After Guan Qi Fei finished speaking, he looked at Situ Ming with a triumphant and contemptuous expression on his face. Then, he continued to say in an increasingly derisive tone, “It’s impossible for someone like that to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. After all, they would definitely join superior sects who would make them an elder. Why would a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills stoop so low to join the Tai Yi Celestial Sect?! In my opinion, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect is only lying so they can sell Overarching Heaven Pills in Alchemy City. After all, we can’t immediately find out if there’s truly such a prominent Celestial Alchemist who has joined the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in the Wasteland.”

Guan Qi Fei did not relent. He continued to look at Situ Ming smugly and said, “Fortunately, the old ancestors of the top sects, who set the rules, are smart enough to come up with a way to counter lies like this. Not only must sects sell pills that are refined by their Celestial Alchemists, but the pills they sell must only be refined by the sects’ Celestial Alchemists who are participating in the Alchemy Conference in Alchemy City. In other words, even if a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills has joined the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, you’re still not qualified to sell Overarching Heaven Pills if he’s not here!” A prideful expression appeared on his face. Clearly, he thought he was smart for being able to see through the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s supposed lie.

“Indeed, there’s such a rule.” Tan Zheng Ye nodded. Then, he looked at Situ Ming and said, “Master Situ, even if there’s such a Celestial Alchemist in your sect, you can’t sell these pills if he isn’t in Alchemy City. Just as Master Guan has said, sects are only allowed to sell pills that are refined by the sects’ Celestial Alchemists who are attending the Alchemy Conference.” He repeated the rule as though he was afraid Situ Ming was unaware of the rule.

At this moment, a crowd had gathered outside the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop.

“What happened?!”

“Isn’t this the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop? Is someone making trouble?”

The crowd was rather huge that those who were not in the know might even think the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was giving out free pills and medicinal herbs. Otherwise, why was it so lively outside the shop?

“The two groups of people here aren’t simple. One of them is Guan Qi Fei, a prominent Celestial Alchemist of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect in the Shadow Region. The other person is Tan Zheng Ye, the Vice Sect Leader of the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect in the Light Region. I can understand why the people of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect are causing trouble… After all, the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and Tai Yi Celestial Sect have never been on good terms. However, why is the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect joining in as well? I don’t think there’s any conflict between the Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect and the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.”

“Don’t you know? They came because of the sale of Overarching Heaven Pills in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop!”

“Overarching Heaven Pills? There are Overarching Heaven Pills in Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop?”

“Early this morning, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop opened and started selling Overarching Heaven Pills cheaper than other shops. Therefore, more and more people came here to buy Overarching Heaven Pills.

Outside the Tai Yi Celestial Sect shop, more and more people were watching the drama. The onlookers finally found out why the members of the Supporting Sun Celestial Sect and Thousand Leaves Celestial Sect came to cause trouble.

“As far as I know, there’s no prominent Celestial Pill Alchemist who’s capable of refining the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill, in the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, right? The Tai Yi Celestial Sect has never sold Overarching Heaven Pill in Alchemy City before. The top sects of the Six Southeastern Regions have prohibited sects from selling pills in Alchemy City that aren’t refined by the sects’ own Celestial Alchemists who aren’t participating in the Alchemy Conference.”

“Is it possible that the Tai Yi Celestial Sect has successfully recruited a prominent Celestial Alchemist who can refine Overarching Heaven Pills?”

“That better be the case. Otherwise, the Tai Yi Celestial Sect will be in big trouble!”

“Yes. It’s not a trivial matter to blatantly violate the rules set by the top sects… Their carelessness might even cause the top sects to attack them!”

Many of the onlookers had similar thoughts as Tan Zheng Ye. They did not think Tai Yi Celestial Sect was capable of recruiting a prominent Celestial Alchemists who was able to refine Overarching Heaven Pills nor did they think the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect were capable of refining Overarching Heaven Pills.

“Tai Yi Celestial Sect is in big trouble this time.”

“What on earth is the Tai Yi Celestial Sect thinking? Is it worth it to break the rules for a little bit of gain?”

“That’s right! Are they worried they won’t be able to sell the Overarching Heaven Pills in the Wasteland?”

