THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episodes 217-280

Xiao YanXue smiled and said, “This is the first treasure. This was a ten-foot-long Wood of Soul Freezing Sandalwood. This Soul Freezing Sandalwood grew at the top of the snow-covered artik mountain range, and it took several years to grow a mere fraction. With just a small piece in a room, summer will no longer be blazing but cool and refreshing. If a small piece of Soul Freezing Sandalwood was added to the container, the item placed in the container would not rot even after a hundred years! Furthermore, as long as that small piece was placed on one's body, the smell it emitted would repel poisonous insects! It is no exaggeration to call it a treasure!”

“May I know how much the initial offer for this item?” there was an anxious voice. As everyone turned to look, they saw NanGong TianHu from the NanGong Family.

“So it is Second Master NanGong,” Xiao YanXue smiled, “the initial offer of Wood Sandalwood Freezing Soul is 200,000 taels of silver.”

NanGong TianHu then shouted, “Our NanGong family wants this Soul Freezing Sandalwood! We offer 400,000 taels of silver!” Everyone knew that NanGong Le's body was currently in the hands of their enemy. The reason why they were unable to return him to his hometown was due to the warm weather. Even with the best wood and the best preservation method, it was impossible to prevent the body from rotting. If they could have this piece of Soul Freezing Sandalwood, they could place a few pieces of it into a coffin and NanGong Le's body could be transported back to their hometown without rotting. After seeing NanGong TianHu offer a price, those who knew the background did not compete with him. As for the merchant who does not know the background,

After calling three times, the hammer was handed over and the deal worked.

Just when NanGong TianHu wanted to make the payment, Xiao YanXue said, “Second Master NanGong, wait a minute.” NanGong TianHu then raised his head with a questioning look.

Xiao YanXue then said, “NanGong young nobles are young talents and dragons among his peers. It was a pity that heaven was jealous of this talent, and he died prematurely. The Xiao Family also empathizes with your NanGong Family. Since the NanGong Family had successfully bid for this item, this little lady here would make a bold decision and ignore the price of the item. You can take it as a small sign of our Xiao Family. Please don't stand on ceremony, Second Master NanGong. ”

NanGong TianHu could not help but be stunned. He was a straightforward individual and immediately felt a wave of gratitude in his heart. The Xiao Family could have just sent the item directly to them rather than through an auction. But if they choose to do that, then, there would definitely be rumors spreading about how the Xiao Family tried to bind the NanGong Family or that the NanGong Family did not have the money to buy the Soul Freezing Sandalwood. Moreover, their NanGong Family would also not receive such great help for no reason. Now that NanGong TianHu had managed to obtain the Soul Freezing Sandalwood in the auction publicly, it would be very different if Xiao YanXue gave it to him now. The NanGong Family had shown their financial capabilities and no one would say anything if the item was given to them.

A thunderous applause rang out from below the stage. Everyone felt that Xiao YanXue's actions were indeed wise. Not only did he take care of the faces of the NanGong Family, he also made them owe him a favor! Moreover, he did not damage his Xiao Family image and instead showed the generosity of his Xiao Family.

After bowing respectfully, NanGong TianHu no longer stood up at the ceremony and walked down from the stage with the Soul Freezing Sandalwood. At the same time, he immediately sent someone to bring him back to where their NanGong Family currently lives.

After Xiao YanXue watched NanGong TianHu get off the stage, she showed the correct etiquette before turning around and continuing the auction with a smile, “The second item we are about to auction is also found in the article. This is the Millennium Warm Jade. This jade has a mystical function. As long as one wore it, they would not be afraid of the cold even if they only wore a thin shirt in winter. If a martial arts practitioner were to wear it, it would also calm his mind and be beneficial for the development of his inner strength. The initial bid of the Millennium Warm Jade was 500,000 taels of silver. ”

As Ling Chen who was sitting beside Ling Tian heard the words, ‘Millenium Warm Jade’, his body stiffened as he clenched his fists involuntarily. He had heard Ling Tian say that this Millennium Warm Jade was definitely beneficial to his cultivation. While he knew that Ling Tian would definitely make sure that the jade landed in his hands, he was still too anxious from worry.

Other than Ling Tian, the eyes of the other two people also lit up. One of them was Qian ShuiRou whom Ling Tian had observed. The second was someone beyond Ling Tian's expectations, DongFang JingLei.

According to what Ling Tian knew, the World-Defying Hidden Dragon Handbook of the DongFang Family was a mystical cultivation method in the current world. This far surpassed ordinary cultivation methods and one's increasing speed would also be shocking. Therefore, DongFang JingLei should not need this Millennium Warm Jade. But why would he express such joy after hearing that?

A voice then sounded, “600,000 taels of silver!” Ling Tian felt that the voice was familiar and turned to look. It turned out that the one who made the bid was the young master of the Yang Family, Yang Wei. For this rare commodity to come out at such a time, Ling Tian would have let himself down if he had not played Yang Wei.

Ling Tian lifted his board lazily and said in a weak voice, “600.001 taels of silver.” Ling Chen almost laughed out loud at the side.

The crowd immediately broke out in a commotion.

Qian ShuiRou and DongFang JingLei were about to raise their boards to bid. But after hearing Ling Tian's offer, their faces changed and the hand holding the board also landed back.

Xiao YanXue only mentioned the minimum bid but he never mentioned the minimum raise between bids. He originally thought that the famous Great Family present here would definitely not use such a childish joke. Who would have thought that Ling Tian would actually make such an offer? However, he did not break the rules of the auction and it was Xiao YanXue's fault for not giving the minimum raise. Thus, Ling Tian could offer one tael above what the Yang Family had to offer which made everyone present very uncomfortable!

Both Qian ShuiRou and DongFang JingLei knew that the Ling and Yang families would definitely argue. Therefore, the two of them fell into a dilemma. This was definitely a fight between the two families and where they would stand if they involved themselves in this fight. However, the Millennium Warm Jade was something they could not let go of. At the same time, they would definitely be embarrassed if Ling Tian increased their bid by one more tael of silver. If they chose to give up after making an offer, not to mention their unwillingness, wouldn't they become a laughingstock if they lost one tael of silver? But if they chose to fight to the bitter end, how would they have the confidence to defeat the local snakes that had most of their wealth in Sky Bearing? Only the method that young noble Ling used made them goosebumps. With the wealth of the Ling Family, he could definitely raise the price to the point where one of them could not bear it and then suddenly chose to give up. If they were then unable to take the silver after making an offer, wouldn't they be a joke? If that was the case, they probably wouldn't be much better off than XiMen Qing! won't they be a joke? If that was the case, they probably wouldn't be much better off than XiMen Qing! wouldn't they be a joke? If that was the case, they probably wouldn't be much better off than XiMen Qing!

Considering what he did to such a great family like the XiMen Family, it was no wonder that he did such a thing again. While Ling Tian had the wealth to support himself, they might not be able to play insanely with him.

