The Sea Race's invasion that had lasted for more than ten years was once again resolved by the three sects. In this battle, both sides suffered losses, and the casualty rate was roughly one to two. Chiyang School also lost a portion of its disciples in this battle. Most of them were in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.
Truth be told, the two sides did not really intend to fight to the death. Thus, there were basically no casualties among the high-level cultivators. On the other hand, Gao Qingshan of the Gao Family was ambushed by the other side during a defensive battle and suffered some injuries. Since then, Gao Qingshan hid in the City Lord's Mansion to recuperate and didn't care about the battle anymore.
Ever since the Sea Race retreated, the cultivators of the three sects began to prepare to return home. This time, Yi Tian also made a big profit. He asked Huang Ziang and Wu Xing to act as support and directly went to the Foundation Establishment auctions to buy goods. The three of them also directly rented the pill refining room in the Pill Hall. Inside, they dissected the corpses of the sea beasts and refined dozens of grade four spirit tools. As for grade three mystic tools, Yi Tian could basically refine a dozen of them every day.
In a short time, all the grade four spirit tools in the major auctions were exploding, and the price of the items dropped. Moreover, Huang Ziang only accepted spirit stones or bartered items. As for the grade three mystic tools, they were gradually spread among the low level cultivators through the Qi Refining cultivators' channel. The quality was good, and the price was moderate. Under the fierce impact, the low-level market recovered a large amount of spirit stones.
When the items in their hands were almost sold, Yi Tian and Wu Xing went to the various Foundation Establishment auctions and bought some ores, rare materials, and spirit herbs.
After a round, the three of them had filled their pockets to the brim. This time, the closing transaction in Eastsea City had completely become a stage for the three of them. For a time, even those Qi Refining stage nine cultivators were lucky enough to be equipped with a grade four spirit tool. In a win-win situation, no one talked about it.
If there were people who were happy, there would definitely be people who were sad. The group of refiners led by Pei Ming originally wanted to take advantage of the end of the war to make a big profit, but after that, they found that not many of the spirit weapons in their hands were sold, and the market was filled with a batch of high-quality goods at a low price, causing Pei Ming's group to suffer a loss.
Pei Ming had no choice but to think of ways to put these spirit weapons in the sect's warehouse. At least, he wanted to recoup his capital. It just so happened that Yi Tian had just returned from a thorough inspection of the Artifact Hall. All Spirit Artifacts needed to go through three strict inspections before they could be stored in the warehouse. This way, Pei Ming's supply channels were blocked.
In the end, Huang Ziang, who was the temporary warehouse manager of the Artifact Hall, came forward and collected all the Spirit Artifacts at a price 30% lower than the market price. In fact, it was also to collect a batch of raw materials for Yi Tian. Many of the spirit tool materials were good, but the refining technique was rough. These materials were melted and refined again, and then engraved with high-level inscriptions, so they could be sold at double the price.
When they returned to the sect, Chiyang School only used one Wind Riding Boat to carry the sect's disciples. It was no wonder that most of the people who died this time were low-level disciples, so the number of people had decreased by a third. Originally, they needed two Wind Riding Boats, but now, one was enough. It was just that there were a lot of people, so it was a little crowded.
Yi Tian brought Huang Ziang and Wu Xing to stand on the left side of the ship, and not many people dared to surround them. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that two of the three Inner Sect Disciples were True Disciples. As long as those Outer Sect Disciples were not mentally challenged, they would not dare to come and cause trouble. One by one, they would stay far away.
Opposite Yi Tian was Pei Ming and Wan Rui's group. There were about four or five inner sect Foundation Establishment cultivators sitting in a circle. On the entire deck, there were a few disciples who formed small groups.
Yi Tian looked and saw that Qu Yifeng, Ye Ziyan and the others were standing together, while Xu Hao seemed to be excluded by the Spirit Children. The other half was surrounded by Ning Ning and a few Alchemy Hall disciples.
Inside the cabin were the Jin Dan cultivators from Chiyang School. Other than the Head Disciple, there were also Ye Qingchen, Gao Qingshan, and Yan Jungang. Yang Yanzi drove the flying boat at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. Calculating the time, they would arrive at the sect in about a day and a half.
Regardless of what the others were doing, Yi Tian only sent a sound transmission to Wu Xing and Huang Ziang, telling them to calculate their recent gains. The two of them each held a ledger in their hands and recorded the data with a wisp of spiritual energy between their fingers. In just a short quarter of an hour, the results of this transaction were tabulated.
After receiving the two jade slips, Yi Tian only roughly scanned them with his divine sense. Then he took out two storage pouches and gave them to the two. After receiving the items, the two of them looked at them and saw Wu Xing and Huang Ziang's faces filled with joy. Then they also smiled and stood behind Yi Tian.
This time, excluding the cost of purchasing materials, Yi Tian and the other two had basically bought all the fourth tier and above materials in the market. After breaking even, they still had an extra eighty thousand spirit stones. Then the three of them split the materials and spirit stones equally. This time, they were really full.
As the flying boat entered the Scarlet Flame Hills, everyone's mood gradually improved. Seeing that they were about to reach home, Yi Tian calculated that after returning to the sect, he would find an excuse to go into seclusion for a while. He needed to thoroughly comprehend the third layer of the Asura Transformation. There was also the Golden Sun Unbreakable Body that he urgently needed to cultivate. Yi Tian had roughly looked through this ability. Although it was an incomplete Buddhist Sect Body Transformation Technique, it still had the ability to resist heavenly tribulation. After reaching the small success stage, he would be able to resist one Jin Dan lightning tribulation.
