Zhong Yun couldn’t help but become momentarily distracted.
Three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!
Yang Xiaotian actually condensed three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts!
However, immediately afterward, his heart surged with murderous intent.
It seemed that Yang Xiaotian must be eliminated.
Otherwise, in a few more years, the trouble would be endless.
Moments later, just as Zhong Lei was about to leave, Zhong Yun suddenly remembered something and instructed Zhong Lei to track down the whereabouts of Zhang Hao and Chen Lingyun among six others, saying that it was an order from the Mohe Divine Sect.
Upon learning that Zhang Hao, Chen Lingyun, and the other four had gone missing after arriving at the Tiandou Imperial City, Zhong Lei exclaimed in astonishment, “Missing!”
Zhong Yun’s face was extremely grave, “Indeed, they have been missing for many days. I fear that in a few days’ time, the Mohe Divine Sect will send even more experts here.”
Chen Lingyun was a Saint Realm, and the disappearance of an elder of the Saint Realm from the Mohe Divine Sect was definitely a matter of great urgency.
Zhong Lei also realized the gravity of the situation.
“These days, you must put aside all other matters and concentrate on finding the whereabouts of Elder Chen and the others,” Zhong Yun specifically instructed.
Zhong Lei respectfully complied.
After defeating Guo Wei, Yang Xiaotian claimed the first place in the first-year monthly exam.
However, he did not stay long at the Tiandou Academy and returned to his own residence.
Just as the Tiandou Academy’s monthly exam had ended not long before, an elegant and striking beauty appeared at the entrance of the academy—it was none other than Tian Meiling, one of the three great geniuses of the Inner Court Student of Tiandou Academy.
Tian Meiling had gone to train in the Liuli Imperial Country for over a month and had just returned today.
“What, the new student of this session, Yang Xiaotian, has condensed three Nine-Colored Sword Hearts?” Tian Meiling had just returned when Inner Court Student Tang Lin reported to her.
“Yes, and he has also cultivated two Supreme Divine Powers to the Summit Mastery realm!” Tang Lin added.
“Two Supreme Divine Powers, Summit Mastery!” Tian Meiling was utterly shocked.
During her training in the Liuli Imperial Country, she had the great opportunity to cultivate one Supreme Divine Power to the peak of the Perfection Realm, which already filled her with joy.
But a new student had cultivated two Supreme Divine Powers to Summit Mastery!
That was not all. Tang Lin continued, “This Yang Xiaotian, his talent in alchemy is also defying the heavens. It is said that he has crafted an exceptionally high-quality Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid without using a Medicine Cauldron.”
Without using a Medicine Cauldron!
Tian Meiling was greatly shocked, her face filled with disbelief.
Was there actually someone who could successfully craft elixirs without a Medicine Cauldron?
“Has Yang Xiaotian’s background been thoroughly investigated?” After a long pause, Tian Meiling inquired.
“It has been clarified,” Tang Lin swiftly responded. “He comes from the Yang Family Manor in Xingyue City of the Divine Sea Country. This Yang Family Manor is an extremely weak force; its manor lord is just a minor Innate Fifth Layer.”
“Right, Yang Xiaotian had offended Wang Fan and Liu Shuang from the Medicine Hall a few days ago.”
She then recounted the incident when Yang Xiaotian, accompanied by Wu Qi, stormed into the Pharmacist Hall a few days earlier and nearly blasted Liu Shuang to death.
“The Empire Pharmacist Hall has already sent experts down here. They must be arriving today, intending to capture Yang Xiaotian and bring him back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall to face charges,” Tang Lin shook her head. “This Yang Xiaotian, who could he have offended if not Wang Fan and Liu Shuang?”
Everyone knew that Wang Fan’s brother was the Great Elder of the Empire Pharmacist Hall.
Tian Meiling pondered, “This Yang Xiaotian, he could be of use to us.”
Tang Lin was astonished, “Sister, you want him to join our Sword Alliance?”
Tian Meiling was one of the three great geniuses of the Inner Court of Tiandou Academy, and with the help of her family’s power, she established an organization within the academy called the Sword Alliance.
