The Violet Meteorite Flexible Sword descended and blood sprayed everywhereâŠ
Li Feiâs complexion turned pale.
Although she had killed many wild animals in the Misty Forest, she had never once killed a person.
Now that a well and alive person was killed right in front of her eyes, it caused her to feel disgusted and she ran aside to vomit.
Putting away the Violet Meteorite Flexible Sword, Duan Ling Tian extended his hand and removed He Zu Daoâs Spatial Ring.
After biting open his index finger, he dripped blood on the ring to establish ownership.
Hiss!
A feeling of being joined by blood descended upon him. Duan Ling Tianâs face couldnât help but curl into a smile.
Possessing Rebirth Martial Emperorâs lifetime worth of memories allowed Duan Ling Tian to use the Spatial Ring like how he directed his armâŠ
âF**k, so small!â
When his thoughts entered into the Spatial Ring, he saw that there was a mere one cubic meter of space. He was dazed for a moment before he couldnât stop himself from shouting in vulgarities.
âYouâre the He Clanâs Supreme Elder, but youâre actually using the lowest grade Spatial Ring.â
As he said this, Duan Ling Tian glanced in contempt at He Zu Daoâs body.
It was imaginable that if He Zu Dao wasnât dead, he would certainly be angered to the point of spitting bloodâŠ
âNever mind, Iâll just improvise.â
Duan Ling Tian didnât wear the Spatial Ring on his hand but instead kept it in his pocket.
The Spatial Ring wasnât something that could be exposed in public.
Only once he steps into the Core Formation Stage and becomes a weapons craftsman, he can alter the Spatial Ringâs outer appearance; only then could he publically use the Spatial Ring.
âHow is this the He Clanâs Supreme Elder? Heâs virtually a pauper! Besides a few Grade Seven Gold Injury Pills and a few cultivation methods ond martial skills, there is actually only a bit over 100 silver of spare changeâŠâ
After examining the items inside the Spatial Ring, Duan Ling Tian couldnât help but mock him.
Duan Ling Tian, however, didnât know that as the He Clanâs Supreme Elder, He Zu Dao had an extraordinary status.
If he wanted money, the He Clan would spare no effort to fulfill his request, so he didnât have a need of keeping silver on his body.
His face represented an enormous wealth.
Following this was destroying the corpse and obliterating all tracks.
Duan Ling Tian lit a fire and directly burned He Zu Daoâs corpse.
âWhereâs the Snow Pythonâs nest?â
After looking for a long while, Duan Ling Tian was unable to locate the Snow Pythonâs nest. His treasure hunt completely came to nothing.
âDamned He Zu Dao, not to mention you yourself are poor, you even destroyed the Snow Pythonâs body to such an extent⊠The Blood Explosion Inscription, you were actually willing to use it!â
Looking at the Snow Pythonâs badly destroyed body, Duan Ling Tian had a pained expression.
As the king of the fierce beasts, the Snow Pythonâs entire body was filled with treasures, but it was completely destroyed by He Zu Dao.
âEh?â
Just at this moment, Duan Ling Tianâs eyes shone.
On the Snow Pythonâs body, a white ball that flickered with a faint brilliance floated up.
âBeast Core?â
Duan Ling Tianâs breathing became rapid. He didnât expect that the Snow Pythonâs Beast Core was actually completely unharmed.
Just when he walked out and wanted to fetch the Beast Core.
The smile on his face froze completely.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two little pythons flashed out, quickly dividing and consuming the Snow Pythonâs Beast Core.
âNever mind. Even if I took the Beast Core, I would have no use it for it in the near future. I might as well let them take it.â
Duan Ling Tian quickly got over it.
A human was unable to directly consume a fierce beastâs Beast Core.
If consumed, the lighter consequence would be qi deviation, whereas the heavier consequence would by death by explosion.
Humans could only use fierce beast Beast Cores as medicinal catalysts; only after being combined with other valuable medicinal materials to refine into a medicinal pill can they be consumed.
