Whoosh!
After Duan Lingtian and Xiong Quan entered the city, the ice coffin that followed them like a shadow quickly attracted the attention of many passersby.
The ice coffin was too eye-catching.
Even so, not many people took a second look at the ice coffin. In this world where the strong were respected, one had to be careful no matter what one did.
If one was not careful, one could be doomed eternally!
Soon, Duan Lingtian and Xiong Quan entered a restaurant and found a seat by the window.
Boom!
Under Duan Lingtian's control, the ice coffin landed steadily on the table next door.
In an instant, all the customers in the restaurant looked over.
"What a beautiful woman!"
Some of the sharp-eyed people quickly saw the woman in red lying in the ice coffin. Even with the ice coffin between, the woman in red's peerless beauty could not be hidden.
"She's full of vitality. Why is she lying in the ice coffin?"
Many people were puzzled.
"Maybe she's suffering from some incurable disease."
Someone guessed.
Regardless, the appearance of the ice coffin had become the most eye-catching scene in the restaurant, attracting the attention of all the patrons.
Such a scene was not common.
However, Duan Lingtian's action of bringing the ice coffin along and occupying another table was undoubtedly a little overbearing.
"Sir, you …"
Soon, the restaurant owner instructed the waiter to come over and look at Duan Lingtian.
"I'll pay for two tables of wine when I settle the bill."
Duan Lingtian interrupted the waiter. Naturally, he could guess what the waiter wanted to say. The waiter wanted to say that he had occupied another table and was affecting their business.
Both the waiter and the restaurant owner were speechless.
After ordering some dishes and asking the waiter to prepare them, Duan Lingtian leaned against the window and narrowed his eyes at the passersby outside the restaurant. He had a calm expression on his face.
At this moment, he finally calmed down a little.
When he was outside, he would often encounter rampant bandits, so he did not dare to relax easily.
Now, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Young Master, what's our next step?"
Xiong Quan looked at Duan Lingtian and asked curiously.
He had no idea what Duan Lingtian was planning.
"When the waiter serves the dishes later, ask him which force is the strongest in the Northern Mountain Land … After he confirms it, we'll pay that force a visit!"
Duan Lingtian said.
When he reached the end of his sentence, his eyes landed on the ice coffin on the neighboring table. To be more precise, he was looking at the red-clad lady inside the ice coffin.
The peerless beauty of the woman in red completely attracted his gaze, making it difficult for him to move his gaze away.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with tenderness, as if they could melt everything.
"Tianwu, I will definitely wake you up as soon as possible … Wait for me."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"Yes."
Although Xiong Quan did not know why his Young Master wanted to go to the most powerful force in the Northern Mountain Land, he did not ask. He believed that his Young Master must have a plan for doing so.
What he had to do was to follow the Young Master and handle the trivial matters for him.
Soon after, the dishes were served one after another.
"Waiter, I would like to ask … Which force is the strongest in the Northern Mountain Land?"
Xiong Quan asked the waiter according to Duan Lingtian's instructions.
"Sir, this must be your first time in our Northern Mountain Land, right?"
The waiter asked as his eyes flashed.
"That's right."
Xiong Quan nodded.
"Sir, the strongest forces in our Northern Mountain Land are the two great clans … One of them is the Ou Clan, and the other is the Lu Clan."
The waiter smiled as he answered Xiong Quan's question.
"Two great clans? Ou Clan? Lu Clan? "
Before Xiong Quan returned to his senses, Duan Lingtian who was sitting at the side had already raised his eyebrows as he thought to himself, "It can't be that coincidental, right?"
Duan Lingtian still remembered that when he, Feng Tianwu, and Feng Wu Dao left the Darming Dynasty and headed to the Ancient Desert City, the pair of siblings that Feng Wu Dao saved seemed to be from the Northern Mountain's Lu Clan.
The Northern Mountain's Lu Clan was one of the two strongest forces in the Northern Mountain Land?
"Merely two clans were actually able to become the two strongest forces in the Northern Mountain Land … How shocking."
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed as he revealed an astonished expression.
Of course, he knew very well in his heart that since these two clans were able to become the two strongest forces in the Northern Mountain Land, they surely had some ability.
"Clans?"
Xiong Quan was surprised when he heard the waiter's words.
One had to know that the difference between a clan and a sect was not just a little bit.
No matter what, a clan revolved around the direct descendants and passed down their bloodline.
No matter how outstanding the other branch family disciples and disciples with another surname were, it was difficult for them to stand out. In the end, they would at most become elders or revered elders.
It was utterly impossible for the branch family disciples and disciples with another surname to touch the position of Patriarch.
Because of this, it was extremely difficult for a clan to become truly strong.
On the other hand, sects were not merely limited to passing down their bloodline. Those who were capable would rise in the sky. So long as one had the ability, one could even become the leader of a sect.
Therefore, it greatly increased the enthusiasm of the sect disciples.
This was especially true in the Foreign Lands where powerhouses were as common as trees in a forest. The difference between clans and sects was undoubtedly even more obvious.
