In the cultivation world, such examples are not uncommon.
For instance, those Golden Core Stage independent cultivators without any background seek better closed-door meditation conditions to increase the success rate of advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Generally, they either seek the support of some powerful forces and offer enough resources and treasures, or make significant promises or conditions to receive strong backing from such forces.
At the very least, they need a closed-door meditation place with a high concentration of spiritual energy and relative safety.
To achieve this, loose cultivators end up expending many resources and owing many favors to achieve a mutually beneficial relationship with those forces.
Otherwise, these loose cultivators wouldn't easily trust others, let alone cooperate with powerful forces.
