Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Jay
"Don’t worry, although I don’t dare guarantee I can find the Ageless Root, I will try my best." The Pavilion Master of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion promised Duan Ling Tian.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master." Duan Ling Tian hurriedly thanked him.
"In all the various Dynasties, I can be considered to have great knowledge, yet I’ve never heard of the Ageless Root that you’re looking for." The Pavilion Master looked at Duan Ling Tian with a burning gaze. "I wonder if it’s convenient for you to tell me what type of medicinal material the Ageless Root is and what use does it have?"
"Of course." Duan Ling Tian smiled lightly and said casually, "The Ageless Root is a medicinal material that’s slightly similar to the sharp claws of the Phoenix from the legends… Although it’s a medicinal material, the Ageless Root is instead able to be used as a weapons refinement material.
"Weapons refinement material?" The Pavilion Master’s pupils constricted.
"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded. "I know a grade three Weapons Craftsman… He’s able to use this Ageless Root as the main material to refine a grade three spirit weapon!"
Grade three Weapons Craftsman!
Grade three spirit weapon!
Waves of shock arose on the calm face of the Pavilion Master.
"You… You know a grade three Weapons Craftsman?" The Pavilion Master’s breathing became hurried.
He was a grade four Weapons Craftsman, and in the entire Darkhan Dynasty or the various Dynasties, he was an existence that stood at the peak of the Dao of Weapons Refinement.
An appearance of a grade three Weapons Craftsman in the various Dynasties has never been heard of.
To the people of the various Dynasties, a grade three Weapons Craftsman was an existence of legend that was far beyond their reach.
Supposedly, Weapons Craftsmen at grade three of above existed in the mysterious and unfathomable Foreign Lands.
But in the various Dynasties, there were few who left the Foreign Lands and returned.
So to the people of the various Dynasties, a Weapons Craftsman at grade three or above was an extremely mysterious existence.
As grade four Weapons Craftsmen, all of them were filled with yearning towards becoming a grade three Weapons Craftsman, and the Pavilion Master was no exception.
"Pavilion Master, the grade four spirit sword in your hands was refined by that grade three Weapons Craftsman," said Duan Ling Tian.
Although all this was casually made up by Duan Ling Tian, he spoke convincingly, and it caused the Pavilion Master to deeply believe him.
"No wonder… No wonder… I was wondering how could a grade four spirit weapon that provided an amplification of 60% possible appear in the Darkhan Dynasty! So it turns out that it’s from a grade three Weapons Craftsman Senior." The Pavilion Master gasped, and the gaze he shot at Duan Ling Tian was completely different.
If it was said that he didn’t really take this young man seriously in the past, then now, he’d instead taken this young man to be an existence that was on the same level as him, and he didn’t dare be discourteous to the young man in the slightest.
Only because this was a young man that knew a grade three Weapons Craftsman!
As far as he was concerned, since this young man was able to make a grade three Weapons Craftsman refine a weapon for him, then this young man surely had a deep relationship with the Weapons Craftsman.
"Little Brother, what’s the relationship between you and the grade three Weapons Craftsman?" The Pavilion Master looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked with slight excitement.
"He’s my Master." Duan Ling Tian spoke straightforwardly.
Master!
"Little Brother, so you’re that Senior’s disciple, I’ve been impolite earlier." The Pavilion Master gasped secretly, and he spoke once more with a serious tone.
The person that stood before him was the disciple of a grade three Weapons Craftsman!
"Pavilion Master, don’t mention it." Duan Ling Tian smiled lightly.
The tremendous change of the attitude of the Pavilion Master before him wasn’t surprising to Duan Ling Tian.
A grade three Weapons Craftsman was sufficient to make many thoughts gush within the Pavilion Master’s mind.
"Little Brother, I’m called Xiang Ying… Besides being the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in the Darkhan Dynasty’s Milky Way City, I’m also the Vice Guild Master of the Darkhan Dynasty’s Weapons Craftsmen Guild’s Main Guild!" The Pavilion Master, Xiang Ying, looked at Duan Ling Tian. "May I know your name, Little Brother?"
Duan Ling Tian was secretly shocked in his heart when he heard Xiang Ying.
He never expected that besides being the Pavilion Master of this Treasure Gathering Pavilion, Xiang Ying actually had another respected identity.
"Pavilion Master, I’m called Duan Ling Tian." Duan Ling Tian introduced himself.
"Duan Ling Tian?" A wisp of astonishment flashed imperceptibly in the eyes of Xiang Ying.
He’d never heard of this name.
"Could it be that he isn’t from the Darkhan Dynasty?" Xiang Ying thought in his heart. "Otherwise, with this person’s shocking strength, it would logically be impossible for him to be a person that isn’t well-known."
"How about I call you brother Ling Tian?" Xiang Ying lightly smiled as he asked.
"I’m overwhelmed by Pavilion Master’s favor of addressing me like that." Duan Ling Tian smiled.
"Brother Ling Tian, may I know where your Master is now? If it’s possible, I hope to be able to personally pay a visit to him." After he found out that Duan Ling Tian was the disciple of a grade three Weapons Craftsman, Xiang Ying was more and more courteous towards Duan Ling Tian.
"Pavilion Master, I’m afraid that’s not possible… That Master of mine usually doesn’t like meeting unfamiliar people. Of course, if Pavilion Master is able to find that Ageless Root, perhaps my Master will be happy and be willing to meet Pavilion Master." Duan Ling Tian shook his head, and then he added an extra sentence at the end.
The reason Duan Ling Tian added these words was naturally because he wanted Xiang Ying to do his very best to find the Ageless Root.
