It only took less than half a day to fly from Tianya Pavilion to Chiyang School's mountain gate.
Yi Tian stepped on the flywheel and headed towards the sect, but his mind was completely immersed in the conversation he had with Yan Jungang half a day ago.
Although he had promised to find a way to find the spies hidden in the sect during the Six Sects' Mystic Realm trial, he still insisted on doing it.
However, Yi Tian still insisted on doing things his own way. His agreement with Yan Jungang also included settling Wu Xing's problem and clearing Zhao Xinmeng's identity.
This trial seemed to be full of danger, but in Yi Tian's opinion, it was full of opportunities.
It was true that the natural treasures inside could be used directly, but it was said that those who survived the trial would also temper their Dao Heart, making it easier for them to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Moreover, Yan Jungang also transmitted his voice to Yi Tian, "There is a spring in the depths of the mystic realm. Every ten years, about one liter of spring water will flow out from there. If you can drink a liter of it, it will greatly improve the condensation of your Spiritual Power. Unfortunately, there is only enough for five people, so the competition between the various sects will be very fierce.
The main task of entering the mystic realm is to find the natural treasures and medicinal herbs. Generally, as long as you bring two medicinal herbs that are more than a hundred years old to the sect, you can exchange them for a Foundation Establishment Pill. "
Everyone knew that there were dangers everywhere in the mystic realm, but the greatest danger came from the surrounding cultivators.
Even some fellow sect members would turn against each other for a few hundred-year-old medicinal herbs. In front of the Foundation Establishment Stage, friendship and family were nothing.
Cultivators were fighting against the heavens, so anything was possible.
There were several ways to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, but the other ways were either to make a great contribution to the sect or to have a strong backer.
Or those experienced alchemists, when refining the Foundation Establishment Pill for the sect, could leave one pill for themselves.
Ordinary cultivators could only participate in the mystic realm trial in order to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Moreover, those powerful cultivators would also choose to enter the mystic realm trial in order to break through.
Originally, Yan Jungang was still worried about Yi Tian's strength.
But after knowing that he could actually defeat Sun Haojie and Guo Wenliang, he was finally relieved.
Sun Haojie was not familiar with Guo Wenliang, but Guo Wenliang was the number one expert of the Qi Condensation stage in the Commandment Hall. Even he had died at the hands of Yi Tian. He could not help but have some confidence in Yi Tian's strength.
Now, there was only slightly more than a year left before the Secret Territory Trial. Yan Jungang hoped that Yi Tian could use this time to cultivate to the late stage of Level 9 or even the peak of Full Circle. That way, he would be more confident.
These were not things that Yi Tian needed to consider at the moment. The most important thing right now was to obtain the entrance ticket to the Secret Territory Trial.
According to past experience, each sect had a limited number of people who could enter the Secret Realm Trials that were held once every ten years.
Normally, the number of participants would be around 20. Since the Scarlet Sun Sect and the Medicine Valley were at the bottom of the six sects, their number of participants would be reduced by two.
Iron Sword Gate and White Bone Gate were the strongest, so they would have two more spots.
On the surface, the Scarlet Sun Sect would have 18 spots. However, the cultivator families that were affiliated to the sect would also have 3 spots, leaving only 15 spots for the sect.
After that, the Artifact Hall, the Alchemy Hall, and the Commandment Hall would each have one spot.
The remaining ten spots would be allocated according to the rankings of the Qi Condensation Sects Competition that was held once every ten years.
Unless there was someone in front of them who was unwilling to enter the Secret Territory Trial, then the spot would be extended to the next person.
The last two spots were usually allocated among the Jin Dan cultivators, such as the inner sect disciples.
Ye Ziyan's batch probably would not have any use for them. They had only cultivated for about five years, so it would be very impressive if they could reach the sixth stage of Qi Condensation.
This time, the spots should be given to the previous batch of Spirit Children.
After all, not every Jin Dan Patriarch could be as thick-skinned as Master Ning Qingyuan to directly ask for Foundation Establishment Pills from the Alchemy Hall.
Moreover, Yi Tian did not believe that the Head of the Alchemy Hall would not be able to squeeze some benefits out of his Master.
From Yan Jungang's words, Yi Tian could tell that he did not need to worry about the spots.
At most, he would use one of the Commandment Hall's spots, as long as Yi Tian cultivated well during this period of time.
However, Yi Tian did not want to rely on the Commandment Hall for everything.
Moreover, as a Weapon Refiner from the Artifact Hall, if he used the Commandment Hall's spot, it would be strange if people did not suspect that there was an inside story.
Right now, the two of them were secretly investigating the supper incident. If the suspicious people were alerted because of the spots, then it would be very difficult for Yi Tian to dig deeper in the future.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Yi Tian said, "I will participate in the sect's annual competition and then get a spot in the Artifact Hall. If I can't do it, then I will go to the sect's competition. The Commandment Hall's spot can be left for last in case of emergencies."
After Yan Jungang heard this, he also nodded. This way, it would be better to avoid suspicion.
After returning to the sect, Yi Tian directly went to the Mission Hall to hand in the mission scroll. Looking at the sect's jade token, he found that not only had this year's mission been completed, but it had also exceeded the quota.
After asking, he found out that this mission was worth a thousand sect contribution points.
Although it was only setting up the formation and not participating in the battle, Yi Tian still received two hundred points.
This time, Yi Tian could focus all his energy on cultivation. However, as soon as he returned home, he received a message from Qi Haosi.
He hoped that he could participate in this year's annual competition and get first place in the Qi Refinement Realm's competition. There would be an unexpected surprise.
Yi Tian had already found out from Yan Jungang that the spots for the previous trials were determined through the annual competition. Usually, it was given to the first place.
