Three days later, after fourteen years, Yi Tian once again returned to the blessed land of the Young Eagle Mountain. Only then could he relax. There were basically no changes in the cave. No one had lived in it for more than ten years, so the concentration of Spirit Qi inside was extremely high. Yi Tian sat on the bed in the bedroom and meditated, constantly absorbing the Spirit Qi.
The Lionheart Grass beside the Spirit Spring in the living room had already grown to a foot tall and was as thick as a finger. Other than the slightly yellowed core, the rest of the stem was emerald green. Yi Tian had seen the Spiritual Medicine Manual and knew that the Lionheart Grass only needed three inches of its core to be used as medicine. When combined with other supplementary herbs, it could be refined into a Lionheart Pill, which could be used as a treatment for Jindan Stage cultivators.
This stalk of Lionheart Grass could only be used after it had fully matured and its core had turned completely yellow. Yi Tian estimated that it would take at least fifty years. It would be good to keep it for his own use in the future. He could put it aside for now and use it when he needed it.
Thinking back to what Zhuo Lingfeng had said to him that day, Yi Tian shook his head with a bitter smile. Although he had done well in the defense array chain mission this time, Zhuo Lingfeng had also given him three thousand sect contribution points as compensation.
However, he also had a condition. The matter of Yi Tian killing two Wise King Dao cultivators could not be made public. After so many years of being outside, Yi Tian did not have much time to rest. Zhuo Lingfeng wanted Yi Tian to go into seclusion for at least five years and not have much contact with the sect. When he came out of seclusion, he could replace Ning Qingyuan in charge of the Artifact Hall or go out on missions. In short, he could not leak any information.
It sounded like protection, but in fact, it was a disguised form of regulation. It seemed that Zhuo Lingfeng did not want the news of the Wise King Dao to spread. Yi Tian also observed a moment of silence for Qu Yifeng and Shen Peiqi. He could be considered a sensible person and understood a little about this matter. However, those two people had indeed been tricked by him this time. He still did not know what Zhuo Lingfeng would do.
In any case, Yi Tian hadn't cultivated properly for a long time, so he needed to strengthen the spells and divine abilities in his body. Yi Tian's lesson from this attack was a wake-up call for him. In the past, he had only set his sights on cultivators of the same level, but once he encountered those high level cultivators, he had no other choice but to run for his life.
He examined his own Spirit Arts and Magic Arts. He had been practicing the Mysterious Sun True Flame all this while. However, he hadn't practiced the few powerful Magic Arts yet. Yi Tian chose three spells. They were the Mysterious Sun Fire Wheel Array, the Spiral True Fire Shield, and the True Flame Armor. These three spells could be practiced to the Jin Dan stage. They were relatively powerful moves among the intermediate level spells.
Other than that, Yi Tian was also preparing to cultivate the Scarlet Sun Sword. This move could be used to pass off as genuine. The true killing move of the Scarlet Sun True Flame was not similar. Therefore, even after cultivating it, Yi Tian was not prepared to expose it in front of too many people. It was to avoid being ridiculed.
Six years ago, Yi Tian had already fully practiced the second level spells of the Wind Escape Technique. He had also mastered the strengthened Gale Flash skill, Gale Misty Gale. The effect of using it when escaping was pretty good. With the combination of the Wood and Fire Spiritual Qi and the Wind Roc Cloak, his speed at full strength could be more than twice his usual speed. Just based on this point alone, he had escaped from the hands of a Golden Core cultivator twice.
After fully understanding the importance of the Wind Escape Technique, Yi Tian decided to prioritize the Wind Escape Technique and the Fire Escape Technique. With the combination of the two, although the Wind Escape Technique was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he didn't need a higher level Wind Escape Technique for the time being.
When he was in the Dark Cave, he had also copied the Wisdom King's Overturning Rain Hand. Yi Tian understood the principle of biting off more than he could chew. Although he had seen Shangguan Dingsheng use it and it was indeed very powerful, this was not yet on the agenda.
During the two expeditions to the Dark Cave and Purgatory Valley, Yi Tian had exposed the Asura's Dharma Body. He didn't expect that the Dharma Body, which he usually thought was the most useless, would actually have the ability to amplify spells. This greatly exceeded Yi Tian's expectations.
