Although Good Jian City was under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Demon Sect, there were spies of the two sects hidden everywhere. Yi Tian estimated that the news of his appearance at the auction would spread to Heavenly Sword City in less than three days.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to hide anymore. Not to mention, he had been recognized by Yin Jie before, so he might as well accept it openly.
When the auction ended, Yin Jie actually sent a sound transmission to Yi Tian, wanting to have a private conversation with him. Yi Tian could not deny it and nodded in agreement.
After the two agreed on a time and place to meet, they left the hall. Yi Tian still had Hong Luanjing to deal with. Obviously, she had also exchanged for the precious materials she wanted at the auction, so this trip was not in vain.
The two left the hall through the side door and came to the street. After a while, Yi Tian directly said, "Fellow Daoist Hong, I still have some private matters to deal with. Why don't you return to Clear Sun City first? I estimate that I will be three or four days late."
Hong Luanjing smiled and said, "Looking at your appearance, you should be going to see Crimson Flame. I expected that you two already knew each other. He helped you so much at the auction just now, shouldn't you also vote for Li Baoxiao? "
After being pointed out by her, Yi Tian replied without changing his expression, "I do have some matters to deal with. Is Fellow Daoist Hong interested in staying and listening?"
Seeing that Yi Tian had the intention to drive her away, Hong Luanjing was also a cultivator with a high EQ. She directly left behind her identity jade card and hurriedly left.
After bidding farewell to Hong Luanjing, Yi Tian slowly walked to an inn-like shop in the north of the city. He raised his head and looked at the words' through passenger 'written on it. This should be the contact point left by Yin Jie.
When he walked up, a worker immediately came to greet him. When Yi Tian directly said Yin Jie's name, the worker clearly trembled. Then, the shopkeeper of the shop came out and led Yi Tian to the back room.
After passing through several doors, Yi Tian arrived at a courtyard. He heard the shopkeeper say, "Martial Uncle Yin is inside. Honored guest, please help yourself." With that, he quickly left with the servants.
Looking around, this Yin Jie was quite good at choosing a place. Although this place was in Shan Jian City, there were clearly some defensive formations set up around it. If he did not guess wrongly, it should be the contact point of the Immortal Sword Sect.
After all, they couldn't blatantly divide their own territory in the other party's territory, but in private, using their businesses as a cover could be considered as an unspoken rule between the various sects.
Pushing open the door, there was a courtyard with a radius of ten feet. Birds chirped and flowers bloomed everywhere. It was completely out of place with the gloomy tone of the entire Shanjian City.
In the middle of the courtyard was a room with three rooms. The door to the living room was wide open, and there was a table in the main hall with four chairs around it. Yin Jie sat alone with a cup of tea in his hand. Seeing that Yi Tian had arrived, he hastily stood up and respectfully said, "Master Yi is truly a man of his word. Please take a seat."
Although he did not know what Yin Jie was up to, Yi Tian smiled and walked in. He sat down in front of Yin Jie and then replied, "I wonder why Senior Brother Yin is looking for me?"
Yin Jie was not in a hurry to reply. He only extended his hand to pick up the teacup and teapot on the table. He poured a cup and then gestured for the tea to be served. Yi Tian was not courteous. He directly picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp. Immediately, he felt a cool and refreshing Spirit Qi rush into his stomach.
In order to avoid embarrassing himself, he quickly sat down and circulated his Spirit Qi to dissolve the Spirit Qi. After a short while, he discovered that the Spirit Qi in his Dantian had strengthened by a bit.
He did not think that this tea would be effective for Jin Dan cultivators. He could not help but recall the scene of the Chiyang School. After being distracted for a moment, Yi Tian turned around and said, "I wonder why Senior Brother Yin is looking for me so urgently." Without knowing the details, Yi Tian did not believe that the other party was only looking for him to drink tea. There must be some other matter.
Yin Jie smiled and replied, "I am a member of the Immortal Sword Sect's Law Enforcement Hall. This time, I invited Master Yi here because I want to confirm an old matter with you." He then took out a bronze plate and placed it on the table.