A Beast Core of a formidable fierce beast like the Snow Python that was comparable to a Nascent Soul martial artist would at least require a Grade Seven Alchemist to refineâŠ
Grade Seven Alchemist.
To Duan Ling Tian, it was quite a distance away.
After burning the Snow Pythonâs corpse as well, Duan Ling Tian brought Ke Er and Li Fei along as he left the Misty Forest.
On the way back.
âThat Spatial RingâŠâ
Li Fei looked at Duan Ling Tian with a spurious smile.
Duan Ling Tian glared as he said, âDonât get any ideas about the Spatial Ring, itâs mine.â
âIâm not. Even if I had any ideas about it, it would be of no use. Iâm just curious⊠If someone knew you had that Spatial Ring, what would happen?â
Li Feiâs charm-filled eyes flickered with a faint smiling expression.
âAre you threatening me?â
Duan Ling Tianâs eyes narrowed as the corners of his mouth curled into grin.
A bad omen arose in Li Feiâs heart.
As expected.
âHeh, looks like someone doesnât want me to help her grandfather get well⊠Never mind, Iâll save my energy.â
Duan Ling Tian mischievously smiled.
Li Feiâs face turned pale as she angrily said, âYou, you⊠you rascal! You plainly promised me.â
âDid I promise? Why, donât I know⊠Ke Er, did I promise her?â
Duan Ling Tian glanced at Ke Er with a slight smile.
At this moment, Ke Er was taking care of the two little pythons that had gone into a deep slumber after consuming the Snow Pythonâs Beast Core.
Her beautiful, clear eyes emitted a motherly brilliance.
âYoung Master, I didnât hear anything.â
Ke Er naturally stood on Duan Ling Tianâs side.
âYou twoâŠYou two are bullying me.â
Li Feiâs eyes turned red as if they were about to tear up again.
âEnough, as long as you keep todayâs matter a secret, I will surely return a healthy grandfather to you. Not only that, I can even allow him to smoothly become a Grade Eight Weapons Craftsmen without leaving behind any aftereffects.â
Duan Ling Tian compromised.
âRascal!â
Li Fei smiled through her tears.
âRight, since your grandfather knows that He Zu Dao killed his father years ago, why didnât he make the blood letter public? That would allow everyone to clearly see He Zu Daoâs true face.â
Duan Ling Tian asked about the uncertainty in his heart.
âDid you think my grandfather didnât want to? But when my grandfather found the blood letter, He Zu Dao had already become Aqua Mist Cityâs He Clanâs Grand Elder and had extraordinary status. Even if my grandfather made it public, it would be impossible for the Li Clan to offend the He Clanâs Grand Elder over a disciple who had died years ago.â
âMoreover, my grandfather was also worried that once the blood letter was made public, it would cause He Zu Dao to get angry from embarrassment and even take revenge ⊠At that time, my grandmother just happened to be pregnant with my father, so my grandfather chose to bear it patiently, and this matter slowly became a knot in his heart.â
Li Fei heaved a sigh.
âNow the knot in your grandfatherâs heart can be unlocked because this future son-in-law of his has taken revenge for him!â
Duan Ling Tian laughed slyly.
âWho would want to marry you?â
Li Fei gave Duan Ling Tian a disdainful glance as her enchantingly beautiful face blushed.
Deeply afraid that Duan Ling Tian would notice, she hurriedly turned around.
Under the setting sun, the outline of Aurora City eventually appeared before them.
Duan Ling Tian and the two young girls returned directly to the Li Clan Estate.
After asking Ke Er to take the two little pythons home first, he followed Li Fei and arrived at Li Feiâs home.
âFei, youâre back?â
In the vast courtyard stood an old man that was over seventy years of age.
The old man had a thin figure; it was as if he would be blown down by the wind.
âGrandfather, I have good news to tell you.â
Li Fei walked into the courtyard and grabbed the old manâs hand. Her face emitted a light smile.