After seeing the incomplete Asura Transformation Technique, Yi Tian felt that this thing was definitely a Spiritual Art of the same level as the Mysterious Sun True Flame Technique. It was a pity that his cultivation time was too short. There were still many secrets that he had not discovered. If he could cultivate the first level to perfection, even if he was in the Middle Foundation Establishment stage, he should not be at a disadvantage against Yan Jungang, who was in the Late Foundation Establishment stage. Yi Tian was also determined to obtain the third level of the Cultivation Technique. The prerequisite was that he had to cultivate the second level of the Six Arms Technique before he could think of a way.
The matters of the sect would be taken care of by Yan Jungang. Yi Tian also didn't want to get too involved. Now that he was so close to Liu Piaopao, if he was caught with the crime of having an affair with a foreign enemy, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
After deciding on the path to take, Yi Tian also directly opened the cave residence's restriction and began five years of closed door cultivation. Since the sect's Martial Granduncle didn't want him to talk too much, then he would just do as he was told. Otherwise, he would be sent away again. Yi Tian didn't really want to go to the south for another fifty years of missions.
Everything was carried out step by step in an orderly manner. Yi Tian only followed his own cultivation progress. As for whether or not it would take five years or more, this was not something that Yi Tian needed to consider.
During these five years, the other inner disciples of the sect were all busy with the tasks assigned to them, or going out to look for opportunities to break through. However, the restriction on Young Eagle Mountain had only changed once in the past five years. If you counted the first time Yi Tian entered the cave residence, it had only been opened a total of three times in the past twenty years.
Yi Tian seemed to be unwilling to come out of the cave residence. For the sixth and seventh years, there was no movement from him. At the end of the seventh year, two cultivators flew over Young Eagle Mountain on their magic tools. After circling a few times, they stopped in front of Young Eagle Mountain's gate.
One of the two flying cultivators was wearing the Iron Sword Gate's inner disciple robes. The two of them each sent a Sound Transmission Talisman outside the restriction. Not long after, the restriction on the blessed land opened. After ten breaths of time, Yi Tian slowly flew out from behind the water curtain. Looking at the opposite side, he saw that it was Tang Lin and Guan Mingyi. Only then did Yi Tian remember what he had promised when he was at the Iron Sword Gate. It seemed that Guan Mingyi's visit must have brought enough materials to ask for Yi Tian's help.
After the three of them greeted each other in the air, Guan Mingyi also straightforwardly said, "Junior Martial Brother Yi, I haven't seen you in years. Your cultivation has improved so much. Congratulations!"
Seeing that Tang Lin was still the same, Yi Tian shook his head in his heart. Tang Lin being able to cultivate to the Jin Dan stage in this lifetime was already a great fortune. After more than twenty years, he was still lingering in the early Foundation Establishment stage. Now, compared to seven years ago, his cultivation growth was still limited.
Iron Sword Gate's elite cultivator and successor disciple, Guan Mingyi, seemed to have spent a lot of effort in the past seven years. His body's spiritual power was restrained and attached to the surface. His eyes were full of spirit, and his entire person was like a sheathed saber. In Chiyang School, apart from Yan Jungang of the Discipline Hall, Yi Tian really couldn't find anyone who could match him. Even now, if he didn't use his trump card, he might not be a match for him.
Yi Tian politely replied, "Senior Martial Brother Guan is the one making rapid progress. I estimate that in less than thirty years, you will be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Breaking through to the Jin Dan stage is just around the corner."
After a loud laugh, Guan Mingyi was a straightforward person. He went straight to the point and said, "Junior Martial Brother Yi, do you still remember the promise from back then?"
Yi Tian nodded and replied, "I have always remembered the matter that Senior Martial Brother Guan entrusted me with. I wonder if Senior Martial Brother Guan has already gathered the materials?"
Unexpectedly, Guan Mingyi's expression darkened and he said with a bit of frustration, "The other things are all ready. However, I have searched everywhere for the past few years and have yet to find a suitable grade five demon beast's spirit essence."
Hearing this, Yi Tian knew that the grade of the spirit artifact would be affected by the lack of the main materials. After looking at Guan Mingyi, he didn't say much and first ordered Tang Lin, "Help me send a message to the Artifact Hall's materials manager. Tell him that I want to invite him to the sect's reception hall."
