Qing Feng City was located on the outskirts of the Western Wasteland and was at least a few thousand miles away from Heaven Sword City. It was not under the jurisdiction of the Three Great Sects, so most of the aristocratic families and loose cultivators would choose to come here to replenish their supplies.
The entire city was managed by Zhang, Liu, and Qu, the three loose cultivator aristocratic families. Interestingly, these three families were also attached to the Three Great Sects.
Among them, the Zhang Family's Zhang Fengyuan, who was attached to the Immortal Sword Sect, had the highest cultivation in the initial stage of Jin Dan, while the Liu Family's Liu Rujuan and Qu Family's Qu Xin were the deacons of the Demonic Sect and the Beautiful Lady Sect respectively.
On the surface, the Liu and Qu Families were on par with the Zhang Family because of their many years of marriage, but in reality, their strength was still far apart. More than 50% of the shops in the city were controlled by Zhang Fengyuan, and even the name of the mountain city was named after Zhang Fengyuan's second character.
The streets of Qing Feng City were filled with people hurrying back and forth. If they were not preparing to explore the wasteland, they were just returning from there and needed to sell their goods.
Compared to the surrounding people who were in a hurry, the people who were leisurely strolling through the streets seemed to be out of place. Currently, Yi Tian had suppressed his cultivation to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, so that he would not attract the attention of the three aristocratic families.
In the past twenty years, Yi Tian had wholeheartedly focused on cultivation. After completely consolidating his cultivation in the initial stage of Jin Dan, he found that there were no bottlenecks in his cultivation, so he directly cultivated to the middle stage of Jin Dan in one go before stopping. Calculating his age, he was not even a hundred years old this year. The cultivation speed of a hundred year old Jin Dan could be considered one of the top in the Tian Lan Continent. His future path would be much further than the average person.
After such a long period of closed door cultivation, his body was filled with spiritual power, and the spells in his hands had mostly been cultivated to the small success stage.
His natal spells, True Flame Armor and Spiral Fire Shield, were already quite mature. Even if he faced a middle stage Jin Dan cultivator, he would at least have no problem protecting himself.
His offensive spells were still mainly the One Wisdom King Hand, but it was a pity that he had to use the Asura True Body. In order to not expose his secret, he could not use this move if he could.
The fastest to cultivate were the 'Wind Lightning Evasion' and the 'Clear Spirit Dharma Eye'. Ever since Jin Dan absorbed the Purple Thunder Heavenly Tribulation, Yi Tian found that his Spirit Qi gradually contained the lightning attribute.
Although he didn't have any lightning-type spells to use, it was surprisingly effective in escaping techniques.
If he used the Wind Thunder Escape with all his strength, his speed would be five times faster than before. Unfortunately, the biggest limitation was that he consumed too much spiritual energy. Even if he was in his peak state, he could only maintain it for 15 minutes.
The 'Clear Spirit Law Eyes' was the first to be cultivated. When he used the second level of 'Discerning', he could easily see through the original appearance and attributes of the people around him.
Previously, in the cave, he had no choice but to experiment with the Fat Dog and the Red Flame Foal. Under the gaze of his Eye Technique, the two spirit beasts seemed to have sensed something. The Fat Dog was barking wildly and restlessly, while the Red Flame Foal was lying on the ground, trembling with fear.
However, Yi Tian was finally able to see through his Spirit Beasts. His Eye Technique allowed him to see the state of their Yao Cores. The Fat Dog's Yao Core was white and was about the size of a longan.
The Red Flame Foal's Yao Core was only the size of a peanut. Moreover, it was bumpy. At a glance, one could tell that it was caused by a congenital deficiency.
For this reason, Yi Tian deliberately changed the supply of the two Spirit Beasts. He also mixed materials that matched their attributes into the Beast Spirit Pills.
After doing this, he found that he had consumed more than half of his remaining Spirit Stones. Therefore, he had to end his seclusion. More than ten days ago, Yi Tian tried to use his cultivation to break the blood contract on his toes. After removing the weakest grey one, the following situation was not satisfactory.
Not to mention the Gu Clan's blood contract, even Xiang Feiying's one could not be removed. In the end, he had to take a compromise. He used his Profound Sun True Fire to seal the blood contract again. He had to find an opportunity to refine the 'Escape Curse Pill'.
This in turn proved that his cultivation had surpassed Yin Lixing. This matter was still entangled in Yi Tian's head. He had not been able to figure it out.
However, he had to first find a way to refine the 'Escape Curse Pill'. After looking at the raw materials for refining the pill, he found that most of them could be bought on the market. There was only one main ingredient called 'Serum Grass' that he had never heard of before.
Building a car behind closed doors was not a good idea. Next, Yi Tian decisively decided that it was not a good idea to stay here. He might as well go out and try his luck. Maybe there would be a turn for the better.
Although he used a seal to cover the blood contract, there was no guarantee that the other party would not be able to sense it. Therefore, Yi Tian could only try his best to search for it in the Heavenly Devil Sect, the Cha Nu Sect, or the three ungoverned areas.
After coming to Qingfeng City, he heard the low level cultivators talking about how to explore the depths of the Western Wasteland and how to resell goods.
He searched all the pill stores in Qingfeng City for the whereabouts of the 'Serum Grass', but almost none of them could give him a definite answer.
In the end, a pill store gave him a solution. There was a 'Wonderful Treasure House' in Qingfeng City that specialized in providing rare information and materials. There might be hope if he went there.
When he heard the name 'Wonderful Treasure House', Yi Tian was overjoyed. When he was in Eastern Ao, he had interacted with them. It seemed that their power was spread all over the Tian Lan Continent.