For the first time in his life, Qian ShuiRou felt caution towards someone.

Yang Wei was furious as he glared at Ling Tian with steam coming out of his head. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, “1,000,000 taels of silver!” In fact, Yang Wei did not know the true usefulness of this jade. He just wanted to buy it to make the winter more bearable. Who would have thought Ling Tian would fool him? Thus, he no longer had a retreat route.

Ling Tian calmly grabbed the teacup Ling Chen gave him and said with a smile, “1,000,001 taels of silver.”

At that moment, many of the people present could not help but laugh. Yang Wei's face turned pale as he said, “Is young noble Ling so stingy? Can you only add one tael of silver each time? Didn't you insult your Ling Family name?

Ling Tian then replied while chuckling, “Even if I insult my Ling Family name, it is still one tael more than your Yang Family. Isn't one tael more than your offer? This young noble is already very generous, I originally only intended to increase the bid with copper coins. If your Yang Family is overwhelmed by a single copper coin, I will actually go too far. ”

Yang Wei snorted furiously and shouted again, “I bid 2,000,000 taels of silver!” Behind him, his father had already closed his mouth but was a step too late. Yang Lei's head was already covered in sweat as he thought, My little Ancestor, the Yang Family is already facing a lot of trouble. Moreover, how is the current Ling Tian someone who can offend our Yang Family? Even the XiMen Family who had a bloodline of hundreds of years was reduced to a miserable state by him. Do you really want a knife to be stuck in your chest? You are not even sure about the use of this jade, and you want to spend millions of silver to buy it back just out of anger. If Ling Tian finds trouble with us because of this matter, shouldn't we hand it over obediently? Now that we have faced so much trouble, why do you still have to provoke him? Even if he doesn't look for trouble with us, will your grandfather allow you to spend millions of dollars on a piece of jade?

Ling Tian chuckled and said, “2,000,001 taels of silver.” Yang Wei was already angry to the point that his face was bright red. Just when he wanted to shout another price, a loud slap landed on his face. Yang Wei then stood up with a face full of anger, “Bad kid! Have you played enough? What kind of place is this? Do you even have the right to speak here? A few million taels of silver for a piece of jade? To think you can even act so spoiled! ”

After Yang Lei taught his son a good lesson, they also withdrew from the Millennium Warm Jade competition. However, this instead made Ling Tian depressed, especially the words spoken by Yang Lei as they also implied that Ling Tian was a spoiled brat!

After Ling Tian saw that Qian ShuiRou and DongFang JingLei were interested in the appearance of the Millennium Warm Jade, he had already expected it to be a tight competition. However, Ling Tian did not want to spend too many taels of silver. After all, wouldn't silver be used to support the Xiao Family's forces? Seeing Yang Wei jump out to make a bid, Ling Tian wanted to utilize Yang Wei's stupidity to make him really angry. After raising the price sky-high, he would be able to scare away Qian ShuiRou and DongFang JingLei. Then, he would allow Yang Wei to buy the jade and he would pick it up at a later date.

272

Who knew that while Ling Tian had planned his actions so meticulously, and with a start in his favor, things would change so sharply? He had almost reached his goal, but that old man Yang Lei had actually blocked it! In this case, the price temporarily stopped at 2,000,001 taels of silver. However, for those who knew the true function of the Millennium Warm Jade, this price tag was nothing.

Since when did the Yang family become so ingenious? This young noble is really being played by you! Ling Tian glared at Yang Lei for a moment, but actually received an approaching smile thanks in return! He could not help but be surprised, suddenly realizing that this person was doing so because he was afraid of Ling Tian!

As he understood, Ling Tian could only sigh. This is also called reaping what you sow, right?

On the stage, Xiao YanXue looked at Ling Tian, before announcing, “The price now is 2,000,001 taels of silver, is there another bidder?”

He had just finished his sentence when a clear voice sounded, “3,000,000 tael.” It was Qian ShuiRou. DongFang JingLei actually wanted to say something, but when he saw Ling Tian, he hesitated a few times, finally deciding not to come along.

The opening price of Qian ShuiRou was as good as slapping Yang Lei's face. While the bidding war just now could be considered a competition between two wastage, the opening price of Qian ShuiRou could be considered the true price of jade!

Everyone present set their sights on Ling Tian. They knew that this young master would definitely not let go, but they wanted to know if he would raise it by one tael or by a coin? Even Qian ShuiRou's heart started racing, this person wouldn't try anything funny, right? If so, what should he do?

Ling Tian simply smiled and replied, “Since Big Brother Qian has given a price, then this young noble will also bid.” He seemed to pause for a moment as if considering. Everyone held their breaths, preparing to defeat the legendary 1 tael, and the little hands of Qian ShuiRou clenched.

“4,000,000 taels then. Since the clown is gone, the real bidding should start now. ” Ling Tian winked at Qian ShuiRou and laughed.

Qian ShuiRou could only sigh in relief, his previous worries fading away. While he suddenly seemed to be glaring at Ling Tian loudly for his offer, but in truth, he was thanking her deep down. This made him question his own contradictions, why was he grateful that he was fighting with her? Could it be because he did not summon 3,000,001 taels?

Qian ShuiRou held back his emotions before shouting again, “6,000,000 taels!” As soon as this price was spoken, everyone stared in shock!

Everyone was aware of the rarity of jade being so warm, but in the end it was only a piece of jade the size of a palm, so how could it be worth 6 million taels? This is a silver tael, not 6 million pieces of stone! Is this antidote crazy?

Xiao YanXue was also dumbfounded silly with the offer, because according to his estimation while the warm jade had an incredible effect, it might be worth only around 3 million taels. But now it's doubled! Could it be that there was an unknown magical effect that he was unaware of?

Ling Chen gently pulled on Ling Tian's sleeve, whispering low to him, “Young noble, forget it. Chen’er does not need it.”

Ling Tian laughed at his concern for her, but resolutely shook his head. He had already determined in his heart that Qian ShuiRou would definitely be aware of the true function of this warm jade and that his cultivation should be similar to Ling Chen's, or he would definitely not pay 6 million taels for a piece of jade. . This is a full 2 million higher price! This alone showed his determination to get it.

But also, he could not release this jade, because Ling Chen's heavenly Ice Formula needed this warm jade to proceed to the realm of great success or else he would likely suffer cultivation irregularities! Furthermore, this was also related to the matter of the heavenly Black Negative Meridians Yu BingYan. Thus, this jade was a treasure amongst treasures for Ling Tian! Whatever the price, he'll make sure he gets it!

Ling Tian smiled as he stood up completely, lightly calling out, “Ten million taels !!”

Qian ShuiRou slumped back in disappointment. While he had the intention to continue the bidding war, his finances did not allow him to do so! The entire arena was thrown into chaos. A palm-sized jade, which was rare and strange as possible, was not comparable to the auction price of ten million taels that was as high as the sky! Is this young noble Ling crazy?

