"He Shan? So that's the Old Ancestor's name. "
Duan Lingtian's heart skipped a beat when everyone's attention was on Huan 'er.
Previously, Tan Zheng Ye, the Vice Sect Leader of the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect in the Light Region, had addressed He Shan as Senior He Shan. This was the first time he had heard He Shan's name.
"Senior He Shan."
The young man and woman behind Tan Zheng Ye finally regained their senses. They shifted their gazes from Huan 'er to He Shan before they bowed in unison.
It was clear that the young man was struggling to look away from Huan 'er.
After all, Huan 'er was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.
Even in his imagination, he could not imagine that there would be such a beautiful woman in the world …
"Vice Sect Leader Tan, are they your disciples?"
He Shan nodded at the young man and woman behind Tan Zheng Ye before he asked with a smile on his face.
"Yes."
Tan Zheng Ye nodded. Then, he pointed at the young man and woman behind him and introduced them to He Shan, "This is my second disciple, Cheng Da Gang, and this is my second disciple, Zhong Xiao Hui."
"Yes, they're both good-looking."
He Shan nodded and said courteously.
"Senior He Shan, you came at the right time."
At this moment, Guan Qi Fei, the prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, looked at He Shan and asked, "You're a senior of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect … What do you think about the Tai Yi Celestial Sect selling the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill?"
As he spoke, Guan Qifei's tone became more interrogative.
However, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect did not even bother to look at him.
"You …" Guan Qi Fei was furious.
As the saying goes, even a clay figurine has three points of anger. Seeing the Tai Yi Old Ancestor ignore him like this, Guan Qi Fei immediately became angry from embarrassment, "He Shan!" Don't think I'll let this matter go just because you ignored me. It's a fact that the Tai Yi Celestial Sect violated the rules set by the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions! "
"An iron-clad fact?"
The Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect continued to ignore Guan Qi Fei. Situ Ming glanced at Guan Qi Fei coldly and said, "Guan Qi Fei, before this matter is settled, you better watch your mouth. You can't slander the Tai Yi Celestial Sect's reputation!"
"Humph!"
Guan Qi Fei scoffed. "I'm just telling the truth. Didn't you say the prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who's capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills is in the shop? Where is he? Why don't you call him out for us to see? "
"Alchemist Duan has already come out. It's just that you're blind and didn't notice him."
Situ Ming sneered.
"Master Duan? He's already out? "
Guan Qi Fei's eyes were filled with disbelief when he heard Situ Ming's words. "You mean she's the prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who's capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill?"
Everyone, including Tan Zheng Ye, turned to look at Huan 'er as well.
This peerless beauty was the prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who was capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills?
"Master Situ is right. You're blind … He's talking about me."
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian who was holding Huan 'er's arm looked at Guan Qi Fei calmly and said indifferently, "Guan Qi Fei, don't worry.
"He's talking about me."
As soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, all eyes that were on Huan 'er immediately shifted to him.
"You?"
Upon hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Guan Qi Fei turned to look at Duan Lingtian. His expression darkened as he scoffed. "Brat, I've already probed you with my Divine Consciousness as soon as you came out. Your aura has long since betrayed the fact that you're not even 100 years old!"
"A brat who's not even 100 years old dares to claim you're a prominent Celestial Alchemist? Moreover, you're a prominent Celestial Alchemist who's capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills? Are you still dreaming? "
Guan Qi Fei looked at Duan Ling Tian with disdain when he reached the end of his sentence.
"Not even 100 years old?"
"He's really not even 100 years old!"
…
As soon as Guan Qi Fei finished speaking, many people extended their Divine Consciousness to check Duan Lingtian.
Soon enough, they were certain of one thing.
The purple-clad young man who was standing next to the peerless beauty was indeed not even 100 years old!
"What a joke! He's not even 100 years old, but he dares to claim he's a prominent Celestial Alchemist who's capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills? Is he crazy? "
"That's right! If he's not even 100 years old and is lucky, he might be able to obtain a prominent Celestial Fire … However, possessing a prominent Celestial Fire doesn't mean he's a prominent Celestial Alchemist. He has to master the pill refining technique of a prominent Celestial Alchemist to be able to refine prominent Celestial Pills! "
"Even if he possesses a prominent Celestial Fire, it's still extremely difficult for a person who's not even 100 years old to become a prominent Celestial Alchemist. However, he dares to claim he's a prominent Celestial Alchemist who's capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills?"
