Sitting on the Wind Riding Boat, Yi Tian looked at the East Sea City that he was about to arrive at. He had some questions in his heart that he needed to investigate. Thinking about the two step sacred art manuals in the Scripture Pavilion in the East Sea City, he wondered if anyone had exchanged for them in the past few years.
The cave mansion that Ye Qingchen had given him back then was an island deep in the sea. This time, Yi Tian didn't want to miss this opportunity. If possible, he would go and explore it alone. Maybe there would be other discoveries.
Along the way, the Foundation Establishment stage disciples kept their distance from him. Only Qu Yifeng and Ye Ziyan came up to Yi Tian from time to time to chat and exchange their experiences.
Looking at the two of them, Yi Tian realized that Qu Yifeng had already advanced to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage for a while, and Ye Ziyan seemed to have just advanced in the past few years. She could be considered one of the top existences among this group of Spirit Children.
Most of the Spirit Children's potential would be completely unearthed during the Qi Condensation stage and the early stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. At the beginning, there would be an explosive growth, and this speed would gradually slow down as their cultivation increased. Usually, after reaching the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, they would not be much different from ordinary cultivators. Their cultivation would also increase in an orderly manner, unless they obtained some great opportunity.
The drawbacks of constantly taking pills in the early stages slowly began to appear. Often, in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage, one would need to constantly polish one's spiritual energy and eliminate the side effects brought about by the pills. Otherwise, even if one continued to cultivate, the speed of their cultivation would often be slower than others, and the time they would be stuck at the bottleneck of their cultivation would also be longer.
The flying boat continued to fly for more than a day. During this period of time, Yi Tian also seized the time to meditate. Looking at Qu Yifeng and Ye Ziyan who were sitting beside him, Yi Tian also praised them in his heart. These two people also began to understand the preciousness of time.
Seeing that they were about to arrive, Yi Tian also stood up to loosen his muscles and bones. The following things were going to be troublesome, he didn't even know what the sect would do for him. He looked at Ye Ziyan who was beside him. She was wearing a crimson sect uniform and a pair of white boots. There was even a layer of velvet wrapped around them. It seemed like she had redecorated the Lightning Flood Dragon Boots from back then.
Yi Tian suddenly remembered that he had asked her to take care of the spirit beast in the past. He said, "Meatball, your cultivation has improved in the past few years. Did you take good care of the 'fat dog' for me?"
Ye Ziyan chuckled, pouted and said: "I'm already over forty years old, and you're still calling me by my nickname. You haven't come to see me even after coming back for so long, have you forgotten our agreement?"
This time, it was Yi Tian's turn to be at a loss for words. He silently calculated in his heart. He was already over fifty years old. Once he entered the world of cultivation, he had forgotten many of the troubles in the world. At this age, he was already a grandfather-level figure in the mortal world. As for the agreement to go to her cave to watch the sunrise, Yi Tian only remembered now. He could only reveal an ashamed expression and muddle through.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian could only scratch his head and say embarrassedly, "I'm also used to calling you that, so I can't change it. How about I call you Ziyan in front of others, but I'll call you 'Meatball' in private. In my heart, you'll always be that little brat who loves to cry in the Crimson Flame Hills."
"That's more like it. As long as you always remember how you carried me on your back then, it's fine." After saying that, Ye Ziyan took off the spirit beast pouch tied to her waist with a smile and handed it over to Yi Tian. Then, she replied: "Take a look for yourself. This little guy's appetite is not small, especially after advancing to the fourth level, he started to be picky about his food."
In the end, Yi Tian cast a spell and directly summoned the fat dog out of the spirit beast pouch. With a whoosh, a white light flashed and a three foot long Ice Glass Fox stood on the deck.
It seemed like the 'Fat Dog' had not woken up yet. It rubbed its eyes and looked at Ye Ziyan, opening its mouth as if it wanted to ask for food. Yi Tian looked at it and his face twitched. After not seeing it for so many years, it was still the same. He went up and gave the 'Fat Dog' a knock on its head, waking it up on the spot.
After feeding the 'fat dog' a few Beast Spirit Pills, Yi Tian directly chanted an incantation to keep it back into the Beast Spirit Pouch, so as to not embarrass himself outside.
