In the Devata Realms, an Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial, excluding peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, could raise his or her cultivation base once with Profound Golden Pills. On the other hand, a Great Overarching Golden Celestial could use Evolving Golden Pills to raise his or her cultivation base. As for ordinary Golden Celestials, they could raise their cultivation bases with Golden Gilded Pills.

Earlier today, Duan Ling Tian had left the Imperial Palace after he had successfully stabilized his cultivation base that was of a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. It took him the entire night to stabilize his foundation. When morning dawned, he left the palace with Liu Guang Lin and went to a restaurant. That was where he had run into Huang Jia Long.

Now that Duan Ling Tian had successfully stabilized his cultivation base after becoming a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, he, naturally, could not wait to become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. With another breakthrough, he would be strong enough to survive the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm that would open in half a year. After all, rumors had it that the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm was fraught with danger. Out of ten people who entered that place, it was likely that not even half would be able to leave alive.

‘Celestial Dukes and those who are stronger can’t enter the lower realm of the Southern Heavenly Ancient Realm… Moreover, it’s said that if a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial has a breakthrough and becomes a One Basic Celestial Duke after entering the realm, he or she would be sent out immediately. This means I won’t be able to use my consumable Royal Grade Celestial Weapon if I want to continue staying in there.’ For this reason, Duan Ling Tian decided to rely on the Profound Golden Pill to improve his cultivation base before he had to enter the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.

It was likely that not even one in 10,000 prominent Celestial Alchemists was able to refine the Profound Golden Pill. However, Duan Ling Tian was 70% certain he would be able to successfully refine the pill since he was confident in his ability as a prominent Celestial Alchemist and the third-form Profound Divine Metal.

Previously, thanks to the memory of the Rebirth Martial Emperor that the Profound Divine Metal used to help him, his talent and knowledge in alchemy had improved greatly. Currently, even an ordinary supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist might not be as skilled as him. In the past, he had even bested a supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemist from the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect during the Alchemy Conference held in the Six Southeastern Regions.

In the middle of the night.

Duan Ling Tian sat quietly in his room. A pill cauldron sat in front of him. It was the prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron that he had been using to refine pills all this while.

“I haven’t been refining pills for quite a while now so my skills are a little rusty…” Duan Ling Tian had to familiarize himself with refining pills again since it had been a long time since he last refined pills. It was normal for one’s skill to deteriorate without enough practice, after all. However, with Duan Ling Tian’s talent and knowledge, it only took him a few hours to become proficient again.

At this moment, Liu Guang Lin who had just returned from running errands for Duan Ling Tian called out, “My lord, many of the larger medicinal stores are closed… So, I only managed to buy a few medicinal herbs. I will return to check the larger stores tomorrow.” Since it was late when he had gone out, he did not manage to buy most of the medicinal herbs in the list even though he had looked everywhere in the capital of the Supporting Fall Nation.

The next day, Liu Guang Lin went out again and did not return until dark.

“My lord, there are two medicinal herbs that I couldn’t find. They’re the Profound Spirit Flower and the Golden Nematode.”

Liu Guang Lin handed the medicinal herbs he managed to buy to Duan Ling Tian before he continued to say, “The person in charge of the large medicinal stores said that the Profound Spirit Flower and Golden Nematode are very rare medicinal herbs and even the Imperial family might not have them.”

“Alright.” Duan Ling Tian nodded; this was within his expectations.

“My lord, these medicinal herbs you bought… They seem to be ingredients for the Profound Golden Pill?” Initially, Liu Guang Lin did not know for what purpose Duan Ling Tian wanted the medicinal herbs. He was not a Celestial Alchemist and was not familiar with medicinal herbs, after all. However, while he was shopping for medicinal herbs today, various shopkeepers had asked him if he was going to refine the Profound Golden Pill when he enquired about the Profound Spirit Flower and the Golden Nematode. Nevertheless, he knew what the Profound Golden Pill was. He knew it was a prominent Celestial Pill that would help a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial to become a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial immediately. The pill was also widely regarded as one of the best prominent Celestial Pills. He knew the pill was held in such regard not only because of its miraculous medicinal effect but also due to its rarity and the difficult refinement process.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“My lord, although I am not a Celestial Alchemist, I’ve also heard of the Profound Golden Pill… The Profound Golden Pill is said to be the most difficult prominent Celestial Pill to refine. Not even one in 10,000 prominent Celestial Alchemists or 100 supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemists is able to refine it.” Liu Guang Lin’s eyes widened as he looked at Duan Ling Tian and continued to say, “Only supreme Royal Grade Celestial Alchemists can confidently say they have 100% certainty of successfully refining the Profound Golden Pill!”

