C230 Refuse the Invitation
Trainer was the one who used the sword the most, and since he was using the sword, he would naturally choose the Skysword Sect, which mainly used the sword.
Because of this, the Skysword Sect was the strongest in the Five Great Sects, followed by the Skyfire Sect and the Heavenly Saber Sect. The Tian Dao Sect and the Dimly Discernible Sect were the weakest in the Five Great Sects.
And amongst them, the Dimly Discernible Sect was the most mysterious. Every year, the Sect Large Competition would be the last to appear. Of course, most of the time, the Dimly Discernible Sect would return empty-handed.
Because for the Dimly Discernible Sect, if there was no suitable candidate, they would rather not accept it.
"You are Lu Feng?"
In a large tent, nine elders of the three major sects sat on both sides of the tent. Only one person stood in the center of the tent, and that person was Lu Feng.
"Greetings, elders!" Lu Feng said respectfully.
When someone told him that the elders of the three major sects were looking for him, Lu Feng had already guessed the reason. It must be because he had been too high-profile, which had alerted the elders of the various major sects.
"Lu Feng, you are a smart man. I believe you should know why we came all the way here to find you!" A middle-aged man with red hair said. He had a flaming beard. He also had a pair of fierce eyes, which gave people a very fierce feeling.
"Brother Niu, look at the way you speak. It feels like you are interrogating a criminal. How dare you, Lu Feng, go to your Skyfire Sect?" The man in the Daoist robe said with a smile.
After saying that, the man shifted his gaze to Lu Feng. After that, he continued with a smile, "Lu Feng, let me introduce myself. I am the executive elder of Tian Dao Sect. I have received orders from the Sect Master to invite you to join Tian Dao Sect."
"Hey, hey, hey. Brother Yang, there must be a first come first serve. Heavenly Saber Sect is the first to arrive here. Even if it's an invitation, we have to say it first!" A middle-aged man with a fierce aura said in a deep voice.
"Lu Feng, the Sect Master of our Heavenly Saber Sect is willing to accept you as an in-name disciple. If you agree, you can follow me to the Heavenly Saber Sect." The middle-aged man with a fierce aura looked at Lu Feng and continued.
"An in-name disciple? This is the condition of Heavenly Saber Sect. Lu Feng, the Sect Chief of Skyfire Sect is willing to accept you as his disciple. If you perform well in the future, you can also compete for the position of Sect Master! " Niu Ben said.
An in-name disciple was just a title. Under normal circumstances, one had to rely on oneself to cultivate. But because he was an in-name disciple of the Sect Master, his status was naturally much higher than that of an ordinary disciple.
But for an in-house disciple, it was different. Not only was his status much higher than that of an in-name disciple, he would even have the qualifications to inherit the Sect Master in the future.
Of course, as the Grandmaster, the number of in-house disciples was naturally not small. A Grandmaster naturally had to be inherited by the most outstanding person. Hence, if one wanted to stand out from this, one had to rely on one's own abilities.
"Lu Feng, the Sect Master of Tian Dao Sect is willing to accept you as his last disciple. Moreover, your weapon doesn't seem to be a blade, and your cultivation technique isn't a fire attribute cultivation technique either. Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable for you to come to the Tian Dao Sect. In the future, you will definitely be able to show off your skills in the Tian Dao Sect! "
The elder who had asked Lu Feng to join the Tian Dao Sect spoke once again, and the conditions he offered were obviously more generous than the other two major sects.
What did he mean by 'closed door disciple'? It meant that after accepting you, he would no longer accept any other disciples. He would also wholeheartedly guide you in your cultivation, and even pass down all the knowledge he had learned in his life to others.
In addition, Lu Feng had also understood the characteristics of the major sects, and it was true that the Tian Dao Sect was the most suitable for him. After all, the Skyfire Sect paid attention to the fire attribute cultivation technique. This was suitable for someone like Huo Wu to join. The Heavenly Saber Sect paid attention to saber techniques, and he didn't use a saber. It would be a bit of a conflict if he joined such a sect.
But the Tian Dao Sect was different. They had all kinds of weapons, and if Lu Feng used a staff, once he joined the Tian Dao Sect, there would definitely be a master who was proficient in staff techniques who would personally guide him.
With this kind of guidance, it would be very helpful to Lu Feng's growth.
Listening to the elders of the three major sects, Lu Feng also considered it. He even personally asked Mu Xiao what he meant.
However, Mu Xiao didn't want to participate in this. He just gave Lu Feng some suggestions, hoping that Lu Feng would continue to wait.
Although Mu Xiao didn't explain the situation, Lu Feng believed that he had his own intentions.
"Elders, may I hear what Lu Feng has to say?"
Since he had made up his mind, Lu Feng naturally had to express his intentions. Otherwise, he really did not know if this tent would be overturned by the Nine Grand Elder in front of him.