After calculating his current cultivation method, Yi Tian still wasn't confident that he would be able to pass the Jin Dan tribulation. He was mainly afraid that the seal in his dantian would come out and cause trouble during the tribulation. The Jin Dan tribulation had four bolts of lightning. If the seal triggered a fifth bolt of lightning, Yi Tian really didn't know if his Spiral Flame Shield and True Flame Armor would be able to withstand it.
Just as he was thinking, a disciple behind him suddenly cheered, "We're finally back." Turning around, he saw the cultivators who had been away for more than ten years cheering. Huang Ziang and Wu Xing also had happy expressions on their faces. The feeling of being home really made them excited. Even Yan Jungang, who was sitting in the cabin, walked up to the deck and greeted everyone.
After seeing Yi Tian from afar, Yan Jungang slowly walked over and even nodded in greeting. Yi Tian also nodded in response. After a while, he heard a voice transmission in his ear, "You little brat, you've gone a bit overboard. You've taken all the good things in the market. What about the little brothers behind me?"
Then, Yi Tian saw Yan Jungang looking at him with a playful expression. Yi Tian knew that he would have to pay a big price this time. He could only smile and take off a storage pouch. After counting the number, he gave all the remaining Level Four Spirit Tools to Yan Jungang.
After receiving the items, the latter smiled and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he took the items and walked towards the Spirit Children. After ten breaths, Qu Yifeng took the lead and began to shout, saying that he was the Eldest Senior Brother, so he should be the first to choose. The group of followers behind him also started to shout and shout. When it came to dividing the loot, the Eldest Senior Brother did not say anything.
After the entire Wind Riding Boat entered the sect, no one came out to greet them. Yi Tian was puzzled. Suddenly, the sect's formation was activated. The boat shook violently. Everyone on the boat stabilized themselves with great difficulty. Some of them directly flew into the air to see what was going on. In the end, they were forcefully suppressed by the pressure of the formation.
The Wind Riding Boat had no choice but to quickly descend under the formation. It directly stopped at the square of Chiyang School's main hall. Seeing that something was wrong, Yi Tian directly called for a few people to jump off the boat.
Sect Master Yangyan Zi also walked out of the cabin with a face full of anger. He led Ye Qingchen and Gao Qingshan off the flying boat. After ten breaths, everyone left the boat and stepped onto the square of the sect. Everyone was confused and did not know what was going on.
Yangyan Zi was about to lead people into the main hall when he suddenly saw the four doors of the main hall open. Vice Sect Master Yangyan Zi walked out with a group of sect cultivators and looked down at everyone on the square.
At this time, even a fool could see that something was wrong. Something was definitely going to happen. Yangyan Zi said, "Junior Brother, what is the meaning of opening the sect's formation for no reason? Is this the etiquette of Chiyang School to welcome cultivators who have returned from the front lines?"
"Junior Brother, I'm just fulfilling my duties as the Sect Master of Chiyang School. I forgot to tell Senior Brother that I'm the current Sect Master of Chiyang School. Senior Brother, please return the Sect Master's Token."
After Yangyan Zi said this, the entire square was in an uproar. How could the change of Sect Master be so sudden? Wasn't it supposed to be the approval of the sect's Yuanying cultivators, then the other two sects would be notified and the succession ceremony would be held? How could it be so childish?
This time, even Ye Qingchen, Gao Yuanshan, and Yan Jungang were a bit confused. However, Yangyan Zi didn't look like he was faking it, so they all guessed that he really had Master Scarlet Sun's token.
Yangyan Zi sneered and said, "Junior Brother, you can have the Sect Master's token. You just need to take out Master Scarlet Sun's token." Yangyan Zi also felt strange. His master didn't tell him about this. If it was true, then it would be fine, but if it was false, then it would be a big problem.
Yangyan Zi didn't hesitate. He directly took out the sect's jade slip and showed it to everyone. In an instant, more than a dozen divine senses scanned the jade slip. Even Yi Tian quietly extended his divine sense to take a closer look. The jade slip clearly said, "Ancestor Scarlet Sun's personal decree. Li Yanzi will be the fourth generation Sect Master of Chiyang School. The original Sect Master, Yangyan Zi, will abdicate and become a sect elder." At the end, it was the true fire seal of Ancestor Scarlet Sun.
This time, the surrounding cultivators deliberately kept a distance from the Sect Master. This was clearly an order from Ancestor Yuanying, so they couldn't disobey it.
After Yangyan Zi read it a few times with his divine sense, he said, "This is no small matter. I need to see Master and hear him personally. I can't abdicate the Sect Master's position just because of your words."
Yangyan Zi sneered and said, "Senior Brother, you have been in this position for too long. It's time to wake up. What have you done to Chiyang School? It's a mess. It's better for Junior Brother to go back to the source and correct things. "
Seeing that the two were at a stalemate, the other disciples of Jin Dan also spoke up. Ye Qingchen and the others agreed with Yangyan Zi's suggestion to see the Ancestor first. But Yangyan Zi's faction said that since they had the Ancestor's personal decree, they should follow it. They even said that Yangyan Zi should abdicate as soon as possible.
