Chapter 2979: The Profound Golden Pill With A Sky-high Price
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Duan Ling Tian’s residence was quite a distance away from the main hall.
During the journey, Huang Jia Long, who still could not shake away his guilt, asked, “Brother Duan, you won’t blame me for not trusting in your ability to refine the Profound Golden Pill, right?” It was clear that this matter bothered him. After all, it showed his distrust toward Duan Ling Tian to a certain extent.
“Why would I?” Duan Ling Tian shook his head and faintly smiled. “If I were you, I probably wouldn’t believe that I’m capable of refining the Profound Golden Pill as well... After all, the Profound Golden Pill is no ordinary prominent Grade Celestial Pills, and I’m just a prominent Celestial Alchemist.”
After refining the Profound Golden Pill, Duan Ling Tian was even more aware of how difficult it was to refine the Profound Golden Pill. Before that, he did not truly grasp how difficult it would be. He knew that without the help from the Chaos Divine Flame and the Chaos Divine Earth, it would be almost impossible for him to succeed. No wonder people said that there might not even be one prominent Celestial Alchemist out of 10,000 prominent Celestial Alchemists who would be able to successfully refine the Profound Golden Pill. In fact, the probability of 100 Duke Grade Celestial Alchemists successfully refining the Profound Golden Pill was less than one.
‘If it weren’t for the Chaos Divine Flame and Chaos Divine Earth, even with my skills, I have less than 10% chance of successfully refining the Profound Golden Pill if I use an ordinary prominent Celestial Fire.’
‘I didn’t expect the Chaos Divine Earth would be able to merge with my cauldron to increase my success rate. Apart from that, it also said that it’s able to merge with my Celestial Weapon and boost my defensive strength...’ Based on his experience with the Profound Divine Metal and the Chaos Divine Flame, Duan Ling Tian knew the Chaos Divine Earth would have special abilities. Nevertheless, he was still pleasantly surprised when he learned about the Chaos Divine Earth’s actual abilities.
...
In the main hall.
Huang Yuan Fei and Old Mo were entertaining the people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation.
There were three people from the East Ming Nation and two people from the Moran Nation.
Before entering the main hall, Huang Jia Long began to introduce the people in the main hall to Duan Ling Tian. He said through Voice Transmission, “Brother Duan, the old man is the leader of the entourage from the East Ming Nation. He’s a One Basic Celestial King working for the East Ming Nation’s Imperial Family. His name is Hu Qing. The silver-clad young man next to him is the Second Prince of the East Ming Nation, and the green-clad young man on the other side is the genius sectless cultivator, Ling Jue Yun, who recently rose to fame during the East Ming Nation’s Southern Heaven Combat.”
Huang Jia Long continued to say, “Of the two people from the Moran Nation, the middle-aged man is a One Basic Celestial King from the nation’s Imperial Family, Lian Zheng Xing. The young man next to him is the Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation.”
Huang Jia Long finished speaking as soon as they entered the main hall. He immediately made his way to his father, Huang Yuan Fei, and passed the pill bottle to his father. “Father.”
Upon seeing this, Huang Yuan Fei’s eyes brightened, and he inwardly sighed in relief. Although he was confident in Duan Ling Tian’s ability, it was inevitable that he would still feel pressure when faced with the Celestial Kings from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation.
“Uncle Huang.” Duan Ling Tian followed Huang Jia Long’s lead and stood next to Huang Yuan Fei.
“Little Tian, thanks for your hard work,” Huang Yuan Fei said through Voice Transmission as he nodded and smiled at Duan Ling Tian. He had already learned from Huang Jia Long that not only did Duan Ling Tian successfully refine two Profound Golden Pill, but Duan Ling Tian had consumed one of them and successfully became a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial!
Now that everyone had arrived, Huang Yuan Fei wasted no time in making introductions. “Little Tian, let me introduce you...”
“So this is the genius sectless cultivator who shocked the Supporting Fall Nation during the Southern Heaven Combat... What a promising young man!” Lian Zheng Xing, the Celestial King from the Moran Nation, said. Then, he shifted his eyes to Ling Jue Yun who was standing with the people from the East Ming Nation before he continued to say, “I wonder which one of you is stronger?”
It was obvious Lian Zheng Xing was trying to sow discord. Alas, his effort was destined to be futile.
Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun exchanged a glance, smiling at each other as though they were old friends. Contrary to Lian Zheng Xing’s expectations, there was no hostility between the two young men.
Huang Jia Long was surprised as well. He wondered if Duan Ling Tian was already acquainted with the genius sectless cultivator from the East Ming Nation.
Naturally, Duan Ling Tian and Ling Jue Yun did not know each other. They had only met for the first time during the Imperial Auction of the Solitary Nation. However, they seemed to have a good impression of one another even though they had not spoken.
‘T-they’re acquainted?’ Liang Zheng Xing was rather flustered. He did not expect his attempt to sow discord would end up like this.