DongFang JingLei quietly wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. Fortunately he didn't participate in this offer, or he really wouldn't have a way out of this joke. Looking at Ling Tian's attitude, it seemed like he would be willing to pay whatever the price was. After all, with the current income from the Ling Family, this could be considered just hair on top of an ox, and would definitely not harm their finances in any way!

After asking three times, there was no higher price, and thus the hammer fell. The Millennium Warm Jade now belonged to the Ling Family!

When Ling Tian went to make the payment, Xiao YanXue spoke in a low tone, This Millennium Warm “Giok is not so valuable, why are you bidding in such a large amount? Just to maintain your image, is it worth it?” In his tone there was a slight rebuke.

Ling Tian looked at him strangely, when did this girl really become so concerned about him? Didn't he hate her from the beginning? But he still complied with whispering back, “This is because I have nowhere else to spend my money, haiz, who asked the Lingkun Family only to have money and nothing else?” Xiao YanXue pursed her lips towards him, so angry that she could not bring out any words.

When Ling Tian picked up the warm jade from Xiao YanXue, he received a pleasant surprise. The moment it came into contact with his hands, he felt a sense of warmth, followed by his heart that suddenly became calm and became very peaceful, as well as a sense of enlightenment. The longer he held it in his hand, the stronger this feeling, which made him exclaim in praise. The spiritual treasures of heaven and earth are indeed different! These ten million were well spent, even if he added another ten million, it was still worth it!

As he returned to his seat, he handed the warm jade into Ling Chen's hands. Ling Chen was overjoyed and carefully placed it inside his chest. In his happiness, he could not help but give a kiss on Ling Tian's face. Then he recovered his wits, and realizing what he had just done in the middle of the audience, he immediately buried his face into Ling Tian's chest in embarrassment.

Qian ShuiRou, however, was filled with heartache. To think that this fellow actually spent a sky-high price to buy the warm jade that was so important to him, only to get a smile from his lover. But this cruel attitude of his playboy really made him miss out on a precious cultivation opportunity! How hated!

Xiao YanXue looked at Ling Chen who was on Ling Tian's lap, and a strange expression appeared on his face but was quickly hidden. After coughed twice, he continued, The third “Item that displayed our auction today was also discovered by our three potion pickers, and it was original from the article, two Ice Fire Lotus! Both are also spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, and if handled properly, can revive a person on the last breath of his life. This was indeed a lifesaver worth the price needed to obtain it. The price starts from 600,000 taels, and each increment should be at least 10,000 taels!”

Ling Tian laughed at himself, Women are really shortsighted, I just teased you but you have already turned around for revenge! However, it is a pity that you missed one other function. This Ice Flame Lotus can also be used to produce a Great Cycle Pellet, allowing all my brothers to experience increased cultivation for their heavenly Shock Dragon Formula! This will allow for an increase in strength for my Ling Family and can further cure Yu BingYan's illness! No need to think any further! Ling Tian immediately made an offer of 2,000,000 taels.

While the original price of Ice Fire Lotus might be able to reach up to 4,000,000 taels, no one dared to make a sound after Ling Tian bid. Everyone could see at a glance that this person had the look of someone who had nowhere else to spend their money, and if they wanted to compete with him, wouldn't it just ask for trouble? Not only would they benefit the seller, but they would also offend the Ling Family, and the Xiao Family would not even bother to thank them for their contributions! Furthermore, such a thing was absurd and mysterious, with the actual method of use still unknown, and thus no one dared to compete. Xiao YanXue shouted three times, and could only hit the hammer, scolding furiously in his heart, How evil is this bastard star! However,

Seeing how Ling Tian bought the two treasures as if he was possessed, everyone became afraid of him. If this person continued like this, wouldn't all treasures end up in his hands? Chances were that they could not fight him, they were unable to antagonize him, and they also could not defeat the family that was referred to as the ‘Luck God Sky Carrier’. Then wouldn't this auction turn into a private auction for the Ling Family?

The fourth item that was brought onto the stage fascinated everyone. Quiet Gem Blue Sky, this is not only magical in name, but in reality! Just by placing it on the table, it gives off the color of the rainbow, and following the change of the light source, the gem will brighten and extinguish by itself. Although lifeless, it gives people the impression that it is constantly moving, constantly changing angles to give the brightest light. Even an inexperienced person can say that this is a priceless gem!

The base price starts from 800,000 taels of silver.

However, when this price was reported, no one let out a sound even after a long time, as they all assumed that Ling Tian would definitely not let this go as well!

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Ling Tian seemed to have no intention, instead engaging in a conversation with Ling Chen, as if he did not care about this Sky Blue Calm Gem. Even Ling Chen's demeanor was shocking, as such gems were usually a fatal attraction to women, even to Qian ShuiRou, but Ling Chen acted as if he hadn't even seen him! Could he be weird?

Seeing this scene, everyone let out a sigh of relief. A wealthy merchant started the bidding with a million taels of silver, followed by all the aristocratic families joining. The price surged higher and higher, with Yang Wei finally buying it at a sky-high price of 12,000,000 taels of silver. He could not help but suggestively glance at Ling Tian.

273

Ling Tian sighed and revealed a disinterested expression. While the Sky Blue Quiet Gem was indeed a precious treasure or perhaps even a priceless treasure, it was nothing more than a sparkling stone in Ling Tian's eyes. Or perhaps a more accurate description is a sparkling gem. However, regardless of whether it was a gem or a stone, Ling Tian was not interested at all. In Ling Tian's heart, this Quiet Sky Blue Gem could not even compare to the bread in his hand. At the very least, the bun could be used to satisfy his hunger. As for this Sky Blue Tranquil Gem, other than keeping it at home to attract the robbers, it was of no use anymore! To think that Yang Wei would still treat him like a treasure. However, he did not realize that he was just bringing a pile of dynamite home. As for Ling Chen, though,

“The fifth treasure is the South Sea Sandalwood Pearl the size of a fist!” From Xiao YanXue's bright smile, it was clear that he was very satisfied with the price of the Sky Blue Quiet Gem.

“500,000 taels of silver!” Before Xiao YanXue could even make an initial offer, a calm voice sounded and a green-clothed man stood up slowly. With an expressionless expression on his face, he said, “Sorry, but I only have 500,000 taels of silver. However, I will definitely obtain these South Sea Sandalwood Pearls. ”

The appearance of this green-clothed man was too ordinary. He was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin and did not even have any distinctive features on his face. He was an individual who would definitely be ignored if he was placed in the middle of the crowd. After a closer look, people will realize that it is difficult to estimate the actual age. From the way this green-clothed man looked, it was not strange to say that he was 20 or 30 years old. But at the same time, it seemed like he was 40 or 50 years old.

