Bowing?!

When Guo Chao bowed to him, Qin Tian was a bit dumbfounded. Damn, what's going on? Why are you bowing to me? I'm not dead yet!

Not only Guo Chao, but even the two who were about to make a move on Qin Tian, Yang Zijun and his companion, also bowed to Qin Tian in understanding.

Qin Tian looked bewildered and said, "What kind of trick are you guys playing? The city is full of schemes, I want to go back to the countryside..."

"Qin Tian, as a slave disciple, you have reached this level and achieved such accomplishments. I, Guo Chao, admire you and see you as an idol. So, the spirit stones you earned from me today, forget it, I won't hold it against you. Until we meet again, I hope we can meet again in the Inner Sect someday!"

Guo Chao raised his head, cupped his fists towards Qin Tian when speaking, looked serious, and then turned and left.

Yang Zijun and his companion also cupped their fists and left Qin Tian.

It was clear that these three truly respected Qin Tian.

"Haha, I wondered who dared to sell elixirs here; turns out it's Senior Brother Qin Tian. You're really amazing! Until we meet again!"

After Guo Chao and his companions left, Bai Jing and his group also followed suit.

Clearly, they weren't prepared to make a move in front of Qin Tian, nor were they confident they could beat him.

Once everyone was gone, Qin Tian began to take out elixirs and spirit stones again and started to tally up his spoils.

This first business deal was a big win, with a profit rate of over a hundred percent—it was simply profiteering.

"Oh, there's someone coming again, hehe."

By noon, two more groups showed up to resolve disputes at the Combat Arena, and seeing this, Qin Tian was delighted with the new business opportunity.

"Don't miss out as you pass by. I've got all sorts of elixirs that enhance strength and heal injuries. Everyone, before going up to the Combat Arena, buy yours first—be prepared! Today, everything is just 998, only 998..."

With his first experience in business, Qin Tian was well-prepared for his second attempt, easily getting into the groove.

For several days straight, Outer Disciples coming to the Combat Arena would see someone loudly shouting during their fights, encouraging them to fight more fiercely rather than making peace.

However, gradually, the Outer Disciples understood that this guy was untouchable for them, having broken three stage records and being an Inner Sect disciple of the Left Pulse.

So, these Outer Disciples would either ignore Qin Tian selling elixirs or go ahead and buy some from him.

About ten days later, the elixirs that Qin Tian had bought at a high price were already sold out.

This time, he made a fortune, and after repaying the debts of Qiao Wenxuan and other Left Pulse disciples, Qin Tian tidied up and found that he now had twenty Mid Grade Spirit Stones and five hundred and sixty Low Grade Spirit Stones!

This was his first windfall in the Spiritual Domain, and a huge one at that.

"What to do after making this money? Continue buying and selling? Haha, forget it."

After making money, Qin Tian wisely stopped and did not continue using this strategy to earn more, because there was basically no more profit to be made.

Now that everyone knew Qin Tian's strategy, the Outer Disciples coming to the Combat Arena for fights were bringing their own elixirs, so who would buy his?

Moreover, Qin Tian's successful method was entirely replicable; just the day before yesterday, an Outer Disciple had already started imitating him in selling elixirs at the Combat Arena.

This kind of business was a one-time deal, and Qin Tian didn't plan to continue running it.

"Most Outer Disciples come from wealthy families but have poor Cultivation Immortality Talent. Earning money from them was easy, but oh well."

After sorting out his thoughts, Qin Tian was ready to devote himself back to cultivation, especially now that he had Cultivation Immortality Resources, feeling more confident.

When Qin Tian returned to the Left Pulse that day, surprisingly, Qiao Zheng was waiting for him outside his room.

"Master, you... why are you waiting for me?" Qin Tian asked.

Qiao Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Qin Tian, hesitated for a moment, then took out a bottle of elixir and a secret manual, and said, "This is the Four Symbols Qi Enhancement Powder, there's only one. Taking it will strengthen your tendons and bones, and open your Dan Tian Qi Sea, laying the foundation for further cultivation. Make good use of it."

"This secret manual is the 'Spiritual Sword Three Forms,' my famed skill back in the day. I only mastered the second form and was unrivaled at Qilin Mountain. Now... I no longer need it, but I hope you will practice it well..."

As Qiao Zheng spoke, he stared at Qin Tian, wanting to say more, but his eyes carried a hint of expectation.

Undoubtedly, by giving him this valuable elixir and secret manual, Qiao Zheng was placing absolute trust and hope in Qin Tian.

Qin Tian hesitated for a few seconds, not daring to accept them.

These two items were too precious!

Not to mention the 'Spiritual Sword Three Forms,' which was Qiao Zheng's key skill, just the Four Symbols Qi Enhancement Powder alone was priced at a hundred Mid Grade Spirit Stones in the elixir books at the Book Collection Pavilion!

In front of Qin Tian, such a price was virtually a sky-high price; all the Spirit Stones he had earned recently weren't enough to buy even one pill.

Moreover, such high-level elixirs were unavailable at ordinary Medicine Workshops in Qilin City, being a rare commodity.

For Qiao Zheng to hand over such valuable items to him nonchalantly, Qin Tian wasn't sure what Qiao Zheng was thinking, but he undoubtedly felt the trust.

"Master, this elixir and secret manual are too precious. Even if you want to pass them on, it should be to the senior sister, not to me, the fourth in line. I'm not qualified..."

Looking at Qiao Zheng, Qin Tian said.

"If I say you have the qualification, then you have it."

Qiao Zheng said with piercing eyes, "I was initially prepared to pass them to Wenxuan, but after observing you these months, I found only you are most suitable for this legacy in the Left Pulse."

After speaking, Qiao Zheng added, "Don't worry, I am not giving you this as a burden. I can see you're devoted to Cultivation Immortality and have no desire to stop. As your mentor, I haven't taught you a single move in these months, and now is the time for me to impart Martial Arts to you."

"Remember the 'Spiritual Sword Three Forms' well. When you practice, do not be impatient. The so-called Spirit Sword requires the sword, the spirit, and the person to be united as one. If you don't make a move, then make it astonishing when you do!"

Qin Tian was reluctant to accept the elixir and the Spiritual Sword Three Forms, but Qiao Zheng insisted, earnestly advising, "I have heard about what you've been doing at the Combat Arena these days. Let me remind you, don't neglect your martial training for earning Spirit Stones. If you want more Spirit Stones and elixirs, you can take tasks from the Main Vein Task Board, which will both sharpen your strength and earn you Cultivation Immortality Resources. Proceed wisely."

After saying this to Qin Tian, Qiao Zheng turned and left.

Qin Tian held the items, watching Qiao Zheng's departing figure, feeling puzzled inside, thinking, 'Such important things, you waited at my door and gave them to me with a few casual words? Isn't this a bit too casual?'
