Of course, he never thought of giving it to Zhang Shou Yong.
Although Zhang Shou Yong was his Big Brother in name, but he’d never taken Zhang Shou Yong to be his Big Brother in his heart.
He’d even thought of withdrawing this medicinal material before Zhang Shou Yong, yet not giving it to Zhang Shou Yong, causing Zhang Shou Yong to be infuriated…
Yet he never imagined that a matter like the one of today would have happened.
But a medicinal material that he didn’t recognize in exchange for his mother’s cultivation was something that he felt he benefited from.
Deal?
Presently, the group of Zhang Clan elders were completely stunned, and they were unable to recover from their shock for a long time.
Originally, when they saw Zhang Shou Yuan withdraw that inconspicuous medicinal material, they felt that Zhang Shou Yuan was inviting humiliation…
Yet never had they imagined that Zhang Shou Yong would actually give up making it difficult for the Patriarch’s wife for the sake of this medicinal material.
"Unbelievable!"
"Exactly what medicinal material is that?"
…
The group of Zhang Clan elders were filled with interest towards the medicinal material that was currently held in Zhang Shou Yong’s hand, and the feelings of the Patriarch was exactly similar to the group of elders.
He never expected as well that his second son was able to use an inconspicuous medicinal material to turn the tide…
But based on the present situation, the ending of the entire matter wasn’t bad.
His second wife didn’t have to be crippled in the end.
"The matter of today is done." Zhang Shou Yong left before these indifferent words before calling out to Duan Ling Tian and returning to the courtyard he lived in.
"Mother." Zhang Shou Yuan took a deep breath as he extended out his hand to support the woman that was covered in cold sweat.
The woman stared at Duan Ling Tian and Zhang Shou Yong’s disappearing figure with eyes that were filled with brutal killing intent.
After Duan Ling Tian and Zhang Shou Yong returned to the courtyard, they walked into a room together.
Subsequently, Zhang Shou Yong passed the Ageless Root in his hand to Duan Ling Tian. "Brother Ling Tian, is this medicinal material very important to you?"
At that time, when Duan Ling Tian asked him to help look for the Ageless Root, he hasn’t realized the importance of the Ageless Root to Duan Ling Tian.
But after the incident of today, it instead allowed him to realize how important it was to Duan Ling Tian.
"Yes, it’s extremely important." Duan Ling Tian firmly grasped the Ageless Root as he tried his best to suppress the feeling in his heart, and he put it away in his Spatial Ring as if he’d obtained a precious treasure.
"No matter what, your luck isn’t bad… I never imagined that my second brother would actually just happen to have this Ageless Root." Zhang Shou Yong sighed. "If it wasn’t for you coming to denounce their crimes today and causing his mother to be in a dangerous situation, he might not have handed the Ageless Root over."
Zhang Shou Yong knew the conflict between himself and Zhang Shou Yuan well.
Even if Zhang Shou Yuan had the Ageless Root and knew that he was looking for it, Zhang Shou Yuan would still not give it to him.
At most, Zhang Shou Yuan would intentionally take out the Ageless Root to anger him.
"I never expected it as well." Duan Ling Tian nodded. The incident from today was something that even he felt disbelief towards.
If he didn’t come to the Zhang Clan Estate to look for Zhang Shou Yong that day, if he didn’t encounter Zhang Shou Yong’s second brother, Zhang Shou Yuan, then he wouldn’t have executed the soul skill, Thousand Illusions, to play a trick of Zhang Shou Yuan.
Nor would he have offended the Zhang Clan Patriarch’s wife because of this, causing her to hate him to the bone and send her subordinates to kill him.
All of this seems as if it was predestined by the heavens. Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart.
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian returned to his senses, and he looked at Zhang Shou Yong and said sincerely. "Big Brother Zhang, no matter what, if it wasn’t for you today, it would be impossible for me to force your Second Mother to that extent… If I wasn’t able to force her to that extent, your second brother wouldn’t take out the Ageless Root as the terms of exchange."
As far as Duan Ling Tian was concerned, the reason he was able to obtain the Ageless Root was all because of Zhang Shou Yong in the end.
"Brother Ling Tian, you’re being too polite…. Don’t forget that you’ve given me a grade three spirit weapon! No matter how valuable the Ageless Root is, could it be that it’s even able to be more valuable than a grade three spirit weapon?" Zhang Shou Yong shook his head.
Duan Ling Tian couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard Zhang Shou Yong.
He never expected that Zhang Shou Yong would compare the Ageless Root with a grade three spirit weapon.
After all, a grade three spirit weapon wasn’t rare to him.
So long as he had the materials, he could refine one at any time, whereas, the Ageless Root was different.
Obtaining the Ageless Root also meant that he could officially start to refine the Rebirth Pill…
When he thought of the heaven defying medicinal strength of the Rebirth Pill, Duan Ling Tian’s feelings surged once more.
"Big Brother Zhang, since the matter of today has been dealt with, I ought to leave as well." Duan Ling Tian bid his farewells to Zhang Shou Yong.
Presently, he was impatient to get home, as he wished for nothing more than to return and refine the heaven defying medicinal pill, the Rebirth Pill.
"I’ll send you there." This time, not only did Zhang Shou Yong personally send Duan Ling Tian out of the Zhang Clan Estate, he even sent Duan Ling Tian all the way to the Darkstone Estate.
"I’ll see you in a month." Before Duan Ling Tian entered the Darkstone Estate, he lightly smiled as he spoke to Zhang Shou Yong.
"I’ll see you in a month." Zhang Shou Yong nodded.
