The Magistrate of River Wan County had some kind of good luck this year. Recently, there had been one joyous event after another.
First, the White Horse Gang eradicated the Azure Bamboo Sect and took over the Azure Bamboo Sect's business.
In this way, his brother Wang Gui's annual bonus would be doubled.
In less than two months, the White Horse Gang's leader Wang Gui, Ren Binghai, and Tu Jiaojiao died. He thought that River Wan County would be in chaos again.
However, the White Horse Gang's influence was indeed strong. In three days, the new leader Wang Bao, under the leadership of the White Horse Gang's elder Ren Kui, quickly organized the gang's affairs.
A few days ago, Wang Bao represented the White Horse Gang to deliver this year's bonus to the Magistrate. Moreover, the bonus was more than expected. This made the Magistrate very happy, and he repeatedly praised Wang Bao.
Bei City had recently established a chamber of commerce. The chairman of the chamber of commerce was Wang Er of the White Horse Gang. It was said that when the chairman was chosen, it was Yi Da of the Yi Ji Cereal Store.
However, he knew his place and insisted on nominating Wang Er of the White Horse Gang to be the chairman. He was only willing to be the vice chairman.
The Four Seas Casino's business was even more prosperous than before. The Gang Leader Wang Bao and the Great Elder Ren Kui took turns overseeing it.
They also set a new rule. Every festival, on the first and fifteenth of the month, the guests who came would be given a 30% discount. They also provided free food and lodging, allowing the merchants to play to their heart's content. It was said that it was called a one-stop service.
Wang Bao also told everyone that his nickname was the Four Seas Casino's second God of Gamblers. When people heard it, their hearts itched to know what kind of three-headed, six-armed person could beat Wang Bao.
However, every time they asked Wang Bao, they would get a reply that as long as they won the dice, he would tell them.
However, no one ever got an answer. The reason was that Wang Bao had never lost a bet. Over time, the people who were curious stopped asking.
Gradually, Wang Bao's reputation became even more resounding. Even many people who came from afar came to see the Four Seas Casino's second God of Gamblers.
Yi Tian, the instigator of the whole incident, did not know that Wang Bao would become so famous. However, Yi Tian had already stepped into the Cultivation World.
His reputation in the secular world would eventually become a legend, a topic for mortals to talk about before meals and after tea.
That day, he was on his way back to River Bend Village. This time, after returning to see his family, he was about to embark on a long journey to search for the illusory path to immortality.
This time, Yi Tian also brought some gifts for his parents, a few books for his younger brother, who had just started his primary school, and a nanmu walking stick for his grandfather. He had not been at home for so many years, and this time, he would stay for a few days before leaving.
Hewan Village was still the same as before. It was just that the father was old, the mother had more wrinkles on her face, and the grandfather's back was bent even more.
Her younger brother had grown taller, the house he lived in had become bigger, and there were more servants in the house.
Half of the barren land in River Bend Village had been bought by the Yi family. All the people who came to work came because of Old Master Yi's reputation.
This time, when Yi Tian came back, he specially asked his grandfather to tell him about the ghost hitting the wall in Mount Hua.
The Old Master said that he had only heard about it from his ancestors. His ancestors had also encountered the Ghost Labyrinth in Mount Yihua.
Later on, he had obtained something on the mountain and left Mount Yihua. After returning, he had settled down here. After going there a few times, he had not encountered such a thing again.
In the end, he also suggested that Yi Tian find some time to visit the ancestral hall in the clan. The last time Yi Tian went there was when he left home to study at the county's accounting office. It had been six or seven years since then.
Yi Tian did not forget to cultivate when he was recuperating at home. The last time he fought with the black-robed man was still vivid in his mind.
If it was not for the rooster's blood that could break through the Yin Specter Refining Corpse, he might not have been able to come back.
After the battle last time, Yi Tian realized that his Qi Refining stage two cultivation was too weak.
The next time he encountered a Qi Refining stage three cultivator, he would not be so lucky. Therefore, the most important thing now was to improve his cultivation.
After checking the black-robed man's belongings, he found that there was a corpse controlling manual called the Yin Corpse Technique in his bag.
Although it was only the first half of the manual, the contents of the manual gave Yi Tian a shock.
The cultivator who practiced the Yin Corpse Technique had to have a Yin spiritual root or a water spiritual root, which had to meet the requirements of the Yin Corpse Technique.
The difficulty of controlling the refined corpse was also different according to the cultivation level of the cultivator. Ordinary people's corpses needed to be sacrificed with the blood of chickens and ducks. Houtian Realm Level Nine experts needed large animals such as cows, horses, and sheep. Xiantian experts or cultivators needed the blood of women. It seemed that the black-robed man's hands were stained with blood.
Yi Tian disdained to learn this kind of sorcery. However, Yi Tian was very interested in the Feng Shui Dragon Seeking Technique taught in the Yin Corpse Technique.
Anyone with a certain status would bury themselves in a place with good Feng Shui. This way, they would be able to bring good fortune to their descendants.
However, Yi Tian did not expect that the cultivators in the cultivation world were also like this.
Other than the Yin Corpse Technique, there was also a Fire Spiritual Art. This was what Yi Tian was most interested in. It also contained a Fireball Technique.
Although the Fire Spiritual Art and the Wood Spiritual Art were basic spiritual arts that could be found everywhere in the cultivation world, they were priceless treasures for Yi Tian who was in the early stages of cultivation.
In the cultivation world, there was a saying that a journey of a thousand miles began. Taking the first step was the most difficult.
Now, for Yi Tian, someone had sent him a stepping stone for him to take the first step. Wasn't he blessed by the heavens?
He definitely had to practice the Fire Spiritual Art, but definitely not in his home in River Wan Village.
