The Alchemy Conference continued on.

The news of Duan Ling Tian hiding his true strength and obtaining an offense-defense-movement Duke Grade Celestial Method from the Blissful Sect spread to the people in Alchemy Square, shocking them.

“The Chief Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who’s not even 100 years old managed to refine eight Overarching Heaven Pill?”

“Let alone refining eight Overarching Heaven Pills, it’s already an amazing feat that he’s able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill before the age of 100… If I’m not mistaken, in all of the Six Southeastern Regions, only Master Sun from the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect in the Light Region has a higher pill refinement success rate than him, right?”

“Yes! The highest number of pills Master Sun managed to refine at a go is ten Overarching Heaven Pill… Usually, he would only be able to refine eight or nine pills.”

“Incredible! A young man who hasn’t even reached the age of 100 is almost on par with Master Sun in alchemy.”

Many similar remarks could be heard in Alchemy Square.

The Master Sun that many people mentioned was Sun Chao, the Chief Alchemist of the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect in the Light Region. He was also widely regarded as the most outstanding prominent Celestial Alchemist in the previous Alchemy Conference. Ever since the last Alchemy Conference, he was also known as the best prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions.

Almost a month ago, Duan Ling Tian became famous in Alchemy City because he managed to refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill, and won the Celestial Method and Divine Ability from the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect respectively. It was also at that time that people found out he was the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and a prominent Celestial Alchemist younger than the age of 100. Now that he won himself a triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method from his bet with the Blissful Sect, there was no doubt he would only become more famous.

“As far as I know, the Blissful Sect only has one triple-trait Duke Grade Divine Celestial Method, right?”

“Yes! It’s the most precious compared to all the Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities the Blissful Sect owns, and they lost it to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s Master Duan.”

Duan Ling Tian was also aware that the triple-trait Celestial Method he won from the Blissful Sect was one of its kind in the Blissful Sect. They only had an offensive-defensive and offensive-movement Duke Grade Divine Ability apart from that.

Upon hearing the people in his surroundings talking about the triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method from the Blissful Sect, Duan Ling Tian took a look at the content in the Memory Celestial Talisman he had just obtained. ‘So this Duke Grade Celestial Method from the Blissful Sect is called the Immobilization King. It’s most powerful in defense and is comparable to high-grade defensive Duke Grade Celestial Method. Its offensive and movement techniques are only comparable to entry-level offensive and movement Duke Grade Celestial Method.”

After Duan Ling Tian put the Memory Celestial Talisman away, he began to plan his next step. ‘Now that I have an offensive-defensive-movement Duke Grade Method, next, I’ll have to find a way to obtain an offensive-defensive-movement Duke Grade Divine Ability. In the entire Six Southeastern Regions, there are only two sects with such a Divine Ability: the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect in the Cross Region and the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect in the Light Region. Sun Chao, widely regarded as the top prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions, is from the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect… After everything that happened, it’s likely that only highly skilled Celestial Alchemists from the top sects dare to compete with me in alchemy.’

Previously, during the journey to Alchemy City in the Barren Land, Duan Ling Tian felt that he would be satisfied as long as he obtained a triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability. However, now that he had easily obtained a triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method, which contained offensive, defensive, and movement techniques, he was no longer satisfied with just obtaining a triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method. He also wanted an offensive-defensive-movement Divine Ability.

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he thought to himself, ‘Although there’s a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill in the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, his skills are only on Xiao Gang Yu’s level. Now that I defeated Xiao Gang Yu, it’s unlikely that he would agree to compete with me. This means I can only compete with Sun Chao who’s widely acknowledged as the best prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions.’ Then, he looked at Situ Ming, one of the prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and revealed his plan to Situ Ming.

“Master Duan, although the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect has an offensive-defensive-movement Duke Grade Divine Ability, I don’t think they’ll use it to gamble with you… That Duke Grade Divine Ability is of great significance to the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect. Their former sect leader obtained the Divine Ability at the cost of his life. The former sect leader was also the biological father of the current Sect Leader of the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect. Based on this, you can imagine how important it is to the sect and to the sect leader. He won’t allow anyone to use it as a stake for a bet,” Situ Ming said, clearly not optimistic about Duan Ling Tian’s chances to obtain the triple-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability from the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect.

“Is that so?” Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware of this until he heard Situ Ming’s words. Regardless, he still planned to give it a try.