Since he had come, he could not miss it. After inquiring about the location of the store, Yi Tian directly searched for the name of the store.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he found the 'Wonderful Treasure House'. He stood at the door and looked around. Besides the banner in front of the door, there was nothing special. As soon as he entered the store, an attendant came up to inquire. Yi Tian only stated his request before being led to the VIP room at the back.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he saw a white-haired old man push open the door and walk in. After the two of them greeted each other, the old man said, "This humble one is Huang Renqing, the shopkeeper of the 'Wonderful Treasure House'. I wonder what business Fellow Daoist has this time."
When he heard this, Yi Tian was first stunned. He then secretly used his' Clear Spirit Dharma Eyes' to look. The old man sitting in front of him was actually an early Jin Dan cultivator. And the old man seemed to have seen through his cultivation, so he immediately addressed him as an equal.
After being looked at uncomfortably, Yi Tian's face twitched and he bitterly smiled. It was the first time he went out after forming his Gold Core and his flaws were seen through. Anyone would feel displeased. After concealing his embarrassment, he directly said, "This humble one has taken the liberty to disturb your esteemed store. I am only looking for a 'Serum Grass'. If you don't have it, you can provide some clues. "
"It seems Your Excellency has a blood contract and wants to refine a 'Curse Removal Pill'?" When he saw Yi Tian's expression immediately become vigilant, Huang Renqing promptly explained, "Fellow Daoist, don't panic. The greatest effect of this' Serum Grass' is to cleanse the body of the baleful blood Qi. For cultivators who hunt demon beasts all year round, it is a must have. As for high-grade spirit herbs, they are used as the main ingredient to refine a 'Curse Removal Pill'. "
When he heard this, Yi Tian still didn't understand. He directly asked, "How does Fellow Daoist know that I'm refining a pill and not cleansing the body of the baleful blood Qi?"
"Hehe, cultivators who hunt demon beasts all year round are filled with a vicious Qi, or baleful Qi, in their bones. I still have a discerning eye. Your Excellency's vicious Qi is completely absent. I reckon that you just came out of seclusion not long ago or haven't fought with anyone for a long time. "
At this moment, Yi Tian discovered that the shopkeeper of the Wonderful Treasure House in front of him couldn't be underestimated.
Just by looking at his cultivation, he might not be able to compare with him, but his experience was something that he absolutely couldn't compare with. With just a few words, he was able to more or less figure out his situation. It seems that each and every one of these Jin Dan cultivators were shrewd people.
After adjusting his expression, Yi Tian replied, "How did Fellow Daoist Huang discover my cultivation? Could it be that I revealed a flaw when I suppressed my cultivation?"
Huang Renqing waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't take offense. It wasn't a flaw, but rather my spirit beast discovered it." Finished speaking, he took out a spirit beast pouch from his waist. After a flash of white light, a white mouse about three inches long nested in his palm.
Seeing Yi Tian's puzzled expression, Huang Renqing smiled and said, "This is a Treasure Seeking Mouse. It has an innate talent and has a unique ability to sense heavenly treasures. In addition, it is quite sensitive to cultivators' cultivation. Ever since Fellow Daoist stepped through the door of my humble shop, my Treasure Seeking Mouse has been restless and has even gone a bit crazy. This situation is much more serious than when Old Ghost Zhang came, so I hastily came out to greet the guest. "
With this explanation, Yi Tian finally had a bit of confidence in his own cultivation. It turned out that his innate spirit beast had discovered his whereabouts.
However, according to Huang Renqing's words, the Treasure Seeking Mouse would react according to a cultivator's cultivation. Didn't that mean that he was more powerful than Zhang Fengyuan?
"What grade of Jin Dan did Zhang Fengyuan condense?" Yi Tian asked, puzzled.
Huang Renqing narrowed his eyes and replied, "He is the same as me, a mid to high grade Jin Dan."
When Yi Tian heard this, he looked into his dantian and saw a golden lump floating in the center.
Although he had been cultivating the Jin Dan Nine Revolution Arts for the past few years, the appearance of the Jin Dan had improved. The potholes on its surface had basically disappeared, but its shape was still the same. At most, it would be a seventh-grade Jin Dan.
However, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, Yi Tian paused for a moment before asking, "I am only an eighth-grade Jin Dan. I don't know why Fellow Daoist Huang's spirit beast has such a strong reaction."
This time, Huang Renqing was unable to answer. He looked at Yi Tian's expression and saw that he wasn't lying. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps my spirit beast made a mistake."
For the time being, Yi Tian accepted Huang Renqing's words. Ever since he had formed his Gold Core, he hadn't had the opportunity to properly exchange experiences with cultivators of the same grade.
"Does Fellow Daoist Huang have any understanding of the grade of Jin Dan? I would like to hear the details."
This time, Huang Renqing didn't hide anything. In any case, it was common knowledge among Jin Dan cultivators. With the intention of forming good karma, he directly explained it to Yi Tian.
Two hours later, Yi Tian recovered from Huang Renqing's endless words. At this moment, his heart was filled with excitement. According to Huang Renqing's explanation, if a cultivator reached the upper three grades of Gold Core, as long as they didn't die midway, they would have a chance at Yuanying.
Furthermore, a Jin Dan cultivator of the upper three grades of Gold Core could directly crush a late Jin Dan cultivator of the lower three grades of Gold Core or a mid Jin Dan cultivator of the middle three grades of Gold Core. No wonder he was able to easily break the blood contract with Yin Lixing. Based on this, his cultivation level should already be above Yin Lixing's.
However, after three breaths of time, Yi Tian's expression sank. According to his estimations, the Gu clan cultivator was at least a late middle or mid high level cultivator. In addition, that Xiang clan cultivator was also not weak. When he thought about how he had provoked such terrifying opponents, Yi Tian felt a bit scared.
