Since Liu Zuo Lin had entered the shop, Duan Ling Tian had only spared him a glance before ignoring him. He did not bother with Liu Zuo Lin at all, not afraid even if Liu Zuo Lin threatened him with the Liu clan. Although he had no interactions with the Liu clan in Nine Specters County, he had heard of the clan before. He knew the clan was one of the most powerful forces in Nine Specters County. The Qiu clan, where Zheng Qiu the inner-estate elder in the County Governor’s estate was from, was almost as famous as the Liu clan. Due to Zheng Qiu, the Qiu clan’s overall strength was stronger. He was not afraid of the Qiu clan, let alone the Liu clan. To him, Liu Zhuo Lin who thought he could act as he pleased just because he was from the Liu clan was like a joke.

“Y-you dare ignore me?” Liu Zuo Lin was enraged when he saw Duan Ling Tian ignoring him. Celestial Origin Energy began to surge out of his body.

Just as Liu Zuo Lin was about to make a move, the old man with a blank expression who was standing behind him suddenly stepped forward and stopped Liu Zuo Lin. He asked Duan Ling Tian in a deep voice, “Who are you?”

At this moment, the old man was no longer expressionless. He looked at Duan Ling Tian solemnly with a hint of wariness in his eyes. Although he did not know Duan Ling Tian, since Duan Ling Tian was buying medicinal herbs to refine Spirit Nourishing Pills, it meant that Duan Ling Tian was a primitive Celestial Alchemist at least or he had the support of a Celestial Alchemist. Naturally, he thought it was more likely that Duan Ling Tian had the support of a Celestial Alchemist. This was because he could sense Duan Ling Tian’s aura and could tell that Duan Ling Tian was less than 100 years of age. He had never heard of someone becoming a Celestial Alchemist in less than 100 years old, let alone a Celestial Alchemist who was younger than 100 years of age. He would not find it surprising if someone younger than 100 years old managed to obtain a Celestial Fire. However, becoming a Celestial Alchemist and refining pills were much more than just owning a Celestial Fire. Although it could not be considered as extremely difficult, a lot of experience and practice were needed. He was also well aware that even if he had not heard of or seen a Celestial Alchemist under 100 years old, it did not mean they did not exist. It was just that he was certain there was no such person in the places under the rule of King Qing’s Mansion.

Duan Ling Tian stared at the old man and said with a straight face, “Someone you can’t afford to offend.” He had sensed Liu Zuo Lin’s killing intent earlier, he did not expect the old man to stop Liu Zuo Lin before Liu Zuo Lin could make a move. For this reason, he responded to the old man. He turned away as soon as he finished speaking.

At this moment, the shopkeeper emerged from the back with a Spatial Ring in hand. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “All the medicinal herbs you requested are inside… There’s a total of 373 sets of medicinal herbs. Generally, our shop sells one set for one prominent Celestial Stone. Since you’re buying so many sets, we’re giving you a discount. It’ll cost you 370 prominent Celestial Stones in total.” He was very respectful. Since he discovered Duan Ling Tian was not from the Liu clan, and he was certain Duan Ling Tian was not one of the primitive Celestial Alchemists from the County Governor’s estate, he assumed Duan Ling Tian was a Celestial Alchemist from other places. To come to the Nine Specters County, he thought Duan Ling Tian must have business to attend to here. Regardless, he knew Duan Ling Tian was not someone he or the clan behind him could offend.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zuo Lin who felt humiliated by Duan Ling Tian said with a sneer, “370 prominent Celestial Stones… Will you be able to afford it?” After all, 370 prominent Celestial Stones were not a small number. Even in the Liu clan, apart from the high-ranking officials, not many of them could afford to spend so much in a go.

Duan Ling Tian passed an unclaimed Spatial Ring to the shopkeeper and said indifferently, “There are 400 prominent Celestial Stones in there. You can keep the change. I’m very pleased with your service.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Zuo Lin and the old man behind him.

“Thank you, thank you!” The shopkeeper’s eyes lit up upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. A hint of excitement could be seen on his face. After all, this was his first time meeting such a generous customer. He was given 30 prominent Celestial Stones just for this sale. After he verified the correct number of Celestial Stones was in the Spatial Ring, he nodded and claimed ownership of the ring before he passed the Spatial Ring that contained medicinal herbs to Duan Ling Tian.

After Duan Ling Tian put the Spatial Ring away, he asked the shopkeeper, “Do you know where I can buy a cauldron to refine pills?”

Everyone, including Liu Zuo Lin and the old man, was shocked.

“I-I… Are you planning to refine the pills yourself?” The shopkeeper looked at Duan Ling Tian with disbelief before he quickly said, “Or could it be that the Celestial Alchemist you serve doesn’t have a cauldron at the moment?”

“I’m refining it myself,” Duan Ling Tian said, “So, do you know where I can get a cauldron? Tell me if you know. Otherwise, I’ll look for them on my own.”

“I do, I do.” The shopkeeper was, naturally, eager to disclose everything he knew to this generous customer who had given him 30 prominent Celestial Stones as tips. He listed out the shops nearby that carried cauldrons.

“Thanks.” Duan Ling Tian did not waste any time and left the shop after that.

After Duan Ling Tian left, Liu Zuo Lin glared at the shopkeeper before he left with the old man in tow. His eyes flashed as he said, “Uncle Li… Should we do something? This guy might have a lot of prominent Celestial Stones, but he seems fairly young. This means his cultivation base is probably low as well.”

The old man said, “He should be less than 100 years old.”

“Less than 100 years old?” Although Liu Zuo Lin could tell Duan Ling Tian was young, he did not expect Duan Ling Tian to be less than 100 years old. Upon discovering this, the cogs in his mind began to turn.

“Young master, he may not be older than 100 years old, but based on how he had easily spent 400 prominent Celestial Stones, he must have an extraordinary background. Moreover, his aura isn’t simple as well.” The old man was slightly hesitant. “Wouldn’t it be risky for us to act?” Although this was not his first rodeo, he felt slightly uneasy this time around. The purple-clad young man seemed like a tough nut to crack.

“Don’t worry.” Liu Zuo Lin looked at the old man meaningfully. “Don’t forget, we’ve never failed before!”

…

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian walked on the major street and made his way to the shop that sold cauldrons.

“Hm?” Suddenly, he seemed to have sensed something as he narrowed his eyes that were flashing coldly. “They’re following me… What do they want?”

Duan Ling Tian who was initially rushing to buy a cauldron suddenly changed direction and walked into a small alley.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

As soon as Duan Ling Tian entered the small alley, Liu Zuo Lin and the old man appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

“What do you want?” Duan Ling Tian asked indifferently, clearly not bothered by their sudden appearance.

Liu Zuo Lin’s expression turned unsightly when he saw Duan Ling Tian was still able to maintain his composure. He glared at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Brat, blame your rotten luck for running into me today. I don’t know where you came from, but you won’t be leaving this place today.”

“Why? You’re planning to keep me here?” Duan Ling Tian still sounded indifferent.

“Not only that, but we’re going to kill you. If there’s a next life, remember not to openly flaunt your wealth!” Liu Zuo Lin sneered. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to the old man and said, “Uncle Li, do it!”

Bang!

A loud bang sounded in the air as the old man moved at lightning speed and struck with his palm.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were cold as he scoffed loudly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Tens of thousands of sword rays shot out from Duan Ling Tian’s body, making him look as bright as the sun.
