Every hundred years, the Temple of Rain's three lists would be released, and it was a rare occasion in the West Desolation. During this entire year, not only would the markets around the Temple of Rain hold celebrations, even the main cities of the three sects of the West Desolation would hold corresponding events.
Of course, the main event would be when the Temple of Rain's cheat list was released. At that time, the three sects and many rogue cultivators would gather at that place to enjoy the prosperity.
The Heaven Sword City's activities this year included a few Foundation Establishment pill refining competitions, as well as a few high level auctions.
Other than the Yuanying Cultivators' private gatherings, the Jin Dan Cultivators' gathering led by the City Lord was also a heavyweight exchange in the Heaven Sword City. The participants were basically limited to the Jin Dan Cultivators who had been famous for a long time, as well as the newly advanced Jin Dan Cultivators.
The Heaven Sword City's City Lord's Mansion was currently holding a Foundation Establishment Refining Competition, and the person sitting on the judging panel was the number one Inner Sect Refiner, Xing Lin. At this moment, he was receiving compliments from the people around him, and his face was filled with pride. But if one looked closely, they would realize that his smile was forced, and it was completely just for show.
The City Lord congratulated him from the side: "Junior Brother Xing is truly young and promising, as expected of the number one Immortal Sword Sect Refiner. This year, the Level 5 Sword Pill that you refined at the West Peak Mountain triggered a lightning tribulation that was truly spectacular. Such a treasure made this old man have the urge to buy it. "
If it was any other time, Xing Lin would have cared about these compliments, but now, it sounded like a slap to his face. The people in the Heaven Sword City only had a rough understanding of the situation at the West Peak Mountain, but how could he not know about the good things that the First Earth Room's Refiner, Yi Tian, had done?
It was said that this person used less than five years to refine a Level 6 Spirit Tool, and its grade had already surpassed the basic level. According to the elder Sun Deqing's description, when the Spirit Tool first appeared, it was the Yuanying Ancestor, Bei Ming Kong Jing, who personally helped to pass the tribulation.
After the Artifact Tribulation, the spiritual tool was directly taken by Situ Ruiyu, an early Yuanying cultivator of the inner sect, as her natal magic treasure.
In the entire West Peak Mountain, everyone who had witnessed the baptism of that violent lightning was full of praise for that spiritual artifact. That metal-attributed lightning had shaved off the entire North Peak of the West Peak Mountain by five inches. If it wasn't for Bei Ming Kong Jing's order to keep it a secret, this matter would have already become a hot topic.
But paper can't hide fire. There would always be some gossip that leaked out, but it was limited to the information leaked by those on the periphery. As for the specific situation of that spiritual weapon, apart from a few people involved, even Sun Deqing knew very little about it.
He had even sent a letter to Yi Tian about his qualifications as a judge for this year's Heavenly Sword City's Grandmaster Artifact Refining Competition. If it weren't for his repeated rejections, Xing Lin wouldn't have gotten the chance.
No matter how Xing Lin looked at it, he felt like he was picking up leftovers. However, in order to protect the reputation of his sect, he had no choice but to accept it.
At the same time, Yi Tian was leisurely strolling around Heavenly Sword City by himself. He wasn't interested in these kinds of things in the first place, so he took this opportunity to go to the city and buy some things.
In the past few years on West Peak Mountain, Yi Tian had combined his previous experiences. The Geng Metal Sword Case that he had refined could indeed be considered his masterpiece in recent years.
Although the item had been given to Bei Ming Kong Jing in the end, he had also gained a lot. The most direct method was to use the Purple Heaven Lamp to strengthen nearly 30% of the natal true fire in his Dan Tian.
Now, the Xuanyang True Fire in his Dan Tian was becoming brighter and brighter, and its color had changed. There was a hint of purple in the golden flames.
During this period of seclusion, Yi Tian spent most of his time on his own cultivation. As for refining artifacts, that was just a side effect.
This time, he returned to Heavenly Sword City to thoroughly investigate the situation of the Wutong Tree. Previously, the guard in the City Lord's warehouse had suggested that he read the sect's ancient books in the City Lord's Mansion. He didn't have time before, but he was quite free now.
After Yin Jie's mission was completed, he was called back to receive guests from the Central Continent's Heavenly Cloud Sect. Originally, they could have gone together to show their faces, but Yi Tian used some private matters as an excuse to decline.
Entering the City Lord's Mansion's Scripture Depository, it was considered a forbidden area of the sect. Normally, only the Immortal Sword Sect's inner sect disciples could enter to read the ancient books.
Yi Tian had obtained Yin Jie's order to enter. Furthermore, the ancient books that he could read were limited to the records of the large sects in the Western Wilderness, the ancient cultivators' handwritten notes and some alchemy books.
Since he had never thought of studying sword techniques, the authority that Yin Jie had given him was sufficient. Yi Tian picked out a few books from the Alchemy Division and the Travelogue Book. Firstly, he wanted to find a detailed description of the Wutong Tree. Secondly, he wanted to understand the history of the Western Wilderness.
According to the Wise King Holy Son, Qin Mingyue, the Li Fire Sect had been the overlord of this world for thousands of years. There was no reason for them to not leave something behind in the continent to benefit their descendants.
He believed that the remnants of the Li Fire Sect in the Central Continent would also set their sights on these treasures. As a direct descendant of the Li Fire Sect, he had no reason to ignore them.
Using his divine sense to scan through the alchemy books one by one, he did not find any description of the withered branch. Even in some of the more obscure ancient books, there were no suitable records of it.
Three hours later, Yi Tian finally gave up on reading the books on spirit plants. The Wutong Tree in his hand could not be used to refine weapons, so after some careful thought, he decided to put it aside for the time being.
