Chapter 3757 The Earthly King Divine Pill

After receiving the news, Linghu Ren Jie hurriedly sent a message to Duan Ling Tian asking why Duan Ling Tian left the Linghu clan’s estate and if Duan Ling Tian knew how dangerous it was.

“Have you forgotten how Kuang Tian Zheng, the inner elder of the Flying Dragon Sect, wanted to kill you? What if he had his men lying in wait for you in Linghu City? Apart from that, there’s also the Hidden Fog Sect. Although they made it clear they have no enmity with you now, who can say for sure that’s really the case? Who knows if Supreme Elder Lei and Supreme Elder Feng will go against Qian Yin’s words?”

Duan Ling Tian, who was outside of Linghu City at this time, was moved when he heard the concern in Linghu Ren Jie’s message. He said through Voice Transmission, “Don’t worry, Clan Leader. I’ll be fine. When you return, I might have a surprise for you.”

Linghu Ren Jie had checked Duan Ling Tian’s Soul Pearl earlier so he knew Duan Ling Tian was safe, at least for now. He felt much more at ease after he confirmed Duan Ling Tian had not been attacked.

“Don’t be so reckless next time,” Linghu Ren Jie said with mock sternness. His back was drenched in cold sweat when he thought about how Duan Ling Tian might have gotten hurt. He had high hopes for Duan Ling Tian, after all. How could he be willing to see anything bad happen to Duan Ling Tian? Moreover, after spending more than two years with Duan Ling Tian, his impression of Duan Ling Tian, who was very clear about his friends and foes, had grown even better. If it were not because of Duan Ling Tian’s talent and he felt unworthy, he really wanted to adopt Duan Ling Tian as his foster son.

Linghu Ren Jie said again, “If the cost of the surprise means you have to endanger yourself, I’d rather not have it.”

Duan Ling Tian’s heart moved again when he heard these words. He knew Linghu Ren Jie sincerely cared about him.

‘Linghu clan, you took me in at my lowest point. When I succeed in the future, I’ll definitely repay your kindness,’ Duan Ling Tian vowed inwardly.

On the other hand, after Linghu Ren Jie spoke to Duan Ling Tian, he sent a message back to the core elder of the Linghu clan and told the core elder to leave the matter alone and that Duan Ling Tian would return on his own. Linghu Ren Jie hesitated for a moment before he sent a message to Linghu Huan, one of the Supreme Elders of the Linghu clan.

“Elder Huan, do you plan to go into closed-door cultivation any time soon?”

“No,” Linghu Huan quickly responded, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing,” Linghu Ren Jie replied, “Duan Ling Tian left the estate on his own…”

“What?” Linghu Huan did not wait for Linghu Ren Jie’s reply as he continued to say anxiously, “That kid ran out on his own? Doesn’t that mean the effort my brother and I expended to bring him back from the Hidden Fog Sect is in vain? How can he do this? Where is he now? Is he still alive? If he dies, my brother and my efforts will go to waste!”

Linghu Huan was exasperated when he heard about Duan Ling Tian’s departure. His chubby face was flushed, and his eyes were narrowed into slits.

“Elder Huan, calm down,” Linghu Ren Jie said, “I just spoke to him. He’s fine. I reached out to you because I hope you’ll escort him back to the clan. You don’t have his Soul Pearl so you can’t contact him so I’ll arrange everything.”

Since Duan Ling Tian was fine after leaving the Linghu clan, it meant that he managed to avoid detection. It could also mean that his enemies had given up on waiting in Linghu City. However, Linghu Ren Jie was still worried so he wanted Linghu Huan to escort Duan Ling Tian back.

“Hurry up and ask him where he is. Ask him to wait for me. My brother and I will go to him immediately! The cheeky rascal!” Linghu Huan said.

“I’ll speak to him now.”

When Duan Ling Tian received Linghu Ren message again, he refused immediately. “Clan Leader, there’s no need for that. I can return safely on my own. There’s no need to trouble Supreme Elder Huan and Supreme Elder Heng.” What a joke! He had left the Linghu clan’s estate so he could find a secluded place to refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills. With that, no one would notice if there was a Pill Tribulation. It would be for naught if he returned or if Linghu Huan and Linghu Heng came.

