Dawn, the world awoke.
"Hu!"
Duan Lingtian, who sat cross-legged on the bed and cultivated for an entire night, heaved a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.
"Crackle crackle …"
Duan Lingtian lightly stretched out his arms, and a wave of light sounds of bones rubbing together sounded out.
"Just a little bit more and I'll be able to break through to the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Stage!"
As he felt his current cultivation, Duan Lingtian's face revealed a satisfied smile.
After getting off the bed, Duan Lingtian left the room with Little Gold.
After dealing with the breakfast prepared by the members of the Ancient River Trading Company's branch, Duan Lingtian went to look for Feng Ping and the others to bid farewell and leave.
With Feng Ping and Zhao Yu in the lead, the Seven Star Sword Sect members were all present, and they sent Duan Lingtian off with their gazes …
They only returned to their senses when Duan Lingtian's figure vanished before their eyes.
"Elder Feng Ping, President Lan gave me some tea leaves half a month ago, why don't you come over and try them?"
Zhao Yu looked at Feng Ping and invited.
Feng Ping's gaze shone as he gladly agreed. "The tea President Lan gave is surely good tea … Then I'll accept."
Along with Zhao Yu and Feng Ping returning to the courtyard, Zhao Lei and the other two Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciples returned as well.
No one noticed.
At this moment, a wisp of an imperceptible evil smile faintly appeared on the corners of Zhao Lei's mouth.
On the other side, after Duan Lingtian turned onto the small path, his Spiritual Force became vigilant.
"Hmm? Could it be that I'm thinking too much? "
At the first possible moment, Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Force didn't notice any clues, and he couldn't help but think to himself.
But, when he passed through the small path, he was instead able to notice a gaze that was tightly locked onto him …
Needless to say, this person was extremely cautious, and even an ordinary Void Prying Stage martial artist might not be able to notice him.
But unfortunately, Duan Lingtian's career as a weapon specialist in his previous life allowed him to grasp a superb anti-tracking ability, and he noticed this person concealed in the shadows at the first possible moment.
Not only that, through his acute Spiritual Force, Duan Lingtian even detected the cultivation of the person.
"First level of the Void Prying Stage? That Zhao Yu really thinks highly of me! "
Duan Lingtian rubbed his nose as a wisp of an evil smile appeared on his face, and then he shook his sleeve as he said via voice transmission, "Little Gold, help me drag that unlucky fellow out later … Besides that, don't kill him, I want to ask him a few questions."
"Great, great!"
The little gold mouse's voice transmission contained slight joy and excitement mixed within.
Duan Lingtian was not surprised by this.
In the past two months, Xiao Jin had never made a move. Perhaps it had been suppressing its anger for a long time …
Now, this fire finally had a place to vent.
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian made a detour into a remote alley in the Ancient City of Everlast.
Relying on his acute Spiritual Force, Duan Lingtian was able to sense that the first level Void Prying Stage martial artist that followed him was still concealed nearby, as if he was ready to wait for an opportunity to make a move against him at any moment.
"Xiao Jin, drag him out!"
Duan Lingtian used a voice transmission to tell the little gold mouse the exact location of the first level Void Prying Stage martial artist before directly asking her to make a move.
"Squeak squeak ~"
The little gold mouse cried out excitedly, then instantly transformed into a golden light that flashed out from Duan Lingtian's sleeve.
After a short moment, Duan Lingtian heard a wave of thunderclaps sound out from behind him.
It was precisely the little gold mouse's Half-step Advanced Lightning Force.
In the next moment.
Bang!
"Ah!"
A heavy sound of falling to the ground accompanied by a wave of miserable shrill cries sounded out.
Duan Lingtian turned around and he could see a middle aged man lying on the ground in an extremely sorry state. Beside him was the little gold mouse that stood in the sky, and she held a pocket sized spirit sword in her hand.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Even though the little gold mouse was only a tiny thing, yet in the eyes of the middle aged man, it was like a dreadful beast that caused him to have a panicked expression as he ceaselessly begged for mercy.
"Who are you? Why did Zhao Yu send you to follow me? "
Duan Lingtian glanced indifferently at the middle aged man as he asked.
But the middle aged man paid no attention to Duan Lingtian, and he still stared at the little gold mouse with an expression of terror and uneasiness.
"Little Gold, if he doesn't answer my question within the time of three breaths, then casually give him a sword strike."
Duan Lingtian frowned when he was disregarded by the middle aged man, and he spoke to the little gold mouse.
"Squeak squeak ~"
The little gold mouse hurriedly nodded when she heard what little Ling Tian said, and her jade green eyes flickered with cold lights, and the pocket sized spirit sword in her hand flickered with a ghastly sheen of Origin Energy.
"You … All of you …."
The middle aged man's face went gloomy. Never had he imagined that this Seven Star Sword Sect inner court disciple he was following would actually be together with this strange mouse type demon beast.
"Zhao Yu, you've really gotten me into trouble!"
The middle aged man gnashed his teeth, and his heart suddenly went cold. "If I knew earlier that this kid had a demon beast protecting him … Then no matter how many benefits that Zhao Yu gave me, I wouldn't have accepted this assignment."
"There's another breath of time."
Duan Lingtian's voice was calm, as if he was speaking of an unimportant matter.
The middle aged man never imagined that the sudden change in his thoughts would actually waste two breaths of time ….
Now, when Duan Lingtian's words entered into his ears, it was like a life-reaping note, and it caused his face to go gloomy.
"I'll speak, I'll speak!"