Following that, he picked up a book called 'Western Wilderness Broadening Horizons' and began to read. It recorded the adventures of the previous generations of cultivators in the Western Wilderness.
On the last page of the book, there was a map. Yi Tian flipped through it with interest. On it was marked nearly 60% of the Western Wilderness.
Even the Fused Mountain Range, where he was in seclusion, could be found on it. This was the most complete map that Yi Tian had seen since he came to the Western Wilderness.
It just so happened that he found half a map in Xiang Yang's storage bracelet. The areas marked on it could not be found on this map.
This made Yi Tian excited. He felt that this thing had a great origin, and it was indeed extraordinary. After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly took out a jade slip and copied the map for future use.
After spending a quarter of an hour copying the map, Yi Tian began to slowly read the 'Western Wilderness Broadening Horizons' book. Suddenly, he heard two people walking towards him. Just as his mind was being disturbed, he did not expect the two people to come closer. In a moment, they came to Yi Tian's location.
Suddenly, he heard one of them say, "I'll look through the ancient books myself. Fellow Daoist, please wait outside."
The other person politely replied, "It's fine. You can do as you wish. I won't disturb you." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The former's voice sounded a little familiar to Yi Tian. He raised his head and saw that it was Xiao Linhang from the Heavenly Fortune Sect.
Yi Tian was stunned to see them here. He then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, how have you been?"
Xiao Linhang smiled proudly at Yi Tian and then replied, "I finally found you."
Hearing this, Yi Tian was stunned at first, but then he felt relieved. The successors of the Heavenly Fortune Sect all had the ability to divine the future. Where they could find who should be in the future should be part of their plan.
Seeing Xiao Linhang like this, it seemed that he had specially come to find him. It just so happened that he had not seen him for many years, and he had a lot to say in his heart.
Seeing that this was not the place to talk, Yi Tian immediately sent a voice transmission to Xiao Linhang. The latter nodded knowingly. After a while, the two walked out of the Heavenly Sword City's Scripture Pavilion.
Then, Yi Tian led the way while Xiao Linhang silently followed the two of them on the street, maintaining a distance of 50 feet. Not long after arriving in North City, Yi Tian directly flashed into a courtyard. Xiao Linhang's Divine Sense locked onto him and quietly followed him in.
This was the place that Yin Jie had found for Yi Tian. The entire house was not big, but the foundation of this house was built on top of a spirit vein. In the inner courtyard of the house, there was a deep well that went straight to the spirit vein. It was originally built to be relatively large, but it was also used as a cover.
After entering the room, Yi Tian reached out and fetched a bucket of deep well water. He took out two cups and filled them to the brim. Then, he gestured for Xiao Linhang to sit down and chat.
It had been nearly 40 to 50 years since he left Dong Ao. As the saying goes, it's hard to part with one's homeland. Sometimes, Yi Tian would still recall the situation when he was in the sect.
He knew that the disciples of the Heavenly Fortune Sect would often go to Dong Ao to gain experience. This time, he could ask him about the situation.
Before he could speak, Xiao Linhang asked first, "Brother Yi, I've been looking for you for a long time. How did you end up in the Western Wilderness in the past few decades?"
"It's a long story. Back then, I was chased by Yin Lixing. I accidentally activated the teleportation array of the Bright King Road and was directly teleported to the Western Wilderness," Yi Tian replied.
"So that's how it is. Brother Yi, your cultivation hasn't fallen behind. It seems that I've already touched the bottleneck of the middle stage of Jin Dan, right?"
Speaking of this, Yi Tian also carefully looked at Xiao Linhang. He saw that from time to time, his body was also leaking some Jin Dan spiritual pressure. It was obvious that he had just formed his Gold Core not long ago.
After a pause, he smiled and said, "Your cultivation hasn't fallen behind either."
"I'm not as good as you, Brother Yi. I've only formed my Gold Core for less than 10 years and I'm already moving around," Xiao Linhang said helplessly.
Yi Tian also frowned and asked, "You can consolidate your cultivation in the sect before coming out. There's no need to come to the Western Wilderness at all."
"Isn't it because of you? If it weren't for your disappearance, I wouldn't have wasted more than 10 years in Dong Ao, "Xiao Linhang said gloomily.
"Because of me?" Yi Tian felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words. He asked, "Isn't your Heavenly Fortune Sect proficient in divination? Isn't it easy to find my whereabouts? Besides, why is it because of me? "
Xiao Linhang took a sip of water, then sighed and said, "Brother Yi, before that, I want to confirm something first."
"Please go ahead. I'll tell you everything I know."
"That Fire Lotus Sword was refined by you, right? I went to Chiyang School to see Qu Yifeng. He was very tight-lipped and didn't reveal anything," Xiao Linhang said with a serious face.
"I was the one who refined it. Back then, I had originally refined it for myself. Unfortunately, in the end, it still ended up benefiting that kid." After that, Yi Tian explained the entire situation in detail.
It took him a full quarter of an hour to explain the cause and effect of the matter. Xiao Linhang's eyes lit up when he heard it. After Yi Tian finished speaking, he continued, "That's right. You probably don't know what the Fire Lotus Sword means, right?"
Yi Tian shook his head in confusion as he looked at the other party. He heard Xiao Linhang briefly repeat what his grandmaster, Tian Jizi, said years ago.
Yi Tian was also stunned when he heard it, especially when it was mentioned that the Li Fire Ten Soldiers would appear one after another. Yi Tian said directly, "The Lesser Five Elements Sword Array has already appeared. Next is probably the Taiyuan Saber, but these are all refined by Huo Chilian."
Xiao Linhang nodded and said, "That's right. I didn't say that the Li Fire Ten Soldiers were all refined by you, but the Fire Lotus Sword is indeed a symbol of the Li Fire Sect's rise."
