“He Shan? So this is the Old Ancestor’s name…”
While the onlookers’ attention was focused on Huan’er, 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 Huan’er to the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and bowed in unison as they greeted him. “Senior He Shan,”
The young man obviously had a significantly harder time tearing his gaze away from Huan’er, compared to the young woman. It was only natural since Huan’er 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 woman’s greeting. Then, he looked at Tan Zheng Ye and asked with a smile, “Vice Sect Leader Tan, are they your disciples?”
“Yes.” Tan Zheng Ye nodded. He pointed to the young man and the young woman standing behind him before he continued to say, “These are my disciples, Cheng Da Gang and Zhong Xiao Hui.”
He Shan nodded and politely said, “Well, they both have striking appearances.”
At this moment, Guan Qi Fei, a prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, finally averted his gaze from Huan’er. When he regained his senses, he looked at He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, and said, “Senior He Shan, you came at the right time. You’re a senior member of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect… What’s your opinion on the illegal sale of the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill, in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop?” He sounded accusing when he spoke.
Alas, He Shan did not even spare Guan Qi Fei a glance and ignored him.
“You…” As the saying went, ‘Everyone has a temper’. Guan Qi Fei was, naturally, furious when he saw He Shan’s disregard for him. “He Shan! Don’t think I’ll 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!”
He Shan continued to ignore Guan Qi Fei.
However, Situ Ming glanced at Guan Qi Fei coldly and asked, “Are you sure? Guan Qi Fei, you’d better shut up before the truth is revealed. Don’t you dare tarnish the reputation of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!”
Guan Qi Fei scoffed. “I’m only telling the truth. Didn’t you say the prominent Celestial Alchemist from your sect who’s able to refine Overarching Heaven Pills is in the shop? Where’s he? Summon him here so he can show us!”
“Master Duan is already here. You’re just too blind to notice it,” Situ Ming said with a sneer.
Upon hearing Situ Ming’s words, Guan Qi Fei’s gaze instinctively fell on Huan’er. He asked skeptically, “Master Duan’s here? You don’t mean to tell me she’s the prominent Celestial Alchemist from your sect who’s capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills, right?”
At this moment, everyone, including Tan Zheng Ye, turned to look at Huan’er.
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 Huan’er was holding, looked at Guan Qi Fei indifferently and said, “Master Situ is right, you’re really blind… He was talking about me.”
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, everyone shifted their eyes from Huan’er to him.
“You?” Guan Qi Fei’s expression darkened when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s mocking words. Then, he laughed before he said condescendingly, “Boy, I’ve already investigated you with my Divine Consciousness when you came out… The aura of your body has betrayed the fact that you’re not even 100 years old! You’re still wet behind the ears. How can you claim to be a prominent Celestial Alchemist? Moreover, you’re also claiming you can refine the Overarching Heaven Pills? Are you dreaming?”
As soon as Guan Qi Fei finished speaking, quite a number of the onlookers extended their Divine Consciousness and probed Duan Ling Tian’s age.
“Not even 100 years old?”
“Indeed. He’s really younger than 100 years old!”
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!
“What a joke! He’s not even 100 years old. How dare he pretend to be a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills? Is he crazy?”
“That’s 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 doesn’t mean he’s 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!”
“It’s nearly impossible for someone who’s not even 100 years old to become a prominent Celestial Alchemist. And yet, he even claimed he’s a prominent Celestial Alchemist who’s able to refine Overarching Heaven Pills?”
“In 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. It’s already difficult enough to refine ordinary prominent Celestial Pills, let alone the Overarching Heaven Pills!”
“Hah! Keep dreaming!”
“I really don’t understand. Why does such a peerless beauty like a liar like him?”
“He doesn’t deserve her at all!”
When Huan’er appeared while holding onto Duan Ling Tian’s 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, “Mister, please be careful with your words. We might take your words seriously and treat you as a prominent Celestial Alchemist who’s capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills. If you fail to refine the Overarching Heaven Pills, the major Celestial Sects of the Six Southeastern Regions won’t let you off the hook!” His tone was rather threatening.
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. He asked with a faint smile on his face, “What’s the matter? Vice Sect Leader Tan doesn’t believe I’m capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills as well?”
“I’m afraid no present on the scene believes you’re a prominent Celestial Alchemist, let alone a prominent Celestial Alchemist who’s able to refine Overarching Heaven Pills,” Tan Zheng Ye bluntly replied.
“Is that so?” Duan Ling Tian turned to Huan’er and asked with a smile, “Huan’er, why don’t you tell Vice Sect Leader Tan if you think I’m capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills?”
Huan’er, whose eyes did not leave Duan Ling Tian up to now, responded with a smile, “Brother Ling Tian, it’s easy for you to refine Overarching Heaven Pills.” She did not care about everyone’s 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, “Old Ancestor, three masters, do you believe I’m a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills?”
“Of course, I believe you.” He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, nodded.
“I believe you.”
“Of course.”
“I believe you as well!”
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, “Vice Sect Leader Tan, you said there’s no one present who believes I’m a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills… What about now?”
“I…” 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. “Brat, it’s only natural that the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect would take your side. You intentionally took my master’s words literally. You know very well he meant to say that, apart from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s people, no one believes you’re a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills!” His eyes were brimming with contempt as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.
“Huan’er,” Duan Ling Tian said, stopping Huan’er. As soon as Cheng Da Gang finished speaking, he had felt Celestial Origin Energy surging from Huan’er’s hand that was still holding onto his hand. He patted Huan’er with his other hand and said through Voice Transmission, “I don’t care about their words so why should you care?”
Earlier, when the people began to mock Duan Ling Tian, Huan’er 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 Huan’er. 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.