Ling Tian breathed in a breath of cold air! Ling Tian who had originally intended to bid on this item also changed his mind. Ling Tian could already recognize the green-clothed man; he was a mysterious martial arts expert outside Thea Smoky Tower. So it turns out he's here too!

To think that such otherworldly experts also wanted to obtain these South Sea Sandalwood Pearls! If that was the case, he would have had his own use for the pearl. Furthermore, he had already shown the determination he had to obtain the pearls. Ling Tian predicted that regardless of who got the pearl in the end, that person would definitely not be able to keep it. The green-clothed man's words were akin to telling the others that he only had 500,000 taels of silver but wanted the South Sea Sandalwood Pearl at an exorbitant price. In other words, this green-clothed man had no choice but to take it.

How could Ling Tian be foolish enough to offend this expert for the sake of pearls? Thus, Ling Tian remained silent.

“Hahaha... Where did this poor man come from? He actually thought that he could buy a South Sea Sandalwood Pearl for just 500,000 taels of silver? Is he daydreaming?” Voices of ridicule can be heard, “I offer 1,000,000 taels of silver!”

Without looking, Ling Tian could guess that no one other than the stupid Yang Wei would say something so insulting. At the same time, he thought to himself, This person is truly the disaster of the Yang Family! As long as there was a problem, he would definitely be there to stir it up. This person is someone that even this young noble is incapable of provoking at this moment, and your Yang Family actually dares to mock him!

Xiao YanXue suddenly said in a cold tone, “The initial offer for the South Sea Sandalwood Pearl is 1,500,000 taels of silver! May the young noble Yang pay attention to his words. Everyone present here is a guest of my Xiao Family and should not be humiliated just like that. But ... This customer, there are rules for the auction. If you really need this item and lack silver, you can mention it before the auction. However, YanXue cannot help you at this time, and I can only apologize!”

The green-clothed man looked at Xiao YanXue with a surprised expression and glanced at Yang Wei before replying with ‘Mmm’. He then sat quietly and did not say a word.

Ling Tian then regretted Xiao YanXue's lack of vision. If he could sell the pearl to this green-clothed man for 500,000 taels of silver, the green-clothed man would definitely have a good impression of him. Getting a good impression from such an individual is definitely a rare opportunity! Too bad!

He then looked at Yang Wei pitifully and had given Yang Wei a wreath in his heart.

The matter of the green-clothed man was unimportant throughout the auction and no one thought about it anymore. Qian ShuiRou quickly bid 2,000,000 taels of silver and DongFang JingLei quickly bid 3,000,000 taels of silver when he saw Ling Tian not opening his mouth.

Ling Tian then looked at Qian ShuiRou and smiled while thinking. This girl could also be considered as someone knowledgeable. No matter what this young noble liked, this girl would definitely participate in the bidding as well. This insight alone was enough for Ling Tian to look at it from a different point of view.

As prices soared, the Yang Family was the first to give up bidding for pearls. Only DongFang JingLei and Qian ShuiRou remained in this price war. As Ling Tian observed them from the side, he was sure that they must have realized the true value of the South Sea Sandalwood Pearl. After all, possessing this kind of item was the same as possessing other soul-saving treasures. In addition, it is one that can be reused. Healing a severe illness, wound or deep wound, this South Sea Sandalwood Pearl does have many uses.

However, how did they know that the soul-saving treasure they were fighting for had turned into a life-destroying talisman! Regardless of who got it, that person would definitely visit King Yama! 1 How could someone who was at the peak of martial arts be such a friendly character?

Ever since the green-clothed man opened his mouth, the South Sea Sandalwood Pearl was nothing more than a life-destroying talisman in Ling Tian's eyes. As he watched Qian ShuiRou and DongFang JingLei fight over the item excitedly, Ling Tian shook his head and sighed.

Finally, Qian ShuiRou obtained a pearl with a sky-high price of 18,000,000 taels of silver. He then sighed in relief and revealed a smile on his face. Ling Tian then shook his head and thought, Is there really a need for you to be so happy? You just spent 18,000,000 taels of silver to buy yourself a trip to hell.

“Sixth treasure is a piece of Black Iron that weighs 175 kati.” Xiao YanXue then smiled brightly and said, “The initial offer is 1,000,000 taels of silver. Everyone should know that Black Iron is a treasure in forging weapons. As long as three taels were added to the weapon, ordinary weapons would immediately turn into holy weapons, slicing through metal like clay.”

As Xiao YanXue said that, the entire hall became silent and not a single person made an offer! All of their faces also turned strange.

Everyone knew that although Black Iron was a good material and that Xiao YanXue did not exaggerate in the slightest, it was impossible to melt this top grade Black Iron. With his smelting method that was lost hundreds of years ago, how could a heavenly weapon be made from it? If it could not be used, what was the point of buying a useless piece of Black Iron? Should they buy it to use as a pillow?

A while later, everyone was still silent and Xiao YanXue started to reveal a trace of her anxiety. As the host of this auction, if they had items that could not be auctioned off, it was extremely embarrassing for the host and they would definitely become a laughing stock. For them to pick up something they thought was valuable but no one wanted to bid for nothing more than a joke!

Xiao YanXue's gaze then landed on Ling Tian. He was very clear that this Black Iron was here to test Ling Tian. However, Xiao YanXue only saw Ling Tian peel the skin of the grapes and send it to Ling Chen's mouth. From start to finish, Ling Tian had never seen Xiao YanXue before, and it was clear that young noble Ling was not interested in Black Iron at all.

Xiao YanXue's heart completely sunk. How shameful! He then could not help but blame his grandfather, Xiao FengHan, in his heart. Why should he make me bring this item to Sky Bearing? How could that Ling Tian brat have the ability to use it? See it? We are now a joke!

Sighing deeply and seeing that no one was willing to bid, Xiao YanXue wanted to declare the item unsold. However, he heard a soft voice at this moment, “How can such a good item be ignored like that? This lowly concubine offered 1,100,000 taels of silver. ”

Xiao YanXue felt relieved as if a burden was lifted off his shoulders. Someone finally made an offer.

When everyone turned to look at the owner of the voice, they were all shocked. The owner of the voice was a middle-aged woman who still retained her charm and elegance. He was the owner of Thea Smoky Tower, Gu XiYan. Gu XiYan then said with a smile, “It just so happens, our Smoky Thea Tower lost its treasure to become the symbol of our tower. Since sister Xiao sent this Black Iron to us, I really have to thank you for it. This lowly concubine has limited funds and I hope that all the nobles present will give this lowly concubine a chance. I hope you all will not fight with me for this item and this lowly concubine will thank you all in advance. ”

Xiao YanXue looked at Gu XiYan with gratitude in her eyes. Gu XiYan was only the owner of the restaurant and this piece of Black Iron was clearly useless to him. However, he was willing to spend over a million taels of silver to help him out of this situation. Therefore, Xiao YanXue's heart was deeply touched and wished that she could give this piece of Black Iron to Gu XiYan for free. Furthermore, as the boss of a restaurant, he had a calm demeanor and was able to show face to everyone present here today. That is something rare!

