2734 Zhou Shu Qiu
The difficulty of refining the Great Overarching Pill and the Overarching Heaven Pill was similar. However, the Overarching Heaven Pill was far more valuable than the Great Overarching Heaven Pill due to several reasons. Only a prominent Celestial Alchemist was able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill, a prominent Celestial Pill. There were far fewer prominent Celestial Alchemists compared to diocre Celestial Alchemists. Apart from that, the formula for the Overarching Heaven Pill was not as known compared to the formula for the Great Overarching Pill. The Great Overarching Pills were not as rare, even forces from an interdiate-rank Celestial Kingdom would have a few of them.
Previously, when Duan Ling Tian was still in the Cloudy Rock Celestial Kingdom, King Qin’s Mansion could easily provide six Great Overarching Pills as rewards for the top three counties participating in the Martial Competition of the 16 Counties. However, even the Imperial family of a high-rank Celestial Kingdom would find difficulties in obtaining Overarching Heaven Pills. Even the Three Major Celestial Sects of the Wasteland that were far powerful and ruled over high-rank Celestial Kingdoms only possessed limited numbers of Overarching Heaven Pills.
The Overarching Heaven Pills were rare and highly valuable not only because of the stringent requirents that prominent Celestial Alchemists would have to et, but it was also because only a few prominent Celestial Alchemists possessed the formula for the pill. Naturally, most of these prominent Celestial Alchemists would guard the formula like a secret. How could Duan Ling Tian not be shocked that Long Fei Yun was willing to impart the pill’s formula to him? It was too precious after all. Even the Three Major Sects of the Wasteland would love to get their hands on the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula.
“Y-you have the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula?” Duan Ling Tian asked.
Long Fei Yun nodded his head and said, “Yes.”
Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes and lightly asked, “Since you have the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula, why is there a need for you to make a deal with ? You can directly approach the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect with the formula and ask them to help you ascend the throne.”
“I’ve thought about that,” Long Fei Yun heaved a long sigh before he said, “However, do you think I’d still be alive if the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect knows I possess the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula? To them, killing is much easier than helping to ascend to the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.” He knew this very well, therefore, he could only dismiss the idea of using the formula in exchange for help from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect to ascend the throne. Naturally, only those with high ranks in the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect would be able to help him ascend the throne. However, they were all extrely powerful. He was just like an ant in front of these people. How was it possible for him to make a deal with these people?
“Thirteenth Prince, are you sure you trust ? Aren’t you afraid of fleeing after obtaining the earth-rank cultivation thod and the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula?” Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at Long Fei Yun.
Long Fei Yun t Duan Ling Tian’s gaze without flinching as he shook his head. “You won’t. Although this is the first ti we et, I can tell you’re not the kind of person who would renege on a deal. I, Long Fei Yun, have lived for a few hundred years, my judgnt is quite accurate. Even if I misjudged you, I’ll accept it. It’s a risk I have to take.” Compared to approaching the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect with the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula, it was wiser for him to make a deal with Duan Ling Tian even if there was a small chance that Duan Ling Tian might renege on the deal. Moreover, although he had just t Duan Ling Tian, his instinct told him that Duan Ling Tian was not the kind of person who would go back on his words. Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were clear, and he had a righteous and extraordinary air about him.
“How decisive and bold!” Duan Ling Tian could not help but praise. A hint of admiration could be seen in his eyes when he looked at Long Fei Yun. After all, not many people would have such courage. He understood now how Long Fei Yun was able to co so far even though he was not favored and had no support.
“I’m not bold, I’m just taking a gamble. Moreover, neither I nor Qiu Ling are able to use nor morize the formula of the Overarching Heaven Pill formula that’s recorded in this mory Celestial Talisman.” As Long Fei Yun spoke, a mory Celestial Talisman suddenly appeared in his hand.
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were imdiately drawn to the mory Celestial Talisman that was in Long Yun Fei’s hand. His breathing quickened. “The Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula... is in this talisman?”