Many people shook their heads. They felt the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was foolish and reckless for blatantly violating the rule set by the major Sects of the Six Southeastern Regions! They were certain the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was in big trouble this time!

Bolstered by the onlookers’ words, the triumphant look in Guan Qi Fei’s eyes intensified as he looked at Situ Ming provocatively. He could not wait to see how Situ Ming was going to extricate himself from this situation. In his opinion, there was no way Situ Ming would be able to get away from this.

“Vice Sect Leader Tan, I’m aware of the rule you mentioned…” Situ Ming remained calm in the face of Tang Zheng Ye’s aggressive words and Guan Qi Fei’s provocative words. “If our Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s prominent Celestial Alchemist who’s able to refine the prominent Celestial Pill, the Overarching Heaven Pill, didn’t come to Alchemy City, the sect, naturally, wouldn’t dare to sell Overarching Heaven Pills.”

“Huh?” Guan Qi Fei was taken aback by Situ Ming’s words.

Meanwhile, Tan Zheng Ye looked at Situ Ming in disbelief. “Master Situ, are you saying the prominent Celestial Alchemist from your sect who’s able to refine Overarching Heaven Pills is here as well?”

“Of course.” Situ Ming nodded. “He’s in the store now.”

“Situ Ming, who are you trying to fool?!” Guan Qi Fei who had regained his senses said disdainfully, “Don’t think I’m unaware of the people of Tai Yi Celestial Sect who came to Alchemy City. Apart from three of you and the old ancestor of your sect, only a young man and a beautiful woman came to the city. Don’t tell me you’re going to say the prominent Celestial Alchemist lost his way so he’s not here at the moment?” He had heard about the conflict between the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect with the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect when they arrived in the city. For this reason, he knew how many people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect had come to Alchemy City to participate in the Alchemy Conference.

At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter rang from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect’s shop. Soon after, an old figure emerged from the shop. The person was none other than the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. As soon as he walked out, he looked at Tan Zheng Ye and greeted him. “Vice Sect Leader Tan, long time no see.” He did not even spare a glance at Guan Qi Fei, blatantly ignoring him.

Huan’er held Duan Ling Tian’s hand as both of them slowly walked out of the shop as well.

Upon seeing the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, Tang Zheng Ye no longer dared to be as bold as he was before. His expression turned solemn as he cupped his fists together. “Senior He Shan.” In terms of seniority, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect was above him. More importantly, the Old Ancestor’s cultivation base was higher than his. Therefore, he did not dare to act recklessly. He glanced at the two people standing behind him and sternly said, “Both of you, hurry and greet Senior He Shan! Senior He Shan is the Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and a powerful Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke!”

However, the pair of young man and young woman seemed as though they did not hear Tan Zheng Ye’s words. They stared at the Old Ancestor of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect in a daze.

At this moment, everyone, including Guan Qi Fei, seemed to have fallen into a daze as they looked over the Old Ancestor’s shoulder. To be precise, they were staring at Huan’er who had walked out hand-in-hand with Duan Ling Tian. It seemed as though they had seen some peerless treasure.

“She… Isn’t she the woman who caused the conflict between the Tai Yi Celestial Sect and the Young Master of the Profound Heaven Celestial Sect a few days ago?”

“I have long heard that there’s a peerless beauty with the people from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect this time… Now that I’ve seen her, I have to say the rumors aren’t exaggerated. She’s even more beautiful than I’d expected. I didn’t think there would be such a perfect woman in this world!”

“I have lived for nearly 10,000 years, and this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful woman… Compared to her, all the beauties I’ve seen can’t be called beauties as well!”

As long as Huan’er did not conceal her appearance, she would definitely attract attention everywhere she went.

“What a marvelous beauty!” Even Guan Qi Fei who had come to stir up trouble was charmed by Huan’er’s beauty. His eyes were trained on Huan’er, it seemed like he could not look away at all.

Even Tang Zheng Ye was shocked by Huan’er’s beauty. ‘No wonder Gang’er and Hui’er are stunned. If I were young, I would’ve been charmed by such a peerless beauty as well!’
