Qi Tian shook his head, “No matter what, I won’t swap places with you. Your character leaves a lot to be desired, I just can’t trust you.”

The look on the face of the man with connections twitched. Qi Tian had repeatedly accused him of having bad morals, causing tameless flames of rage to surge within him, almost unable to control it. If not for Qi Tian using the small pool arranged by Elder Liang Yuqi, he might have resorted to certain means. Yet, actual combat was out of the question. He knew that Qi Tian could kill a heavily injured Gold Core Level Six cultivator with a single blow, and even if the opponent only had the strength of the First Level of Gold Core Realm, that was beyond his reach. If Qi Tian could kill a cultivator at the First Level of Gold Core Realm, he could surely kill him too. Even if he were an arrogant hotshot, he understood the principle of not making a needless enemy.

The man snorted loftily, “Since you refuse to respond, I’ll find someone else to talk to you.” With that, he walked to another small pool and slapped at the defensive array outside the small pool.

“Zhu Yuehua, come out.”

After a few successive slaps, and being assured that the person inside had heard his call, he moved to the first small pool. It was the best positioned and most beneficial for practicing amongst all the small pools. This place opened only once every ten years. Before its opening, an internal disciple competition was held within Wanjie Commerce. Only the first place in this competition had the right to use this small pool, and this year, Jia Zhengrong was the champion.

The connected man seemed to regard Jia Zhengrong with little respect. He was not concerned that his interruption would impact Jia Zhengrong’s cultivation. He reached out and slapped the array orchestra outside the small pool without hesitation.

“Jia Zhengrong, come out, I have something for you to do.”

A moment later, the array of Jia Zhengrong’s small pool was lifted, and Jia Zhengrong walked out from the small pool. With a helpless expression on his face, he cupped his hands towards the man, “Uncle Master, I wonder why you summoned me?”

At the same time, Zhu Yuehua also stepped out from another small pool. He wore the same expression of helplessness, and the look in his eyes towards the connected man was mixed with a hint of disgust. Nevertheless, he also cupped his hands towards the man, “Sir, I wonder why you summoned me?”

Jia Zhengrong showed no hint of apology for interrupting Jia Zhengrong and Zhu Yuehua’s cultivation. He pointed at Qi Tian nonchalantly, “I want to swap cultivation spots with Qi Tian. I’ll go to the small pool, he’ll go to the big pool. I allowed him to make a demand, but he refused. You two will be the witnesses. As long as he agrees to switch places, no matter what the conditions, I’ll agree.”

Jia Zhengrong was almost brought to his knees by his cheap master uncle. Was this something that could just be said casually? Even if they didn’t aim high, if Qi Tian asked for a Three-Turns Heaven Earth Pill, would his cheap uncle be willing to give it? Everyone knew it was impossible. Who would believe him after making such a statement in these circumstances?

Despite being contemptuous inside, but Jia Zhengrong really couldn’t refuse to help. Both of them were colleagues at Wanjie Commerce, and his master was a disciple of the connected man’s father. The connected man was extremely fond of his son. If he found out that Jia didn’t help when his uncle needed help, Jia wouldn’t be able to handle the repercussions. Helpless, Jia could only sigh and say to Qi Tian, “Sir, as you know, your spot was given to you by Elder Liang. We shouldn’t wish for it, but, if you would willingly give it up, I’m sure Elder Liang wouldn’t mind. So, feel free to make any demands, and we’ll be sure to accommodate you as long as it’s within our means. Zhu Yuehua, don’t you agree?”

Zhu Yuehua was silent the whole time, hoping to stay quietly as an onlooker. Despite being part of the Wanjie Commerce, he wasn’t a blue-blooded son. He only joined the Wanjie Commerce after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage through his own cultivation. His standing within Wanjie Commerce was quite shallow, and he didn’t dare to offend the connected man. This was why he hastily ended his cultivation session and walked out of his small pool when the man called him. However, he didn’t want to offend Qi Tian either. Killing a Gold Core Realm cultivator with a single punch wasn’t easy. Being torn between the two sides wasn’t something he could handle just because he wanted to. Yet, Jia Zhengrong dragged him into the mess.

Zhu Yuehua managed to squeeze out a smile. He bowed towards Jia Zhengrong, “I’ll follow whatever you decide, Sir. I’ll cheer you on.”

Jia Zhengrong said, “Qi Tian, as you can see, we are reasonable people. Whatever your requirements are, just state them. We will do our best not to put you at a disadvantage.”

Qi Tian replied, “Why are you guys fixated on my small pool? Jia Sir, since you’re this Sir’s close nephew, why don’t you take the initiative and offer your small pool? Isn’t that a win-win?”

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhengrong wished he could duel with Qi Tian. What kind of rotten idea was Qi Tian suggesting? His use of the number one small pool for half a month was won by defeating all opponents, and with his sweat and effort. How could he just give it to the connected man? Initially, his uncle didn’t have this idea, but now that Qi Tian mentioned it, he feared his uncle might truly have an interest in the number one small pool.
