Qi Tian had exhausted all of the low grade spirit stones he possessed. To make up the numbers, he even took out some of the elixirs from his body and used them as currency, buying Explosive Thunder Talismans. At the moment, the single-use, powerful talisman was providing him the most assistance. As for other things like weapons and armor, he was not in a hurry to obtain. After killing so many at the Half-Step Golden Core stage, he could put together a set of somewhat decent equipment.

Qi Tian had just finished purchasing the Explosive Thunder Talismans when a sailing ship flew over and stopped beside the square. This was the transport to send exploration teams to the secret boundary. Each person had to pay five low grade spirit stones to be used as round trip expenses. From this alone, Wanjie Commerce could make a small profit.

Qi Tian boarded the flying ship and found a place on the deck to meditate. There were many cultivators like him, and soon, the deck was full of people. In fact, there were cabins on the ship, but if you wanted to stay in these rooms, you would have to pay an extra fee. Most of the cultivators participating in the exploration team were the impoverished, naturally not willing to waste money.

A flying ship could accommodate one thousand eight hundred people. After reaching its capacity, it took off directly, flying towards the secret boundary.

The secret boundary is located far from Wanjie City. The flying ship flew directly over Wanjie City, heading in the true north direction. Even though Qi Tian had entered and exited Wanjie City multiple times, this was his first time observing Wanjie City carefully from a high altitude. Only at this time could he deeply feel the grandeur of Wanjie City. This mega city, if placed in the previous life, was something Qi Tian could never imagine. But here, it was a very common occurrence, with countless cultivators living here, struggling for their own future.

Just as Qi Tian was feeling deep astonishment, a team of cultivators walked towards his direction. When these people came, many cultivators evaded them. Even when looking at these people, the gaze they held was filled with unmasked fear.

At first, Qi Tian didn’t pay attention to these people. With nearly two thousand cultivators on a flying ship, the image feedback from the Heavenly Dao Engine was filled with light spots, and he could not identify who each spot represented or distinguish the goodness of each light spot. He could only stop looking at those light spots; he didn’t anticipate these people were coming to find him.

“Mr. Liu, it’s him.” One of the cultivators pointed at Qi Tian and said when they arrived in front of him.

The leading cultivator was not very old, in his early twenties, handsome and elegant, dressed like a refined nobleman, even carrying a seemingly cultured fan. But those who recognized Mr. Liu knew that this folding fan was a deadly Spirit Treasure, its rank reaching the low-grade heavenly level. Among Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, this Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Fan was quite famous. Mr. Liu Sichao once wielded this fan against his enemies, surrounded by opponents. With one against five, not only did he walk away unscathed, but he also killed two of the opponents. Since then, Liu Sichao’s fame spread through Wanjie City.

Liu Sichao sized Qi Tian up and down, saying, “Kid, I haven’t seen you before. Where are you from? Not local to Wanjie City, right?”

Qi Tian rose to his feet, answering, “My background is none of your business.”

“Kid, who do you think you’re talking to? You do know who Mr. Liu is, right? The Liu family from the North City Le Xiu Quarters, he is the direct descendant of the Liu family. Despite his young age, he has already established his foundation. He’s now just twenty-six and he’s already at the Half-Step Golden Core stage. Now, Mr. Liu is showing appreciation for you, deeming you worthy of a glimpse. When Mr. Liu successfully forms the golden core, you won’t find any way to talk to him.” A cultivator next to Liu Sichao arrogantly threatened Qi Tian.

Qi Tian replied nonchalantly, “Mr. Liu is your Mr. Liu, not mine. If you guys want to kiss his ass, that’s your business, not mine. Please leave; don’t disturb my meditation.”

“Kid, what did you just say?” The ass-kissing cultivator became enraged, reaching out to grab Qi Tian.

At this moment, Liu Sichao extended his hand, and with the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Fan, blocked the cultivator, “Stop.”

The cultivator didn’t dare to talk back, hastily retracting his hand.

Liu Sichao looked at Qi Tian again, saying, “Kid, I can see that you’re not very old, and you’ve already cultivated to the seventh stage of Foundation Establishment, it’s not easy. I intend to elevate you, you should follow me in the future. After getting to the secret boundary, stay close and follow our movements, obeying my orders. I will ensure your safety. When we exit the secret boundary, you just have to give me half of the spirit stones you carry; I’m reasonable and enjoy assisting those younger than me. Of course, if you decide to follow me after leaving the boundary, I’d welcome you. Specific conditions for joining can be discussed once we exit the boundary, I promise you’ll always have a place in Wanjie City.”

Upon hearing these words, Qi Tian didn’t know how to refute them, so he simply rolled his eyes, retorting, “You think so highly of yourself, does your mom know?”

Liu Sichao had never heard such words before, but he understood it wasn’t a kind sentiment. His smile immediately disappeared, his expression darkening, “Kid, are you sure you want to speak to me in that way? Reject my kindness, and bear the consequences, you need to think carefully.”
