For Duan Ling Tian, delaying the time to heat the cauldron to eleven hours was an extremely intense torment. It was to the extent that this process could cause one to break down!
It was similar to how a person on earth who owned a top sports car could only drive at a speed of 10 km/h for eleven hours on an unobstructed track.
For eleven hours, on a smooth and unobstructed track, the top-notch sports car only managed to run 110 kilometers.
Any normal person would go crazy!
After eleven hours, Duan Lingtian who had successfully heated the cauldron felt as though he had been given a new lease on life.
'Let's go all out!'
Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after he finished heating the cauldron and heaved a sigh of relief. A gleam flashed across his eyes.
It was precisely because of this that Duan Ling Tian did not use his full strength in the subsequent steps of the pill refinement. He held back most of his strength.
"What a clumsy alchemy technique!"
"He wants to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill with this level of skill? Is he joking? "
…
As the saying went, 'The layman only enjoys the show while the expert appreciates the skill.' When the group of mediocre Celestial Alchemists brought by Guan Qi Fei saw Duan Lingtian's skill, they shook their heads in disbelief.
Many mediocre Celestial Alchemists thought Duan Lingtian was inferior to Duan Lingtian.
In fact, they thought Duan Lingtian's alchemy skill was inferior to theirs.
"How can he be the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect with this level of skill?"
A mediocre Celestial Alchemist standing behind Guan Qi Fei said disdainfully.
"Do you really think he's the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? His alchemy skill is far inferior to the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Even if the Tai Yi Celestial Sect wants to select a Chief Celestial Alchemist, he won't be able to do it. "
"That's right! The Chief Celestial Alchemist is just a gimmick created by the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Their goal is to mislead us into thinking that the Tai Yi Celestial Sect has someone who can refine the Overarching Heaven Pill. "
"I'd like to see how the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is going to deal with this."
…
The group of Celestial Alchemists behind Guan Qi Fei were whispering among themselves. Their voices were loud and clear even though the surroundings were quiet.
Immediately, everyone knew that Duan Lingtian's pill refining speed was not only pathetically slow in heating the cauldron, but also in the following steps.
He's only at the level of a mediocre Celestial Alchemist! "
"His pill refining skills are so lousy, but he managed to obtain a prominent Celestial Fire … Isn't his luck a little too good?"
…
There was no lack of Celestial Alchemists among the onlookers. When they looked at Duan Lingtian again, their eyes were filled with envy.
It was not difficult for these Celestial Alchemists to figure out what Duan Lingtian was capable of.
Duan Lingtian's alchemy skills were only at the level of a mediocre Celestial Alchemist, let alone a prominent Celestial Alchemist!
On the other hand, the people from the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect felt relieved when they saw Duan Lingtian's alchemy skills.
"Three Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities … Sect Leader Xiao, it seems like our trip to Alchemy City is going well."
Lian Cheng Yi, the Sect Leader of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect, said with a smile as he looked at Xiao Teng, the Sect Leader of the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect.
"Indeed, it's going well."
Xiao Teng nodded with a smile. "Let's just take it as a good start. When the Alchemy Conference begins, perhaps the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect will be able to win some other prizes."
During the Alchemy Conference, the competition between Celestial Alchemists was mostly based on bets.
Small bets included ordinary pill formulas, small amounts of Celestial Crystals, low-grade cultivation methods, Celestial Methods, and Divine Abilities.
Large bets included large amounts of Celestial Crystals, high-grade cultivation methods, Celestial Methods, Divine Abilities, and rare pill formulas.
In fact, some sects would even bet their King Grade Celestial Weapons.
Those sects who were bold enough to bet their King Grade Celestial Weapons were usually powerful and had a strong foundation.
The Tai Yi Celestial Sect, on the other hand, only dared to use their King Grade Celestial Weapons as a wager. They did not dare to use their King Grade Celestial Weapons as a wager.
After all, even if they won, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect might not be able to keep their King Grade Celestial Weapons.
Although the Tai Yi Celestial Sect might have some older generation powerhouses hiding in the Six Southeastern Regions to protect the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, they would only do so when the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was in danger.
However, these older generation powerhouses would only appear when the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was on the brink of destruction. They would not interfere when the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was robbed of their King Grade Celestial Weapons.
For this reason, although the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had brought out a King Grade Celestial Weapon, he only dared to bet offensive and defensive Celestial Methods, Divine Abilities, and other items. He did not dare to bet King Grade Celestial Weapons.
Even if the Tai Yi Celestial Sect won the bet and obtained the other King Grade Celestial Weapon temporarily, they would not be able to keep it.
"A good start?"
