Chapter 330: Sneak Attack
Three days later, Tianluo Mountain.
In the huge dragon blood stone mine, hundreds of miners carried huge stones weighing tens of thousands of pounds on their shoulders. Although they were sweating profusely, their faces were filled with excitement and joy.
This was the last batch of dragon blood stones. Nie Tian ordered that all miners could get an extra 10,000 low-grade Yuan crystals after finishing today's work.
Most of these miners were Wanxiang Realm warriors, and they were all invited by the Great Yuan Chamber of Commerce. They had already been paid high salaries, and Nie Tian just gave them another surprise.
Anyway, during this period of time, Nie Tian had already made a lot of money just from the city fees and martial arts registration fees. Hundreds of miners and millions of low-grade Yuan crystals were nothing to him.
The main reason was that Nie Tian was very happy today. The mining of the dragon blood stone vein was completed faster than he expected, which meant that he could refine half of the dragon blood in his hand into pure "dragon blood" in advance.
Half of the dragon blood stone, after being carefully refined by a third-level alchemist, can be refined into more than 600 drops of "dragon blood". Ruoyu Qianye can rely on these "dragon blood" to ensure that he will not be tortured by the blood-eating power within two months.
As for the remaining half of the dragon blood stone, it was directly transported to the Alchemist Guild of Danwu City, which is an absolutely safe place and no force dares to intrude.
"Brother Nie, are you going to participate in the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Conference?" Gu Yi stood beside Nie Tian, and the latter asked with a smile on his face with his goatee raised.
Nie Tian certainly knew why the latter was happy, because just yesterday, Gu Yi comprehended a trace of the true meaning of the alchemy from the ninth-level alchemy formula given to him by Nie Tian, and his mental power, which had been stagnant for a long time, was upgraded by one level to the sixty-third level.
The improvement of mental power is very difficult in itself, not only closely related to talent, but sometimes it depends on opportunities. In the later stage of mental power, each level of improvement is like climbing a ladder to heaven.
Gu Yi's mental power has been stagnant at the sixty-second level for two years, and he was of course happy when he suddenly broke through and improved.
He knew that Nie Tian was in urgent need of the Dragon Blood Stone, and it seemed to be related to a girl named Ruoyu Qianye in the City Lord's Mansion. So he guessed that Nie Tian would also participate in the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Conference this time.
"Yeah." Nie Tian nodded, glanced at Tong Fu beside Gu Yi, and said, "I hope I won't meet Ah Fu then."
Tong Fu had just finished his retreat and was now a first-level Zhen Yuan warrior.
Nie Tian estimated that with Tong Fu's current strength, coupled with his eighth-level legendary Yuan Ling Destruction Hammer, he could easily defeat his opponent even if he met a second-level or even third-level Zhen Yuan warrior.
"Mr. Nie, don't worry. If I meet you, I will definitely show mercy." Tong Fu smiled and said with some pride.
Gu Yi's face sank, knocked Tong Fu, and said, "Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about. What do you mean by showing mercy? You have to admit defeat directly."
"Uh..." Tong Fu hesitated, and then said helplessly: "Then admit defeat directly."
Nie Tian smiled faintly and said nothing.
Gu Yi glanced at Tong Fu and said in his heart: "Stinky boy, big brother is doing this for your own good. Do you think you can beat Nie Tian after you advance to the True Yuan Realm? Dream on!"
Gu Yi had seen Nie Tian slaughter Luo Fen with his own eyes. Although he did not see how Nie Tian defeated Luo Fen, he saw with his own eyes that Nie Tian withstood the joint attack of two True Yuan Level 5 warriors.
There was also the red giant beast Yuan Ling that Nie Tian showed that day. That kind of powerful and domineering kingly momentum that dominated the world, now recalling it, is a surge of excitement in his heart.
So Gu Yi believed that even if Tong Fu and Nie Tian let go of the battle, they would definitely lose.
At this time, Nie Tian noticed that Ding Yifan on the side looked a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "Young Master Ding, you will also participate in the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Conference."
Ding Yifan blushed and responded: "Just joining in the fun."
Originally, Ding Yifan was full of confidence and thought that he could get a good ranking in the Dragon Blood Martial Arts Conference. But now strong men like Nie Tian and Tong Fu will participate, and recently many geniuses from other three domains have appeared in Tianluo City and Danwu City, and even people from Xumi Lingdu have appeared. His idea of getting a good ranking has basically been strangled in the cradle.
Now his mentality is good, just participate casually, just as a way to prove his strength.
Ding Yifan suddenly remembered that just over a month ago, when Nie Tian just came to Tianluo City, the two met for the first time in Tianluo Mountain.
At that time, Nie Tian only had the strength of Wanxiang three levels, and Ding Yifan didn't even have the desire to look at him straight.
Now in a short period of time, Nie Tian has reached the strength of Juling first level, and Ding Yifan is also the strength of Juling first level.
But Nie Tian's combat power is far better than him. Recalling the scene of Nie Tian defeating Gu Qiulin with a sword three days ago, Ding Yifan still finds it incredible.
Life is really interesting, it's a different time.
Now it's Nie Tian's turn to not have the desire to look at Ding Yifan straight.
Seeing Ding Yifan was a little depressed, Nie Tian said seriously: "The path of martial arts is to go against the will of heaven, just like climbing a ladder to heaven. Some people walk fast, some walk slowly, but as long as the heart of martial arts is firm, you will definitely reach the top of the ladder."
These words have the meaning of teaching people. If they were said by other teenagers or martial artists of the same age, Ding Yifan would definitely be disgusted, but when Nie Tian said it, Ding Yifan felt extremely gratified and nodded excitedly.
Nie Tian nodded lightly.
The path of martial arts, the heart of martial arts, cannot tolerate the slightest sand. If the heart is not firm, how can you go far.
Gu Yi also nodded repeatedly, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Brother Nie, has Tianluo City been peaceful these days? Did the old man Diao Zhengde cause you any trouble?"
Nie Tian smiled slightly and said: "There is no movement at the moment."
Gu Yi looked strange and frowned: "This is not Diao Zhengde's nature. The old man will never give up. You tortured and killed his precious illegitimate child in public, and he will definitely take crazy revenge. Is it because he has too many illegitimate children and forgot for a while?"
Gu Yi knew that Diao Zhengde was a playboy and left children everywhere. He has only restrained himself a little in recent years. Luo Fan is just one of his many illegitimate children.
"Huh?" At this moment, Nie Tian's brows suddenly tightened, and then shouted: "Be careful!"
"Shua!" Before the voice fell, a sharp sword energy whistled past, and it swept past Nie Tian's face.
Fortunately, Nie Tian reacted in time, but even so, a blood mark appeared on his face.
"Who is it?" Nie Tian roared, turned around suddenly, and saw a black figure standing a hundred meters away, like a sharp sword, motionless.
The black figure stared at Nie Tian from afar with murderous eyes, and the cold murderous intent spread a hundred meters away, covering Nie Tian.
Feeling the other party's murderous intent, Nie Tian couldn't help but frown, and was surprised: "There are Danwu guards lurking within a thousand meters around. This person can actually get close to the dragon blood stone vein within a hundred meters without being noticed. Even before he took action, I didn't notice his existence. This lurking method is really brilliant!"
At this moment, Nie Tian has already concluded in his heart that the black-clothed man in front of him is definitely a killer.
And he is a top killer!
