Chapter 256 Questioning
Although Shanjian City is under the jurisdiction of the Tianmo Sect, spies from both factions are hidden everywhere here. Yi Tian estimates that the news of his appearance at the auction will be spread back to Tianjian City within three days.
In this case, there is no need to hide anything anymore, not to mention that Yin Jie recognized him before, so it would be better to accept it openly.
When the auction ended, Yin Jie actually sent a message and wanted to communicate with Yi Tian privately. Yi Tian could not deny this and nodded in agreement.
After the two agreed on a time and place to meet, they left the venue. Yi Tian also had Hong Luanjing to deal with. It was obvious that she had redeemed her favorite treasures in this auction, so the trip was finally worth it.
The two of them left the venue through a side door and came to the street. After a while, Yi Tian said directly: "Fellow Daoist Hong, I have some personal matters to deal with. Why don't you go back to Zhaoyang City first? I estimate that you will be there three or four days late."
."
Hong Luanjing smiled and said: "Looking at you, you should be going to see Huo Chilian. I guess you have known each other for a long time. He helped you so much at the auction just now, shouldn't you also vote for Li Baoxiao?"
After being told about the center, Yi Tian replied without changing his face: "There is something to be dealt with. Is Fellow Daoist Hong interested in staying and listening?"
Seeing that Yi Tian was trying to drive people away, Hong Luanjing was also a monk with high emotional intelligence, so she left a jade badge of Zhaoyang City status and left in a hurry.
After bidding farewell to Hong Luanjing, Yi Tian slowly walked to an inn-like store in the north of the city. He looked up and read the sign 'Lian Yun Ke', which should be the contact point left by Yin Jie.
As soon as he walked forward, he was immediately greeted by people working in the store. After Yi Tian reported Yin Jie's name directly, the waiter visibly trembled. Then the shopkeeper from the store came out and introduced Yi Tian to the back compartment.
After passing through several doors, Yi Tian came to a courtyard and heard the shopkeeper say: "Uncle Yin is inside, please help yourself." After saying that, he led his servants and left quickly.
Looking around, Yin Jie is quite good at choosing a place. Although this place is in Shanjian City, there are obviously some defensive formations surrounding it. If you guessed correctly, it should be the contact point of the Shenjian Sect here.
After all, you can't blatantly divide your own territory on the other side's territory, but privately using industry as a cover can be regarded as an unspoken rule between various sects.
Pushing open the door, there is a ten-foot-wide courtyard, filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, which is incompatible with the gray tone of the entire Shanjian City.
In the middle of the yard is a three-part wing room with the living room open. There is a table in the main hall with four chairs around it. Yin Jie is sitting there alone with a cup of tea in his hand and drinking to himself. When he sees Yi Tian
When he arrived, he hurriedly stood up to greet him and said, "Master Yi is indeed a man of his word. Please take a seat."
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine the other party was selling in his gourd, and he reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man, Yi Tian walked in with a smile, sat down on the seat opposite him, and then replied: "I wonder what Senior Brother Yin is doing here?"
Yin Jie was not in a hurry to talk, he just reached out and picked up the teacup and teapot on the table, poured a cup and then gestured for tea. Yi Tian was not polite, just picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, and suddenly felt a refreshing spiritual energy.
Rinse the stomach.
It seemed that I would make a fool of myself, so I had to sit down and quickly exercise my power to resolve it. After a short while, I found that the spiritual power in my Dantian was a little stronger.
Unexpectedly, this tea is also effective for Jindan monks, which reminds me of the scene in the Chiyang Sect. After being slightly distracted, Yi Tian turned around and said, "I don't know why Senior Brother Yin came here in such a hurry,"
Without knowing the details, Yi Tian would not simply think that the other party just came to have tea with him, there must be something else going on.
Yin Jie smiled and replied: "I am from the Excalibur Sect Law Enforcement Hall. I invited Master Yi to come here this time because I want to confirm something old with you." He casually took out a bronze medal and put it on the table.