Lian Cheng Yi smiled brightly when he heard Xiao Teng's words.
It was as though the three Duke Grade Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were already in the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect's possession.
"Still trying to act tough?"
Lian Cheng Yi looked at He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Situ Ming, and the others. When he saw their calm expressions, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face.
"You're just a lucky brat. How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me, Guan Qi Fei?"
Guan Qi Fei sneered as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
Although Tan Zheng Ye remained silent, a confident smile could be seen on his face.
Time continued to pass.
In just a blink of an eye, a day had passed.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian had reached the final step of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill.
Pill collection!
"Based on his actions, it seems like he'll be collecting the pills in half an hour …"
Meanwhile, the group of Celestial Alchemists outside the Tai Yi Celestial Sect's shop could see that Duan Lingtian was nearing the end of his pill refining.
"His cauldron must be filled with useless medicinal dregs … I'd like to see how he's going to collect the pills!"
Guan Qi Fei's eyes were filled with disdain as the sneer on his face deepened.
Smack!
Without any warning, Duan Ling Tian stretched out his hand and slapped the cauldron, causing it to shake violently.
"He's about to collect the pills!"
"I thought he'd delay for a while. I didn't expect him to collect the pills so quickly."
"Perhaps, he knows there's no point in wasting time … After all, there's no pills in his cauldron. It doesn't matter if he collects the pills now or later."
…
The eyes of the Celestial Alchemists present on the scene lit up when they saw Duan Lingtian's actions.
Usually, even if a prominent Celestial Alchemist was refining pills, many of the powerhouses present on the scene would be able to use their Divine Consciousness to probe the situation inside the cauldron.
However, after Duan Lingtian began to heat his cauldron, even the Sect Leaders of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect were unable to probe the situation inside the cauldron with their Divine Consciousness.
Although they were surprised by this, they were not too surprised.
After all, some prominent Celestial Fires were capable of preventing Divine Consciousness from probing the cauldron. They could even block the Divine Consciousness of a Celestial King, let alone a Celestial Duke.
It did not mean these prominent Celestial Fires were extremely powerful. Perhaps, these Celestial Fires just happened to have the property of preventing Divine Consciousness from probing the cauldron.
Celestial Fires were born from heaven and earth. Even the most powerful Celestial would not be able to resist them.
Some Celestial Fires had the property of preventing Divine Consciousness from probing the cauldron.
For this reason, the Sect Leaders of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect, and even those who were unable to probe the cauldron with their Divine Consciousness had no choice but to wait patiently for Duan Lingtian to complete the last step of refining pills.
After all, they were unable to probe the process with their Divine Consciousness.
Just when everyone thought there were no medicinal pills in Duan Ling Tian's cauldron.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, three streaks of black light shot out of the Pill Cauldron as though they had transformed into three bolts of black lightning. In just a blink of an eye, they entered Duan Ling Tian's hand.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the next moment, the sound of wind whistling rang in everyone's ears.
They saw the sound traveling at the speed of light.
They heard the sound traveling at the speed of sound.
The speed of light was faster than the speed of sound. For this reason, everyone only saw the three pills shooting out of the cauldron before they heard the sound of the pills leaving the cauldron.
In the next moment, the entire place fell silent.
After a few moments …
"Three Overarching Heaven Pills?"
"H-how's this possible?!"
"H-he's joking, right?!"
…
Outside the Tai Yi Celestial Sect's shop, everyone regained their senses. They turned to look at Duan Lingtian and the three pills in Duan Lingtian's hand. Their expressions changed again as though they had seen a ghost.
Did he really manage to refine the pills?
"Are those really Overarching Heaven Pills? The top prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill? "
"H-how's this possible? How can he refine the Overarching Heaven Pills? "
"Don't tell me the medicinal herbs he used earlier are for refining other pills? The pills in his hand are mediocre Celestial Pills? "
"Impossible! The medicinal herbs he used earlier are required to refine the Overarching Heaven Pills … Moreover, based on the aura of the pills in his hand, I'm certain they're prominent Celestial Pills! "
"I've probed with my Divine Consciousness … There are indeed three Overarching Heaven Pills!"
…
Some of the Celestial Alchemists voiced their doubts after they regained their senses. However, these doubts were quickly denied by the Celestial Alchemists present on the scene.
Moreover, some of the Celestial Alchemists present on the scene with their Divine Consciousness had confirmed the pills in Duan Lingtian's hand were prominent Celestial Pills, the Overarching Heaven Pills!
"No … No … Impossible! Impossible! "
Guan Qi Fei's face was pale. He was so shocked that he took a few steps back. However, his eyes and face were still filled with disbelief.
