Wu Tian glanced at the young cultivator who spoke but did not respond to him. Instead, he turned to Qi Xiangyue and sincerely said, "I apologize for my unintentional offense to the young lady just now. Please forgive me."

When Qi Xiangyue saw her senior brother come out and scold Wu Tian, she felt a sense of unease. Wasn't he pushing him towards the Yuanqi Gate?

However, after hearing Wu Tian's explanation, she let out a sigh of relief. She looked slightly annoyed at her senior brother before turning to Wu Tian and saying, "It's okay. My senior brothers were only concerned about me earlier, so please don't blame them."

Upon hearing that the other party didn't blame him, Wu Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems like you guys are fighting over the mineral vein below. Although I'm only in the late Yuan Ying stage, I can help you take it first and wait for your sect to arrive."

When the people from the Baiye Sect heard Wu Tian's words, they all showed joy on their faces, except for the young man who had just blocked Wu Tian, who snorted coldly.

"Thank you on behalf of the Baiye Sect," Qi Xiangyue said with a grateful smile. With Wu Tian's help, they could finally take the mineral vein. Her master would be very happy, and the Baiye Sect could cultivate more disciples and soon surpass the Yuanqi Gate.

"You're welcome," Wu Tian was about to say something when a young cultivator in the early Yuan Ying stage from the Yuanqi Gate stood up and said, "Oh, you guys seem to be getting along well? I didn't know when the daughter of the Grandmaster of the Baiye Sect became so fickle. You just met and are already so friendly and happy. Are you trying to make her the daughter-in-law of your Baiye Sect? Haha..."

The people from the Yuanqi Gate laughed loudly without any restraint.

Wu Tian was about to retort when Qi Xiangyue's senior brother flew out with a look of anger on his face. "You're asking for it... how dare you say that about my junior sister!" He attacked the young cultivator with his flying sword.

"Good, I've been wanting to see the Guigen Swordsmanship of your Baiye Sect. Today, I'll learn it from you," the young cultivator said as he engaged in a fight with Qi Xiangyue's senior brother.

It was Wu Tian's first time witnessing a PK between cultivators. He looked on curiously, studying their moves. However, he quickly lost interest as their movements were too slow. The flying sword flew for a long time without hitting anything, and their spells had little effect. Was this the extent of a battle between cultivators?

This is just too low level. As he looked around at the people from the Baiye Sect watching their senior brothers' competition, each with a look of admiration on their face, Wu Tian couldn't help feeling like an outsider. He tried to watch more carefully, but still couldn't see any real "technical content".

As Qi Xiangyue watched her senior brother compete, she also kept an eye on Wu Tian. She was slightly surprised to see that Wu Tian didn't seem to appreciate her senior brother's swordsmanship at all.

Her senior brother, Lu Shi, was a rare genius who had even impressed their father with his mastery of the Guiyuan Sword Technique. With time, it was not impossible for him to enter the Nascent Soul realm. Although Wu Tian was currently only in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, it was not necessarily true that he would lose if he were to compete with Lu Shi using the Guiyuan Sword Technique. Qi Xiangyue found this strange and asked, "Wu Brother doesn't seem to be interested in my senior brother's swordsmanship."

Wu Tian was bored watching their competition and had no idea what Qi Xiangyue was thinking. He was suddenly brought back to reality by her question and quickly realized that he had said something inappropriate. He felt embarrassed and replied, "No, no, Qi Junior Sister. Your junior brother's swordsmanship is excellent. I just don't understand swordsmanship, so I can't really appreciate it. Hehe, please don't blame me."

Wu Tian now knew that in the world of cultivation, people at the same level as himself were called senior brothers and junior brothers, while those one level higher were called seniors, such as Nascent Soul cultivators being addressed as seniors by those in the Foundation Establishment realm. It was only when one encountered someone in the Soul Formation realm that they were referred to as seniors.

It took many cultivators a long time to reach the Nascent Soul or Soul Formation realm, but there were also many geniuses who achieved it quickly. However, none of them could compare to Wu Tian, who had only taken 10 years. It was truly shocking.

As Qi Xiangyue watched Wu Tian's embarrassed expression, she knew what he was thinking and secretly guessed his identity. It was then that Lu Fei suddenly roared and shot a powerful sword qi with his flying sword, instantly attacking a disciple of the Yuanqi Sect. The disciple realized it was too late and had to use his flying sword to block the attack.

