The Immortal Sword Sect disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect would usually meet at the Gathering Immortals Tower, while the disciples of the other sects and rogue cultivators would mostly meet at the Gathering Clouds Tower. These places could also be said to be the gold squandering dens of cultivators. Not only did the teahouse provide elegant rooms for business, it also specialized in gambling and entertainment. Just renting an elegant room would cost a thousand spirit stones, and a top quality Cloud Mist Immortal Cup would cost eight hundred spirit stones.
On the top floor of the Gathering Clouds Tower, Yi Tian and Dugu Ao sat facing each other. After toasting each other with a cup of tea, they each took a sip. Dugu Ao's face was filled with joy. Although his voice was as calm as water, the light in his eyes betrayed the excitement in his heart.
Yi Tian, who was sitting opposite him, laughed: "Brother Dugu, this time, the spirit tool 'True Demonic Blood Blade' is undergoing tribulation. I truly admire you for withstanding three lightning strikes."
Dugu Ao, on the other hand, had a face of admiration as he said, "Brother Yi is the one who doesn't show off. That spirit artifact of yours is actually able to attract two bolts of Purple Fire Heavenly Lightning. I believe it's definitely not some ordinary item. I also admire Master's skill greatly."
Ten days ago, at a quarter past noon, a blood-red steel saber flew out of the restriction outside the Earth-grade crafting room in the West Peak Volcano. Dugu Ao had just received it, but before he could be happy, he heard Yi Tian's voice from the restriction: "Level five top grade 'True Demonic Blood Blade', drip blood on it to recognize its master, spirit tool tribulation."
After the tribulation clouds in the sky gathered, Dugu Ao used his blade to pass through the tribulation. Although the first two bolts of lightning were easily withstood, by the time the third bolt arrived, it was obvious that he was unable to hold on. In the end, he relied on his profound cultivation and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he activated a secret technique to withstand the tribulation. After that, he only looked like he had overdrawn his spirit energy.
After landing, Dugu Ao activated his technique and stored the 'True Demonic Blood Blade' into his dantian. Then, he sat down on the ground and took out a bottle of Demonic Essence Pills. He took out two pills and consumed them. Then, he sat on the ground and quickly dissolved the pills to recover his spirit energy.
Unexpectedly, the tribulation clouds in the sky didn't disperse even after a long time. The group of blacksmiths who were watching from afar were still puzzled when they saw the restriction of the entire crafting room open. Yi Tian flew out with a Spirit Artifact in his hand. Then, the thunder clouds in the sky turned purple. Two Purple Fire Heavenly Thunders as thick as a baby's arm struck down and struck the Spirit Artifact in Yi Tian's hand.
Everyone only saw that Yi Tian's right hand had a ball of flame to protect the spiritual weapon. After that, he took two Purple Fire Heavenly Thunders that were as thick as an arm. Everyone below was so shocked that their faces were filled with fear. Unexpectedly, after three breaths, Yi Tian slowly descended from the sky as if nothing had happened. His face was full of smiles. As for the spiritual weapon in his hand, it was instantly put away by him.
By now, the substitute doll had already been absorbed into his dantian and was being nurtured. After dripping his blood on it, the substitute doll looked like Yi Tian. It was like a miniature version of Yi Tian. Moreover, he could clearly feel that his own luck was secretly and intimately connected with this substitute doll. Right now, the seal in his dantian was still floating at the top. Below it was a substitute doll that looked like Yi Tian floating above the spirit liquid.
According to the description of the Heavenly Works Artifact remnant scroll, this substitute doll was only in its original color. As long as it was nurtured for a period of time, after absorbing Yi Tian's spirit qi, it would change into the corresponding color. At that time, every time it automatically blocked a fatal attack for Yi Tian, a crack would appear. Moreover, as long as it was nurtured in his body for more than ten years, it would be able to recover.
As for Dugu Ao's Natal Spirit Artifact, it would be similar to his. This time, both of them had gotten what they wanted. Moreover, Yi Tian had also earned a favor from Dugu Ao and Yi Tian. It could be considered a big harvest.
