'Xue Nai even gave me a fourth-grade Saint Stone … The durability of a fourth-grade Saint Stone is equivalent to ten fifth-grade Saint Stones according to the conversion ratio between different grades of Saint Stones in the Dao Martial Saint Land.'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
'With my current cultivation base and cultivation speed, I'll still have a lot of leftovers after breaking through to the Early Mortal Shedding Stage with one fifth-grade Saint Stone.'
Soon after, Duan Lingtian closed his eyes again and began to cultivate seriously.
The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy from the second level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and the fifth-grade Saint Stone continued to surge into his body.
The Ninth Form of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, the Nine Dragons Form mental cultivation method transformed into nine dragons that carried the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy along the fifteen Saint Veins and circulated the Great Circulatory Cycle before transforming it into True Energy that merged with the Qi Sea in between Duan Lingtian's brows.
The True Energy continued to increase in the Qi Sea that was the size of a pigeon's egg.
Although it only increased a little each time, as the saying went, 'A little makes a mickle', it would be full sooner or later.
When it was full, it would be the time for Duan Lingtian to break through to the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage.
'It's much easier to cultivate from the Early Mortal Shedding Stage to the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage compared to Emperor Wu breaking through from the Peak Mortal Shedding Stage to the Early Mortal Shedding Stage …'
Duan Lingtian knew this very well.
After all, the latter required one to merge the Profundity with the Origin Energy and transform it into True Energy. Apart from that, one also had to open the Saint Veins. It was extremely tedious.
However, the former was much simpler.
Once the Qi Sea was filled with True Energy, he would break through and open the Saint Veins. That was it.
Cultivation knew no time. Two and a half months passed very quickly … Duan Lingtian who was woken up by Huo Lao left the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and returned to cottage No. 12.
After putting away the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Duan Lingtian had just opened the door when Guo Li stood in front of his door.
"Duan Lingtian, it's time for us to collect our Saint Stones."
Guo Li said to Duan Lingtian.
"Is it today?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"From today onwards, you can receive the Holy Stones within three days … The place to receive the Holy Stones is very close. It's the pavilion next to the wooden house where we, the Thirteen Grand Guardians, live."
Guo Li said.
"That pavilion?"
Duan Lingtian was surprised. He remembered that pavilion. He had seen it when he first arrived at the Latent Dragon Camp.
At that time, he was still wondering what that place was.
From the looks of it, it should be the residence of the powerhouse from the City Governor's Mansion. That powerhouse was usually in charge of guarding the members of the Latent Dragon Camp.
After all, there were rules in the Latent Dragon Camp.
As for rules and regulations, there had to be someone to supervise them in order to be effective.
"Let's go."
Duan Lingtian walked out of the room and walked towards the pavilion with Guo Li.
Along the way, the two of them attracted the gazes of many people.
"Are they Duan Lingtian and Guo Li?"
"That's right! A month ago, they had just entered the ranks of the Thirteen Grand Guardians. "
"What a perfect match … Are they a couple?"
…
Many people saw Duan Lingtian and Guo Li and chatted along the way. Some of them even thought they were a couple.
Upon hearing these comments, Duan Lingtian did not mind at all. He merely smiled and brushed it off …
However, it was different for Guo Li. Her beautiful face had a hint of redness.
"Hi! Duan Lingtian. "
As soon as they arrived near the pavilion, Duan Lingtian saw someone greeting him. When he took a closer look, he realized it was Zhu Lang.
"Zhu Lang, why are you alone? Where's Hu Jie? "
Duan Lingtian asked curiously when he saw Zhu Lang was alone.
"Hmph! He's now in a higher position … As it turns out, the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage powerhouse who's ranked fifth among the Thirteen Grand Guardians is his distant cousin. "
Zhu Lang snorted.
"Isn't that great? You have a good relationship with him. He can take care of you in the future. "
Duan Lingtian smiled.
"Take care of me? As long as he doesn't kill me. "
Zhu Lang laughed at himself. Then, he looked at Guo Li and said, "Guo Li, you're also from a ninth-rate clan so you should know best … Hu Jie and I might be in the same boat in the beginning. However, what do you think he'll do to me when he has someone to rely on? "
"He'll get rid of you for his clan."
Guo Li was not surprised at all.
Zhu Lang and Hu Jie were similar to her and Ye Man, the genius from the Yeh family in Fuyu Town who was replaced by Duan Lingtian.
"I'll make a move first."
After bidding farewell to Duan Lingtian and Guo Li, Zhu Lang jumped down from the high platform and returned to his wooden house.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and followed Guo Li into the pavilion.
The person in charge of distributing Origin Stones every month was the Heavenly Harm Guardian who supervised the Latent Dragon Camp. The Heavenly Harm Guardian was ranked 14th among the 36 Guardians.
"Guo Li, 100 eighth-grade Saint Stones."
"Duan Lingtian, 200 eighth-grade Saint Stones."
The Heavenly Harm Guardian had a straight face from the beginning to the end. He handed the Saint Stones to Duan Lingtian and Guo Li in a daze … The two of them thanked him after receiving the Origin Stones.
"Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage?"
During this time, Duan Lingtian used his Divine Eye to check the Heavenly Harm Guardian and saw through his strength.
Duan Lingtian was not surprised by this.
