Chapter 285: Chapter 0233: Special Cultivation Resources_2 Chapter 285: Chapter 0233: Special Cultivation Resources_2 The cultivator sized Qi Tian up, his spirit sword in hand. Then he said, “I remember who you are now. During the day, I kept feeling like someone was watching me, I even thought I was sensing it wrong. But, it turns out I was being watched after all. Who are you and why did you bring people into my territory?”

Qi Tian replied nonchalantly, “I am from the Imperial Master Mansion. We are about to block the southward Chi Di people here, so I need to ensure the purity of the people here. Any unidentified people need to be cleared. Please clarify your identity, if you’re innocent, I apologize and will compensate for your losses. But, if there are any suspicions, do not blame me.”

The cultivator’s expression changed, he shook his spirit sword and retorted, “Since you are from the Imperial Master Mansion, none of you can be spared, die all of you!”

The cultivator moved quickly, but he was up against Qi Tian, who activated the galloping skill on his Wuhang Ring, quickly retreating, always maintaining a distance between them.

Seeing the relentless pursuit of the cultivator, Qi Tian smirked. He took out the bottle containing Three Days Drunk, and with a strong swing, let it pervade towards the cultivator.

The cultivator caught a whiff, and he was taken aback. “Three Days Drunk? How did you get it?” He hastily held his breath, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve. Quick as his response was, he had already inhaled a bit. Three Days Drunk was potent; even a small inhalation was enough to significantly slow him down. He started to move as if he was drunk.

Qi Tian did not know the extent or duration of the effects of Three Days Drunk on the cultivator. Not daring to waste time, he withdrew the Red Hoop Stick and charged at the cultivator. He had experimented before, and he knew that he had a resistance to Three Days Drunk. The Heavenly Dao Engine could even use it as fuel. But if he were to be incapacitated by Three Days Drunk, as long as he could take out the cultivator before falling, Zhang Lei would naturally wake him with the antidote.

Qi Tian, aware of the risk of this fight, couldn’t hold back at all. He pushed the Heavenly Dao Engine to its limit, the True Essence Power and physical strength reaching their peak. He swung the Red Hoop Stick and charged.

In a blink of an eye, the Red Hoop Stick collided with the spirit sword of the cultivator. At first, the man barely managed to defend against it. But Qi Tian’s relentless attack left no room for him to breath and soon, he couldn’t hold up anymore. The spirit sword was knocked out of his hand by Qi Tian, and before he could even dodge, the Red Hoop Stick smashed into his head, causing his brains to splatter, and he died a tragic death.

Qi Tian slightly staggered but managed to support himself with the Red Hoop Stick, preventing himself from collapsing. The Three Days Drunk had indeed affected him as he used all his strength to activate the Heavenly Dao Engine for the fight, forgetting to protect himself from the effects of Three Days Drunk.

Zhang Lei saw Qi Tian’s state and knew something was wrong. She rushed over, pulled out the antidote, and placed it under Qi Tian’s nose. The effect was almost instantaneous, and Qi Tian immediately felt refreshed, free of the negative effects of Three Days Drunk.

“Clean up the battlefield,” Qi Tian ordered after regaining his composure.

Just then, rushed footsteps came from outside. Zhang Guangyao looked outside the wall and found that a small team from the nearby border patrol had come to inspect the situation. The noise caused by Qi Tian punching a hole in the wall must have attracted their attention.

Without waiting for Qi Tian’s instructions, Zhang Guangyao came forward to declare his identity. The border patrol, upon learning that they were all cultivators from the Imperial Master Mansion, promptly left. Being wary of meddling in the affairs of cultivators, they cared less about what they were up to as long as they did not threaten the safety of the small town and the border.

By the time Zhang Guangyao returned to the courtyard, Zhang Lei and Pan Yulin were dealing with separate matters. Zhang Lei was trying to treat Jiang Pan, who, upon entering the courtyard, had accidentally triggered a restriction and promptly passed out, alerting the cultivator. If it weren’t for Qi Tian’s timely intervention, Jiang Pan would have already been dead.

Meanwhile, Pan Yulin was clearing up the remains of the cultivator killed by Qi Tian, hoping to find any valuable treasures on his body. A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn’t be short of good items.

Qi Tian, on the other hand, was exploring the small courtyard, hoping to find some hidden treasures. Unfortunately, except for a few restrictions set up to prevent intruders, there was nothing valuable. Even if there were, they were merely items used by the dead cultivator to trick people; they held no value for Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

Just then, Pan Yulin let out a startled cry. “Oh, my.”

“Pan, what’s the matter?” Zhang Guangyao, who just walked in, heard Pan Yulin’s exclaimation and quickly asked.

“You guys hurry over and see.” Pan Yulin called out, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.

Zhang Guangyao was the first to step forward, and seeing the dead body lying on the ground, his face startled slightly as he expressed, “How is that possible?”

Qi Tian also walked over, shook his head after seeing the change on the ground, and said, “No wonder. This person should be a Chi Di man, judging by his physical traits, there’s no trace of Great Zhao people’s features in him.”

“This man’s technique is indeed impressive. For such a robust man to transform into a skinny one, his height and weight have reduced by more than a third,” Zhang Lei also walked over, noticing the transformation of the body.

“If this is a technique, it’d be a great asset. Pan, you better search carefully and find this technique. Later on, we will each copy a copy,” Zhang Guangyao shouted.

Pan Yulin looked towards Qi Tian. Such a technique was certainly not simple; he had to see if Qi Tian would agree to let everyone copy it. If he disagreed, he would only have to apologize to Zhang Guangyao.

Zhang Guangyao and Zhang Lei both shifted their gaze towards Qi Tian, waiting for his response.

At this time, if Qi Tian didn’t agree, Zhang Guangyao and Zhang Lei wouldn’t know what to say. As with last time, the majority of the credit for resolving the fight cleanly and neatly should be attributed to Qi Tian. How to distribute the war spoils naturally was dependant on Qi Tian’s arrangements.

Qi Tian laughed and said, “No problem. If there is a technique, everyone can copy a copy.”

“Long live the leader!” Zhang Lei, Zhang Guangyao and Pan Yulin all cheered. Even Jiang Pan who was lying on the ground just now, just woke up by Zhang Lei, hummed a few times.

After Pan Yulin scavenged everything from the dead Chi Di cultivator, he asked Qi Tian, “Leader, how should we handle this body, should we burn it?”

“Leave it to me.” With a wave of his hand, he took the corpse away. Zhang Lei and others didn’t ask what Qi Tian needed the body for, and they left the courtyard with Qi Tian.

When they got to the main gate, Qi Tian looked back and noticed that it wasn’t a regular door, but a type of rare stone. The former main door of the house was a normal wooden door which had been removed and set aside.

Knowing that this kind of stone was rare, Qi Tian naturally wouldn’t let it get away. He instructed Pan Yulin and the others to take down the door and put it away. This object could withstand a full-blown attack from Zhang Guangyao, so it qualifies as a special cultivation resource. Even if he didn’t use it himself, he could keep it for selling later.

After removing the door, there was nothing else of value left. Everyone left together and went straight back to their rented house.
