The celebration in Heaven Sword City was still going on, but this matter had nothing to do with Yi Tian anymore. Ever since the end of the refining competition, the business of the Zheng Family's refining shop had exploded.
People came in an endless stream to inquire if there were any humanoid puppets for sale, even if it was a low-level one that was suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators to control. Those who came to inquire were usually cultivators from aristocratic families. Any family would have a junior that needed to be protected.
And this kind of humanoid puppet was definitely a spirit artifact with a moderate price and an extremely high cost-performance ratio. For a time, the main store was also filled with people inquiring.
As the instigator, Yi Tian was currently sitting in the main hall of the Zheng Family's mansion. At the same time, Zheng Rutong and Zheng Yong were also present. To be honest, the ranking after this competition was much better than Zheng Rutong had expected. Right now, his face was filled with a satisfied smile. Many years ago, he had heard from the inner sect's Sun Deqing that someone from the Zheng Family had caused a spirit artifact tribulation by refining a level 5 spirit artifact in the refining area of the West Peak Mountain. After asking around, he found out that it was caused by the refining consecrator Yi Tian.
Zheng Rutong was also an understanding person. As long as it was beneficial to the family, this was not a big deal. Furthermore, Sun Deqing and the Zheng Family could be considered to be familiar with each other, so this matter was directly suppressed.
This time, Zheng Rutong's original intention was to rely on Yi Tian to protect the family's ranking. In the end, Sun Deqing even came to act out a double act, directly making the Zheng Family's name known. Right now, there were many people coming to buy humanoid puppets. The refining method was still in Yi Tian's hands, so this matter had to be discussed. In Zheng Rutong's opinion, it was nothing more than a matter of distribution of benefits. As long as Yi Tian had a demand, this matter would not be difficult to settle.
On the other hand, Zheng Yong, who was sitting at the side, would occasionally glance at the Patriarch. He was looking at this money tree, ready to pick the fruits. When Zheng Rutong saw this, he sighed in his heart. This junior really couldn't keep his composure, he couldn't compare to the shrewdness of others.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Yi Tian also looked at the Zheng Family with a smile on his face. Right now, he still had a favor to ask of them, so he definitely didn't want to strangle their relationship. After the Armament Refining Competition ended, he was directly invited here by the Patriarch. His intentions were self-evident. After a while, Yi Tian spoke first, "This time, I didn't let you down. I wonder if you can fulfill your promise and fulfill my wish."
Zheng Rutong smiled and said, "Of course, of course." He casually took out a token and handed it to Yi Tian, then said, "This is the token of the Emerald Cave Blessed Land. You are not a disciple of the Sect, so you can't occupy the blessed land of the Inner Court. Fortunately, the sect has a piece of blessed land in Mount Fujun, which is specially provided for the sect's consecrators. Take the token and go there. You can ask for a Heaven-class blessed land for 20 years. It's a small token of appreciation from the Zheng family. "
After receiving the token, Yi Tian checked it happily. Then, he took out the map of the Western Wasteland and found the location of Mount Fujun. The blessed land was five hundred miles west of the Western Peak Mountain. It belonged to the Immortal Sword Sect. A few hundred miles west was the Wasteland.
Turning his head to look at the jade token in his hand, Yi Tian's heart was set. He could directly cultivate in the blessed land for the rest of the time. It was said that renting a blessed land cost a lot. A Heaven-class blessed land like this would cost at least four to five hundred spirit stones for 20 years. It seemed that the Zheng family had invested heavily in him.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian stood up and stepped forward to salute Zheng Rutong, "Many thanks to the Patriarch. I also have a small gift for the Patriarch. "Then, he took out a copy of the Puppet Technique and handed it over to Zheng Rutong.
Before coming, Yi Tian had thought about it. Since the Puppet Technique was exposed, there was no need to hide it. When he chose to create the Puppet Technique, he had already made preparations. He had copied the Puppet Technique and made it into a single scroll. At this time, it was a good opportunity to do him a favor. It was a win-win situation for everyone.
Seeing that Yi Tian was so tactful, Zheng Yong hastily stepped forward and thanked him. Then, he took the jade slip and began to comprehend it. Seeing this, Zheng Rutong sighed and laughed. He thought that he would have to spend a lot of effort to persuade Li Baoxiao. He did not expect that Li Baoxiao would side with him.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Rutong opened his mouth and said, "Brother Yi, if your Core Formation is successful, then when you return, we can be equals. At that time, if you want to leave or stay, then you can do so. I still have a five hundred year old Yellow Essence here. I will give it to you in advance as a congratulatory gift. " Then, he took out a sealed jade box from his storage ring and handed it over to Yi Tian. It could be considered as a compensation for the Puppet Technique.
Two hours later, when they left the Zheng Clan's residence, it was around evening. Yi Tian slowly strolled along the street back to his shop in the northern part of the city. During this time, he bought a lot of pills and materials. This time, he was going to pack up and leave.
When he returned to the shop, it was already late at night. He saw Zheng Fu standing at the entrance as if he was waiting for him.
Seeing that Yi Tian had returned, Zheng Fu hastily walked over and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Master Yi, for taking first place. You have brought glory to our Zheng Clan."
Yi Tian was confused. "What do you mean by taking first place? Wasn't it fifth place?"
"What are you talking about? Right now, everyone is saying that your puppet could withstand two grade five spirit tools without being defeated. Although the City Lord's Mansion said that your work was ranked fifth, insiders privately said that your work deserved to be ranked first. Didn't someone send an invitation card to you? "After saying that, Zheng Fu pointed inside the shop's lobby.
