“You...”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Xiao Gang Yu, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Blissful Sect, remained calm as he turned to look at Ji Fan, the Arhat of the Blissful Sect.

On the contrary, Ji Fan’s face flushed red from anger. Alas, he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Based on the duo’s reactions, it was clear to everyone which member of the Blissful Sect was the one who suggested betting with Duan Ling Tian.

In the end, Li An, the Old Ancestor of the Blissful Sect, broke the silence. “Let’s go!” His words effectively dissolved the tension brewing in the air.

Before leaving with the rest of the party from the Blissful Sect, Li An looked at Duan Ling Tian intently.

Duan Ling Tian seemed unintimidated by Li An’s strength and status as he returned Li An’s gaze with a calm and indifferent gaze. He knew it was important for him to maintain a fearless front at this time. If Li An saw the slightest hint of fear in him, Li An would be able to see through his lie about how he was from a powerful clan in the central area. At that time, Li An no longer had to feel wary about attacking him.

Even after the people from the Blissful Sect left, the onlookers were still discussing among themselves.

“What a surprise! I really didn’t expect Master Duan could refine eight Overarching Heaven Pills in one go! That’s two more Overarching Heaven Pills compared to Master Xiao!”

“Well, there’s no doubt Master Duan hid his strength a month ago.”

“That’s obvious. Otherwise, based on today’s result, how could he only refine three pills back then?”

“That’s right! What a stark difference... Just as Master Xiao had said, Master Duan had hidden his strength. Master Duan must have already planned to lure others into betting with him.”

“Well, many people have used this tactic in the Alchemy Conference over the years. If it weren’t because Master Duan is not even 100 years old, the Blissful Sect would’ve been warier.”

“That’s right. Master Duan is really young. It’s already an amazing feat that he can refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. No one really expected that his success rate would be so high as well.”

“Eight Overarching Heaven Pills... He refined eight Overarching Heaven Pills! Even Sun Chao, the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Blazing Sun Celestial Sect in the Light Region, who’s publicly recognized as the best prominent Celestial Alchemist in the Six Southeastern Regions, can only refine ten Overarching Heaven Pills at best, right?”

“He has already achieved such a feat at such a young age... His future is limitless!”

“I wonder how the Tai Yi Celestial Sect managed to recruit him? I think even the strongest sect in the Six Southeastern Regions, the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect, would do anything in their capabilities to recruit such a Celestial Alchemist into their sect, right?”

“The Tai Yi Celestial Sect is really lucky.”

“They’re not just lucky. They’re extremely lucky.”

Meanwhile, Zhou Shu Qiu who was standing with the people from the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect was stunned. Her eyes were brimming with disbelief as she thought to herself, ‘He actually won!’ She did not expect to win at all. At this moment, she admired him even more. A hint of adoration could be seen in her eyes when she looked at him. When she shifted her gaze to Murong Bing who was standing nearby, she saw joy shining in Murong Bing’s eyes. She could not help but sigh inwardly. Her best friend was truly lucky for having sex with such an excellent man. For a moment, she wished that she was the one who had sex him.

Similarly, Lyu Luo, who was standing next to Murong Bing, was in shock as well. She said, still dumbfounded, “Senior Sister... He... he won!”

“Yes.” Murong Bing nodded.

Nangong Xiu, the Sect Leader of the Compassionate Celestial Traveler Sect, studied Duan Ling Tian intently. Various thoughts were running through her mind at this moment. ‘Only the major clans in the central area would be able to produce such an outstanding talent like him, right? If Bing’er with him, it’d benefit both her and the sect...” Her eyes were shining brightly now as she looked at Duan Ling Tian. At this moment, she found him incredibly pleasing to the eyes.

At this moment, Zhong Shang, the supreme Celestial Alchemist from the Alliance of Celestial Masters, called out, “Master Duan!” He walked toward Duan Ling Tian with a smile on his face, and his tone was enthusiastic and polite.