In order to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill, one must possess a pill formula, a prominent Celestial Fire, and a prominent Celestial Alchemist's refining technique. Even a prominent Celestial Alchemist with a prominent Celestial Fire would find it difficult to refine ordinary prominent Celestial Pills, let alone the Overarching Heaven Pill. "
"What a fool! What a fool! "
"I really don't understand … Why would such a peerless beauty fall for someone who's full of nonsense?"
"He's like a flower stuck in a pile of cow dung!"
…
When Huan 'er appeared holding Duan Lingtian's hand, most of the men present on the scene could see the affection in Huan' er's eyes when she looked at Duan Lingtian. It was obvious she already had someone in her heart.
Naturally, it belonged to Duan Lingtian who was standing next to Huan 'er.
At that time, the group of people was filled with envy and jealousy toward Duan Ling Tian.
Now that Guan Qi Fei's words had stirred up their anger, they began to discuss among themselves.
Based on their words, it was clear they were treating Duan Lingtian as a fool.
"Little brother, you should be careful with your words."
At this moment, Tan Zheng Ye looked at Duan Lingtian and said in a deep voice, "Do you know that since you've said that, we'll treat you as the prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect who's capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills?
If you fail to refine Overarching Heaven Pills, the major Celestial Sects in the Six Southeastern Regions won't let you off easily! "
A hint of threat could be heard in Tan Zheng Ye's voice when he spoke.
"What? Vice Sect Leader Tan, you don't believe I'm the prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? "
Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes and asked with a faint smile on his face.
"I'm afraid no one here thinks you're the prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills, right?"
Tan Zheng Ye said.
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing Tan Zheng Ye's words, Duan Lingtian smiled. Then, he looked at Huan 'er and asked, "Huan' er, tell Vice Sect Leader Tan … Do you believe I'm the prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills?"
"Brother Ling Tian, it's just a piece of cake for you to refine Overarching Heaven Pills," Huan 'er replied with a smile.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Her eyes had never left Duan Ling Tian since the moment she came out of the room.
Even when the gazes of the surrounding people frequently landed on her, it did not cause her gaze to move in the slightest. It was as if in her world, other than herself, there was only Duan Lingtian. There was no third person.
"Old Ancestor, three masters, do you believe I'm a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill?"
Then, Duan Lingtian asked He Shan, Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhongjing.
"Of course I do."
He Shan nodded.
"I do."
"Of course."
"Yes!"
Situ Ming and the other two also spoke in succession.
As soon as the trio finished speaking, Duan Lingtian turned to look at Tan Zheng Ye and said with a faint smile on his face, "Vice Sect Leader Tan, you said no one here thinks I'm a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills … What do you think?"
"I …"
When Duan Lingtian asked the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Tan Zheng Ye was rendered speechless. Now that he heard Duan Lingtian's words, he was rendered speechless as well.
He did not expect Duan Lingtian to be so shameless.
He did not expect the purple-clad young man who was not even 100 years old to be so shameless!
Would the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect betray him if he had asked them?
Most likely, they would protect him.
"Humph!"
Cheng Da Gang, the second disciple of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, scoffed as he glared at Duan Lingtian. "Brat, it's only natural that the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect will protect you …"
"My master was just making a slip of the tongue earlier.
What he meant was, apart from the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, I'm afraid no one here thinks you're a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills! "
When Cheng Da Gang reached the end of his sentence, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with contempt.
"Huan 'er."
As soon as Cheng Da Gang finished speaking, Duan Lingtian sensed a majestic Celestial Origin Energy from Huan 'er's hand that was holding his.
He patted Huan 'er's hand lightly and said through Voice Transmission, "I don't care about what they say, so why should you?"
Earlier, when the group of people mocked him, Huan 'er had wanted to make a move, but he had stopped her in time.
Now that Huan 'er wanted to make a move again, he had to stop her.
He was not worried Huan 'er would be at a disadvantage if she made a move.
With He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, there was no way anyone would be able to hurt Huan 'er.
However, he did not think it was necessary.
