When Duan Lingtian had broken through and became a Blue Sun Golden Celestial, he discovered he could control more of the gray flame.
As for the extra portion of gray flame, it only left the metal fragment after he had a breakthrough in his cultivation base. It fused with the gray flame that he could control previously and became a part of it.
At the same time, the gray flame had grown a lot stronger.
Now that he had broken through and become an Indigo Sun Golden Celestial, Duan Lingtian discovered more of the gray flame had left the defective metal piece and merged with the gray flame that he could control.
Based on this, it seemed like when he became a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, all of the gray flame would be able to leave the defective metal piece and merge with the gray flame that he could control. At that time, the gray flame would grow even stronger.
'When I become a Great Overarching Golden Celestial, I'll be able to control a mediocre Celestial Fire!'
As the gray flame that he could control grew, Duan Lingtian became more and more certain.
If Duan Ling Tian could control the gray flame in the defective metal piece, the gray flame would definitely be a mediocre Celestial Fire instead of a primitive Celestial Fire!
'At that time, I'll become a mediocre Celestial Alchemist!'
Duan Lingtian's eyes shone brightly when he thought about this.
Duan Lingtian glanced at the gray flame that he could control again before he extinguished it with just a thought.
I wonder if it's a special ability of the Phantom Fox Clan or a special ability of her true form, the Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox … 'Duan Ling Tian thought to himself as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
When Duan Ling Tian recalled how Huan 'er had revealed he had 99 Heavenly Veins, he could not help but feel shocked.
'According to the pagoda spirit of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Huo Lao, the Three-legged Golden Crow, even Heavenly Emperors in Devata Realms can't tell how many Heavenly Veins a person has. To this day, the only person who can see that I have 99 Heavenly Veins is Xia Jie, Kerr's third uncle from the Divine Offering Land! "
There was no doubt Xia Jie was stronger than Heavenly Emperors in the Devata Realms.
However, she was far weaker than the Heavenly Emperor.
For this reason, Duan Ling Tian thought she must be a member of the Phantom Fox Clan or a Thousand Phantoms Ice Fox to see through his 99 Heavenly Veins.
"Huan 'er … isn't as simple as she seems."
At this moment, Duan Lingtian could sense that Huan 'er was not as simple as she seemed.
Most importantly, Huan 'er had said, "That's right.
Like him, she also had 99 Heavenly Veins.
"Guest, Brother Little Six is here."
Duan Lingtian was still in a daze as he thought about everything that had happened since he met Huan 'er. At this moment, Cheng' er knocked on his door a few times.
The two innermost rooms of the Drifting Cloud Inn's courtyard were set up with soundproof Formations. Only when someone knocked on the door would there be a gap in the soundproof Formation. Otherwise, Cheng 'er's voice would not have been heard.
Upon hearing Cheng 'er's voice, Duan Lingtian opened the door and walked to the entrance of the courtyard.
"Guest."
When Duan Ling Tian saw the pageboy, Little Six, again, he could clearly feel the way he looked at him had changed. Moreover, the pageboy's attitude toward him was much more respectful than before.
"Why do I feel like you've become more courteous in just a few days?"
Duan Lingtian asked teasingly.
"Guest, please don't tease me."
Little Six smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom knows about what you and the person next to you have done. I didn't expect you and the person next to you to kill an elder of the Zhou clan!
Moreover, you even killed him in front of Zhou Shu Dong, the fourth miss of the Zhou clan!
However, it's fortunate that you didn't kill the fourth miss of the Zhou clan. Otherwise, I'm afraid even the Fleeting Time Inn wouldn't be able to protect you. "
When Little Six reached the end of his sentence, he seemed to be relieved on Duan Lingtian's behalf.
"Why do you say that?"
Duan Lingtian asked in surprise.
Three days ago, when he first arrived at the Fleeting Time Inn and learned that the inn was not afraid of the Zhou Clan, he regretted not killing the culprit, the Fourth Young Lady of the Zhou Clan. After all, she was the one who started the whole thing.
He did not kill her because he was worried the Zhou clan would act out of desperation if they were forced to stay in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
"Guest, it's fine if you kill an ordinary member of the Zhou clan. However, you mustn't touch the children of the Clan Leader of the Zhou clan. After all, they're cousins with the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, and they have a good relationship.
