Duan Ling Tian sneered and understood what he meant. His body moved and floated in front of Shao Gang, then he slapped him a few times. His slap was even spicier as Shao Gang's lackey fell onto the ground with a slap.

"Bullshit Eight Great Villa, even if you're slow to my young master, you still have a good time!"

Qi Liang shouted, "Scram! Don't let me see you again. Tell your master that my young master is busy!"

"If you dare to hit me, our eight great villas will not forgive you." Shao Gang was still trying to put on a brave front even though he was fierce inside out. Qi Liang was about to hit him again, but the few of them were so scared that they scrambled away.

"Hehehe …" Duan Ling Tian laughed happily, as he hadn't been so happy in a long time.

"Young Master, did I get into trouble beating up the people from the Eight Great Villa?" Qi Liang was still a little worried.

"Don't be afraid. As long as I, Duan Ru, am here, you'll be safe. I haven't even noticed a mere eight great villas. Even if the eight great villas are powerful, I, Duan Ru, am not someone to be trifled with."

Qi Liang laughed. "Then I was too lenient just now. I should have needed that lackey's arm."

"Hehehe, that's not bad either. Just give them a lesson and they will not care how fierce the fight is. Even so, they will know when they return."

"Young Master, I wonder if the eight great villas have any experts?"

"So what if he has an expert? Is he even stronger than someone in the tribulation stage?"

"True, it's even more powerful than the tribulation stage. Once it ascends to the Immortal World, it will no longer exist in the mortal world."

"So, what are we afraid of? You all have a helper at the Divine Tribulation Realm. Come out and let them beat us up." Once Duan Ru said this, Qi Liang was completely at ease.

Previously, Qi Liang was still worried, fearing that his Young Master would get into trouble. Now that Duan Ren mentioned it, he wished he could find those people and beat them up again.

"Who is young master Duan?" Just as Duan Ling Tian was speaking to Qi Liang, a person walked in from outside.

Duan Meng looked around but didn't recognize the person. However, he guessed that it was most likely someone from the eight great villas.

"I'm Duan Ren, who are you?"

The person who came immediately paid his respects to Duan Ru and knelt down, "Young Master Duan, our Manor Lord has the honour to welcome you."

"Who is your Manor Lord?" "We are members of the Eight Great Villa, I am the butler, Baoyu. Just now, Young Villa Master was disrespectful to you, and the Villa Master has already severely punished the Young Villa Master. Please rest assured Young Master Duan, our Villa Master has no ill intentions."

Duan Ru naturally wasn't afraid. Not to mention Duan Meng having an expert at transcending heavenly tribulation hiding within the Refinement Sky Diagram, even Duan Ru's own cultivation was at the Nascent Soul stage. This was his true power, but he also had a powerful soul force. With his spiritual force, even a tribulation level character wouldn't be afraid.

Not to mention that Duan Meng had another clone, which was the Golden Horned Devouring Beast. Its power was beyond the tribulation level. The golden horned devouring beast wasn't a thing of the mortal world. It wouldn't ascend even after surpassing the tribulation level, so it could freely ascend to the Celestial Realm. However, it was a clone of Duan Jian, and as long as Duan Jian didn't ascend, the devouring beast would lose its ability.

In the end, Duan Ling Tian relied on the Refinement Sky Diagram, so even if Duan Jian was powerless, as long as he could drill a hole through the Refinement Sky Diagram, he would be able to eat, drink, and slowly cultivate. Duan Yi did not have to be afraid, but, this was the last thing he would rely on, unless it was absolutely necessary, the Swallowing Beast and the Refinement Sky Diagram could not be revealed.

"Sure, lead the way!"

After Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, he waved his hand. Qi Liang, little phoenix immortal, and black rock dragon understood, and they all followed him to the eight great villas. Along the way, they received the highest level of courtesy from the eight great villas, as if they were welcoming honored guests.

Arriving at the Manor's great hall, the moment Duan Jian walked in, he saw eight people sitting in a row in the great hall. Duan Ru immediately understood why this villa was called the Eight Great Villa.

