The restrictive spell in front of the Eagle Spring Mountain Gate had not changed in the slightest in the past five years. The words on the wooden sign hanging on the restrictive spell in front of the mountain gate had become blurred after being battered by the wind and rain for several years. Only the two words' seclusion 'could be vaguely seen. In the past five years, only Qi Haosi and Qu Yifeng had come to see it and left a message for Yi Tian.
Qi Haosi's message was to remind Yi Tian that the deadline for the Artifact Hall's task was approaching. Qu Yifeng came to inform him that he was going to start building his foundation. In the past few years, he had already regarded Yi Tian as his number one competitor in Chiyang School. In the past, Yi Tian had built his foundation at the age of 23. Now, Qu Yifeng was only 21 years old. If he succeeded in building his foundation, then his starting point would not be lower than Yi Tian's. Qu Yifeng had been completely defeated by Yi Tian in the Qi Refining Stage. In the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would have to compete again.
One day, five years later, the restriction at the foot of Young Eagle Mountain suddenly disappeared. A figure drilled out of the waterfall. After flying a few laps in the air, he steadily landed at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the wooden sign for seclusion, he smiled. Then a wisp of flame ignited the wooden sign with his right index finger. In less than a breath of time, the wooden sign was burned to ashes. It was Yi Tian who had come out of seclusion. His appearance was the same as five years ago. It seemed that the effect of the Face Retaining Pill had begun to show.
In the past five years, Yi Tian had not only cultivated the Profound Sun True Fire in the cave, but also comprehended the Asura Transformation for a long time. After entering the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had finished cultivating his Divine Sense Trace. The effect of splitting his Divine Sense into three parts had greatly accelerated his cultivation progress.
Usually, he could comprehend Spirit Arts and Divine Sense Spells at the same time. The time saved was all used in meditation cultivation. Sometimes, he would simply divide his Divine Sense into two parts to learn the Asura Transformation. His main Divine Sense would continue to maintain a state of cultivation.
In the first three years, Yi Tian had already consolidated his cultivation. He had also used the lightning spirit energy in his body to fully temper his meridians, bones, and muscles. The spirit liquid in his body had already slowly turned into a purplish-red color.
It was no exaggeration to say that Yi Tian felt that he was far stronger than other cultivators of the same level. Even an ordinary mid Foundation Establishment cultivator without a spirit treasure might not be able to defeat him. Only those late Foundation Establishment cultivators could cause substantial damage to Yi Tian. Unfortunately, these were all just Yi Tian's wishful thinking and had not been tested.
In the following two years, Yi Tian focused on cultivating the Asura Transformation. This Divine Sense Spell only had two layers. The first layer allowed one to cultivate the Asura Avatar. The second layer allowed one to cultivate six arms. He believed that after cultivating the third layer, he would be able to cultivate three heads. After cultivating the Divine Sense Spell to perfection, he would be able to cultivate the Asura's three heads and six arms.
The advantage was that he could use three or four Divine Sense Spells at the same time. In a one on one battle, he would have an overwhelming advantage. In a one on two battle, he would also have the upper hand. In a one on three battle, he would be able to fight to a draw. However, the disadvantage was also very obvious. It required a large amount of spirit energy to support it. Once his spirit energy ran out, not to mention using multiple spells at the same time, even maintaining the Asura Avatar state would be very difficult.
After two years of cultivation, he had finally found some clues about the Asura Transformation. After cultivating to the first level, he was able to slowly condense out the silhouette of a Dharma Body. Although he could not see the Dharma Body clearly, it was definitely there. However, this Dharma Body was completely useless.
When Yi Tian finished reading the Divine Sense Spell, he realized that he had to cultivate the second layer of the Asura Transformation to have six arms to be able to use multiple spells at the same time. The Avatar of the first layer was purely used to fool people. No wonder no one wanted to exchange for it even though it was the number one item in Eastsea City for so long. He had thought that it was some kind of Divine Sense Spell, which was why he had spent over 9,000 spirit points and asked for a favor. But now that he thought about it, since he had already boarded a pirate ship, he could only follow it to the end.
The current Yi Tian could be said to be penniless. In the past five years, he had spent all of the thousands of spirit stones he had. Although they were all looted from the secret realm, they were all used up. Adding on the fact that he did not control his cultivation, they were all used up by the end of the third year. Fortunately, he still had 500 spirit points left in his Sect Jade Token.
The spirit tools in his possession had long since been used up in the secret realm. Even the small flywheel mixed with Star Iron could not withstand the high temperature after being heated up by the Profound Yang True Fire. The large flywheel was also burned into a lump of iron. He did not pay much attention to it during the battle. Only after taking it out from his storage ring did he realize that the entire magic tool had been destroyed. Right now, Yi Tian urgently needed to accept some missions. It would be best if he could get some refining materials.
After staying at the foot of the mountain for a while, Yi Tian used the Wind Escape Technique and flew towards the Artifact Hall.
Two hours later, in the Artifact Hall, he saw Yi Tian arguing with the steward and deacon with a red face. Both sides were arguing so much that their fellow disciples came over to watch the show. The reason was that Yi Tian had started looking for missions to refine spirit tools as soon as he arrived at the Artifact Hall. Furthermore, they were all missions that were posted by Foundation Establishment cultivators.
However, Yi Tian had never taken any tests in the Artifact Hall. In the past ten years, other than the two magic tools he had refined, the scarlet sword and the pill furnace, he did not have any other good works. Even those two magic tools were used to complete the annual test.
