Chapter 3751 - The Student Has Surpassed the Teacher

"What?!" Lin Yan was stunned when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words and saw the serious expression on Duan Ling Tian's face. He asked, "You, you used the technique I recorded in the Memory Jade Talisman to extract vitality energy?"

"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Lin Yan was speechless. At this time, Duan Ling Tian used his divine energy and the law of life to extract vitality energy from the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. Although the vitality energy he extracted now was nowhere close to the amount of vitality energy he had used earlier from this Little World, Lin Yan was still horrified by this.

Previously, when Duan Ling Tian released the vitality energy in his Little World, he discovered that he could clearly sense the vitality energy in his surroundings and that he could easily extract them all if he so pleased. He also discovered the vitality energy he extracted from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was not as good as the vitality energy from his Little World. This was only natural since the vitality energy in his Little World came from the Divine Tree of Life. The vitality energy near the Divine Tree of Life was the richest and purest. Hence, he could easily yield twice the results with half the effort.

In this regard, most of the alchemists in the Realms of Gods were inferior to Duan Ling Tian.

Lin Yan finally regained his senses when he felt Linghu Ren Jie staring at him. Then, he said with a wry smile, "Even I can only extract a small amount of vitality energy using that technique. The vitality energy you just extracted is already far more than the one I extracted…"

Indeed, Lin Yan had recorded that technique. However, even if people understood his technique, they would not be able to easily extract vitality energy. After all, they had to learn how to sense the vitality energy in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy first. Moreover, his technique only allowed one to extract however much vitality energy one sensed.

"No wonder you're able to refine god-grade Limit Divine Pills! With this amount of vitality energy, all god-grade Divine Pills will turn into Limit Divine Pills. This is truly amazing! Your ability to extract so much vitality energy isn't inferior to those of top lord-rank divine alchemists. In fact, you're comparable to ordinary emperor-rank divine alchemists," Lin Yan said in a low voice. His voice was so low that only Linghu Ren Jie and Duan Ling Tian, who were standing close to him, heard his words.

Even Wang Fu, who was standing nearby, did not hear Lin Yan's words.

Nonetheless, Lin Yan's earlier words had already told the crowd what they wanted to know.

"Heavens! So Revered Elder Duan used Revered Elder Lin's technique?"

"It seems like the student has surpassed the teacher! Revered Elder Lin said that Revered Elder Duan extracted much more vitality energy than he did using that technique!"

"Does this mean Revered Elder Duan is a lord-rank divine alchemist even though he only just began to learn alchemy?"

"I'm not sure about that. However, just his ability to extract vitality energy alone is superior to most top lord-rank divine alchemists!"

"Well, isn't the ability to extract vitality energy the most difficult part of refining Divine Pills?"

"That's right. As for the other steps, it's enough as long as one keeps practicing. However, sensing and extracting vitality energy can't be taught so easily. It depends on one's talent as well. This is also the reason why those who have a good comprehension of the law of life have an advantage in this area."

Duan Ling Tian could not help but smirk inwardly upon hearing these words. Although it was true that those who have a good comprehension of the law of life had an advantage, it was just a slight advantage. As for him, even if his comprehension of the law of life was not good, due to the Divine Tree of Life in his Little World, he was very sensitive toward vitality energy. In this regard, perhaps, only supreme powerhouses with Realms of Gods as their Little Worlds were better than him for now. This was because each Realm of Gods had a Divine Tree of Life. Without a Divine Tree of Life, a Little World would not become a Realm of Gods.

In the past, Duan Ling Tian had wondered where the Divine Trees of Life came from. Then, he wondered if his Little World would become a Realm of Gods with the help of the Divine Tree of Life if he became a supreme powerhouse in the future.

At this moment, Linghu Ren Jie swept his eyes across the crowd before he said, "Please leave us alone for now."

After listening to Lin Yan's words, Linghu Ren Jie had a lot of questions. With so many people around, it was inconvenient to ask Duan Ling Tian so many questions.

