Chapter 2754: The Mediocre Celestial Tool, the Pill Cauldron

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although Duan Ling Tian was not completely certain the Chaos Divine Flame in his body that had entered the stage was comparable to a prominent Celestial Fire, he was certain it was comparable to a mediocre Celestial Fire at least.

‘Why didn’t I think of this earlier? All I needed to do was to ask the thirteenth prince for a cauldron used for refining mediocre Celestial Pills to verify if my Chaos Divine Flame is comparable to a prominent Celestial Fire...’

Long Fei Yun and Qiu Ling who were waiting in the front yard were baffled when they saw Duan Ling Tian emerging from his room so soon.

Long Fei Yun quickly regained his senses and asked, “Brother Duan, how come you’re out so soon?”

Duan Ling Tian replied sheepishly, “My cauldron was a primitive pill cauldron... My Celestial Fire destroyed it as soon as they came in contact.”

A primitive pill cauldron?

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian’s words, Long Fei Yun was shocked. “That’s to say... Brother Duan, you’re a primitive Celestial Alchemist before this?”

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded faintly. Since he did not refine mediocre Celestial Pills when the Chaos Divine Flame was at the second stage, it was not wrong to say he was only a primitive Celestial Alchemist before.

“Brother Duan, your luck is rather good... Not many primitive Celestial Alchemists are able to obtain a prominent Celestial Fire.” Long Fei Yun shook his head. “I’ll take my leave now to search for a mediocre and prominent pill cauldron.” After he finished speaking, he left Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard.

In the mundane realms, there was no distinction between pill cauldrons. For this reason, Duan Ling Tian had completely forgotten that pill cauldrons in the Devata Realms were divided into grades as well. The cauldrons used to refine primitive Celestial Pills were primitive Celestial Tools. Naturally, primitive Celestial Alchemists could also use higher grade cauldrons to refine primitive Celestial Pills. However, it was not the same in reverse. Celestial Alchemists would not be able to refine high-grade Celestial Pills using low-grade pill cauldrons. The low-grade cauldrons would not be able to withstand Celestial Fires of a higher grade. This was what happened to Duan Ling Tian when he attempted to refine a prominent Celestial Pill with his primitive pill cauldron.

...

A gloomy expression could be seen on Long Fei Yun’s face when he exited Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard. “It’s simple to obtain a mediocre pill cauldron. However, even in the Imperial palace, there are only two prominent pill cauldrons.”

Although the two prominent pill cauldrons were collecting dust due to the lack of prominent Celestial Alchemists, they were still tightly guarded.

‘In order to get one of the prominent pill cauldrons, I’ll have to obtain father’s consent. I’m not sure he’ll agree to it...’ Long Fei Yun’s mood fell even further when he thought about this. Since his father did not favor him, he was rather certain his father would not give him one of the two prominent pill cauldrons. After all, they were considered treasures, and there were only two in the Imperial palace.

In the end, Long Fei Yun clenched his teeth and decided to give it a try. ‘For Brother Duan and my sake, I’ll have to give it a try. If father doesn’t agree to it, I’ll look for another way then...’

...

It was just as Long Fei Yun had expected. He had easily found a mediocre pill cauldron in the Imperial family’s storage. The keeper of the storage did not even bat an eyelid when he took the mediocre pill cauldron. However, when he had asked for a prominent pill cauldron, he was instantly rejected.

“Your Highness, the Imperial family of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom only has two prominent pill cauldrons. His Majesty has already passed down an order that those who request for it have to obtain his consent first. Your Highness, if you want the prominent pill cauldron, you’ll have to obtain His Majesty’s permission.”

Since Long Fei Yun had expected this, he simply took the mediocre pill cauldron before he left to look for his father, the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.

At the entrance of the emperor’s residence, Long Fei Yun was stopped by his father’s personal bodyguard who was a powerful heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. This heaven-rank Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial was acknowledged as the strongest person below peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. “Your Highness, the Thirteenth Prince, His Majesty is cultivating and is not receiving visitors. If you have something to speak to him about, I’ll pass your message to him.”

Long Fei Yun’s expression darkened. “He’s not even willing to see me?”

