Thirty miles away from Qing Feng City, on a desolate hillside, the Zhang Clan's Zhang Fengyuan and the Qu Clan's Qu Xin were standing across from each other, with a distance of thirty to forty feet between them.
On the hillside, a stream of divine sense spread out and extended to Qu Xin's hand. The divine sense circled around Qu Xin's hand a few times and swept the fifth-grade wood element crystal core from top to bottom. It was better than expected. It should be a Level Five Monster Core. Yi Tian was delighted, but his face was as calm as water. He could not help but think, 'Qu Xin dared to take out such a thing for an exchange. Her request must not be small.' It was better to listen to her conditions first.
Yi Tian's face did not change as he asked, "Speak, what do you want?"
"I presume that Brother Zhang is still worried about the exploration of the ruins? According to the news I received, the Cha Nu Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect will be involved. I presume that Brother Zhang's Immortal Sword Sect will also send people? "Qu Xin laughed.
Yi Tian was surprised. How could he not have thought of this? After all, the Immortal Sword Sect had only sent a few non-core disciples to gain experience. Presumably, this time would not be unexpected.
Turning his head to look at Qu Xin, as if she still had something to say, he asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Qu Xin laughed, "Brother Zhang, once the sect gets involved, do you think it will affect our family's benefits? You are a Jin Dan cultivator. I presume that the Immortal Sword Sect will be courteous to you. However, I am only a Foundation Establishment cultivator. When the time comes, my words will not count. "
This time, Yi Tian secretly applauded. It turned out that these loose cultivators were not of the same mind as the sects. On the surface, they were attached to the sects, but in reality, they were secretly looking for opportunities to break away from the control of the sects and obtain the greatest benefits.
As a result, this transaction was still possible. Yi Tian laughed, "Qu Clan's woman, let's not beat around the bush. I know what you mean. When the time comes to distribute the benefits, you want this old man to help you obtain the greatest benefits. I will agree to this, but I also have a condition. "
After hearing Yi Tian's words, Qu Xin's face relaxed. Then, she looked a little hesitant. She only hoped that the other party would not ask for too much. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Zhang, if you have any requests, feel free to state them."
"You also know that helping you will offend the Beauty Sect. Although I'm not afraid, I still have to consider the safety of my family members." Yi Tian then turned to look at Zhang Yitong, who was not far away, and smirked a few times. He then transmitted his conditions to Qu Xin.
At first, Qu Xin was shocked. However, when she saw Yi Tian's resolute expression, she thought for a while and threw the Crystal Core in her hand over. Ten breaths later, Qu Xin sent him a voice transmission and told him her opinion.
After keeping the crystal cores, Yi Tian listened to the other party's reply and frowned. However, they quickly exchanged secret vocal transmissions. After a quarter of an hour, both sides nodded in agreement.
On the way back, Yi Tian asked about Zhang Yitong's situation from time to time. When he found out that Zhang Yitong was alone in his room, he said, "When we get back, we'll hold a clan meeting. I have something to announce at that time. As long as you agree, there will be benefits for you."
Although Zhang Yitong didn't know the inside story, he knew that this must be the result of the private negotiation between the family master and Qu Xin. He didn't dare to object and nodded in agreement.
3 days later, in the main hall of the Zhang family's backyard at noon, the family members were sitting in groups of twos and threes. Everyone was curious why the family master was in such a hurry to summon everyone.
The elders of the clan were also puzzled. Only Zhang Yitong was sitting in a corner, calm and composed.
When everyone was basically present, a white halo enveloped the room. Then, a phantasm of Zhang Fengyuan appeared on the main seat, followed by a hoarse voice.
Half a day later, after the internal discussion of the Zhang family and the final decision of Zhang Fengyuan, Zhang Yitong would represent the Zhang family and the Qu family by marriage from now on. Zhang Yitong also took the opportunity to become the acting family master of the Zhang family. Zhang Fengyuan had to fully prepare for the trip to the ruins two years later.
The marriage between the Zhang and Qu families was also carried out secretly. Those who knew about it were the senior members of the two families and the parties involved.
At this time, Yi Tian had already left and returned to the cave in the Smelt Forging Mountain Range.
In front of him were the five elements crystal cores and the embryo of the 'Fire Lotus Lamp'. After a long time of adjustment, Yi Tian had recovered to his best state. Looking at the materials in front of him, his face finally showed a long lost smile.
After a wisp of golden flame appeared on the fingertip of his right hand, Yi Tian first took out the five elements crystal cores and smelted them. The originally two inch irregular crystal cores quickly melted under the heat of the mysterious sun fire and turned into five different colored liquid crystal beads floating in the air.
Through his Divine Sense, he could carefully examine each crystal bead. Each crystal bead was sparkling and translucent, and contained rich Five Elements. After holding the five crystal beads in the air with his Divine Sense, Yi Tian pointed at the 'Purple Heaven Cup' with his left hand. The golden flame in his hand wrapped around the totem and kept calcining it.
After the whole process lasted for nearly half a day, the embryo of the 'Purple Heaven Cup' had become red. Then he raised his right hand and put the five elements crystal beads in, and then he increased the intensity of the true fire to smelt it.
This process lasted for nearly seven days. The embryo of the 'Purple Heaven Cup' had five different colors, as if the five elements spirit energy were being compressed into the embryo.
