Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment before he exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Yuntai, you're awake!"
Yuntai Hermit said, "That … Watch your words! I'm in seclusion, not sleeping … Why would I be awake? "
"Yes, yes, yes …" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You're out of seclusion … Do you know the Five Sages Token? Oh … That's the name given to the token by the cultivation world. It's called the Rising Dragon Token, right? "
Yuntai became happy after hearing this and said: "Five Saints Decree? What a lousy name … But it's quite fitting. There are five Rising Dragon Tokens in total. "
"Then tell me more about the Rising Dragon Token!" Xia Ruofei perked up as soon as he heard this. "Because many inheritances are missing, there are many different opinions about the Five Saints … uh, the Rising Dragon Token in the cultivation world. One of the more mainstream views is that if you gather all five tokens, you can open a complete ancient cultivator's abode …"
"Ancient cultivators?" Yuntai asked in confusion.
"That's what the cultivation world called the cultivators of your era." Xia Ruofei explained with a smile, "We usually call the cultivators of your era ancient cultivators."
"I've become an ancient cultivator?" Patron Yuntai had a very strange feeling.
"Erm … Senior Yuntai, can you tell me more about the Rising Dragon Token?" Xia Ruofei asked.
Yuntai Hermit said, "Of course, no problem! But … I don't know much about it! "
Xia Ruofei was happy when he heard the first half of the sentence, but the smile froze on his face.
"Didn't you recognize it immediately?" Xia Ruofei asked in confusion.
Yuntai smiled bitterly and said, "That's because the Rising Dragon Token was very famous in our era. It appeared many times in the cultivation world. But … Being able to recognize it doesn't mean that you know it well. In fact, in our era, people didn't find anything about the Rising Dragon Token … "
Xia Ruofei pondered for a moment and said, "So … the Rising Dragon Token isn't the key to opening the ancient ruins?"
"If the ancient ruins you're talking about are the abodes of a cultivator from our era … I can tell you with certainty that it's definitely not the case!" Yuntai Hermit said.
Then he said, "I'll tell you what I know! I hope it will be of some help to you! "
"Thank you, Senior Yuntai!" Xia Ruofei said quickly.
"The first time this Rising Dragon Medallion appeared in the world of cultivation was when I first joined the sect. At that time, I was only a janitor at the first layer of Qi Refinement." Yuntai Practitioner's voice was filled with nostalgia for the past. "Back then, my sect obtained a token. If I remember correctly, it should be token number three."
The token number three was now in the hands of Valley Master Liu of the Soaring Flower Valley. Xia Ruofei thought about how this token had appeared more than three thousand years ago in Yuntai Hermit's sect. He couldn't help but have a strange feeling.
Yuntai Hermit continued, "About a hundred years later, five tokens appeared in the world of cultivation one after another."
"Did you try to study the five tokens together?" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but ask.
"Of course! Otherwise, we wouldn't have known it was called the Rising Dragon Token! Even the second layer wouldn't have known that there were five tokens in a set! " Yuntai Hermit said, "At that time, the five sects that obtained the Rising Dragon Tokens gathered together under the sect master's summons and took out their tokens. When the five tokens appeared in the same place, they would automatically combine together and the words' Rising Dragon 'would appear. That's why we named them the Rising Dragon Tokens. "
Xia Ruofei suddenly understood and said, "I see … I finally know the origin of the Rising Dragon Token. Senior Yuntai Hermit, after the Rising Dragon Tokens were combined, did you find anything? "
Yuntai Hermit said, "I was only at the Golden Core Stage at that time. I was just an insignificant person in the sect. How could I participate in such an important matter? However, there shouldn't be any results from the research because in the end, everyone separated the Rising Dragon Tokens and brought them back. Moreover, our Sect Master has agreed that every 50 years, the holders of the Rising Dragon Tokens will come to our Sect to gather. The purpose is naturally to research the Rising Dragon Tokens … "
"After such a long time, you still didn't find anything?" Xia Ruofei asked in disbelief.
