Xuan Ling Sect had hundreds of vassal families, but there were less than five families with Jin Dan cultivators. Ever since the sudden death of the Zou family's patriarch, Zou Dong, a few years ago, there were only four families left. The loose cultivators of these aristocratic families were also forming alliances, roping in some of the loose cultivators to strengthen their own forces.
Today, there was a group of people gathered in the main hall of the rogue cultivator Le Family. The visitors were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, and there were at least ten of them. The Le Family's patriarch, Le Congdie, sat on the main seat, greeting the guests.
This time, it looked like a regular gathering of Foundation Establishment cultivators among the aristocratic families. However, as long as one paid attention, they would be able to tell that those who were invited were all Formation Masters or Weapon Refiners who had some reputation in Dong Ao. As long as one was observant, they would be able to guess that this invitation was definitely not simple. At the very least, it was not as simple as it appeared to be on the surface.
Sitting in a corner was a cultivator dressed in sackcloth. He looked like a wandering hero, but if one looked closely, one would be able to see that he was looking at the rogue cultivators disdainfully as they displayed their understanding of formations in front of Le Congdie. Some of them even took out high level spirit tools to show off their weapon refinement skills.
Originally, most of the people who came here had impure motives. They saw that the Le Family was led by a group of female cultivators and wanted to take this opportunity to find a dao companion.
Looking at the two people taking turns to embarrass themselves on the stage, Yi Tian couldn't muster up his spirits. He had been sitting here for four hours and drank two pots of tea, but he didn't see anyone he could chat with. This time, it was a recommendation letter from Qi Haosi. Originally, he was invited, but the Weapon Hall was busy, and in the end, Yi Tian could only attend on his behalf.
Yi Tian who always liked to cultivate was also not interested in this matter. However, when he heard the invitation from Xuan Ling Sect's vassal Le Family, Yi Tian could not sit still. He was very clear about the background of this Le Family. Ming King Path's' Heavenly Goddess of Bliss' Le Tongxuan was the mastermind behind this.
Yi Tian had come into contact with Le Tongxuan a few times before. She was a person who wouldn't act unless she saw a rabbit. Why would she be so kind as to spend so many spirit stones to invite people to a gathering?
When he first entered, Yi Tian had asked around and found out that the host of today's party was the head of the Yue Family, Yue Congdie. She was a hundred years old middle Foundation Establishment cultivator, and could be considered a somewhat famous woman in this area. However, in Yi Tian's eyes, Le Congdie, who looked to be in her twenties, was probably just Le Tongxuan's personal maid. She had only reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment when she was a hundred years old. If she had spent all that time with him, she would have formed her Gold Core long ago.
Sitting beside Yi Tian was a young scholar who introduced himself as Zhou Qing. He looked to be in his mid-twenties and was dressed like a scholar. During the exchange, Zhou Qing intentionally or unintentionally tried to get closer to Yi Tian. He also constantly judged the people present and casually asked Yi Tian, "Fellow Daoist, are you here to find a Dao Companion? I know a little about this Le Family. If Fellow Daoist is lucky enough to work with me, as long as you answer Le Congdie's question, it won't be difficult for you to progress further tonight. "
Yi Tian was a bit stunned. This Le Family was holding some sort of selection. They seemed to be having fun after seeing Le Tongxuan. Since this was the case, Yi Tian didn't object to playing along. He said to Zhou Qing, "Fellow Daoist, I'll have to trouble you. When the time comes, let's answer the question together." After he finished speaking, he just smiled and didn't say anything else.
When no one else came forward to offer treasures, Le Congdie leisurely stood up and said, "This time, I have invited all of you here for two reasons. First, to exchange your thoughts on Foundation Establishment, and second, to exchange the Dao of formations. I have a formation diagram in my hand, and I sincerely hope that everyone can give me your comments. Everyone can speak freely. As long as you can analyze this formation diagram, this lowly concubine can make an exception and chat with you through the night."
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall began to liven up. Especially those formation masters, they couldn't keep their smiles on their faces. Yi Tian saw this and laughed in his heart. It seemed that Le Tongxuan had encountered a troublesome matter. Otherwise, she wouldn't have revealed this information.
This Le Congdie was clearly just a white glove. Thinking about this, Yi Tian had a helpless expression. He thought that coming here today was a waste of time. Just as he was thinking about something, he was suddenly interrupted by the exclamations of the people around him.
At this moment, Zhou Qing, who was sitting next to Yi Tian, was not his usual self. He was sitting there thinking bitterly. The people who were active before had all given up. They looked at the formation diagram that Le Congdie had taken out and didn't say a word.
Then Zhou Qing began to take out a jade slip to study the formation diagram. However, Yue Congdie softly said, "Please don't leak this matter." After she finished speaking, she looked at Yi Tian with a profound gaze.
Zhou Qing could only resentfully return the greeting and put away the jade slip. After a bitter moment, he turned around and saw Yi Tian calmly drinking tea. He came up and said, "Fellow Daoist, have you studied formations before? How about we work together and try to break the formation using the formation diagram? "
After rolling his eyes, Yi Tian shook his shoulders and used his divine sense to scan the formation diagram in Yue Congdie's hand. Then he said with disdain, "I'm not interested. If you have a secret, maybe I'll remember something." After he finished speaking, he turned around and continued to drink tea. At this moment, Yi Tian was shocked. Le Tongxuan was an experienced person. After hiding in Dong Ao for so long, she finally found some clues.
