Chapter 2272: Keeping a Low Profile and Refining Treasures
Time flies, and March has passed.
After the Black Dragon Ancestor returned in embarrassment, Black Dragon Mountain seemed to have calmed down. However, with the exposure of the Ji Sword Immortal City, the relationship between Black Dragon Mountain and the Ximen Family dropped to a freezing point, and Jade Cauldron Mountain was also involved.
As the backer behind Black Dragon Mountain, if something like this happened, the top management of Yuding Mountain would naturally stand up and support him. Although there is no conclusive evidence that Gu Yihan died at the hands of the Ximen family, given the current situation, the suspicion is the highest. Therefore, Yuding Mountain had to send strong men to negotiate, and even directly stopped the supply of elixirs to Ji Sword Immortal City.
As the number one family of sword cultivators, the Ximen family is also a reputable existence in the entire spiritual world. In addition, the sword cultivators are naturally aloof and arrogant, so they naturally do not want to take the blame for no reason. Therefore, the two sides argued with each other and got into trouble several times. If they break up, even if there is no direct war, there is a strong tendency to develop into hostility.
In addition, as the person involved, the Black Dragon Ancestor failed to take revenge in public, and was even frightened by Ximen Ye's few words and ran away. He has long been a laughing stock in the public, and the reputation of Black Dragon Mountain has also been greatly damaged.
But no matter how chaotic the external situation was, Qin Tian, as the instigator, returned to Burning Heaven Holy City leisurely and even went into seclusion in Juyuan Mountain Cave Mansion with peace of mind.
Due to his limited strength, he, Mr. Qin, has no time to worry about world affairs. As the saying goes, if the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up. If those old monsters like to make noises, let them make noises. He only needs to guard one-third of an acre of land and feel at ease. Just keep practicing.
But in just three months of retreat, the effect was quite remarkable.
Since this breakthrough came naturally, and he also survived a rare extreme catastrophe, Qin Tian's foundation is as deep as ever. It only took three months to completely stabilize his cultivation state, and at the same time, his whole body was restored. The true essence was condensed again.
As a result, the strength has increased slightly.
After the three-month period passed, Qin Tian finally called it a day and stepped out of the secret room. However, he did not choose to leave immediately. Instead, he sat in front of the hall and drank tea quietly, as if waiting for something.
However, when night fell, the formation outside the temporary cave was indeed touched, and then an old man with a wretched appearance but richly dressed stepped in. He was the Wuwei Sanren who had been conquered that long ago.
I haven't seen him for a long time, but the old man's cultivation has improved quite a lot. He is not too far away from the late stage of spiritual transformation. However, it is limited by his qualifications and foundation. It is probably not easy to cultivate the void.
After arriving at the scene, old man Wuwei didn't hesitate at all. He started to salute and pay homage as soon as he came up. At the same time, he flirted with others for a while, focusing on an eloquent person:
"The little old man has met your Majesty. I congratulate you on your great progress in cultivation. With your extraordinary talents, it will be just around the corner to join the body. I am not very talented, but it is my great fortune to be able to serve your Majesty. .........!"
"Your Majesty, you don't know that during your absence, little old man, I couldn't sleep at night. I couldn't stay with your Majesty, and I always felt that I couldn't sleep well... !”
As he spoke, the old man Wuwei had a solemn expression, as if he wished he could go to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire. Words of allegiance came out of his mouth, but his rogue eyes were wandering around, and he was not a serious person at first glance.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian couldn't help but roll his eyes.
After knowing each other for many years, how could he not know what this bad old man is like? That is definitely a person who has no profit and cannot afford to stay early. He talks so impassionedly. It must be because money is tight recently and he urgently needs some goods to make ends meet.
But Qin Tian didn't care about minor details. Anyway, he had plenty of Yuanshi and wealth. He just needed a flexible and reliable subordinate to help him deal with some trivial matters.
The old man Wuwei, who has been in the market for many years, has rich experience in deception and abduction, and has passed the test, is naturally his best choice.
Therefore, Qin Tian did not care too much, but asked slightly curiously:
"How do you, an old guy like you, know that I have made great progress in my cultivation?"