"That's right." Yuntai Hermit said, "What's more surprising is that after about three hundred years, the five Rising Dragon Tokens all disappeared. Whether they were stored in storage rings, secret rooms, or protected by layers of formations, they all disappeared without exception, including the one in our sect. Our sect master thought that it had been stolen. After he contacted the other sects that had the Rising Dragon Tokens, he found out that everyone's Rising Dragon Tokens had completely disappeared … "
"I can't believe this happened …" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but frown slightly.
Three hundred years … That was almost the same amount of time that Venerable Shanhe had placed the Rising Dragon Tokens in the Ring-Tu space. Didn't that mean that if this rule was still in effect, the Rising Dragon Tokens could disappear at any time?
Yuntai Hermit said, "This is indeed very strange. After the Rising Dragon Tokens disappear, they will appear in the cultivation world one after another about ten years. It is precisely because of this that many sects and forces in the cultivation world actually once possessed the Rising Dragon Token. Regardless of which force possessed this token, everyone would gather together regularly to combine the tokens into one for research. However, there has been no progress in the end. "
Yuntai paused for a moment before continuing, "However, this strange characteristic made the Rising Dragon Medallion very famous in our era. Many people believed that the Rising Dragon Medallion contained the secret to cultivating the Ultimate Great Dao. They believed that as long as they could unravel the secret of the Rising Dragon Medallion, they would be able to achieve the Great Dao just like the name of the medallion …"
Xia Ruofei furrowed his brows and asked, "Senior Yuntai, have you ever seen the Rising Dragon Medallion combine into one?"
"I've seen him once!" Yuntai Hermit said, "As long as the five tokens appear within a certain range at the same time, they will automatically combine into a shape similar to the Eight Trigrams if they aren't deliberately restrained. Apart from the words' Rising Dragon ', there are also some floating points that have no practical meaning. Everyone believes that these floating points contain the secret of the Rising Dragon Tokens. Some have even copied them and studied them carefully. However, as I said, no progress has been made … "
"Most importantly …" Yuntai Hermit continued, "Everyone has realized that the floating points on the Rising Dragon Tokens seem to be different every time …"
"What?" Xia Ruofei was even more surprised. "Could it be that every time the five tokens are reassembled, the positions of the floating points will change? Is there a pattern to this? "
"That's not it …" Yuntai Hermit said, "We've tried to copy the floating points after the Rising Dragon Tokens are combined and then dismantle them immediately … By the way, it's actually very easy to dismantle them. Basically, an early Golden Core cultivator can break them into five tokens with a full-strength attack. Where was I? "
Yuntai Hermit was interrupted by him and forgot what he was talking about.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You said to try copying the floating points and dismantling them immediately."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yuntai Hermit said, "Copy the floating points, dismantle them into tokens, and then assemble them immediately. At this time, the floating points' positions will not change. Finally, everyone has studied it and found that the floating points' positions change periodically. The cycle is about 50 years … Every 50 years, the floating points' positions will be completely different from the previous time! "
"I see …" Xia Ruofei said thoughtfully, "It seems that the floating points are very likely to be the secret."
"We know that as well!" Yuntai Hermit said with a smile, "However, there's no pattern to the floating points at all. Some cultivators have spent hundreds of years studying the distribution maps of dozens of floating points, but in the end, they didn't find anything. So you don't have too much hope … Of course, you only have a single command token now, and you don't know when all five command tokens will appear! "
"Senior Yuntai, the other four Rising Dragon Tokens have appeared." Xia Ruofei said, "I didn't expect the only one missing to be in my small space …"
"Is that so? In other words, the Rising Dragon Token has appeared again? " Yuntai Hermit said with interest, "If all five tokens are gathered together, remember to copy the floating point distribution map. I'll study it when I'm free."
In fact, in Yuntai Hermit's era, many cultivators studied the floating point distribution map wholeheartedly. Although Yuntai Hermit wasn't obsessed with it, he had studied it for a period of time.
Moreover, it was rare for him to see a treasure that had stirred up a storm in his era, so Yuntai Hermit felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy.
In addition, he was now in the state of a spirit body and could only live in the ore space. In fact, it was very boring. In this state, studying the floating point distribution map could be considered as a form of entertainment.
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "If all the tokens are gathered, I'll definitely copy the floating point distribution map for Senior Yuntai to study!"
