Chapter 547: Chapter 0368: Anyway, They’re Not the Ones Who Will Regret – Part 2 Chapter 547: Chapter 0368: Anyway, They’re Not the Ones Who Will Regret – Part 2 Lu Jingfei hadn’t expected that the couple, Xu Jifa and Wang Xiuwu, would opt for this course of action, instead of being loyal to the Imperial Master Mansion, they gave their devotion directly to Qi Tian himself. The difference between the two situations was vast. He hastily also knelt and corrected himself, “Sir, I misspoke before. I too am willing to be loyal to you for my entire life, without ever betraying you.”
Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi looked on as their three old friends employed such thods to invoke Qi Tian to grant them the Pseudo-True Pills. They thought about how the Elders and Palace Masters in the Imperial Master Mansion didn’t even seize such a golden opportunity delivered to them. And then they rembered how the Great Elder Chen Chen wasted a Pseudo-True Pill, they could only sigh in rue.
The world is such, that which so people do not cherish, often happens to be a priceless treasure in the eyes of others.
They felt very fortunate that they could receive the Pseudo-True Pills granted by Qi Tian without paying a heavy price. Moreover, they didn’t have to be tornted over whether to be loyal to Qi Tian or the Imperial Master Mansion.
Qi Tian stared at Lu Jingfei, Wang Xiuwu, and Xu Jifa, all three at the peak of Foundation Establishnt Stage for a mont as he calculated the advantages and disadvantages. He had five Pseudo-True Pills left, and after giving one to each of them, he would still have two left. In terms of the quantity of the pill, it was definitely enough, but what he needed to consider was whether it was necessary to nurture so many Pseudo Core Realm cultivators in Lubei County.
From the perspective of talent and foundation, the practitioners at the peak of Foundation Establishnt Stage of the cultivation world in the Great Zhao certainly cannot compare with those in Wanjie City. The difference was just like the gap between a person living in a cosmopolitan city and one living in a remote countryside.
In the long term, it is definitely more appropriate to cultivate Pseudo Core Realm practitioners in Wanjie City. However, when Qi Tian most needs the assistance of the Pseudo Core Realm practitioners, it is now, not the future. He currently can’t be certain how much longer the calm within the Imperial Master Mansion can last, nor can he predict how many Gold Core Stage powerhouses would attack in the future, or speculate their cultivation levels and strengths?
Just in case, it would be a wise move to cultivate a few more Pseudo Core Realm practitioners in Lubei County. Moreover, if he can cultivate Pseudo Core Realm practitioners who are entirely loyal to him, it would also increase his resources, and prevent larger risks from appearing in the future.
After a mont, Qi Tian, under the anxious wait of Lu Jingfei, Wang Xiuwu, and Xu Jifa, said to Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi, “You two go and stand guard outside, no one is to be allowed in without my permission.”
Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi left Qi Tian’s room obediently without knowing what Qi Tian intended to do and positioned themselves outside the County Master Mansion.
The two were at a loss for words. They had an intuition that this might be the last ti Qi Tian was cultivating the Pseudo Core Realm practitioners. In the future, even if the Palace Masters and Elders of Imperial Master Mansion realized their mistake, regardless of their pleas for Pseudo-True Pill, it’s likely that Qi Tian would not distribute them again. Perhaps he really didn’t have any, or his heart had been too hurt. Regardless of the reason, it wouldn’t be them who would live in regret.
Inside the room, Qi Tian said, “I can perceive your sincerity from your gestures. Very well, I will provide each of you three with a chance. Whether you can breakthrough is up to you. There is one thing I must make clear, you two, if one of you manages to breakthrough while the other doesn’t, the latter must still fulfill the promise of lifelong loyalty to . Do not play the card of dying on the sa day.”
Wang Xiuwu and Xu Jifa hurriedly nodded in agreent. If they didn’t nod, the opportunity to take the Pseudo-True Pill would be gone.
Qi Tian took out three Pseudo-True Pills, and gave one each to Lu Jingfei, Wang Xiuwu, and Xu Jifa, then he set up an Array of Spirit Gathering in the room using so spirit stones, and had them sit in the array to attempt to break through.
Their breakthrough was successful. On one hand, the failure rate was typically low when using Pseudo-True Pills to break through, and on the other hand, Lu Jingfei and the others were veteran practitioners at the ninth level of Foundation Establishnt, with a rather strong and firm cultivation base, hence their breakthroughs were all very smooth.
While they were breaking through, just as Qi Tian had aided Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi, he also aided them by pushing their almost-stagnant Qi Sea, helping them to slightly increase their strength.
Lu Jingfei and the others first heard from Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi that Qi Tian had battle power comparable to the Gold Core Stage. They initially had doubts, but after Qi Tian was able to push their Qi Sea, which they themselves couldn’t move, all their doubts dispersed. After consolidating their cultivation base, they opened up their Sea of consciousness to Qi Tian and allowed him to place a brand within them. With this brand, their allegiance was clear. They were loyal to Qi Tian and not any other person or power.
Qi Tian was very satisfied with this outco. He gave so spirit stones to Lu Jingfei, Wang Xiuwu, and Xu Jifa respectively, and had them stay in the County Master Mansion to cultivate. Although their cultivation realm could not continue to grow, there were other ways to strengthen their battle power. Fixing their realm was not the only option but due to their stagnating cultivation realm, the power they could gain from other ans was sowhat limited. But every bit counted. Perhaps at a crucial mont, these additional bits of power could make a difference.
Wang Xiuwu and Xu Jifa were a couple without any children; they had no worries outside. Lu Jingfei, however, was different as he was the head of a cultivation family. Now that he had joined Qi Tian, so arrangents needed to be made. His deepest desire was to lead his entire family to pledge allegiance to Qi Tian.
The wealth and power of Qi Tian convinced Lu Jingfei that he was worthy of their dedication. But when he proposed this idea to Qi Tian, his request was imdiately denied.
There was no extraordinarily talented younger generation in Lu Jingfei’s family. If there were, they would have already entered the three National Master Manors to learn the arts and wouldn’t suffer in the family due to the lack of cultivation resources. His place wasn’t a junkyard where anyone could be taken in. He did have so cultivation resources but they weren’t endless. It was necessary to save whenever possible.
Of course, Qi Tian did not oppose or stop Lu Jingfei’s desire to help his family. After all, he would grant him a monthly stipend in future. How Lu Jingfei wanted to spend that stipend was his business. Even if he gave it all to his family, he wouldn’t mind. However, expecting Qi Tian to provide an additional allowance was out of the question.
Nevertheless, Qi Tian did not completely shut him off. If, in the future, a very talented young man arises from the Lu family, he would be willing to accept them if they wished to join him. The fear was, considering their self-esteem due to their outstanding talent, they might not want to join him.
After settling Lu Jingfei and the others, he sent Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi back to the Imperial Master Mansion. As he was not frequently at the Imperial Master Mansion, Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi were the most powerful forces of the mansion. If it were attacked by an enemy, they would have to engage in battle first, either annihilating the enemy or holding them off, awaiting his reinforcents. The distance between the Imperial Master Mansion and the County Master Mansion was not very far, even less than a hundred li. Qi Tian could reach quickly if he rode Hu Niu, it would not take much ti. If he used his flying sword, or the bronze statue of the crane, that would be even faster, and wouldn’t take too long.
Soon after Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi left, Hao Wenxi returned with a ssage Paper Crane in her hand. She offered it to Qi Tian with both hands.
