Alchemy Master

Chapter 215, Here Comes the Perfect Target

Translator: Silavin

Those with extraordinary talent often think highly of themselves. Zhao Ritian was no exception. One could say that from birth, everything had gone smoothly for him. He was breaking one record after another with ease.

Before he went to attend the Alchemy World Summit, he always thought that with his advantage in his Spiritual Energy cultivation, he could crush everyone.

However, at the Alchemy World Summit, he realised he was wrong, terribly wrong.

Still, he was not someone who would admit defeat. After returning from the summit, he frantically studied various knowledge to improve his abilities in all aspects.

But now, being provoked by Qin Yichen made Zhao Ritian’s face turn red with frustration.

He finally discovered that this guy before him was fine when silent, but once he spoke, he specifically targeted other’s weak points! He truly hit where it hurts most.

Yet frustratingly, he could not find anything to refute him. This was what made Zhao Ritian most depressed.

“Fine. What will it take for you to leave me alone?” Several days later, Qin Yichen was so tired of being followed that even when he went to handle personal matters, Zhao Ritian would follow him. Thus, he could only give in a little in hopes to reach a compromise.

“Have an Alchemy Duel with me!” Seeing him finally relent, Zhao Ritian immediately became energetic.

“Fine.” To get rid of this stalking, Qin Yichen could only agree, “However, I’ll set the rules.”

“Hehe, no problem, set whatever rules you want.” Zhao Ritian appeared full of confidence, looking as if victory was already in his grasp.

“Let’s see who can refine a Pill first, regardless of Grade, how about that?”

“Very well!” The two immediately agreed.

The speed of refining Pills could actually reflect many personal abilities. For example, the proficiency of their Alchemy Technique, understanding of Pills, and of course, mastery over Spiritual Energy. All these aspects were linked to refinement speed.

“Don’t say your Senior is bullying you, I’ll use this Pill Furnace, you use this one…”

Zhao Ritian brought out two Pill Furnaces, obviously keeping the Lower Grade one for himself.

“Nah, I’ll use this one.” Qin Yichen took the Lower Grade Pill Furnace, then, before he could say anything else, he called out, “Let’s begin.”

He started throwing medicinal herbs into the Pill Furnace.

Zhao Ritian was first startled, then quickly reacted.

Immediately, his expression became serious, and he also started picking up medicinal herbs one by one. He weighed them in his hand before throwing them into the Pill Furnace. He had also reached the level where he did not need to use scales.

However, it was obvious that his weighing motion was not as relaxed and natural as Qin Yichen’s. In this aspect, he had already lost one point.

When Zhao Ritian finished throwing all the medicinal herbs into the Pill Furnace and was preparing to receive Qin Yichen’s admiring gaze, he discovered that Qin Yichen had already started refining.

“This guy…” At this moment, he truly started to take Qin Yichen seriously.

To show off, he had been practising this technique since childhood. Admittedly, it was just to attract attention from others and make them express genuine amazement. Thus, he was stunned to discover that what he had been so proud of was nothing worth mentioning in front of Qin Yichen.

*Bang!*

During this moment of distraction, Qin Yichen slapped the Pill Furnace, and a Pill fell in front of him. Qin Yichen soon left without looking back, leaving Zhao Ritian standing there, unable to react for a long time.

Although these were supposed to be basic Pills, typically of First Grade using the normal formula, judging by its appearance, the Pill Qin Yichen made was at least Fourth Grade in terms of quality.

“Damn, is that kid some kind of monster?!” Looking at the Pill in his hand, Zhao Ritian muttered.

To refine a Fourth Grade or Higher Pill in such a short time, even those extraordinary geniuses at the Alchemy World Summit probably could not do it.

Gradually, he realised that Qin Yichen had not been ignoring him out of fear, but because he found him annoying!

“No way, I have to dig out something from him.” There was nothing that Zhao Ritian wanted but could not get.

After his persistent pestering, Qin Yichen could only teach him a set of Alchemy Technique, and only then did he get some peace.

…

The next day, Bian Lingzhu found Qin Yichen. She had brought the Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones he needed.

Feeling the violent energy fluctuations inside the specially made black wooden box, Qin Yichen’s lips curved into a smile.

Afterward, he handed over a box of Yuan Healing Pills that he had prepared earlier to Bian Lingzhu.

Inside were exactly thirty Fourth Grade Yuan Healing Pills.

Although this could not be compared to that one kilogram of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones, it was still worth tens of thousands. If sold through the auction, it could fetch over a hundred thousand.

“I need large quantities of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones. I will exchange equivalent Pills with your BiAn Family.” Qin Yichen naturally would not be satisfied with just one kilogram of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones. To cultivate the Heavenly Lightning Body, he would definitely need vast amounts of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones.

“I will relay the message.” After Bian Lingzhu left, Qin Yichen eagerly opened the specially made black box.

*Boom!…*

As soon as the box was opened, a surge of violent energy poured out. Fortunately, Qin Yichen was prepared and did not suffer any damage.

“Damn, what good stuff.” Taking up a Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stone about twenty grams in weight, feeling the powerful energy fluctuations inside, Qin Yichen could hardly wait.

Ordinary people naturally had no way to handle these Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones. In fact, slight carelessness would cause them to explode. So, no one dared to use them carelessly. Fortunately, Qin Yichen had obtained the Heavenly Lightning Separation Technique.

Immediately, he began to operate the Heavenly Lightning Separation Technique, then drew out a violent stream of energy from the Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stone into his body.

*Crack! Boom!* As the energy entered his body, electric snakes erupted all over Qin Yichen’s body, and his frame trembled constantly, but the energy successfully flowed into his Dantian.

This energy would be destructive to others, but fortunately, Qin Yichen had refined a Lightning Lion’s Beast Soul. After the energy entered his Dantian, the Lightning Lion began to move, opening its huge mouth to swallow the energy and convert it into pure Yuan Energy.

Without this Lightning Lion Beast Soul, Qin Yichen would definitely have suffered greatly. With it, the refinement process became much smoother.

After refining one-third of the Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones in the box, Qin Yichen’s Martial Arts cultivation reached the second level Peak Grandmaster Realm.

Glancing at the remaining Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones, Qin Yichen frowned.

[I’m afraid that to break through to the Spirit Realm, this one kilogram of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones would be far from enough… The BiAn Family certainly can’t get him more Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones in this short period of time. In that case, who should I approach to get more…]

“Qin Yichen!”

Just as he was thinking, a voice came from the door, making Qin Yichen’s eyes light up.

[Hey, here comes the perfect target.]

That person was naturally Zhao Ritian.

He was currently full of joy, obviously having gained great benefits from the Alchemy Technique Qin Yichen had taught him.

However, when he kicked open the door and saw the box of Heavenly Lightning Yuan Stones inside, he was so scared that he jumped up and darted out.

“Bastard! You’re too vicious! I only swindled one Alchemy Technique from you, and you want to perish together with me!?” He cursed from outside.
