Cultivation: Beginning with the Heart Reflecting Heaven and Earth

Tao Pili then looked at Chu Qinggang, "You knew about this before I did. What are your thoughts on that?"

Chu Qinggang quickly replied, "Sending them out to gain experience for a while would be a good idea, but if you want to nurture them carefully, you'll have to keep them by your side. It depends on your plans."

After a period of training, it's like being left to its own devices. Whether that's good or bad depends on individual circumstances.

However, if one is not careful, the technique may be lost prematurely, and the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao technique may be lost again.

If you keep them close by and nurture them carefully, you have to put in a lot of effort. Not only do you have to spend time arranging many things, but you also have to provide the corresponding resources. This way, you can ensure a minimum standard and prevent them from going too badly.

Lu Qian listened from the side, feeling a little nervous. He understood that they were deciding on their training methods and discussing how to arrange their own lives.

However, Lu Qian didn't dare to interrupt; he could only obediently follow orders.

Tao Pili, a man who is usually decisive and efficient, hesitated. "According to my personality, jade must be carved to become a useful object. Even if I take it back directly, no matter what reason I give, it will cause all sorts of speculation..."

On the contrary, Tao Pili didn't care at all about the resources for nurturing Lu Qian. The Canglan Holy Land was large and powerful, and the Xuantian Palace was not bad either. No matter what, it was not difficult to cultivate a person into a Nascent Soul. But if someone interfered, that would be another matter.

Chu Qing then looked at Lu Qian, "This is your own business, Lu Qian, what do you think?"

If it were the Lu Qian of the past, he would definitely have wanted a more comfortable life, where he could get a lot of resources right away and not have to work hard on missions. This was the life he had always dreamed of.

But now Lu Qian understands that even those disciples with powerful backgrounds, whom he believes are not truly carefree and without scruples, are subject to various assessments.

Most importantly, his preferential treatment comes from the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao (a magical device), not from any real background. The Zhou Tian Xing Qiao will also bring him unprecedented trouble. If it is really exposed, it is hard to say how long he can live.

So Lu Qian said tactfully, "This disciple does not want to be too high-profile, but I am not good at fighting. I am only devoted to alchemy and deduce spells in my spare time."

This was essentially stating his conditions. Lu Qian didn't know if it would be useful, but he had to state his requirements. In any case, since they wanted to obtain the Zhou Tian Xing Qiao, they couldn't completely ignore Lu Qian's thoughts.

"Alchemy is merely a last resort. We cultivators must ultimately engage in combat and sword duels, otherwise our journey will have been in vain."

Tao Pili blew his beard, clearly dissatisfied with Lu Qian's idea, but he then added, "However, you come from a humble background, so such thoughts are understandable."

Chu Qinggang then said, "I remember, didn't you always want to go ashore? You even established a sect in the Western Continent, wanting to expand your territory. Why don't you just send him there? After a while, you can say that he has made a contribution to spreading the teachings, and then take him back to train him. No one else can find any problems with that."

Tao Pili hesitated. "Although the Western Continent is rich in spiritual herbs, it is also rife with demons and monsters, and witches and ghosts rule. He is too young and his cultivation is too low. He could easily fall into their trap..."

Just moments ago, Tao Pili was saying that jade cannot become a useful object without being carved, but in the blink of an eye, he himself began to hesitate.

Chu Qinggang laughed and said, "That's simple. Take him back and train him first. Just say he's your nephew or niece. When his cultivation is decent enough, send him back to us."

After thinking for a long time, Tao Pili finally nodded: "Then let's do it this way!"

Then Tao Pili looked at Lu Qian and said, "From now on, you are my bloodline in the mortal world. When you meet people, just say this and don't mention anything else."

Lu Qian knew that his arrangements had finally been finalized. He felt a little apprehensive, but mostly overjoyed. He was about to leave the Canghai Sect, and being able to find another place was already quite good, with the possibility of receiving some training. This decision was good news, so he said, "This junior has remembered!"

Chu Qinggang said again, "Once you leave, it might be years, or it might be decades, before you can come back. Do you want to go back and say goodbye to the people you know?"

Lu Qian shook his head firmly, "How long have I been at the Canghai Sect? There's no one I need to say goodbye to. All my important belongings are with me, so there's no need to go back and pack them."

The only people he associated with were a few from the same village, and their relationships weren't very good.

The only person the sect knew was Nie Tiefeng, but they hadn't been in contact for a while.

Even Zhao Qi, who was relatively close to Lu Qian, was suspected of using him as a pawn.

As for Xu Kuzhou, who taught Lu Qian alchemy, he was also a reclusive person. What was the point of him making a special trip to say goodbye to him?

And with Chu Liu right in front of them, there's no need to say more.

Lu Qian then realized that he had been in the Canghai Sect for half a year and had not made many acquaintances.

Most cultivators practice alone or go on missions in groups, and few make friends often, so it's not surprising that Lu Qian doesn't know many people.

"In that case, let's not waste any more time, let's set off now!"

Tao Pili was also a decisive person. He stood up, nodded to Chu Qinggang, and then transformed into a rainbow of light, carrying Lu Qian into the sky. Only a blur remained before he disappeared.

Chu Liu stared in the direction Lu Qian had left, remaining motionless for a long time. Then he looked at his master, who had already left and whose whereabouts were unknown.

"Years have passed since we parted, and I wonder if we will ever have the chance to meet again!"

Lu Qian was a rare and extraordinary person whom he had never met before. His ability to deduce cultivation techniques was unparalleled, which attracted the Golden Core elders of the Holy Land to come looking for him. After a short time in the sect, he was sent back to the Holy Land.

All of this was unknown to anyone except Chu Qinggang and his apprentice.

Aside from a few people, no one else paid attention to Lu Qian's departure. Even the Canghai Sect didn't care, since he was just an outer disciple who hadn't caused any major trouble and wasn't worth paying too much attention to.

The rumors that had been circulating widely before quickly dissipated when the person involved was not present.

Of course, some people wondered why Lu Qian disappeared, but it was easy to guess. If you offend a disciple of the Dao lineage, it is difficult to stay in the sect. You can only go outside to look for opportunities. Many people guessed that Lu Qian had taken on an overseas mission and went to avoid the limelight.

Even Zhao Qi thought so. After confirming Lu Qian's departure, he remained silent for a long time. "He didn't even say goodbye before leaving. He must be resenting me in his heart."

The number of disciples of the Canghai Sect who remain within the sect is in the tens of thousands, while those who are outside the sect are probably no less than hundreds of thousands. Every day, people come and go, and all sorts of troubles arise one after another. The pearl-picking case that Lu Qian witnessed was just an insignificant link, and it was quickly submerged in other trends and no one cared about it.

After a relatively short flight, Lu Qian had arrived at the Canglan Holy Land.
