Chapter 574: Causing A Stir

"Besides that… Pavilion Master, this grade four spirit sword doesn’t provide an amplification of 59%." The old man looked at the middle aged man, and he seemed to have thought of something.
"It doesn’t provide an amplification of 59%?" The middle aged man frowned, and then he sized up the spirit sword in his hand once more. "Could it be that I’m mistaken? This spirit sword has a deceptive appearance?"
"No." The old man shook his head and laughed bitterly. "Pavilion Master, this spirit sword doesn’t only provide an amplification of 59%... It is able to provide an amplification of 60%!"
60%!
The old man’s words entered into the middle aged man, and it seemed like a thunderclap that caused the middle aged man to be dazed.
A 60% amplification?
In next to no time, the middle aged man had a serious expression as he held the sword and tested it.
Along with his Origin Energy surging on the sword in his hand, ancient horned dragon and ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared above him…
In the end, he finally confirmed it.
"It really provides a 60% amplification!" Instantly, the middle aged man’s face flushed red, and his eyes that looked at the spirit sword in his hand flickered with a dazzling bright light.
His chest rose and fell like a bellow, and it was difficult for him to calm down even after a long time.
The old man wasn’t surprised by the middle aged man’s loss of composure.
As far as he was concerned, the Pavilion Master was a grade four Weapons Craftsman, and when the Pavilion Master saw a grade four spirit weapon with such a terrifying amplification, it was natural for the Pavilion Master to be burning with eagerness.
"What has that young man offered this spirit sword as reward for?" The middle aged man looked at the old man with a burning gaze as he asked.
If it was possible, he wanted to obtain this grade four spirit sword.
If a grade four spirit sword that provided an amplification of 60% fell into his hands, then after he carefully studied it, he would perhaps be able to improve his attainment in the Dao of Weapons Refinement.
Perhaps, he would be able to refine a spirit weapon with a 59% amplification because of this, or even refine a grade four spirit weapon with a 60% amplification.
"Pavilion Master, the thing that young man is looking for is a type of medicinal material… He called that medicinal material as Ageless Root!" The old man replied.
"Ageless Root?" The middle aged man frowned. "What’s that? I’ve never heard of it."
"Even Pavilion Master hasn’t heard of it?" The old man was stunned.
As far as he was concerned, this was an extremely unbelievable thing.
The Pavilion Master was a top figure that stood at the peak of the Darkhan Dynasty.
Logically speaking, there were few things that the Pavilion Master didn’t know.
"Did he say what characteristics the medicinal material possesses?" The middle aged man continued asking.
"Yes." The old man nodded, and then he pa.s.sed on everything the violet clothed young man said earlier.
Not only that, the old man even copied Duan Ling Tian’s actions and drew out the Ageless Root.
The Ageless Root’s characteristics were extremely obvious, and it was formed entirely naturally.
An ordinary root state medicinal material was utterly unable to grow into this appearance.
"What a peculiar medicinal material!" The middle aged man’s eyes squinted and he was slightly shocked.
With just a glance, he’d discerned that this medicinal material was extraordinary.
Duan Ling Tian naturally didn’t know what happened in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion after he left.
Presently, he was sitting by the window in a restaurant in Milky Way City, and he looked at the people on the busy streets and the Void Prying Stage martial artists and demon beasts that flashed past in the sky.
"I wonder where that little fellow, Little Gold, is now…" Duan Ling Tian’s eyes contained slight worry.
The little gold mouse had always been bad with directions and was even swept away by the sandstorm, and this caused Duan Ling Tian to be extremely worried.
In next to no time, fragrant dishes had arrived.
But Duan Ling Tian instead didn’t have the appet.i.te.
In next to no time, the guests in the restaurant grew more and more, and at the same time, it became bustling.
"Hey! Have you heard? A task issued by the Treasure Gathering Pavilion half an hour ago is offering a reward for a rare medicinal material." A middle aged man had just sat down before saying to his companion at the same table.
"Don’t people frequently offer a reward for medicinal materials in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion? What’s so strange about that?" His companion regarded it as beneath his notice.
"Hehe… You don’t know something." The middle aged man shook his head. "Do you know what the reward is for the medicinal material?"
"What is it?" The latter’s curiosity was aroused.
"A grade four spirit sword!" The middle aged man spoke clearly with words that was extremely shocking.
"What?!" Instantly, the packed restaurant was in a complete uproar.
"A grade four spirit sword as reward for a medicinal material?"
"Is this really true?"
…
Many customers in the restaurant slightly didn’t believe it.
As far as they were concerned, how rare was a grade four spirit weapon? How could a mere medicinal material compare to it?
Even if it was the most valuable medicinal material they knew of, its worth in their eyes was far inferior to a grade four spirit weapon.
"If all of you don’t believe me, feel free to go take a look at the main hall at the first floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion after you finish eating… That task is presently hung on the most conspicuous bulletin board in the main hall!" The middle aged man was instantly unhappy when he saw people doubting him.
When they heard the middle aged man, the customers in the restaurant slightly believe him.
"Who’s so generous to actually want to exchange a grade four spirit weapon for a medicinal material… After I finish eating, I’ll surely go take a look at what medicinal material he wants to exchange for it!"
"Yeah, if we have that medicinal material in our possessions, that we’ll make a fortune!"
"Quickly finish eating so we can go take a look."
…
Many people started gulping down their food, and they swept through the food on their tables.
