The White Horse Gang's recent days had not been easy. Ever since Wang Gui's Four Seas Gambling House lost more than a million taels of silver banknotes on the day of the birthday banquet, the White Horse Gang's financial resources began to be strained. Their tributes had also been raised by thirty percent.
Fortunately, the business of the Four Seas Gambling House was still flourishing, greatly alleviating the financial burden of the White Horse Gang.
Under Yi Tian's suggestion, Ren Kui came up with the strategy of using chips and paying for the losses.
At the entrance of the Four Seas Casino, every gambler could use their money to exchange for chips. If they lost, they would return 30% of their winnings.
When they left, they would exchange it for money. Through this method, the business of the Four Seas Casino doubled.
The business of the escort agency had not been good recently. The head escort, Ren Binghai, had no interest in the matters of the agency. He was wholeheartedly searching for panaceas and miraculous medicines, hoping to cure his son Ren Liang's injury.
The entire business of the escort agency was in a state of stagnation. Sect Master Wang Gui had just promoted his son, Wang Bao, to take over the agency's affairs.
Wang Bao was no less scheming than his father. He had followed Ren Binghai as an escort for many years and was familiar with the affairs of the escort agency.
In a short period of time, everything was in order. The business that had been suspended was reopened, and the escort agency gradually had a surplus in terms of income and expenditure.
Yi Tian saw this and knew that Wang Gui and his son were not as simple as they seemed. Wang Bao was most likely behind Ren Liang's death.
Previously, he had a good impression of Ren Liang. One reason was because of his relationship with Ren Kui. In the White Horse Gang, he was considered to be on the same side as the Second Gang Leader.
Secondly, in the past, when he challenged Liang, he had also protected him. Logically speaking, they were quite close.
Wang Bao was three years older than Ren Liang, but their strength was about the same. It was estimated that Ren Liang would surpass Wang Bao in a few more years.
Both of them were the Young Gang Leaders. In the future, if nothing unexpected happened, Ren Liang would take over the position of the White Horse Gang's Gang Leader.
However, the Wang father and son had long regarded the White Horse Gang as their family's heirloom. Even if they failed this time, the next time they would scheme against Ren Liang.
The Green Bamboo School did not lose much this time, only ten thousand taels of silver and the Tong Chi brothers. Xu Kaishan also offered a high price for anyone who could provide clues about the Tong Chi brothers to the Green Bamboo Sect.
In a short period of time, the Green Bamboo Sect was trampled to the ground, but none of the information was useful. In the end, the matter was left unsettled.
Since Xu Kaishan was in closed-door training to break through to the Xiantian realm, he had entrusted all matters of the sect to Li Shida.
Xu Laoer, who was originally entrusted with an important task, suddenly had diarrhea before the night battle, so he was pushed to the bottom. Now, he only cared about the seventy percent of the shops in Bei City.
The White Horse Gang also had a tacit understanding not to find trouble with Xu Laoer in Bei City. Instead, they focused their energy on Li Shida's Xi City.
Yi Tian wasn't the least bit interested in the scheming and scheming of the gangs. Right now, the most important thing was to cultivate.
Every day, Yi Tian was disturbed by the matters of the casino, so he couldn't calm down and cultivate. Later, he heard that the White Horse Gang had over a hundred mu of medicinal fields outside the county town that needed someone to take care of them.
Ever since they had a falling out with the Green Bamboo Sect, the two sects had not given in to each other in terms of business.
The White Horse Gang's Medicine Shop in the West City had also started to sell other medicinal herbs. These few hundred mu of medicinal fields were the source of the supply.
The Green Bamboo Sect had sent people to cause trouble a few times, but they were all taken care of by the White Horse Gang.
Those who were above Xiantian Realm Level Seven in the city were closely watched. Once they left the city, the White Horse Gang would immediately send people to follow them.
Yi Tian asked Wang Gui for a task to take care of the medicinal fields. Firstly, he could avoid the vendetta of the gang and possibly Wang Bao's schemes. Secondly, he needed a quiet place to cultivate.
