Chapter 504, A Talk

The Manor Master arrived at the chair by the window and sat down, pointing at the seat in front, he said to Qin Yichen. “Sit down.”

 

To receive such treatment from him showed how much weight Qin Yichen held in his heart.

 

It must be understood that within the Alchemy Manor, those Alchemy Masters, even Elders, absolutely would not receive this kind of treatment.

 

Looking at the young man before him, as if remembering something, the Manor Master’s smile deepened.

 

Qin Yichen’s performance at the Alchemy Duel could only be described as brilliant.

 

To be honest, even the Manor Master himself could not see through the Technique he used. He was not even clear on exactly how Qin Yichen had blocked that final attack.

 

Only those of the Spiritual Rupture Realm could withstand it.

 

This was the reason for the White Cloud Alchemy Manor Master’s absolute confidence in winning this time.

 

For the younger generation, reaching the Spiritual Rupture Realm was nearly impossible. Moreover, even if there were such amazing talents, they definitely would not appear in the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor.

 

After all, the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor did not have the foundation to nurture exceptional talents.

 

If Qin Yichen had not appeared, the White Cloud Alchemy Manor Master’s plan would certainly have succeeded.

 

So, what the Manor Master was most curious about now was… Qin Yichen’s background.

 

“This is what you deserve.” The Manor Master took out two jade boxes and placed them before Qin Yichen.

 

“The Flaming Heart Fruit and Heaven Silkworm Spirit Cocoon!” Qin Yichen’s eyes flashed with excitement, and without hesitation, he put the jade boxes away.

 

With the Flaming Heart Fruit, plus the Heaven Silkworm Spirit Cocoon, he had the confidence in breaking through to the Spiritual Rupture realm.

 

[Qianxue, wait for me…] He silently gripped the jade box in his hand. Thinking of Feng Qianxue’s situation, the joy of obtaining the Flaming Heart Fruit and Heaven Silkworm Spirit Cocoon turned hollow.

 

The person he felt most guilty towards in his previous life was Feng Qianxue. If the tragedy were to repeat itself…

 

Looking at Qin Yichen whose expression kept changing, the Manor Master was completely bewildered.

 

Especially the worry on Qin Yichen’s face.

 

[Why would receiving these two treasures, comparable to Medicine King Grade Spirit Herbs, be such a depressing matter for him?!]

 

“Manor Master, I want to attend the upcoming Alchemy Manor Summit!”

 

As if having made some decision, Qin Yichen opened his eyes and said firmly to the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor Master.

 

His goal was not actually the Alchemy Manor Summit. Rather, it was the place where the Alchemy Manor Summit was being held… the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City!

 

On this continent, the Humans had Six Grand Imperial Dynasties stationed in various regions.

 

The region where Qin Yichen was located belonged to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty.

 

Normally, going to the Imperial City would be an extremely risky endeavour for him. One small mistake, and he would be crushed to dust. But for Feng Qianxue, he could not care about such concerns.

 

Given time, he could even break through to higher realms within a few years.

 

By that time, even going to the Feng Family would be a sure thing, but Feng Qianxue’s situation could not wait.

 

Qin Yichen knew very well what kind of person Ouyang Haotian was.

 

“Uh…” The Manor Master had been thinking about how to ask Qin Yichen to attend the Alchemy Manor Summit. He never expected Qin Yichen to propose it himself.

 

[Could he be from some Family in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City?] The Manor Master narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly searching through his memory for all information about families with the surname Qin, but found nothing.

 

He was certain there was no notable Qin Family in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City. Because he himself came from the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, only being dispatched to serve as the Manor Master of the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor. So, of course he had some understanding of the Forces in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City.

 

“Manor Master, have the positions already been decided upon?” Seeing him silent for so long, Qin Yichen frowned and asked.

 

“No.” The Manor Master came to his senses and shook his head. “A position can be given to you.”

 

On this matter, he was of course more than willing.

 

“Thank you, Manor Master.” Qin Yichen sighed in relief.

 

The Alchemy Manor Summit occurred once every ten years. If he missed this one, he would have to wait another decade.

 

By that time, Qin Yichen would have no chance to enter the Feng Family’s sight.

 

The Feng Family was the wealthiest Family even amongst the Six Grand Imperial Dynasties, possessing power beyond ordinary imagination.

 

The Ouyang Family was once a Major Force in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, but due to certain reasons, it had declined, falling from the ranks. However, the Ouyang Family was still quite a strong Force within the Imperial Dynasty, wielding great influence.

 

Qin Yichen’s journey this time would certainly offend the Ouyang Family; this was beyond doubt. But he could not think about too much now; it was impossible to please everyone.

 

“Are you… are you from my Ten Corner Region?” The Manor Master hesitated but still asked.

 

“Of course.” Qin Yichen nodded.

 

The Manor Master fell silent.

 

He could feel that the young man before him was not lying. Moreover, before summoning Qin Yichen, he had already investigated some matters about him.

 

If Qin Yichen truly came from some Major Force in the Imperial City, he would not need to join the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor to attend the Alchemy Manor Summit.

 

But could the Ten Corner Region really have a Force with resources capable of nurturing such an amazing talent?

 

To be honest, Qin Yichen had not displayed much of his strength. Even the Manor Master himself had not fully understood his depths. However, he had interrogated the assessment invigilator about the three tests.

 

If what happened was all true, then perhaps… he really could shine at the Alchemy Manor Summit!

 

“Do you know the rules of the Alchemy Manor Summit?” The Manor Master asked.

 

“I’ve heard of them.” Of course he knew. In his previous life, Qin Yichen had come to know Feng Qianxue after standing out at the Alchemy Manor Summit.

 

“Do you have any other requirements? The Alchemy Manor will try to meet them if possible,” The Manor Master said thoughtfully after looking at him.

 

He was referring, of course, to the Pill Furnace.

 

In his view, Qin Yichen’s Pill Furnace was really… somewhat unsuitable for viewing. How could one achieve good results at the Alchemy Manor Summit without a good Pill Furnace? If Qin Yichen performed outstandingly, his status would naturally be elevated.

 

“Yes.” Qin Yichen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately listed the materials needed to refine the Flaming Heart Pill.

 

“These materials aren’t difficult to obtain.” The Manor Master was slightly surprised. After agreeing, he summoned Shen Ling and instructed her to prepare them. Then, he asked puzzledly, “Don’t you need to change your Pill Furnace?”

 

“My Pill Furnace?” Qin Yichen shook his head. [Is he joking? I can’t replace my Pill Furnace with anything here. Even if you offered me a Heaven Grade Pill Furnace, I would still refuse. Without this small Pill Furnace, things will not go as smoothly.]

 

“You…”The Manor Master originally wanted to persuade him but after a moment, he shook his head and bitterly smiled.

 

He did not force Qin Yichen to change his mind. He believed Qin Yichen was not a rash person. If he refused, it was certainly because he had a better Pill Furnace.

 

He did not believe that a Force capable of nurturing an amazing talent like Qin Yichen would not have a decent Pill Furnace.
