Chapter 385: I Understand, I Understand This!_1
Trenton Rich’s invitation actually had quite a bit of sincerity. Just the promise of an unlimited supply of elixirs necessary for cultivation was enough to make any cultivator’s heart flutter.
The path of cultivation, while reliant on talent, depends even more on resources.
This is akin to the saying that even a pig can fly if it stands at the right spot in a strong wind. Pour an abundance of cultivation resources into someone, and even a pig can become quite formidable.
Hadn’t the Miller Family won over so many non-family cultivators by splurging on money, resources, and cultivation techniques?
Carson Flores needed elixirs for cultivation as well; otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Trevor Knight to find him a connection to purchase medicine, leading to this very dinner party.
However, even though Carson Flores needed elixirs, he had no intention of joining any sect or family.
Regardless of how grand the title or how high the status, at its core, the nature was still of being bought by someone else, used by others—nothing more than the difference between a low-level employee and a senior manager.
Carson Flores raised his cup with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Rich, for your high regard. However, I’m quite accustomed to my freedom. I’m lazy and like to act on a whim, so I’m not interested in joining for now. But rest assured, Mr. Rich, I will not be joining any sects."
Brock Rich was slightly disappointed, but this outcome was somewhat expected.
