After Li Yuqi had finished speaking, Lu Songsheng muttered to himself, “Since the Fire Cloud Secret Realm Battle ended three years ago, Qi Tian has been hiding in the National Master Manor and has never appeared in public. For such an extended period, the only possibility is that Qi Tian has been in closed-door cultivation. Now he has suddenly come to our Wanjie Commerce. What do you think his reason for doing this could be?”

Li Yuqi hurriedly said, “I really can’t guess, please enlighten me, Vice President.”

Lu Songsheng smiled slightly and said, “Do you think it’s possible that he’s hit a bottleneck in his cultivation and has come here looking for an opportunity?”

Li Yuqi said, “Although the overall strength of their National Master Manor is one notch lower than ours, it seems unlikely they lack opportunities for a Gold Core Realm cultivator like him, right?”

Lu Songsheng said meaningfully, “But what if their National Master Manor cannot provide Qi Tian with opportunities? I’m afraid Qi Tian has encountered insurmountable difficulties, and their National Master Manor can’t help him.”

Li Yuqi was no fool, and his face showed shock. “Vice President, that can’t be possible, can it? Qi Tian is still young, at most in his early twenties. How could he encounter an insurmountable difficulty at this age? It’s not as if he’s reached the peak of the Gold Core Realm and is trying to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, right? Could he be such a prodigious talent?”

Lu Songsheng said, “Why couldn’t he be? Three years ago, he had combat power comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage. Otherwise, how could the National Master Manor have sent him to the Fiery Cloud Secret Realm as a scapegoat? Three years have passed since then, and it’s not impossible for Qi Tian to cultivate to the point of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage. If our speculation turns out to be true, he would indeed be a formidable figure not to be underestimated. Which private room is he in? I’ll personally go and meet him.”

Li Yuqi promptly led the way and took Lu Songsheng to the private room where Qi Tian was located.

Seeing Qi Tian, Lu Songsheng put on a big smile. After looking at Qi Tian for a moment, he instantly saw through Qi Tian’s cultivation level, which indeed, as he suspected, was at the peak of the Gold Core Realm.

Although he had confidently analyzed to Li Yuqi that Qi Tian might have cultivated to this level, when he actually saw this fact for himself, he was still quite shocked. When he himself had reached the peak of the Gold Core Realm, he had nearly been seventy years old, and even then, he was praised by countless people as a genius. By comparison, Qi Tian, judging by his looks, was just over twenty years old. This was far beyond what the word ‘genius’ could describe. Suddenly, his mind was filled with rumors he had heard in the past. When he first heard those rumors, he didn’t believe them, but now, seeing Qi Tian, Lu Songsheng suddenly realized that those rumors might not have been unfounded and could very well be true.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through Lu Songsheng’s mind, but on the surface, he had already taken the initiative to speak with a smile, “It’s been three years since we last met, Qi Tian has grown even more impressive than before.”

Qi Tian got up, also with a broad smile on his face. He had a rather good impression of Lu Songsheng. “Vice President, I didn’t expect that coming here to buy some things would cause such a stir. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.”

Lu Songsheng sat down beside Qi Tian and said with a smile, “We are old friends after all. We can speak frankly, there’s no need to hide anything.”

Qi Tian said, “Vice President, since you’ve said so, then I’ll get straight to the point. I want to acquire some resources that can help me break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Does Wanjie Commerce have any in stock?”

Lu Songsheng hadn’t expected Qi Tian to be so direct; he thought Qi Tian would beat around the bush and skirt around the issue before ultimately explaining his intention. But Qi Tian had no such reservations and had laid his cards on the table right from the start. He nodded and said, “Had I not seen it with my own eyes, I would have never believed that at your age, you would even need to consider breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage. When I first contemplated this, I was already in my fifties or sixties, and by the time I actually made the breakthrough, I was nearly a hundred.”

Qi Tian gave a faint smile without saying anything.

Lu Songsheng looked at Qi Tian with penetrating eyes and said, “Breaking through from the Gold Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage has never been an easy task, especially in our realm where the Nascent Soul Stage is the ceiling. If a person can cultivate to this level, they can indeed be called the ruler of a region, establish a clan or found a sect without any issue, even if they have no obligations and want to be a lone wolf. No matter where they go, they will be respected and revered. It’s precisely because of this that the process of breaking through is especially important and is almost every sect and family’s closely guarded secret, shared only within the direct lineage and closest kin. Wanjie Commerce indeed collects such opportunities, but each one comes at a significant cost, and we cannot guarantee their authenticity. Qi Tian, are you sure you need such an opportunity?”

Qi Tian frowned slightly. Although he could not say he was penniless, his resources were indeed constrained. Three years of closed-door cultivation had nearly drained all his cultivation resources. The remainder included some natural treasures, healing pills, etc., many of which were precious collections from other Nascent Soul Masters, and Qi Tian was not inclined to trade them lightly for cultivation resources. Apart from these, he really didn’t have much to offer in exchange for the opportunity.

Seeing Qi Tian’s expression, Lu Songsheng knew roughly his situation and said, “Besides the opportunities for sale to the public, Wanjie Commerce knows of a particularly suitable opportunity for someone in your situation.”

Qi Tian eagerly asked, “What kind of opportunity? Tell me about it.”

Lu Songsheng said, “This opportunity is no small matter, and is not something I can decide on my own. How about this: I’ll inform our guild president now, and you notify the Mansion Master of your National Master Manor. I’ll also invite a few others over, and we can all meet to discuss this matter.”

Qi Tian hadn’t anticipated that it would involve so many Nascent Soul Masters and quickly asked, “What exactly is this opportunity? Inviting so many people over, won’t that make it public knowledge? That doesn’t seem very beneficial to me, does it?”

Lu Songsheng laughed and said, “Qi, you’ve got it wrong. This matter must become widely known, or at least to a certain number of Nascent Soul Masters. If this really comes to fruition, it will be a great event, not only for you but also for your National Master Manor and for the entirety of Wanjie City. It might even bring more benefits than our victory over Sui’an City and the monopoly of the Fiery Cloud Secret Realm.”