The middle aged man hurriedly looked at Duan Lingtian as he spoke in panic when he saw the spirit sword in the hand of the mouse type demon beast that suppressed him erupting with Origin Energy.
"Squeak squeak ~"
The little gold mouse was slightly dejected, and it bared its fangs and brandished its claws at the middle aged man, as if it was saying to him.
Can you not be so cowardly? I haven't made a move yet.
"Speak."
Duan Lingtian looked at the middle aged man and spoke indifferently.
"Yes, yes."
The middle aged man hurriedly nodded. "It was Zhao Yu who promised me many benefits and asked me to come kill you …."
"Kill me?"
Duan Lingtian's face sank, and his eyes emitted cold lights.
"Yes."
The middle aged man continued. "He asked me to deal with you, then seize your Spatial Ring …. He said that he didn't want anything else, and only wanted the cultivation method in your possession."
Duan Lingtian frowned.
At the beginning, he thought that Zhao Yu had only bribed this first level Void Prying Stage martial artist to kill him for the sake of taking revenge for his son.
But now it would seem that the matter wasn't as simple as he imagined.
"What cultivation method?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
The middle aged man didn't dare hesitate and hurriedly said. "It seems to be some Marrow Cleansing and Tendon Rebirth Scroll. No, it seems to be the Muscle Meridian Rebirth Scroll …."
"Muscle Meridian Rebirth Scroll?!"
Duan Lingtian's pupils constricted, and his heart shook greatly.
"How could that Zhao Yu possibly know of the Muscle Meridian Rebirth Scroll? Besides myself, logically speaking, only the Megrez Peak outer court elder, Zhao Lin, knows of this nonexistent cultivation method that I fabricated …. Right, Zhao Yu, Zhao Lin …. Both have the surname Zhao! Could it be that there's some relationship between them? "
Duan Lingtian's thoughts spun abruptly, and his fierce gaze descended onto the middle aged man as he said in a low voice. "Since that Zhao Yu asked you to help him do something, I presume you can be considered to be acquainted with him …. Do you know of Zhao Yu's background in the Seven Star Sword Sect?"
"I seem to have heard him mention that his cousin grandfather is a Guardian Elder of the Seven Star Sword Sect."
The middle aged man shivered when he noticed the frightening coldness that flickered on the spirit sword in the little gold mouse's hand, and he spoke of everything he knew.
"As expected!"
Duan Lingtian understood, completely understood.
So it turned out that Zhao Yu and Zhao Lin were cousins ….
"Perhaps, when Zhao Yu sent someone to the Seven Star Sword Sect to inquire about matters related to me, he precisely asked that person to go find Zhao Lin …. After that, Zhao Lin knew that I was in the Ancient City of Everlast, and he told Zhao Yu about me possessing the Muscle Meridian Rebirth Scroll! Zhao Yu also coveted the nonexistent 'Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing Manual' that I fabricated. "
It wasn't difficult for Duan Lingtian to guess all of this.
"Zhao Lin, Zhao Yu …. Since both of you want the Muscle Meridian Rebirth Scroll so much, then I'll give it to both of you!"
Duan Lingtian seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled into an evil smile.
When this evil smile entered into the middle aged man's eyes, it caused his face to go pale and he said in panic, "Young Master, I've told you everything I know …. Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
"Don't worry, I won't kill you …. So long as you help me do something, then the enmity between us will be written off!"
Duan Lingtian said indifferently.
"Thank you, Young Master, thank you, Young Master."
The middle aged man heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly nodded.
"Nearby, find a secluded place …. I have a use for it."
Duan Lingtian calmly swept the middle aged man with his gaze, then looked at the little gold mouse. "Little Gold, follow by his side …. If he dares act rashly, then kill him with a single strike of your sword!"
"Squeak squeak ~"
The little gold mouse hurriedly nodded, then transformed into a golden light that descended onto the middle aged man's shoulder.
The middle aged man's body stiffened. "I don't dare, I don't dare."
In next to no time, the middle aged man helped Duan Lingtian find a secluded inn.
Duan Lingtian sat down at the table in the room, then took out a blank and simple small book and a brush, then started to 'write at a rapid speed.'
The middle aged man stood at the side, not daring to move.
The little gold mouse lay on his shoulder and looked with interest at Duan Lingtian who was writing at a rapid speed.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian was precisely copying a set of cultivation methods.
In the first portion, Duan Lingtian casually found a set of cultivation methods that weren't bad from the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu, and copied the beginning.
After that, Duan Lingtian casually made it up.
In the blank space in the middle, he added 24 dazzling large words ….
If you want to practice the following steps, then you must first castrate yourself.
If you don't castrate yourself, then it's difficult to succeed.
Once you castrate yourself, you'll be reborn!
In the end, Duan Lingtian wrote five large words in flamboyant calligraphy on the cover of the simple small book.
Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing Scroll.
"The beginning of this set of cultivation methods can be considered to be exquisite, and is sufficient to attract anyone …. But, without the latter half, you'll be unable to comprehend the essence in the end. I want to see what kind of expression all of you will have when you see those 24 words after dispersing your cultivation and cultivating this set of cultivation methods and becoming enthralled by it. "
A wisp of an evil smile appeared on Duan Lingtian's face.
He believed that at that time, the expressions of the Zhao Clan would surely be extremely marvelous.
The ink Duan Lingtian used to write this set of Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing Scroll was a top-grade ancient ink, and when coupled with the simple small book, it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
"So long as they see the beginning, they'll surely be enthralled."
