Qin Tian walked alongside the Fat Man, making their way deeper into Qishan.
"Three old friends are already waiting for us there," the Fat Man said with a lewd grin.
The air grew increasingly hot.
After walking for thirty miles, even Qin Tian was drenched in sweat.
He had no choice but to activate the Protective Divine Light to shield himself from the heatwave.
"If you can't even make it there, it only means you're not the person I'm waiting for," the Fat Man said, not even glancing at Qin Tian, his brow furrowed as he focused on the path ahead.
"Just a small matter," Qin Tian replied lightly, seemingly unconcerned.
After a stick of incense had burned down, they finally stopped at a deep abyss on the mountainside of Qishan.
As they arrived, the previously empty space was suddenly filled with three flickering figures.
Two men and one woman.
"I am surnamed Zhou. May I ask your surname?"
At this moment, the fat man looked at Qin Tian.
"You can just call me Shen," Qin Tian replied, not intending to reveal his real name to them.
"I am Li."
"Zhang."
Among the three, two spoke up.
Only the last man seemed to completely ignore Qin Tian.
"If we really can't find anyone, we can wait until next time. Don't think that just anyone is qualified to come here. If someone holds us back, we're all done for! Don't you know that?"
The last man cast an unhappy glance at Zhou the Cultivator.
Zhou the Cultivator awkwardly smiled and scratched his head.
"Brother Shen, the soul cultivation is decent. Although the flesh cultivation is a bit weak, it's fine. We still have us, right? He only needs to open that place."
As Zhou the Cultivator finished speaking, the last man who had not introduced himself snorted coldly and said, "Alright, I'll trust you this once. Kid, my surname is Xiang."
He spoke impatiently.
After all, Qin Tian's initial stage of Qi Control Realm cultivation was hardly worth his attention.
"Alright, let's get started!"
Among the five, the only woman smiled gently.
It must be said that a woman who loves to smile can never be unattractive.
At first, when Qin Tian saw her, he thought she was just average.
However, with that smile, she instantly gained a few more charms.
"Begin!"
As Zhou the Cultivator's voice fell, the five of them set off towards the seemingly bottomless abyss.
"Brother Li, please take the lead for the first challenge."
Zhou the Cultivator said to Li Man.
Li Man nodded and waved his hand, summoning a large feather fan that appeared beneath them.
It lifted them up as they flew down into the abyss.
A scorching heat surged up from the depths of the chasm.
In that almost suffocating atmosphere, Qin Tian suddenly realized something.
Then, he began to draw the spiritual energy back into his body.
He released his Soul Power.
It condensed into Protective Divine Light.
The suffocating heat finally faded away.
"So, the more I use spiritual energy to resist, the stronger that heat becomes. Conversely, if I use Soul Power to defend, I can block the heat waves. So that's how it is."
Qin Tian was overjoyed.
He had not expected that the secret here was actually Soul Power.
The others seemed to have known this for a long time, appearing calm and composed.
They knew but chose not to share it with him.
This also proved that this alliance was not solid.
Here, hidden treasures awaited.
Everyone wanted to claim them for themselves.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian pretended to be overwhelmed and simply sat down on the ground.
He trembled slightly, as if he could no longer withstand the intense heat.
Seeing this, the Zhang Woman approached him.
"Little brother, isn't your Soul Power quite impressive? Just use it to fend off the heat wave, and you'll be fine."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was speechless.
Why did every woman call him "little brother" when they saw him?
Was he really that small?
Qin Tian awkwardly nodded, then pretended to feel a bit better.
At this moment, the man with the surname Xiang shot a glare at the Zhang Woman.
The two seemed to have some unresolved tension between them.
Then, they each retreated to opposite sides of the feather fan.
Before long, the feather fan descended.
Everyone arrived at the bottom of the abyss.
"Well, from here onward lies the location of the treasure. This second trial depends on you," Zhou the Cultivator said, looking at the Zhang Woman.
The Zhang Woman nodded, her fair and slender fingers trembling continuously.
Then, a chilling aura erupted from her body.
Those standing beside her felt as if they were about to be frozen solid.
"Everyone, retract your Soul Power! Excessive expenditure is not beneficial for what comes next."
The Zhang Woman smiled lightly.
Li Man quickly followed suit and retracted his Soul Power.
Qin Tian furrowed his brows, ultimately concealing his Soul Power silently.
At least, with his achievements in soul cultivation, these people wouldn't be able to detect it.
Sure enough.
They didn't notice anything.
"Let's go!"
The Zhang Woman led the way.
The five of them moved forward, covering a distance of thirty miles.
Finally, they came to a halt in front of a stone gate.
Qin Tian looked around, unsure of where he was.
"We should be at the base of Qishan," Zhou the Cultivator spoke slowly from the side.
Qin Tian turned to him in surprise.
This guy, who seemed to have a physique similar to Fourth Brother, was clearly better at hiding secrets than him.
At least, up until now.
Qin Tian still couldn't see through him.
And the man with the surname Xiang was no different.
He wasn't deliberately targeting Qin Tian.
In fact, among the five-person team, his relationship with Zhang Woman seemed quite poor, almost adversarial.
As for Li Man, he appeared to have no interaction with him at all.
However.
