De Xing Restaurant was a restaurant opened by the Pu family in Pu Shan Square. It was their own property.
It was specially used to entertain high-level cultivators passing by. Even Pu Siyuan himself had to reserve a seat.
In a private room on the second floor, Yi Tian, Pu Siyuan, and Cai Wenbin took their seats. On the table were the signature dishes of De Xing Restaurant: Four Treasures Sauce, White Cut Phoenix Chicken, Steamed Bull Kick, and Skinned Little Red Clam.
The four dishes were all cooked with spirit beast meat. Yi Tian put the food in his mouth and felt that it was fresh, fragrant, and smooth.
After chewing and swallowing, the food was converted into spiritual energy in his stomach, slowly nourishing his internal organs. Finally, it gathered into spiritual power and slowly gathered in his dantian after running a cycle.
Cai Wenbin, who was on the side, was not polite. He ate the food and drank a big bowl of wine. Looking back at Pu Siyuan, his face was ruddy and he was in good spirits.
Although his eyebrows were still a little wrinkled, his whole mental appearance was completely different from a month ago.
The Pu family's housekeeper was pouring wine for the three people sitting at the table. Seeing that the young master looked good today, he was happy and urged the waiter in the restaurant to bring a few more jars of wine.
He remembered that the young master had been depressed since his wife's funeral. After returning home that night, he locked himself in his room and didn't eat for a few days. Every day, he only knew how to ask the maids to bring wine and food.
When the news reached the ancestral house, the First Master personally took care of it. In the end, Pu Siyuan was arrested and locked up in the ancestral house for more than 20 days.
After Pu Siyuan was released, the housekeeper found that his young master seemed to have changed.
Not only did he seize the time to start cultivating, but he also seemed to have more spiritual energy.
He would pay more attention to everything he did. Now, the business of Deren Hall was personally overseen by the First Master.
Seeing that the young master was full of vitality every day, even the housekeeper was happy for him.
Yi Tian only ate one fasting pill in Juxing Square this month and then seized the time to cultivate.
Under the constant cultivation of fire control, he found that his cultivation still hadn't broken through to the third level of Qi Refining. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
He couldn't find Pu Siyuan to ask for advice, not to mention Cai Wenbin, who had been living in the Pu family's courtyard.
Yi Tian couldn't even enter the door. He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only follow Duan Yugang and learn how to smelt ores. He stayed in front of the furnace for half a month.
However, all this time was not wasted. Yi Tian had almost mastered the basics of mineral extraction.
Moreover, Duan Yugang was also willing to teach. In his free time, he discussed his experience with Yi Tian in detail.
In the beginning, when Yi Tian was smelting the copper concentrate, the whole ore was full of holes. He only needed to hit it twice with a hammer to crack the embryo.
According to Duan Yugang, too many impurities were left in the embryo due to the lack of maturity. Therefore, the copper essence was not pure enough to withstand the beating.
After many calcinations, Yi Tian was finally able to forge a piece of Copper Essence Embryo after five days. Fortunately, the forging this time was considered a success.
Duan Yugang began to teach Yi Tian step by step how to forge a weapon. Generally, the first weapon that a Weapon Refiner would forge would be a short sword. It was not that simple.
Yi Tian was no exception. After repeated hammering and shaping, the first finished product appeared in his hands that day.
When Duan Yugang received the short sword, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth. How could this be considered a short sword? It was obviously a fire stick.
He turned around and scolded Yi Tian. The latter didn't care and kept saying that it was just a different aesthetic concept.
Besides, wasn't it a success? But in Duan Yugang's eyes, it was still considered a success.
Looking at this sword, oh, this stick, it was not round or flat. It was oval-shaped and couldn't be grooved. In the end, he gave it to Yi Tian and let him handle it himself.
After forging, the second step was enchantment. Generally, a carving knife was used to carve the required inscriptions on the weapon before it was softened.
Although Duan Yugang only knew a few basic inscriptions, sharpness, stability, and speed, these three inscriptions were enough to support the business of Juxing Village.
After teaching Yi Tian the whole process, Duan Yugang didn't care anymore. In any case, let Yi Tian do whatever he wanted. As long as he didn't tear down the workshop, it was fine.
Looking at the stick sword, Yi Tian felt a chill in his heart. If he couldn't make a groove, then the sharpness inscription was useless. He didn't know how to choose the remaining two.
In the end, he slapped his head and decided to use both. In any case, it was just a practice piece.
Looking at the hardened stick sword, it was too troublesome to reforge it.
Yi Tian simply followed the instructions of the True Refining Manual. A bright flame sprang out from his right hand. After gathering the flame into the size of an embroidery needle, he carved the stability inscription on one side of the stick and the speed inscription on the other side.
In the end, he gave it a try and felt that it was quite smooth. In the end, he insisted on selling his first work in Juxing Village.
Duan Yugang couldn't persuade Yi Tian, so he put the stick sword at the top of the shelf and sold it for 50 spirit stones. In any case, no one would take a fancy to it. He just needed to raise the price and make Yi Tian happy.
After that, Yi Tian began to stay in his room and cultivate. It wasn't until Butler Pu came to deliver an invitation that Yi Tian had to go out.
After receiving the invitation, Yi Tian opened it and found out that Pu Siyuan had come home.
Tonight, he had booked a private room on the second floor of Dexing Restaurant. He wanted to invite Yi Tian to come as a reward for his help last time.
Yi Tian didn't argue and directly replied to the butler, saying that he would be there on time.
In the afternoon, before he left, he asked Duan Yugang how to get to Dexing Restaurant. In the end, Old Duan repeatedly asked him to bring back a jar of wine from Dexing Restaurant if it was convenient. Yi Tian also agreed.
