Chapter 518, Stable Realm

“Ah, you’ve arrived? Please, sit.” The Manor Master of Ten Corner Alchemy Manor, surrounded by an ocean of bookshelves, slowly opened his tightly closed eyes as Qin Yichen stepped in, chuckling as he spoke.

 

Qin Yichen respectfully nodded his head, sat down directly on the floor, and then asked, “Manor Master, why have you called for me? Do you have instructions for me?”

 

“Well, instructions wouldn’t be the right word.” The Manor Master of the Alchemy Manor smiled, his gaze scanning Qin Yichen up and down before saying with a smile. “You must have just broken through to the Spiritual Rupture Realm, correct?”

 

“Yes.” Qin Yichen nodded, as there was nothing to hide about this matter.

 

“Did you consume the Flaming Heart Fruit?” When asking this, the Manor Master’s voice trembled a little.

 

“Yes.” Qin Yichen blinked his eyes, he still nodded but was confused why the Manor Master was asking this when he had clearly stated it before.

 

Upon seeing Qin Yichen nod, even though the Manor Master was mentally prepared, he still could not help but feel waves of shock surging in his heart.

 

Perhaps others only theoretically knew how difficult it was to absorb the Flaming Heart Fruit, but as someone who had experienced it himself, he truly understood that even after absorbing the Flaming Heart Fruit, breaking through the restrictions of the Divine Soul Bead to reach the Spiritual Rupture Realm was no simple task!

 

Otherwise, he would have given the Flaming Heart Fruit to Shen Ling long ago.

 

“…I had already decided that you would represent our Ten Corner Alchemy Manor at the Alchemy Manor Summit, but…” The Manor Master shook his head, appearing hesitant.

 

After hesitating briefly, the Manor Master sighed softly and said, “You’ve already broken through to the Spiritual Rupture Realm, and I’m sure you know that having just lost the protection of your Divine Soul Bead, although your Spiritual Energy has increased enormously in terms of volume and strength, your Spiritual Body is more fragile than ever.”

 

“Your breakthrough is too recent, and there’s less than a month until the Alchemy Manor Summit. Why not wait for the next Alchemy Manor Summit? By then, you’ll certainly have a place!”

 

If Qin Yichen were at the Peak Spiritual Flow Realm, letting him attend the Alchemy Manor Summit might yield limited results, but he should have no problem protecting himself.

 

But now that he had broken through to the Spiritual Rupture Realm, the Manor Master could not remain as calm as before.

 

Before fully stabilising his cultivation realm, attending the Alchemy Manor Summit would be risky. If something unexpected happened, it would be a severe blow to Ten Corner Alchemy Manor!

 

“You need not worry. I also need to attend this upcoming Alchemy Manor Summit!” However, faced with his dissuasion, Qin Yichen shook his head and answered firmly.

 

Although he understood what the Manor Master was worried about, and the fact was just as he had said, if he waited ten years before attending the Alchemy Manor Summit, he would certainly be well-prepared.

 

But he did not have much time.

 

Feng Qianxue’s situation weighed on his mind like a massive boulder, and with Ouyang Haotian being an unpredictable powder keg that could explode at any time, he could not wait that long.

 

He needed to attend the Alchemy Manor Summit and use the reputation gained there to elevate his status!

 

*Haaa…* Seeing Qin Yichen’s firm attitude, the Manor Master could only sigh softly.

 

Although before their conversation, he had anticipated this response, since Qin Yichen himself had proposed attending the Alchemy Manor Summit, it was clear that he greatly valued this coming event.

 

However, he did not understand why Qin Yichen was so eager to attend the Alchemy Manor Summit.

 

“Manor Master, please don’t worry, my cultivation realm has already stabilised.” Although the latter’s concern was partly due to Ten Corner Alchemy Manor, as a Manor Master, his care for him still warmed Qin Yichen’s heart. He smiled as he spoke to alleviate his worries.

 

“It has already stabilised!?” Hearing these words, the Manor Master was startled and asked with an incredulous expression.

 

Qin Yichen did not say much more, but directly willed a subtle wave of Spiritual Energy to sweep out. Under this Spiritual Energy, there was not the slightest sense of instability!

 

“This…” As someone also in the Spiritual Rupture Realm, the Manor Master naturally perceived the strength of this Spiritual Energy. It had only been a few days, yet this young man had not only broken through to the Spiritual Rupture Realm but had also stabilised his cultivation realm!

 

It was worth noting that when he himself had broken through to the Spiritual Rupture Realm, despite consuming countless cultivation-stabilising Pills, it had taken him a full four to five years to stabilise his Spiritual Body!

 

[Just what kind of monster is he?] A terrifying thought suddenly arose in the Manor Master’s mind.

 

“Manor Master, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City first.”

 

Finally, Qin Yichen cupped his hands, and under the astonished gaze of the Manor Master, slowly withdrew.

 

The Ten Corner Region was quite distant from the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City; even a Martial King, flying without interruption would need a full month to reach it!

 

Fortunately, with Gongshu Zhiyi’s wooden bird, Qin Yichen was fully confident he could reach the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City within ten days.

 

After bidding farewell to Tian Liang, he directly arranged for Zhao Yaorou to stay at Ten Corner Alchemy Manor, which surprised her greatly. She never expected to receive special attention from a Grand Adviser!

 

Afterwards, after preparing some consumables, Qin Yichen, Gongshu Zhiyi, and Lu Xiaoguan left Ten Corner Ancient City without alarming anyone and set off for the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City!

 

Riding on Gongshu Zhiyi’s wooden bird, their flying speed was comparable to that of a Peak Martial King.

 

At this speed, Qin Yichen was not too concerned about time. Every day before sunset, following Gongshu Zhiyi’s wishes, they would land and rest whenever they spotted a sizable city.

 

Each time Qin Yichen entered a city, he caused quite a stir. By now, he was wearing the Fifth Grade Alchemy Master robe issued by Ten Corner Alchemy Manor.

 

Seeing the young Qin Yichen wearing a Fifth Grade Alchemy Master robe, countless people’s eyes filled with surprise and envy.

 

After entering each city, Gongshu Zhiyi would drag Qin Yichen and the miserable-looking Lu Xiaoguan through the local streets on shopping sprees. In just this short time, Gongshu Zhiyi had naturally tapped into the shopping instinct inherent to women.

 

After leisurely travelling like this for a full half-month, the vague outline of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City finally appeared in the trio’s vision.

 

Even from a distance of nearly a hundred kilometres, the majestic city walls made the entire city appear like a crouching behemoth, seizing one’s breath away!

 

Qin Yichen was not unfamiliar with this city.

 

Returning to this very city once more, Qin Yichen felt deeply moved.

 

In the past, many events had occurred in this city, some of which were unforgettable to him.

 

It was also in this city that he met the woman who had touched his heartstrings, Feng Qianxue!
