Chapter 16: Do you want to die?
Ji Xuan was entirely unaware and continued speaking with confidence.
"But now, a tremendous opportunity lies before you—one that could change your destiny. If you join us, you'll not only gain protection from the Feng family in the capital, but you'll also have access to advanced martial techniques. There's even a chance to earn earth-level skills—just like those possessed by elite cultivators. If you manage to win favor with certain high-level figures, breaking through to the Spiritual Essence Realm or even the Dharma Realm would no longer be a dream."
Upon hearing this, Long Chen lost all interest.
Had this opportunity come to the body's original owner before he transmigrated, perhaps it would have seemed like a blessing. But now, he had already mastered two earth-level techniques—one of which exceeded the known classification altogether. With enough luck points, he could obtain any skill or technique he desired, regardless of its tier.
This pitch sounded like a beggar offering a millionaire a chance to earn a few coins by joining his group.
Behind Long Chen, Long Nian's expression grew strange as he listened to Ji Xuan's offer. Were it not for his discipline, he might have burst into laughter. The clan leader had already taught him two advanced earth-tier skills—why would mere human-level techniques seem valuable anymore?
Compared to what they now possessed, even basic earth-level skills seemed as trivial as scraps of food.
Long Nian had once assumed the force recruiting their patriarch was an extraordinary power. Now, after hearing Ji Xuan's words, he realized how far off that assumption had been.
As both remained calm and expressionless, Ji Xuan began to sense something was off.
Not only was Long Chen unmoved by the tempting offer, but even the young man behind him showed no reaction. Ji Xuan couldn't comprehend it.
"You know, when I first heard of these skills, I was so thrilled I couldn't sleep for three nights!" Ji Xuan said incredulously.
