The tall middle-aged man suddenly spoke. A familiar voice entered Duan Lingtian's ears. For a time, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but think of a figure.
It was the figure he had seen in the Hidden Fog Sect's Sky Stairway Prison.
It was the blood-robed middle-aged man who guarded the eighth step of the Sky Stairway.
The blood-robed middle-aged man was a higher deity. He was skilled in the Time Laws and had even comprehended the fusion of three mysteries of the Time Laws. His strength was astonishing.
However, Lin Ming's attainments in the Space Laws far surpassed his opponent's. Thus, he was able to defeat his opponent and smoothly pass.
"You are … that Xue Haishan from the Sky Stairway Prison?"
Duan Lingtian recalled. The person in front of him was the Xue Haishan he had fought in the Sky Stairway Prison.
At that time, because Xue Haishan didn't kill him, although he defeated Xue Haishan, he didn't kill him.
Xue Haishan even said that he would find him for a drink in the future.
"Haha … that's me."
Xue Haishan laughed.
"Xue Haishan, Xue Haichuan … you are?"
Duan Lingtian glanced at Xue Haishan and then at Xue Haichuan. Surprise flashed in his eyes.
He also had a faint guess in his heart.
No wonder Xue Haishan was only a higher deity but he could comprehend the fusion of three mysteries of the Time Laws. It turned out that his bloodline talent and perception were transcendent.
"Haichuan is my younger brother from the same father and mother."
Xue Haishan grinned as he said.
Then, he proudly said, "During the 10,000 years I was trapped in the Hidden Fog Sect's Sky Stairway Prison, this little brother of mine also entered the Tianlong Clan. Moreover, he became the Tianlong Clan's White Dragon Elder.
"I just came out of the Hidden Fog Sect's Sky Stairway Prison a few days ago. Haichuan returned to the Hidden Fog Sect this time specifically to bring me to the Tianlong Clan."
The elder brother was like a father. The current Xue Haishan gave off the feeling of a father who was proud of his son's achievements.
"Congratulations on breaking free."
Duan Lingtian laughed. Now, he finally understood why Xue Haishan was so polite and friendly to him.
He had thought that there was some sort of trick to it.
Now, it seemed that he had been overthinking things.
The reason why Xue Haichuan was so friendly to him was because he had defeated Xue Haishan, but did not kill him.
Even if he had killed Xue Haishan back then, no one would have known because that was the Stairway Heaven Prison.
Even if it was Xue Haichuan, he would only know that his brother had died in the Stairway Heaven Prison when he didn't see his brother. As for how he died and who killed him, it was impossible for him to know.
"Brother Duan, I told you that I wanted to drink with you. This time, I didn't even go to the Tianlong Clan before I dragged my brother Haichuan here to drink with you."
Xue Haishan grinned and said, "If it's convenient for you, we can go to your place to drink. If it's not convenient, we can go to a restaurant in Linghu City to drink."
"Come to think of it, there should be quite a few restaurants under the Linghu family. We can ask Patriarch Linghu to arrange a private room in one of those restaurants for us."
Xue Haishan seemed very enthusiastic.
Before Duan Lingtian could speak, Xue Haichuan had already spoken. "Brother Duan, you didn't kill my big brother back then. To me, that is a great favor. Although you have some grudges with the Hidden Fog Sect, I won't use that to attack you."
Before Duan Lingtian could respond, Xue Haichuan had already made a heart demon blood oath in front of Duan Lingtian. "I, Xue Haichuan, hereby make a heart demon blood oath … as long as Duan Lingtian doesn't take the initiative to become enemies with me, Xue Haichuan, I, Xue Haichuan, will never do anything to harm Brother Duan. Otherwise, I am willing to be sentenced to death by the strongest powerhouse!"
When Xue Haichuan made this heart demon blood oath, it meant that as long as Duan Lingtian didn't provoke him, he couldn't do anything to Duan Lingtian.
No matter what method he used.
Even if Xue Haichuan didn't make a heart demon blood oath, Duan Lingtian didn't think that Xue Haichuan would do anything to him, the benefactor who had once spared Xue Haichuan's life. But, when he heard Xue Haichuan make a heart demon blood oath, his heart calmed down.
"Let's go out and drink. That way, the atmosphere will be more lively."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
A moment later, under the arrangements of Linghu Renjie, the Patriarch of the Linghu family, the manager of a high-end restaurant in Linghu City personally came to lead Duan Lingtian and the other two there.
Duan Lingtian and the other two were directly arranged in the best private room in the restaurant.
This private room was called 'Dragon Soars the Four Seas'. Normally, it wasn't used to receive guests. It was a private room used by the core Elders of the Linghu family and above to receive guests.
"Brother Duan, I, Xue Haichuan, am rarely impressed by others, but I have to say that I am truly impressed by you."
After drinking, the distance between Duan Lingtian and Xue Haichuan was further closed. Xue Haichuan looked at Duan Lingtian and said with admiration, "Even if it's my own brother, I've never been impressed by him."
Xue Haichuan heard this and smiled awkwardly.
At the same time, Xue Haichuan began to count in detail the things that he knew Duan Lingtian had done and gave him a thumbs up every time.
In the end, he was drunk and only then did he calm down.
Of course, the reason why Xue Haichuan was drunk was because he didn't use his divine power to sober himself up. Otherwise, with his cultivation as a Higher Deity, he wouldn't get drunk no matter how much he drank.
