8: Arrange for Night Owl to train; an eighth-grade talent disciple appears.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, "That's right, my disciple. Your physique is quite bloodthirsty, and this Slaughter True Scripture is many times stronger than even an Emperor-Grade Cultivation Method. So, when you cultivate, you must guard your heart and not let your mind be confused."

"Yes, Master, this disciple will always remember Master's words." Night Owl bowed, holding the Slaughter True Scripture with a look of shock.

He had heard of Emperor-Grade Cultivation Methods; they were cultivation methods created by Great Emperor Experts, and cultivating them was like having divine assistance.

This Slaughter True Scripture was many times stronger than an Emperor-Grade Cultivation Method. What level could it be?

"Mm, and that bloodthirsty sword, you must keep it safe. You will understand its power in the future," Jiang Chen reminded.

Night Owl's eyes widened, and he nodded, "Master, don't worry, as long as I am here, the sword is here."

"Mm, wait a moment. After I add some things to the sect, you can go cultivate." Jiang Chen glanced at the system backpack, preparing to place the Time Pagoda and a thousand spiritual qi ancestral veins into the sect.

He first took out the Time Pagoda, found an empty spot, and tossed it there.

Immediately, a towering, pale yellow pagoda, reaching into the clouds, stood within the Qingtian Sect.

Then he went into the air, took out a thousand spiritual qi ancestral veins, and infused them into various corners of the Qingtian Sect.

"Roar! Roar!"

As soon as the spiritual qi ancestral veins landed, they transformed into a thousand ethereal dragon bodies, continuously circling and dancing around the Qingtian Sect.

The spiritual qi of the entire sect rapidly increased at a visible speed, and in a short while, it reached an incredible level.

"Hiss, this... spiritual qi, it suddenly became too dense, didn't it?" Night Owl's face flushed red, and he clutched his neck.

He felt like he wasn't breathing spiritual qi, but drinking it, and the kind he couldn't drink fast enough. He even had the illusion of being choked to death by the spiritual qi.

"Disciple, are you alright?" Seeing Night Owl's flushed face, Jiang Chen, who had just landed, was startled.

He quickly dispersed the spiritual qi surging nearby. If his first Personal Disciple were to be choked to death by spiritual qi, then he, as a master, would be too irresponsible.

"Master, I'm fine, I just need to adapt," Night Owl quickly said.

How could anyone be choked to death by spiritual qi? It was just that the spiritual qi had suddenly surged, and he couldn't adapt immediately; he would be fine after a moment.

After Night Owl returned to normal, Jiang Chen led him to the base of the Time Pagoda, pointing to the tower, "Disciple, this tower is called the Time Pagoda. The flow of time inside is a thousand times faster than outside. From now on, whenever you want to cultivate, go in here, understand?"

"Yes... Master." Night Owl swallowed, replying somewhat stammering.

The shock Jiang Chen brought him today was simply too much.

First, the Slaughter True Scripture, which surpassed Emperor-Grade Cultivation Methods, then spiritual qi denser than water, and now a treasure that could change the flow of time. His mind was struggling to keep up.

[Ding, an eight-grade talent disciple has been discovered, evaluated as an Inner Sect Disciple. Host, quickly bring her into the sect.]

Just as Jiang Chen was arranging Night Owl's cultivation, the system's broadcast sounded.

"Eight-grade talent?" Jiang Chen paused.

This talent just met the standard for an Inner Sect Disciple, meaning an epic treasure chest had already appeared.

However, he couldn't accept this disciple as a Direct Disciple; she could only be brought back as an Inner Sect Disciple. He needed to consider how to arrange things.

"Mm, I'll bring her back first, then have Li Big Saber or other powerful experts summoned later teach her. I can even be a hands-off boss, hehe, I'm truly too smart."

Jiang Chen secretly chuckled, looking at the somewhat dazed Night Owl, he said, "Disciple, don't just stand there foolishly, go in and cultivate quickly. I have urgent matters to attend to."

