"Did you hear what I said?"
When he saw Hu Xue Feng not reacting after a long time, the Merak Peak's Master's tone became slightly low.
"Yes, Master."
Although Hu Xue Feng was unwilling in his heart, he could only agree, and he silently said in his heart, "Duan Lingtian, since my Master doesn't allow me to touch you, then I'll spare your lowly life for now!"
Presently, Hu Xue Feng seemed to have completely forgotten …
He had never been a match for Duan Lingtian.
Not in the past, and not now.
Alkaid Hall.
The cultivation place of the Alkaid Peak's Master.
"Kerr."
A graceful and luxurious figure soared into the sky and descended into the pavilion, then looked at the young woman that was leaning on the side of the pavilion and looking at the horizon with infatuation, and lightly called out.
His voice was filled with doting.
"Master."
The young woman returned to her senses, then looked at the beautiful woman that suddenly appeared in the pavilion and bowed respectfully.
"Kerr, the Duan Lingtian you're constantly thinking about has returned."
The beautiful woman lightly smiled.
"Master, you said the Young Master has returned?"
The young woman's delicate figure lightly trembled when she heard the beautiful woman, then her beautiful autumn eyes lit up, and a wisp of unexpected joy appeared on her drop dead gorgeous face.
This young woman was precisely Kerr.
Since she returned three months ago and found out that Duan Lingtian and Li Fei had left the Seven Star Sword Sect, she'd always been waiting for Duan Lingtian to return.
She hadn't seen the man that she yearned for day and night for almost two years, and she missed him extremely in her heart.
As for the beautiful woman that stood before Kerr, her identity was obvious.
The Alkaid Peak's Master!
One of the Vice Sect Leaders of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
"That Duan Lingtian is extraordinary as well. He's just returned today and already ascended the life and death arena to kill a first level Nascent Soul Stage inner court disciple."
The Alkaid Peak's Master sighed with emotion, and her eyes revealed slight astonishment. "It's difficult to imagine that his age is actually the same as yours."
The natural talent in the Martial Dao of this personal disciple of hers had already caused her to be extremely shocked.
Only 21 years old, eighth level of the Origin Core Stage.
In the history of the Seven Star Sword Sect, such a monster had practically never appeared.
But now, that Duan Lingtian, the sweetheart of her personal disciple, was similarly only 21 years old, yet was already a ninth level Origin Core Stage martial artist.
He even had the ability to kill a first level Nascent Soul Stage inner court disciple!
Such a battle record was simply appalling.
"Master, is Young Master alright?"
As for who Duan Lingtian had killed, Kerr did not care. What she was most concerned about was whether Duan Lingtian was alright.
When she noticed Kerr's worry and anxiousness, the Alkaid Peak's Peak Master shook her head. "Don't worry, he's unharmed. Supposedly, that 1st level Nascent Soul Stage inner court disciple was killed by him in a single move! This is simply inconceivable. "
As she finished speaking, the Alkaid Peak's Peak Master looked at Kerr and asked. "Kerr, do you know what method he relied on to defeat someone stronger?"
Kerr shook her head, and a wisp of a smile of adoration appeared on her peerlessly beautiful face. "Young Master has always been very formidable. No matter how hard Kerr works, I'm unable to catch up to him."
Not only did Kerr's words not have the slightest trace of jealousy, she was instead happy for Duan Lingtian.
This caused the Alkaid Peak's Peak Master to be unable to help but sigh in her heart.
This disciple of hers had really completely given her heart to that Duan Lingtian.
"Now, I'm interested in meeting him."
The Alkaid Peak's Peak Master lightly smiled as she spoke to Kerr, and her words were filled with interest towards Duan Lingtian.
"Master, I want to go look for Young Master."
Kerr lightly bit her lower lip and had a delicate and pitiful appearance as she spoke in a light voice.
"Go on." “
The Alkaid Peak's Peak Master lightly smiled as she nodded. "You little girl, you've been longing for him these past three months, and even your cultivation has fallen behind by quite a bit … You've caused Master to be anxious, and Master wants to personally go capture him."
"Master, you're making fun of me again."
Kerr was embarrassed to the point her entire face flushed red, and she fled in panic.
After leaving Alkaid Hall, Kerr recalled that she didn't know where the Young Master's place of cultivation was. "Yes, I'll go look for Big Sister Fei first. Since Young Master has returned, she's surely returned as well."
When she thought up to here, Kerr headed towards Alkaid Peak.
All along the way, Kerr's beautiful figure and peerless appearance drew the gazes of many lascivious men.
"So beautiful!"
"She seems to be the personal disciple that the Alkaid Peak's Peak Master took over a year ago."
"Looks like not only does this young woman have a drop dead gorgeous appearance, her natural talent in the Martial Dao is extremely high as well. Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone as strong as the Alkaid Peak's Peak Master to take her as a personal disciple."
"Yeah, the Alkaid Peak's Peak Master is one of the few experts in our Seven Star Sword Sect. Besides the Sect Leader and the two Guardian Elders, her strength is the strongest amongst the Peak Masters of the other six great outer court sword peaks."
…
The group of inner court disciples couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and they only reluctantly withdrew their gazes when the beautiful figure vanished before their eyes.
Megrez Peak's peak, stalactite cave.
"Hu!"
Duan Lingtian didn't know how long he'd cultivated for, and only when he felt his cultivation at the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage was unable to advance any further did he open his eyes and spit out a mouthful of foul air.
"From the ninth level of the Origin Core Stage to the first level of the Nascent Soul Stage is a great gap! Even with my current natural talent, it would be difficult to break through without a few months of bitter cultivation. "
Duan Lingtian thought in his heart.
