War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Not every divine alchemist who could extract vitality energy from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy were capable of refining Limit Divine pills even if they were just god-grade Limit Divine Pills, let alone those who could not extract vitality energy. The higher the grade of the Limit Divine Pills, the more vitality energy was needed to refine them. Hence, those who were capable of refining Limit Divine Pills were usually extraordinary lord-grade divine alchemists at least. These figures were unlikely to join a lord-rank force like the Linghu clan when they were highly sought after by emperor-rank forces like the Flying Dragon Sect.

“What do you mean, Clan Leader Linghu?” Duan Ling Tian asked in confusion.

“Which senior refined the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Divine Pills?” Linghu Ren Jie asked again.

“You’re talking about these?” Duan Ling Tian brought out the three Divine Pills from his spatial ring. The pills glowed with a reddish brown light after they had successfully undergone the Pill Tribulation. The ancient words on the pills shone dazzlingly as well.

“That’s right,” Linghu Ren Jie nodded as he said, “Usually, Limit Divine Pills will trigger the Pill Tribulations after they’re formed. You went to the chambers of laws to comprehend the laws of life and wood to become an alchemist, right? Did you invite someone here to teach you alchemy? Where is he?”

A hint of eagerness could be heard in Linghu Ren Jie’s voice as he spoke. Linghu Hua had informed Linghu Ren Jie as soon as Duan Ling Tian left the chambers of laws so he knew Duan Ling Tian had just returned to his courtyard today. “There’s no one here. I refined these,” Duan Ling Tian said as he shook his head and looked at the Divine Pills in his hand.

Linghu Ren Jie, the old man, and Wang Fu were shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words. Similar to Linghu Ren Jie, Wang Fu had also assumed the Divine Pills were refined by someone else. However, upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, he recalled that Duan Ling Tian had stayed in his room after returning from the chambers of laws. Moreover, there were no visitors. He would have been aware if there was a visitor, after all.

“Y-young Master Duan, you can refine Limit Divine Pills?!” Wang Fu exclaimed in shock. A hint of reverence could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

Linghu Ren Jie looked at Duan Ling Tian in a daze as he asked, “D-duan Ling Tian, are you joking?”

“No, I’m telling the truth,” Duan Ling Tian replied as he shook his head.

“B-but…” Linghu Ren Jie stammered, “Didn’t, didn’t you just comprehend the laws of life and wood and was just beginning to learn alchemy?”

“That’s right,” Duan Ling Tian said as he nodded, “That was my first time refining pills. I failed my first attempt. I don’t think I’m very gifted since I failed even though the steps were listed in detail…”

Linghu Ren Jie looked at Duan Ling Tian, dumbfounded. When he regained his senses, the corners of his lips began to twitch. Was it not normal to fail during one’s first attempt?

From what Linghu Ren Jie knew, even highly talented alchemists from Devata Realms who came to the Realms of Gods were considered extraordinary as long as they were able to successfully refine pills within their first ten tries. However, Duan Ling Tian felt like he was not gifted just because he failed his first attempt? Even the lips of the old man standing behind Linghu Ren Jie twitched upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words. Duan Ling Tian continued to say, “. Fortunately, I have enough medicinal herbs to try again. At that time, I thought if I fail my second attempt as well, I’d give up on trying. I was very careful during my second attempt. I didn’t expect the Divine Pills to become Limit Divine Pills and trigger the Pill Tribulation. Fortunately, they passed the tribulation. Otherwise, I’d question my skills again.”

Upon seeing how serious Duan Ling Tian was when he uttered those words, Linghu Ren Jie was suddenly filled with the urge to beat Duan Ling Tian up.

Linghu Ren Jie was not alone. The people in the surroundings were also filled with the urge to beat Duan Ling Tian up after listening to his words.

The group of disciples and elders from the Linghu clan began to discuss among themselves.

“Hey, do you think Revered Elder Duan is trying to brag or is really unaware of what he’s saying?”

“I’m really angry! I’m a king-rank divine alchemist. When I started practicing alchemy, I destroyed more than 20 Divine Pill Cauldrons before I successfully refined my first Divine Pill! He thinks he’s not gifted just because he only succeeded during his second attempt?”

“Why do I think he’s just showing off?”

“I really feel Revered Elder Duan needs to be beaten up! I really want to beat him up!” “Me too!” Upon hearing the discussions in his surroundings, Duan Ling Tian finally realized he was actually talented in alchemy. He sighed in relief inwardly. Fortunately, he did not give up after his first failed attempt. Otherwise, he would not have known he was a talented alchemist.

