Xiong Quan relied on his own hard work to grow from a mountain kid to a Guardian of the Boundless Sect …
This was a surprising fact.
Moreover, after Xiong Quan became a Guardian of the Boundless Sect, he was still able to remember his origins and take care of his hometown. This was something that was extremely hard to come by.
It was admirable!
It was precisely because of this that Xiong Quan was able to obtain the acknowledgement of the group of villagers in his hometown.
Because of Xiong Quan, the group of villagers loved the house and its crow, and Duan Lingtian's group received warm hospitality in the village as well.
After staying in the village for a few days and enjoying the countryside life for a while, Duan Lingtian's group of four prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Duan Lingtian went to find Xiong Quan.
"Xiong Quan, this is the antidote … In the future, you don't have to worry that the poison in your body will relapse every half a year. This antidote is sufficient to eradicate the poison in your body."
Duan Lingtian withdrew a medicinal pill and passed it to Xiong Quan.
At that time, for the sake of controlling Xiong Quan, he'd tampered with the grade nine Spirit Clearing Pill he gave Xiong Quan to consume and added poison.
It was a type of slow acting poison, and so long as one didn't consume the antidote to alleviate the poison after half a year, one would die without a doubt!
Now, Duan Lingtian passed the antidote to eradicate the poison to Xiong Quan.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Xiong Quan took a deep breath and consumed the medicinal pill, then said sincerely, "Young Master, in the future, when Xiong Quan isn't by your side, you must take good care of yourself and protect yourself … Young Master doesn't have to feel guilty about Xiong Quan's matter, everything is fate."
"Fate?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head. "Xiong Quan, let me ask you, what is fate?"
Xiong Quan was speechless when he heard this.
He didn't know how to explain.
"Xiong Quan, remember, you must not believe in the so-called fate … Now, although your Dantian is crippled, your Advanced Sword Force is still present. Since you've opened the door of Force, even if you don't have Origin Energy, you can similarly continue comprehending Sword Concept!"
Duan Lingtian slowly said to Xiong Quan.
"It's not important."
Xiong Quan shook his head and smiled, looking extremely carefree.
Without Origin Energy, so what if he comprehended Sword Concept?
Only the sword in his hand was strong, and his attacks were strong.
In terms of speed, he was no different from an ordinary ninth level Body Tempering martial artist.
"Xiong Quan, I know that your dantian has been destroyed and you've lost all hope … However, I still have to tell you that I have a way to repair your dantian!"
Duan Lingtian said to Xiong Quan with a solemn expression.
"What?!"
Xiong Quan was frightened by Duan Lingtian's words. He was like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. "Young Master, you said you have a way to repair my destroyed Dantian? Is that true? "
The current Xiong Quan was no longer as calm and carefree as before.
He was so excited that he lost his composure.
The reason why he had pretended to be like that earlier was because he didn't want Duan Lingtian to worry and feel guilty …
In fact, his heart had never walked out of the shadow of his dantian being crippled.
Over the past few years, Duan Lingtian did not treat him as a slave because he controlled him with drugs. Instead, he treated him like family, which made him feel grateful.
Now, even without the control of drugs, he still tried his best to think for Duan Lingtian.
"You've been with me for a few years, have I ever spoken empty words?"
Duan Lingtian wasn't surprised by Xiong Quan's excitement. If they could choose, no one would choose to become a cripple.
Xiong Quan's face flushed red when he obtained confirmation, and he was extremely excited.
"However, even though I have a way to help you repair your dantian, I'm afraid it will still take some time … At least five or six years, at most eight or nine years, or even over 10 years."
Duan Lingtian poured a bucket of cold water on Xiong Quan when he saw him so excited.
However, Xiong Quan didn't mind, and he grinned. "Young Master, I can wait."
Duan Lingtian nodded and patted Xiong Quan on the shoulder. "Then I'll be leaving first … No need to send me off. Properly comprehend your Advanced Sword Force. With your comprehension ability, comprehending Sword Concept isn't a difficult thing. I hope that when I see you next time, you've already comprehended Sword Concept. "
"Young Master, I will. I absolutely won't disappoint you."
Xiong Quan hurriedly nodded.
Duan Lingtian smiled with satisfaction, then turned around and left to gather with Li Fei, Zhang Shou Yong, and Wang Qiong before leaving this remote mountain range together.
"Scoundrel, are you still thinking about Xiong Quan?"
Li Fei couldn't help but ask when she saw Duan Lingtian didn't speak all along the way.
Duan Lingtian sighed. "My responsibility for Xiong Quan falling to such an end isn't small."
Li Fei held Duan Lingtian's hand and consoled. "Don't blame yourself, you were powerless at that time as well … That withered old man was too strong. But, Big Brother Zhang killing that withered old man can be considered to have helped Xiong Quan take revenge. "
Duan Lingtian nodded, then he looked at the young man on the other Ferghana Horse beside him. "Big Brother Zhang, thank you."
Zhang Shou Yong shook his head and smiled. "Brother Ling Tian, you don't have to be courteous … That day, when I saw you for the first time at Xuan Chi Inn, I had a feeling of familiarity at first sight. The facts prove that our temperaments are compatible, and we're bound to become friends. "
"Yeah."