Ninety percent of the Sword Alliance’s members were Inner Court Students of Tiandou Academy, representing a considerable force.
Tian Meiling nodded, “Yang Xiaotian has such talent in alchemy, he could craft elixirs for our Sword Alliance in the future.”
Tang Lin understood Tian Meiling’s intention; their Sword Alliance had to purchase a large batch of elixirs every month for their own use, which was a significant expenditure. If Yang Xiaotian could craft elixirs for their Sword Alliance, they would be able to save on this huge cost.
“Only, Yang Xiaotian might not be willing,” Tang Lin said.
In plain words, Tian Meiling wanted Yang Xiaotian to craft elixirs for the Sword Alliance for free in the future.
Tian Meiling said confidently with a smile, “Unwilling? He comes from the modest Yang Family Manor and has only managed to attract one Emperor Realm expert. Now he has offended the Empire Pharmacist Hall, and no one can protect him.”
“As long as he joins my Sword Alliance, both my Sword Alliance and the Tian Family can offer him protection, and settle the matter with the Empire Pharmacist Hall for him.”
“If he doesn’t join my Sword Alliance, it’s a dead end for him!”
“Therefore, he must join my Sword Alliance. Even if he’s reluctant, he has no choice but to join.”
“Yang Xiaotian’s residence is near the academy, shall I go there now?” Tang Lin asked.
“I’ll go with you,” Tian Meiling pondered.
Thus, the two made their way to Yang Xiaotian’s residence.
Yang Xiaotian was in the courtyard practicing the Heaven-Penetrating Sword Technique when Ate came in to report that there was someone named Tian Meiling from Tiandou Academy asking to see him.
“Tian Meiling?” Yang Xiaotian was surprised.
He certainly knew who Tian Meiling was alongside He Qingzhe and Chen Jun, she was hailed as one of the three great geniuses of the Inner Court of Tiandou Academy, and moreover, she came from the Tian Family of the Divine Dragon Empire.
The Tian Family was one of the oldest noble families in the Divine Dragon Empire, with their influence spread throughout the cities of the empire, an enormous entity.
“Let her in,” Yang Xiaotian said.
Soon, Ate led Tian Meiling and Tang Lin inside.
Tian Meiling, dressed in a Luo skirt, exuded a heroic spirit and possessed a distinct kind of beauty.
Upon seeing Yang Xiaotian, she didn’t circumvent pleasantries but went straight to the point.
“Join your Sword Alliance?” Yang Xiaotian did not expect Tian Meiling’s visit was to propose his joining the Sword Alliance.
“Correct, join my Sword Alliance,” Tian Meiling said. “You’ve offended the Empire Pharmacist Hall. By joining our Sword Alliance, both the Alliance and the Tian Family can protect you.”
“However, upon joining our Sword Alliance, you’ll need to craft elixirs for us every month.”
Yang Xiaotian smiled, “Craft elixirs for your Sword Alliance?”
He had grasped Tian Meiling’s intention.
It seemed she wanted to use him as a sort of alchemy slave.
Many great families kept alchemy slaves; these slaves had to follow the families’ orders to craft elixirs every month. What elixirs to craft and in what quantity was dictated by these families.
If they failed to complete their tasks, these alchemy slaves would suffer.
Sure enough, Tian Meiling said, “Exactly, you will craft elixirs for our Sword Alliance in the future, and I will tell you what elixirs when the time comes.”
She was about to continue, but Yang Xiaotian interrupted her directly, “Both of you, please return.”
He had no interest in hearing more.
Tian Meiling paused and said, “Yang Xiaotian, think it over carefully. Experts from the Empire Pharmacist Hall are probably on their way here, and if you don’t join our Sword Alliance, they will surely capture you and take you back to the Empire Pharmacist Hall to answer for your offenses!”
As she spoke, she glanced at the side at Wu Qi, “That must be the Emperor Realm expert by your side, right? Let me tell you, the Empire Pharmacist Hall has sent two Martial Venerables this time—he can’t protect you completely.”
“Also, if he dares to intervene, the experts from the Pharmacist Hall will simply crush him to death!”
