The annual meeting of the Weapon Hall was still going on. After the little episode just now, many of the people present sat down obediently and didn't say a word. They didn't want to leave a bad impression on the Weapon Hall's acting deacon and direct disciple, Yi Tian.
Pei Ming and Qi Haosi sat on the left and right respectively. Although their cultivation levels were higher than Yi Tian's, Yi Tian's identity was there. Furthermore, he had just forged two level-five spirit artifacts. In this cultivation world where the strong were respected, it was not unreasonable for Yi Tian to sit on the main seat. Pei Ming, who was sitting on the left, was also smiling apologetically. There was no point in saying anything now. Qi Haosi, on the other hand, was sitting on the right. His face was filled with excitement, which was completely different from the old monk's meditative appearance just now.
The disciples of Pei Ming's faction who were seated below all glanced over, and their hearts could not help but beat like a drum. Had they bowed to the wrong person? It was obvious that this Qi Haosi was the one who wore the same pants as their eldest senior brother, Yi Tian.
The one with the biggest contrast was Huang Ziang. He sat in the last row of the Foundation Establishment cultivators. He was now very energetic and didn't feel sleepy at all. Many of his fellow disciples looked at him enviously. Everyone knew what kind of relationship this guy had with the person sitting above. This time, the other party had returned with a strong momentum and would definitely take good care of him.
Seeing that everyone had sat down and listened, Yi Tian coughed twice and said, "Bring up the spirit qi from this year's annual meeting and evaluate it. I haven't been in the Weapon Hall for so many years. Today, I'll take this opportunity to see if there are any outstanding talents in the sect who can take on great responsibilities."
Wan Rui, who was sitting below, was panicking. He had a conflict with Yi Tian more than 30 years ago. Back then, he even suspected that there was a problem with the artifact that Yi Tian had forged during the entrance test. Now, the tables had turned. He only hoped that Yi Tian's memory wasn't so strong and that he would dig up all the old scores.
Pei Ming had no other choice. Although he had already come to a conclusion, that was just now. Now that Yi Tian was here, he didn't count. The process had to start all over again. Pei Ming was speechless when he saw Yi Tian sitting on the main seat with his legs crossed and being as friendly as Qi Haosi. He could only hand over the spirit sword refined by Wan Rui and explain, "This year, the materials in the warehouse managed by Huang Ziang are in a deficit, so all the senior and junior brothers gathered the materials on their own, so there will be differences in quality."
Unexpectedly, Yi Tian just said, "There's no problem with the storage of the Artifact Hall that Huang Ziang is in charge of. It was me who paid for the materials in advance. Because of the lack of time, I planned to go to the storage after I finished refining. Moreover, I also gave Senior Brother Guan Mingyi of the Iron Sword Gate 200,000 Spirit Stones to Senior Brother Qi."
Qi Haosi, who was on the side, also took out four storage bags at the wrong time and said, "I just got them not long ago. I planned to put them in the public account of the Artifact Hall after the annual meeting. Now that everyone is here, the deacon can count them in person." Then he asked Huang Ziang to count them.
The latter naturally came up happily. He directly took the four storage bags in front of everyone and pretended to count them. Then he said with a serious face, "Reporting to Senior Brother, the things have been counted. 150,000 Spirit Stones and more than 50,000 rare materials. Put them directly into the public account of the Artifact Hall for all parties to check." After that, he called several other deacons in the hall together and distributed the Spirit Stones to register.
In this way, Pei Ming couldn't continue to pursue the matter. He could only smile at Yi Tian and said, "Since Senior Brother Yi wants to take them, there's no problem. It's just that this time, Junior Brother Yi seems to have refined two Level Five Spiritual Artifacts. I don't know if you have paid enough Spirit Stones or contribution points."
At this time, Qi Haosi, who was on the side, spoke again, "Senior Brother True Disciple will naturally follow the rules of the Artifact Hall when taking the materials. In the past 30 years, Yi Tian has never received any offerings or bonuses from the Artifact Hall. This time, he will take them all. Moreover, he also paid 1,500 contribution points. According to the preferential policy for true disciples, he can get a 20% discount. The cost of the materials will be more than enough." After that, he took out the roster of the Artifact Hall and handed it to Pei Ming.
Pei Ming knew that these three people were in cahoots. They must have thought about all the loopholes in advance. Pei Ming could only swallow his broken teeth and swallow his broken teeth. This time, he was in trouble. He just wanted to see how Yi Tian would deal with Wan Rui. If he was unfair, he would have to take action again.
Yi Tian, who was sitting on the main seat, twirled the Spirit Sword with two fingers. Then, he smiled and said, "Junior Brother Wan is really an outstanding talent in the sect. You can refine a Level Four Spiritual Artifact at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. En, not bad, not bad. Where are the task deacons? Find out all the requests for next year's refining. Find ten Spirit Swords and give them directly to Junior Brother Wan."
After smiling, Yi Tian said to Wan Rui, "Junior Brother's talent can't be wasted. In these few years, work hard for the Artifact Hall. You can also cultivate in the refining room. It's not a problem, not a problem."
Hearing this, Wan Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother True Disciple, for your guidance."
Yi Tian, who was sitting on the main seat, knew that this white and fat guy had asked him many times in his heart. He had to stay alert and not rest for the next year. Then, he turned to Pei Ming and said, "Junior Brother Pei, what do you think?"
Pei Ming could only nod and agree. At this time, even if it wasn't for him, he would still be able to endure. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay in this position for so many years in vain.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Yi Tian ordered that Huang Ziang continue to be the Artifact Hall's storage deacon for ten years. Ignoring everyone's reaction, he got up and walked to the back of the hall. Huang Ziang's laughter could be heard from the main hall, "Don't worry, Direct Disciple Senior Brother. My waist is strong enough to be a deacon for twenty years."
