Xue Jin was a disciple of Xue Ming Zhi, the Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect. He was an orphan before Xue Ming Zhi took him in. Since then, he had adopted Xue Ming Zhi’s family name.
As for Huang Tian, he was the disciple of He Zhao Ming, another Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect.
The duo was one of the top inner disciples in the Flying Dragon Sect and was only weaker than Duan Ling Tian, Hua Tian Du, and a few others.
Earlier, Huang Tiang had been filled with the flames of fury and hate because of Duan Ling Tian’s blatant disregard. However, he felt as though his anger and hate had been doused by a bucket of water when he heard Xue Jin’s words. After all, he knew Xue Jin wanted to use him to seek revenge on Duan Ling Tian. How could he be willing to let Xue Jin use him as a knife?
Xue Jin chuckled upon hearing Huang Ting’s words. He said, “Huang Ting, do you think you’re a match for Duan Ling Tian? In my opinion, you can’t even withstand a move from Duan Ling Tian. Why would I need to use you?”
A bright smile appeared on Xue Jin’s face when he finished speaking.
“You!” Huang Ting’s expression darkened immediately.
Before Huang Ting could say anything else, Duan Ling Tian, who had turned back, asked calmly, “You’re Xue Jin? Do you think you can withstand a move from me?”
In fact, Duan Ling Tian did not plan to intervene in the matter between Xue Jin and Huang Ting. However, when he discovered Xue Jin was sowing discord, he thought he could not let the matter go.
Moreover, Duan Ling Tian had learned from Linghu Ren Jie that Xue Ming Zhi would likely target him since he doted on his daughter so much. As long as his daughter asked him, he would definitely try to deal with him. Since he learned about this, he had been wary of Xue Ming Zhi. Needless to say, he did not have a good impression of Xue Ming Zhi at all. His dislike naturally extended to Xue Jin, who was Xue Ming Zhi’s disciple. There was no need for him to be courteous to Xue Jin at all since Xue Ming Zhi was already out to get him anyway.

Huang Ting’s anger vanished as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. All of a sudden, he felt that Duan Ling Tian was rather pleasing to the eyes. He looked at Xue Jin with a gloating smile and said, “Xue Jin, why don’t you prove that you can withstand a move from Duan… Brother Duan?”
For maximum impact, Huang Ting even changed the way he addressed Duan Ling Tian.
Xue Jin ignored Huang Ting as he said to Duan Ling Tian icily, “Duan Ling Tian, I admit I’m not a match for you. However, it’s impossible for you to defeat me with one move.”
Xue Jin’s expression was rather unsightly at this moment.
Duan Ling Tian said indifferently, “Very well. I’ll bet 10,000 contribution points. If you can withstand a move from me, you can have 10,000 contribution points. If you lose, you’ll have to give me 10,000 contribution points. Do you dare to make a bet with me?”
A commotion broke out immediately as soon as Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell. 10,000 contribution points was a lot, after all.
Although Xue Jin was seething with anger, he was tempted by the 10,000 contribution points. Although he had joined the Flying Dragon Sect for quite a while, and his godfather was a Vice Sect Leader of the Flying Dragon Sect, he had only accumulated fewer than 20,000 contribution points. Hence, he asked, “Are you serious?”
“Of course,” Duan Ling Tian said.
Xue Jin looked at Duan Ling Tian and said mockingly, “You just joined the sect. Do you even have 10,000 contribution points? However, I heard that you’re quite close to Elder Xue Hai Chuan. Perhaps, you can borrow the contribution points from him after you lose.”
“It’s only 10,000 contribution points. I don’t need a loan,” Duan Ling Tian said nonchalantly.
At this time, someone among the crowd said to Xue Jin, “Senior brother, Duan Ling Tian just completed a mission posted by Elder Zhu Fei Yu. He was looking for a Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill.”
Coincidentally, a figure flew into the Internal Affairs Pavilion at this moment before a voice rang in the air.
“Someone completed my mission?”