The old man had a doting expression as he smiled and asked, âWhat good news?â
Li Fei put her mouth close to the old manâs ears and lightly said, âGrandfather, He Zu Dao is dead.â
Instantly, the old manâs body shook as if struck by lightning, and his breathing became hurriedâŠ
The old man took in a deep breath and slowly said, âFei, you canât joke about things like this.â
Even though he knew that this granddaughter of his had never lied to him before, what his granddaughter said right now was really too inconceivable.
âGrandfather, He Zu Dao was killed by him. If you donât believe me, you can ask him.â
Noticing the old man didnât believe her, Li Fei instantly became anxious and hurriedly looked at Duan Ling Tian with an expression that said that she was begging for help.
âYouâre Duan Ling Tian?â
The old manâs cloudy gaze instantly flickered with a sharp light and descended upon Duan Ling Tian as if trying to see through him.
But unfortunately, he was bound to be disappointed.
Duan Ling Tian stood there, unmoved, like an immovable mountain.
âNot bad, youâre worthy of your reputation. I now believe that you have the strength to defeat Li Qing.â
The old man nodded.
âGrandfather.â
Duan Ling Tian greeted the old man.
Instantly, the old man was dumbstruck.
Li Feiâs face instantly blushed as she fiercely glared at Duan Ling Tian.
âHahahahaâŠâ
Noticing his granddaughterâs expression, the old man seemed to have understood something and laughed out loud.
âGrandfather, itâs not like that,â Li Fei explained in panic.
âFei, you donât have to be shy. Men should get married and women should be married⊠Moreover, I think this kid isnât bad; he has the qualifications to be my grandson-in-law. Although sometimes he likes to talk big, these are just small problems and are not a big deal.â
As the old man finished speaking, he seemed to contain a hidden meaning pointing to something.
âGrandfather, whether Iâm talking big or not, youâll know soon. Iâll first testify on behalf of Li Fei that your personal enemy who killed your father, He Zu Dao, is indeed dead. He was killed my sword strikeâŠThis Spatial Ring is the best evidence.â
Duan Ling Tian withdrew the Spatial Ring from his pocket as he spoke, then he handed it over to the old man.
The old manâs hands trembled as he received it and sized it up.
The old man was agitated.
âRight⊠Right, this is indeed He Zu Daoâs Spatial Ring! What exactly happened?â he asked after returning the Spatial Ring to Duan Ling Tian.
Duan Ling Tian quickly told the entire story to the old man.
âSnow Python? HahaâŠThe heavens arenât blind, the heavens arenât blindâŠâ
The old man laughed loudly and joyfully.
The knot in his heart for many years had finally been unlocked.
For a moment, his face glowed as if becoming a few years younger.
The old man gathered his breath before sincerely saying to Duan Ling Tian, âLing Tian kid, thank you.â
âWeâre family, so you donât have to be so courteous, Grandfather⊠If Iâm not wrong, besides having a burning sensation in your Origin Energy lately and having a hard time sleeping, when you refine weapons, you frequently feel restless and even feel like you have the heart but not the strength to complete the refinement, right?â Duan Ling Tian said, with a serious face.
The old man took a deep breath before asking in disbelief, âLing Tian kid, you can really notice my hidden injuries from forcefully increasing my Weapon Flameâs grade just by looking at the Spirit Weapon I refined?â
âOf course. Not only can I notice the hidden injuries, I can even help grandfather heal them, but you have to wait until I step into the Core Formation Stage,â Duan Ling Tian said.
âWhy?â
The old man was puzzled.
âBecause only when I step into the Core Formation Stage will I be able to condense a Pill Flame from my Origin Energy and refine a medicinal pill which can help grandfatherâs hidden injuries heal,â Duan Ling Tian slowly said.
âLing Tian, kid, even if you have an alchemistâs natural talent, becoming an alchemist isnât so simpleâŠâ
The old man laughed bitterly as he that felt Duan Ling Tian was reaching beyond his grasp.
âGrandfather, no matter what I say now, you wouldnât believe me. In two months at most, you will know whether what I said is true or false.â
Duan Ling Tianâs body emitted strong self-confidence.
