Chapter 2761 - Recruitment


Chapter 2761: Recruitment

Duan Ling Tian was not stupid. He, naturally, knew Long Fei Yun intended to obtain a prominent pill cauldron for him by giving up on the Duke Grade Celestial Weapon.

“Brother Duan, there’s still some time before the Wasteland Grand Contest… Don’t try to talk me out of it, I’ve made up my mind.” Long Fei Yun shook his head. Then, he turned to Long Dong Ping and said in a clear voice, “Father, I’ve made up my mind to exchange the Duke Grade Celestial Weapon for a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron.”

“Since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll grant you your wish!” Long Dong Ping agreed and did not say anything to dissuade Long Fei Yun since Long Fei Yun had made up his mind. Moreover, he had been quite reluctant to reward this son of his with a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon anyway. However, since he had publicly made that promise, he had no choice to reward Long Fei Yun with the Duke Grade Celestial Weapon. As an emperor, he could not go back on his words after all. He was, naturally, more than happy to grant his son’s request and swap the Duke Grade Celestial Weapon for a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron. In fact, even if his son had requested for two prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons, he would still happily obliged.

In Long Dong Ping’s opinion, although a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron was valuable, it could not compare to a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon. Most importantly, prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons were just a display in the hands of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom’s Imperial family. They had no use for it at all. The Duke Grade Celestial Weapon, on the other hand, was a different story.

When Long Dong Ping passed down his decree to reward Long Fei Yun with a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron instead of a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon, the crowd in Xu Rong Palace broke out in a commotion again.

“Heavens! The thirteenth prince really swapped a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon for a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron!”

“I didn’t think he was serious. I was certain he would change his mind. Who knew he’s so determined to swap a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon for a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron?”

“I don’t know what he’s thinking… The prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron is of no use to him, right?”

“Does he plan to use a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron to attract a prominent Celestial Alchemist to his service?”

“You really let your imagination run wild, didn’t you? What kind of person do you think a prominent Celestial Alchemist is? How could a prominent Celestial Alchemist be tempted by a mere prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron?”

“That’s true! A prominent Celestial Alchemist would not be tempted by a mere prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron. Not even a Celestial Alchemist who has just obtained a prominent Celestial Fire would be tempted. It’s easy for a prominent Celestial Alchemist to obtain a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron after all.”

The people in the main hall of Xu Rong Palace could not understand Long Fei Yun’s actions. They thought he must have lost his mind. No prominent Celestial Alchemist would be tempted by a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron. After all, prominent Celestial Alchemists could easily obtain prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons. They could easily join any one of the Three Major Sects in the Wasteland and become an elder. Why would they covet a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron when there was an abundance of prominent Celestial Pill Cauldrons in the three major Celestial Sects?

Similarly, Long Xiang Yun and Long Qing Yun thought Long Fei Yun was foolish.

“I don’t understand him at all… How can he be so stupid?”

“Does he think he’ll be able to gain father’s favor by doing this and obtain father’s approval to contend for the throne? Naive!”

Naturally, Long Xiang Yun and Long Qing Yun had no intention of dissuading Long Fei Yun as well. They were pleased to see Long Fei Yun commit what they thought was a big mistake.

‘Why does he want a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron?’ If there was anyone who was clear-headed in the main hall, it was Zhou Shu Qiu, the third miss of the Zhou clan. She looked at Long Fei Yun skeptically. Based on her understanding of Long Fei Yun, she knew he was not a reckless person and would not make such a foolish mistake. ‘He must have a use for the prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron…” Although she did not know the reason, she was certain Long Fei Yun had a reason for doing this.

Long Fei Yun remained unbothered when faced with everyone’s skeptical and ridiculing gazes. Naturally, he knew would suffer a loss, but he did not regret it. First, he had promised to help Duan Ling Tian obtain a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron. Second, by helping Duan Ling Tian, he could further deepen his relationship with Duan Ling Tian. In his opinion, it was far more beneficial for him to have a good relationship with Duan Ling Tian than to possess a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon.

“Thirteenth prince…” Although Duan Ling Tian knew about Long Fei Yun’s intention, he was still moved. As Long Fei Yun said earlier, there was still some time before the Wasteland Grand Contest. It would take a while for him to get his hands on a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron unless he revealed himself as a prominent Celestial Alchemist to the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect.

‘Did I choose the longer path? In fact, I don’t have to join today’s selection or the Wasteland Grand Contest, I can easily join the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect as long as I reveal that I’m a prominent Celestial Alchemist… As long as I ask for it, let alone a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron, I can probably obtain a Duke Grade Martial weapon from the Martial Dragon Celestial Sect as well. Moreover, even if I don’t participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest, I can still fulfill my promise to Brother Pei and enter the small world left by a Celestial King.’ Duan Ling Tian did not think of this earlier because he did not expect to become a prominent Celestial Alchemist so soon.

In the end, Duan Ling Tian decided to stop dwelling on the matter. ‘Let it be… Since I’ve chosen to participate in the Wasteland Grand Contest, I’ll continue down this path. Meanwhile, I can start refining prominent Celestial Pills now that I possess a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron.’

The selection for the winning Mansion continued after the winning prince had been decided.

The winning Mansion was the Sky Song King’s Mansion. The representative who helped them win was an Indigo Sun Golden Celestial younger than 100 years old even though he was weaker than Feng Wu Ji Guang.

The King of Grand Prestige Mansion muttered under his breath, “Damn it! If I knew the thirteenth prince had a hidden trump card, I wouldn’t have sent Feng Wu Ji Guang to the seventh prince. Not only did I fail to help him become the winning prince, but I lost the chance to become the winning mansion as well!”

The King of Grand Prestige Mansion was a middle-aged man with a face full of beard. His expression was as dark as coals at this moment. He had sent Feng Wu Ji Guang to represent the seventh prince to curry favor. Who knew the plan would backfire on him? Not only did he fail to curry favor with the seventh prince and paved the way to the throne for him, but he had also lost the chance of becoming the winning mansion by doing so. How could he not feel gloomy and aggrieved?

After the winning prince and winning mansion were chosen, the selection soon ended.

Before leaving Xu Rong Palace, Long Fei Yun handed the prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron to Duan Ling Tian.

“Thank you, thirteenth prince.” Duan Ling Tian thanked Long Fei Yun as he put the prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron away. After obtaining the prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron, he no longer wanted to waste time in Xu Rong Palace. He wanted to return to Long Fei Yun’s residence so he could try to refine prominent Celestial Pills. However, before he could leave, he was stopped by someone.

“Oh, so you’re the reason why the thirteenth prince gave up a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon in exchange for a prominent Celestial Pill Cauldron.” The person who stopped Duan Ling Tian was none other than Zhou Shu Qiu, the third miss of the Zhou clan.

Duan Ling Tian calmly said, “Why are you paying so much attention to me? Do you have the same hobby as your younger sister and intend to bring me back to the Zhou clan or the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect to become your boy toy?”

“D*mn you! What nonsense are you spouting?” Zhou Shu Qiu stared at Duan Ling Tian with blushing cheeks. Her indifferent expression had vanished as she glared at him fiercely. After she calmed down, she said, “Duan Ling Tian, I hope you’ll consider joining the Thousand Spiders Celestial Sect after the Wasteland Grand Contest.” She did not beat around the bush and instantly tried to recruit Duan Ling Tian.
