Chapter 492, The Identity of the Green-Robed Woman

Translator: Silavin

 

[Damn it! I’ve been played! But I could not possibly say that!!]

 

After all, according to what the Manor Master of Ten Corner Alchemy Manor knew, this Pure Flame Furnace did not belong to the person before him.

 

It seemed that, in order to obtain a Flaming Heart Fruit, this person had gone to great lengths, even borrowing this Peak Earth Grade Pill Furnace.

 

That important figure smiled with delight, believing that the Flaming Heart Fruit was already as good as his.

 

However, amongst the crowd, there was one person who was even happier than him.

 

That person was Qin Yichen!

 

His purpose for entering the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor was precisely for the Flaming Heart Fruit.

 

But he had never imagined that someone would foolishly bring him another gift!

 

The Heaven Silkworm Spirit Cocoon!

 

Now that was a treasure.

 

Although this item was not something that could directly increase Spiritual Energy, it could help refine Spiritual Energy!

 

This was exactly what Qin Yichen needed most.

 

His Spiritual Energy had increased very rapidly, which made it somewhat unstable, and he had not had the time to have it settle down and properly refine his Spiritual Energy, as he had focused all his energy on advancing his cultivation realm.

 

This was, in fact, a significant hidden danger.

 

If not for Qin Yichen’s exceptional control over his Spiritual Energy, this hidden danger would have become unmanageable long ago.

 

If he could obtain this Heaven Silkworm Spirit Cocoon, then he would have no concerns whatsoever about charging towards higher realms!

 

Although tempted, Qin Yichen was not in a hurry.

 

Besides, even if he were in a hurry, it would not help.

 

This was because, ahead of him, too many young Alchemy Masters were rushing towards the platform to compete.

 

If the Manor Master had not been presiding over the event, the scene would have certainly spiralled out of control. After all, the attraction of those two treasures was simply too great.

 

However, that important figure and the few young people behind him watched this scene with cold smiles and mockery.

 

This scene also made the Manor Master furrowed his brows.

 

Indeed, in a relay battle, Ten Corner Alchemy Manor had the confidence to win.

 

But this was an Alchemy Duel!

 

Moreover, the opponent’s Spiritual Energy could be amplified twofold!

 

If they were to engage in a relay battle, wouldn’t Ten Corner Alchemy Manor be left with nothing but a group of defeated warriors?

 

This was equivalent to trading Ten Corner Alchemy Manor’s future for a single Heaven Silkworm Spirit Cocoon!

 

The Manor Master closed his eyes, and after a moment, let out a light sigh.

 

He could only admit defeat.

 

“Those that are not Human Grade Alchemy Masters, step down!” The authoritative voice came from the Manor Master’s mouth and echoed throughout the venue.

 

“This…” Many young Alchemy Masters who did not understand the reason were bewildered. Although they felt somewhat unwilling, they dared not disobey the Manor Master’s order.

 

The crowd quickly retreated.

 

On the platform, not many remained.

 

After all, how many could become a Human Grade Alchemy Master at such an age? Even a Family like the Duan Family, who specialised in Alchemy, had only managed to nurture a single Duan Zihai with all their efforts.

 

What was left?

 

Eleven people.

 

That was to say, Ten Corner Alchemy Manor possessed eleven young Human Grade Alchemy Masters.

 

This was the foundation of Ten Corner Alchemy Manor.

 

It should be noted that within the Grand Empire, the Alchemy Central only had two Human Grade Alchemy Masters! Furthermore, both of them were both old!

 

To say it was a difference like that between Heaven and Earth would not be an exaggeration.

 

In terms of numbers, Ten Corner Alchemy Manor had more than twice as many.

 

“Go and bring the Thousand Water Crane Cauldron.”

 

The Manor Master did not immediately order them to begin, but instead spoke to the two Grand Advisers.

 

“Hmm?”

 

Yuo Hua and Dong Yang looked at him in astonishment. After a moment, when their gaze turned to the furnace brought out by the important figure, they seemed to understand something. The two of them exchanged glances and quickly left.

 

Thousand Water Crane Cauldron!

 

It was Ten Corner Alchemy Manor’s most treasured furnace, a High Earth Grade Pill Furnace.

 

“Haha, the Manor Master has brought out the Thousand Water Crane Cauldron. It seems he is determined to obtain the Heaven Silkworm Spirit Cocoon!”

 

Some people who did not understand the truth were still cheering, and those young Human Grade Alchemy Masters also revealed smiles. But they did not notice that the important figure and those few young Alchemy Masters behind him were looking at them as if they were fools.

 

*Thud!…* A moment later, the Thousand Water Crane Cauldron was carried and placed on the platform by the two Grand Advisors, making a loud noise as it was set down.

 

Just in terms of appearance, the Thousand Water Crane Cauldron was completely superior.

 

After all, the Pure Flame Furnace looked so unremarkable.

 

…

 

“Aren’t you going?” At some point, the Young Lady, in green robes, had come to Qin Yichen’s side again.

 

“Sure, should we go together?” Originally, she was just asking casually, but she hadn’t expected Qin Yichen to agree immediately, which caught her off guard.

 

“Oh. Okay. Let’s go.” It was not until Qin Yichen urged her that she responded with an ‘Oh. Okay’ and the two of them walked towards the platform together.

 

“Hmm?” Soon, people noticed Qin Yichen’s action, and immediately revealed unusual expressions.

 

The reason was simple: the Manor Master had said that only Human Grade Alchemy Masters could participate in this competition!

 

If Qin Yichen went up, did that not mean he was a Human Grade Alchemy Master!?

 

If he truly was a Human Grade Alchemy Master, then things were not so simple.

 

He was too young.

 

In fact, he was probably the youngest among everyone there.

 

And everyone knew how difficult it was to nurture a Human Grade Alchemy Master. Therefore, it was very likely that behind this young man was an unusual Force.

 

If that was the case, his choice to have Tian Liang recommend him to enter Ten Corner Alchemy Manor was somewhat intriguing.

 

This was equivalent to openly challenging the Eastern Overcast Sect!

 

Looking at Qin Yichen who had walked up, Dong Yang’s expression was not very pleasant, and there was a flash of cold light in his slightly narrowed eyes.

 

He already harboured killing intent.

 

He no longer needed to know whether what happened during that assessment was true or false. Just the fact that Qin Yichen was so young yet already a Human Grade Alchemy Master was enough to make him develop killing intent.

 

Such a person was definitely a huge hidden danger. And for hidden dangers, the best method was to nip them in the bud!

 

Qin Yichen, who had walked onto the platform, merely gave a calm glance at Dong Yang standing beside the Manor Master, showing neither fear nor surprise.

 

The Eastern Overcast Sect might technically bear no personal grudge against him, but in his previous life, he had been tormented nearly to death by the person before him!

 

He had even been forced to leave the Ten Corner Region.

 

“This girl…” Looking at the two people who had walked up, the Manor Master merely gave Qin Yichen a brief glance before fixing his gaze on the green-robed Young Lady. The corners of his mouth moved imperceptibly, and the worry on his face also diminished somewhat.

 

Seemingly feeling his reproachful gaze, the Young Lady wrinkled her nose at him.

 

This gesture of hers fell into Qin Yichen’s eyes, and suddenly a thought struck him, [Could she be related to the Manor Master? If she is related to the Manor Master, then everything would make sense. No wonder even the people from the Eastern Overcast Sect had to give way to her!]

 

Come to think of it, he should have realised earlier. [Apart from the Manor Master, who else could make the Eastern Overcast Sect, which had someone hold the position of Grand Advisor, yield!?]
