In the southwest corner of Pushan Square, there was an inconspicuous blacksmithing workshop with a plaque at the door.
The words written on it were fair and honest. The quality was divided into eight small characters on both sides with the three large characters in the middle: Juxing Manor.
Although it was just an ordinary wooden plaque, the person who came to install it today was the servant of the Pu Clan, the actual owner of Pushan Square.
Early in the morning, the people in the surrounding shops came out to see the excitement.
It was said that the Pu Clan's young master, Pu Siyuan, also came today and specially came to preside over the reopening ceremony of Juxing Manor.
Today, the head shopkeeper of Juxing Manor, Duan Yugang, was wearing a red robe and standing under the plaque with Pu Siyuan with a happy expression.
At this time, a servant announced that the auspicious time had arrived and the ceremony began.
Pu Siyuan and Duan Yugang removed the red cloth on both sides of the door and a red couplet with gilded words was revealed.
The onlookers only saw the words on the couplet:
Business flourishes and reaches the East Sea
Wealth rolls in and reaches the Qing River
After receiving everyone's congratulations, Duan Yugang invited the guests into the shop to drink tea and announced that Juxing Manor's business today would be 20% off.
Hearing this, the onlookers couldn't help but walk into Juxing Manor to pick out spirit tools.
However, they were only low-level cultivators who wanted to buy a spirit tool to keep up appearances. How could they be like Yi Tian, who fought bare-handed and relied on magic techniques to fight?
Duan Yugang also told Yi Tian that as long as Yi Tian fancied a spirit tool in the shop, he could directly take it and give it to him for free.
To be honest, Yi Tian didn't care about these things, but in order not to hurt Duan Yugang's self-esteem, he casually chose a short knife.
During the trip to the Black Pool Swamp, Yi Tian, Pu Siyuan, and Duan Yugang joined forces to kill the Lonely Mountain Twin Demons.
Tian Fei died at Yi Tian's hands and Tian Meng was pierced in the shoulder by Pu Siyuan's flying sword. If he hadn't escaped quickly, he would have died on the spot.
However, after the fight, Pu Siyuan's spirit power was exhausted and Duan Yugang fainted from the backlash.
In the end, Yi Tian had to carry both of them back to the bullock cart.
When the Pu Family's coachman saw the four people going in and the three people coming out in such a state, he was also scared. On the return journey, he desperately rushed back.
Originally, the journey would have taken two hours, but the coachman only took half an hour to rush back. After returning to Pu Shan Square, Barbarian Bull was exhausted to death.
She thought that the boss would be furious, but she didn't expect that the housekeeper would give her a spirit stone as a reward.
Pu Siyuan was still fine. As soon as he returned home, there were people waiting on him. He immediately consumed a large amount of spirit stones and top-grade medicinal pills. After two or three days, he was full of energy again.
Duan Yugang's situation was rather special. Firstly, he had exhausted his spiritual energy. Secondly, his spiritual artifact had been destroyed, and he had injured himself.
Fortunately, Yi Tian sent him to Deren Hall and found an alchemist to diagnose him.
In the end, he had to fork out 30 spirit stones to buy a Spirit Nurturing Pill to keep his cultivation level at the fourth level of Qi Refinement.
When Duan Yugang woke up and heard what had happened, he insisted on inviting Yi Tian to Juxing Manor. Later, when he heard that Yi Tian was still living in the woodshed, he asked Yi Tian to live in Juxing Manor.
In fact, Yi Tian just wanted to find a quiet place to cultivate. As for the woodshed or the guest room, it didn't matter.
Moreover, this time, he also took back Tian Fei's storage bag, ghost head blade, and body armor. Yi Tian took advantage of these few days to check his loot.
Tian Fei's storage bag was about two feet long and was filled with the things he robbed.
However, after Yi Tian sorted it out, he found that the most valuable things were the spirit stones. Most of the other things were trash.
Moreover, there were more than a dozen broken artifacts. However, there was a map of the Dong River Country, which was recorded in detail.
When he took it out and compared it with the one he got from the pawnshop, he found that many mountains, rivers, and even small villages were marked in detail.
It seemed that this guy had been to many places and robbed everywhere he went. This kind of person was still living the life of a thief.
