I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

The chase lasted for a long time, and Zhao Qi had already gone deep into the dense forest.

It was pitch black all around, with only the faint starlight shining through the treetops, barely enough to illuminate the way ahead.

Just when Zhao Qi was about to lose his patience, the black shadow suddenly stopped.

Zhao Qi also stopped and looked ahead vigilantly. He saw a figure covered in black standing not far away, staring at Zhao Qi quietly.

"Who are you? Why did you sneak into my Qi Tian Sect late at night?" Zhao Qi asked in a deep voice. His voice echoed in the night sky, sounding particularly clear.

The man in black didn't answer, but just sneered and turned to leave. Zhao Qi would never let him escape so easily, and he flashed and blocked the man in black's way.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Zhao Qi said coldly, while circulating his true energy, ready to take action at any time.

Seeing this, the man in black was not to be outdone. A strong aura emanated from him, and he confronted Zhao Qi. The atmosphere between the two men suddenly became tense.

However, at this moment, the man in black suddenly did an unexpected action - he actually took out a steamed bun from his arms and took a big bite!
Zhao Qi was stunned. He never expected that this mysterious man in black would eat steamed buns at such a critical moment!

This sudden action made the originally tense atmosphere instantly become a little weird.

"You...what are you eating?" Zhao Qi couldn't help but ask.

"Hey, I'm hungry. I'll eat a steamed bun to replenish my energy." The man in black said as he ate, his tone revealing a sense of relaxation and comfort.

Zhao Qi was speechless. He had never encountered such a strange opponent.

But this also made him realize that this man in black was not simple. Anyone who could still have the mood to eat steamed buns in such a tense situation was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Since you are hungry, just eat first." Zhao Qi said slowly, while restraining his true energy and waiting quietly.

The man in black didn't hesitate and finished the steamed bun in a few bites. Then he clapped his hands and turned around and disappeared into the night.

This sudden incident made Zhao Qi realize that the sect’s security needed to be further strengthened.

He decided to strengthen the sect's patrol and defense forces to ensure the sect's safety. At the same time, he began to think about the deeper meaning behind this contest.

In the Qitian Sect's clothing workshop, Bai Wei was busy. Her fingers were as nimble as flying, and the needle and thread danced in her hands, as if they had life.

The disciples of the sect were watching nearby, exclaiming in amazement from time to time.

"Senior Sister Bai Wei, your craftsmanship is amazing!" a disciple exclaimed sincerely.

Bai Wei smiled slightly, but she didn't stop moving her hands. "Thank you for the compliment. It's nothing. As long as you work hard, everyone can make beautiful clothes."

At this moment, a naughty disciple suddenly reached out to touch the cloth in Bai Wei's hand, "Senior Sister, this cloth is so smooth, is it very expensive?"

Bai Wei dodged the disciple's hand lightly and pouted in pretending to be angry, "Oh, you will wrinkle my cloth! This cloth is indeed not cheap, but more importantly, it can provide better protection for our sect disciples."

The disciples nodded in agreement. Bai Wei's craftsmanship was not only exquisite, but more importantly, she was dedicated and passionate about the sect.

Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside, "Junior Sister Bai Wei, how is your cooking? I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Bai Wei looked up and saw that it was Sect Leader Zhao Qi who walked in.

She quickly stood up and saluted, "Master, why are you here? My cooking skills are still far from perfect, I dare not embarrass myself in front of you."

Zhao Qi laughed, "Junior Sister Bai Wei, you are too modest. I have heard of your skills for a long time, and I came here today to see them for myself."

As he spoke, he walked to Bai Wei's workbench and carefully examined the fabric in her hands and the nearly finished dress. "Well, not bad, not bad! The tailoring and workmanship of this dress are both first-class."

Bai Wei felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. She lowered her head, smiled, and continued to concentrate on her sewing work.

Zhao Qizhe watched quietly from the side, occasionally offering some suggestions and guidance.

The atmosphere in the clothing room became more and more harmonious, and the disciples began to discuss the new clothes.

Some people say that the color combination of the new clothes is really beautiful, some people say that the styles of the new clothes are really fashionable, and some people say that they will be more motivated to practice after putting on new clothes!
Just as everyone was discussing it, Bai Wei suddenly stopped what she was doing and smiled mysteriously, "Do you want to see how the new clothes look when you put them on?"