The moment Duan Ru entered, the eight people all stood up in unison and came to the entrance to welcome him. One of them then said, "Haha, Young Master Duan really does bring honor to your presence. Please sit."

Of course, Duan Jian wouldn't sit down immediately and wait for the introductions. The origins of these eight people … He wasn't sure yet.

This is the Second Manor Lord Ba Shui, this is the Third Manor Lord Ba Hai, this is the Fourth Manor Lord Ba Chuan, the Fifth Villa Master Ba Tian, the Sixth Villa Master Ba Te, the Seventh Villa Master Ba Zuo and the Eighth Villa Master Ba Te. The eight of us are siblings from the same mother.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I just had some conflict with the Young Manor Lord, please forgive me …"

"Hehe, it's alright. That child of mine is asking for a beating. Since he's already used to doing things in the villa, he's basically looking down on everyone else. Since he's seen an extraordinary person like Young Master Duan, it's only right that he be taught a lesson."

Duan Jian was at ease when he met the Grand Manor Lord's modesty.

"For what reason did the manor lord invite me here?" Duan Meng had to ask clearly, or else he would be scared of saying something. Even though the people of the Ice Continent were straightforward, this meant that the ordinary people, these formidable people who could call the wind and rain, were all very scheming, and he himself would fall into a trap if he wasn't careful.

Eldest Manor Lord Ba Shan took out a piece of tattered sheepskin. Duan Ru was shocked when he saw this.

This was a sheepskin similar to the treasure map that he had seen. Could it be that the eight great villas had one as well?

"This is a treasure map. Our eight great villas have kept it for a very long time, but we are unable to fully understand its profoundness. After some discussion, we decided to give it to Young Master Duan as a present."

Duan Meng was stunned for a moment. The eight great villas were so generous, giving him such a great gift as soon as they saw each other. He was definitely not a simple person. Duan Jian thought about it for a moment and felt that something was amiss.

The grand eight great villas never asked for anyone. They were always asked for help from others, so why did they give him such a heavy gift? There was a way to do this.

"Grand Manor Lord, you are too courteous. This treasure map is of great importance, I will not accept it if I have no achievements."

Ba Shan was stunned for a moment before smiling. "Young Master Duan, you're a Grade 9 Alchemist. We don't seek for anything else but for you to concoct a batch of Grade 9 Spirit Pills. Don't think too much about it."

Duan Ru understood. The eight great villas were naturally envious when they saw that he could concoct Tier 9 spiritual energy pills. They weren't here to exchange for him, but for him to refine. This plan was quite shrewd.

"How much do you need?"

"We have materials that can be used to make 100 thousand of them."

Duan Ling Tian was stunned upon hearing this. What big words. His own Heavenly Dragon Grass was countless. After half a year, he was only able to refine 30 thousand Grade 9 Spirit Pills. To think that the Eight Great Villa would actually refine 100 thousand. It was simply wishful thinking. Even if he could train them, he would absolutely not refine for them. He understood after thinking about it. If he could concoct so many Tier 9 spiritual pills, would his future spiritual pills still be worth anything?

"There are too many, I can't refine them."

"Don't worry, Young Master Duan. Before I finish speaking, half of the 100 thousand is for Young Master Duan. Once I finish refining, Young Master Duan can take half of the spirit pills."

"This is quite interesting." "It can be considered."

"Young master Duan, as long as you agree, we can allow young master Duan to enter our world once!"

Hearing this, Duan Ru became excited. "What other world?"

"Wood world. Where is the natural Heavenly Heart Wood? It is the best material for refining a Grade 9 or even Grade 10 Spirit Pill." Duan Ling Tian was moved. "Alright, I can refine it, but let's get to the point, I'll take half of the Grade 9 Spirit Pill. Also, during the refining process, no one is allowed to spy on my house, especially on my safety." Duan Ru Yue wasn't afraid of danger, he was just afraid of trouble. Refining a Grade 9 Spirit Pill would result in rolling thunder. He was fine, but he was afraid of hurting others.
