"You only want 100 Overarching Heaven Pills for 38 sets of medicinal herbs?"
Duan Lingtian was taken aback when he heard Tie Tai He's words.
It was not because he thought Tie Tai He was greedy, but he thought Tie Tai He's request was too low.
Was Tie Tai He looking down on his alchemy skills or did he think he would not be able to refine as many Overarching Heaven Pills with 38 sets of medicinal herbs?
Previously, he had successfully refined the Overarching Heaven Pill for the first time. Although he had only managed to refine three pills, he was confident that he would be able to refine more than five pills if he were to refine them again.
Moreover, as he became more proficient in refining Overarching Heaven Pills, he was confident his success rate would increase.
"Guardian Tie."
Although Duan Lingtian wanted to earn some Overarching Heaven Pills from Tie Tai He, he did not intend to cheat Tie Tai He. Therefore, he said to Tie Tai He, "I'll give you 120 Overarching Heaven Pills for 38 sets of medicinal herbs."
120 Overarching Heaven Pills?
Tie Tai He was stunned when he heard Duan Lingtian's words.
As far as he knew, Duan Lingtian's success rate in refining Overarching Heaven Pills was not high. He had learned Duan Lingtian had only managed to refine three Overarching Heaven Pills when he killed the woman next to Duan Lingtian.
For this reason, he had only asked for 100 Overarching Heaven Pills based on what he had seen.
He was prepared for Duan Lingtian to haggle with him. The Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had given him a minimum of 80 Overarching Heaven Pills. After all, 38 sets of medicinal herbs were required to refine Overarching Heaven Pills.
Thirty-eight batches of Overarching Heaven Pills were all that the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had in stock.
However, he did not expect Duan Lingtian would not haggle with him. Instead, he took the initiative to ask for an additional 20 Overarching Heaven Pills. He could not figure out why Duan Lingtian would do this.
If Duan Ling Tian was in Duan Ling Tian's shoes, he would not have offered to give Duan Ling Tian 20 Overarching Heaven Pills even if he could refine more than 120 Overarching Heaven Pills.
After all, he had said that the Tai Yi Celestial Sect only wanted 100 Overarching Heaven Pills.
"Alchemist Duan, are you serious?"
Tie Tai He took a deep breath before he looked at Duan Lingtian and said, "I know the success rate of refining the Overarching Heaven Pills is extremely low … It's still alright if it's 100 pills, but can you guarantee a success rate of 120 pills?"
"What? Are you afraid that I can't afford 120 Overarching Heaven Pills? "
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly. "Guardian Tie, since I've already said it, I won't say it without thinking … You can come and collect the 120 Overarching Heaven Pills in ten days."
After receiving confirmation from Duan Lingtian, Tie Tai He looked at Duan Lingtian meaningfully. Then, he cupped his hands together at Duan Lingtian and said, "Alchemist Duan, regardless of whether you can afford 120 Overarching Heaven Pills in ten days or not, I, Tie Tai He, will still acknowledge you as my friend."
Tie Tai He was a straightforward person. When he saw Duan Lingtian was also straightforward, he could not help but sympathize with Duan Lingtian.
"Then, I'm really trying to climb up the social ladder."
Duan Lingtian said with a faint smile on his face.
"Brother Duan!"
At this moment, a familiar voice resonated from outside the courtyard. Duan Ling Tian could tell it was Long Fei Yun, the thirteenth prince, when he heard the voice.
Before Duan Lingtian could respond to Long Fei Yun, Tie Tai He had already bade farewell to Duan Lingtian and left.
"Alchemist Duan, I'll be back in ten days."
When Tie Tai He's voice entered Duan Ling Tian's ears, it was as though he had vanished into thin air. Duan Ling Tian could not find any trace of him at all.
"Come in."
Duan Ling Tian called out to Long Fei Yun before Long Fei Yun finally entered the room.
"Qin Yu?!"
Duan Ling Tian was slightly surprised when he saw Long Fei Yun had brought someone with him instead of Qiu Ling. However, when he saw the person's appearance, he was stunned.
"Duan Lingtian."
Qin Yu was slightly excited to see Duan Lingtian again. "You're alright … It's good that you're alright."
"Qin Yu, why are you here? Come, have a seat … "
Duan Lingtian invited Qin Yu to take a seat. His enthusiasm made Long Fei Yun, who was standing at the side, jealous. After all, Duan Lingtian had never treated him with such enthusiasm before.
At the same time, Long Fei Yun made up his mind to befriend Qin Yu from the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom.
He did not care about Qin Yu's status in the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom.
Long Fei Yun wanted to befriend Qin Yu because of the special relationship between Qin Yu and Duan Lingtian.
"Thirteenth prince, please have a seat as well."
