Legend of the Monster
Chapters 185. The Ling Tian Dilemma
After retrieving all the treasures from Zhuge Lao and the other Zhuge clan cultivators, Ling Tian rushed towards the Snow Ape, Xiao Jun and Wei Ziqing. In that place were also people from the Alchemist Association as well as the Ancient Treasure Association.
Ling Tian walked up to the Snow Ape and immediately examined it. Then he put his hand on the chest of the Snow Ape and then immediately circulated the Divine Fire to connect all his bones that were broken due to Zhuge Lao's blow.
In just a few minutes, all the injuries experienced by the Snow Ape had healed. His broken bones were reconnected.
Everyone who was around the place looked in amazement towards Ling Tian. The young man who was only 21-22 years old had possessed an extremely powerful strength capable of defeating Zhuge Lao, an Earth Star seventh stage cultivator.
Even Zhuge Lao remained killed despite already using the Forbidden Black Pill to increase his cultivation to the eighth stage of the Earth Star. Only one word was in everyone's minds for Ling Tian, namely 'Monster'.
Ling Tian looked towards the building of the Alchemist Association and shook his head with a sullen face as he let out a long sigh.
"Leader! We will soon rebuild our destroyed buildings. It might take a few days to return it to its original state," Yun Feilong quickly said as he looked at Ling Tian's sour face.
"Mmmm!"
Ling Tian simply nodded slowly then instantly disappeared and appeared in front of where Xiaohai was cultivating. He waved his hand several times until the Sealing Formation surrounding Xiaohai's body could be clearly seen.
Ling Tian did so so that the people who would rebuild the buildings of the Alchemist Association could find out that Xiaohai was still in that place. After finishing everything, Ling Tian returned to his original place and appeared again in front of Yun Feilong as well as the others.
"Young Master! How about for the time being you all stay at our place until the construction on the Alchemist Association has been completed?" dugu Changfeng asked in a slightly pleading tone.
"Hmmm ... That's a good idea, brother Dugu! I also want to thank you for helping the Alchemist Association when it comes to problems. This debt I will always remember!" reply Ling Tian with a warm smile.
Hearing what Ling Tian had just said, Dugu Changfeng became extremely excited. That was what he had always wanted, which was to have a good relationship with Ling Tian.
"It's our duty to help the Alchemist Association, Young Master! Because we also have a very close relationship with them. I'm sure if today we are facing a problem, surely the Alchemist Association will also help our Ancient Treasure Association."
"Hehehe ... All righty! I won't hesitate anymore, brother Dugu!" Ling Tian laughed softly, then turned his head towards Yun Feilong then gave some Space Rings to him and said, "Use this money to compensate for all the losses the residents suffered as a result of the fight."
"Okay, leader!" asserted Yun Feilong while taking out the Space Ring.
"Then, let's go to brother Dugu's place first!"
Dugu Changfeng then brought Ling Tian and the others to where the Ancient Treasure Association was. He also immediately told the servants to prepare some rooms for all of them.
After that fight, Ling Tian's name grew even more famous in the Primordial City. Everyone keeps talking about him. The girls were very excited and enthusiastic when discussing about Ling Tian, a young man who was very strong and also had a very handsome face.
The atmosphere at the Ancient Treasures Association was getting crowded every day, even though it was not the day of the auction. It was because of the many people from the great clans as well as Sects who were about to meet Ling Tian and wanted to cultivate a good relationship with him.
Ling Tian welcomed them all warmly as long as they intended to be friends with him. Ling Tian thought that this would also be beneficial if one day he needed the help of those people to seek information about the cultivation resources he needed.
For the sake of repaying the kindness of Dugu Changfeng as well as the other members of the Ancient Treasure Association, Ling Tian gave some Clear Cloud Pills that were useful for cultivating them all.
He also established a business relationship with Dugu Changfeng to hold an auction event once a month. Thus the Ancient Treasure Association quickly gained a multiplied profit without having to wait for the annual auction event.
Ling Tian had not forgotten the Primordial City Protective Formation he had destroyed. He rebuilt even stronger Protective Formations than before, capable of withstanding the attack power of an Earth Star seventh stage cultivator. Even such a Protective Formation was still quite difficult to destroy by an Earth Star eighth stage cultivator.
A few days later, the construction on the buildings of the Alchemist Association had been completed. Ling Tian along with the others returned to their respective residences. Xiao Jun and Wei Ziqing started cultivating and practicing again as usual in the courtyard near Xiaohai's place.
Ling Tian also set up a Protective Formation for the Alchemist Association to prevent things from becoming as unwanted as before. He even added even more powerful Defense and Assault Formations from the Eight Trigrams Formation of Yun Feilong and the others.
Inside his room, Ling Tian had made two grains of Nine-heart Milk Pills from the two stalks of Star Spirit Grass that Wei Ziqing had given him.
"Acity ... These two pills are not enough to increase my cultivation anymore. Looks like I have to find more Star Spirit Grass," Ling Tian complained with a pouting face. After thinking for a moment, he walked out of his room to the courtyard where Xiao Jun and Wei Ziqing were practicing.
"Uncle Wei! Roughly how big was the Poison Mist Sect compared to the Sects present in this city?"
Wei Ziqing who was practicing, immediately gasped in shock at Ling Tian's question. He immediately stopped his training and rushed over to Ling Tian, then said slowly, "Young Master! According to the information as well as the investigation I conducted, the Poison Mist Sect is bigger than the Sect that is here."
"What about their strength?" ask Ling Tian again.
"If I don't know for sure about it, Young Master! When my Master fought with the leader of the Poison Mist Sect, he said that their cultivation levels were both on par, which was the sixth stage of the Earth Star. Perhaps the current cultivation level of the leader of the Poison Mist Sect had been at the seventh stage of the Earth Star."
"Hmmm ... If so, it won't be a problem for me!" ling Tian said with a small smile.
"Maybe Young Master can overcome if only the leader of the Poison Mist Sect alone. However, from the results of my investigations all along, I learned that the strongest within the Sect was their Great Elder. If my guess is not wrong, perhaps the cultivation level of that Great Elder has already been at the eighth stage of the Earth Star."
"Hwdnt ... If that were the case, this would be even more troublesome than I thought. However, it was most likely that within the Poison Mist Sect there would be many Star Spirit Grass like the one Uncle Wei had discovered," Ling Tian's inner voice furrowed his brows.
"I have to take a huge risk if I want to increase my cultivation. Right now only the Nine Hearts Milk Pill can do it, because the Clear Cloud Pill is no longer working against my body."
Ling Tian was silent for a while to think about the next step he should take. Because, if what Wei Ziqing said was indeed true that the Great Elder of the Poison Mist Sect had a cultivation level at the eighth stage of the Earth Star, then it would be very dangerous for him.
