Qin Feng took the jade token and looked at Qingchen the old Taoist with curiosity. He didn't believe the old Taoist's far-fetched reason.
“What I have met with you, senior, is between us. There is no reason for me to tell others. I am unworthy of such kindness from you. I cannot accept such a reward without having done anything right. I am ashamed and do not deserve it.”
As he spoke, Qin Feng handed the jade token back to the old Taoist priest.
The old Taoist priest Qingchen didn't answer, but just chuckled.
"You've got quite the personality, kid. What I'm saying is true. This isn't a big deal, but if they find out, we'll be in for a lot of trouble."
Qin Feng looked at the old Taoist quietly, "Even so, it's not enough for you to treat me so kindly, senior. If you have any instructions, please just say them. I'm a little unsure of myself."
The old Taoist stroked his beard. "There's no particular reason. I just think you have good potential and a bright future, so I'm making this a friendly gesture in advance."
Qin Feng reluctantly accepted this reason.
The old Taoist priest Qingchen's smile vanished, and his eyes deepened. "Boy, do you believe in your intuition?"
Qin Feng nodded. "I believe you."
The old Taoist priest thought Qin Feng was talking nonsense and began to explain.
"Hey, don't you believe me? A cultivator's intuition is very accurate, especially since I, an old Taoist, also practice divination. I have a feeling... What, you believe me?"
The old Taoist priest was halfway through his explanation when he was stunned to find that Qin Feng said he believed him.
When the old Taoist priest Qingchen talks about these things with outsiders, most people will say that he is a charlatan, mysterious and not to be taken seriously.
The old Taoist looked at Qin Feng in surprise, "You believe that? You really don't play by the rules."
Qin Feng calmly replied, "I believe it. The way of heaven is constant. Isn't it normal for capable people to be able to sense it? When I first met you, I felt that you were a reasonable and righteous person."
The old Taoist looked at him in surprise, "You're quite something, kid. In that case, just keep this jade token. See you in Zhongzhou."
This time, Qin Feng didn't refuse. He carefully put the jade token away, thinking that having more friends was better than having more enemies. He would need this jade token to use the teleportation array of the Heavenly Pride Tower when he went to Zhongzhou in the future.
Seeing that he had accepted the gift, the old Taoist priest tried to leave.
Qin Feng immediately called out to him, looking at him with a grin, "Senior, since you're a good person, why don't you give me some pointers on how to open up this cave?"
The old Taoist priest looked at him with great interest. "Want to learn? Join my Qingyun Sect, it'll be a piece of cake."
Qin Feng shook his head decisively, "That won't do. Senior, didn't you want to form a good relationship with me?"
The old Taoist chuckled, "Kid, you've heard the saying 'too much of a good thing', haven't you? Goodbye."
Qin Feng's lips twitched slightly. "You've said everything you wanted to say."
Just as the old Taoist was about to leave, he remembered something and reminded him:
"Let me tell you, the three people who just appeared are all influential figures in Zhongzhou. They must be unhappy that you rejected them."
They are not as casual as the old Taoist priest. If you come to Zhongzhou in the future, don't provoke them, or they will settle accounts with you.
Especially watch out for Tian Wei from the Tianqi Sect, who seems quite refined.
Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and his goodwill towards the old Taoist priest increased. "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
"Let's go. You've cleared the Tower of Prodigies, which will definitely cause a sensation in your Southern Region. Get ready to welcome him."
The old Taoist priest left after he finished speaking.
Qin Feng arrived at the designated array and was teleported out.
In the square of Tianjiao Tower.
The moment Qin Feng appeared, the entire arena fell into an eerie silence, followed by thunderous cheers.
The excited screams and shouts from the crowd, and the envious and admiring looks in their eyes, made Qin Feng exclaim that he couldn't take it anymore.
He's just participating in a trial, it's nothing special, I don't understand why these people are so excited.
Qin Feng looked up at the Tower of Pride and saw his name and score for clearing the level. He was speechless. How did he cause such a commotion?
He saw that Yin Tiantian and Xiao Fan had now entered the twentieth floor.
Leng Yuexi has already started her ascent to the 36th floor.
Qin Feng couldn't help but smile.
Sun Fan of the Heavenly Sword Sect beamed with joy and congratulated Qin Feng, "Congratulations to Elder Qin on successfully passing the test and becoming the first person in history to reach the top of the Tower of Pride."
Zhang Kaicheng smiled brightly at Qin Feng and said, "Congratulations, Qin Feng, you've made a name for yourself again."
Qin Feng waved his hand dismissively, "It's just a trial, nothing to congratulate you on. Why are you all here?"
Sun Fan glanced around, seemingly casually. "Haven't been here in a while. I heard there was some commotion, so I came to join the fun."
Zhang Kaicheng winked at Qin Feng, conveying the same meaning as Sun Fan.
Qin Feng immediately understood what was going on. They were worried that someone might do something drastic, so they came to stand up for Qin Feng.
Seeing Qin Feng chatting happily with the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect made Feng Ji feel even more distressed. Coupled with the instructions from their sect leader, he already had a plan in mind.
Tang Yan's envy and jealousy of Qin Feng had turned into a cold killing intent. He and Feng Ji exchanged a glance and remained silent.
They knew that too many people were paying attention to Qin Feng right now, and the Heavenly Sword Sect members were still around, so it wasn't a good time to make a move.
Bai Yanbing, Xiong Fei, and Ye Jing looked at Qin Feng with incredibly complex emotions. Qin Feng had accomplished what they couldn't.
Yan Yong gave Qin Feng a deep look, then said to the manager of the Heavenly Pride Tower, "Can I go in now?"
The manager nodded quickly, "That's fine."
Yan Yong plunged headlong into the Tower of Pride. He was provoked and even hurt by Qin Feng.
He was once incredibly successful, dominating the top spot for a long time, but now he has been severely surpassed, which is hard for him, a prodigy, to accept.
