In front of the Spiritual Refinement Array, the crowd gradually fell silent. Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the same line of the Spiritual Refinement Ranking. They were all waiting to see if Qin Yichen could break Zhao Ritian’s record.
Suddenly, the ranking moved. Qin Yichen, who was originally in sixty-fifth place, suddenly jumped up three ranks to sixty-second place.
Without doubt, this meant Qin Yichen had already entered the Fourth Heaven Ninth Layer!
“Heavens, what kind of monster is he?!” Seeing this scene, someone exclaimed in shock.
“Is he really just a New Apprentice?” Various voices continued to spread around.
However, what shocked everyone more was that Qin Yichen had yet to emerge from the Spiritual Refinement Array!
Could it be that he wanted to continue persisting?!
One minute passed…
Two minutes passed…
Ten minutes passed…
Qin Yichen still had not come out from the Spiritual Refinement Array.
The atmosphere in front of the Spiritual Refinement Array kept changing, with commotion arising.
It was worth noting that even Zhao Ritian had barely managed to break through to the Fourth Heaven Ninth Layer, but now, this undoubtedly showed that Qin Yichen’s talent surpassed Zhao Ritian!
Huyuan Songqing’s expression kept changing. He clearly understood what this represented. Similarly, An Huaming, who was not far away, looked even worse.
Without doubt, Qin Yichen would certainly catch the eye of the Alchemy Tower’s higher-ups, and in the future, it would not be easy to move against him.
“I don’t believe you’ll stay in the Alchemy Tower forever!” An Huaming left in anger.
Obviously, taking action against Qin Yichen within the Alchemy Tower was no longer realistic. As for getting the Alchemy Tower to eliminate Qin Yichen? That was even more impossible.
What a joke, he was someone with talent more monstrous than Zhao Ritian.
As time passed, the area in front of the Spiritual Refinement Array gradually grew quiet again.
Everyone was speculating whether Qin Yichen could reach the Fifth Heaven.
About a quarter hour later, the Spiritual Refinement Ranking changed again, and at the same time, a figure appeared in front of the Array…
“Spiritual Refinement Ranking thirty-first place… One Star Apprentice, Qin Yichen! Spiritual Refinement Array Fifth Heaven First Layer!”
When everyone looked again at that somewhat dishevelled, pale-faced figure, their eyes were filled with shock.
He had not only broken Zhao Ritian’s record but even surpassed Zhao Ritian!
<Ding, congratulations on breaking through the Spiritual Refinement Array First Heaven, receiving reward points…>
<Ding, congratulations on breaking through the Spiritual Refinement Array Second Heaven, receiving reward points…>

<Ding, congratulations on breaking through the Spiritual Refinement Array Fifth Heaven, receiving reward points…>
Soon, people discovered that Qin Yichen, who was originally a One Star Apprentice, had become a Three Star Apprentice.
The Contribution Points in Qin Yichen’s Alchemy Card had become 1073, just enough to reach Three Stars.
*Whew…* Glancing at the ranking, Qin Yichen let out a long breath, his lips curling slightly upward.
Finally, he would have his own independent courtyard.
In the Dormitory, there were many things he dared not do, he could not even practise Alchemy in peace. After all, there were too many eyes around.
Having his own independent courtyard would naturally make things much more convenient.
This was also why he insisted on breaking through to the Fifth Heaven.
“Qin Yichen, come with me.” Afterwards, Elder Xiao Lin led Qin Yichen away, leaving the crowd behind in a wave of commotion.
From now on, no one would dare underestimate Qin Yichen.
…
In Elder Xiao Lin’s small courtyard, Qin Yichen sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating the Spirit God Technique to recover his Spiritual Energy.
Elder Xiao Lin sat nearby, not interrupting him.
After a full half hour, Qin Yichen opened his eyes, his gaze noticeably brighter.
“Oh?” His quick recovery surprised Elder Xiao Lin greatly. It was worth noting that when Zhao Ritian came out of the Fourth Heaven Ninth Layer, he had to lie down for three full days before he could walk.
But looking at Qin Yichen’s condition, he seemed to have already recovered!
The speed of Spiritual Energy recovery was undoubtedly linked to the Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique being practised. Based on the current situation, Qin Yichen’s technique must be at least be Earth Grade or above!
In the entire Northern Region, there was only one Low Earth Grade Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique, and it was the Alchemy Tower’s inherited technique, which only each generation’s Alchemy Tower Master was qualified to practice.
Where did Qin Yichen get an Earth Grade Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique from!?
The more he learned, the more Elder Xiao Lin discovered that there were too many secrets surrounding this youth.
“About the Clear Mind Pill, I’ve spoken with Deacon Min…” Suppressing his shock, Elder Xiao Lin took the initiative to speak. Obviously, he no longer treated Qin Yichen as just an Apprentice or a Junior.
Qin Yichen was not surprised by this.
“Moreover, I’ve recommended you to Deacon Min to replace me representing the Northern Region’s Alchemy Tower at the Alchemy World Summit!”
“Alchemy World Summit?” Qin Yichen was clearly startled. He certainly knew what the Alchemy World Summit was. Thus, he did not expect Elder Xiao Lin to value him so highly, to be willing to step aside for him, a Junior.
At the same time, he also understood Elder Xiao Lin’s intentions.
However, with his current cultivation, going to the Alchemy World Summit would still be too soon…
Those who appeared at the summit were all the strongest ‘young’ Alchemists of each region.
Like Zhao Ritian from the Northern Region.
Although he surpassed them in experience and mastery of Spiritual Energy, his Spiritual Energy cultivation was currently his weakness.
“You don’t have much time, so Deacon Min has specially permitted you to enter the Ten Thousand Precipice Tower to cultivate, with no time limit!”
Hearing this, Qin Yichen’s eyes lit up. The Ten Thousand Precipice Tower was the best place to cultivate Spiritual Energy.
Apprentices entering would be deducted one Contribution Point per hour, and if they cultivated there for a month continuously, several hundred Contribution Points would be gone.
Even Four Star and Five Star Apprentices could not afford it. Only those who obtained summit spots were given special exceptions.
In his previous life, Qin Yichen had not participated in the Alchemy World Summit because he started too late. Even so, he knew that if one won at the summit, the rewards were extremely generous.
Of course, besides those rewards, Qin Yichen’s main reason for wanting to win was to announce the Compound Pill at the summit. Once that was done, he would become the biggest beneficiary.
Moreover, he would definitely receive the Alchemy Tower’s full protection then, and he would not have to worry about his personal safety.
At that time, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce would absolutely become the Northern Region’s greatest Business Alliance!
He needed too many resources, such as Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones. If he wanted to cultivate the Heavenly Lightning Body, the amount needed would definitely be terrifying.
With the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce’s current income, one kilogram of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones would be enough to bankrupt the Business Alliance, let alone making large-scale purchases.
But if they could occupy some market share in the Central Province, things would be different.
