“The Flying Tiger Clan?”

“To be precise, it’s the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in the Profound Nether Mansion!”

“Your words reminded me of something… The Deputy Patriarch of the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in the Profound Nether Mansion came to the Solitary Nation’s capital two days ago for a Royal Grade Celestial Weapon.”

“You might not know this, but Duan Ling Tian had a hand in choosing the sword-shaped Origin Stone that contained the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon. Bai Gang, one of the leaders of the entourage from the Supporting Fall Nation, is a Copper Flying Tiger. He was the one who suggested giving the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon to the clan branch.”

“Now that you put two and two together, it’s beginning to make sense. Since Duan Ling Tian had a hand in obtaining the Royal Grade Celestial Weapon, the Flying Tiger Clan probably rewarded him by sending their King Grade Celestial Alchemist to refine the Profound Golden Pill for him!”

The people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation might not be residing in the same place, but all of them arrived at the same conclusion.

An old man, the leader of the entourage from the East Ming Nation, said, “Regardless, the leader of the entourage from the Supporting Fall Nation has promised us to put a Profound Golden Pill up for auction in ten days…”

‘The Profound Golden Pill…’ Ling Jue Yun who always maintained an icy demeanor finally had a slight change in expression. Previously, he did not have high hopes that they would be able to refine the Profound Golden Pill even if they obtained the two Golden Nematodes that were necessary to refine the pills. After all, they did not have a King Grade Celestial Alchemist. Now that it was certain there would be a Profound Golden Pill, anticipation began to build in his heart.

Ling Jue Yun looked at the old man and sent a Voice Transmission. “Elder Hu, I must have the Profound Golden Pill! I know there’s a limit on the Celestial Crystals that His Majesty has given you to bid on the Golden Nematodes. However, if you can help me obtain the Profound Golden Pill, not only will I return you the extra Celestial Crystals you spend to obtain the Profound Golden Pill, but I will also owe you a huge favor…” Based on his words, it could be seen that he was determined to obtain the Profound Golden Pill!

“Little Ling, I’ll do everything in my power to obtain the Profound Golden Pill for you!” the old man replied through Voice Transmission as his eyes glinted with determination. He had very high hopes for Ling Jue Yun. In his opinion, Ling Jue Yun’s future was incredibly bright. Moreover, after traveling to the Solitary Nation’s capital together, he felt that Ling Jue Yun resembled someone who came from a powerful clan or sect rather than a sectless cultivator. Ling Jue Yun’s speech and mannerism were extraordinary and even put him to shame. For all these reasons, he was certain he would be handsomely rewarded in the future as long as he helped Ling Jue Yun; it was only a matter of time.

“No wonder you didn’t bid on the pair of Golden Nematodes. As turns out, those from the Supporting Fall Nation had made such a promise.”

Realization finally dawned on the Second Prince of the East Ming Nation and the others after they listened to the old man’s explanation. So the Supporting Fall Nation had guaranteed they would be able to refine Profound Golden Pills and promised to put one pill up for the two nations to bid on.

“The Profound Golden Pill, the Profound Golden Pill…” A hint of desire flashed in the depths of the eyes of the Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation. The wheels in his mind began to turn now that he knew there was a real possibility of him obtaining a Profound Golden Pill. He looked at a middle-aged man, the leader of the entourage from the Moran Nation, and said in a deep voice, “Uncle Lian, I’m aware of the limit on the Celestial Crystals you’ve been given to bid for the Golden Nematodes… However, now that our target has changed from the pair of Golden Nematodes to a Profound Golden Pill, I hope that you’ll disregard that limit. If it’s necessary, I hope you’ll use your Celestial Crystals first. When we return, I’ll ask father to return the Celestial Crystals to you.”

As long as he consumed the Profound Golden Pill, the Seventh Prince of the Moran Natin knew he would be able to become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. At that time, he was confident he would become the strongest person below Celestial Dukes in the Moran Nation. Even if he was not a match for Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun, the genius sectless cultivators from the Supporting Fall Nation and the East Ming Nation respectively, his performance would be better when he entered the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I know what to do,” the middle-aged man replied indifferently.

In a courtyard located in the heart of the Solitary Nation’s Imperial Palace.

The Emperor of the Solitary Nation had just finished listening to the report from He Feng, the Commander of the Solitary Nation’s Imperial Army. He shook his head and said, “You said the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation has employed a King Grade Celestial Alchemist to refine the Profound Golden Pill to help Duan Ling Tian? That’s impossible. I know him; he’s definitely not so farsighted…” He sounded sure of his words when he spoke.