This is especially true for the fourth miss of the Zhou clan. She's close to the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince dotes on her a lot. He treats her like his own sister. If you kill her, not only will the Zhou clan seek revenge from you, but the Fourth Prince will also seek revenge from you, "Little Six said.
Duan Lingtian frowned.
"The Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom?"
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow when he heard Little Six's words. He did not expect the fourth miss of the Zhou clan to have such a close relationship with the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
Three days ago, when he was in the restaurant, he had heard about the three most outstanding princes of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. One of them was the Fourth Prince. Moreover, it was said that the Fourth Prince was one of the two princes with the highest chance of becoming the next emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
"Yes."
Little Six nodded. "The fourth prince's mother is the Clan Leader of the Zhou clan. She's also the biological sister of the fourth miss of the Zhou clan's father."
Realization dawned on Duan Lingtian.
"Sir, is there anything you need me to do for you?"
Little Six asked.
"The Nian clan of the Fleeting Time Inn should have an auction house, right?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Yes."
Little Six nodded. Then, he asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you interested in the auction? "
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"The Nian clan's auction house holds a small-scale auction every month and a large-scale auction every year. The small-scale auction will be held in five days."
Little Six said.
Then, he added, "The Nian clan's auction house is located near the Fleeting Time Inn. If you'd like to participate in the auction, just let me know, and I'll arrange for you to be escorted there by the Nian clan's powerhouses."
"What kind of items will be auctioned in a small-scale auction?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
He had to learn more about the items before deciding if he wanted to participate in the small-scale auction held by the Nian clan.
In his opinion,
With such frequent auctions, there probably wouldn't be any rare or precious items.
However, the profound-grade Cultivation Method he wanted should not be considered rare in the capital of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
Moreover, in the Devata Realms, cultivation methods could be copied using Memory Celestial Talismans.
Duan Lingtian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Little Six's words. "It's just as I thought. In the capital of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, profound-grade cultivation methods are not rare …"
"There will be a small auction in five days. There will be a total of seven profound grade cultivation methods up for auction."
Duan Lingtian was relieved. At the same time, he said to Little Six, "Little Six, help me make the arrangements … I'm going to attend the small auction held by the Nian family's auction house in five days."
…
Not long after Little Six left, Duan Lingtian stayed in the courtyard for a while. Just as he was about to return to his room, a few uninvited guests appeared in his guest room.
"Dear guest, the Fourth Prince wishes to see you."
A loud and energetic voice rang from outside the courtyard, causing Duan Lingtian who was about to return to his room to stop in his tracks. His servant, Cheng 'er, looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "Dear guest, it's the voice of the innkeeper."
"The innkeeper of the Drifting Cloud Inn?"
Duan Lingtian raised an eyebrow. He looked at Cheng 'er and said, "Cheng' er, open the door."
After he finished speaking, Duan Lingtian returned to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down calmly.
After the door was opened, Cheng 'er bowed respectfully to the people outside.
Soon after, four people entered the courtyard. One of them was an old acquaintance of Duan Lingtian's.
Of course, even though they were 'old acquaintances', they had only met once.
It was none other than Zhou Shu Dong, the Fourth Miss of the Zhou clan.
As the saying went, 'When enemies meet again, their eyes turn red.' As soon as Zhou Shu Dong entered the room, she glared at Duan Ling Tian furiously. It was as though she could not wait to tear Duan Ling Tian into pieces before burning his bones and scattering his ashes.
Zhou Shu Dong and a young man dressed in a green robe with gold embroidery walked at the front. Behind them were an ordinary-looking old man who gave Duan Lingtian an unfathomable feeling, and a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious robes.
Based on Cheng 'er's greeting to the four people, Duan Lingtian could tell the middle-aged man was the innkeeper of the Drifting Cloud Inn.
As for the other two people, the young man dressed in a green robe with gold embroidery was tall and sturdy. He was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. He was most likely Long Xiang Yun, the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
The other old man was most likely Long Xiang Yun, the Fourth Prince's bodyguard.
Since he was able to stay by the Fourth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom's side and protect him, it was clear he was not an ordinary person. At the very least, he was an extraordinary Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
After the four people entered the courtyard, Duan Lingtian remained seated at the table. From the beginning until the end, he had no intention of standing up at all.
"How dare you!"
Zhou Shu Dong glared at Duan Lingtian and said, "Why aren't you standing up to greet the Fourth Prince?"
"I was wondering who it was … As it turns out, it's Miss Zhou …"
