Alchemy Master

Chapter 128, Wait a Moment

Translator: Silavin

The existence of the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, in fact, did not bring much benefit to the Lu Family. It could be said that for the Lu Family, the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty was a dispensable existence.

The Heavenly Unicorn Royal Family surely understood this clearly.

For five consecutive years now, the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty’s Alchemy Tower spot had been snatched away by the Brilliant Martial Country.

This was horrendous for the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty. If this continued, with one side waning and the other waxing, even without a large-scale war, the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty would eventually be annexed by the Brilliant Martial Country.

“If we let them take the championship again…” Master Gu Ye’s hand gripping the information tightened, crushing the thin paper to pieces.

This was just the first round, but the strength of the participants could already be glimpsed. Perhaps some Alchemy Masters were still holding back, but Gu Ye was very familiar with the standard of Alchemy Masters from his own dynasty.

Finally, Gu Ye turned his gaze towards Qin Yichen.

Although Qin Yichen only had the equivalent Spiritual Energy cultivation of Peak Martial Master Realm, his Spiritual Energy attainment was something even he could not hope to match.

Gu Ye could only hope that he could create a miracle. After all, the Spiritual Energy cultivation of the Alchemy Master from the Brilliant Martial Country had probably reached at least one realm above the Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm.

Soon, almost all the Pills had been appraised, except for one Second Grade Pill and one Third Grade Pill. The rest were all just First Grade.

There were only a few Pills left to be appraised, and in the middle of the blue stone platforms, only Qin Yichen’s Pill remained unappraised.

At this time, almost all the audience’s gazes were directed towards Qin Yichen.

If the Pill Qin Yichen refined was also ordinary, then this first round would be won by that Alchemy Master from the Brilliant Martial Country.

The appraisal personnel quickly came to the front of Qin Yichen’s platform, and Qin Yichen also handed over that unimpressive Pill to him.

Looking at the plain Pill in his hand, the appraiser opened his mouth to announce, “First Grade Pill, qualified…”

Hearing this voice, many people sighed in disappointment.

Although this could not represent the final champion, for all the participants from the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, it was a significant blow to their morale.

“Wait… wait a moment!” Just as everyone was extremely disappointed, that appraiser seemed to lose his senses and shouted.

“What’s wrong, is it a waste Pill?”

Seeing the change here, many people looked over in confusion.

“This, this Flowing Cloud Pill is somewhat special… Please allow me to check it carefully again.”

This appraiser was originally a High Grade Alchemy Master from the Royal City Alchemy Guild, naturally with considerable experience. He immediately gathered several other appraisers around.

Then, under the puzzled gazes of countless people, this group of High Grade Alchemy Masters from the Royal City Alchemy Guild actually started discussing right there on the blue stone platform.

“What’s going on, is a Flowing Cloud Pill so difficult to appraise?”

Everyone was confused.

After quite a while, those High Grade Alchemy Masters in discussion seemed to finally have a result. After nodding to each other, an elderly High Grade Alchemy Master stepped out, coughed lightly, and said, “Sorry to keep everyone waiting, because this Pill is somewhat special, so we delayed everyone’s time a bit…”

Someone took that Pill and walked towards the main platform.

“Although this is only a First Grade Flowing Cloud Pill, after our appraisal, we found that this Pill not only has its original sleep-aiding effect, but also…”

Speaking to this point, this High Grade Alchemy Master’s tone paused, and finally, after taking a deep breath, he said with a slightly trembling voice, “It also has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the Soul!”

Immediately, the scene erupted with a sea of clamour.

“How is this possible? That person actually improved the Flowing Cloud Pill!?”

“Clearing the mind and calming the Soul, this is absolutely impossible…”

Pills that clear the mind and calm the Soul were dreamed of by countless Martial Artists, especially for those Martial Artists who are about to break through. If they could have a Pill that clears the mind and calms the Soul, it would undoubtedly greatly increase their chances of successfully breaking through.

This shows the value of this Pill.

Qin Yichen rubbed his nose bridge.

There was no way around it. He really could not refine those inferior Pills, which he found unacceptable. Thus, he just made a slight improvement.

“This is ridiculous! How is this possible? How much benefit did that brat give you guys to make you talk such nonsense!”

However, Wang Muyu on the platform next to Qin Yichen could not accept the fact, and even started cursing out loud.

The contrast was too great!

If Qin Yichen had really improved and refined the Flowing Cloud Pill, it would overshadow even that Alchemy Master from the Brilliant Martial Country.

Improving a formula!

What a joke.

Any formula, to be improved, requires generations of long-term experimentation. How could such a young kid possibly accomplish that?

“Watch your words!” Those High Grade Alchemy Masters all looked at him with iron-blue faces.

At this time, Wang Muyu realised he had misspoken.

The Royal City Alchemy Guild was a special existence, directly under the Central Province’s Alchemy Tower. What did his Wang Family count for in front of the behemoth that was the Alchemy Tower?

Although he shut up, his face was still full of resentment.

And at this time, Qin Yichen’s Pill had also been sent to Master Gu Ye’s hand.

As soon as he picked up this Pill, a cool sensation was transmitted along his arm, immediately making his Soul loosen up and more energetic.

“This…” Master Gu Ye’s pupils contracted, and he hurriedly put this Pill into a wooden box, then quickly covered it.

He knew this was the phenomenon of the Pill’s medicinal properties dissipating.

However, what puzzled Master Gu Ye was why, with Qin Yichen’s strength, he had only refined a First Grade Pill.

He was quite familiar with Qin Yichen’s strength. Moreover, the quality of Pills was directly related to one’s attainment in Spiritual Energy.

But now, Gu Ye did not have time to consider these things, because everyone was waiting for the result.

“I declare, this Pill is qualified!” Gu Ye looked at Qin Yichen with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes, then he continued, “I encourage this participant’s bold act of improvement!”

“Heavens, Master Gu Ye actually acknowledged it!”

Countless spectators exclaimed, which was equivalent to confirming that the Pill indeed had the effect of clearing the mind and calming the Soul.

Although it was only a First Grade Pill, with such a miraculous effect, even that Third Grade Pill could not overshadow its brilliance.

At this time, sitting in the middle of the VIP seats, many people from the major Forces of the Royal City also quietly started making arrangements.
