"Gao Yuan greets Young Master!" Ling Dong took the cold jade wine jar and was about to return to his house to ask Bai Jiu 'er. However, he saw Gao Yuan rushing over when he was not far from the Feng Clan's mansion!
After not seeing him for a few days, Gao Yuan's figure seemed to have grown even more burly. Standing in front of Ling Dong, he gave off the feeling of a small mountain. His bulging muscles and tall stature gave off a feeling that this person was extremely powerful in close combat!
Ling Dong knew that this was because Gao Yuan had been continuously soaking in the blood medicine that was mainly made from the blood of the serpent dragon. He had absorbed the medicine's power and catalyzed the Mortal Tool Technique.
With just a glance, Ling Dong could tell that Gao Yuan was only one step away from the Earth Realm.
"Yes, what's the matter?" After Gao Yuan bowed, Ling Dong responded and asked as he walked. Since Gao Yuan came here to look for him, there should be something.
"Young Master, it's like this. Master Yuan of the Apothecary Manor sent someone to deliver a message. He said that once you return, you should find time to go to the Alchemy Monarch Palace," Gao Yuan replied.
"Master Yuan is looking for me? What could it be? " Ling Dong thought for a moment, then turned to Liu Yaoguang and said, "Yaoguang, go back to the residence and wait for me. Gao Yuan and I will go to the Apothecary Manor first! Oh, right, Yaoguang, you should pass down the instructions as soon as possible. This way, I can be at ease! "
What Ling Dong was talking about was the matter that Ling Dong mentioned to Liu Yaoguang when they were on the way to kill Xia Shaozhong. He wanted to send two Heavenly Dipper Realm experts under Liu Yaoguang to guard the Ling family for a period of time.
The safety of the clan was always the top priority in Ling Dong's heart, so he urged her again today.
Liu Yaoguang glared at Ling Dong indignantly and said sadly, "Husband, now that things have come to this, why are you still so polite to me? I've already said that those are your subordinates. You can use them as you wish. Why do you have to use the word 'request'? "
Liu Yaoguang's words left Ling Dong speechless. He could only smile apologetically.
"I won't hide it from my husband. On the second day after we returned from that night attack, I had already ordered the two grannies to rush to the Ling family in Nanshan County to protect you. At that time, my husband was still unconscious." When Liu Yaoguang said this, she looked extremely aggrieved. Ling Dong quickly comforted her.
Ling Dong also knew where the problem was because Liu Yaoguang's origins were too mysterious. No matter how close they were, Ling Dong always kept a layer of wariness. This was a habit of Ling Dong's from his previous life. That was why Liu Yaoguang felt distant.
"En, Yaoguang. Most Heaven Dipper Realm experts are arrogant. Your two grannies might be a little dissatisfied to be sent to such a remote place like Nanshan County. You have to remind them often. Don't mess up my important matters!" After comforting her, Ling Dao spoke with a commanding tone.
Hearing this, Liu Yaoguang's sadness turned into a smile. She glared at Ling Dong and said, "Don't worry, my husband. I will remind them from time to time!"
This glance was so seductive that even Gao Yuan, who was at the side, hurriedly lowered his head to avoid it.
"Gao Yuan, keep this Earth Spirit Fiend Condensation Pill. Take it when you soak in the blood medicine tomorrow. You can break through to the Earth Realm in one go!" Ling Dong wasn't worried about Gao Yuan breaking through to the Earth Realm.
The Mortal Tool Technique emphasized on refining one's body before cultivating one's skills. Breaking through to the Earth Realm was much easier than ordinary people. And because Gao Yuan was soaking in the blood medicine that contained the energy of the Heaven Dipper Realm snake blood, breaking through to the Earth Realm was even more natural. One Earth Spirit Fiend Condensation Pill was enough!
"Yes!" Gao Yuan didn't say much. He just accepted the pill that Ling Dong gave him without any questions. Even if Ling Dong had given him a poisonous pill, Gao Yuan would still take it according to Ling Dong's instructions without any hesitation!
In the East Grand Hall of the Alchemy Monarch Palace!
"Ling Dong greets Teacher!" In the Alchemy Monarch Palace, after Ling Dong greeted Yuan Chen, he took the opportunity to ask, "Teacher, did you look for me in a hurry today because of the Alchemy Competition in October?"
Ling Dong had guessed why Yuan Chen had looked for him. It was most likely because of the Alchemy Competition that would determine the right to use the Earth Fire Alchemy Palace for three years.
"That's right. Due to certain reasons, there have been some changes to the Alchemy Competition. It will have to be postponed! "Yuan Chen said slowly.
"Postponed?" While Ling Dong was slightly surprised, a thought flashed through his mind. In the next moment, Yuan Chen's words confirmed Ling Dong's thoughts.
"Yes, postponed! In the past, the Alchemy Competition that was held every five years would be held in the middle of October. This time, however, it has been postponed to the middle of January next year because one of the three Prefects, Yin Baiyue, has something important to attend to! "Yuan Chen said.
Although Ling Dong had guessed the reason, Ling Dong still asked, "Why is it postponed? Could it be that Yin Baiyue's Mansion Master Yin has some personal reasons? "
Ling Dong speculated that Yin Baiyue must be in a hurry to go to the Sky Reaching Secret Land after obtaining the formula for the Rejuvenation Pill. This was also the reason why Yin Baiyue wanted to postpone the Alchemy Competition.
"Sigh, it's not because of personal reasons! Yin Baiyue suddenly presented the formula for the Rejuvenation Pill to the Emperor and obtained the Emperor's imperial order. The postponement of the Alchemy Competition is also part of the Emperor's order. We have no choice but to comply! "Yuan Chen said.
