Chapter 3824: Sowing Discord

Hua Tian Du grinned when Duan Ling Tian agreed to address him by his name. Then, he said, “Duan Ling Tian, it seems like we made the right choice staying here. The Flying Dragon Sect didn’t disappoint us.”

“It seems like you’re very confident,” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile. He naturally knew Hua Tian Du was talking about the Imperial War.

“That’s right,” Hua Tian Du said confidently as he nodded, “In the Flying Dragon Sect, there isn’t anyone below the level of a Lord of Gods who’s a match for me except for you.”

After a brief pause, Hua Tian Du asked with a smile, “Duan Ling Tian, are you interested in joining forces with me? Together, we’ll definitely dominate the King Battlefield.”

Duan Ling Tian realized that this was likely the reason why Hua Tian Du had approached him today.

“Why me? There are a few Kings of Gods whose comprehension of the law is about the same as mine.”

Although Duan Ling Tian and Hua Tian Du were undoubtedly the most outstanding participants of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest, there were a few participants who were quite outstanding as well. Moreover, their comprehension of the law was quite high.

The people of the Flying Dragon Sect thought that Duan Ling Tian had comprehended all the triple Fused Profundities from the law of space. Little did they know, he was still holding back.

“In any case, there’s still some time before the war begins. Who knows I might be able to break through and become a Lord of Gods by then?” Duan Ling Tian said with a smile.

The corners of Hua Tian Du’s lips twitched upon hearing these words. He was not even confident he would be able to become a Lord of Gods within five years even if he had consumed the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill. After all, the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill only helped one to get rid of the bottleneck. It would still take a lot of time and effort to cultivate to the point where the bottleneck was. He was only confident he would be able to become a Lord of Gods within 100 years. One could imagine how he felt when Duan Ling Tian said he might be able to become a Lord of Gods within five years.

“Very well. I look forward to your reply,” Hua Tian Du said with a polite smile. In his heart, he knew that Duan Ling Tian had refused his invitation. Embarrassed by the refusal, he left shortly after exchanging a few more words with Duan Ling Tian.

Duan Ling Tian could see the thoughts in Hua Tian Du’s mind, but he did not explain himself. In his opinion, if he was able to become an advanced King of Gods soon, it was not impossible for him to become a Lord of Gods within five years. Apart from that, he had no intention of joining forces with anyone during the Imperial War. After all, if others were with him, he would not be able to use his full strength when fighting. Moreover, the loot he obtained from the kill would have to be shared if he had teammates.

At this moment, a mission caught Duan Ling Tian’s eyes. A White Dragon Elder was searching for a certain king-grade Limit Divine Pill. Coincidentally, he had refined the pill the White Dragon Elder needed before he left the Linghu clan. The king-grade Limit Divine Pill could heal injuries on Heavenly Veins that were caused by qi deviation.

In fact, cultivators could heal injuries to their Heavenly Veins themselves, but it would be too time-consuming. The time needed was enough for one to raise one’s cultivation base. For this reason, many people preferred to heal them with Divine Pils.

Duan Ling Tian had refined this type of king-grade Limit Divine Pills in the past simply because it was one of the most difficult pills to refine and he wanted to test his skills.

When Duan Ling Tian looked at the reward for the mission, he was slightly surprised. ‘The White Dragon Elder is willing to give 10,000 contribution points for the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill?’

Members of the Flying Dragon Sect could obtain various cultivation resources and rare medicinal herbs that could only be exchanged for using contribution points. This was a way for the Flying Dragon Sect to motivate its members.

Prominent divine artifacts were among the things that could only be exchanged for using contribution points in the Flying Dragon Sect. If the sect discovered one had obtained prominent divine artifacts using divine rocks or divine crystals on the sect’s ground, not only would they be punished, but they also would be prohibited from using their contribution points for 1,000 years.

‘A prominent divine artifact cost 5,000 contribution points, but this White Dragon Elder is willing to pay 10,000 merit points for a Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill? It’d be a waste if I don’t accept this mission…’

Normally, the value of the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill could not compare to that of a prominent divine artifact at all. However, due to its rarity,when there was a demand for it, it could fetch a very high price.

With this, Duan Ling Tian joined the queue without hesitation. He waited for about half an hour before it was finally his turn. As soon as he accepted the mission, he completed it.

The elder behind the counter exclaimed, “You have the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill with you?”

Upon hearing this, many people shifted their attention to Duan Ling Tian.

“It’s Duan Ling Tian!”

“He’s the one who’s ranked first in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest?”

“That’s right! He used to be a Revered Elder in the Linghu clan. I heard he’s able to easily refine god-grade Limit Divine Pills. Did he manage to refine the king-grade Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill as well?”

“Impossible! Even the sect leader won’t be able to easily refine such a pill, right?”

“The sect leader is able to refine the Lord Breakthrough Divine Pills so his alchemy skill can’t be weaker than Duan Ling Tian’s!”

Most people doubted that Duan Ling Tian refined the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill.

At the same time, the elder held the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill and asked Duan Ling Tian curiously, “Did you refine this pill?”

“Yes,” Duan Ling Tian replied truthfully with a nod. Naturally, he had overheard the conversations around him. Although he knew many people doubted him, he did not care at all.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s reply, everyone fell silent for a moment as they looked at Duan Ling Tian skeptically.

Finally, a young man dressed in a long yellow robe with golden trimmings said, “Are you sure refined the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill? Why don’t you prove it by refining one here? Otherwise, it’d be difficult for us to believe you. After all, the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill is one of the hardest king-grade Limit Divine Pills to refine.”

Duan Ling Tian only glanced at the yellow-clad young man before he turned to the elder and said, “Elder, can I claim my contribution points now?”

Then, Duan Ling Tian handed the elder his identity token since the contribution points would be transferred into it. The identity token functioned like a bank card back on Earth.

“I’ll transfer them to you immediately,” the elder said before he quickly transferred 10,000 contribution points to Duan Ling Tian’s identity token.

After that, Duan Ling Tian made his way to another corner of the Internal Affairs Pavilion, ignoring the crowd’s suspicious eyes. He planned to exchange for something with the contribution points he just obtained. With his contribution points now, he could even trade for two prominent divine artifacts.

At this moment, the yellow-clad young man scoffed loudly before he said disdainfully, “Duan Ling Tian, you’re a liar! You can’t even prove to us that you’re capable of refining the Vein Recovery Limit Divine Pill, but you expect us to believe that you refined it.”

Duan Ling Tian paused slightly before he continued to walk away. Without turning back, he said indifferently, “Who do you think you are? Why should I prove myself to you? Don’t overestimate yourself. There’ll always be people stronger and faster than you.”

The yellow-clad young man’s expression turned unsightly. His eyes flashed coldly, and his hands were tightly clenched as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

At this moment, a young man who had just arrived not too long ago said with a laugh, “Huang Ting, not everyone cares about you just because you’re Vice Sect Leader He’s disciple. When Duan Ling Tian was in the Hidden Fog Sect, he even killed the direct disciples of two supreme elders. Do you think he’ll care about your identity?”

The frost in Huang Ting’s eyes when he heard the young man’s words. His expression eased as he said, “Xue Jin, do you think I’m unaware that you’re trying to sow discord? If I’m not mistaken, your junior sister is married to Zhong Can, right? I heard Zhong Can’s junior brother was killed by Duan Ling Tian. I’m sorry, but if you want to help them to seek revenge, do it yourself. Don’t think you can use me as your knife.”
