Under Mao Butong's suggestion, Fei Qingjie and Hua Renxiong both admitted defeat and agreed to share the loot equally. Yi Tian could tell that Hua Renxiong was not being sincere, but as a rogue cultivator, the most important thing was to stay alive, so he had no choice but to give in.
Mao Butong and Xiahou Cangqiong's strength was definitely enough to crush them, and Yi Tian could tell that their spiritual energy fluctuations were a little unstable. It was obvious that they had just been rescued and had not recovered to their best condition, so they had no choice but to agree to Mao Butong's suggestion.
The three of them each took out a storage pouch that looked exactly the same. Then, they took out the items stored in the pouch and lined them up on the ground. Yi Tian scanned the seven items with his Divine Sense, then locked onto a small token with the Li Fire Sect's emblem. This item was obviously the key to open a place in the sect. Although he could not confirm it immediately, he could slowly verify it later.
The remaining items were a broken spearhead, two bottles of elixirs, two pieces of supreme-grade spirit stones, and a black mineral. Because there were two items that were duplicated, there were fewer choices to choose from.
Seeing this, Mao Butong showed a satisfied look, then slowly said, "How should we arrange the order of selection?"
As soon as this was said, everyone's faces turned serious. No one wanted to fall behind. Once their favorite item was picked, the rest would be useless.
Xiahou Cangqiong snorted and said, "I'll go first. Does anyone have any objections?"
Fei Qingjie shook his head and replied, "Since three people will not be able to pick anything in the second round, why don't we do it this way? The three people who pick first will take the initiative to give up, and the last two people will take turns to pick. After that, each of them will split eight million spirit stones equally between the first three people and the flying rat. "
As soon as this was said, Yi Tian's eyes lit up and he looked at Fei Qingjie again. He did not expect this person to be so quick-witted. The first to pick would only have one chance, and the last two who picked up the leftovers would get two items. In this environment, it was a reasonable plan.
As such, Xiahou Cangqiong, who had originally spoken, shut his mouth. In his opinion, the first to pick would be at a disadvantage. After the two of them whispered to each other, Mao Butong took the lead and said, "I'll go first." He then pointed at the broken spearhead and kept it in his pouch.
Seeing this, Yi Tian didn't want to take advantage of others and slowly said, "I'm not the second choice." Everyone looked at each other and felt that there was no objection, so they all nodded.
Walking forward, Yi Tian stretched out his hand and hooked it into the token with the Li Fire Sect emblem. He turned around and glanced at Fei Qingjie from the corner of his eye. There was no change in his expression, but a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
Yi Tian also knew that the item in his hand must be something that the other party wanted. It was just that he had taken the lead and couldn't do anything about it.
The three of them remained in a stalemate for a while. In the end, Hua Renxiong was the first to give in. He stepped forward and took a bottle of medicinal pills. Then, he stepped aside and remained silent. In the end, Xiahou Cangqiong and Fei Qingjie divided the remaining items equally. Fei Qingjie took a piece of top-grade spirit stone and the lump of ore, while the rest went to Xiahou Cangqiong.
After the division, the two of them took out a batch of spirit stones and directly packed them into four bags and handed them to Yi Tian and the others. As a result, the situation suddenly eased.
As for Flying Squirrel, he also received one as a reward for his efforts.
After cleaning up, Yi Tian looked at Mao Butong and said to the passage on the side, "We can leave from here. What do you think?"
Everyone nodded. Since the treasures had been divided, there was nothing to be reluctant about. Then, under Mao Butong's lead, everyone walked into the passage.
Yi Tian had just taken a few steps when a voice sounded in his ear, "Brother Yi, are you interested in the item in my hand?"
Needless to say, this must be Fei Qingjie's voice transmission, and he could guess his purpose. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he slowly moved a few steps before replying, "Fellow Daoist Fei, are you thinking of selling the item in your hand? I can give you a good price. "
Fei Qingjie was stunned, thinking that Yi Tian had misunderstood his meaning. He continued, "What I mean is that I want to use the item in my hand to exchange for the item you chose?"
"If Fellow Daoist Fei is interested in that token, why don't you choose it first?" Yi Tian replied with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, can you tell me the origin of this token? I will give you a reply after some consideration. How about that?"
"I can only tell you that this item is a token of the Li Fire Sect. It is specially used to open certain special mechanisms," said Fei Qingjie.
Yi Tian did not show it on his face, but he was laughing in his heart. He thought to himself, 'As expected, this token with the Li Fire Sect's symbol is the key to opening the sect's important grounds. This Fei Qingjie can't seem to forget about it. It seems like the Righteous Alliance's private plans are not small.'
Since that was the case, he might as well raise the price. Following that, Yi Tian began to secretly chat with Fei Qingjie via voice transmission, generally raising the price. Since the item was something the other party wanted, he might as well propose a two-for-one exchange, using the two treasures in his hand to exchange for the token in his hand.
Immediately, Fei Qingjie was so angry that his lips trembled. Finally, he helplessly nodded in agreement. However, he repeatedly instructed that this was a private exchange between the two of them. When they returned to the Jun Capital, they would disperse and wait for news of the exchange in the northern part of the city.
Yi Tian did not expect the other party to agree to a private exchange. He was really not afraid of being taken advantage of. After the two of them agreed, they pretended as if nothing had happened and slowly followed the crowd out of the cave.
After the seven of them left the cave, Xiahou Cangqiong reached out his hand and caused the rocks at the entrance to collapse slightly. After a cloud of smoke, the entrance to the ruin was completely buried.
After the group saw that the matter was settled, they immediately flew in the direction of the Jun Capital. Flying Squirrel had only done his best to obtain four million Spirit Stones, so it was quite a fruitful harvest.
On the way back, Xiahou Cangqiong led the way, so it was quite easy. However, Yi Tian noticed that Xiahou Cangqiong's gaze was somewhat evasive. Perhaps, Xiahou Cangqiong had discovered something.
However, Xiahou Cangqiong could not do anything if he did not say anything. He did not speak much along the way and only followed behind him as they flew towards the Jun Capital.
Five days later, when the group returned to the Jun Capital, their visit finally came to a successful end. When they parted ways, Yi Tian only stared at Flying Squirrel. A green light flashed in his eyes, causing the latter to tremble. However, he did not dare to act rashly in front of the Yuanying cultivators, so he could only endure it.
At the same time, Yi Tian heard Xiahou Cangqiong's voice transmission, "Brother Yi, is there something else you need from Flying Squirrel?"
"Is there something you want to ask him in person?" Yi Tian replied unhurriedly.
"This person is still very useful to my Tianli Sect. I hope you will give me some face and not hurt him," Xiahou Cangqiong said.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I also want to be on good terms with the Tianli Sect. I will definitely not do something like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs," Yi Tian said.