The missions that were posted in the Artifact Hall all had requirements for the refiners. They either had to be at least level 4 or above. However, there were only two level 4 refiners in the Artifact Hall other than Pei Ming and Qi Haosi. Furthermore, all four of them were busy with missions. There was only the head of the level 5 refiners, so no one dared to disturb him.
After Yi Tian argued with the steward, he proposed to take part in the refiners' test. However, the answer he got was that the level 4 refiners' test could only be done by the head of the head during the annual meeting every year. Other people were not qualified to be examiners. Yi Tian angrily went to find his master. However, when he saw the sign on the door of the Heaven-Class refining room, he knew that it would not be good to disturb his master.
Later, Yi Tian returned to the Artifact Hall and discussed with the steward about using contribution points to buy some Star Iron. However, when he was told that it would cost 100 contribution points per tael, Yi Tian almost rushed up and beat him up.
He had not shown his face in the Artifact Hall for five years. Did he really think that he, a direct disciple, was a fool? However, the steward was also distressed. He clearly knew that he could not offend this master. However, this year, the Artifact Hall was indeed out of stock. There was a problem with the raw material supply of Star Iron. The supply was 60% less than the previous years. The Commandment Hall had already posted a mission to send people to the Star Iron mine to investigate the reason.
Under the persuasion of others, Yi Tian had no choice but to buy one tael of Star Iron and forge a few pieces of Copper Iron Essence. Then, he rented the Earth-Class refining room for a month, spending less than 100 contribution points. After asking around, he found out that the identity of a direct disciple was sometimes quite useful. The cost of materials and the refining room was 30% off.
Twenty days later, on the way to the Fallen Star Mountain, Yi Tian was flying alone in the sky on the reforged flywheel. In the Earth-Class refining room, he directly smelted the big and small flywheels together. After adding one tael of Star Iron, it finally looked decent.
After engraving the God Speed, Bearing, and Sturdy inscriptions, it was directly refined into a fourth-grade spirit tool. He held it in his hand and tested it. It was not bad. It was much easier to use than before. The only problem was that the material was a bit lacking. According to Yi Tian's original intention, the entire flywheel should be made of Star Iron.
After completing the refining, he did not care about the time of use of the refining room. After he came out, he directly asked the Artifact Hall steward to find the mission to investigate Star Iron. After registering it with his sect's jade token, he hurriedly rushed to investigate.
In fact, the investigation was only a part of it. In addition, Yi Tian also had a selfish motive. He went to the mine to investigate and see if there was any profit to be made.
Sitting on the flywheel, Yi Tian stretched his divine sense into the mission jade slip and carefully read the summary. This Star Iron mine was located in the Fallen Star Mountain at the southwest edge of the Chiyang School's territory. It was seven to eight hundred li away from the sect, located in the Fallen Star Mountain Range. According to the map in the mission jade slip, Xuan Ling Sect's territory was 30 li to the west. There was a medium-sized Xuan Ling Sect market there called the Cheng Clan Market.
The mine in the Fallen Star Mountain had always been famous for producing high-quality Star Iron. Originally, it could produce more than five catties of Star Iron a year. However, since last year, some demonic beasts appeared in the mine and disrupted the miners' production, so the production suddenly dropped. For the past two years, the annual supply was only two catties. Although the sect had urged them many times, they couldn't send anyone. As a result, the price of Star Iron skyrocketed, and it couldn't be bought without contribution points.
Currently, the person in charge of the mine was Jiang Tai, an inner sect middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He had been there for five years. Normally, the tenure of this kind of mission was changed every ten years. If there was a problem during his tenure, he would be held accountable when he returned to the sect. Therefore, Jiang Tai was very anxious this time. He wanted to ask the sect to send people to help him eliminate the demonic beasts in the mine.
After reading the information, Yi Tian thought about it. There were two possibilities for the mine to be reduced by half. One was the demonic beasts attacking the miners, and the other was man-made. First, he tried to eliminate the possibility of a hostile sect causing trouble. The mine was located southwest of the Chiyang School, which was the border with the Xuan Ling Sect. The two sects had always been in contact with each other, and they had a deep relationship. There shouldn't be any conflicts between the two sects.
To the south was the Hundred Thousand Mountains, which was uninhabited. To the north was thousands of miles away from the hinterland of Dong Ao. Even the White Bone Gate and the Corpse School couldn't be bothered to reach that place.
Then this matter was really caused by the demonic beasts. Thinking about going into the mine to eliminate the demonic beasts, Yi Tian's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't fought for a long time, and he didn't even know how strong he was now.
This mission originally required a middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to be qualified. If it wasn't for the fact that Yi Tian was a direct disciple, they wouldn't have dared to let an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator take on this mission. However, Yi Tian saw that the reward for completing this mission was extraordinarily generous. If the problem was solved and the production of Star Iron was restored to its previous level, he would receive a reward of 1,000 Star Iron.
For the current Yi Tian, after completing the mission, he still had to go to the Cheng Clan's market and sell the extra magic tools he had. He had no use for them, but they could be exchanged for spirit stones. There were a few good quality magic tools that he found in the storage pouches of the disciples of the aristocratic families during the Secret Realm Trial. Back then, it was Wu Xing who directly returned the items to Yi Tian untouched, which resolved the awkwardness of being penniless.