In the past, the annual competition had always been between He Xinsheng and Ning Yuxuan, and both of them had won and lost.
However, Ning Yuxuan would definitely be absent during this year's annual meeting to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm. That was why Qi Haosi had asked him to deal with He Xinsheng. It seemed that the relationship between these two senior brothers was really bad.
This time, he made a move for himself. Since he was being used as a tool, he would let them see how powerful he was so that they wouldn't keep thinking about him. Moreover, He Xinsheng definitely wanted to meet up with the Seven Evil Witch after entering the secret realm. If he didn't eliminate his weakness now, when would he be able to do so?
Not letting Qi Haosi down, Yi Tian agreed immediately. He also asked him to help him sign up. He would definitely show up on time. After sending the message, Yi Tian returned to his cultivation state.
Half a year later, all the blacksmiths in the Weapon Hall sat together. This year's annual competition was also more lively. The head of the hall, Ning Qingyuan, also asked a few more questions to the blacksmiths in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
According to the usual practice, Ning Qingyuan would leave directly, and then his eldest disciple, Pei Ming, would host the competition in the Weapon Hall. However, it was different this year. Ning Qingyuan actually stayed and personally commented on the works of the blacksmiths in the Foundation Establishment Realm. He also gave pointers in person, which benefited these people a lot.
Yi Tian, who was sitting below, was indifferent to these things. He was still thinking about how to defeat He Xinsheng this time. Last time, he was plotted against by He Xinsheng. He should have gotten back his face in the battle in the Red River Valley.
Unfortunately, his luck was not bad. He really didn't know what happened to make He Miao the scapegoat. However, since he couldn't take his skin today, he would take back some interest first. Yi Tian turned his head to look at He Xinsheng in the front row. He sneered in his heart. 'I'll let you be arrogant for a while. You'll cry later.'
After the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators finished the competition, it was the Qi Refining Realm cultivators' turn to show their faces. Many people had already heard about the first prize of the competition in the Weapon Hall, so everyone was eager to have a try. The opportunity was right in front of them. If they didn't fight for it, who knew if they would succeed? Moreover, there was one less competitor this year. Now, all the Qi Refining Realm cultivators were pointing their spears at He Xinsheng. It was his fault for being so high-profile in the past few years.
After the 16 people went up, everyone took their places. Looking at the materials in front of them, they weren't surprised. It was said that the most basic things could tell a person's level the best.
After Pei Ming said 'Start', the 16 people started to make a fire, then took out the materials and started to smelt the copper and iron ingots. It was Yi Tian's first time participating in the competition, so he was assigned to the last seat. Just now, when Qi Haosi saw him go up, his eyes lit up. Yi Tian also nodded in response, indicating that there was no problem.
Yi Tian saw that He Xinsheng, who was sitting in the first seat, had already begun to show off. The flame in his hand had already risen to a height of three feet. After injecting spirit qi into the flame, the color of the flame turned deep red. Yi Tian only curled his lips. It was just refining, was there a need to do this? No matter how good he was at showing off, why didn't he go on stage to perform? In the end, the quality of the copper and iron ingots was the most important thing.
Then, his right hand touched the fire in the furnace. After injecting spirit qi, he controlled the fire to half a foot high. Then, he put the materials in according to his ratio and started to smelt.
Seeing that Yi Tian was refining the copper and iron ingots in an orderly manner, Qi Haosi was anxious. Why wasn't this junior brother nervous at all? He Xinsheng was almost done, but Yi Tian was still smelting. In terms of speed, he was already at a disadvantage. He turned to look at his eldest senior brother, Pei Ming, and saw that he was indeed at ease. It seemed that there was no suspense in this competition.
Ning Qingyuan, who was sitting in the middle, opened his eyes and glanced at He Xinsheng in the first row. Then, he looked at Yi Tian in the last seat with interest and smiled unconsciously.
After 45 minutes, He Xinsheng was the first to finish smelting. He handed his work to the disciple in charge and then sat back to wait for the evaluation. Pei Ming took the one-foot copper and iron ingot and looked at it. He wrote a comment on the paper and then handed it to Qi Haosi. At the same time, he looked at Yi Tian with a proud expression.
Qi Haosi took the ingot and weighed it in his hand. Then, he looked at the quality and had no choice but to write a comment. After the two of them handed their evaluation and works to Ning Qingyuan, Pei Ming suggested that the first place this year should still be awarded to He Xinsheng. Meanwhile, Qi Haosi turned his head to the side and didn't say a word.
Who knew that Ning Qingyuan just glanced at it and said, "Not bad." Then, he closed his eyes and rested. Since the chief didn't say anything, Pei Ming couldn't overstep his boundaries. He had to sit back and wait for the following contestants to submit their works.
After two hours, the remaining 15 people all handed in their works. Pei Ming and Qi Haosi screened and evaluated them one by one. Most of them were rated as superior, and occasionally, there were middle-superior ones.
When Yi Tian handed his slightly black copper and iron ingot to Pei Ming, it was already the last one. After receiving the copper and iron ingot, Pei Ming weighed it. It seemed to be much heavier than the others, and it seemed to be a few kilograms heavier than He Xinsheng's.
The quality of the copper and iron ingot was obviously because the ratio of smelting was wrong. The copper essence was less than the iron essence. He wondered if this junior brother cut corners. Looking at his appearance, he didn't think that he would play tricks in front of the chief. After touching it, he felt that it felt the best. Then, he wrote the word "superior" on the paper and handed it to Qi Haosi.
After taking the black iron ingot, Qi Haosi's face also cramped. What was this smelting? Except for the weight, it couldn't compare with it. It seemed that this time, he had too high expectations for his junior brother. He weakly wrote the word "superior" on the paper and then put the evaluation results and all the works in front of the chief, waiting for Ning Qingyuan's instructions.