Seeing that Yi Tian had made a great contribution at the birthday banquet, Wang Gui also agreed. Moreover, the Four Seas Casino had Ren Kui to take care of it, so there was no need for Yi Tian to take the time to take care of it.
Ren Kui had no children, so he was teaching on behalf of his brother. It could be said that he was doing his best. He asked Wang Gui for the last three forms of the Five Tiger Sect Breaking Blade Technique and gave it to Yi Tian.
He also instructed him to cultivate in the medicinal fields and to come find him at the Four Seas Casino if he had any problems.
When he received the sword manual, Yi Tian was very touched. In the entire White Horse Gang, Ren Kui was the only one who cared about him.
Although this sword manual didn't have much use for him, it was better than nothing. He could also adjust it when he was free while cultivating immortal techniques.
After bidding farewell to Ren Kui and the others, Yi Tian rode his horse and brought more than ten followers to take care of the medicinal fields outside the city.
The job of looking after the medicinal fields was originally dull and boring. In addition, Yi Tian was infatuated with cultivation. After he arrived, he didn't care about anything and left everything to the servants. It was rare that he would show up to solve a problem.
Yi Tian stayed at the medicinal fields for three years. Apart from eating and sleeping, he would meditate and cultivate.
Days passed by one after another. On the second year, the spirit energy that was originally gathered in his dantian began to change. It slowly turned from white to green. Yi Tian knew that this was due to his Yi Wood Spirit Art breaking through to the second level.
The color of wood changed to green, and the spiritual energy in his dantian slowly changed as his cultivation increased.
After reaching the second level of Qi Disciple, Yi Tian began to try to cultivate the Imperial Spirit Barrier. Defensive techniques took precedence over offensive techniques. This was Yi Tian's idea. He wanted to ensure his own safety first.
After trying out the effects of the Imperial Spirit Barrier, Yi Tian was very satisfied. Although it wasn't like Tong Chi who could open such a large Imperial Spirit Barrier, it was more than enough to protect himself.
Yi Tian couldn't help but think that if Tong Chi was in a hurry to protect everyone, opening such a large Imperial Spirit Barrier and draining his spiritual energy, it would really be difficult to deal with.
This Imperial Spirit Barrier required thirty percent more spiritual energy for every inch it grew. Now that his cultivation was at the second level of Qi Disciple, he could only maintain the Imperial Spirit Barrier. If the defensive space was doubled, he estimated that he could only maintain it for a stick of incense's time.
Yi Tian also privately found a place to try to enlarge the Imperial Spirit Barrier to Tong Chi's size. After three breaths of time, he was exhausted and panting like an ox.
The spiritual energy in his energy center also weakened by thirty percent. He was so scared that he didn't dare to try again.
Wooden Shield Stake was the only offensive spell he could use now, but it consumed more spiritual energy than the Imperial Spirit Barrier.
Moreover, it required a Wood Guide, which was a tree seed. Yi Tian needed to inject spiritual energy into the tree seed, then cast a spell to turn the tree seed into a wooden pillar and shoot it out.
Because it consumed too much spiritual energy, Yi Tian could only use it three times in his peak state. If he used the Imperial Spirit Barrier on himself, he could only use it two times.
Therefore, Yi Tian kept it as a trump card. Now, he always had some tree seeds on him as materials.
Gradually, Yi Tian also grew taller. Coupled with his immortal cultivation, his muscles and bones were tempered.
At fifteen years old, Yi Tian looked no different from an adult, except for his young face. Thinking back to the various events that had happened in the past, Yi Tian also became more mature.
He had killed people, destroyed the corpses, and escaped calamity time and time again. After experiencing so many hardships, his mentality was now more mature than ordinary people, or it could be said that he was more shrewd.
When he was free, he didn't forget to practice the Vanishing Shadow Steps, Ferocious Tiger Fists, and Five Tiger Gate Breaking Blade.
