In the secret vault, Yi Tian suggested for Flying Squirrel to retrieve the three jade boxes. Lu Jinyuan, who was by the side, did not stop him.
Instead, it was Flying Squirrel himself who was submissive. Anyone could tell that he was being forced to do something beyond his ability. Under Yi Tian's urging, Flying Squirrel did not dare to be careless. He shook his psyche and walked towards the secret vault's inner chamber.
Soon, he retrieved the three jade boxes under the duo's supervision. After taking them out, he gently pushed one of them towards Yi Tian. The jade box slowly flew over and Yi Tian did not stand on ceremony. He reached out his hand to catch it and put it away without even looking at it.
Flying Squirrel took a deep breath and turned around to throw the other two jade boxes to Lu Jinyuan. The latter reached out his hand and caught the jade box in his palm.
Unlike Yi Tian, Lu Jinyuan directly opened the jade box after removing the talisman. After a few seconds, he revealed a satisfied smile.
Following that, he turned around and transmitted his voice, "Xiahou Cangqiong fled this place after being injured by me. I believe the Tianli Sect will end up in a situation where we will not rest until one of us is dead."
Yi Tian was taken aback. He secretly blamed Lu Jinyuan for not revealing the matter earlier. If that were the case, he would not be able to return once Xiahou Cangqiong returned to the Jun Capital City.
Thinking of the Sky Silkworm larvae that were being fed in the cave, Yi Tian was vexed that he could not retrieve them for the time being.
However, he pretended as though nothing had happened and replied with a transmission, "Then Senior Brother will have to bear with it. I have some matters to attend to for the time being. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you for the time being. Senior Brother Hu has already given me a communication jade talisman a long time ago. If Senior Brother needs anything in the future, you can contact me directly. "
Lu Jinyuan frowned when he heard that. He did not expect to be rejected before he even opened his mouth. After glancing at Yi Tian a few times, the corner of his mouth twitched as he said with a laugh, "If that's the case, I won't disturb Junior Brother any further. Let's part ways here. If there's a chance in the future, I hope that Junior Brother can come visit the Li Fire Sect in the middle state so that I can do my part as a host. "
Yi Tian cupped his hands and replied, "That's right, that's right. After I finish my tour of the Central Continent, I will definitely pay a visit to Senior Brother."
After hearing this, Lu Jinyuan's figure flashed and he directly chose a path and hurriedly left. Yi Tian saw this and smiled, thinking that he had finally dealt with him.
After putting away the two Fire Leaving Medallions on the stone door, Yi Tian turned to look at the Flying Squirrel beside him. He stretched out his hand and brought him to the other side.
Along the way, there was no need for him to restrain his cultivation base. He could use it to his heart's content. In less than two hours, he found a door of light at one end of the hidden storehouse. Then, he brought the Flying Rat out from it.
Half a day later, Yi Tian found an open space in a barren mountain three hundred miles east of the ruins. He placed the Flying Rat down and sized him up. At this moment, the Flying Rat appeared to be abnormally respectful, but he was actually feeling uneasy. He did not dare to look straight at him. Yi Tian knew that the Flying Rat's life and death were in his hands, so he was not afraid that he would play any tricks.
After taking a breather, the Flying Rat mustered up his courage and asked softly, "Senior Yi, now that the matter is settled, can you let me go?"
A green light flashed in Yi Tian's eyes as he stared at the Treasure-seeking Rat for a long time, but he could not figure out anything. After hearing the Flying Rat's question, he stopped his spell and coughed lightly, "As long as you answer a few of my questions, not only will I let you go, I will also give you an opportunity."
A golden light flashed in the Flying Rat's eyes before he revealed a timid look and said, "Senior Yi, there's no need for an opportunity, as long as you let me go."
"Alright," Yi Tian shook his head and asked, "Do you know what's inside the three jade boxes?"
The Flying Rat shook his head and said, "This junior was unable to open the box, so naturally I don't know if the treasure inside is valuable or not."
"Then you just randomly picked a jade box for me, right?" Yi Tian said unhappily.
The Flying Rat hurriedly defended himself, "Senior Yi, don't worry, although I don't know what's inside the jade box, one thing is for sure, the thing in your hand is definitely much more valuable than the other two."
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"This junior's spirit pet became very excited after smelling the jade box, but the other two jade boxes reacted normally," the Flying Rat replied.
Yi Tian nodded slowly and said, "Take out your spirit pet and let me see."
The Flying Rat's face froze, and immediately revealed a difficult expression. Their movements were hesitant, and they began to show signs of unwillingness. When Yi Tian saw this, he smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I'll trick your spirit pet? Don't worry, if I wanted to, you wouldn't be alive now."
The Flying Rat gritted his teeth and stretched out his right hand. Then, he muttered, "Come."
A ray of white light shot out from his body and stopped above his palm. When the light faded, only a five-inch-long white-furred mouse was left. Its ears and tail were still pink. Yawning, he opened his small eyes and scanned his surroundings.
When Yi Tian saw the Treasure-Seeking Rat, it curled up into a ball and hid its head. Its body was trembling as if it was afraid of something.
Waving his hand, the Flying Sky Rat recalled his spirit pet. Feeling as if it had been granted amnesty, the Flying Sky Rat hurriedly thanked Yi Tian. Then, it used its cultivation method to summon the Treasure-seeking Mouse back into its spirit beast pouch.
Then it heard Yi Tian ask, "You've been to the Northern Plains, right? This Treasure-Seeking Rat should have been brought back from there, right?"
The Flying Rat's face was expressionless, but its eyes betrayed it. Just as it was about to reply, Yi Tian said, "You don't need to say anything. I can roughly guess the origin of this Treasure-Seeking Rat. I didn't expect you to be so bold despite your low cultivation. You actually went to the territory of the Soul-Devouring Rat King and kidnapped his descendant. You have to know that none of the four Archfiend Kings are easy to deal with. In this life, don't set foot in the Northern Plains until you reach the Yuanying stage. "
The Flying Rat's face turned cold, and it quickly nodded. "Thank you, Senior Yi, for your advice. I'll remember it."
"I've rented a temporary cave abode in the Jun Capital City. There are some Sky Silkworm larvae in there." Yi Tian took out an access token and threw it to the Flying Rat. "I won't be able to return anytime soon, so I'll give you the things in the cave abode. I believe that with your connections, you'll be able to handle it properly."
The Flying Rat looked delighted when he received the access token. He even played with the access token from time to time. This could be considered a decent opportunity. Finally, he had gained something from this expedition. He hurriedly replied respectfully, "Senior Yi, it would be impolite of this junior to refuse the things in the cave abode. If there's anything I need in the future, I hope that Senior can help me."
Yi Tian grunted and waved his hand, indicating for him to leave as soon as possible. He had gained quite a lot this time, so he had to find a place to discuss it. Previously, Mao Budai had mentioned that there was a secret about the Li Fire Sect that could be exchanged. This matter had piqued his interest.
