After leaving Shengwu Academy, Duan Lingtian walked into a remote alley.
Without any warning, he turned around suddenly and looked towards the end of the alley. His eyes were focused and his tone was calm, "Come out."
Suddenly, two old men walked out slowly.
Their faces were full of shock, and it was hard to imagine that Duan Lingtian could discover their whereabouts.
"Sixth Elder, Eighth Elder."
Duan Lingtian nodded and smiled at the two old men, who were the sixth and eighth elders of the Duan family.
It was obviously sent by the Duan family to protect him.
"Two elders, please go back."
Duan Lingtian smiled slightly at the two old men, and immediately, his body moved, as if he had transformed into an agile snake, hiding at the corner of the alley ahead.
The two old men followed, but found that Duan Lingtian was nowhere to be seen.
They searched for a long time, but couldn't find Duan Lingtian again.
For a time, their faces became more and more shocked.
"This Duan Lingtian is really amazing! Not only can he detect our tracking, he can also easily get rid of us..."
"Even Duan Rufeng back then was far from being so 'perverted'! Well, since he can find us and get rid of us, he can naturally find others and get rid of others... It's pointless for us to follow him, let's go back
.”
The two old men looked at each other and could see the bitter smile on each other's faces. They shook their heads and left directly, returning to the Duan family's mansion to report to the patriarch 'Duan Ruhuo'.
But now, as Duan Lingtian was walking home, two waves of wind swept over him and landed beside him.
"Master!"
It was Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang.
"Where did you two guys run just now? Aren't you afraid that Xue Lu will kill me?"
Duan Lingtian said angrily.
"Master, we were with the Marquis just now... We wanted to take action, but the Marquis stopped us."
Zhang Qian had a wry smile and an innocent look on his face.
"Uncle Nie? Even he knows?"
Duan Lingtian suddenly felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
It seems that even if there is no 'bone erosion pattern' today, no vice president 'Zhan Xiong', and no Duan family elder 'Duan Zhen', he will be fine.
Although an afternoon had passed, Duan Lingtian's mood still could not completely calm down.
Even the two girls at home discovered something was wrong with Duan Lingtian.
"I'm fine."
Faced with the concern of the two little ladies, Duan Lingtian smiled slightly, went back to the room, lay on the soft big bed, and looked at the ceiling.
His eyes revealed a hint of awe-inspiring light.
"If I had destroyed Tong Li's cultivation when I first met her... maybe what happened to Tang Guo wouldn't have happened."
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart.
The female student who admired him so much would never be seen again.
Although Tang Guo was just a passer-by in his life, he was now deeply remembered in his heart.
Duan Lingtian thought a lot this night.
Finally, his mentality is also undergoing earth-shaking changes...
Duan Lingtian's current change of mentality will also lead to a bad end for those who are his enemies in the future.
The next day, Duan Lingtian went to the ‘Shenwei Hou Mansion’.
When Shenwei Hou ‘Nie Yuan’ saw Duan Lingtian, he couldn’t help but shake his head and smile, “What’s the matter with you little guy coming here this time?”
Nie Yuan didn't mention anything about the city guard commander 'Xue Lu' yesterday, or perhaps, in his eyes, Xue Lu was nothing at all...
"Uncle Nie, I came here to ask you for two places."
Duan Lingtian got straight to the point.
"Quota?"
Nie Yuan was stunned and couldn't react for a while.
"Among the reinforcements that will set off in more than twenty days, there is a quota for Shengwu Academy's "Xianxing Xingxing". I have two friends who want to go with me, and I have already agreed to them."
Duan Lingtian explained.
"So that's it, no problem. When your brother Nie comes back, I'll tell him and ask him to add two more places... What are the names of those two people?"
Nie Yuan looked casual. To him, this was just a small matter.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Xun."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"It turns out he is from the 'Xiao Family'... However, this Xiao Xun seems to be the younger brother of the Xiao Family's genius alchemist 'Xiao He', right?"
After Nie Yuan said that, he took a deep look at Duan Lingtian.
Who would have thought.
The martial arts genius 'Duan Lingtian' who is now making a lot of noise in the Imperial City is the young genius alchemist who once defeated 'Xiao He' in the Alchemist Guild and was a flash in the pan.
Duan Lingtian naturally knew the meaning of Nie Yuan's words, and smiled lightly, "Even if Xiao He sees me now, he may not be able to recognize me. Moreover, even if he recognizes me, it will not affect my relationship with Xiao Xun.
"
In this regard, Duan Lingtian is still very confident.
He still remembered that when he first met Xiao Xun, Xiao Xun's words were full of admiration for the 'genius alchemist' who defeated Xiao He, without any resentment.
"That's right, that day. Your disguise method was really unpredictable."
Nie Yuan shook his head and smiled, and took a deep look at Duan Lingtian, "Sometimes, I really want to open your kid's head to see what secrets are hidden inside..."
Ever since his nephew appeared, it had given him one wave of shock after another.
