Jiuyou County, the county seat, and the county governor's mansion.
In the main hall, the governor of Jiuyou County, Tian Jiyu, was sitting there, waiting quietly, as if he was waiting for someone.
Suddenly, as if he noticed something, he stood up suddenly.
"Sheriff."
A voice came from outside the main hall.
For a moment, a bright smile appeared on Tian Jiyu's face, and then he stepped out and looked at the young man in purple standing outside the main hall, "Duan Lingtian, the matter has been solved? Is there anything you need my help with?"
"Thank you, Sheriff, for your concern."
The young man in purple standing outside the main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion was Duan Lingtian, who had just returned from the Liu family. Hearing Tian Jiyu's words, he smiled slightly and said, "As long as the Sheriff supports me, they are very cooperative."
Although, before he left the Liu family, he gave Pang Bing a very exaggerated 'offer', saying that he wanted the Pang family to give him 200,000 high-grade immortal stones, and that it would be difficult for the Pang family to come up with it.
However, he believed that Pang Bing was a smart man and would definitely collect 200,000 high-grade immortal stones for him.
Not because of anything else, just because the Sheriff of Jiuyou County is on his side.
As for the 'reason' why the Jiuyou County Sheriff is on his side, it is not difficult for him to guess:
He must have thought that he could win the "first place" in the 16-county martial arts competition held at the Qin Prince's Mansion soon, and win three middle-grade elixirs, the Great Luo Pill, for the Jiuyou County Sheriff's Mansion.
On one side are three middle-grade elixirs, the 'Da Luo Dan', and on the other are an inner elder whose cultivation is still at the peak of the Golden Immortal level.
Even if he is the governor of Jiuyou County, he knows what is important and what is important.
"That's good."
Tian Jiyu nodded and then welcomed Duan Lingtian into the hall, "Let's go in and talk."
After entering the main hall, Tian Jiyu did not sit back at the front seat, but sat at the bottom seat with Duan Lingtian, and his expression became a little solemn when he sat down with Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Lingtian, after today, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the Sheriff's Mansion."
Tian Jiyu sighed.
"I see."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"you understand?"
Tian Jiyu was startled. He only thought of this problem after he came back just now.
But now, Duan Lingtian actually said that he understood?
Facing Tian Jiyu's suspicious look, Duan Lingtian said: "After today, the news that I, Duan Lingtian, has a strength close to that of Daluo Jinxian will surely spread throughout the county and even the entire Jiuyou County!"
"As the Lord of Jiuyou County, Governor, although you can order a seal, you can't stop Youyou's mouth... After all, in the planes of the heavens, there is no such thing as the 'Thunder Punishment Oath' in the secular plane.
Restrictions. Even if you, the county governor, warn those who know the information, they can still spread the news secretly."
When Duan Lingtian said this, he paused.
Tian Jiyu nodded.
This is indeed the case.
"And once this news spreads throughout Jiuyou County, it will inevitably spread to the other fifteen counties... Once the other fifteen counties know that there is a golden immortal like me who is less than a hundred years old in Jiuyou County, they will inevitably spread the news in Qin
Attack me before the start of the sixteen-county martial arts competition held by the royal palace."
"At that time, the strong men from their counties may not take action personally...but they will definitely spend a lot of money to invite strong men from outside to Jiuyou County to kill me! As long as they are willing, it is entirely possible for them to invite
You want to touch a strong person who is stronger than you, the county guard... right?"
After Duan Lingtian said that, he looked at Tian Jiyu and asked.
"yes."
Tian Jiyu didn't expect Duan Lingtian to think about the matter so thoroughly. Facing Duan Lingtian's subsequent inquiry, he nodded, "As long as they are willing to pay a sufficient price, it is not difficult to invite beings more powerful than me."
"For them... your existence has almost directly locked the 'number one' in the sixteen-county martial arts competition held by the Prince of Qin's Mansion. That is what they don't want to see. In order to make you disappear, they may even join forces
Get up, pay a sufficient price together, and ask a being stronger than me to kill you."
"If the person they invite is weaker than me, it's no different than not inviting them... In that case, with me sitting in the Sheriff's Mansion, no one can hurt you, let alone kill you!"
Tian Jiyu said.
"I thought of these."
Duan Lingtian nodded, "That's why I plan to leave."
"When are you ready to leave?"
Tian Jiyu asked.
"Of course, the sooner the better... But if nothing unexpected happens, it should be three days later. After all, I still have two bills to collect in the next three days."
Duan Lingtian said.
"Two accounts?"
Tian Jiyu was stunned for a moment.
When Duan Lingtian explained clearly what those two accounts were referring to, even though Tian Jiyu was the governor of Jiuyou County and had seen many storms and waves, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch.
"You... are really cruel!"
"One hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones, for the Liu family, although they won't break bones or muscles, they still need to sell some properties to get it together in a short time."
"Two hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones... I'm afraid the Pang family won't be able to get them."
Tian Jiyu said.
"The Pang family can't take it out...but I believe that Elder Pang Bing is a smart man and will let the Liu family and the Pang family share the burden."
