Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In their eyes, the Lu Clanâs people were like ants. It was not difficult to kill them at all.
However, these people represented the entire Lu Clan. Killing all of them was equivalent to annihilating the Lu Clan.
At that time, the Inner Landâs first-rate forces that had once sworn they would protect the Lu Clan would descend upon them with vengeance. Even if the first-rate forces could not annihilate the forces they belonged to, they themselves would not be able to escape death.
After all, they were the instigators of this event.
"Donât touch the Lu Clanâs people. Donât touch Lu Rui as well! Kill that four old men, and nobody in the Lu Clan will be able to stop us anymore! At that time, itâll be easy for us to take Duan Ling Tian away!" Cheng He told the other four.
Initially, his face had a grave expression. However, by the time he reached the end of his sentence, his eyes were gleaming coldly as though he was about to devour someone.
Upon hearing Cheng Heâs words, all four of them nodded their heads in agreement.
The price they would have to pay if they had to annihilate the Lu Clan was too high. It was acceptable for them to kill a few Martial Monarchs in the Lu Clan as long as they did not touch the foundation of the Lu Clan.
"Leng Chi, you deal with Lu Qiu," Cheng He ordered Leng Chi.
"Alright." Leng Chi nodded nonchalantly. His cold eyes were staring fixedly at Lu Qiu.
"Ou Lie, youâll handle the other three old men from the Lu Clan. Is that okay?" Cheng He looked at Ou Lie. He wanted him to deal with the Lu Clanâs three Guardian Elders.
"Theyâll definitely die in the span of three breaths!" Ou Lieâs reply was curt. However, it was filled with confidence and certainty.
"As for Mo Jie and I, weâll be responsible for blocking Lu Rui and the rest of the Lu Clan. Elder Chen, Duan Ling Tianâs womanâs strength is quite powerful. Subdue her, but donât kill her! Sheâs still of use to us!" Cheng He looked at the blue-clad old man who followed Mo Jie like a shadow.
The blue-clad old man nodded.
"Ou Lie, after you kill the three old men from the Lu Clan, youâll join forces with Leng Chi to kill Lu Qiu. After Lu Qiu dies, youâll search for Duan Ling Tian and subdue him!" Cheng He looked at Ou Lie again.
Ou Lie nodded his head to show he understood.
The atmosphere was incredible tensed and heavy. Cheng He and the other four were about to make their move â
Suddenly.
"Tian Wu, youâre hurt?" A voice filled with urgency and anger suddenly resonated in the air and broke the silence.
At once, everybodyâs attention was caught by a figure that materialized in the air abruptly.
It was a purple-clad young man. The young man was handsome, and his features were sharp. His eyes, with dashing brows that were slightly slanted, were gleaming with iciness and killing intent.
He made his move when the crowdâs attention was on him.
Dragon Soaring The Nine Heavens!
It was as though his entire body had transformed into a purple divine dragon. He charged out like lightning and arrived beside the red-clad woman with a slightly pale face who was standing in the distance.
"Tian Wu, swallow this." The purple-clad young man put a brightly gleaming pill into her mouth.
The red-clad woman trusted him completely. She swallowed the pill without any hesitation.
"That pill... H-Howâs this possible?!" Cheng He who was standing in the distance suddenly trembled violently.
His gaze was originally fixed on the pill the purple-clad young man took out. He only regained his senses when the pill was swallowed by the red-clad woman. However, shock was still written all over his face.
"Huh?" Cheng Heâs shock stunned the other four as well. They all looked at him in confusion.
"The grade one Life Recovery Pill he just took out has more than 95% purity!" Cheng He explained when he saw the confusion on the other fourâs faces.
The red-clad woman in the distance who had just swallowed the pill immediately regained colors on her cheeks and her body was brimming with vigor and vitality, proving Cheng Heâs words right. She had completely recovered.
Where were the signs of her being injured?
Many people who heard Cheng Heâs words were dumbfounded when they looked at the scene before their eyes.
"T-This grade one Life Recovery Pill has more than 95% purity?" Lu Rui was the first to regain his senses. He gulped.
"Earlier, Miss Tian Wu has already consumed a grade one Life Recovery Pill with 91% purity. Although her injuries have healed a little, itâs not completely healed." Lu Yuan was staring at the scene unfolding before his eyes in bafflement. He went completely still from the shock. "A grade one Life Recovery Pill with more than 95% purity actually has such strong medicinal efficacy?"
"The closer the pillâs purity is to 100%, the more terrifying the pillâs medicinal efficacy would be!" Lu Zhi said solemnly, "It didnât cross my mind that Elder Duan is able to refine grade one Life Recovery Pills with more than 95% purity... Itâs so close to achieving 100% purity! The strength of the medicinal efficacy must be at least double the strength of grade one Life Recovery Pills with 91% purity!"
The group of Lu Clanâs elders was still in shock over Cheng Heâs words when...
