Chapter 506: Grade Four Flames
Duan Ling Tian achieved his wish and lodged in the Inner Hall's courtyard.
In next to no time, the four workers of the academy sent over fine wine and delicacies for Duan Ling Tian, Sword Young Master, Ji Feng, and Sima Yang.
The fine wine and delicacies had only just been carried in for Duan Ling Tian.
"Squeak squeak~" The little gold mouse who had fallen asleep before Duan Ling Tian entered the Inner Hall smelt the fragrance and awoken at the first possible moment. "Big Brother Ling Tian, where did you get this meat? Didn't they only give you a bowl of water and a lousy mantou?"
The little gold mouse leaped down and directly helped Duan Ling Tian start cleaning up, and it wasn't long before she'd already cleaned up more than half.
The corners of Duan Ling Tian's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but scold with a smile on his face. "You little fellow, you've only just awoken and you've seized my food... I took great pains to get all of this."
Duan Ling Tian shook his head before walking out of the courtyard, then he looked at the academy worker that stood outside. "Big Brother, can you help me prepare two portions of delicacies?"
The worked couldn't help but be stunned. "You... So much isn't enough for you?"
"There's nothing I can do about it, I have a glutton following by my side." Duan Ling Tian looked slightly helplessly at the little gold mouse in the courtyard, and spread out his hands as he spoke.
Meanwhile, the other workers looked over as well.
"I can't decide on this." The worked was in a slightly difficult position. "According to our academy's rules, besides being able to request for a full meal when they've just arrived in the Inner Hall, we can only send food over to every Inner Hall student when it's meal time."
"There's such a rule?" Duan Ling Tian's face froze, then he raised his hand and withdrew a gold bill with a 1,000 denomination. "Big Brother, you..."
Duan Ling Tian hadn't finished speaking when the worker's face went pale. "Quickly put it away! If the Vice Dean were to see it..."
"I've already see it." Right at this moment, an indifferent voice sounded out.
Duan Ling Tian raised his head to look towards the old man that stood outside the exquisite house. "Vice Dean Chi, I..."
"Alright!" The old man raised his hand to stop Duan Ling Tian and said with a serious expression. "It's also because I forgot to tell you... In our Dragon and Phoenix Academy, besides being prohibited from improving your living conditions, you're also prohibited from bribing the workers! Since it's your first time, I won't fuss about it this time."
Duan Ling Tian's heart couldn't help but jerk when he heard the first half of what the old man said, and Duan Ling Tian only heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the old man finish speaking. "Thank you, Vice Dean Chi."
After he finished speaking, Duan Ling Tian had a bitter smile on his face, and his heart was filled with helplessness. "Alas, Little Gold that glutton has actually eaten my food... Looks like I can only go hungry for this meal."
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian turned around, intending to return to his courtyard.
Right at this moment.
"In the future, send him an extra two portions of fine wine and delicacies for every meal." The sudden voice entered into Duan Ling Tian's ears, and it caused Duan Ling Tian to be unable to refrain from revealing a happy expression.
"Thank you Vice Dean Chi." Duan Ling Tian hurriedly turned around and thanked.
The worked was slightly surprised when he heard Chi Ming, as he never expected that the Vice Dean would take care of Duan Ling Tian so well.
But with a quick thought, he quickly came to an understanding.
This Duan Ling Tian had an extraordinary natural talent in the Martial Dao that was peerless.
One year from now, the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom would have to rely on him to show off on the stage of the Darkstone Empire...
A person like this had sufficient qualification to obtain different treatment.
"Go and prepare two portions of fine wine and delicacies for him now." The old man instructed.
"Yes, Vice Dean." The worker replied and left.
With the special allowance from the Vice Dean, Duan Ling Tian finally had a full meal.
After his meal, the corners of Duan Ling Tian's mouth couldn't help but twitch when he saw the little gold mouse that lay there with a stomach that had expanded to the point it become round. "This Little Gold is truly a complete glutton! Out of the three portions, I was full after eating one... Whereas she ate an entire two portions."
The little gold mouse lifted up her bloated body with difficulty, then blinked her jade green eyes as she said via voice transmission, "Big Brother Ling Tian, I like this place... The roast meat and grilled meat here is much tastier than the restaurants."
"Of course. The Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial Family is standing behind this Dragon and Phoenix Academy... The chefs that prepare the delicacies for the Inner Hall are very likely the Imperial Chefs from the Imperial palace." This was something that Duan Ling Tian wasn't surprised of in the slightest.
After eating his fill, Duan Ling Tian returned to his room and cultivated silently.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Lightning Wyrm Form!
The Origin Energy in Duan Ling Tian's body was ceaselessly strengthening.
What he needed to do now was to advance his cultivation as quickly as possible and make himself possess sufficient ability to look down upon the young geniuses from the various Dynasties during the Martial Competition of the Ten Dynasties that was to be held four years from now.
After an unknown amount of time, Duan Ling Tian felt the increase of his Origin Energy was almost saturated, and he stopped.
Haste does not bring success.
This principle was something Duan Ling Tian knew of.
But even if he didn't cultivate, Duan Ling Tian still had many things to do.
Hiss!
With a raise of his hand, a strand of a raging and restless flame appeared on Duan Ling Tian's hand.
This was a strand of blue flames.
If a weapons craftsman was here then he would surely recognize with a glance that this was a grade four Weapon Flame.
The grade four Weapon Flame that only a grade four weapons craftsman was able to condense!
Exactly, the current Duan Ling Tian was already a grade four weapons craftsman!
Not to mention the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, even the Darkstone Empire didn't possess a grade four weapons craftsman.
Only an extremely small number of grade four weapons craftsmen were present in the Darkhan Dynasty...
