Chapter 2620 The Primitive Celestial Pill, The Spirit Nourishing Pill
Liu Feng Gu shook his head as he looked into Duan Ling Tian’s eyes that were brimming with hope. “I have no idea.”
Upon hearing this, a wave of disappointment rose in Duan Ling Tian’s heart.
“The powerful celestial who created the Little World is from the Blissful Sect. It’s a sect that’s not bound to any Celestial Kingdom. The person who entered the Little World with you has to be extremely powerful to be able to leave the Little World at will. His background must be extraordinary as well. It’s possible that his sect is comparable to the Blissful Sect,” Liu Feng Gu said, “However, I’ve been here for many years, but I’ve never heard of the World Cleansing Horsetail Whisk before this. If you want to find out more about this, I’m afraid you’ll have to seek the answer from King Qing’s mansion or the capital. The likelihood of you finding your answer in King Qing’s mansion is relatively low. However, I’m sure you have a 50% chance of finding your answer in the capital.”
“The capital...” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened. Naturally, he had heard about the capital.
“Captain Duan,” Liu Feng Gu looked at Duan Ling Tian and said solemnly, “Even if your Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities aren’t all at the heaven grade, you should still conceal them when you head to the Nine Specters County. Even if they’re just earth-grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities, they’re still enough to rouse greed.”
Duan Ling Tian nodded. He knew it was best to conceal his powers at this time.
After they spoke for a while, Liu Feng Gu and Duan Ling Tian returned to the Black Dragon Army’s camp.
“Lord City Governor!” Chen Xuan Ba, the Commander of the Black Dragon Army, and the four captains walked out from their respective tents and respectfully greeted Liu Feng Gu.
“Xuan Ba, pick a new captain to replace Captain Duan. He’ll be leaving with me to the City Governor’s estate. After half a year, he’ll be going to the County City,” Liu Feng Gu said without beating around the bush.
“Lord City Governor, does this mean you’ve decided to give one of the two slots to Captain Duan?” Chen Xuan Ba asked. Based on his words, it was clear he had already known about the matter of two people being selected to go to the County Governor’s estate in the County City of Nine Specters County.
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed with some indescribable emotion when he heard this. However, the three captains looked at each in confusion.
After a while, realization finally dawned on the three captains. It seemed like a special envoy would be sent here to escort the two selected people to the County City of Nine Specters County. “It must be something good since the County Governor is going to send a special envoy here!”
“Yes,” Liu Feng Gu nodded before he said, “As for the other spot, we’ll do a selection by organizing a battle for those from the Black Dragon Army, the Silverwyrm Army, and the Golden Serpent Guards. The battle will be held in five months’ time in the City Governor’s estate. Only Golden Celestials below the age of 100 are allowed to participate.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Ji and Cai Wen Yu shook their heads and forced a smile on their faces. They were a lot older than 100 years old. For this reason, although they were both Golden Celestials, they would not be able to participate. Even without the age limit, they knew their chances of winning were low since their strength was below average.
“Zhao Dong Xing and Qin Yu... You’re both under the age of 100, right?” Hu Ji and Cai Wen Yu turned to look at the two captains standing near them.
A hint of excitement could be seen on Zhao Dong Xing’s face while Qin Yu looked indifferent.
“Is Qin Yu not interested? It looks like he doesn’t care at all...”
“It seems like it.”
Hu Ji and Cai Wen Yu quickly exchanged a look as they communicated through Voice Transmission. When they turned to look at Duan Ling Tian, a hint of envy could be seen in their eyes. They knew Duan Ling Tian would be selected even if he had to participate in the battle. After all, they had witnessed his strength.
At this moment, Liu Feng Gu smiled and said politely, “Captain Duan, do you still have matters to attend to in the camp? If you do, I’ll wait for you, and we can return to the City Governor’s estate together.”
Although Chen Xuan Ba and the others had seen the way Liu Feng Gu treated Duan Ling Tian earlier, they were still shocked when they saw this. They had only seen Liu Feng Gu this polite to ambassadors who were sent to visit Bloody Specter City. Apart from that, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian was the first person to enjoy this honor.
