Chiyang School also had a market in the sect, and it was much bigger than the Pushan Market.
However, it was only open to the sect's disciples, so everyone in the sect called it the Scarlet Sun Market.
The Pill Hall and the Weapon Hall also had stores here, but those who could afford to go in were all rich. There was no other reason than that this place only accepted sect contribution points.
On the other hand, some small shops in the surrounding area would sometimes accept spirit stones.
However, at least half of every transaction had to be paid with contribution points.
This was because the rent had to be paid to the sect with contribution points.
The famous teahouse in the Scarlet Sun Market was called the Rain Pavilion. This place was most famous for the hairy leaf needles produced by Chiyang School.
It was not easy to go in and have a cup of tea. Generally, one had to pay a seat fee of one contribution point.
Each cup of spiritual tea cost five spirit stones. Ordinary disciples did not have the time to spend here.
Moreover, the elegant room here cost five more sect contribution points. Even so, it was still overcrowded. Many times, it had to be reserved.
The hairy leaf needles were spiritual tea, and only a few catties were produced in a year.
The good tea leaves were distributed to the Jin Dan cultivators in the upper echelons of the sect. Only the Foundation Establishment cultivators could get some second-grade tea leaves.
When it was their turn, the third-grade tea leaves would be sold in the Rain Pavilion. The shopkeeper would also sell the third-grade tea leaves to the elegant room for consumption.
Looking at the cup of spiritual tea on the table, which was already a little warm, Yi Tian drank it in one gulp and chewed the tea leaves.
The spiritual energy flowed down his throat and into his stomach. His body circulated the spiritual energy and refined it.
After putting down the teacup, Yi Tian said, "Good tea. Give me another pot." Ning Yuxuan's face was twitching, and Gao Shou was holding back a smirk.
Today was the day Yi Tian handed in the task. Ning Yuxuan had already calculated the time and waited in the hall of the Weapon Hall. When Yi Tian came out, he would communicate with him.
However, after waiting for a long time, Yi Tian came out. After asking, he found out that it was Yi Tian's first time refining and that he did not know the rules.
The task was completed, but the refining room was in a mess. In the end, the managing disciple asked for two spirit stones as a cleaning fee.
Yi Tian refused. Finally, under the persuasion of others, Yi Tian had no choice but to hand it over indignantly.
After leaving the Artifact Hall, Ning Yuxuan hurriedly pulled Yi Tian to the Rain Appreciating Pavilion, saying that he had already booked a private room.
On the way, they bumped into Gao Shou, who was returning to hand in the mission, so the three of them went to drink tea together.
In the elegant room of the Rain Admiring Pavilion, Yi Tian recounted his experience, but it didn't draw any sympathy. Instead, Ning Yuxuan reprimanded him, saying that these were all sect rules.
When he talked to Yi Tian the other day, he knew that he was in a trance and didn't hear anything. This time, he was defeated.
After listening to Ning Yuxuan's words, Yi Tian opened the door and asked the waiter of the teahouse to bring two more pots of tea. He also reminded them to use the two catty pots.
Ning Yuxuan was so scared that he immediately rushed up and threw thirty spirit stones to the waiter, sending him off to serve the tea.
The three of them only calmed down after drinking tea. Yi Tian saw the expectant look in Ning Yuxuan's eyes. He knew that if he continued to play around, he wouldn't be able to, so he didn't pretend.
In front of them, he took out three pieces of mithril ingots, each worth three taels, from his storage bag. Ning Yuxuan beamed with joy.
Gao Shou, who was watching from the side, was stunned. Did this guy steal the mission's quantity?
It wasn't until Yi Tian said that he had handed in the mission that these were extra that the two of them sighed.
Ning Yuxuan took the three pieces of mithril ingots and was about to transfer some contribution points to Yi Tian.
Gao Shou, who was watching from the side, couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed a piece and put it in his arms, making Yi Tian confused.
It seemed that he had to properly understand the details of these materials. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep being fooled.