The man was pushed back several hundred meters and only stopped after spitting out a mouthful of blood. With an angry face, he said, "Okay, okay, the Guiyuan Sword Technique is really powerful. I will learn from Senior Brother Lu's advanced techniques next time. Humph..." He flew towards Lu Qiping, showing a ashamed expression. Lu Qiping cursed in his heart, and the man was pushed to the back.

Lu Qiping stepped forward, looked at Qi Xiangyue, then at Wu Tian, and said kindly, "I heard that Junior Sister Qi is also one of the top experts in the Baiye Sect. I wonder if I can learn from her."

Qi Xiangyue stepped forward and looked at Lu Qiping slightly. "Senior Brother Lu's Tianzong Sword Technique is also wonderful. This is a good opportunity to learn from each other. I hope Senior Brother Lu won't hesitate to teach me."

Lu Qiping saw Qi Xiangyue come forward, and there was a fanaticism in his eyes. "Please..."

A five-foot flying sword flew out of Lu Qiping's mouth, surrounded by protection. He took out a defensive magic treasure. Wu Tian looked closely and saw that it seemed quite powerful.

When Lu Qiping took out the Jiuyuan Cover, everyone from the Baiye Sect took a cold breath. The Jiuyuan Cover? This thing is so valuable, and he actually uses it?

When Qi Xiangyue saw Lu Qiping take out the Jiuyuan Cover, her face turned pale with fear. This guy is really favored in the Yuanqi Sect. This thing is probably the treasure of the Yuanqi Sect. Lu Qiping has this thing for defense. How can I break through it? How can I fight?

Wu Tian saw the people of the Baiye Sect looking frustrated. He was a little surprised. Can this mid-tier treasure make you helpless? That's not possible.

Wu Tian didn't know that he was from the Tianyan Sect, a famous martial arts sect. They would not fight to the death for a treasure like these small sects. They would not even fight for a low-grade immortal stone mine.

Looking at the five-foot flying sword protecting Qi Xiangyue, Wu Tian's inspiration flashed, and he flew towards Qi Xiangyue, saying, "Junior Sister Qi, I can't help you in the competition. This flying sword is for you." Wu Tian took out a three-foot flying sword from his Qifan Ring, which emitted a faint spiritual energy. When everyone saw this flying sword, they were shocked, and their greedy eyes immediately fell on the sword.

Wu Tian was very depressed. His own flying sword was scrapped, and he couldn't feel the preciousness of these flying swords. However, for these small sects, a three-foot flying sword meant a lot. This didn't need to be explained.

Qi Xiangyue took the flying sword blankly. She still couldn't understand why Senior Brother Wu casually gave her a top-grade flying sword. Everyone else was anxious about it.

"Senior Brother Wu, this gift is too heavy. I can't accept it." Qi Xiangyue immediately handed the flying sword back to Wu Tian. This made her fellow disciples very anxious.

"But..." Before Qi Xiangyue could speak, the senior brothers beside her immediately interjected, "Senior Sister, you should accept it. This is Brother Wu's heartfelt gesture."

Qi Xiangyue gave them a glare, and they immediately fell silent. Upon hearing her words, Wu Tian nodded slightly and took a step back. "Senior Brother, I'll wait for you to return triumphantly," he said.

Qi Xiangyue knew that Wu Tian had sincerely given her his flying sword. She was overjoyed and gazed at him with soft eyes. "Then Xiangyue will accept it. Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother. I'll write to you after I come back from the battle," she said.

When Lu Fei saw Wu Tian give Qi Xiangyue his flying sword, he was slightly jealous, but he didn't say anything and just looked at his junior sister with envy.

Wu Tian saw that Lu Fei didn't really envy him for his junior sister and nodded slightly. He had grown fond of Lu Fei, and he knew how Lu Fei felt about Qi Xiangyue. But these things were all fleeting for him, and he never really held any grudges against anyone, including Luo Qiping.

He stood beside Lu Fei, waiting for Qi Xiangyue's performance.

At that moment, Wu Tian was surprised to see more than thirty cultivators flying towards the mine from the direction of the teleportation array.

Both sides sensed their arrival and immediately focused their attention on the group, trying to guess which side they were from.
