"You … You're twisting words and forcing logic!"
Nie Fen was furious when he heard Duan Lingtian's words that were difficult to refute.
"Alright, Fen, what this little brother said isn't without reason."
Divine Might Marquis Nie Yuan looked at Duan Lingtian and his eyes squinted. "Little brother, do you really have a way to cure the Dark Nether Mink's poison?"
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled. "Marquis, the current me still doesn't have the ability to help the Senior Marquis completely cure the Dark Nether Mink's poison …"
"Hmph! Father, like I said, even the Alchemist Guild's Guild Master was helpless against Grandfather's poison. How could a child like him possibly have a way? "
Nie Fen's face sank when he heard Duan Lingtian.
"Fen, shut up."
Nie Yuan glared at Nie Fen, then looked at Duan Lingtian and asked. "Little brother, what do you mean by this?"
"What I mean is … I can temporarily help the Senior Marquis cure a portion of the Dark Nether Mink's poison, and the other portion will have to wait until I become a Grade Eight Alchemist."
Duan Lingtian shrugged as he slowly spoke.
Grade Eight Alchemist?
Nie Yuan and Nie Fen were stunned as they sized up the violet-clothed youth before them.
This little fellow looked to be around 18 years old …
He actually said he wanted to become a Grade Eight Alchemist?
Even if he could become a Grade Eight Alchemist, when would that be!? Who could afford to wait!?
"Kid, our Divine Might Marquis Estate doesn't have the time to play house with you. Grade Eight Alchemist … To think you dared say that! Even if you're a Grade Nine Alchemist, you still don't know how many years you'll need before you can … "
Nie Fen's face revealed displeasure, but he hadn't finished speaking when he was completely stunned and dumbstruck.
Because, with a raise of his hand, Duan Lingtian's Grade Nine Pill Fire had ignited …
Nie Yuan's eyes shone.
An 18-year-old Grade Nine Alchemist?
This youth was simply even more monstrous than the Xiao Clan's genius alchemist, Xiao He!
If Nie Yuan knew that Duan Lingtian had teased Xiao He in the Alchemist Guild not long ago and even swindled 5,000,000 silver from Xiao He, what expression would he have?
"Within two years, I will definitely become a grade eight alchemist! Before that, I can neutralize the toxic poison that has invaded the Senior Marquis's internal organs, allowing the Senior Marquis to no longer suffer the pain of the toxic poison acting up … Once I become a Grade Eight Alchemist, I can completely neutralize the toxic poison in the Senior Marquis's body and recover his Void Prying Stage strength! "
Duan Lingtian's words were clear and contained great confidence.
"You … How did you know that my father is a Void Prying Stage martial artist?"
Nie Yuan took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
"If the Senior Marquis isn't a Void Prying Stage martial artist, it would be impossible for him to live until now … If I'm not wrong, the Senior Marquis is already an arrow at the end of its flight. If there's still no way to remove the poison in his internal organs, I'm afraid he won't even be able to hold on for a year."
Duan Lingtian said slowly.
Nie Fen was slightly moved. Never had he imagined that this youth that looked to be seven or eight years younger than him actually possessed such ability.
The fact that his grandfather, the Senior Marquis of the Divine Might Marquis Estate, was something that only a few people in the Divine Might Marquis Estate knew about …
This young man could actually make such accurate deductions!
"Little Brother, I still don't know your name?"
Nie Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart. Now, he'd practically completely believed Duan Lingtian's words.
An 18-year-old Grade Nine Alchemist might really be able to create a miracle.
Or perhaps, an 18-year-old Grade Nine Alchemist was already a miracle!
"Ling Tian!"
Duan Lingtian said slowly, and similarly, he didn't reveal his true name before the Divine Might Marquis.
"Ling Tian?"
Unexpectedly, when Nie Yuan heard Duan Lingtian's name, he was instead stunned, seeming to have thought of something. After sighing, he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Brother Ling Tian, how about I take you to see my father now?"
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Nie Fen's eyes flashed as he stared at Duan Lingtian for a moment, then he had a strange expression as he lightly shook his head.
Before long, Duan Lingtian saw the Senior Marquis in the rear courtyard of the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
The old man wore a grey robe, and because of being poisoned for many years, he seemed to be sickly, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.
Even so, the old man still emitted a domineering dignity between his brows, as if he was imperceptibly narrating his glorious past …
"Father."
Nie Yuan respectfully bowed when he saw the old man.
"Grandfather."
Nie Fen was respectful and reverent as well.
"Senior Marquis."
Duan Lingtian caught up and lightly smiled to the old man.
"This is?"
The old man's muddy eyes abruptly lit up when he saw Duan Lingtian, and his gaze seemed to be able to see through everything …
"Father, this is Brother Ling Tian. He's here to cure your poison."
Nie Yuan respectfully said. He'd always revered his father in his heart. Even though his father wasn't as elegant as before, he was still a towering mountain in his heart.
"Oh?"
The old man's eyes emitted a trace of surprise when he heard this.
He understood his son and knew that his son wasn't the type of person who spoke without thinking. Since the youth was able to come here, it meant that his son believed in the youth.
Duan Lingtian casually pretended to extend his hand into his pocket and withdrew a brush and paper from his spatial ring, then wrote down some medicinal herbs and passed it to Nie Yuan. "Marquis, prepare these medicinal herbs. After the medicinal herbs are prepared, I'll refine the antidote medicinal pill for the Senior Marquis."
Refine medicinal pills?
The old man's eyes squinted and he said with slight surprise, "Little fellow, you're an alchemist?"
