"Moreover, even if they've really broken through to the Quintessential Saint Stage, they're allowed to make a move under passive circumstances. For example, if they're guarding the forces they control, they're allowed to fight back as long as they're younger than 100 years old."
Gu Li explained.
"This … Senior Brother Gu Li, didn't you say Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses aren't allowed to make a move in the Lower Province? You didn't say they're allowed to fight back … "
Duan Lingtian was confused. He was even more confused about the rule of first-rate forces in the Upper Province against Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses in the Lower Province.
"Indeed, ordinary Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses can't even fight back … However, there are exceptions! All Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses below the age of 100 in the Lower Province are allowed to fight back. Apart from that, those who have broken through to the Quintessential Saint Stage below the age of 100 are usually recruited by the Watcher into the first-rate forces in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. "
Gu Li continued to say, "Due to this reason, Quintessential Saint Stage powerhouses below the age of 100 have special privileges in the Lower Province. If they have a good relationship with the Watcher, even if they take the initiative to attack, the Watcher can turn a blind eye to it as long as it's not too much."
Upon hearing this, Duan Lingtian could not help but smile wryly as he shook his head.
It seemed like no matter where one was, having a good relationship would make a difference.
"The Leader of the Mountainshade Black Market and the Mansion Master of Azure Cloud Mansion are both below the age of 100?"
At the same time, Duan Lingtian also realized this problem.
"Yes."
Gu Li nodded and said with a reverent expression on his face, "No matter if it's the Leader of the Mountainshade Black Market or the Mansion Master of the Azure Cloud Mansion, both of them have a chance of entering the Quintessential Saint Stage before the age of 100! Such a monster is rare in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. "
Breaking through to the Quintessential Saint Stage before the age of 100?
Even Duan Lingtian could not help but feel shocked.
Although he was confident he could break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage before the age of 100 or even 50, he was confident he could break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage before the age of 100.
However, the reason he was so confident was because he had the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. The time flow on the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was five times slower than the outside!
And this was only the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda!
Once the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was repaired, the flow of time inside would be eight times slower than outside!
Eight times slower, what kind of concept was that?
In other words, one day outside was equivalent to eight days on the fourth floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Moreover, according to Huo Lao, the cultivation environment on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was much better than the third level.
Once he repaired the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, his cultivation would definitely improve by leaps and bounds!
"The sooner I repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, the sooner I'll be able to break through to the Eminent Saint Stage and comprehend the Divine Ability … At that time, I'll be able to protect myself even if I go to the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land."
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian immediately looked at Gu Li and changed the topic, "Senior Gu Li, I have something I need your help with."
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, there's no need for formalities between us. Just tell me what you need. As long as I, Gu Li, am able to do it, I'll do it for you even if I have to go through fire and water!"
Gu Li said confidently.
Upon hearing Gu Li's words, Duan Lingtian was, naturally, touched. He quickly said, "You don't have to go through fire and water … I just need your help to look for some materials, Senior Brother Gu Li. If it's convenient for you, please refer me to Guardian Gu, Senior Brother Gu Li. With Guardian Gu's connections, I'm sure it'll be more efficient for him to help look for those materials. "
"Junior Brother Ling Tian, you're treating me like an outsider … There's nothing inconvenient about it! Now, come with me to see my old man. Even if he's in closed-door cultivation, I'll still call him out. "
Gu Li patted his chest and promised Duan Lingtian.
"There's no need for that."
Duan Lingtian quickly shook his head.
Gu Li chuckled before he stood up and called out to Duan Lingtian, "Junior Brother Ling Tian, let's go. Come with me to see my old man! He came back with me, so I don't think he's in closed-door cultivation yet. Moreover, he's always wanted to see you, but he didn't have the chance to do so. "
Under Gu Li's lead, Duan Lingtian finally met Gu Ci Yun. Gu Ci Yun came out to welcome him, causing him to feel flattered.
"You're Ling Tian? Indeed, you're a dragon among men. "
When Gu Ci Yun saw Duan Lingtian, he was all smiles. He did not put on any airs that a Guardian of Mystical Sky Mansion should have. "Come in and have a seat."
The reason Gu Ci Yun was so polite to Duan Lingtian was mainly because Duan Lingtian was his son's friend.
In fact, his son did not have many friends in the entire Mystical Sky Mansion. He only had one friend like Duan Ling Tian whom he could confide in. It was none other than Duan Ling Tian.
Another reason was, naturally, Duan Lingtian had given his son a great merit.
Discovering that the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion had cultivated a top Devil Dao Cultivation Method was extremely important to the Mystical Sky Mansion. For this reason, the Lord Mansion Master had even personally praised his son and promised many benefits to the Gu Clan.
Logically speaking, he had no reason to neglect Duan Lingtian.
"Guardian Gu, please."