Soon after, Liu Guang Lin’s eyes lit up as he said in awe, “My lord, you… do you know a supreme Royal Grade Celestial Alchemist who can refine the pills for you?” It was natural that he had reached this conclusion since he assumed Duan Ling Tian was not a Celestial Alchemist but was confident about obtaining the Profound Golden Pill.

To Liu Guang Lin’s confusion, Duan Ling Tian shook his head and said, “No. ” Then, he continued to say, “I plan to refine the pills myself. I forgot to tell you that I’m also a Celestial Alchemist…”

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Liu Guang Lin’s eyes brightened again. Even a hint of fear could be seen in his eyes as he looked at Duan Ling Tian as though he was looking at a monster. “My lord, you… Don’t tell me that you’re a supreme Royal Grade Celestial Alchemist!”

“Of course not,” Duan Ling Tian shrugged and said, “I’m just a prominent Celestial Alchemist.”

“A prominent Celestial Alchemist?” Liu Guang Lin was perplexed. He was truly amazed that not only was Duan Ling Tian extremely strong, but Duan Ling Tian was also a prominent Celestial Alchemist at such a young age. Nevertheless, he still did not think Duan Ling Tian would be capable of successfully refining the Profound Golden Pill. When he regained his senses, he said with a wry smile on his face, “My lord, if you’re a prominent Celestial Alchemist, there’s a high chance you’ll fail to refine the Profound Golden Pill even if you manage to gather all the herbs. Why don’t you go to the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation and ask if he knows of any supreme Royal Grade Celestial Alchemist?”

In alchemy, talent, knowledge, and skills were not everything; one had to have sufficient experience as well. Duan Ling Tian was not even 100 years old. Even if he was extremely talented, how could he possibly refine a pill that 10,000 prominent Celestial Alchemists could not refine?

“There’s no need for that.” Duan Ling Tian shook his head. “Even if I go to the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation for help, I’ll only ask for the Profound Spirit Flower and the Golden Nematode.”

The Profound Spirit Flower and Golden Nematode were both very rare medicinal herbs, and they were also the two of the main ingredients to refine the Profound Golden Pill. The name of the pill was derived from the names of the two medicinal herbs.

A plan appeared in Duan Ling Tian’s mind as he mused inwardly, ‘Tomorrow, I’ll ask for an audience with the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation and see if he has the Profound Spirit Flower and the Golden Nematodes… If he’s unwilling to give them to me, I’ll offer to buy it with Celestial Stones.’ Despite his thoughts, he was rather certain the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation would not refuse him if the emperor truly owned the two herbs. Naturally, there was a small chance that the emperor would only give him the two herbs in exchange for Celestial Stones.

“So you’re going to personally refine it, my lord?” Liu Guang Lin felt that Duan Ling Tian would fail to refine the Profound Golden Pill and waste the medicinal herbs, however, he remained silent when he saw how resolute Duan Ling Tian was. A crazy thought suddenly appeared in his mind. ‘Perhaps, master is really able to refine the pills?’

Early in the morning the next day.

Duan Ling Tian left his room and sat in the courtyard for a while before he finally went to look for the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation.

Coincidentally, as soon as Duan Ling Tian arrived outside the palace where Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, lived, he saw Hu Lin Yi walking out with four eunuchs surrounding him.

“Your Majesty.” Duan Ling Tian greeted Hu Lin Yi and cupped his fists together at him.

“Duan Ling Tian?” Hu Lin Yi was slightly surprised to see Duan Ling Tian. “Are you here to see me?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“What’s the matter?” Hu Lin Yi asked with a smile. He was betting on Duan Ling Tian to bring him many benefits so he was, naturally, friendly toward Duan Ling Tian.

“Your Majesty, I have a question… Are there any Profound Spirit Flowers and Golden Nematode in the palace? If you have them, I’m willing to buy them from you with Celestial Stones,” Duan Ling Tian replied without beating around the bush.

“The Profound Spirit Flower? The Golden Nematode?” Hu Lin Yi’s eyes flashed. “If I’m not mistaken, these two herbs are the main ingredients to refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Profound Golden Pill, right?”

“That’s right,” Duan Ling Tian replied honestly and nodded. He used the Profound Divine Metal to hide what needed to be hidden before revealing his true cultivation base to Hu Lin Yi. “I plan to take the Profound Golden Pill in order to break through and become a peak Overarching Heaven Supreme Celestial before entering the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm Realm… With this, I’ll stand out more in front of the Three Sects and Two Clans and get the recognition that I deserve.” His every word was calculated to move Hu Lin Yi.

“You…You… Y-you’re just a… Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial?!” Hu Lin Yi’s eyes widened in shock when he discovered Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was that of a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. It was as though he had seen a ghost. Duan Ling Tian was just a Heaven Stage Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, and yet, Duan Ling Tian was far stronger than his fourth son! If Duan Ling Tian broke through and became a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial, how insanely powerful would he become at that time?!