“Item last will start from one tael of silver without minimum increase.” Seeing that Gu XiYan had sent someone to bring the Black Iron piece off the stage, Xiao YanXue made a shocking statement.

“One tael silver? No minimum increase? What kind of item is it?” someone asked curiously.

The moment Ling Tian turned around, he immediately realized that the person speaking was the same person who played with Xiao YanXue at the beginning of the auction. Ling Tian then smiled and thought, Indeed as I thought, he played with her!

Xiao YanXue then smiled, “This treasure is the sect master sword Above Heaven from a thousand years ago, Heavenly Separator! For the past thousand years, there has always been a legend that heaven-shaking secrets are hidden inside this ‘Color’ Share! The one who can obtain this sword will be able to grasp this secret and become the ruler of the world!”

As if Xiao YanXue's voice was like thunder, everyone present was extremely shocked by his words! There were many who even instinctively stood up after hearing the words ‘Color’ Share!

Heavenly Separator! Thinking that the Heavenly Separator is here!

278

After the first exchange, Ling Tian suddenly let out a strange posture in the air: The waist was bent, the legs were in a bent shape and his hands were stretched out in the same striking position as before. His entire body seemed to have turned into an arc, spinning like a pinwheel. He actually did not land, instead rising once more, even higher than his previous height!

From the side, Yu BingYan cleverly looked at Ling Tian's hands and feet facing the same direction, forming a sort of ellipse, and using the power generated by his muscles, he pushed himself up once more. In the air, he took the same position from the feet up, hands down, and like a shooting star rushed towards Yu ManTian!

Exactly the same step, but with additional momentum into the equation!

A fiery and passionate gaze was seen from Yu ManTian's eyes. With a loud shout, he rushed up to meet her, both of his hands on it as he leaped upwards to face Ling Tian head-on. Exactly the same step, Three Palms Supporting Heaven! This was because Ling Tian's unique skill locked onto Yu ManTian's current position, and only the abstruse and profound Three Palms skill could resist his movements!

Of course, if one did not care about their identity, they could curl up and get out of his reach. However, Yu ManTian was a reputable XianTian realm expert, with his own pride. How could he do something so shameless?

“Hong!” Another earth-shattering sound enveloped the area. Ling Tian's courtyard looked like grass in the midst of a typhoon, with their surroundings swept away. The dirt on the ground rose into the air, forming something similar to a dust demon. With the sun high in the air, light penetrated, turning the entire scene into a hazy patch of yellow!

Yu ManTian howled furiously, clapped his hands on both sides of the ground, and relied on the strength of the opponent to push himself off the ground. He knew that he had already been harmed, and thus immediately reacted to jump out of his current position. However, he had just done so when he felt a gust of wind above his head. Ling Tian's third palm strike had already shot towards him! Yu ManTian had the impression that the weight of the entire sky was behind Ling Tian this time as he slapped viciously!

This time, there was no escape. Even if he was willing to throw his face away to roll over, it was impossible. Yu ManTian gathered up the rest of his miserable energy, and let out a strange, inhuman growl as he raised his hand for the third time to meet Ling Tian!

This attack could be said to be the strength of the first two attacks added together! Before they touched, Yu ManTian had already felt a stinging pain in his palm, as if the wind was cutting through it! The three attacks and Ling Tian's body had actually not touched the ground even once! He was like a huge eagle, spread out his wings and flew freely in the sky, attacking again and again!

This was a skill that was self-created after Ling Tian reached the Ninth layer of his heavenly Shocking Dragon Formula: Combat Nine-Devolutionary Eagle! By exhaling a breath of true energy, then leaping and using the momentum gained from the heights to attack, each movement of this skill encompassed the core of all his body techniques. When the opponent retaliates, the user will then use his strength to further increase their strength! With each retaliation, each attack would be much stronger than the last attack, and on the ninth attack, its strength would be equivalent to more than five times the power of the first attack!

However, the only disadvantage of this skill was that it could only be used against someone of the same standard as the user. If the opponent was too weak, there was no need for even a second blow, and because of the consecutive attacks, one could not give everything for the first strike. Against stronger opponents, if one did not give everything, then how could they survive unscathed?

“Hong!” Another explosion sound once again! Ling Tian floated up like a kite, slowly landing on the ground. With a sweep of his robe, all the dust was swept away by him, revealing. Third Master Yu is nowhere to be seen!

Ling Tian smiled, stroking his nose in satisfaction before going to his own room.

“Where is my third uncle? Why did he leave?” Yu BingYan panicked. The battle just now, how does the record compare? It's like bullfighting! Even before he could see what was happening, Ling Tian had defeated Yu ManTian until he disappeared! What the hell's going on?

“Oh ..” Ling Tian stalled, “Third Master Yu really deserves respect, he even knows about 72 Heavenly Transformations! Right now, he might be a pangolin, who was already playing around deep within the earth!”

“You pangolin, you B *ST *RD!” From deep within the earth came an extremely angry cry. It sounded like Third Master Yu, but with a depressed tone.

It was only then that Yu BingYan discovered that a mysterious hole appeared out of nowhere, which resembled a well, but also a cave…

Could it be that his third uncle is inside? Why did he dig a hole and bury himself in it? Could it be that he had time during the fierce battle to do such a thing?

During the Tian battle, with his current ability, he could only see the first blow, after which his vision was blurred by all the flying dust. He could only see Ling Tian soaring into the sky after each attack, but could not see what his uncle was doing. Even Ling Chen could only get a rough idea of the scenario.

Yu BingYan ran to the mouth of ‘well’ and bowed to look at it. Surprisingly, he found a streak of black grass moving inside and got a huge shock.

With the sound of ‘pu’, Yu ManTian broke free from the ground, jumping out looking completely drenched. He spat out a lump of earth as his eyes spun, trying to find Ling Tian's location.

Yu BingYan sized up Third Master Yu who was climbing out of the deep hole, and involuntarily inhaled a deep breath of cold air. His mouth was wide open in shock.

The hole dug by ‘human’ is actually over ten feet deep! The ground at the bottom turned out to be very moist, as if water was seeping out. The rich smell of soil was smelled from the mouth, and if one continued to dig down another few meters, there might actually be a new well water source!

A fight between two people actually led to the digging of a new well!

Yu BingYan found it surprising as well as funny!

To be honest, right after the fight, Ling Tian had walked several times around this hole, and felt that this was actually the perfect place to form a new well. Therefore, he planned to summon some craftsmen and make them open a new well here. He even planned to name it ‘Third Lord's Well’, so Yu ManTian would get fit whenever he saw this cursed thing!

All the family members of the Ling family knew that their land was located on dry and hard ground. However, its depth was at least over a meter, and when Yu ManTian and Ling Tian exchanged their first two moves, they easily pierced through this hard ground. Ling Tian's third strike had actually sent Yu ManTian deep into the earth, instead of wounding him!