"Presented the formula for the Rejuvenation Pill?" Ling Dong was slightly surprised. However, after thinking about it for a while, Ling Dong immediately understood Yin Baiyue's intention.
Although there was a shortcut to becoming an Elixir King in the Sky Reaching Secret Land, Yin Baiyue was not completely confident. Therefore, Yin Baiyue had prepared for both scenarios.
If he did not achieve his goal of becoming an Elixir King in the Sky Reaching Secret Land, then he would immediately return to the Elixir King Palace in Alkaid City to compete for the right to use the Earth Fire Elixir Palace for five years in order to obtain the opportunity to become an Elixir King.
"Yes, His Majesty summoned You Shansong and me to study the formula for the Rejuvenation Pill. It should be the real formula. However, it is hard to say whether it can prolong one's life. Since His Majesty believes it, we can only comply!" Yuan Chen said.
"All Emperors have the desire to live a long life. This is normal!" After replying, Ling Dong said, "Since the competition has been postponed, I have an important matter to attend to. I will be back in two months at the earliest and three or four months at the latest. I will be back in January of next year!"
Ling Dong had been thinking that the timing of the Sky Reaching Secret Land and the competition would conflict. However, Yin Baiyue had resolved this problem.
Since there was no conflict, Yuan Chen naturally had no reason to refuse. However, now that Ling Dong was here, Yuan Chen had no choice but to seize the opportunity to discuss Elixir Dao with Ling Dong and impart a few new formulas to him.
Yuan Chen was very helpless. In this world, it had always been the disciples who ran to their masters and cried for guidance. Unlike Yuan Chen and Ling Dong, this pair of master and disciple, who needed the master to find an opportunity to instill experience into his disciple.
As a master, it was rare for him to see his disciple even once in a few months.
After some guidance, Yuan Chen gave Ling Dong some commonly used elixir pills. After that, Ling Dong bade farewell to Yuan Chen and prepared to leave the Pill Monarch Palace!
When he arrived at the entrance of the Pill Monarch Palace, Ling Dong happened to see a group of people gathered there. The person in the middle of the group was undoubtedly Yin Baiyue.
With Ling Dong's cultivation, he could hear the voice clearly from afar. After listening carefully, Ling Dong understood that those people were Yin Baiyue's disciples. They were sending Yin Baiyue off, and it seemed like Yin Baiyue was about to go on a long journey.
"Could it be that Yin Baiyue is leaving now to participate in the grand event of the Sky Reaching Secret Land?" Ling Dong pondered for a moment and walked out of the palace without hesitation.
At this time, Yin Baiyue, who was warning his disciples, also noticed Ling Dong. As the saying goes, when enemies meet, their eyes turn red. When he saw Ling Dong coming over, Yin Baiyue's expression turned cold. His eagle-like eyes stared fixedly at Ling Dong without moving an inch!
On the contrary, Ling Dong was not as direct as Yin Baiyue. He even greeted him with a smile, "Ling Dong greets Palace Master Yin. Is Palace Master Yin going out?"
"Mind your own business!" One of Yin Baiyue's disciples scolded angrily when Yin Baiyue did not answer.
Ling Dong did not care about this. He cupped his fists at Yin Baiyue and said, "Ling wishes Palace Master Yin a smooth journey. I hope you don't fail miserably!"
The first sentence was pleasing to everyone's ears, but the second sentence made Yin Baiyue's disciples want to curse. However, Ling Dong did not give them the chance to do so. As soon as he finished his greetings, he laughed heartily and left!
No one noticed that as Ling Dong was laughing, a powerful Divine Soul fluctuation suddenly rose. Of course, Yin Baiyue and his disciples, who were not Heaven's Dipper Realm cultivators, could not sense this powerful Divine Soul fluctuation!
This powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation appeared in an instant and disappeared in an instant. Just as the Imperial Protector Martial Saint sensed it, the Spiritual Energy disappeared.
The moment the powerful Divine Soul fluctuation rose, Yin Baiyue's heart trembled violently. An extremely uncomfortable feeling welled up in his heart, but he did not know the reason for it!
Almost at the same time, Ling Dong, who was laughing heartily, suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground. However, Ling Dong's near-slip had infuriated the disciples of Yin Baiyue, who were pointing their fingers at Ling Dong and laughing out loud. Many of them were cursing him for what he had done!
Seeing this, Yin Baiyue's expression also relaxed. The extremely uncomfortable feeling seemed to have disappeared!
Ling Dong, who had recovered from his fall, had a bitter smile on his face. "The consumption of this Three Souls Branding Technique is truly enormous! It actually consumed a third of my Divine Soul power!
However, by using the Three Spirits Branding Technique on Yin Baiyue, I will be able to grasp his whereabouts for a period of time. If I can strengthen the technique again while it's still in effect, then Yin Baiyue's whereabouts will be completely under my control during the trip to the Heaven's Reach Mystic Realm! "
The Three Spirits Branding Technique was a very inconspicuous tracking technique recorded in the Three Spirits Imperial Soul Spell. It consumed a portion of one's Divine Soul power to leave a Divine Soul brand on the target. Within a month, as long as the Divine Soul brand was not discovered or removed by the target, Ling Dong would be able to grasp the target's whereabouts! Moreover, the range of detection was up to a thousand meters!
The reason Ling Dong staggered just now was because he had used all his Divine Soul power to perform the Three Spirits Branding Technique! This was also a sudden thought that came to Ling Dong after Ling Dong saw Yin Baiyue just now!
Hearing the disciples of Yin Baiyue scolding him for his retribution, Ling Dong's face was full of a sneer, "A bunch of idiots! You're still so happy after being tricked by me! "