After inviting Qin Yu to take a seat, Duan Lingtian called out to Long Fei Yun. Even so, Long Fei Yun was not displeased at all. After all, with Duan Lingtian's status, he would not dare to show any displeasure even if Duan Lingtian asked him to stand.
Qin Yu, on the other hand, was shocked.
Although he had heard from Chu Yan that the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was very courteous to Duan Lingtian, he did not expect Duan Lingtian to be so courteous to Duan Lingtian.
Earlier, when Duan Lingtian asked him to take a seat, he looked at Long Fei Yun hesitantly.
In the end, he sat down and waited to see Long Fei Yun's reaction.
He thought no matter how courteous Long Fei Yun was to Duan Lingtian, he would be displeased when Duan Lingtian asked him to take a seat first. After all, his status was not worth mentioning in front of Long Fei Yun.
However, to his surprise, not only was Long Fei Yun not displeased, but he even felt it was only right.
Moreover, he discovered Long Fei Yun's gaze was much gentler when he looked at him. Moreover, there was even a hint of flattery in his eyes.
Qin Yu could not help but feel shocked.
He felt as though this was the first time he had met Duan Lingtian.
He was curious about what Duan Lingtian had gone through since Duan Lingtian left King Qin's Mansion with the Shadow Void Escaping Talisman. How did Duan Lingtian gain the respect of the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom?
To Duan Lingtian, Qin Yu was his first friend since he came to the Spirit Overarching Heaven.
Although he treated Long Fei Yun as his friend, there was a mutual benefit between them.
However, the relationship between him and Long Feiyun was ultimately one of mutual benefit. It was completely different from his friendship with Qin Yu.
In his heart, Qin Yu was a bit more important than Long Feiyun.
"Qin Yu, you still haven't told me why you're here."
Duan Lingtian asked.
"I came here with my uncle, the Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom. The Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom has 30 spots for the Grand Contest of the Wasteland. Two of them are from King Qin's Mansion. You know them, they're Chu Yan and Yang Jin."
Qin Yu said.
"I see."
Duan Lingtian nodded. Then, he asked, "How did you know I'm here?"
Duan Lingtian was surprised that Qin Yu was able to find him.
"Well, it's all thanks to Chu Yan."
Qin Yu told Duan Ling Tian about Duan Ling Tian's whereabouts and how he came to this place. He also told Duan Ling Tian that someone close to Duan Ling Tian had killed the Sixth Prince of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom.
"Duan Lingtian!"
Finally, as if he had recalled something, Qin Yu raised his hand and took out a portrait. He unfolded it and placed it on the stone table before him.
"This is …"
Duan Lingtian's eyes widened when he saw the portrait. He did not expect Qin Yu to have a portrait of Huan 'er.
The woman in the portrait was indeed Huan 'er's true appearance. She was peerless and flawless.
Even if it was just a portrait, the charm of the person in the portrait seemed to be able to overshadow everything in the surroundings …
"This …"
On the other hand, Long Feiyun, who was on the other side, was completely dumbfounded.
The woman in the portrait was drawn vividly and lifelike. That perfect and peerless appearance caused him, who usually did not get close to women, to be unable to help but have traces of ripples arise in his heart. Moreover, once his emotions were stirred up, he was no longer able to control himself.
This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman in his life. She was so perfect that it made his heart tremble. It was as though she was the most beautiful woman in the world.
"Why do you have this portrait?"
Duan Lingtian's expression was grave. The reason he asked Huan 'er to wear a veil and hat was because he did not want her true appearance to be exposed. Otherwise, it would bring him trouble.
Not long ago, he asked Huan 'er to kill the Sixth Prince of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom's Floating Image Pearl because he did not want anyone to know about Huan' er's true appearance.
Initially, he thought he would be safe once he took the Floating Image Pearl away.
He did not expect Qin Yu to take out a portrait of Huan 'er.
Duan Lingtian could only imagine.
If this portrait was exposed to the people in Tai Yi City, it would bring Huan 'er a lot of trouble.
Who were the people in Tai Yi City at this moment?
Apart from the people from the various Celestial Kingdoms, there were also people from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland. Most of them were high-ranking officials from the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland, and most of them were Celestial Dukes.
Among them, there were definitely some who were obsessed with women.
"This portrait …" Duan Lingtian muttered to himself.
When Qin Yu saw Duan Lingtian's grave expression, he told Duan Lingtian about how the portrait was spread throughout the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom.
Then, he added, "The Emperor of the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom should have confirmed that the woman wearing a veil and hat next to you is the woman in the portrait."
"The woman in the portrait is Miss Huan 'er?!"
Long Fei Yun's eyes widened when he heard Qin Yu's words. Shock and disbelief could be seen on his face. At the same time, he looked at Duan Ling Tian in a daze as though he was waiting for Duan Ling Tian's reply.
"That Shi Lei is really a madman!"
