Even as Liang Yuqi came out from the entrance with her entourage, Qi Tian hadn’t come up with a good plan. Firstly, he couldn’t afford to fall out with Wanjie Commerce. Secondly, with Liang Yuqi, the Gold Core Elder, and Wan Xiaolan – three Gold Core Realm strong cultivators present, he alone wouldn’t be able to make a scene against them. He wasn’t worried about Wan Xiaolan and injured Liang Yuqi, but the Gold Core Elder, who was at odds with Liang Yuqi, was at the sixth level of the Gold Core Realm, which he definitely couldn’t provoke as of now.

The only thing Qi Tian could do was go with the flow, hoping to find a chance to get justice in the future. For now, he would have to bear it.

Liang Yuqi stepped out from the door, her eyes swept over Qi Tian and the others, and said, “Your purpose of coming here is only one, which is to undergo body tempering in the Stone Milk Pool. Now, follow me in. Everyone must follow my arrangements. Whoever wants to make trouble at this time will instantly lose the eligibility to enter the Stone Milk Pool. If it gets too outrageous, I’ll throw him straight into the fog sea. At that time, life or death will be your own responsibility.”

Liang Yuqi’s remarks were cold, a far cry from her enthusiastic demeanor at the auction. She turned around, walking towards the gate as she said, “Everyone can come in now.”

Qi Tian and the others hurriedly followed, walking through the gate with Liang Yuqi.

Once they crossed the threshold, a bright scene unfolded before their eyes. This place was totally different from the outside. The area where they had just landed was a floating island in the fog sea, not large, probably less than the size of a school playground, but the inside of the gate was massively large. What they saw was a substantial cave, shallow ponds under their feet, and various stalactites hanging from the ceiling.

They didn’t know what kind of minerals the stalactites were made of, some of them emitted a faint glow so that they could barely see things in the cave.

“Everyone follow closely, and don’t get lost. If your reckless behavior leads to an inability to use the Stone Milk Liquid for body tempering, or even misses the return time, bear the consequences yourself,” warned Liang Yuqi before leading them on.

Qi Tian and the others followed Liang Yuqi, walking slowly in the cool pond for about fifteen minutes before they arrived at a larger cave. The moment they stepped into this cave, an overwhelming chill hit them, causing several among them to involuntarily shiver. This was indeed strange because all of them were Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators with fairly good cold resistance, but even so, some were shivering, indicating how low the temperature here was.

Liang Yuqi continued leading them deeper into the cave, and only stopped when they reached the bottom. Here, there was a vast pond, roughly six thousand square meters in size but not deep at all. With Qi Tian’s height, standing in the deepest part would just cover his calves.

Liang Yuqi pointed to the pond and said, “Except for Jia Zhengrong, Yu Yuehua, and Qi Tian, everyone else, get into this pond.”

Jia Zhengrong and Yu Yuehua were members of Wanjie Commerce and were carefully nurtured Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. It was expected for them to stay, but Qi Tian being singled out was somewhat unexpected. Not only were the non-selected Wanjie Commerce cultivators puzzled, but even the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators who came with Qi Tian were displeased. They dared not complain in front of Liang Yuqi fearing that if Liang Yuqi was unhappy, she would kick them out.

However, the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators who belonged to Wanjie Commerce were not happy. There was intense competition within Wanjie Commerce. They had been selected through rigorous screenings. Part of them got here due to their real abilities, while others were the beneficiaries of connections. One of the connected cases had previously been promised the best spot, but Liang Yuqi ended up arranging him to share the large public bath with everyone else — he couldn’t accept this.

“Elder Liang, what’s the meaning of this? Why can’t I go to the small pool and have to join the big one?” he directly questioned.

Liang Yuqi said, “I have no other intentions, I just don’t like you, what about it?”

He angrily said, “You’re settling personal scores! Besides, I haven’t offended you.”

Liang Yuqi said, “I am settling personal scores. The matter of the Stone Milk body tempering is entirely my responsibility. If you have any objections, you can raise them with your uncle after we get back.”

He was rendered speechless. He would definitely complain when he got back, but now he couldn’t bring his uncle here as a reinforcement. He glared at Liang Yuqi unwillingly, then turned his attention to Qi Tian. He said, “Kid, I advise you to know your place. Go to the big pool voluntarily, and give up your chance to enter the small pool that should be mine. I might even reward you with something if I’m in a good mood. If you’re not appreciative, be aware of the consequences.”

Liang Yuqi said nothing. Clearly, she would not back Qi Tian up on this matter. She thought offering him a chance to enter the small pool was enough to make up for his performance on the flying sailboat. As for whether Qi Tian could keep this opportunity, it would depend on Qi Tian’s efforts and had nothing to do with her.
