Chapter 603, Reckless Waste of Heavenly Gifts?

Translator: Silavin

 

Under Qin Yichen’s precise control, all the materials had been completely and simultaneously refined.

 

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

 

These materials were exceedingly precious and rare. Although Xing Yuhuan had exerted all his effort to collect them, he had only managed to obtain enough for a single Pill. Fortunately, during the refinement process, no unexpected incidents had occurred.

 

In the audience seats, Qin Yichen’s Alchemy Technique had left countless spectators dazzled. Perhaps some people did not understand Alchemy. Still, from Qin Yichen’s flowing and natural movement, they found it pleasing to the eye.

 

Nevertheless, it had to be said that Qin Yichen’s Pill refinement speed was truly astonishingly fast!

 

Shen Ling had also just refined her own Pill at this time. Observing Qin Yichen’s speed, a trace of delight could not help but appear on her pretty face.

 

[Hmph! So what if he is quick at refining the materials? Just based on his ability alone, can he refine a Sixth Grade Pill!?] On the stone platform to Qin Yichen’s side, Qian Zhengchen’s expression was somewhat gloomy. However, regarding the final outcome, he was filled with confidence, because Ouyang Haotian had long ago told him about Qin Yichen’s true background.

 

He was a mere youth from a small kingdom. No matter how great the opportunities he had encountered, how could he compare with him?

 

After completing the material refinement, Qin Yichen rested for a brief second, then concentrated again. He took out a jade bottle from his bosom, slowly tilted the bottle mouth, and immediately, a drop of crystalline liquid fell down.

 

That drop of crystalline liquid suspended before Qin Yichen. Although small in volume, the energy fluctuations contained within it were not to be underestimated.

 

This crystalline liquid was naturally from the Peak Grade Spirit Seed that Qin Yichen had obtained from the Water Moon Crystal House!

 

Upon seeing this drop of liquid, on the high platform, Dan Xuan and Chen Yun’s expressions changed. They naturally recognised what this drop was, and they were even clearer about what Grade of Pill Qin Yichen intended to refine if he combined three Medicine Kings with this substance!

 

That was ‘Spirit Liquid’!

 

In the audience seats, someone could not help but cry out in surprise. Upon hearing the words ‘Spirit Liquid’, the confusion in the eyes of those who had previously been puzzled completely transformed into deep shock!

 

Spirit Liquid from a Spirit Seed had a market value that had already reached one million gold coins per drop, and Qin Yichen’s actions suggested he intended to use this Spirit Liquid as an auxiliary material for Alchemy!!

 

After pouring out approximately ten drops, Qin Yichen flicked his finger, and that cluster of crystalline liquid smoothly floated out. Finally, under countless envious gazes, it fell into the Pill Furnace.

 

The crystalline Spirit Liquid had just fallen into the Pill Furnace when the energy contained within it directly caused waves of disturbance within the furnace.

 

Sensing the unusual activity in the Pill Furnace, Qin Yichen’s brows furrowed slightly. Then, with a thought, his Spiritual Energy enveloped the cluster of refined medicinal liquid and merged it with this cluster of crystalline Spirit Liquid.

 

However, the medicinal liquid refined from those fifty-plus precious medicinal herbs was obviously not that easy to fuse together, harder when added with the Spirit Liquid.

 

The moment the two made contact, a violent energy suddenly surged from both substances, then fiercely collided with the inner walls of the Pill Furnace. Immediately, a crisp resonant sound spread out, clearly echoing in everyone’s ears.

 

Simultaneously, the Pill Furnace before Qin Yichen also shook violently twice. Under this kind of trembling, no one doubted that the furnace would directly explode in the next instant.

 

This was simply reckless waste of such Heavenly materials! Three Medicine Kings! And Spirit Liquid worth ten million gold coins!

 

Seeing this scene, waves of anguished cries continuously arose from the audience seats.

 

So many precious medicinal materials, plus ten drops of Spirit Liquid! This could be described as a priceless experiment. If such precious items were wasted like this, no one could remain calm.

 

Qin Yichen gazed at the Pill Furnace with a grave expression, watching the two clusters of liquid continuously churning within. During this churning, violent energy fluctuations constantly rippled outward.

 

*Bang! Bang!*

 

Wave after wave of energy fluctuations continuously struck the inner walls of the Pill Furnace. The crisp sounds echoed endlessly throughout the entire square. At this moment, almost everyone knew that Qin Yichen’s refinement seemed to have encountered some problems.

 

What puzzled them was that this crisp resonant sound had already continued for the duration it took to drink tea. Yet, that shabby-looking Pill Furnace still had not exploded. Even the cracks on the furnace’s surface showed no signs of expanding.

 

This situation was extremely peculiar.

 

One should know that from those sounds alone, one could discern how terrifying that impacting force was, yet that unremarkable small Pill Furnace had actually withstood it all.

 

That kind of energy fluctuation would probably be unbearable even for ordinary Earth Grade Pill Furnaces.

 

It seems like that unremarkable Pill Furnace was far from simple!

 

Gazing at the Pill Furnace before Qin Yichen, Chen Yun murmured in a somewhat grave tone.

 

“*Hee hee* I’m afraid that his Pill will truly give us a pleasant surprise.”

 

Beside her, Dan Xuan’s aged eyes flickered with shrewd light. That kind of violent fluctuation was not something just any Pill could emit.

 

He had already guessed that Qin Yichen was refining a Sixth Grade Pill!

 

Moreover, judging from the materials alone, it was definitely a Pill superior to Qian Zhengchen’s.

 

“Fangu, what should we do? Qin Yichen is…”

 

In the audience seats, an Elder from the Shen Family gazed at the stone platform and asked in a low voice.

 

“What can we do? This is the Alchemy Manor Summit. How could external assistance be permitted here?” Shen Fangu sighed softly and said. “Right now, we can only hope for the best. The Pill he’s refining is probably at minimum a Perfect Fifth Grade Pill. Alchemy inherently involves risks, and failure is extremely normal. There’s no need for excessive alarm.”

 

[Hmph, overestimating his own abilities!] On the stone platform to Qin Yichen’s side, Qian Zhengchen sneered, his eyes filled with mockery.

 

In the Dao of Alchemy, it was a taboo to be impatient in pursuit of achievement. In his view, Qin Yichen was still too impetuous. Although Spirit Liquid was a decent auxiliary material, it was not something just anyone could control.

 

However, he had no idea that in Qin Yichen’s refinement, Spirit Liquid was not some auxiliary material, but rather one of the required materials for the Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill!

 

The entire vast square seemed to be stirred into tremendous uproar by those crisp sounds.

 

However, Qin Yichen appeared to turn a deaf ear to all the clamours. His gaze was fixed intently on the interior of the Pill Furnace. His Spiritual Energy had already poured forth, densely covering the entire furnace interior, striving with all his might to control the fusion of the two clusters of liquids.

 

He knew that if an ordinary Alchemy Master attempted to refine the Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill with Spiritual Rupture Realm Spiritual Energy, even with the Pill Formula, there would be absolutely no possibility of success.

 

Even for him, at this moment, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.

 

Pill refinement emphasised the perfect fusion of the medicinal properties from numerous medicinal herbs. This fusion needed to be maintained to an extremely delicate degree, and the Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill’s domineering effects were precisely due to the characteristics of these medicinal materials, along with that Spirit Liquid!
