But even though Muf Leiyun was angered by Chen Fei’s dismissive attitude and felt unhappy inside, his expression quivered a bit, and he still prepared to explain further.

”I think you might not have grasped the importance of my words,” Muf Leiyun said slowly as he gazed at Chen Fei.

”Oh, I’m all ears,” Chen Fei replied with a narrowed smile.

”Do you know what it means when more than half, when two adults speak highly of you, with promises of full support and development?” Muf Leiyun asked.

”What does it mean?” Chen Fei shook his head. He obviously didn’t know, and moreover, he wasn’t very interested...

”Ah, this guy, really…” Seeing Chen Fei still sporting this indifferent attitude, Muf Leiyun felt a rising frustration. Looking at Chen Fei, he spoke with some agitation.

”In our Floating Immortal Pavilion, each branch has an ’Core Member’ nomination and cultivation quota. This comes with a great supply of resources from the branch or even the headquarters, such as pills, magical treasures, cultivation methods, etc! Not to mention a lifetime of endless wealth.”

As Muf Leiyun reached this point, his breath suddenly caught, looking at Chen Fei with intense focus, he said, ”Moreover, in our Floating Immortal Pavilion headquarters, there are no shortages of Primordial Core True Lords, many of whom hold the position of Supreme Elder. Do you understand what that implies? If the Core Member performs excellently, they could even be granted the privilege to apprentice under a Supreme Elder, soaring to great heights, gaining tremendous backing!”

”The adults mentioned ’cultivating you without reservation’—what they really mean is they intend to offer this quota to you. So, do you understand what this means now?”

Muf Leiyun finally spoke all his thoughts in one breath. Then, he looked intently at Chen Fei with a smile.

He couldn’t believe, faced with such overwhelming temptation, could he really remain unmoved?

Obviously, that should be impossible! Only a fool would…

”Hmm, I got it.” But before such thoughts could fully settle in his mind, Chen Fei’s faint words came, freezing his expression and leaving him momentarily stunned.

What does ’Hmm, I got it.’ mean? Is that all? What’s next!?

Muf Leiyun couldn’t help but look at Chen Fei with lively excitement. He simply couldn’t fathom how Chen Fei managed to stay so calm.

Is it possible that those conditions truly don’t tempt him at all? But how could that be...

”Master.” Even Cang Kun nearby couldn’t help but whisper, his expression peculiar. To him, it seemed like an excellent opportunity to ascend, but why wouldn’t Chen Fei be the least bit interested?

Honestly, he truly couldn’t understand. He felt as if he and Chen Fei operated on entirely different wavelengths, as if they were people of two distinct worlds.

”Is that all...But Chief Chen, aren’t those conditions enough? Even the Core Disciples of the four top forces in Ghost Wolf City would be moved by such conditions!”

”What fails to appeal to you?” Muf Leiyun was genuinely at a loss for words, the situation he thought was a sure thing, who would’ve known...he could only speak with excitement, looking at Chen Fei.

”Actually, it’s quite simple; I lack none of the conditions you’ve presented. So, it’s not that these aren’t appealing to me; rather, they simply don’t hold any allure!”

Chen Fei shrugged, with a smile he replied, ”Mr. Mu, to put it arrogantly, do you think with my alchemical prowess, I would lack pills, magical treasures, cultivation methods, or spirit stones?”

Upon hearing it, Muf Leiyun was utterly stunned—his eyes instinctively carried a touch of the absurd, alongside an exceptionally surprised and helpless look.

Indeed, Chen Fei’s ability to concoct a Second Level Superior Six-pattern Cloud Vein Pill, with his formidable alchemy strength, it’s likely he won’t be lacking pills, magical treasures, or spirit stones.

The Floating Immortal Pavilion, after all, was drawn to such extraordinary capabilities, hence their desire to recruit him.

But—but...

”But—but what if? Becoming a Core Member of our Floating Immortal Pavilion means potentially gaining recognition from the Supreme Elders, being granted priority to apprentice under them! Isn’t this a rare opportunity? Does that not attract you at all?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei simply sneered inwardly, somewhat disdainful. Let’s not discuss the appeal of potentially apprenticing under a Primordial Core True Lord Realm expert...

What bothered him was that it was merely a possibility, which made him disinterested.

Just a possibility? And if eventually, it’s just a ruse, what then?

He seriously wasn’t inclined to waste time on such matters. It felt entirely like a time-waster.

Seeing Chen Fei silent, Muf Leiyun grew even more emotionally excited.

”Do you plan on spending your life in Ghost Wolf City? With your alchemy strength and potential, it’s truly a waste.” Muf Leiyun said.

From his perspective, though Ghost Wolf City wasn’t small, for an alchemist genius like Chen Fei, it was somewhat restricting.

If he didn’t venture out, it would be a real shame! Squandering such potential and talent.

”Says who?” Chen Fei replied, half-laughing, finding their arbitrary labeling absurd and somewhat funny.

Doesn’t being disinterested in their Floating Immortal Pavilion signify petty ambition and lack of grand vision? That’s rather presumptuous!

The cultivation world certainly doesn’t revolve around your Floating Immortal Pavilion. Honestly...

”Then why not accept?” Muf Leiyun pressed further. He truly couldn’t comprehend.

Chen Fei shook his head, his deeply clear eyes briefly glimmering with a touch of brilliance. At last, he uttered a somewhat truthful statement, speaking slowly.

”It’s simple, my ambition isn’t limited to Earth Martial City.”

Ambition beyond Earth Martial City?

Muf Leiyun was momentarily frozen upon hearing this, his body slightly trembling.

Evidently, he never imagined, not even in a hundred thoughts, he’d hear such a reply from Chen Fei—ambition beyond Earth Martial City!?

It’s worth noting, even he, Muf Leiyun, currently holding a position in the Floating Immortal Pavilion’s Ghost Wolf City branch division, was not insignificant! Occupying the role of branch steward.

Such a position numbers no more than thirty in the branch.

But even so, he still occasionally dreams of being promoted to the Floating Immortal Pavilion’s Earth Martial City headquarters! Or even becoming a disciple under the Supreme Elders…

Such aspiration could make him wake up smiling from his dreams!

However, he also knows it’s merely a far-fetched desire.

But here comes Chen Fei, claiming his ambition isn’t here—that’s totally disregarding what he’s worked so hard to long for!

Where exactly is his ambition then? Wait, could it be...

Muf Leiyun’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He looked up at Chen Fei.

”Do you intend to go to the Inner Region?” Muf Leiyun’s tone was tinged with absurdity! Such a place is unimaginable for them Outer Domain bumpkins.

Even in the Floating Immortal Pavilion’s Earth Martial City headquarters, the Core Disciples would still be insignificant there, wouldn’t they?

This kid, he—does he really have ambitions that high? Muf Leiyun wondered as he watched Chen Fei.

But Chen Fei simply chuckled without replying. Smiling silently.

Because honestly, the Inner Region alone doesn’t seem like a big deal.

”Haha, ambition beyond Earth Martial City indeed. Putting jokes aside, your self-awareness is commendable, hmm?” But just then, a slightly teasing and derisive voice arose, revealing a demeanor of arrogance and disdain.

Meanwhile, distant scenery remained alluring, and an ethereal blue lake, as a figure rode a magic artifact and approached from afar. The figure appeared to be a man of about thirty years.

Of course, this age is considered young in the cultivation world.

Chen Fei’s lips twitched, his eyes squinting slightly.

”Young Master Tuoba?” Muf Leiyun, hearing this and seeing who arrived, immediately had a change in expression.

Because the arrival’s identity was quite significant.
