After discussing things with Mei Baiji, Yi Tian left through the back door of the Floating Immortal Inn. He now had a command medallion for this place, so he could use it as a temporary contact point with Luo Ziyan in the future.
In truth, although Mei Baiji was treating him with great respect, he didn't know if he had any other motives. Furthermore, someone like him who cultivated a secret technique that allowed him to sense the presence of the imperial clan's cultivators most likely knew about it as well. It would be inappropriate for him to be seen contacting Mei Baiji, but for now, he could only contact the imperial clan through Mei Baiji.
Yi Tian thought about it in his heart. He still wanted to bypass Yun Lin and directly find the main character, Luo Ziyan, and ask him about his thoughts and plans regarding this three-way trial. If she really wanted to be a puppet, then she could do it step by step. If she was a person with ideas, then she would definitely take action. Moreover, she would definitely hide it from Yun Lin's eyes and ears and do it herself.
Although he was standing on Yun Lin's side on the surface, his main goal was still to get to the land of the fire source. As long as he could get there, the three Body Integration cultivators wouldn't be able to control him.
Apart from this, the place Yi Tian wanted to go the most was the 'Heavenly Path'. However, he wasn't in a hurry since he had just arrived at the imperial capital. He hadn't fully understood the situation there yet, so he would have to spend a bit more effort when the time came.
What he was most interested in right now was going to take a look at the three underground markets in the imperial capital. On one hand, he could understand the current market price of heaven-tier treasures. On the other hand, he could also see how the outsiders would react to the Asura imperial clan. With that thought, he hurriedly blended into the crowd and soon disappeared from the streets.
According to the map Mei Baiji had given him, Yi Tian decided to go to the eastern region of the city, where the outsiders were gathered. The shops here were backed by large sects from the other realms or branches of large clans in the Demon Realm.
Speaking of which, it was quite interesting. On the surface, Asura World strictly forbade large forces from other worlds from setting up branches across the world. However, the shops here had all changed their appearances and formed allied chambers of commerce, secretly building up their forces in the eastern district.
However, they had also grasped the situation perfectly. While actively befriending the nobles of the Asura Dynasty, they had also sought their protection. In this way, the imperial guards in charge of guarding the Asura Dynasty would more or less give them a certain amount of convenience and accommodation.
After walking through several streets, Yi Tian came to the Victory Street in the Eastern District of the city. This was the first area marked on the map with an underground black market. Walking on the street, one could see many shops opened by cultivators from the Spirit Realm. Their names were quite good, but they had slightly changed the names of their sects, such as the Shangqing Merchant Union, Feiyu House, and Scorching Sun Enterprise.
After walking around, Yi Tian quietly scanned with his Divine Sense and found that there were Severed Soul Stage cultivators in these shops. Although their cultivation was not as high as his, most of the cultivators who were sent to Asura Realm were outstanding talents of their sects.
When he passed by the Shang Qing Business Union, Yi Tian resisted the urge to go in. It was still inconvenient for his identity to be exposed. If he met someone he was familiar with and gave himself away, it was not the result he wanted.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to go to the small shops and ask around. In the next two hours, Yi Tian passed by a few shops and inquired about the situation in each of them.
As Mei Baiji said, there was a black market here, but one needed to be recommended by the large shops to enter. With this in mind, Yi Tian felt that things were a bit troublesome. However, after walking around a few times, he found a small shop and went in.
Two hours later, Yi Tian walked out of the store with a token in his hand. However, he had paid a huge price for this token. He had used an Earth-Grade Spirit Tool and 10,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones to exchange for it.
After a while, he followed the directions on the map and walked straight along Victory Street until he turned right at the end and entered an inconspicuous alley. At the end of the alley was an ordinary house. There were two Deity Transformation cultivators and a Yuanying Stage junior sitting at the door.
Yi Tian stepped forward and didn't say anything. He took out the jade token in his hand and waved it in front of the three. After ten breaths of time, the two Deity Transformation cultivators withdrew their spiritual sense and sat there without moving. As for the Yuanying Stage cultivator, he walked forward and said, "Senior, please follow me."
After entering the house, he found that there was a long underground passage. From the direction it was going, it should lead to the southern part of the eastern district.
After walking for a short while, Yi Tian's eyes lit up and he found that he had entered a large underground meeting place.
The empty space in front of him was at least a mile in radius, and the space was about a hundred feet high. The Yuanying Stage cultivator introduced, "This black market is the most regulated in the capital. The surrounding area is filled with shops, and the inner area is filled with restaurants. Seniors can enjoy cross-realm delicacies here, and the realm in the middle is the arena for the competition. If Senior wants to earn some spirit stones, you can try there. As for the surrounding shops, they will provide goods for exchange. "
Yi Tian took out 100 spirit stones as a tip and sent the cultivator away. After that, he slowly strolled around by himself. Although he was just strolling around aimlessly, Yi Tian still paid attention to the shops that had Severed Soul Stage cultivators guarding them to inquire about information.
However, there was very little valuable information along the way. Although many places had heaven grade treasures that could be exchanged, the price was ridiculously high. Normally, the price would be three times higher than outside. As a Deity Transformation cultivator, if he took out so many spirit stones or spirit tools, he would inevitably be targeted.
He understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth very well. Moreover, the black market was not protected by the Asura Imperial Capital's guards, so fighting here was a common occurrence. Since he didn't want to expose his identity, Yi Tian chose to avoid it.
After walking through a few streets, he asked around and found that the price of a 3,000-year-old Iron Tree Spirit was already 10 million high grade spirit stones. Moreover, one had to exchange spirit tools or pills for spirit stones, so it had become a second-tier currency.
After walking for a while, a carriage suddenly appeared in front of him. The road here was not wide to begin with, so it became even more crowded.
Many cultivators dodged to the side to avoid the carriage. Yi Tian looked at the symbol on the carriage and thought, "Isn't this the symbol of the Asura Imperial Family? I heard that the imperial family cares a lot about their reputation. Why would they be in the black market?"
After the carriage passed by, the street returned to normal. Yi Tian secretly quickened his pace to catch up with the carriage, wanting to see who exactly was the owner of the carriage.