“City Governor Huang, you sent your son to retrieve the Profound Golden Pill earlier... The pill bottle he just handed to you... does it contain the Profound Golden Pill?” Hu Qing, the Celestial King from the East Ming Nation, asked as he looked at the pill bottle in Huang Yuan Fei’s hand with a solemn expression on his face.
“Yes.” Huang Yuan Fei nodded before he poured out the content of the pill bottle. A pill with a strong medicinal scent and unique glow sat in his palm.
“The Profound Golden Pill!” With just a glance, the people from the East Ming Nation and the Moran Nation could tell it was the Profound Golden Pill!
Lian Zheng Xing said urgently, “Since the Profound Golden Pill is here, we should stop wasting time... City Governor Huang, please state your starting bid...”
Hu Qing also looked at Huang Yuan Fei in anticipation.
“There’s no need to bid; both of you can directly state your best offer,” Huang Yuan Fei said with a smile. He was not worried the two parties would give up on the Profound Golden Pill. The pill was extremely important to the two nations, after all.
As soon as Huang Yuan Fei finished speaking, Lian Zheng Xing quickly said, “If that’s the case, I’ll start first... 200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!”
200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals were the price of two ordinary King Grade Celestial Weapons. It was also the limit that was given by the Emperor of the Moran Nation for the Golden Nematodes. Anything more than that was deemed unworthy by the emperor.
“300,000 prominent grade celestial crystals” Hu Qing did not hesitate to make his offer. He upped the price by another 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals as though they were just rocks.
“Elder Hu is really bold!” Lian Zheng Xing’s expression darkened when he heard Hu Qing’s offer. He gritted his teeth before he said, “310,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!”
“400,000 prominent Celestial Crystals,” Hu Qing said tonelessly as his expression remained unchanged.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Lian Zheng Xing and the Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation darkened even further. They did not expect Hu Qing would offer 400,000 prominent Celestial Crystals for the Profound Golden Pill without even blinking. Although the Profound Golden Pill was rare, it was not as though there was no Profound Golden Pill in the Profound Nether Mansion at all. Moreover, the price in the black market for a pill was only roughly around 200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. The price rarely exceeded 300,000 prominent Celestial Crystals.
After several breaths, Huang Yuan Fei turned to look at Lian Zheng Xing, “Mister Lian, will you continue to make an offer?”
At this moment, the Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation who had grown anxious cried out, “Uncle Lian!”
Lian Zheng Xing inhaled deeply before he said, “500,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!” Then, he shifted his eyes to Hu Qing and said meaningfully, “Elder Hu, if you continue, I won’t be making another bid for the Profound Golden Pill... However, is it really worth it to spend more than 500,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to buy a Profound Golden Pill for an outsider?”
Lian Zheng Xing was buying the Profound Golden Pill for the Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation, a direct descendant of the Moran Nation’s Imperial Family. However, the East Ming Nation was buying it for Ling Jue Yun, an outsider.
“Whether it’s worth it or not, I have my own thoughts. Thank you for the Profound Golden Pill, Brother Lian,” Hu Qing said indifferently before he made his offer. “510,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!”
Lian Zheng Xing scoffed upon hearing Hu Qing’s words. Then, he left with a grim expression with the Seventh Prince of the Solitary Nation in tow.
Similarly, the Seventh Prince of the Moran Nation wore a gloomy expression on his face. He knew there was no way he could obtain the Profound Golden Pill at this point. 500,000 prominent Celestial Crystals were also all he was willing to pay for the Profound Golden Pill. Any more than that, he did not think it was worth it.
After the duo from the Moran Nation left, Huang Yuan Fei put the Profound Golden Pill back into the bottle before he passed it to Hu Qing. “Congratulations, Elder Hu.”
Hu Qing also promptly handed over 510,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to Huang Yuan Fei in exchange for the Profound Golden Pill.
After completing the deal, Hu Qing took his leave and left with Ling Jue Yun and the Second Prince of the East Ming Nation. “Goodbye City Governor Huang.”
Currently, only the people from the Supporting Fall Nation were left in the main hall.
“Little Tian, keep this Spatial Ring.” Huang Yuan Fei handed the Spatial Ring Hu Qing had passed to him to Duan Ling Tian. “I have counted; there are 510,000 prominent Celestial Crystals inside. No more, no less.”
“Uncle Huang, what are you doing?” Duan Ling Tian did not take the Spatial Ring. He said resolutely, “Although I refined the Profound Golden Pill, you’re the one who bought the Golden Nematodes. Moreover, you’ve also given me the Profound Spirit Flower. At most, I can only accept 200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals.”
Duan Ling Tian had his principles, after all. He placed importance on gratitude.
However, Duan Ling Tian’s insistence was met with similar resistance from Huang Yuan Fei. “Little Tian, no... Without you, these ingredients would have gone to waste. Let’s do this... I’ll take 10,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, and you keep the rest of it. Don’t make me look bad!”
