Chapter 3772 Sun Quenching Divine Pill

Duan Ling Tian had already found the tall middle-aged man familiar, but after listening to the other party, he found the other party’s voice familiar as well. It did not take long before the figure of someone he had met in the Heavenly Stairs appeared in his mind. At this time, he finally realized the tall middle-aged man in front of him was the person dressed in red robes on the eighth step of the Heavenly Stairs in the Hidden Fog Sect.

Duan Ling Tian remembered that the red-clad middle-aged man on the eighth step of the Heavenly Stairs was an advanced god who had comprehended the law of time. Although the red-clad middle-aged man was strong and had a profound comprehension of the law of time, he managed to defeat the red-clad middle-aged man at that time because his comprehension of the law of space was superior. At that time, he could tell the middle-aged had no intention of killing him so he had spared the middle-aged man’s life after defeating the middle-aged man.

After scenes from the past flashed in Duan Ling Tian’s mind, the tall middle-aged man’s name surfaced in his mind as well. He said, “You’re… Xue Hai Shan from the Hidden Fog Sect’s Heavenly Stairs!”

With this, Duan Ling Tian also remembered that Xue Hai Shan said that after he was released from the Heavenly Stairs, he would look for him so they could drink together.

“That’s right!” Xue Hai Shan laughed.

“Xue Hai Shan, Xue Hai Chuan… You’re both…” Duan Ling Tian trailed off as he looked at Xue Hai Chuan and Xue Hai Shan with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He could naturally guess the duo’s relationship. No wonder Xue Hai Shan was able to comprehend triple Fused Profundities from the law of time despite being only an advanced god. It seemed like talent ran in the family.

Xue Hai Shan said with a grin, “Hai Chuan is my biological brother.” He paused briefly before he continued to say, “During the 10,000 years I was imprisoned in the Heavenly Stairs, my younger brother joined the Flying Dragon Sect and became a White Dragon Elder. I was only released from the Heavenly Stairs a few days ago. Hai Chuan returned to the Hidden Fog Sect to bring me back to the Flying Dragon Sect.”

A hint of pride could be heard in Xue Hai Shan’s voice when he spoke. He was like a father who was proud of his son’s achievements.

Duan Ling Tian laughed before he said, “Congratulations on being released from the Heavenly Stairs!”

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian finally realized the reason for Xue Hai Chuan’s friendliness. He had thought Xue Hai Chuan was being hypocritical, but as it turned out, he had been too narrow-minded and too quick to judge.

Duan Ling Tian knew now that Xue Hai Chuan was likely grateful that he had spared Xue Hai Shan’s life back then. After all, even if he killed Xue Hai Shan at that time, no one would be the wiser since they were in the Heavenly Stairs. People would only discover Xue Hai Shan’s death when he did not show up at the time of his release from the Heavenly Stairs. However, they would not be able to find out when he died and who had killed him.

“Brother Duan, back then, I said I’d have a drink with you after leaving the Heavenly Stairs. I’ve not gone to the Flying Dragon Sect yet, and instead, I brought my brother here just to have a drink with you,” Xue Hai Shan said enthusiastically with a smile on his face, “If it’s convenient for you, we can drink in your courtyard. Otherwise, we can drink in one of the restaurants in Linghu City. If I’m not mistaken, the Linghu clan owns quite a few restaurants in the city. Perhaps, if it suits you, we can ask the clan to arrange a private room for us.”

Before Duan Ling Tian could reply, Xue Hai Chuan, who was standing next to Xue Hai Shan, said, “Brother Duan, I’m very grateful that you spared my brother’s life in the past. Although you have conflicts with the Hidden Fog Sect, I hope you know that I don’t harbor any ill intentions toward you.” After a brief pause, he said decisively, “I, Xue Hai Chuan, swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath that as long as you, Duan Ling Tian, don’t take the initiative to harm me, I will never harm you as well. Otherwise, I’m willing to be killed by a supreme powerhouse.”

With this, it was guaranteed that as long as Duan Ling Tian did not provoke Xue Hai Chuan, Xue Hai Chuan would not be able to act against him.

Although Duan Ling Tian was rather certain Xue Hai Chuan would not harm him because he had spared Xue Hai Shan’s life, he felt more at ease after Xue Hai Chuan had sworn on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath.

Now that the atmosphere had improved even more, Duan Ling Tian laughed and said, “Let’s go out for a drink. The ambiance at the restaurant is much better!”

After Linghu Ren Jie made the arrangement, it did not take long for the manager of a high-end restaurant in Linghu City to come to the Linghu clan’s estate to lead Duan Ling Tian, Xue Hai Chuan, and Xue Hai Shan there.

The manager led the trio directly to the best private room in the restaurant as soon as they arrived.

The name of the private room was ‘Dragon Soaring Over the Four Seas’. This room was unavailable to most people. It was only reserved for those with positions higher than core elders in the Linghu clan to receive guests.

After a few rounds of drinks, Duan Ling Tian and the Xue brothers grew more comfortable with each other.

At this moment, Xue Hai Shan looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of admiration as he said, “Brother Duan, generally, I’m not easily impressed. I’m not even impressed by my brother. However, I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed by you.”

