The middle-aged man's face flushed red, and he wanted to struggle free, but he was unable to.
"What? Unconvinced?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze went cold as he exerted force on his leg.
The middle-aged man's face went pale, and his body started to tremble …
Suddenly.
Duan Lingtian withdrew his leg.
The middle-aged man gasped for breath and only recovered after a long time, then he stared at Duan Lingtian with an icy cold gaze.
Duan Lingtian didn't mind as he said indifferently, "Serve me as your master, and I can help you remove the Origin Restriction Gu in your body."
"You know about the Origin Restriction Gu?"
The middle-aged man's pupils constricted, and his face was filled with astonishment.
As far as he was concerned, logically speaking, it was impossible for anyone to know about the Origin Restriction Gu in this tiny kingdom.
But the violet-clothed youth before him seemed to have a deep understanding of the Origin Restriction Gu.
Most importantly, he saw the Boundless Sect's Young Sect Leader's spatial ring in the violet-clothed youth's hand.
"You can really remove the Origin Restriction Gu in my body?"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, and his eyes flickered.
"What? You doubt me?"
Duan Lingtian swept the middle-aged man with a cold and indifferent gaze, then said indifferently, "Now, tell me why you were inflicted with the Origin Restriction Gu, and why you appeared in the Crimson Sky Kingdom."
The middle-aged man caught his breath. "I'm called Xiong Quan, a Guardian of the Boundless Sect. The Boundless Sect suffered a calamity of annihilation, and I escaped with the Young Sect Leader. For the sake of preserving our lives, we each led away our pursuers … Later on, although I was lucky enough to escape, the Origin Restriction Gu from before flared up, and I walked for a while in a sorry state before fainting from exhaustion. When I awoke once again, I discovered that I was locked up, and was branded with a slave mark! "
As he finished speaking, Xiong Quan gnashed his teeth.
The dignified Boundless Sect's Guardian had actually become a slave now …
At the beginning, he even wanted to die.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
He believed that he would be able to remove the Origin Restriction Gu sooner or later and recover his strength.
At that time, he would kill all the people that branded him with a slave mark!
"So that's how it is … Your spatial ring was actually not taken away by them."
Duan Lingtian glanced at Xiong Quan's right hand.
There was a rusty ring on Xiong Quan's right middle finger. Others would not even take a second look at it, but Duan Lingtian could tell that it was a storage ring.
Perhaps it was precisely because Xiong Quan's storage ring was inconspicuous that it wasn't taken away.
Xiong Quan put away the storage ring with a cautious expression.
"Remove the ownership. Leave it to me!"
Duan Ling Tian was stunned as he shouted.
Xiong Quan's expression changed as a bitter look appeared on his face. He reluctantly removed the Storage Ring and handed it over to Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian dripped a drop of blood on it and opened it to take a look.
However, he discovered that there were only some seventh-grade medicinal pills and a seventh-grade spirit weapon narrow saber.
"That's it?"
Duan Lingtian frowned as he removed the ownership of the storage ring and threw it back to Xiong Quan.
Trash?
Xiong Quan's mouth twitched.
Who exactly was this young man? How could he call a seventh-grade spirit artifact and a seventh-grade pill trash?
"Little … little brother …"
Xiong Quan looked at Duan Lingtian, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Duan Lingtian. "Who's your brother! I'll give you one last chance. If you don't acknowledge me as your master, I won't let you live, not to mention detoxifying your poison. "
As he spoke, Duan Lingtian emitted a dense killing intent.
Xiong Quan took a deep breath.
However, he still spoke calmly. "I want to know what happened to Young Sect Leader. If Young Sect Leader was killed by you, I'd rather die than acknowledge you as my master! "
Duan Lingtian looked at Xiong Quan in surprise. "I couldn't tell that you had such a backbone."
Xiong Quan snorted.
"When I found your Young Sect Leader, he was already on his last breath. He left me a 'voice transmission jade slip' and instructed me to pass the other one to an old man called 'Shangguan Yan'. After I detoxify your poison and let you recover your elemental energy, I'll pass the voice transmission jade slip to you to determine if it's real or fake. "
Duan Lingtian said indifferently.
"Young Sect Leader!"
Xiong Quan cried out sorrowfully, tears flowing down his old face.
Finally, he held back his tears and bowed to Duan Lingtian. "Xiong Quan greets Master."
Duan Lingtian glanced at Xiong Quan indifferently. "I can do my best to detoxify your poison, but I'll also leave a backup plan … I'll let you consume another type of strong poison."
Xiong Quan's expression changed.
"Don't worry, the strong poison I'll let you consume will only act up once every six months. As long as you consume the antidote within six months, you'll be safe for half a year … This is also the method I'll use to prevent you from going back on your words after you recover your elemental energy."
Duan Lingtian added.
Xiong Quan's eyes flashed and his face was filled with bitterness.
He didn't expect this young man to be so far-sighted …
Just now, he indeed had this thought.
"Don't have any thoughts of being lucky, I'm an alchemist myself."
Duan Lingtian withdrew the Alchemist Guild's grade nine alchemist badge and waved it before Xiong Quan's eyes before putting it away.
"Grade nine alchemist …"
Xiong Quan's expression froze. This young man that looked to be only 17 years old was a grade nine alchemist?
Even in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, there wasn't such a young grade nine alchemist.
