Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Subduing Three People

"Ning Fan..." Yan Shuang pondered for a moment, and suddenly his face showed a look of astonishment, "Is it the Ning Fan who just recently defeated Long Yun and reached the third rank on the Tianbang?"

"You know of me?"

"Ahem... Although the three of us have been living in seclusion to endure hardship for our cultivation practice, we still have some understanding of the outside world to some extent."

As he said this, Yan Shuang’s heart grew even more astonished.

The individuals on the Tianbang are admittedly strong, but in their eyes, they are nothing special.

If he were to truly confront Long Yun, Yan Shuang was confident that he could defeat him.

But Ning Fan had just recently defeated Long Yun, and in such a short amount of time, he had already improved to this extent!

How immense must his talent be?!

After a brief moment of surprise, Yan Shuang’s expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother Ning, you saved the lives of us three brothers; we have no way to repay you."

"In the future, no matter what you need, we will go through fire and water, and will not refuse!"

Behind him, Liu Xing and He Yun also showed the same resolute expression.

They all clearly understood that if it had not been for Ning Fan’s intervention, they would have likely met with misfortune back in the town at the foot of the mountain.

Ning Fan waved his hand dismissively: "No need to be so serious, we all come from the Secular World, it is only natural to help each other."

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you wish to improve your strength?"

In his view, the strength of these three was still too weak; even if they really wanted to help him with something, they might not even be capable of protecting themselves.

Their ability to cultivate to the peak of the Transcendent Realm showed that their talent was actually not that poor, it was just that, compared to the people in Kunlun, they had a different starting point.

The scarcity of spiritual energy in the Secular World, along with their lack of cultivation techniques, meant that even when they reached the end of their path, they could not step onto the path of cultivation.

But he could teach them the basics of the path. With their talents and their current strength, they should be able to quickly enter the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Even if it was just the initial stage of Foundation Establishment, in Kunlun, that would be enough to have the capability of self-protection.

Hearing that Ning Fan could help them improve their strength, the three of them all wore looks of disbelief.

"Brother Ning, you’re not joking with us, are you?" Yan Shuang cautiously asked, "This is not the martial path of the Secular World; it’s not so easy to improve."

If it were just the martial path of the Secular World, they also had ways to help those of lower realms to improve.

If Ning Fan was talking about helping them improve their martial capabilities, then basically, they wouldn’t need to think further.

Their progress in the path of martial arts had almost reached its end.

However, what Ning Fan said next completely disrupted the three’s composure.

"No, I’m talking about letting you officially step into the threshold of cultivation, to become cultivators."

As he spoke these words, his tone was extraordinarily calm, as if he were discussing what to eat for lunch.

But to the three of them, it was as shocking as thunderclaps, ringing in their ears.

Step onto the path of cultivation?

Before they knew the specifics of Kunlun, they even thought that was utterly outlandish.

Now that they understood the situation in Kunlun, they felt even more hopeless.

How difficult it was to become a cultivator!

Although Kunlun appeared to have many cultivators, in reality, they didn’t even make up half the number of martial practitioners in the Secular World.

Many disciples of the sects spend their entire lives confined to the Qi Refinement Realm, with no possibility of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Those who truly aim to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage are without exception either incredibly talented or bolstered by family resources.

As for the highly revered Pseudo-Dan Realm, it seemed so lofty that it wasn’t even worth contemplating the pursuit of.

Yan Shuang had even considered seeking an opportunity to return to the Secular World, as the pursuit of cultivation seemed far too difficult.

With their physical constitutions set, to practice cultivation would require consuming a large amount of spiritual medicine, and no sect would undertake such a loss-making endeavor.

Therefore, Ning Fan’s offer to help them step onto the path of cultivation seemed like an incredulous matter to them!

"Brother Ning, with our level, the difficulty of stepping onto the path of cultivation... You might not be fully aware," Yan Shuang said with a wry smile.

He felt that Ning Fan’s talent was too extraordinary, so he might not understand how much effort others need to put forth to step onto the path of cultivation.

"Rest assured, with my help, you’ll soon be able to start cultivating," Ning Fan said calmly. "However, I want you to promise me that you will follow me from now on."

Helping the few of them step onto the path of cultivation was simple; a Foundation Establishment Pill would suffice.

Even Su Qingcheng with her constitution could change her physical roots and step onto the path of cultivation, let alone these individuals who have reached the pinnacle in the martial path.

Looking into Ning Fan’s calm eyes, the doubts Yan Shuang was about to voice gradually receded.

This guy... it sounds like he’s telling the truth?

Could he really help us step onto the path of cultivation?

The thought of being able to cultivate smoothly made Yan Shuang’s blood boil with excitement, his entire being filled with eager anticipation.

That was cultivation, after all!

Having pursued the martial path for so many years, suffering vastly, and upon glimpsing hope, then plunging into despair.

Now, Ning Fan was giving him a new hope!

Taking a deep breath, Yan Shuang bowed deeply and said solemnly, "Brother Ning, if you can help us step onto the path of cultivation, the three of us will pledge our allegiance to you, and we will go through fire and water, willing to die without any regrets!"
