Bringing Golden Fur King to the Tai Qing Pavilion's guest room, they saw the Li Fire Sect's shopkeeper, Cheng Bufan, waiting for them. Yi Tian, on the other hand, graciously walked forward and sat down in the main seat.
Cheng Bufan stood up and bowed, "My Sect Master has long heard of the Taiqing Pavilion's Senior Yi's outstanding strength. He had sent me to deliver an invitation, but I wonder if Senior Yi is free."
"Fellow Daoist Ji, why are you in such a hurry to find me? Do you have something urgent to attend to?" Yi Tian probed.
"To tell you the truth, as a junior, I naturally don't dare to ask about Sect Master's matters. It's just that I'll do as the higher-ups instruct me." Cheng Bufan's reply was reasonable and watertight, not revealing the slightest bit of Ji Xuanyuan's recent situation.
Yi Tian smiled faintly, "I think Shopkeeper's bone age is less than three thousand years. For you to be able to hold your own in the Fey world's Thousand Fey City, you should be an outstanding talent in the Li Fire Sect, right? I wonder if you are under the Sect Master or Ceng Shun? "
Although Cheng Bufan was tight-lipped, Yi Tian continued to beat around the bush, trying to probe his background. After all, the three Unity stage cultivators of the Li Fire Sect had their own disciples. Ceng Shun's disciple, Lei Kun, had died at his hands, so he had to be on guard.
Hearing this, Cheng Bufan's expression did not change, "Compared to Senior Yi, this junior is really not worth mentioning. I heard the Sect Master mention that Senior Yi is able to enter the ranks of the mid-stage Unity stage cultivators at less than three thousand years old. You are a person with amazing talent. Compared to you, this junior's cultivation is incomparable to the light of a dying candle and the light of the bright moon. "
Yi Tian's expression did not change, but he had a whole new level of respect for Ji Xuanyuan, even though he had only met him once. But the other party seemed to have been thinking about him for a long time. However, this was not surprising. Although he was in the Fey world, the things that happened here in the past hundred years were related to him.
With the strength of the Spirit world's three sects, they had spread their spies in the Fey world. It was reasonable for them to be able to find out about him. Speaking of this, Yi Tian secretly paid attention. It seems like he'll have to take it easy in the future in the Demon Realm.
On the other hand, Cheng Bufan, who was in front of him, had cultivated to the middle stage of the Spirit Severing Stage before he was three thousand years old. In terms of bone structure, he was slightly inferior to Chi Wuji, but he was still a first-class master. Perhaps only Qing Lianyun and Xiang Donghui could compare with him in the Taiqing Pavilion.
Yi Tian didn't feel any joy when he heard the Lifire Empyrean praising him. On the contrary, he was silently wondering when the Lifire Empyrean had set their eyes on him.
After thinking for a moment, Yi Tian asked, "I can see that your strength is not bad, but the purity of your cultivation method is slightly inferior to Chi Wuji's. You should be a disciple of Han Liu, right?"
"Senior Yi's eyes are like torches, being able to see through this junior's origins at a glance." Cheng Bufan replied generously. "I remember that Sect Master had previously mentioned that Senior Yi has a way of observing people. Now that I've seen it, it has indeed verified Sect Master's words."
"Oh, I wonder what Senior Fellow Apprentice Ji thinks of me?" Yi Tian asked directly.
Cheng Bufan was a smart person. He didn't reveal any flaws in his speech. Once it involved his master's origin, he would directly change the topic. It seemed that Ji Xuanyuan had carefully selected him to be the manager of the Lifire Empyrean's business in the Thousands Demon City.
Cheng Bufan smiled and replied respectfully, "This junior doesn't know. If senior has doubts in your heart, you can talk to sect master face to face."
"Okay, I already know about this matter. Go back and tell Senior Fellow Apprentice Ji that I have some trivial matters to attend to now." Yi Tian thought for a moment before instructing, "How about we meet at the Bright Fragrance Pavilion on the east side of the Calm Heart Lake three days later?"
Cheng Bufan's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly replied, "To tell you the truth, junior didn't come here to urge you. Please don't misunderstand, Senior Yi."
"Oh, then what is your purpose in coming here?" Yi Tian frowned and asked.
Cheng Bufan had a hesitant look on his face when he heard this. He glanced at the Golden Hair King who was serving on the side and seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Yi Tian said with a displeased look, "The Golden Hair King is my confidant. If there is anything, you can say it in front of him."
Only then did Cheng Bufan's expression soften slightly. Following that, he took out a jade scroll and handed it over, "This is a letter from sect master to you. Please take a look."
Yi Tian glanced at the jade scroll that was handed over. He saw the Li Fire Sect's seal and Ji Xuanyuan's personal seal on the seal. This seal was rather particular. It was left behind by Ji Xuanyuan using the Li Flame Scorching Fire. In the entire Li Fire Palace, only he could do such a thing.
Even the Li Fire Elders, Han Liu, who cultivated the Li Flame cultivation technique to the small success stage, might not be able to do so. Upon seeing this, Yi Tian kept the jade scroll and said, "Alright, I'll read it in detail later."
Cheng Bufan's expression turned anxious as he hurriedly said, "Senior Yi, please read the letter left behind in the jade scroll. To tell you the truth, sect master has already left the Thousand Fey City. However, he left a message for us to wait for Senior Yi to read the jade scroll before leaving. "
"Ji Xuanyuan has left." Yi Tian was surprised. It seemed like he had matters to attend to and did not meet him, which was why he left a letter.
Immediately, Yi Tian's thoughts connected to the Netherworld clan's Yan Qiu. That fellow was waiting for an opportunity to find trouble with Ji Xuanyuan. It seemed like the return journey would not be a peaceful one.
Yi Tian was also very curious about the message Ji Xuanyuan left for him. Just as he was about to open the seal on the jade scroll, he suddenly felt a numbing sensation coming from his fingertips. Yi Tian focused his eyes and saw that it was the remnant Li Flame spiritual energy on the Li Fire Palace's seal. It seemed to be resisting his spiritual energy.
However, they were both from the same sect. Furthermore, he had cultivated such a move before, so he naturally knew the method to crack it. However, he could not bring himself to ruin his reputation in front of Cheng Bufan. After thinking about it, he secretly circulated his Li Fire Nine Transformations Technique and used the Li Fire Palace's Li Flame Seal. When his finger touched the Li Fire Palace's seal, a trace of spiritual energy entered it and opened it.
He carefully read the jade scroll. The content was very simple. Ji Xuanyuan wanted him to help take care of the Li Fire Palace's businesses in the Myriad Demon City. Right now, the Li Fire Palace was unable to send out a Unity Body cultivator. Hence, they could only rely on the strength of the other two sects in the Spirit World.
Logically speaking, there was no need to make such a big deal out of such a simple matter. Yi Tian was a little confused. He didn't know what Ji Xuanyuan was thinking.
On the contrary, Cheng Bufan who was standing at the side became abnormally respectful at this moment. He cupped his hands and bowed in the manner of a junior and said, "Since Martial Uncle Yi has seen the information in the jade slip, then please take care of Martial Nephew in the future."
Even the way he addressed Yi Tian had changed. Yi Tian was stunned. He thought to himself, "Not good, I fell for it. Ji Xuanyuan is truly an old fox. He actually used the Li Fire Palace's seal to test me."
