After leaving the residence of the Xun Prince, Yi Tian finally felt relieved. Mei Baiji also expressed his loyalty on the spot, stating that he was only loyal to Her Majesty the Empress, and would not help either side in the struggle for power between the two princes.
When the Empress regained control of the court in the future, he would naturally stand out and speak for her. From what Mei Baiji had said, there were many such cultivators in the Asura Dynasty. Although they all appeared impartial on the surface, they were all silently waiting for the right time to come.
Moreover, a considerable portion of the Asura Dynasty was hereditary. This would greatly limit the dynasty's development, but at the current stage, the royalist faction was still very powerful. It was just that they did not have a leader, so the various large families tacitly chose to remain silent. Once there was any movement, this faction would definitely be activated.
Although Yi Tian still had some doubts about Mei Baiji's words, he at least had an idea in his heart. It seemed that his current situation was not as bad as he had imagined. Everything would have to be decided after he entered the Fire Essence Secret Realm.
Now that he thought about it, he could first gather the materials to refine spirit treasures. Apart from the Rainbow Illusion Crystal, he still lacked the Meteoric Iron Essence and Profound Heaven Wood Core.
He could still find Scarlet Dress to adjust the former, but the Profound Heaven Wood Core was a Heaven Grade treasure, and he had only seen it in the travel jade slips in the Spirit Realm.
Without the Profound Heaven Wood Core, it would be difficult to refine spirit treasures. At this moment, Yi Tian felt that he had been too full of himself. However, since things had already come to this, it was best to look around first.
After strolling around the streets, Yi Tian once again arrived at the Red Alluring Society's residence. This time, he was familiar with the place. When the attendants saw him, they naturally knew how to greet him. After arranging a reception room, they hurriedly went to find the leader.
Half a day later, Yi Tian came out of the Red Alluring Society with a mixed expression of worry and joy. Scarlet Dress could be considered generous, helping him solve the problem of the Meteoric Iron Essence. Although her asking price wasn't cheap, she had finally gathered all the precious materials she needed.
However, the Profound Heaven Wood Core was still nowhere to be found. Even Scarlet Robe herself had said that she had only seen this spirit plant material in some ancient jade slips, but had never seen the real thing.
Just as Yi Tian was feeling helpless, Scarlet Robe gave him a clue. The only high level alchemist in Di Luo City, Zhou Xiang, was very experienced and knowledgeable. He also had many rare spirit herbs and precious materials on hand. If they couldn't find any more clues from him, then they could only drop the matter.
With the feeling of a blind cat running into a dead mouse, Yi Tian could only brace himself and head towards the place where the high grade alchemist, Zhou Xiang, was stationed, hoping that he would be able to gain something.
Most of the alchemists in Di Luo City gathered near Qiyu Mountain in the southern part of the city. The foot of the mountain was also filled with alchemy stores. In addition to buying and selling alchemy pills, there were also many medicinal herb dealers gathered here.
After Yi Tian restrained his cultivation, he continued on his way. After passing through the main market in the southern part of the city, he also inquired about the exact location of the cave abode of the high grade alchemist, Zhou Xiang.
At the same time, he also learned that this person had a strange temperament. If he liked him, he would naturally have a kind heart. If he didn't like him, then even a mountain of gold and silver might not be able to move him.
Fortunately, this person's cultivation was at the early stage of the Spirit Severing Stage. However, Yi Tian wasn't willing to use his power to pressure others, so he simply used the simplest method to ask for alchemy pills.
After walking all the way up from the foot of Qiyu Mountain, he found that there were many people who came here to ask for alchemy pills. However, there wasn't only one high grade alchemist here. Several of Zhou Xiang's disciples had also opened up cave abodes on Qiyu Mountain.
Many people were here for his disciples. After all, the difference in cultivation was too great. Yi Tian walked all the way up and found that there were fewer and fewer people halfway up the mountain. As he walked further up, his Divine Sense sensed that there was a cave abode at the end of the mountain path. From the strength of the restrictions outside, it should have been set up by Zhou Xiang.
As he walked forward, Yi Tian formed a seal and his figure gradually became hazy. After ten breaths of time, he appeared on the mountain path. At the same time, there seemed to be a streak of light flying towards Qiyu Mountain. This streak of light contained traces of black fiendish aura. Looking at the strength of the spirit force, it was at least at the mid stage of the Spirit Severing Stage.
Yi Tian frowned and withdrew his Divine Sense. He then sped up towards Zhou Xiang's cave abode. In less than half an hour, the streak of light landed in front of him and arrived at the cave abode at the end of the mountain path.
When the black light retreated, the figure inside was revealed. It was the imperial guard's general, Ke Zhennan. However, Yi Tian found that this person's face seemed to be a bit unwell. He most likely suffered a loss while chasing after the middle grade martial demon. He was holding the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade that Zhao Jiuge had put up for sale.
Ke Zhennan didn't retract his Asura avatar. Compared to Luo Yao's avatar, which had three heads and six arms, Ke Zhennan's avatar looked slightly weaker.
Before Zhao Jiuge arrived, Zhao Jiuge had already knocked on the door. The door to Shaoqing's cave opened slightly, revealing a hole about three feet wide. A Nascent Soul cultivator dressed as a Daoist child walked out. He took out a restriction token and opened the restriction outside the cave. He respectfully said, "My master is at a critical moment in pill refining. He ordered me to welcome two guests to the cave abode's living room. After he finishes refining the pill, he will personally come out to welcome you."
Ke Zhennan frowned and turned to look at the mountain path behind him. Three breaths later, a figure slowly appeared on the mountain path. It was Yi Tian, who was walking over quickly.
Ke Zhennan coldly snorted and said, "Hiding is not the conduct of a gentleman."
Yi Tian was startled, but he didn't get angry. He didn't want to become enemies with Ke Zhennan. He patiently walked forward and bowed to the child, "Rogue cultivator Yi Tian has disturbed Grandmaster Zhou Xiang's cultivation. It is truly a sin."
"My master said that Senior is following the correct steps to go up the mountain. Naturally, you can't be negligent. Also, please go into the cave and rest for a while." After that, the child opened up a path and made an inviting gesture.
Hearing this, Yi Tian smiled faintly, then glanced at Ke Zhennan, who was standing at the side, and walked in.
The child obviously didn't dare to offend Ke Zhennan. He immediately said a few polite words and led him into the cave abode.
After a few turns in the cave abode, they arrived at a spacious stone room. There was a teapot on the table. At this moment, the water was boiling. The child first invited the two to sit down and poured them a cup of tea. Then, he obediently stood to the side and waited.
Yi Tian saw this and gently drank the tea. He coldly looked at Ke Zhennan, who was sitting on the side. Ke Zhennan didn't seem to be good at this and just sat there quietly. However, his face gradually became gloomy. He seemed to be dissatisfied with Zhou Xiang's hospitality.
