Chapter 2243 - 2246: Provoking Me?

Xu San finally passed the martial arts competition and became an outer disciple.

After having a meal with Qin Tian, he went to report at the inner sect.

The treatment of outer disciples versus inner disciples within the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect is worlds apart.

Upon entering the inner sect, Qin Tian was immediately led by a servant to his prepared residence.

He lived alone in a courtyard filled with various magical spirit stones and plants and trees overflowing with spiritual energy.

In such an environment, it is impossible not to elevate one's cultivation; the spiritual energy is incredibly abundant.

After resting for one night, Qin Tian went to pay respects to Wang Tianqing in the Blessed Land the next day.

Wang Tianqing's cultivation site is a miraculous void formed by condensed true qi, known as a Blessed Land in the Immortal Domain.

The Blessed Land has various miraculous features; cultivating there yields twice the result with half the effort.

Entering the Blessed Land, Qin Tian instantly felt intense vibrations from his Dan Tian Qi Sea.

This vibration felt like the expansion of true qi, with his entire body, even his bloodstream feeling as if it is about to boil.

"Wow, no wonder the elders all have their own Blessed Lands; cultivating here is at least several times faster than outside!"

At this moment, while standing in the purple Blessed Land surrounded by spiritual energy-bathed plants and flowers, Qin Tian gazes at the strange clouds overhead, filled with envy.

The strong get stronger, the weak get weaker; that's the principle.

The resources for cultivation immortality the strong acquire are truly beyond imagination.

When Qin Tian arrived at the courtyard built of crystal spirit stones in the Blessed Land, facing the spiritual energy wafting out, Wang Tianqing's voice rang out:

"You're new to the Blessed Land, and it's understandable that you're curious. Come in."

Qin Tian respectfully entered, where Wang Tianqing in white sat on an ice-carved chair, seemingly resting yet also cultivating.

"Disciple pays respects to Master."

Qin Tian stood in front, respectfully greeting.

"Sit, old man here has only you as a disciple, hehe, no need to be restrained."

Wang Tianqing appeared very gentle, inviting Qin Tian to sit on the ice-carved chair beside him.

As soon as Qin Tian sat down, he instantly felt waves of coldness coming from the chair; the spiritual energy penetrated the skin, reaching the bone, connecting to his Dan Tian Qi Sea.

"Wow, this…"

He had anticipated the ice-carved chair might aid in cultivation, but he had not expected the power emitting from the chair upon sitting to be so overwhelming!

His Dan Tian Qi Sea felt as if it were about to boil!

"Haha, you don't need to be surprised; your cultivation is indeed very low, so these little objects help you considerably."

Seeing Qin Tian's surprised expression, Wang Tianqing explained, "When your cultivation reaches the Ascension Stage, these ordinary objects will influence you much less."

"Reach the Ascension Stage?"

Qin Tian reacted slightly, and as he spoke, he felt the aura in his Dan Tian Qi Sea internally circulating and agitating, seemingly about to advance!

"This is why many outer disciples seek to become inner disciples; as an inner disciple, one can cultivate in the Blessed Land with incomparable speed compared to outside."

Gazing at Qin Tian, Wang Tianqing said, "Your cultivation hasn't reached the Ascension Stage yet, so your advancement space is very large, especially advancing to the initial stage of the Ascension Stage is almost effortlessly done."

"From today on, come to me for cultivation every morning; in three days, you should advance."

Three days?

Qin Tian had only recently reached the peak of the Flying Immortal Realm; could he advance in just three days?

He was slightly stunned and quickly expressed gratitude, "Thank you, Master!"

In reality, Qin Tian only took two days to advance to the initial stage of the Ascension Stage, contrary to Wang Tianqing's prediction.

Even Wang Tianqing was somewhat surprised by Qin Tian's fast advancement speed.

"This youngster contains something unusual within; his bloodline seems to be extraordinary too, haha, his potential is indeed limitless."

Seeing Qin Tian's cultivation potential, Wang Tianqing was very pleased and resolved to nurture him well.

"Take my pass token to the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion and select two cultivation techniques you like for thorough cultivation. As for the inferior techniques you learned before, feel free to abandon those you can; don't waste time on them."

Wang Tianqing handed Qin Tian a token.

The Xuanyuan Book Pavilion is where the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect stores its books.

It has three floors; outer disciples borrow books on the ground floor, inner disciples on the second floor, while the third floor is for elders.

Taking the token, Qin Tian went to the Xuanyuan Book Pavilion and headed straight for the second floor.

"Is that guy… is he Qin Tian?"

"Yes, it is the Qin Tian whom Chief Elder Wang Tianqing took as his disciple."

"Tsk tsk, what abilities does he have? I think he's just ordinary, yet why did Elder Wang Tianqing break protocol to accept him?"

"I don't know, I'm puzzled too… Haha, this kid's luck surely stinks."

Qin Tian ignored the gazes and discussions from the crowd on the first floor.

But as he was about to climb to the second floor, he heard a discordant voice: "I see his cultivation is low, so what if he found Wang Tianqing as his Master? Haha, trash is still trash; a mere inner disciple with not even higher cultivation than an ordinary outer disciple, haha… truly shameful."

Swish!

Qin Tian halted his steps and turned back, directly staring at the person who spoke.

A man appeared to be in his seventies, with white beard and eyebrows, carrying an air of arrogance.

During selection, he was not chosen by the elders.

Later, in the martial arts competition, he did not rank ahead, finally placing seventy-seventh as a top-ranking outer disciple.

Thus, upon seeing Qin Tian, and particularly perceiving an unimpressive aura from him, he couldn't resist mocking.

"What, Qin Tian, is it not true?" The man asked fearlessly when met with Qin Tian's gaze.

Qin Tian frowned, "What's your name?"

"Haha, I'm Li Yang, and I won't change my name or sit in shame."

"Li Yang, as an outer disciple, you should have the awareness befitting an outer disciple? Hmph, inner disciples are beyond your critique! No matter my capabilities, I still possess the strength to beat you into submission."

Swish!

With the mention of "submission," Li Yang's expression abruptly changed!

Glaring at Qin Tian, he bit his teeth in anger:

"You? Haha… I see you only recently advanced to the Ascension Stage; you think you can subdue me? Hmph, care to try? I am middle stage in the Ascension Stage, superior to you; inner disciple or not, absolute strength renders you still a waste!"
