Chapter 930, Mutual Deception

Translator: Silavin

 

“Qin Yichen?”

 

“Sacred Master Candidate Qin?”

 

Looking at the approaching Qin Yichen, surprise flashed through the eyes of the various representatives. His reputation throughout the Sacred Land territories was extremely resounding. They naturally recognized him.

 

Qin Yichen’s ability to slay Ling Tuyai proved he possessed the talent to become a Saint!

 

They all held positions of status, but even so, they dared not rely on their seniority at this moment.

 

“Worthy of being Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s Sacred Master Candidate. Such bearing is truly extraordinary!”

 

“Strange. He’s clearly a Mid Stage Martial Emperor, yet why do I feel a sense of oppression from him?”

 

Gaze after gaze scrutinized Qin Yichen closely.

 

After a moment, these important figures suddenly came to their senses. They had come to exchange for Compound Pill Formulas. Why had this Sacred Master Candidate come?

 

Although the Sacred Master Candidate’s status was extraordinary, for this matter, Brilliant Sky Sacred Master should appear personally, or at the very least the Pill Hall Master should come, right?

 

However, those who came here were all people of status and substance from various Forces. They were quite sensible and did not show this confusion on their faces. One by one, they approached with smiling faces.

 

“Hehe, Sacred Master Candidate Qin, we’ve already prepared the Withered Frost Grass…”

 

A crowd of lofty figures now wore faces full of smiles as they spoke to Qin Yichen. On their faces was practically written one huge question: ‘Where’s the promised Pill Formula?’

 

“*Ahem!* Everyone, well…” Qin Yichen cleared his throat dryly, his face showing a bit of embarrassment. After glancing at everyone, his gaze fell on the boxes piled up in the hall.

 

Seeing such a massive quantity of Withered Frost Grass, a subtle gleam flashed through his eyes.

 

These people truly had extraordinary foundations. In just ten short days, they had actually collected so much Withered Frost Grass!

 

At this moment, Qin Yichen finally understood why Brilliant Sky Sacred Master had kindly let him rest for a day.

 

“*Haaa…* You brought so much Withered Frost Grass… to be honest, in the past few days, several Sacred Land Seniors also brought lots of Withered Frost Grass.” Watching Qin Yichen sigh, everyone in the hall’s expressions changed. The same thought arose in their minds, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land had changed their mind?

 

[Damn… then why did we collect so much useless Withered Frost Grass for!?]

 

“Truth be told, the Hall Master just asked the Sacred Master, who decided that Withered Frost Grass can only be exchanged for at most two Pill Formulas…”

 

Qin Yichen took in everyone’s changing expressions, his face full of guilt as he spoke.

 

“At most two Pill Formulas!? I specifically collected forty thousand stalks of Withered Frost Grass this time!”

 

“Heavens, our Heartless Sect also collected thirty thousand stalks!”

 

“Our Blazing Fire Sect bought up all the Withered Frost Grass in the nearby territories. A full forty-five thousand stalks!”

 

Hearing Qin Yichen’s words, exclamations immediately rang out. Important figure after important figures wore faces full of anger, yet they did not dare go too far.

 

It seemed Brilliant Sky Sacred Land also felt exchanging Compound Pill Formulas for Withered Frost Grass was too much of a loss, so they temporarily changed their mind to only exchange at most two Pill Formulas. Even so, two Pill Formulas were what countless Forces dreamed of obtaining.

 

“Sacred Master Candidate Qin, what do you suggest? We purchased so much Withered Frost Grass, and your Sacred Land suddenly says they won’t exchange for them. Won’t we suffer a severe loss?”

 

“Exactly, Sacred Master Qin. This thing is not like other Spirit Herbs, it can’t be returned!”

 

“Indeed. We specifically collected all the Withered Frost Grass from our own territories. If word gets out, won’t our Sect lose all face?!”

 

Seemingly seeing the guilt on Qin Yichen’s face, quite a few important figures’ hearts stirred. They revealed their emotions. Since he was so young, he must be inexperienced, and an easy target to bully!

 

Immediately, important figure after important figure began complaining, describing their grievances, practically demanding he take responsibility for them.

 

Under this barrage of complaints, Qin Yichen seemed unable to bear the shame. That young face turned so red it seemed blood might drip from it. Seeing this, those important figures secretly laughed to themselves.

 

As expected, he was just a Junior. Even with outstanding talent, so what? He understood nothing of human nature and worldly affairs. Actually, even if he ignored them, wouldn’t they still have to swallow this loss?

 

“*Haaa…* Everyone, this is Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s mistake…” Under numerous gazes, Qin Yichen sighed lightly, his face full of indignation.

 

“Sacred Master Candidate Qin! In the future, you might very well become the Brilliant Sky Sacred Master. You must seek justice for us!”

 

“Indeed, Sacred Master Qin. Our Blazing Fire Sect has been affiliated under your esteemed Sacred Land for over a hundred years. Our loyalty to the Sacred Land is as clear as the Sun and the Moon!”

 

Seeing Qin Yichen’s appearance, those important figures could barely restrain themselves from laughing aloud.

 

“Everyone, Seniors, say no more. You decide how this matter should be handled!” Under the words of numerous old foxes, the indignation on Qin Yichen’s face finally transformed into righteous conviction. His stance seemed to align with these important figures.

 

“Brilliant Sky Sacred Master probably had him come to remind us. But, that old Yu Qianqiu probably never imagined his own Sacred Master Candidate would be so inadequate!”

 

Seeing Qin Yichen’s expression, the important figures’ hearts leaped with joy. Immediately, several important figures exchanged glances, forcibly suppressing their laughter as they bitterly pleaded. “Please, Sacred Master Qin, seek justice for us. We dare not hope for anything else. At the very least, let your esteemed Sacred Land buy back this Withered Frost Grass.”

 

“Indeed, Sacred Master Qin. We dare not ask for too much. We’re willing to sell it to your esteemed Sacred Land at half the purchase price!”

 

Upon these words, some important figures who had not reacted quickly immediately brightened and hurriedly chimed in.

 

It was not that they could not afford to lose this Withered Frost Grass. But the person they were now teasing might very well be the future Brilliant Sky Sacred Master!

 

Just thinking about how they had ‘bullied’ the future Brilliant Sky Sacred Master was an incredibly exciting thing!

 

“Fine, say no more! Everyone came from afar. This Withered Frost Grass… on behalf of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, I’ll accept it all!”

 

As expected, under their complaints, Qin Yichen waved his hand grandly and spoke quite magnanimously.

 

“The Sacred Master is wise! Surely a future renowned Master!”

 

“Brilliant Sky Sacred Land will surely flourish and expand under Sacred Master Candidate Qin’s leadership!”

 

Seeing this, numerous important figures laughed heartily, flattery flowing endlessly.

 

In the end, all the important figures in the hall only kept twenty thousand stalks of Withered Frost Grass to exchange for Compound Pill Formulas. The rest was all purchased by Qin Yichen at a cheap price.

 

“Haha… everyone, the wait is over!”

 

Just as Brilliant Sky Sacred Land Disciples finished moving away the Withered Frost Grass that Qin Yichen had purchased, Dan Xuanzi’s laughter suddenly rang out.
