"Alright!"
The old man smiled as he received it, then directly swallowed the medicinal pill.
After a short moment, the old man's gaze abruptly lit up. "What a miraculous medicinal pill … I feel much more comfortable as soon as the medicinal strength spread out. Brother Ling Tian, what medicinal pill is this? "
"Spirit Cleansing Pill."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled, then bid farewell to the old man before following Nie Yuan and Nie Fen back to the Divine Might Marquis Estate's audience hall.
"Brother Ling Tian, I can't thank you enough for your great kindness! If you have any errands in the future, so long as it's within my Divine Might Marquis Estate's ability, it's my duty! "
Divine Might Marquis Nie Yuan looked at Duan Lingtian with a serious expression as he promised.
"Marquis, you're too courteous."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled. The reason he came to the Divine Might Marquis Estate to help the Senior Marquis cure the poison was because of this promise of the Divine Might Marquis, and he deeply knew the importance of this promise.
At a critical moment, it could even save his life!
Now, although he'd only been in the Imperial City for a month, he'd already made two formidable enemies …
The Duan Clan's second master and the Imperial Family's fifth prince.
Although he'd never thought of borrowing the strength of the Divine Might Marquis Estate to deal with the former, he had no choice but to leave himself a way out …
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't lightly use this layer of relationship with the Divine Might Marquis Estate!
Nie Yuan ordered Nie Fen to personally send Duan Lingtian out.
"Brother Ling Tian, besides my grandfather and father, I, Nie Fen, rarely admire anyone. Needless to say, you're the third person that I've wholeheartedly admired. At the mere age of 18, you've already become a Grade 9 alchemist, and you're even able to refine a medicinal pill that can cure the poison of the Dark Nether Mink. "
Nie Fen couldn't help but sigh. He, Nie Fen, was a young genius of the Imperial City. His cultivation had stepped into the Origin Core Stage at a young age, and coupled with his illustrious family background, he was practically an existence that could do whatever he wanted in the Imperial City.
But even so, he still couldn't help but admire Duan Lingtian.
He deeply knew that a genius alchemist like Duan Lingtian would absolutely not be limited to the Crimson Sky Kingdom in the future, and would sooner or later become a formidable existence that he could look up to.
"Young Marquis, you flatter me. Your martial talent is also not bad."
Duan Lingtian smiled modestly.
Before long, Nie Fen sent Duan Lingtian out of the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
The four guards broke out in cold sweat when they saw the Young Marquis personally escorting the young man out. Fortunately, they didn't offend this young man before. Otherwise, they would be in big trouble!
"Brother Ling Tian, if you encounter any trouble in the Imperial City in the future, you can come look for me at any time … I don't dare speak for other places, but within the Imperial City, there aren't many things that I, Nie Fen, am unable to settle!"
Before leaving, Nie Fen smiled as he promised Duan Lingtian.
"When that time comes, I will definitely not be polite."
Duan Lingtian nodded and smiled. He bid farewell and left.
Only when Duan Lingtian's figure vanished from his sight did Nie Fen turn around and return to the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
The four soldiers at the gate looked at each other in dismay, their eyes filled with shock.
"Did I hear wrongly? The Young Marquis actually made such an exaggerated promise to that young man earlier! "
"With the Young Marquis's promise, he can practically do whatever he wants in the Imperial City in the future."
"Does the Young Marquis's attitude mean that this young man is really able to cure the Senior Marquis's poison?"
… …
After Duan Lingtian left the Divine Might Marquis Estate, he returned to his own house and removed the makeup on his face, recovering his handsome appearance with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.
"I didn't expect that in just a single morning, my gains would be so great."
It was already noon. As he smelled the fragrance of the dishes drifting out from the kitchen, the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth curled into a satisfied smile …
Five million taels of silver was still acceptable.
A promise from the Divine Might Marquis was absolutely priceless.
After leaving the front courtyard, Duan Lingtian passed by the main building and walked into the rear courtyard.
Compared to the front courtyard, the rear courtyard was even more spacious. Duan Lingtian had just walked over when he noticed two figures that were like butterflies dancing gracefully, giving others a type of magnificent visual enjoyment …
Duan Lingtian walked into the pavilion and greeted the woman sitting inside. "Mother."
"Tian 'er, you've returned?"
A trace of doting flashed past Li Rou's eyes as she lightly smiled.
Today's days were rather relaxed, not much different from when her husband was still alive.
And all of this was fought for by her son. Unknowingly, the son that she had worried so much about had already grown to such an extent …
Now, she had nothing else to ask for.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. Together with his mother, Li Rou, he gazed at the two beautiful women who were cultivating martial skills in the distance …
"Tian 'er, you must not let them down. Otherwise, mother won't forgive you!"
Li Fei suddenly spoke, her tone containing a trace of warning.
"Don't worry, mother."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling that his mother was thinking too much.
Now, the two women had practically become a part of his life, and it was difficult to part with them. How could he let them down?
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, nearly two months had passed.
"Still lacking a bit."
Duan Lingtian, who sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and sighed.