The Blazing Sun Celestial Sect was a powerful sect in the Light Region. Many people from the sect had also come to partic.i.p.ate in the Alchemy Conference this time. Led by the Sect Leader of the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect, one of the sect’s elders and four prominent Celestial Alchemists had come to Alchemy City. Sun Chao was, naturally, among the four prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect who had come to attend the Alchemy Conference.

Sun Chao was a well-dressed middle-aged man with a firm and honest appearance.

At this moment, Situ Ming had led Duan Ling Tian to where the party from the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect was. He also introduced Duan Ling Tian to the people from the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect.

After Situ Ming made the introductions, Sun Chao greeted Duan Ling Tian politely with a smile on his face, “Master Duan, I heard about your feat a month ago. However, I didn’t expect you to have hidden your true strength.”

Sun Chao’s appearance and his current att.i.tude left a good impression on Duan Ling Tian. It was to the extent that Duan Ling Tian felt slightly reluctant to plot against Sun Chao. Duan Ling Tian was not arrogant. However, based on his current skills in alchemy and the third form of the Chaos Divine Flame, he really did not think there was any prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions who was a match for him. For this reason, he was eager to compete. He knew he would not lose, after all.

Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile, “Master Sun, I’ve heard of you as well.”

Then, Duan Ling Tian and Sun Chan made small talk. Gradually, their conversation moved away from small talks to more serious conversations. In just a while, they became very familiar with each other as though they were friends who knew each other for many years.

Upon seeing Duan Ling Tian engrossed in his conversation with Sun Chao, seemingly to have forgotten about the plan, Situ Ming who was feeling slightly anxious sent a Voice Transmission to Duan Ling Tian. “Master Duan, didn’t we come here to…”

Duan Ling Tian did not need to listen to all of Situ Ming’s words to know what Situ Ming wanted to say. He sent a Voice Transmission to Situ Ming in response. “Master Situ, I’ve changed my mind. I don’t wish to compete with the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect anymore… Let’s try to make a bet with the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect instead. We can avenge the Old Ancestor while we’re at it as well!” After that, he turned his head slightly and looked at the party from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect with a cold look in his eyes.

“The Profound Heaven Celestial Sect?” Situ Ming was slightly taken aback by Duan Ling Tian’s words. Then, he said with a wry smile, “Master Duan, everyone knows about your skills in alchemy now… Among the prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Six Southeastern Regions, I’m afraid only Master Sun from the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect will dare to compete with you. I don’t think any of the other prominent Celestial Alchemists will dare to gamble with you. Although there are skilled prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, the strongest among them is only comparable to Xiao Gang Yu, the Chief Celestial Alchemist from the Blissful Sect. Now that you’ve defeated Xiao Gang Yu, I’m afraid he won’t dare to compete with you. Even if they agree to a bet, I’m afraid the Sect Leader of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect won’t agree to use their sect’s offensive-defensive-movement Duke Grade Divine Ability to bet with you.” He had carefully laid out his a.n.a.lysis for Duan Ling Tian; he was certain Duan Ling Tian would give up on betting with the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect after listening to his words.

Contrary to Situ Ming’s expectations, Duan Ling Tian said indifferently, “I’m aware of this. Therefore, I plan to compete with the supreme Celestial Alchemist from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect!”

Supreme Celestial Alchemist!

Indeed, apart from the Alliance of Celestial Masters, there was a supreme Celestial Alchemist in the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect. He was also the only supreme Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions. Coincidentally, the supreme Celestial Alchemist from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect had also come to Alchemy City this time.

“Supreme Celestial Alchemist?” Situ Ming was taken aback. When he regained his senses, he quickly said to dissuade Duan Ling Tian, “Master Duan, instead of competing with the supreme Celestial Alchemist from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, why don’t you ask if the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect is willing to bet with you…”

“There’s no need for that.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “Moreover, you said the Sect Leader of the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect places great importance on the Divine Ability. He’s unlikely to use it as a stake. Even if he’s willing, I no longer plan to compete with the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect. I don’t want to take advantage of Master Sun. He’s a very nice person.”

Situ Ming was rendered temporarily speechless by Duan Ling Tian. He could not help but feel that Duan Ling Tian was too capricious.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Sun Chao and asked with a smile, “Master Sun, do you want to come with me and join in the fun?”

Although he and Sun Chao had only met today and had only spoken briefly, Sun Chao’s sincerity and personality left a good impression on Duan Ling Tian. He felt like Sun Chao was an old friend, causing him to recall all his good friends from the mundane realm.

“Join in the fun?” Sun Chao asked in confusion.
