"No …. It can't be …. How could he possibly produce 5,000,000 silver!?"
Xiao He's expression was extremely unsightly as he looked at the stack of silver in Ye Lun's hand. He was unwilling to believe that all this was real.
Now, he realized that he had fallen into the violet-clothed youth's trap!
But, in the depths of his heart, he was still unwilling to believe that this youth was a Grade Nine Alchemist.
Of course, he was even more unwilling!
Only he himself knew how much effort he had put in to become a Grade Nine Alchemist at the age of 20.
He was unwilling to believe that there was someone in the younger generation of the Crimson Sky Kingdom that had a natural talent in alchemy that surpassed him!
Duan Lingtian's brows raised.
He naturally noticed Xiao He's expression, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of pity in his heart ….
Today, if it wasn't for Xiao He looking for trouble, he would have already accepted an assignment and gone to earn money.
When completing an assignment of the Alchemist Guild, one could choose between a reward of points or a reward of gold and silver. Duan Lingtian had come here precisely to accept an assignment and earn money ….
As for the Alchemist Guild points, when he was still in Aurora City, he'd swindled 5,000 points from Su Mo, and it was temporarily enough.
Since Xiao He took the initiative to look for trouble, then he would have to pay the price ….
5,000,000 silver was the price that Xiao He had to pay!
Actually, even Duan Lingtian never imagined that he would actually encounter such a pleasant surprise after coming to the Alchemist Guild's headquarters. It had completely exceeded his expectations.
5,000,000 silver was obtained without the slightest effort!
He wished for nothing more than to encounter such a good thing a few more times.
When he saw the gazes of everyone present descending onto him, the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth held a smile as he raised his hand with his palm facing up.
Hiss!
A strand of milky white Pill Fire instantly emerged from Duan Lingtian's hand and slowly flickered ….
Silence.
At this moment, the entire Alchemist Guild's hall was deathly silent.
Everyone's gazes descended onto the Pill Fire in Duan Lingtian's hand, and they were unable to recover from their shock for a long time.
Grade Nine Pill Fire!
If it was only a Grade Nine Pill Fire, it wouldn't be enough to shock them.
However, a Grade Nine Pill Fire appearing in the hands of an 18-year-old youth was sufficient to cause them to be shocked to the point of being unable to sleep for a few days …
An eighteen year old ninth grade alchemist, what kind of monster was this?!
Ye Lun was the first to react. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Duan Lingtian. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He never imagined that such an outstanding alchemist would actually appear in their Crimson Sky Kingdom!
This was a true genius alchemist!
Xiao He simply couldn't compare to him!
Immediately after, everyone present reacted. For a moment, the entire Alchemist Association's main hall was filled with the sound of people sucking in cold breaths. It rose and fell continuously for a long time …
"An 18-year-old Level Nine Alchemist. I wonder which family he comes from?!"
"Yeah, such a genius alchemist is simply a first in our Crimson Sky Kingdom … Even our Alchemist Guild's Guild Master, an existence from the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, supposedly only became a Grade Nine Alchemist when he was almost 20 years old."
"If that's the case, then this young man's talent is even more monstrous than the president's! His future accomplishments might even surpass the president's? "
"The president is the one and only Grade Six Alchemist in our Crimson Sky Kingdom. If this kid surpasses him, then wouldn't he have a chance to become a Grade Five Alchemist?"
"Monster! A monstrous genius! "
...
The surrounding crowd of spectators weren't stingy in the slightest as they praised Duan Lingtian.
Some people's gazes descended onto Xiao He, and they couldn't help but shake their heads …
They understood.
Xiao He, the publically acknowledged most genius alchemist in the younger generation of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, at the instant the violet-clothed youth condensed a Grade Nine Pill Fire, the genius halo above his head had already become a thing of the past, completely becoming history.
This violet-clothed youth was the true genius alchemist in the younger generation of the Crimson Sky Kingdom!
Compared to him, Xiao He couldn't even compare to trash!
Xiao He's body was trembling. Now that he'd recovered from his shock, he quickly noticed the numerous gazes of pity that were looking at him …
At this moment, he only felt his heart trembling!
One year ago, he became a Grade Nine Alchemist at the age of 20. How awe-inspiring was that!
But now, he'd been surpassed by a youth, and even lost 500 silver to the youth …
All of this caused him to be unable to show his face!
As far as he was concerned, the gazes of the surrounding people seemed to be mocking and ridiculing him!
"Vice Guild Master, I'll get someone to deliver the 200 silver to you later."
Xiao He's voice was hoarse and low as he coldly swept Duan Lingtian with his gaze. After deeply memorizing Duan Lingtian's appearance, he left the Alchemist Guild and only left behind these words.
If Xiao He knew that Duan Lingtian's current appearance was only the effect of a disguise, it was unknown what expression he would have.
Everyone present understood that it probably wouldn't be long before today's matter would spread throughout the entire Imperial City …
At that time, Xiao He would really lose face!
"Kid, here's your 1,000 silver."
Ye Lun privately withdrew another 2,000,000 silver and combined it with the 8,000,000 silver in his possession before passing it to Duan Lingtian.
"Thank you, Vice Guild Master!"