Duan Lingtian and Xue Haichuan, on the other hand, immediately used their divine power to wake them up after seeing that they were drunk. Then, they smiled knowingly.
"Brother Duan, this is my big brother's temper. If he has offended you in any way, please forgive him."
Xue Haichuan said to Duan Lingtian with an apologetic look.
Duan Lingtian heard this and shook his head with a smile. "Brother Haichuan is just being honest. How can I offend him?"
"Brother Duan."
Xue Haichuan took out a pill bottle from his Storage Ring and handed it to Duan Lingtian. "There's a Quenching Yang Divine Pill in here. It should be able to help you break through the bottleneck of your cultivation."
When Xue Haichuan said this, it was obvious that he had used his Divine Consciousness to check Duan Lingtian's cultivation.
Of course, he was a Middle Deity Emperor and his Divine Consciousness was powerful. As long as he didn't check Duan Lingtian's soul, it would be difficult for Duan Lingtian to detect it.
"Quenching Yang Divine Pill?!"
When Duan Lingtian heard Xue Haichuan's words, his eyes narrowed. The Quenching Yang Divine Pill was one of the few Emperor Grade Divine Pills that he knew could help him break through the bottleneck of his cultivation. Although he knew the recipe, he didn't have the ability to refine it.
Of course, the most important thing was that the herbs needed to refine the Quenching Yang Divine Pill were extremely rare. Even if he could refine it, he wouldn't be able to do it.
If he only wanted to refine the Quenching Yang Divine Pill, he was confident that he could refine it after a few more years of study.
However, he would need to have sufficient materials.
Although Duan Lingtian was excited and looked at the pill bottle in Xue Haichuan's hand with a burning gaze, he resisted the urge to take it.
Duan Lingtian looked at Xue Haichuan seriously and said, "Brother Haichuan, this Quenching Yang Divine Pill is something that I desperately want, so I don't want to reject it."
"However, if I accept this Divine Pill, I will definitely give you a more valuable one in the future!"
"That's my promise to you."
The Quenching Yang Divine Pill could break through the bottleneck of Duan Lingtian's cultivation. It was extremely important to Duan Lingtian.
It should be known that it was meaningless for him to continue cultivating as long as he did not break through the bottleneck.
No matter how many Divine Pills and miraculous medicines he consumed, there would not be any improvement. No matter how many Divine Pills and miraculous medicines he consumed, they would only be effective after he broke through the bottleneck and became a Middle Celestial King.
Otherwise, the medicinal effect would only accumulate in his body, and it would be drained away with every passing moment until the time was up and it was all drained away.
"Brother Duan, you don't have to do this."
A hint of gentleness flashed in Xue Haichuan's eyes when he saw Duan Lingtian's reaction. At the same time, he shook his head and said, "You did me a huge favor by not killing my brother back then … This Quenching Yang Divine Pill is nothing."
"You can't say that."
Duan Lingtian shook his head firmly. "Brother Haishan didn't kill me back then, that's why I didn't kill him. If he wanted to kill me, there's no way I wouldn't have killed him.
Brother Haishan is only alive because of his own efforts. I don't dare to claim the credit. "
Duan Lingtian's words were so direct that Xue Haichuan had a whole new level of respect for him.
At this moment, Xue Haichuan could see that if he did not accept Duan Lingtian's kindness, it would be impossible for Duan Lingtian to accept the Divine Pill in his hand. "Alright, I'll wait for you to give me a better Divine Pill."
"Brother Duan, I heard that your Alchemy skills are comparable to the best Emperor Grade Divine Pill Masters."
Xue Haichuan said with a smile.
At the same time, he passed the pill bottle that contained the Quenching Yang Divine Pill to Duan Lingtian.
"I won't keep you waiting for too long, Brother Haichuan."
Duan Lingtian solemnly reached out to take the pill bottle and said to Xue Haichuan solemnly, "After I join the Tianlong Clan, I'll give you a Divine Pill that will greatly benefit you within three years."
"Join the Tianlong Clan?"
Xue Haichuan was stunned at first, but then he smiled and said, "Brother Duan, if you want to join the Tianlong Clan, I can recommend you now.
Your talent and comprehension aside, your achievements in Alchemy are enough for the Tianlong Clan to accept you into the inner sect. "
Xue Haichuan's words were filled with confidence in Duan Lingtian.
"Brother Haichuan, I plan to participate in the Tianlong Clan's Hidden Dragon Competition in ten years."
Duan Lingtian carefully put away the pill bottle in his hand and smiled at Xue Haichuan.
"I see."
Xue Haichuan came to a sudden realization. He smiled and said, "I forgot. If you enter the Sky Dragon Sect before the Hidden Dragon Grand Competition, as long as you rank in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Grand Competition, you will be able to obtain a Divine Elixir."
"This is indeed the best choice for you," Li Tianlan said.
"It seems that we won't have to wait too long for the next time we meet … You'll see each other in ten years."
Xue Haichuan smiled.
"Then we'll find you and Brother Haishan to drink in ten years … At that time, we'll drink with Brother Haishan to our heart's content and not go home until we're drunk!"
Duan Lingtian also smiled.
After chatting for a while, Duan Lingtian said goodbye to Xue Haichuan and left. "Brother Haichuan, when you go back, apologize to Brother Haishan for not being able to see you off."
Now, Duan Lingtian was anxious to return home and take the Quenching Yang Divine Pill to break through his cultivation.
"Breaking through your cultivation is more important."
Xue Haichuan smiled understandingly.