"Hehe… All of you should go quickly! If you’re later, then it’s very likely that someone would beat you to the punch." The middle aged man laughed when he saw this scene, and he spoke with a desire to stir up trouble. "Right, I forget to tell of all you something…. The grade four spirit weapon in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion that’s provided as the reward is a grade four spirit weapon that is able to provide an amplification of 60%!"
Silence.
Along with the middle aged man finis.h.i.+ng, the interior of the restaurant was completely deathly silent.
Numerous gazes shot onto the middle aged man in unison.
After a short moment.
Cras.h.!.+ Cras.h.!.+ Cras.h.!.+ Cras.h.!.+ Cras.h.!.+
…
A wave of sounds of bowls and plates falling to the ground and shattering sounded out. Some of the customers had become dazed, and the bowls and plates in their hands fell down accidentally.
"60% amplification? Are you sure?" In next to no time, someone gasped and looked at the middle aged man as he asked in confirmation.
"The Treasure Gathering Pavilion said this… As for the credibility of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, I presume all of you are clear about it. They’ve never made an overstatement for anything!" said the middle aged man.
"Motherf**ker! I’m not fu**king eating anymore! Waiter, the bill." Instantly, there were people that paid their bills and left.
After a short moment, only two tables of people didn’t leave in the entire restaurant.
Besides the middle aged man’s table, only Duan Ling Tian’s table remained.
Presently, these two tables seemed to stand out.
"Eh." The middle aged man was instantly slightly surprised when he saw someone so composed. "Little Brother, you’re not going to go join in the fun? Perhaps you have that medicinal material in your possession."
Duan Ling Tian raised his head and smiled lightly. "Perhaps."
After Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he started to immerse himself in eating and drinking.
Join in the fun?
If this middle aged man knew that the grade four spirit sword was placed in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion by him, the middle aged man would probably not say this.
"Looks like my plan is correct… The influence of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion is extremely large. I presume it won’t be long before the news of a grade four spirit sword that provides an amplification of 60% is being provided in exchange for the Ageless Root would spread out extremely far." After eating his fill, Duan Ling Tian paid his bill and left before looking for an inn to stay in.
"Three months later, no matter if there’s an outcome, I must leave the Darkhan Dynasty and return to the Darkstone Empire… Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it for the Young Genius Compet.i.tion of the Darkstone Empire!" Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after he found a place to stay.
Duan Ling Tian closed his eyes and rested his mind after lying in the bath barrel that had steam rising from it.
"I hope Little Gold has already returned to the Darkstone Empire." Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart.
He was always unable to stop worrying about the little gold mouse in his heart.
Although the little gold mouse was a demon beast that followed by his side after Little Black and Little White, during these few years, Little Black and Little White weren’t by his side, and it had always been Little Gold that followed by his side.
He’d long since had deep feelings towards Little Gold, and he’d taken Little Gold to be a loved one in his heart.
After he finished bathing, Duan Ling Tian changed into a set of dry clothes before sitting cross-legged on the bed, intending to cultivate.
After he consumed a Void Strengthening Pill, Duan Ling Tian closed his eyes and started cultivating.
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Lightning Wyrm Form!
During this period of time, Duan Ling Tian planned to stay in Milky Way City and not go out any more.
Firstly, he wanted to quietly cultivate.
Secondly, he was worried that Little Gold would appear in Milky Way City.
Milky Way City was too chaotic.
During these few days, Duan Ling Tian had walked around Milky Way City and he was able to see many martial artists losing their lives.
In Milky Way City, the definition of the law of the jungle was explained extremely perfectly.
Two months pa.s.sed.
Duan Ling Tian underwent the final breakthrough.
So long as he charged through the bottleneck, he would be able to breakthrough to the sixth level of the Void Prying Stage in one go.
This time, Duan Ling Tian spent three days and three nights before finally smoothly breaking through.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Origin Energy on Duan Ling Tian’s body surged and roared.
Swoos.h.!.+
As he looked at the 8,000 ancient mammoth silhouettes that had condensed into form in the sky above him after the energy of heaven and earth roiled… Duan Ling Tian revealed a wisp of a smile.
"I’ve finally broken through!" Duan Ling Tian’s mood was elated.
"The next seventh level of the Void Prying Stage will be another critical threshold… If nothing unexpected happens, I’m afraid it’s impossible for me to break through before the Young Genius Compet.i.tion of the Darkstone Empire begins." This was something that Duan Ling Tian knew extremely well in his heart.
"I hope there will be some leads to the Ageless Root."
The Rebirth Pill was a turning point for him, but unfortunately, he must first find the Ageless Root to refine the Rebirth Pill.
Otherwise, all this would only be a dream.
"I have to leave in a month from now… I’ll go around during this month and see if Little Gold has come to Milky Way City."
In the following month, besides cultivating, Duan Ling Tian moved about all around Milky Way City.
Of course, he didn’t cause trouble himself, and he intentionally avoided those martial artists at the ninth level of the Void Prying Stage or above.
If a martial artist below the ninth level of the Void Prying Stage offended him, then he wouldn’t hold back and directly killed the martial artist swiftly.
Presently, Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation had stepped into the sixth level of the Void Prying Stage, and his Spiritual Force had been pushed to the eighth level of the Void Prying Stage.
So long as they weren’t Inscription Masters, then he was able to kill all martial artists below the ninth level of the Void Prying Stage.
Bang!
A corpse fell down before Duan Ling Tian.
This was an eighth level Void Prying Stage martial artist that had comprehended Advanced Force.