Although Duan Lingtian was flattered, he did not become arrogant. He still treated Gu Ci Yun as a junior.
When Gu Ci Yun saw this, he felt very pleased. He felt his son had finally made a good friend.
Naturally, he did not put on the airs of a dignified senior just because Duan Lingtian was a junior. From the beginning until the end, he warmly welcomed Duan Lingtian like a kind senior.
"Ling Tian, you don't have to address me as Guardian Gu in private in the future. Since you're Li 'er's friend, you can just call me Uncle Gu."
Gu Ci Yun personally poured a cup of tea for Duan Lingtian and smiled as he said to Duan Lingtian.
"Uncle Gu."
Duan Lingtian was not a pedantic person so he did not refuse. However, his respect for Gu Ci Yun grew. This was a senior who deserved respect.
"Father, Junior Brother Ling Tian came with me this time not only to meet you, but also to ask for your help to look for some special materials."
When Gu Li saw Duan Lingtian and Gu Ci Yun being so polite to each other without bringing up the main topic, he felt anxious for them.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Gu Li's words, Gu Ci Yun looked at Duan Lingtian and asked, "Little Tian, what materials do you need Uncle Gu's help to look for?"
After a few exchanges, Gu Ci Yun's way of addressing Duan Lingtian had changed. It had become much more intimate.
"Uncle Gu, the materials I need are all on this."
Duan Lingtian raised his hand and took out a piece of paper. There were many drawings of the shapes and appearances of the materials. There were even descriptions at the side. It was something he had prepared when he was in closed-door cultivation.
"Uncle Gu, please use your connections to help me look for these materials … How many Saint Stones do you need? Uncle Gu, just give me the number when the time comes."
However, even Duan Lingtian did not expect Gu Ci Yun and Gu Li's expressions to turn slightly gloomy as soon as he finished speaking.
At this moment, he also realized he had said something wrong.
As expected, Gu Li took the initiative to look at Duan Lingtian and said solemnly, "Junior Brother Ling Tian, although we haven't known each other for long, we have a good relationship. In my heart, I've already treated you as a good friend who has known me for many years … Don't you think it's a little too estranged for you to mention Saint Stones in front of me?"
"Little Tian, Uncle Gu doesn't lack Saint Stones! To be honest, if you weren't a good friend of Li 'er, I might not help you even if you brought more Saint Stones. "
Gu Ci Yun also expressed his opinion.
"Uncle Gu, Senior Brother Gu Li, this is my negligence. I was wrong."
Duan Lingtian hurriedly apologized. He had already realized this earlier, but since he had already said it, it was impossible for him to take it back. He could only take advantage of this opportunity to remedy the situation.
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Gu Ci Yun and Gu Li's expressions finally eased up.
"I'll make many copies of these materials and use my connections to look for them … However, I've never seen some of these materials before. Therefore, I don't dare to guarantee that I'll be able to find all of them. "
Gu Ci Yun looked at the blueprint in his hand again before he spoke to Duan Lingtian.
Although he wanted to help Duan Lingtian find all of these materials, he did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to find all of them because he did not recognize some of them.
"I understand. Just try your best, Uncle Gu."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He did not expect Gu Ci Yun to be able to help him find all of the materials.
According to Huo Lao, some of the materials were considered rare even in the Devata Realms.
After the matter of finding the materials to repair the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda came to an end, Duan Lingtian could finally calm down and cultivate.
As for the matter of Xu Jing, the Young Mansion Master of Rising Sky Mansion, and the Devil Dao Cultivation Method that he cultivated, he did not ask about it nor was he interested in asking about it.
However, even if he was not interested in asking about it, it did not mean that others would feel the same way.
One month later, Duan Lingtian was summoned by Mansion Master Meng Qing of Mystical Sky Mansion.
Although this was the second time Duan Lingtian was meeting Meng Qing, the last time he met Meng Qing, there was a group of people around. However, he was alone today. It was completely different.
Although it felt different, he was not afraid at all.
"Mansion Master."
Duan Lingtian took the initiative to greet Meng Qing who was sitting in the main seat in the Main Hall. Just like before, he did not address him as Lord.
Meng Qing did not make a fuss about this. He smiled and gestured for Duan Lingtian to take a seat. Then, he went straight to the point and said, "Ling Tian, you're the main reason why the Mystical Sky Mansion is able to find out about Xu Jing obtaining the Devil Dao Cultivation Method that contains the Soul Congregation technique!"
"Mansion Master, this is the reason you called me here?"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
"Not entirely."
Meng Qing shook his head before he continued to say, "I heard that you heard about Xu Jing obtaining the Devil Dao Cultivation Method that contains the Soul Congregation technique from your Senior Brother, Li Feng. Your Senior Brother, Li Feng, has already gone to the Upper Province to look for your master."
