Chapter 3829 - The Former Sect Leader

“Ding Yan!” Sikong Yue glared at Ding Yan. Her beautiful and bright eyes shone with murderous killing intent at this moment. “If it weren’t because our fathers were best friends, I would’ve killed you many times over for those words! You should know the sect’s rule prohibiting fellow disciples from killing each other doesn’t apply to me.”

The murderous intent in Sikong Yue’s eyes intensified when she finished speaking.

“I know it’d be easy for you to kill me, but I honestly don’t care if you kill me or not. I owe Uncle Sikong a lot anyway. If you kill me, I’d consider my debt to him repaid,” Ding Yan said nonchalantly.

Sikong Yue was so angry that her chest heaved rapidly. At the same time, her Divine Energy felt as though they were going to burst out at any moment. Then, she said icily, “Ding Yan, you can forget about joining forces during the Imperial War. I don’t care about what my father says, but I definitely won’t join forces with you. You’ve successfully pissed me off today! Even if you’re on the verge of death, I won’t save you!”

Ding Yan shrugged. “I have no intention of joining forces with you at all during the Imperial War. I’d already planned to refuse if Uncle Sikong brought the matter up. It’s fine if you don’t save me. If I die, it’s due to my incompetence anyway.”

Sikong Yue’s expression grew even uglier when faced with Ding Yan’s indifference. In the end, she ignored him and looked at the people in her surroundings.

At this time, everyone’s attention was focused on the center of the inner disciples’ cultivation ground.

One of the two Black Dragon Elders said, “Alchemist Duan, it’s time.”

The Black Dragon Elder who had just spoken looked rather young for his age and was dressed in a long green robe. He looked like a rather wise person. He was also the only Black Dragon Elder to have come from a Devata Realm. In a broader sense, he could be considered to have come from the same place as Duan Ling Tian did.

A few days ago, he had heard about Duan Ling Tian’s ten Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills and how Duan Ling Tian was going to publicly refine them. As a divine alchemist, he acknowledged Duan Ling Tian’s skills. Moreover, since Duan Ling Tian was from a Devata Realm as well, his impression of Duan Ling Tian had also risen.

Not many people among the crowd knew that Duan Ling Tian was only publicly refining the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills due to the request of the Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect. As such, most of the people present did not doubt Duan Ling Tian’s ability to refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill. After all, why would he publicly refine the pill if he could not do so? He would only embarrass himself.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian, who was cultivating in his room, opened his eyes. When he heard someone calling for him, he was slightly surprised.

“It’s time?”

When Xue Hai Chuan came over to convey the sect leader’s message to Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian had asked Xue Hai Chuan to remind him about the matter since he was afraid he would lose track of time after he immersed himself in cultivating. However, he was surprised that the person who had woken him up was not Xue Hai Chuan.

Then, he sent a message to Xue Hai Chuan, asking, “Brother Hai Chuan, is today the day I have to publicly refine the Vein Recovery Divine Pill?”

“Huh? Is it today? I asked Yan Nian to remind me, but he seems to have forgotten about it. How unreliable!”

Duan Ling Tian felt rather speechless when he heard Xue Hai Chuan calling Dongfang Yan Nian unreliable.

A few moments later, when Duan Ling Tian climbed out of his bed, he received a message from Duan Ling Tian.

“I’m sorry, Little Tian. I’ve been busy helping my wife heal her Heavenly Veins so I lost track of time and forgot to remind Hai Chuan.”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head. It seemed like Xue Hai Chuan must have complained to Dongfang Yan Nian. Otherwise, Dongfang Yan Nian would not have sent him such a message.

After he briefly spoke to Dongfang Yan Nian, Duan Ling Tian finally left his room. When he saw the huge crowd, he exclaimed inwardly, ‘There are so many people!’

It was at this time that a few others noticed him as well. In fact, there were many among the crowd who had yet to meet Duan Ling Tian.

“That’s Duan Ling Tian?”

“He’s really young as rumored.”

“I heard he’s not even 3,000 years old,”

“He’s not even 3,000 years old, but he’s one of the two strongest inner disciples. Not only that, but he’s also capable of refining king-grade Limit Divine Pills? He’s monstrously talented!”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head. Obviously, Xue Hai Chuan must have complained to Dongfang Yan Nian. Otherwise, Dongfang Yan Nian would not have apologized to him. After casually talking to Dongfang Yan Nian for a moment, Duan Ling Tian left his room and took off into the air.

