In front of the Wonderful Treasure House's main store in Qing Ling Mountain City, Yi Tian was stopped by the attendant at the door. He laughed and was about to leave when suddenly a voice sounded beside his ear, "Shopkeeper Li, you're home."
When he turned around, he saw that an Earth Dragon Carriage had just arrived. After the curtain of the carriage was slowly pulled open, a beautiful woman dressed in red walked out.
Two Foundation Establishment stage maids had already walked out of the Wonderful Treasure House's lobby and were waiting by the carriage. The attendant at the door saw this and his expression changed greatly. He hastily shouted at Yi Tian, "You cultivator, quickly leave. Don't disturb the noble."
Yi Tian glanced at Shopkeeper Li and his brows relaxed. It turned out to be Li Xinlan whom he had met at the Cheng Mountain Bazaar. After not seeing her for more than two hundred years, her current cultivation had already reached the middle Jin Dan stage and she had become a shopkeeper in charge of a region.
After the other party walked out of the Earth Dragon Carriage, she raised her head and looked at the entrance of Wonderful Treasure House. Smiling, she nodded to the maid beside her and said, "Let's go." But before she took a few steps, her gaze swept to the side and she couldn't help but be stunned.
Soon after, Li Xinlan quietly whispered a few words to the maid beside her and walked straight into the Wonderful Treasure House's main hall.
Yi Tian was about to leave when he suddenly saw the maid of Wonderful Treasure House hastily walk up and greet him like a junior, "Senior has graced us with your presence. Please rest in the inner hall. Shopkeeper Li will personally receive you in a moment."
After shaking his head, Yi Tian's lips slightly moved a few times. Soon after, the maid turned around and led the way into the Wonderful Treasure House's main hall.
After passing through the main hall, the maid led him to a unique and elegant courtyard in the rear courtyard. After entering the side room, Yi Tian slowly sat down on the main seat. In less than half a moment, he heard someone hurriedly walking over. When the door opened, he saw Li Xinlan dressed in palace attire walk in.
After a while, Li Xinlan dismissed the maids and servants and said, "Senior Yi, it has been many years since we last met. How have you been?"
"I didn't expect you to already be the head shopkeeper of a region. Thinking back to that naive little girl in the Qi Condensation stage, those experiences are still vivid in my mind," Yi Tian teased with a smile.
Li Xinlan blushed and said shyly, "Senior Yi is the one who has improved greatly. He reached the early Yuanying stage before the age of 300, and in the next hundred years, he broke through the heavenly barrier and reached another level."
Yi Tian was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood that he had underestimated Wonderful Treasure House's ability to gather information. After interacting with Gu Baichuan in the Ten Thousand Islands Sea, news of him must have spread to the Central Region. After returning to Dong Ao, it would be hard for him not to become famous due to his grand merger of the three factions and his reorganization of the Corpse School.
He then turned around and glanced at Li Xinlan and said, "I didn't expect your cultivation to have reached the middle Jin Dan stage. If this goes on, there is hope for you to reach the Yuanying stage."
Li Xinlan replied happily, "Thank you Senior Yi for your auspicious words. May I know why Senior has come to my humble abode?"
This question hit the nail on the head. Yi Tian did not stand on ceremony and directly asked Li Shuilan for information on the Central Region. It emphasized on the sects and the ruins left behind by the Li Fire Sect.
Li Xinlan thought for a moment, then took out three jade scrolls and copied them and handed them over. Yi Tian was actually a little hesitant about this. The other party actually did not even mention the cost of this, and just let a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator sign a favour like this, this Li Xinlan really had a good plan.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a storage bag and placed enough spirit stones in it, then gently handed it over.
Li Xinlan's face was full of smiles. Her little scheme had been seen through by Yi Tian, and her eyes revealed a trace of disappointment.
Yi Tian found it funny but did not bother with her. He picked up a jade scroll from the table and placed it on his forehead. He used his divine sense to read through it.
After a while, he sighed. It seemed that the situation in the Central Region was much more complicated than he thought. Other than a few large sects, there was also the Tianli Sect that rose up seven or eight hundred years ago. They were hiding in the Central Region and the Northern Plains.
There were also many rogue cultivators scattered across the Central Region. Among these people, there were cultivators who had found the Li Fire Sect's inheritance. After obtaining the treasures, their cultivation had increased by leaps and bounds, reaching the Jin Dan stage and even the Yuanying stage.
And in the south of the central axis where the Li Fire Sect was located, there were several sects that formed the Righteous Alliance. According to the description on the jade scroll, the Righteous Alliance had three early stage Yuanying cultivators. Originally, the Li Fire Sect's three Yuanying cultivators had the upper hand over the Righteous Alliance. But after Lu Linsheng's death two hundred years ago, the Li Fire Sect was at a disadvantage against the Righteous Alliance.
If not for the support of a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator like Lu Jinyuan, the Li Fire Sect would have been forced to move again.
In the cultivation world, the weak were eliminated while the strong were in charge. Yi Tian knew that this iron law was applicable to all cultivators. Even he was the same. Back then, he had brought the five sects' cultivators to the Corpse School to denounce them, forcing them to leave the Hundred Ghost Cave's ancestral land.
The sects with the most stable foundations in the Central Region were the Thousand Spirit Sect and the Tian Dao Sect.
After knowing the territories controlled by the various large factions in the Central State, Yi Tian looked at the Central State's specialty treasures and elixirs. He took out a jade scroll and engraved everything that caught his eye. Then, he handed it to Li Xinlan and said, "I'll have to trouble you to gather the items on the jade scroll. I'll add another 10% to the market price for the transaction."
Li Xinlan took the jade scroll and scanned the contents with her divine sense. Then, her expression changed several times and said, "Senior Yi has requested a variety of treasures. It will take some time for us to gather them. However, some of the high-grade materials may not be available. Please forgive us, Senior. "
"It's fine. You just need to find the treasures to trade. I'll think of another way to get the missing high-grade materials." Yi Tian replied lightly.
With that, Li Xinlan stood up and took her leave. Yi Tian did not say anything else and only nodded his head in acknowledgement.
Later, he picked up the third jade scroll. On the seal was a summary of the Li Fire Sect. After sending his divine sense in, the first thing he saw was the situation of the Li Fire Sect's Imperial Beast Temple near Clear Spirit Mountain.
After carefully reading the information, Yi Tian recalled Li Xinlan's actions. He could not help but smile. It seemed that this little girl was quite scheming. Thinking back, did he really want to get involved in this mess? Generally speaking, everything left behind by the Li Fire Sect should belong to him as the new Sect Leader. However, if he did so, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything in the future.
After a few hours, Yi Tian's divine sense sensed an unusual spiritual energy fluctuation in the Wonderful Treasure House. For a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator, as long as he wanted to, he could use his divine sense to monitor every movement in Clear Spirit City.
It was just that he wanted to make preparations for entering the world, so he did not have such thoughts for the time being. However, it was not a big deal to investigate the situation in the Wonderful Treasure House.
After quietly probing with his divine sense, he found that on the third floor of the main hall, Li Xinlan was conversing with two other Jin Dan cultivators who were also wearing the uniform of the Wonderful Treasure House. However, the three of them did not look friendly, as if they had some disagreement.
