Chapter 1636: Chapter 0964: Just State Whatever Conditions You Have_2 Chapter 1636: Chapter 0964: Just State Whatever Conditions You Have_2 Gao Yuqiu spoke while waving her hand towards the empty space beside her, and then Xiu Zhengyu appeared out of thin air, lying on the ground. It was clear that Gao Yuqiu must have had some sort of storage treasure capable of carrying living creatures.

Qi Tian glanced at Xiu Zhengyu’s condition and found it to be quite dire. At this point, all of Xiu Zhengyu’s exposed skin was swollen, and the color of the skin was pitch black. His nails were even turning purple, and he no longer looked human.

Gao Yuqiu said, “Seeing Sir Zhengyu like this pains my heart, yet I hate that my abilities are limited and I cannot heal him. Qi Tian, I know you have your differences with him, but after all, we are all members of the same team. If you truly have a way to save him, please lend a hand.”

After a moment of contemplation, Qi Tian nodded. He produced a Detoxification Pill, then poured a bowl of Stone Milk Spirit Juice, handing both to Gao Yuqiu so she could administer them to Xiu Zhengyu.

Gao Yuqiu did not ask about the nature of the items Qi Tian handed her, instead, she administered all the items to Xiu Zhengyu right in front of Qi Tian.

Soon, the blackness on Xiu Zhengyu’s body receded at a speed visible to the naked eye and the swelling subsided as well.

Gao Yuqiu narrowed her eyes, truly not expecting the spirit medicine Qi Tian provided to be so miraculous, more effective than the Detoxification Pills she carried with her. Somewhat sheepishly, she spoke to Qi Tian, “Do you perhaps still have more of the same spirit medicine? I was also poisoned by the queen bee, and there’s still some left in my system.”

Qi Tian had already noticed, and he poured another bowl of Stone Milk Spirit Juice, handing it to Gao Yuqiu, “Drink this, and you should be fine.”

Gao Yuqiu drank the Stone Milk Spirit Juice immediately. As the juice touched her tongue, she widened her eyes in surprise. Being someone who knew her stuff, she immediately recognized the miraculous nature of the Stone Milk Spirit Juice.

She was aware of Qi Tian’s formidable strength, but she had not expected him to have such an abundance of treasures, continually surpassing her expectations.

After Gao Yuqiu finished drinking the Stone Milk Spirit Juice, Qi Tian poured another bowl and said to her, “Distribute this bowl of Stone Milk Spirit Juice to everyone. Each person only needs a little to neutralize the bee poison in their system. With the poisoning no longer an issue, they can recover from their wounds sooner, and we can speed up our journey.”

Without another word, Gao Yuqiu followed Qi Tian’s instructions and distributed the Stone Milk Spirit Juice to everyone, allowing them to drink and rid themselves of the residual poison.

After the team members were rid of the residual poison, the way they looked at Qi Tian changed. When their small team had just been formed, they all knew that Gao Yuqiu and her Sect held Qi Tian in high regard, but they were not convinced and didn’t think Qi Tian possessed such strength. But now, they realized how naive they had been. Qi Tian had proven himself powerful enough to severely injure seven or eight people of the same cultivation level single-handedly and had generously rid them of the residual poison without bearing any grudge. His strength and broad-mindedness far exceeded theirs, and if they continued to be shortsighted, causing trouble, mocking, or alienating Qi Tian, it would truly be a death wish.

Gao Yuqiu sighed. She had been trying to prevent Qi Tian from expanding his influence within the team, but as calculations of men cannot match those of heaven, within no time, Qi Tian had established a formidable reputation in everyone’s minds. From now on, it seemed likely that Qi Tian would have influence far greater than hers in the team, and if her views clashed with his, chances are all team members would unhesitatingly stand with Qi Tian.

She did not wish to see this turn of events, but some things were beyond her control. Since it had happened and she had no power to change it, there was only one option—accept reality.

Gao Yuqiu said, “Everyone is grateful to you, and they are willing to follow your lead. Qi Tian, why don’t I pass on the position of team leader to you? You be the team leader; everyone will be convinced.”

Qi Tian waved his hand dismissively and said, “No, I’d rather continue being a Vanguard Officer.”

Gao Yuqiu was both relieved and somewhat disappointed. She was relieved that Qi Tian wouldn’t compete with her for power and influence in the team, allowing her to save face. But she was disappointed as she realized that Qi Tian was not of the same mind as her. When a day came that Qi Tian no longer needed to obtain information about opportunities from her, it would likely be the time when Qi Tian left. By then, she feared that no one would have the power to stop Qi Tian from leaving.

Gao Yuqiu couldn’t help feeling melancholic. She remembered what her Master had told her. Her Cat Ear City wanted to make significant gains in this Holy Land tournament, and according to the plans they had laid out in advance, Qi Tian was a crucial part of it. If Qi Tian left before the plan was implemented, the likelihood of its success would be greatly diminished, perhaps even impossible. If such was the case, she didn’t know how she would be able to explain it to her Master after the tournament was over.

Now, there was no other choice but to take one step at a time.

A moment later, Xiu Zhengyu slowly regained consciousness. The first words he said after opening his eyes were, “Fairy Yuqiu, are you safe? Did the Bee King harm you?”

Qi Tian shook his head secretly. He knew Xiu Zhengyu wasn’t just waking up now; he had been awake for some time but had pretended to be unconscious. Now that he was awake, his words were merely an attempt to gain Gao Yuqiu’s sympathy.

Qi Tian was too lazy to expose Xiu Zhengyu’s thoughts and instead turned and walked away, casually settling down. He took out a chair from his Storage Bag and sat down. Many in the team were injured and would surely need some time to heal, which offered him a good chance to rest.

However, Qi Tian soon found he couldn’t rest after all. As soon as he sat down, the other team members flocked to him, eagerly speaking with him one after another. Their words were filled with friendliness and flattery toward Qi Tian, whose consistent performances had left a profound impact on them, an impact that had now surpassed the influence that Sister Gao Yuqiu’s charms had had on them.

The young talents on his team were not particularly outstanding in strength. Making friends with them, or not, was all up to Qi Tian’s mood. However, he did not reject the friendships that came his way and patiently engaged in conversation with them.

The team members had initially been worried that Qi Tian would be difficult to converse with. Their prior reluctance to interact with Qi Tian was an important reason why they hadn’t done so. Discovering that Qi Tian was much more amiable than they had expected, their courage grew gradually, and their attitude slowly changed from one of trying to please to one of lesser fear.

One of the team members plucked up the courage to ask a question that everyone was very interested in.

“Vice-captain, we all saw you chasing after someone to retrieve the Infant Fruit. You must have gotten it back, right? I wonder, what do you plan to do? How do you intend to handle the Infant Fruit? Are you going to use it yourself?”

Qi Tian replied with a faint smile, “The Infant Fruit is indeed in my hands. Why, are you interested in it?”

The inquiring team member, named Xie Dasuo, said, “Which one of us wouldn’t be interested in the Infant Fruit? Vice-captain, I might say something that makes you upset, but if you’re not going to consume the Infant Fruit, could you consider transferring it to me? Of course, I wouldn’t just ask for it without offering something in return. Whatever your conditions are, just name them, and I will agree.”

Qi Tian laughed and said, “Really? You’ll agree to any conditions? What if I asked you to serve me loyally as a follower, would you agree?”

Xie Dasuo truly hadn’t expected Qi Tian to make such a demand; he thought Qi Tian would ask for a large number of spirit stones or valuable natural treasures.