“Where is the gigolo?!” Yu ManTian did not seem worse to wear, shouting with a black face, “Little pig! Get out of here for this Third Master! The winner of this battle has yet to be decided, and you want to run away ?! ”

The winner is not determined? Yu BingYan and Ling Chen could not help but laugh. You've been knocked down to earth like a nail, and you want to talk about determining who's the winner?

This could not be blamed on Yu ManTian either. Ling Tian chose the right time to attack for the third time when Yu ManTian was already halfway out of the hole. Therefore, he could only divert half his strength to block Ling Tian, which resulted in his current condition. However, if this was a life-and-death fight, then with his experience, Yu ManTian would use some movement techniques like Eighteen Somersaults of the Swallow to escape from the space lock, instead, and there would not even be a third attack from Ling Tian, let alone knocking him down to earth! While Third Master Yu's cultivation might not be as deep as Ling Tian's cultivation, he would definitely not lose just after three exchanges!

Yu ManTian shouted and rampaged incessantly, making a ruckus until Old Madam Ling rushed over, persuading him to go for tea. Before leaving, Third Master Yu cleared his throat and shouted, “Little boy, how dare you take liberties with this Third Master's nephew. I'll be back to finish the score! ”

Now that he finally got the chance to fight with Ling Tian, how could he let him go? However, he did not realize that this one sentence of his threw his nephew's face out the window…

Ling Tian walked into his study, feeling very excited by the process of the battle just now! Although it was only three attacks, it was the ultimate way how human-to-human fights should be done! Even Yu ManTian himself was secretly pleased.

As he opened the jade box that DongFang JingLei had given him, Ling Tian felt a second wave of excitement. It was indeed a perfectly formed blood red ginseng, even with its roots intact, and even its beard mustache was clearly visible. This was actually a millennium-old Blood Ginseng that had taken human form!

Blood Ginseng is naturally a heaven and earth spirit treasure and will only have the chance to form in a place filled with ginseng plants. While the effect was common in the first thousand years of his lifetime, when the leaves were still intact and the rhizomes were not formed, it was a completely different matter after a millennium! After a thousand years, the leaves will wither and the rhizomes will form as the ginseng begins to dark red in color. After decades, the red color of blood would appear and it could only be considered a Blood Ginseng! At that moment, it could already be considered a spiritual treasure. As for the current Blood Ginseng, Ling Tian estimated that it was impossible for such a display to appear without three to four thousand years!

In his original plan, Ling Tian had only aimed to produce a Great Cyclic Pellet with the ability to raise one's cultivation level by a maximum of five years. Now, with the Ice Flame Lotus as well as the Blood Ginseng, Ling Tian expected the prowess of his Great Cycle Pellet to increase one's cultivation by no less than twenty years!

He laughed happily, raising the Blood Ginseng as if he was holding his newborn child. He then told Ling Chen that, no matter what happened, no one was allowed to disturb him. After giving some instructions, he then rushed into his secret room and isolated himself.

Now that all the potions were gathered, Ling Tian did not want to wait any longer. It is time for the Great Cyclic Pellets to appear!

279

Ling Tian did not leave the secret room for a whole day.

This afternoon and evening, DongFang JingLei of the DongFang Family had bid farewell to the Imperial Family of Sky Bearings and left Sky Bearing. Almost at the same time, the BeiMing Family also left the Sky Bearing.

The head of the NanGong Family had also asked to see Ling Tian but everything was stopped by Ling Chen. Furthermore, all the news coming from the Ling Family Page including the movements of the Yang Family and Qian ShuiRou were suppressed by Ling Chen.

All of this had to wait until Ling Tian came out of his secret room.

At the same time, Yu BingYan and Ling Chen were both worried about Ling Tian as he did not sleep the entire day. So, they alternately paced around the entrance of the secret room. The plates they have prepared are heated repeatedly before being thrown away. More dishes will then be made, reheated, and then discarded.

Ling Chen had a deep cultivation and showed no signs of fatigue despite not sleeping all night. Before this, Ling Tian had also done a similar thing before, entering closed cultivation or refining potions. Therefore, he still felt comfortable regardless of his worries!

On the other hand, this was the first time Yu BingYan had waited for Ling Tian like that and he was filled with worry. Especially after he heard Ling Chen say that Ling Tian was trying to refine a medicine to help cure his heavenly Black Negative Meridian, he was touched to the point that he wanted to cry. However, his Black Negative Meridians were something that even the number one Yu Family in the world could not cure. How could Ling Tian provide a solution? Refining medicine was something that was extremely heavy and burdened one's body. If Ling Tian worked too hard to purify the medicine for Yu BingYan, wouldn't he feel guilty for the rest of his life?

Hiya! Tian’ge silly me! Don't you know that I'd rather stay unhealed for the rest of my life than see danger befall you?

This afternoon and evening, the two women felt as if waiting for a year was filled with Yu BingYan's suffering. At first, they would still chat with each other casually to pass the time. But as time passed, both of their lips became covered as they stared at the entrance of the secret room with worry all over their faces.

In the secret room, Ling Tian had also reached a critical period. In order to refine this top grade Great Cyclic Pellet, Ling Tian felt that he had made enough preparations, preparing a large amount of each potion. Before this, he had even practiced the refining method of the Great Cyclic Pellets with ordinary potions and would be welcomed successfully. Thus, Ling Tian was very confident that he would successfully refine the Great Cyclic Pellet.

However, Ling Tian had never expected that using actual top grade herbs and previous experiments would be so different. Especially for refining the Blood Ginseng and Ice Flame Lotus, while they were extremely complementary to each other, they were also as conflicted as fire and water.

In the process of extracting the other herbal essences, everything went as smoothly as in the previous experiments. Just when Ling Tian confidently placed the Ice Flame Lotus and the Blood Ginseng into the same cauldron and carefully lit the fire, he never expected the potions to contradict each other when heated. The two herbs each took the side of the cauldron with a clear separation between them. Despite trying several times, the situation never changed. Therefore, this gave Ling Tian a headache; if the two herbs did not want to come into contact with each other, how could they join together to form a pill? Furthermore, these two herbs could not be sliced like other herbs. If the spiritual Qi within it disappeared from being sliced, the effect of the pills formed by it would be greatly reduced.

Helpless, Ling Tian could only use the most bumbling method. He controlled the fire with his right hand and held a short dagger made of jade with his left hand, placed it on top of the cauldron and sent his inner qi into the cauldron through the dagger. He then used his inner qi to lock the two herbs and prevent them from separating. However, this method meant that Ling Tian had to suffer!