However, in the northern desert, the two clans were actually the strongest?
Unbelievable!
Whether it was Duan Lingtian or Xiong Quan, both of them were astonished by this.
"Dear guests, I heard that the two strongest forces in the Northern Mountain Land are the two clans. Don't you find it strange?"
The waiter could not help but ask when he saw the astonishment on Duan Lingtian and Xiong Quan's faces. It was obvious he could guess what both of them were thinking.
Duan Lingtian and Xiong Quan did not deny it and nodded in unison.
"Dear guests, you might not know this … Our Northern Mountain Land's Ou Clan and Lu Clan are different from ordinary clans. It's said that these two clans have been passed down for 10,000 years! "
The waiter had a solemn expression on his face when he reached the end of his sentence.
10,000 years!
One must admit that the waiter's words shocked Duan Lingtian and Xiong Quan.
A clan that had been passed down for 10,000 years?
How strong was their foundation?
It was difficult for them to imagine.
"There must be a reason why those two clans could be passed down for 10,000 years, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked as he looked at the waiter.
He had a feeling that no matter if it was the Northern Mountain's Ou Clan or the Northern Mountain's Lu Clan, they were definitely not simple.
"You're wise, dear guest."
The waiter smiled. "There's indeed a reason why those two clans could be passed down for 10,000 years … It's because they're a weapons craftsman clan and an alchemist clan respectively!"
Weapons craftsman clan?
Alchemist clan?
The moment the waiter's words left his mouth, it made Duan Lingtian even more puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"It means … More than 50% of the people in one of the clans are weapons craftsmen, and more than 50% of the people in the other clan are alchemists."
The waiter continued to explain to Duan Lingtian.
"More than 50% of the people in one of the clans are weapons craftsmen?"
"More than 50% of the people in the other clan are alchemists?
As soon as the attendant finished speaking, no matter if it was Duan Ling Tian or Xiong Quan, they were both dumbstruck.
On Cloud Continent, who did not know that a high innate talent in weapons craftsmanship and medicine refinement was required to become a weapons craftsman and alchemist?
If one's innate talent was insufficient, it would be impossible to become a grade nine weapons craftsman and alchemist.
However, someone was telling them now.
There was a clan where more than 50% of the people in it were weapons craftsmen.
There was another clan where more than 50% of the people in it were alchemists.
"Yes."
The waiter nodded. He was not surprised by Duan Lingtian and Xiong Quan's surprise.
He had seen too many people with similar expressions.
Without exception, those people were either people who were coming to the Northern Mountain Land for the first time or people who were learning about the two strongest forces in the Northern Mountain Land for the first time.
"It's said that 10,000 years ago, the Ou Clan and the Lu Clan established themselves in the Northern Mountain Land at almost the same time … The Ou Clan's Ancestor was a grade one weapons craftsman. On the other hand, the Lu Clan's Ancestor was a grade one alchemist. "
"Ever since the Ou Clan and the Lu Clan established themselves, the two clans have focused on the Dao of Weapons Craftsmanship and Dao of Medicine Refinement respectively … Until today, the two clans have become the famous weapons craftsman clan and alchemist clan in the Northern Mountain Land."
The waiter continued.
Grade one weapons craftsman!
Grade one alchemist!
Duan Lingtian could not help but be shocked.
It did not cross his mind that there would be grade one weapons craftsmen and alchemists outside of the Foreign Lands' central area. Moreover, they were from two clans.
"In the 10,000 years of history of the two clans, there were more than ten grade one weapons craftsmen and alchemists respectively … All of them had gone to the Inner Land on the other side of the Ruo Shui River."
"They were once the Revered Elders and Foreign Advisors of the first-rate forces. They refined spirit weapons and pills for the first-rate forces … Because of this, they formed a lot of good karma. This is the main reason why the Ou Clan and the Lu Clan were able to survive for 10,000 years."
"When the first-rate forces accepted the grade one weapons craftsmen and alchemists of the Ou Clan and the Lu Clan as their Revered Elders and Foreign Officials, they would publicly promise them that as long as the first-rate forces existed, they would not allow the Ou Clan and the Lu Clan to be annihilated!"
"Due to this reason, although many forces have set their sights on the Ou Clan and the Lu Clan for the past 10,000 years, they did not dare to annihilate the Ou Clan and the Lu Clan. This allowed the two clans to develop until today and become a colossus in the Northern Mountain Land!"
The waiter patiently explained the history of the Ou Clan and the Lu Clan to Duan Lingtian and Xiong Quan. He also explained the reason why they could remain standing for 10,000 years.
"Even now, the first-rate forces in the Inner Land might be able to annihilate the Ou Clan and the Lu Clan, but they would not dare to do so! This was because as long as they dared to do so, they would be attacked by at least three first-rate forces. They might even be annihilated! "
"The relationship between the Ou Clan and the Lu Clan is too terrifying … This is the wealth left behind by the ancestors of the two clans."
