The Tomb of King Dan

  "Sir, please stay!" Seeing this, Yun Yu Qing's eyes also flashed with a hint of color, "Since you've asked me to come today, there must be something important to discuss. I wonder if sir would grant me the favor?"

  "I'm not interested." Du Fei said coldly.

  "Heh heh, sir, it's better not to speak too quickly! If I were to say that the matter we need to discuss has something to do with what you're holding in your bosom...?" Yun Yuqing took a slight breath before speaking, but her words made Du Fei's heart skip a beat.

  Here!

  Du Fei's eyes twitched slightly, fortunately the hanging veil covered his expression perfectly. He just smiled coldly and said: "If I didn't know the origin of this thing, would I auction it off? ...However, since you're interested, why not just raise your bid earlier and take it back yourself? Why wait until now and waste so many words?"

  "Heh heh, sir should naturally know that if this matter is to proceed, it will definitely require a dan master... Sir may be able to do it himself, but Rain Qing is not a dan master and acknowledges that she doesn't have the ability... However, what Rain Qing said can also be made clear: I have half of that thing in my hands, and sir has the other half. If you want that matter to succeed, sir won't be able to do it without cooperating with me, will he?" Cloud Rain Qing smiled slightly, lightly stroking the exquisite ring on her hand, and instantly a box identical to the one in Du Fei's hands appeared, only to disappear again as she flicked her wrist.

  "Rich people are indeed different!" Du Fei thought to himself, still maintaining his mysterious demeanor.

  As for that so-called thing, he naturally didn't know half of it. It's just that at this moment, not knowing also had to be pretended as knowing.

  After a moment of contemplation, Du Fei sat back down and spoke in a light tone: "If there's something on your mind, Miss Yun, just say it directly. Beating around the bush won't do either of us any good."

  Upon seeing Du Fei sit down again, Yun Yu Qing's face lit up with joy, and after a moment, she took a deep breath and said: "As someone from the Dan Master lineage, you should naturally understand that the path of Dan Masters has extremely high requirements for innate talent. Therefore, there are very few people in the world who can become Dan Masters. Many Dan Masters spend their entire lives without being able to find a successor, and in desperation, they can only take their lifetime of learning to the grave... Of course, there are also some exceptions, where they will treasure their lifetime of learning while scattering clues throughout the world... For example, our target this time is the Dan Wang ruins."

  "Tanwang Ruins!" Upon hearing these four words, Du Fei's breathing became slightly coarser. He hadn't expected that Yun Yuqing wanted to discuss with him about this matter of all things.

  This matter of Dan Wang's remains, Du Fei had also heard a bit about it.

  About a hundred years ago, in the Da'an dynasty, there emerged a rare talent in alchemy who had reached the realm of fifth-grade Danzong. At that time, in the martial arts world of the Da'an dynasty, he was revered as a king and called himself the Alchemy King.

  However, this Dan Wang spent his entire life without finding a suitable successor. At the time of his death, he sealed all that he had learned and the elixirs he had refined throughout his life in a certain place, and passed on the key to it to future generations.

  But most people think that this should be just a legend. But at this moment, Yunzi said it with a serious face, and Du Fei took a slight breath, and it was clear that the legend might not be a legend anymore!

  "Legend has it that the place where the Dan Wang ruins are located is extremely mysterious, and Miss Yun wouldn't think that just the two of us could do anything about it... Even if we had both things in our hands, it's not necessarily possible to make it happen...". Du Fei took a slight breath, then said lightly, "In my opinion, why don't you go with me to see my master? Since you have the other half, I think Master will be willing to exchange many things for it."

  "Hehe, sir is joking! Even if I were willing to... would sir be willing himself?" Yun Yu Qing's slender and beautiful eyes curved into a pretty arc. "If sir was truly willing to give this thing to your teacher with a happy heart, why would he auction it off and speak in such a way that he's afraid outsiders will know his identity..."

  As for Yun Yuqing's self-proclaimed clever guess, Du Fei was welcoming it to the extreme. He was really worried that Yun Yuqing would casually agree and then he would have to find a teacher from somewhere.

  After hearing this, Du Fei hummed coldly and immediately stopped speaking.

  Seeing Du Fei's appearance, Yun Yu Qing didn't mind and instead calmly opened his mouth to say: "According to legend, the art of alchemy has three realms... The lower realm uses fire to refine the elixir, the middle realm uses energy to refine the elixir, and the legendary upper realm is said to use the elixir to refine itself...... I suppose you know this too, sir?"

  Upon hearing this, Du Fei's face slightly twitched, and he understood a bit more about these rumored matters.

  Legend has it that in the vast expanse of heaven and earth, there exist some innate elixirs. Perhaps they have existed since the beginning of creation; perhaps they are the result of a thousand years of volcanic condensation; or perhaps they are the legendary Dan Saint's lifeblood refined over a lifetime...

  No matter which one, these Heaven and Earth Yuan Dan are said to contain almost infinite energy. If a martial artist can swallow and refine it, they can almost become a saint on the spot. And if an alchemist can recover it, using this Heaven and Earth Yuan Dan as a guide, when refining elixirs, there is no need for any flames. Not only is the process quick, but it also increases the success rate and potency of the elixir.