"Come back with me tomorrow, I'll refine a medicinal pill to detoxify the Origin Restriction Parasite for you. However, my current cultivation is limited, so the medicinal pill I refine can at most detoxify one-third of the Origin Restriction Parasite's medicinal strength … What was your cultivation when you were at your peak? "
Duan Lingtian asked Xiong Quan as he spoke.
"Sixth level of the Void Prying Stage."
Xiong Quan said respectfully.
"Sixth level of the Void Prying Stage?"
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he stretched out his hand to rub his chin. "After detoxifying one-third of the medicinal strength, your cultivation ought to be able to recover to the Nascent Soul Stage. As for how many levels of the Nascent Soul Stage you can recover to, it'll depend on your fortune. "
"I can't fully recover?"
Xiong Quan's expression froze and was slightly disappointed.
"Hmph! I'm only a grade nine alchemist now, so my Pill Fire is restricted … Once I step into the Origin Core Stage, I'll be able to become a grade eight alchemist. At that time, I'll be able to refine medicinal pills to help you detoxify one-third of the medicinal strength. Once I step into the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage and become a grade seven alchemist, I'll be able to help you completely detoxify the medicinal strength! "
"In other words, once I step into the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage, your cultivation will recover to your peak!"
Duan Lingtian swept Xiong Quan with a cold and indifferent gaze. "What? Can't wait?"
"No."
Xiong Quan hurriedly shook his head. To him, being able to recover his Origin Energy in his lifetime was already not bad.
Earlier, he'd been possessed for a moment.
At dawn the next day, Duan Lingtian brought Xiong Quan along as he followed Yang Da back to Iron Blood City.
At this moment, Xiong Quan had already worn a mask that could cover half his face, covering his slave brand.
After returning to Iron Blood City, Duan Lingtian gave Xiong Quan some silver and asked him to stay at a designated inn before following Yang Da back to the Iron Blood Army's campsite.
Only at this moment did Duan Lingtian find out.
He was the first member of the Genius Camp to complete a mission and return.
"There's only a month left before the one year deadline …. The other 28 people actually haven't completed their missions and returned! Looks like the place they went is extremely far. "
Duan Lingtian's heart slightly jerked as he secretly guessed.
As expected, Duan Lingtian was once again summoned by the Iron Blood Army's Commander, Teng Yunhai.
This time, Teng Yunhai specially set up a welcoming banquet for Duan Lingtian.
At the welcoming banquet, besides Teng Yunhai and the Vice Commander, Qiao Qingshan, the seven Captains, including Yang Da, were shockingly present ….
All the high-ranking generals stationed at the Iron Blood Army's campsite had arrived.
"Duan Lingtian, we represent the Iron Blood Army to toast you with this cup of wine! From today onwards, the Black Armored Army is nothing to fear! "
Teng Yunhai laughed heartily as he picked up a wine cup.
The others followed suit and picked up wine cups.
To the Iron Blood Army, the Black Armored Army losing the assistance of the Lian Clan was equivalent to losing a pair of wings.
"Cheers!"
Duan Lingtian also picked up a wine cup and drank it in one gulp.
"Satisfying! They all say that heroes come from the youth. This time, my horizons have truly been broadened. "
One of the Captains looked at Duan Lingtian and took the lead to praise him.
Subsequently, the remaining Captains weren't stingy with their praises for Duan Lingtian.
After the banquet ended, Duan Lingtian followed Teng Yunhai to the largest tent in the Iron Blood Army's campsite, which was also the tent of the Commander, Teng Yunhai.
"Duan Lingtian, I didn't expect that you would really complete that mission."
Teng Yunhai sighed with emotion.
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed, "What? Since Commander isn't confident, why did you still assign that mission to me?"
Teng Yunhai laughed, "From your tone, it seems that you have some resentment?"
"Commander, where's my proof of enrollment?"
Not answering Teng Yunhai, Duan Lingtian spread out his hands. Obviously, he wasn't in the mood to stay here for long.
Teng Yunhai raised his hand and passed a certificate to Duan Lingtian. "The time to report to Paladin Academy is half a year later to a year later. After you return, you can prepare to depart … If you bring your family and travel by horse carriage from Aurora City to the Imperial City, it would take at least a year's time."
"You investigated me?"
Duan Lingtian frowned and was slightly displeased.
"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions."
Teng Yunhai always had a smile on his face.
"Farewell."
Duan Lingtian put away the proof of enrollment, then turned around and left.
"He's young, but his temper isn't small … Duan Rufeng, you have a good son."
Teng Yunhai's eyes flashed with a trace of envy.
Now that Duan Lingtian had passed the Genius Camp's training, the restriction order for the Genius Camp members was lifted, and he could freely enter and leave the Iron Blood Army's campsite.
After he left the Iron Blood Army's campsite, he found a few medicine shops and gathered enough medicinal herbs before going to the inn to look for Xiong Quan.
"Master."
Xiong Quan was very tactful now, and he was respectful and reverent in front of Duan Lingtian.
"Stand guard for me, I'll refine the antidote for you."
Duan Lingtian flicked his sleeve and directly entered the room.
Xiong Quan replied excitedly when he heard this, and he respectfully stood guard outside the door like a guardian.
In the room, Duan Lingtian first classified all the medicinal herbs, then he picked them up one by one and placed them into the cauldron …
Alchemy fire appeared and was pressed into the cauldron.
Chi!
The flame shot out, and the cauldron became restless.
