Seven days later, in the sky three miles away from the Thousand Needles Forest, Yi Tian bid farewell to Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng.
Shen Peiqi had meditated for a full six days before she recovered. During this time, Qu Yifeng had changed his laziness and seized the time to cultivate.
The blow this time was too big for him. After seeing Yi Tian defeat a cultivator one level higher than him in a quarter of an hour, Qu Yifeng no longer had the mood to compete. The difference was not small. After fighting with Fatty Yi Tian, he knew how strong he was. Even the stronger Zhong Yue had been defeated by Yi Tian. It was a joke for him to want to spar with Yi Tian. No wonder Shen Peiqi had warned him not to play with fire.
Seeing Yi Tian sitting in front of the stone door for three days and three nights, Qu Yifeng did not dare to disturb him. In fact, Yi Tian had already thought of a way to reconnect the two opened spirit pattern chains. It was easy to do with the materials he had, but the key was to leave a way out for himself.
In the next few days, Yi Tian took out the materials for an array disc from his storage bracelet. First, he refined a trap array and then used the two opened spirit pattern chains as the array foundation.
When refining the array disc, Yi Tian had an ingenious idea. He took out a trace of thunder spirit power from his dantian and injected it into the array disc. He did not expect that after consuming a trace of thunder, the seal could actually absorb his spirit liquid to replenish the lost purple thunder. The price was that Yi Tian had to spend ten mid-grade spirit stones to recover his spirit power.
Although this made Yi Tian very depressed, the result was really good. When Yi Tian placed the array disc in the middle of the stone door and connected the two spirit pattern chains, the vast aura calmed down, just like the original three seals. After seeing that the seal had been repaired, Yi Tian felt a burst of joy. Now, other than him, it would be very difficult for anyone else to open this door. Only those Nascent Soul Stage cultivators had the ability to open it.
What made Yi Tian feel the most was that after cultivating to the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage for the past two years, there had been no signs of a breakthrough. Unexpectedly, after the purple lightning absorbed the spiritual energy to replenish it, there was a little loosening. Perhaps it was the result of the battle with Zhong Yue and the forging of the array discs.
After sending the two of them off, Yi Tian flew to Green Laurel Lane alone. He needed to replenish some materials. That formation plate cost nearly half of Yi Tian's materials. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to connect the two spiritual pattern chains.
However, when they arrived at Green Laurel Lane, Lu Qihao happened to be out. Yi Tian directly went to the deacon of the material warehouse, hoping to make an exception. However, the deacon was determined to refuse this time. It was all because Yi Tian took too much materials last time, so Green Laurel Lane had to supply him according to the plan for the next three years. Especially when those craftsmen in the market saw that Yi Tian went to get materials again, they came in groups to make trouble. Yi Tian took their quota last time, so this time, no matter what they said, they couldn't accept it.
In the end, the deacon made it clear that Green Laurel Lane would never give Yi Tian any more materials. Only then did the public's anger calm down.
After leaving the material warehouse, Yi Tian had to find a place to use the remaining materials first. He would forge as many as he could, and if it was not enough, he would think of other ways. After a month, Yi Tian had dealt with the remaining formation plates. There were a total of forty formation plates. According to the estimation of two formation plates at each node, there were still forty formation plates missing.
Yi Tian had no choice but to contact Shen Peiqi. They had agreed that they would not tell outsiders about the Thousand Needles Forest. The three of them also knew about the sealed formation plates. Yi Tian didn't think too much at that time and directly used some of the materials. However, he couldn't bear the missing part alone. He used the two scapegoats when it was time to use them.
After listening to Yi Tian's numbers, Shen Peiqi also had a headache. The gap was not small. Even if the three of them used their contribution points to fill it up, there was no place to buy materials. Besides, if they bought thirty catties of mithril and a thousand catties of copper and iron ingots in the sect at once, the Commandment Hall would come knocking on their door in less than two hours. This would seriously disrupt the normal operation of the Artifact Hall.