Ever since he returned from the Divine Might Marquis Estate, he hadn't left the house. Besides accompanying his mother and his two future daughters-in-law, he practically spent all his time on cultivating.
Although his advancement was swift, up until now, he was still a small step away from the fifth level of the Core Formation Stage.
"Never mind, I'll let nature take its course … It's time to report to Paladin Academy."
Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he walked off the bed.
Duan Lingtian didn't bring the two women with him to Paladin Academy, and he only brought Xiong Quan and the little black snake as he walked out of the courtyard house.
The courtyard house he bought was near Paladin Academy, and he quickly arrived at the entrance of Paladin Academy.
Presently, the entrance of Paladin Academy was bustling with noise and excitement. Some youths and the people beside them even seemed to be travel-worn, obviously having just arrived at the Imperial City.
If they were a few days late and missed the time to report, even if they had the qualifications to enter, it would be difficult for them to step foot into Paladin Academy.
"I wonder if Xiao Yu has reported yet."
Duan Lingtian thought of Xiao Yu and his brows raised as he followed the flow of people to arrive before the entrance of Paladin Academy and started to register.
"Certificate of qualification."
The person in charge of registering was a middle-aged man with a flat tone as he glanced at Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian took out his Certificate of Enrollment and passed it to the middle-aged man.
"From the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp?"
The middle-aged man glanced at the Certificate of Enrollment and was slightly surprised.
"Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp?"
The pupils of the youths that stood behind Duan Lingtian constricted when they heard the middle-aged man's voice.
"I heard that one year ago, only seven people from the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp passed the training and obtained the qualifications to enter Paladin Academy."
"I've long since heard that the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp's test is famous for being abnormal in the 18 counties. Looks like this youth isn't an ordinary person since he was able to stand out from it."
"Although I'm from Swallow Mountain County, I didn't dare enter the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp. Otherwise, I might not have survived."
...
The discussion of the youths entered his ears, causing the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth to twitch.
The Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp is so famous in the outer counties?
"Duan Lingtian? This name sounds like someone from the direct line of descent of the Duan Clan … "
The middle-aged man's heart moved when he matched the name on the Certificate of Enrollment with the information in his hand, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
As far as he was concerned, if this youth was really a disciple of the Duan Clan, then since he had the ability to pass the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp's training, the Duan Clan would have long since given him a recommendation spot. Why would they make him risk his life?
The devilish training of the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp was no different from risking his life.
Slap!
The middle-aged man stamped a seal on the Certificate of Enrollment and said to Duan Lingtian, "If you need to stay overnight in the academy, then go in and find the teacher in charge of this area to make arrangements …. If you don't need it, then take this Enrollment Handbook back and read it. School starts five days later, remember to bring your Certificate of Enrollment."
Duan Lingtian nodded, put away the Certificate of Enrollment, and left with Xiong Quan.
Stay overnight?
He didn't need it.
Duan Lingtian's house was south of Paladin Academy.
Presently, in a private house north of Paladin Academy, two young men were sitting together, and one of them had a face full of unwillingness.
"Cousin, it's already been three months, but the people Uncle sent out still haven't found that little bastard!"
Duan Rong had a face full of anger, and when he thought of what happened three months ago, a ball of fire arose within his heart.
That time, the violet-clothed youth shattered his wrist bone with a finger, and although he had recovered now, there were still side effects left behind. When he executed martial skills now, the might of his martial skills had at least decreased by 20% ….
"It can't be helped, the clues you provided were too few. A violet-clothed youth, a middle-aged man wearing a mask …. In the Imperial City that's bustling with people, similar people can be found all over the streets. "
The other young man shook his head.
"Cousin, don't you know the Fifth Prince? That shop that sells houses is the property of the Imperial Family, and our Duan Clan is unable to interfere. But if the Fifth Prince wants to investigate, it shouldn't be difficult, right? "
Duan Rong seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
The young man's brows frowned, then relaxed as he said perfunctorily, "We'll talk about it the next time I see the Fifth Prince."
He'd only met the Fifth Prince a few times and couldn't be considered to be familiar with him.
Although he was the only son of the Duan Clan's Second Master, he was nothing before the Fifth Prince.
There were over 10 princes in the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Imperial Family. Besides having a temporary residence within the Imperial Palace, they each had a spacious estate within the inner city of the Imperial City.
Normally, these princes lived within the estates within the inner city.
Fifth Prince's Estate.
"Cousin, it's already been three months, and there's still no news at all?"
Tong Li, who wore red clothes, pouted and was extremely unhappy.
"Li, the people I sent out have investigated for three months, but they've still come up empty handed …. Firstly, you don't know their origins, and secondly, you don't know their names, so it's indeed difficult to investigate. It's even to the extent that they might only be people that came to the Imperial City to play, or perhaps they've already left the Imperial City long ago. "
The Fifth Prince shook his head, and his face carried a smile from the beginning until the end, causing one to feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
"Then what should we do? Could it be that we're just going to let it go? "
Tong Li had a face full of unwillingness.
"Of course we can't just let it go. But isn't there no way to find them now? How about this, so long as there's a lead on them in the future, Cousin will surely take revenge for you, alright? "
