Cultivation Online

"If you manage to get accepted by the Min Family in the upper heavens, they will be able to supply you with even better cultivation resources, and your cultivation will soar at a speed that one cannot even begin to imagine. The Min Family is also a powerful family in the upper heavens, so you will have their backing."

Hearing Min Li's words, Yuan shook his head and said, "Although I am humbled that you'd invite someone like me to your family, I don't think I am ready to join any factions for real yet, as I don't want my freedom to be limited."

Min Li frowned at his words, and she spoke, "Then why did you join the Dragon Essence Temple? Your actions do not match your words, Disciple Yuan!"

"I only joined because they promised me that they wouldn't restrict my freedom and that I am allowed to leave the sect whenever I want. In other words, I am not required to give the sect my commitment. Of course, that is not to say I don't care about the sect."

"..."

Min Li turned silent afterward, and she pondered to herself.

'While it's not impossible for him to be free in the future, the Min Family will most likely restrict his movements for a while to ensure that he doesn't run away, especially if they learn about his unfathomable talents.'

Sometime later, Min Li opened her mouth again, "What do you want?"

"Huh?" Yuan raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner.

"I'm asking you what it would take for you to join the Min Family! Do you want money? Do you want fame? If you're that kind of person, the Min Family can even provide you with as many beautiful women as you want!" Min Li said with a cold gaze.

"Uh…" Yuan was speechless. Why does Min Li seem so desperate trying to recruit him?

"Does it really matter if I join the Min Family or not? I am just a single individual, and there are plenty of talented individuals out there. It would be fine if you ignored one or two of them, right? Why do you want me to join your family so much?" Yuan decided to ask her.

"You have no idea what it means to be part of one of the Seven Legacy Families! Everything is a competition here! Your performance! Your achievements! Your contribution! Everything! I don't want to stay in the Lower Heavens forever, nor do I plan on staying here! And the only way I can leave this place is with my family's help!"

"However, just because I was born in the family doesn't mean I will naturally get their help! I must earn it! And I am currently nowhere near my goal whilst my siblings are way ahead of me! If I can recruit someone as talented as you into the Min Family, it will definitely help me achieve my goal! So please, join the Min Family! If you want, I will even become your woman! If you join the Min Family, they will definitely assign you someone within the family as your wife to keep you there, and I will volunteer to be your wife! No, I will even fight for that position if you want! If I somehow still lose, I will become your concubine instead!"

Yuan's jaw dropped after Min Li's unexpected outburst and offer. But alas, no matter how much he tried, he simply could not understand Min Li's feelings.

Yuan suddenly noticed the glistening tears in Min Li's eyes that were on the verge of falling and sliding off her face, which made him swallow nervously.

"I...Give me some time… I need to think about it…" Yuan spoke in an awkward voice a moment later.

Min Li wiped the tears from her eyes and nodded afterward.

"Don't worry, I won't reveal your identity, nor did I have the intention to from the start. After all, I cannot risk the other Legacy Families knowing about your existence before you join the Min Family!"

A few minutes later, Yuan left Min Li's house and returned to his own.

"Xiao Hua, Feng Feng, I have a question. Why would someone want to leave the Lower Heavens to go to the upper heavens? What's up there?" Yuan asked them in a pondering voice as he laid on the bed with a dazed look on his face.

"Most people— Cultivators yearn for the upper heavens because there are more opportunities there compared to this Mortal world. The Qi in that world is more abundant and dense, allowing Cultivators to cultivate many times faster. This also means the treasures that can be found in the upper heavens are more powerful and valuable, as they are being nurtured by higher quality Qi. It's like giving plants different qualities of fertilizers, and the better quality the fertilizers the better quality the plant will grow to be." Feng Yuxiang responded to his question.

"Brother Yuan, for us Cultivators, we always strive for constant growth. The Lower Heavens greatly limit our growth so it's only natural for Cultivators to want to travel to a place that is not as limiting." Xiao Hua spoke next.

"I see…" Yuan closed his eyes, seemingly trying to go to sleep.

However, Feng Yuxiang's voice resounded again.

"Young Master, if you're thinking about joining one of the Seven Legacy Families, I highly suggest you refrain from doing that."

"Eh? Why is that?" Yuan opened his eyes and asked.

"I don't know what the Seven Legacy Families look like in the Lower Heavens since I don't interact with them much, but in the upper heavens, they are all incredibly arrogant and self-centered people who will do anything to achieve their goals. I don't want someone like the Young Master to be affiliated with these kinds of people, as I am afraid that they might corrupt your mind and soul."

"As for what that little girl said… While I didn't detect any lies in her words, you can never be too cautious in the cultivation world."
