Chapter 2856: Box Acquired

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He Shan, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, was of the opinion that the old man’s quaint box was not even worth a single-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability. However, since Duan Ling Tian seemed eager and determined to obtain the box, he did not have the heart to refuse Duan Ling Tian. Since Duan Ling Tian had won a double-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability previously, there was no doubt Duan Ling Tian would continue to win precious Celestial Methods and Divine Abilities during the Alchemy Conference as well, contributing to the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. With Duan Ling Tian’s massive contribution to the sect, He Shan would not object to trading a single-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability for the old box.

“Thank you, Old Ancestor,” Duan Ling Tian smiled widely as he waited for He Shan’s approval. He knew He Shan would not refuse him. Although he had the double-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability that he had won from the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect, he could not trade them for the box since he had not memorized the content from the Memory Celestial Talismans or mastered them yet. Since the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had copies of their one Duke Grade Celestial Method and two Duke Grade Divine Abilities, it would not affect the sect at all to trade them for the box.

The onlookers were baffled when they saw how eager Duan Ling Tian was to obtain the box. He even insisted on trading for the box even after the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect explained that the box was worthless. They wondered what was going through Duan Ling Tian’s mind? Did he go crazy? All of them looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was a fool.

“Does Master Duan know what he’s doing?”

“A Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability in exchange for the box? How’s it worth it?”

“Even the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect has said the box is worthless, and yet, he still insists on obtaining the box! Imbecile!”

“Does he really believe the old man and thinks that the box came from a Little World left behind by a Celestial Lord?”

“Master Duan…” Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing opened their mouths to try and dissuade Duan Ling Tian. However, they fell silent immediately when Duan Ling Tian turned around to look at them. It was the first time they had seen Duan Ling Tian with such a solemn expression. With this, they knew they had no chance of dissuading him at all.

On the other hand, Huan’er only stood silently next to Duan Ling Tian. In her opinion, it did not matter if everyone questioned Duan Ling Tian’s judgment. She had full confidence in Duan Ling Tian. Even if Duan Ling Tian asked her to trade her Duke Grade Celestial Method or Divine Ability for the box, she would not hesitate at all. She would do anything as long as it made him happy.

“Master Duan… You’re not joking, right?” the old man asked tentatively as he looked at Duan Ling Tian. He was afraid Duan Ling Tian was just trying to pull his leg.

“I’m not joking,” Duan Ling Tian replied without beating around the bush, “The Tai Yi Celestial Sect has one Duke Grade Celestial Method and two Duke Grade Divine Abilities. The Celestial Method is a movement type, and the Divine Abilities are assistive type and offensive type respectively. Pick one.”

“Master Duan… Y-you’re really serious” The old man felt as though he was dreaming. Who could blame him? The Chief Celestial Alchemist from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect said he wanted the box that even the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had deemed worthless. It sounded too good to be true.

Duan Ling Tian became slightly impatient after being repeatedly questioned by the old man. He said with a frown on his face, “I’m serious. I don’t have time to joke with you. Are you going to trade or not? It’s fine if you don’t. I’m just curious why the box can’t even be opened by a Ten Direction Celestial Duke, that’s all.”

When the old man realized Duan Ling Tian was serious and was getting impatient, he hastily said, “Yes, yes, of course! Let’s trade! Master Duan, I want the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s assistive Duke Grade Divine Ability!” He looked at Duan Ling Tian nervously as though Duan Ling Tian might renege on the deal.

After the old man stated his request, Duan Ling Tian looked at He Shan and said, “Old Ancestor, I don’t have the Memory Celestial Talisman for the assistive Duke Grade Divine Ability with me… Do you have it with you?”

Before coming to Alchemy City, Duan Ling Tian had only asked for the Memory Celestial Talismans for the Duke Grade Celestial Method and the offensive Duke Grade Divine Ability from Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. He did not ask for the assistive Duke Grade Divine Ability since he had no use for it. After all, he already possessed the heaven-grade Elementary Devouring Tactic that was equally as powerful as any assistive Duke Grade Divine Ability. If he had comprehended the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s assistive Duke Grade Divine Ability, who knew if by the time he had mastered it, he would have already obtained an assistive King Grade Divine Ability?

“Yes, I have it.” He Shan nodded and passed a Memory Celestial Talisman to Duan Ling Tian.

After Duan Ling Tian took the Memory Celestial Talisman, he did not even look at it before he handed it over to the old man. “Go ahead and check it… If everything is fine, you can hand the box over to me.”

“I trust you and Senior He Shan!” the old man said before handing the box over to Duan Ling Tian. He cradled the Memory Celestial Talisman as though it was a precious gem before he began to look at the content of the Memory Celestial Talisman. “This… this assistive Duke Grade Divine Ability… Thank you, Master Duan! Thank you, Senior He Shan!” the old man repeatedly thanked them before he finally left.

However, as soon as the old man left, a few people were quick to follow after him. Needless to say, they were after the assistive Duke Grade Divine Ability.

Duan Ling Tian was aware of this. He cocked an eyebrow as he thought to himself, ‘The old man must have his own ways to protect himself since he dared to publicly trade with me. Even if he’s incapable of protecting it, it’s his luck!’ After experiencing two lifetimes, Duan Ling Tian was already numb to all the killing and robbing in the world. Even if he helped the old man, it would not change the nature of the world at all.

At this moment, He Shan looked at Duan Ling Tian and said, “Master Duan, the Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect wants to meet us. He just greeted me through Voice Transmission. Let’s go over there.” He was not bothered about the box that Duan Ling Tian just obtained. After all, after investigating it, he was certain it was worthless. In his opinion, Duan Ling Tian only wanted the box out of curiosity. Although it was a willful act, even if he had to exchange a Duke Grade Celestial Method and two Duke Grade Divine Abilities for the box, he would still do it to appease Duan Ling Tian. After all, Duan Ling Tian was far more valuable than the single trait Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Abilities.

“Alright,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

With Huan’er, Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing, the five of them kept up with He Shan.

The onlookers began to disperse as well, but they did not stop discussing among themselves.

“I don’t understand. Why did the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect not stop him and let him have his way?”

“Exactly! He’d already said the box is worthless, and yet, he indulged that prominent Celestial Alchemist!”

“What’s so surprising about that? Don’t forget, Master Duan is a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pill even though he’s not even 100 years old! It’s nothing to sacrifice a single-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability to please someone like Master Duan.”

“That’s right. Half a month ago, Master Duan had won a double-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method and a double-trait Duke Grade Divine Ability from the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect… If the Tai Yi Celestial Sect slights him, do you think they’ll be able to obtain the double-trait Duke Grade Celestial Method and Divine Ability?”
