Myth Beyond Heaven

More than a hundred rounds of thunder strikes passed, and the pills inside the cauldron gradually solidified each time Yun Lintian guided the tribulation’s energy into them.

At this moment, Yun Lintian’s robe was full of holes and burning traces, but no wound could be seen on his body. Except for the sweats, Yun Lintian didn’t seem to suffer anything from the pill tribulation.

He would have become ashes by now if it was an ordinary practitioner.

After pouring the last trace of the tribulation’s energy into the pills, Yun Lintian released his divine energy and tried to seal all ten pills inside the cauldron. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎

A few minutes later, Yun Lintian retracted his power as well as put the fire down. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said. “Done.”

With a swoosh, Zhi Dazun appeared beside the cauldron and opened the lid directly. He couldn’t wait to see the legendary Thousand Calamities Pill.

When the lid was opened, the entire area was filled with a strong fragrance. It was several times stronger than the Soul Rejuvenating Pill back then.

“This… All in the best grade? How…?” Sun Shi, who pried into the cauldron, exclaimed in shock when she saw ten silver-colored pills at the bottom. The exquisite patterns on the pills indicated they were in the best grade.

Qin Mei briefly looked at the pills and turned to Yun Lintian. “You actually made it on the first try. I really don’t know a word to describe your talent.”

As a top auctioneer, Qin Mei’s eyes for a treasure’s quality were naturally sharp. The pill Yun Lintian just made could definitely shake the entire upper realms. Even the God Emperor’s forces might come for it.

And if this matter spread out, Yun Lintian would surely be chased after.

Fortunately, Zhi Wei had already prepared for this. When the top floor was gone, he quickly activated the isolating formation to conceal the entire building. Hence, no one could see the entire process.

Zhi Dazun carefully put all the pills into the wooden box he had prepared beforehand and turned to Yun Lintian. “I am fully convinced now. You’re definitely the number one alchemist in the Divine Realm.”

Yun Lintian smiled faintly and said. “I am interested in the rewards more.”

Zhi Dazun didn’t hesitate to hand a storage ring and a golden token to Yun Lintian. “These are the rewards and your personal token. As long as you show this token to our association, they will listen to your command. At the same time, you can enjoy a huge benefit.”

Yun Lintian received the ring and the token and checked on them briefly. Inside the ring were mountains of resources, estimated around fifty billion worth of Divine Stones.

Zhi Wei stepped forward and added. “With this token, it means you have become an honorable elder of the association. Your authority is only below the four great elders and the God Emperors.”

Yun Lintian nodded slightly and said. “Thank you.”

“This is what you deserved.” Zhi Wei said with a smile. Finally, the stone that pressed on his heart had disappeared. He didn’t have to search for a capable alchemist to refine the Thousand Calamities Pill anymore.

Zhi Wei was initially dissatisfied when he was sent to this middle realm. He couldn’t even find a good alchemist in the upper realms. How could he hope to find one in such a remote realm like this?

Unexpectedly, Yun Lintian showed up. All the grievance and resentment Zhi Wei had before vanished entirely now.

Zhi Dazun looked at Yun Lintian and said. “I would like to ask you for guidance here, but I need to go back to report this. If Elder Lin has time, don’t forget to visit the headquarter. With your qualification, I believe the God Emperors would certainly want to see you.”

“I will.” Yun Lintian responded.

Zhi Dazun didn’t say anything further and pulled Sun Shi, who was reluctant to leave, away.

“Do you want to stay here, Elder Lin? Although the top floor needs to be repaired, the other floors are fine. I can arrange a place for you here,” Zhi Wei asked.

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. “Thank you, President Zhi. I still have something to do.”

“It’s fine. You can come here anytime.” Zhi Wei said. “If there’s no mistake, I should return to the headquarter in a few days. I hope we meet again there.”

“Farewell.” Yun Lintian cupped his fists and walked away with Ning Yue and Qin Mei.

***

After returning to the palace, Zhou Ling’er didn’t visit her mother directly. She stayed in her palace and waited for an opportunity to treat her mother.

When she saw the pill tribulation appear in the sky, she immediately thought of Yun Lintian. This made the admiration for him in her heart grow further. Meeting Yun Lintian was definitely the best thing that happened to her life in many years.

At this moment, Chu Tong’er walked into the room and whispered. “Master, Third Prince has been shutting himself in his palace since he returned. I’m afraid he is plotting something again.”

Zhou Ling’er looked at her maidservant and said. “I know his personality well. He won’t dare to do anything now. After all, the banquet is approaching. He has to fight with Brother Crown Prince later. The stake is too high for him to mess around like before.”

Zhou Ling’er knew very well in her heart how vital the Heavenhold Divine Academy’s quota was to Zhou Junyi. If he couldn’t get it, he would have to stay as the third prince for the rest of his life here, which was something a person couldn’t accept.

As for her, Zhou Ling’er had no ambition. All she wanted was to treat her mother and live a peaceful life.

“Crown Prince is here!”

Suddenly, an announcement could be heard from the outside. Zhou Ling’er was surprised and quickly went out, with Chu Tong’er following behind.

At this moment, a handsome young man clad in a white robe walked into the palace with an amiable smile. His appearance could be described as elegant and proud to the bone.

He was the current crown prince, Zhou Xianyang.

“Little sister.” Zhou Xianyang smiled brightly when he saw Zhou Ling’er.

“Greetings, Brother Crown Prince. Please come in.” Zhou Ling’er said softly and led Zhou Xianyang into the reception hall.

After sitting down, Zhou Xianyang asked directly. “I heard that third brother makes trouble to you. Do you want me to take the pill back?”
