The middle-aged man's face turned red and he tried to break free, but couldn't.
"What, you're not convinced?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes turned cold and he exerted force on his feet.
The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, even turning livid, and his body began to tremble...
Sudden.
Duan Lingtian retracted his foot.
The middle-aged man gasped for air, and it took him a long time to recover, staring at Duan Lingtian with cold eyes.
Duan Lingtian didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "If you take me as your master, I can help you get rid of the 'Forbidden Yuan Gu' on your body."
"Do you know about Forbidden Yuan Gu?"
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank, his face full of surprise.
In his opinion, it is logically impossible for anyone in this small kingdom to know about Forbidden Yuan Gu.
But the young man in purple in front of him seemed to know the Forbidden Yuan Gu very well.
The most important thing is that he also saw the ring of the young master of Wuya Sect on the hand of the young man in purple.
"Can you really remove the forbidden element Gu from my body?"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and flashed his eyes.
"What, you doubt me?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently and said calmly: "Now, tell me one by one why you were poisoned by Yuan Gu and why you appeared in the Scarlet Sky Kingdom."
The middle-aged man calmed down and said, "My name is 'Xiong Quan', and I am the protector of the Wuya Sect. The Wuya Sect was destroyed, and I escaped with the young sect leader. In order to save our lives, we each led away the pursuers.
Man... Later, although I escaped by chance, the forbidden element Gu that I had been hit by earlier also took effect. I walked around in embarrassment for a while, and fell into a coma. When I woke up again, I found that I was locked up and was
Branded with the mark of slavery!”
After talking about it, the bear gritted his teeth.
The dignified protector of the Wuya Sect has now become a slave...
At first, he even thought about going to die.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and persisted.
He believed that sooner or later he would be able to lift the 'Forbidden Yuan Gu' and regain his strength.
When the time comes, he will kill all the people who branded him as slaves!
"So that's what it is...your Najie was not taken away by them."
Duan Lingtian glanced at Xiong Quan's right hand.
On the middle finger of Xiong Quan's right hand, there was a rusty ring. Others would not take a second glance at it, but Duan Lingtian could tell that it was a ring.
Perhaps, it was precisely because Xiong Quan’s Najie was inconspicuous that it was not taken away.
Xiong Quan looked wary and put away his ring.
"Unrecognize the master and leave it to me!"
Duan Lingtian stared blankly and shouted.
Xiong Quan's expression changed, and he immediately looked bitter. He reluctantly took off the ring, released it and gave it to Duan Lingtian.
After Duan Lingtian shed blood to identify his master, he opened it and took a look.
However, he discovered that there were only some seventh-grade elixirs inside, and only a narrow knife, a seventh-grade spiritual weapon, was left.
"Just this little rag?"
Duan Lingtian frowned and casually disowned Najie and threw it back to Xiong Quan.
tattered?
Xiong Quan's mouth twitched.
Who is this young man? The seventh-grade spiritual weapons and seventh-grade elixirs are said to be junk?
"Little... little brother..."
Xiong Quan looked at Duan Lingtian, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Duan Lingtian frowning, "Who is your brother! I will give you one last chance. If you don't recognize me as your master again, I will not spare your life, let alone
Don’t say it’s to help you detoxify.”
After talking about it, Duan Lingtian exuded a fierce murderous intention.
Xiong Quan took a breath of air.
But he still spoke calmly, "I want to know what happened to the young master? If you killed the young master, I would rather die than recognize you as my master!"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Xiong Quan in slight surprise: "I didn't realize that you still have such backbone."
Xiong Quan snorted.
"When I found your young sect master, he was already dying. He left me a 'Condensing Jade Piece' and asked me to give the other Condensing Jade Piece to an old man named 'Shangguan Yan'. Wait for me
I will help you detoxify and restore your vitality, and I will give you the condensing jade piece to tell whether it is genuine or not."
Duan Lingtian said calmly.
"Young Sect Master!"
Xiong Quan cried out sadly, tears streaming down his face.
Finally, he suppressed his tears and bowed to Duan Lingtian, "Xiong Quan has met his master."
Duan Lingtian glanced at Xiong Quan indifferently, "I can do my best to help you detoxify, but I will also leave a backup plan... I will let you take another kind of poison."
Xiong Quan's face changed.
"Don't worry, the poison I gave you will only relapse every six months. As long as you take the antidote I give you within half a year, you can be worry-free for half a year... This is why I am wary of you regaining your strength.
, will resort to reneging on one’s word.”
Duan Lingtian added.
Xiong Quan's eyes flashed, and his face was filled with bitterness.
He didn't expect that this young man could see such a long-term view...
Just now, he did have this intention.
"Don't take any chances, I am an alchemist myself."
Duan Lingtian took out the ninth-grade alchemist badge from the Alchemist Guild, waved it in front of Xiong Quan's eyes, and then put it away.
"Ninth-grade alchemist..."
Xiong Quan's expression froze. This boy who looked to be only seventeen years old was a ninth-grade alchemist?
Even in the Qinglin Empire, there is no such young ninth-grade alchemist.
"Come back with me tomorrow, and I will refine the elixir for you to dissolve the 'Forbidden Yuan Gu'. However, my current cultivation level is limited, and the elixir I can refine can at most dissolve one-third of the power of the Forbidden Yuan Gu...