“Alright, I just need to speak to my subordinates,” Duan Ling Tian said before he left the valley to look for his subordinates.
...
The expressions on the faces of Duan Ling Tian’s subordinates changed drastically when they learned about his impending departure.
“Captain... Are you leaving?”
“Captain, is the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army giving you trouble?”
“Captain, that incident from a month ago was my fault. I’ll look for him to make things right!” Tong Zheng, a centurion under Duan Ling Tian’s command, said resolutely.
“Me too!” Upon hearing Tong Zheng’s words, the nine soldiers who were present in Lai Feng Restaurant a month ago cried out in unison. All of them planned to shoulder the responsibility along with Tong Zheng.
Duan Ling Tian stopped them and said, “The incident from a month ago has been resolved. I’m leaving because the City Governor has selected me to go to the County City of Nine Specters County.”
“The County City?”
Upon hearing this, they knew this was a good opportunity for Duan Ling Tian since not anyone would be selected to go to the County City of Nine Specters County.
Although Tong Zheng and the others were reluctant to part with Duan Ling Tian, they knew this was for the best. All of them bade Duan Ling Tian farewell one after another.
“If I have time in the future, I’ll visit all of you.” After Duan Ling Tian bade his subordinates farewell, he left the Black Dragon Army’s camp with Liu Feng Gu.
...
As soon as they arrived in the City Governor’s estate, they went to Liu Feng Gu’s cultivation place, the Tranquil Alcove.
Liu Feng Gu passed a Spatial Ring to Duan Ling Tian and said, “Captain Duan, there are 100 prominent Celestial Stones and a bottle of primitive Celestial Pills called the Spirit Nourishing Pills in here.”
“Primitive Celestial Pills? The Spirit Nourishing Pill?” Duan Ling Tian looked at the Spatial Ring excitedly. Although these were common Celestial Pills, at this time, it was difficult for him to obtain something like that. A Spirit Nourishing Pill could lessen a Heavenly Celestial’s cultivation time by 10%.
For example, if a Crimson Moon Heavenly Celestial needed 100 days to become an Orange Moon Heavenly Celestial, with the Spirit Nourishing Pill, the time would be shortened to 90 days.
More importantly, these Celestial Pills could be used at the same time with the Celestial Stones and the effects would double.
“Thank you, governor!” Duan Ling Tian felt the weight of the bottle, he knew there were more than ten pills in there.
...
While Duan Ling Tian was about to enter closed-door cultivation, Bloody Specter City was in an uproar.
“Miao Lai Long, the Commander of the Silverwyrm Army, told Lord City Governor he has no intention of pursuing the matter in Lai Feng Restaurant?”
“It doesn’t sound like him at all.”
Initially, the discussion revolved around the incident in Lai Feng Restaurant. After a while, it turned into something else.
“Duan Ling Tian followed Lord City Governor back to the estate? Moreover, he has been given permission to cultivate in the Tranquil Alcove?”
“Heavens! I don’t think anyone has been given permission to cultivate in the Tranquil Alcove before!”
“Who is Duan Ling Tian? What did he do to deserve this treatment?”
“Is Duan Ling Tian Lord City Governor’s illegitimate son?”
News of this spread like a wildfire in Bloody Specter City, shocking everyone.
...
In the Silverwyrm Army’s camp.
“What?! The commander is not going to pursue the matter at the restaurant?”
“So Captain Yang was crippled by Duan Ling Tian for nothing?”
“Why would the commander do this?”
Even the soldiers of the Silverwyrm Army could not understand their commander.
At the same time, Miao Lai Long finally received news about Duan Ling Tian cultivating in the Tranquil Alcove.
“What the heck is going on?!” He was shocked when he heard this news. However, he calmed down as he thought to himself, ‘Perhaps, Lord City Governor is trying to coax Duan Ling Tian into handing over his Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities...’
