After Yi Tian had been accosted in the black market, he had heard that other than the established method of purchasing treasures, there was also a method of completing missions in a team.
The person in front of him had given him this method, but he didn't really care about the reward for this mission. Exploration was already filled with danger, and he also needed to bring out a portion of Red Marrow Crystal. This item was already a mid-tier earth class treasure, and the reward for this mission was only half of a portion of Heaven Crystal Essence.
Furthermore, this person had clearly stated that this portion of Heaven Crystal Essence had been contaminated by Demonic Qi, which was why its grade had dropped by one. If there was an entire portion, Yi Tian would be quite tempted. However, if there was only half a portion, it wouldn't be enough for him. Furthermore, this mission's location was unknown, and it was filled with danger.
Thinking about it, it was really a thankless task. Thus, he immediately rejected the other party's proposal.
Afterwards, he brought Hua Yuxin to look around once more, wanting to see if there were any other opportunities to pick up. Unfortunately, they didn't seem to have discovered anything. In the entire black market, only the first three missions required heaven class treasures as rewards. Two of them were to form a team to kill high tier demonic beasts, and the last mission was actually to hire a hitman. And the target was actually the Feiyu Kenshū Sect's inner disciple, Ou Jing Long.
Yi Tian looked at the mission description and saw that as long as anyone killed this person and brought his head and sect jade token, they could exchange it for the quasi-heaven grade treasure, Glass Dragon's Soul.
After reading it, he sucked in a deep breath of cold air and thought to himself, "The black market here really dares to clearly mark the price. Openly hiring a hitman to kill an inner disciple in the Feiyu Kenshū Sect's territory. I'm afraid that even if someone really went to kill Ou Jing Long, they wouldn't dare to come here to exchange for the mission reward. The Feiyu Kenshū Sect already has his Life Soul Lamp. If he dies, there will be a higher level Spirit Severing cultivator coming to take revenge. "
After reading it, Yi Tian only laughed. This kind of mission was just a gimmick, and no one would really dare to do it.
After walking around, Yi Tian's face was filled with disappointment. This trip could be considered a waste. After walking around with Hua Yuxin, they returned to the place from before.
He saw that the person who had sent the voice transmission to him was still standing there, seemingly looking for a partner. Seeing that he had returned, he tried to send a voice transmission, "Fellow Daoist, I can sense that your strength is extraordinary. You can cooperate with me. How about this? As long as you agree, I can pay an additional three million spirit stones and the whereabouts of a Heaven-tier precious material."
"You sure are persistent. Tell me, why are you looking for partners here?" Yi Tian sent a voice transmission back.
"I was the one who posted the mission. Previously, after paying the deposit, no one was willing to accept the mission," the person said anxiously.
"Why?"
"According to the rules of the black market here, exploration missions like this are mostly for the sake of seeking help. Usually, the deadline is only three days. Because there are too many people who need to issue missions in the future, I can only come here personally after the cards are removed, "the person said impatiently.
Since the other party had relented and was willing to mention the whereabouts of a Heaven Grade precious material, it could be considered an opportunity for him.
After thinking about it, he turned around and said goodbye to Hua Yuxin. His original intention was to let her go back to the sect's station and wait for him to come back after he was done with his business. However, this time, this little girl was determined to follow him. No matter what he said, she would not change her mind.
Helpless, he could only bring her along. Although she was a little cumbersome, it was not a bad thing to bring her along to gain experience.
However, he made three rules for her. She had to listen to him in everything, and she had to avoid using the sect's cultivation methods from the Taiqing Pavilion to avoid leaving behind any clues that would cause trouble.
After doing this, he turned around and sent a voice transmission to the person, "Since you are willing to increase the conditions of the reward, it is not impossible for me to agree to your conditions. However, I want to bring my wife along. This is my only request. "
The person was silent for a moment. After a while, he sighed and replied quietly, "Come with me. We will talk in detail in the secret room on the side."
Yi Tian and Hua Yuxin followed the person all the way through the black market and came to a transaction room. They saw the person open a soundproof barrier and then take off his mask to reveal his true face.
Looking at him, it was a young man with delicate facial features. His cultivation was at the middle Deity Transformation stage, and his bone age was estimated to be around two thousand years old. No wonder he was hesitant when he said he wanted to bring one more person. It was clear that he was at a disadvantage with such a combination. If something happened during the exploration, it would not be something he could control. It was likely that he would not have agreed to his proposal if not for the fact that he was at his wit's end.
After exchanging names, they learned that the person in front of them called himself Yan Rujun and was a rogue cultivator. Yi Tian naturally made up the identity of a rogue cultivator to conceal his and Hua Yuxin's details.
After a while, Yan Rujun said, "The ruins we are exploring this time is called the Soul-Suppressing Furnace. It is roughly located in the Wildlands, a hundred thousand miles east of Fei Yu City."
Hearing that it was so far away, Yi Tian was very unwilling. Even if he drove the Assault Boat with Hua Yuxin, it would still take several months to reach that distance.
Yan Rujun saw the hesitation in his eyes and immediately explained, "Actually, it won't take us too long to get there."
"How do we get there?"
"There is a teleportation array from Fei Yu City to the nearest human-level town 'Crescent Mountain Castle'. After leaving the city, we will fly for three days and go deep into the Wildlands to find the entrance to the Soul-Suppressing Furnace," Yan Rujun explained.
Thus, after calculating in his mind, he estimated that it would take about a month to complete the exploration. This was under the premise that everything went smoothly.
After thinking for a while, Yi Tian replied, "Alright, but we need to make some preparations. Also, you will bear the cost of the teleportation array to Crescent Mountain Castle. After leaving the city, I have a light vehicle that can be driven deep into the Wildlands."
Hearing this, Yan Rujun was overjoyed and said, "That's even better. Having a flying boat or something like that is definitely better than flying outside. Although it's not as fast as flying, it won't be too far behind. "
Yi Tian knew that there was a hidden meaning in his words. It was nothing more than seeing that Hua Yuxin was a Yuanying cultivator and was afraid that she would slow down their progress. In this way, this part of the concern could be eliminated. After that, the only problem left was how to explore the ruins.
After the discussion, Yi Tian exchanged communication jade talismans with the other party. Then, he hurriedly brought Hua Yuxin out of the passage from the Immortal Realm. Both parties agreed to meet three days later at noon outside the teleportation array hall in the city.
He brought Hua Yuxin straight to the blacksmith shop in the city. After renting a secret room, he went in and began to prepare the things he needed for this operation.
Actually, he was more worried about Hua Yuxin's safety, so he had already thought of helping her sort out the spiritual tools she could use. He also gave her the Dragon Scale Shield that he used to protect himself. He also took the opportunity to teach her a secret technique called 'Heart Connection'. After mastering it, as long as they didn't die, they would be able to sense each other's existence in their hearts.