In the past twenty years, the tribulation thunder above the Smelt Forging Mountain Range's volcanic crater had not stopped. Those intermediate level beasts had already run hundreds of miles away from the Smelt Forging Mountain Range. Although they could not distinguish between a beast's advancement and a tool tribulation, the lightning tribulation from time to time did scare them.
When another five-colored thundercloud appeared above the crater of the volcano, all the demonic beasts on the ground were so scared that they began to run away from the volcano as fast as they could.
After the five-colored lightning tribulation descended, a simple lotus lamp appeared in the air, absorbing the baptism brought by the lightning tribulation and constantly strengthening the totem. Yi Tian below was also very excited. With this' Purple Heaven Cup ', the power of his Mysterious Sun True Fire would be greatly improved.
Originally, the 'Yin and Yang Dichroic Mirror' needed the strengthened Mysterious Sun True Fire to drive it. He estimated that the Mysterious Sun Ancestor Yun Zhongzheng was unable to strengthen his true fire at that time, so he ended up like a lamp that had run out of oil. As long as he progressed step by step, he believed that in the late Jin Dan period, he would be able to control the sect's treasure.
At that time, even if he met an early stage Yuanying cultivator, he would be able to catch them off guard. After taking back the Purple Heaven Cup, Yi Tian carefully scanned it with his spiritual sense. After passing the tool tribulation, it became a level five high grade totem.
The whole lamp was about five inches tall and two inches wide. At the bottom was a lotus root like base, and in the middle was a leaf stem as thick as a thumb. At the top was a lotus shaped lamp, and in the middle was a half inch thick hole, which should be the place to strengthen the true fire.
After taking back the Purple Heaven Cup, Yi Tian couldn't wait to go back to the depths of his cave. After the tray was done, he placed the lamp in front of him. Then he took out a trace of the true fire that he cultivated in his body, and slowly lit it in the middle of the lamp with his spiritual sense.
The wisp of Xuanyang True Fire seemed to have found a swimming pool. It jumped up and down in the Purple Heaven Lamp, and finally stabilized it in the fire lotus. Then, under Yi Tian's continuous control, the wisp of Xuanyang True Fire transformed into five different colors for refinement.
When the trace of true fire was finished tempering, Yi Tian slowly stopped and led it back to his dantian. The whole process took a long time, and Yi Tian only knew that after the tempering, his whole back was soaked. One had to know that after tempering a trace of true fire, more than half of the spiritual energy in his body was consumed. If he wanted to completely temper the ball of true fire that he cultivated, it would take an unknown amount of time.
However, the benefits were obvious. After being fused with the trace of true fire, the original ball of true fire became slightly brighter. Previously, this would only happen when his level increased.
Looking down at the Purple Heaven Cup in front of him, Yi Tian could not help but smile. This item was definitely a treasure. It was no wonder that the Li Fire Sect's Sect Master was in charge of it. Usually, he would keep it in his dantian to nourish it, and use it when he was free. He believed that it would not take long for the fire lotus lamp to increase by a small level.
Yi Tian turned around and took out the Sundial Luo Geng. When he looked at the record on it, Yi Tian was shocked. There was no sun or moon in the cave, so the tempering of the true fire took him nearly three months. At this rate, it would take at least ten years to temper the ball of true fire in his dantian.
And according to the records in the Mystic Yang True Fire Technique, the true fire could be tempered multiple times. Every time it was tempered, his spiritual energy would become more condensed. If it was tempered to the extreme, the chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would increase by more than 20%.
This gave Yi Tian a fright. He never knew that the Li Fire Sect had such a perverted cultivation technique. It was no wonder they could dominate the Tian Lan continent for thousands of years.
Unfortunately, what he lacked the most was time. He estimated that there was still about a year and a half before the three sects would send people over. He could not possibly cultivate until the last moment before coming out of seclusion.
Thankfully, he still had more than a year to spare. During this period of time, Yi Tian planned to devote all his time to tempering the true fire.
Following that, Yi Tian took out a disk array and struck it with a few spells. The maze array was opened to its maximum, and only then did he feel at ease to begin his tempering plan.
For nearly a year, there was no movement in the cave, until the flash of a messenger crane broke through the night sky of the Forge Mountain Range. This was a special method of communication that Yi Tian had left for Zhang Yitong. After receiving the messenger crane, Yi Tian carefully read the contents. After a moment, he frowned.
The thing that he did not want to face the most had happened. Coincidentally, there were two familiar names on the message. They were Dugu Ao and Yan Zhaoxue.
He had miscalculated this time. He did not expect that a training ground found by a loose cultivator from an aristocratic family would attract the direct disciples of the Demonic Sect and the Cha Nu Sect. Also, the message said that the Immortal Sword Sect sent a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator called Xiang Feibao. He should be a disciple of the Xiang family.
Yi Tian was also puzzled as to why he had such a fate with the Xiang family. It seemed that he did not mind accidentally disappearing from the face of the earth again.
Two-thirds of the information on the message was from Qu Xin. He guessed that she was anxious to find a countermeasure.
After sorting out his emotions, Yi Tian stored the Purple Firmament Cup in his Dantian. Then, he rushed out of the cave and rushed towards the direction of Qing Feng City. When he returned, he would first discuss with Qu Xin how to maximize the benefits this time.
