Wu Tian clenched his fist, his strength and physical condition having mostly recovered.
He then got out of bed and said to Gong Chunling, "Sect Leader Gong, what's the situation now? There shouldn't be any major issues, right?"
Gong Chunling nodded and said, "Thanks to you, the crisis within the sect has been completely resolved."
"Xu Qingsong has also been thrown into the dungeon, and we are discussing how to deal with him."
"The formation core has been returned, and the sect protection formation has been completely stabilized."
"I see," Wu Tian nodded. "That's good. However, the repair of the plaza will be up to you. Saying 'repair' is practically the same as rebuilding, isn't it?"
Gong Chunling handed the bowl of porridge to Wu Tian, then said with a wry smile, "There's no other way. Reconstruction is already being prepared, and it will begin in full soon."
"But these are minor matters. Being able to thwart Xu Qingsong's plot is already a great fortune."
Wu Tian drank down the bowl of porridge in one gulp, then wiped his mouth and said, "Yes, it's fortunate I came this time. If I had arrived a few days later, after he seized power, I wouldn't even know how to proceed with my test."
Gong Chunling smiled, then asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Wu Tian, you truly surprise me."
"Even our sect protection formation had no effect on you. How do you possess such strength?"
Hearing this question, Wu Tian also gave a wry smile.
He said, "It's not that it had no effect. Wasn't I quite miserable? If not for a slight accident, my grave might already be three inches tall with grass."
Gong Chunling was slightly taken aback and was amused by Wu Tian's words.
She then continued, "Since you mentioned an accident, I'm very curious about what it was. How did the sect protection formation suddenly lose its effect on you?"
"Well..." Wu Tian didn't want to explain too much, and he himself didn't quite understand the reason.
So he could only say, "My body underwent some subtle changes. As for the specific details, I won't elaborate further."
Hearing this, Gong Chunling wisely stopped asking and said, "Alright, then this matter is settled."
"However, Wu Tian, you've helped us immensely. For our Lingzhen Sect, you are undoubtedly a great benefactor."
"From now on, whatever help you need, our Lingzhen Sect will do its utmost. You only need to say the word."
Wu Tian did not refuse this, but nodded and smiled, "I understand. If that day truly comes, I certainly won't be polite."
Gong Chunling smiled and said, "That's good. How are you feeling now?"
"If you haven't recovered yet, you can stay with us until your body is fully recuperated."
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader Gong, but honestly, my body has almost recovered. I need to complete my next test, so I won't be staying here any longer."
"Is that so," Gong Chunling nodded and said, "Alright then. However, I believe with your abilities, passing the tests of the Five Sects and Six Teachings won't be too difficult. You must visit us when you have time in the future."
Wu Tian smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will."
After their conversation, Wu Tian left the Lingzhen Sect.
His trip to the Lingzhen Sect had brought him immense gains.
In fact, he hadn't mentioned it, but with the effect of the Sacred Dragon Pearl, his spiritual energy level had broken through to the seventh level, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
He was now one step closer to Su Qiannai.
He felt that if he continued like this, with the dual enhancement of the Heavenly Thunder Scripture and the Swift Thunder Swordplay, truly surpassing Su Qiannai might not be such a difficult task.
After leaving the Lingzhen Sect, Wu Tian took a plane to his next destination.
The place he was going next was called the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, which, as the name suggested, was a place dedicated to the research of poisons.
The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect had a long history and was said to be the most skilled organization in poison research among secular forces.
Wu Tian soon reached his destination, but he didn't go directly to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. Instead, he booked a room in the city and rested well.
He slept for a full day. When he opened his eyes, it was already dark outside, and he was hungry.
So he left the hotel, grabbed a simple meal outside, and then wandered around.
The city was still very lively at night, with people coming and going, lights blazing, and a vibrant atmosphere.
As Wu Tian strolled along, he suddenly spotted an antique market.
Wu Tian wasn't particularly interested in antiques before, but after acquiring his x-ray vision, he had developed some interest in them. Therefore, upon seeing the antique market, he couldn't help but walk in.
Even at night, the antique market was still very bustling.
Various stalls were set up along the roadside, and the sounds of hawking could be heard everywhere, much like during the day.
Wu Tian walked and looked, the quality of all the goods exposed under the scan of his x-ray vision.
As he looked, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
It seemed that antique markets across the country were all the same. Looking around, there were fakes everywhere, and essentially nothing worth buying.
With so many people browsing the antique market, who knew how many would be deceived.
However, Wu Tian had nothing to remind them about this, as after all, how many people who truly frequented such places didn't know the depth of the antique market's deception?
But they all held onto a glimmer of hope, always believing they possessed discerning eyes to spot genuine treasures and acquire them at low prices, selling them at high ones.
In the end, such people were no different from gamblers.
After all, gamblers always believe they will win. If you try to dissuade them, they might even think you're blocking their path to wealth and might even get aggressive.
But where were there so many treasures in the world? Picking up a bargain was a one-in-ten-thousand, or even one-in-a-hundred-thousand chance. Therefore, it was better for people to be more grounded.
After circling the antique market, Wu Tian hadn't found anything good.
Feeling a bit disappointed, he decided to return to his hotel and read novels.
However, just as he turned to leave, something suddenly caught his eye.
He was startled, then looked closely at the item again.
After confirming its value, he immediately developed a strong interest.
He pretended to be casually browsing and walked over to the stall, then asked the vendor, "Hello, how much for this?"
