Chapter 214: Only 8 Left
Moreover, all the medicinal materials of the sect could be used by him; such conditions were a clear indication of the True Dragon Divine Sect’s sincerity.
The most critical point was that Yang Xiaotian had wanted to join the True Dragon Divine Sect all along.
At this moment, Liang Yafei added, “Furthermore, all the cultivation techniques, secret tomes, and supreme divine powers in the sect’s Book Pavilion are at your disposal to browse through.”
All supreme divine powers, cultivation techniques, and secret tomes were available for him to peruse.
This kind of treatment was something even core disciples could not enjoy.
Even core disciples had to exchange sect contribution points to browse through the Book Pavilion’s cultivation techniques and divine powers.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Miaomiao felt it was unfair and said, “Master, this isn’t appropriate, even core disciples need to exchange sect contribution points to access the sect’s Book Pavilion’s cultivation techniques and divine powers.”
“Yang Xiaotian has made no contributions to the sect at all.”
Not to mention her dissatisfaction as a core disciple, other core disciples of the True Dragon Divine Sect would definitely feel the same if they knew.
Liang Yafei glanced at Zhu Miaomiao and reprimanded her, “Whether it’s appropriate or not has nothing to do with you.”
Zhu Miaomiao lowered her head in acknowledgement, not daring to interject further.
However, inside she felt increasingly displeased with Yang Xiaotian.
Liang Yafei smiled at Yang Xiaotian and asked, “Friend Yang, what do you think?”
“Good,” Yang Xiaotian nodded.
Hearing Yang Xiaotian’s agreement, Liang Yafei laughed heartily, very pleased, “Congratulations to Friend Yang on joining our True Dragon Divine Sect!” He then took out a token, “This is the identity token of a core disciple of the True Dragon Divine Sect, please keep it safe, Friend Yang.”
“I shall be returning to the sect tomorrow, would Friend Yang care to return to the sect with me?”
Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “I still have some matters to attend to.”
He had to go to the Red Moon Forest to subdue the Iceflame Qilin.
After that, he made an agreement with Liang Yafei to report to the True Dragon Divine Sect within three months.
Liang Yafei, not wanting to press Yang Xiaotian, reminded him of a few matters and then left Azure Dragon Residence.
But just as Liang Yafei had barely left, Zhao Jinzhou from the Sky-Stepping Sect arrived hot on his heels.
Zhao Jinzhou had also come on behalf of the Sky-Stepping Sect to recruit Yang Xiaotian as a sect disciple.
Seeing Zhao Jinzhou, Yang Xiaotian was quite surprised; after all, his relations with Long Xingkong and Zhu Xuan were very stiff, especially with Zhu Xuan – had he not fled quickly in the Thunder God Cave, Zhu Xuan would have killed him long ago.
Zhao Jinzhou, upon seeing Yang Xiaotian’s silence, spoke up, “So, what do you say, Yang Xiaotian? If you join our Sky-Stepping Sect, you’ll immediately become an inner sect disciple, second only to one and above millions!”
As he said this, he spoke proudly, “Our Sky-Stepping Sect is the foremost among the Empire’s ten supreme sects, with strength far surpassing that of the other nine supreme sects.”
Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said bluntly, “Elder Liang Yafei just came by; I have already joined the True Dragon Divine Sect.” Saying this, he took out the core disciple token given to him by Liang Yafei.
Zhao Jinzhou, initially excited, saw the token in Yang Xiaotian’s hand and his expression darkened, “Yang Xiaotian, the True Dragon Divine Sect is no match for our Sky-Stepping Sect.”
“If you change your mind now and join our Sky-Stepping Sect, the True Dragon Divine Sect wouldn’t dare to utter a word,” he said.
With that, his eyes grew cold, “If you refuse to join our Sky-Stepping Sect, then you are an enemy of the Sky-Stepping Sect!”
Hearing Zhao Jinzhou’s threatening words, Yang Xiaotian responded indifferently, “Is that so.”
Zhao Jinzhou, seeing Yang Xiaotian disregard his warning with dismay filled with murderous intent, said, “Do you believe that I can kill you right now!” His aura of the Saint Realm locked on to Yang Xiaotian.