As expected, after he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words, Xiang Ying’s eyes lit up and he had a serious expression. "Don’t worry Brother Ling Tian, I’ll surely do my utmost to find the Ageless Root!" Xiang Ying already had a plan in his heart.
He would utilize his enormous network of relationships to find that Ageless Root.
Just for the sake of meeting that grade three Weapons Craftsman and properly seeking guidance.
"Then I’ll be troubling Pavilion Master… Pavilion Master, it’s getting later and I ought to leave." Duan Ling Tian bid his farewells to Xiang Yin before leaving the fifth floor and leaving the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
"My gains this time aren’t bad." After he left the Treasure Gathering Pavilion and walked out of Milky Way City, a joyful smile hung on the face of Duan Ling Tian who sat on the back of the seventh level Void Prying Stage demon beast and left.
With a raise of his hand, a completely glittering and translucent spirit fruit had appeared in his hand.
It was precisely the Void Reserve Fruit.
A spirit fruit that was comparable to a Void Refining Fruit.
When Duan Ling Tian was at the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom’s Dragon and Phoenix Academy, Duan Ling Tian had gone deep into Blackwind Ridge during the first experience mission to wipe out the bandits, and he’d obtained the additional reward of a Void Refining Fruit at that time.
After he consumed the Void Refining Fruit, his strength had swiftly improved.
"Be obedient!" Duan Ling Tian noticed that after he took out the Void Reserve Fruit, the demon beast beneath him became slightly restless.
Obviously, it was drawn by the Void Reserve Fruit.
Duan Ling Tian swallowed the Void Reserve Fruit with a few bites, and then he consumed a Void Strengthening Pill before closing his eyes and starting to cultivate.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Lightning Wyrm Form!
After he consumed the Void Reserve Fruit, the Origin Energy in Duan Ling Tian’s body was vast and powerful, and it wasn’t long before it arrived at the breakthrough point.
The final charge to the seventh level of the Void Prying Stage was completed ten days later.
Bang!
Within the tough meridians in Duan Ling Tian’s body, his vast Origin Energy gushed out and easily charged through the final bottleneck.
At the same time, a tremendous change occurred in Duan Ling Tian’s Origin Energy.
"I’ve broken through!" Duan Ling Tian abruptly opened his eyes as a bright light flashed within, and slight delight appeared on his face.
Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath before lightly clenching his fists.
Origin Energy suffused his fists and raged atop it.
At the same time, an enormous lifelike silhouette coiled down from the sky above him.
It was precisely an ancient horned dragon silhouette.
Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation had finally broken through to the seventh level of the Void Prying Stage.
"Not much of the medicinal strength of that Void Reserve Fruit still remains… I still have to rely on myself for my future cultivation." Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
"As for the other Spirit Void Fruit that Pavilion Master Xiang gave me, I can only consume it after I break through to the first level of the Void Initiation Stage… Otherwise, it would be too risky."
"Presently, Su Li’s cultivation has probably already broken through to the seventh level of the Void Prying Stage… As for Luo Zhan and the others, it would probably be slightly inferior." Unknowingly, Duan Ling Tian had thought of Su Li and the others again.
"The changes in me after going out this time is probably sufficient to shock them, right?" Duan Ling Tian revealed a brilliant smile.
In next to no time, the smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face was restrained.
"Little Gold… Where exactly are you now?" Duan Ling Tian couldn’t help but feel a wave of worry when he thought of the little gold mouse.
In his eyes, the little gold mouse didn’t have the slightest sense of direction, and wanting her to return to the Darkstone Empire’s Imperial City by herself seemed to be slightly difficult.
"I hope she knows how to ask a human martial artist for the way." Duan Ling Tian could only console himself in this way.
In the following journey, Duan Ling Tian was laden with worry, and he was slightly dispirited to cultivate.
"I’ll almost be able to arrive at the Imperial City in another half a month." After a few months, Duan Ling Tian who’d entered the territory of the Darkstone Empire thought in his heart.
On the way back, Duan Ling Tian took a straight path, so it was extremely efficient.
"The Darkstone Empire’s Young Genius Competition is in a month from now… I’ll be just in time to make it." Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief.
Currently, Duan Ling Tian was situated at the northern area of the Darkstone Empire, whereas, an unexpected guest had arrived at the southern area of the Darkstone Empire.
Swoosh!
A figure in yellow clothes flashed passed in the sky with an extremely swift speed.
Everywhere the figure passed, the clouds and mist were shaken apart and seemed to have transformed into a heavenly road.
The person that way hurrying on was a yellow clothed young girl that looked to be around the age of 16, her appearance was like carved jade, and she was extremely beautiful.
From the young girl’s young face, one could discern that when she matured in the future, she would surely become a drop dead gorgeous beauty.
"Hiss hiss~" Suddenly, two light sounds sounded out from beneath the yellow clothed young girl’s sleeve.
Subsequently, two little heads stuck out from there.
It was precisely two little pythons.
The two little pythons were black and white respectively, the former had a golden single horn on its head, the latter had a silver single horn on its head.
"Little Black, Little White…. We’ll be able to see Big Brother Ling Tian really soon." The young girl rubbed the little heads of the two little pythons as she smiled lightly.
"Hiss hiss~" Suddenly, the little white python raised its head to look at the young girl, and its eyes emitted slight worry.
"Don’t worry." The young girl lightly shook her head. "Qing Nu ought to not come looking for us for the time being… But, after she deals with her business here, she’s probably be coming to look for us. At that time, we’ll have to leave again."
"Hiss hiss~" The two little pythons dropped their little heads, and they were slightly dejected.
"Don’t worry… I’ll surely sneak out again in the future, and I’ll bring the two of you to look for Big Brother Ling Tian."
When they heard the young girl’s promise, the two little pythons quieted down once again.