Half a day later, in Huang Ziang's cave residence, there were a few people sitting in a circle. They were Tang Lin, Wu Xing, Huang Ziang, Qu Yifeng, and Qi Haosi. The main reason was that Huang Ziang had invited everyone to come along with him. Qu Yifeng just happened to have something to discuss with Yi Tian, so he came along for the meal.
Everyone finally gathered together after so many years. They were eating roasted electric dragon meat with pride. At the side, Tang Lin was explaining the process of slaying the dragon that day. However, it was completely his own performance and he ignored the others.
Yi Tian, who was drinking wine, also had a tacit understanding. Anyway, anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on. Qu Yifeng said to Tang Lin disdainfully, "Stop bragging. That Level Five demonic beast is comparable to an Early-stage Jindan Stage cultivator. You were at most an assistant. I reckon that Guan Mingyi from the Iron Sword Sect was the main attacker. It's just a trick to fool a child." These words aroused Tang Lin's drunkenness, and the two people began to argue with each other.
Yi Tian, who was on the side, did tell Qi Haosi to be careful of the counterattack of Pei Ming's faction. Although he could still suppress it now, he didn't know when the other party would find a chance to get back at him. Qi Haosi also nodded repeatedly. In the past few years, the two of them had been fighting fiercely. He also knew the strength of the other party. He even told Yi Tian not to worry and that he would keep an eye on this matter.
What really made Yi Tian fearful was that 'Ye Xiao' from the White Bone Gate. He didn't know why he had been hiding in Chiyang School for so long. It was fine if these people didn't make a move, but once they made a move, they would definitely strike like lightning. They had to be on guard. However, it was useless to tell this to the people in front of him. Other than Qu Yifeng who knew some inside information, Yi Tian didn't want to implicate anyone else.
While everyone was around, Yi Tian also asked Wu Xing about Zhao Xinmeng. The answer he received was that the two of them were still in a competitive state on the surface. Ever since the White Bone Gate removed the arrest warrant for Wu Xing, Zhao Xinmeng had received orders to deliberately keep her distance. However, the two of them were still communicating in private. They used the alchemy room in the alchemy hall to keep in touch.
Wu Xing also mentioned that Hua Shicheng had left the sect ten years ago. His Taoist foundation was damaged and it would be very difficult to recover in this lifetime. Therefore, he found a job to establish a cultivation family in a country affiliated to Chiyang School. He hoped that after ten years, his descendants could enter Chiyang School and continue his cultivation dream. After hearing this, Yi Tian didn't feel very good. He thought about how many people here would be established in a hundred years.
After fooling around for half a day, when the banquet was over, Yi Tian followed Qu Yifeng back to the Commandment Hall. He heard that this time it was Yan Jungang who was looking for him. Yi Tian knew that it might be about eradicating the traitor. He had just returned to the Artifact Hall for a few days, but he was caught to be an able-bodied man. He was really unhappy. On the other hand, Qu Yifeng pestered Yi Tian all the way and asked him about the process of slaughtering the flood dragon. Yi Tian had to tell the truth, but he didn't tell Qu Yifeng about Zhuge Wudi's moves.
After arriving at the Commandment Hall, the two of them went directly into the back hall without any notice. Under Yi Tian's puzzled face, Qu Yifeng showed the token in his hand. It turned out that since Shen Peiqi guarded Green Laurel Lane outside, he had now become Yan Jungang's deputy. Therefore, most of the staff in the Commandment Hall knew him, and Yi Tian naturally followed him without any hindrance.
Yan Jungang, who was sitting at the top, was still the same as before. With many years of investigation experience, he seemed to be more profound and sophisticated. Yi Tian estimated that Yan Jungang's cultivation was stronger than Yan Jungang's. Comparing the two of them, Yan Jungang should have reached the stage of Jin Dan first, and conservatively estimated that it would be less than 20 years.
After the three of them sat down, Yan Jungang first praised Yi Tian, saying that he knew when to advance and when to retreat, and that he understood the meaning of the higher-ups. Then he opened a soundproof Bounded Domain and said directly, "This time I invited you here because I have something to ask of you. I think you're the most suitable one."
Seeing Yi Tian looking at him in confusion, Yan Jungang continued, "In recent years, the spies of the White Bone Gate in the inner core have been restless again, and it seems that they are plotting something big."
"What's the matter? Is it related to supper? "
Qu Yifeng, who was sitting at the side, obviously heard this name for the first time, but he was also very alert. Among them, he had the least backup, and his strength was the weakest in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, so he could only listen.
Yan Jungang thought for a moment and said, "I'm preparing to go into seclusion to break through to the stage of Jin Dan. It will probably take about 20 years. When I'm not here, I will arrange for Shen Peiqi to take over my position. Gao Yuanfan and Lu Qihao have no objections, but I'm afraid that Jin Sheng will play tricks, so I'm going to act first and report later. With Martial Uncle Ye's help, I think there won't be any big problems."
Yi Tian, who had a dissatisfied look, looked at Yan Jungang and said, "Then should I be temporarily transferred to the Commandment Hall? Is there a secret mission?"
"Actually, I want you to help me investigate something. Although it's a bit complicated, when it's done, you'll get some benefits. I guarantee that you'll be able to advance smoothly."
Hearing that there were great benefits, Yi Tian became excited and hurriedly asked Yan Jungang to tell him all the details. Don't keep him in suspense.