At this moment, the old man standing behind Linghu Ren Jie asked in disbelief, “Revered Elder Duan, that was your first time refining

pills?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. Then, he turned to Linghu Ren Jie and asked, “Clan Leader, he is?”

Linghu Ren Jie regained his senses and introduced the old man to Duan Ling Tian. “Duan Ling Tian, this is our Linghu clan’s Chief Divine Alchemist. He’s Revered Elder Lin Yan. He’s my best friend, and I trust him with my life. We met when I wandered the world during my younger days…”

“Greetings, Revered Elder Lin,” Duan Ling Tian greeted the old man,

Lin Yan’s face flushed red upon hearing Linghu Ren Jie’s words. Then, he nodded politely to Duan Ling Tian before he said to Linghu Ren Jie in a self-deprecating manner, “Linghu Ren Jie, are you trying to embarrass me? How can you introduce me as the Chief Divine Alchemist of the clan to Revered Elder Duan who had just refined the Limit Divine Pills?” Linghu Ren Jie said, “Old friend, didn’t you hear that this was his first time refining a pill?”

“That’s right.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. His eyes were bright as he looked at Lin Yan and said, “Revered Elder Lin, I followed the instructions I obtained from one of the records in the Linghu clan’s library. I remember the record has your signature on it! You must have been the one who came up with that new technique! Revered Elder Lin, I’m just a beginner so I have much to learn from you. Considering your expertise and experience, I’d appreciate it if you’d advise me.”

o

Duan Ling Tian was genuinely enthusiastic about learning alchemy and was not pretentious at all. However, this made Lin Yan feel even more bitter when hearing the words of the monstrous talent who could refine Limit Divine Pills during his second attempt. He took a deep breath before he shook his head and said, “Revered Elder Duan, I’m not worthy of offering you advice. However, we can exchange knowledge with each other.” “Revered Elder Lin, you’re too modest. How can I compare to the Linghu clan’s Chief Divine Alchemist?” Duan Ling Tian said.

Lin Yan would have beaten Duan Ling Tian up if it were not for Duan Ling Tian’s sincerity and innocent eyes. He took a couple of deep breaths to calm down before he curiously asked, “Revered Elder Duan, in order for Divine Pills to turn into Limit Divine Pills, vitality energy is needed during the purification stage. How did you manage to extract vitality energy from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy during your first attempt?”

Lin Yan decided to change the topic. Otherwise, if Duan Ling Tian continued to talk, he was not sure he could hold back from beating Duan Ling Tian up.

Duan Ling Tian said, “It’s easy. I just followed the technique I read in the record. I incorporate the law of life into my Divine Energy before I extract vitality energy from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. I remember your signature is also on that Memory Jade Talisman. Revered Elder Lin, you’re really amazing! Your technique helped me to extract vitality energy from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy so quickly!” “That’s right.” Duan Ling Tian nodded. His eyes lit up as he looked at Lin Yan. “Revered Elder Lin, I followed the instructions listed in the pill formula that’s recorded in the Linghu clan’s library… The formula has your signature on it, so you must be the one who improvised it, right? Revered Elder Lin, I’m just a beginner, there is so much for me to learn from you, your advice and expertise are highly appreciated.”

Duan Ling Tian was genuinely passionate about alchemy and did not seem to be pretentious at all. That made Lin Yan feel bitter. A monster who produced the Limit Divine Pill on his first day of refining the divine pill?

Lin Yan took a deep breath then shook his head and said, “Revered Elder Lin, I’m not worthy of offering you any advice but we can exchange knowledge with each other.”

“Revered Elder Lin, you’re being too humble. How can I match someone like you who is the Linghu clan’s Chief Divine Alchemist?” Duan Ling Tian replied.

Lin Yan might have beaten Duan Ling Tian up if it was not because of his sincerity and innocent gaze. Lin Yan took a couple of deep breaths. After regaining his senses, he asked curiously, “Revered Elder Duan, in order for a divine pill to become a Limit Divine Pill, the life force energy is required for the purification process. You managed to extract Heaven and Earth’s life force on your first day of refining the pills?” Lin Yan shifted the topic, he was afraid he could not retain himself and act out of anger if Duan Ling Tian continued saying.

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “That’s right. Isn’t it easy? I followed the techniques listed in the books in the Linghu clan’s library. I incorporate my Divine Energy with the law of life and extract Heaven and Earth’s life force after sensing them,” Duan Ling Tian said solemnly, “I remember there’s your signature on the Memory Jade Talisman as well, so it must be recorded by you. Revered Elder Lin, you’re amazing. Your techniques enabled me to extract Heaven and Earth’s life force in just a

day.”
