Duan Tianjiao

## Appearance

Duan Tianqiao was a beauty in her own right. She had delicate and pretty features, almond eyes and cherry lips. Adding on her petite figure, she was definitely lovable.

## Story

### Volume 6

She came from the Lihua Prefecture's Alchemist Guild in the Eastern Wastelands and she managed to reach the Xiantian realm at barely 26 years old as an alchemist. Her spiritual strength was ninth tier Earth Class.

She participated to the Pill Tower's selection to join Pill Valley and ended at the third place behind Long San and Huo Wufang.

### Volume 8

She was successful in joining the Divine Pill Hall, the core section disciples of Pill Valley. Her ranking was close to the bottom, at around the 2970th place. She was always distressed about being ejected from the Divine Pill Hall due to her low ranking.

When Long Chen arrived under his disguise as Long San, she advised him out of goodwill to not join any factions. Two months later, she committed suicide. She was holding a piece of paper. There was simply one line written by a woman's hand on it: "Now will you be happy?"

Under Long Chen's interrogation, Zhang Yutao had no choice but to explain Duan Tianqiao's history. Originally, her talent was not bad, and she easily became an inner disciple. But wanting to join the Divine Pill Hall was extremely difficult. She tried several times without succeeding. Later on, one of the Divine Pill Hall's disciples gave her some pointers, allowing her alchemy skill to advance by a great deal, making her eligible to finally enter the Divine Pill Hall.

Duan Tianqiao was extremely grateful to that disciple, and under his pursuit, the two of them became alchemy Dao-companions. It was only later that Duan Tianqiao learned that this disciple had only helped her to pull her into the Divine Shield Alliance. Furthermore, this person also had other Dao-companions. Duan Tianqiao had immediately felt used. She had had a huge fight with that person, and she had formed an urge to kill herself at that time.

It was the Pill Fairy that had come to support Duan Tianqiao, advising her to leave the Divine Shield Alliance and join the neutral faction. Furthermore, she had even given out a warning that no one was to mention this matter again. At that time, this matter had caused quite a ruckus before things had gradually calmed down. Duan Tianqiao had managed to escape the shadow of her past and once more began cultivating her alchemy. But the emotions that hadn't worked out from back then still caused quite an influence over her, and in the end, she was unable to improve her ranking. She was stuck at the bottom, always in danger.

Just yesterday, when someone had cursed Duan Tianqiao for being a slut, Long Chen had thought that someone was intentionally trying to find trouble with him. He hadn't known there had been such a story behind it. Now, it seemed that this person's curse had provoked Duan Tianqiao's inner wound. Adding on how her alchemy had stagnated for so many years, she had felt like there was no more meaning in living, and decided to end her young life.

In the life and death arena he learnt from Luo Xiao that the one who had tricked Duan Tianqiao of her purity was Qu Chunsheng. Long Chen immediately challenged him to a life and death match at the same instant.

As for Qu Chunsheng, what he had cared about was Duan Tianqiao's potential. He had helped her when she had had no support, showing care for her in every possible manner and winning her heart. Only later had Duan Tianqiao noticed that Qu Chunsheng had other Dao-companions. She was able to accept this. But then she had heard Qu Chunsheng speaking with Jiang Zijun. Only then had she learned that Qu Chunsheng didn't have any feelings for her. He had only gotten close to her to get another helper for the Divine Shield Alliance.

At that time, Duan Tianqiao had felt like the heavens were collapsing. She had demanded to know why Qu Chunsheng would trick her. Who would have thought that after being exposed, Qu Chunsheng wouldn't even be the slightest bit apologetic? Instead, he insulted Duan Tianqiao for not being able to recognize kindness. If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have been able to enter the Divine Pill Hall in her lifetime. Duan Tianqiao had never imagined that the modest man she liked was actually such a person. She was completely disheartened and contemplated suicide. It was the Pill Fairy that had saved her from this darkness.

It took a long time for this matter to be settled. However, just a few days ago, the day Duan Tianqiao had committed suicide, Qu Chunsheng had gone to find her in her courtyard. It was unknown what had gone down between them, but it was that very day that Duan Tianqiao killed herself. Long Chen hadn't known about all this. This information was what he had found out by investigating Luo Xiao's soul before he died.

Qu Chunsheng said that the day Duan Tianqiao committed suicide, the reason why he came to talk to her was to compare her to his others lovers, sneering at her, telling her she was just a narrow-minded woman. Qu Chungsheng refuse to fight against Long Chen and tried to flee but was blocked by others disciples who looked at him with disgust. Long Chen was burning his soul with his Soul Devouring Violet Flame but Jiang Zijun interrupted him. Qu Chunsheng died when Long Chen tossed his head in front of Jiang Zijun's attack.

Yu Qingxuan sent Duan Tianqiao's ashes to the Eastern Wasteland not long after.

## Death

She died under an ancient tree in her courtyard. Her eyes were looking toward the east. They had lost all their luster. Although her body was still warm, her soul had long since dissipated. No one could save her. A beautiful girl lost her life beneath an ancient tree.
