During the New Year, when visiting friends or relatives, refrain from indulging in alcohol.

Qi Tian chuckled and said, “It seems Master Huang and the City Lord have made a decision together, not letting me choose the treasure first.”
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong hurriedly said, “Please don’t misunderstand. If you insist on taking the Gold Rune Volume first, I won’t compete with you. I just hope to be able to borrow and study it. Don’t worry, I understand the rules, you can name the price.”
Qi Tian laughed and said, “Master Huang, are you taking my joke seriously?”
Huang Zhong’s eyes lit up and asked, “Does that mean you’re giving up the Gold Rune Volume?”
Qi Tian nodded and said, “Gentlemen are gracious, I may not be one, but I don’t want to be despicable.”
Huang Zhong was overjoyed. He bowed to Qi Tian and said, “Thank you for your generosity. I, Huang Zhong, know to show gratitude. Once I get the Gold Rune Volume, I will promptly make a copy. When the time comes, I will present it to you. Please don’t refuse.”
Qi Tian nodded with a smile. In fact, whether the Gold Rune Volume was gold-plated or not, didn’t matter to him. What he needed was the knowledge and wisdom it contained. As long as he could get these, everything else was superficial and unimportant.
In the end, in front of Zhuang Yanran and Huang Zhong, Qi Tian took the brocade box containing the Wuhang Ring. What he needed most at the time was this treasure. He had gained quite a bit from the Lianying Realm, having collected several storage bags. They were inconvenient to carry on his body, bulging undesirably when tucked into his clothing or too conspicuous when hung from his waist. In the Lianying Realm, he had nothing to fear, but once he returned to the Imperial Master Mansion, there would be a lot of envious people. Many capable of robbing him, so Qi Tian had to be prepared in advance.
The appearance of the Wuhang Ring was quite timely, resolving the biggest crisis he could potentially face upon returning to the Imperial Master Mansion.

Even if Zhuang Yanran and Huang Zhong didn’t ask him, he would have chosen the Wuhang Ring first. Now, not only did he not need to make a choice, the two practically “forced” him to choose the Wuhang Ring. In addition, they gave him a bunch of benefits, giving him both reputation and reward.
In front of Zhuang Yanran and Huang Zhong, Qi Tian took the brocade box containing the Wuhang Ring, took out the Wuhang Ring, and put it on his finger. This meant that Qi Tian had made his choice. Zhuang Yanran and Huang Zhong then respectively collected the Black Crane egg and the Gold Rune Volume. All three were overjoyed. Zhuang Yanran let Qi Tian take a box of coins, and also the heavenly level middle-grade Spirit Military spear, before they all left the secret room together.
Zhuang Yanran waved his hand and called Bai YuJie, who had been standing guard outside, instructing him to bring some people and move all the treasures from the secret room to the City Lord’s Mansion, for storage. Then, Zhuang Yanran said to Qi Tian, “My dear brother, I should be accompanying you, but the matter of the Black Crane egg is too important, and cannot be neglected, so I won’t accompany you.”
“The City Lord can go ahead with his business. I’ll rest in Guchuan City today, and start my journey tomorrow to cultivate elsewhere.” Qi Tian said with a smile.
“That’s really a pity. In that case, I’ll let Bai YuJie take care of you on my behalf. Bai YuJie, isn’t there an auction at the Lianying Trade Union tonight? Get a pass for Brother Qi Tian, and accompany him to have a look. Perhaps, there might be something Qi Tian needs. Remember, he is our honored guest, anyone who dares to offend him, suppress them under the name of the City Lord’s Mansion.” Zhuang Yanran ordered.
“Yes.” Bai YuJie responded solemnly.
Zhuang Yanran turned and left. Huang Zhong said to Qi Tian, “I will work quickly, and by the time you leave, I will have the copy ready.” After promising Qi Tian, Huang Zhong also left.
Bai YuJie watched Qi Tian enviously. No matter if it was Zhuang Yanran or Huang Zhong, they were the elite of Guchuan City, and they were all so polite to Qi Tian. Wouldn’t that make him envious? But he also knew that being envious was of no help. Qi Tian had such high status and potential, his treatment was well deserved and unquestionable.
Bai YuJie bowed to Qi Tian, saying: “From now on, I am your attendent, Qi Tian. Let me know if you need anything.”
Qi Tian quickly returned the gesture, saying, “Thank you, Captain Bai.”
