Three days later, Heaven Luo Mountain.
In the enormous Dragon Blood Stone mine, hundreds of miners carried huge rocks weighing tens of thousands of kilograms on their shoulders. Although they were drenched in sweat, their faces were brimming with excitement and joy.
This was the last batch of Dragon Blood Stones. Nie Tian had ordered that all miners, after finishing today's work, would receive an extra ten thousand low-grade Origin Crystals.
These miners were mostly Manifestation Realm martial practitioners. They were all invited by the Dayuan Chamber of Commerce. They had already been paid handsomely, and Nie Tian was just giving them another surprise.
In any case, during this period of time, Nie Tian had already earned a fortune just from the city entrance fees and martial gathering registration fees. A few hundred miners and a few million low-grade Origin Crystals were nothing to him.
The main reason was that Nie Tian was very happy today. The excavation of the Dragon Blood Stone mine was completed faster than he had expected. This also meant that he could refine half of the dragon blood in his hands into pure 'dragon blood' ahead of time.
Half of the Dragon Blood Stones, after careful refinement by a third rank alchemist, could be refined into over six hundred drops of 'dragon blood'. Ruoyu Qianye could rely on this' dragon blood 'to ensure that she would not be tormented by the power of blood devouring for two months.
As for the remaining half of the Dragon Blood Stones, they would be directly transported to the Alchemist Guild in Dan Wu City. That was an absolutely safe place, and no force would dare to trespass.
"Brother Nie, are you going to participate in the Dragon Blood Martial Gathering?" Gu Yi stood beside Nie Tian. The latter's goatee curled up as he asked with a smile.
Nie Tian naturally knew why the latter was happy. Because yesterday, Gu Yi had comprehended a trace of true pill dao from the ninth rank pill recipe Nie Tian had given him. His mental power, which had been stagnant for a long time, had increased by another level, reaching the sixty-third rank.
It was very difficult to increase one's mental power. Not only was it closely related to talent, it was also sometimes dependent on luck. When one's mental power reached the later stages, every increase in rank was like climbing a stairway to heaven.
Gu Yi's mental power had been stagnant at the sixty-second rank for two years. Of course he was happy to have a sudden breakthrough.
He knew that Nie Tian urgently needed Dragon Blood Stones, and it seemed to be related to a girl called Ruoyu Qianye in the City Lord's Mansion. Therefore, he guessed that Nie Tian would also participate in the Dragon Blood Martial Gathering.
"Yes." Nie Tian nodded. Glancing at Tong Fu beside Gu Yi, he said, "I hope we won't meet Ah Fu."
Tong Fu had just finished his closed-door training and was now a True Element 1st Layer martial artist.
Nie Tian estimated that with Tong Fu's current strength, coupled with his Rank 8 Legendary Grade True Spirit Destruction Hammer, even if he encountered a 2nd or even 3rd Stage True Essence Stage martial artist, he would be able to easily defeat his opponent.
"Don't worry, Mr. Nie. If I meet you, I'll definitely show mercy." Tong Fu chuckled and said proudly.
Gu Yi's expression sank as he knocked Tong Fu and said, "Stinking brat, what nonsense are you spouting. What do you mean by mercy? You should just admit defeat. "
"Uh …" Tong Fu hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, "Then just admit defeat."
Nie Tian smiled faintly and did not say anything.
Gu Yi glanced at Tong Fu, and said in his heart: "Smelly brat, Big Brother is doing this for your own good. Do you think you can beat Nie Tian just because you've advanced to the True Element Boundary? Dream on! "
Gu Yi had seen Nie Tian kill Luo Fen with his own eyes. Although he did not see how Nie Tian had defeated Luo Fen, he had seen with his own eyes that Nie Tian had withstood the combined attack of two True Essence Stage martial artists.
Also, when Nie Tian had revealed the red giant beast spirit that day, that tyrannical and domineering king's aura, when he thought about it now, his heart surged.
Therefore, Gu Yi believed that even if Tong Fu and Nie Tian were to fight, he would definitely lose.
