Wang Xuechang was very clear about what Qi Tian meant, but despite his clarity, he still hoped to haggle with Qi Tian.

Seeing the expression on Wang Xuechang’s face, Qi Tian knew what he wanted to say. With a wave of his hand, he spoke, “Master Wang, this is not the time to talk about friendship. We have no friendship between us. Don’t pretend to be a weakling. This is Haishan City, and you are a Nascent Soul Master. Even if you are poor, how poor can you be? Are you poorer than Mr. Zhang, the owner of this restaurant? You’d better think it through carefully. After you’ve thought it through, report a number to me. You only have one chance. If the price you report does not meet my expectations, I will not listen to your quote a second time.”

Wang Xuechang gasped in shock. He hadn’t expected Qi Tian to be so unyielding, not giving him any face. He wanted to reason with Qi Tian, but glancing at Huo Yunbiao lying at Qi Tian’s feet, he suppressed that thought. After considering for a moment, although somewhat reluctantly, he still held up a finger and said, “I’ll offer ten million top-grade spirit stones. This price should be acceptable, right?”

Qi Tian pondered for a moment, and under Wang Xuechang’s anxious gaze, he finally nodded reluctantly and said, “After all, we have known each other for almost a month, which counts for a bit of acquaintance. Let’s settle on this price.”

Wang Xuechang breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly taking out a storage bag and handing it to Qi Tian, who casually accepted it.

Only then did Wang Xuechang pursue, “Sir, may I know when you can clear my channels? If possible, can it be done now?”

Qi Tian nodded. He did not haggle over this matter with Wang Xuechang. His policy of clearing channels for only three people each day was just a marketing ploy created to earn more cultivation resources.

He asked Wang Xuechang to sit properly. Unlike when clearing channels for others, he didn’t knock Wang Xuechang out because knocking out a Nascent Soul Master was not something easily done. Rather than expend the effort, it was better to have Wang Xuechang stay conscious. Qi Tian said, “Endure it a bit; clearing the channels might be somewhat painful. If you can’t bear it, you can knock yourself out.”

Wang Xuechang chuckled and said, “I can withstand a little pain. Please proceed, Sir.”

Qi Tian smiled and placed his finger on Wang Xuechang’s pulse. With a thought, a Transporting Whirlwind entered Wang Xuechang’s body.

Wang Xuechang felt a piercing pain and quickly probed with his Divine Sense. However, he could only sense something moving through his channels and couldn’t identify what it was, no matter how hard he tried. This made him secretly astonished and more convinced of Qi Tian’s unfathomable depth and extraordinariness.

Under Qi Tian’s command, the Transporting Whirlwind swiftly arrived at the damaged part of Wang Xuechang’s channels. Qi Tian, with his substantial experience, quickly cleared the damaged channels.

During the process, Wang Xuechang experienced unprecedented agony. He really wanted to scream, even contemplated asking Qi Tian to stop, but remembering he was a highly respected Nascent Soul Master, he could not cry out just because of the pain. If word spread, he wouldn’t be able to face anyone. So he clenched his teeth and forcibly endured it.

By the time Qi Tian withdrew the Transporting Whirlwind, Wang Xuechang was drenched in sweat, looking as if he had been through a grueling battle, utterly exhausted and disheveled.

Qi Tian said, “Master Wang, you may now try to circulate your True Essence.”

Wang Xuechang couldn’t believe that Qi Tian had cleared his energy channels in such a short time. Without any hesitation, he immediately began to circulate his cultivation technique and mobilized his True Essence to flow through his energy channels.

Qi Tian let out a slight smile as he took out an Array Disk. It was a disk for the Array of Spirit Gathering, which he placed beside Wang Xuechang and activated. Suddenly, a continuous flow of heaven and earth’s Spirit Qi surged over, and the Spirit Qi in the spirit stones became extremely rich.

Wang Xuechang felt the change in the surrounding heaven and earth’s Spirit Qi, and without pondering further, he drew even more Spirit Qi from his environment and converted it into True Essence, allowing it to flow through all his energy channels.

As he cultivated, more and more Spirit Qi poured into Wang Xuechang’s body. Previously, when he did this, the damaged energy channel would always hold him back and cause him pain, compelling him to stop cultivating. But now, he couldn’t feel even the slightest pain. As he cultivated, he experienced a deeply satisfying sense of liberation that he hadn’t felt in a long time.

This feeling drove him to continue cultivating non-stop, drawing more and more Spirit Qi from the outside world. After an unknown period, Wang Xuechang felt as if a taut string deep within his consciousness suddenly snapped, and the power confining him seemed to lessen.

Wang Xuechang couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. After carefully assessing the feeling, he became ecstatic—he had actually made a breakthrough! He had advanced from the mid-stage to the high-stage of the First Level of the Nascent Soul Stage. Although it was just a small step up, this progress was something that he had been waiting for, for so many years, and it had been realized so quietly today.

Wang Xuechang opened his eyes and leaped up. He gave Qi Tian a deep bow and said, “Many thanks, Sir!”

Qi Tian smiled faintly and responded, “Congratulations on your new breakthrough, Master. Your status in Haishan City will surely rise further. I wish you an early breakthrough to the Second Level of the Nascent Soul Stage and to soon become one of Haishan City’s most influential figures.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuechang burst into hearty laughter, something he hadn’t done in many years.

Qi Tian continued, “Now, Master doesn’t feel that ten million top-grade spirit stones are too much of a loss, right?”

Wang Xuechang waved his hands repeatedly, saying, “Not a loss, not a loss at all. If I had known Sir had such miraculous abilities, I would have requested your help on the first day you arrived in Haishan City.”

Qi Tian remarked, “It’s not too late for Master to know now.”

Mr. Wang said, “Right, right, not too late at all. Sir, with my cultivation level reaching a new breakthrough, I wonder if you could grant me the honor of celebrating together with a drink.”

Qi Tian laughed, “No problem, but it would be too dull if it were just the two of us. Why not invite Master Ji, Captain Rong, Mr. Zhang, and the others to join us? The more people, the merrier.”

Wang Xuechang naturally had no objections. Qi Tian removed the Protective Array that enveloped the Quiet Room, then sent a message to Rong Guanghui and Ji Liya, inviting them to join the celebration for Wang Xuechang.