Although Duan Ling Tian was only a primitive Celestial Alchemist now, it did not lessen his desire to obtain the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula that Long Yun Fei possessed. Most prominent Celestial Alchemists could only dream of obtaining the formula. It was only natural that Long Fei Yun and the heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supre Celestial had no use for the formula and could not morize it, they were not Celestial Alchemists after all.
“Yes.” Long Yun Fei nodded. At the sa ti, another mory Celestial Talisman appeared next to the mory Celestial Talisman that contained the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula. “This mory Celestial Talisman contains the earth-rank cultivation thod, the Heavenly Firmant Technique.” Then, he asked, “So, Brother Duan, are you willing to make a deal with ?”
Duan Ling Tian smiled wryly. “Since the Thirteenth Prince is sincere and believes in , how can I refuse?”
Although Duan Ling Tian could easily obtain an earth-rank cultivation thod after joining the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect, it was still too far off in the future. At the very least, he needed to wait for a year to participate in the Martial Competition of the Wasteland before he could join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. If the deal proposed by Long Fei Yun only included an earth-rank cultivation thod, he might think twice. However, since there was an Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula involved, he did not think twice to agree to the deal.
Long Fei Yun laughed before he said, “You’re really straightforward, Brother Duan!” Initially, he was not certain if Duan Ling Tian would accept the deal. Now that Duan Ling Tian finally agreed to it, the grave expression on his face lted away and was replaced with a delighted expression. He handed the two mory Celestial Talismans to Duan Ling Tian.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian received the two mory Celestial Talismans that contained the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula and the earth-rank cultivation thod, the Heavenly Firmant Technique, he activated them and committed the information to his mory. With ti, he would be able to master them.
“Brother Duan... Y-you used the mory Celestial Talisman with the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula? A-are you a prominent Celestial Alchemist?” Long Fei Yun asked in shock. He assud Duan Ling Tian would save the mory Celestial Talisman with the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula for later use. After all, once Duan Ling Tian had used it, if he did not commit every word to mory, he would no longer be able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill in the future.
“I’m only a diocre Celestial Alchemist, not a prominent Celestial Alchemist yet,” Duan Ling Tian replied as he shook his head.
“It seems like you’re confident about becoming a prominent Celestial Alchemist in the future. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have used the mory Celestial Talisman containing the Overarching Heaven Pill’s formula so quickly,” Long Fei Yun said. Initially, his hopes had soared even higher when he thought Duan Ling Tian was a prominent Celestial Alchemist. After all, if Duan Ling Tian was a prominent Celestial Alchemist, it would be easy for Duan Ling Tian to join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. Duan Ling Tian did not even need to participate in the Martial Competition of the Wasteland. Moreover, with the status of a prominent Celestial Alchemist, Duan Ling Tian could easily beco a Revered Elder of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect. At that ti, Duan Ling Tian could easily speak to the Sect Leader of the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect to help him ascend the throne of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. He felt a thrill just from imagining the expression on his father’s place if his father was forced to abdicate. For this reason, he could not help feeling disappointed when he discovered Duan Ling Tian was not a prominent Celestial Alchemist.
After a while, Long Fei Yun seed to recall sothing, and he said solemnly, “Brother Duan, you should check-out of the Fleeting Ti Inn after this. You and your companion can stay in my residence in the Imperial palace.”
“Hm?” Duan Ling Tian felt skeptical about Long Yun Fei’s sudden invitation to stay in his residence. However, he did not think Long Fei Yun would harm him. There might be a small possibility of Long Fei Yun harming him before Long Fei Yun handed the two mory Celestial Talismans over. However, after giving him the mory Celestial Talismans, not to ntion that he had also used the two mory Celestial Talismans, it would be a waste for Long Fei Yun to try and harm him.
Seeing the skeptical expression on Duan Ling Tian’s face, Long Fei Yun solemnly said, “There’s no need to worry about the fourth miss of the Zhou clan. After all, even my fourth brother doesn’t dare to look for trouble with you now. However, there’s one person who could potentially be a threat to you. This person is Zhou Shu Qiu, the last disciple of the forr Sect Leader of the Thousand Spiders Sect and the junior sister of the current sect leader.”
