Even in the entire Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, a grade five alchemist was an existence that was rare like phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Besides the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial Family, the formidable powers that were capable of asking a grade five alchemist to help refine a grade five medicinal pill were only those top sects that stood at the peak of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
If it was said that in the Crimson Sky Kingdom, beneath the Imperial Family, the various great clans were in charge …
Then, in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, beneath the Imperial Family, the various great sects were in charge!
"I heard that 30 years ago, a peerless genius had once appeared in the Yuanchen Kingdom's Yuan Clan, and he stepped into the Origin Core Stage at the mere age of 19 … Later on, he went to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Snow Moon Sect and became a disciple of the Snow Moon Sect's Grand Elder. Because of this, the Yuan Clan obtained a Void Advancement Pill and became a Void Prying Stage expert!"
A Duan Clan elder couldn't help but sigh as he was reminded by Grand Elder Duan Zhen.
"I've heard of this as well."
Another Duan Clan elder nodded as well, and his gaze emitted slight burning desire.
Void Prying Stage expert …
To the Duan Clan, this was extremely important!
In the Crimson Sky Kingdom, there were at least close to 100 existences at the Half-step Void Stage when all the powers were added together.
However, in the entire Crimson Sky Kingdom, there were only three true Void Stage experts!
Wanting to step into the Void Prying Stage was too difficult!
Even if it was an existence at the Half-step Void Stage, without a certain amount of natural talent, it would be impossible for them to break through to the Void Prying Stage in their entire lifetime until the end of their lifespan.
In the history of the Duan Clan, there were at least over 100 experts that stepped into the Half-step Void Stage. However, not even a single Void Prying Stage expert had appeared!
That year, practically everyone in the Duan Clan thought that Duan Rufeng would surely be able to break the Duan Clan's history and become a Void Prying Stage expert.
At that time, Duan Rufeng could be considered to be the most genius disciple in the history of the Duan Clan.
But unfortunately, Duan Rufeng went missing in the end, and there was no news of him until now. As far as the Duan Clan members were concerned, he was surely doomed.
Whereas now, Duan Rufeng's son, Duan Lingtian, had appeared out of nowhere ….
Entering the Primal Core Stage at the mere age of eighteen!
Such natural talent aroused the enthusiasm of the Duan Clan's higher-ups for a moment.
That year, they looked forward to Duan Rufeng becoming a Void Prying Stage expert and leading the Duan Clan to a higher level …
Now, with the lesson of Duan Rufeng, they didn't look forward to Duan Lingtian becoming a Void Prying Stage expert, as they weren't willing to wait any longer.
They only hoped to make Duan Lingtian enter a top sect in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, then the Duan Clan would have the opportunity to obtain a Void Advancement Pill. At that time, if a Half-step Void Stage expert in the clan consumes it, the expert would be able to directly break through to the Void Prying Stage!
In this way, not only would they not repeat the same mistake as Duan Rufeng, they could also allow a Void Prying Stage powerhouse to appear in the Duan Clan within a short period of time!
"Patriarch, I agree with what the Grand Elder said. No matter what price we have to pay, we must make Duan Lingtian acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan. We must make him join a top sect in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom and strive for a Void Advancement Pill for our Duan Clan!"
"I also agree with Great Elder!"
"I agree too!"
...
When they thought of how a Void Prying Stage expert might appear in the Duan Clan because of this, the Duan Clan elders present were extremely excited.
Duan Ru Hong slightly frowned.
He felt slightly disgusted by this decision …
Since when did the Duan Clan reach the point of needing to make use of a child?
"Grand Elder!"
Patriarch Duan Ru Huo looked at Duan Zhen, and the corners of his mouth curled into a bitter smile. "It's not that our Duan Clan hasn't thought of making Duan Lingtian return to acknowledge his ancestors, but he's always been unwilling … As far as I'm concerned, that child has inherited Third Brother's temper and will absolutely not easily change his mind."
"I've said it before, we can pay any price for this … So long as it's something the Duan Clan can do!"
Duan Zhen's eyes were like a dazzling array of stars as he slowly spoke.
Duan Ru Huo secretly gasped when he heard this, as he could feel the weight of the Grand Elder's words …
And it was at this moment that the servant girl that had just finished pouring tea for the Duan Clan higher-ups in the audience hall left the audience hall and walked into a spacious courtyard.
Within the courtyard, the fat woman's small eyes narrowed after she finished listening to the servant girl, and a cold light flashed within. "My husband just died, and the Duan Clan wants the murderer of my son to return to acknowledge his ancestors? And they don't hesitate to pay any price to make him return? "
The fat woman's entire body trembled as she was enraged to the limit. "I can't stay in this Duan Clan any longer! That useless trash, Duan Ru Lei, is dead as well, and I'm unable to take revenge for my son …. Mother's home, I want to return to my mother's home! "
"I'll take revenge for my son by myself!"
The fat woman packed herself up that night, and at dawn the next day, she hastily left the Imperial City.
Paladin Academy.
Early in the morning, Duan Lingtian had only just entered the entrance when he noticed that the students he encountered on the way were more or less all staring at him with peculiar gazes.
Duan Lingtian laughed bitterly as he shook his head.