As for grade three alchemists, probably only the Foreign Lands where experts were numerous like the clouds would possess them.
"Alas, there are no materials in my possession that can advance the grade of offensive spirit weapons... It's temporarily impossible for me to advance the grade five spirit sword of mine and Little Gold to the fourth grade." Duan Ling Tian shook his head and sighed, then he withdrew the cauldron he used for refining medicinal pills.
This cauldron was advanced to the ranks of a grade five spirit weapon by Duan Ling Tian previously.
"Now that my cultivation has broken through to the Void Prying Stage... The Pill Fire and Weapon Flame condensed from my Origin Energy can all be condensed into a Grade Four Flame! But if I want to refine grade four medicinal pills, I still require a cauldron that's a grade four spirit weapon." Duan Ling Tian's gaze descended onto the cauldron. "Fortunately, the materials required by an auxiliary spirit weapon like a cauldron isn't rare... There're sufficient materials amongst the materials I've collected to refine it into a grade four spirit weapon!"
Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian withdrew a pile of weapons refining materials.
After one hour, Duan Ling Tian used a profound technique combined with his grade four Weapon Flame to successfully advance the cauldron to the level of a grade four spirit weapon.
"Big Brother Ling Tian... You're able to refine grade four spirit weapons?" Duan Ling Tian's movements weren't soft, and it had alarmed the little gold mouse, causing the little gold mouse's eyes to light up.
"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded.
"Squeak!" The little gold mouse cried out happily when she heard this, her jade green eyes were filled with happiness as she raised her little claw and withdrew her pocket-size grade five spirit sword from the Spatial Collar on her neck.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, quickly advance my spirit sword's grade." The little gold mouse was extremely excited as she spoke to Duan Ling Tian via voice transmission.
After she found out about the wide gap between every grade of the spirit sword, the little gold mouse was filled with yearning towards a high grade spirit sword.
She'd always been yearning for Duan Ling Tian to be able to improve her grade five spirit sword into a grade four spirit sword in the past.
Duan Ling Tian laughed bitterly. "Little Gold, I temporarily don't have the materials that are able to improve offensive spirit weapons to become grade four spirit weapons... We can only wait for when we have the chance to head to the Imperial City's Weapon's Craftsmen Guild to try our luck."
The materials required for a grade four offensive spirit weapon was much rarer than the material required for a grade four auxiliary spirit weapon.
At the same time, it was extremely valuable as well!
In the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom, it was absolutely not able to be found everywhere.
The little gold mouse instantly drooped her head when she heard this, and she was slightly disappointed.
"Alright... Come here, this is the two drops of Monkey King Wine I promised you! You ought to be able to break through to the seventh level of the Void Prying Stage after consuming them. At that time, your Spiritual Force ought to be able to break through with your cultivation and improve." Duan Ling Tian withdrew two drops of Monkey King Wine and passed it to the little gold mouse.
The little gold mouse's eyes lit up when she heard this, then swallowed the two drops of Monkey King Wine into her stomach as she said via voice transmission, "Big Brother Ling Tian, I'll surely be able to break through this time... Hehe, so long as I break through to the seventh level of the Void Prying Stage, my Spiritual Force will surely be pushed into the Void Initiation Stage as well."
"At that time, I'll be able to awaken my soul brand and comprehend soul skills!" As she finished speaking, the little gold mouse was extremely excited.
Duan Ling Tian nodded.
Duan Ling Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the little gold mouse lie down and fall into deep sleep.
That day, when the little gold mouse consumed the Nether Soul Fruit, her Spiritual Force had increased by many levels.
Now, along with the advancement of her cultivation, her Spiritual Force would advance appropriately.
This was something that was different to Duan Ling Tian.
In the past, although Duan Ling Tian's Spiritual Force was strong, it wasn't the contribution of spirit fruits... Even to the extent that he'd never consumed spirit fruits that increased Spiritual Force.
So, along with the advancement of his cultivation, this Spiritual Force had slowly conformed to his cultivation before finally being on the same level as his cultivation.
Just like now.
Whereas the little gold mouse had consumed a spirit fruit that had truly developed the potential of her Spiritual Force.
In the future, so long as her cultivation advanced, her Spiritual Force would obtain the corresponding advancement.
Duan Ling Tian extremely anticipated what sort of soul skill the little gold mouse's awakened soul brand would bestow upon her.
Logically speaking, the soul brand inherited by a descendant of a Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse ought to not be simple.
"So long as Little Gold's Spiritual Force advances to the Void Initiation Stage... Then I don't have to be overcautious when I move about in the Imperial City in the future." Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart.
When he saw that Little Gold wouldn't wake up in a short amount of time, Duan Ling Tian left the room and arrived at the courtyard.
Tempest Point!
With a raise of his hand, Wind Force and Lightning Force appeared at the same time, and the Tempest Point tore apart the sky before descending onto the stone pillar in the courtyard and directly piercing through it.
Duan Ling Tian silently cultivated his Tempest Point, doing his best to comprehend an even higher level of Wind Force and Lightning Force!
Whereas at this moment, all hell broke out outside the academy because of Duan Ling Tian's appearance.
Firstly, it was the Yin Clan!
Yin Zhe, the number one genius of the Yin Clan's younger generation, the inheritor of the position of Patriarch of the Yin Clan... Actually had an arm crippled by someone!
His most important arm.
It was instantly like an earthquake as the entire Yin Clan shook.
Yin Clan Estate.
Many Yin Clan higher-ups were gathered together within the Audience Hall
Presently, more and more people ceaselessly arrived outside the Audience Hall, and they were precisely the Yin Clan higher-ups that had hurried over after receiving the news.