The place that Yi Tian wanted to go the most now was Mount Yi. First, he would practice the Fire Spiritual Art. Then, he would explore the depths of Mount Yi. There was definitely something strange there.
There were still two spirit stones in his bag. This way, Yi Tian's snack storage would have three spirit stones.
Even if he practiced the Fire Spiritual Art in Mount Yi, it wouldn't be a problem to use one spirit stone.
What's more, Yi Tian who practiced both the Wood Spiritual Art and the Fire Spiritual Art didn't know if it would work. Because he might have the Wood Spiritual Root, but he didn't know if he had the Fire Spiritual Root.
However, Yi Tian liked the Fireball Technique very much. Although its power was a bit small, the advantage was that it used less spiritual power and had less preparation time. The Fireball Technique could be used to support the Escaping Wood Stake.
Moreover, the Wood Spiritual Art was relatively simple, but it was more useful in support. It could be used to cultivate spiritual plants.
When attacking, it could be used to hinder the opponent's movements. The most commonly used was the Vine Entanglement.
And the Fire Spiritual Art was generally recognized as the most offensive spiritual art. It was recorded in the Fire Spiritual Art that after cultivating to Qi Disciple Level 5, the Fireball Technique could be upgraded to Continuous Fireball. Its power would increase by several times.
Moreover, practicing the Fire Spiritual Art was the foundation of all alchemy and refining. Therefore, Yi Tian urgently wanted to practice the Fire Spiritual Art and the Fireball Technique.
Finally, there was a map with several Immortal Cultivator Market marked on it. Yi Tian had only come into contact with Tong Chi and the black-robed man. He guessed that there must be other cultivators in this world.
Therefore, Yi Tian wanted to communicate with other cultivators. After all, relying on himself to cultivate was extremely difficult. Moreover, he didn't know anything about the road ahead. He still needed someone to guide him.
Ten days later, in the early morning, Yi Tian put nearly twenty thousand taels of silver and a farewell letter in his room. Then, he quietly left home.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to pay his respects to the ancestral shrine. When he entered the ancestral shrine to pay his respects, Yi Tian felt that something was wrong.
After paying his respects, he didn't find anything. Yi Tian thought of opening his Divine Vision. He glanced inside the ancestral shrine and suddenly found a square object behind the third row of the second floor.
Therefore, he went forward and moved the row away. He found a half-broken wooden seal. It was cold to the touch.
Half of the words under the seal were already gone. He could barely make out a few words on the other half. However, he couldn't recognize them. In the end, Yi Tian could only laugh foolishly at his shallow knowledge.
After leaving the ancestral shrine, Yi Tian directly went to the village master to ask if he could recognize these words.
In the end, even the master couldn't say. He only said that this thing should be worth a lot of money.
Looking at the quality, it should be carved from the best Phoebe zhennan wood. Unfortunately, it was a bit damaged.
Yi Tian also didn't know. After all, it was placed in the ancestral shrine for many years. After putting away the seal, he thanked the master.
After Yi Tian left the village, he rode his horse into the mountains. After traveling for a while, he realized that there was no road ahead. He left his horse on a patch of grass beside Mount Yihua and walked into Mount Yihua alone.
This time, Yi Tian followed the location in his memory and quickly found the flat bottom of the valley where he cultivated last time.
Sitting there, Yi Tian read the Fire Spirit Art from beginning to end a few times. He was even able to recite it before he prepared to cultivate.
With the experience from the first time, Yi Tian prepared the Qi Drawing Powder and a spirit stone in case he needed it.
Unexpectedly, when he drew the Qi into his body this time, Yi Tian felt the surrounding Fire Spirit Qi crazily rush into his body. For a moment, his veins were a bit swollen.
Fortunately, Yi Tian had cultivated the Wood Spirit Art for three to four years. His body had been nourished by the Wood Spirit Qi and his varicose veins were much stronger.
Otherwise, the first time he cultivated it, he would have become a cripple. Fortunately, he saved the spirit stone this time. As the saying goes, there are gains and losses.
As for the Fireball Technique, it was as if it was naturally prepared for Yi Tian. Cultivating it was easy.
Yi Tian experimented with the Fireball Technique in the valley. In the end, he was able to shoot three consecutive Fireballs. At night, the entire valley was set ablaze. Yi Tian had no choice but to pack up and leave.
The villagers of River Bend Village thought that the thunder had caused the mountain fire. At night, when they saw the flames in the valley soaring into the sky, they were afraid that the mountain fire would spread.
Fortunately, it rained that night and extinguished the mountain fire. Only then did the villagers feel at ease and return home to sleep.
At this time, Yi Tian, the initiator of the fire, was sitting on a large tree and resting. The Fireball Technique just now had almost exhausted the Spirit Qi in his body.
Therefore, he had no choice but to find a place to meditate and recover. This time, his cultivation was more effective than before. His absorption of Spirit Qi was much faster.
Yi Tian guessed that it might be because he cultivated two Elements at the same time. Looking inside his dantian, he saw a stream of green True Qi and a stream of red True Qi continuously fusing together.
After the fusion, the orange True Qi pillar was thicker than before. This made Yi Tian extremely happy. It was obvious that he was more suited to cultivate the Fire Spirit Art.
Otherwise, it could be that his Fire Spirit Root was stronger than his Wood Spirit Root. Therefore, his cultivation was twice as fast with half the effort.
After the excitement, Yi Tian also secretly made plans for the future. Since he could cultivate the Fire Spirit Art quickly, then he could cultivate it as his main cultivation method.
The Wood Spirit Art could be cultivated as a secondary cultivation method. Since he had this luck, then if he had the opportunity in the future, he would try to learn how to refine pills and tools.
