Yun Fan was momentarily taken aback by the words, his breath quickening slightly, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes. The prospect of entering Tian Jiao Tower and receiving a million spirit stones was indeed tempting. After all, a million spirit stones would be enough for him to cultivate for a considerable time, allowing for rapid breakthroughs in his cultivation.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Fan slowly spoke up. "What exactly is required to enter Tian Jiao Tower?" He was not naive enough to believe that entering Tian Jiao Tower would come without any cost; after all, investments always demanded returns.
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhu's eyes sparkled with allure as Su Ma's voice chimed in. "Young Master, once you enter Tian Jiao Tower, you will be bound to it for life. You must obey its commands and arrangements, and betrayal is not tolerated. Anyone who defies this will face severe consequences."
Yun Fan frowned at this revelation. He hadn't anticipated that joining Tian Jiao Tower would restrict his freedom and require him to follow orders. This was something he found hard to accept. After all, he couldn't possibly remain in the Great Qin Kingdom indefinitely; once his cultivation improved, he would inevitably seek to explore the broader world outside.
In comparison to the Sect, he found it much more liberating. The Heavenly Sword Sect allowed its members a degree of freedom; as long as they adhered to the sect's rules, there were no significant restrictions. Members could come and go as they pleased, venture into the outside world for months or even years without issue. Moreover, the Sect had assessments in place—if one's cultivation did not meet certain standards, they could be expelled.
Even if he couldn't break through in his cultivation, he could apply to leave the Sect to return to his family or establish a small force within the Great Qin Kingdom. The Sect had always respected the freedom of its disciples.
Additionally, the resources within Heavenly Sword Sect were vast, boasting numerous cultivation sanctuaries and various Sword Technique Manuals that far surpassed what Tian Jiao Tower could offer. He wouldn't sacrifice the opportunity to join the Sect for a mere million spirit stones and a few Xuan Level Techniques.
Yun Fan shook his head and replied calmly, "Yue Zhu, I appreciate your Young Master's offer, but after careful consideration, I have decided to pursue my cultivation in Heavenly Sword Sect."
Yue Zhu felt a tremor in her heart at his response; she was surprised that Yun Fan would turn down such generous treatment in favor of joining the Sect. She immediately tried to persuade him further. "Young Master, I can negotiate with my master for additional resources. Even I would be at your service from now on and can do anything for you. Is there any way I can change your mind?"
Yun Fan shook his head again, his expression remaining calm and composed as he replied softly.
"I have made up my mind, so I hope you will not persuade me any further," said Yue Zhu.
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment crossed Yue Zhu's fair cheeks. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so resolute. Maintaining her polite smile, she slightly bowed and left the room.
Yun Fan watched Yue Zhu depart, feeling no stirrings in his heart. No matter how generous the conditions offered, he would never accept anything that restricted his freedom.
He immediately stood up and walked into the inner bedroom, sitting cross-legged on the bed. He began to cultivate, absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to enhance his cultivation level. After all, the Heavenly Sword Sect's assessment was just a few days away, and he aimed to elevate his skills as much as possible.
A few days later, Yun Fan slowly emerged from his meditation, having significantly increased his cultivation level, now reaching the peak of True Essence Realm Level Seven. If he had another half month, he was confident he could break through to Level Eight of True Essence Realm.
However, Yun Fan was not in a hurry. Today was the day of the Heavenly Sword Sect's assessment; as long as he passed and entered the Sect, he would have plenty of time to cultivate.
