Zheng Jian was taken away by the Heavenly Harm Guardian to the Punishment Camp in the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City.
However, he did not come back.
Things were changing in the Latent Dragon Camp.
Li Han, the first person among the Thirteen Gangsters whom Duan Lingtian defeated when he first arrived at the Latent Dragon Camp, had successfully broken through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage.
He wanted to seek revenge from Duan Lingtian as soon as he came out of closed-door cultivation.
However, when he heard that Zheng Jian was defeated by Duan Lingtian, he completely dismissed the thought.
However, he still managed to become one of the Thirteen Gangsters with his own strength.
The ranking of the Thirteen Gangsters changed as well.
Apart from the top four who remained unchanged, Duan Lingtian replaced Zheng Jian who was originally ranked fifth and moved into wooden house No.5.
Zhang Ji Long moved into wooden house No.6.
Guo Li moved into wooden house No.7.
The owner of wooden house No.8 was Hou Lin while the owner of wooden house No.9 was Li Han.
As for the owner of wooden house No.10, it changed a few times within a month. It was only confirmed when another Latent Dragon Camp member broke through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage.
At the same time, the news that Duan Lingtian had become the disciple of the City Governor of Mound Hill City began to spread.
"So Duan Lingtian has become Master City Governor's disciple."
"To be able to become Master City Governor's disciple after Xiong Hu and Jin Yuan Bao, this means that Duan Lingtian's ability has even surpassed Sun Ge who's ranked fourth among the Thirteen Gangsters."
"If he knew Duan Lingtian had become Master City Governor's disciple, I'm afraid Zheng Jian wouldn't have dared to provoke Duan Lingtian even if he was given ten guts."
"Life is unpredictable … Perhaps, even Zheng Jian himself didn't expect that he would be expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp and the City Governor's Estate for killing his distant cousin."
"I heard … Zheng Jian was barely alive when he was expelled from the City Governor's Estate. The Punishment Camp's method is too cruel. "
"I think he's lucky that he's still alive."
…
The run-down wooden huts in the Latent Dragon Camp were always lively.
Because Duan Lingtian had defeated Zheng Jian in one move, Hou Lin and Zhang Ji Long's fear of Duan Lingtian deepened.
Now that they heard that Duan Lingtian had become the disciple of the City Lord, they completely dispelled any thoughts of making an enemy out of Duan Lingtian.
Especially Hou Lin.
Although Duan Lingtian had once thrown him into a septic tank and humiliated him, facing the current Duan Lingtian, he did not have the slightest desire for revenge.
A month had passed since Zheng Jian was expelled from the Latent Dragon Camp and the City Governor's Mansion.
On this day, the leader of the Thirteen Gangsters, Ling Yun, left wooden house No. 1.
As for what he was going to do, everyone knew.
An hour later, Ling Yun returned. Even though his expression was still cold, his eyes were filled with excitement.
"It seems like Ling Yun passed the test that teacher set for him."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself when he saw the joy in Ling Yun's eyes as he walked out of the pavilion on the side of the high platform.
He had entered the pavilion to collect his Holy Stones.
Now that he was ranked fifth among the Thirteen Gangsters, he could collect 900 eighth-grade Holy Stones every month.
"Duan Lingtian, although you're older than me and you're the disciple of Master first … If you want me to call you 'Senior Brother', you'll have to defeat me first."
When Duan Lingtian looked at Ling Yun, Ling Yun was also looking at him and communicating with him using his True Qi through Voice Transmission.
Duan Lingtian only smiled faintly and returned to wooden house No. 5 directly.
After returning to the wooden house, he took out the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda and entered it directly with his mind. He then went to the second floor.
After going to the second floor, he continued to cultivate.
There was a layer of silver luster on his body as if he was wearing a silver suit.
"As the upgraded version of the Copper Shirt, it's been very smooth for me to cultivate the Silver Shirt … Now, I've cultivated it to the Competent Stage."
Duan Lingtian had a satisfied smile on his face.
A month had passed outside, and three months had passed in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda … In three months, Duan Lingtian had successfully cultivated the Silver Shirt to the Competent Stage.
The Competent Stage was the third stage of the Saint Grade Martial Tactic.
The power of the Silver Shirt that had been cultivated to the Advanced Stage was equivalent to the Copper Shirt that had been cultivated to the fifth stage, the Impeccable Level.
"I can feel that … Now, once I perform the Silver Shirt, the power of my body will be much stronger."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
"In another month, I'll have been in the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City for half a year."
Duan Lingtian sighed as he thought to this point.
Of course, the half a year he was talking about was the time in the outside world.
The time in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was much longer than the outside world.