The most valuable thing was a wine recipe called Heroic Spirit. This was a good sign for Yi Tian. He was worried that he had no way to earn money, and now there was a way to do it.
After looking at the wine recipe, he found that this wine was not easy to mix. Just the ingredients were not cheap. The key was that the head of the wine was actually the original juice of the monkey wine.
This monkey wine was brewed by the Golden Silk Spiritual Ape. Moreover, this kind of spirit beast usually lived in groups. Although it was only a second level spirit beast, when more than a hundred of them lived in groups, even a ninth level Qi Refinement cultivator would have to take a detour.
Unless it was a Foundation Establishment expert, he would have to put this matter aside for now.
From Tian Fei's storage bag, he found nearly a hundred spirit stones. This kind of wealth was enough for Yi Tian to cultivate in peace for a few years.
Now that he was living in Juxing Village and was very familiar with Duan Yugang, he decided to settle down first since Duan Yugang didn't say anything about him freeloading.
In the entire Juxing Village, there were only Duan Yugang and Yi Tian. Originally, there was also Xue Zhong, but this time, Xue Zhong's betrayal made Duan Yugang very sad for a while.
According to the neighbors, the two of them used to be good brothers. Xue Zhong often helped Duan Yugang. Later, Duan Yugang learned the family's refining technique and helped Xue Zhong in everything.
Although he knew what kind of person Xue Zhong was, he had received kindness when he was young and knew how to repay it.
However, it seemed that Duan Yugang was still very principled. Otherwise, he would have betrayed him at that time.
As for his family's refining technique, Yi Tian was very interested in borrowing it to take a look. At that time, Duan Yugang was still the main force in the fight against Tian Fei. He just took advantage of it.
When Duan Yugang was recuperating, Pu Siyuan also came a few times. One time, he came to return the cost of the mission.
He gave Duan Yugang ten Spirit Stones and Yi Tian six, saying that it was according to the reward of the mission.
This time, the reopening of Juxing Village was Pu Siyuan's idea. He wanted to use the Pu Family's power here to support his savior.
That night, in the back hall of Juxing Village, Yi Tian and Duan Yugang sat face to face. On the table was the bag of Spirit Stones that Pu Siyuan sent today.
There was a total of 500 Spirit Stones inside, which was the same as the Lonely Mountain Duo's reward for Pu Siyuan.
The Pu Family couldn't afford to lose face. If word got out, they would be ridiculed.
Tonight, the two of them were discussing the distribution of these Spirit Stones. At first, Duan Yugang insisted that they each take half.
However, Yi Tian was afraid of being called two idiots and immediately rejected the proposal.
Yi Tian meant that in this fierce battle, Duan Yugang had taken all the main attacks. Moreover, he had also placed the beast trap, so Duan Yugang should take the bigger share.
However, Duan Yugang was grateful that Yi Tian had carried him back and also paid 30 Spirit Stones to buy an Essence Cultivating Pill to preserve his cultivation. He suggested that Yi Tian should take the bigger share.
Yi Tian intended to learn Duan Yugang's family's crafting technique. In the end, both sides agreed to use Duan Yugang's suggestion.
Yi Tian used 100 Spirit Stones to exchange for Duan Yugang's family's crafting technique.
Everyone finally reached an agreement that after Yi Tian learned it, he would not open another crafting shop in Pushan Square.
Duan Yugang took out the crafting technique and gave it to Yi Tian to make a copy. However, Yi Tian didn't even know how to make a copy, so he had to ask Duan Yugang for help.
When Yi Tian was free, he remembered that he had mentioned to Pu Siyuan that he wanted to test his Spirit Root. He still had some questions to ask.
Pu Siyuan said on the spot that he could take the test in his Deren Hall. It turned out that it was a test for the alchemists in the hall to accept disciples. As long as Yi Tian was free, he could give him a test for free.
As for Yi Tian, if he had any questions about cultivation, he could ask him directly. If he couldn't answer, he could ask Pu Siyuan's Second Uncle, Pu Shangen. His Second Uncle originally did this business in the square.
Yi Tian remembered that when he had just entered the square, the guard had mentioned this. However, at that time, he had said that he needed Spirit Stones. Now, he could ask for free.
