For more than a year, Yi Tian's team shuttled through the northern waters of East Sea City from time to time, slowly setting up the spying array discs on various uninhabited islands.
The defensive island chain slowly extended north for more than two hundred miles, causing the originally passive East Sea City to gradually start to plan a counterattack.
But these things had nothing to do with Yi Tian.
In the first six months, Yi Tian led the team to complete the setting up of array discs on two islands every month, and this speed was also in line with Qi Haosi's requirements.
In the next six months, the speed obviously increased, going out once every ten days.
The contribution points earned in four months allowed Yi Tian to completely free himself from the debt.
Now there were more than two thousand points left in the sect jade card, but calculating the Asura Change spell with ten thousand points, Yi Tian could only look at it and sigh.
In this year, Yi Tian's cultivation had also greatly improved, and on the basis of constantly refining array discs, his cultivation of the Mysterious Sun True Fire quickly entered the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage.
The Spiritual Consciousness Tracking Spirit Art was also very smooth in the early stages, allowing his Spiritual Consciousness to explosively grow for a period of time.
This made Yi Tian happy for a while, but when it came to the last three parts of his Spiritual Consciousness, he couldn't cultivate it, always feeling that something was missing.
The growth of his Spiritual Consciousness caused Yi Tian's refining speed to significantly increase, and now he could refine three sets of array discs every month.
It was not that he didn't want to refine more, but the materials given by the City Lord's Mansion were not enough, otherwise Yi Tian was prepared to refine five or six sets a month.
Not to mention the work in his hands, even his cultivation followed suit.
Putting aside the increase in his cultivation, Yi Tian also mastered the first level of the Wind Stepping Movement Technique.
Now his speed was comparable to the speed of a ninth level cultivator.
But after all, this was taken from Sun Haojie, so he would try not to use it as much as possible.
He also had to guard against He Xinsheng at all times, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The two brothers also made great progress, and Huang Ziang was now mainly responsible for refining the array foundation.
Therefore, when he was in the Artifact Hall, he had already refined it. When he arrived at the island, he just needed to make some adjustments according to Yi Tian's request.
And as he did more and more refining work, his cultivation slowly rose to the peak of the sixth level.
On the contrary, Shi Hua City was even more abnormal. Every time, he and Dongfang Zhuo were in charge of guarding.
Sometimes, they would even take the initiative to attack and reap the spoils when they encountered Class 2 Sea Beasts.
If they saw a Tier 3, they wouldn't run. Instead, they would try their best to stall for time until Dongfang Zhuo came back to help.
After more than a year, his cultivation had skyrocketed to the seventh layer. Every time he saw Yi Tian, he would call him 'Boss' and say that following Yi Tian this time was not in vain.
On the other hand, Dongfang Zhuo and Mo Mingjun's cultivation did not seem to have improved much. Yi Tian took the opportunity to ask Mo Mingjun for advice.
It turned out that the growth of Foundation Establishment cultivators was much slower than that of Qi Condensation cultivators. The main reason was that the demand for spiritual energy was too high. Ordinary Donghai City's training rooms were completely useless.
Even the Earth-ranked rooms were only effective for Qi Condensation cultivators at the ninth layer. Foundation Establishment cultivators had to cultivate in the sect's blessed land.
As for Dongfang Zhuo, he revealed a useful piece of information to Yi Tian. In five years, it would be the time of the Six Sects' secret realm trial. Only those above the ninth layer would be qualified to go.
Moreover, each sect had a fixed quota, so the competition would be very fierce. Dongfang Zhuo was in the middle of the ninth layer. He was slowly accumulating power.
When he reached the late stage of the ninth layer in five years, he would have a better chance of entering the secret realm trial.
Moreover, Xuan Ling Sect's Foundation Establishment Pills were given out according to the results of the trial. Presumably, Chiyang School was the same.
After listening to Dongfang Zhuo's words, Yi Tian had to think deeply. When he first entered the sect, he felt that it was too early to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. Now, as his cultivation increased, these things were right in front of him. It would not be a big problem to reach the ninth layer in five years.