Xue Hai Chuan could only smile awkwardly as he listened to his brother listing out Duan Ling Tian’s achievements one after another.

Xue Hai Shan did not stop talking for a long time. He only fell silent when he finally got drunk. In fact, with his cultivation base, it was impossible for him to get drunk since he could easily use his Divine Energy to metabolize the alcohol in his body and sober up. However, he had clearly chosen not to do so.

When Duan Ling Tian and Xue Hai Chuan, who were only slightly drunk, saw the passed-out Xue Hai Shan, the duo sobered up using their Divine Energies.

Xue Hai Chuan said apologetically, “Brother Duan, my brother is very straightforward. If he offended you, I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said with a smile, “There’s nothing to apologize for. Brother Hai Shan is just honest.”

Following that, Xue Hai Chuan brought a pill bottle before he handed it to Duan Ling Tian and said, “Brother Duan, this is the Sun Quenching Divine Pill. It should be able to help you break through the bottleneck you’re facing.”

Based on Xue Hai Chuan’s words, it was clear he had probed Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base with his Divine Consciousness. Since he was an intermediate Lord of Gods, as long as he did not probe Duan Ling Tian’s soul, it would be difficult for Duan Ling Tian to discover that his cultivation base had been probed.

“The Sun Quenching Divine Pill?!” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes widened upon hearing Xue Hai Chuan’s words. He knew that the Sun Quenching Divine Pill was one of few lord-grade Divine Pills that could help him break through the bottleneck of his cultivation. Although he had the formula for the Sun Quenching Divine Pill, he was not able to refine it yet. He would need to study alchemy for a few moreyears before he could refine it. Apart from that, the ingredients needed to refine it were rare as well.

Although Duan Ling Tian wanted the Sun Quenching Divine Pill, he still resisted the urge to accept it immediately. Instead, he looked at Xue Hai Chuan and solemnly said, “Brother Hai Chuan, I’ll be honest with you. I desperately need the Sun Quenching Divine Pill so I won’t refuse it. However, I won’t accept them for nothing. I promise to repay you with a higher-grade Divine Pill in the future in exchange for this Sun Quenching Divine Pill.”

As long as Duan Ling Tian could not break through the bottleneck, it would be useless even if he continued to cultivate. The Divine Pills he possessed now could not help him at all until he had become an intermediate King of Gods. Hence, the Sun Quenching Divine Pill was very important to him.

“Brother Duan, there’s no need for that,” Xue Hai Chuan said as he shook his head upon seeing how courteous Duan Ling Tian was, “You’ve done me a great favor by sparing my brother’s life. A mere Sun Quenching Divine Pill is nothing compared to that life-saving

grace.”

Duan Ling Tian shook his head as well as he said truthfully, “It’s not like that. I only spared Brother Hai Shan because I could tell he had no intention of killing me. Otherwise, I would’ve killed him. The reason Brother Hai Shan is alive is due to his actions; it has nothing to do with me.”

Xue Hai Chuan was very impressed by Duan Ling Tian’s honesty. After listening to Duan Ling Tian, he knew Duan Ling Tian would not accept the Sun Quenching Divine Pill for nothing so he said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you to give me a higher-grade Divine Pill. After all, I heard that you’re already comparable to top lord-rank divine alchemists.”

After saying that Xue Hai Chuan handed the Sun Quenching Divine Pill to Duan Ling Tian.

After accepting the Sun Quenching Divine Pill, Duan Ling Tian said resolutely, “I won’t keep you waiting for long, Brother Hai Chuan! After I join the Flying Dragon Sect, within three years, I’ll give you a Divine Pill that’ll be of great use to you.”

“Join the Flying Dragon Sect?” Xue Hai Chuan was slightly surprised. Then, he said confidently with a smile on his face, “Duan Ling Tian, if you’re willing, I can recommend you, and you can join the Flying Dragon Sect immediately. Put your talent and comprehension skills aside, just your achievements in alchemy alone are enough for you to join the Flying Dragon Sect now.”

After carefully putting away the Sun Quenching Divine Pill, Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile, “Brother Hai Chuan, I plan to participate in the Latent Dragon Grand Contest in ten years.”

“I see.” With this, Xue Hai Chuan naturally understood why Duan Ling Tian did not want to join the Flying Dragon Sect now. He said, “I forgot that you’ll be rewarded with a Lord Breakthrough Divine Pill if you rank in the top ten of the Latent Dragon Grand Contest. This is indeed the best course of action for you. It seems like it won’t be too long before we meet again. I’ll see you again in ten years.”

“Very well! After ten years, I’ll look for you and Brother Hai Shan to have a drink with me! Let’s get drunk at that time!” Duan Ling Tian said with a laugh.

They continued chatting for a while more before Duan Ling Tian bade farewell to the Xue Hai Chuan.

“Brother Hai Chuan, please apologize to Brother Hai Shan on my behalf for not being able to send both of you off.”

At this time, Duan Ling Tian could no longer wait to consume the Sun Quenching Divine Pill so he could break through. “Don’t worry. Your cultivation is very important after all,” Xue Hai Chuan said with a kind smile on his face.
