After the Moon Gazing Rhinoceros incident, Yi Tian hurried back to his cave and began his closed-door cultivation. During this period of time, he would only go out when he received orders from the Inspection Office.
After completing his mission, he would rush back to his cave. In the eyes of others, he looked like an ascetic cultivator.
As for his subordinate Hua Yuxin, Yi Tian kept a respectful distance from her. Now that he understood her background, he knew that she was only here to gain experience. Usually, when he received a mission, he wouldn't care if she could complete it or not. He would do his best to ensure her safety.
He was also very clear that if he failed a mission, he would at most be scolded by his superiors or lose some contribution points. If anything happened to this girl, he wouldn't be able to continue living in Sunset City.
Time passed quickly. Just like this, 70 to 80 years passed. Finally, under the investment of large amounts of resources, Hua Yuxin's cultivation reached the middle stage of the Yuanying Realm. In addition, with the help of her Spirit Pet, the Diamond Demon Ape, she could directly crush any cultivator below the Spirit Severing Realm.
Facing an early Spirit Severing Realm cultivator, she could be considered evenly matched. In front of a mid Spirit Severing Realm cultivator, she could also protect herself.
At the same time, Yi Tian relied on his smithing skills to secretly leave behind many high-grade human-tier spirit tools. Most of the rewards were exchanged for cultivation resources or raw materials and stored away.
Many years ago, he started to prepare the materials to refine the Li Flame Fan. Until now, he only lacked an additional material called True Fire Gold. This was originally an earth-tier material. On the surface, the Li Flame Palace was also collecting it everywhere. It was a necessary supplementary material to refine the Li Flame Secret Treasure.
Hence, it was almost impossible to find this material in the market. Those who were interested would have long collected this material. Presumably, they could use it as a price to ask the Li Flame Palace for help.
Yi Tian didn't find anything in the past few decades. He also didn't dare to brazenly issue missions. In the end, he could only leave it as it was. Heavenly materials and earthly treasures were obtained by those who were fated. He remembered this logic in his heart. Now that he wasn't fated, it was useless to be anxious.
During this period of time, the Inspection Office would often have joint missions. Usually, a few small teams from the Human Banners would be dispatched together. Yi Tian, on the other hand, found out that every time he did such a mission, he would meet Lian Feixiong or Mei Xiner. After asking around, he found out that the two of them were also Hong Fei's retainers.
They had entered the Inspection Department through his connections, and after working together several times, they had gradually become familiar with each other.
After seventy to eighty years, his cultivation seemed to have reached the peak of the initial stage of Incarnation, but he had yet to reach the threshold of the middle stage. The matter of cultivation could not be rushed. Sometimes, if one could not overcome a hurdle, it could drag on for decades or even centuries.
Fortunately, the Eye of Truth had already been cultivated to the initial success stage. Now, it was very useful in making inscriptions. Furthermore, he was not far from reaching the next realm with his own efforts.
His Natal Cultivation Method, Li Fire Nine Transformations, was still at the fifth level. However, his usage of the Cultivation Method had improved tremendously compared to before he ascended. Although there were no signs of him reaching the next level, as long as he progressed step by step, he would be able to advance before the tribulation arrived.
It was Ri Yitian, who was cultivating in seclusion in the depths of his cave. Suddenly, the jade tablet in front of him flashed with light. He opened his eyes and frowned slightly. It was a message from Lian Feixiong. The message mentioned that he had found a Five Color Lotus. However, the guardian monster had some strength and wanted to invite him to help.
Originally, he had some friendship with Lian Feixiong over the years. They had cooperated many times on missions together. However, this was the first time they had gone treasure hunting together. After thinking about it, he first went through the details of the Five Color Lotus in his mind.
This spirit plant only grew in lakes with abundant spirit qi. Usually, it only had five petals, each of which was the same color, hence its name.
The most valuable part of the Five Color Lotus was its five petals. Apart from that, it was the lotus seed and lotus root. Yi Tian could not help but look at his spirit plant garden. He wondered what the white lotus roots at the bottom of the spirit pond had become.
These could all be used to refine pills. They were also quite beneficial to Spirit Severing cultivators.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian directly replied and slowly stood up. He tidied up the things in front of him and walked towards the cave entrance.
After an hour, a green light flashed above the southern gate of Luo Xia City. After the halo faded, Yi Tian's figure appeared. At this moment, there was a light not far in front of him. It was Lian Feixiong who had been waiting here.
After seeing him, Yi Tian cupped his hands and said, "I'm ashamed to have made Fellow Daoist Lian wait for so long."
"It's fine. I just arrived not long ago." Lian Feixiong smiled and said, "There is a Late Stage Deity Transformation crocodile lizard guarding the Five Color Lotus. It is a bit difficult for me to deal with it alone. With Brother Yi's help, it is naturally easy."
After hearing this, Yi Tian secretly thought in his heart. It would not be easy for two Early Stage Deity Transformation cultivators to deal with a Late Stage Deity Transformation crocodile lizard.
However, if they used a clever trick to lure it out of the cave, it would not be difficult for the other person to go and pick it. Although these monster beasts had gained intelligence, most of them still relied on their innate instincts. Therefore, they would always be at a disadvantage when fighting against human cultivators.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Lian have any ideas?"
After a moment of hesitation, Lian Feixiong embarrassedly said, "It is nothing more than luring the tiger away from the cave. I would like to ask Brother Yi to find a way to lure the crocodile lizard away. I will use the fastest speed to pick the Five Color Lotus. Once it is done, I will reward you greatly. "
Yi Tian had already expected this, but seeing Lian Feixiong say it without batting an eyelid, Yi Tian was deeply impressed by his thick skin. Although it wasn't difficult, there was still a bit of risk involved. He calmly looked at Lian Feixiong and didn't say anything.
Lian Feixiong knew that he was in the wrong, so he had to pay a bit of blood. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to invite him.
After thinking about it, he took out a jade box and handed it over. "This is the seedling of the Ninecurl Spirit Ginseng. Once it matures, it can be refined into the Ninecurl Spirit Congealing Pill that can be used by Deity Transformation cultivators. It has a miraculous effect on strengthening the soul and condensing the Yuanying Spirit Body."
This was the first time Yi Tian had heard of this pill. He then asked, "Fellow Daoist Lian is right, but without the pill recipe, even if you have the materials, it will be useless."
This time, it was Lian Feixiong's turn to smile and he replied, "The reward for inviting Brother Yi is the pill recipe for the Ninecurl Spirit Ginseng and Ninecurl Spirit Congealing Pill. Once it is done, I will make a copy of the pill recipe."
Hearing this, Yi Tian revealed a smile and said, "Alright, then let's do as Fellow Daoist Lian says. Let's quickly go and get the treasure."
Lian Feixiong was also a nimble character. After replying, he marked the location of the Five Colored Lotus on the map jade slip and showed it to Yi Tian. After a short while, the two of them rushed towards the southeast.
