Duan Lingtian couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Gu You Ting's ridicule.
In next to no time, under Duan Lingtian's request, the Emperor ordered someone to find a pile of medicinal herbs for Duan Lingtian, and it was precisely a portion of the medicinal herbs required to refine the Grade Nine Spirit Cleansing Pill.
Duan Lingtian didn't ask the Emperor to prepare a few of the medicinal ingredients.
Because he held back and didn't plan to refine the complete Grade Nine Spirit Cleansing Pill for the Emperor to consume.
Since ancient times, kings were the most heartless.
He wasn't unfamiliar with this saying.
So he held back.
If he were to refine the complete Grade Nine Spirit Cleansing Pill, it would be able to easily eradicate all the poison in the Emperor's body.
But in this way, between him and the Emperor, the Emperor would undoubtedly hold the initiative.
Even if the Emperor still set up the Embroidered Uniform Guard for him, he would surely be restrained in every aspect and couldn't act freely.
So he planned to keep the Emperor in suspense and make the Emperor ask him for help. In this way, the Embroidered Uniform Guard under him would be able to do as they pleased.
After all, there was an Emperor supporting him from behind.
Although the incomplete Grade Nine Spirit Cleansing Pill was unable to eradicate the poison in the Emperor's body, it could help him temporarily suppress a portion of the poison …
"What a miraculous medicinal pill! I can feel that the poison in my internal organs has been suppressed by quite a bit. "
After the Emperor consumed the incomplete Grade Nine Spirit Cleansing Pill, his eyes lit up and a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, you need to consume this detoxification medicinal pill for a long period of time before it can completely eradicate the poison in your body …. If you don't consume it for a period of time, the poison in your Majesty's body will relapse once again, and it might even be even more violent than before, like a scourge! So in the future, I'll refine this detoxification medicinal pill for your Majesty every once in a while. "
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled at the Emperor, and his eyes flickered with flowing lights; only he knew what he was thinking in his heart.
"Duan Lingtian, why don't you refine more detoxification medicinal pills for me?"
The Emperor looked at Duan Lingtian with a burning gaze.
As the supreme Emperor of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, he was naturally able to discern what Duan Lingtian was thinking, and it was none other than wanting to use this to threaten him.
And if he wanted to live, he had no other choice …
"Your Majesty, this detoxification pill is extremely difficult to refine. Unless I recuperate for more than a month, I don't have the confidence to refine it successfully."
Duan Lingtian naturally declined.
He understood that the rarer something was, the more valuable it was.
"Duan Lingtian, since that's the case, why don't you contribute the formula for the antidote? There are many alchemists in the palace who can serve His Majesty better."
Gu You Ting looked at Duan Lingtian and said slowly.
"Prime Minister Gu, I'm really sorry, but I won't share my pill formula with anyone."
Duan Lingtian glanced at Gu You Ting calmly.
He couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush in front of Gu You Ting!
"Not even His Majesty?"
Gu You Ting's lips curled into a cold smile, as if he wanted to use the Emperor to force Duan Lingtian.
"Prime Minister Gu, don't scare me. If I'm scared by you and forget the pill formula, then I won't be able to refine it myself in the end … At that time, if His Majesty doesn't have any detoxification pills to use and the poison relapses again, then all the blame will be borne by you alone! "
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he lightly smiled.
"You!"
Gu You Ting's face went pale.
At this moment, the Divine Might Marquis Nie Yuan stood out and looked at the Emperor. "Your Majesty, according to what I know … Pill formulas are of extraordinary significance to alchemists, and that detoxification pill formula ought to be Duan Lingtian's unique pill formula … To an alchemist, a unique pill formula is more important than his life!"
"The Marquis is right. Your Majesty, this point is understandable. "
Zhan Xiong stood out as well and spoke up for Duan Lingtian.
"What? Could it be that you're worried that I'll forcefully seize this little fellow's pill formula?"
The Emperor smiled indifferently as he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Duan Lingtian, I approve your request! From today onwards, I'll issue an edict to establish the Embroidered Uniform Guard … And you will be the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard! As for the members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Divine Might Marquis will be in charge of dispatching them. How about it? "
As he finished speaking, the Emperor looked at Nie Yuan.
"I have no objections."
Nie Yuan received his orders.
"Thank you, your Majesty."
Duan Lingtian nodded and smiled to the Emperor.
The Prime Minister Gu You Ting who stood at the side of the Emperor had an extremely unsightly expression.
Embroidered Uniform Guard!
Directly subordinate to the Emperor and only obey the Emperor's orders!
The Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Duan Lingtian, was only responsible to the Emperor and had the authority to act first and report later!
Along with the Emperor's edict, the entire Imperial City was stirred.
Embroidered Uniform Guard!
Before today, this name was so unfamiliar to everyone.
But now, it caused everyone to be dumbstruck.
When had such an organization appeared in the Crimson Sky Kingdom?
"Even though I knew that Duan Lingtian had made a great contribution this time and that the Emperor would reward him heavily, I never imagined that it would be so exaggerated … Once the Embroidered Uniform Guard is established, he, as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, would simply be equivalent to the Emperor's spokesperson!"
"Too exaggerated! Once the Embroidered Uniform Guard is established, the Imperial City will probably be in turmoil again. "
"Duan Lingtian, at the mere age of 18, is already practically standing at the peak of the Crimson Sky Kingdom. It's hard to imagine!"
…
The entire Imperial City was filled with similar discussions.