When Yi Tian used his divine sense to scan the formation diagram, he found that it was more like a seal than a formation diagram. Moreover, it was the seal on the stone door in the Thousand Needles Forest. Yi Tian was very familiar with this. In addition to the seal in the middle, there was another seal on the top that he had sealed himself. What was laughable was that these so-called formation masters were still racking their brains. Even if they saw the real thing, they wouldn't be able to break it. Not to mention, Yi Tian didn't think that any of the cultivators here would risk going to the Thousand Needles Forest.
After a quarter of an hour, only a few cultivators came up to talk to Yue Congdie and all of them returned empty-handed. Yue Congdie's expression became more and more serious. It was as if the answers given by these people couldn't satisfy her and were even a bit off.
Zhou Qing, who was sitting next to Yi Tian, also went up to show it, but after three sentences, he saw Yue Congdie shake her head. Then he could only return to his seat and drink tea. Zhou Qing glanced at Yi Tian, who was beside him, and a plan came to his mind. He immediately transmitted his voice over.
Originally, Yi Tian had nothing to do and was about to leave after finishing his business. Just as he was daydreaming, he suddenly heard a voice transmission from the side asking, "Fellow Daoist, if you have a way to break this formation, I am willing to exchange a spiritual treasure for it." He looked up and saw that it was Zhou Qing's voice transmission. It seemed that the other party was really fascinated by Yue Congdie and was desperate.
Yi Tian just replied, "I have a way to let you be her guest, but I have to check the goods first." Zhou Qing looked at Yi Tian with a little surprise, but he didn't believe it.
After the two talked for a while, Zhou Qing took out a storage bag with a helpless expression. He gently opened it and let Yi Tian check it with his Divine Sense. This was also in accordance with Yi Tian's request to check the goods first.
With a glance, Yi Tian was shocked. There were two items in this storage pouch. One was the ancient treasure that Zhou Qing had mentioned. It was a square wooden plate with an attribute that he couldn't see through. There was a circular groove in the middle of the wooden plate. This item should be a high grade spirit tool's tray.
At this moment, Yi Tian suddenly felt that the broken pointer in his storage bracelet had a little reaction. Although it only moved slightly, Yi Tian clearly sensed that these two things should originally be one, but they still lacked some important parts.
The other item was a simple ruler, but Yi Tian didn't really like it. After thinking about it, he sent a sound transmission to Zhou Qing, "Come with me, I'll bring you to the inner hall of the Yue Family. When the time comes, I just need to choose one item from your storage bag." After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhou Qing's reaction and directly stood up from his seat and slowly walked forward.
Zhou Qing also didn't believe it. He gritted his teeth and followed after him with the idea of making a last ditch effort. The two came in front of Yue Congdie. Yi Tian just sent a voice transmission, then he stopped moving. Zhou Qing, who was standing behind, was taken aback. He cursed Yi Tian in his heart for being too arrogant. But after three breaths, Yue Congdie stood up from her seat and said, "Fellow daoist, please come to the inner hall for a chat." After that, she made an inviting gesture.
At this moment, everyone present widened their eyes, swearing to carefully size up this cultivator in front of them. Why was it that they couldn't figure it out even after racking their brains, but this person was able to invite Patriarch Le into the inner hall with just a few words? This was something that had never happened before.
Ignoring the gazes of other cultivators, Yi Tian just sent a voice transmission to Zhou Qing, "Come with me, give me the wooden plate when you go inside." Zhou Qing didn't even think about it and directly handed the storage bag to Yi Tian. Then he replied, "Thank you, fellow daoist. Actually, I found the things inside in a cave residence. They aren't of much use. Since fellow daoist likes them, I'll give them all to you."
This time, it was Yi Tian's turn to be deflated. He felt that this shop assistant was trying to get something without risking anything, using two unclear things to fool him. Seeing that the things were still useful to him, Yi Tian couldn't get angry. He directly told Zhou Qing that he would talk with Yue Congdie alone after they went in. He could only help up to here.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, fellow daoist, for your good intentions. If you can do it, you will be my Moon Lord."
Hearing this, Yi Tian laughed in his heart and said, "If that 'Goddess of Bliss' takes a fancy to you and takes you into the Bright King Road, don't come looking for me at that time." However, on the surface, he laughed and let Zhou Qing be. After all, he already got the things.
After the three of them passed through the main hall, they arrived at a corridor. Yue Congdie generously led the two of them to a pavilion in the backyard. Then, she said to Yi Tian, "Honored guest, please wait here for a moment." Then, she pointed at Zhou Qing and said, "Please follow this concubine to the side hall for tea."
Looking at Zhou Qing's eager appearance, Yi Tian felt a burst of pity. He really didn't know what kind of expression Zhou Qing would have when he found out that he pushed him into the fire pit.
Without thinking about anything else, Yi Tian also sat down in the pavilion and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, he heard someone walking in from the small courtyard. When he opened his eyes, Yi Tian smiled. The person who came was Yue Tong Xuan whom he saw in the Xuanling Cave. She was holding a lantern in her hand and walked slowly to the pavilion. Then she sat opposite Yi Tian and said softly, "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I come?" Yi Tian said with a smile, "Just by the fact that you called such a party, I can guess what you want to do."
This time it was Yue Tong Xuan's turn to be stunned. She carefully looked at Yi Tian in front of her, wanting to see through him again.