“Your Highness, the Thirteenth Prince, His Majesty is cultivating. There’s no need to overthink it. You can just inform me of your business with His Majesty, and I’ll convey his reply to you after that.”

The personal bodyguard of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom was a middle-aged man with medium stature and an ordinary appearance. However, his eyes were keen and bright. They were capable of sending jolts of fear through one’s soul with just a look.

Long Fei Yun inhaled deeply to suppress the emotions raging in his heart before he said, “Alright.” Then, he revealed the objective of his visit.

“The prominent pill cauldron?” The middle-aged man’s brows rose slightly. He was clearly surprised. However, he did not comment on it and turned around to enter the residence.

After about a dozen breaths, the middle-aged man finally returned to the entrance.

Long Fei Yun asked with a hint of anxiety, “What did the father say?” He only wanted to know if he would be able to obtain the prominent pill cauldron. He did not want to disappoint Duan Ling Tian.

The middle-aged man bluntly replied, “His Majesty said there are only two prominent pill cauldrons so he can’t give one to you.”

Although Long Fei Yun had expected this, his expression changed drastically upon hearing the middle-aged man’s reply. In the end, he only smiled in an aggrieved manner as he muttered under his breath, “It’s just as I expected... Father, it seems like you still treat me like an outsider. If fourth or seventh brother came to you with this request, you’ll probably agree to it immediately...” He glanced at the emperor’s residence once before he turned to leave. He emitted an air of despair as he walked away.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man only shook his head. A hint of pity could be seen in his eyes before they returned to their usual indifference.

...

When Long Fei Yun returned to Duan Ling Tian’s courtyard, he handed the mediocre pill cauldron over to Duan Ling Tian. He smiled apologetically as he said, “Brother Duan, my apologies... I only manage to obtain a mediocre pill cauldron. As for a prominent pill cauldron...”

Upon hearing this, Duan Ling Tian could not help but frown slightly. It was not due to Long Fei Yun’s failure in obtaining a prominent pill cauldron. Rather, he was displeased at the emperor’s treatment of Long Fei Yun. Previously, he had heard that the Long Fei Yun was not favored by the emperor. However, this was his first time witnessing it. In the end, he solemnly said, “Thirteenth prince, I, Duan Ling Tian, definitely help you ascend the throne and become the Emperor of Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom.”

“I believe you, Brother Duan. Anyway, don’t worry about the prominent pill cauldron. I’ll think of another way to obtain it,” Long Fei Yun replied, ‘However, you can still test your Celestial Fire with this mediocre pill cauldron. If it can’t withstand your Celestial Fire, it would confirm that you have a prominent Celestial Fire. If it’s able to...”

Duan Ling Tian knew what Long Fei Yun meant even though Long Fei Yun did not finish his sentence. If the mediocre pill cauldron was able to withstand the Chaos Divine Flame, it would prove that he was only a mediocre Celestial Alchemist. “Yes.”

Duan Ling Tian did not bother to return to his room this time around. Under Long Fei Yun and Qiu Ling’s watchful eyes, he controlled the Chaos Divine Flame and prepared to heat up the mediocre pill cauldron.

As soon as the gray flame, the Chaos Divine Flame, appeared, a scorching heat descended on the place.

Swoosh!

The Chaos Divine Flame finally made contact with the mediocre pill cauldron.

Long Fei Yun and Qiu Ling stared at it unblinkingly, seemingly afraid they would miss everything as soon as they blinked.

Duan Ling Tian watched on as well with an expectant expression on his face.

“Eh?” There seemed to be no movement even after the flame came in contact with the mediocre pill cauldron. Duan Ling Tian smiled bitterly.

“It seems like Brother Duan’s Celestial Fire is only a mediocre Celestial Fire.” Long Fei Yun sighed.

“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded with a disappointed expression on his face. Then, he glanced at Long Fei Yun and said, “It seems like there’s no need for me to trouble you to look for a prominent pill cauldron since I have no use for...”

Before Duan Ling Tian finished his sentence...

Bang!

A deafening explosion reverberated in the air. The pill cauldron was blown apart! Although the explosion was not as strong as the previous explosion where the cauldron had turned into ashes immediately, the mediocre pill cauldron was still blown apart into pieces.