As the two of them were talking, Yi Tian suddenly felt a message from the communication token in his storage bracelet. He casually took it out and saw that it was a message from Shui Dongcheng. After Yi Tian read it carefully, he realized that Shui Dongcheng had found a companion and wanted to bring him over to meet Yi Tian. Yi Tian did not hesitate and directly replied. He also asked Shui Dongcheng to bring people to Yunlai Restaurant to discuss the next step.
After sending the message, Yi Tian pondered for a moment, then glanced at Dugu Ao in front of him. When he saw this, he thought that Yi Tian had something important to do. However, when he saw Yi Tian's serious expression, Dugu Ao knew that Yi Tian had something to ask of him.
Yi Tian said, "Brother Dugu, you and I have only met by chance, but we can be considered old friends. I originally wanted to find someone to help me with this matter. If you are interested, can you listen to what I have to say? "
At this point, Dugu Ao could no longer stand by and watch. He thought to himself, 'It is always a good thing to have the opportunity to return a favor. If it is beyond my ability, there is no need to rush to agree.' After thinking about it, he replied, "Brother Yi, please speak. If there is anything I can help with, please speak."
Thus, Yi Tian took out the token and handed it over to the other party. Then, he told the other party about his cooperation with Shui Dong Cheng and Du Heiyi. Dugu Ao was still a little skeptical at first, but when he took the token and carefully observed the patterns on it, he became interested. This thing was at least a thousand years old. It was self-evident that Yi Tian took it out at this time.
Yi Tian did not intend to hide it from people who knew what it was. After all, people like them were born with an extremely keen sense of smell and observation. Cultivators were originally fighting against the heavens. Normally, exploring ruins and cave residences was not a problem. Although everyone knew that there was a lot of danger, the risk and the profit were proportional.
After a while, when Yi Tian completely described the matter, Dugu Ao laughed and said, "I thought it was something difficult. Brother Yi, don't worry. We will advance and retreat together."
Seeing that Dugu Ao was so straightforward, Yi Tian also smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will also ask Brother Dugu to take care of me. As for the matter of breaking the formation, I will take care of it."
An hour later, the two heard some people quarreling outside the top floor of Yunlai Restaurant. After Yi Tian opened the door to the elegant room, he saw Shui Dongcheng and a man and woman being stopped by the waiter at the top floor's stairs.
After listening carefully, he found out that the rule of Yunlai Restaurant was that anyone who came to the top floor had to pay a room fee of three hundred spirit stones per person. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Shui Dongcheng did not care about this matter. Besides, he was only here to look for someone, so there was no need to spend money.
The waiter on the top floor also stopped them and insisted on collecting the spirit stones before letting them go up. Moreover, the boss of Yunlai Restaurant was considered a reputable figure in Heaven Sword City. The Qi Condensation stage waiter was not afraid of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators at all.
When the few of them were arguing, they heard Dugu Ao's voice, "These people are here to look for me. Put it on my tab."
Seeing this, Shui Dongcheng angrily led the two people behind him towards the elegant room. Before he left, he did not forget to glare fiercely at the waiter. He did not expect that the waiter did not even put him in his eyes. He walked away with a face of disdain and said weakly, "You're not even willing to pay three hundred spirit stones. What are you pretending to be a master for?"
After hearing this, Shui Dongcheng, who was walking in front, staggered and almost lost his breath and pace. Since the matter at hand was more important, he did not want to waste any more time with irrelevant people and directly led them into the elegant room.
As soon as the three of them entered the room, they saw two people sitting across from them. Yi Tian saw that they had arrived, so he stood up and said, "Brother Dongcheng, you brought them here. Please introduce them." He also pointed at Dugu Ao and said, "This is a friend I found. Fellow Dugu, let's get to know each other."
Unexpectedly, after the three of them sat down, they became particularly restrained. Even Shui Dongcheng, who was always talkative, was particularly careful. This made Yi Tian very puzzled. Fortunately, the purpose of this time was only to introduce the people.
After closing the door, Yi Tian opened a soundproof barrier. Then, Shui Dongcheng calmed down and pointed at the two people beside him and said, "These two are Yang Ling and Tong Yan. They are the partners I found."
