Chapter 517: Chapter 0353 (New Book Cultivation and Wealth Seeks Collection)_2 Chapter 517: Chapter 0353 (New Book Cultivation and Wealth Seeks Collection)_2 Qi Tian extended a finger, saying, “For others, it might be difficult, but I happen to have an opportunity.”

“What opportunity?” Luo Xia looked at Qi Tian eagerly.

Qi Tian said, “Three-Turns Heaven Earth Pill, have you heard of it?”

Luo Xia nodded quickly, “Of course, I have heard of it. It is one of the essential pills for breaking through to the Gold Core Stage. With such a Three-Turns Heaven Earth Pill, the probability of advancing to the Gold Core Stage would increase by at least thirty percent.”

Qi Tian nodded, “Indeed, you are correct. The Three-Turns Heaven Earth Pill is just that miraculous. While I am not able to provide a Three-Turns Heaven Earth Pill, I do have a clue about it.”

Luo Xia excitedly grabbed Qi Tian’s arm and asked urgently, “Really?”

Qi Tian nodded, “Of course, it’s true. However, what I know is not where to find the Three-Turns Heaven Earth Pill, but where to find the primary ingredient needed to refine it.”

“Tell me quickly.” Luo Xia said urgently.

Qi Tian replied, “Master, don’t rush, let me finish. If you want to get the clue from me, it’s not difficult, but you would have to ask Wen Jian personally to seek it from me, then I will share the clue.”

“Ah?” Luo Xia never expected Qi Tian to make such a demand. He could understand why Qi Tian would make such a demand after being criticized by Wen Jian last time. However, from Wen Jian’s perspective, this may be a big issue. As the disciple of Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu and the hope for the rise of the Imperial Master Mansion, Wen Jian has a deep-rooted pride. He may seem gentle and elegant, but once it involves his so-called “dignity”, the pride buried deep in his bones would burst forth. And Wen Jian’s so-called “dignity” is perhaps too much. Many trivial matters in the eyes of others are within the scope of Wen Jian’s dignity.

No matter what Wen Jian does or says, he would never easily change it, let alone apologize or admit his faults initially. Once he gets the idea that Qi Tian is forcing him to admit his faults, that would be a big problem.

“Qi Tian, why are you making things difficult for Wen Jian? Look, you can make any request to me, regardless of what it is, I can agree to it.” Luo Xia proposed generously.

“Master, my request is simple, just have Wen Jian come here once. Can’t he even do such a simple thing? And don’t use our friendship to press me into giving you the clue. Master, I do not expect you to be absolutely impartial, but at least you should remain neutral. Can you do that?” Qi Tian said calmly.

After Qi Tian had said those words, Luo Xia knew he couldn’t pretend to be confused anymore. He sighed and said, “Both of you are talented individuals and the pillars of our Imperial Master Mansion’s future. If only you two could get along well, it would be so great. Why push each other? It only ruins the atmosphere.”

Qi Tian responded, “Master, it is I who was wronged, isn’t it? I didn’t say anything, just asked Wen Jian to make one trip. Are you treating him like a princess? Do you want him to be as delicate as a rich young lady?”

At a loss, Luo Xia had no other choice but to reply, “Then wait for me, I’ll report this matter to the National Master Manor to see what Great Elder Chen Chen thinks.”

“As you wish.” Qi Tian did not stop him this time, giving Luo Xia considerable freedom.

Luo Xia did not waste time and immediately sent a Message Paper Crane to Great Elder Chen Chen, explaining the whole situation. After waiting for over an hour, a Message Paper Crane flew back. Luo Xia opened it and handed the paper to Qi Tian, saying, “Qi Tian, this is written by Great Elder himself. Have a look.”

When Qi Tian unfolded the note, he found that its content was very simple, comprising of a few sentences. It said that Wen Jian had just made a breakthrough and that his realm was still unstable. Wen Jian needed to stay inside the Imperial Master Mansion for quiet cultivation and should not go out. The Great Elder also stated that if it takes the presence of a heavyweight figure at the County Master Mansion to induce Qi Tian to speak, he is willing to personally come to Lubei County and talk to Qi Tian face to face. If Qi Tian had any other demands, he could voice them.

Looking at the letter, Qi Tian could only smile bitterly and said: “Mansion Master, you and the Great Elder protect Wen Jian too well. How can you expect a person like him to take over the family business and guard and inherit the foundation of the Imperial Master Mansion?”

Luo Xia replied: “That is not your concern. What do you think of the Great Elder’s proposal?”

Qi Tian immediately shook his head and said: “I still stand by my statement, let Wen Jian come in person. Otherwise, it would be pointless whoever else comes to visit. I mean it.”

Luo Xia did not expect Qi Tian to be so determined. Seeing that it was impossible to persuade Qi Tian to back down, he once again used the message paper crane and delivered Qi Tian’s stance.

This time, the Imperial Master Mansion’s response was particularly long-delayed. Not until nightfall did Qi Tian receive a reply from the Imperial Master Mansion that had only three words – I am coming.

The handwriting was very beautiful and chiseled.

There was no need to guess. It was known that it was written by Wen Jian.

Qi Tian smiled and sat under the pear tree with Luo Xia, waiting for the arrival of Wen Jian’s party.

Wen Jian’s party was swift in their journey, and arrived outside the Lubei County Master Mansion before dawn the next day.

Wen Jian did not come alone; there were seven or eight other people with him, including the Great Elder Chen Chen, the Elder Xiao Ge, and the Master of the Peacock Hall, Hao Wenxi, all of whom were top-notch forces of the Imperial Master Mansion. Their departure from the Mansion resulted in the loss of at least half of the Imperial Master Mansion’s top combat powers. Yet, knowing the risk, they accompanied Wen Jian without hesitation. It seemed that in their eyes, the safety of Wen Jian was even more critical than that of the Imperial Master Mansion.

Standing outside the boundaries of the Four Symbols Array, Wen Jian appeared calm. However, if one paid close attention to his eyes, they could see a lot of dissatisfaction in his gaze. He was the designated successor of the Imperial Master Mansion, and if the Mansion was compared to a kingdom, he was its Crown Prince. Yet, Qi Tian demanded the Crown Prince to leave the palace, to stoop so low and come to this broken place – the Lubei County Master Mansion. This was not only a show of force but also a humiliation to him as the Crown Prince.

Wen Jian vowed that if given the chance, he would return this humiliation manifold.

Qi Tian, together with Luo Xia and the rest of the staff from the County Master Mansion, went to the entrance to welcome the Great Elder and others. Qi Tian greeted the Great Elder and his party with exceptional courtesy, having treated him well. However, for Wen Jian, Qi Tian simply nodded his head as a form of greeting.

The more Qi Tian acted this way, the more discontent filled Wen Jian’s heart. If he had successfully progressed to the Gold Core stage, perhaps he would’ve been a bit more at ease and would’ve possessed greater tolerance for Qi Tian’s potential affronts. But he failed, which made him perceive everyone’s look as if they were mocking or playing around with him. Especially the gaze that Qi Tian had upon him, his patience was ever so deteriorating.

Before the Great Elder and Qi Tian even finished their pleasantries, Wen Jian hastily said: “Qi Tian, you really gave yourself quite an honor. On your account, we travelled all the way from the National Master Manor. To the uninformed, they might even mistake this place as the real Imperial Master Mansion.”

The faces of the Great Elder Chen Chen and others changed. The situation they feared the most had occurred. They had repeatedly urged Wen Jian along the way. Wen Jian promised to behave himself. Yet, once he got here, he failed to control himself.
