Chapter 3613: The Honorable Duan Ling Tian

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The four strongest forces in Descent Mountain City were ranked at the bottom in the Profound Energy Land. It was not surprising that they did own any divine rock ores where they could mine divine rocks. They had to use prominent divine crystals to exchange for divine rocks.

For such forces, it was rare for them to accumulate more than 50,000 divine rocks in wealth. Hence, it was a big deal that they were willing to bring out 20,000 to 30,000 divine rocks.

The Qian family had no choice but to bring out 30,000 divine rocks in order to appease Duan Ling Tian. However, the other forces were only doing so to curry favor with Duan Ling Tian whom they thought was a rudimentary god from the Glorious Heaven Sect. In their opinion, someone like Duan Ling Tian would definitely become a prominent figure in the Eastern Ridge Mansion in the future.

All of them hoped to rule over Descent Mountain City by forging a connection with Duan Ling Tian. Hence, they tried to outdo each other to invite Duan Ling Tian over to their respective estates. Needless to say, they were shocked when they heard Duan Ling Tian's words.

"Alright, stop fighting. All of you prepare 20,000 divine rocks, and I'll take turns visiting all of you…"

The leaders of the strongest forces in Descent Mountain City were rendered speechless by these words. How could a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect be so shameless?

The leaders were speechless. How could the disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect be so shameless? However, there was nothing they could do since none of them dared to offend Duan Ling Tian.

"We'll wait for you to visit us, Young Master Duan," Meng Qi You said as he forced a smile on his face. However, his expression darkened immediately as soon as he turned away. 20,000 divine rocks were half the fortune that the Meng family had accumulated, and yet, they had to give it to Duan Ling Tian with no obvious benefits.

Needless to say, the members of the Cloudy Morning Sect and the Heaven Martial Sect felt the same way. All of them forced a smile on their faces when they bade farewell to Duan Ling Tian, but their expressions turned gloomy as soon as they turned away.

…

"Although there's no obvious benefit, it's still worth spending so many divine rocks to forge a connection with a talented young man like Young Master Duan," Meng Qi You said to the other members of the Meng family in an attempt to console them. He continued to say, "Think about it. A peerless talent like him will definitely be a prominent figure in the Eastern Ridge Mansion in the future. I'm sure he won't reject our request for help in the future. This is the best chance for us to forge a connection with him. It'd be too late once he becomes famous."

Meng Qi You managed to lighten the mood of the others with his words. They felt better after listening to him.

..,

On the other hand, the members of the Cloudy Morning Sect remained silent during their journey back to their estate.

…

As for the members of the Heaven Martial Sect, Ouyang Wu Ding, the intermediate god, said, "Perhaps, Young Master Duan is just joking. He might not even visit us. If he doesn't visit us, there's no need for us to give him the 20,000 divine rocks."

The members of the Heaven Martial Sect secretly hoped that Duan Ling Tian would not visit them. Alas, their hope shattered when Duan Ling Tian showed up at their doorstep to claim the 20,000 divine rocks.

…

"Next stop is the Cloud Morning Sect."

After spending a few days in the Heaven Martial Sect, Duan Ling Tian left for the Cloudy Morning Sect. During his time in the sect, he wandered around the estate and spoke to various disciples to obtain information about the areas around Descent Mountain City and the Eastern Ridge Mansion.

Before going to the Heaven Martial Sect, he had spent a few days in the Meng family estate as well. During his time there, he had learned many things, and he had even discussed pill refinement with Meng Qi You, the Meng family's divine pill alchemist.

Refining pills was much more difficult in the Realms of Gods compared to the Devata Realm. Hence, it was difficult for Duan Ling Tian to refine pills here using the methods he had learned in the Devata Realms.

At that time, Duan Ling Tian had sighed and deliberately said, "I wonder who came up with such a difficult method to refine pills in the Realms of Gods," Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself as he sighed.

Although Meng Qing You did not think Duan Ling Tian understood much about pill refinement, he still patiently explained, "It seems like Young Master Duan didn't spend time talking to the divine pill alchemist in the Glorious Heaven Sect. The pill refining methods in the Realms of Gods were given to us by supreme powerhouses after they observed the changes of heaven and earth. As the years passed, the refining methods naturally evolved into different branches. For me, I use divine flames to extract the essence from the medicinal herbs to refine pills. If I fail in extracting the essence, all my efforts would be in vain. It takes years of experience and practice to master the technique."

Thanks to Meng Qi You, Duan Ling Tian gained a better understanding of pill refinement in the Realms of Gods. Although the methods in the Realms of Gods and Devata Realms were very different, they still shared some similarities.

With Meng Qi You's guidance, Duan Ling Tian even tried to refine pills using the methods in the Realms of Gods. However, due to his lack of experience and his average comprehension of the law of fire, his attempts ended in failures. Nevertheless, Meng Qi You was still greatly impressed by Duan Ling Tian's talent and skills. Moreover, he discovered Duan Ling Tian's comprehension of the law of fire was only slightly inferior to his.

The truth was Duan Ling Tian did not focus on comprehending the law of fire at all. His comprehension of the law of fire was mostly obtained during his time in the chamber of laws in the Title Temple.

…

Meanwhile, when Duan Ling Tian did not appear after a few days had passed, the members of the Cloudy Morning Sect grew certain that Duan Ling Tian was just joking about the 20,000 divine rocks.

In the morning.

In the Cloud Morning Sect's main hall.

A rudimentary god said to Sima Kong Ming, "Sect Leader, it seems like we took the matter too seriously. Young Master Duan must have been joking at that time."

Another rudimentary god nodded. "That's right. After all, 20,000 divine rocks are nothing to someone from a prestigious sect like Young Master Duan. It seems like we've misunderstood him."

Sima Kong Ming nodded in agreement when he heard those words. "The disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect is indeed honorable."

However, as soon as Sima Kong Ming's voice fell, a voice rang from outside the main hall.

"Sect Leader, Young Master Duan is here. We've arranged for him to stay in the first courtyard in the east wing."

In the Cloudy Morning Sect, the guest courtyards were located in the east wing and the west wing of the estate. The west wing was used to accommodate ordinary guests while important guests were hosted at the east wing.

Even the leaders of the other major forces in Descent Mountain City would be given the second courtyard in the east wing to stay in if they were to visit. Usually, only advanced gods would be arranged to stay in the first courtyard in the east wing. Duan Ling Tian was the only rudimentary god in the history of the Cloudy Morning Sect who was arranged to stay in the first courtyard in the east wing. After all, Duan Ling Tian's background aside, he was stronger than Qian Shu Huan, an advanced god from the Qian family. With his background and strength, he was more than qualified to stay in the first courtyard in the east wing.

"He's here?"

Upon hearing this announcement, the expressions of Sima Kong Ming and the two elders changed drastically.

Sima Kong Ming smiled wryly and said, "It seems like we have underestimated the temptation of 20,000 divine rocks."

The two elders could only smile helplessly in response to these words.

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was naturally unaware of the trio's conversation in the main hall. At this moment, he was sitting in a rocking chair in the east wing's first courtyard, basking under the sun. Two women were serving him at the moment: one was feeding him grapes while the other was massaging his shoulders. These two women were not female attendants, but they were descendants of the two elders that had been arranged to serve Duan Ling Tian.. After all, if Duan Ling Tian took a liking to one of them, the Cloudy Morning Sect would naturally benefit from it.