Linghu Ren Jie was the Clan Leader of the Linghu clan, after all. Now that he had given an order to disperse, the others had no choice but to leave even if they felt reluctant. At the same time, many Voice Transmission rang in Duan Ling Tian's ears. "Duan Ling Tian, I'm Yuan Yu, an elder of the Linghu clan. My courtyard is just two blocks north of your courtyard. Please do visit when you're free. We can drink tea and chat."

"Duan Ling Tian, I am…"

"Duan Ling Tian, I…"

Many people did not miss the chance to curry favor with Duan Ling Tian. Apart from his strength, his ability to refine Limit Divine Pills had made his future even brighter than before.

Before this, when Duan Ling Tian had just joined the Linghu clan, he was already known as a monstrous talent. Based on how he was able to extract vitality energy when he had just learned alchemy, it was clear his future was even brighter.

Hence, these people knew if they did not try to get acquainted with him now, it would only be more difficult in the future.

Meanwhile, when Duan Ling Tian first received the Voice Transmissions, he had replied to them. However, as the number of the Voice Transmissions grew, it became impossible for him to reply to all of them. Hence, he gave up in the end and ignored the Voice Transmissions.

When everyone left, silence descended again.

In the courtyard, Wang Fu led the helpers away while Duan Ling Tian, Linghu Ren Jie, and Lin Yan sat around a wooden table in a pavilion in the courtyard.

After Lin Yan sat down, he asked, "Revered Elder Duan, you already have a foundation in alchemy, right? Did you refine pills in the Devata Realms before coming here?"

Duan Ling Tian nodded. "That's right. Even before I went to the Devata Realms, I was already dabbling in alchemy when I was in the mundane realm. However, after I went to the Devata Realms, I hardly refined pills…"

Those from the mundane realms would have known how much of an understatement Duan Ling Tian's words were. After all, in the mundane realms, Duan Ling Tian was one of the top alchemists.

"No wonder," Lin Yan said as he nodded, "I was thinking earlier that it was impossible for you to turn the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Divine Pills into Limit Divine Pill during your second try even if you're highly gifted in sensing vitality energy in Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. Moreover, prior to extracting vitality energy, you can't make any mistakes with the other steps as well. It's impossible for you to not make any mistakes at all if it were truly your second try. However, since you'd refined pills in the mundane realms and the Devata Realms, it's not surprising you didn't make any mistakes earlier. Moreover, the technique to refine pills in Realms of Gods isn't difficult. The most important part is the purification of the pills." Then, Lin Yan looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes as he continued to say, "Revered Elder Duan, based on what you did today, you definitely have the potential to become an emperor-rank divine alchemist or a supreme divine alchemist!"

Duan Ling Tian remained calm upon hearing Lin Yan's words.

On the contrary, Linghu Ren Jie was shocked. After all, even the divine alchemist from the Flying Dragon Sect who was highly sought after by emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion was just an ordinary emperor-rank divine alchemist. How could he remain calm when he heard Lin Yan say Duan Ling Tian had the potential to become a supreme-rank divine alchemist?

Linghu Ren Jie knew Lin Yan very well. He was certain Lin Yan would not say such words if he did not mean it. In other words, Lin Yan was very optimistic about Duan Ling Tian's future in alchemy. "Revered Elder Lin, you're overpraising me," Duan Ling Tian replied as he shook his head, "I'm still a beginner so I still have a long way to go. Revered Elder Lin, I hope you'll guide me in the future."

In fact, Duan Ling Tian was not deliberately being modest. He truly felt that he was still lacking in regard to alchemy. For example, there were many formulas for king-grade Divine Pills that he could not understand. In fact, there were many things he could not understand when he looked through the records in the Linghu clan's library.

As for the god-grade Divine Pills he had refined, Duan Ling Tian had relied on his past experience to understand the techniques and formula. He only managed to do so because they were less complicated compared to those of higher-grade pills.
