"Gao Dazhuang, forget it. With my status as a slave, the old man won't take me as a disciple."

Although Gao Dazhuang took the initiative to offer help, Qin Tian did not hesitate and directly refused.

In this half a month, Qin Tian had somewhat come to understand Qiao Zheng's character.

Qiao Zheng was a somber person who kept everything to himself, but deep down, he still had a prideful demeanor.

The Left Pulse was already looked down upon like this, so if he were to take a disciple, he would definitely choose a cultivation prodigy to restore his reputation. Why would he take a person like Qin Tian, who had no cultivation talent?

Moreover, Qin Tian was still labeled with the "slave status," and he didn't even know how that came about.

In the three major sects of Qilin Mountain, there was no precedent of a slave being accepted as a cultivation disciple.

Someone as proud as Qiao Zheng would never agree to accept Qin Tian.

Gao Dazhuang still wanted to say something, but Qin Tian changed the subject directly, "Joining the Left Branch, I don't intend to do that for now; it doesn't matter. But Gao Dazhuang, don't you have a 'Qi Condensation Manual'? Could you lend it to me for a few days?"

"'Qi Condensation Manual'? Qin Tian, this 'Qi Condensation Manual' is something every cultivation disciple has; it's not really expensive... Oh, I forgot you're a slave, okay... okay."

Gao Dazhuang gave a silly grin to Qin Tian and took out a book from the storage bag, "If you want it, I'll give it to you. It's the most basic luck-cultivating manual for immortality cultivators in the early stage. I'm in the Qi Refining Middle Stage now and basically don't need it anymore. Aren't you also in the Qi Refining Middle Stage? Why do you still want this..."

"Collection, I'm using it for my collection."

Qin Tian didn't bother to explain to Gao Dazhuang. Gao Dazhuang followed the most formal basic cultivation path from the Spiritual Domain, but Qin Tian didn't. His foundation was a bit unstable.

Since he couldn't acquire advanced cultivation secret manuals and tips now, using the 'Qi Condensation Manual' to solidify his foundation was a good choice for Qin Tian.

The Left Branch Mountain Range had a forest dedicated to Martial Arts cultivation, where Gao Dazhuang and Qin Tian went to train together, apart from cooking.

Though nominally it was Qin Tian accompanying Gao Dazhuang for training, in fact, Qin Tian was practicing the mnemonic of the 'Qi Condensation Manual' in the bushes while Gao Dazhuang trained, consolidating his cultivation foundation.

"Haha, fat pig, you're all by yourself? Where's that slave Qin Tian from your Left Branch?"

As Qin Tian was meditating to circulate his True Qi, an arrogant voice came from the place where Gao Dazhuang was training, ten meters away.

Upon hearing this voice, Qin Tian frowned instantly—it was Li Yun's voice!

"Li Yun senior, what are you doing in the Left Pulse? What are you... what are you doing..." Gao Dazhuang's nervous voice came.

At that time, Qin Tian stood up from the bushes and saw Li Yun, accompanied by a man of similar age, standing in front of Gao Dazhuang in the distance.

Li Yun arrogantly said, "Doing what? Fat pig, what do you think we're here for?"

"Last time that slave dog dared to touch me! I said I wouldn't let him go. I was busy a few days ago, but today, I came just for him! That guy named Qin Tian, where is he? Speak!"

Li Yun's words were aggressive, and the timid Gao Dazhuang involuntarily shivered, "I-I don't know. I'm here by myself. Li Yun senior, just let Qin Tian go..."

"Gao Dazhuang, what are you afraid of? He's a person, and so are you. There's nothing to be afraid of. Stay calm."

Before Gao Dazhuang could finish speaking, Qin Tian had already stepped out from the bushes.

"Qin Tian, run! Li Yun senior is here for you today. Run!" Gao Dazhuang shouted.

Not only did Qin Tian not run, but he walked directly towards Li Yun and his companion.

"Run? A monk can run away, but the temple won't move! If you dare to run, I'll cripple this fat pig here today and come back to cripple you another day!" Li Yun sneered with a grin.

"Who said I was going to run? Li Yun, you're just a dog. I'm not so timid as to fear a dog."

Qin Tian had come close, and as he spoke, Gao Dazhuang became nervous upon hearing it.

Qin Tian actually called senior Li Yun a dog. It's over! This is really over!

"Li Yun senior, you said this guy is a slave? How is he so cocky? Haha, a slave dog, seeing us, not only doesn't kneel but is also so arrogant. He's asking for death!"

The young man standing next to Li Yun, named Hou Jin, was a new disciple recruited by the Right Pulse this year from Qilin Mountain.

Though a newcomer to the Right Pulse, Hou Jin had already reached the Qi Refining Middle Stage before being admitted. At nineteen, he was among the top ten of this year's new disciples in the Right Pulse, earmarked for special training.

Hou Jin was from a wealthy background and had a smooth path in cultivation, which made him arrogant.

Qin Tian glanced at him and said, "Who the hell are you to speak here?"

"Tired of living! At home, I kill slaves for fun, and today, you're a slave I must kill!"

Always high and mighty, Hou Jin couldn't tolerate being insulted by Qin Tian, whom he regarded as a slave. Without patience, he moved to attack!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Every move of Hou Jin's was accompanied by bursts of True Qi. He had trained in many cultivation fist techniques at home, so his attacks were well-structured.

"You're also in the Qi Refining Middle Stage, showing off in front of me. Get lost!"

Qin Tian did not strike often, but when he did, it was with a sudden fierce punch!

Although Hou Jin's every move had considerable offensive power, Qin Tian's punch was swift and decisive, cutting through the mess neatly. Facing Hou Jin's illusionary fist technique, he punched straight and intercepted, forcing Hou Jin to clash fists with him!

Bam!

When the two fists collided, Hou Jin was suddenly pushed back several meters, his expression changing!

"Qi Refining Middle Stage! How is this possible! A mere slave reached the Qi Refining Middle Stage?!"

Hou Jin stared at Qin Tian, his face filled with inconceivable astonishment.

In his impression, cultivation slaves generally stopped at the Qi Refining Early Stage because they had neither the time nor enough cultivation resources, making it very hard to progress to the Qi Refining Middle Stage.

At least, Hou Jin had never encountered a slave with Qi Refining Middle Stage cultivation before.

Thus, Qin Tian's punch had directly shattered his worldview!

"There are many things beyond your imagination, hum, kid, your talent is indeed good, but right now, in front of me, you don't have the capital to be arrogant! Since you want to kill me, then show me your skills!"

This time, it was Qin Tian's turn to take the initiative to attack.

However, just as Qin Tian gathered his True Qi and was about to strike, Li Yun's figure suddenly lunged at him!

"Hou Jin, you deal with that fat pig! This slave dog is mine! Last time I didn't cripple him, and this time, I want to see who can save him!"