Duan Lingtian put away the 10,000,000 silver and lightly smiled to Ye Lun.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Duan Lingtian noticed that there were a few greedy gazes within the surrounding crowd that were descending onto him.
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a sneer.
Were they eyeing his money?
"Kid, how about we go inside and have a chat?"
Ye Lun looked at Duan Lingtian and lightly smiled as he issued an invitation.
Duan Lingtian nodded and left the Alchemist Guild's main hall with Ye Lun and entered the rear hall.
"Kid, what's your name?"
Ye Lun asked Duan Lingtian.
"Ling Tian."
Duan Lingtian didn't speak his full name, as this name was precisely his name from his previous life.
"Ling Tian? Surnamed Ling, given name Tian … What a good name! "
Ye Lun praised, and his eyes were suffused with a sheen. "Kid, are you interested in joining our Alchemist Guild? As long as you're willing to join, the Alchemist Guild will foster you with all its might. In the future, you'll even have the chance to go to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Alchemist Guild and experience an even vaster world! "
As far as Ye Lun was concerned, this was an extremely great temptation, and the youth before him ought to not refuse.
However.
"Sorry, Vice Guild Master, I have no intention of joining the Alchemist Guild."
Duan Lingtian lightly shook his head.
"That's too bad."
Ye Lun was stunned for a moment before returning to his senses, and he didn't insist.
He was able to discern that although the youth before him was young, his eyes emitted wisdom, and he was absolutely not the type of person that would change his mind.
"Vice Guild Master, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
Duan Lingtian said to Ye Lun before leaving the rear hall.
A young man behind a counter in the main hall took a deep breath when he saw Duan Lingtian arrive at his counter, and he didn't dare be negligent in the slightest. "May I ask if you want to issue an assignment or accept an assignment?"
"Accept an assignment, let me take a look at the assignment dossiers here."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled as he spoke.
The young man never imagined that Duan Lingtian would be so amiable, and he was slightly overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. He hurriedly passed the assignment dossiers over to Duan Lingtian.
"Thank you."
Duan Lingtian smiled to the young man, then started flipping through the assignment dossiers.
Most of these assignment dossiers were assignments to refine grade eight medicinal pills. Although there were quite a few assignments to refine grade nine medicinal pills, the rewards were extremely low …
Duan Lingtian wasn't interested in the slightest.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian flipped to the first page of the assignment dossiers …
This was an assignment that was issued three years ago.
Assignment issuer:
Swift Cavalry Grand General, Divine Might Marquis Nie Yuan.
Assignment content:
Detoxify the Senior Marquis of the Divine Might Marquis Estate!
The Senior Marquis was poisoned by the Void Stage demon beast, Dark Nether Mink …
Demon beasts were a type of formidable beast that stood above ferocious beasts.
Just like how ferocious beasts stood above wild beasts.
If it was said that wild beasts that had developed Origin Energy could be considered to have transformed into ferocious beasts.
Then a ferocious beast that had overcome the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and broken through from the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage to the Void Stage could be considered to have transformed into a demon beast!
"Dark Nether Minks normally wouldn't take the initiative to attack humans … Looks like the Senior Marquis probably took the initiative to offend the Dark Nether Mink, and was bitten back in the end!"
Through the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, Duan Lingtian had a certain level of understanding towards the Dark Nether Mink.
"The reward for this assignment …"
Duan Lingtian's gaze descended onto the last page of the dossiers.
Assignment reward:
Able to satisfy all the conditions of the person that completes the assignment within the Divine Might Marquis Estate's ability.
"This generation's Divine Might Marquis seems to be that Swift Cavalry Grand General … I wonder what his status is within the Imperial City."
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart, and he asked the young man behind the counter. "May I ask who this Divine Might Marquis, Swift Cavalry Grand General Nie Yuan is?"
Unexpectedly, the young man was filled with deep veneration when he heard Duan Lingtian. "Divine Might Marquis Nie Yuan is a figure like the god of war of our Crimson Sky Kingdom … He and his majesty, the Emperor, each hold half of the Crimson Sky Kingdom's military authority. As for the Divine Might Marquis Estate, its status within the Crimson Sky Kingdom isn't inferior to a great clan like the Xiao Clan. "
"Besides that, I heard that the Divine Might Marquis himself is a Void Stage expert whose strength isn't inferior to the County Governors of the 18 Counties of our Crimson Sky Kingdom!"
The young man slowly spoke.
Duan Lingtian was shocked. He originally thought that the Divine Might Marquis Estate was only an ordinary General's Estate, but he never imagined that it had such a great background.
"Right, if I were to compare the Xiao Clan with the Duan Clan, how would they fare?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"In the Imperial City, the Duan Clan is a great clan that is equally famous as the Xiao Clan."
The young man lightly smiled as he spoke.
"Thank you."
Duan Lingtian nodded as he closed the assignment file and passed it back to the young man.
"What? You didn't find a suitable assignment?"
The young man asked.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled as he bid his farewells before turning around and leaving.
The young man couldn't help but sigh as he gazed at Duan Lingtian's disappearing figure from afar. "This is true poise, neither arrogant nor rash … Unlike the Xiao Clan's Xiao He. Compared to him, Xiao He's natural talent in alchemy can only be considered ordinary, and instead likes to put on airs."