Zhang Shou Yong only turned and left after he saw Duan Ling Tian safely enter the Darkstone Estate.
The reason he personally sent Duan Ling Tian back was because he was worried that second mother of his would once again send her subordinates to attack Duan Ling Tian…
He was extremely clear about the temperament of her second mother, she sought vengeance for the smallest grievances without leaving any room for turning back.
"Hmph!" Duan Ling Tian had just entered the Darkstone Estate when he heard a cold snort found the courtyard ahead, and when he looked carefully, it was the Saber Young Master, Long Yun, that was coldly looking at him.
"Long Yun!" Duan Ling Tian’s brows raised as his Spiritual Force stretched out to envelop Long Yun.
In next to no time, the corners of Duan Ling Tian’s mouth twitched.
Heavens!
What have I seen?
"This… This is too crazy, right?" Duan Ling Tian laughed bitterly in his heart.
Earlier, when his Spiritual Force enveloped Long Yun earlier, he’d detected Long Yun’s cultivation at the first possible moment.
But Long Yun’s cultivation had exceeded Duan Ling Tian’s expectations.
The seventh level of the Void Initiation Stage!
Long Yun’s cultivation actually surpassed his current cultivation.
Duan Ling Tian was slightly speechless.
"Looks like it’s really possible that this fellow’s cultivation has been pushed up by a pile of spirit fruits… Looks like that master behind him doesn’t lack a store of spirit fruits." Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
Undeniably, traces of envy had arose in Duan Ling Tian’s heart.
He felt his fortuitous encounters could already be considered to be not bad.
But even then, his cultivation was still inferior to Long Yun.
Duan Ling Tian shook his head and disregarded Long Yun before heading towards the courtyard he stayed in.
So long as I consume the Rebirth Pill, I’ll be able to surpass the current Long Yun in one go… In the next year, so long as my comprehension in Wind Concept is able to follow up, then it wouldn’t be impossible for me to break through to the Void Interpretation Stage before the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties." When he thought up to here, Duan Ling Tian was much more relieved.
He had the trump card that was the Rebirth Pill.
"Duan Ling Tian, you went out again?" When his courtyard was just before his eyes, a familiar voice sounded out by Duan Ling Tian’s ears.
Duan Ling Tian turned around to look and saw Su Li walking out with large strides from the courtyard nearby, and Su Li’s face was glowing.
"Su Li." Duan Ling Tian smiled to Su Li, and then his Spiritual Force stretched out to envelop Su Li and detect Su Li’s current cultivation.
But the outcome struck a blow to Duan Ling Tian once more.
"Eighth… Eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage!" The corners of Duan Ling Tian’s mouth twitched.
Can it be any crazier?
"The masters of Su Li and Long Yun really have substantial resources. They’re actually able to take out so many different spirit fruits for Su Li and Long Yun to consume and advance in cultivation." Quite great interest towards the masters of Su Li and Long Yun had arose in Duan Ling Tian’s heart.
"Looks like Su Li is surely able to advance in the Dynasty Martial Competition… As for Long Yun, he similarly has a great chance." Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
"Duan Ling Tian, I forget to ask you the last time… Where’s the little devil that was following by your side?" Su Li looked around and confirmed there were no traces of the little devil from that day before being unable to refrain from asking.
"Oh her? She left temporarily," said Duan Ling Tian.
He naturally knew who the little devil Su Li mentioned was, it was undoubtedly Han Xue Nai.
In the eyes of everyone including Su Li, all of them had taken that little girl Han Xue Nai to be a little devil.
Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian greatly approved this way of addressing Han Xue Nai.
The little devil did indeed suit Han Xue Nai extremely well.
"Little Gold, Little Black, Little White… I hope that all of you can be safe. Otherwise, I’ll surely not let that Qing Nu off!" When he finished thinking, cold lights flickered within Duan Ling Tian’s eyes and he vowed in his heart.
"Su Li, I’ll be going in first." Duan Ling Tian returned to his senses and bid his farewells to Su Li before returning to his room.
Su Li only returned to his senses after Duan Ling Tian’s figure vanished from before his eyes, and he revealed a wisp of a smile as he muttered to himself. "Duan Ling Tian… I should be able to surpass you this time, right?" Su Li’s words were obviously filled with confidence towards his current strength.
Eighth level of the Void Initiation Stage!
It was sufficient to allow Su Li to be filled with confidence.
Duan Ling Tian naturally didn’t know what Su Li muttered after he left, otherwise, he would only smile indifferently.
After all, he was able to refine the Rebirth Pill today, and once he consumed the Rebirth Pill, he would be able to attain a transformation similar to being reborn in flames like the Divine Beast Phoenix…
At that time, his cultivation would undergo an enormous changed that shook the very world.
Duan Ling Tian, who’d returned to his room, didn’t do anything else, and he directly withdrew the grade three spirit weapon cauldron he refined the other day.
After he withdrew the cauldron, he first withdrew the two types of secondary medicinal catalyst, the Ageless Root and Phoenix Wing Herb.
Subsequently, he withdrew a pile of medicinal materials.
The Rebirth Pill’s method of refinement… Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
In the depths of his mind, the records related to the Rebirth Pill’s method of refinement in the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor had fused one by one into his memories, and it became a part of his own memories.
After he confirmed that he’d fully grasped it, Duan Ling Tian returned to his senses.
Now, I’ll start refining the Rebirth Pill! With a raise of his hand, a violet colored Pill Fire with traces of copper edges suffused on its surroundings flickered on his hand, and it was precisely the Violet Copper Pill Fire.
The Violet Copper Pill Fire was also called grade three Pill Fire, and it was possessed by grade three Alchemists.