Then, he invited Guan Mingyi to the reception hall to see if Chiyang School had any grade five demon beast's spirit essence. The three of them flew together towards the reception hall.
Normally, the Scarlet Sun Sect would receive foreign cultivators in the outer sect. Only important guests would be invited to the sect's reception hall. Moreover, only Core Disciples or Elder Jin Dan had the right to travel.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them arrived at the reception hall. After Yi Tian showed his identity jade tablet, a disciple led them to an Earth Room. After tea was served, the three of them sat down and waited for the Artifact Hall's people to arrive.
Before Yi Tian could swallow a mouthful of tea, he heard the sound of the door opening. The person who came in was actually Huang Ziang. Yi Tian was also stunned for a moment before he reacted. Huang Ziang had already been promoted to the Artifact Hall's materials manager.
After entering the door, Huang Ziang first greeted the few of them, then casually sat down. After pouring himself a cup of tea, he said to Yi Tian, "I've long heard that you've returned, but I've been to Kittyhawk Peak a few times and I've seen you in seclusion. Have you forgotten about your old friends?"
Laughing involuntarily, Yi Tian shook his head helplessly and said, "Forefather Chi Yang told me not to contact the sect's disciples and to wait until the limelight is over. I have no other choice."
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this. Yi Tian had finally reached the crux of the matter. However, Huang Ziang and Tang Lin also knew that this was not a joke. Otherwise, with Yi Tian's personality, he would have already held a banquet in the sect.
Seeing that the atmosphere wasn't right, Yi Tian changed the topic and said to Huang Ziang, "You're now in charge of the Artifact Hall's materials warehouse. You should know how much grade five demon beast's spirit essence is in there."
Guan Mingyi rushed to say, "Junior Martial Brother Yi is righteous, but you don't have to do this."
Unexpectedly, Yi Tian waved his hand to stop Guan Mingyi and said, "This is related to Senior Martial Brother's life treasure. You can't be careless. If Senior Martial Brother only uses a grade four spirit artifact as his life treasure, then it's better not to use it."
Hearing this, Guan Mingyi fell silent. Yi Tian's words were reasonable. If he used a grade four spirit artifact as his life treasure, then after entering the Jin Dan Realm, the level of his life treasure would be too low. It would be useless to Guan Mingyi, so it was better not to use it.
Huang Ziang was shocked. The cultivator from the Iron Sword Gate in front of him must be a late or even peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. Even Yi Tian was respectful to him, so he naturally couldn't act rashly. Then he sat down and said, "Reporting to Senior Martial Brother, there are three grade five demon beast's spirit essence in the Artifact Hall's warehouse. They are the Earth Demon Bear, the Flying Golden Roc, and the Deep Sea Poison Shark."
After hearing this, Guan Mingyi sighed with disappointment. These spirit essences were not compatible with his attributes. Even if he refined them into spirit artifacts, he couldn't keep them in his dantian.
Seeing this, Yi Tian said, "I have a grade five Purgatory Dog's spirit crystal, but I don't know if it's suitable."
Hearing this, Guan Mingyi's expression slightly improved. He turned to Yi Tian and cupped his hands, "Junior Martial Brother Yi, I'm afraid that your grade five demon beast's spirit essence isn't compatible with my attributes. This matter really makes Junior Martial Brother worry. This is also my opportunity yet to come. Never mind, I'll think of a way after I enter the Jin Dan Realm. Sorry for disturbing you."
Before Guan Mingyi got up, he heard Yi Tian ask, "What kind of spirit essence does Senior Martial Brother Guan need?"
"Of course it's a lightning attribute demon beast. But this type of demon beast is rare. If I enter the fifth level, I can look down on other demon beasts with this attribute alone. Even if I want to find this spirit essence, it'll be like looking for a needle in a haystack." Guan Mingyi was also dejected.
Tang Lin, who was sitting on the side, said, "In half a month, there will be an auction in Fenghua City. Senior Martial Brother, why don't you try your luck there?"
Hearing this, Yi Tian's eyes lit up. He really relied on Tang Lin when it came to treasure hunting. Guan Mingyi, on the other hand, had a face of disbelief, "Is this okay?"