Alas, Linghu Ren Jie was very insistent and firm in his decision this time. Nevertheless, he still tried his best to compromise. “When you want to return, send me a message, I’ll send the two supreme elders to pick you up. Don’t return on your own. Your enemies might not have noticed when you left, but you can’tbe certain it’d be the same when you return.”

Duan Ling Tian briefly considered Linghu Ren Jie’s words and agreed since it would not affect his mission.

“Be careful. Contact me if anything happens,” Linghu Ren Jie said.

Despite the wry smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face, his heart was warm. Since he came to the Profound Energy Land, this was the first time someone cared so much about him. Perhaps, the only other person was Tang Wu Yan, the disciple of the Hidden Fog Sect.

Over the past two years, Duan Ling Tian had spoken to Wu Feng from time to time. Wu Feng would often update him about Tang Chun, an elder of the Hidden Fog Sect.

Tang Wu told Wu Feng, who in turn told Duan Ling Tian, that after Duan Ling Tian was labeled a traitor after leaving the Hidden Fog Sect, Tang Wu Yan was so angry that she shut herself in her room. It was only when Qian Yin, the Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect, stepped forward to clear the rumors and wished Duan Ling Tian well that Tang Wu Yan came out from her room after being persuaded by Tang Chun. According to Tang Chun, Tang Wu Yan had lost some weight.

When Duan Ling Tian heard that, he was determined not to meet Tang Wu Yan again to prevent her from falling deeper in love with him. After all, apart from his two wives; Keler and Li Fei, he also had Feng Tian Wu and Huan’er. There was also Murong Bing who was still waiting for him to pick her up in the Devata Realm.

“I should hurry up and refine the pills…” Duan Ling Tian muttered under his breath as he dismissed thoughts about Tang Wu Yan that had surfaced due to Linghu Ren Jie’s concern.

Duan Ling Tian looked around for a secluded place outside Linghu City for a while before he decided on a deserted mountain range. There were no humans and very few monsters in that place.

“I’ll refine the pills here.”

Duan Ling Tian circled the place to confirm there was no one around before he landed in a canyon in the mountain range. Then, he brought out his Divine Pill Cauldron.

“Earthly King Divine Pill.”

Duan Ling Tian decided to refine the Earthly King Divine Pill first. This Divine Pill was one of the king-grade Divine Pills he had consumed while he was in the Linghu clan to improve his cultivation base. However, due to the frequency of his consumption, ordinary Earthly King Divine Pills had lost their efficacy on him. It was also one of the pills that he was very skilled at refining; he even dared to say that his success rate of refining this pill was 100%.

Since Duan Ling Tian wanted to keep a low profile, he did not imbue the Earthly King Divine Pills with vitality energy when he was in the Linghu clan. Now, he longer had to worry about attracting attention.

Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian discovered a problem. The amount of vitality energy he extracted from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was truly pitiable. It was not as much as the vitality energy he extracted from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Linghu clan. After all, there was a divine stone vein under the Linghu clan’s estate so the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was richer.

The reason he could only extract such a small amount of vitality energy here was due to the thin Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in this place.

“The Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy here is the issue. It seems like I can only use the vitality energy in my Little World…”

Duan Ling Tian did not waste time and mobilized the vitality energy in his Little World. Due to the Divine Tree of Life, he did not need to extract it from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in his Little World. The vitality energy from the Divine Tree of Life was also much purer.

“Purify!”

Duan Ling Tian used the vitality energy in his Little World to carry out the last step of the pill refinement process, which was to purify the pill.

Since Duan Ling Tian did not lack vitality energy, he was very generous with his vitality energy when purifying the pills. “It’s almost done. I wonder if I’ll be able to successfully refine the Limit Divine Pill.”

Under Duan Ling Tian’s expectant gaze, a pill flew out of the cauldron. For most king-grade Divine Pills like the Earthly King Divine Pill, only one could be refined at a time in a cauldron.

“Hm? It looks different…” Duan Ling Tian could tell the pill in his hand was different from the Earthly King Divine Pills he usually refined. The pill in his hand was glowing with a strange light.

Suddenly…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As soon as the Pill Tribulation arrived, the Earthly King Divine Pill flew up into the air.

Duan Ling Tian smiled. He finally managed to refine another Limit Divine Pill.

Alas, the smile on Duan Ling Tian’s face did not last for long. The Earthly King Divine Pill he refined failed to pass the Pill Tribulation and was smashed into powder.