Yi Tian did not understand and looked at the other party. Yin Jie continued, "I will only ask three questions. Master Yi, please hold the bronze plate in your hand and answer."
Yi Tian guessed that the function of the bronze plate was like a lie detector. If his answer did not match his heart, the bronze plate would definitely have a reaction.
After thinking for a while, he took it and said to Yin Jie, "Senior Brother Yin, please ask. I will tell you everything I know." Yi Tian guessed that the other party wanted to investigate the cause of Wei Xuanbai's death. After all, he was the successor of the Immortal Sword Sect's core disciple that they had spent a lot of effort to nurture.
For him to die so mysteriously, the sect had to give him an explanation. This way, it was reasonable for them to find Yi Tian.
Yin Jie asked seriously, "About twenty years ago, after the Heaven Sword City's celebration, why did Master Yi leave in such a hurry?"
"I was recommended by Elder Zheng Rutong to go to Mount Fujun to rent a paradise to form my Gold Core." Yi Tian replied without changing his expression.
Yin Jie looked at the bronze plate and nodded. He then asked, "Why did Master Yi not go to Mount Fujun to form his Gold Core?"
"At that time, I was invited by someone to take care of some matters. Later on, there was a sudden change, so I was unable to rush to Mount Fujun."
Yin Jie followed up with another question, "Was Wei Xuanbai killed by Master Yi?"
Hearing this, Yi Tian panicked. It was true that Wei Xuanbai was ambushed by him, but in the end, it was Huo Chilian who finished him off. Strictly speaking, he was at most an accomplice, but he did not know how the bronze plate would react to his answer.
After a pause, Yi Tian replied, "I was present when Wei Xuan Bai died, but the one who killed him was someone else."
Yin Jie stared at the bronze plate for a long time, but did not find anything strange. Then, he smiled at Yi Tian and said, "Master Yi, I have offended you. I have finished asking my questions."
At this moment, Yi Tian pretended to slowly put down the bronze plate. However, cold sweat broke out on his back. If Yin Jie continued to question him, he would most likely reveal some clues.
After a pause, Yin Jie looked at Yi Tian with a faint smile, which made his hair stand. After a while, he said, "Actually, the sect has already locked onto the murderer through the natal spirit lamp that Wei Xuanbai left behind. I believe that Master Yi was present, so you should know the inside story."
To this, Yi Tian nodded. However, in his heart, he thought, 'Huo Chilian, you can't blame me for this. Who asked you to kill him directly?'
Yin Jie dipped his index finger into the tea and wrote the word 'Huo' on the table. Yi Tian pretended to be surprised and looked at it. Then, he sighed.
"Master Yi, you don't have to worry. The sect will not compete with the Weapon Refinement Grandmaster, who is able to fight for the top three positions in the Weapon Refinement Earth Roll, for the sake of a direct disciple with a bright future."
Yi Tian calmed down and said, "I know. He is the Weapon Refinement Grandmaster who has the best chance of defeating Hong Luanjing in the past 100 years. Who knows, the sect might have to rely on him in the future."
"That's right. I have come here to negotiate with him and ease our relationship. As for the sect's arrest warrant, it has long been removed. Wei Xuanbai's sect has also been bribed. They do not dare to go against the higher-ups' wishes, "Yin Jie said casually.
In a large sect, benefits came first. Yi Tian could be considered to have seen through this, but he couldn't avoid it either.
After a moment of silence, Yin Jie smiled and poured Yi Tian another cup of tea. Then, he said, "Actually, Wei Xuanbai's death had a negative impact on the Large Competition between the Immortal Sword Sect and the Heavenly Devil Sect. It even affected some things after that. That's why the higher-ups could not forget about it."
"What kind of impact? I would like to hear the details. "Although Yi Tian knew the results of the competition, he did not know what would happen after that.
Yin Jie straightened his expression and said, "The results of the Foundation Establishment Competition will directly affect the distribution of the Holy Spring."
