Ye Tian no longer discussed the matter, instead asking her, "Where is your friend David?"
Han Lingyan replied, "Him? He went out to have fun, the disloyal fellow."
Ye Tian said, "In about another week, you'll be fully recovered. You can spend more time walking around these days."
Han Lingyan smiled, "The environment here is truly wonderful. Can I stay here for my business trips in the future?"
Ye Tian replied, "No problem."
That evening, Ye Tian prepared the medicine in advance and then drove to the capital. The cultivation exchange conference was about to begin, and he wanted to get there early. He brought a few paintings and the silver vase with him when he left.
By the time he arrived at the grand mansion in the capital, it was already past two in the morning. Bai Yu and Ziqing quickly got up to serve him, bringing tea and water. The servants also began to stir, awaiting his commands. There were over a dozen people working in the entire estate.
Ye Tian told them to go back and rest, not to mind him. He carried the silver vase to the study and continued to open his spiritual aperture.
With his previous experience, he finally made progress this time. The spiritual energy in his body increased, and finally, under his control, it condensed into a long spear, which he fiercely thrust towards the spiritual aperture.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar erupted from Ye Tian's body, like a thunderclap from the heavens, shaking the earth and startling the nearby residents. They wondered why there was thunder on such a clear day.
Subsequently, Ye Tian discovered that the spiritual aperture had been opened by him, and purple-gold spiritual energy continuously poured into it. The spiritual aperture was like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing the purple-gold spiritual energy.
Unbeknownst to him, at that moment, over a dozen experts in the capital were mobilized, searching everywhere.
"What was that sound?" In a residential house, a group of experts gathered, and one of them asked.
"I suspect someone has opened a spiritual aperture!"
"Investigate immediately! A person with an opened spiritual aperture, a Human Immortal, is no trivial matter. We must find him!"
"Quickly, use your divine sense to search and locate this person!"
Ye Tian now opened the valve to its maximum, continuously outputting purple-gold spiritual energy. When the spiritual aperture had absorbed the last trace of purple-gold spiritual energy, he felt a sense of fullness, as if his body contained primordial power, giving him unprecedented confidence!
Just then, he felt a divine sense sweep over him. Startled, he quickly concealed his aura. The divine sense merely scanned superficially and did not notice Ye Tian before quickly disappearing.
Opening a spiritual aperture meant that Ye Tian now possessed spiritual power. Spiritual power could be used for many things, such as drawing talismans, refining pills, and casting spells. All of these could be driven by spiritual power. It could be said that after opening the spiritual aperture, he was truly a Human Immortal!
He continued to cultivate. Spiritual energy began to seep from the spiritual aperture and fuse with his true energy, forming spiritual power!
True energy and spiritual power were fundamentally different. With spiritual power, he could do more.
Before he knew it, dawn arrived. After absorbing the essence of the sun, Huang Yanran appeared.
She smiled, "I thought you wouldn't come yesterday. Today is Wednesday, the first day of the cultivator exchange conference. Shall we go?"
Ye Tian asked, "You're going too?"
Huang Yanran replied, "One ticket allows for a plus one. I also want to see what it's like."
Ye Tian shrugged, "Alright, let's go together."
There was a driver in the mansion, in his forties, with excellent driving skills, surnamed Xia. Ye Tian called him Old Xia. Old Xia drove them to a stadium. At the entrance, someone checked tickets. Ye Tian presented the ticket Huang Yanran had given him. The ticket checker made a brief record, and they entered.
The stadium was quite large, capable of holding over sixty thousand people. However, there weren't many attendees. They sat scattered in different places, in small groups.
Ye Tian didn't know many people there, so he pulled Huang Yanran and sat in the seventh row.
Huang Yanran asked, "Aren't you going to greet them?"
Ye Tian replied, "We don't know each other well. Forcing a greeting would be awkward."
She smiled, "I thought all you martial artists had extensive connections."
Ye Tian glanced around and saw that most of the people present had no cultivation. He said, "I'm not that idle."
Huang Yanran explained, "Some of these people come from famous mountains and ancient temples, while others come from cultivation families. For grand events like this, major factions will send people to connect with eminent individuals from various regions."
At that moment, a young man in a red Tang suit walked in and sat in the sixth row. Behind him followed four men and four women, who appeared to be attendants. The four men stood behind him without sitting. The four women were all very beautiful, around twenty years old, and squatted on either side, awaiting orders.
Seeing this, Huang Yanran snorted, "Not old, but putting on airs."
Ye Tian glared at her, "Don't mind other people's business."
