An old man came to the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.
This old man looked no different from any other old man. After arriving at the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, he inquired everywhere about information regarding Soul Martial Artists.
However, there was no news. After all, in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, there was truly no known Soul Martial Artist.
“Strange, that anomaly should have appeared in the direction of the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty…” The old man muttered to himself, confusion welling up in his eyes.
But everyone said there was nothing here.
“Could he be hiding? Or was he taken by someone else?” The old man speculated, then inquired about the general location where the anomaly appeared.
He arrived at Spreading Cloud City, and still, he received no news about the Dragon Martial Soul cultivator. However, he did learn one name that stood out… Qin Yichen.
Although this person was not a Dragon Martial Soul cultivator, his rise had been extremely quick. He cultivated both Alchemy and Martial Arts, making him a supreme genius.
“Could it be him?” The old man decided to first find Qin Yichen.
The Eight Millennial Families were not idle either. They were all searching for the same person… a Dragon Martial Soul cultivator.
However, there were still no clues. They did not even know that the person in question was unaware of this search. The person in question had never consciously activated his Martial Soul, so others naturally had no way to investigate.
Thus, the Central Province was in turmoil. The Eight Millennial Families had not given up their search, because of how important this matter was to them.
…
The Alchemy Tower Master had returned and he summoned the four Deacons.
He had pondered for a long time… but still could not remember what the matter was about. He only vaguely remembered that the exceptionally important old man had entrusted him with something important. It was just… he truly could not recall exactly what it was…
“Is there something you’ve called me here for?” After awakening from his contemplation, he asked the four Deacons.
The four Deacons were speechless. “…”
[Clearly, you were the one who called us here!]
Obviously, their forgetful Tower Master had definitely forgotten what the matter was about. Sadly, they were already used to this. In fact, this was not the first time.
“Tower Master, I have found a candidate for the summit.” Deacon Min stepped forward to say.
Qin Yichen’s first results from the Spiritual Refinement Array had come out, and he felt that they could really let him try.
“Is it the Zhao kid?” The Alchemy Tower Master was not even paying attention. Instead, he just fiddled with his own matters.
The Zhao kid he mentioned naturally referred to Zhao Ritian. From his perspective, among the younger generation in the Northern Region’s Alchemy Tower, he had the greatest talent.
“It’s someone else.” Deacon Min shook his head, and only after the Tower Master’s gaze swept over did he continue, “It’s a new Apprentice… Qin Yichen!”
“New Apprentice?” The Alchemy Tower Master’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Deacon Min, “Old Min, have you lost your mind? How can a newcomer participate in this important summit?”
Faced with his and the other three Deacons’ strange looks, Deacon Min stood in place without speaking.
Of course, the three Deacons had also heard something about Qin Yichen.
Talent was just that, talent. Without sufficient strength, going to the summit would completely waste the Northern Region Alchemy Tower’s spot.
However, Deacon Min did not explain his reasoning for recommending Qin Yichen. Instead, he just stood silently in place.
Subsequently, the Alchemy Tower Master dismissed the other three Deacons.
“Tell me, what’s the real reason?” The Tower Master trusted this Deacon, whom he had personally promoted.
“Tower Master, please take a look at this.” Deacon Min took out a jade bottle and handed it to him.
Inside was a Clear Mind Pill that Elder Xiao Lin had refined.
The Tower Master opened the bottle cap, sniffed it slightly, then exclaimed in surprise, “This scent is a bit strange…”
“Tower Master, this is Elder Xiao Lin’s Clear Mind Pill.” Deacon Min explained to him.
“Clear Mind Pill!?” The Tower Master’s eyes brightened, and he immediately took out the Pill and swallowed it.
He had once spent a long time working on the Clear Mind Pill. However, he could never figure it out, and finally had to give up.
“It really works.” After a while, the Tower Master opened his eyes.
Soon, Deacon Min told him everything.
“A Compound Pill?” The Tower Master stroked his chin, seeming to ponder various possibilities, mumbling, “What an interesting kid.”
Even he had never heard of Compound Pills before. He believed that such Pills absolutely did not exist on this continent. Otherwise, with his status, he would definitely have received news of such a thing.
Therefore, this Compound Pill was very likely not as Deacon Min had speculated. It was not passed down to Qin Yichen by others. Rather, it must have been something Qin Yichen had figured out himself.
In that case, Qin Yichen was not just a genius, he was an unparalleled prodigy!
“I understand now. We shall do as you say.” He immediately gave his approval.
He was also looking forward to Qin Yichen giving him a surprise at the summit. More importantly, give those other old fossils who liked to mock him a surprise!
…
On another side, Bian Lingzhu returned to her Family.
“One kilogram of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones?”
The An Family Elder immediately spat out his tea.
Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones, at market price, one kilogram already reached a million silver coin. In the black market, the price was even higher.
“Just for a mere Yuan Healing Pill, and not even the formula, you are willing to exchange for one kilogram of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones!?” He widened his eyes.
“That’s what he said.” His reaction did not surprise Bian Lingzhu.
“That kid thinks too highly of himself!” The BiAn Family Elder snorted disdainfully, saying, “Just a kid from a third rate dynasty wants to cooperate with my BiAn Family? He should know his own place.”
“Grandfather, on his first entry into the Spiritual Refinement Array, he reached the Fifth Heaven!”
Bian Lingzhu’s next words made him spew out another mouthful of tea.
“Wh…what? Fifth Heaven!?” He stared at Bian Lingzhu with wide eyes.
This BiAn Family Elder was Bian Lingzhu’s Grandfather, Bian Qingshan.
Although he had never joined the Alchemy Tower, he was still clear about the situation inside. He naturally understood what this represented.
This meant that, barring accidents, Qin Yichen would one day become an Alchemy Tower Elder, at the very least. He might even become a Deacon.
Now, he could not help but take this seriously.
If the BiAn Family could have another Elder or Deacon in the Alchemy Tower, their position in the Central Province would be greatly elevated.
“In any case, I still can’t make the decision on my own, after all this amount is too large…” Bian Qingshan’s expression became solemn.
This matter was something only the Patriarch could decide.
However, currently, the BiAn Family Patriarch’s attention was entirely focused on finding that Dragon Martial Soul cultivator. So, who knows if he would listen to them?
If he knew that the person was right in front of him yet he failed to notice, who knows what he would think.
“The HuyuAn Family is really too overbearing, even openly kidnapping people from my BiAn Family!” In the main hall, the BiAn Family Patriarch Bian Qingfei was raging.
It turned out that several Soul Martial Artists, who had awakened in the BiAn Family territory, had been forcibly taken away by the HuyuAn Family. How could he not be angry about this!?
After all, what if that Dragon Martial Soul cultivator was among them!? Would that not make all his effort go down the drain?.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. However, he had no way to deal with the HuyuAn Family. After all, their foundation was deeper than his BiAn Family.
