Chapter 600, Clay Pot

Translator: Silavin

 

Qin Yichen seemed to feel nothing at all regarding the Startling Dragon Cauldron that had caused such a tremendous commotion. He appeared somewhat lackadaisical as he stood on the stone platform, not even glancing at it once.

 

[I’m being ignored!?] One could imagine Qian Zhengchen’s state of mind.

 

Actually, speaking of it, the reason he had even brought out the Startling Dragon Cauldron showed that deep down, he still held some wariness towards Qin Yichen.

 

The Startling Dragon Cauldron was a safeguard.

 

Bringing out this Heaven Grade Pill Furnace meant that what Qian Zhengchen intended to refine was certainly not some Fifth Grade Pill.

 

He intended to refine a Sixth Grade Pill!

 

Many people’s hearts could not help but tremble.

 

Qian Zhengchen was planning to directly eliminate everyone!

 

As long as he successfully refined a Sixth Grade Pill, there would basically be no competition.

 

Seeing this scene, the Alchemy Masters on the other stone platforms could not help but bitterly smile.

 

Originally, they still harboured that sliver of hope in their hearts, but now it was shattered.

 

At the same time, this also made them realise the gap between themselves and Qian Zhengchen.

 

One must understand that by the same logic, those that were not Human Grade Alchemy Masters could not refine Fifth Grade Pills. The same principle applied to Sixth Grade Pills.

 

If Qian Zhengchen was preparing to refine a Sixth Grade Pill, that meant he had successfully refined one before!

 

Even if he relied on this amazing Pill Furnace, being able to refine Sixth Grade Pills was sufficient proof of how extraordinarily talented he was!

 

“That young man from the Qian Family is truly terrifying. His future achievements will certainly surpass both of ours.” On the high platform, Chen Yun could not help but sigh with emotion.

 

Although Dan Xuan did not speak, he clearly agreed with her words.

 

When the two of them were Qian Zhengchen’s age, they still could not refine Sixth Grade Pills.

 

“That young man surnamed Qin has such tough luck. His Alchemy Technique is exceptional, but unfortunately, he lacks a good Pill Furnace… Eh? Where is his Pill Furnace?”

 

Chen Yun was sighing when she shifted her gaze to Qin Yichen’s stone platform, only to discover that there was no Pill Furnace placed in front of Qin Yichen, which could not help but make her freeze.

 

“He didn’t prepare a Pill Furnace?” After carefully scanning the entire venue again, Chen Yun was even more bewildered.

 

Originally, yesterday, after witnessing Qin Yichen’s Divine Alchemy Technique, she felt that Qin Yichen was the only person who could be mentioned in the same breath as Qian Zhengchen, but now…

 

Soon, more people discovered this anomaly.

 

Nine Pill Furnaces had all been carried onto the stone platforms, yet only Qin Yichen’s front remained without a Pill Furnace, making him appear too unique to ignore.

 

Originally, some people speculated about who had given up, which was why they had not even prepared a Pill Furnace, but no one expected that the person who had not prepared a Pill Furnace was Qin Yichen.

 

“He wouldn’t still be planning to use that broken thing of his, would he?” In the crowd, Shen Fangu saw this scene and could not help but have the corner of his mouth twitch.

 

Qin Yichen did not disappoint him.

 

When many people thought he had not prepared a Pill Furnace, he pulled out that small Pill Furnace from within his sleeve…

 

Immediately, everyone in the entire venue was dumbfounded.

 

This included Chen Yun.

 

Dan Xuan had originally thought that the small Pill Furnace concealed mysterious secrets and was Qin Yichen’s prepared trump card, but after he swept it with his Spiritual Energy and discovered it was indeed just an old and broken ordinary Pill Furnace, deep confusion emerged in his eyes.

 

“Can someone tell me what he just pulled out?” Someone in the crowd asked.

 

Indeed, compared to the other nine Pill Furnaces, that small Pill Furnace was simply like a broken piece of junk picked from a rubbish heap.

 

Calling it broken junk was not an exaggeration at all. Because on its surface were obvious cracks, and its dusty grey appearance made it look like a discarded clay pot.

 

“What is he up to now?”

 

“Could he be planning to use that clay pot to refine Pills?”

 

Many people were completely bewildered, unable to fathom Qin Yichen’s thoughts at all.

 

Surrender?

 

After going through so many incidents, no one would still think that Qin Yichen was the type to surrender.

 

It was so at the Water Moon Crystal House. It was also so yesterday.

 

“Well, he certainly knows how to steal the spotlight…”

 

A laughing curse was heard, and immediately, waves of cheerful laughter spread through the crowd.

 

It must be said that originally, almost everyone’s attention had been focused on the Heaven Grade Pill Furnace in front of Qian Zhengchen, but now they were all speculating about Qin Yichen’s intentions.

 

“Truly incomprehensible!” After scanning the small Pill Furnace for a while and discovering nothing, Qian Zhengchen could not help but snort.

 

“Is that Pill Furnace really that good?” In the entire venue, only Shen Ling alone did not underestimate that small Pill Furnace.

 

When Qin Yichen first brought out this small Pill Furnace, it was at their Ten Corner Alchemy Manor. At that time, Shen Ling was just like these people now, completely bewildered and unable to understand Qin Yichen’s intentions.

 

However, after being in contact with Qin Yichen for so long, she understood one thing clearly: Qin Yichen would absolutely not do anything he was not confident about.

 

[Could it be that Qin Yichen truly could not find a better Pill Furnace? No, that can’t be it. With his current wealth, purchasing an Earth Grade Pill Furnace would be easy. This means that he believes that this small Pill Furnace is his best choice. But Qian Zhengchen had brought out a Heaven Grade Pill Furnace. Could his small Pill Furnace be even better than a Heaven Grade Pill Furnace?]

 

[But, the cracks on that small Pill Furnace are so obvious. Even if this small Pill Furnace might be a Heaven Grade Pill Furnace, with those cracks, it would only be equivalent to an Earth Grade Pill Furnace. Unless…]

 

As if thinking of something, Shen Ling’s pupils could not help but contract fiercely, her gaze falling directly on Qin Yichen, who appeared completely composed.

 

[Unless that small Pill Furnace’s original Grade is far higher than the Heaven Grade!?] Soon, Shen Ling shook her head, shaking this unrealistic thought from her mind.

 

[Higher than Heaven Grade would be a Sacred Artifact! Since if it is a Sacred Artifact, how could it possibly be cracked? Perhaps he has his own plans.]

 

Soon, after the Pill Furnaces were carried onto the stone platforms, various materials were also inspected by people from Alchemy Council and brought onto the stone platforms.

 

Immediately, various rare Spirit Fruits and medicinal herbs caused waves of gasps.

 

Clearly, for this Alchemy Manor Summit, they had all prepared extensively. In front of Qian Zhengchen, two Medicine King Grade materials had already been placed.

 

“He… truly intends to refine a Sixth Grade Pill.”

 

Pills that used two or more Medicine King Grade materials were undoubtedly Sixth Grade Pills.

 

However, when they almost instinctively looked towards Qin Yichen, a huge contrast formed again… because in front of this fellow Qin Yichen, up until now, there was still absolutely nothing!

 

“What exactly is he…” Shen Fangu was nearly driven mad by the torment. In the end, he could only sigh, “Damn it. Even at a time like this, he always makes one’s heart race…”

 

While everyone was speculating about Qin Yichen’s intentions, Qin Yichen turned his gaze towards the distance.

 

He was waiting.

 

Waiting for Xing Yuhuan to deliver what he needed.
