When faced with Qi Tian’s questions, Luo Xia didn’t know how to respond. He too felt that Qi Tian had been treated unfairly, but what use was his opinion? Could he forcibly take the recognitions and rewards that the Emperor and court had not approved for Qi Tian?

Luo Xia could only sigh, trying to soothe and explain: “Qi Tian, Emperor Tian Rui has grown old and no longer possesses the wisdom of his youth. In recent years, our Imperial Master Mansion has been heavily suppressed, for which Emperor Rui’s consent played a big part. Compared to this, your injustice is trivial.”

Qi Tian snorted coldly. Compared to the fruits of his recent venture, even if Emperor Tian Rui bestowed him rewards according to standard procedures, he would not care. Even if they did grant him rewards, he would refuse. However, his refusal would be his own business. The court’s attitude was a different matter altogether.

“To forge iron, one must be strong. If this had happened to Chen Wenbo or others, no one would dare to withhold their recognition,” Qi Tian coldly stated.

“That’s right. Not only is Chen Wenbo Wu Tie’s paramount disciple, but he himself is also at half-step Golden Core stage, reckoned as the one with the most potential to breakthrough to the Gold Core Stage in the Guardian National Master Manor. Unless the court goes mad, they would never withhold his recognition,” Luo Xia said, “Qi Tian, don’t envy Chen Wenbo. You are still young. With your cultivation speed, you might soon reach half-step Golden Core stage. By then, you’ll enjoy the same treatment as Chen Wenbo, or perhaps even better.”

Qi Tian shook his head, “Let’s not discuss such troublesome matters. Lord Luo, here’s a small gift I prepared for you, please accept it.”

As he spoke, Qi Tian took out a bag from his storage bag and handed it to Luo Xia. The bag was a common sack that could hold about fifty pounds of flour. Qi Tian filled it with spirit food, spirit fruit, and spiritual wine.

Luo Xia was elated. He hadn’t eaten to his satisfaction at the banquet just now. Seeing the gift Qi Tian brought him, he gladly accepted.

After leaving Luo Xia, Qi Tian went on to visit Xiao Ge and Hao Wenxi, giving them each a bag of spirit food just like he did with Luo Xia. Xiao Ge and Hao Wenxi were also extremely delighted.

After visiting the Elders and the mansion master, Qi Tian returned to his residence. He had Hu Niu guard outside while he set up a defensive array inside the house. Once the defensive array was activated, a defensive barrier rose up, and then Qi Tian meditated inside it.

It had been a long time since Qi Tian had the chance to cultivate in peace. Previously, he was either lacking cultivation resources or the environment wasn’t safe for focused cultivation. Now that he was back in the Cultivation World of Great Zhao and was protected by Xiao Ge, Luo Xia, and Hao Wenxi, all at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and Hu Niu, it was safe enough for him to cultivate.

Qi Tian took out a large number of spirit stones and started cultivating. Recently, although he hadn’t been able to fully concentrate on cultivation, he had spent a lot of time sorting through various cultivation methods he had collected. He had killed about two to three hundred cultivators at half-step Golden Core. Aside from that, Qi Tian also collected some cultivation methods from other sources. After comparisons, he chose from them: Three Essence True Scripture. This method perfectly slotted with his Black Jade Skills and had high cultivation limits and effectiveness.

This method, when mastered, allows one to combine magic, bodily strength, and mental power into one to attack the enemy, which is very powerful.

It just so happened that Qi Tian had been practicing Tiger Golden Body Skills in physical cultivation. His mental powers, although not under any particular method of practice, had never ceased to be exercised due to various reasons. As such, the Three Essence True Scripture, albeit not the most potent of what he’d acquired, was the most suitable for his current cultivation. Moreover, due to the practice of three types of power simultaneously, the ultimate result of his cultivation was better than the most potent method he had collected.

Recently, Qi Tian had been mulling over the Three Essence True Scripture. He wanted to convert all the results he had achieved through Black Jade Skills completely into Three Essence True Scripture today. This way, he could continue to cultivate according to the Three Essence True Scripture. According to it, he wouldn’t need to worry about practicing any other particular cultivation method until he surpasses the Nascent Soul Stage.

Following the methods of the Three Essence True Scripture, Qi Tian began his conversion. At first, he was very cautious, fearing making errors. However, the conversion process was much easier and faster than he had imagined. Mainly, it was because he had laid a firm foundation during his Qi Cultivation Period. He had forty perfectly unblocked meridians, much higher than the minimum requirement of twenty-five put forth by the Three Essence True Scripture, at least twenty of which need to be perfectly unblocked. This was like the difference between driving the same number of cars on a forty-lane road versus a twenty-five-lane road, the prior undoubtedly provided a more relaxed and pleasant experience.

The Three Essence True Scripture was undoubtedly superior to Black Jade Skills. After Qi Tian converted all his True Essence into it and started Operating as it dictated, he discovered that his cultivation state didn’t enhance but downgraded. It fell significantly, dropping from its initial seventh stage of Foundation Establishment to its fourth, a total decrease of three sub-stages.
