C403 Follower
Although followers had their own status, could retain a portion of their wealth, could choose to do whatever they wanted, but under the premise that they couldn't harm the benefits of being a follower.
To put it bluntly, followers were like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, who were in the Three Kingdoms period before Chu Zhongtian transmigrated. Although the three of them seemed to be sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were actually Liu Bei's subordinates. Everything started with Liu Bei's consciousness.
For example, Zhang Ya'nan and Yue Zhongzong were Dongfang Yongping's followers. They followed Dongfang Yongping's daily life and were responsible for guarding and guarding at night. Dongfang Yongping would be in charge of distributing the rewards from the refining process.
Of course, if Zhang Ya'nan and Yue Zhongzong were in danger, Dongfang Yongping had the obligation to save them.
"Junior Brother Shi, I am just a disciple of the Outer Sect who is at the ninth level of Body Refinement. I am still a distance away from breaking through to the Qi Transforming Period. Isn't it too early and too impulsive for you to choose me as your follower now?"
"Senior Brother Chu, there are three reasons why I made this choice after careful consideration!" Shi Guangliang saw that Chu Zhongtian did not agree to his request, nor did he oppose it directly. He knew that Chu Zhongtian had concerns.
"Firstly, the Sects Competition has fully displayed your astonishing talent, potential, and comprehension ability. Senior brother, it's very easy for you to break through to the Qi Transforming Period. So, the reason why you're so strong isn't to stop me from becoming your follower. "
"Secondly, I know my own abilities too well."
"If I follow my current cultivation and lifestyle, I'm afraid that I won't be able to break through to the Qi Transforming Period in another year or two, let alone break through to the Essence Gathering Stage!"
"Senior Brother Chu, if I can become your follower, then you can give me some guidance and help. I'm sure that it will allow me to quickly improve my cultivation base, and break through to the Qi Transforming Period and Essence Gathering Stage as soon as possible. I might even break through to the Divine Soul Stage in the future. "
"Thirdly, I choose to become your follower, which is different from the followers of others."
"I will swear an oath with my inner demon that I will follow you forever, and I will never betray you. I will be your servant for all eternity!"
Shi Guangliang did not hide his selfishness. This was what made Chu Zhongtian satisfied, but the last thing that satisfied him the most was that Shi Guangliang swore an oath with his inner demon.
After experiencing the experiences in Blood Demon Secret Realm, Chu Zhongtian already knew the power of the inner demon oath. Therefore, the way Shi Guangliang showed his loyalty just now had moved Chu Zhongtian.
Putting aside everything else, just the courtyard that he was staying in now needed someone to take care of it.
In the future, as his cultivation base became higher and higher, he would have more and more friends. There would definitely be many gatherings during his free time, and he would need someone to take care of everything for him.
Initially, Chu Zhongtian wanted to discuss with Jiao Enjun about whether he could get an outstanding disciple from the Chu Family to help him deal with these miscellaneous matters. Now that Shi Guangliang was willing to take the responsibility, it saved him a lot of trouble.
However, although he was tempted, he knew that there were some things that he couldn't go too far with.
Currently, his cultivation base was only at the Ninth Layer Peak of the Body Refining Period. If others knew that he was recruiting followers, they would definitely use this as an excuse to attack him.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Chu Zhongtian finally decided to reject Shi Guangliang's request.
"Junior Brother Shi, I'm very touched that you are willing to become my follower through the Devil Heart Oath. However, my current cultivation base is too low. In order to avoid any unnecessary trouble, I hope that after I break through to the Qi Transforming Period, we can discuss the matter of becoming my follower again. "
"Yes, Senior Brother Chu. I will listen to all of your arrangements!" Shi Guangliang answered excitedly.
Although Chu Zhongtian didn't agree to accept Shi Guangliang as his follower, the meaning in his tone indicated that he had agreed to it. He just put this matter after he broke through to the Qi Transforming Period.
Regarding this, Shi Guangliang understood it very well. At the same time, he praised Shi Guangliang.
"Junior Brother Shi, can you go and see if Junior Sister Zhang and Junior Brother Wang have finished eating? If they have finished eating, invite them in for a chat." Chu Zhongtian sat back in his chair and said casually.
"Okay!" Shi Guangliang bowed and respectfully left.
Seeing Shi Guangliang respectfully leave, Chu Zhongtian could not help but nod his head.
Chu Zhongtian used Shi Guangliang's low cultivation as an excuse, so he could not agree to Shi Guangliang's request to become a follower for the time being. However, he already had the idea of taking Shi Guangliang as his follower, so his casual words just now were specifically used to test Shi Guangliang. He wanted to see if Shi Guangliang was suitable for the position of the follower in his heart.
The test just now and Shi Guangliang's reaction made Chu Zhongtian very satisfied.
After Shi Guangliang left the living room, Chu Zhongtian took out nine bottles of pills and thirty thousand Seventh Grade Middle Rank Spirit Stone pills from his interspatial storage ring finger and storage bag finger.
Not long after Shi Guangliang left, he brought Zhang Qian and Wang Zhongning back to the living room.
"Junior Brother Chu, Junior Sister Zhang and Junior Brother Wang are here!" Shi Guangliang was very used to changing his identity. At this time, he already started to think of him as the butler of Chu Zhongtian's Courtyard Nine.
"Eight, how's the taste of roasted pig?" Chu Zhongtian looked at Wang Zhongning, whose mouth was full of grease, and said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Chu, the roasted pig just now was the most delicious roasted meat I have ever eaten in my life." Wang Zhongning recalled the delicious food just now, and his eyes lit up.
Then, his tone changed, and he said with pity, "What a pity. Half of the roasted pig was taken away by your master, so I am only 70% full now."
Nearly 50 kg of roasted pig only made Wang Zhongning 70% full. Chu Zhongtian was surprised by Wang Zhongning's appetite. He could understand how hard it was for people in Trial Peak to eat simple meals every day.
"In the future, as long as I stay in Hidden Dragon Peak, you can come to me at any time. You can hunt beasts and strange beasts at the back of the mountain as you wish!" Chu Zhongtian said generously.
After that, he looked at Zhang Qian and said gently, "Junior Sister Zhang, I once promised you that after the Sects Competition ends, I will help you increase your strength as much as possible. Now is the time for me to fulfill my promise."
Chu Zhongtian signaled Zhang Qian to come in front of him. He took out three bottles of pills and ten thousand level 7 Intermediate spirit stones from the pills and spirit stones that he had prepared in advance and pushed them in front of her with a smile.
"Junior Sister Zhang, I don't know much about your cultivation technique, and I don't know how you usually cultivate. Therefore, I won't give you any guidance regarding your cultivation."
"Junior Sister Zhang, what I can do now is to give you pills and spirit stones that can increase your cultivation and potential. I hope that you can use these pills and spirit stones to increase your cultivation and potential."
