Chapter 527: Chapter 0358: Treated Like a Sworn Enemy (New Book ‘Cultivation and Wealth, Please Add to Your Collection’)_2 Chapter 527: Chapter 0358: Treated Like a Sworn Enemy (New Book ‘Cultivation and Wealth, Please Add to Your Collection’)_2 Luo Xia did not complain, he endured the unbearable pain, mobilized all his strength, cooperating with Qi Tian. His Qi Sea gradually started to rotate, a surging amount of Spirit Qi from the outside world poured into his Qi Sea as though it were free, causing his Qi Sea to expand little by little. Finally, after his Qi Sea had rolled about ten more times, no matter how Qi Tian activated the Heavenly Dao Engine to input into Luo Xia’s body, he could not make Luo Xia’s Qi Sea rotate any further.

“Qi Tian, let’s stop. I know you have done your best.” Luo Xia ceased the operation of his techniques, opened his eyes, and looked at Qi Tian with gratitude.

Qi Tian let out a sigh, and had to withdraw his hand. Luo Xia’s Qi Sea had solidified, and even if he had great skills, he could not reverse it. He pointed to the spirit stones used for the formation, which were still not completely drained of their Spirit Qi, and said, “Master, these are all for you, think of it as compensation.”

“Then I’ll not be polite with you, my rich friend.” Luo Xia waved his hand, collecting all the spirit stones. He patted Qi Tian on the shoulder, saying, “Qi Tian, do not feel any regret, nor believe that you owe us anything. This is the path we chose ourselves, it has nothing to do with you. Moreover, with your help, I can feel that my Qi Sea has grown by at least half as much as when I had just broken through. I’m already very satisfied with this much advancement, and truly grateful to you.”

At this moment, a breakthrough aura emanated from Hao Wenxi. Now that Qi Tian had experienced helping Luo Xia, he wasn’t hesitant the second time. He also walked to Hao Wenxi, placing his palm on her lower abdomen. This was the closest place to the Qi Sea, where it was easiest to exert influence.

Fearing Hao Wenxi might misunderstand Qi Tian, Luo Xia hastily said, “Master Hao, don’t panic, this is just Qi Tian helping you with a final strength increase. He helped me in the same way just now, the effect was quite good. Now it’s your turn to cooperate fully with Qi Tian, do not waste this opportunity. This is our last chance to increase strength.”

Hao Wenxi, not one to waver indecisively, immediately accepted Qi Tian’s goodwill. She relaxed and let Qi Tian transfer the power of the Heavenly Dao Engine into her Qi Sea, helping her push her nearly solidified Qi Sea.

Hao Wenxi’s situation was similar to Luo Xia’s; after Qi Tian helped her with about ten rounds of rotation, Hao Wenxi’s Qi Sea also solidified and could no longer be operational.

Qi Tian withdrew his hand, took a step back, and pointed to the remaining spirit stones in the Array of Spirit Gathering, giving them to Hao Wenxi.

Hao Wenxi picked up the spirit stones, then bowed deeply to Qi Tian, saying, “Qi Tian, I owe you so much, I don’t know how to repay you. I can only thank you like this. In the future, if you have any requests, just let me know, even if I, Hao Wenxi, have to shatter my body, I will help you fulfill them.”

Qi Tian said, “Master Hao, it’s enough to have this heart. You’ve just broken through and have suffered a lot and endured much hardship. Go and have a bath and rest well. Master Luo, you should do the same. Once you both have rested, I have tasks for you two.”

Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi were indeed incredibly exhausted, and without refusal, they said their farewells to Qi Tian and went to rest.

Qi Tian patted his waist bag. Helping Luo Xia and Hao Wenxi with their breakthrough had cost him a lot. He had lost two Pseudo-True Pills, nearly a thousand middle-grade spirit stones, and several thousand low-grade spirit stones. In addition to the fuel consumed by the Heavenly Dao Engine, which equates to approximately two thousand middle-grade spirit stones, he had sustained significant losses. Although these were voluntary, operating at a loss was always a concern. Qi Tian wondered if he should seize an opportunity to make up for his losses.

Qi Tian’s gaze naturally fell on the spiritual stone veins in Lubei County. He planned to call Pan Yulin over to inquire about the situation in detail. Just at this moment, he suddenly sensed something amiss and swiftly unleashed the Heavenly Dao Engine’s Spirit Qi detection mechanism. In the distance, he vaguely sensed a powerful aura rushing towards them. The distance to the County Master’s Mansion was getting closer.

A thought flashed through Qi Tian’s mind, he quickly got up, went outside the mansion, rose into the sky, and looked in the direction of the incoming powerful aura.

Not long after, Qi Tian saw two people flying over, each standing on a flying sword and exuding a powerful aura. Qi Tian couldn’t help but frown, one of them was no weaker than Sun Xiaotian, the former Ape King. The other was a real Gold Core powerhouse. Who was he?

The Gold Core powerhouse stood with his hands behind his back and head up, looking arrogant. He didn’t bother to look at Qi Tian directly.

“Where do you two gentlemen come from? What are your names? May I ask why you have come to my County Master Mansion?” Qi Tian asked, raising his guard.

The Half-step Golden Core guy sneered, “Qi Tian, you are really conceited, you don’t even recognize me.”

“I apologize for my poor recognition. I really don’t know you. Please tell me your name, so that I know who has graced my humble County Master Mansion with their presence.” Qi Tian replied neither arrogantly nor humbly.

The complexion of the Half-step Golden Core guy changed, “Since you have poor eyesight, you might as well lose them. I will dig them out for you.”

With that, the Half-step Golden Core guy charged forward, driving the flying sword under his feet at a shocking speed and rushed towards Qi Tian.

Qi Tian was surprised, this man was very fast. He had encountered many Gold Core powerhouses and seen many of their techniques. However, even compared to some of the Gold Core powerhouses, this Half-step Golden Core man was not slow.

In a blink of an eye, the Half-step Golden Core guy reached in front of Qi Tian. He reached out and grabbed at Qi Tian’s eyes. His attack was ruthless and decisive, treating Qi Tian as a mortal enemy.

Qi Tian didn’t know this guy, but since he wanted to gouge out his eyes, he certainly wouldn’t stand by idly. He snorted, retreated like lightning, and at the same time threw out a punch executing the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist.

In an instant, the Eight Desolate Demon Tiger Fist collided with the Half-step Golden Core guy’s claws. The Half-step Golden Core guy glowed, that was his protective treasure resisting Qi Tian’s punch. Even so, he was pushed back a distance on his flying sword before managing to steady himself.

The complexion of the Half-step Golden Core guy changed, he prided himself as a young talent, and didn’t take Qi Tian seriously. But he didn’t expect to be on the losing end after just one round of exchange.

He was about to press forward and launch more fierce attacks on Qi Tian when the Gold Core powerhouse spoke, “Chen Zexian, don’t be impulsive, you are not Qi Tian’s match. Let’s stick to the plan. I deal with him while you go pick the Bloodline Pear Fruit.”

While speaking, the Gold Core powerhouse locked onto Qi Tian with his Divine Sense. Although Chen Zexian, the Half-step Golden Core was a bit unhappy, he didn’t dare to defy the Gold Core powerhouse’s command. He glared at Qi Tian, then landed on the ground with his flying sword.

At first, Qi Tian didn’t pay much attention. His County Master Mansion was protected by the Four Symbols Array, and he had even reinforced it after taking over. Without his permission, Chen Zexian wouldn’t be able to enter the Four Symbols Array, let alone take the Bloodline Pear Fruit…
