While there were people who would kill, no one was willing to do business at a loss. After many predecessors’ attempts, the people of Haishan City had gained experience. No major cultivator force tried to control the entire Haishan anymore. Instead, they simply opened it up to everyone. Anyone could enter Haishan to mine; they just needed to set up a purchasing point in Haishan City. Issuing permits to those who entered Haishan and buying the ores they mined was enough to acquire the ores and various cultivation resources they desired.

This approach brought tremendous business opportunities to Haishan City, and many people became rich because of it. Moreover, the bounty from the ocean had made Haishan City one of the wealthiest cities in this realm.

With wealth came the desire to remain wealthy. The affluent residents of Haishan City would often spare no expense to ensure they could maintain their status, throwing countless spirit stones to set their children on the path of cultivation. No price was too great for this cause.

This practice, naturally, led to numerous business opportunities. Many cultivators lacking resources were willing to try their luck in Haishan City. This group even included Nascent Soul Masters. Some would openly set up schools in Haishan City, casually picking some business tycoons’ children as disciples. Then these wealthy families would continuously offer resources with both hands, hoping to please the Nascent Soul Masters and dreaming that their children might one day become mighty Nascent Soul Masters themselves.

Seeing the opportunities in Haishan City, Qi Tian realized it. Setting up a school in Haishan City to accept disciples wasn’t feasible; he lacked the time and inclination. However, he could engage in another activity which, if done well, could bring him substantial wealth.

Sui’an City was far away from Haishan City. Qi Tian, riding his flying sword at the greatest speed, hurried along but still took four to five days to arrive a thousand miles away from Haishan City. There, he stopped. Along the way, he had made up his mind that he didn’t have much time to waste waiting. In other words, he needed to establish his reputation in Haishan City as quickly as possible for people to come to him. If he were to take a typical approach, building a reputation in Haishan City would take too long.

Qi Tian decided to take the simplest and most forceful approach to make others recognize his prowess immediately, sure he could accomplish what others could not. The method was simple; he could surround himself with beings possessing the battle power of the Nascent Soul Stage. That would be enough. However, he had not brought any Immortal Slaves this time; he had come alone. His available Nascent Soul Stage prowess were either crystal sand or ghost faces, neither of which he could display openly. The former might not be recognizable by anyone, and the latter, too frightening, could easily be mistaken for an evil cultivator, making both unsuitable.

The only one he could present was Huo Yunbiao. A being at the high tier of the Second Level of the Nascent Soul Stage, Huo Yunbiao counted among the top combat forces in this realm. While there were beings stronger than Huo Yunbiao, they were few and far between, typically the ballasts of super sects, rarely showing themselves publicly. If Qi Tian kept Huo Yunbiao by his side, others, regardless of their thoughts upon seeing him, would definitely consider him extremely formidable and extraordinary, sure to have exceptional capabilities. This way, when Qi Tian made declarations or plans for certain actions, they would gain greater credibility and make it easier for him to initiate his money-making plans earlier.

Qi Tian landed on the ground and used a cleansing spell to sweep the dust from his body. He changed his clothes and used spells to alter his appearance; then with a wave of his hand, he released Huo Yunbiao from the Spirit Beast Bracelet.

After coming out of the Spirit Beast Bracelet, Huo Yunbiao affectionately nudged his big head against Qi Tian. At the same time, he communicated his hopes to Qi Tian through Divine Sense, wishing his master would pity him and not always leave him confined within the Spirit Beast Bracelet, as it was extremely confining inside.

Qi Tian smiled and patted Huo Yunbiao’s head, saying, “Since you don’t like staying in the Spirit Beast Bracelet, I’ll give you a chance. I’ll take you to Haishan City for a tour. Perform well, and perhaps, I’ll let you come out more often.”

Huo Yunbiao nodded repeatedly. Looking at his expressions and movements, no one could guess that this was a fearsome beast capable of effortlessly killing a Nascent Soul Master.

Qi Tian continued, “The task I’m taking you to handle isn’t very suitable for others to know our true identities. Can you alter your appearance so people won’t recognize you and me later?”

Being a Nascent Soul Stage mythical beast with some knowledge of transformation skills, Huo Yunbiao immediately complied when Qi Tian made the request. His body shook slightly, and very apparent changes began to appear. Primarily in three aspects: first, his very noticeable wings rapidly shrank until they were smaller than a baby’s palm, hidden in the fur close to his body, hardly visible even upon close inspection. Second, the color of his fur changed mainly from bright red to predominantly orange-yellow. Third, his body size decreased significantly; where he once resembled a small house, larger than an elephant, he was now only slightly bigger than a common tiger.