Yi Tian looked at the other party in confusion, only to hear Yin Jie continue to say: "I will only ask three questions. Master Yi can answer them with the bronze medal in hand."
When the matter came to a close, Yi Tian could also guess that the function of the bronze medal should be like a lie detector. If his answer was not true, the bronze medal would definitely react.
After thinking for a while, he picked it up and said to Yin Jie: "Senior Brother Yin, it's okay to ask, I know everything I know and tell me." With this confidence, Yi Tian probably guessed that the person the other party wanted to trace was Wei Xuanbai.
The cause of his death, after all, he was still the successor of the core disciple that the Shenjian Sect spent great efforts to cultivate.
He died in such an unexplained way, and the sect had to give an explanation both emotionally and rationally. In this way, it was reasonable to come to Yi Tian.
Yin Jie asked seriously: "Why did Master Yi leave in such a hurry after the Tianjian City celebration about twenty years ago?"
"I have been introduced by Elder Zheng Rutong to rent a cave in Fujun Mountain to form elixirs," Yi Tian replied without changing his expression.
Yin Jie looked at the bronze medal, nodded and then asked, "Why didn't Master Yi go to Fujun Mountain to form elixirs again?"
"At that time, I was invited by someone to handle something, but something unexpected happened, so I couldn't rush to Fujin Mountain in a hurry."
Yin Jie then asked: "Was Wei Xuanbai killed by Master Yi?"
Hearing this, Yi Tian also panicked. It was true that Wei Xuanbai was attacked by him in the past, but in the end it was Huo Chilian who caught him with a last-ditch attack. Strictly speaking, he was an accomplice at most, but he didn't know what this bronze medal would do to him.
How to react to the answer.
After a pause, Yi Tian replied: "I was present when Wei Xuan died, but there was someone else who killed him."
Yin Jie stared at the bronze medal for a long time without noticing anything unusual. Then he smiled and said to Yi Tianda: "Master Yi is offended. I have finished asking my questions."
At this time, Yi Tian pretended to be calm and put down the bronze medal slowly, but cold sweat broke out on his back. If Yin Jie continued to chase and question him, there would probably be some clues.
After a pause, Yin Jie looked at Yi Tian with a half-smile but not a smile, which made him tremble. Later, he said: "In fact, the sect has already identified the murderer through the natal spiritual lamp left by Wei Xuanbai. Master Yi must be present.
He should know the inside story."
Yi Tian nodded at this, but in his heart he said, "I can't blame Huo Chi Lian. Anyone who asks you to take action will directly kill people."
Yin Jie dipped his index finger into some tea and wrote the word "fire" on the table. Yi Tian looked at it in surprise, and then sighed.
"Master Yi, don't worry. The sect will not compete with a master who can compete with the top three weapon refiners for a promising direct disciple."
Yi Tianping regained his composure and said, "I know this. He is the weapon refiner who has the best chance of defeating Hong Luanjing in the past hundred years. I wonder if the sect will still rely on him in the future."
"That's it. I came here this time just to contact him and ease the relationship. As for the sect's wanted order, it has been withdrawn a long time ago. Wei Xuanbai's sect has also been dealt with, and they don't dare to violate it.
That’s what it means,” Yin Jie said calmly.
In this large sect, interests still take precedence, and Yi Tian has seen through it, but he is not immune to it as he is in it.
After a moment of silence, Yin Jie smiled and filled up the tea for Yi Tian again, and then said: "Actually, Wei Xuanbai's death had a negative impact on the competition between the Divine Sword Sect and the Tianmo Sect, and even affected some of the subsequent events.
That’s why the higher-ups never forget about it.”
"What is the impact? I would like to hear the details." Although Yi Tian knew the results of the competition, he never knew what would be involved later.
Yin Jie straightened his expression and said: "The result of this foundation building competition will directly affect the quota allocated by the Holy Spring."
