Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 1888 - 1889: Ode to the Winds (Part 19)

"Brother Bai seems to be in a good mood recently. In the past, you wouldn’t have attended such exchange conferences. What made you decide to come this time?" a middle-aged Saint asked beside Bai Lingtian.

Hearing this, the other Saints present also expressed their curiosity. Bai Lingtian, however, appeared to be in a good mood as if something joyous had happened.

"In my opinion, Brother Bai has made a breakthrough in the martial arts realm and may not be far from the Heavenly Realm. Once Brother Bai becomes a martial artist of the Heavenly Realm, we would no longer call him Brother Bai but would add the term ’Senior’ in front, thus addressing him as Senior Bai."

Bai Lingtian merely wore a constant smile on his face and said nothing, which drew all the gazes of the surrounding Saints to him.

"You all shouldn’t speculate wildly. As for breaking through to the Heavenly Realm, it’s but a distant aspiration for me at the moment," Bai Lingtian said.

"If it’s not about a martial arts breakthrough, then what could it be? Brother Bai, you shouldn’t evade the question."

Many voiced their disbelief, as breaking through to the Heavenly Realm was a major event. Entering this level would first change one’s status in Luohé City.

Luohé City had plenty of Saints but very few in the Heavenly Realm. It had been over a hundred years since a new powerhouse of the Heavenly Realm appeared.

The reason for Bai Lingtian’s elation was naturally because Ye Qiu was living in his house, as Ye Qiu was a divine-grade alchemist.

If Ye Qiu made further progress, Bai Lingtian would have the potential to become a martial artist of the Heavenly Realm.

This was an advantage that other Saints did not possess.

Bai Lingtian did not plan to keep this matter a secret. He knew that Ye Qiu had some tensions with a few scions from the Fang family, Xiahou family, and even the Zhang family. They would find out sooner or later, even if he said nothing.

At this exchange venue, Saints from these families were all present. If he managed to resolve this tension for Ye Qiu, naturally, Ye Qiu would feel grateful to him.

Therefore, he needed to announce this. If the Fang family, Xiahou family, and Zhang family knew about Ye Qiu’s identity as a divine-grade alchemist, they would surely be willing to reconcile.

Thinking of this, Bai Lingtian coughed lightly, "Cough, cough... do you really want to know?"

"Of course, stop beating around the bush."

"What’s the matter anyway?"

These Saints were on good terms with Bai Lingtian, so naturally, they spoke rather bluntly.

"I’ve recently befriended a divine-grade alchemist; do you think this is worth my happiness?" Bai Lingtian smiled at them as he spoke.

"A divine-grade alchemist?"

Saints around were slightly surprised by the news from Bai Lingtian.

"A divine-grade alchemist can at most produce divine-grade pills, which is undoubtedly beneficial and without harm for martial artists below the Saint Realm. But for us Saints, it’s somewhat useless, right? Even divine pills can’t help us break through to the Heavenly Realm."

"Brother Bai, are you really happy because of this? Alas..."

Though the surrounding Saints were surprised, it was only slight. While divine-grade alchemists were hard to find, given their prowess as Saints, it wasn’t tough to locate one, and even requesting the refining of divine pills wasn’t impossible.

The key was that divine pills offered limited help to them as Saints.

This was why the Saints were somewhat disappointed. If it were an immortal-grade alchemist, that would be different; but a divine-grade alchemist was somewhat lacking.

Bai Lingtian observed the expressions of the Saints but did not become angry. They were unaware of Ye Qiu’s importance due to not knowing him.

After adjusting his mood, Bai Lingtian spoke again softly, "What would you say if I told you this divine-grade alchemist friend of mine isn’t even thirty yet? Would you still think I shouldn’t be happy?"

"Hehe... a divine-grade alchemist under thirty? It’s just a divine-grade alchemist, not worth—" The person stopped midway, suddenly chewing over what he’d just said.

A divine-grade alchemist under thirty...

The other Saints didn’t initially pay attention, but hearing ’under thirty’, their expressions all changed, and they all gathered around Bai Lingtian.

"Brother Bai, we are comrades who have faced life and death together. Can you introduce us to this young divine-grade alchemist?" Immediately, a big bearded man cheerfully said.

"I recall you owe me a top-level cultivation technique. Back then, we bet on it, and you still haven’t paid up," Bai Lingtian replied with a smile.

"I’ll pay, I’ll pay, right now. Brother Bai, you must introduce me to this genius alchemist." The big bearded Saint said with a big smile.

Besides this Saint, the other Saints also expressed their eagerness to meet the divine-grade alchemist whom Bai Lingtian mentioned was under thirty.

Previously, they hadn’t cared because advancing as an alchemist was so challenging. Especially at a high level, it was akin to trying to climb to the heavens.

The path of alchemy differed from martial arts. It required talent in the Alchemy Dao; otherwise, even spending time would be of little use. Many alchemists, with beards nearly reaching their waists, were still only mid-grade due to their lack of talent in alchemy.

Such examples were not uncommon.

Alchemy indeed relied heavily on talent.

But when Bai Lingtian mentioned the divine-grade alchemist he knew was under thirty, it hinted at unlimited potential.

Reaching the level of a divine-grade alchemist by thirty, what about ten years later, or twenty? Perhaps becoming an immortal-grade alchemist wasn’t impossible.

No wonder Bai Lingtian was in high spirits. Making the acquaintance of such a potential-laden divine-grade alchemist, in the future, would his martial arts constraints even be an issue?

An immortal pill could certainly resolve it, right?

On the Origin Continent, saint pills were easy to find, divine pills hard to seek, and immortal pills rare.

This illustrated just how rare immortal pills were, mainly due to the very few possessing immortal-grade pill refining techniques and the daunting materials required for making immortal pills. The potential for failure further contributed to their scarcity, resulting in immortal pills being regarded as exceedingly rare, great medicines. It wasn’t uncommon for a Saint to never see one in their lifetime.

A divine-grade alchemist under thirty, tsk tsk... such an alchemy talent is truly against the heavens, isn’t it.

The Saints present had never heard of such a young divine-grade alchemist. The ones they knew were elderly; someone under thirty would truly be an extraordinary prodigy, right?

Surrounded at the center, Bai Lingtian seemed to be the only way for them to meet this young divine-grade alchemist he spoke of.

"Aren’t you supposed to guide the younger generation? This matter could wait, couldn’t it?" Bai Lingtian suggested.

"Guidance can wait. Nothing is more important than meeting that divine-grade alchemist."

"Isn’t it inappropriate?"

"There’s nothing inappropriate. Brother Bai, just honestly tell us where the divine-grade alchemist is."

Bai Lingtian was being surrounded and was reluctant to tell them so swiftly that the divine-grade alchemist was right here. As Bai Lingtian searched for Ye Qiu’s figure, he suddenly froze.

Since when did Ye Qiu come face to face with Zhang Yunke?