It was a middle-aged man dressed in a long gray robe. He appeared in front of the counter and accepted the divine pill that the elder handed him. After inspecting the pill, he said, “Indeed, it’s the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill. Who completed the mission?”
The elder hastily replied, “Elder Zhu Fei Yu, Duan Ling Tian completed the mission.”
“Duan Ling Tian?” Zhu Fei Yu turned around and looked at Duan Ling Tian with bright eyes. “Duan Ling Tian, I heard that you were already refining god-grade Limit Divine Pills while you were in the Linghu clan. Did you refine this pill as well?”
After glancing at the White Dragon Elder’s identity token hanging at Zhu Fei Yu’s waist, Duan Ling Tian nodded and said, “Yes.”
Zhu Fei Yu’s eyes brightened even more. “Do you still have any Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills? I’d like another 2 more pills. Just like before, it’d be 10,000 contribution points for each pill.”
Everyone shifted their curious gazes toward Duan Ling Tian immediately, wondering if he was truly able to produce more Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills for Zhu Fei Yu.
“I still have a few left,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile as he brought a pill bottle out of his spatial ring. He poured nine pills out before selecting two for Zhu Fei Yu. Including the one for the mission earlier, he originally had ten pills. After he put away the pill bottle, he handed his identity token to Zhu Fei Yu.
Zhu Fei Yu, who had just regained his senses, quickly said, “Wait. Give me another one. I’ll take three pills from you. I’ll give you another 30,000 contribution points.”
Zhu FeiYu did not expect Duan Ling Tian to have nine Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills at all. When he thought about his son whose Heavenly Veins were damaged, he quickly asked for another three Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills. He needed to make sure his son would recover before the start of the Imperial War.
“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian naturally would not refuse a chance to accumulate more contribution points with the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills. In just a moment, Duan Ling Tian had already gained 40,000 contribution points.
After the transaction was over, Zhu Fei Yu said, “Duan Ling Tian, I have to leave now. When you’re free, please visit me. I’ll be more than happy to welcome you.”
Zhu Fei Yu was anxious to leave now so he could finally give his son the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills he had just obtained.
Silence permeated the entire place after Zhu Fei Yu left.
Everyone was shocked that Duan Ling Tian had so many Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pills.
“Did he really refine them?”
“Heavens! I know he can easily refine god-grade Limit Divine Pills, but I really didn’t expect him to be able to refine king-grade Limit Divine Pills as well!”
“It’s not just that. Even divine alchemists who are capable of refining king-grade Limit Divine Pill aren’t necessarily capable of refining the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill. It’s one of the most difficult king-grade Limit Divine Pill to refine, after all.”
“It seems like his talent in alchemy is even more heaven-defying than his talent in cultivation!”
“However, we don’t know if he really refined them. It’s really difficult for me to believe it. He’s not even 3,000 years old, after all. Perhaps, his master refined it for him?”
At 3,000 years old, Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation and comprehension of the law had shocked everyone. Naturally, they would find it hard to believe that he was also highly talented in alchemy.
“If that’s the case, then his master’s skill is very heaven-defying as well. After all, not even the sect leader can refine the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill.”
Meanwhile, after putting his identity token away, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Xue Jin whose expression was rather ugly at this time. He asked, “Why don’t we bet 40,000 contribution points?”
Xue Jin’s eyes widened imperceptibly upon hearing these words. Then, he glared at Duan Ling Tian for a moment before he turned away.
Upon seeing this, Huang Ting laughed heartily before he said mockingly, “Xue Jin, are you afraid?”
Xue Jin looked at Huang Ting and said, “If you’re so capable, why don’t you challenge me to a life-or-death duel?”
Huang Ting sneered. “Xue Jin, don’t try to bully me just because you’re older. When you were my match, were you even as strong as I am now?”
Xue Jin only scoffed before he walked away.
Duan Ling Tian felt rather speechless as he watched Xue Jin leave. ‘My chance to earn another 40,000 contribution points just disappeared!’
