Novel Full Chapter 1986 - Guan Xiu
Chapter 1986: Guan Xiu
Ding Zhong was not unfamiliar with the name Duan Ling Tian.
Although this name had spread in the Fire Worship Sect recently, due to the reason the person only had a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, he did not regard the person very highly. Moreover, he had even told more than one person that Duan Ling Tian was only a commoner who had gotten lucky.
A commoner was still a commoner. Although he was lucky, he would not be able to rise up.
So what if he was talented at comprehending Divine Abilities? It was destined that he would be unable to achieve a lot without having a high innate talent.
So what if he could transform into a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior?
Even if a commoner who only had the yellow Spiritual Root was a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior, the dragon members in the dragon clan would never treat him like an Eight-clawed Divine Dragon either.
Other than being a symbol of status, the Eight-clawed Divine Dragon of the dragon clan was a symbol of strength as well! On top of that, the reason the Eight-clawed Divine Dragon had such a lofty position in the dragon clan was mainly because of their Martial Dao innate talent and their strength.
In Ding Zhong’s opinion, Duan Ling Tian had none of these.
The strong ones were revered in the dragon clan. It was impossible for the dragon clan to acknowledge someone weak.
“So you’re Duan Ling Tian.” Ding Zhong’s expression changed immediately. The smile on his face had disappeared and was replaced with a cold expression.
Although he had heard about the strength Duan Ling Tian had displayed a few days ago that was close to the Saint Celestial Stage, he still did not regard him highly.
In his opinion, that was basically Duan Ling Tian’s limit!
After all, Duan Ling Tian only had a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, and his limit was the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage. Even if he progressed further, it would be extremely difficult for him to break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage.
When he died, his strength would probably only be at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage.
Such a person was not worthy for him to fawn over.
“Huh?” Duan Ling Tian was puzzled when he saw the change in Ding Zhong’s expression.
Soon after, he was hit by a pang of realization. He only shrugged as a helpless smile appeared on his face. However, he did not say anything.
Duan Ling Tian was not a fool.
He could roughly guess the reason why Ding Zhong had treated him nicely before. He must have thought Duan Ling Tian had a bright future ahead of him and was trying to use this chance to flatter him.
Ding Zhong’s change of expression must be due to the reveal of his name. He must have thought it pointless to flatter him anymore.
There were two reasons for this. First, like most people in the Fire Worship Sect, Ding Zhong thought he possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. Second, Ding Zhong did not think that he could fight against Li An. He felt that Duan Ling Tian would die in this battle between him and Li An.
No matter what the reason was, it had told him one common truth. In Ding Zhong’s opinion, he was no longer worthy. That was why Ding Zhong’s attitude toward him had taken a dive so dramatically.
‘How superficial…’ Although Duan Ling Tian had seen many scenes like that in his life, he still could not help but shake his head and sigh emotionally when he saw this.
Naturally, he was not bothered by it. It was not important if Ding Zhong treated him nicely or not as long as he settled the registration for him and did not try to harm him.
Fortunately, despite being a snob, Ding Zhong did not make things difficult for Duan Ling Tian during the registration process.
After he finished registering Duan Ling Tian, he turned to look at the young man on his left side and said, “Go bring a few of the uniforms for Saint Land disciples for him.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at another young man and said, “Prepare the identity token and the crystal card to store the Contribution Points for him.”
“Yes!” The two young men were Ding Zhong’s helpers in the registrar for new Saint Land disciples. Naturally, they would do as they were told.
Perhaps, it was due to Ding Zhong’s influence, when their gaze swept across Duan Ling Tian, a hint of contempt could be seen in their eyes.
Duan Ling Tian merely ignored them.
Everyone was entitled to their own opinion, so he chose to overlook it. It was fine as long as they did not look for trouble with him.
‘The Saint Land disciple has an identity token?’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed. When he was in the Black Turtle Sanctum, he was only given uniforms exclusive for Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples and not an identity token.
It seems like preferential treatment was given to Saint Land disciples.
‘As for the crystal card storing the Contribution Points, it must be the same with Moon Illumination Sect’s crystal card that stored Merit Points. The Contribution Points inside will most likely allow me to exchange for valuable items in the Fire Worship Sect’s Saint Land!’ It was not difficult for Duan Ling Tian to figure this out.
Very soon, the two young men prepared a few sets of Saint Land disciple’s uniforms, an identity token, and a crystal card for Duan Ling Tian.