Meeting for the first time, Yi Tian had to have some understanding of the partners this time. He looked up and down at the two people. Yang Ling was a dull man who looked to be in his forties. According to Shui Dongcheng's sound transmission, he could be considered to be the same kind of person as Du Heiyi, who specialized in stealing treasures and solving problems for people. Asking more, Yi Tian knew that Yang Ling was an amateur killer. This kind of person's cultivation should be considered to be passable.
As for Tong Yan, who was sitting at the side, her eyes constantly swept over everyone present. Although she looked like a young married woman in her mid-twenties, and her enchanting madam's attire made people feel that she was a delicate and delicate woman, Tong Yan, who was sitting at the side, constantly glanced at everyone present. Shui Dongcheng explained with sound transmission, "Fairy Tong is an expert in tracking. She has just reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. She is resourceful."
However, she still intentionally avoided Dugu Ao's gaze as she looked around. Yi Tian saw this and found it funny. He knew that the two of them were sensible people. At the very least, they were able to assess the situation.
Yi Tian didn't care about the people Shui Dongcheng found. He said casually, "Do the two of you know something about this matter?"
Yang Ling glanced at Dugu Ao, then smiled and said, "We all know. With the successor of the Heavenly Devil Palace in this operation, the probability of success will be greatly increased. Of course, we have to make it clear in advance. Except for the first three people who can choose one item, the rest have to be divided equally."
Tong Yan also echoed, "Yes, yes. Don't use your cultivation to suppress people."
This time, it was Yi Tian's turn to laugh. It seemed that he had guessed right. This Dugu Ao was also a ruthless person, but he didn't know much about him.
Shui Dongcheng hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "That won't happen. Don't worry, we are investigating the ruins together. We will not do anything that will cause internal conflicts."
Dugu Ao sneered, then took out a storage bag and handed it to Yi Tian. "This is the 100,000 spirit stones needed to refine the token to open the door. I will leave first. Brother Yi and the others can gather the required amount. If you need to refine the token, just let me know."
After he finished speaking, he didn't care about the three people's gazes. He directly got up, opened the door, and left.
Yi Tian could only reply. It seemed that Dugu Ao's reputation was quite ruthless. At least the three people in front of him were somewhat afraid of him. This was also good. The stronger the people Yi Tian found, the more advantageous it would be for the exploration.
After they left, Shui Dongcheng and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they said, "Master Yi, how did you find him for help?"
With that in mind, Yi Tian smiled and patted Shui Dongcheng. "Don't worry, it's fine. He won't eat you. Right, I also found a helper. He is a cultivator from the Immortal Sword Sect. His name is Xing Yuan. "
The teacup in Shui Dongcheng's hand fell on the table with a clang. His eyes widened as he looked at Yi Tian and asked, "Who else did you find?"
"Xing Yuan. He should be someone who cares about his family."
"Do you know who they are?" Shui Dongcheng shouted.
"Brother Dongcheng, don't be impatient. I have contacted Xing Yuan and feel that he is quite reliable. Moreover, Dugu Ao also recognizes him."
Shui Dongcheng laughed angrily. "How can they not know each other? These two people are the direct disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect. In the competition between the two sects twenty years later, they will compete with each other. Dugu Ao's skill is more than enough to beat the two of us. Moreover, he has a fierce reputation. People call him Little Blood Demon. He will not be lenient when killing people."
"What about Xing Yuan?"
Shui Dongcheng looked helplessly at Yi Tian. "He is the head of the Immortal Sword Sect's Seven Absolute Swords. With my cultivation level, Xing Yuan can fight three of them."
Yi Tian paused and said, "It seems that Xing Yuan is stronger. However, after Dugu Ao refines the spirit tool, they should be able to fight to a draw. I really want to see the battle between the two of them."
This time, even Yang Ling and Tong Yan looked at Yi Tian with exasperation. Then, they looked at Lower Water East City. What they meant was, "How are we, loose cultivators, supposed to survive when all the people your friend has found are so powerful?"
