Eastsea City and Ninghai City were like two nails that were firmly locked between the outer and inner seas.
The island chain in the middle was like a barrier that extended out from the two nails.
Although the attacks of the sea race could not break through the barrier, the endless stream of cultivators would quickly fill in the gaps.
Then, they would set up a formation to completely strengthen the area.
On the second day after arriving at Eastsea City, a group of cultivators from the Tool Hall were sent to the Tool Forging Room to receive their tasks.
Yi Tian was given some miscellaneous tasks such as repairing magic tools and fusing materials.
Two months later, Yi Tian looked at the damaged level two and level three magic tools and shook his head.
They really didn't treat him as a human. Every day, they would send over 200 damaged magic tools.
More than 20 blacksmiths were given at least 10 pieces each. After repairing them, they would be busy from day to night.
At first, they could rest for 6 hours every day. Later on, more and more things were sent in, and the time left for the blacksmiths to rest was reduced.
Eastsea City's Tool Hall was not like Chiyang School's Tool Hall. Every two blacksmiths were given a room.
There were two furnaces inside. The place was quite spacious, but it was half open.
Huang Da couldn't take it anymore yesterday. Ignoring Yi Tian's objections, he closed his eyes and fainted. He pushed the rest of his work to Yi Tian.
Fortunately, Yi Tian's spirit power was deep. Seeing that he couldn't report back, he could only start from the left and right.
He directly started refining on the two furnaces at the same time. Each magic tool was also slightly repaired.
The inscriptions were also casually carved. As long as he could report back, it was fine.
After working for 6 hours, he finished repairing all the magic tools in his hands.
However, he was so tired that he felt dizzy. The spirit qi in his dantian was almost used up.
The good thing was that his Spiritual Sense had been fully tempered in the past few days of refining. In fact, it was an overdraft.
When he came back to his senses, he found that his spiritual sense had increased by more than 5%.
He looked at Huang Ziang, who was sleeping like a dead pig, and thought that his spiritual sense had improved. He thought that the heavens were really good to him.
This time, the manager sent by the Artifact Hall was Ning Qingyuan's second disciple, Qi Haosi.
Every night, Chief Steward Qi would personally come to inspect the place, and at the same time, take away the repaired artifacts and store them in the warehouse.
However, every time Qi Haosi was about to reach Yi Tian's refining room, Huang Ziang would immediately stand up energetically.
He took the damaged magic tool from Yi Tian's hands and concentrated on repairing it. He didn't look tired at all.
Chief Steward Qi would calculate the sect's contribution points according to the number of magic tools collected, and then add the corresponding contribution points to each artificer's token.
He walked to Yi Tian's crafting room, counted the items, and put them into his storage bag one by one.
The assistant behind him would pick up a pen and record it down, drawing a circle on a list of refiners.
Then, he took out a sect token and matched it with Yi Tian's.
Yi Tian instantly saw that his contribution points had increased by more than ten points, and so did Huang Ziang.
However, after Chief Steward Qi left, Huang Ziang smiled and walked to Yi Tian's side, transferring most of the points.
The East Sea City's structure was still very perfect, and it all imitated the sect.
There was the Artifact Hall, the Pill Hall, the Cultivation Hall, and even the Scripture Pavilion. There were even restaurants on the street.
Yi Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This East Sea City was really worthy of being the first barrier in the East Sea City.
Early on, Ning Qingyuan had already told the disciples that the contribution points obtained from completing tasks in the East Sea City could be used locally.
If they wanted to bring it back to the sect, they could go to the contribution point certification office next to the city lord's mansion to go through the conversion procedures.
Moreover, the contribution points from the front line could be converted to Chiyang School's contribution points.
After seven or eight days of continuous work, the Artifact Hall cultivators could also apply for a day or two to rest. They could take advantage of their free time to go to the city to take a look.
Most of the things could be bought with spirit stones, but a few rare materials, level three magic tools, pills, and above needed to be exchanged with contribution points.
As for the things recorded in the Scripture Pavilion, they only needed contribution points.
After wandering around the city for a day, Yi Tian finally found some feeling. At least, it was not like a few days ago, where he was worried all day about not being able to complete the task.
Strangely enough, after arriving at the East Sea City, Yi Tian's cultivation was steadily improving, but the Divine Sense Substitute's progress was very slow.
Except for a little progress when he completed tasks, he usually didn't have any big breakthroughs in his cultivation.
Later, he found an opportunity to ask Qi Haosi, but the answer was that he needed a Divine Sense Cultivation Spirit Art.
After every refiner tempered their Divine Sense, they could control and smelt more magic tools at the same time. During battle, they could control more than one magic tool.
The strongest Divine Sense Spirit Art among the three sects was Xuan Ling Sect's Bright Sun Spirit Art, but it was a secret that could only be cultivated at the Foundation Establishment stage.
No wonder Yi Tian couldn't find it in the Chiyang School's Scripture Pavilion.
In the East Sea City's Scripture Pavilion, there was a Divine Sense Tracking Technique suitable for Qi Condensation cultivators.
However, it was the most exchangeable among all the techniques. In the end, it reminded Yi Tian to find time to go to the Scripture Pavilion to take a look.
