In the spacious courtyard.
The old man stood at the side with a gloomy expression.
"Grandfather, what's wrong?"
A youth in fluttering white clothes walked out of the room.
"That Duan Lingtian seems to be related to the Alchemist Guild's Guild Master, Su Mo …"
The old man frowned as he slowly spoke.
"How is that possible? He's only a branch family disciple, and a disciple with a different surname. How could he be related to the Alchemist Guild?"
Li Qing kept shaking his head. He wasn't willing to believe it.
"These past few days, Su Mo has been looking for Duan Lingtian at noon every day. I wonder why."
Li Tai was slightly fearful.
Although he was the Li Clan's Grand Elder, in front of Su Mo, he was nothing.
Not to mention that Su Mo's strength was stronger than his.
Just based on Su Mo's status as a Grade Eight Alchemist, if Su Mo wanted to deal with him, he didn't even need to make a move himself. He only needed to say a word, and a group of people would rush forward to kill him, just to sell a favor to Su Mo.
This was the influence of a Grade Eight Alchemist.
"Grandfather, could it be that the enmity of my finger is just going to be forgotten? I'm not willing! "
Li Qing's expression was gloomy, and his breathing became hurried.
"Qing, you can be at ease. Grandfather will definitely avenge you … Now, since Su Mo is related to Duan Lingtian, I'll stay out of it and let others deal with him."
A cold smile appeared on Li Tai's face.
"Grandfather, what do you mean?"
Li Qing was puzzled.
"Money makes the world go round."
Li Tai's brows raised.
"Grandfather, what you mean is, look for Ghastly Shadow?"
Li Qing's eyes lit up.
Ghastly Shadow, the top assassin organization of the Crimson Sky Kingdom, rose up 20 years ago and swept through the Crimson Sky Kingdom like a hurricane.
As long as it was a mission accepted by Ghastly Shadow, the success rate was 100%.
Of course, this was also closely related to Ghastly Shadow's rules.
If you want to issue a mission, you have to first pay a deposit and say the target.
Three days later, you have to confirm.
See if Ghastly Shadow is willing to accept this mission.
If not, you have to return the deposit.
If you are willing, you have to pay the rest of the mission fee.
Phantom only accepted missions that he was confident in.
In Li Qing's opinion, how powerful were the assassins of the Ghost Shadow Organization? Wouldn't it be easy to kill Duan Lingtian?
Late at night.
A tall figure flew out of the Li family mansion.
Soon, this person arrived in front of an old building in a remote area of Aurora City and walked in.
The hall was spacious, and the lights were dim.
Behind the counter, a young man with a slightly pale face stood there. Noticing the commotion, he raised his head and looked at the newcomer with a cold gaze.
"I will issue a mission. Li Family, Duan Lingtian! This is the deposit. "
The person was very straightforward. He took out a stack of banknotes and slapped it on the counter. Then, he turned around and left.
"Li Clan, Duan Lingtian."
The young man buried himself in the registration.
Early morning.
As the dawn illuminated the earth, Duan Ling Tian walked out of his room and stretched.
It was a new day!
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian glanced over and noticed that two young girls were happily chatting in the courtyard.
"Little Fei, you came over so early. Did you miss me?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he greedily sized up the young girl's hot and devilish figure …
"I'm not here to find you. I'm here to find little sister Kerr."
Li Fei glared at Duan Lingtian and said unhappily.
Duan Lingtian didn't mind. He ate his breakfast while eavesdropping on the conversation between the two girls.
In the end, he found that the two girls were talking about interesting things from their childhood.
After finishing breakfast, Duan Lingtian left the Li family mansion alone.
Su Mo had brought him good news yesterday. Of the five rare materials needed for the Blood Crescent Inscription, the remaining two would arrive in Aurora City in two days.
Therefore, he started to prepare the other materials.
A total of eleven materials were needed to inscribe the Blood Crescent Inscription.
The other six materials were relatively common.
Arriving at the huge trade market of Aurora City, Duan Lingtian walked into the medicine store that sold the Six Treasures Body Tempering Liquid.
Among the six materials, three of them were relatively common.
"Shopkeeper!"
As soon as he entered, Duan Lingtian greeted the shopkeeper.
Soon, under Duan Lingtian's puzzled gaze, the shopkeeper welcomed him into a small room in the medicine store.
"Shopkeeper, what are you doing?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled.
"Someone wants your life."
The shopkeeper's gaze constricted as he spoke bluntly.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian's pupils constricted.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian even had the misconception that the shopkeeper's temperament had changed.
If it was said that the shopkeeper in the past was only a pure unscrupulous merchant.
The current shopkeeper faintly revealed a profound and unfathomable aura.
It seemed that his previous guess was correct. This medicine store's shopkeeper wasn't simple.
"The Li Clan's Grand Elder, Li Tai, issued a mission at Ghastly Shadow last night, and the target is you."
The shopkeeper spoke bluntly.
Ghastly Shadow?
Duan Lingtian's gaze constricted.
He had heard of this famous assassin organization in the Crimson Sky Kingdom.
"You're a member of Ghastly Shadow?"
Duan Lingtian suddenly laughed.
"Exactly … During the day, I'm the shopkeeper of this medicine store, and at night, I'm the person in charge of Ghastly Shadow in Aurora City."
The shopkeeper slowly nodded.
"Shopkeeper, what you're doing seems to be against the rules for Ghastly Shadow, right?"
