Chapter 741: Chapter 0466 Absolutely Cannot Miss_2 Chapter 741: Chapter 0466 Absolutely Cannot Miss_2 Prince Zhao realized that once Qi Tian had spoken to this extent, there was no room for refusal. He was well aware that everything he had was given to him by Qi Tian. If he were to deviate from Qi Tian’s plans on this matter, he did not know what future repercussions would be. Moreover, from another perspective, Qi Tian was doing this for his own good. Even though he himself did not understand much about cultivation, he was well aware of what it would take to push an older man, whose bones had already ford, who had taken a wife and fathered children, into the Gold Core Realm. The cultivation resources required were trendous. But with these resources, what else could Qi Tian accomplish? He would not naively think that Qi Tian was doing all this out of greed for him as he was rely an unpopular illegitimate son of Emperor Tian Rui, with a status not even equivalent to that of legitimate children. He held no power, had no wealth, so what could Qi Tian possibly covet? Furthermore, if Qi Tian truly desired sothing from him, would it be necessary to raise his cultivation to the Gold Core Realm first?
“Alright, Master, I will follow your commands. Whatever you instruct to do, I will do,” Prince Zhao forced himself to appear agreeable.
Qi Tian nodded in satisfaction, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve analysed this. The probability of success for this plan is over half, provided there are no accidents. In two or three months, you will be a strong practitioner in the Gold Core Realm, just in ti for the Northern Expedition.”
Prince Zhao gave Qi Tian a respectful salute and replied, “Then I entrust my more than a hundred pounds to you, Master.”
Qi Tian responded, “First, go and inform Marquis Ma and the rest, and take care of any necessary arrangents. Then, co to tomorrow, and we will begin the first step.”
Upon returning to his residence, Qi Tian began making preparations. He was truly intent on turning Prince Zhao into a strong practitioner in the Gold Core Realm. He had had this idea a long ti ago, but it was not strong since the challenge was imnse, and the cultivation resources consud would be no small sum. He had not yet established that deep of a relationship with Prince Zhao, so investing this many resources in him could very possibly result in a complete loss. However, everything changed in Qi Tian’s mind after eting Marquis Ma. If cultivators could bully the Marquis to his face and take all his silver, then it was possible that one day, soone could confront Prince Zhao, execute him, and disrupt the delicate balance Qi Tian had painstakingly arranged. Under no circumstances would Qi Tian allow this to happen. To ensure that Prince Zhao was not killed, other than having Gold Core Realm strongn to guard him, the only way was to make Prince Zhao himself a practitioner with power equivalent to that of the Gold Core Realm strongn. He did not need to be the best among them, but he couldn’t be too far behind either.
Qi Tian’s preparations proceeded smoothly, and by evening, most of the arrangents were in place. Qi Tian was not alone in his efforts; Gao Jini and the rest were assisting him.
Among them was Guan Xun, who had been following Qi Tian the longest. Back when Qi Tian first made a na for himself in the Imperial Master Mansion, Guan Xun could not even maintain the right to continue his cultivation there. When he was about to be expelled from the Imperial Master Mansion, Guan Xun chose to pledge loyalty to Qi Tian and was eventually recognized by him.
Guan Xun was indeed not suited for cultivation. Aside from this shortcoming, he possessed no talents in alchemy, dicine, or talisman production. People like him were dood to be diocre for life, achieving nothing by the ti of their death. However, Guan Xun was dedicated and hardworking. Whatever Qi Tian asked him to do, he always managed to complete successfully.
Looking at Guan Xun, a thought crossed Qi Tian’s mind, “Brother Guan Xun, given that you will never reach higher realms of cultivation in this life, do you harbor any resentnt?”
Guan Xun answered, “It would be a lie to say that I have no grudge. However, it was a blessing in disguise that I t you, Master, and I no longer have to worry about food and clothing. Plus, I am able to save so cultivation resources. By accumulating them slowly, there might be a chance for to attain a higher realm in the future.”
Qi Tian nodded, appreciating Guan Xun’s positive attitude, one of the reasons he respected Guan Xun. After so thought, Qi Tian decided to give Guan Xun an opportunity. “Do you know what we’ve been busy with all day, making these preparations? I intend to give Prince Zhao a chance and forcibly elevate his cultivation realm to the Gold Core Realm.”
“Ah?” Guan Xun’s eyes brightened, but then dimd as he considered his own situation. However, he still managed to smile and say, “Master, truly you succeed where others cannot.”
Qi Tian laughed and said, “Brother Guan Xun, would you like to give it a try?”
“Can I?” Guan Xun could hardly believe his ears.
Qi Tian chuckled and said, “Why not? Don’t forget, we knew each other far earlier than I did Prince Zhao, and you are my loyal companion. In this regard, Prince Zhao doesn’t stand a chance.”
Guan Xun was overjoyed and said excitedly to Qi Tian, “If you are willing to give this opportunity, Master, I am willing to serve you for all my lives.”
“It’s not that serious. All you need to do is fulfill your obligations,” Qi Tian laughed. He pointed to the array he just set up and said, “We should seize the day and start now. Enter the array, and I will begin to enhance your power.”
Guan Xun didn’t know how Qi Tian was going to enhance his power, but he trusted Qi Tian and walked directly into the array. Qi Tian took out a small bag of spirit stones. He had specifically selected almost a hundred top-grade spirit stones which he put into the small bag.
Qi Tian took out a portion of the top-grade spirit stones and one by one embedded them into the array in front of Gao Jini, Guan Xun, and the others.
Gao Jini and the others wore incredulous expressions. It was not their first ti seeing top-grade spirit stones, but they had never seen so many before. What they found even more unbelievable was that Qi Tian had taken them out for Guan Xun, a servant with little prospect for a greater future. This was a total reversal of their beliefs—if they hadn’t witnessed it themselves, they wouldn’t have believed it ever.”
Qi Tian quickly embedded more than thirty top-grade spirit stones, then instructed Gao Jini and the others to retreat to a certain distance beyond the array. Afterward, he said to Guan Xun in the array, “This thod will cause a lot of pain. You must endure it, Brother Guan Xun, and not withdraw midway.”
Guan Xun nodded firmly. This chance to turn his life around, after living as an unremarkable Qi Cultivator for his entire life, was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity. He had to seize it and could not afford to miss it.
Qi Tian glanced at Guan Xun and sighed inwardly. He could foresee the great pain Guan Xun would have to endure, but he didn’t have a better thod. On the path of cultivation, so things could be avoided, but so pain was inevitable and had to be borne by the individuals themselves. He hoped that Guan Xun’s willpower was strong enough; otherwise, Guan Xun would likely have no future.
“Brother Guan Xun, are you ready? When you are, wave at ,” Qi Tian said.
Guan Xun looked at the more than thirty top-grade spirit stones embedded in the array, and even though he didn’t understand the workings of the array, he could guess how powerful it was going to be. Despite the array’s trendous power, he was the only one standing within it.