After the two of them discussed it, Shen Peiqi gave Yi Tian an idea. Since they couldn't buy so many things in the sect, they could go to the center of the East Ao Continent, Stars City. There were more things there. It wouldn't be a problem to go to a few shops to buy more.
However, Yi Tian also said that this time, Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng couldn't stay out of it. They could buy the materials themselves, but both of them had to pay some compensation for their hard work and the cost of the materials.
Shen Peiqi wasn't someone who knew how to negotiate. Besides, she would feel embarrassed if she was saved by Yi Tian. In the end, she agreed that she and Qu Yifeng would each take out five hundred sect contribution points to give to Yi Tian. They would pay for it when they returned to the sect. Only then did the angry Yi Tian leave.
After thinking of a solution, Yi Tian returned to the material warehouse. This time, the deacon on guard didn't give Yi Tian a good look. Fortunately, when he heard that Yi Tian came over to ask for a map to Stars City, his expression became a little better.
After he took out a sheepskin map and made a copy for Yi Tian, he urged him to leave quickly. He was afraid that he would cause a misunderstanding if he stayed here. Yi Tian found out from the deacon that an alchemist trade fair would be held in Stars City in three months. If he was lucky, Yi Tian could bring some spirit tools and sell them for a good price.
Looking at the deacon's sincere eyes, Yi Tian felt a burst of gratitude. But as soon as he left, he heard the deacon say in a weak voice that the materials there were not cheap.
There were still about three months before the alchemist feast in Stars City. If he went there too early, he might not be able to collect anything useful. The alchemists who really went to participate in the competition generally went a month in advance, and the trade volume generally increased with the arrival of the alchemists.
Now, Yi Tian was thinking about how to take out spirit stones from the pockets of the alchemists instead of going there to give them spirit stones. If the materials needed to set up the formation were converted into spirit stones, each of them would be 20,000 spirit stones. However, Shen Peiqi and Qu Yifeng only gave him contribution points. Although contribution points were hard currency in the sect, in Stars City, he still had to rely on spirit stones.
Looking at the more than 2,000 spirit stones in his storage bracelet, Yi Tian realized that this was all he had. The task in front of him was to let Yi Tian turn these 2,000 spirit stones into 20,000 spirit stones within a year, and then buy enough Mithril, Copper Essence and Iron Essence.
Thinking about what alchemists needed the most, it was nothing more than some alchemy furnaces. Even those cultivators who had just learned alchemy wanted to have a high-grade alchemy furnace. Even if their alchemy skills were not good, they could still increase the rate of core formation with the help of an alchemy furnace. However, the demand for alchemy furnaces could not rise without a limit, and each person could only have one.
In Yi Tian's hands, there were still some Mithril, Copper Essence and Iron Essence that had not been refined into array discs. Originally, he had prepared them for emergency use, but now, Yi Tian did not care so much and directly used them. The Star Iron in the storage bracelet could not be used to cast alchemy furnaces, it would be too wasteful.
However, the refined Star Sand was different. Yi Tian looked at it and found that it was about five jin or so. Even if it was purely used to cast alchemy furnaces, it would be enough for five bottles. If it was combined with some decent materials, the effect would be better. Ten alchemy furnaces would be enough. Two thousand Spirit Stones for each third-level top alchemy furnace would be enough.
After thinking about it, he had to do it. Green Laurel Lane did not have the conditions to auction, but it was not a problem to sell one or two alchemy furnaces privately. After that, Yi Tian spent 30 contribution points to rent an alchemy furnace in Green Laurel Lane for a month. After dividing the materials in his hands, he found that there was just enough for three alchemy furnaces. He would refine them first. If he could not sell them, he would take them to Stars City.
One and a half months later, Yi Tian flew in the air and set off for Stars City. The storage bracelet was full of Mithril, Copper Essence and Iron Essence worth 5,000 Spirit Stones. In the past month, Yi Tian found several alchemists in the elixir stores in Green Laurel Lane and showed them three third-level top alchemy furnaces in private. Finally, he sold them all for 7,000 Spirit Stones.
