Qi Tian had no idea that just as he left, another elder from Four Seas Bank had come asking for silver. Carrying the collected silver and accompanied by Gao Jinmei, Jin Jin, and Marquis Ma, they made their way back to Wangdu County without trouble.

Just as they set foot into the territory of Wangdu County, Marquis Ma carefully asked for Qi Tian’s advice. “Master, do you think it’s time for me to take the pill? If it’s too late, won’t I lose my arm forever? Of course, if you think having me with one less arm is useful to you, I can stay this way.”

Qi Tian laughed, “You should be alright. However, I suggest not taking the elixir right now. Wait till you reach your home here and have someone prepare a large meal for you, then take it. Regrowing a limb takes a lot of energy, and it won’t work if you don’t prepare properly.”

Marquis Ma replied, “Then, I will go back first.”

Qi Tian said, “How fast can you go on your own? Jin Jin, help him get back.”

“Yes.” Jin Jin grabbed Marquis Ma’s shoulder, bounced on her feet, and boom. They took off into the air towards Wangdu City.

Watching Jin Jin go, Qi Tian looked back in the direction of Red Sand City feeling some unease. After a moment, he said, “Gao Jinmei, you should head back to Wangdu County. I have something to handle and need to leave for a while. Oh, and bring this five million taels of silver. Give it to Marquis Ma once his arm has grown back. Also, protect Prince Zhao’s safety in my absence with Wang Xiuwu’s help, until I return.”

Gao Jinmei did not know what Qi Tian planned to do, nor did she dare to ask. She took the silver given by Qi Tian and left after bowing to Qi Tian.

Qi Tian gazed back towards the direction of Red Sand City, then took out his crane statue. After inserting a top-grade spirit stone, he flew in the northwest direction.

A few hours later, Qi Tian arrived at Baoding Prefecture, on the border of the Bei Rong Kingdom and the Great Zhao Nation. Not too long ago, he had found a teleportation gate leading to Three Gods City inside the County Master Mansion here. Nowadays, along with the house itself, that gate had also been collected by him into his storage bag.

Qi Tian wasn’t here to head to Three Gods City as the time had not come. If he acted rash, the consequences would be unknown. What brought him here was the effective and potent defensive array casting over the County Master Mansion, which he left undamaged the last time he left.

Everyone had left the County Master Mansion now. There had been eight Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators when Qi Tian visited last time. After interrogating each, he stripped them partially of their cultivation level and exiled them, leaving the Mansion empty.

Qi Tian reached the middle of the County Master Mansion. After making sure there was not a soul in the mansion and the defensive barrier was intact, he nodded satisfiedly. He then retrieved the teleportation array disk to Wanjie City.

Qi Tian placed the spirit stone on the teleportation array disk, stepped onto it and activated a spiritual rune. Immediately, a white light enveloped him, and in an instant, Qi Tian disappeared.

A moment later, Qi Tian reappeared in the teleportation plaza of Wanjie City. He had hung the identity jade card of Wanjie City around his waist beforehand. After stepping out of the teleportation array, he released Hu Niu from the Spirit Beast Bracelet with one wave of his hand.

Hu Niu affectionately brushed her fluffy head against Qi Tian’s chest. Qi Tian patted her head, mounted her, and Hu Niu started running.

Wanjie City was vast, but Hu Niu was fast. She brought Qi Tian to his residence in the city in just over an hour.

The residence’s door was locked tightly. After a thorough inspection, Qi Tian realized his small traps set up around the place had not been disturbed, clearly indicating that nobody had trespassed while he was away.

Qi Tian’s residence time in Wanjie City was too short, he was still unfamiliar with the city that was at the same time dangerous and safe. Even though millions of cultivators gathered here, there was a very strict rule. Once a person earned the identity jade card of Wanjie City, they’d get city protection. Transgressing into a private residence was strictly forbidden. Even high-ranking cultivators wouldn’t dare to invade the house of a low-level cultivator. The price was too high, and refusal to pay would lead to severe consequences.

Naturally, if the victim of trespassing was an outsider, Wanjie City would not intervene, which was Huang Liuyan’s warning to Qi Tian when he first arrived.

The residence Qi Tian initially purchased in Wanjie City was not large. With a floor area of just over 120 square meters, it cost Qi Tian 70,000 low-grade spirit stones, a hefty price. However, this amount of money mattered little to Qi Tian now. His current wealth could be described as extremely abundant, and such a house, no matter it’s one, or ten, or a hundred, would not cause any financial pressure. But there was no point in doing so, as he hardly even lived in this one property he had already bought.
