Yi Tian settled down in the temporary cave house in the Billow Cloud Residence. After opening the sealing enchantment, he quietly extended his spirit sense out of the cave and began to explore the situation of Yun Lin's mansion.
What he didn't expect was that the area within a radius of a hundred miles was almost completely open. Perhaps it was because Yun Lin liked to be quiet, so he could detect less than a hundred living people in the entire mansion. Most of them were gathered in the front yard. Only a few high-level cultivators opened up small caves in some areas of the backyard.
The area was not large. Even the private courtyard where Hao Ren was located was only one-third the size of his own. From this, it seemed that Yun Lin had spent some effort in making arrangements to befriend him.
In addition to these, less than half of the entire area of the entire mansion was set up with enchantment enchantment. His spirit sense couldn't penetrate the enchantment without alarming others. Needless to say, that must be the location of Yun Lin's cave house.
In the entire backyard mansion, including himself, there were only four Severed Soul cultivators. Except for Hao Ren, the other two lived in the north side of the mansion. Moreover, the cave houses of the two were not far from each other. Their residences were also next to each other. Judging from the signs erected on the stone path, the two should be alchemists, which could be regarded as the consecrators of the mansion.
However, this was understandable. Yun Lin couldn't do everything by herself. It was understandable that she recruited some cultivators with special skills as consecrators.
After roughly figuring out the situation here, Yi Tian still felt that he should find a chance to go out, but how to go out was also a task that required a lot of skills.
He could go out of the cave house openly, but it would inevitably alarm the people in the mansion. It didn't matter if others saw it, but it seemed to be inappropriate if Yun Lin heard it.
Moreover, Hao Ren would not relax his surveillance. If his whereabouts were discovered by Hao Ren, wouldn't he be looked down upon by others?
After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and took out a humanoid puppet. Then, he took out some talisman brushes and talisman paper and began to dress it up. After a while, he drew a substitute talisman, reached out and gently injected a trace of spiritual power to activate the talisman, and then directly stuck it on the forehead of the humanoid puppet. Then, he quickly formed a hand seal in front of his chest and chanted an incantation before pointing at the humanoid puppet in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, a spiritual light flashed from the talisman and enveloped the entire humanoid puppet. Ten breaths later, when the spiritual light faded away, the appearance of the puppet was exactly the same as his. In addition, Yi Tian could also remotely control this humanoid puppet through the talisman.
Because he was originally at the Severed Soul stage, he could go out to meet Hao Ren or even fight with others. As long as there weren't any Body Integration cultivators or Severed Soul cultivators present, it would be very difficult for them to discover his clone.
After doing all that, Yi Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He then slowly stood up and had the puppet sit cross-legged in his previous position. His main body became increasingly blurry, and soon, his figure disappeared from the cave abode. The spiritual pressure fluctuations on his body were also concealed, and he escaped into the void.
Ten breaths later, when Yi Tian changed his clothes and passed by the gate of the Billowy Cloud Residence again, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He then turned around and walked in the other direction of the imperial city.
It was not easy to come to Asura Imperial City, so he had to understand the local conditions and customs of this place to make this trip worthwhile. But first, he had to find a place to buy a map of the imperial city. In addition, he had to inquire about the specialty treasures and elixirs of the imperial city. Finally, he had to go to the residences of Prince Wei and Lord Xun. At the same time, he had to understand the composition of their forces in the imperial court.
After formulating a strategy, Yi Tian first walked to the busiest commercial street in the imperial city. The population of Asura was small, so there would be a lot of foreign cultivators here. At this time, Yi Tian restrained the spiritual pressure fluctuations around him and then disguised himself as an early-stage Severed Soul cultivator.
To be honest, there were almost no Severed Soul cultivators on the streets of the imperial city. If he didn't want to attract attention, it was necessary to do so. Most of the cultivators in front of him were in the Yuanying and Severed Soul cultivators.
After walking a few streets, Yi Tian saw Earth Dragon Carriages carrying passengers everywhere on the streets of the imperial city. These carriages were all written with the uniform sign 'Asura Express'. This was a bit like the main means of transportation in the imperial city. Because except for Body Integration cultivators, the imperial guards of the imperial city, and a group of Asura officials above the Severed Soul stage, no one else could fly in the air.
Fortunately, Hao Ren had briefly explained the many taboos in the imperial city to Yi Tian before this. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He did not want to be a maverick, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
After walking on the street for a while, he found that there was still a strict hierarchy in the Asura Tribe. The Earth Dragon Carriages of the noble families had obvious symbols painted on the outside.
After asking the passers-by on the street, he learned that these symbols officially represented the forces behind them. Moreover, ordinary Earth Dragon Chariots would have to give way to them. Even if a Deity Transformation Stage cultivator was sitting in the chariot, he would have to give way to a Nascent Soul Stage or even a Golden Core Stage disciple of a big clan.
It was precisely because of this strict implementation of the hierarchy that the Asura Clan was able to stand firmly above the other races and firmly rule the Asura World.
Yi Tian just curled his lips in disdain. He despised these lineage theorists the most from the bottom of his heart. They only relied on the remaining power of their ancestors to deter others, while he lived in this circle all his life. No wonder the Asura World could not expand outward. It was obvious that this strategy was very good to maintain stability.
Moreover, the promotion of personnel in the Asura Tribe would not be strictly based on merit. Many excellent clansmen were bound to be suppressed. In the long run, there were some benefits to the imperial rule, but the drawbacks were even greater. Now there were a few Body Integration cultivators who came out to maintain the situation, but once there was any change, it would definitely cause internal strife. After all, the seeds of this disaster had already been planted and sprouted.
Soon, Yi Tian ended his aimless stroll and found a large shop called Gathering the World on the street. After inquiring that he could buy the unique treasures of this world, he went straight in.
At this time, Yi Tian had already transformed into a dull scholar under the Thousand Faces Technique. Even if he stood next to someone familiar, they might not recognize him.
After walking into the shop, a quick-witted shop assistant came forward to greet him, and then led him straight to the elegant room on the second floor. After a while, the shopkeeper sent someone to negotiate.
