Alchemy Master

Chapter 7, Spirit Body Technique

“I want them all.” Qin Yichen did not beat around the bush. For him, money was easy to earn, but if he missed this Sirius Flower, who knew how many years or months it would take to obtain it again. So, even if he had to pay a price, he had to get the Sirius Flower.

“However, those spiritual medicines are not cheap. Just the Fire Silkworm Vine alone is worth several thousand silver coins…”

“Can I exchange it for the formula of this Qi Recovery Liquid? You can use it to make Qi Recovery Pills.” Before Li Hu could finish speaking, Qin Yichen interrupted him.

Although the formula seemed unremarkable in his eyes, he was clear that in this era, this formula was absolutely priceless!

In doing so, he could repay Treasure Pavilion’s kindness for sheltering him in his past life. All things considered, he still considered Cai Xinhuan to be his Mentor, even if they did not have much of a relationship in this life.

“Well…” Li Hu originally wanted to agree right away, but then thought of the mysterious Master behind him and hesitated, asking, “I don’t know if your Master…”

He wanted to take advantage of this, but what if his Master got displeased?

“Don’t worry, this is just a low-level formula that the old man threw at me to practise with. There are actually several other formulas that I haven’t had time to practise yet…”

Qin Yichen waved his hand, indicating for him to rest assured.

‘Low-level formula…’ These four words kept echoing in Li Hu and Cai Xinhuan’s ears, making them feel dizzy.

“We finally have our final item for the auction!” After Qin Yichen wrote down the formula and tossed it to Li Hu, his heart finally settled down and he exclaimed. In fact, he didn’t even need to put the formula up for sale at the auction. As long as Cai Xinhuan could refine Qi Recovery Pills, they had already made a massive profit.

Nevertheless, He could already imagine the fervent scene after news of this spread.

Li Hu’s only regret was that Qin Yichen didn’t agree to be a Chief Alchemist of Treasure Pavilion.

Since he obtained a new formula, Cai Xinhuan was eager to go back and try refining it. So, after some polite words, the two hurriedly left the Lin Family. As for those spiritual medicines Qin Yichen wanted, they would be delivered tomorrow.

After they left, the gazes of Qin Haoran and Lin Aotian fell on Qin Yichen.

“Chen’er, when did you get a Master? How come I’ve never heard you mention it?” Qin Haoran was full of doubts.

“Uh, my Master told me not to mention him to you. He leaves every time after teaching me…” Qin Yichen scratched his head and made up a reason.

Lin Aotian sighed on the side, very envious that Qin Haoran had such a talented Son.

That night, the Lin Family Mansion was extremely lively. Qin Yichen naturally became the focus of everyone’s attention. Every time something was said, it would cause a burst of exclamations from the people in the courtyard.

In their view, Treasure Pavilion was a place they couldn’t even step foot in. Yet, such a place actually invited Qin Yichen to be a Chief Alchemist.

How incredible was that?

It could be said that Qin Yichen would soon become a lofty Alchemist…

“Binglan, you are so lucky. If I had such a good Son, I’d be willing to give up ten years of my life.”

“Ah, Binglan, my girl is sensible and clever. Why don’t we match Yichen and her…”

Qin Yichen’s Mother, Du Binglan, was surrounded by a group of Aunties showering her with all kinds of flattery, making Du Binglan unable to stop smiling.

“Brother Qin, how about I betroth our Miaohan to your Yichen?” After getting drunk, Lin Aotian put his arm around Qin Haoran’s shoulder and said with a smile.

“Dad!” Hearing this, Lin Miaohan’s pretty face instantly turned red. She scolded softly and ran to her room.

“Haha…” The entire Lin Family courtyard was filled with laughter.

*Phew…* It wasn’t until midnight that Qin Yichen returned to his room, unable to help let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the familiar room and familiar furnishings, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Soon, a flash of determination appeared in his eyes.

He wanted to let this peaceful life continue.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Qin Yichen began to sort out his thoughts and ponder the reason for his return to the present…

“I remember that at the time, I touched the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl…” A distant look flashed in his eyes. His Spiritual Energy talent was extraordinary, but at the same time, he had a flaw, which was that he had low talent for Martial Arts.

The Dao of Alchemy emphasised cultivating the Soul, which was Spiritual Energy.

The Dao of Martial Arts emphasised tempering the body, strengthening one’s Physique, and becoming strong.

After reaching the pinnacle of the Dao of Alchemy, Qin Yichen originally had hoped to take a step further, but his Physique held him back.

In order to improve his Physique, he searched everywhere for the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl that could change his Martial Arts talent. It was said that the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl was the most magical treasure in this world. If one could obtain it, they could even defy Heaven and change their fate!

Thinking of this, Qin Yichen directly checked inside him.

In his Knowledge Sea, Spiritual Energy was like sparse green smoke, without any abnormalities.

Then, he went to his Dantian…

He hadn’t practised Martial Arts yet, let alone condensed his Martial Body Bead. Theoretically, his Dantian should have been empty. But now, there was something in his Dantian.

It was a very ancient-looking pearl that seemed unremarkable, dull and lusterless, and greyish.

However, on this pearl was carved a vivid pattern of a soaring Dragon. This beast had the antlers of a Deer, eyes of a Rabbit, scales of a Fish, and claws of an Eagle. It was the symbol of a True Dragon.

“Just what is this?” Qin Yichen’s attention was completely focused on this pearl.

For Martial Arts practitioners, or cultivators, there was only one thing in their Dantian, and that was the Martial Body Bead condensed when becoming a Martial Artist.

This pearl appearing in the Dantian was indeed strange.

“Could… could this be the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl?” A glimmer flashed in Qin Yichen’s eyes.

He tried to use Spiritual Energy to come into contact with this pearl, but there was no response, making him even more puzzled and unsure of what it was.

“Let’s try the Spirit Body Technique.”

The Spirit Body Technique was a Martial Arts Cultivation Technique Qin Yichen had created to practise Martial Arts. It had some similarities with the Spirit God Technique.

As the Spirit Body Technique circulated, some intangible and invisible World Essence slowly gathered towards him and seeped into his body.

In just a short while, a mass of white mist-like World Essence condensed in his Dantian.

And with the guidance of the Spirit Body Technique, this white mist slowly formed a small vortex and circulated on its own. Then, the speed of World Essence surged in at several times the speed.

This was the benefit of a powerful Cultivation Technique.

If it was an ordinary person, they could only accumulate World Essence bit by bit. If they had a Human Grade Cultivation Technique, it could increase the speed by more than one fold. If it was Yellow Grade, it would be two fold. If it was Black Grade, it would be three fold. If it was Heaven Grade, it would be four fold.

However, under the guidance of the Spirit Body Technique, the speed at which Qin Yichen absorbed World Essence reached a terrifying ten fold!

Similarly, the benefit the Spirit God Technique gave him was also an increase in Spiritual Energy cultivation speed, which made him always ahead of others in his previous life.
