Chapter 710, Generous Compensation

Translator: Silavin

 

Before long, a white-haired elderly man was invited to the Gathering Space Crystal House.

 

“It’s Chairman Wen!” From the murmurs of those around him, Qin Yichen learned that this white-haired elder was the chairman of the Alchemy Guild in Open Mysteries City, and simultaneously, a close friend of that Master Chang.

 

Even more onlookers gathered.

 

“This time, in the competition for Shooting Star Spirit Crystals, Gathering Space Tower achieved a great victory.”

 

“Of course, in this region, only the Gathering Space Tower has a Peak Stage Martial Emperor stationed here!”

 

“But it seems Gathering Space Tower’s win was hard won, doesn’t it?”

 

“Even if they obtained that amazing meteorite, losing Master Chang is unacceptable for the Gathering Space Tower.”

 

“If his injuries cannot be contained, I’m afraid Master Chang won’t survive the day…”

 

Before long, that white-haired Chairman Wen descended from upstairs, his expression melancholic as he spoke to several Gathering Space Tower experts.

 

Immediately, the assembled Gathering Space Tower experts erupted into chaos.

 

“Quickly, go fetch the Branch Master!”

 

A person resembling a manager ordered one of the Gathering Space Tower experts.

 

Shortly after, the Branch Master of Gathering Space Tower’s Open Mysteries City branch arrived at this location.

 

However, his complexion appeared somewhat unsightly, deathly pale even.

 

“Branch Master, you—”

 

“We’ll speak upstairs.”

 

He spoke, striding directly toward the upper floor, with the Gathering Space Tower members following behind.

 

Qin Yichen stood not far away, his gaze fixed continuously on that Branch Master.

 

“It seems this Peak Stage Martial Emperor has also been severely injured…” He muttered thoughtfully.

 

Qin Yichen could not quite understand what kind of meteorite could cause a Peak Stage Martial Emperor to sustain such grievous wounds.

 

Moreover, he sensed that this Branch Master’s injuries were actually not much lighter than Master Chang’s. However, since this Branch Master cultivated Martial Arts, his Physique was considerably stronger than Master Chang’s.

 

But judging from the Branch Master’s unsteady footsteps, his injuries were severe.

 

In fact, Qin Yichen estimated he might be in a similar state to Master Chang. If the wounds could not be contained, he would face the danger of death!

 

As expected…

 

Soon, that Gathering Space Crystal House manager descended from upstairs once again.

 

“Everyone!”

 

Following his voice, the originally noisy scene quieted down. Only then did the Gathering Space Crystal House manager continue, “This time, our Gathering Space Tower’s Master Chang has been unexpectedly injured. Whoever can heal Master Chang’s wounds will be rewarded by our Gathering Space Tower with one Peak Grade Spirit Seed, and furthermore, will be regarded as a distinguished guest of our Gathering Space Tower!”

 

*Whoosh!*

 

Immediately, the entire scene exploded into commotion.

 

“A Peak Grade Spirit Seed!?”

 

This was something many would not even dare dream about.

 

Moreover, they could also possess the status of being a distinguished guest of the Gathering Space Tower. That was an even more extraordinary perk.

 

Even Qin Yichen’s eyes brightened at this.

 

He had been genuinely worried about how to become their VIP.

 

After all, he hadn’t yet opened his Divine Eyes. To extract ten Peak Grade Spirit Seeds, those odds were infinitesimally small.

 

Treating injuries sounded much easier than extracting ten Peak Grade Spirit Seeds.

 

However, since Gathering Space Tower offered such amazing rewards, obviously Master Chang’s injuries were certainly far from ordinary.

 

Furthermore, Qin Yichen had also observed that even the Open Mysteries City Alchemy Guild Chairman was at his wit’s end, which further confirmed his speculation.

 

Nevertheless, he still had to try.

 

Because he absolutely must utilize their Transport Array!

 

Moments later, many people had left this place, while simultaneously many arrived. Most were Alchemy Masters. Gathering Space Tower turned none away, leading them all upstairs to diagnose Master Chang.

 

However, Qin Yichen was not anxious.

 

He and Long Qingyao stood outside the crowd, chatting sporadically, though his gaze continuously monitored the situation there.

 

Soon, those people descended with worried expressions, and several even had deathly pale faces.

 

*Bang!*

 

Suddenly, an Alchemy Master who had just descended from upstairs directly collapsed to the ground, convulsed several times, then immediately died, frightening those nearby into hastily stepping back.

 

“But he had merely touched Master Chang’s wrist…”

 

One Alchemy Master who had just descended from upstairs murmured, his eyes filled with terror, though more prominently, relief.

 

Relief at not having made contact with Master Chang!

 

As his words fell, immediately those several people with deathly pale faces became even paler. Before long, another person collapsed. Although he did not die on the spot, he could not even stand up.

 

Moreover, judging from his attire and Medal, he was actually an Earth Grade Alchemy Master!

 

This scene immediately terrified many people. Some who were originally heading upstairs scrambled back down.

 

The Gathering Space Crystal House manager’s expression also turned ugly. Subsequently, he signaled Gathering Space Tower experts to carry those two away.

 

When carrying them away, no one dared touch their bodies, as if avoiding a plague.

 

Due to this incident, the originally fervent atmosphere rapidly cooled…

 

After all, compared to that Peak Grade Spirit Seed and Gathering Space Tower VIP status, one’s own life was more important.

 

The Gathering Space Crystal House manager sighed, looking at those retreating people. Gritting his teeth, he announced, “As long as someone can contain Master Chang’s injuries, they can obtain three Peak Grade Spirit Seeds!”

 

The crowd erupted into commotion again.

 

This time, not only were the number of Peak Grade Spirit Seeds increased to three, one only needed to be able to contain the injuries.

 

Compared to earlier, it was incomparably better.

 

However, even with such tempting rewards, few people stepped forward.

 

Those who did were all Earth Grade Alchemy Masters!

 

“*Tsk tsk* The Gathering Space Tower is really wealthy and powerful. To offer three Peak Grade Spirit Seeds merely to contain one man’s injuries…” Long Qingyao beside Qin Yichen also exclaimed in wonder.

 

Qin Yichen’s lips curved into a faint smile as he glanced at her.

 

This silly girl’s perspective on such matters was truly superficial.

 

Even though the reward had already tripled, Qin Yichen still did not move.

 

He understood clearly that the reward would definitely increase further!

 

Because the Gathering Space Tower needed to save not only Master Chang, but also their Branch Master!

 

Even though the Branch Master’s cultivation had reached Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm, the injuries sustained this time were obviously very special. If they could not be contained, he would likely be unable to escape death as well!

 

Therefore, the Gathering Space Crystal House manager would currently offer compensation that seemed inconceivable to everyone.

 

A Peak Stage Martial Emperor. The Gathering Space Tower definitely could not afford to lose him!

 

Soon, those Earth Grade Alchemy Masters from earlier also shook their heads and descended. Judging from their expressions, they had probably just gone to take a look without actually making contact with Master Chang.