Wang Qiong who sat in front of Zhang Shou Yong nodded as well. "Little Sister Li Fei and I hit it off at first sight as well, and I've taken her to be my own little sister in my heart … You're not allowed to bully her in the future. Otherwise, I'm not a match for you, but I can ask Brother Yong to help me teach you a lesson. "
As she finished speaking, Wang Qiong's tone had an extra sense of being protective.
"Then wouldn't I be eaten by this little girl for sure in the future?"
Duan Lingtian laughed exaggeratedly.
"Hmph! Scoundrel, let's see if you dare bully me in the future. "
Wang Qiong's words caused Li Fei to beam with delight, and her beautiful face was filled with complacency.
In the following days, Duan Lingtian's group of four didn't walk quickly, and they toured the scenery all along the way as they headed towards the Seven Star Sword Sect.
Something worthy of mentioning was.
When they were about to arrive at Black Bamboo City, Duan Lingtian's cultivation broke through once more.
Ninth level of the Origin Core Stage!
"Presently, I've broken through to the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage, and my strength is comparable to the strength of 131 ancient mammoths … Compared to an ordinary ninth level Origin Core Stage martial artist, I possess the strength of 11 ancient mammoths more!"
"The third form of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, the Wyrm Python Form, has finally attained perfection!"
"The scope of effect of the Quake Energy has increased to the limit as well … So long as my opponent's strength doesn't exceed the strength of 100 ancient mammoths or more, I'm not afraid!"
Since he broke through, Duan Lingtian's mood had always been slightly surging.
"Liu Shi Ge!"
Duan Lingtian's gaze flickered with cold lights, and a wisp of coldness appeared on the corners of his mouth. "When we return this time, we should properly settle the debt you owe me …"
Liu Shi Ge had heavily injured him that day, and even knocked him out.
He'd always been ashamed of this.
He hoped that one day, he'd be able to rely on his own strength to make Liu Shi Ge repay it tenfold, a hundredfold!
Now, although he hadn't broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, after his cultivation stepped into the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage, he was already unafraid of an ordinary first level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist …
"So long as Liu Shi Ge hasn't broken through to the second level of the Nascent Soul Stage, then with my current strength, it's sufficient to completely crush him!"
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart, and his eyes emitted a trace of yearning.
After returning to his senses, Duan Lingtian smelled the fragrance of Li Fei's hair before him, and felt the strong wind that blew from his galloping horse, and his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was gentle like water.
Presently, an entire year had already passed since he left the Seven Star Sword Sect that day.
This time, it wasn't only his cultivation that had broken through once more.
Li Fei's cultivation had broken through half a month ago, breaking through to the seventh level of the Origin Core Stage!
Of course, the reason Li Fei's advancement was so swift and closely followed Duan Lingtian's footsteps was because she'd consumed the 10,000 Year Stalactite Milk that day …
Now, Li Fei's natural talent in the Martial Dao was similar to Duan Lingtian, and they'd both arrived at the limit that a martial artist could attain.
A year passed.
Duan Lingtian was already 21 years old.
"Brother Ling Tian, that city ahead is Black Bamboo City?"
Zhang Shou Yong's gaze descended onto a small black dot in the distance as he slowly asked.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. He knew that arriving at Black Bamboo City also meant that they were about to part ways with Zhang Shou Yong and his wife.
All along the way, he and Li Fei had formed a deep friendship with Zhang Shou Yong and his wife.
It was unavoidable that they were reluctant to part.
"Let's have a meal together after we arrive at Black Bamboo City."
Zhang Shou Yong looked at Duan Lingtian and Li Fei as he suggested.
Duan Lingtian and Li Fei naturally had no objections.
"Little Sister Li Fei, I'll surely come visit you with Brother Yong when I'm free in the future."
Wang Qiong spoke to Li Fei with a face filled with tender affection.
"Big Sister Wang Qiong, I'll miss you."
Li Fei's beautiful eyes faintly had traces of mist as she spoke in a light voice.
Duan Lingtian consoled Li Fei. "Alright, all good things must come to an end, be happy. Not to mention, it's not like we won't have the chance to meet again in the future … Besides that, we still have to eat together in a while. Big Sister Wang Qiong will feel uncomfortable seeing you like this. "
Li Fei lightly nodded and squeezed out a trace of a forced smile on her face.
During this half a year of time, she and Wang Qiong felt like old friends at first sight and were close like sisters. Now that they were going to separate, they were naturally extremely reluctant.
The small black dot in the distance gradually grew larger.
Finally, it turned into a city.
This city stood in the distance as if it had turned into a giant beast that swallowed the carriages and dragons in one gulp.
After Duan Lingtian and the other three entered the city, they randomly found a restaurant and sat down by the window.
Then, it was time to order.
"Brother Ling Tian, they seem to be looking at you?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian heard Zhang Shouyong's voice.
Only then did Duan Lingtian realize that the group of guests in the restaurant were looking at him strangely.
In fact, when he entered the city just now, he realized that some people looked at him as if they had seen money. Their eyes were shining and their faces were filled with greed.
"What's going on?"
Duan Lingtian had no idea what was going on.
The Shi family mansion.
"Patriarch, I want to see the Patriarch!"
An extremely fast figure dashed into the Shi Family Mansion and rushed all the way to the main hall of the Shi Family Mansion.
Inside the Shi family hall.
"Recently, is there still no news of that Duan Lingtian?"
The old man in brocade clothes had a cold expression as he looked indifferently at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked.
