Chapter 3828: Sikong Yue
The Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill was one of the most difficult king-grade Limit Divine Pills to refine. Even the Flying Dragon Sect’s former sect leader could not refine it. Now that Duan Ling Tian said he was going to refine the pills, many people were naturally interested in watching him.
Initially, Duan Ling Tian planned to refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills in private. However, Xue Hai Chun told him that the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect hoped that he would refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills publicly, and in exchange, the sect was willing to search for the ingredients and medicinal herbs he needed and to give him 300,000 contribution points.
In fact, 300,000 contribution points did not mean much to Duan Ling Tian since he had more than 50 people waiting for his Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills. With that, he would gain at least 500,000 contribution points. He only went along with the request because the Flying Dragon Sect was willing to search for the ingredients and medicinal herbs he needed.
‘I didn’t expect the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill would bring me so many benefits.’
Duan Ling Tian did not have a problem refining the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills in front of everyone. After all, refining divine pills relied on one’s skill and the extraction of vitality energy from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. This might be difficult for most divine alchemists, but it was easy for Duan Ling Tian who possessed the Divine Tree of Life in his Little World.
Before joining the Flying Dragon Sect, Duan Ling Tian had already successfully refined lord-grade Limit Divine Pills. However, he could only refine those that were easy to refine with a high success rate. Nonetheless, his skills could be considered the best in the entire Eastern Ridge Mansion since there was no one in the Eastern Ridge Mansion who could easily refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills. Most of them only managed to refine it out of sheer luck and found it difficult to replicate their success.
Duan Ling Tian had no intention of revealing the fact that he could refine lord-grade Limit Divine Pills as well. Sometimes it was good to keep one’s abilities hidden. It would do him more harm than good if he revealed his abilities. Hence, he had been trying to maintain a fine balance by showing just the right amount of his ability.
‘If word of my capability in refining the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills spread, I’m afraid some of the top emperor-rank forces won’t be able to wait before they make a move…’
Duan Ling Tian had expected the top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion to make a move. His performance during the Latent Dragon Grand Contest was very eye-catching, after all. They had yet to take action due to the impending Imperial War between the Flying Dragon Sect and the Tai Yi Sect.
A young man like Duan Ling Tian with extraordinary innate talent and comprehension skills would definitely soar to great heights in the future. He would definitely improve even more if he survived the Imperial War. For this reason, the top emperor-rank forces were anticipating his participation in the Imperial War. After the Imperial War, they would definitely recruit him. It was not just that. The main reason they had yet to make a move was due to the Eastern Ridge Mansion. Once the date of the Imperial War had been decided, other forces were prohibited from recruiting members from the sects involved in the war. This was especially true for members who were Lord of Gods.
…
At this moment, a crowd had gathered at the inner disciples’ cultivation ground. There were many White Dragon Elders and Black Dragon Elders among them.
“What’s going on?”
“Why are there so many White Dragon Elders here? There are even two Black Dragon Elders!”
“Those two Black Dragon Elders are divine alchemists of our sect, right? It’s said their alchemy skills are only second to the former sect leader.”
The inner disciples who had just emerged from closed-door cultivation were confused and shocked when the crowd on the cultivation ground. They only found out about what happened after speaking to the other inner disciples.
“Duan Ling Tian is going to publicly refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills?”
“The Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill is one of the most difficult king-grade Limit Divine Pills to refine! Are you joking with me?”
“That’s right. I know he can easily refine god-grade Limit Divine Pills even before joining the Flying Dragon Sect, but king-grade Limit Divine Pills are very different. Moreover, the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill is one of the hardest king-grade Limit Divine Pills to refine.”
“He had ten Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills when he was at the Internal Affairs Pavilion, and he claimed he refined them?”
“It’s useless for us to question his ability. The truth will be revealed soon when he refines the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill in front of us.”
“You’re right.”
The crowd grew livelier as more and more inner disciples came to watch the show. As time passed, there were also inner elders, inner deacons, and outer elders who came to watch the show. If it were not because of the fact that the inner disciples’ cultivation ground were off-limits to outer deacons and outer disciples, there would be even more people.
At this moment, Ding Yan, who had just returned from a mission, was shocked when he heard about what happened. “Duan Ling Tian can refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill?”
A beautiful and arrogant-looking woman dressed in a fiery-red robe stood next to Ding Yan at this time. She asked indifferently, “Duan Ling Tian is your friend?”
“Yes,” Ding Yan nodded as he smiled wryly.
The young man was forced by Ding Yan’s uncle to join Ding Yan on his mission. Throughout the entire mission, she did not speak to him at all. However, because of Duan Ling Tian, she finally deigned to speak to him. He wondered if he should thank Duan Ling Tian for this or not.
Before returning to the Flying Dragon Sect in the past, Ding Yan had already told his uncle to cancel his marriage with the young woman, who was his uncle’s daughter. Due to various reasons, his uncle had agreed to his request. After the cancellation of the marriage, the young woman’s attitude toward him had eased and she no longer looked for trouble with him. However, she was still cold toward him and looked down on him.
The name of Ding Yan’s Uncle Sikong’s daughter was Sikong Yue.
Upon hearing Ding Yan’s reply, Sikong Yue scoffed coldly and said, “Birds of a feather flock together. Those who are willing to be your friends can’t be that great. I bet he’s lying about being able to refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills. He’s going to embarrass himself today.”
“Sikong Yue!” Ding Yan’s expression turned unsightly immediately. “It’s fine if you look down on me since I’m not as good as you are. However, you’re not qualified to look down on Duan Ling Tian. You’re an advanced King of Gods, right? Do you dare to say you’re a match for Duan Ling Tian?”
After Ding Yan finished speaking, he smiled at Sikong Yue contemptuously.
Sikong Yue was a Green Dragon Disciple of the Flying Dragon Sect. This title was given to prodigies of the Flying Dragon Sect. Her status was superior to inner disciples and was on par with the inner elders.
There was no doubt that Duan Ling Tian would definitely pass the test to become a Green Dragon Disciple. Moreover, the level of difficulty of the test depended on one’s age. The younger one was, the easier the test would be.
The contemptuous smile on Ding Yan’s face grew even wider as he continued to say, “You should know that Duan Ling Tian’s younger than I am, and you… You’re a few hundred years older than I am.”
Sikong Yue’s expression was extremely ugly after she listened to Ding Yan’s words. Then, she said confidently, “There’s a timing for everything. Everything will come in its own time. Duan Ling Tian might be stronger than I am now only because he’s luckier than I am. If I had as many fortuitous encounters as he did, I would be as strong as him as well.”
Ding Yan could not help but laugh at her. “Sikong Yue, you really don’t know anything at all, do you? Lucky? Duan Ling Tian comes from one of the Devata Realms, and he doesn’t have any support in the Profound Energy Land. Are you so shameless to compare yourself to him when you have Uncle Sikong’s support? The only reason you managed to become a Green Dragon Disciple within 1,000 years and enjoy the treatment comparable to that of an inner elder is all due to Uncle Sikong’s support. I don’t care if you ridicule me since I really am not as good as you. However, you can’t compare to Duan Ling Tian at all. How dare you mock him? You said he won’t be able to refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills? I beg to differ. The Duan Ling Tian I know would never lie about something like this.”
Ding Yan had long endured Sikong Yue’s mocking words and rotten attitude. He could have endured it if she had only ridiculed him. However, he could not hold back his temper once Sikong Yue began to mock his friend as well.
