Looking at the small pile on the ground where the sword in his hand had turned into powder after using the Alkaid Powder, Ling Dong suddenly recalled the situation where the power of the Alkaid Powder fluctuated between strong and weak when he used it previously.
The first time Ling Dong used the Alkaid Powder, he used a mid-level Xiantian Realm sword. After using the Alkaid Powder, the sword turned into dust and instantly dismembered a Xiantian Realm Level Six warrior. Its power was shocking.
The second time he used the Alkaid Powder, Ling Dong used a low-grade Xiantian sword. After using it, he barely managed to kill a Xiantian Realm Level Four or Five warrior. The power was much weaker than before.
Because the sword would turn into powder after using the Alkaid Powder, Ling Dong would switch to a low-grade Xiantian weapon whenever he used the Alkaid Powder, and its power had always been mediocre.
Until today, as he was being pursued by a Disha Realm expert at the early stage of the Disha Realm, the situation was extremely urgent and he did not have the time to change the Silver Moon Sword in his hands. In his haste, Ling Dong used the Silver Moon Sword to perform the Heavenly Big Dipper Technique's sword technique, the Alkaid Scattering.
This Silvermoon Sword was an Earth Fiend Low Grade sword. Before Ling Dong had the time to feel heartache, the Alkaid Powder had already been used, and then, something shocking happened.
The Light Shaking Powder, which had originally only been able to block the purple-robed Abbot Jiao's attack with its blinding golden light, suddenly unleashed its full power and severely wounded the purple-robed Abbot Jiao in an instant. The purple-robed Abbot Jiao continuously coughed up blood, causing him to lose most of his ability to fight.
When Ling Dong recalled that the sword he had used to cast the Alkaid Powder was the exceptionally precious Inferior Grade Earth Emanations Silver Moon Sword, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and an answer appeared in his mind.
The power of the Alkaid Powder is related to the grade of the sword used to cast the Alkaid Powder. The higher the grade of the sword used to cast the Alkaid Powder, the greater the power.
For example, a mid-grade Xiantian weapon could tear a Xiantian Realm Level Six apart. However, a low-grade Xiantian weapon wouldn't be as effective against a Xiantian Realm Level Four or Five.
Today, Ling Dong had been in a hurry and hadn't swapped out the low-grade Earth Emanations Silver Moon Sword. Instead, he had used the Silver Moon Sword to execute the sword technique, Alkaid Scattering. While destroying the Silver Moon Sword, he had also severely injured the early-stage Earth Emanations purple-robed Prefect Jiao.
It was the same sword skill, and the power used was about the same. The only difference was that when using the Alkaid Powder, the grade of the sword used was different. The higher the grade of the sword, the greater the power of the Alkaid Powder.
This also indirectly explained why every time he used the Light Shaking Powder, the sword he used would be destroyed. According to Ling Dong's estimation, the Alkaid Powder sword technique should be able to draw on the Five Elements Gold Essence Qi within the sword to increase the power of the Alkaid Powder.
Among the five elements, gold was the main metal and also the main killing element. Swords that could be forged were usually made of rare metals. Most of the time, the rarity of the metals used would determine the grade of the sword to a certain extent.
The rarer the ore, the more pure the Five Elements Gold Essence Qi it contained. Correspondingly, the Alkaid Powder that could absorb the Five Elements Gold Essence Qi within the sword would be more powerful.
After thinking through all of this, Ling Dong's heart was suddenly enlightened. A feeling of complete mastery over the Alkaid Powder arose spontaneously. Ling Dong even had a hint of greed in his heart. If he had a Heaven-grade weapon, wouldn't he be able to severely injure a Heaven Star Border Realm powerhouse?
After thinking about it, Ling Dong still shook his head. Using a Heaven-grade weapon to execute the Alkaid Powder to severely injure a Heaven Star Border Realm powerhouse was just a thought. With Ling Dong's insignificant cultivation base at Xiantian Realm Level Three, it was hard to say if he would even have the chance to strike in front of a Heaven Star Border Realm powerhouse.
However, if he had an Earth Fiend weapon or a Heaven Star Border weapon, Ling Dong could still compete with a Earth Fiend Realm powerhouse with his current cultivation base.
The only thing Ling Dong considered was if he had the courage to use the Heaven Star Border weapon to execute the Alkaid Powder and turn the weapon into a pile of powder when he had it in his hands.
Didn't that mean that when Ling Dong had a few Earth Fiend weapons in his hands, would he be comparable to half a Earth Fiend Realm powerhouse and be able to do whatever he wanted?
"Young friend Ling Dong, as the Apothecary Residence's Master, I have to investigate this matter thoroughly. If you really barged into my Apothecary Residence and caused trouble and killed someone, I definitely won't let you off easily!" Master Yuan said after berating Master Jiao Xinglie of Flaming Cloud City's Apothecary Residence.
"You said that someone lured you into the Apothecary Residence to ambush you. What exactly happened? Tell me in detail!" Master Yuan asked.
Master Jiao Xinglie had already swallowed an elixir when he heard that. His face was very gloomy. On the other hand, his son Jiao Yu's eyes were flickering as if he was worried about something.
Ling Dong's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Qingyi Yuan Chen, as the Apothecary Residence's Master, had asked such a question was already biased towards Ling Dong. Asking Ling Dong to explain the matter clearly already had the intention of absolving Ling Dong of any wrongdoing.