Duan Lingtian's gaze slightly moved.
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. I don't want my business partner to be killed because of some people and ruin my road to riches for nothing. "
The shopkeeper was very straightforward.
As far as he was concerned, the money Li Tai used to hire assassins wasn't even enough to cover a fraction of the benefits Duan Lingtian's Six Treasures Body Tempering Liquid would bring him.
He naturally knew what was more important and what was more important.
"Then what you mean now is to refuse his mission?"
Duan Lingtian asked.
"Of course."
The shopkeeper nodded.
"If I issue a mission to you now that targets this Li Tai, would your Ghastly Shadow accept?"
Duan Lingtian asked again.
"Of course, Ghastly Shadow only recognizes money and not people … However, the price of the Li Clan's Grand Elder is extremely expensive."
The shopkeeper said.
"How much?"
"1,000,000 silver!"
"So expensive?!"
"Of course, Li Tai is the Li Clan's Grand Elder after all, an existence at the eighth level of the Origin Core Stage … If you really want to issue this mission, then seeing that we're business partners, I can give you a 20% discount."
"20% discount? 20% discount is still 800,000 silver. You Ghastly Shadow are too greedy. "
"You can owe me, but I won't charge you interest and deduct it from the profits of the Six Treasures Body Tempering Liquid."
"Forget it, I can't bear to part with 800,000 silver … I'll do it myself."
"You?"
"What? You doubt me?"
"A little."
"How about this, I don't need your Ghastly Shadow to kill him, just do me a small favor …"
After obtaining the shopkeeper's agreement and buying the required medicinal materials, Duan Lingtian left the medicine store in satisfaction.
800,000 silver …
Killing Li Tai.
To Duan Lingtian, it wasn't worth it.
However, Li Tai actually issued a mission to kill him in Ghastly Shadow.
Duan Lingtian's eyes flashed with a cold light.
After buying the remaining materials, Duan Lingtian returned home.
Su Mo didn't come this afternoon.
Duan Lingtian had taught him everything he could.
The rest could only rely on himself to comprehend.
Three days later.
Late at night, Ghastly Shadow's stronghold in Aurora City.
"How's the confirmation of the mission I issued three days ago? Killing a first level Core Formation martial artist like him, 100,000 silver should be enough, right? "
Li Tai looked at the young man behind the counter and asked.
"100,000 silver? Customer, are you joking? "
A cold light flashed within the eyes of the pale-faced young man, causing others to tremble with fear.
"What?"
Li Tai's heart jerked as he had a bad premonition.
"According to the information Ghastly Shadow obtained, this Duan Lingtian is the young genius ranked number one on the Aurora City's Hidden Dragon List … Just this point alone, we'll have to charge you at least 300,000 silver."
The young man slowly said.
"300,000 silver? Sure. "
Li Tai clenched his teeth. Although it was slightly painful, he still agreed.
"Customer, I haven't finished speaking."
The young man frowned.
"What else do you want to say?"
Li Tai was puzzled.
"Besides that, we also found out that this Duan Ling Tian is extremely close to the Alchemist Guild's Guild Master, Su Mo …. Su Mo is a member of the Alchemist Guild, so killing someone who has a close relationship with him is extremely risky for us. So, in summary, our Ghastly Shadow wants 1,000,000 silver for this Duan Lingtian. "
The young man continued.
"1,000,000 silver?"
Li Tai was dumbstruck.
Although when the young man mentioned Su Mo, he already guessed that this mission couldn't be completed, he never imagined that the Ghastly Shadow would set the price of Duan Lingtian at 1,000,000 silver.
Not to mention that he didn't have so much silver on him.
Even if he did, he wouldn't be willing to part with it.
It was only a kid at the first level of the Core Formation Stage. Even if his strength was slightly strange, it was only comparable to a kid at the third level of the Core Formation Stage.
To him, killing a kid like this was as easy as cutting grass.
"Customer, may I ask if you still want to issue this mission?"
The young man looked at Li Tai and asked.
"No, return the deposit to me."
Li Tai hurriedly shook his head.
What a joke!
1,000,000 silver …
With so much money, he could issue a mission to kill an Origin Core martial artist in Ghastly Shadow.
After Li Tai left.
A middle-aged man slowly walked out from the inner room.
"Manager."
The young man hurriedly bowed to the person who came.
If Duan Lingtian was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this middle-aged man was the manager of the medicine store.
"I'm curious how he killed Li Tai …"
The middle-aged man's heart jerked and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Li family estate.
"Grandfather, how was it?"
When Li Qing saw Li Tai return, he hurriedly asked.
He knew what Li Tai went out to do, so he had been waiting at home for the results.
"I canceled the mission."
Li Tai shook his head.
"Hmm?"
Li Qing was stupefied. "Grandfather, why?"
"Hmph! That Ghastly Shadow actually offered a price of 1,000,000 silver. "
Li Tai's face sank.
"What?! It's only a kid at the Core Formation stage, 1,000,000 silver, are they robbing money? "
Li Qing had a face full of disbelief.
"They found out about the relationship between Duan Lingtian and Su Mo, so they were afraid and offered such a high price … Qing, don't worry, even if Ghastly Shadow doesn't accept this mission, grandfather won't let that Duan Lingtian live."
Li Tai guaranteed to Li Qing.
"Thank you, grandfather."
Li Qing said excitedly.
