Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Qian Yue Jin was greedy, he knew only disaster awaited him and the Qian family if news of him killing a disciple of the Glorious Heaven Sect spread.

“I’ll personally bring the 1,000 taels of divine rocks over to further test him,” Qian Yue Jin replied to Qian Tong.

Although Qian Tong had told Duan Ling Tian that someone was already bringing the 1,000 taels of divine rocks over, the fact was the Qian family had yet to send anyone over to the Rejuvenation Tower.

It was not that surprising that Qian Yue Jin, the head of the Qian family, was personally bringing the divine rocks to the Rejuvenation Tower. After all, many in the family had never even seen such a huge number of divine rocks, let alone possessing them. This was also the case for the direct descendants of the Qian family. Hence, they could not be trusted to send the divine rocks over. Only an important figure in the Qian family like Qian Yue Jin was qualified to bring the divine rocks over.

“When I arrive, you’ll address me as Grand Elder. Remind the other workers not to reveal my identity and to address me as Grand Elder as well…” Qian Yue Jin sent another message to Qian Tong while he made his way to the Rejuvenation Tower.

Qian Tong naturally did not dare to disobey Qian Yue Jin’s words. As soon as he received the message, he hurriedly spoke to the other workers. After that, he said to Duan Ling Tian with a smile, “Young Master Duan, the Grand Elder of the Qian family is on his way here with your divine rocks. Please wait for a moment.”

Duan Ling Tian did not reply to Qian Tong and merely glanced at Qian Tong. This was the second time Qian Tong had told him the divine rocks were on the way here.

…

About a quarter of an hour later, Duan Ling Tian finally saw the Grand Elder of the Qian family.

The Grand Elder of the Qian family was a middle-aged man dressed in a brocade robe. He had bushy eyebrows and a pair of bright eyes. He had a very dignified air about him.

“You’re the Grand Elder of the Qian family?” Duan Ling Tian asked skeptically. Based on what he had previously heard, the person in front of him was completely different from the Grand Elder of the Qian family. He thought that there was a possibility the person in front of him was not really the Grand Elder of the Qian family. Although he had never met the Grand Elder of the Qian family, he had heard of the Grand Elder of the Qian family when he was gathering information in the Tassel Restaurant. He had heard the Grand Elder of the Qian family was a slender gray-haired old man with a ruddy complexion. Moreover, the Grand Elder of the Qian family had a distinguishing mark: a crescent-shaped mark on his glabella. For all these reasons, he was certain the middle-aged man dressed in a brocade robe in front of him was a fake.

Duan Ling Tian wondered who would pretend to be the Grand Elder of the Qian family at this time. Moreover, the staff at the Rejuvenation Tower was cooperatively playing along and addressing the middle-aged man as the Grand Elder of the Qian family as well. He had a few guesses, but when he saw the birthmark under the right ear of the ‘Grand Elder of the Qian family’, he knew the other party’s identity immediately. He was certain the middle-aged man was none other than Qian Yue Jin, the head of the Qian family. Qian Yue Jin was also a rudimentary god, one of the powerful gods, in the Qian family.

‘At Ten Directions Celestial Emperor?’ At the same time, Qian Yue Jin was probing Duan Ling Tian with his Divine Consciousness. Outwardly, he wore a harmless-looking smile on his face and said, “I’m Qian He, the Grand Elder of the Qian family. Greetings, Young Master Duan.”

“Where are the divine rocks?” Duan Ling Tian bluntly asked. He did not bother to expose Qian Yue Jin’s lies.

“It’s here.” Qian Yue Jin nodded. Despite his words, he did not hand the divine rocks to Duan Ling Tian immediately. Instead, he asked with a smile, “I’ve heard of the Glorious Heaven Sect. May I ask which branch of the Glorious Heaven Sect is Young Master Duan from?”

‘Which branch of the Glorious Heaven Sect am I from?’ Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback upon hearing Qian Yue Jin’s words. With this, he knew Qian Yue Jin was testing him. However, he did not panic. Instead, he calmly said, “Elder Qian He, you know about the Glorious Heaven Sect?”

“Of course.” Qian Yue Jin smiled and nodded. “After all, the Glorious Heaven Sect is a famous emperor-rank sect in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.”

In the Realms of Gods, sects with Emperors of Gods were categorized as emperor-rank sects while sects with Supreme Gods were categorized as supreme-rank sects. This applied to clans as well.

Naturally, there were differences between emperor-rank forces as well. Strong emperor-rank forces usually had more than one Emperor of Gods while weaker emperor-rank forces usually only had Emperors of Gods in the past, and presently, had no Emperors of Gods among their ranks. This applied to supreme-rank forces as well.

The Glorious Heaven Sect was considered one of the weaker emperor-rank forces. However, no matter what, they were still an emperor-rank force. Hence, despite not having any Emperors of Gods presently, they were still respected, and not many people dared to underestimate them.

For a mere head of a family in a small and remote city like Qian Yue Jin, the Glorious Heaven Sect was no different from the stronger emperor-ranks forces. It was still a force that he looked up to.

