Yi Ji Grain Store closed for the night. Fortunately, the door staff recognized Yi Tian and opened the back door to let Yi Tian in.
Seeing that Uncle and the servants were all asleep, he went straight back to his room.
After returning to his room, Yi Tian took out the spoils of war he had plundered today. After counting, he found that there was only a tattered scroll called Yi Wood Spirit Art and a few stones.
The stones were cool and comfortable to the touch. He was overjoyed, but when he finished inspecting the sand, he found that there were only a few packets of medicinal powder and some banknotes. He couldn't help but be disappointed.
After carefully reading the Yi Wood Spirit Art, Yi Tian sank into deep thought. According to what it said, as long as a mortal had spiritual roots, they could cultivate. The first step was to draw spiritual energy into the body and circulate it through the body. Finally, the spiritual energy would be stored in the lower dantian's sea of energy. Then, one would be considered to have cultivated to the first level of Qi Disciple.
This Yi Wood Spirit Art was a wood attribute spirit art. Only those with wood spiritual roots could cultivate with twice the results with half the effort.
If one didn't have wood spiritual roots, then they still couldn't cultivate. Seeing this, Yi Tian was also depressed. So there were so many things to pay attention to in cultivating.
Fortunately, at the end of the book, there were some records about how to let people without wood spiritual roots cultivate the Yi Wood Spirit Art. They could refine Qi Drawing Powder to help cultivators without wood spiritual roots comprehend spiritual energy and cultivate. However, the True Qi cultivated would not be as good as the original.
Yi Tian couldn't help but associate it with Xuji Medicine Store Li Da's medicine refining room that had suddenly transported so many medicinal ingredients to refine Qi Drawing Powder.
It seemed that these medicinal ingredients were the Qi Drawing Powder that Tong Chi had prepared for his younger brother. Now that he had benefited from it, he didn't know if the two brothers would be so angry that they would vomit blood in the underworld.
According to the spirit art, there were three more spells, namely Green Ray Eye, Escaping Wooden Stake, and Royal Spirit Shield.
It seemed that Tong Chi had used Green Ray Eye at the gambling house. He had used Royal Spirit Shield to block the three gang leaders, and Escaping Wooden Stake to defeat Ren Liang.
However, the spirit art emphasized that Green Ray Eye could be cultivated at the first level of Qi Disciple. At the second level of Qi Disciple, one could barely use Escaping Wooden Stake and Royal Spirit Shield. Only at the third level of Qi Disciple could use them freely.
Looking at Tong Chi's appearance, he must have forcefully used a spell at Qi Cultivation Level Two. In the end, he was forced to the point where his spiritual energy was in chaos. Even Yi Tian, who was at Houtian Realm Level Five, could easily deal with him.
If he wanted to cultivate the Yi Wood Spirit Art, he would need to find a place with abundant spirit energy and complete the first stage of drawing spirit energy into his body according to the spirit art's records.
It would be best if he had the assistance of spirit stones, which would allow his first cultivation to have enough spiritual energy to form a wood-type Qi Sea in his lower dantian.
Yi Tian turned around and looked at the two stones, they should be spirit stones, no wonder Tong Chi would put the spirit art together with them.
For immortal cultivators, banknotes in the mortal world were regarded as dirt.
This Yi Wood Spirit Art looked quite old. It was probably something that Tong Chi dug out from some tomb.
The most important thing in cultivation was to see if one had spiritual roots. Yi Tian was confused about this, but now that the opportunity had appeared, how would he know if he didn't try? Moreover, there was the Qi Drawing Powder to assist him. This time, it looked like he would have to rely on luck.
For the entire day, Yi Tian had experienced the ups and downs of life, so he was exhausted. After hiding everything, he closed his clothes and fell asleep.
The next day, Yi Tian returned to the White Horse Gang. Yesterday's battle was so big that he had to understand the situation first.
Ren Kui and the others were all fine. The casino was still open as usual. Business was still going on as usual, and alcohol was still being drunk. No one could see that a shocking gambling had occurred here yesterday.
Yi Tian worked at the casino for a few days. He planned to find an opportunity to take a few days off and return to his hometown to find a place to quickly cultivate.
Now, it was a race against time. Time didn't wait for anyone.
Recently, the White Horse Gang helped Wang Gui to have a hard time. For no reason at all, they had lost a million taels of silver, which was the White Horse Gang's many years of savings.
This time, they had suffered a serious injury. Without money, the brothers in the gang also had a hard time. Fortunately, the casino, the brothel, and the escort company, these three golden egg-laying hens, were still there.
These past few years, at most, they had to tighten their belts. Otherwise, they would have to return to their old profession of robbery.