"That's right!"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian seemed to have recalled something. He put away the Silver Shirt and left the second floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. He arrived at the first floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"Huo Lao."
Duan Lingtian looked at Huo Lao who was sitting cross-legged and greeted him.
"What's the matter?"
Huo Lao opened his eyes and asked.
"Huo Lao, I want to ask you … Does my growth ring grow with the passage of time in the outside world or in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?"
Duan Lingtian had thought of this earlier.
If his growth ring grew with the passage of time in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he would be thirty-six years old now.
If it grew with the passage of time in the outside world, he would still be thirty-five years old.
When he first met Lin Qing Rong and Guo Li, he seemed to have just turned thirty-five years old.
"Your growth ring grows with the passage of time in the outside world …"
"The passage of time in the outside world is normal … You can think of it that way. The extra time in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda is equivalent to 'stealing', so it won't affect your growth ring. "
Huo Lao said.
"Stealing? Huo Lao, you mean … When I was in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, my growth ring didn't change? "
Duan Lingtian took a deep breath and tried to suppress his agitated emotions.
"Yes."
Huo Lao nodded. "Since you came to the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City, your growth ring has only grown for half a month … This half a month is the time you spent in the outside world for the past half a year."
"I've been in the City Governor's Estate of Mound Hill City for half a year … In the past half a year, other than the last time I went out for ten days, I only spent five days in the outside world."
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he muttered, "If that's the case … Won't my growth ring grow very slowly?"
"That's right."
Huo Lao nodded. "Your growth ring grows with the passage of time in the outside world … When you were in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, your growth ring didn't change."
"Based on the fact that you've only spent fifteen days in the outside world in the past half a year … Twelve years have passed in the outside world, and your growth ring has only grown by one ring, which means your age has only increased by one year."
Huo Lao continued.
Boom!
Huo Lao's words were like a clap of thunder. Duan Lingtian was so shocked that he could not regain his senses for a long time.
Based on the time he had spent in the outside world in the past half a year …
Twelve years, and his growth ring had only grown by one ring?
"This … Isn't this too much?"
Duan Lingtian muttered to himself with a blank expression on his face. "Based on this calculation … My growth ring has only grown by five rings after sixty years in the outside world. At that time, I'll only be forty years old? "
The corner of Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched when he thought of this.
In fact, in the Dao Martial Saint Land, those below the age of forty were considered young people.
Based on the time he had spent in the outside world in the past half a year, he would only be considered as a young person after sixty years?
At this moment, Duan Lingtian deeply realized how extraordinary the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was.
The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was indeed a top Celestial Supreme Treasure. It could steal the good fortune of Heaven and Earth and steal the cycle of time.
"In the past half a year, I've consumed ten Two Star Sensory Pills to increase my sensitivity to the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. My cultivation has improved tremendously … My egg-sized Qi Sea is almost full now.
Although I don't have any Two Star Sensory Pills now, I'll be able to fill my Qi Sea in a month's time with the help of the 32 Saint Veins in my body to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy to cultivate.
Duan Lingtian continued to mutter to himself.
The next breakthrough would be to break through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage!
Once he broke through to the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage, his Qi Sea would transform again and become bigger … At that time, the transformed and enlarged Qi Sea would be able to store more True Energy.
Not only that, after his Qi Sea metamorphosed and expanded, he would also open more Saint meridians and open more Saint meridians.
The increase of Saint Veins would affect the speed of the True Energy in his body, directly affecting his strength.
'With the True Energy in my Qi Sea, I'm confident I can defeat any Martial or Dao Cultivator at the Mastery Mortal Shedding Stage even if I don't use the Silver Shirt!'
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
Currently, he was only a Martial Cultivator at the Intermediate Mortal Shedding Stage.
'Once I break through to the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage … Even if I've just broken through, I'm confident I can defeat most Martial and Dao Cultivators at the Perfection Mortal Shedding Stage with the help of the Silver Shirt!'
Duan Lingtian was filled with confidence.
After taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Duan Lingtian sat cross-legged in the air and began to cultivate.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Nine Dragons Form!
As he cultivated the mental cultivation method in his body, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the air and Saint Stones were continuously absorbed into his body.
After the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy entered his body, it was transported by the nine dragons and turned into True Energy that merged with his Qi Sea.
With this cycle, the True Energy in his Qi Sea continued to increase.
Soon, a month had passed in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda … At this moment, the Qi Sea in between Duan Lingtian's brows was finally filled to the brim with True Energy.
'My True Energy is now full … Now, I can try to open up a bigger Qi Sea!'
Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed within.
Then, he closed his eyes again and continued to cultivate.