Looks like after the disturbance yesterday morning, he won't be able to have peace for a period of time.
Fortunately, after a period of time, he would be temporarily leaving Paladin Academy and heading to the northwest border battlefield.
When he passed by the Martial Arts Practice Grounds, Duan Lingtian's brows raised as he noticed that not far away, there were three female students confronting each other ….
Accurately speaking, it was two female students who had joined forces to bully another female student.
Duan Lingtian clearly saw the beautiful face of the lone and helpless female student. Although she couldn't be considered to be a beauty, her appearance could still be considered delicate.
Originally, he didn't intend to interfere in this matter.
"I heard that you've made Duan Lingtian your idol, right?"
One of the two female students who had their backs facing Duan Lingtian waved the black whip in her hand as she used a condescending tone to ask the delicate female student.
"Tong Li?"
Duan Lingtian recognized the owner of the voice, and his eyes went cold. As the saying goes, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. Today, he could be considered to have completely experienced the 'meaning' of these words.
Duan Lingtian stopped his footsteps, his eyes slightly narrowed as he paid attention to the development of the matter.
"What's wrong with me making Duan Lingtian my idol? I just admire him and like him, what's wrong with that? Am I obstructing all of you? "
The delicate female student's face flushed red as she spoke.
"I don't care if you admire others, like others, or make others your idol …. But Duan Lingtian is my absolutely irreconcilable enemy. Whoever dares to make him their idol is going against me, Tong Li!"
Tong Li's voice was incomparably cold and indifferent, as if she was suppressing the extreme rage in her heart.
"Little bitch, do you know Miss Li's identity? Miss Li is the cousin of the Fifth Prince, she's not someone a lowly commoner like you can offend! Quickly kneel down, kowtow, and apologize, then shout 'Duan Lingtian is a bastard' a hundred times. Perhaps Miss Li will be merciful and let you off. "
The female student beside Tong Li had her hands on her hips as she stretched out her hand to point at the delicate female student's nose as she intimidated her.
"You, you all …."
The delicate female student was angered to the point her breathing became hurried.
"We what? I'll give you three breaths of time. If you still don't kneel down and shout 'Duan Lingtian is a bastard', I'll immediately slap your face into pieces! "
Tong Li waved the black whip in her hand, as if it would swing out at any moment.
The delicate female student's face turned pale as her body trembled slightly, but she still clenched her teeth, unwilling to submit.
Duan Lingtian's face sank as he walked over. He finally couldn't continue watching. Although he didn't know this female student, she was bullied by Tong Li and her companion because of him after all.
No matter what, since this matter was seen by her, she couldn't avoid getting involved!
As Duan Lingtian approached, the delicate female student's eyes lit up, revealing a face of worship.
"Three breaths have passed, looks like you're still stubborn!"
Tong Li didn't notice the delicate female student's expression. Her gaze turned cold as the black whip in her hand danced, as if it had transformed into a black venomous snake, biting towards the delicate female student.
Because the delicate female student saw Duan Lingtian, she was slightly distracted and had no time to react to Tong Li's whip ….
"Ah!"
In an instant, her expression changed as she was scared stiff as a wooden chicken, subconsciously closing her eyes.
Very quickly, she felt a gust of wind blowing against her face. She originally thought that pain would follow but who knew that following a 'pa' sound, there was no more following.
She opened her eyes and realised that there was an additional youth in purple in front of her. The youth in purple had his back facing her as he used his hand to catch the long whip that was thrown towards him.
In an instant, her cheeks flushed red as she felt her heart beating faster!
"You ….."
When Tong Li saw that someone dared to stop her from teaching others a lesson, her expression changed and was prepared to berate. But before she could open her mouth, she was completely stunned.
Because the person who stopped her was none other than that Duan Lingtian whom she hated to the bone!
"What about me?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze turned cold as he used his strength to snatch the black whip from Tong Li's hand. "Miss Tong, I realise that as long as you don't flaunt your prowess for a day, you'll feel uncomfortable for a day ….. I wonder how this student has offended you?"
Tong Li's face was ashen as she shouted coldly, "What has it got to do with you!"
"What has it got to do with me?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as his gaze quickly moved from Tong Li to that female student beside Tong Li. "Earlier, you told this student to kneel on the ground and shout a hundred sentences? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly earlier. "
This female student's expression changed greatly. She dared to do that earlier because Tong Li was standing by her side to support her.
But now, how could she dare to continue saying …..
What kind of joke was this!
This Duan Lingtian had previously beaten Tong Li into a 'pig head' right in front of her.
She didn't doubt in the slightest that if she dared to repeat what she said earlier, Duan Lingtian would definitely beat her into a 'pig head' as well.
"I …. I didn't say anything."
The female student's face was deathly pale as her body trembled slightly as she lowered her head, not daring to meet Duan Lingtian's gaze.
"Weren't you quite awe-inspiring earlier?"
Duan Lingtian sneered as his eyes focused and shouted coldly, "Kneel down!"
Duan Lingtian no longer treated this female student who was like a fox exploiting the tiger's might as a woman.
Don't you always ask people to kneel down?
Now, I'll make you kneel down!