‘Eastern Ridge Mansion?’ Previously, when Duan Ling Tian was still in the Duan Clan Village, he had learned that Endless Mountain and Descent Mountain City were located in the Eastern Ridge Mansion of the Profound Energy Land’s Eastern Region. He did not expect that Glorious Heaven Sect, which he had casually mentioned, was also located in the Eastern Ridge Mansion.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed briefly upon discovering this coincidence. At the same time, he thought to himself, ‘The head of the Qian family is still trying to test me. It seems like I’ve underestimated the temptation of 1,000 taels worth of divine rocks to the Qian family…’

The truth was Duan Ling Tian initially wanted to exchange for more divine rocks. However, he did not want to draw attention to himself so he decided to only exchange for 1,000 taels worth of divine rocks. He did not expect he would still draw the attention of a god from the Qian family, especially after he had mentioned he was from the Glorious Heaven Sect.

After a brief pause, Duan Ling Tian glanced at Qian Yue Jin and calmly said, “Elder Qian He, since you’ve heard about the Glorious Heaven Sect, you must’ve heard about my master as well… My master is Ye Bei Yuan…”

Ye Bei Yuan was the old man who had helped Duan Ling Tian when Duan Ling Tian was still in the Realm Battlefield.

Due to the current situation, Duan Ling Tian had no choice but to mention Ye Bei Yuan.

He was certain that if Qian Yue Jin had heard of Ye Bei Yuan, Qian Yue Jin would not dare to act recklessly. On the other hand, if Qian Yue Jin had not heard of Ye Bei Yuan, it would mean that Qian Yue Jin did not know much about the Glorious Heaven Sect. After all, as an intermediate Lord of Gods, Ye Bei Yuan’s status in the Glorious Heaven Sect must be rather high.

During the time Duan Ling Tian spent in the Tassel Restaurant, he had learned that the strongest forces in the Eastern Ridge Mansion were all emperor-rank forces with Emperors of Gods. However, he had never heard anyone mention the Glorious Heaven Sect. Hence, he came to the conclusion that the Glorious Heaven Sect did not have any Emperors of Gods presently. In that case, a Lord of Gods like Ye Bei Yuan would definitely have a high status in the Glorious Heaven Sect. Therefore, he surmised that if Qian Yue Jin truly knew about the Glorious Heaven Sect, Qian Yue Jin would definitely know who Ye Bei Yuan was.

“Y-you’re Lord Ye Bei Yuan’s disciple?” Qian Yue Jin’s eyes widened in shock as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

On the contrary, Qian Tong and the other workers in the Rejuvenation Tower wore blank expressions on their faces. Although they had heard of the Glorious Heaven Sect, they did not even know the name of the Sect Leader of the Glorious Heaven Sect, let alone Ye Bei Yuan.

In the Qian family, no one knew much about the Glorious Heaven Sect even if they had heard of the sect. At most, a few of them only knew who the sect leader was. Only Qian Yue Jin alone had a deeper understanding of the Glorious Heaven Sect.

In fact, Qian Yue Jin was confident there were not more than five people in Descent Mountain City who knew the Glorious Heaven Sect as well as he did. Hence, when Duan Ling Tian mentioned Ye Bei Yuan, he was convinced Duan Ling Tian was not lying. In his opinion, if Duan Ling Tian was lying, Duan Ling Tian definitely would not know about Ye Bei Yuan, the Valley Master of the Moon Shadow Valley in the Glorious Heaven Sect.

Duan Ling Tian looked at Qian Yue Jin and said, “I didn’t expect an elder of a small family in Descent Mountain City has heard of my master as well…”

“It’s only natural since Lord Ye Bei Yuan is a prominent figure,” Qian Yue Jin said. He broke out in cold sweat when he remembered he had plotted to kill Ye Bei Yuan’s disciple.

For all these reasons, Duan Ling Tian managed to obtain the 1,000 taels of divine rocks without any problem.

After putting divine rocks away, Duan Ling Tian said, “During my time away from the sect, I managed to break through and become a Ten Directions Celestial Emperor. Do you have a way to obtain the Psychic Pill in Descent Mountain City?”

The Psychic Pill was beneficial for imminent gods. It would help them to break through and attain godhood. Needless to say, success was not guaranteed. Usually, the pill was more effective for those who were just half a step away from attaining godhood. Apart from that, the pill would only be effective the first time it was taken.

The Psychic Pill was a divine pill, but in the Realms of Gods, it was not considered a rare divine pill. However, in a small city like Descent Mountain City, it might be quite difficult to obtain the Psychic Pill.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Qian Tong glanced at Qian Yue Jin. When he saw Qian Yue Jin nodding, he hurriedly said, “Young Master Duan, Psychic Pills are quite rare in Descent Mountain City. The alchemist in our Qian family only has a 10% success rate when refining the Psychic Pill. The last Psychic Pill in the Rejuvenation Tower was sold two years ago. It was the only pill that our alchemist had successfully refined in the past ten years.”

The medicinal herbs needed to refine Psychic Pills were rather rare in a small city like Descent Mountain City, after all. Even the Qian family could not easily obtain them. Coupled with the low success rate, the Qian family only managed to produce a Psychic Pill every ten or twenty years.

Upon seeing the slight frown on Duan Ling Tian’s face, Qian Tong hurriedly said, “However, I heard that the alchemist of the Meng family successfully refined a Psychic Pill three months ago. It was put on sale three months ago, but there has been no buyer as of now. Young Master Duan, you can go to the Meng family’s Still Water Pavilion to have a look.”

Duan Ling Tian asked, “How much is the Meng family selling the Psychic Pill for?”

“3,000 taels’ worth of divine rocks,” Qian Tong replied.