The biggest taboo of refining pills was the introduction of any metal. The only exception was jade that was not metal. However, items made from jade were extremely fragile and were unable to withstand the large amount of qi within. Furthermore, the cauldron was made of steel and was half a foot thick. When Ling Tian had forged the cauldron, he had only pursued sturdiness and it was naturally extremely large. Now, his inner qi had to pass through the jade dagger to control the cauldron and then pass through the cauldron to control the herbs. Thus, it resulted in a great exhaustion of his inner qi! It was not that Ling Tian did not want to put his palm on the cauldron directly, but if he did, his palm would definitely be charred as the temperature of the cauldron increased. No matter how dense his inner qi was, it was,

But if he were to constantly supply the inner qi into the cauldron, his inner qi would be depleted very quickly. Even with Ling Tian's pure Xian Qi of the ninth stage of the Heavenly Shocking Dragon Formula, he was only able to endure for two hours before exhaustion. At that moment, the two main herbs in the cauldron had just started to merge! Only until the two herbs had spent some time to join each other, with their spiritual qi able to accept each other, would the herbs not repel each other. It would also be the best time for the pill to be formed.

At the same time, the flame cannot be raised and must be maintained at a controlled and balanced level. If one were to rush to form pills, the potions in the cauldron would definitely become ashes!

Ling Tian could no longer retreat!

No matter what, I have to succeed! Ling Tian's eyes remained calm as his inner qi was transmitted steadily. A while later, he began to close his eyes and focus on transmitting his inner qi with his left hand while his right hand controlled the flames. While the scene looked calm and serene, great danger was seething under that calmness!

Four hours have passed…

Six hours ... Ling Tian's forehead was already filled with beads of sweat, and his face had also turned pale.

Twelve hours had passed, and Ling Tian's face was drenched in sweat as his hair stuck to his face in completely wet clothes. At the same time, his face was also unnaturally pale with an unhealthy red color visible on his cheeks. The blood vessels in his temple also started to protrude as he clenched his teeth tightly…

Ling Tian never imagined that the Great Cyclic Pellet would not be fully condensed even after a full 12 hours! After all, he only took four hours during the experiments he conducted. The cauldron was like a bottomless pit, absorbing all the dense XianTian Ling Tian qi with no sign of slowing down.

At this moment, Ling Tian's inner qi was already completely depleted! His vision also became blurred as an unyielding spirit burned in the depths of his heart. Ling Tian then let out a loud roar and sent his last strand of inner qi into the cauldron. His vision turned black and Ling Tian lost consciousness. But just before he lost consciousness, he could faintly smell a strange scent that made Ling Tian sigh in relief.

A while later, Ling Tian started to gradually wake up and the flames under the cauldron had already been extinguished unknowingly. Looking at the cauldron before him, Ling Tian felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Unsure about the results of refining the Great Cyclic Pellet, Ling Tian did not even have the courage to open the pill cauldron.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Tian calmed himself down and sat down slowly. Only then did he realize that his entire body was extremely weak with no strength left in his body. Laughing, he thought, Even if I really fail, I should at least know the result. How can I, as a man, act in such a wishful manner?! Without any further hesitation, Ling Tian extended his right hand and raised the cauldron lid. After which, the cauldron slowly opened and a dense aroma spread throughout the room. Ling Tian then felt his entire body become light as if strength was seeping through his limbs.

At the bottom of the cauldron, over a hundred red-colored pills the size of a bean were lying quietly. They were all round and transparent, sparkling like diamonds. A strange fragrance came out from the pill and one would feel a wave of relaxation filling it up just by smelling its scent.

I finally succeeded! Ling Tian closed his eyes and felt a huge burden being lifted off his shoulders with hysterical excitement breaking in his heart. At this moment, Ling Tian almost felt like singing.

These pills in front of him represented the fact that Ling Tian's invincible army would be born into the world! With the strength of Ling Jian and the others, as long as they consumed the Great Cycle Pellet, it would definitely add to their strength for twenty years! At that time, their personal strength was definitely unrivalled in the world! Apart from a few others, they would be invincible!

During such a critical moment when the war was about to break out, the ability to increase strength abruptly made Ling Tian feel as if there was nothing else to look out for!

Ling Tian then quickly took out the jade bottle he had prepared earlier and placed the Great Cycle Pellet into it carefully. Only after he sealed all the bottles and made sure there was nothing left in the cauldron did he sigh in relief. At that moment, he felt exhaustion hitting him with full force and almost fell asleep on the spot. Ling Tian then quickly stabbed himself in the thigh to wake himself up. This was definitely not the time to sleep but the best time to recover his inner qi.

Taking out the Great Cyclic Pellet, Ling Tian sat cross-legged on the floor and started circulating his heavenly Dragon Surprise Formula. At first, he felt that his inner core was completely empty and could only feel a hint of deep qi swimming around his meridians. The speed of the inner qi gradually grew faster as it completed the full cycle in an instant. All the inner qi left in his meridians was then swept away completely as it formed a huge current that surged in his inner core. Ling Tian could clearly sense that he had made significant progress in his inner qi after being exhausted today!

Right at the moment his inner qi reached its peak, Ling Tian placed the Great Cycle Pellet in his mouth and felt a cold pill descend down his throat. Shortly after, a warm and powerful stream exploded in his inner core! Waves of unblocked medicinal effects rose from his inner core and permeated his entire body, making him feel as if his entire body was on fire.

Ling Tian then tried his best to control his inner qi to guide the source of this powerful medicinal effect according to the circulation path of his heavenly Shocking Dragon Formula.

With a loud bang, Ling Tian felt as if his entire body was completely on fire! The hair ties on Ling Tian's head also exploded as his long black hair shot up into the air and a powerful force burst out from his body. At the same time, the white robe on Ling Tian's body also exploded into pieces and he was completely naked!

As Ling Tian guided the powerful medicinal effects of the Great Cyclic Pellet, he tried to combine it with his own inner qi but to no avail. The moment the two forces touch each other, they will instantly separate as if they were opposite poles of a magnet.

If that's the case, let me hone myself! Thinking of this, Ling Tian's eyes suddenly reddened and strengthened his heart, circulating all of his inner qi to attack the tenth stage of the heavenly Shocking Dragon Formula!

A day and night had passed, but the secret room had no sound or movement, causing Ling Chen and Yu BingYan to be filled with anxiety! After all, it should only take a short period of time for his experiments. However, they could not try to enter for fear of disturbing him and could only wait outside. They had cried until there were no tears left, and they were only left with self-deprecation.

The door of the secret room suddenly opened with a clacky voice, and the eyes of the two women suddenly widened. They saw the door open a gap, followed by a head full of disheveled hair poking out. Who is this guy? The two women jumped up and screamed in fear.

A bitter smile appeared on the concerned face. Who else besides Ling Tian?

“Tian’ge, what... are you okay? How did you become like this?” After the initial shock, Yu BingYan finally recognized him, and while she was feeling calm, she realized that something was wrong somewhere, and inevitably asked.