It turned out that this was a murder caused by the two sects competing for the quota. Yi Tian deeply despised the Jindan monks of the two sects. In order to compete for the quota, he asked his disciples to fight against each other. This time, the Tianmo Sect probably occupied the quota.
The big head.
However, this matter didn't seem to have anything to do with Yi Tian. On the contrary, Yin Jie was very excited when he talked about the distribution of the holy spring. He didn't know what was wrong in it. Then he asked: "I wonder what the effect of this holy spring is?
"
Speaking of this, Yin Jie replied with a look of longing: "Every hundred years after someone comes from the Tianyun Sect, the most potential monks, alchemists and weapon refiners in the Western Wilderness will be tested. This holy spring is jointly guarded by the three sects.
In the Rain Temple, twenty portions of spring water can be distributed every hundred years. Except for the top three in each land ranking, the remaining eleven places are allocated by three sects, the Maiden Sect, the Divine Sword Sect and the Demon Sect.
There are two fixed quotas, and the remaining five will be determined by the results of the foundation-building competition between the two factions every twenty years."
According to Yin Jie, the two factions hold a foundation-building competition every twenty years just for the remaining five places. It is held exactly five times in a hundred years. Of course, each foundation-building monk can only participate once, and it is also the successor of the two factions.
A test of strength.
However, when I heard that the monks from the two factions were fighting to the death for a spot of holy spring water, it was obvious that the benefits that the golden elixir monks could gain from this were extraordinary.
Yi Tian didn't understand this and simply asked directly: "Brother Yin, I wonder what the use of this holy spring water is."
This was a good idea. Yin Jie looked fascinated and thought about it for a while. It was not until he heard Yi Tian coughing that he came back to his senses and said: "Master Yi, you don't know something. The holy spring water in the Rain Temple is harmful to the rain temple."
Golden elixir monks have great benefits. Generally speaking, they can help golden elixir monks cleanse their spiritual power. In addition, some lucky monks can take this opportunity to improve their golden elixir grade."
Hearing this, Yi Tiancai finally understood the reason. Fortunately, he had the sect's Nine Transformations of Golden Pills, a heaven-defying magic formula. Otherwise, if he only relied on the eighth-grade golden pill he had formed to break through the pill, he could
Being a baby is nothing more than wishful thinking.
At the same time, he quietly used his spiritual consciousness to look inside his Dantian. He saw that the bumpy golden elixir in the middle was still slowly rotating, and it had become a bit round, with all the edges and corners all round.
has disappeared.
Now Yi Tian will stop to practice the Nine Transformations of the Golden Pill whenever he has free time. After several years of continuous practice, his Golden Pill has been improved by one level.
If he could get the help of the holy spring water, he might be able to greatly speed up the results of his cultivation. The matter of polishing the golden elixir has always been Yi Tian's heartache. If it hadn't been for the untimely appearance of the Seal Thunder Tribulation, he would have been proud of his peers by now.
The first-grade golden elixir.
Having said that, I decided to fight for it, and then asked with a sincere face: "I wonder, Senior Brother Yin, do you know if there are any opportunities for a sect like me to be worshiped?"
Yin Jie then responded with a half-smiling look and said: "Master Yi just realized that this holy spring is a huge opportunity. Generally speaking, except for the key training targets in the sect, the only way is to compete for the place list."
Only the first three are acceptable.”
"It's like Hong Luanjing has won the first place on the earth rankings once. If she wins the championship again this time, can she use the spring water again?" Yi Tian asked puzzledly.
"Haha, she has a good plan," Yin Jie snorted coldly: "Originally, this was reserved for the top three on the list. Unfortunately, the holy spring water can only be used once, but it can't stop others from taking the spring water with them after they win the list.
Return to the sect and give it to the brothers and sisters."
No wonder Hong Luanjing is so keen to help Yan Zhaoxue refine the alchemy furnace this time. In the end, it is not just to compete for the quota of the holy spring water. Even if she gives it to a fellow sect, she will earn a huge favor, I guess