‘What a crowd.’ Duan Ling Tian realized a huge crowd had turned up that almost blocked the sun from shining in.

“He’s Duan Ling Tian?”

“He’s very young indeed!”

“It’s said that he’s not even 3,000 years old.”

“He’s not even 3,000 years old yet he ranks top among the inner disciples and knows how to refine the king-grade Limit Divine Pill? What a monster!”



At this time, Duan Ling Tian saw an energetic old man approaching him. Then, he glanced at the identity token and learned that the other party was a Black Elder Dragon.

“Duan Ling Tian, I’m Yuan Guang Ming, a Black Dragon Elder, ” the old man introduced himself.

Duan Ling Tian was not unfamiliar with the old man. Xue Hai Chuan had spoken about Yuan Guang Ming multiple times in the past because similar to Duan Ling Tian, Yuan Guang Ming was also from a Devata Realm. Hence, he also knew that Yuan Guang Ming was a lord-rank divine alchemist, and one of the top divine alchemists in the Flying Dragon Sect.

At this time, the other Black Dragon Elder greeted Duan Ling Tian as well. “Alchemist Duan.”

This Black Dragon Elder was an ordinary-looking old man dressed in a long gray robe.

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, Yuan Guan Ming suddenly interjected from the side, “Alchemist Duan, this old geezer is Hou Fang. Strength-wise, he’s almost as powerful as I am, but alchemy-wise, he can’t compare to me.”

“Bullsh*t!” Hou Fang said indignantly, “Yuan Guan Ming, are you trying to pick a fight with me now? You dare to say I can’t compare to you with your half-assed ability?”

Duan Ling Tian smiled when he was the two old men quarreling. After a moment, he asked, “Elders, you’re not really going to fight now in front of everyone, right?”

The two old men stopped bickering immediately. Then, Yuan Guang Ming scoffed before he said, “Old Hou, I’ll let it go for now for Alchemist Duan’s sake.”

“No. I’ll let it go for now,” Hou Fang retorted.

Duan Ling Tian hurriedly said, “Elders, why don’t you continue after I’m done refining the pills? I’ll only refine three Vein Recovery Divine Pills in front of everyone.”

The two old men stopped bickering, but they would still glare at each other.

Duan Ling Tian felt rather speechless when he saw this. He wondered if the duo were really advanced Lords of Gods? Yuan Guang Ming who looked like a wise old man earlier only looked like a quarrelsome old man now.

At this time, a loud voice that was filled with vigor echoed in the valley.

“Fools, leave Duan Ling Tian alone and stop disturbing him. Otherwise, I don’t mind sparring with both of you. You can both join forces if you want.”

Subsequently, Yuan Guang Ming and Hou Fang turned around and cupped their fists together in the direction of the voice.

“Former Sect Leader, rest assured. I’ll stand at the side quietly.”

“Former Sect Leader, please calm down!”

Upon hearing these words, a small commotion broke out.

“The former sect leader?”

The status of the former Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect was on par with the Golden Dragon Elders. It was said that he was a really talented divine alchemist, and many top emperor-rank forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion had tried to recruit him many times. Needless to say, his strength was also comparable to the Golden Dragon Elders.

The former Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect was a mysterious character, and he rarely showed his face in the sect. For this reason, apart from Yuan Guan Ming and Hou Fang, no one recognized his voice at all.

“Former Sect Leader?” Duan Ling Tian was rather surprised that even the former Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect was interested in watching him refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill.

‘Did he come to watch so he could secretly learn how to refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill?’ Duan Ling Tian wondered inwardly.

If the former sect leader could hear Duan Ling Tian’s thoughts, he would have beaten up Duan Ling Tian black and blue.

The crowd continued to whisper among themselves.

“The former sect leader came to watch Duan Ling Tian as well? It seems like he’s interested in Duan Ling Tian’s refining technique.”

“Do you think the former sect leader would be able to refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill after watching Duan Ling Tian?”

“It’s possible. Although the former sect leader can’t refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill now, it doesn’t mean his alchemy skills are inferior to Duan Ling Tian. Duan Ling Tian must have mastered the technique to refine the pills, and if the former sect leader can master the technique, he’ll be able to refine the pills as well.”

“That’s right. I don’t think Duan Ling Tian is necessarily superior to our former sect leader just because he can refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill.”
