Duan Liu briefly told Noda about the mission, but most of the time was spent chatting. He asked Ye Tian where he was from and talked about some embarrassing past events of Bai Kuo. Overall, the conversation was light and sincere, but not much of substance was discussed.
Feeling anxious, Ye Tian had to find an excuse to leave temporarily and agreed to meet at a designated location this afternoon to discuss the matter further with Bai Kuo at Azure Cloud Pavilion.
Although Duan Liu was not entirely satisfied with the conversation, he understood that he couldn't delay Ye Tian's important business. He reluctantly agreed and left first. However, after gaining the support of a direct disciple of the Lord, he clearly had no intention of seeking other help and leisurely went back to sleep.
Ye Tian felt helpless about this; Duan Liu had overestimated himself. According to his description, if it were just him along with Duan Liu and Bai Kuo, he wasn't confident they could complete the mission.
After watching Duan Liu leave, Ye Tian greeted the other disciples who were standing around before continuing on to Fence Courtyard.
As he left, Ye Tian noticed the expressions of the other disciples; they were filled with envy and frustration, seemingly regretting that Ye Tian was so easygoing while they missed this opportunity. They also envied Duan Liu's luck in befriending someone who was a direct disciple.
On this journey, Ye Tian did not stop again. Although he occasionally encountered a few scattered disciples, he merely exchanged greetings without any further conversation.
About the time it takes to burn an incense stick later, Ye Tian finally arrived at Fence Courtyard.
At this moment, both the courtyard door and house door were open, but there were no signs of anyone inside. Ye Tian walked straight in; Wine Kid was still lying on the bed and had not yet woken up. Xuanyuan Changfeng was indeed not in the room.
"Where has Master gone..." Ye Tian sat on the edge of the bed, mumbling to himself as he reached out to check Wine Kid's pulse.
Wine Kid's injury was located at his chest; if it had been just half an inch to the left, he would have undoubtedly died. Fortunately, that half-inch made all the difference, so he was only severely injured.
The pulse was steady, and his breathing was calm and prolonged. Although his complexion did not show significant improvement, it was clear that his injuries were slowly recovering in a positive direction.
"Right." Ye Tian suddenly remembered something and took out a Dan Pill from his waist pouch. He gently opened Wine Kid's jaw and placed the Dan Pill into his mouth.
"I don't know how effective it will be, but I've done my best," Ye Tian muttered to himself. The Dan Pill he had just used was the highest quality healing Dan Pill he possessed. Although he had sustained several serious injuries over the past year, he had never been willing to consume it. Now, with the Wine Kid injured, he unhesitatingly offered it up. The effect remained uncertain, but as Ye Tian said, he truly had done his best.
After taking the Dan Pill, the Wine Kid began to show signs of change after about a cup of tea's worth of time. His complexion started to redden, and his body trembled slightly, with his breathing becoming rapid.
Ye Tian remained calm; he was well-acquainted with the effects of Spiritual Pills. The Wine Kid's reaction was normal, indicating that the medicinal power of the Spiritual Pill was indeed effective and was currently nourishing his injuries.
After another incense stick's worth of time passed, the Wine Kid's symptoms gradually subsided until they disappeared completely. However, he still did not wake up. Despite the potency of the Spiritual Pill, it could not overcome the severity of the Wine Kid's injuries.
This situation was within Ye Tian's expectations, so he did not feel disappointed. He reached out again to check the Wine Kid's pulse and found it noticeably stronger than before, indicating that the Spiritual Pill had not been wasted.
A sense of relief washed over him. He would have been disheartened if this Dan Pill, which he was reluctant to use himself, had no effect after being given to the Wine Kid. Fortunately, that scenario did not occur; the medicinal power of the Dan Pill did not let Ye Tian down.
Feeling somewhat bored waiting, Ye Tian thought about having a sip of tea. However, when he glanced over, he noticed that Xuanyuan Changfeng's teapot had disappeared again. Since the Wine Kid was injured, he could be ruled out as a suspect; it seemed likely that Xuanyuan Changfeng had thrown away the teapot himself this time.
For someone who loved alcohol as much as life itself, seeing a teapot instead of a wine jug on the table was indeed quite distressing.
Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle at this thought. Just then, however, a sudden tremor shook the floor of the room. Ye Tian was startled and immediately thought it might be an earthquake.
But that thought was quickly dismissed because if it were an earthquake, it wouldn't only affect this small area of the house.
This sensation felt more like something movable existed beneath the floor and was currently shifting slowly.
Ye Tian furrowed his brow and stood up to carefully discern the source of the vibrations.
Clatter...
A sudden sound echoed, and then a small crack appeared in the ground on the west side of the room. The crack slowly widened, eventually forming a passage large enough for a person to walk through.
Ye Tian quickly stepped forward, looking down into the opening. There was a faint flicker of light inside; it seemed to be Xuanyuan Changfeng's underground chamber.
