Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing how humble Duan Ling Tian was, the three men felt a little embarrassed. After all, they had been criticizing Duan Ling Tian's alchemy skills just a moment ago. At the same time, their impression of Duan Ling Tian rose.

Although Duan Ling Tian owned such a remarkable prominent Celestial Fire and managed to become a prominent Celestial Alchemist at such a young age, despite his lacking refinement in techniques, it was still a great feat. Instead of being arrogant, he still maintained a humble attitude.

"Master Duan, I, Situ Ming, am a man of my words… From now on, you'll be known as the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect to the public and to the people in the sect. I acknowledge you!" Situ Ming was the first to speak.

"That's right!" Yang Chong said, "Master Duan, although your alchemy methods rely more on your prominent Celestial Fire, prominent Celestial Fire is also part of your skill. Perhaps, your techniques are not as refined as mine, but you're far more efficient than me. Therefore, I'm also willing to acknowledge you as the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!" His eyes shone brightly as he looked at Duan Ling Tian.

"I agree." Yu Zhong Jing was the last to speak up. He was also willing to acknowledge Duan Ling Tian as the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect.

"What are you guys talking about?" Bai Ping, the Sect Leader of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, was slightly confused. He did not understand their words. It seemed like the three prominent Celestial Alchemists of his sect did not think highly of Duan Ling Tian's techniques. However, if Duan Ling Tian's techniques were lacking, how could he refine the Overarching Heaven Pill? Moreover, Duan Ling Tian even managed to refine five Overarching Heaven Pills at one go!

Realization finally dawned on Bai Ping after Yang Chong explained the matter to him.

"The reason Master Duan's is so skilled and efficient is largely due to his prominent Celestial Fire? Moreover, his level is only comparable to early-stage prominent Celestial Alchemists…"

Yang Chong looked at Duan Ling Tian and sighed before he continued to say, "However, it's undeniable that Master Duan is a genius in the field of alchemy. After all, he's not even 100 years of age. The youngest of the three of us is already more than 10,000 years old! Even Master Yu, who was the last to become a prominent Celestial Alchemist among the three of us, has already been a prominent Celestial Alchemist for 3,000 years. With time and hard work, even someone with no talent would improve. This is probably why our skills are better than Master Duan for now. For all these reasons, I willingly acknowledge him as the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect!"

Although Duan Ling Tian knew that his techniques were average, he did not expect the three prominent Celestial Alchemists would rate him as an early-state prominent Celestial Alchemist. After all, he had studied alchemy for a long time, even when he was still in the mundane realm.

'It seems like there's a difference in techniques in the Devata Realms and the mundane realms. Moreover, my knowledge of alchemy is gained through the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor in the mundane realm. This is probably why I can only be considered as an early-stage prominent Celestial Alchemist. As expected, I still have a long way to go to become a full-fledged prominent Celestial Alchemist.' With this, Duan Ling Tian was made aware of his shortcomings. Based on Yang Chong's words, he discovered he was only considered outstanding due to his third form Chaos Divine Flame. What he needed to improve was experiences and guidance from his seniors.

"All three of you are my seniors… I'm fortunate enough to obtain a remarkable prominent Celestial Fire that allowed me to refine the Overarching Heaven Pill, but my techniques are still lacking. I'd like to request the three of you to guide me in the future!" Duan Ling Tian said to the three prominent Celestial Alchemists.

Most people liked modest people. Due to how humble he was, Situ Ming and the other two took a liking to Duan Ling Tian. They had no objection to guiding him.

The atmosphere in the hall was good. Duan Ling Tian and three prominent Celestial Alchemists seemed to get along well. Upon seeing this, Bai Ping felt relieved. At least, he was certain the three prominent Celestial Alchemists would not leave the sect when he made Duan Ling Tian the Chief Celestial Alchemist of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Moreover, he noticed the three men looked at Duan Ling Tian affectionately, like an elder looking at a youngster with a bright future.

'It seems like Master Situ, Master Yang, and Master Yu think Master Duan has great potential.' Bai Ping could discern this much. 'According to Master Yang and Master Duan's words, it seems like Master Duan is only so skilled now because of his prominent Celestial Fire.' He also realized there was still room for improvement in regard to Duan Ling Tian's alchemy techniques.