“Master Zhong,” Duan Ling Tian quickly responded with a smile. Not only was Zhong Shang a supreme Celestial Alchemist, but his twin brother, Zhong Qi, was also a Ten Directions Celestial Duke. Zhong Shang and Zhong Qi were so strong in their own aspects that even the three Ten Directions Celestial Dukes and the Sect Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect would not recklessly offend them. Moreover, as the saying went, ‘No one would hate a friendly person’. Since Zhong Shang was being friendly, Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, friendly as well.

“Master Duan, are you interested in joining the Alliance of Celestial Masters?” Zhong Shang bluntly asked, extending an olive branch to Duan Ling Tian. He, naturally, hoped Duan Ling Tian would join the alliance.

The Alliance of Celestial Masters was different from a sect or clan. Most people who held a high position in the alliance were sectless cultivators. The alliance usually would not put much importance on members from a clan or sect regardless of how skilled they were since the alliance did not want these people to prioritize their sects or clans over the alliance. If there were a conflict of interest, those people would likely choose their clans or sects over the alliance.

For these reasons, if Duan Ling Tian were to join the Alliance of Celestial Masters, Zhong Shang expected Duan Ling Tian to draw a clear line between him and the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Duan Ling Tian could no longer hold onto his post as the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

“Thank you for your invitation, Master Zhong. If I were only the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, I’d definitely join the Alliance of Celestial Masters. However, I must consider my clan as well.” Duan Ling Tian deliberately mentioned his supposed clan. “After the Alchemy Conference ends, I plan to leave the Southeastern Six Regions and return to my clan in the central area.”

“Master Duan, your clan is from the central area?” Zhong Shang seemed surprised by Duan Ling Tian’s words. He was clearly disappointed as he said with a sigh, “I guess you really don’t have fate with the Alliance of Celestial Masters. I didn’t expect you to come from the central area. However, in hindsight, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. After all, it wouldn’t be possible for you to be so outstanding if you didn’t have an impressive background.” After learning about Duan Ling Tian’s supposed background, he longer had any thoughts about recruiting Duan Ling Tian into the Alliance of Celestial Masters. After all, they prioritized sectless cultivators in the alliance. Even so, he was still polite to Duan Ling Tian. After all, there was no doubt Duan Ling Tian was a peerless genius. With Duan Ling Tian’s current achievements, taking his age into consideration, he was definitely the most talented Celestial Alchemists in the Six Southeastern Regions and the borderlands! In fact, even in the central area, there were likely not many who had such achievements at such a young age. There was no doubt someone like that would be a force to reckon with in the future, providing he did not die young. It was for all these reasons that Zhong Shang decided to maintain a good relationship with Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, he had his pride as well so he would not overtly curry favor with Duan Ling Tian.

After exchanging a few more polite words with Duan Ling Tian, Zhong Shang finally left with Zhong Qi.

The onlookers began to leave one after another as well after the twin brothers’ departure.

At this moment, the three prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing, finally stepped forward and congratulated Duan Ling Tian. “Master Duan, congratulations!”

Nangong Xiu followed suit and congratulated Duan Ling Tian as well. “Master Duan, congratulations!”

Upon seeing Nangong Xiu’s action, Jian Qiu Luo, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect, also congratulated Duan Ling Tian. “Master Duan, congratulations!”

“You’re lucky you managed to obtain an offensive-defensive-movement Celestial Method just as the Alchemy Conference begins. You can use it as a stake to win other Duke Grade Celestial Methods or Divine Abilities with the same value later.”

Duan Ling Tian was undoubtedly pleased he managed to obtain the triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method. With this, he was a step closer to obtaining the offensive-defensive-movement Duke Grade Divine Ability he wanted. Moreover, now that He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, had died, he might not be able to use the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s King Grade Celestial Weapon as a stake. After all, only the strongest powerhouse and the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were qualified to decide if the King Grade Celestial Weapon could be used as a stake. With the triple-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method he just obtained, he did not have to worry about not having anything valuable to use as stakes.
