"Good morning, Senior Brother Qin Tian!"

"Hello, Senior Brother Qin Tian."

"Well, Senior Brother Qin Tian, how do you have time to come to the Main Vein? Haha, you're already at the Primordial Pill stage of cultivation, yet still so diligent. I can't compare to you, Junior Brother!"

After the Three Veins Martial Meet ended, when Qin Tian once again came to the Main Vein's Book Collection Pavilion to borrow books, every disciple from the Main Vein and Right Pulse who came out of the pavilion would respectfully address him as "Senior Brother Qin Tian."

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not underestimate a young man for being poor.

At this moment, Qin Tian truly appreciated the principle that in the Spiritual Domain World, the strong are respected.

When he entered the Book Collection Pavilion, the elder in charge of registration, who was the same as before, no longer looked down on or ridiculed Qin Tian but politely stood up with a respectful smile on his face.

"Qin Tian, are you here to borrow books today? As the champion of the Three Veins Martial Meet, you can stay in the Book Collection Pavilion for as long as you want, borrow books anytime as long as you return them within a year, you can borrow five at a time."

The elder in charge of registration proactively spoke to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian had already experienced the 180-degree change in people's attitudes towards him, so he didn't bother with the elder. He looked up at the distant stairs leading to the second floor and said, "I want to go to the second floor."

"Of course, of course, your cultivation doesn't need to be tested, you're already at the Primordial Pill stage, going up to the second floor is not a problem at all. Please."

The elder said with a grin.

Qin Tian nodded and headed towards the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion.

"How did this kid's strength grow so fast? It's strange..."

After Qin Tian left, the elder murmured to himself, "With his kind of foundational strength and growth speed, the new student selection at East Han Academy is in a little over three months, he is very likely to break the record of Qilin Mountain Sect not having disciples selected in the past two terms!"

"A year ago, he was unknown, a year later he astonished everyone, becoming the greatest reliance of Qilin Mountain Sect's new generation, who wouldn't respect someone like him?"

Qin Tian didn't hear the praises the elder sang of him. He strolled to the second floor, not with a specific purpose, but simply to browse and see if he might find a cultivation technique secret manual that appealed to him.

However, just as Qin Tian reached the second floor, at the first compartment, he was face-to-face with Chu Lingfeng.

Chu Lingfeng, still dressed in white, was standing on the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion. Originally browsing a cultivation technique, he was startled when he saw Qin Tian, then he froze.

The two exchanged glances, remaining silent for half a minute.

"It's a matter of victory or defeat, you won, I concede."

After a moment, Chu Lingfeng gritted his teeth, glanced at Qin Tian again, put down the cultivation technique secret manual he was holding, and left directly.

Chu Lingfeng was also sensible, as soon as he saw Qin Tian, he automatically retreated, even though he was once hailed as the number one genius of Qilin Mountain Sect.

Qin Tian watched Chu Lingfeng leave and smiled faintly.

The other disciples from the Main Vein and Right Pulse on the second floor, seeing Chu Lingfeng's reaction to Qin Tian, were even more astonished, hurriedly hiding away and whispering.

Qin Tian wandered around the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion, unable to find a suitable cultivation technique for himself, and was bemused by how people avoided him as if he was a plague. He soon lost interest and went downstairs.

Upon returning to the Left Pulse, Qin Tian learned from Gao Dazhuang that during the finals of the Three Veins Martial Meet, Qin Tian seriously injured Chu Lingfeng. Although it wasn't life-threatening, it caused Chu Lingfeng's strength to decline, which made Ning Qingyun very furious, causing a stir in the Main Vein.

But for all the chaos caused, Qin Tian didn't care.

When Qin Tian was preparing to go to Duan Hun Cliff to continue practicing Wind Breaking Slash, Qiao Zheng called him over.

Upon entering Qiao Zheng's study, Qiao Zheng was extraordinarily warm to him, with a smile on his face, he let Qin Tian sit down and said, "Qin Tian, I'll get straight to the point about why I called you here today."

"Your strength in these recent months has grown exceedingly beyond expectations, much faster than anyone I know, even Ning Qingyun or myself. Even at my peak cultivation days, my speed was at most half of yours."

Qiao Zheng took a sip of tea, having said he would get straight to the point, but still said a lot before finally fixing his gaze on Qin Tian and asking, "Honestly tell me, how did you achieve this? And don't lie to me, this matter is crucial."

"I just devoted myself to cultivation," Qin Tian replied earnestly, "Master, I'm not lying to you."

Qiao Zheng didn't believe it: "How's that possible... haha, you think your master is an idiot? Then tell me, how did you master my Spiritual Sword Three Forms—Gale Illusion and Wind Breaking Slash—in just half a year? I took nearly a year just for Gale Illusion!"

"I simply practiced repeatedly as usual, complemented by the nourishment of Spirit Stones and Elixirs, nothing special."

Qin Tian still kept his secret, as apart from that Mysterious Blood Pearl, there truly wasn't anything remarkable.

But the key thing is, even the Mysterious Blood Pearl puzzled him with its peculiarity.

"Since you say so, then I have nothing more to ask..." Qiao Zheng furrowed his brows, then solemnly said, "Let me ask you this: You've assured me you didn't resort to the Evil Demonic Path's power while cultivating these things, did you? Qin Tian, people of righteous background must refrain from associating with the Evil Demonic Path, otherwise, it could bring disaster upon you!"

"No."

Qin Tian firmly responded, "Master, I displayed my strength during the Three Veins Martial Meet. If I relied on Evil Demonic Path's power, not just you, but even Ning Qingyun and Xie Yunzhen should have noticed something during the competition, right? If they had seen any clue, would they have let me go that day?"

"Conversely, if even Ning Qingyun and the others couldn't spot any flaws, do you think with my current strength, if I practiced the Evil Demonic Path, I would have the ability to hide it so well?"

As Qin Tian finished speaking, Qiao Zheng was momentarily stumped, it seemed Qin Tian's words were irrefutable.

After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Zheng finally felt relieved and smiled, "If you truly didn't rely on anything, then your Cultivation Immortality Talent... really is... haha... even I don't know what words to use to describe it... haha…"

Qiao Zheng's laughter was filled with joy and astonishment, admiration from the bottom of his heart.

He thought for a moment and said, "There are three months until the East Han Academy selection test. You've already earned the qualification, but you can't just stay on the mountain during this time; you need to go out and gain some real-world experience."
