Chapter 576, Stirred

Translator: Silavin

 

As a High Elder of the Feng Family’s Alchemy Pavilion, Feng Lingzun naturally understood the value of Compound Pills better than anyone else.

 

“Hehe, Young Master Qin, I wonder if you might be willing to part with these Pill Formulas…”

 

Feng Lingzun coughed dryly and asked tentatively.

 

Any Force would find it impossible to take out Pill Formulas for sale. Therefore, he was actually somewhat puzzled by Qin Yichen’s actions.

 

This was clearly showing goodwill towards his Feng Family.

 

However, Feng Lingzun still did not understand why this unfamiliar young man would show goodwill to the Feng Family.

 

Moreover, most importantly, until now, he still knew nothing about the young man before him.

 

Regarding his question, Qin Yichen didn’t answer directly, but looked at him with a meaningful smile.

 

“Young Master Qin…”

 

Seeing Qin Yichen’s somewhat meaningful smile, Feng Lingzun was slightly stunned.

 

“Elder Feng, I see that the purpose of your trip isn’t merely to purchase Pill Formulas, is it?” Qin Yichen suddenly smiled.

 

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingzun narrowed his old eyes, pondered for a moment, and did not try to deceive him, nodding very honestly.

 

If it were only to purchase a few formulas, he naturally wouldn’t have come personally.

 

He had rushed here so urgently, even willing to ride a Demonic Beast at the fastest speed to reach the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, actually not just for these few Pill Formulas, but more importantly, as someone immersed in the Dao of Alchemy, he urgently wanted to know what kind of genius conception could have developed them!

 

“Hehe, Young Master Qin may be young, but your thoughts are truly deep. Indeed, I want to meet the Grandmaster who has developed these Pill Formulas. I wonder if Young Master Qin could help introduce me to them?”

 

Feng Lingzun laughed heartily, showing no embarrassment on his face.

 

After all, the effects and theory of Compound Pills were so shocking that even he, as a High Elder of the Feng Family’s Alchemy Pavilion, could only admire them. Having travelled countless distances to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, if he could meet the Grandmaster who developed the Compound Pill Formulas, this trip would not be in vain!

 

However, very soon, Feng Lingzun felt somewhat disappointed.

 

Because facing his request, Qin Yichen first smiled, then shook his head slightly.

 

“Is it not possible?”

 

A flash of disappointment appeared in Feng Lingzun’s eyes, and his tone became slightly heavier.

 

“It’s not that it’s not possible…”

 

Seeing Feng Lingzun’s disappointed appearance, Qin Yichen couldn’t help but chuckle: “Hasn’t Elder Feng already met him?”

 

“Already met?”

 

Hearing Qin Yichen’s words, Feng Lingzun was stunned, then he scratched his head and murmured: “Could it be that the Compound Pills were developed by the Shen Family?”

 

The Shen Family?

 

No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible.

 

If the Compound Pill Formulas were truly developed by the Shen Family by accident, then the Shen Family absolutely would not be as obscure as they were now.

 

“Eh…” Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Feng Lingzun suddenly raised his head to look at the young man before him: “Could it be… you?”

 

Although he said this, there was still some uncertainty in his tone.

 

Because Qin Yichen was really too young. Could a teenage boy develop such Heaven-defying Pill Formulas?

 

Feng Lingzun obviously did not believe it.

 

Fusing different medicinal properties together…

 

Countless people were doing this, but those who achieved results were extremely few.

 

Of course, it was not that two different medicinal effects could not be fused into one, but even if Pills were forcibly formed, the medicinal effects would be unsatisfactory. Some were worse, those who consumed them would suffer adverse effects due to conflicts between the two medicinal effects.

 

However, Pills refined according to the Compound Pill Formulas perfectly fused different medicinal effects together. Not only did they not repel each other, they even… complemented each other.

 

What an incredible thing this was.

 

This involved too many aspects—quantity, quality, properties of medicines… every aspect. The slightest error in any area would make it impossible to refine such perfect Pills.

 

How could a young man achieve this?

 

After the brief surprise, Feng Lingzun’s enthusiasm seemed to cool down. His brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze towards Qin Yichen became somewhat flickering.

 

His questioning gaze made Qin Yichen unconsciously touch his nose.

 

As someone who was also an Alchemy Master, he too understood that a teenage boy, no matter how talented, could not possibly develop Compound Pills.

 

But now, where could he find someone who had developed Compound Pill Formulas?

 

With Feng Lingzun’s knowledge, he would not be so easily fooled. But, these Compound Pill Formulas were indeed originally developed by him.

 

*Haaa…* Qin Yichen exhaled lightly, seeming to have decided something. As his palm turned, a thick medicinal herb resembling tree roots appeared in his hand.

 

“This is Black Demon Root.”

 

Feng Lingzun recognised this root-like thing.

 

This Black Demon Root was a special medicinal herb beneficial to the spirit, but it was extremely difficult to refine, even difficult to refine with Spiritual Flame.

 

Many Alchemy Masters went to great lengths to refine Black Demon Root, even going to volcanic areas to borrow the flames and high temperatures there for assistance.

 

However, this Black Demon Root was not particularly precious, so Feng Lingzun did not quite understand Qin Yichen’s intention.

 

However, in the next instant, after Spiritual Flame appeared between Qin Yichen’s fingers, a flash of astonishment appeared in his originally puzzled pupils. “Could it be that he wants to…”

 

Following his speculation, Qin Yichen placed the Black Demon Root into the Spiritual Flame.

 

The flame was not large, perfectly enveloping the entire Black Demon Root.

 

Most peculiar was that this Spiritual Flame did not emit any alarming temperature, and the flame did not burn very vigorously either. It looked just like an ordinary lamplight.

 

Feng Lingzun kept staring at Qin Yichen’s movements. Originally, when he saw this flame that had no temperature, he was somewhat disappointed, thinking that Qin Yichen was merely demonstrating his Spiritual Energy accomplishments.

 

Without borrowing anything, for a Fifth Grade Alchemy Master to ignite Spiritual Flame, his Spiritual Energy accomplishments would need to reach at least Mid Stage Mastery.

 

Obviously, even if Qin Yichen possessed Mid Stage Mastery Realm Spiritual Energy at such a young age, it could not arouse Feng Lingzun’s interest in the slightest.

 

Immediately, he became even more disappointed with Qin Yichen.

 

Claiming credit, dishonest.

 

This was Feng Lingzun’s first impression of Qin Yichen.

 

Because he felt that Compound Pills could not possibly have been developed by Qin Yichen, yet Qin Yichen had claimed the credit, which made him, someone devoted to the Dao of Alchemy, feel disgusted.

 

Even if Qin Yichen was showing goodwill to his Feng Family, he had no favourable feelings towards such a credit-claiming person.

 

And now, Qin Yichen was showing off his meagre Spiritual Energy accomplishments before him… wait.

 

As if discovering something, Feng Lingzun, who had originally been disappointed and wanted to leave, suddenly narrowed his pupils and fixed his gaze deadly on that lamplight-like flame.
