"Oh no, this is trouble! These thirteen hundred Spirit Stones of yours can at most get you two Qi Primordial Pills. I'm losing money here, even with your thirteen thousand Gold, young man, did you calculate right? You can only exchange for one True Essence Explosive Pill and five Qi Primordial Pills at most, and now you want to exchange for six? Did you miscalculate?"

Upon hearing Qin Tian's offer, the white-bearded old man almost went berserk, a bitter expression returning to his face.

Qin Tian sneered, "I didn't miscalculate. It's exactly one True Essence Explosive Pill and six Qi Primordial Pills. No bargaining, boss. Just say whether you want to do this business or not?"

Since the white-bearded old man wanted to play hardball, Qin Tian played hardball too. He roughly guessed the old man's psychological limit, so he quoted such an astonishing price.

"You are asking for too much, I can't…"

"Since you don't want to do this deal, alright, goodbye. I won't set foot in this store again."

Seeing the white-bearded old man spread his hands, Qin Tian's face darkened, prepared to pack his things and leave directly.

"Fine, fine! Young brother, I'll consider myself unlucky; I'll do this business, alright? Ugh, truly getting the short end of the stick here, sigh…"

The old white-bearded man gritted his teeth, displaying a look as if his heart was being carved.

Qin Tian was speechless, saying, "Boss, stop pretending like you're having a loss with me; would you still do this deal if there's no profit? Haha, do you think I'm stupid or are you feeling smart?"

Having been exposed like this, the white-bearded old man had no choice but to look at Qin Tian and chuckled dryly, "In this deal, I'm truly not profiting from you. Wait, let me have someone tally your Spirit Stones and Gold; I'll get the medicine now."

Half an hour later, when Qin Tian left the Elixir Medicine Workshop in Southern City, his Storage Bag was already filled with one True Essence Explosive Pill and six Qi Primordial Pills.

This time, he had practically emptied all his assets to exchange for these Cultivation Immortality Resources. He had to seize this opportunity no matter what he said.

"It seems that wherever you go, money is the most important; without money, it's hard to take a step. In the future, besides cultivation, I must also make myself a wealthy tycoon in the Spiritual Domain."

After a stroll in Qilin City, Qin Tian exited the city and went back.

When Qin Tian returned to the Left Pulse, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Upon entering the courtyard of the Left Pulse's area, a scene stunned him straight away.

In the courtyard, Qiao Zheng, Qiao Wenxuan, Gao Dazhuang, and Liang Xiaoyu stood in a row, their expressions bewildered, but it was clear from their facial expressions that, apart from Qiao Zheng, the other three had looks of great joy.

Qin Tian could see why they were happy; because standing in front of Qiao Zheng and them were three people, one female and two males!

These three were facing away from Qin Tian, but as he approached slowly, he could immediately recognize them by their backs: the braided girl on the left was the Song Qiuyue whom he had encountered during the Outer Disciple Exam!

"Oh wow, Song Qiuyue... Did these three really pass the three exams and choose to join the Left Pulse?"

Seeing these three people, Qin Tian immediately realized, filled with both surprise and delight.

Back during the third exam, he indeed pitched for the Left Pulse, but who would have thought someone would choose the Left Pulse? This seemed to be the first time in the past five years a candidate from the Outer Disciple Exam decided to join the Left Pulse!

"Qin Tian, what are you standing there for? Come over here!"

Gao Dazhuang shouted to the dazed Qin Tian standing by the plaza.

Hearing this, Song Qiuyue and the other two immediately turned to Qin Tian, joyfully calling in unison, "Senior Brother Qin Tian!"

"Hello, junior brothers and sister," Qin Tian replied awkwardly and then walked up.

Qiao Zheng's face remained calm and steady, addressing Song Qiuyue and the others, "Repeat what you just told me."

Song Qiuyue stepped forward, repeating, "Respected Sect Leader, we three, after witnessing Senior Brother Qin Tian's record-breaking performance during the Outer Disciple Exam, were deeply moved and wish to fight alongside Senior Brother Qin Tian. Thus, we all wish to join the Left Pulse, Sect Leader, please accept us!"

"Sect Leader, my name is Song Qiuyue."

"Sect Leader, my name is Li Xinfu."

"Sect Leader, my name is Xu Hui."

"Please, Sect Leader and Senior Brother Qin Tian, accept us!"

The three disciples spoke in unison and then bowed to Qiao Zheng!

Qiao Zheng was stunned, took a deep breath, a trace of relief in his smile but held back, shot Qin Tian a look, his lips slightly curving upwards.

"Hey, junior brothers, and Sister Song, no need to be so polite, your choice to join the Left Pulse makes our master very happy; of course, we will accept you! Haha..." Gao Dazhuang replied eagerly with a smile.

Liang Xiaoyu added, "Exactly, it's been ages since any Outer Disciple joined us; the three of you passed the exams and joined us, our master is overjoyed...with delight."

Before Liang Xiaoyu finished speaking, Qiao Zheng coughed twice, and Liang Xiaoyu, who was full of joy, instantly pouted, murmuring quietly, "Clearly so happy, why hold it in, Senior Brother Qin Tian persuaded them to come, better accept them now, or if they regret later, I'd see you turning inward with remorse."

Despite speaking softly, Qiao Zheng heard it crystal clear, and giving her a glare, surprisingly rolled his eyes, saying, "You three are welcome in the Left Pulse. I hope in the future, you can work hard to improve your cultivation and bring honor to the Left Pulse."

"Thank you, master!"

With Qiao Zheng's statement, it represented accepting them as his disciples.

Song Qiuyue and the others joyously knelt and bowed three times to Qiao Zheng as a simple act of apprenticeship.

"Today, you three join my Left Pulse, it's right to take good care of you. Dazhuang, prepare a good meal at noon, and let us all dine together," Qiao Zheng said.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing, Gao Dazhuang was stunned, dumbfounded; it was the first time after all these years the master ever suggested having a sumptuous meal and gathering to eat together. "Okay, okay, rest assured, master, under Qin Tian's guidance my culinary skills have progressed in leaps and bounds, my dishes, my roasted chicken drumsticks are certainly delicious. Haha." Gao Dazhuang responded repeatedly.

"Yes."

Qiao Zheng nodded slightly, and then turned to leave, but after stepping out, he seemed to remember something, turned back, and directly fixed his gaze on Qin Tian, very evidently nodding at him!

"Qin Tian, since these three came because of you, you will, on my behalf, settle them in, help them get familiar with the environment, and instruct them on Left Pulse's rules."

"Yes, master."

Qiao Zheng's words left everyone stunned. Logically, Qin Tian, having just joined, should be the lowest-ranking disciple; new recruits should be guided by Senior Sister Qiao Wenxuan, and yet now it is Qin Tian who is guiding!