This Nine Grand Elder's cultivation was higher than the Spiritual Infant Tier, and he had already reached the Spirit Sea Stage. With their cultivation, as long as they slightly released their Qi, Lu Feng's entire body would be overturned, and he might even be directly killed.
"Lu Feng, you've already decided?"
Nine Grand Elder, who had originally fallen into an argument because of Lu Feng, asked Lu Feng at the same time.
"Elders, I have thought it through. First of all, I would like to thank all of you for coming all the way here to invite me to join. To be honest, the three major sects are the ideal places for me to go. However, I have not decided where to go yet. Please forgive me, elders! "
"Also, if I join the sect just like that, many people will think that I took the backdoor. I don't want others to gossip, so I still hope to join the sect through my own efforts. Elders, please forgive me! "
Lu Feng said, then sincerely bowed to the nine elders.
"What?"
Hearing Lu Feng's words, the nine elders were slightly startled. Entering the sect was everyone's lifelong dream, and they believed that Lu Feng really wanted to enter the sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the Sect Large Competition this time.
However, they didn't want such a good opportunity in front of them. They had to go through layers of selection before they could enter the sect. This puzzled the nine elders.
Although Lu Feng had told them his reason, if he really went back with them, who would dare to say anything? Even if he was just an in-name disciple of the Sect Master, his status was comparable to the disciples of Grand Elder.
"Lu Feng, have you really thought it through?" Niu Ben asked.
This kind of thing. Not everyone has the opportunity to open the back door, so if you miss it, there's no chance of regret.
Furthermore, although Lu Feng's strength was extraordinary, it was better to be safe than sorry. If something unexpected happened in the upcoming competition, he was afraid that he would have no fate with the sect.
Therefore, as long as it was an ordinary person, they would definitely grasp such a good opportunity. But now, Lu Feng had rejected their invitation.
"En, I have thought it through. I want to enter the sect step by step through my own strength and gain the recognition of the sect. After all, this can be considered as a practice, and it's beneficial to me!" Lu Feng nodded and said.
Seeing that Lu Feng had made up his mind, the nine elders didn't force him anymore. At the same time, they were also impressed by this young man in front of them.
Not being able to grasp such a good opportunity was not something an ordinary person could have.
Just like that, since Lu Feng had decided to compete with the others for the spots to enter the sect with his own strength, the nine elders of the three major sects didn't force him anymore. Of course... They would also relay the news back to the other sects.
"Hu!"
After watching the elders of the three major sects leave the tent, Lu Feng let out a sigh of relief.
Although these nine elders had restrained their Qi, the powerful pressure that belonged to Spirit Sea Stage still existed.
It would be fine if only one or two Spirit Sea Stage warriors restrained their Qi and stood in front of Lu Feng, but now there were nine of them. How could Lu Feng not feel pressured?
"Lu Feng, you really gave up on executing the elder's invitation?" Liu Shuzhong looked at Lu Feng with a surprised look in his eyes.
What a great opportunity! Why did you give it up for nothing?
"Lu Feng, the following matches won't be easy. If I were you, I would leave with the elder now!" Another person standing beside Liu Shuzhong said.
This man was also from Heavenly Saber Sect. Due to Lu Feng's relationship with him, his strength had improved a little. Therefore, he was naturally grateful to Lu Feng.
Hearing the words of these two people, Lu Feng smiled and said, "I, Lu Feng am not a person who uses the back door. I want to enter the sect openly, so that no one will gossip about me."
Upon hearing Lu Feng's words, Liu Shuzhong didn't say anything. He didn't even want to be a lobbyist for his own sect, because this might make him feel disgusted instead.
"Big Brother Liu, if there is nothing else, I will go back and rest first." After confirming that Nine Grand Elder had left, Lu Feng said.
" Mm! "
Liu Shuzhong nodded and said, "I also need to go and practice. The posture you corrected allowed me to exert a lot of strength. But my body still can't coordinate well. If it is in a battle... If I hesitate, I might be knocked down by the enemy! "
" Yes!"
Lu Feng also nodded his head, and then they separated.
After parting with Liu Shuzhong and the others, Lu Feng returned to his small tent. As for Huo Wu and the others, they had been working hard on their cultivation these past few days.
Cultivating in this place would yield twice the results with half the effort, so they naturally had to make use of this time to make use of this resource. After all, it wasn't easy to encounter a Fifth Grade Spiritual Concentration Array.
"Senior, do you want me to choose the Skysword Sect? That's why you asked me to reject these three major sects!" After sitting on the bed, Lu Feng asked in his mind.
Although not using the back door was an excuse, this excuse was only what Lu Feng told the others. He only wanted to have the identity of a sect, so that he could pick the Bloody Ginseng. Therefore, entering any sect was no different to him.
Anyway, he had the Indestructible Mantra. Even if he entered the sect, he wouldn't give up on it and start cultivating other skills. As for the Psionic Skill, those big sects were basically the same.
It could be said that if it wasn't for Mu Xiao's suggestion, he would have chosen a sect to join today.
