On the way back to the Left Pulse, the group didn't speak a word.

Qiao Zheng walked slowly in the front, with Qin Tian and Qiao Wenxuan leading, while the disciples of the Left Pulse followed behind one by one.

It wasn't until they reached the main courtyard of the Left Pulse that Qiao Zheng stopped walking after entering the courtyard.

Everyone knew that Qiao Zheng was publicly humiliated by Ma Changqing, and even spat blood upon being hit by him. Such disgraceful events surely made Qiao Zheng feel extremely shamed and distressed. Hence, since Qiao Zheng didn't speak, nobody dared to say a word.

When Qiao Zheng turned around to look at his disciples, Qin Tian and others all lowered their heads.

"Qin Tian, come with me..."

Qiao Zheng hesitated for a moment, said to Qin Tian, and then walked toward his study.

Qiao Wenxuan watched the back of Qiao Zheng and said to Qin Tian: "My father is calling you, you should go quickly."

Qin Tian responded and followed behind Qiao Zheng, arriving at Qiao Zheng's study.

"Sit."

After Qiao Zheng sat down in the study, he also asked Qin Tian to take a seat.

He sat in the chair, and at this moment, Qin Tian saw Qiao Zheng appear suddenly older by several years, with not a trace of liveliness on his face, reminiscent of an old man in his sixties or seventies. Logically speaking, a cultivator shouldn't be like this.

Qin Tian sat opposite Qiao Zheng's desk, and though accustomed to witnessing great events, he felt inexplicably tense.

Having been transmitted from Earth, he inexplicably arrived at the Left Pulse of Qilin Mountain Sect, which could be considered fate.

For Qin Tian, Qiao Wenxuan and others of the Left Pulse, as well as Qiao Zheng, were people he owed gratitude to.

Now, seeing his mentor humiliated in front of him, Qin Tian felt unspeakable anger inside.

But currently, he lacked the strength to contend with Ma Changqing, so he could only endure it.

"Has your cultivation reached the Qi Refining Peak?"

Amid the silence, Qiao Zheng abruptly asked.

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Being able to defeat Liu Liang shows that your strength now has surpassed Wenxuan and you are the strongest in my Left Pulse."

Qiao Zheng spoke with a gratified glance at Qin Tian, "However, you must have heard what Ma Changqing said at the Right Pulse Martial Arts Square. In two years, the left pulse sect leader position is essentially unsecured... so, Qin Tian, I still hope you make plans early... after all, you've now offended everyone in the Right Pulse."

Upon hearing Qiao Zheng's words, Qin Tian was stunned: "Master, what do you mean, are you driving me away?"

"How could I? Your Cultivation Immortality Talent is peculiar, accepting you as a disciple is the greatest fortune of mine in recent years. Within less than half a year, you've done much to make the Left Pulse proud, Wenxuan has told me everything."

While saying this, Qiao Zheng stared at Qin Tian earnestly, "Precisely because of this, because you've helped elevate the Left Pulse, the people of the Right Pulse want to eliminate you immediately. And as your master, my cultivation is declining, unable to fully protect you, the shift in Left Pulse leadership is unavoidable, so..."

Qin Tian understood Qiao Zheng's words, Qiao Zheng feared that after the leadership change, someone might target him.

He gave Qiao Zheng a glance, feeling immensely touched.

Gritting his teeth, he said: "Master, rest assured, there are still two years. Give me two years, things certainly won't unfold as Ma Changqing envisages!"

Qin Tian's attitude was resolute, which Qiao Zheng understood and asked: "What do you plan to do?"

Qin Tian responded: "I will participate in the Tri-Vein Martial Competition early next year. For our Left Pulse, I will demonstrate our strength!"

Hearing this, Qiao Zheng fell silent.

After a while, he finally said: "With your current strength and another half year of cultivation, as your master, I believe with good luck on the draw, you should be able to reach the top sixteen, possibly even the top eight. But then what? In the top eight, you will encounter Qilin's Five Prestigious and the Unrivaled Duo, any one of them is a genius of Qilin Mountain Sect, I'm afraid..."

"Is Master lacking faith in me?"

Before Qiao Zheng could finish, Qin Tian interrupted, staring at Qiao Zheng.

Qin Tian likewise stared at Qin Tian, the two of them locked eyes for a few seconds, then Qiao Zheng spoke at length, slightly closed his eyes, said: "Ah, as the Main Line Sect Leader, I am thus self-deprecating, ashamed!"

After that, he looked at Qin Tian again, seriously said: "Since you have confidence and want to strive, I impart not the Spiritual Sword Three Forms to you, what I can finally help you with is support in Cultivation Immortality Resources!"

Upon saying this, Qiao Zheng stood up, took a red small box from a hidden compartment in the study, placed it on the desk before Qin Tian, said: "Elixir and Magic Artifact are alike, divided into nine grades, each grade into high, mid, and low three stages. This Marrow Cleansing Pill is a second grade initial stage elixir, as an old cultivator for decades, this elixir counts as precious, take it to consume well... as your master, this is all I can assist you with!"

Qin Tian looked at the small red box and listened to Qiao Zheng's words, feeling an inexplicable warmth inside.

He hesitated a moment, then didn't say much more, directly reached out, put the small red box into his palm, stood up, and pledged to Qiao Zheng: "Master, rest assured, I will never fail you! Never fail the Left Pulse!"

Qiao Zheng also stood up, firmly nodded: "Take care for yourself!"

Walking out of Qiao Zheng's study, Qin Tian's heart couldn't calm down.

The Marrow Cleansing Pill, second grade initial stage, valued at tens of thousands of Mid Grade Spirit Stones, and is priceless, according to the Southern City Medicine Workshop's owner, in the whole Qilin City, only the Alchemy Guild's workshop sells the Marrow Cleansing Pill and appointment is necessary!

Unexpectedly, Qiao Zheng had one stored.

Remarkably, he was reluctant to consume it for himself, yet gave it to Qin Tian!

Qin Tian's expression was solemn.

"Qin Tian."

As he walked to the corridor outside his room door, Qiao Wenxuan was waiting at Qin Tian's door, calling after him.

Qin Tian invited Qiao Wenxuan into the room, and said: "Senior Sister, are you looking for me, is there something up?"

Qiao Wenxuan sat on the wooden stool next to the table, watching Qin Tian, her beautiful eyes sparkling, said: "I know roughly what my father went to talk to you about... right now, you are the hope of our Left Pulse..."

"Senior Sister, did you just come over to say this to me?"

"No, I have a favor to ask of you."

"What favor?"

"I want... to ask you to help my dad, to help him keep the Left Pulse. This is the hope of our Qiao Family spanning over a dozen generations, our Qiao Family, was initially the Main Line Sect Leader, then the Right Pulse, finally ... falling into decline generation after generation, until it came to my father, who originally had a chance to compete for the Main Line Sect Leader, then got injured and poisoned inexplicably at Duan Hun Cliff, only able to become the Left Pulse Sect Leader... He's always felt troubled inside..."

"Senior Sister, you don't need to say anymore, I'm a person of the Left Pulse, you treat me like family, even without you saying, I'd give it my all." Qin Tian assured earnestly.

Upon hearing, Qiao Wenxuan nodded, glanced at Qin Tian, then lowered her gaze, her face slightly flushed: "I... my father and I, have always regarded you as family..."
