After leaving the Flying Rainbow Sect, Duan Lingtian didn't return to the Crimson Sky Kingdom nor did he return to the Seven Star Sword Sect, and he instead headed all the way to the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial City.
With Duan Lingtian's speed, he didn't spend much time to arrive at the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial City.
When he arrived at the Imperial City, he went straight to the Blacksmith Guild headquarters and found Luo Rong.
Luo Rong, the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Weapons Craftsmen Guild's Guild Master, and at the same time, he was the grandfather of Crazy Young Master, Luo Zhan, who was the head of the five great young masters of the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom.
He could be considered to be an old acquaintance of Duan Lingtian in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial City.
"Master, you're back?"
After two years, seeing Duan Lingtian again, Luo Rong still maintained the respect he had for Duan Lingtian.
This respect was due to the fact that Duan Lingtian had taught him the Dao of Weapon Refinement, and he would never forget it.
"Help me find some materials."
Duan Lingtian went straight to the point.
Amongst all the people he knew in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, the old man before him was undoubtedly the one with the widest connections.
"Grandmaster, please go ahead."
Luo Rong replied respectfully.
Duan Ling Tian nodded, and then he spoke of some materials. They were all materials that were relatively rare.
Of course, even though these materials were rare, they couldn't be considered to be precious, and they could be completely gathered in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial City.
Otherwise, Duan Lingtian would not have come to Luo Rong.
"I'll give the order now."
Luo Rong notified Duan Lingtian before leaving, and he only returned half an hour later. "Master, I've already issued a reward assignment for those materials in our Weapons Craftsmen Guild's main guild … Besides that, I asked someone to enter the Imperial Palace to communicate with the members of the Imperial Family. The materials collected by the Imperial Family are the most complete in the entire Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom. I should be able to gather them in three days at most. "
"Yes, sorry to trouble you."
Duan Lingtian nodded and immediately asked, "By the way, is Luo Zhan back?"
"No."
Luo Rong shook his head, and then he said slowly, "That child has been eager to excel since he was young. It was fine when he was publicly acknowledged as the most outstanding young genius in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, and he didn't feel any pressure … Two years ago, your appearance and the pressure that the Saber Young Master gave him after that undoubtedly caused him to suffer a great blow, and that's why he decided to go out to gain experience and tempering. However, it's good to go out and gain experience. It can grind away his sharpness and make him more mature. "
When he spoke up to here, Luo Rong paused for a moment. "Master, I heard you advanced in the Young Genius Competition of the Darkstone Empire and obtained the opportunity to participate in the Darkhan Dynasty's Martial Competition … I wonder if you advanced in the Darkhan Dynasty's Martial Competition as well?"
Duan Lingtian smiled and nodded.
"As expected."
Luo Rong nodded and didn't seem to be surprised. This made Duan Lingtian somewhat puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask, "You … aren't surprised?"
"If this happened to someone else, like that grandson of mine, then perhaps I would be surprised … But when it happened to you, Master, I instead feel that it couldn't be any more normal."
Luo Rong spoke out the thoughts in his heart, causing Duan Lingtian to be speechless and not know how to reply.
He couldn't possibly say thank you for the praise, right?
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian temporarily stayed in the Alchemist Guild's headquarters under Luo Rong's arrangement, and he waited for the materials to arrive.
The materials that Duan Lingtian asked Luo Rong to search for were materials required for inscriptions, and they were materials that Duan Lingtian intended to use to construct the Inscription Formation.
"Constructing an Inscription Formation for the first time really causes me to be slightly excited … But with the memories of Emperor Wu of Samsara, there isn't the slightest pressure."
Duan Lingtian sat silently in his room as he looked at the pile of materials on the table before him, and a wisp of a rosy red appeared on his face, a rosy red of excitement.
With a raise of his hand, numerous low grade Origin Stones were withdrawn by Duan Lingtian. "Origin Stones aren't a problem … I only hope that those materials can be gathered. In that way, I'll be able to successfully extract all the Spirit Points in the former Demonic Lotusblade Sect, Origin Convergence Sect, and Snow Moon Sect and move them to the Seven Star Sword Sect."
Extracting was different from extracting.
Extracting the Origin Energy that had been accumulated in the Spirit Points for many years only required an Origin Drawing Pearl to accomplish it. Moreover, it was easy and simple, and it was simply a laborious task that didn't require brain power, and anyone could do it.
On the other hand, extracting Spirit Points was instead a technical task that consumed an extremely large amount of brain power and heart power, and it required the combination of special Inscription Formations to accomplish it.
If there was really a difference.
The former only extracted the spirit energy of heaven and earth that had been accumulated in the Spirit Points for many years, and after it was extracted, the Spirit Points would once again accumulate spirit energy after a period of time, whereas, the spirit energy that was extracted would be gone once it was used.
The latter instead uprooted the Spirit Points, and no matter if it was the spirit energy accumulated in the Spirit Points or the Spirit Points themselves, they would all be directly extracted.
What Duan Lingtian wanted to do was the latter.
He wanted to utilize the Inscription Formations he possessed to uproot the Spirit Points in the former three great sects and move them all to the seven great sword peaks of the Seven Star Sword Sect.
At that time, besides the nine Spirit Points that had temporarily lost their spirit energy, the Seven Star Sword Sect would have another 20 plus Spirit Points.