If one truly believed that, they would be gravely mistaken.
He was the one hiding the deepest secrets.
Qin Tian keenly sensed where the problem lay.
It was just that Li Man seemed completely unaware of this.
He even appeared to be quite close to Zhang Woman.
In Qin Tian's eyes, the most dangerous person here was not the man with the surname Xiang, who hid his secrets the deepest, nor was it Zhou the Cultivator, who could conceal his cards so well.
Rather, it was this woman who seemed gentle to everyone.
Anyone who faced her felt as if they were basking in a spring breeze.
However, there was one exception—the man with the surname Xiang. They simply did not resonate with each other.
This itself was suspicious.
"There must be something wrong."
Qin Tian's Soul Power quietly spread out, making it impossible for anyone to see through his thoughts.
Then, he began to search for flaws little by little.
"Alright, Li Lang, shall we go in first?"
As they reached the stone door, Zhang Woman looked gently at Li Man.
"Let's go!"
In his dazed state, he couldn't think of anything else.
He grabbed Zhang Woman and walked into the stone door.
At that moment, the man with the surname Xiang suddenly clenched his fist tightly.
Then, he slowly relaxed it.
He thought he had evaded everyone's notice.
But unexpectedly, Qin Tian saw everything.
Indeed.
At this moment, his suspicions were largely confirmed.
It must be said that these individuals were performing exceptionally well.
If it weren't for a small oversight that had occurred between them,
Qin Tian would undoubtedly have been kept in the dark.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Li Man had not noticed anything amiss.
The stone door opened.
The two of them stepped inside first.
At that moment,
a loud explosion suddenly echoed from within.
As the ground shook violently,
the area where Qin Tian and the others stood before the stone door was on the verge of collapse.
"Not good, we need to get inside quickly."
Zhou the Cultivator urged urgently.
The three of them hurried toward the stone door.
Just then, a piercing scream suddenly came from within.
Then, Qin Tian clearly saw that within the stone gate, a series of bright red figures emerged.
They were the Ancient Beast Phantoms.
In front of those Ancient Beast Phantoms stood Li Man, blocking the way for Zhang Woman.
"The path behind us is collapsing, and in front are the Ancient Beast Phantoms. Brother Xiang, are you not going to make a move?"
As Zhou the Cultivator's words fell, the man with the surname Xiang, who had remained silent and inactive, gently nodded. He stepped forward and charged at the nearby Ancient Beast Phantom.
"Let's go!"
Zhou the Cultivator, Qin Tian, Zhang Woman, and Li Man all rushed toward the distance together.
The man with the surname Xiang took his position at the back, unleashing his formidable personal strength to shatter nearly all of the Ancient Beast Phantoms.
"Li Lang was injured just now, right? This is a Healing Pill given to me by my master."
Zhang Woman earnestly took out a pill from her bosom.
Li Man did not even glance at it and swallowed it directly.
Clearly, he had complete trust in Zhang Woman.
This scene fell into Qin Tian's eyes.
He could only feel pity for Li Man.
In this world, no one could be trusted.
Still too young.
The four of them walked over fifty miles before finally stopping again outside a Bronze Door.
The Bronze Door was engraved with four characters.
Phoenix Cry Qishan.
From within the Bronze Door, a sound like a mournful melody drifted out, incredibly beautiful.
This was the Phoenix Cry!
"This Bronze Door can only be opened with Soul Power. There is no other way, so, Brother Shen, it's your turn to take action," said Zhou the Cultivator, looking at Qin Tian.
"Are we not waiting for Brother Xiang to arrive?"
Qin Tian smiled slightly and then spoke.
"When the Bronze Door opens, he will naturally come."
Zhou the Cultivator replied, "Even I can only guarantee that the Bronze Door will open. As for how long it will stay open, I am not sure. So, let's wait for Brother Xiang to arrive before we go in together."
Qin Tian would never open the Bronze Door now.
Not because they were missing someone.
He sensed the signs of danger.
Clearly, Zhou the Cultivator and Zhang Woman were both a bit anxious.
The two exchanged glances unconsciously. Then, Zhang Woman gently shook her head.
Qin Tian noticed all these details.
The signs of danger grew stronger.
Qin Tian could not afford to expend Soul Power at this moment, putting himself in a passive position.
Suddenly, at that moment, Li Cultivator, who had been safe and sound until now, spat out blood and collapsed to the ground.
Everything happened very abruptly.
"You... you harmed me."
Li Cultivator's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Zhang Woman in horror.
"Li Lang, what are you talking about? Here, no matter how high your Cultivation is, there are many dangers. How can you say that I harmed you?"
Zhang Woman quickly stepped aside.
"The elixir is poisoned."
Thud!
Li Cultivator immediately fell to the ground.
"It seems that by coming this far, you can no longer contain yourselves."
Qin Tian chuckled, glancing at the two instigators who were eager to make their move.
"Since we've come this far, there's nothing to be afraid of. The remaining path is one we three have already figured out. Just open the door with peace of mind, and I will spare your life."
At that moment, a figure slowly approached from a distance.
It was the man with the surname Xiang, who had been standing alone against the Ancient Beast.
"You think you can use me for your purposes? You're dreaming!"
Qin Tian stood with his arms crossed, showing no fear at all.