The Green Bamboo Sect also had a hard time. That night, the Tong Chi brothers did not return. Xu Kaishan alone forced the White Horse Gang's three leaders to retreat. His subordinates also suffered some losses.
The ones who suffered the heaviest injuries were Commander Zhang and Commander Liu. At that time, they risked their lives to fight for the Tong Chi brothers. They exchanged injuries for injuries. By the time they were rescued, they were already half dead.
The Green Bamboo Sect searched for the Tong Chi brothers in the southern part of the city for several days to no avail. They gradually gave up.
Now that the situation was calm, Yi Tian asked Ren Kui for a long vacation to return to his hometown to visit his relatives. Ren Kui was also in a bad mood recently.
That night, when Wang Bao brought his nephew back, he had already fainted. After returning, he found several doctors to examine him, but they were all ineffective.
Now, he was unconscious. The doctor said that Ren Liang's chest and the back of his head were injured by a hard object, and his internal injuries were serious.
If he could not expel the blood clots in his body as soon as possible, his life would be in danger. After this recovery, it would be difficult for his martial arts to advance.
Yi Tian was puzzled. At that time, he only saw Ren Liang's chest being injured. Where did the injury to the back of his head come from?
At that time, when he was rescuing him, he only saw Wang Bao at his side from a distance. It seemed that the White Horse Gang's water was very deep.
Yi Tian understood, but he did not need to care too much about the gang's matters. After Ren Kui gave him a month's vacation, he directly returned to the Yi Ji Grain Store.
After returning home, he explained the purpose of his visit to his uncle. He packed up the things in his room and carried a divination knife on his back. He sat on the grain store's carriage and returned to his hometown.
It had been many years since they parted. Yi Tian had already left home for four years. During this time, because he was practicing martial arts with the White Horse Gang, he usually did not have time to visit his hometown.
In these past few years, Yi Tian's status in the White Horse Gang had risen, and his family had also benefited.
Every time his father, Yi Tian, transported grain into the city, he would receive banknotes from Yi Tian. Now, the Yi Family was the most extravagant in the entire Hewan Village.
The villagers all knew that the Yi Family had produced a capable person who had made a lot of money in the county seat. In these past few years, the Yi Family had become extravagant, and their house had been renovated.
The original thatched huts had been replaced with brick houses, and the Yi Family's ancestral hall had been renovated.
This time, Yi Tian did not care about these matters. He rested at home for one night, and the next day, he carried his luggage and ran to Mount Yi.
There were many people in the secular world, and this time, he entered the mountain to find a suitable place to cultivate the Wood Spirit Art.
Yi Tian had prepared enough dry food and water in advance. He took his satchel and checked all of his belongings. His heart was in a trance, and he did not know if this trip would be successful.
Few people came to Mount Yi. At most, some fox hunters would enter the mountain to hunt, but they did not dare to go too deep.
He followed the mountain path until there was no path in front of him. Then, he used the Vanishing Shadow Step and leaped forward in the mountain valley. Finally, he arrived at a small valley.
After confirming that there was no one around, Yi Tian opened his bag and took out the Yi Wood Spirit Art. He placed the spirit stones and Qi Drawing Powder on the ground, and sat cross-legged in the middle.
According to the Spirit Art's records, it was best to take the Qi Drawing Powder in an environment without any disturbances and without any distracting thoughts for the Qi Drawing Powder to be effective.
For this reason, Yi Tian adjusted his state of mind. First, he meditated for two hours, expelling all distracting thoughts from his body. When his mood was calm, he slowly cultivated according to the Wood Spirit Art's records.
When his dantian was slightly warm, Yi Tian took the Qi Drawing Powder and found that he could slowly absorb the surrounding spirit energy.
This spirit energy slowly flowed through his veins and gathered in his dantian after one cycle.
Yi Tian was delighted. He did not expect to be able to draw Qi into his body so easily. The spirit energy in his dantian increased little by little.
His entire body felt light, and such a wonderful feeling suddenly slowed down. The originally endless spirit energy slowly became thin.
Yi Tian felt a burst of fear. If this stage of drawing Qi into his body was interrupted, the consequences would be unimaginable. If he had to blame something, he could only blame the spirit energy here for not being enough.
After a glance, he saw the spirit stones beside him. Now, he did not care so much. He grabbed a spirit stone and placed it in his palm. Then, he circulated the Spirit Art and felt an endless stream of spirit energy enter his body from the spirit stone.
The spirit energy in his dantian suddenly became thicker and continuously poured in. When Yi Tian felt that the spirit energy in his dantian was full, he circulated the Yi Wood Spirit Art and circulated the spirit energy in his four limbs and hundred acupoints three times before slowly stopping.