Ever since he started dual cultivating wood and fire, Yi Tian had been deliberately maintaining the balance between the two spirit energies. He hoped that when he reached the ninth layer, he would use his dual spirit roots to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he was not in a hurry to obtain it. Even if he used it, it would only increase his success rate by 30%.
There were many people in Chiyang School who failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage after using the Foundation Establishment Pill. Moreover, if they failed the first time, it would be even more difficult to succeed the second time.
Therefore, he had to think carefully about the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Fortunately, there were records in the Xuanyang True Fire. Originally, Xuanyang Sect's cultivators would have no problem reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Generally, they would have a 70% to 80% chance of passing. Therefore, the Foundation Establishment Pill was a timely help to others.
However, for Yi Tian, it was the icing on the cake.
As for the secret realm trial, Yi Tian was very interested in it. It was said that there were many heavenly treasures inside.
Since he was learning how to refine tools, he could find some good things inside. After reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, he could use them to refine spirit tools.
The five people sitting on the Assault Boat were once again calculating the situation of this mission.
The target island was relatively far away. It was about 500 kilometers away from East Sea City.
Even with a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator driving, the group of people on the Assault Boat flew for half a day before arriving.
After more than a year of practice, the five people were already familiar with what to do and how to deal with emergency situations. They had practiced it several times.
After putting down the magic tools, everyone was assigned tasks as usual. Yi Tian went to investigate the location of the hypothetical formation plate.
After Huang Ziang measured the sea area of the small island, he readjusted the formation base.
Mo Mingjun rested on the spot to recover his spirit power. Dongfang Zhuo and Master Chemist Cheng flew in the air to keep watch.
Two hours later, white fog gradually appeared on the island, covering the surrounding 10 kilometers of sea area.
The five people boarded the flying boat and began to rush back. Sea beasts did not like to move around during the day.
Therefore, Yi Tian usually chose to finish his work during the day and try to reach the safe sea area before sunset.
Just as the Assault Boat adjusted its direction in the air and prepared to return, they saw a few flashes in the northern sea area. Then, there was the sound of spells fighting.
It was obvious that there were people fighting there, and it seemed that the commotion was not small. There were at least Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators and Rank Four Sea Beasts fighting.
Dongfang Zhuo's intention was to sweep the snow in front of their own door. That place was not within East Sea City's jurisdiction.
Moreover, today's mission was already completed. It was better to return to the safe area as soon as possible.
Huang Ziang and Master Chemist Cheng also had the same idea. It was better to avoid trouble.
Unfortunately, Mo Mingjun, who hated evil, insisted on going to take a look.
He even acted like a captain and said, "When setting up the formation plate, listen to Yi Tian. When it comes to fighting, I still have the final say."
The three of them looked at Yi Tian, hoping that he would say something fair. However, they did not expect that Yi Tian would also agree to go take a look.
After all, this matter happened right under their noses. It was not good to ignore it. Mo Mingjun thought highly of Yi Tian.
Then, Mo Mingjun used the token to notify the nearby patrol team. He hurriedly turned the boat around and flew straight over.
Under Mo Mingjun's control, the Assault Boat arrived in the sea area in a moment.
The five of them looked down and saw about a dozen Rank Two and Rank Two Sea Beasts surrounded the five human cultivators under the leadership of two Rank Four Sea Beasts.
The Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator in the lead of the five-man team was wearing the Medicine Valley's uniform. Around him stood a Medicine Valley disciple.
The other three people were wearing Qi Refinement cultivators' robes. They were wearing the Corpse School's and White Bone Gate's uniforms.
It seemed that the Qihuang Sect was good at alchemy, but they were still lacking when it came to fighting.
No wonder it was said that those who lived in the Medicine Valley were peaceful cultivators. In terms of combat power, they were ranked last among the Six Sects.
Seeing that the five of them were surrounded, Mo Mingjun shouted, "Follow me!" Then, he took the lead and jumped off the flying boat.
He raised the flying sword in his hand and controlled it to stab the leading Turtle Spirit.
The other four people also flew on their magic tools and joined the battle.