So this was a bloody case caused by the competition between the two sects. Yi Tian deeply despised the Jin Dan cultivators of the two sects. For the sake of the distribution of the Holy Spring, they let their disciples fight with each other. This time, the Heavenly Devil Sect probably took the majority of the distribution.
However, this matter did not seem to have anything to do with Yi Tian. On the contrary, Yin Jie was quite excited when talking about the distribution of the Holy Spring. Yi Tian did not know what was going on. Following that, he asked, "I wonder what the effects of the Holy Spring are?"
Speaking up to here, Yin Jie's face was full of yearning as he replied, "Every hundred years, the Heavenly Fate Sect will test the cultivators with the most potential in the Western Wasteland. The Holy Spring is in the Temple of Rain, which is guarded by the three sects. Every hundred years, twenty portions of the Holy Spring will be distributed. Aside from the top three of the Earth Leaderboard, the remaining eleven spots will be divided between the three sects. The Cha Nu Sect, Immortal Sword Sect, and Heavenly Devil Sect will have two spots. The remaining five spots will be decided by the results of the Foundation Establishment Competition held every twenty years. "
According to Yin Jie, the two sects held the Foundation Establishment Competition every twenty years for the sake of the remaining five spots. Every hundred years, it was held five times. Of course, every Foundation Establishment cultivator could only participate once. At the same time, it was also a competition between the two sects.
However, when he heard that the two sects would actually fight to the death for the sake of the Holy Spring, it was clear that the Jin Dan cultivators would be able to obtain extraordinary benefits from the Holy Spring.
Yi Tian did not understand the reason behind this, so he bluntly asked, "Senior Yin, I do not know what the Holy Spring is used for."
These words hit the nail on the head. Yin Jie's face revealed a look of fascination as he daydreamed. Only when he heard Yi Tian's light cough did he regain his senses and say, "Master Yi, you may not know, but the Holy Spring in the Temple of Rain is extremely beneficial to the Jin Dan cultivators. Normally, it can help the Jin Dan cultivators cleanse their spiritual energy. Other than that, there are some lucky cultivators who can use this opportunity to raise their Jin Dan."
Hearing this, Yi Tian finally understood the reason. Fortunately, he had the sect's Jin Dan Nine Transformations Technique, which defied the heavens. If he did not rely on his Eighth Level Jin Dan, wanting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage would be no different from wishful thinking.
At the same time, he stealthily sent out a strand of his Divine Sense to look at his Dantian. He saw that the lumpy Jin Dan in the center was still slowly rotating. Moreover, it had already become a bit round. The edges and corners around it had already disappeared.
Now, Yi Tian would stop to cultivate the Jin Dan Nine Transformations Technique whenever he had time. After a few years of continuous cultivation, his Jin Dan had already risen by one level.
If he could obtain the Holy Spring's help, he might be able to greatly increase the speed of his cultivation. The matter of polishing the Jin Dan had always been a sore point for Yi Tian. If it wasn't for the lightning tribulation seal appearing at an untimely time, he would have already become a First Level Jin Dan cultivator.
Since it was like this, he had to fight for it. He then asked with a sincere expression, "I don't know if Senior Yin knows if there is a chance for a sect consecrator like me."
Only then did Yin Jie reply with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Master Yi just realized. This Holy Spring is a great opportunity. Normally, other than those who are heavily nurtured by the sect, one can only rely on fighting for the top three positions on the Earth Leaderboard."
"Then for example, didn't Hong Luanjing already get first place on the Earth Leaderboard? If she gets first place this time, can't she use the Holy Spring again?" Yi Tian asked in confusion.
"Hehe, she has a good plan," Yin Jie coldly snorted, "This was originally reserved for the top three positions on the Earth Leaderboard. It's a pity that the Holy Spring is only useful once. After she gets the Earth Leaderboard, she will bring the Holy Spring back to the sect for her fellow disciples to use."
No wonder Hong Luanjing was so enthusiastic about helping Yan Zhaoxue refine the pill furnace. In the end, it was all for the sake of fighting for the Holy Spring. Even if she gave it to a fellow sect member, she would have earned a great favor. This opportunity could not be measured with Spirit Stones.