At this time, Nie Tian noticed that Ding Yifan's expression was slightly awkward, and said with a smile: "Young Master Ding, you will also be participating in the Dragon Blood Martial Meet."
Ding Yifan's face turned red, and he replied: "I'm just joining in the fun."
Originally, Ding Yifan was full of confidence, thinking that he would be able to obtain a good ranking in the Dragon Blood Martial Meet. But now that experts like Nie Tian and Tong Fu would be participating, and recently, many geniuses from the other three domains had appeared in Heaven Luo City and Dan Wu City, and even people from Xu Mi Spirit Capital had appeared. His thoughts of obtaining a good ranking had basically been strangled in the cradle.
Right now, his mentality was still fine. Participating casually, he would just treat it as a way to verify his own strength.
Ding Yifan suddenly recalled that just over a month ago, when Nie Tian had just arrived at Heaven Luo City, the two had met for the first time at Heaven Luo Mountain.
That was right, Nie Tian only had the strength of a Wanxiang Third Tier, and Ding Yifan did not even have the desire to look him in the eye.
Now, in a short period of time, Nie Tian had already reached the Giant Spirit First Tier, and Ding Yifan was also at the Giant Spirit First Tier.
But Nie Tian's battle prowess far surpassed his. Thinking back to the scene of Nie Tian defeating Gu Qiu Lin with a single sword strike three days ago, Ding Yifan still felt that it was inconceivable.
Life was really interesting, times had changed.
Now, it was Nie Tian's turn to not have the desire to look Ding Yifan in the eye.
Nie Tian saw that Ding Yifan was somewhat dejected and said seriously, "The path of the martial path is to defy the heavens. Just like climbing the ladder to heaven, some walk fast, some walk slow. But as long as the heart of the martial path is firm, you will definitely be able to climb to the top of the ladder to heaven."
These words had the meaning of teaching people. If it were said by other youths or martial artists of the same age, it would definitely arouse Ding Yifan's disgust. But coming from Nie Tian's mouth, Ding Yifan felt abnormally gratified, nodding heavily in agitation.
Nie Tian nodded lightly.
On the path of the martial path, the heart of the martial path could not tolerate the slightest grain of sand. If the heart was not firm, how could one walk far?
Gu Yi also nodded endlessly. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Old Brother Nie, is Heaven Luo City still peaceful these few days? Diao Zhengde that old thing didn't find trouble with you, right? "
Nie Tian smiled faintly and said, "Currently, there are no movements."
Gu Yi had a strange look on his face as he frowned and said, "This isn't Diao Zhengde's character. That old thing will definitely seek revenge for the smallest grievance. You tortured and killed his precious illegitimate child in front of everyone, he will definitely crazily seek revenge. Could it be that because he has too many illegitimate children, he momentarily forgot about it?"
Gu Yi knew that Diao Zhengde was dissolute by nature and left seeds everywhere. In recent years, he had only slightly restrained himself. Luo Fen was merely one of his many illegitimate children.
"Huh?" At this time, Nie Tian's brows suddenly tightened and he immediately shouted, "Be careful!"
* Swish! * Before his voice had faded, a cold and sharp sword Qi whistled past, actually brushing past Nie Tian's face.
Luckily, Nie Tian reacted in time. But even so, a trace of blood still appeared on his face.
"Who is it?" Nie Tian roared angrily and turned around abruptly. He saw a black-clothed figure standing a hundred meters away, like a sharp sword, not moving an inch.
The black-clothed figure's austere eyes stared at Nie Tian from afar. A cold killing intent actually spread out a hundred meters away, enveloping Nie Tian.
Sensing the other party's cold killing intent, Nie Tian could not help but furrow his brows, feeling astonished in his heart. "There are Elixir Martial Forbidden Guards lying in ambush within a thousand meters. This person could actually approach within a hundred meters of the dragon bloodstone vein without anyone noticing. Even before he made a move, I did not detect his presence. This kind of concealment method is truly brilliant!"
At this moment, Nie Tian had already determined in his heart that the black-clothed figure before him was definitely an assassin.
