Alchemy Master

Chapter 109, Unbelievable

Translator: Silavin

If what Shu Xin said was true, then 30% of the profits would mean at least thirty thousand silver coins in income each month!

This was more than just a pie falling from the sky! It was like gold coins raining down from Heaven!

Shu Ruyan did not know what to say.

Currently, the entire Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, with all its assets combined, would not even exceed fifty thousand silver coins.

Looking at Qin Yichen’s smile, she lowered her head in shame. [I had just doubted him…]

“Medicinal herbs are not a problem. This time, all the goods we purchased are medicinal herbs!” Shu Ruyan composed herself and solemnly said.

“Excellent!” Qin Yichen was not surprised by her response. For him, it was not difficult to make a name for the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce. However, he would not refine Pills that were too astonishing, like the Healing Pills he had given to Shu Ruyan the last time. He absolutely would never use that for sale.

That was still considered High Quality Healing Pills ten thousand years in the future. It was better to keep such things in his own hands. Moreover, he was very clear about the crime of possessing such rare treasures.

So, he could only bring out some Pills that were slightly ahead of their time. That would be enough for him to establish a foothold in the Royal City and rise up.

Of course, this still required some reputation to promote and protect his products, such as Zhou Tianwei, and even Master Gu Ye…

As long as these two said a word, the name of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce would spread throughout the entire Royal City!

[According to the timeline, Master Gu Ye should still be working hard to break through to the Understanding Realm, right?]

The control of Spiritual Energy is undoubtedly the key to refining good Pills. For example, Ran Rui and Liu Wen could at most refine Second Grade Third Grade Pills, and the reason was that their mastery over controlling Spiritual Energy was only at the Mid Stage of the Entry Realm.

Master Gu Ye was already at the Peak Stage of the Entry Realm, but there was still a considerable distance to the Understanding Realm.

According to Qin Yichen’s memory, Master Gu Ye should have entered the Understanding Realm after having an Enlightenment five years later.

Master Gu Ye had spent several decades to step from the Peak Stage of Entry Realm into the Understanding Realm.

Thinking of this, a smile curled at the corners of Qin Yichen’s mouth. In his view, this was a very good opening for him.

The next day, under Qin Yichen’s instructions, Shu Xin obediently took a bottle of Medicinal Liquid to the Zhou Family Mansion.

“Medicinal Liquid?” Zhou Tianwei did not know what Qin Yichen was up to, but still took the medicine bottle from Shu Xin’s hand.

“Young Master Qin said to trouble Young Master Zhou to pass it to Master Gu Ye for a look…” Seeing his indifferent appearance, Shu Xin seemed a bit uneasy and uncertain.

[Just what is this guy up to?] Hearing this, Zhou Tianwei was even more displeased.

Even for an evaluation, he should at least refine a Pill. She believed that with Qin Yichen’s abilities, he would be able to attract her Master’s attention. Yet, he only made a Medicinal Liquid…

[Even I am too lazy to look at it….]

However, since it was Qin Yichen’s request, Zhou Tianwei still opened the bottle cap and took a slight sniff. Instantly, her originally indifferent expression changed to one of shock. She looked at the bottle in her hand, speechless for a long time.

She did not even bother with Shu Xin beside her. She quickly rushed towards the Royal City Alchemy Guild.

In a quiet courtyard of the Alchemy Guild, an Elder was carefully controlling the Medicinal Liquid in the Pill Furnace in front of him.

*Bang!* With a loud bang, this Pill Furnace directly exploded and shattered, breaking into pieces on the ground with turbid Medicinal Liquid spilling out.

“I failed again…” The Elder did not care about the Medicinal Liquid splattered on his face. He tightly clutched his hair, his face wore an extremely painful expression as he furrowed his brow into a deep ‘几’ shape, almost shouting, “Where did I go wrong?”

He pondered every detail of the failure.

In a corner not far from the Elder, there were piles of broken Pill Furnaces. This was the price of practising Spiritual Energy control.

This was also something every Alchemy Master had to do. Just taking one step forward would be a brand new world.

“Master, any progress today?” Just as the Elder finished cleaning up and was preparing to experiment again, Zhou Tianwei walked in.

Obviously, the only person she would call Master was… the Guildmaster of the Royal City Alchemy Guild, Gu Ye!

Gu Ye rubbed his head and shook it, saying, “It’s difficult… How could one break through to the Understanding Realm so easily?”

He was very troubled. He had practised for decades but still had no clue.

“What’s the Highest Grade Master can refine right now?” Zhou Tianwei suppressed the excitement in her heart and asked.

Practicing Spiritual Energy control naturally only involved refining Medicinal Liquid, which could save a lot of time.

“Still the same. My highest is Seventh Grade.”

“Seventh Grade… So, to reach Eighth Grade, one must have Spiritual Energy control in the Understanding Realm, right?”

Zhou Tianwei’s voice was already trembling.

The bottle of Medicinal Liquid in her hand was Eighth Grade Medicinal Liquid!

“Theoretically, that’s correct.” Gu Ye nodded, turning his gaze towards her with some confusion, only to noticing her unusual state.

“Master, please take a look at this.” Zhou Tianwei took a deep breath and handed over the Medicinal Liquid in her hand.

“What is this?” Gu Ye asked.

“You’ll know once you look at it…” Although Gu Ye was a bit displeased that she interrupted his cultivation, considering she was his most outstanding personal disciple, he still opened the bottle cap.

Immediately, a refreshing medicinal fragrance spread out…

“Hm?” Just smelling this medicinal fragrance, Gu Ye’s body trembled. Then, his eyes burst forth with a look of disbelief. He quickly dipped his finger in it and then put it in his mouth.

After that, his face went through a series of changes. After a moment, he opened his eyes.

“Tianwei, did you refine this?” Master Gu Ye’s tone had become somewhat urgent.

This was an Eighth Grade Medicinal Liquid! Being able to step into the Understanding Realm was his lifelong dream! Who on Earth has achieved this!?

“How could I have this ability…” Zhou Tianwei bitterly smiled. [No wonder that guy could refine Second Grade Pills without even condensing his Divine Soul Bead! It turns out his mastery over his Spiritual Energy is at least in the Understanding Realm!]

At this moment, Zhou Tianwei’s heart was filled with nothing but shock. [Is he some kind of monster!?]

Her Master, Gu Ye, had spent decades without taking that step, yet he, a teenager of just over ten years old, had already stepped into that realm which even her Master could only look up to.

How unbelievable was this?

Perhaps when he said that he wanted to be a Guest Officer of the Zhou Family, he was just saying it casually.

It was laughable that at the time, she had even proposed impossible conditions with flowery words.

A Fourth Grade Alchemy Master, such an existence would not even glance at the Zhou Family.

Like Gu Ye, a Peak Third Grade Alchemy Master, he could already dominate a country as the number one Alchemy Master.
