Qin Yichen knew that if he said anything more, it would only make Feng Qianxue dislike him more. Rather than that, it was better for him to leave. In his memory, there were still five to six years before Feng Qianxue’s Martial Soul awakening. He could only leave first and slowly think of ways to expose Ouyang Haotian’s ugly side.

The helplessness of leaving, the feelings of his departure, only Qin Yichen himself knew clearly what they felt like. What made him feel most powerless was that he could do nothing now.

This was the first time since his regression that Qin Yichen felt this powerless.

Perhaps in this life, Heaven was making him repay the emotional debt he owed in his previous life.

Thinking about how much she had given for him in his previous life, while he remained cold-hearted and unmoving, he now deeply felt the despair that Feng Qianxue must have felt then.

Just thinking about how much pain she must have been through made Qin Yichen’s heart clench.

His eyes even became misty with tears. He wanted to vent, to shout, to act recklessly, but he knew he could not.

“Ah, Master… Master Qin!” Seeing Qin Yichen leave, a confused Chen Feng pointed at the Life Recovery Pill Formula in Ouyang Haotian’s hand. He could only sigh and followed him out.

He could not understand why Qin Yichen did not want a Pill Formula worth several hundred thousand. However, seeing Qin Yichen’s gloomy expression, he did not dare to ask any further.

“Unexpectedly, he’s quite principled.” Regarding Qin Yichen’s departure, Ouyang Haotian’s eyes flashed with a subtle look. He picked up the scroll Qin Yichen had left on the table, his eyes showing a trace of joy.

With this formula, he could help Feng Qianxue awaken her Martial Soul faster!

“Hmph, after I exposed him, he was too embarrassed to take the Life Recovery Pill Formula?” Feng Qianxue coldly snorted at Qin Yichen’s retreating figure. Though, deep in her eyes, there was also a trace of confusion.

Why would someone in this place have such a High Grade Fire Gathering Pill Formula? One even better than those of their Family and the Ouyang Family?

Just where did this Pill Formula come from?!

“Brother Haotian, we’ve been searching for half a year without any news, shall we go back?” Finally, Feng Qianxue turned her gaze to Ouyang Haotian, speaking softly.

The reason they appeared here was actually because of the heavenly phenomenon several years ago – the Dragon Roar had come from this direction of the Northern Region. However, the Northern Region was too vast. With a population of over a hundred million, finding someone was like looking for a needle in an ocean.

Ouyang Haotian’s painstaking search naturally had his own unknown purpose.

A Dragon Martial Soul! If he could possess it, along with Feng Qianxue’s Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, who in this world could contend with him, Ouyang Haotian!?

“Qianxue, this trip was not really about finding that person. I just wanted to take you out to relax.” Ouyang Haotian put the Fire Gathering Pill Formula in his bosom, and while in a good mood, spoke to Feng Qianxue with a smile.

When she heard those words, her face immediately turned red. She could only lower her head, softly responding with a sound of agreement, immersed in his sweet words.

……

After returning to the Royal City Alchemy Guild in the Feather Lake Dynasty, Qin Yichen no longer had any interest in wandering around.

He left a word to Chen Feng, to remind him two days before the summit, and then went into secluded cultivation.

The Ouyang Family, even though it had fallen, it was still an existence that he could not provoke for now, especially since Ouyang Haotian had yet to show his true colours to the Feng Family.

Whether the Feng Family would believe Ouyang Haotian or himself, Qin Yichen knew very well.

Now, Feng Qianxue’s matter weighed heavily on Qin Yichen’s heart like a mountain; he had to find a way to prevent the tragedy from repeating.

However, thinking too much about it now was useless; improving his strength was the urgent priority.

…

Days passed in cultivation.

Wang Daoyun had also returned, though he still came and went frequently, his whereabouts uncertain.

Time passed quickly, and the day of the Alchemy World Summit had arrived.

Qin Yichen, along with Zhao Ritian and Wang Daoyun, set out for the capital of the Thousand Mist Empire two days early.

On the road, travellers gradually increased.

Especially after leaving the Northern Region and entering the Thousand Mist Capital, there were even more people, and each had strong auras. Clearly, no one was in cultivation.

In the Northern Region, Spirit Realm experts were considered outstanding, but here, Spirit Realm experts could be found among random passersby. There were even many Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm experts.

Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm experts would be Elder-level figures in the Eight Millennial Families of the Central Province, but in the Thousand Mist Capital, they seemed to only count as First Tier experts.

The three of them stood out among the crowd, after all, they all wore Alchemy Master Robes, with both Zhao Ritian and Wang Daoyun of High Rank.

As for Qin Yichen…

Well…

Although he was already considered a Four Stars Apprentice at the Alchemy Tower, the Medal he had on was still too average.

An ordinary Alchemy Master walking with two Fourth Grade Alchemy Masters did seem a bit odd.

Nevertheless, it was convenient to walk with them. With Zhao Ritian and Wang Daoyun leading the way, even the crowded masses parted to make way for them.

This was the advantage of being an Alchemy Master. The noble status of Alchemy Masters was evident everywhere.

Soon, the outline of the Thousand Mist Capital appeared in their vision.

The three entered the city without any difficulty and found a place to stay.

After settling in, except for Wang Daoyun, who went out once, Qin Yichen and Zhao Ritian stayed in their rooms.

The night quietly passed.

In the capital of Thousand Mist Empire, below the Thousand Mist Alchemy Peak, there was a huge square.

This day, though it was only morning, the huge square was already packed with dense crowds. Many guards of the Thousand Mist Alchemy Peak wore neat armour and stood like spears, maintaining the Alchemy World Summit’s order.

Obviously, the Thousand Mist Capital also attached great importance to this grand meeting.

On the outskirts, countless spectators had blocked the area to a standstill. The Alchemy World Summit gathered the top youths from all five regions of the Thousand Mist Empire. Who knew how many people had travelled thousands of kilometres to the capital just to catch a glimpse of the top young Alchemy Masters from various regions!

The three of them also arrived here with staff members of the Thousand Mist Alchemy Peak. Seeing this scene before them, they could not help but smile bitterly. If they hadn’t come with the staff member, getting through would have required a great deal of effort.

“Northern Region’s Alchemy Tower has arrived!”

“Ah… that’s Zhao Ritian!”

Seeing Qin Yichen and others approach, the observing crowd consciously made way. Their gazes of reverence and intensity were cast upon the three of them.

The most eye-catching was naturally Zhao Ritian, who was handsome and walked with an inherent air of dominance.