The others didn't dare to comment, but Qu Yifeng casually said, "Yi Tian, the dog you raised is really not bad. I just don't know what kind of innate skills it has."
Seeing this brat bring up the pot that didn't boil, Yi Tian was at his wit's end. Out of so many people, he was the only one who was a thorn. He remembered to find a chance to have a good chat with him about life. He replied snappily, "That's a fox, you know? It's not a dog. It has an extremely strong resistance to ice magic. It's a spirit beast that I've been raising for decades."
"You don't look like someone who knows how to raise spirit beasts. Most likely, you just eat and sleep, sleep and eat, and in the end, make a 'Little Fatty'. Why don't you give it to me? I just happen to lack a spirit beast to help me." Qu Yifeng said with a face full of disdain.
After a cold snort, Yi Tian ignored him and stood by the side of the boat to enjoy the scenery.
After a quarter of an hour, the Wind Riding Boat slowly landed on the transportation platform of the East Sea City. Yan Jungang instructed everyone, "You guys are free to move around first. Remember to report to the sect's registration office, and then purchase some supplies. Everyone's mission will be arranged very quickly, don't waste time." After saying that, he flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Yi Tian also knew that he was going to replace Qi Haosi's formation team. When the time came, he would need to go to the Artifact Hall to pick up the materials. The City Lord's Mansion would also provide him with a refiner assistant. This way, he would only need to find three more team members to move out.
After asking the two people beside him, they both had their own things to do, so Yi Tian didn't force them to stay. He only told them to pay attention to their own safety and then split up. After saying goodbye to the two, Yi Tian hurriedly went to the Scripture Pavilion in East Sea City. He wanted to inquire about the two spirit arts.
That signboard for exchanging spirit arts was still in its original place. Yi Tian stood there and looked online. He found that he couldn't find the name of the 'Divine Sense Clone' spirit art at the top level. The 'Asura Transformation' spirit art was also missing. At the top were two spirit arts that Yi Tian had never seen before. They were called the 'Ten Thousand Sword Art' and the 'Golden Sun Unbreakable Body'. Next to them were signs that they cost more than three to four thousand contribution points.
Slightly frowning, Yi Tian didn't know what had happened. In thirty years, East Sea City had replaced the two spirit arts in his hands. Thinking that there must be some inside information, Yi Tian directly went up and asked the manager. He didn't expect that the deacons also said that they didn't know. Seeing that Yi Tian was also anxious to ask, someone suggested that they directly go to the City Lord's Mansion to ask. Most of the spirit arts in East Sea City were stored there, so it was best to trace it back to the source.
After thinking about it again and again, Yi Tian also felt that this matter was strange. Indeed, only the Jin Dan cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion would know some inside information. Just as he was about to contact Yan Jungang to inquire about the information, Yi Tian found that his sect jade token suddenly received a message. After scanning it with his Divine Sense, Yi Tian was also in awe.
The person who sent him a message was actually Sect Master Yang Yanzi. Now he had no choice but to go. He could find an opportunity to find someone to ask the questions in his heart.
Since it was a summon from the Sect Master, Yi Tian didn't dare to neglect. He turned around and walked directly to the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, the City Lord's Mansion was in a state of martial law. There were guards everywhere. These patrolling people all had a murderous look on their faces. Obviously, they had been on the front line for a long time and had more or less a murderous aura.
Before Yi Tian walked within ten feet of the City Lord's Mansion, a patrolling disciple came up and asked, "Who are you, please show your identity jade token and send a message."
After looking at it, Yi Tian could only shake his head and take out his identity jade token for the patrolling disciple to confirm. During this period of time, Yi Tian felt at least two Golden Core Stage cultivators' Spiritual Sense sweep over his body. It seems like the defense of this place was watertight, even Golden Core Stage cultivators had to come out to check.
After a while, Yi Tian took back his identity jade token and walked into the side hall of the City Lord's Mansion under the guidance of the patrolling disciple, waiting for the Jin Dan cultivator to summon him. When he first arrived, Yi Tian didn't know the details, but since the Sect Master had personally asked, it must not be a trivial matter. In this regard, Yi Tian was prepared.