All the disciples cheered in unison, "Yes!"

So, Bai Wei took out a few finished new clothes and asked several disciples to try them on.

The disciples wearing the new clothes were all full of energy and looked very heroic, attracting envious glances from other disciples.

Zhao Qi also nodded repeatedly, "Great! These new clothes are not only beautiful, but also very practical. Junior Sister Bai Wei, you have really made a great contribution to the sect!"

Bai Wei smiled modestly, "Master, you are too kind. I just did what I should do."

The laughter and joy in the garment room spread throughout the entire Qi Tian Sect.

In the days that followed, Bai Wei continued to lead her disciples in making new clothes, and the disciples of the Qi Tian Sect also wore these beautiful and practical new clothes, and worked harder to practice and temper themselves.

Inside the secret room, the dim light barely illuminated the surroundings. The walls were covered with all kinds of strange puppets, hanging quietly, as if waiting for something.

This is the core area of ​​the Blood Puppet Sect, and only the sect's top leaders can enter.

At this time, there were two people sitting in the secret room. One was Wu Hanjiang, an elder of the Blood Puppet Sect. He had a gloomy face and a cunning light in his eyes.

The other one is Chen Xueshou. He is big and strong, with his arms covered with various scars, looking very ferocious.

"Elder Wu, what is the important matter that you want to talk to me about?" Chen Xueshou was the first to break the silence, his voice hoarse and low.

Wu Hanjiang smiled slightly, and that smile looked a little strange under the dim light. "Brother Chen, I asked you to come here because I have something important to discuss with you."

As he spoke, Wu Hanjiang took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Xueshou.

Chen Xueshou took the secret letter suspiciously, unfolded it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "This is..."

"That's right," Wu Hanjiang said, "This is the internal information of Qi Tian Sect. As far as I know, they will have a batch of important supplies delivered in the near future. We can take advantage of this opportunity to make a move."

Chen Xueshou frowned, "The Qitian Sect is quite powerful. If we act rashly like this, we might get into trouble."

Wu Hanjiang snorted contemptuously, "Brother Chen, you underestimate our Blood Puppet Sect too much. We have plenty of means to catch them off guard." Having said that, Wu Hanjiang stood up, walked to a puppet, and gently patted it. The puppet suddenly came to life and began to move flexibly.

"See? This is our secret weapon. As long as we hide these puppets inside the Qitian Sect, we can give them a surprise at the critical moment."

Chen Xueshou looked at those lifelike puppets, with a gleam of greed in his eyes.
"This... This is amazing! If we can master this technology, who in the world can be our opponent?"

Wu Hanjiang laughed triumphantly, "Haha, Brother Chen is absolutely right. However, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. The most urgent task is how to use these puppets to create some trouble for the Qi Tian Sect."

The two smiled at each other, and the secret room was filled with conspiracy. They began to discuss the plan in detail, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

The sun had just passed over the top of the mountain, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the majestic mountain gate of Qi Tian Sect, as if covering this ancient sect with a layer of golden coat.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the reception room of Qi Tian Sect was completely different from this quiet morning.

"Master, Feng Qianjiao, a female official from the Holy Maiden Palace, is here to visit." A disciple came hurriedly to report.

Zhao Qi was slightly stunned, then he smiled meaningfully, "Oh? Feng Qianjiao? Please invite her in."

After a while, the door of the reception room slowly opened, and a graceful woman in red walked in.

She had a pretty face and a heroic look between her brows. She was Feng Qianjiao, a female official in the Holy Maiden Palace.

"It is an honor for my humble abode to have you, Miss Feng." Zhao Qi stepped forward and bowed.

Feng Qianjiao covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sect Master Zhao is too polite. I came here today to discuss important matters with you."

"Oh? What's the important matter?" Zhao Qi asked curiously.

Feng Qianjiao said solemnly: "Recently, our Saint Maiden Hall received news that there are hostile forces that intend to harm our two factions. I think we should strengthen cooperation and jointly deal with this crisis."

Zhao Qi frowned when he heard this. "Is this true? I wonder if Lady Feng has any specific plans?"