Although they were mortal martial arts, it wasn't a burden to have more skills. Moreover, these martial arts could also be used to fend off criticism.
In these three years, Yi Tian's skills seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds. He had already reached Houtian Realm Level Seven, and this was the result of practicing in his spare time.
However, Yi Tian knew that it was because he cultivated the Yi Wood Spirit Technique that allowed him to quickly master mortal martial arts.
As his skills increased, his confidence would also change. Yi Tian really wanted to have a chance to exchange a few blows with Wang Gui or Xu Kaishan.
Now, only they could be his whetstone. If he didn't use spells, he definitely wouldn't be able to defeat them. If he used spells, it would be hard to say.
Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he would still have seen pigs run. Even if he hadn't been a doctor, he would still be in charge of medicinal herbs.
When Yi Tian was looking after the herb field, he would also ask the farmer when he had time. After a long time, he understood the herbs planted in the field. He had dabbled in planting herbs, cultivating soil, growing seedlings, ripening, harvesting, air-drying, and preserving.
Every time the herbs were transported, he could also watch from the side. After a few years, Yi Tian also tried to plant fleece flowers. To his surprise, he found that the few he planted were actually more effective than others. He took advantage of the night to sneak into the field, dug out all the herbs that he had marked, and brought them back to his room to cook.
When he was sixteen years old, because he cultivated the Yi Wood Spirit Technique, his body was nourished by the Wood Spirit Technique. Yi Tian's height had also reached more than seven feet.
Although he was exposed to the sun and wind in the herb field every day, his skin wasn't dark. His face was rosy and had a hint of green.
The single blade that he originally used was no longer suitable for him. He had no choice but to ask Ren Kui to help him make another one according to his height. The style was still the same as the Divination Blade, so that it wouldn't cause trouble if others saw it.
Following the daily cultivation of the Yi Wood Spirit Technique, Yi Tian gradually felt the Spirit Qi in his dantian increase day by day.
Now, the Spirit Qi was already green. Although the color wasn't deep, the white Spirit Qi could no longer be seen.
Yi Tian faintly felt that his cultivation had already reached the peak of the second level of Qi Refining. Now, he only needed an opportunity to break through to the third level. After using the Wood Shield Stake three times, he didn't feel that his Spirit Qi had been emptied. He should have enough to use it again.
In the past three years, Yi Tian would only return to the White Horse Gang at the end of the year to report. Normally, he would stay in the herb field outside the southern part of the city. It wasn't that he wanted to participate in the struggle between the gangs, but that he disdained it.
In Yi Tian's eyes, he should stay away from these mortal struggles. Now, he had a higher goal.
Therefore, he deliberately alienated the other people in the gang, except for Ren Kui and the little fatty Wang Bao.
He wasn't very familiar with the others. Usually, he would ask Wang Bao to take care of his uncle's grain store.
As for Wang Bao, Yi Tian was quite fond of him. He was much better than his brother Wang Bao. He was a straightforward person. No wonder Wang Gui didn't like him.
Wang Bao was quite loyal. He was a little friend who practiced martial arts with him since childhood. Moreover, his gambling skills were good. If there was a request, he would not refuse.
The key point was that after seeing Yi Tian help the Four Seas Gambling House twice, he was determined to practice his gambling skills. He pestered Ren Kui to teach him the complete set of the Cotton Hands.
Now, in the gambling house, apart from Ren Kui, the little fatty Wang Bao's gambling skills were the strongest.
Yi Tian was sitting in his room circulating his martial arts when he heard the neighing of a horse at the gate. He was puzzled. This wasn't the harvest season, so why would someone come?
Right now, they were still in the dormant stage. Everything had to be given some face. Yi Tian got up and walked out of the door.
He saw that the White Horse Gang had sent a message. The gang leader requested that all the gang members return to the Four Seas Gambling House within three days. After the messenger finished sending the message, he hurriedly left.
Yi Tian had no other choice. After finding the manager of the herbs, he prepared to rush back to the headquarters the next day.
