2853 The Alchemy Conference

EndlessFantasy Translation EndlessFantasy Translation

Murong Bing who was standing at the side remained silent, but a myriad of emotions was flashing in her eyes. After a moment, she sighed inwardly as though she had recalled something. Her bright eyes dimmed as well.

Meanwhile, many similar discussions could be heard in the Alchemy City of the Barren Land.

Hey, did you hear that the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is sending a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill to attend the Alchemy Conference?

The Tai Yi Celestial Sect? The Tai Yi Celestial Sect from the Wasteland? A prominent Celestial Alchemist with such skills would be highly respected in the entire Six Southeastern Regions and the Southern Heaven Territory. What is someone like that doing in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?

How would I know? Anyway, thats not the shocking part. The shocking part is that the prominent Celestial Alchemist isnt even 100 years old!

Isnt even 100 years old? Are you joking? Its already shocking that someone who isnt even 100 years old became a prominent Celestial Alchemist, let alone capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill!

Its the truth. Many people personally witnessed him refining the Overarching Heaven Pill!

It did not take long for Duan Ling Tians name to be known in Alchemy City. Almost 90% of the people in the city knew about him. Only those who were in closed-door cultivation did not hear about him yet.

Duan Ling Tian, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, was a prominent Celestial Alchemist who was not even 100 years old but was capable of refining the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill. His innate talent in alchemy was truly shocking!

In the Profound Heaven Celestial Sects temporary residence in Alchemy City.

Upon receiving the news that Duan Ling Tian had successfully refined the Overarching Heaven Pill, Bai Yu Xuan, the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, was in disbelief. He went on a tirade immediately. What?! That brat from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who isnt even 100 years old actually refined the Overarching Heaven Pill?! Impossible! Hes not even 100 years old. Even if hes lucky enough to obtain a prominent Celestial Fire, he shouldnt have the skills to refine a top tier pill like the Overarching Heaven Pill. Fake news! The news is definitely fake! He had been waiting for the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and Duan Ling Tian to humiliate themselves. Who knew they actually managed to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill?

Bai Yu Xuan had met Duan Ling Tian, and he had ascertained that Duan Ling Tian was truly not even 100 years old. It was unimaginable that someone who was not even 100 years old to possess the capability to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. He was unwilling to believe this so he had sent some men to investigate the veracity of the news. Alas, after confirming the news was true, he had no choice but to believe it.

His expression was unsightly when he confirmed the news was true. How did the Tai Yi Celestial Sect get so lucky to recruit a talented prominent Celestial Alchemist like that young man! No wonder hes so arrogant. As it turns out, hes a highly skilled prominent Celestial Alchemist, a genius Celestial Alchemist. Hes not even 100 years old, but hes capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill!

Bai Yu Xuan was well aware that such a genius talent would be highly respected by his father. If Duan Ling Tian was willing, his father would even welcome Duan Ling Tian to the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect with open arms. At that time, he could not even afford to offend Duan Ling Tian. His eyes glinted resolutely as he thought to himself, It doesnt matter if youre a genius in alchemy and can refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. I, Bai Yu Xuan, will get that woman!

In the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sects temporary residence in Alchemy City.

Duan Ling Tian? The name sounds familiar. The Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect had also heard of the news today. She wondered inwardly, Where have I heard this name before? Im rather certain Ive heard of the name of the Tai Yi Celestial Sects Chief Celestial Alchemist before

At this point, it still had not dawned on her the reason why Duan Ling Tians name sounded familiar to her was due to her sending her subordinate to hunt down and kill him in the past. She had heard the name Duan Ling Tian after her subordinate had returned to report that she had failed the mission. Duan Ling Tian was none other than the man who had taken her nieces virginity. Naturally, she was one of the very few people in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect who knew Murong Bing was her biological niece.

Although everyone in the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect knew their sect leader favored Murong Bing, they assumed it was due to Murong Bings high and extraordinary innate talent. No one would expect that even if Murong Bings talent was only average, the sect leader would still favor her due to their blood relations.