"Grandfather, don't look at Brother Ling Tian's young, he's a grade nine alchemist."
Nie Fen lightly smiled.
"Grade nine alchemist? Not bad, not bad. "
The old man looked at Duan Lingtian and nodded repeatedly, and his tone contained heartfelt praise mixed within.
An 18 year old grade nine alchemist had also alarmed his heart that was as calm as an ancient well …
Nie Fen followed Nie Yuan out of the rear courtyard to prepare the medicinal herbs.
"Alas, Fen, if Brother Ling Tian is the child of your Uncle Ru Feng, how good would that be …"
On the way, Nie Yuan suddenly sighed.
"Father, they only have the same name. Moreover, Brother Ling Tian's surname is Duan, yet Uncle Ru Feng's child is surnamed Duan, so he should be called Duan Lingtian. "
Nie Fen shook his head and couldn't help but recall the peerless genius martial artist of the Duan Clan from all those years ago.
But unfortunately, the heavens are jealous of heroic geniuses!
"I don't know why, but when I see him, I always have a feeling of closeness … That year, if it wasn't for me going to battle outside, how could I have allowed Sister-in-law and Little Tian to leave the Duan Clan! But unfortunately, I've never asked Ru Feng about Sister-in-law's background, and even though the Duan Clan's Fourth Brother knew, he wasn't willing to say! I was utterly unable to trace the whereabouts of her and the child. "
"So many years have passed, I wonder how the orphan and widow are doing."
Nie Yuan had an expression of guilt and self-blame.
"Father, don't worry. Aunt Rou and Little Tian are blessed by the heavens, and they'll be fine."
Nie Fen consoled.
"Now, that child Little Tian ought to have grown up, and he's probably around the same age as Brother Ling Tian … Fen, do you think it's possible that they're the same person?"
"Father, don't think too much. Why don't you think about it? Uncle Ru Feng is handsome and unrestrained, and even Aunt Rou has a drop dead gorgeous appearance … How could their child possibly grow up to have such an ordinary appearance? It's just a coincidence that they have the same name. Moreover, Brother Ling Tian's surname isn't 'Duan.' "
"Right, Ru Feng and Sister-in-law's son's appearance is surely a dragon or phoenix amongst men."
…
In the rear courtyard, Duan Lingtian and the old man sat facing each other.
"Senior Marquis, according to my knowledge, that Dark Nether Mink ought to not take the initiative to attack humans. Why did you have a conflict with it?"
Duan Lingtian asked the old man, puzzled.
"Brother Ling Tian, you even know the habits of the Dark Nether Mink?"
The old man was slightly surprised, and he increasingly felt that the youth before him wasn't simple. "Yes, the Dark Nether Mink wouldn't take the initiative to attack me, but at that time, I urgently needed a spirit fruit that the Dark Nether Mink was guarding, so I could only take the risk and force it to leave … Later on, although it left, it still bit me. Fortunately, I smoothly obtained that spirit fruit. "
"That spirit fruit is very important to you?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Yes, very important … If I didn't have it, my wife would be in great trouble."
The old man slowly nodded.
The old man didn't speak in detail, and Duan Lingtian didn't ask any further. Everyone had their own secrets, although he was very curious about what spirit fruit the Dark Nether Mink was guarding, to actually make the old man risk his life for it.
"Looks like Senior Marquis doesn't regret this matter in the slightest."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled.
"In life, there are things to do and things not to do … As far as I'm concerned, so long as my family is safe, even if I die, it's nothing."
The old man lightly shook his head, extremely carefree.
At this moment, even Duan Lingtian couldn't help but feel deep veneration …
This old man was worthy of respect!
"Don't worry, Senior Marquis. So long as the medicinal pill is refined, it will be able to expel the toxic poison in your internal organs. At that time, although you'll still be unable to utilize Origin Energy, you'll be able to be like an ordinary person and won't have to suffer the pain of the toxic poison acting up. Once I step into the Origin Core Stage and become a Grade Eight Alchemist, I'll be able to eradicate all the toxic poison in your body. "
Duan Lingtian slowly said.
"Then I'll thank Brother Ling Tian first."
The old man nodded with a smile, and a trace of respect flashed within the depths of his eyes.
Perhaps, in the Dao of Martial Arts, he once stood at the peak of the Crimson Sky Kingdom and looked down upon everyone.
But in the Dao of Alchemy, he couldn't help but admire the youth before him.
A Grade Nine Alchemist at the mere age of 18, such natural talent was simply shocking!
In next to no time, Nie Yuan and his son finished preparing the medicinal materials Duan Lingtian needed.
Duan Lingtian didn't have any misgivings and directly withdrew his cauldron and started to refine the pill in front of the three generations of the Nie Clan …
Although the three of them were laymen, Duan Lingtian's familiar movements were simply as if assisted by the gods, and it broadened their horizons and caused them to feel admiration in their hearts.
Two hours later, Duan Lingtian concentrated his mind and calmed his breathing, then his hand descended and slapped the cauldron!
Three medicinal pills with flowing lights revolving around them instantly flew out and landed in his hand.
What he refined this time was the Spirit Cleansing Pill as well.
The Spirit Cleansing Pill was the lifetime effort of Samsara Emperor Wu, and it could cure a myriad of poisons …
Although the poison in the old man's body was formidable, it was inferior to the Vitality Restriction Gu that Xiong Quan was afflicted with, and only a Grade Eight Spirit Cleansing Pill was required to completely eradicate it.
Xiong Quan's poison, on the other hand, required a Grade Seven Spirit Cleansing Pill to completely eradicate it.
"Senior Marquis, consume these three medicinal pills over three months."
