In the end, Ye Guoliang told Shi Tian how he got injured and lost his cultivation. Turned out Shi Tian was wrong about him. He was not a member of some big clan; rather, Ye Guoliang used to be a rogue cultivator. His talent was superb; he joined a sect at a young age and shone brightly in the sect.
He made some strong enemies and offended someone he shouldn't have.
Shi Tian knew that Ye Guoliang hadn't told the entire story, hiding some things. Though curious, Shi Tian didn't force it. Anyway, he had just met the man, and he didn't know him personally. He was only interested in him because of his talent, he could be useful.
He lacks a personal carriage, he can't move around everywhere on his feet with his girls. Ye Guoliang has good talent, Shi Tian could turn him into a strong expert. If he was ready to become his subordinate as a carriage driver, Shi Tian wouldn't mind spending some money to restore his cultivation; in return, he would get a Martial King master subordinate.
"Ye Guoliang, if I say I can restore your dantian as well as your cultivation, will you believe me?" Shi Tian looked at him and said.
"This?" Ye Guoliang was stunned. Something that could restore his dantian and cultivation would undoubtedly be very precious and very hard to find in the world. Ordinary people couldn't dream of getting it.
"Can you?"
"Naturally, I guarantee it. I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise, but it won't be free and definitely not cheap." Shi Tian said, a soft smile on his face.
"Young Master, what do you want from me in exchange?" Ye Guoliang understood his meaning: nothing comes free in the world. Although he knew he couldn't afford it, he still wanted to know the price while having a little hope in his heart.
"You see, my girls and I didn't have a carriage to travel around. I will give it to you in exchange for your service. How about becoming my driver? I am asking you to work for me for your entire life; ten years should be enough." Shi Tian said. He thought Ye Guoliang wouldn't be willing to become his servant for a lifetime, but ten years might be worth considering.
"This is all I have to do in exchange? This can't be so simple." Ye Guoliang was stunned. Not because the price was high, but actually it was too low in his view. The cultivators have longer lifetimes, ten years was not much to him.
"Yes, that is all. But you have to sign an absolute loyalty contract with me, but rest assured I won't tell you to do something that is beyond your limits." Shi Tian said as he further explained himself.
Ye Guoliang fell into thought after hearing his demands. He couldn't help but become suspicious inwardly; the conditions offered by Shi Tian were too good. Basically, he had to do a job for him for ten years, and he would get healing treasure in return.
Ye Guoliang knew that even if he searched for decades, he wouldn't be able to find this type of healing treasure on his own. This was a godsend opportunity, he had to grasp it.
"Young Master, if this is all, then I am willing to become your driver for ten years." Ye Guoliang said.
"Good!" Shi Tian was pleased with his response, then he took out a contract from his storage ring. This was not a simple paper but a soul contract, a rare contract; whoever breaches this contract, their soul will be heavily injured.
After a while, Shi Tian handed Ye Guoliang the contract after writing all the conditions and clauses.
Ye Guoliang took the contract and read it carefully. When he saw that he had to remain absolutely loyal to Shi Tian for the next ten years, he felt slightly conflicted. He used to be a rogue cultivator and loves his freedom. Many forces tried to win him over but remained fruitless. Thinking about his current conditions, he gritted his teeth and signed the contract.
After he signed the contract, he felt some connection forming with the young man in front of him, putting some shackles on his soul.
"I can guarantee that you won't regret this decision." Shi Tian was satisfied with the attitude of Ye Guoliang and said.
Ye Guoliang neither agreed nor denied. As long as he gets his dantian restored and cultivation back, he will not become someone's lackey for ten years. And he also had other thoughts in his mind, according to his understanding, Shi Tian came out to gain experience, soon he would return home, at that time, he would gain his freedom.
At this time, Shi Tian took out a small vial and casually tossed it at Ye Guoliang.
What is this?" Ye Guoliang caught the vial and asked curiously. As it was thrown by him so casually, he didn't think too much.
"This is an eight rank pill that can restore your dantian, also restoring some of your cultivation, though you wouldn't get your previous peak stage cultivation in one go." Shi Tian explained. This was one of the system's daily sign-in rewards, but he didn't think he would need it so soon.
"Huh? Ye Guoliang was stunned. He couldn't help but look at Shi Tian with an inquiring look, feeling a little doubtful. Under Shi Tian's casual eyes, he gently opened the cork. Suddenly, a powerful medicinal spiritual energy burst out of the vial, hitting his face. Just after inhaling the residual spiritual energy leaked from the vial, he felt his slight tremor in his body.
"This…" Ye Guoliang was truly shocked. He hastily covered the cork, sealing the vial.
"Don't use it here." Shi Tian reminded Ye Guoliang. Even without his reminder, Ye Guoliang wasn't going to use it in the market. He will find a safe and secluded place to take the pill.
"Ye Guoliang, are you familiar with the surrounding region?" Shi Tian said.
Ye Guoliang was confused, but still answered, "I know a little bit."
Shi Tian knew he was being modest, he was used to being King Realm cultivator, so he must know many things.
"It is like this, I am kind of bored, and want to experience something interesting, do you have something in mind?" Shi Tian asked. Although his current daily life is not bad, it is a bit boring. He was not a battle maniac, going into the forest daily to fight the spiritual beasts. He had already decided that when his strength reached a point where he would be able to roam outside safely, he would embark on an adventure with Duan Mei and Xui Ying, a kind of vacation.
"Hmm." Ye Guoliang pondered for a moment, although he was not familiar with the entire eastern continent, he was very familiar with the northern region where they were currently. Hearing his words, he was sure that these three youngsters were members of a high-ranking sect or clan who had just come out to gain worldly experience. It was nothing new.
"Young Master, can you clarify a bit more? What kind of interesting things are you looking for?" Ye Guoliang asked curiously.
"Nothing big, just something to time pass." Shi Tian replied casually.
Ye Guoliang thought for a second before replying, "Young Master, the Divine Phoenix Empire will host a young martial arts contest in two months." And if you are interested in the secret realm, there is also a rumor spreading around about a secret realm that was about to open in the White Lake City."
Ye Guoliang told him about more than five places.
'There are many interesting things happening in the world.' Shi Tian was amazed. Ye Guoliang told him about the things that were happening close to their location. This world was so big, and these types of things were happening all over the world.