Similarly, the temporary residences of the other top sects of the Six Southeastern Region were in an uproar as well.

No one expected a genius prominent Celestial Alchemist younger than 100 years old capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill would appear before the Alchemy Conference began. This young mans future was extremely bright. There was no doubt his name would resound in the entire borderlands in the future! Even the forces in the central region of the Southern Heaven Territory would want to recruit a remarkable alchemist like Duan Ling Tian if they knew about him.

A prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill might be nothing to those forces, but a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill who was not even 100 years old was a completely different story. It was not a stretch to say the major forces in the central region would compete to recruit him! Since he was able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill at such a young age, his future would be as boundless!

As Duan Ling Tian grew more famous in Alchemy City, the Tai Yi Celestial Sects shop in Alchemy City was booming in business as well. The shop was so busy, and there were so many customers that it seemed that the shop could collapse. For this reason, Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing became incredibly busy.

After a while, Duan Ling Tian stopped frequenting the shop as well. Although there were still many customers, there were a lot fewer customers when Duan Ling Tian was not around.

Did those customers only come for Master Duan? It did not take long for Situ Ming to figure this out.

Master Duan is a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill even though hes not even 100 years old. Its only natural that people are curious about him, Yang Chong said.

Should we ask Master Duan to frequent the shop more often? That way, our sales will increase even more, Situ Ming suggested.

However, Situ Mings suggestion was quickly vetoed by Yang Chong and Yu Zhong Jing.

Master Situ, are you that desperate to get rich? Were already busy as it is. If things get as busy as when Master Duan is here, I think well work ourselves to death, Yang Chong quickly said.

No. Yu Zhong Jing was as taciturn as usual. His answer was curt to to-the-point. He did not explain himself like Yang Chong.

A few days later. In the Tai Yi Celestial Sects temporary residence in Alchemy City.

In the main hall. Duan Ling Tian had just consecutively sent a few groups of visiting Celestial Alchemists away. He could not help but grumble to He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. I thought Id be able to get some peace and quiet after I stopped going to the shop. Who knew it would be even busier?

After Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath, he said to He Shan, Old Ancestor, I cant deal with this anymore. I wont be leaving my room until its time to attend the Alchemy Conference. Please receive the visitors on my behalf regardless of who they are. Just tell them Im in closed-door cultivation. I dont care even if they say Im arrogant! After he finished speaking, he did not even wait for He Shans reply before he left the main hall with Huaner in tow.

During the past few days, a couple of dozens of Celestial Alchemists had come to visit Duan Ling Tian. All of them had a remarkable background or came from top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions. They, naturally, came to befriend Duan Ling Tian. Someone was as talented as Duan Ling Tian was definitely worthy of respect. Many of them thought it was better to befriend him now. Once he grew famous, it would be harder to befriend him.

Duan Ling Tian had no intention of meeting any of these people, but He Shan had requested that he represent Tai Yi Celestial Sect to receive the visitors. After a few days, Duan Ling Tian who hated socializing was finally done with it. After he made his intention known to He Shan, he left immediately.

He Shan, who was currently left alone in the main hall, could only smile bitterly. If Duan Ling Tian was a normal Tai Yi Celestial Sects elder, he would have rebuked Duan Ling Tian. However, Duan Ling Tian was only an interim Revered Elder of the sect. It could be considered that Duan Ling Tian had lowered himself to stay in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect when there were so many stronger sects that wanted to recruit him. Therefore, He Shan thought it was only natural to accommodate Duan Ling Tians whims and please him.

He Shan did not waste time and issued a statement immediately. From today onward until the start of the Alchemy Conference, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect will no longer be receiving visitors. Please forgive us!

The people from various forces who wanted to meet Duan Ling Tian out of curiosity were stopped at the entrance to Tai Yi Celestial Sects temporary residence.

Time passed, and days flew by. In just a blink of an eye, the Alchemy Conference was about to commence.
