All along the way, Duan Lingtian could see hope and anticipation on the faces of the residents of Relentless Thriving City.
This was their confidence towards the Crimson Wyrm Army!
Their confidence towards the Divine Might Marquis!
"Uncle Nie is worthy of being the Crimson Sky Kingdom's God of War … In this border where battles are frequent, his prestige probably surpasses the Crimson Sky Kingdom's Emperor!"
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
Before long, Duan Lingtian and the other Paladin Academy students followed the 10,000 officers of the Crimson Wyrm Army and entered the vast campsite at the northern side of Relentless Thriving City.
Including Duan Lingtian's group, everyone that came was placed in various tents within the campsite.
Duan Lingtian's group of three were placed in the same small tent.
Although it was a small tent, it was still ten times, no, a hundred times better than the tents they casually set up on the road.
"I'm about to be able to witness that cruel war with my own two eyes. Just thinking about it makes me slightly excited …."
Xiao Xun's face was slightly red as he spoke excitedly.
Although Xiao Yu didn't say anything, the flowing light in his eyes at this moment had already explained everything.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled. With a thought in his heart, a cauldron suddenly appeared in his hand.
Two days ago, he smoothly broke through to the eighth level of the Core Formation Stage.
What he needed to do now was to refine the Dragon Blood Pill and directly consume it to complete the tempering of his fleshly body for the eighth level of the Core Formation Stage.
Only in this way would he be able to continue charging towards the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage!
The Dragon Blood Pill was different from ordinary medicinal pills. After the pill was formed, it had to be consumed within 10 hours. Otherwise, the medicinal strength would cease to exist.
So, Duan Lingtian didn't have a backup.
Duan Lingtian casually taking out a cauldron wasn't a big deal.
However, Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun were stunned when they saw Duan Lingtian take out a cauldron.
"This … Duan Lingtian, don't tell me you've become an alchemist …."
Xiao Xun couldn't help but glare. Even his breathing became somewhat hurried. This Duan Lingtian couldn't be thinking of playing with his heartbeat again, right?
Xiao Yu also looked at Duan Lingtian suspiciously.
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
He raised his hand and reversed it.
Chi!
At this moment, a strand of milky white flame burned in the center of Duan Ling Tian's palm.
"A ninth-grade alchemy fire!"
Xiao Xun's pupils constricted, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
His older brother, Xiao He, was a Grade Nine Alchemist, so he wasn't unfamiliar with Grade Nine Pill Fire.
Xiao Yu's mouth twitched.
When did this Duan Lingtian become an alchemist?
Generally speaking, a genius in the Martial Dao like Duan Lingtian would normally place all his efforts on the advancement of his cultivation. It was impossible for him to delve into the Dao of Alchemy, Dao of Weapon Refinement, or the Dao of Inscriptions …
Because once one delved into the latter, it would waste a great deal of effort, and in the end, fall to mediocrity in all aspects.
In the past, in his eyes, the reason why Duan Lingtian possessed such a heaven defying cultivation was surely because he concentrated on cultivation and didn't delve into the Dao of Alchemy, Dao of Weapons Refinement, or the Dao of Inscriptions.
But now, the Grade Nine Pill Fire in Duan Lingtian's hand had given him too great of a shock!
This Duan Lingtian possessed such a heaven defying cultivation, yet he actually spent time delving into the study of alchemy and even became a Grade Nine Alchemist?
For a moment, Xiao Yu felt his scalp go numb.
Abnormal!
Too abnormal!
"If Duan Lingtian didn't delve into the study of alchemy, then wouldn't it mean that his current strength might be even stronger? Even to the extent that it's very likely that he would be able to break through to the Origin Core Stage at the age of 17? "
Xiao Yu noticed that the more he thought about it in his heart, the more shocked he was.
Xiao Xun was dumbstruck as well.
He had the same thoughts as Xiao Yu.
After all, people that delved into the Dao of Alchemy would have a much slower increase in their cultivation in the Martial Dao compared to ordinary people.
Because they placed half of their attention on alchemy and were unable to completely concentrate on their cultivation in the Martial Dao!
Just like his brother, Xiao He, although their natural talent in the Martial Dao was similar, even though Xiao He was older than him by a year, Xiao He's cultivation was inferior to him.
All of this was because his brother concentrated on the Dao of Alchemy and neglected his cultivation, causing his cultivation to increase slowly.
"What are you two doing? Is there a need to be like this? "
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled, then directly withdrew a pile of medicinal materials required for the Dragon Blood Pill and placed them one by one into the cauldron.
"Is there a need to be like this?"
The corners of Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun's mouths twitched, and they both felt that Duan Lingtian wasn't doing it on purpose.
"Abnormal!"
The two of them spoke at the same time with extreme tacit understanding.
Duan Lingtian was speechless.
Of course, it was also because Duan Lingtian didn't know what Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun were thinking, otherwise, he would surely shake his head and laugh …
Since the moment he fused with the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, he'd inherited everything of Samsara Emperor Wu.
When Samsara Emperor Wu was at his prime, he was a Royal Grade Alchemist and Royal Grade Weapons Craftsman!
Even in the Dao of inscriptions, during the era where the art of inscriptions was prevalent, he'd studied it to the peak and wasn't inferior to anyone.
Inheriting everything of Samsara Emperor Wu meant that Duan Lingtian also possessed the ability of Samsara Emperor Wu.
Of course, if he wanted to exert even more of Samsara Emperor Wu's ability, he needed to increase his cultivation and Spiritual Force to a certain level …
Just like Pill Fire and Weapon Fire.