Divine Might Marquis Estate, within the audience hall.
"Little Tian, you really have guts, even daring to threaten his majesty the Emperor."
The Divine Might Marquis Nie Yuan shook his head and smiled. He was slightly surprised when he recalled the scene he saw in the Imperial Palace earlier.
Truly a newborn calf that isn't afraid of a tiger!
"I was frightened by you earlier."
Nie Fen looked at Duan Lingtian as well and laughed bitterly.
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled. "I was originally asking a tiger for its skin in this matter … Uncle Nie, besides Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, I only need nine people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but they must be elites."
"What counts as elites?"
Nie Yuan glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian, and was slightly surprised that Duan Lingtian only needed so few people.
"Eight of them must be existences that are at least on par with Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang … As for the last person, I want the Half-step Void Stage!"
As Duan Lingtian finished speaking, flowing lights flickered within his eyes.
Half-step Void Stage?
Nie Yuan and Nie Fen were both shocked.
Nie Yuan returned to his senses and scolded with a smile. "You kid, you asked me for eight people whose strengths aren't inferior to Zhang Qian and Zhao Gang, and my heart already ached … But now, you've directly demanded an exorbitant price and directly asked me for Half-step Void Stage experts! Do you think Half-step Void Stage experts are cabbages sold in the market? "
"Uncle Nie, if you're able to send the nine people I need to me, I'll give you a great fortuitous encounter."
Duan Lingtian's eyes slightly squinted as he smiled mysteriously.
"What great fortuitous encounter?"
Nie Yuan looked at Duan Lingtian with a bewildered expression.
Even the nearby Nie Fen had his interest aroused.
"Uncle Nie, have you heard of the Monkey Wine?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a smile.
"Monkey Wine? What? You have it, kid? "
Nie Yuan's eyes lit up and he was slightly surprised.
Whereas Nie Fen's breathing instead became hurried. To Origin Core Stage martial artists, the Monkey Wine was a precious treasure that could increase their cultivation.
"Since Uncle Nie knows of the Monkey Wine, then have you heard of the Monkey King Wine?"
Duan Lingtian asked again.
"Monkey King Wine?"
Nie Yuan shook his head. As for Nie Fen, he didn't even know.
"The Monkey King Wine possesses a medicinal effect comparable to the Void Advancement Pill …"
Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at Nie Yuan, then slowly said, "I think that Uncle Nie ought to be interested in this, right?"
Void Advancement Pill?
Nie Yuan and Nie Fen were both stunned.
Nie Yuan was the first to react, his pupils constricted as his breathing became hurried, and his chest rose and fell like a bellows. "Little Tian, you … Is what you said true?"
Duan Lingtian didn't directly answer Nie Fen, and continued. "With Uncle Nie's current cultivation that's only a step away from the Void Prying Stage, if you have the assistance of the Monkey King Wine, you'll surely be able to successfully break through to the Void Prying Stage within half a year and welcome the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!"
"You little fellow even know of the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation?"
Right at this moment, an aged figure silently walked in.
It was precisely the Senior Marquis of the Divine Might Marquis Estate.
"Grandpa Nie."
Duan Lingtian didn't notice the old man's arrival in the slightest, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As expected of an existence at the Void Prying Stage, even if he's unable to utilize Origin Energy, his cultivation is still there.
"Father!"
"Grandfather!"
Nie Yuan and Nie Fen respectfully bowed to the old man.
"Little Tian, Grandpa Nie will send you two Half-step Void Stage experts, and you give Grandpa Nie two drops of the Monkey King Wine. How about it?"
The old man looked at Duan Lingtian, and his eyes flickered with traces of flowing lights.
Two Half-step Void Stage experts?
Duan Lingtian was shocked.
Looks like the Divine Might Marquis Estate's resources and reserves were even more formidable than he'd imagined.
Duan Lingtian returned to his senses and lightly smiled. "Grandpa Nie, I'm afraid this won't do … I don't have much of the Monkey King Wine in my possession."
The old man didn't mind and smiled. "Then leave one drop for your Uncle Nie, and Grandpa Nie will still send you two Half-step Void Stage experts. How about it? I truly never imagined that you'd actually be able to encounter a thing of legend like the Monkey King Wine. "
Obviously, the old man knew what the Monkey King Wine was.
"Thank you, Grandpa Nie!"
Duan Lingtian smiled, then said, "Grandpa Nie, I still have a piece of good news to tell you … I ought to be able to condense a grade eight Pill Fire in a few days, and at that time, I'll be able to refine a grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pill for you! Once you consume the grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pill, the toxic poison in your body will be completely eradicated in three months at most. "
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and they were dazzling like an array of stars.
Even Nie Yuan and Nie Fen both revealed pleasantly surprised expressions …
"Uncle Nie, these are the medicinal materials required for the grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pill."
Duan Lingtian waved his hand and wrote down the list of medicinal materials required for the grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pill. Of course, he wrote down an extra set of medicinal materials.
The other set was prepared to refine the grade eight Spirit Cleansing Pill for Xiong Quan.
After three months, not only would the toxic poison in the old man's body be eradicated, even Xiong Quan's cultivation would recover to the Void Prying Stage!
"Good! I'll immediately order people to gather them. "
Nie Yuan nodded, and a trace of excitement was revealed between his brows.
"Here's a drop of Monkey King Wine."
Duan Lingtian withdrew a medicinal pill bottle and passed it to Nie Yuan.