Fortunately, his heart is strong enough, otherwise, his nephew might really have a heart attack.
Duan Lingtian touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, didn't you say that when you entered the 'Yuan Dan Realm', you could refine the 'Eighth Grade Qingling Pill' for your Grandpa Nie?"
Suddenly, Nie Yuan seemed to remember something and his eyes lit up.
Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched.
He is still one step away from the seventh level of the Condensing Pill Realm, let alone the 'Yuan Dan Realm'.
Of course, he also understood that this Uncle Nie, like everyone else, must have thought that he had broken through to the 'Yuan Dan Realm'.
He didn't explain, but just made an excuse, "Uncle Nie, you have to give me some time to transform the 'ninth-grade pill fire' into the 'eight-grade pill fire', right?"
When Nie Yuan heard this, he smiled awkwardly.
Only then did he remember that even if he had reached the level of cultivation, it would not be easy to upgrade to the level of alchemist.
In the Chixiao Kingdom, there are many people who have cultivated themselves into the ‘Nascent Soul Realm’, but are only ninth-grade alchemists.
Simply speaking of the alchemist's 'alchemy fire', the Yuan Power in the body of a Nascent Soul warrior is enough to condense the 'sixth grade of alchemy fire'...
However, the improvement of 'Alchemy Fire' depends on the talent of the alchemist.
For a person with insufficient talent, let alone the Nascent Soul Realm, even if he breaks through to the 'Peeping into the Void Realm', he is only a 'Ninth-grade Alchemist' and cannot even become a 'Ninth-grade Alchemist'.
"Uncle Nie is too impatient."
Nie Yuan shook his head and smiled, and said: "Go and see your Grandpa Nie. During this period, he often talks about you to me... Yesterday, he heard that the city guard commander 'Xue Lu' led his troops to the Holy Land.
They are blocking you at the gate of the martial arts academy, and they are shouting that they want to kill Xue Lu."
Duan Lingtian was startled.
I didn't expect that old man to have such a hot temper...
However, a hint of warmth still rose in his heart.
"Grandpa Nie."
When Duan Lingtian saw the old man, he was watering flowers and plants in the backyard, feeling very comfortable.
When the old man saw Duan Lingtian, his cloudy eyes lit up brightly, "Xiaotian, you are here."
Duan Lingtian helped the old man sit down and smiled slightly, "Grandpa, are you feeling much better recently?"
The old man nodded, "The power of the Ninth-grade Qingling Pill has completely eliminated the poison in my internal organs. The remaining poison has been suppressed by the Ninth-grade Qingling Pill in various parts of my body and in my Dantian. It's not a serious problem."
.”
"That's good. When I become an eighth-level alchemist, I will refine the 'eighth-level Qingling Pill' for you, Grandpa Nie, to completely remove the remaining poison."
Duan Lingtian nodded, this result was also within his expectation.
"I heard that you will go on an expedition with Fen'er this time?"
the old man asked.
"Yeah, I want to go see it."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Whether it's good to see something or not, the battlefield is a place where people are trained..."
As the old man spoke, his eyes became a little misty, as if he had returned to the days when he was a soldier for half his life, and there seemed to be an aura of killing in his body.
This murderous aura is extremely terrifying...
Even better than Shenweihou ‘Nie Yuan’!
The next period of time was calm.
The city guard commander 'Xue Lu' and the fifth prince seemed to have completely disappeared.
Of course, Duan Lingtian would not think that they were so merciful that they gave up on avenging Xue Lang and Tong Li.
All of this is probably just the calm before the storm.
Shengwu Academy, the first-year classroom of ‘Xianxingxing’.
"The list of the 'Xianxing Galaxy' accompanying the reinforcements to the northwest border this time has been released."
On the podium, Sima Changfeng said slowly.
"Why did Teacher Sima say this? Could it be that someone in our class also got a spot?"
Suddenly, many students were stunned.
Soon, they looked at the young man in purple sitting far away with a tacit understanding...
"It should be Duan Lingtian!"
"Nonsense, who else could it be besides Duan Lingtian?"
Some students whispered.
Soon, except for Duan Lingtian, the other students looked at Sima Changfeng, waiting for Sima Changfeng to announce...
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun, in particular, stared at Sima Changfeng intently.
Although Duan Lingtian said there was no problem, they were still a little uneasy.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Sima Changfeng reported the first name.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Xun!"
Sima Changfeng continued.
In fact, he was a little surprised when he first got the list.
Duan Lingtian was recommended by him, and it was normal to have 'Duan Lingtian' on the list... but he did not recommend the other two.
When Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun heard Sima Changfeng's words, their eyes lit up. When they looked at each other, they could see the excitement in each other's eyes.
"Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun also have quotas?"
Immediately, the remaining students looked at Sima Changfeng one after another, hoping that Sima Changfeng could call their names.
Unfortunately, Sima Changfeng's next words completely dispelled their thoughts:
"You three, get ready and get ready. We will gather at the academy's martial arts field in half a month and set off!"
