In the Wasteland of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom's Imperial Palace in the Spirit Overarching Heaven.
"It's done!"
A hearty laugh instantly filled a room in the courtyard of a guest room. Because there was a soundproof formation in the room, the sound inside did not spread out.
The owner of the laughter was none other than the purple-clad young man who was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
The purple-clad young man raised his hand and put away the cauldron that was hovering in front of him. At the same time, he opened his other hand, revealing three dark green Celestial Pills lying in his palm.
The dark green immortal pill lay in the purple-robed young man's palm. It seemed to be surrounded by a layer of green mist, giving people a hazy feeling.
"Fortunately, I have experience refining prominent Celestial Pills. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to refine this cauldron of Overarching Heaven Pills."
The purple-clad young man was none other than Duan Lingtian who had immersed himself in refining pills ever since he returned from Xu Rong Palace.
Initially, he had refined the prominent Celestial Pill, the Weaving Overarching Pill.
Compared to the other prominent Celestial Pills, the Weaving Overarching Pill's ingredients were the most common. Moreover, it was relatively easy to refine.
Even so, it still took Duan Lingtian some time before he successfully refined the Weaving Overarching Pill. Moreover, the success rate of refining the Weaving Overarching Pill was extremely low. He only managed to refine two pills.
After that, Duan Lingtian continued to refine the Weaving Overarching Pill patiently.
Only after spending a long time increasing his success rate did he begin to refine other high-grade immortal pills that required more common materials but were much more difficult to refine than the Weaving Sifting Pill.
Starting with the Weaving Overarching Pill, he continued to refine the other prominent Celestial Pills.
During this time, Duan Lingtian's skill in refining pills continued to improve.
Eventually, Duan Lingtian asked Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince, to help him gather the ingredients needed to refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill.
It took Long Fei Yun a long time and a lot of effort to gather the ingredients needed to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. If the refinement failed, Duan Lingtian would not be able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill again in a short period of time.
After all, the ingredients needed to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill were extremely rare, let alone the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
In the Wasteland, the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland were the best places to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill.
However, it was not easy to obtain the ingredients from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
Although the success rate is low, it's still my first time refining the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill. It's already very rare for me to be able to refine three pills.
With the three Overarching Heaven Pills in hand, Duan Lingtian got out of bed and left the room to look for Huan 'er.' I'll give the Overarching Heaven Pill to Huan 'er to see if she can absorb the medicinal efficacy of the Overarching Heaven Pill and improve her cultivation base.
Huan 'er is currently an earth-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial so she can absorb the medicinal efficacy of the Overarching Heaven Pill. However, once she breaks through and becomes a heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, the medicinal efficacy of the Overarching Heaven Pill will be useless to her.'
When Duan Lingtian arrived at the backyard, he discovered Huan 'er was not cultivating in her room. Instead, she was comprehending Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities in the backyard.
"Brother Ling Tian!"
Although Huan 'er was comprehending Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities in the backyard, she immediately noticed Duan Lingtian's arrival. She stopped comprehending Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities and happily greeted Duan Lingtian.
"Brother Ling Tian, how did you refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill?"
Huan 'er was aware that Duan Lingtian had been refining the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill, for the past few days. Therefore, when she saw Duan Lingtian, she immediately asked Duan Lingtian about the Overarching Heaven Pill.
"Sigh."
Duan Lingtian sighed when he saw Huan 'er's expectant gaze.
Huan 'er, naturally, assumed Duan Lingtian had failed to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. Therefore, she quickly comforted him.
"Brother Ling Tian, it's alright if you fail. After all, the Overarching Heaven Pill is widely acknowledged as the most difficult prominent Celestial Pill to refine.
Even if you fail this time, there's always a next time. I'm sure you'll be able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill next time. "
Based on her words, it was clear she had faith in Duan Lingtian.
"Huan 'er, what do you think these are?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled when he heard Huan 'er's words. He did not intend to tease her anymore. He raised his hand and revealed the three Overarching Heaven Pills to Huan' er.
"These are …"
Huan 'er's eyes lit up when she saw the pills. "These are the Overarching Heaven Pills?!"
Huan 'er was no longer the same Huan' er who had just entered the world.
During her time in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, she had used many Memory Celestial Talismans given to her by Long Fei Yun, the thirteenth prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
Among the Memory Celestial Records, there was information about the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill.