As the Emperor of the Solitary Nation, which neighbored the Supporting Fall Nation, he had interacted with the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation many times. He was well aware of what kind of person the other party was. The price to employ a King Grade Celestial Alchemist was too high. The Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation would only do something if he could see the benefits. Unless the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation was certain Duan Ling Tian would bring him greater benefits than the price he had to pay for a King Grade Celestial Alchemist, there was no way he would employ a King Grade Celestial Alchemist to help Duan Ling Tian.

“If it isn’t the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation who hired a King Grade Celestial Alchemist, then who could it be? Could it be Huang Yuan Fei? No… I don’t think he’s capable of that…” He Feng said with a slight frown on his face.

“You’re right. Huang Yuan Fei isn’t capable of that… However, don’t forget about the people around him… For instance, Bai Gang…” the Emperor of the Solitary Nation said apathetically.

“Bai Gang?” He Feng’s eyes widened. A thought appeared in his mind immediately. “Your Majesty, are you saying that the Flying Tiger Clan’s branch in the Profound Nether Mansion sent their King Grade Celestial Alchemist to refine the Profound Golden Pill for Duan Ling Tian as a reward for helping them obtain the Royal Grade Celestial Sword?”

“Apart from that, I can’t think of any other possibilities,” the Emperor of the Solitary Nation replied.

After thinking about it, He Feng felt that the Emperor of the Solitary Nation was right.

Ten days passed in just a blink of an eye for those in the Devata Realms.

Duan Ling Tian who was sitting cross-legged on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. A bright smile could be seen on his face at this moment. “I finally broke through and became a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!”

Now that Duan Ling Tian was a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, his aura had changed slightly. With just a thought, his Celestial Origin Energy covered the surface of his skin. His previous strength was incomparable to this.

“The efficacy of the Profound Golden Pill is truly amazing!”

Duan Ling Tian lifted his hand before a pill bottle appeared in his hand. It contained one of the two Profound Golden Pills that he had successfully refined two days ago. He had consumed one of the pills so there was only one left.

After two days, the Profound Golden Pill had helped Duan Ling Tian break through and become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.

“I think Uncle Huang must be like a cat on hot bricks now.” Duan Ling Tian looked up at the sky as soon as he exited his room. It was almost noon. It was likely that the people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation had arrived.

Soon enough, Duan Ling Tian heard someone calling out to him from the side. “Brother Duan! You finally came out!” He knew it was Huang Jia Long without even looking.

“Jia Long.” Duan Ling Tian saw Huang Jia Long and Liu Guang Lin standing in his courtyard.

A solemn expression appeared on Huang Jia Long’s face as he asked, “Brother Duan, did you succeed?” At this moment, his father and Old Mo were entertaining the people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation, who had come to bid on the Profound Golden Pill, in the main hall of their courtyard in the Solitary Nation’s Imperial Palace. He was, naturally, anxious since he did not know if Duan Ling Tian had successfully refined the Profound Golden Pill or not.

“Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint all of you.” Duan Ling Tian lifted his hand and shook the pill bottle. Then, he tossed the pill bottle to Huang Jia Long as though he was throwing away trash.

“I-it… It’s the Profound Golden Pill!” Huang Jia Long deftly caught the pill bottle in his hand. He quickly opened the pill bottle and saw a pill lying in there. Based on the strong medicinal scent that wafted into his nose and the unique glow on the surface of the pill, he could tell in just an instant that it was the Profound Golden Pill.

Huang Jia Long’s eyes shone brightly, and he heaved a sigh of relief upon receiving confirmation that Duan Ling Tian had successfully refined the Profound Golden Pill. However, soon after, a thought appeared in his mind. “Brother Duan, did you only manage to refine one Profound Golden Pill?”

“What do you think?” Duan Ling Tian asked. He did not wait for Huang Jia Long’s reply before he revealed the aura of his soul, revealing his true cultivation base.

“A Peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!” Huang Jia Long’s eyes shone with happiness, and a wide smile bloomed on his face. “Congratulations, Brother Duan! Congratulations!”

Then, Huang Jia Long continued to say with a guilty expression on his face, “I didn’t think you’d be able to successfully refine two Profound Golden Pills! I’m truly foolish to have doubted you. I even thought my father’s confidence in you was blind! It seems like father is still better than me at judging a person…”

At this moment, Liu Guang Lin, whose eyes were shining with admiration, chimed in, “Congratulations, my lord!” Although he trusted his master’s abilities, he was still shocked when he learned that his master had successfully refined the two Profound Golden Pills.

Duan Ling Tian asked, “I’m guessing the people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation have arrived by now?”

“Yes, father and Old Mo are greeting them in the main hall. Since you’ve come out from your closed-door cultivation, we should make our way over. I’m really curious how many Celestial Crystals they are willing to pay for the Profound Golden Pill…” A hint of excitement could be heard in Huang Jia Long’s voice when he spoke. Now that he had seen Duan Ling Tian and the Profound Golden Pill, he was no longer anxious like he was earlier.
