Alchemy Master

Chapter 612, Prince

Translator: Silavin

The Heavenly Dragon Royal Family, Prince Long Zexiao!

The Heavenly Dragon Royal Family, as the most powerful Force in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty, did not typically display their overwhelming strength openly. However, no one dared to underestimate them in the slightest!

From this single unit of Royal Guards radiating murderous aura and their commanding Prince, the Martial Emperor, Long Zexiao, one could glimpse just a fraction of their true power.

The foundation of the Heavenly Dragon Royal Family was beyond what ordinary people could fathom.

“This should be the champion of this Alchemy Manor Summit, Little Brother Qin Yichen, correct?” Walking before Qin Yichen, Long Zexiao smiled slightly at him.

“Qin Yichen greets the Prince.” Qin Yichen nodded with neither servility nor arrogance, then cupped his hands respectfully.

Long Zexiao’s gaze carefully examined Qin Yichen, and he was somewhat astonished to discover that the latter showed not the slightest trace of fear under his imposing presence. After a moment, he slowly withdrew his gaze, nodded, and said, “Since ancient times, heroes emerge from the youth. Your reputation is indeed well-deserved.”

“The Prince is too kind.” Qin Yichen cupped his hands again. The latter appeared to be only around forty years old, yet his cultivation had already reached the Martial Emperor Realm. He was truly worthy of being a Prince of the Heavenly Dragon Royal Family!

“I wonder what wind brings the Prince to seek me?” Although he already had some speculation about the purpose behind such a grand display, Qin Yichen still feigned ignorance as he asked.

“The Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill!” Regarding Qin Yichen’s question, Long Zexiao showed no pause whatsoever and spoke directly.

Upon hearing about the Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill, the surrounding crowd immediately pricked up their ears.

The Royal Family had indeed sent Prince Long Zexiao here for the Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill!

“I wonder if Little Brother Qin could sell the Pill Formula to our Royal Family. Money, status, power. As long as it’s not too excessive, I can promise you anything.” Long Zexiao was clearly not one who favoured beating around the bush. He waved his hand grandly and spoke with considerable magnanimity.

Upon hearing his promise, the surrounding crowd immediately erupted in gasps of astonishment, and many eyes turned red with desire.

Long Zexiao was one of the core members of the Heavenly Dragon Royal Family. His words absolutely represented the Royal Family’s intention, and no one doubted that there was even a hint of falsehood in them.

Envious and even jealous gazes fell upon the slender figure standing before the Alchemy Council.

With just a nod from him, the entire structure of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City would undergo tremendous changes because of him. Perhaps the positions of all the Major Families would be impacted.

After all, no Family had the backing of such a grand promise from the Heavenly Dragon Royal Family!

However, under countless gazes, faced with status within easy reach, Qin Yichen shook his head.

“What is he doing? He is actually refuse such conditions?”

“What is he doing? He must know that the Royal Family would absolutely never allow such a Pill Formula to remain in someone else’s hands!”

“Indeed, the Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill could even shake the very foundation of the Imperial Dynasty. How could he dare to keep such a Heaven Defying thing in his own hands instead of handing it over to the Royal Family?”

Amidst the whispered conversations, Long Zexiao’s expression seemed to darken somewhat due to Qin Yichen’s refusal, his eyes gleaming with sharp light.

“My apologies, but I have already promised the Pill Formula to the Feng Family, and the Feng Family has also promised not to sell it to other Imperial Dynasties.”

Qin Yichen spread his hands with an expression that suggested the Prince had arrived too late.

“The Feng Family?” Upon hearing those two words, a trace of wariness flashed deep in Long Zexiao’s eyes. Perhaps in ordinary people’s eyes, the Feng Family was merely the wealthiest Family among the Six Imperial Dynasties, but people in high positions like him understood just how terrifying the Feng Family’s influence truly was!

It could be said that if they came into conflict with the Feng Family, even their Heavenly Dragon Royal Family would find it extremely troublesome.

However, fortunately, Qin Yichen’s final statement gave Long Zexiao some peace of mind. With the Feng Family’s reputation, once they made a promise, they would absolutely never allow the Pill Formula to reach the other Imperial Dynasties.

After all, Feng Lingzun’s arrival in Heavenly Dragon Imperial City was no secret.

Moreover, it now appeared that the Feng Family had learned through certain channels long ago that Qin Yichen possessed the Pill Formula, which was why they had even dispatched Feng Lingzun in person.

This was sufficient to show that the Feng Family attached extreme importance to this matter!

“It seems this Prince has indeed arrived too late.” Long Zexiao shook his head. He appeared to have anticipated this outcome, showing no disappointment in his eyes. Then he continued, “I wonder if Little Brother could refine several Extreme Emperor Transformation Pills for our Heavenly Dragon Royal Family? Our Royal Family will not treat you unfairly.”

The Feng Family obtaining the Pill Formula was fine. They might possibly sell Extreme Emperor Transformation Pills, but they would definitely not sell many. At that time, each Pill would likely cost an astronomical price! In that case, why not take advantage of this opportunity while he was close to the source?

“Hehe.” Qin Yichen smiled bitterly. This was probably the real reason he had come to find him personally. However, this time he did not refuse again, but nodded and said, “You must provide the materials yourself. Additionally, I have one condition.”

“Materials are naturally provided by us. As for conditions, as long as Little Brother Qin’s request is not too excessive, I can promise you anything.” Long Zexiao waved his hand and directly agreed.

“Let’s refine ten Pills first. I’ll have someone prepare the materials.” As Long Zexiao’s words fell, they immediately caused countless people’s breathing to accelerate sharply. Ten Extreme Emperor Transformation Pills!

They did not know how many times they had begged the Shen Family without obtaining even a single Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill, yet Long Zexiao asked for ten with a single request!

The materials for ten Extreme Emperor Transformation Pills alone would probably make countless Forces look on in despair.

Regarding this, the crowd could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly. They simply could not compare with the Royal Family.

“Impossible. I can only refine one pill for you!” While everyone was sighing endlessly, Qin Yichen’s voice struck their ears like a thunderclap.

“Damn! He dares to refuse the Prince?!”

“This young man has truly grown tired of living. Does he know who Long Zexiao is!?”

Upon hearing Qin Yichen’s direct words, countless people were startled. Looking towards Long Zexiao, his expression had indeed darkened.

A faint but palpable pressure invisibly enveloped this space, and an oppressive feeling filled everyone’s hearts.

“At minimum, you must refine eight Pills!” Long Zexiao’s expression was grim, his robes fluttering without wind, naturally commanding respect without anger.

“Impossible. Two Pills!” However, under this pressure, Qin Yichen still refused.

*Thud!* As his words fell, the group of fully armed soldiers stepped forward in unison. Immediately, within the already alarming pressure, terrifying killing intent rose up.

At this moment, the surrounding onlookers felt as if they were placed in the midst of a battlefield of slaughter, cold sweat involuntarily breaking out across their bodies.