In the end, Ning Yuxuan had no choice but to tell Yi Tian the truth. These mithril ingots were used to strengthen artifacts.
If an artifact was mixed with half a tael, it could greatly improve its hardness and toughness, not to mention this three taels ingot could be used twice.
Didn't you see that those flying swords mixed with mithril were sold for two thousand spirit stones? The cheapest was one thousand five hundred spirit stones.
This thing was sold for one hundred and fifty spirit stones per tael in the market. Yi Tian took out three pieces and it was more than one thousand spirit stones.
For the two who had just made a fortune, it was nothing. However, if they really wanted to spend this amount of spirit stones, they couldn't buy it outside. There was no supply.
Finished speaking, Ning Yuxuan touched the mithril ingot from time to time. Suddenly, his face changed. He picked up the mithril ingot and looked at it carefully.
It seemed that there was something inside. Gao Shou didn't have a refining background so he naturally didn't know about it.
However, Yi Tian knew that he used the Mysterious Yang True Fire to smelt the mithril ingot in the furnace fire. The impurities were fully separated.
The purity was naturally even higher. How could an outsider know that?
In fact, Yi Tian had originally smelted twenty-six ingots. In the last ingot, he was in a hurry, so he directly used all his strength to smelt the two ingots into one.
The quality and purity of the mithril ingots that other people smelted were almost the same. However, Yi Tian's purity was higher and higher. He purely used the smelting process to cultivate the Mysterious Yang True Fire.
After a long time, Ning Yuxuan turned around and congratulated Yi Tian with a smile on his face. This mithril ingot was refined to the level of a Foundation Establishment Refiner.
The purity was very high. There was no need for a second refinement.
Hearing this, Yi Tian quickly asked about the second refinement. Ning Yuxuan had a request for him, so he didn't hide it. Gao Shou listened on the side as if he didn't understand.
After the three people finished drinking tea, Ning Yuxuan happily paid for the tea. After saying goodbye to Yi Tian, he quickly left.
Yi Tian knew that Gao Shou must have something to ask of him. However, he wasn't in a hurry. He just sat there and waited for him to speak.
These two people had silently extorted over a thousand spirit stones from him. He couldn't just let it go like this.
However, if he looked for Ning Yuxuan, these three mithril ingots would be sold for at least half the price outside. The purity was high.
Gao Shou's meaning was very simple. Last time he took the scarlet sword, and this time he took the mithril ingot.
He wanted to ask Yi Tian to help fuse the mithril ingot into the scarlet sword to upgrade its quality.
Yi Tian didn't pretend to agree on the spot. This matter was easy. He just needed to find some time to go to the Tool Hall and rent a crafting room.
Moreover, according to Ning Yuxuan, the first year newcomers needed to complete a total of sixty points in the Tool Hall.
Yi Tian had already completed one-third of the mission. According to reason, he had nearly three months of free time. He only needed to register and receive the basic mission after three months.
If he could complete the self-selected mission, he only needed to complete sixty contribution points in a year.
Yi Tian discussed with Gao Shou, asking him to go to the Tool Hall and register a forty-point Artefact Upgrade Mission.
He would immediately go and pick it up, and then justifiably finish his year's work.
Gao Shou also readily agreed when he heard this. He even said that Yi Tian would not suffer a loss. Although one contribution point could be exchanged for ten spirit stones, this mithril ingot was estimated to be worth 450 spirit stones, plus the cost of Yi Tian's work.
Forty points seemed to be not enough for him. How about he privately give some spirit stones to Yi Tian.
Finally, the two reached an agreement. They would follow Yi Tian's wishes. If Gao Shou had any opportunities to go out and fish for money, he would call Yi Tian.
In the Tool Hall's Human Crafting Room, Yi Tian had been sitting and cultivating the second level of the Mysterious Sun True Fire for fifty days.
The agreed time with Gao Shou was two months. This was the time Yi Tian had calculated.