Therefore, with just a glance, she could tell the three pills in Duan Lingtian's hand were prominent Celestial Pills, the Overarching Heaven Pills.
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded with a smile on his face. "Indeed, these are the Overarching Heaven Pills. However, since it's my first time refining the Overarching Heaven Pills, I only managed to refine three pills. "
Before Huan 'er could respond to Duan Lingtian's words, a voice rang in the air.
"You refined the Overarching Heaven Pills?!"
A voice rang in the air and entered Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er's ears. Their expressions changed drastically.
"Who's that?!"
"Who's that?!"
Upon hearing the voice, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er raised their heads in unison to look at the sky above the courtyard.
The exclamation just now had come from that direction.
At the same time, Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er raised their heads to look at the sky.
Swoosh!
In the void above the courtyard of the guest room, a black figure appeared like a ghost. It was a person wearing a black robe with golden edges. From his burly figure, one could tell that he was a man.
Based on the voice earlier, one could tell he was a man as well.
The man dressed in a black robe embroidered with gold slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er.
He was wearing a golden mask that completely covered his face, making it impossible to see his true appearance behind the mask.
In addition, there was a golden token hanging on his waist. There was a scarlet word 'kill' engraved on it, as if it was dyed in blood.
"A gold-ranked assassin?!"
Duan Lingtian's expression changed drastically when he saw the gold-ranked assassin's appearance.
Even Huan 'er's expression turned unsightly in an instant.
Duan Lingtian knew there were black-market assassins in the three cities controlled by the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland.
The black-market assassins were divided into gold-ranked assassins, silver-ranked assassins, and bronze-ranked assassins.
Among them, bronze-ranked assassins were the weakest. They were a group of Great Overarching Golden Celestials. The strongest among them was a peak Great Overarching Golden Celestial.
Silver-ranked assassins were a group of Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. The strongest among them was a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
As for gold-ranked assassins, they were extremely rare, and each of them was a powerful Celestial Duke.
Both Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er had read about the black-market assassins in the Wasteland from the Memory Celestial Talismans. Therefore, they were familiar with the outfits of the black-market assassins. With just a glance, they could tell the person in front of them was a gold-ranked assassin.
Naturally, there was another possibility.
The person in front of them was not a gold-ranked assassin, but he was wearing a gold-ranked assassin's robe.
However, both Duan Ling Tian and Huan 'er did not think that was possible at all.
After all, if the person in front of them was not a Celestial Duke, they would not have been able to sneak into the Imperial Palace of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.
After all, the Imperial Palace of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was guarded by peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials. Their Divine Consciousness could cover the entire Imperial Palace at all times.
Only those who were Celestial Dukes and above would be able to sneak into the Imperial Palace without being discovered.
For this reason, the person in front of them was very confident.
Duan Lingtian and Huan 'er were certain that the person in front of them was a gold-ranked assassin.
The person in front of them was a gold-ranked assassin.
"You actually recognized me as a gold-ranked assassin … It seems like you know a lot about the black-market assassins."
The tall and sturdy man dressed in a black robe stared intently at Duan Ling Tian before he shifted his gaze to Huan 'er who was standing at the side.
At this moment, Huan 'er was not wearing a veil or a hat.
A perfect and peerless face was completely displayed in front of the burly man who admitted that he was a Gold Medal Assassin. This caused the burly man's eyes to brighten as a stunned expression flashed across his face.
"What a perfect woman … It's a pity I'm not interested in women. Otherwise, I would've taken you away even if I didn't kill you."
The gold-medal assassin retracted his gaze from Huan 'er. He was like a monk with a heart as tranquil as still water. He was not interested in women at all. In fact, he did not even spare them a glance.
'He really is a gold-ranked assassin!'
Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the gold-ranked assassin's words. He looked at the gold-ranked assassin solemnly and asked, "Since you're a gold-ranked assassin and you're here, are you targeting both of us?"
"She's my target!"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's question, the gold-ranked assassin did not look at Huan 'er. Instead, he looked at Duan Lingtian and pointed at Huan' er.
Swoosh!
As soon as the gold-ranked assassin finished speaking, Duan Lingtian's expression changed drastically. He instinctively moved in front of Huan 'er and shielded her behind him. At the same time, he looked at the gold-ranked assassin warily.
Swoosh!