Cheng Heâs gaze was burning a hole through the purple-clad young man standing in the distance. He asked loudly, "Duan Ling Tian, looks like Iâve underestimated you! I canât believe you can actually refine grade one pills with more than 95% purity! The grade one Life Recovery Pill you just gave her had 97% purity, right?"
This time, his voice was even louder, and all the Lu Clanâs people on the scene heard it clearly.
"WHAT?! A grade one Life Recovery Pill with 97% purity?"
"Are there even pills with such high purity on Cloud Continent?"
"I-Itâs impossible, isnât it?"
...
Each and every one of the Lu Clanâs disciple began to discuss. Their skeptical gazes quickly landed on the purple-clad young man in the distance.
Suddenly, one of the Lu Clanâs disciples who was staring at the purple-clad young man cried out, "Thatâs Elder Duan!"
"WHAT?! Heâs that Elder Duan?!" All the Lu Clanâs disciples were in an uproar.
"Heâs the First Interim Elder of our Lu Clan? That grade one alchemist who can refine grade one pills with more than 90% purity?"
"Heâs young, just like the rumor said!"
"Looks like the old man wasnât lying... Elder Duan can refine grade one Life Recovery Pills with 97% purity!"
"I think so too! After all, Elder Duan defies all common logic!"
...
Soon after, all the Lu Clanâs disciples were staring at the purple-clad young man in the distance â Duan Ling Tian.
To the younger generation in the Lu Clan, Duan Ling Tian was their ultimate idol, and he was greatly respected and admired.
"Second Brother, no wonder I found him and the red-clad sister familiar... As it turns out, it really is them!" A girl with a child-like face muttered when she was hit by a pang of realization.
Another young man stood next to her.
"I didnât think youâll still be able to recognize him." The young man smiled faintly.
The young man was none other than Lu Bai, the Second Young Master of the Lu Clan.
As for the girl beside him, there was no doubt about her identity. She was none other than Lu Ping. She was the girl Feng Wu Dao previously saved along with her brother.
Her brother was Lu Bai.
"Duan Ling Tian, you really gave me a huge gift." Lu Baiâs eyes were filled with gratitude when he looked at the purple-clad young man in the distance.
Lu Bai had found out about Lu Songâs death not too long ago. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he was sure to inherit the position of Clan Leader in the Lu Clan.
All of this was made possible because of the purple-clad young man. If it was not for the purple-clad young man, it would still be uncertain if he would get that position.
Duan Ling Tian was slightly shocked that Cheng He was able to see through the purity of the grade one Life Recovery Pill with just one glance.
Similar to a senior lecturing a junior, he coldly looked at Cheng He as he remarked, "What a good eyesight... However, what a pity. You have no desire to keep forging ahead. Instead, youâre focused on dishonest practices. Youâre destined not to make any more progress in this lifetime."
"Youâre just a lucky young boy who obtained some secret technique from God-knows-where, and you actually dare to criticize me? When I became an alchemist, let alone you, even your mother might still be in her motherâs womb! Who do you think you are to rebuke me?!" Upon hearing Duan Ling Tianâs words, Cheng Heâs were ablaze as though it could really shoot out fire.
"Thatâs right, when you first became an alchemist, my mother might still be in her motherâs womb..." Duan Ling Tian smirked. He paused for a moment before continuing, "If I was you, I wouldâve killed myself a long time ago... Youâre already so old, but it seems like you spent most of your time living like a dog! Howâs it possible that youâre not even as good as a young boy like me?!"
Duan Ling Tianâs words were full of mockery, implying that Cheng He was inferior to a young boy!
The moment Duan Ling Tianâs words left his mouth, many Lu clanâs disciples burst into a laughing fit. Disdain could be seen in their eyes when they looked at Cheng He.
"So much for being the Guild Leader of the Alchemists Guildâs Main Guild in the Southern Outer Land!"
"Exactly! Our Lu Clanâs Elder Duan is barely one-third of his age and yet, his achievement in the Medicine Refinement Dao has long surpassed his!"
"Heâs basically a trash in front of Elder Duan!"
"Trash?! What a perfect word to describe him!"
...
The Lu Clanâs disciples whispered among each other. Their words were blunt as they mocked Cheng He to their heartsâ content.
Although their voices were not particularly loud, it was still clearly heard by Cheng He. It caused his face to turn green before it paled. The rage in his eyes continued to intensify.
"Duan Ling Tian! Donât be so full of yourself! Youâre just lucky you managed to obtain the secret technique! Otherwise, will you really be able to refine pills with more than 90% purity?" Cheng He hissed with disdain after he took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Until now, he still believed Duan Ling Tian was lucky and came across some secret technique that allowed him to refine pills with more than 90% purity.
If he obtained the secret technique, he would be able to refine pills with 90% purity as well.
Secret technique?
The moment the crowd heard of Cheng He mentioning the words âsecret techniqueâ, they immediately shifted their gazes toward Duan Ling Tian in unison.