"No matter what, I must break through to the Nascent Soul Stage as soon as possible!"
Taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian's eyes flickered with slight persistence.
Of course, although Duan Lingtian hoped that he would be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage as soon as possible, he knew as well that once there was a stagnation in the process of cultivation, he must stop cultivating and calm his mind.
Otherwise, it would only produce the opposite of the desired result, and be harmful without any benefit.
"So hungry."
Rubbing his dry and flat stomach, Duan Lingtian withdrew fresh meat from his Spatial Ring and started roasting it.
After he ate his fill, he walked out of the stalactite cave.
Whoosh!
Duan Lingtian's figure flashed out to leave the cave passageway, and he stood on the tilted tree.
Sunlight passed through the clouds and mist above him and sprinkled onto Duan Lingtian's body like specks of stars, causing Duan Lingtian to feel traces of warmth.
"I wonder if Kerr has returned or not … Hmm, I'll go look for Little Fei first."
His Spiritual Force stretched out, and after confirming that there was no one on the peak of Megrez Peak, Duan Lingtian borrowed strength from the tilted tree to leap up to the peak of the peak, then headed down the mountain.
In next to no time, he arrived nearby the Trade Hall.
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian."
Duan Lingtian heard a familiar voice sound out, and he raised his head to look over before nodding with a smile to the Megrez Peak disciple that came towards him.
This Megrez Peak disciple was none other than Ye Xiao Bei!
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, can I have a word with you?"
Ye Xiao Bei looked at Duan Lingtian, and his eyes emitted a trace of a burning sheen.
Duan Lingtian nodded, then walked to an empty space nearby the Trade Hall with Ye Xiao Bei, and went straight to the point. "What's the matter?"
Ye Xiao Bei looked at Duan Lingtian and slowly said, "Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, I'm the grandson of the President of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial City. I want to invite Senior Brother to join our Jade Magnolia Trading Company … Of course, the Jade Magnolia Trading Company won't restrict Senior Brother's freedom. Senior Brother only needs to have a name in our Jade Magnolia Trading Company and be an Honorary Elder of our Jade Magnolia Trading Company."
"So long as Senior Brother is willing, then in the future, the Jade Magnolia Trading Company will give Senior Brother a salary of 10 million gold every year!"
As he finished speaking, Ye Xiao Bei looked at Duan Lingtian with a burning gaze, and he waited for Duan Lingtian's reply.
10 million gold a year!
He believed that Duan Lingtian ought to not refuse such a great temptation.
Ye Xiao Bei's recruitment had exceeded Duan Lingtian's expectations.
Only becoming an Honorary Elder in name would allow one to obtain a salary of 10 million gold every year?
Sounds pretty good.
"Jade Magnolia Trading Company?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but recall.
Jade Magnolia Trading Company, wasn't it the trading company that Xia Dou and his son were in?
Xia Dou, the Vice President of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company.
A few days ago, he wanted to kill Zhang Shou Yong to take revenge for his son, Xia Guang … In the end, he was killed by Zhang Shou Yong.
"This Ye Xiao Bei is the grandson of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company's President?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Ye Xiao Bei in surprise. No wonder Ye Xiao Bei was able to casually take out 10 million gold to throw at the Megrez Peak disciple that day. Moreover, based on his words, it seemed as if the gold he carried with him wasn't just 10 million gold.
At that time, he felt that Ye Xiao Bei's identity wasn't simple.
Now it would seem that his guess wasn't wrong in the slightest.
Even Xia Dou was only the Vice President of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company.
Whereas Ye Xiao Bei's grandfather was the President of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company, the true controller of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company.
"A salary of 10 million gold every year … Your Jade Magnolia Trading Company is really generous, willing to spend so much money to support an idle person like me."
Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at Ye Xiao Bei as he spoke slowly.
"Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, a straightforward person doesn't resort to insinuations … Our Jade Magnolia Trading Company has taken a fancy to Senior Brother's potential. Perhaps, Senior Brother isn't worth this price now, but it will be far more than this price in the future! "
Ye Xiao Bei went straight to the point and spoke magnanimously.
He spoke extremely bluntly.
The Jade Magnolia Trading Company didn't take a fancy to the current Duan Lingtian, but the Duan Lingtian that would grow up in the future.
Now, the Jade Magnolia Trading Company seemed to be at a disadvantage.
But once Duan Lingtian grew up, not only would the Jade Magnolia Trading Company be able to recover its costs, it would even be able to make a huge profit.
Moreover, it would be able to get on good terms with Duan Lingtian in advance.
To the Jade Magnolia Trading Company, this was extremely beneficial.
"You're rather direct."
Ye Xiao Bei's directness left a rather good impression on Duan Lingtian, but Duan Lingtian still shook his head. "However, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I'm not interested in becoming an honorary elder of your Jade Magnolia Trading Company."
Ye Xiao Bei was stunned. He didn't expect Duan Lingtian to reject him so decisively. "Senior Brother Duan Lingtian, won't you reconsider? If you're willing, our Jade Magnolia Trading Company can even give you ten years' salary in advance. "
Ten years' salary in advance!
10 million gold every year …
Ten years, that would be 100 million gold!
One had to admit that this condition was tempting, or at least, it tempted Duan Lingtian.
The total amount of gold and silver he had was less than half of a hundred million taels of gold.
"I'm sorry."
Duan Lingtian still shook his head and rejected Ye Xiao Bei.
Although he had a conflict with the Vice President of the Jade Magnolia Trading Company, Xia Dou, and his son, he didn't have any ill feelings towards the Jade Magnolia Trading Company.