A hundred years from now, Yang Xiaotian was expected to achieve the title of Medicine God. Since Yang Xiaotian was unwilling to join Sky-Stepping Sect, he would rather kill Yang Xiaotian now than let him benefit the True Dragon Divine Sect!
“I advise you not to take any action; otherwise, you will die without a complete corpse,” Yang Xiaotian said coldly, looking at Zhao Jinzhou.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinzhou was taken aback, and then he laughed furiously. As the patriarch of the Sky-Stepping Sect, he had lived a life of killing and countless battles, yet he had never been threatened like this by a Martial King Realm cultivator.
Zhao Jinzhou stared at Yang Xiaotian, his mind seething with murderous intent.
But just at that moment, suddenly, Luo Qing came in to report that Feng Lei, the ancient ancestor of the Maha Divine Sect, was outside and wished to meet Yang Xiaotian.
Zhao Jinzhou reined in his killing intent and looked coldly at Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, I can take your little life anytime, don’t think that just because Long Lan is backing you up, he can keep you safe!”
“If my Sky-Stepping Sect wants to kill you, no one can protect you!”
Having said that, he left with a flick of his sleeve.
“Young Master.” Luo Qing couldn’t help but look worried, “The Sky-Stepping Sect, are we…?”
“It’s fine, please invite Feng Lei in,” Yang Xiaotian shook his head.
Luo Qing nodded.
Soon after, Feng Lei came in, and like Zhao Jinzhou, he also wanted to recruit Yang Xiaotian as a sect disciple. The conditions offered by the Maha Divine Sect were equally good, no weaker than the True Dragon Divine Sect.
Yang Xiaotian also rejected the offer.
Feng Lei, having learned that Yang Xiaotian had joined the True Dragon Divine Sect, sighed for a long time before finally leaving.
After that, experts from the Ancient Divine Palace and the Green Divine Sect also came in succession, all for the purpose of taking Yang Xiaotian as a sect disciple.
In the end, even the Tianchen Pavilion came.
The Tianchen Pavilion was shrouded in mystery, its sect disciples rarely showed themselves, and the empire’s Imperial and Saint Rankings were all released by it. The sect was located inside the primeval forest, and Yang Xiaotian hadn’t expected an expert from Tianchen Pavilion to come, let alone an ancient ancestor.
In the end, Yang Xiaotian simply shut his doors and focused on subduing the Earth Flame within the courtyard.
With the experience of subduing the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire, the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame, and the Flame of Stars, Yang Xiaotian became quite proficient in subduing the Earth Flame. He operated the Controlling Fire Technique and smoothly subdued the Earth Flame.
The Earth Flame was the first among Abnormal Fires.
Now, with the addition of the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame, he possessed two of the top ten Abnormal Fires.
“Still eight to go,” Yang Xiaotian murmured to himself.
Legend had it that if one could collect all ten strongest Abnormal Fires and release them together, their power would be incomparable, not inferior to some Divine Flames.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
The Black Flood Dragon King and the Azure Thunder Python had already refined the Dragon Essence from that True Dragon Bead completely.
But to Yang Xiaotian’s disappointment, neither of them had succeeded in their bloodline returning to its ancestral state.
“Although I haven’t returned to my ancestors, my bloodline is now one step closer to that of a Divine Beast. If I could get another bead like this True Dragon Bead, I should be able to evolve into a Divine Beast,” said the Black Flood Dragon King.
Another bead?
Yang Xiaotian frowned.
A True Dragon Bead was as rare as Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water, where would he find another?
Yang Xiaotian thought of Shi Yongping.
Being the Grand Master of Pharmacists in the Empire, Shi Yongping might know something about the whereabouts of a True Dragon Bead.
Afterward, Yang Xiaotian went to the Empire Pharmacist Hall to find Shi Yongping.
When Shi Yongping learned that Yang Xiaotian was looking for a True Dragon Bead, he mused, “I have been wanting to refine a water-attributed True Dragon Holy Pill for years and have collected many materials. I do indeed know a place where there is a True Dragon Bead.”
“The only problem is that place is too dangerous, even I cannot enter.”
Shi Yongping was at the peak of the ten layers of the Saint Realm, and the fact that even he couldn’t enter showed how difficult it must be.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian was overjoyed, “May I know where it is? I would be infinitely grateful if the Grand Hall Master could tell me,” said Yang Xiaotian.