After waiting for a while, Yi Tian saw Sect Master Yangyan Zi, Xuan Jianxin, and Nangong Aotian come in. Yi Tian realized that NanGong AoTian was actually acting like it was the first time he saw him, acting like a complete stranger. He could only stand up and say, "Junior greets the three sect masters." Then he waited for the three's reply.
After the three sat down, Yi Tian dared to sit opposite them. He didn't dare to look at them and waited for instructions with a well-behaved appearance.
After a long time, Yang Yan Zi said to the other two, "Fellow Daoist, please see if this child can be of great use. This is also the person that my foster son, Yan Jungang, strongly recommended. He also said that Yi Tian is the most likely candidate he has seen to complete the task."
Hearing this, Yi Tian's heart immediately churned. Yan Jungang is too mean, nominating me to directly give me a difficult task. Looking at the appearance of the three people, this task is definitely not a good thing, it must be very dangerous.
Before Yi Tian could refuse, Xuan Jianxin said with a deep meaning, "Little friend Yi's strength is obvious to all. If you are chosen to complete this task, you will definitely succeed." Then Yi Tian heard a voice transmission in his ear, "Little friend Yi, please leave a copy of the things you got from the third floor of the Sword Tomb to the Iron Sword Gate. This old man will be very grateful."
It was the first time that Nangong Aotian heard Xuan Jianxin evaluate a Foundation Establishment disciple like this. He couldn't help but look at Yi Tian with his eyes wide open. He didn't say anything for a long time. In the end, he simply replied, "I have no objection. This kid has taken so many benefits, he has to do something for the human cultivators." This pun directly settled the matter.
Looking at the other party's eyes, Yi Tian was just about to refute when suddenly Nangong Aotian's voice transmission sounded in his ear, "You have already eaten a few Profound Yang Fruits, what else do you want?"
Suddenly, Yi Tian felt that Nangong Aotian was definitely not as understanding as he looked on the surface. He could probably guess what he did in the Profound Yang Cave. And Xuan Jianxin was not a fool. He was sure that there must be something good in the third floor of the Sword Tomb. No matter how Chou Renjiu and Wu Min defended him, this suspicion couldn't be washed away.
On the contrary, Sect Master Yang Yanzi was still in the dark. He was still promising Yi Tian benefits after the matter was completed. The two old monks were already sitting there like meditating old monks. They weren't afraid that he would refuse. This time, Yi Tian was a little relaxed. They must have gotten hold of something that could be used against him. In the past, he didn't even wipe his mouth clean. Now, retribution had come.
After Yang Yanzi finished speaking, Yi Tian got up and cupped his hands towards the three people in front of him, "This disciple is duty-bound to serve the human race. Three Sect Masters can rest assured that this disciple will do his best to complete the mission."
Seeing Yi Tian so tactful, Xuan Jianxin and Nangong Aotian also got up and said a few words to Yang Yanzi before leaving. After the two left, Yang Yanzi opened a soundproof barrier, then handed the jade slip to Yi Tian and instructed, "Don't go anywhere for the next few days. Just stay here and familiarize yourself with the mission information on the jade slip. When the time is right, I will inform you."
Seeing this, Yi Tian could only accept his fate. He took the jade slip, but he didn't open it directly. Instead, he asked, "Sect Master, when this disciple participated in the naval battle 30 years ago, this disciple found the 'Divine Sense Clone' and 'Asura Transformation' in the Scripture Pavilion. Why did you change them this time?"
Yang Yanzi originally thought that Yi Tian would ask about the mission reward, but after hearing this, he directly shook his head and replied, "There are problems with those two spirit arts. Ten years ago, a Xuan Ling Sect disciple cultivated the 'Divine Sense Clone' and became a fool. After discussing it, we unanimously decided to change the two spirit arts and destroy them to prevent them from harming the disciple."
Seeing Yi Tian's puzzled face, Yang Yanzi continued, "According to records, this' Divine Sense Clone 'has only been exchanged twice in history. Perhaps the disciple who exchanged it the first time didn't cultivate it too deeply, so nothing happened."
Hearing this, Yi Tian broke out in cold sweat. So, only he had cultivated these two spirit arts. In the future, he shouldn't show them to others to avoid trouble.