"Okay, okay!" Yuntai Hermit said, "Kid, I suddenly felt something again. I'll go into seclusion first! Get the floating point distribution map as soon as possible! "
After saying that, Yuntai Hermit fell silent again.
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said to himself, "Senior Yuntai Hermit is a seclusion maniac! He's already a spirit body. What's the point of seclusion? I really don't understand … "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he remembered that Yuntai Hermit had finished his seclusion and that he didn't have the time to ask him all the questions.
However, Xia Ruofei wasn't in the mood to care about the ancient Cultivation world right now.
It was because after the conversation with Yuntai Hermit, he was even more conflicted about how to deal with the Rising Dragon Badge.
Rationally speaking, Xia Ruofei felt that it was unlikely that he, the Tianyi Palace, the Soaring Flower Valley, and the Blue Waves Sect could figure out the secrets of the Rising Dragon Badge.
He noticed a detail that Layman Yuntai mentioned — when the Rising Dragon Token was put together for the first time, Layman Yuntai was in the Aurous Core Stage, and a Aurous Core Stage cultivator was just an 'insignificant' role in the sect. He was not even qualified to participate in the study of the Rising Dragon Token.
In the current Cultivation world, apart from whether or not there were any Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in seclusion, the strongest Cultivators on the surface were only in the advanced stage of the Core Formation Stage.
The Core Formation Stage Cultivators were "insignificant" in the ancient Cultivation world. How could a few Core Formation Stage Cultivators figure out the secrets of the Rising Dragon Badge? Even Xia Ruofei found it hard to believe.
But at the same time, he was worried that the Rising Dragon Badge would suddenly disappear.
After all, he didn't know when Master Shanhe got the badge, but Master Shanhe had disappeared from the Cultivation world for more than three hundred years. According to the pattern that Yuntai Hermit mentioned just now, the Rising Dragon Badge might disappear at any time!
If he delayed and the Rising Dragon Badge suddenly disappeared one day, wouldn't he feel like weeping but have no tears?
Therefore, after much consideration, Xia Ruofei was more inclined to reach out to the other sects as soon as possible and assemble the five badges first.
At the very least, he would be able to copy the floating point distribution map.
By then, even if the Rising Dragon Badge did disappear, he wouldn't come up empty-handed.
However, it was still quite risky to take out the No. 1 badge at this time.
After all, Xia Ruofei was only at the early stage of the Core Formation Stage. If he used all his trump cards, it shouldn't be a problem for him to fight against a cultivator at the middle stage of the Core Formation Stage. However, if a cultivator at the late stage of the Core Formation Stage wanted to attack Xia Ruofei, he could only run for his life.
The Tianyi Palace had a master at the late stage of the Core Formation Stage.
If the other party wanted to rob him by force, Xia Ruofei would be putting himself in danger.
Xia Ruofei thought for a long time and finally decided to go to the Tianyi Palace first.
However, he wouldn't tell them about the Rising Dragon Badge for the time being. He planned to get in touch with Chen Xuan and his son first and make a decision after he had a certain understanding of them.
Anyway, he happened to be going to Chen Xuan to ask for the branches of wild tea, so it wasn't too abrupt to visit them.
After making the decision, Xia Ruofei left the Rising Dragon Badge in the Ring-Tu space and returned to the outside world with a thought.
Since he had decided to go to the Tianyi Palace, and the Rising Dragon Badge might disappear at any time, Xia Ruofei didn't want to delay any longer.
He called Li Yifu over and asked him to continue to guard the Peach Blossom Island. After giving him some instructions, he was ready to leave the Peach Blossom Island.
In order to prevent Li Yifu from worrying, Xia Ruofei didn't tell him that he was going to the Tianyi Palace. He just said that he had something to do in China.
Xia Ruofei often came and went in a hurry, so Li Yifu naturally didn't dare to ask too much. Anyway, Xia Ruofei asked him to guard the Peach Blossom Island, so he would do his best to guard here.
The cultivation environment here was so good that Li Yifu was willing to stay here for a long time.
Xia Ruofei controlled the black flying boat to take off from the rooftop of the Yanhuang Building and go straight to the Lu Province of Huaxia. The Tianyi Palace was located in the depths of the Taishan Mountain Range of Lu Province.