Feng Qianjiao smiled slightly and took out a blueprint from her sleeve. "This is the diagram of the defensive formation of my Saint Maiden Hall. If we can combine this formation with the Qi Tian Sect's mountain protection formation, it will definitely greatly enhance our defensive capabilities."

Zhao Qi took the blueprint and studied it carefully. He secretly admired in his heart: This Saint Maiden Hall is indeed worthy of its reputation. This defensive formation is extremely exquisite. If we can cooperate with it, it will be of great benefit to Qi Tian Sect.

However, he remained calm on the surface, "Official Feng's suggestion is very good. However, this matter still needs to be discussed with the elders of the sect before a response can be given."

Feng Qianjiao nodded, "Of course. However, I have another unwelcome request, and I hope Sect Master Zhao can agree to it."

"Oh? Please go ahead." Zhao Qi looked at her curiously.

Feng Qianjiao opened her red lips and said, "My Saint Maiden Palace will hold a grand banquet in the near future. I hope that Sect Master Zhao can come and attend."

Zhao Qi heard this, and a sly light flashed in his eyes. "Since it is such a grand event, how can I miss it? But..." He paused deliberately, "If I go, what benefits will it bring?"

Feng Qianjiao didn't expect Zhao Qi to tease her like this. She was stunned at first, and then she laughed.

"Master Zhao is really a quick-witted person. In this case, I will reveal a piece of news to you: a mysterious treasure will appear at the banquet."

"Mysterious treasure?" Zhao Qi's eyes suddenly lit up. "In that case, I have to go."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and joyful. They continued to discuss some details of the cooperation until the sun was setting, and Feng Qianjiao got up to say goodbye.

Zhao Qi sent Feng Qianjiao to the gate of the mountain. Looking at her receding back, he secretly thought in his heart: This cooperation may bring unexpected gains to the Qi Tian Sect.

The mysterious treasure mentioned by Feng Qianjiao made him even more excited. He had to go to this banquet no matter what.

In the Qi Tian Sect's training ground, sunlight shone through the cracks and fell onto the ground in patches, and a faint spiritual energy permeated the air.

Han Feng stood in the center of the field with a frown on his face. He was trying to break through the bottleneck of his cultivation.

"Han Feng, relax and let nature take its course." The voice of Sect Master Zhao Qi sounded in Han Feng's ears. He had been standing aside at some point, looking at the young disciple with a smile on his face.

Han Feng took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement. He closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing. Gradually, he felt as if he had merged with the surrounding spiritual energy.

However, whenever he tried to break through that invisible barrier, he always failed.

"Hey, Han Feng, are you too nervous?" Zhao Qi joked, "Why don't you go have a cup of tea first, relax a little, and then come back to try again?"

Han Feng opened his eyes, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Sect Master, I feel like I'm just a little bit short, as if something is blocking me."

Zhao Qi nodded, his expression becoming serious. "This is the bottleneck of cultivation. You need to find the breakthrough point. Everyone's breakthrough method is different. Perhaps you should try to think in a different way."

Han Feng lowered his head thoughtfully, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

He closed his eyes again and began to guide the spiritual energy according to the new ideas. This time, he felt that his connection with the spiritual energy was closer.

At this moment, Zhao Qi suddenly shouted: "Han Feng, be careful!"

Han Feng suddenly opened his eyes and saw a black shadow quickly approaching him.

He subconsciously dodged to the side, only to find that the shadow was actually a paper crane with a few words written on it: "Congratulations on your breakthrough!"

Han Feng was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized and laughed, "So the Sect Master is testing me!"

Zhao Qi also laughed, "Not bad, not bad. Being able to stay alert at critical moments shows that your state of mind has improved. Now, do you feel that you have broken through the bottleneck?"

Han Feng felt the flow of spiritual energy in his body and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was indeed smoother than before. "Yes, Sect Master! I feel like I have made a breakthrough!"

"That's good," Zhao Qi patted Han Feng on the shoulder, "Remember, the road of cultivation is long, don't rush for quick success. Only by taking steady steps can you go further."

Han Feng nodded solemnly, "Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master!"

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the training ground became relaxed and joyful.

Han Feng finally broke through the bottleneck of cultivation, and he was full of expectations for his future. And Zhao Qi also believed that this young disciple would go further on the road of cultivation in the future. (End of this chapter)
