âHe Shan? So this is the Old Ancestorâs name...â
While the onlookersâ attention was focused on Huanâer, Duan Ling Tian was slightly taken aback when he heard Tan Zheng Ye, the Vice Sect Leader of the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect in the Light Region, addressing the Old Ancestor as Senior He Shan. It was the first time he heard the name of the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.
At this moment, the young man and the young woman standing behind Tang Zheng Ye finally regained their senses. They shifted their eyes from Huanâer to the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and bowed in unison as they greeted him. âSenior He Shan,â
The young man obviously had a significantly harder time tearing his gaze away from Huanâer, compared to the young woman. It was only natural since Huanâer was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. He found it hard to believe such a beautiful woman existed in this world. Not even in his imagination would he be able to dream up such a peerless beauty.
He Shan nodded in response to the young man and the young womanâs greeting. Then, he looked at Tan Zheng Ye and asked with a smile, âVice Sect Leader Tan, are they your disciples?â
âYes.â Tan Zheng Ye nodded. He pointed to the young man and the young woman standing behind him before he continued to say, âThese are my disciples, Cheng Da Gang and Zhong Xiao Hui.â
He Shan nodded and politely said, âWell, they both have striking appearances.â
At this moment, Guan Qi Fei, a prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, finally averted his gaze from Huanâer. When he regained his senses, he looked at He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and said, âSenior He Shan, you came at the right time. Youâre a senior member of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect... Whatâs your opinion on the illegal sale of the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill, in the Tai Yi Celestial Sectâs shop?â He sounded accusing when he spoke.
Alas, He Shan did not even spare Guan Qi Fei a glance and ignored him.
âYou...â As the saying went, âEveryone has a temperâ. Guan Qi Fei was, naturally, furious when he saw He Shanâs disregard for him. âHe Shan! Donât think Iâll drop this matter just because you ignore me. The Tai Yi Celestial Sect is violating the rules set by the top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions!â
He Shan continued to ignore Guan Qi Fei.
However, Situ Ming glanced at Guan Qi Fei coldly and asked, âAre you sure? Guan Qi Fei, youâd better shut up before the truth is revealed. Donât you dare tarnish the reputation of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!â
Guan Qi Fei scoffed. âIâm only telling the truth. Didnât you say the prominent Celestial Alchemist from your sect whoâs able to refine Overarching Heaven Pills is in the shop? Whereâs he? Summon him here so he can show us!â
âMaster Duan is already here. Youâre just too blind to notice it,â Situ Ming said with a sneer.
Upon hearing Situ Mingâs words, Guan Qi Feiâs gaze instinctively fell on Huanâer. He asked skeptically, âMaster Duanâs here? You donât mean to tell me sheâs the prominent Celestial Alchemist from your sect whoâs capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills, right?â
At this moment, everyone, including Tan Zheng Ye, turned to look at Huanâer.
The peerless beauty was the prominent Celestial Alchemist in Tai Yi Celestial Sect who could refine Overarching Heaven Pills?
Suddenly, Duan Ling Tian, whose hand Huanâer was holding, looked at Guan Qi Fei indifferently and said, âMaster Situ is right, youâre really blind... He was talking about me.â
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, everyone shifted their eyes from Huanâer to him.
âYou?â Guan Qi Feiâs expression darkened when he heard Duan Ling Tianâs mocking words. Then, he laughed before he said condescendingly, âBoy, Iâve already investigated you with my Divine Consciousness when you came out... The aura of your body has betrayed the fact that youâre not even 100 years old! Youâre still wet behind the ears. How can you claim to be a prominent Celestial Alchemist? Moreover, youâre also claiming you can refine the Overarching Heaven Pills? Are you dreaming?â
As soon as Guan Qi Fei finished speaking, quite a number of the onlookers extended their Divine Consciousness and probed Duan Ling Tianâs age.
âNot even 100 years old?â
âIndeed. Heâs really younger than 100 years old!â
It did not take long before they confirmed the purple-clad young man, who clearly had the favor of the peerless beauty, was not even 100 years old!