Now that he was eating from the rich and using the rich, he should take advantage of this free opportunity to solve everything quickly.
The boss behind Deren Hall was Pushan Dao, but the actual person in charge was Pu Siyuan.
When Yi Tian came here for the third time, the servants were still very polite. Their Young Master was carried back by this person, so they had to give the Young Master some face.
The alchemist in the hall was still the same as before. From time to time, he would ask Yi Tian if he had taken Fasting Pills on time recently.
Fortunately, Yi Tian had also learned how to maintain his composure. No matter what, he had already eaten it with a single sentence.
After waiting in the hall for nearly half an hour, he saw Pu Siyuan arrive late. Yi Tian was not annoyed. In any case, he had a request, so no matter what, he had to endure it.
When he arrived at the back hall, Pu Siyuan took out the Spirit Root Plate and put a Spirit Stone in it. Then, he told Yi Tian to put his hand in the center of the plate.
After doing so, he put his hand in the center of the Spirit Root Plate. He saw a gas coming out of his hand and attached to the Five Colored Spirit Bead below.
Yi Tian's test result was that the red Spirit Bead had the darkest color, followed by cyan, and finally yellow. The blue and white Spirit Beads basically did not change.
After Pu Siyuan saw it, he was overjoyed and repeatedly congratulated Yi Tian, making Yi Tian confused.
It turned out that Yi Tian had Wood, Fire, and Earth Spirit Roots. Among them, the Fire Spirit Root was the strongest, reaching 50%. The Wood Spirit Root was 30%, and the Earth Spirit Root was 20%. He did not have a Metal Spirit Root or a Water Spirit Root.
With this kind of aptitude, even if placed in a large sect, he could be considered a person who had the opportunity to enter Foundation Establishment and look at Jin Dan.
As long as he entered Foundation Establishment before the age of 30, then he would have hope for Jin Dan. Even if he entered Foundation Establishment after the age of 30, he could still live for two hundred years. Passing down a cultivation family was a matter of certainty.
After Yi Tian heard this, his heart burned. No wonder he had to use Qi Drawing Powder to cultivate the Yi Wood Spirit Art, but it was easy for him to cultivate the Fire Spirit Art.
Then he asked some questions about cultivation, and Pu Siyuan also answered them one by one. The most embarrassing thing for Yi Tian was that he asked how to copy the spirit art, which made Pu Siyuan look at him like he was looking at an idiot.
It turned out that when a cultivator cultivated to the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage, they would be able to release their Divine Sense, just like how Yi Tian could see his Dantian. However, they could copy the contents of their Divine Sense onto spirit stones.
Ordinary spirit arts could not be stored on ordinary paper, because paper could not withstand the pressure of the spirit art, but using spirit stones was completely no problem.
As for how to store the spirit art after cultivating to a high level, Pu Siyuan did not know.
Yi Tian also asked Pu Siyuan how to improve his cultivation, but the answer he received was that he did not know whether to laugh or cry. Either he kept meditating and cultivating, and dripping water could penetrate a stone.
Or he could go and fight with people or kill spirit beasts, so that he could break through in battle. These were exactly what Yi Tian had been doing or preparing to do.
The last one was to find a sect that was suitable for him, because large sects controlled most of the resources in the cultivation world.
As an itinerant cultivator, he usually did not have the chance to cultivate to a high level. Another very important problem was that cultivators often needed a master to teach them.
The road ahead of the boundless Great Dao was filled with confusion. Without anyone to lead the way, there were many people who ended up wasting their lives by randomly cultivating. This scared Yi Tian to the point that he was flustered.
After that, Yi Tian also asked how to get close to a sect, and Pu Siyuan told Yi Tian that it was not a secret.
Every five years, the large sects would recruit a group of children with spirit roots and some cultivators with good qualifications and potential.
As long as the children with spirit roots did not have half of the five spirit roots, they would basically be recruited, but they could not be older than ten years old.
For a cultivator like Yi Tian who had potential, as long as he cultivated to the fifth level of Qi Refining before the age of twenty, he would be able to join.
If he also knew some auxiliary skills, the large sects would be more pleased.
The Pu family's ancestor, Pu Shandao, was from the Xuanling Sect. This was originally a sect's property, and Pu Shandao was just helping the sect manage it.