However, calling it a chamber might not be entirely accurate. Although the entrance was cleverly disguised and looked just like the floor, if it were truly a secret room, how could Xuanyuan Changfeng have entered without closing the door behind him? He was not someone who would be careless.
Ye Tian waited at the entrance for a moment, contemplating entering but ultimately refraining.
Footsteps gradually approached, and soon Xuanyuan Changfeng slowly walked out from within.
Upon seeing Ye Tian, Xuanyuan Changfeng was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and said, "What brings you here, kid?"
"Master, what is down there?" Ye Tian did not answer Xuanyuan Changfeng's question but instead asked about his curiosity.
Xuanyuan Changfeng laughed heartily at this and patted Ye Tian on the shoulder. "I really appreciate this about you—your straightforwardness is quite rare!"
Ye Tian indeed deserved this praise from Xuanyuan Changfeng. If it were an ordinary person who discovered someone else's secret, they would likely keep quiet and pretend to be unaware. But Ye Tian did not do that; he saw it and did not hide it. His curiosity was genuine, and he did not care whether he would get an answer or not. Even if he didn't receive one, he wouldn't spread the word about it.
"This is where I practice my skills; you will need to experience it down there in the future."
It was only when Xuanyuan Changfeng said this that Ye Tian noticed he was holding a teapot, presumably used for drinking while down below.
Ye Tian was about to ask, "Does Master also enjoy drinking tea now?" but before he could speak, a strong smell of alcohol wafted from the teapot. Ye Tian suddenly understood and couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Changfeng was not embarrassed and laughed heartily. "Once this Wine Kid wakes up, we will break this rule together. Life without wine is truly difficult to endure; even I can hardly manage it, let alone a child of eleven or twelve."
Xuanyuan Changfeng laughed heartily, seemingly aware that his reasoning was not very convincing.
"However, to be honest, after my consideration, quitting drinking cannot change Wine Kid; it can only have the opposite effect," Xuanyuan Changfeng said seriously after his laughter subsided.
Ye Tian nodded, noncommittal to his words. Although quitting drinking would indeed have some effect, it was merely a superficial solution.
"By the way, what brings you here?" Xuanyuan Changfeng finally remembered the important matter.
"I have something I want to ask Master," Ye Tian's face involuntarily showed a hint of excitement and anticipation.
"Oh? You seem to be in a good mood. Have you encountered some happy event?" Xuanyuan Changfeng said as he poured Ye Tian a cup of wine.
Ye Tian took the cup and drank it all in one go. While wine was precious to Xuanyuan Changfeng, it held no special significance for Ye Tian.
Seeing Ye Tian gulp it down without savoring it, Xuanyuan Changfeng clicked his tongue in frustration and said, "Kid, do you even understand wine? This exquisite drink is meant to be savored. Sigh... you are simply wasting it..."
"Exquisite drink..." Ye Tian was taken aback. The term clearly referred to the wine's name, but honestly, the feeling he had after drinking it was that it wasn't even as good as the cheap rice wine sold on the streets at the Tavern.
"Forget it, you're not one of us," Xuanyuan Changfeng waved his hand helplessly and said, "Now, what do you want to ask?"
"Master, I want to learn the method to unlock the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique," Ye Tian said with burning eyes.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Changfeng's previously relaxed expression suddenly turned serious as he asked in surprise, "Why?"
"I just want to learn. As you mentioned, what I possess within me is Crimson Dragon Golden Blood; its power must be unmatched. I'm a bit impatient," Ye Tian said, clenching his fists tightly, his face filled with excitement and anticipation.
Ye Tian looked at Xuanyuan Changfeng, waiting for the Master to impart his teachings.
However, Xuanyuan Changfeng's reaction disappointed Ye Tian. After a long pause, lasting almost the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he finally spoke again, his tone serious: "It's not possible right now."
"Why?!" Ye Tian asked in surprise.
"With your current strength, you cannot control the power of the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood. It's not difficult to activate it, but if you lose control, the consequences are unimaginable," Xuanyuan Changfeng said, gazing into the distance as if recalling a terrifying experience.
"Is there really such a situation..." Ye Tian lowered his head, feeling a wave of disappointment. However, he believed Xuanyuan Changfeng's words and could genuinely sense the uncontrollable nature of the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood; the Bagua Thunder Palm was a perfect example.
"Master, what level of strength do I need to reach to activate the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood safely?" After feeling downcast, Ye Tian pressed on.
"I don't know that either, but at the very least, even I cannot fully master such powerful blood," Xuanyuan Changfeng shook his head helplessly, seemingly sharing in Ye Tian's disappointment.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian fell silent. Achieving the level of strength that Xuanyuan Changfeng possessed was already challenging enough. Moreover, from what he said, even reaching that level might not guarantee control over such immense power.
Just as Ye Tian was engulfed in despair, Xuanyuan Changfeng suddenly seemed to remember something, a deep focus appearing on his brow.
"However, I do have a method..."