“Thank you.” Faced with Ding Zhong and the two young men’s cold expressions, Duan Ling Tian nodded his head at them politely before he turned around to leave.
After he left, he discovered that he did not know where the residence of the Saint Land disciples was located!
Duan Ling Tian wanted to turn around and return to the registry. However, when he recalled the unapproachable vibes from the three people, he dismissed the idea.
‘It’s fine. I won’t look for them. I’ll just look for someone else and ask around.’ Duan Ling Tian left as soon as he thought about this.
“Elder Ding Zhong, isn’t it a little inappropriate that we didn’t send him to the residence of the Saint Land disciples? It’s his first time coming to the Saint Land after all,” one of the young men asked as he looked at Ding Zhong after Duan Ling Tian had left.
“Why? Do you plan to fawn over him?” Ding Zhong smiled contemptuously as he said, “Even if Duan Ling Tian is immensely talented in comprehending Divine Abilities, he won’t have any great achievements in the future since he only has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root!”
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian finally found a Saint Land Disciple and asked him for directions to the residence of Saint Land disciples.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” After getting the answers he wanted, Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, happy. He thanked the Saint Land disciple whom he had stopped.
The Saint Land disciple before him was a burly middle-aged man. He had a simple and good-natured appearance. In other words, he looked like an honest man.
Faced with Duan Ling Tian’s gratitude, he quickly waved his hand. “We’re both disciples from the same sect. There’s no need to be so polite.” Based on his words, one could tell he was a decent person.
“Junior Brother!” The burly middle-aged man called out to Duan Ling Tian when he saw he was about to leave.
“Yes?” Duan Ling Tian looked at the burly middle-aged in confusion.
“Why don’t I bring you there?” The burly middle-aged man asked.
“It’s alright” Duan Ling Tian knew it was not convenient for the other party. He could see this from the direction the man was heading to so he rejected his good intention.
“Are you sure?” The burly middle-aged man asked hesitantly.
“It’s fine.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled. Then, he turned around and headed in the direction the burly middle-aged man had pointed out to him earlier.
At the same time, a young man who was passing by approached the burly middle-aged man and asked curiously, “Guan Xiu, do you know that Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple?”
Based on the young man’s clothing, he was also a Saint Land disciple.
“No.” Guan Xiu, the burly middle-aged man, shook his head and smiled innocently. “He must be a new disciple who has just arrived at our Saint Land. He didn’t know the direction to our Saint Land disciple’s residence so he came to ask me for directions.”
“Must be? He’s definitely a new disciple who has just arrived at our Saint Land!” The young man said with certainty. “Not only that, but he most likely has been recommended by the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum. The Saint Land’s assessment for the Four Symbols Sanctums’ disciples will only be held after some time. The fact that he arrived early means he’s got a high innate talent. Otherwise, he won’t be recommended by the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum.”
“Personally recommended by the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum? He’s so amazing?” Guan Xiu was a little slow. Although he noticed Duan Ling Tian was wearing the Black Turtle Sanctum’s uniform, he did not think too much about it.
“I really got to hand it to you. It was such a good opportunity but you just passed it up like that! If it were me, I’d definitely try to get close to a genius like that. However, you didn’t even bring him there when he asked you for directions. If you manage to forge some sort of friendship with him, you might be able to benefit from him for your whole life!” The young man said exasperatedly to Guan Xiu as he looked at him.
“Can we still be considered friends if I’m so calculative?” It was clear that Guan Xiu did not agree with the young man’s words.
“Guan Xiu, go chase after him. There’s still a chance for you.” The young man glanced at the silhouette in the distance before he reminded Guan Xiu.
“No!” Guan Xiu was stubborn. “I won’t make friends with someone based on such reasons. We can’t be considered friends if I approach him with such intentions!” He left as soon as he finished speaking.
“What a fool!” Seeing how ungrateful Guan Xiu was, the young man cursed exasperatedly.
After about 15 minutes, Duan Ling Tian finally arrived at the Saint Land disciples’ residence.
The Saint Land disciples’ residence was not separated into various grades and levels. For this reason, there was no fight.
The Saint Land disciples’ residence was situated inside a vast valley.
The Saint Land disciples’ houses, on the other hand, were numerous little courtyards situated around the valley. There were plants in the little courtyards along with a stone table and a few stone stools. Behind the little courtyard was a standalone stone house. The door of the stone house was a stone door. With just one glance, one could tell that the soundproof ability of the houses was very good.