“Young nobleman ..” A warm feeling appeared in Ling Chen's eyes. He had heard Ling Tian mention that refining pellets was a dangerous task, and this day and night felt like an eternity of slow torment for Ling Chen. He regretted that he did not insist on following his young noble to help him! Many times he considered breaking down the stone door to enter, but was afraid of the consequences and held back. Now that Ling Tian was safe and sound, he felt full of excitement but was unable to say a word.

“Oh, Chener, don't panic. I just litter my clothes.” Ling Tian seemed to have more to say but stopped there. “Help me get a new set of clothes, I will change before meeting you two.”

The two women were already euphoric at the sight of his presence. What else would they care about what he said? With a uniform scream, they threw themselves at the door and her naked body.

Ling Tian helplessly raised his head to lament the sky: I have been completely exposed, now this is what it means for one's reputation to be in vain! I can't believe how both of them can be so emotional! His chest was already hot and wet with all their tears.

“AHH!” After a brief emotional moment, the two women discover that something is different, and look down. The two fallen heaven beauties blushed so red that they looked like monkey buttocks, and they immediately covered their eyes with their hands, rushing out as if they had seen a ghost!

“Chen’er, don't forget about my clothes ..” Big young nobleman Ling was left standing there with a flushed face, his hands covering an important part as he anxiously called out. However, he stopped in the middle of the sentence, when he realized that the two girls were long gone even their shadows were nowhere to be seen.

A sly thought surfaced in his head, and after looking around, he ended up with one hand holding a jade bottle, and, and the other hand gripped the cloth wrapped around his waist as he quietly walked out of the secret room. Haiz, darting in public, 100% sped!

Ling Tian leisurely sat on the chair, gently blowing away his hot tea froth, looking satisfied and relaxed. His hand involuntarily rubbed his stomach while smiling bitterly.

After Ling Chen and Yu BingYan escaped due to the embarrassing sight, the two of them actually agreed to go to the kitchen and prepare something for her. Each subsequent dish was made personally by the women, and the two of them sat beside him as they watched him eat, as if it was a once-in-a-lifetime beautiful sight.

Not too many and not too few, a total of eight dishes. Ling Chen and Yu BingYan both made four dishes, and each dish was extremely plentiful, piling up in piles, as if they were afraid their dinner guests would not be full.

Thus, this food was, of course, extremely painful for Ling Tian!

Whichever plate he picked up more, he would immediately be greeted with an arrogant look from the other party. The eight platters seemed to have become a battleground where the two women were fighting to become the ultimate victor. Ling Chen was naturally familiar with Ling Tian's tastes, and thus the ‘fish sweet and sour’ mas he made were extremely delicious without words. Ling Tian subconsciously finished the dish at once, which almost caused Little Miss of the Yu Family to shout in frustration. Therefore, he had no choice but to send ‘ pig ears in soy sauce’ to his stomach. However, how much hope do you have for the girl who grew up in a noble family? Ling Tian just needed to smile and bear it, and with each successive dish, it was one of beautiful and vibrant flavors, followed by a tearful experience, she said,

There was no other alternative, and when the two women happily picked up the plate and left, our poor young noble, Ling, was left there with a bulging belly like a football. He could not help but roll his eyes at them, but also repeatedly praised their cooking, saying that he could eat a few more dishes with such delicious food!

Seeing Ling Tian was already full, Ling Chen went to the study room to gather all the reports and intelligence and rushed over. This seemed to make Ling Tian forget the pain from his split stomach, and as he stared at the report, his face became firm and worried.

This was because Ling Tian realized that he was not only a warrior and a leader but also spiritual support for all of his subordinates! Whether it was an issue that could not be resolved for them or an issue that required clarification, they would all send it to its place to await its decision. While such a system might seem like it was united and tight, it was also extremely weak, as the entire group would be destroyed the moment something happened to him!

This was because in the end everyone was relying on him. What would happen if he disappeared one day? If something like a few days ago happened again, and he was busy and unable to deal with any problems, then what would happen? Other than him, there needed to be someone who could step up and handle his position!

It was a lucky thing that nothing big happened, and after half a day, he managed to get it all done. However, from a different point of view, what would happen if it was a matter of life and death? If there was a sudden power struggle in the continent, what would happen? As experts fought, even slight differences became apparent, this phrase could not be more appropriately used here!

Considering all this, Ling Tian broke out in a cold sweat! Although he tends to be responsible, he is still human after all. As a martial artist, he had to take the time to cultivate and analyze his own understandings. As the soul of his army, he also could not avoid going to the battlefield. All of this would definitely affect the way he handled his documents, and in an urgent scenario, this harmless flaw would actually add up to form a life-threatening wound!

Such a situation must be changed! But what should be the turning point?

Or a better way to say it, what are the important factors that need to be changed?

Ling Tian stood up and paced back and forth. He suddenly ordered in a serious tone, “Chen’er, tell all the heads in my organization, please, as well as their second commander to drop everything they had and rush to the Ling Family Courtyard within two days. Those who fail to do so, cut off their heads!”

Ling Chen immediately straightened up and replied respectfully, “Yes, young noble!” This was the first time Ling Tian had sent out an order with the words ‘Those who failed to do so, beheaded them’. Ling Chen saw something unusual, and thus did not dare to stay, rushing to his room to send out an order.

Yu BingYan also felt the atmosphere of the room slightly change, and seeing the stern expression on Ling Tian's face, she quietly remained in the corner, not daring to let out a sound.

Ling Tian furrowed his brows as he played with a small piece of paper. From the news received, he realized that while news from outside his city was decreasing, the number within his city was increasing. Of all these little intelligence documents, Ling Tian could already smell the approaching storm!

Each influential power was extremely cautious, carefully minimizing their actions in defending their kingdom without showing the true strength of their troops. Every kingdom does not involve itself in large-scale military activities, but rather goes about their daily affairs on an ordinary basis.

However, Ling Tian cleverly discovered that every great power was secretly augmenting the troops in their country, and each of them also brought their common goal. The important point was that all these elite soldiers seemed to be gathered at one point on the continent: Sky Bearing!

The central point of the Heavenly Star Continent, Sky Bearing was the only place that governed the fertile plains instead of the mountainous regions, with abundant rations and satisfied cultivators. Now it seemed like greedy kings from all different kingdoms in all directions were eyeing this chubby piece of meat!

The prosperity and decline of Sky Bearings was something that concerned the direction where worldly affairs would go and was also the place most sought after by soldiers. Since time immemorial, there is a saying, “If one wants to conquer all that is under the heavens, he must defeat Sky Bearing first. Before conquering Sky Bearing, everything else will be difficult!”

Judging from the unease of all the other countries, these ambitious people seemed to be unable to hide themselves any longer! Of course, with the appearance of the Heaven Splitter, it was already enough of a catalyst to increase the speed that led to an exploding war!

Ling Tian let out a long breath.

Ling Chen entered from outside, standing behind him, quietly standing there.

“About Ye BaiFei,” Ling Tian waved the note she held, “What happened?”