East Sea City's Scripture Pavilion was different from the three great sects. Most of the Scripture Pavilion was Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment techniques contributed by the three great sects.
There were also some that the three great sects' cultivators found in the hands of the sea race when they were stationed in East Sea City.
There were also some that were found in some immortal's caves overseas.
In short, they were all bits and pieces of techniques, but they all needed to be exchanged with East Sea City's contribution points.
Looking at the sect jade token in his hand, in addition to more than 300 sect contribution points, there were also more than 500 contribution points earned in East Sea City.
The former was written in red, while the latter was written in blue.
It was said that it was easy to earn contribution points on the front line. These 500 points were slowly accumulated by Yi Tian after he arrived in East Sea City by repairing artifacts every day.
Although it was only a little each time he repaired an artifact, it was still a lot. There was also the portion that he helped Huang Ziang repair.
If it was in the sect, he could definitely spend it for a while, but in the front line of East Sea City, everything was expensive.
Even mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills cost five spirit stones each. The materials for refining artifacts were also sold at double the price, so it was easy to earn contribution points here.
On the way to the Scripture Pavilion, Yi Tian was still proud, thinking about how to use the contribution points he had earned now.
After running to the Scripture Pavilion, he found that there was only a large stone tablet there. All the techniques had been engraved on it.
Yi Tian looked up and found that these techniques were divided according to their attributes.
Some special techniques and techniques were placed at the top, and the contribution points marked were very high.
After searching from bottom to top for a long time, he still couldn't find the Spiritual Sense technique that Qi Haosi had mentioned.
Yi Tian wondered if Qi Haosi had remembered it wrongly. Some of the words at the top were smaller. Yi Tian had to open his Spirit Light Eyes and found that the Spiritual Sense Technique was actually ranked second, with 3,000 contribution points next to it.
In first place was an incomplete technique called Asura Transformation with 10,000 contribution points next to it.
In an instant, Yi Tian felt that the contribution points that he had painstakingly saved up over the past few months were too little. If this continued, even if the Oceanids were to be beaten back, they would still be unable to do anything.
If the Sea Race was defeated by the Sea Race, he might not be able to earn 3,000 contribution points to exchange for the Spiritual Sense Technique.
Moreover, he asked the steward of the Scripture Pavilion. This place was different from the sect. If he fancied a technique, he had to register it and pay the contribution points.
Then, he could use the Scripture Pavilion's mark to go to the Cultivation Hall in the City Lord's Mansion to get it.
On the way back, Yi Tian thought about it again and again. He couldn't just sit and wait. If he stayed in the Artifact Hall, it definitely wouldn't work. He had to go out and take some missions to earn more contribution points.
In the next few days, Yi Tian was absent-minded. When he was free, he would run to the mission area to look at the missions displayed there.
However, he found that they were all five-person team missions, and they all required a Foundation Establishment cultivator to lead the team.
Each team had to have at least two Qi Disciple Stage Nine cultivators, and the remaining members also had special requirements.
A Qi Disciple Stage Seven cultivator like Yi Tian couldn't go out on missions at all. He could only stay in the Artifact Hall in East Sea City and take on missions to refine and repair magic artifacts.
He returned to the Artifact Hall with a dejected expression. Huang Ziang saw the sighing Yi Tian and didn't dare to talk to him. He could only start refining by himself.
A commotion next to him interrupted Yi Tian's contemplation. When he walked out of the room, he saw groups of refiners discussing something.
He went up and asked, and found out that Qi Haosi was looking for someone.
Yi Tian wasn't surprised by this kind of thing. It happened a few times every day, but it was a little strange today.
Those refiners were obviously hiding from Chief Steward Qi. He didn't know what had happened.
Seeing that no one went up, Yi Tian didn't dare to take the lead. However, he heard Qi Haosi call for all the refiners whose names were called to gather at his place.
He heard that He Xinsheng's name was among the first few names. This person hadn't left the house since he came.
He had been standing by his furnace and working day and night. He belonged to the category of hardworking people.
However, the more he was like this, the more Yi Tian suspected him. Others just thought that he was more of a loner.
However, Yi Tian thought that this kind of person was really suitable to be a spy. If people rarely interacted with him, no one would be able to see through him.
Just as he was distracted, Huang Ziang patted Yi Tian on the back and pointed out that Chief Steward Qi was waving at him.
The confused Yi Tian could only walk forward. Looking around, he was surrounded by eighth or ninth layer refiners. His cultivation was still the lowest.
Qi Haosi said simply, "This time, I need two refiners to complete a mission with me. I hope that the people present can step forward voluntarily."
After half an hour, seeing that no one responded, Chief Steward Qi's expression didn't look too good.
Yi Tian really wanted to go, but the others didn't make a sound. He didn't want to be the first to do so.
In the end, it was still Qi Haosi who pointed at He Xinsheng, meaning to count him in. He Xinsheng also walked out helplessly.
Most of the others had their heads lowered or were looking elsewhere.
In the end, Chief Steward Qi had no choice. A forcibly picked melon wasn't sweet. Fortunately, there was still one person who looked eager to give it a try.
It was just that his cultivation was a little low, only at the seventh layer. However, there was no other way. At least he was more useful than the others.
After pondering for a while, Chief Steward Qi directly selected Yi Tian as the second candidate.