After exchanging a few more formalities, Bai YuJie led Qi Tian away from the Mount Store, with Hu Niu steadily trailing behind him. There were plenty of cultivators with mounts in Guchuan City, but there were few as impressive as Qi Tian’s.
Bai YuJie’s mount was a Demonic Bird, which was also quite impressive, but it paled in comparison to Hu Niu.
Qi Tian was still curious about the Lianying Trade Union. He learned about it from both his own gains and the gains of Shi Yufeng and the others.
Seeing Qi Tian’s interest and after getting his approval, Bai YuJie began leading him to the Lianying Trade Union, while describing the basic situation of the Union.
The Lianying Trade Union was the largest trade union in the Lianying Realm, with branches not only in Guchuan City but also in other Lianying cities. The trade union was not only large with many branches, but its goods were also of high quality, and its types of goods were comprehensive. All items cultivators might need to purchase could be found here, and were guaranteed to be better than similar items found elsewhere. As for the price? It wouldn’t make you feel like you’re being ripped off.
The Lianying Trade Union had an elevated status within Guchuan city. The manager of the branch, Wang Zheng, didn’t even need to give face to the City Lord. Zhuang Yanran always turned a blind eye to this and never disputed with Wang Zheng.
Immediately, Qi Tian became immensely interested in the Lianying Trade Union. He had quite a few coins on him now, and he thought of exchanging them for cultivation resources. Rather than going around to each shop, it would be better to spend all his coins at the Lianying Trade Union.
After learning about Qi Tian’s plans, Bai YuJie quickly dissuaded him, “Qi Tian, if you trust me, hold on to your coins. Otherwise, you will regret it at tonight’s auction. It’s normal for items worth millions to be auctioned. Even tens of millions is not unheard of.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Tian became interested. He asked Bai YuJie to speed up and take him to the Lianying Trade Union to have a look around first. Then he will go to the auction in the evening.
Bai YuJie led Qi Tian to the Lianying Trade Union, a seven-story building where each floor covered an area of over ten thousand square meters. Next to the Union was a huge square for parking mounts, covering thousands of square meters, and was almost entirely occupied by various kinds of beasts and birds.
Logically, with so many beasts and birds together, there should be a stench and mess. However, the square was actually filled with birdsong and flowers, giving off a refreshing feeling of being in a grassland. There were barely any signs of animal waste on the ground. From this alone, it was evident that the Lianying Trade Union was highly competent. Being able to manage such a large square, filled with tens of thousands of beasts and birds, in such an orderly manner, was not something that an ordinary organization could achieve.
If Qi Tian had been rather casual at first, when he saw this temporary parking area administered by the Lianying Trade Union, he eliminated all casualness and became extremely serious. He hasn’t forgotten that although he was speaking in the native language of Lianying Realm and wearing the attire of the local cultivators, he was not a native here.
Although people like Zhuang Yanran and Bai YuJie could not recognize him, it didn’t mean others couldn’t. This place was far from his Safe House, and if he were recognized, he would certainly be in danger. From now on, he had to be especially careful. Anything that might expose his identity must be concealed. Even habits and details of daily life should be curbed. No amount of caution would be excessive.
Of course, Qi Tian didn’t intend to restrain himself to the point where he didn’t dare to say anything or do anything. That would only make things worse. What he needed was to deal with things with an ordinary mind, and to live as a normal native cultivator of the Lianying Realm would.
Bai YuJie led Qi Tian into the parking area to find a good storage location. Qi Tian’s mount was the Golden Flur Tiger, which was one of the best land mounts that the cultivators in the Lianying Realm could find. Moreover, Hu Niu was at the peak of the Qi Cultivation Eighth Level and was also a mother tiger. All these factors had to be taken into account, and a location for her couldn’t be arranged haphazardly. For instance, if there was an active Red-Eye Demon Wolf next to Hu Niu, and it accidentally annoyed her, and she killed it in a bite, trouble would certainly ensue.
Bai YuJie was quite experienced in this area. She led Qi Tian to the private storage area designated for distinguished mounts at the most interior part of the parking area. The mounts parked there were generally of a higher level, and neither their level nor abilities would be far inferior to Hu Niu’s. Moreover, it employed single-cage management to maximize the prevention of conflicts between mounts.
There were still empty single cages in the distinguished mounts storage area, and Bai YuJie muttered that they were lucky. Tonight would be the auction, and usually, at this time, all the single cages would be fully booked. That there were now empty cages was indeed good fortune.