Duan Lingtian said calmly: "With the Liu family's background, it is not difficult to come up with another hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones."
"Two hundred thousand high-grade immortal stones... Even the Liu family will probably have to sell off a lot of property and even break bones and muscles."
Tian Jiyu sighed: "Originally, I planned to give you some immortal stones if you leave... Now it seems that it is not necessary. With 300,000 high-grade immortal stones, you will not be short of immortal stones in a short time."
"However, when you leave this time... don't forget the 'Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition' held in Prince Qin's Mansion."
Tian Jiyu's face suddenly became serious, he looked at Duan Lingtian and said: "I will help you sign up for the Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition... You only need to show up when the Sixteen Counties Martial Arts Competition starts. By then, even if the other ten
If the people from the five counties want to kill you again, they will not dare to act rashly while people from Prince Qin's palace are around."
"I thought so too."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
After a while, Duan Lingtian said hello to Tian Jiyu and left.
He still had a lot of things to do before leaving.
The first thing to do was to try to refine the low-grade elixir ‘Ling Yun Dan’.
Now, he already has the medicinal materials of Lingyundan in his hand, and there are quite a lot of them.
"Since the supreme elder of the Liu family, 'Liu Qing', who I killed was the low-grade alchemy master of the Liu family... there must be a medicine cauldron in his Najie."
After returning to Qianlongyuan and his cultivation stone room, Duan Lingtian took out another Na Ring from his own Na Ring. It was surprisingly Liu Qing's Na Ring that he picked up casually after killing Liu Qing today.
"Sure enough!"
After identifying the owner of Liu Qing's Najie, Duan Lingtian easily found the medicinal cauldron inside. At the same time, he discovered that there were some other medicinal materials and several elixirs inside the Najie.
As for the fairy stones piled aside, Duan Lingtian didn't even look at them.
Although, there are many fairy stones in Liu Qingna's ring.
However, compared with the 300,000 high-grade immortal stones he was about to obtain from the Liu and Pang families, this amount of immortal stones was somewhat insignificant.
"These kinds of elixirs are all recipes for the low-grade elixir... hmm? This is... the recipe for the low-grade elixir 'Hidden Spirit Pill'?"
Among the several elixir recipes in Liu Qingna's ring, the only one that caught Duan Lingtian's eye was the recipe for the low-grade elixir 'Hidden Spirit Pill'.
This hidden elixir was given to him by the governor of Jiuyou County before, which enabled his cultivation to improve by leaps and bounds in just one and a half years, and he directly broke through and became the 'Golden Sun Golden Immortal'.
When he broke through and became the Golden Sun Immortal, he also happened to run out of hidden elixirs.
"No wonder the Hidden Spirit Pill is so rare and rare... It turns out that in addition to the rare medicinal materials required for the Hidden Spirit Pill, the Hidden Spirit Pill also requires very high alchemy skills from the alchemy master.
The elixir rate is extremely low.”
After reading the recipe for the hidden spiritual elixir, Duan Lingtian finally knew:
Why are the Hidden Spirit Pills so rarer than the Lingyun Pills?
"Let's try refining the Ling Yun Dan first... I don't know if the part of the gray flame I extracted from the incomplete iron piece can successfully refine the elixir or refine the immortal weapon..."
Taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian began to use the method of running fairy fire to mobilize the gray flames inside the incomplete iron pieces. However, as before, he could only extract a small part of the gray flames from the incomplete iron pieces.
"Let's try it."
At the same time, Duan Lingtian placed the medicine cauldron, took out a portion of the medicinal materials for refining the Ling Yun Dan, and started to try to refine the Ling Yun Dan with the small portion of gray flame he controlled.
For the first time, the medicinal materials were burned as soon as they came into contact with the small portion of gray flame controlled by Duan Lingtian.
"It's useless!"
Duan Lingtian smiled bitterly. He knew that this was because he had not refined elixirs for a long time and had insufficient control over the heat.
"However... the power of this small part of the gray flame is indeed not small. At least, its power does not feel smaller than the ordinary low-grade fairy fire recorded in those memory talismans."
After realizing this, Duan Lingtian also gained some confidence and began to try refining alchemy for the second time.
The second time, Duan Lingtian controlled the heat a little, but the medicinal materials only lasted for a moment before being burned and scrapped!
"Come again!"
Immediately afterwards, Duan Lingtian came again for the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...
The medicinal materials used to refine the low-grade elixir ‘Ling Yun Dan’ were scrapped one after another as if they were free of charge.
There's no one else here either.
Otherwise, seeing this scene, I would definitely feel extremely distressed and feel that Duan Lingtian is too wasteful!
Finally, on the thirteenth time, Duan Lingtian successfully used gray flames to turn the medicinal materials into liquid medicine, and let it enter the medicine cauldron to proceed to the next step...
This step went smoothly at first.
But when it came to the end, when Duan Lingtian wanted to condense the pill, the medicine cauldron suddenly started to tremble again.
Immediately afterwards, a thick smoke emerged from the medicine cauldron, and Duan Lingtian immediately smelled a burning smell.
