The people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect reacted immediately when they heard the green-clad middle-aged man’s words. “The troublemakers are here!”


Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing were the first to step forward.


Situ Ming was furious. He coldly asked, “Who is it? How dare you act so brazenly in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop?”


The green-clad middle-aged man with a pockmarked face calmly looked at Situ Ming who was clearly angry. “Situ Ming, do you not recognize me?”


Situ Ming’s anger seemed to vanish instantly when he had gotten a good look at the green-clad middle-aged man. His expression turned indifferent as he said with slight derision, “I was wondering who could it be… As it turns out, it’s someone I defeated thirty years ago.”


The green-clad middle-aged man was clearly angered by Situ Ming’s words. He said irritably, “Situ Ming, my defeat to you thirty years ago is only due to a momentary slip. There’s no reason for you to feel proud. During the upcoming Alchemy Conference, I’ll definitely defeat you and let everyone know that you’re inferior to me, Guan Qi Fei!”


Meanwhile, in the shop, the Old Ancestor of Tai Yi Celestial Sect was sitting at a wooden table. Duan Ling Tian and Huan’er sat opposite him. He c.o.c.ked an eyebrow and said, “Guan Qi Fei? So it’s him…”


“Who’s he?” Duan Ling Tian asked curiously.


“He’s a prominent Celestial Alchemist from the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect that’s in the Shadow Region. The Supporting Sun Celestial Sect is one of the four top sects in the Shadow Region… The sect leader told me Guan Qi Fei and Master Situ had competed in the Alchemy Conference thirty years ago. Guan Qi Fei was eventually defeated by Master Situ due to a slight error. His mistake cost him a medicinal formula. I’ve not seen him prior to today,” the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect replied as he calmly watched the proceeding outside.


Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. “So this Guan Qi Fei came with ill intentions..”


The Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect continued to say, “Speaking of, 100 years ago, there was a huge conflict between the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and our sect… For this reason, there’s still animosity between the sects up to this day. Guan Qi Fei came with his men today because he knows the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect won’t let him suffer losses in front of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s people.”


Duan Ling Tian looked at the green-clad figure in amus.e.m.e.nt. It was as though he was looking at a circus clown who was performing. “I was just wondering why a mere Celestial Alchemist like him dares to look for trouble. As it turns out, he has the support of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect.”


At this moment, Situ Ming replied tauntingly to Guan Qi Fei’s provocation, “Do you think I, Situ Ming, am afraid of you? I’m only waiting to defeat you during the Alchemy Conference!” Then, he coldly said, “Now take your men and leave! Stop disrupting our business!”


“Situ Ming, I’m not here to challenge you today… I will settle the score with you during the Alchemy Conference. I’m here today to represent the top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions to order the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to cease selling the prominent Celestial Pills, the Overarching Heaven Pills! You have no right to sell the Overarching Heaven Pills in Alchemy City since they aren’t refined by the Celestial Alchemists in your sect!” Guan Qi Fei said with a scoff. Then, he turned to the other leader of the group who had also come to the shop and asked, “If I’m not mistaken, Vice Sect Leader Tan came here for this matter as well, right?”


The other group only consisted of three people. The leader was an old man with a goatee who looked like a Taoist priest. He was dressed in what seemed to be like a priest’s robe and held a whisk in his hand. One young man and one young woman stood behind him.


The Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect said to Duan Ling Tian. “This old Taoist priest is Tan Zheng Ye. He’s the Vice Sect Leader of the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect from the Light Region. He’s the fourth strongest person in his sect after the sect leader and the two Supreme Elders. He’s a Seven Stars Celestial Duke.”


“The Vice Sect Leader of Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect from the Light Region?” Duan Ling Tian c.o.c.ked an eyebrow and asked, “Old Ancestor, do we have a conflict with the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect as well?”


“No,” the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect shook his head. “The Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect usually don’t meddle in each other’s affairs. Tan Zheng Ye is probably here to investigate the matter of us selling prominent Celestial Pills, the Overarching Heaven Pills.”


Duan Ling Tian nodded.


Meanwhile, outside the shop, Tan Zheng Ye nodded and replied to Guan Qi Fei, “You’re right.” Then, he looked at Situ Ming and said with a smile, ” Master Situ, as far as I know, there are only three prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and none of you are able to refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill. Is it possible that some time during the past thirty years, a skilled prominent Celestial Alchemist who’s capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills has joined the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?” His words were more mocking than curious. He had met the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect a few times, and he was certain the three prominent Celestial Alchemist would not be able to refine the Overarching Heaven Pills with their Celestial Fires even if they possessed the pill’s formula. One could only successfully refine the pills if one had the pill’s formula and a high-grade Celestial Fire and were skilled in pill-refining techniques! He did not think it was possible for any of the three prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to obtain a higher grade Celestial Fire. It would be impossible for them to subdue and claim a higher-grade Celestial Fire due to their existing inferior Celestial Fires. In the past, there were a few prominent Celestial Alchemists who tried to replace their Celestial Fires with a higher grade Celestial Fire. However, all of them died in the process because they failed to subdue and claim the higher grade Celestial Fire and caused it to detonate. The force of the explosion was so powerful that it could even kill a Ten Directions Celestial Duke who was in range. Only prominent Celestial Alchemists who were Celestial Kings or stronger would be able to survive the explosion. Moreover, in the history of the Six Southeastern Regions, a supreme Celestial Fire was a rare find in the past 10,000 years. If anyone obtained a supreme Celestial Fire, word of it would spread like a wildfire through the Six Southeastern Regions. How could the birth of a supreme Celestial Alchemist not cause an uproar in the Six Southeastern Regions? For this reason, he was very certain the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect did not refine the Overarching Heaven Pills. At most, a new prominent Celestial Alchemist who was capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pills had joined the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. However, would someone like that join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect? Obviously not!


In the Six Southeastern Regions, prominent Celestial Alchemists capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pills were mostly gathered in the General Region, the Cross Region, the Light Region, and the Shadow Region… Since at least 10,000 years ago, there were no prominent Celestial Alchemists in the Wasteland and the Barren Land who were capable of refining the Overarching Heaven Pills. Since these prominent Celestial Alchemists were highly revered, they could easily join any of the top sects in the Six Southeastern Regions. It was unnecessary for them to condescend themselves to join the weakest sects among the top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions. It was also for this reason, Tang Zheng Ye was certain the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had violated the rules and was selling pills that were not refined by the Celestial Alchemists of the sect. As the Vice Sect Leader of the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect, how could he turn a blind eye to this matter? After all, the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect was one of the top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions. The sect had a part in implementing the rule after all.


“Vice Sect Leader Tan is, indeed, knowledgeable. The Tai Yi Celestial Sect has, indeed, gained a prominent Celestial Alchemist capable of refining the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill,” Situ Ming said with a smile. It was as though he did not see the look of mockery in Tan Zheng Ye’s eyes.


“Oh?” After listening to Situ Ming’s words, Tan Zheng Ye’s flashed as he looked into the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop. “I wonder… Is the prominent Celestial Alchemist in the shop? If he is, Master Situ, please introduce us,” he said with a smile. However, he was clearly skeptical.


Before Situ Ming could respond, Guan Qi Fei interjected, “Vice Sect Leader Tan, he’ll definitely say the prominent Celestial Alchemist isn’t around. In fact, he’ll probably say the prominent Celestial Alchemist didn’t come to Alchemy City and isn’t partic.i.p.ating in the Alchemy Conference!” He had spoken so confidently as though he could prophesy the future.