Then Yi Tian began to buy Mithril, Copper Essence and Iron Essence wantonly in Green Laurel Lane. If they were reluctant to sell, Yi Tian would directly raise the price until they were willing to sell. For a time, the prices in the whole market were inflated by Yi Tian. The shopkeepers of those weapon refining shops were miserable, but Yi Tian didn't care and continued to buy them. A few days later, the shopkeepers of the weapon refining shops of Green Laurel Lane jointly went to the House of Guardians to complain. If Lu Qihao of Green Laurel Lane didn't send Yi Tian out personally, this matter wouldn't be over.
Thinking of the materials and nearly 5,000 Spirit Stones that had been collected in the storage bracelet, the materials were enough for half of the total. Yi Tian planned to buy the rest in Stars City. The market there had a large trading volume, and the people there would not drive him away.
According to the plan, when Yi Tian arrived in Stars City, he would find an opportunity to use up all the Star Sand on him. With some Krypton Gold, he would directly refine a middle-rank Level Four spiritual weapon. Then, he would sell two spiritual weapons to make up for all the materials.
Looking at the map, Stars City was located in the central area of the East Ao Continent. It was built in the central valley of the continuous cloud green mountains. Because it was in the area jointly governed by the Six Sects, each sect had set up a temporary station there. Generally, if the cultivators of the sect encountered any trouble in the Vast Star City, they could directly find the person in charge of the station to help solve the dispute.
Before leaving, Lu Qihao specially told Yi Tian that if he had any problems there, he could go to the manager, Jin Sheng. Hearing the name of the manager, Yi Tian sneered. It was good enough that Jin Sheng did not find trouble with him. He had to rely on himself for everything. If he went to look for Jin Sheng, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
When he was ten miles away from Stars City, Yi Tian was stopped by the patrolling cultivators in the sky. After landing the flywheel, he was told that he had to walk or drive to Stars City. Only Jin Dan cultivators and above were allowed to fly in.
Stars City was guarded by two Jin Dan cultivators, Flying Star and Gathering Star cultivators. In Stars City, if a sect cultivator caused trouble, it would generally be handled by the sect's resident deacon. If it was a dispute between rogue cultivators, it would directly be handled by the Stars City's law enforcement team.
Standing in the line to enter the city, Yi Tian was waiting to pay the spirit stones to enter the city. There was a passage next to him that was exclusively used by the disciples of the six sects. Moreover, the entrance fee was waived. However, those sect cultivators had to report their whereabouts to the sect station first.
For the time being, Yi Tian did not want to expose his whereabouts. Therefore, he had to change into a green robe and a bamboo hat to blend into the crowd. Fortunately, there were not many Foundation Establishment cultivators entering the city. Looking at the long line next to him, Yi Tian was glad that he did not use the Breath Concealing Technique to disguise himself as a Qi Condensation cultivator. Otherwise, he would not be able to enter the city without waiting for half a day.
Looking at the Stars City's jade card in his hand, Yi Tian shook his head. The entrance fee of Stars City was really black. A Foundation Establishment cultivator had to pay a fee of 100 spirit stones. Now, Yi Tian was a little regretful that he did not use his identity as a disciple of Chiyang School. Looking back at the passage, he suddenly saw a carriage coming out from the side. The carriage was marked with three flames. When he saw it, he was stunned. Wasn't that the symbol of his sect?
He carefully looked at the people in the carriage. There were two men and one woman, and he knew all of them. Wu Xing and Ning Ning were both alchemists, so it was reasonable for them to come to this party. However, why was that Chi Yang kid, Huo Jiawei, also coming? He was not an alchemist.
The three people sitting in the carriage were talking and laughing, but in fact, it was Huo Jiawei and Ning Ning who were chatting. Wu Xing was just accompanying the guests. Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Wu Xing could not say anything. He began to look around and happened to see a familiar face. Seeing Yi Tian shake his head at him and then make a gesture with his hand, Wu Xing was secretly delighted. He stopped looking around and pretended to be chatting with someone as he entered the city.