What was your cultivation level during your heyday?"
Duan Lingtian asked Xiong Quan while talking.
"Sixth Level of Peeping into the Void Realm."
Xiong Quan said respectfully.
"Is it the sixth level of the Void Realm?"
Duan Lingtian raised his brows, stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, "With one-third of the medicine's power dissolved, your cultivation level should be able to return to the Nascent Soul Realm. As for how high you can return to the Nascent Soul Realm, it depends on your luck.
"
"Can't you fully recover?"
Xiong Quan's expression froze, a little disappointed.
"Hmph! I am only a ninth-level alchemist now, and the elixir fire is restricted... When I enter the Yuan Dan realm, I can become an eighth-level alchemist. At that time, I can refine elixirs to help you resolve one third of the problem.
The power of the medicine. When I enter the seventh level of the Yuan Dan Realm and become a seventh-level alchemist, I will be able to help you completely dissolve the power of the medicine!"
"That is to say, after I enter the seventh level of Yuan Dan Realm, your cultivation will return to its heyday!"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Xiong Quan indifferently, "What, can't wait?"
"No."
Xiong Quan shook his head quickly. For him, it would be good to be able to regain his strength in his lifetime.
Just now I was confused for a moment.
Early the next morning, Duan Lingtian took Xiong Quan and followed Yang Da back to Iron Blood City.
At this moment, Xiong Quan had put on a mask that could cover half of his face, hiding his slave brand.
Returning to Iron Blood City, Duan Lingtian gave Xiong Quan some money and asked him to stay at a designated inn, and then followed Yang Da back to the Iron Blood Army camp.
At this moment, Duan Ling only knew.
He is the first member of the genius camp to return from his mission.
"There is only one month left before the one-year period...and no one of the other twenty-eight people has returned from completing their mission! It seems that the place they went to is also extremely far away."
Duan Lingtian's heart moved slightly and he secretly guessed.
Without any surprise, Duan Lingtian was once again summoned by the leader of the Iron Blood Army, ‘Teng Yunhai’.
During this summons, Teng Yunhai specially organized a welcoming banquet for Duan Lingtian.
During the reception banquet, in addition to Teng Yunhai and deputy commander ‘Qiao Qingshan’, seven captains including ‘Yang Da’ were present...
All the senior generals stationed at the Jagged Army camp have arrived.
"Duan Lingtian, with this glass of wine, we, on behalf of the Iron-Blooded Army, salute you! From now on, the Black-armored Army is nothing to be afraid of!"
Teng Yunhai laughed and picked up a wine glass.
Others followed suit and picked up their glasses.
For the Iron-Blooded Army, the Black Armored Army losing the help of the Lian family is equivalent to losing a pair of wings.
"Done!"
Duan Lingtian also picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"It's great! They say a hero comes from a young age. This time it was really eye-opening for me."
A captain looked at Duan Lingtian and was the first to praise.
Then, the remaining captains did not hesitate to praise Duan Lingtian.
After the banquet, Duan Lingtian followed Teng Yunhai to the largest tent in the Jagged Army camp, which was also the tent of the commander Teng Yunhai.
"Duan Lingtian, I didn't expect you to actually complete that mission."
Teng Yunhai sighed a little.
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed, "Why, since the commander is not sure, why do you still assign me that task?"
Teng Yunhai smiled and said: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you are a little resentful?"
"Lord Commander, where is my admission certificate?"
Without answering Teng Yunhai, Duan Lingtian spread his hands, obviously not interested in staying here for a long time.
Teng Yunhai raised his hand and handed a piece of certificate to Duan Lingtian, "The time to report to the 'Holy Martial Academy' will be in half a year, within a year. After you return, you will be ready to go... From Aurora City to the Imperial City
, if we drag our family and travel by horse-drawn carriage, it will take at least nearly a year."
"Are you checking me?"
Duan Lingtian frowned, a little unhappy.
"Don't worry, I mean no harm."
Teng Yunhai always had a smile on his face.
"Farewell."
Duan Lingtian put away his admission certificate and turned to leave.
"You're not very young, but you have quite a temper... Duan Rufeng, you have a good son."
A trace of envy flashed across Teng Yunhai's eyes.
Now that Duan Lingtian has passed the training of the Genius Camp, the 'no-footing order' for members of the Genius Camp has been cancelled, and they can freely enter and leave the Jagged Army camp.
After he left the Jagged Army camp, he found several medicine shops, gathered enough medicinal materials, and went to the inn to find Xiong Quan.
"Owner."
Xiong Quan is now very sensible and respectful in front of Duan Lingtian.
"Protect me, and I will refine an antidote for you."
Duan Lingtian waved his sleeves and entered the room directly.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Quan responded excitedly and respectfully guarded the door, like a door god.
In the room, Duan Lingtian first classified all the medicinal materials, then picked them up one by one and put them into the medicine cauldron...
The elixir fire appeared and pressed into the medicine cauldron.
laugh!
The flames shot out, and the medicine cauldron began to stir.
Two hours later, Duan Lingtian stopped to take the medicine, and three elixirs with cyan light emitted from the medicine cauldron.