After the spirit energy returned to his dantian, Yi Tian finished drawing Qi into his body. After stopping, he used the Spirit Art's Inner Vision technique to see that there was indeed true energy flowing in his dantian. There was even a faint green color. It seemed that he was a lucky person. He really did have a Wood Spirit Root.
From now on, Yi Tian could be considered to have officially taken one step into the path of cultivation. His entire body felt especially excited.
Yi Tian laughed heartily in the valley. This was an opportunity bestowed to him by the heavens, even though it was only the first step.
As long as he diligently cultivated, his future would be in his own hands. Looking down, the spirit stone in his hand had already turned into an ordinary stone.
The first time he drew Qi into his body, he needed a large amount of spirit energy. This spirit stone had already been used up.
Following a rumbling sound from his stomach, Yi Tian felt hungry. He raised his head to look at the sky. He had been sitting in the valley for half a day and the sky had already turned dark.
Cultivators would still feel hungry. Fortunately, Yi Tian had brought enough rations and water with him when he entered the mountain.
After eating and drinking, Yi Tian rested for a few hours. The next day, when he continued to cultivate the Yi Wood Spirit Art, he discovered that the results were much worse than the first time he drew Qi into his body.
The spirit energy in his dantian had only increased by a little. It seemed that cultivation was a painstaking effort and could not be rushed.
After five days of cultivation, Yi Tian took some time to look at the description of the Azure Light Eye. It turned out that this was the basic magic of the Wood Spirit Art. As long as one gathered spirit energy in their eyes, they could see through objects.
After Yi Tian practiced it once, he discovered that the spirit energy in his body had decreased by a quarter. He was so scared that he did not dare to try it again.
He remembered that Tong Chi had used it four times in a row at the Four Seas Casino. It seemed that the gap between him and him was not small.
Ten days after entering the mountain, Yi Tian felt that his cultivation progress was slow. It would be better to return to the village first so that his family would not worry.
The dry food he had brought was almost used up. It was time to adjust. Practicing martial arts required a balance of tension and relaxation. Cultivation was the same.
On the way back, Yi Tian rushed through the night. When he used the Vanishing Shadow Step, he discovered that his speed was much faster than before. Every time he used his Qi to jump, he could feel that his Qi was full. He did not feel tired running all the way.
He immediately tried using the Ferocious Tiger Fists and the Five Tiger Gate Breaking Blade. He discovered that there were many surprises. His fists were swift and violent, and the blade was sharp. Although there was no blade aura attached to the blade, its power was astonishing.
Yi Tian followed the way he used to practice martial arts and threw punches at the trees. After a series of chaotic punches, he saw three inch deep fist marks. Finally, his tiger claws forcibly broke the trunk of a tree that was as thick as a water bucket.
It turned out that he had absorbed Qi into his body and his mortal martial arts had also improved. With his current strength, he could easily reach Houtian Realm Level Six.
In addition to being happy, Yi Tian was filled with confidence in his cultivation. Tong Chi, at Qi Disciple Stage Two, could use the Imperial Spirit Shield to block the combined attack of the three leaders of the White Horse Gang. As long as he reached Qi Disciple Stage Three, he would be invincible in River Wan County.
As he walked and thought, Yi Tian suddenly discovered a very serious matter. The mountain was foggy, causing him to get lost.
When he was young, he had followed Yi Er to Mount Yi several times. This situation had never happened.
Yi Tian was anxious and quickened his footsteps. After walking for an hour, he realized that he seemed to have returned to the original place.
Relying on the moonlight, Yi Tian drew his blade and slashed a large cross on a tree. Then, he continued on his way.
After that, Yi Tian became cautious and walked slowly. After a while, he still returned to the original position of the mark.
This time, Yi Tian panicked. Could it be that the Old Master used to talk about the ghost wall in Mount Yi?
This was a legend of the older generation. Don't go into the mountain at night, for fear of encountering the ghost wall and not being able to come out. Yi Tian looked at the sky and estimated that it would be daybreak in another two hours. Since he couldn't go out, he simply sat on the ground and started to circulate the Yi Wood Spirit Technique.
A ray of light from the east illuminated Mount Yi. Yi Tian opened his eyes. After sitting under the tree and cultivating for four hours, his exhausted physical strength had been replenished.
He stood up and looked around. The fog had already dispersed. Yi Tian didn't dare to stay for long and rushed down the mountain. There was definitely something strange about Mount Yi. He couldn't see it during the day, but it was strange at night. After he mastered the technique, he had to properly investigate.