Without a cultivation base above Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage, one would not be able to control the Latent Dragon Camp at all … At the very least, one would not be able to control the top few of the Thirteen Gangsters.
Duan Lingtian did not notice this.
When he and Guo Li turned around to leave, the Heavenly Harm Guardian lifted his head and looked at his back … It was as if he was different from the rest.
After leaving the pavilion, Duan Lingtian and Guo Li walked back.
"Duan Lingtian, the members of the Latent Dragon Camp have a chance to go out once every three months … Do you plan to go out when?"
Guo Li asked as she looked at Duan Lingtian.
"No."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "There's nothing to do even if I go out."
"I don't plan to go out either … Who knows if the two clans have sent someone to hide outside the City Governor's Mansion and wait to kill me?"
Guo Li added.
"They dare to come to Mound Hill City to kill you?"
Duan Lingtian was shocked.
"Why wouldn't they dare … If they have the chance, they'll even dare to sneak into the City Governor's Mansion to kill me," Guo Li said.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"Aren't they afraid that the City Governor's Mansion will blame them?"
Duan Lingtian frowned.
As far as he knew, even Fuyu Town was under the jurisdiction of Mound Hill City. It was also under the jurisdiction of Mound Hill City.
"Blame them?"
Guo Li shook her head. "I'm not qualified for the City Governor's Mansion to do anything for me now … Even if I'm killed now, the City Governor's Mansion won't blame the two clans in Fuyu Town.
Unless I can prove my worth and gain the City Governor's Mansion's approval … Then, I'll be safe. "
Guo Li continued.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"You're Duan Lingtian who defeated Li Han and became the new 12th Gangster of the Thirteen Gangsters? Give me half of the Saint Stones you received. "
Duan Lingtian and Guo Li had just arrived in front of the wooden house when a voice came from nearby.
Then, Duan Lingtian and Guo Li saw a black-clad young man walking out of wooden house No.6 toward them.
The black-clad young man was tall with broad shoulders and a round waist. When he walked, it was as if he was a dragon or a tiger.
"It's Zhang Ji Long who's ranked sixth among the Thirteen Gangsters."
"Zhang Ji Long extorts Saint Stones from the Thirteen Gangsters ranked below him every month with his powerful strength … But didn't he start extorting from the last person in the past?"
"He must have taken pity on her because she's a woman."
…
At this moment, the group of young men below the high platform had their eyes on Duan Lingtian and Guo Li as well as Zhang Ji Long.
Whether it was the wooden house below the high platform or the wooden house on the high platform, many people walked out.
They came out to watch the show when they heard the commotion.
In the face of Zhang Ji Long who came with ill intentions, Duan Lingtian looked at him with a calm expression.
He quietly activated his Divine Eye.
Zhang Ji Long, 32 years old, cultivation base at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage.
"Why should I give it to you?"
Duan Lingtian sneered as he glanced at Zhang Ji Long nonchalantly.
"Now, it's not just half … I want all the Saint Stones you've received earlier! Give me two hundred Saint Stones. "
Zhang Ji Long looked calm as he stood in front of Duan Lingtian. However, his words were arrogant and domineering.
"Idiot!"
Duan Ling Tian stared coldly at Zhang Ji Long as he spat out two words unhurriedly.
Idiot!
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, the entire place was in an uproar.
"Is this Duan Lingtian crazy?"
"H-How dare he call Zhang Ji Long an idiot? I'm not dreaming, am I? Ah! That hurts! Why are you pinching my leg? "
"This is going to be interesting!"
…
The group of young men and women below the high platform looked at the high platform with interest.
Usually, they would only cultivate and cultivate. It was quite boring … Occasionally, there would be conflicts that they could watch, but they were all excited.
On the high platform, apart from the Thirteen Gangsters who were at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage who were ranked in the top five, the remaining Thirteen Gangsters who were at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage also walked out of the wooden house.
They looked at Duan Lingtian and Zhang Ji Long who were facing each other with interest. Similar to the group of young men below the high platform, they also came out to watch the show.
Naturally, they had one thing in common.
That was … they were all targets of Zhang Ji Long's blackmail.
Today, they had given half of the Origin Stones they had received to Zhang Ji Long.
They did not want to give it to him.
However, they had no choice but to give it to him. If they did not give it to him, they would definitely be beaten up by Zhang Ji Long until they could not get up for a month. Then, their cultivation would be delayed.
Therefore, they obediently gave half of the Saint Stones they received to Zhang Ji Long every month.
"Brat, don't think that you're so great just because you defeated Li Han a month ago … In front of me, Li Han can't even last half a move."
Zhang Ji Long looked at Duan Lingtian calmly. Although his tone was calm, anyone who was sensitive would be able to sense the hidden anger in it.
If Zhang Jilong was compared to a volcano, then he was on the verge of erupting.
In his eyes, whether it was Li Han or Duan Lingtian, they were insignificant characters that were not worth mentioning.
However, today, such a small character actually dared to disobey him!
He felt that his dignity was being challenged. It was a blatant challenge!
"So what?"
Duan Lingtian still had a sneer on his face. "If you want the Saint Stones in my hands, you can come and get them yourself … If you don't dare to, disappear from my sight immediately!"
"No … There's no need to disappear. I almost forgot, you … You're ranked sixth among the Thirteen Gangsters? "