As his voice fell, he vanished from the spot.

Seeing Jiang Chen leave, Night Owl calmed his emotions and slowly stepped into the Time Pagoda.

If he didn't cultivate quickly in such a heaven-defying environment, then he would be an utterly foolish person.

This was a place that countless people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

In a small forest outside Feihe City in Yun Prefecture.

A beautiful young girl, dressed in a blue long dress, pure and ethereal, ran in a panic.

She ran while looking back, as if something was chasing her.

"Qin Fei'er, you can't escape. You'd best obediently come back with us, otherwise, the cooperation between your Qin Family and our Li Family will immediately terminate." Four cultivators in white guard uniforms followed closely behind the girl.

They always kept a few meters away from the girl, completely unafraid of her slipping away.

Qin Fei'er's face was full of anger. While running, she turned her head and shouted, "You wish! I'd rather die than marry Li Xing! The cooperation is between your Li Family and my elder uncle; why use me as a bargaining chip?"

After speaking, Qin Fei'er's legs kicked rapidly, and she instantly vanished from their sight.

Seeing this, the faces of several people darkened.

One of the guards impatiently said to the scar-faced cultivator leading them, "Captain, stop playing games with her. Let's just use force. Whether she lives or dies, if she dies, we'll just bring back the corpse to report."

They had chased Qin Fei'er for dozens of miles, and whenever they were about to catch her, she threatened to commit suicide.

If they weren't afraid of having trouble explaining to their young master upon returning, they would have tied Qin Fei'er up long ago.

"This..., she is the person our young master has been longing for. If she accidentally dies, and the young master gets angry, we'll be in deep trouble." The scar-faced cultivator hesitated.

His young master had coveted Qin Fei'er for a long time, and only by using family influence did the Qin Family agree to betroth Qin Fei'er.

However, with the wedding day approaching, Qin Fei'er secretly ran away from the Qin Family, infuriating his young master who sent them to capture Qin Fei'er and bring her back.

"Brother, you're confused! If we can't bring her back, we won't just be in deep trouble; we won't even be able to eat! Let's take a gamble; our chances of winning are still very high." Another guard showed an expression of hating iron for not becoming steel.

Qin Fei'er was only at the sixth level of Qi Gathering cultivation, while they were all at the peak of Qi Gathering, and the captain was even at the second level of Core Condensation. If they cooperated well, there was a high chance of subduing Qin Fei'er before she could commit suicide.

"That's right, I only thought about not letting her die just now, and didn't consider this point."

The scar-faced cultivator gave an awkward smile and earnestly patted the guard who spoke, "Your brain is getting sharper and sharper, I'll have to let you be captain sooner or later."

After speaking, the scar-faced cultivator's expression turned cold, and he waved his hand at the other two, "Follow me. When we make our move, be quick, accurate, and ruthless. It's best to keep her unharmed. If not, rather cripple her than let her die."

"Yes, Captain." The other two guards respectfully acknowledged the order.

Soon, the few of them used their cultivation to catch up to Qin Fei'er and surrounded her.

"Don't come any closer! If you take another step, I'll die right here for you to see, and then Li Xing won't let you off!" Qin Fei'er threatened, holding a short sword to her neck.

"Hehe, Miss Fei'er, we've run out of patience. If you want to die, then die. We'll just take your corpse back." The scar-faced cultivator was nonchalant, slowly approaching Qin Fei'er.

The other three also moved closer to Qin Fei'er.

"Father, Mother, your daughter is unfilial and can no longer accompany you." Qin Fei'er sobbed softly, preparing to commit suicide.

Since she couldn't escape, she would rather die than marry Li Xing.

"Little Girl, don't be impulsive. There's still room for negotiation." Just as Qin Fei'er was about to commit suicide, Jiang Chen appeared beside them in time.

"Wow, what a handsome young master!" Looking at Jiang Chen's extremely handsome face, Qin Fei'er momentarily forgot she was about to commit suicide and became infatuated.