  However, these heavenly elixirs are all rare treasures that can only be seen once in a hundred years. Even if one were to encounter them, people without the destined affinity would not be able to possess them!

  As for taking it, ordinary people take it, I'm afraid they haven't even refined its medicinal properties, and they've already been refined themselves!

  However, even so, the Tiandi Yuandan is still a lifelong dream for many alchemists, because as long as they can obtain this object, even if they cannot refine it, but just by possessing it, with the means of using dan to refine dan, they will be able to reach the pinnacle of success in their path as an alchemist!

  However, to recover the Tian Di Yuan Dan, one would need a great deal of luck. If the luck is insufficient, one would be instantly consumed by the dan medicine and die a clean death! Nevertheless, some people with good fortune can still recover it for their own use, and these individuals all stand at the pinnacle of the Xuan Wu continent.

  It is precisely because of this that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Dan are extremely attractive to anyone, and even more so for the Dan Master. And on the Xuanwu Continent, after tens of thousands of years of sedimentation, some people have even given these Heaven and Earth Yuan Dan a name and ranking, giving rise to what is known as the "Heaven and Earth Yuan Dan Record".

  It is said that the "Tian Di Yuan Dan Record" contains the legendary thirty-three Tian Di Yuan Dans, ranked according to their contained energy and power. However, even if it's the lowest-ranked Tian Di Yuan Dan, once it appears, countless people will probably fight over it relentlessly.

  As for these things, Du Fei was still somewhat clear-headed, but he still took a slight breath and said lightly: "I know, how is that?"

  "If I say......" Yunyu Qing slightly licked her lips, "If Dan Wang had only recovered one of the thirty-three heavenly and earthly yuan dan back then, and reached that kind of achievement, would you still give what's in your hands to your teacher?"

  "Bang——"

  The armrest of the chair was pinched to pieces by Du Fei, and after a moment, he said with a few trembles in his voice: "Your meaning is... that there is a Tian Di Yuan Dan in the remains of the Dan King!?"

  "Master is indeed a clever person... Cooperating with clever people is also one of Yun Yuqing's favorite things!" Yun Yuqing smiled lightly and spoke softly.

  "Huh?"

  He took a long, deep breath before Du Fei finally calmed down completely! If he could get the Tian Di Yuan Dan, even if he couldn't refine it, just having it for himself would bring him countless benefits!

  And getting this thing can also allow oneself to set foot on the path to the pinnacle!

  So, no matter what, I must get this thing!

  Although he thought so in his heart, Du Fei calmed down a bit and said coldly after a moment: "Since Miss Yun knows so clearly, why bother cooperating with a stranger like me... Your Yun family is wealthy and powerful, can't you just find a Dan master to come out and do it?"

  "It's no use!" Yunyu Qing said faintly, "If it's really like that... then I won't be able to get anything... If the family is only interested in the Tian Di Yuan Dan, I'll just have to accept it... What a pity..."

  "What does it mean?" Du Fei frowned slightly.

  "Sir, you may not know that Dan Wang was not only a fifth-grade alchemist but also a fourth-grade martial artist... " Yunyu Qing's face showed admiration. "I'm not interested in alchemy and don't have much interest in the path of elixirs either. Although I know that the Tianyuan Dan is extremely good, I also have self-awareness and know what I shouldn't touch... So, I'm only interested in Dan Wang's martial skills and techniques... Do you understand my meaning, sir?"

  "Four Treasures of the Martial Ancestor!" Du Fei took a slight breath of cold air, then said in a low voice, "Your meaning is... all the materials for refining elixirs will be mine, while all the materials for cultivating martial arts will be yours..."

  "Master is indeed clever!" Yun Yu Qing smiled sweetly, her face filled with delight.

  "Such an arrangement, indeed not bad...... But still the same sentence, why did you find me and not others! What's in it for you!" Du Fei calmly opened his mouth after a slight calm.

  "Haha, it seems that if I don't speak directly, sir won't cooperate... " Yun Yuqing smiled lightly. "In that case, I'm not afraid of offending sir either... In my opinion, sir's strength is at most that of an 8th rank Dan Master, and even if he's a bit stronger, it's only equivalent to an 8th rank Martial Artist... And Raincloud also has this level of strength! When two people cooperate, they must be wary of one being strong while the other is weak. Since our strengths are equal, we can cooperate without fear of either of us betraying the other or trying to swallow the other whole, right? I wonder if sir finds my words satisfactory?"

  After a moment of silence, Du Fei said faintly: "If you and I put our resources together, can we find the ruins of Dan Wang?"

  "Hmm!"

  "Are you and I going alone?"

  "That's right!"

  "Alright, I'll agree with you!" Du Fei said calmly, "But when do we set off?"

  "Haha, Mr. is indeed a straightforward person," Yun Yuqing lightly clapped her hands, "In that case, let's meet again in half a year, what do you say?"