At this moment, Situ Ming looked at Duan Ling Tian and said with a sigh, "Master Duan, with your prominent Celestial Fire, young age, and high potential… Sooner or later you'll be one of the top Celestial Alchemists in the Spirit Overarching Heaven as long as you don't die young."

"I agree!" Yu Zhong Jing nodded in agreement.

Compared with Situ Ming and Yang Chong, he had not spoken much. However, he shared the same thoughts with the other two.

"Master Duan, the three of us are definitely ranked in the top five in the Wasteland in terms of alchemy. If you have any questions in the future, you can look for us," Yang Chong said.

Duan Ling Tian who was standing at the side nodded.

"Master Situ, it seems you regard Master Duan highly? You said he'll be one of the top Celestial Alchemists in the Spirit Overarching Heaven sooner or later?" Bai Ping was stunned by Yang Chong's high praise of Duan Ling Tian. The way he looked at Duan Ling Tian had changed as well. In the end, seeing the four people chatting intimately, he did not want to disturb them so he silently left.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who was chatting with Situ Ming, Yang Chong, and Yu Zhong Jing learned many new things. For example, he learned about the supreme Celestial Pills and supreme Celestial Alchemists.

As it turned out, supreme Celestial Alchemists were divided into grades like supreme Celestial Weapons Craftsmen.

Above the prominent Celestial Alchemists were Duke Celestial Alchemists. Above the Duke Celestial Alchemists were King Celestial Celestial Alchemists. Above the King Celestial Alchemists were Royal Celestial Alchemists. Above Royal Celestial Alchemists were Emperor Celestial Alchemists.

Supreme Celestial Pills were also divided into grades similar to how Celestial Alchemists were divided.

'Supreme Celestial Weapons Craftsmen and Supreme Celestial Weapons are also divided into multiple levels… I suspected it's the same for Celestial Alchemists and Celestial Pills. As it turns out, I'm right.'

Duan Ling Tian sighed. As the saying went, 'A single conversation with a wise man is worth a month of studying of books'. After speaking to the three experienced prominent Celestial Alchemists from the Tai Yi Celestial Sect, he felt his horizon had broadened.

The four of them chatted until night fell before they finally decided to leave.

"Master Duan, if you have any questions about alchemy in the future, you can come to me… I'll try my best to help you to the best of my abilities!" Situ Ming said to Duan Ling Tian before he left. After talking to Duan Ling Tian, Situ Ming also had a better grasp of Duan Ling Tian's character. He could tell that Duan Ling Tian was humble and intelligent. Duan Ling Tian was someone worth teaching.

"Same for me."

"Me too."

Yang Chong and Yu Zhong Jing also made the same promise.

In the three prominent Celestial Alchemists' eyes, Duan Ling Tian was a promising and highly talented Celestial Alchemist. It was destined that he would surpass them in the future whether it was in regard to cultivation base or alchemy. Therefore, they all cherished the opportunity to get along with Duan Ling Tian as equals now. After all, they all could only look up to him in the future when he matured. At that time, it would be difficult for them to treat him as an equal. They believed the relationship they formed with Duan Ling Tian today would be beneficial to them for life!

"You can also look for me if you have any questions outside of alchemy, Master Duan… In addition to being a prominent Celestial Alchemist, I have also achieved a breakthrough in my cultivation in recent years," Situ Ming said again as he paused in his steps. "As long as I can solve the problem, I will help you out, Master Duan… If I can't solve it, I will ask the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders to help you. If all else fails, I'll go to the Tai Yi's Patriarch!"

The Tai Yi's Patriarch!

Duan Ling Tian was shocked. This was the first time he had heard about the Patriarch of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect. Based on Situ Ming's words, the patriarch seemed to be even stronger than Bai Ping and the Supreme Elders of the sect.

'It's no secret that the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elders of the Tai Yi Celestial Sect are Seven Star Celestial Dukes… Does this mean the patriarch is the Eight Trigrams Celestial Duke that Brother Pei mentioned?!'