Last time, he had used thirty days to cultivate the first level. This second level would definitely be more difficult than the first level.
He had to give himself enough time, not to mention that it would not take three days to reforge the scarlet sword. This was a way to give himself time to cultivate. Moreover, he had also agreed with Gao Shou in advance.
After these fifty days of bitter cultivation, Yi Tian had thoroughly comprehended the Mysterious Sun True Fire and slowly replaced the fire spirit qi in his body with the Mysterious Sun True Fire.
Now, the red spirit qi in his dantian had a hint of gold from time to time. Although it was very small, it was already there.
However, Yi Tian himself was not aware of it. He only felt that his dantian could hold more spirit qi, and it was getting purer and purer.
Three days later, Yi Tian drank a whole bottle of Grand Passion Wine. The spirit qi in his dantian was once again filled.
This time, Yi Tian circulated the fire spirit qi throughout his body, constantly tempering his meridians, and finally returning it to his dantian.
The golden spirit qi was a bit thicker, but it was still very thin. It was so thin that when Yi Tian used his inner vision to look at his dantian, he did not find any strange existence.
The Profound Yang Crafting Scripture had already been copied by Yi Tian. Therefore, the first part of the scripture was just enough to fill in the gaps.
After completing the cultivation of the second level of the Mysterious Sun True Fire, Yi Tian also realized that he would not be able to continue cultivating until he reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Scripture.
After that, he decisively stopped cultivating. The most important thing right now was to practice the Refining Technique.
He had heard from Ning Yuxuan that the demand for Refining Artefacts in the Scarlet Sun District was the same as the demand for Alchemy.
However, Artefacts were basically traded in spirit stones. If he wanted to use contribution points, then he might as well go to the Artifact Hall and post a task.
Yi Tian used the Mysterious Sun True Fire to fuse the scarlet sword and the three silver ingots together.
After erasing the original inscription, he used the Spirit Congealing Technique to re-engrave the two level 2 inscriptions, Rapid and Broken Armies. In any case, he had found them in the Mysterious Sun True Refining Scripture.
The previous level 1 inscription was obviously too cheap. This way, the scarlet sword's level would not be lower than a Level 3 Artefact. At least, Yi Tian thought so.
On the way to the Scripture Pavilion, Yi Tian was still thinking about Gao Shou's expression.
After getting the scarlet sword in his hand, Gao Shou felt that it was a bit heavier than before. This was normal.
However, it was not that heavy. Yi Tian explained that when he was refining, he felt that there was a problem with the ratio of Copper Essence, Iron Essence and Mithril Ingots.
Originally, it was just right, but now with the addition of three silver ingots, the composition of Copper Essence and Iron Essence also increased. Seeing that there were some ready-made spares in the Artefact Refining Room, he directly used them.
Who would have thought that the purity of the Copper Essence and Iron Essence in the Artifact Hall was not enough. In the end, he had to spend a bit more effort. He directly took three large pieces of each and purified them before fusing them into the scarlet sword.
In the end, he even asked Gao Shou to remember to help him pay for the extra materials.
Now, he had completed a year's worth of tasks, and even obtained forty contribution points. His cultivation had also been consolidated.
However, he always felt that the higher he went, the more difficult it would be to cultivate. He did not know where the problem was.
Looking at Gao Shou's intoxicated look while caressing the scarlet sword, it was useless to ask this guy now. He might as well ask Zhuo Lingfeng, that greedy bastard.
After that, Yi Tian only knew that on the day of Gao Shou's death, he had paid five contribution points for the materials. However, he also paid three hundred spirit stones for the Artifact Cultivation Hall's door.
It seemed that when he was testing the sword on the spot, his sword qi had accidentally split the door into two halves. It was a five inch thick door made of steel.
The Artifact Hall's manager looked at his Gao Clan's face and quickly sent this god of plague away on the same day.
He also told the gatekeeper not to accept Gao Shou's task next time. If there was a need, he had to think of a way himself.