Grade eight flames required stepping into the first level of the Origin Core Stage to condense.
Grade seven flames required stepping into the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage to condense.
Grade six flames required stepping into the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage to condense.
Grade five flames required stepping into the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Stage to condense.
…
Later on, and so on.
Duan Lingtian who'd inherited Samsara Emperor Wu's lifetime of experience in alchemy and weapons crafting would be able to condense Pill Fire and Weapon Fire of that grade so long as his cultivation reached a certain level.
There was utterly no need for him to research and improve himself!
Spiritual Force was the same as well.
So long as his Spiritual Force was strong enough, he would be able to inscribe even higher level inscriptions.
Just like now, Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force was comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage martial artist's Spiritual Force, and he was able to inscribe inscriptions like the Bone Corrosion Inscription that were sufficient to annihilate Nascent Soul Stage martial artists.
If he was able to obtain those rare main materials, he would even be able to inscribe inscriptions that could annihilate Half-step Void Stage experts!
So.
So long as Duan Lingtian's cultivation and Spiritual Force were sufficient, then he utterly didn't need to spend time studying the Dao of alchemy, weapons crafting, and inscriptions.
In his mind, there were memories of studying the Dao of alchemy, weapons crafting, and inscriptions to the peak!
Using an analogy.
If it was said that the Dao of alchemy, weapons crafting, and inscriptions were 'software.'
Duan Lingtian's cultivation and Spiritual Force were the 'hardware.'
The 'software' possessed a top-notch level.
Whereas the 'hardware' was still in the stage of being explored and improved. So long as the 'hardware' continued to improve, then he would be able to display even more of the 'software's' functions.
Huala!
Duan Lingtian's hands descended, and the pill fire condensed from Origin Energy was pressed into the cauldron by him as he started to refine the medicine.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in their hearts as they watched without blinking.
An hour later, Duan Lingtian placed the little black snake's golden blood into the cauldron and completed the final step.
Whoosh!
A medicinal pill that flowed with a golden light shot out and landed in Duan Lingtian's hand.
It was precisely the Dragon Blood Pill!
Duan Lingtian directly consumed it.
In the blink of an eye, his body underwent a tremendous change.
The tempering of the body at the eighth level of the Core Formation Stage was instantly completed!
The current him could directly charge towards the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage ….
Once he stepped into the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage and consumed another Dragon Blood Pill, he would be able to complete the final tempering of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique's Raging Python Form.
At that time, he would be able to continue charging towards the Origin Core Stage and become a true Origin Core Stage martial artist!
And not the current False Origin Core Stage.
Only when they saw Duan Lingtian put away the cauldron did Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun return to their senses. Xiao Xun asked in surprise, "Duan Lingtian, what medicinal pill did you refine earlier? That medicinal pill seemed to flicker with a golden light, and it seemed to be extraordinary. "
"That isn't an ordinary medicinal pill, it's a medicinal pill that matches the cultivation method I cultivate. If an ordinary martial artist were to consume it, their body would directly explode and they would die!"
Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at Xiao Xun. "How about it? Xiao Xun, are you interested in one? "
"Forget it, I don't want to die yet!"
Xiao Xun naturally believed Duan Lingtian when he heard this, and he hurriedly waved his hand in refusal.
"Duan Lingtian, when did you become a Grade Nine Alchemist?"
At this moment, Xiao Yu looked at Duan Lingtian with a burning gaze.
Xiao Xun looked at Duan Lingtian as well.
"It's been a while."
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled, but didn't say exactly when.
Could it be that he was already a Grade Nine Alchemist two years ago?
"Duan Lingtian, you're absolutely the most abnormal freak I've ever seen!"
Xiao Xun glared. "When my brother became a Grade Nine Alchemist at the age of 20, I already thought he was abnormal enough …. I never imagined that you would become a Grade Nine Alchemist at the age of 18! Not only that, your cultivation has even stepped into the Origin Core Stage! You're simply a super abnormal freak! "
Super abnormal?
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth twitched.
Xiao Yu nodded as well, obviously agreeing with Xiao Xun's words.
Suddenly, Xiao Xun seemed to have thought of something, and his gaze abruptly shone. "A few months ago, the 18-year-old genius alchemist that appeared briefly in the Alchemist Guild's Headquarters and defeated my brother's spirit …."
Duan Lingtian's heart jerked when he saw Xiao Xun looking over.
Could it be that Xiao Xun guessed it?
"…. I wonder who is more abnormal when compared to you in the Dao of alchemy."
Xiao Xun finished speaking in one breath.
Duan Lingtian came to a sudden understanding.
Looks like Xiao Xun didn't connect the genius alchemist from that time with him.
"That genius alchemist wouldn't be Duan Lingtian, right?"
Xiao Yu looked at Duan Lingtian, and his words caused Duan Lingtian's heart to rise to his throat.
Xiao Yu was born with a keen intuition, and his intuition told him that the 18-year-old genius alchemist Xiao Xun mentioned was very likely to be the same person as Duan Lingtian.
"He's definitely not."
Xiao Xun shook his head.
"You're so sure? You haven't seen him. "
Xiao Yu asked in bewilderment.
"I haven't seen him, but don't forget, my brother has …. I asked my brother, and he said that youth's appearance was extremely ordinary and didn't have any outstanding points. Do you think that the youth my brother described would be Duan Lingtian? "
Xiao Xun looked at Duan Lingtian as he spoke.
Duan Lingtian was about to transform from a youth to a young man ….
In terms of appearance, he could absolutely be considered to be extraordinarily handsome.