âWhat a joke! Heâs not even 100 years old. How dare he pretend to be a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills? Is he crazy?â
âThatâs right! He might have gotten lucky and obtained a prominent Celestial Fire before he hit the age of 100. However, just because he possesses a prominent Celestial Fire, it doesnât mean heâs qualified to be called a prominent Celestial Alchemist. He must have the skills and techniques to refine prominent Celestial Pills before he can be called a prominent Celestial Alchemist!â
âItâs nearly impossible for someone whoâs not even 100 years old to become a prominent Celestial Alchemist. And yet, he even claimed heâs a prominent Celestial Alchemist whoâs able to refine Overarching Heaven Pills?â
âIn addition to possessing the pill formula and a prominent Celestial Fire, to refine Overarching Heaven Pills, one has to be highly skilled in alchemy as well. Itâs already difficult enough to refine ordinary prominent Celestial Pills, let alone the Overarching Heaven Pills!â
âHah! Keep dreaming!â
âI really donât understand. Why does such a peerless beauty like a liar like him?â
âHe doesnât deserve her at all!â
When Huanâer appeared while holding onto Duan Ling Tianâs hand, many men who were present noticed her tender gaze when she looked at Duan Ling Tian. It was obvious that she liked him. They were, naturally, filled with envy and hatred toward Duan Ling Tian. With Guan Qi Fei fanning the flames, their words were filled with righteous indignation as they spoke about Duan Ling Tian. They all thought Duan Ling Tian was just a naive kid!
At this moment, Tan Zheng Ye looked at Duan Ling Tian and said in a deep voice, âMister, please be careful with your words. We might take your words seriously and treat you as a prominent Celestial Alchemist whoâs capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills. If you fail to refine the Overarching Heaven Pills, the major Celestial Sects of the Six Southeastern Regions wonât let you off the hook!â His tone was rather threatening.
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. He asked with a faint smile on his face, âWhatâs the matter? Vice Sect Leader Tan doesnât believe Iâm capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills as well?â
âIâm afraid no present on the scene believes youâre a prominent Celestial Alchemist, let alone a prominent Celestial Alchemist whoâs able to refine Overarching Heaven Pills,â Tan Zheng Ye bluntly replied.
âIs that so?â Duan Ling Tian turned to Huanâer and asked with a smile, âHuanâer, why donât you tell Vice Sect Leader Tan if you think Iâm capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills?â
Huanâer, whose eyes did not leave Duan Ling Tian up to now, responded with a smile, âBrother Ling Tian, itâs easy for you to refine Overarching Heaven Pills.â She did not care about everyoneâs attention at all. It seemed like there were only two people in her world; Duan Ling Tian and her.
Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the Old Ancestor and the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect before he asked, âOld Ancestor, three masters, do you believe Iâm a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills?â
âOf course, I believe you.â He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, nodded.
âI believe you.â
âOf course.â
âI believe you as well!â
The three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect answered one after another.
Then, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Tan Zheng Ye and said with a faint smile on his face, âVice Sect Leader Tan, you said thereâs no one present who believes Iâm a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills... What about now?â
âI...â Tan Zheng Ye was rendered speechless when he saw Duan Ling Tian asking the people from Tai Yi Celestial Sect if they believed he could refine the Overarching Heaven Pills. It was only natural for the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to take his side. He did not expect this purple-clad young man who was not even 100 years old to be so shameless!
Seeing his master struggling to find words, the young man, Cheng Da Gang, snorted as he glared at Duan Ling Tian. âBrat, itâs only natural that the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect would take your side. You intentionally took my masterâs words literally. You know very well he meant to say that, apart from the Tai Yi Celestial Sectâs people, no one believes youâre a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills!â His eyes were brimming with contempt as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
âHuanâer,â Duan Ling Tian said, stopping Huanâer. As soon as Cheng Da Gang finished speaking, he had felt Celestial Origin Energy surging from Huanâerâs hand that was still holding onto his hand. He patted Huanâer with his other hand and said through Voice Transmission, âI donât care about their words so why should you care?â
Earlier, when the people began to mock Duan Ling Tian, Huanâer was about to make a move to attack them, but he stopped her. Now that she wanted to attack again, he stopped her again. He did not think it was necessary since he had nothing to hide. Apart from that, he was not worried about Huanâer. After all, He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, was here. He did not think any of the people present on the scene would be able to hurt her.