"Perhaps I can consider extracting the Spirit Points of the Mountain Split Sect as well … At any rate, the Mountain Split Sect has been annihilated by the Azure Forest Tri-Sect, and keeping the Spirit Points is a waste."
Duan Lingtian's expression went serious, and he had a righteous appearance as he muttered to himself.
Even though the materials weren't gathered now, it didn't affect Duan Lingtian from starting to inscribe inscriptions. The inscriptions he wanted to inscribe now were the inscriptions required to construct the Inscription Formation.
These inscriptions didn't rely on his Origin Energy to be activated, and they relied on Origin Stones to be activated instead. Only in this way would he be able to maintain the tireless circulation of the Inscription Formation.
He couldn't be using his Origin Energy to activate the Inscription Formation at all times, right?
On the other hand, besides some special requirements, practically all the Inscription Formations constructed by formidable Inscription Masters in the Foreign Lands used Origin Stones to activate and circulate them.
After Duan Lingtian's cultivation broke through to the ninth level of the Void Initiation Stage, his Spiritual Force had increased to the second level of the Void Interpretation Stage along with it, and inscribing the inscriptions he required now practically didn't consume any Spiritual Force.
So after going without sleep for three days and two nights, Duan Lingtian didn't feel the slightest trace of exhaustion, and he was still brimming with energy.
On the night of the third day, Luo Rong knocked on Duan Lingtian's door and delivered the last pile of materials Duan Lingtian required. "Master, the materials are all here."
"I'll be troubling you."
Duan Lingtian nodded to express his gratitude to Luo Rong.
"Master, you're too courteous. Even if my body is shattered, it would be difficult for me to repay the great kindness you've given me, let alone such a small matter."
Luo Rong spoke, and then he sensibly took a step back. "Master, then I won't disturb your rest."
After Luo Rong left, he closed the door behind him.
Duan Lingtian's gaze flashed as he looked at the door that was closed. At this moment, he even had the thought of refining a grade three spirit weapon to give to Luo Rong as a form of thanks.
But with a quick thought, if he gave a grade three spirit weapon to Luo Rong, it would seem that it would only harm Luo Rong.
Not to mention the desire of the various experts of the Darkhan Dynasty towards a grade three spirit weapon, even if Luo Rong hid the grade three spirit weapon tightly, as a weapons craftsman, would he not take it out to study?
With Luo Rong's current attainments in the Dao of Inscriptions, forcefully studying a grade three spirit weapon would only bring more harm than benefit.
So, Duan Lingtian intended to properly repay Luo Rong in the future.
"The important matter at hand is to finish those inscriptions first."
Duan Lingtian returned to his senses and continued inscribing the inscriptions.
Half a month of time passed in the blink of an eye.
During these past few days, besides occasionally going out to eat with Luo Rong, Duan Lingtian practically locked himself in his room, and half a month later, he'd finally finished inscribing the required inscriptions.
"I ought to leave."
Duan Lingtian found Luo Rong and bluntly bid his farewells.
"Master, no matter what happens in the future, feel free to instruct Luo Rong, and Luo Rong will surely do my best to help Master."
Luo Rong spoke with a sincere expression.
"Thank you."
After Duan Lingtian nodded and expressed his gratitude, he left the Alchemist Guild's Main Guild. After inquiring about the location of the former Origin Convergence Sect and Snow Moon Sect in the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial City, Duan Lingtian left the Imperial City.
After leaving the Imperial City, Duan Lingtian headed north all the way, and he quickly entered a world of ice and snow. According to the information he'd inquired about earlier, this was the former Snow Moon Sect's base.
But the current Snow Moon Sect's base was deserted and desolate, and Duan Lingtian didn't notice a single living person after walking around for a long time.
"Looks like Elder Peng really made them afraid that day … Besides the former Demonic Lotusblade Sect's base, the Demonic Lotusblade Gorge, I reckon not only the former Snow Moon Sect's base is empty, even the former Origin Convergence Sect's base is empty."
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian calmed his feelings and started searching for the location of Spirit Points in the former Snow Moon Sect's base.
Because the spirit energy of the heaven and earth within the Spirit Points here wasn't extracted by the Origin Drawing Pearl, so Duan Lingtian quickly noticed the location of the Spirit Points.
"Only six?"
After going around the former Snow Moon Sect's base and searching carefully, Duan Lingtian only noticed six Spirit Points.
Since he'd noticed the Spirit Points, Duan Lingtian started working.
Firstly, he withdrew the Inscriptions that were inscribed on the numerous low grade Origin Stones with various materials. Actually, he was only withdrawing the low grade Origin Stones that had Inscriptions inscribed on them.
Duan Lingtian stood at the aperture of one of the Spirit Points, and numerous low grade Origin Stones shot out from his hand to be placed in an extremely orderly manner at the aperture of the aperture.
Gradually, they formed into a triangle, and the numerous low grade Origin Stones were tightly connected together to the point they couldn't be separated.
Clang!
Along with the last low grade Origin Stone shooting out and fusing with the numerous low grade Origin Stones that formed the triangle, all the low grade Origin Stones that formed the triangle started to flicker with strands of milky white sheen.
In next to no time, strands of milky white sheen spread out before converging together in the end to form a triangular milky white circle of light.
"I've succeeded."
