Special Expert of Beauty CEO

"Recently, there's been a meteor falling on Ghost Island along the coast of East State. It's said to contain many treasures. The righteous sects, evil sects, and the East Sea Dragon Clan, all major factions have sent numerous people to go treasure hunting. You have three months' time; how about going to Ghost Island for some training?"

Qiao Zheng looked at Qin Tian and said, "Of course, Ghost Island is located at the junction of the East State and East Sea. Various factions have infiltrated Ghost Island, and it is highly dangerous."

"The reason I want you to go to Ghost Island isn't necessarily for you to obtain any treasures, nor to put you in a dangerous situation. You've been in the Qilin Mountain Sect for a long time without going far afield, and your Jiang Hu experience is too little. I'm afraid you would suffer losses when you go to East Han Academy and encounter various people."

"Rather than that, why not voluntarily go for some training, gain experience, see the various treacheries of human nature, and take precautions."

Qiao Zheng spoke very earnestly, like a senior giving sincere advice to Qin Tian before a journey.

Qin Tian also listened seriously, nodding.

However, he found it amusing.

Qiao Zheng actually regarded him as someone who had never traveled far, wasn't that too unusual?

Qin Tian couldn't help laughing and crying to himself, thinking, 'I set out on Jiang Hu even before I was ten, have seen various human treacheries, traversed tropical rainforests, crossed unprecedented deserts, and braved storms of bullets and arrows... You could say, following Master Cao Taiji, I've experienced everything. How could I be considered inexperienced?'

However, regarding Qiao Zheng's good intentions, Qin Tian gladly agreed, "Alright, I'll follow Master's arrangements."

He was just worried about not having a good plan for the next three months. Going out for some training, seeing East State, and exploring the Spiritual Domain was something Qin Tian couldn't have hoped for more.

"Who am I going with?" Qin Tian asked.

"You're going alone."

Qiao Zheng said, "Going alone is the greatest training. You'll have to solve everything yourself. If I go with you, you'd form a dependency. If others go with you, they might hold you back. Going alone is best."

When they decided on going, the next early morning, Qin Tian quietly said goodbye to Qiao Wenxuan, then parted with Qiao Zheng at the foot of the Left Pulse Mountain.

"Qin Tian, remember, in Jiang Hu, you can't trust anyone, only yourself."

Before departing, Qiao Zheng warned Qin Tian.

Qin Tian took a map, one man and one sword, journeying with his sword.

However, the slightly troubling thing was, Qin Tian's current Sword Control Technique was still at the beginner stage. He could perform Sword Flight, but for each flight, it lasted at most about half an hour before he'd feel his True Qi was a bit uncontrollable, necessitating landing and resting for ten-odd minutes before continuing.

Not comparable to seasoned veterans, Qin Tian could only walk and fly alternately, heading east all the way.

By noon, Qin Tian looked at the map and saw he was only about two hundred miles from Ghost Island. He immediately decided to stop using Sword Flight for the remaining distance.

After all, coming out for training, one must experience the local customs of East State.

"East Sea City, hehe, this city, should be the largest city at the junction of East State and East Sea. Once I pass through East Sea City, it's the strait, and Ghost Island is a few hundred miles offshore."

Qin Tian paused outside an ancient city, watching the flow of people coming and going. It felt somewhat unreal because these people wore clothes resembling ancient costumes, making him feel like he was in a wuxia drama.

Qin Tian entered East Sea City. The city was at least ten times larger than Qilin City, with all kinds of shops and restaurants, and the population seemed seven or eight times more than Qilin City.

He wandered around eating various snacks, watching street performances, planning to tour East Sea City for two days before heading out to Ghost Island.

"Stop there, brat!"

"Thief! Catch him!"

While Qin Tian was sampling delicious food at a barbecue stall, a loud shouting suddenly erupted not far from his side.

Qin Tian looked sideways, and before he could react, he saw a white-clad youth agilely running towards him!

The white-clad youth was slender with fair skin, and long hair tied up, resembling a pretty boy.

"Eh, not right, a bit protruding in the front... Damn, it's a girl?"

Although Qin Tian had seen countless people, he instantly recognized that this person was a woman disguised as a man!

This cross-dressing was child's play in front of Qin Tian, but those men chasing the girl seemed not to have noticed.

The white-clad woman dodged left and right, incredibly swift, Qin Tian squinted and saw that this movement technique surpassed his Wave Striding Technique by countless folds, simply seconds to kill!

"Damn, this girl, running so fast? Any guy who can catch up to her would be amazing..."

Qin Tian observed that not only was this white-clad girl quick, but even the three men chasing her were also running with lightning speed, revealing that their strength was at least at the Qi Refining Peak or above!

"Big cities are indeed big cities, people with high cultivation are as plentiful as feathers."

While Qin Tian guessed at the cultivation levels of the three burly men, he couldn't gauge the girl in front, having an unfathomable feeling about her.

The white-clad girl charged forward swiftly; everyone automatically moved aside, except for Qin Tian, who was in a daze holding a skewer of grilled meat, not responding in time—

He was indeed standing by the roadside, assuming the white-clad girl would naturally brush past him.

"Move aside! You! Move aside!"

When she was less than a mile from Qin Tian, the white-clad girl shouted at him.

Qin Tian snapped back, quickly stepping back.

After all, being outside, not knowing the girl's identity, he didn't intend to intervene recklessly.

Woosh!

Thud!

However, even as Qin Tian cooperatively stepped aside, the white-clad girl still bumped shoulder to shoulder with him!

A fragrant breeze brushed past!

But before Qin Tian could savor it, surprised by the girl's collision, he quickly gathered True Qi to form a protective shield!

What surprised Qin Tian, however, was that despite the girl's speed, when she hit his shoulder, it was just a gentle bump, and he barely felt any pain!

"Strange, this girl clearly barreled in at such speed..."

Qin Tian touched his shoulder, somewhat dazed.

Watching the white-clad girl disappear into the distance, the scene of the three burly men closely pursuing, he sniffed as if the girl's lingering high-class perfume remained in the air.

The street returned to its bustle, and Qin Tian prepared to continue eating his skewer, but when he reached for the Gold from his Spatial Bag to pay, he froze—

The Spatial Bag he carried was gone!

"Damn!"

Qin Tian cursed, "I've never lost anything. How could this happen... a few minutes ago I just bought a duck leg, just within these few minutes, could it be a thief... hiss!"

Thinking of something, Qin Tian's eyes suddenly widened in anger!