In the private room of Dexing Restaurant, Pu Siyuan was toasting to Yi Tian to thank him for helping to settle this matter.
Secondly, it was to send Senior Brother Cai Wenbin off. After this matter, Senior Brother would return to Xuan Ling Sect. He wanted to take this opportunity to chat more.
Pu Siyuan was also an outer sect disciple of Xuan Ling Sect and also needed to return to the sect soon.
After drinking a few cups, everyone gradually became more talkative. The magic artifact Pu Siyuan took out last time, the Mara Handkerchief, was to Yi Tian's liking.
This thing was good at hiding its tracks. If he could get his hands on a blacksmithing diagram, it would be helpful to him.
After listening to Yi Tian's thoughts, Pu Siyuan looked at Yi Tian and helplessly explained, "That magic artifact is my aunt's personal item. It's not possible to borrow it again."
Then, he advised Yi Tian to practice alchemy. In the cultivation world, alchemy was a very respected profession.
Once one became a level-four alchemy master or above, even Patriarch Jin Dan would easily come to ask for help.
Yi Tian's energy was limited. Although he was very envious of those alchemy masters' remuneration and income, he had chosen the path of alchemy.
But now, he had chosen the path of refining, and his method of controlling fire by concentrating his mind into one was quite effective.
He also felt that he had a knack for engraving and was really unwilling to give up now.
After thanking Pu Siyuan, Yi Tian made it clear that he wanted to start from crafting. If Pu Siyuan had any good fire controlling techniques or high-level inscription diagrams, he could directly sell them to Yi Tian.
Pu Siyuan did not have any inscription diagrams, and his fire controlling techniques were all for alchemy.
Moreover, he had a master that could not be easily passed down. Yi Tian was a little depressed, but there was nothing he could do.
After Cai Wenbin, who was sitting at the side, heard the conversation between the two, he smiled elegantly. He took out a storage bag and gave it to Yi Tian. He said that he got it from Qian Mingjun last time.
It turned out that Qian Mingjun was an outer disciple of the White Bone Gate. There were more than 500 spirit stones in the storage bag. It seemed that it was the money used to hire someone to kill him.
Now that he was dead, the money naturally belonged to Cai Wenbin.
However, seeing that Yi Tian had also helped a lot, he should at least get some soup. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for his junior brother.
However, the two of them split it equally, 250 each. Cai Wenbin was also unhappy. He was also someone who lacked spirit stones. Now that he heard that Yi Tian had a request, it was fine.
Yi Tian was wondering if he should accept these spirit stones. Could it be that he really could not escape the 250 spirit stones?
After thinking for a while, Cai Wenbin saw that Yi Tian was waiting for him to speak. Thus, he mentioned that he could get two inscription diagrams for Yi Tian, but he did not have any fire controlling techniques.
Yi Tian immediately agreed to use spirit stones to exchange for diagrams.
Cai Wenbin also readily agreed. In the end, he felt that it was a little unkind of him to do this.
These inscription diagrams were found in Qian Mingjun's storage bag. If he did this, it would be bad for his junior brother's face.
In the end, the two of them settled on a price of 100 spirit stones each. Cai Wenbin gave Yi Tian two inscription diagrams and 50 spirit stones. Everyone was happy.
However, they had to wait a few days. When Cai Wenbin returned to the sect, he would find someone to send them over.
In fact, he did not know how to refine tools. He would copy these two inscription diagrams when he returned.
He would keep a copy for himself and give it to a junior sister who refined tools in the future. Both sides would owe each other a favor.
The three of them drank happily and talked more. Yi Tian told them that he wanted to enter a sect in two years during the selection of the three sects. However, he did not know about the situation of the other two sects except for Xuan Ling Sect.
Cai Wenbin was more familiar with this matter, so he explained it to Yi Tian.
The three of them were in Dongjiang Country, which belonged to Eastern Pride. The hinterland of Tianlan Continent was Zhongzhou. There were as many cultivation sects as there were hairs on a cow, but there were also many conflicts.
There were also three sects and five sects in Nanjiang. Their relationship was very complicated. As for the west and north, he was not sure.
There were five sects and one sect in Eastern Pride. They were Xuan Ling Sect, Iron Sword Gate, and Chiyang School in the south. They were located in Spirit Jade Mountain, Skyscraper Cliff, and Red Flame Hills.
White Bone Gate, Yin Corpse Sect, and Qihuang Sect in the north. They were in Chillywind Valley, Hundred Ghosts Burial, and Medicine Valley.
Because the east was facing the sea, they had to constantly guard against the sea race's invasion. Thus, the five sects and one sect maintained harmony on the surface. They did not invade each other to prevent the sea race from taking advantage of them.
However, there were constant conflicts in the dark. Fortunately, they were restrained and did not go overboard on the surface.
As for the number of Yuanying Patriarchs in each sect, he did not know. However, there were two patriarchs in Xuan Ling Sect.
After saying that, he still had a look of yearning on his face. Yi Tian didn't think too much about it.
Yuanying was still too far away for him. Spirit stones were the most practical thing right now.
The three sects in two years' time were Xuan Ling Sect, Iron Sword Gate, and Chiyang School in the south. Xuan Ling Sect would definitely accept someone like Yi Tian who had reached the fifth stage before the age of 20.
It was better than Iron Sword Gate. Entering the sect not only depended on one's aptitude, but also on one's combat awareness.
The scariest thing was Chiyang School. They would accept anyone. After returning, they would have to stay in the Ice Soul Cave for a few months. Only after enduring it could they become an outer sect disciple.
If they could not endure it, they could only become a servant disciple. This treatment was very different from the other two sects.
