“Old Mo belongs to the Black Hawk Clan… Similar to the Flying Tiger Clan, members of the Black Hawk Clan are divided based on their innate talents as well. Old Mo is a Green-Eyed Black Hawk. The levels below him are Red-Eyed, Orange-Eyed, and Yellow-Eyed Black Hawks. They’re intermediate, advanced, and superior Duke Grade Celestial Beasts respectively. Then, there are the Azure-Eyed, Blue-Eyed, and Purple-Eyed Black Hawks. They’re intermediate, advanced, and superior King Grade Celestial Beasts respectively. They’re on a higher level than OId Mo. The Purple-Eyed Black Hawk is equivalent to the Dark Golden Flying Tiger in the Flying Tiger Clan; they have royal blood. Nevertheless, a Purple-Eyed Black Hawk is only a superior King Grade Celestial Beast. Its innate talent is lower than that of the Dark Golden Flying Tiger, a peak superior King Grade Celestial Beast. Moreover, there are much fewer Celestial Lords among the Purple-Eyed Black Hawks. The Clan Leader of the Black Hawk Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory is only a Ten Directions Celestial King. It’s extremely difficult for a superior King Grade Celestial Beast to break through and become a Celestial Lord… In fact, in the Southern Heaven Territory, there’s only one Purple-Eyed Black Hawk that became a Celestial Lord. Although this Purple-Eyed Black Hawk isn’t in the Black Hawk Clan, it’s mostly due to his influence that the clan is able to prosper in the Southern Heaven Territory!” Huang Jia Long said.

‘The Black Hawk Clan is still able to thrive in the Southern Heaven Territory even though the Purple-Eyed Black Hawk isn’t in the Black Hawk clan? Is it really just because he’s Celestial Lord?’ Duan Ling Tian was rather skeptical.

As though he could read Duan Ling Tian’s mind, Huang Jia Long said, “You’re right… The Purple-Eyed Black Hawk is only a One Basic Celestial Lord. It’s impossible for him to protect the Black Hawk Clan in the Southern Heaven Territory with that level of strength alone.”

“Then what’s the reason?” Duan Ling Tian asked.

“It’s because that Purple-Eyed Black Hawk is the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord’s mount!” Huang Jia Long slowly said.

Each of Huang Jia Long’s words sounded like an explosion in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. He was shocked. That Purple-Eyed Black Hawk was the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord’s mount?

One had to know that the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord was the only t.i.tled Celestial Lord in the Southern Heaven Territory! He reigned supreme in the Southern Heaven Territory! Blood would shed into rivers, and millions would die with just an order from the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord. Other Celestial Lords were no match for him at all!

“No wonder…” Realization finally dawned on Duan Ling Tian. “As the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord’s mount, it’s no wonder no one dares to provoke the Black Hawk Clan. In fact, it’s less dangerous to offend the Flying Tiger Clan than the Black Hawk Clan!” Duan Ling Tian muttered.

“That’s right…” Huang Jia Long nodded.

With this information, Duan Ling Tian finally learned why the Flying Tiger Clan and Black Hawk Clan were forces to be reckoned with. After his chat with Huang Jia Long, he sat cross-legged after bringing out his prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron to practice alchemy.

“B-brother Duan… Y-you’re skilled in alchemy?” Huang Jia Long asked with an incredulous expression on his face when he saw Duan Ling Tian was about to refine pills. His words attracted the attention of Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Pa.s.sage City, and Bai Gang.

Liu Guang Lin was, naturally, unsurprised since he had known Duan Ling Tian was an excellent prominent Celestial Alchemist. However, he had been similarly shocked the first time he saw Duan Ling Tian easily refining the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill.

Under Huang Jia Long, Huang Yuan Fei, Bai Gang’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian threw the medicinal herbs in his hand into the cauldron and began to refine the pills. It took him half an hour to heat the cauldron. Old Mo had just turned around to look when Duan Ling Tian was done with refining the pills.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

A dozen pills flew out of the cauldron into Duan Ling Tian’s hand.