Everyone used their best spells and caught the sea beasts off guard.
When the five cultivators who were surrounded saw that there were reinforcements, they rushed out of the encirclement together without hesitation.
The two groups of people converged. After communicating with each other through voice transmission, they began to kill the sea beasts.
After a while, only the leading Turtle Spirit broke out of the encirclement with a few followers. The other sea beasts were annihilated on the spot.
After that, the two sides exchanged information. It turned out that the other side was a cultivator from Ninghai City who had come to set up a formation.
The leader was Cheng Lingsheng, a formation master from the Qihuang Sect. Beside him were disciples from various sects and cultivator clans gathered in Ninghai City.
Yi Tian was most concerned about the young man wearing ordinary cultivator robes. He heard others call him Lei Dong. He was a cultivator sent by the Lei Family, a cultivator clan affiliated to the Qihuang Sect.
The rest of the disciples from the White Bone Gate and the Corpse School were from opposing sects. When they met, they didn't treat each other well. As long as they didn't quarrel, it was considered peaceful.
The two Foundation Establishment cultivators exchanged a few pleasantries. Then, they saw Cheng Lingsheng look at Yi Tian and smile.
Yi Tian also nodded in response. Both sides didn't say anything.
After a while, they heard the disciples from the White Bone Gate and the City of Huaxia City arguing. Everyone ran over to take a look. It turned out that the two people were arguing over the spoils of war.
When they saw that the two Foundation Establishment cultivators were embarrassed, they hurriedly stopped them.
Although Foundation Establishment cultivators were polite to each other, disputes between their subordinates weren't easy to deal with. They had to worry about the reputation of the sects behind these people.
Moreover, Huang Ziang also went up to argue, causing the disciples from the Corpse School to join in as well.
The two of them were in a stalemate. The four of them argued until their faces turned red.
At this moment, there was a flash of light in the northern sea. Then, a group of cultivators flew over.
The one leading them was the Corpse School's Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yin Wuhui. He had three disciples from the White Bone Gate and a disciple from the Qihuang Sect.
Mo Mingjun's face twitched when he saw this. This was the situation he didn't want to encounter the most. Previously, he had seriously injured Yin Wuji and caused him to die in Aodong.
This matter had already made the Corpse School's Jin Dan Old Ancestor, Yin Lixing, very unhappy. Now that they met someone from the Yin Clan, it was already good enough that they didn't fight.
The most infuriating thing was that the two in front of him were cowards. They even quarreled over the sea beast corpses.
The five of them arrived quickly. In half an incense's time, they arrived at the scene.
After the two Foundation Establishment cultivators explained the situation to each other through sound transmissions, Yi Tian saw Yin Wuhui turn to look at Mo Mingjun. Yi Tian knew that things weren't looking good.
He hurriedly went over to grab the two idiots. After a while, the three of them returned to Mo Mingjun's side.
Their hands were on their storage bags. If they sensed something wrong, they would immediately escape.
This time, it was Mo Mingjun who was unyielding. Seeing that Yin Wuhui wasn't backing down, he said in a tough tone, "We came to rescue you. You guys aren't grateful and are even fighting. This time, you have to hand over the sea beast corpses."
That Medicine Valley's Cheng Lingsheng also had an awkward expression. They had just been saved, and it didn't seem right to turn hostile now.
As if he could see that the two of them had a grudge, Cheng Lingsheng also remained silent.
Yin Wuhui directly waved his hand. His subordinates and the two arguing cultivators all surrounded them.
However, the two from the Medicine Valley and that Lei Dong didn't move. It was as if the matter in front of them had nothing to do with them.
Mo Mingjun wasn't afraid. He just stared at Yin Wuhui and didn't move.
Suddenly, there was a whistling sound. Yi Tian saw a group of Dong Hai City patrol flying over from the southern sea.
Yi Tian also recognised the Foundation Establishment cultivator in the lead. It was Xuan Ling Sect's Cai Wenqiang, whom he met at Pushan Square.
He turned to look at Mo Mingjun. So he wasn't afraid. He had already notified people. This was going to be a good show.