"Lured me into an ambush? Forget it! Previously, I wanted to rent an Earth Fire Elixir Room in Flaming Cloud City's Apothecary Residence to refine elixirs. I didn't expect to meet that bastard Jiao Yu. He used the excuse of repaying a debt of gratitude to arrange a Heaven Fire Elixir Room for me and lured me into the Apothecary Residence. Then, he ordered the guards to surround and kill me. I had no choice but to act! "Ling Dong said.
"Repaying a debt of gratitude? Since it was to repay a debt of gratitude, why did Jiao Yu lure you into an ambush? "Yuan Chen asked with a frown. He was also a little confused about the relationship between the two.
When he thought of this, Ling Dong felt as if his insides were burning. He pointed at Jiao Yu and cursed with gritted teeth, "It was that ungrateful son of a bitch, Jiao Yu …"
Master Jiao's expression changed when he heard that. "Master Yuan, you're willing to listen to the words of someone who spouts such filthy words?"
Yuan Chen silently glanced at Ling Dong and said, "Little friend Ling Dong, there are some things that you shouldn't overstep."
"Hmph!" Ling Dong glared fiercely at Master Jiao. The latter's expression turned a little ugly. Ling Dong's earth-shattering attack that severely injured him had already frightened him a little. He didn't know that Ling Dong couldn't use that kind of attack anymore.
This was because Ling Dong didn't have any more Earth Fiend Low Grade weapons in his possession.
"A few days ago, I was cultivating on Mount Three Star while looking for the herbs needed to refine pills. Suddenly, I saw two groups of people fighting over a clump of about twenty stalks of Fiery Sun Grass. They were fighting over it when they got close. The side with fewer people had two people swiftly killed by the other side. Only a master and a servant were left. They suddenly ran to me.
When they saw me, the master and servant begged me to save them. Before I could respond, they took the initiative to give me a Earth Fiend Low Grade sword, also known as the Silver Moon Sword. They even promised to give me some mid-grade crystals … "
"You're talking nonsense!" Master Jiao's face turned pale when he heard Ling Dong mention this matter. He hastily interrupted Ling Dong.
Before Ling Dong could do anything, Master Yuan let out a cold cry. When his thunderous voice rang in Jiao Yu's ears, the latter was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
"Master Yuan!" Jiao Xinglie protested when he saw that his son was frightened. His eyes were filled with hatred. He really couldn't understand why Master Yuan of the Apothecary Manor would side with this strange outsider even if he was the trusted aide of another Master Yuan.
Yuan Chen didn't care at all. He said indifferently, "When it's time for him to speak, he will naturally speak. Ling Dong, continue! "
"I haven't even said who the master and servant are. How did you know? You're guilty! "Ling Dong continued after his words made Jiao Yu's face turn green and pale.
"After that, I made another request for the Fiery Sun Grass. He didn't agree to it! Thus, I used all my skills to kill the five Xiantian Realm Level Five and Six martial artists who were chasing after them to save the master and servant … "
"Wait, you're only at Xiantian Realm Level Three. How could you kill five Xiantian Realm Level Five and Six martial artists?" Master Jiao asked with a gloomy face.
"How is that possible? Master Jiao should have experienced it yourself, right? If I could injure you, Master Jiao, who is at the early stage of the Earth Emanations Realm, how could I possibly kill five mid-stage Xiantian martial artists? Do you want to experience it again? "Ling Dong said with disdain.
If it weren't for the Alkaid Powder, Ling Dong wouldn't have been able to pretend to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. But now, with such strong evidence in front of him, he had to believe it even if he didn't want to!
"You …" Jiao Xinglie was rendered speechless by Ling Dong's retort. His face turned purple and he could only curse himself for his stupidity. Why did he ask to be humiliated?
"After saving the master and servant, I naturally had to ask for a reward. However, that young master actually went back on his word and didn't want to pay me!"
"Reneging on his words and biting the hand that feeds him. He deserves to die!" Master Yuan said with hatred.
"That's right. Originally, I wanted to kill that reneging on his words. However, that servant of his was unusually loyal and kept kowtowing. He said that his young master was young and inexperienced and begged me to let him go. I'm also a young man. Naturally, I know that young people are frivolous. Therefore, I was moved by compassion and let him go!
Who would have thought that he would run into me in Flaming Cloud City today. He actually tried to lure me into an ambush and even said that I was a thief who stole his treasures. How could I not be angry? How could I not chop off his dog head! "Ling Dong yelled.
On the contrary, Yuan Chen didn't make a conclusion immediately. Instead, he asked Jiao Yu to repeat the incident again to show fairness.
When Jiao Yu talked about this matter, he did his best to smear Ling Dong's name. He said that Ling Dong was greedy and wanted to rob him of the medicinal herbs he found. Then, he took his Silver Moon Sword and asked for his belongings. They were only able to survive because they were willing to compromise. Now that they saw Ling Dong, they naturally wanted to lure him in for revenge.
"Hmph, do you think I'm as stupid as you? After robbing all of your belongings, why wouldn't I kill you and let you live? "Ling Dong sneered.
Now that things had come to this, Ling Dong suddenly had the urge to leave. There was no point in continuing this war of words. It would be better for him to find an opportunity to kill this guy.
"Both of you have your own version of events. It's hard to judge!" Yuan Chen said with a frown. From his expression, it seemed like Ling Dong wasn't lying. However, judging from this, Yuan Chen wasn't convinced. Yuan Chen was having a headache.
Just as Ling Dong was thinking of how to leave, Prefect Jiao suddenly spoke, "The survivors have a loyal servant, Zhou Jin. If we ask him, we will know that this bastard is lying! What do you think, Prefect Yuan? "
When he said this, Jiao Yu's expression changed. However, Ling Dong's expression became a little strange.
"Alright!" Prefect Yuan said.