Following his gesture, Yi Tian's gaze swept across the store, and his pupils constricted. There was really someone in the shop. When he walked in, he saw that it was a Qi Refinement realm cultivator. He held a red envelope in his hand. After receiving the letter, Yi Tian directly rewarded the messenger with three spirit stones. Then, he looked at the letter and saw the words' To Master Yi 'written on it.
Cultivators usually relied on transmission to communicate with each other through letters. It was very rare to see something like this. After instructing Zheng Fu, Yi Tian returned to the refining room and opened the letter. With a cursory glance, the content was very simple. It was just an appointment to meet at the Falling Horse Slope, fifty kilometers west of Heaven Sword City. However, the writer did not sign his name.
This left people scratching their heads. However, after reading the letter, Yi Tian could not help but fall into deep thought. He glanced at the last part of the letter which had the mark of the Middle State's' Li Fire Sect '.
The letter itself was made of spirit beast skin. The imprint was imprinted with a secret technique of the sect. Yi Tian had previously learned from the sect's secret scrolls that this imprint was a special symbol left behind when the upper echelons of the sect communicated with each other. Even the middle and low-level disciples of the sect did not know about it.
After keeping the letter, Yi Tian pondered for a moment. It seemed like he had given the other party some clues about his artifact refinement. He had no choice but to go.
That night, when the moon was high in the sky, Yi Tian instructed Zheng Fu that he would be leaving Heaven Sword City for a long time. After that, the main shop would send a new artificer to oversee it. Then, he packed his luggage and disguised himself as an ordinary cultivator from an aristocratic family before quietly leaving the city.
Two hours later, in the sky above the Falling Horse Slope outside Heaven Sword City, Yi Tian surveyed his surroundings. He did not discover anything out of the ordinary for the time being. Looking up at the sky, he saw that it was about time for the appointment. He slowly descended to the ground.
The entire Falling Horse Slope was actually only half a kilometer in size. Standing at the top of the slope, other than the small forest at the bottom, one could clearly see everything within three kilometers. Less than three breaths after Yi Tian stood still, he saw a person quickly walk over from the forest. Yi Tian hurriedly used his eye technique to identify the person. Unsurprisingly, it was Huo Chilian, who he had met in the artifact refinement competition.
Ten breaths later, when Huo Chilian was thirty feet away, Yi Tian said, "Fellow Daoist Huo, why have you invited me so late at night?"
Huo Chilian replied, "It is rare to meet someone from the same sect in the Western Wasteland. It is truly fortunate. I wonder which sect does Brother Yi come from?"
This question was truly not easy to answer. Yi Tian was startled. It seemed that Huo Chilian had misunderstood him. Without changing his expression, he said, "Fellow Daoist Huo seems to have mistaken me for someone else. I am a disciple of the Immortal Sword Sect. How could I possibly come from the same sect as you?"
Huo Chilian sneered and said, "A straightforward person does not resort to insinuations. Brother Yi, the method of engraving the artifact refinement is clearly unique to my 'Heaven and Earth Imperial Fire Sect'."
Hearing this, Yi Tian understood. Although he had tried his best to conceal his cultivation, there were still some clues left behind. However, it seemed that Huo Chilian was not very sure. Furthermore, he remembered that the Wise King Holy Son had said that this' Heaven and Earth Imperial Fire Sect 'was a branch of the' Li Fire Sect '. He guessed that their relationship would not be good.
After thinking about it, he calmed down and replied, "My method of engraving was passed down by my master. As for your 'Heaven and Earth Imperial Fire Sect', this is the first time I have heard of it."
Huo Chilian was slightly hesitant after hearing this. Just based on the method of engraving, he could not determine the identity of the other party. Furthermore, he was in the territory of the Immortal Sword Sect. Immediately after, he said, "I am very interested in Brother Yi's Puppet Technique. I wonder if it is possible to exchange."
Weapon refiners exchanging pointers was a common occurrence. However, Yi Tian was slightly vigilant and replied, "What technique are you going to use to exchange?"
"I have a remnant scroll from the Nature Work Sect. I wonder if Brother Yi is interested?" Huo Chilian took out a broken jade slip and placed it in his hand.
When Yi Tian extended his divine sense to take a closer look, he confirmed that the jade slip was made of the same material as the one in his storage ring. Immediately after, he replied unhurriedly, "Alright, but I want the original copy. You can make a copy yourself." Then, he took out a blank jade slip and began to engrave the Puppet Technique.
After a quarter of an hour, both sides opened the two jade slips in their hands at the same time to show that they did not miss anything. After extending their divine sense to each other, they roughly scanned the jade slips and nodded their heads in satisfaction. After putting away the jade slips in their hands, the two of them directly exchanged the things that the other party needed.
Suddenly, a few flashes of light flashed in the dark night sky. At first, the two of them did not care about it. They were in the territory of the Heaven Sword City, and there were many cultivators coming and going. But after three breaths of time, they realized that something was wrong. The flashes of light were flying straight towards the two of them. Based on the speed, it should be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Yi Tian turned his head to look at Huo Chilian. He realized that the other party also had a blank look on his face, but he did not know who the other party was coming for. However, it seemed that this was not a good thing. Since the two of them had completed the exchange, it was not convenient for them to stay any longer. Both of them leaped into the air and took precautions.