Huang Jia Long, Huang Yuan Fei, and Bai Gang’s eyes widened in shock.

Old Mo exclaimed in surprise, “Overarching Heaven Pills?!” It was his first time seeing someone successfully refining so many pills at one go and in such a short time. In fact, none of the supreme Duke Grade Celestial Alchemists he had met could compare to Duan Ling Tian’s skills in alchemy.

“So many Overarching Heaven Pills?”

“This young man… He’s truly remarkable!”

When Huang Yuan Fei and Bai Gang regained their senses, they exchanged a look. They could see the shock and disbelief in each other’s eyes.

“Brother Duan… Y-you’re planning to refine the Profound Golden Pill, aren’t you?” Huang Jia Long asked with a gulp.

Based on Duan Ling Tian’s speed and success rate when he refined the Overarching Heaven Pills earlier, it seemed like he was, at least, a supreme King Grade Celestial Alchemist.

“Yes, I am.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Huang Jia Long’s heart skipped a beat.

Huang Yuan Fei’s eyes widened as well. Initially, when the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation had told him about Duan Ling Tian wanting the Golden Nematode for the Profound Golden Pill, he had a.s.sumed Duan Ling Tian had found a supreme King Grade Celestial Alchemist to help him refine the pill. It was not easy to refine the Profound Golden Pill, after all. One had to be a supreme King Grade Celestial Alchemist, at least, to successfully refine the Profound Golden Pill.

“Lad… Are you really going to refine the Profound Golden Pill? Refining the Profound Golden Pill is no joke!” Bai Gang looked at Duan Ling Tian and said in a deep voice, “Don’t forget, the Golden Nematodes that will be auctioned off in the Solitary Nation are going to cost a lot of Celestial Crystals! It’d be a huge loss for everyone if you fail to refine the Profound Golden Pill.”

“I know.” Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“You…”

Before Bai Gang finished speaking, Huang Yuan Fei interjected with bright eyes, “Little Tian, how confident are you in successfully refining the Profound Golden Pill?”

“I’m more than 90% certain,” Duan Ling Tian answered confidently.

“More than 90%?”

Bai Gang and Huang Jia Long were shocked by Duan Ling Tian’s words. This was especially true for Bai Gang. He was still in disbelief. A slight frown could be seen on his face as he said, “Young lad, this is a serious matter. It’s not the time to boast.”

“Uncle Bai, I won’t simply say things if I’m not confident,” Duan Ling Tian said as he met Bai Gang’s eyes.

“Very well… I look forward to it!” Failing to dissuade Duan Ling Tian, Bai Gang could only wait and see.

“Little Tian, since you’re confident that you’ll successfully refine the Profound Golden Pill… If we obtain the two Golden Nematodes during the auction, refine two Profound Golden Pills. You can keep one for your own use and sell the other one to the Moran Nation or the East Ming Nation. At that time, you can sell it to the highest bidder!” Huang Yuan Fei said excitedly. It was as though he could already see Duan Ling Tian successfully refining the Profound Golden Pill.

The Profound Golden Pill was special among the prominent Celestial Pills because regardless of the level of a Celestial Alchemist, one could only refine one pill each time.

“Governor Huang…” Duan Ling Tian said before he corrected himself when he saw Huang Yuan Fei’s displeased expression. “Uncle Huang… Although that’s a good idea, I only have one Profound Spirit Flower. It was given to me by the emperor. If I want to refine a second Profound Golden Pill, I’d need another Profound Spirit Flower.” A wry smile could be seen on his face when he spoke.

The Golden Nematode and the Profound Spirit Flower were key ingredients to refining the Profound Golden Pill. Compared to the other ingredients that were easily found and cheap, these two ingredients were extremely rare.

Huang Yuan Fei laughed as he lifted his hand and said, “I’ve thought about it as well! Isn’t it such a coincidence that I happen to have a Profound Spirit Flower with me?”
