Alchemy Master

Chapter 147, Facing the Challenge

Translator: Silavin

In the following period, Qin Yichen spent almost every day in his room refining Pills and cultivating.

Little Ling’er finally became familiar with the Shu Sisters and Ye Liangchen, but at night, she would not cling to anyone except Qin Yichen.

During this time, many turbulent events occurred in the Royal City.

The Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce did not rise as rapidly as people expected, but instead showed signs of being suppressed.

Obviously, this was intentionally done by the Du Family.

Even knowing that Zhou Tianwei and Alchemy Grandmaster Gu Ye were behind the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, the Du Family still did not take them seriously. This showed that the Du Family had become so arrogant that they disregarded everything.

Just as the entire business world was about to be monopolised by the Du Family, the Heavenly Unicorn Business Alliance suddenly released two new Pills… improved versions of the Flowing Cloud Pill and the Hunger Suppression Pill.

With the release of these two Pills, the Heavenly Unicorn Business Alliance once again maintained its reputation, and even expanded several times in just half a month. During this period, many powerful figures from other countries came from afar to the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, just to obtain one or two of these Pills.

In the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, Ye Liangchen and the Shu Sisters continued to play with Little Ling’er as usual, without any depressing atmosphere despite being suppressed.

All this was simply because of their trust in Qin Yichen.

As Qin Yichen said, he could save the Heavenly Unicorn Business Alliance just by giving out two formulas. Once he dealt with Du Junxiong and released some other formulas, why worry about the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce not being able to rise?

Now the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was just maintaining normal operations. On the other side, with Alchemy Grandmaster Gu Ye’s tacit approval, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce had poached many Alchemy Masters from the Alchemy Master Guild. They were now frantically refining Pills in the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce’s dedicated Medicine Building, to ensure they could produce in large quantities when they started selling.

Time passed quietly as Qin Yichen cultivated hard.

Three days before the Princess’s Husband Selection Day, Qin Yichen finally broke through to the Martial Grandmaster Realm.

After breaking through to the Martial Grandmaster Realm, the Yuan Energy in his Dantian nearly tripled, and his strength took another step forward.

Perhaps before, people’s impression of him was still limited to being an Alchemy Prodigy, but today, everyone would see a different side of him!

At the first light of dawn, countless people headed towards the front of the Royal Palace.

In front of the Royal Palace, a huge arena had been set up. Today’s duel between Du Junxiong and Qin Yichen would take place in this arena.

Even though it was just morning, the front of the Royal Palace was already extremely lively, with an astonishing number of people. Looking out, there was a sea of black heads, with no end in sight.

As countless people eagerly waited, Du Junxiong appeared in everyone’s view, riding a Level 2 Demonic Beast, a Red Mane Lion.

Today, Du Junxiong wore a red robe, quite festive, which, combined with his handsome face, immediately attracted countless lovestruck young girls.

Behind Du Junxiong was an ornate bridal sedan chair, obviously for marrying the Princess.

Clearly, he did not take Qin Yichen seriously. After all, he was only in the Martial Master Realm.

Could it be that a teenager in his teens, after achieving such unparalleled accomplishments in the Dao of Alchemy, also wanted to make achievements on the Path of Martial Arts?!

That was absolutely impossible!

As soon as Du Junxiong appeared, a burst of clamour erupted from the crowd, and countless admiring and envious gazes fell on him.

He enjoyed these gazes, carrying an arrogant air as he walked directly onto the arena.

He surveyed his surroundings with a superior attitude, not taking anyone around him seriously.

Of course, now he indeed had the capital to do so.

However, the Du Family’s actions these days had made many people unable to feel goodwill towards them, and they could only be angry but not dare to speak out.

The Du Family was not like the Royal Family.

When expanding their power, the Du Family did not consider the feelings of other Forces at all, completely taking the stance of monopolising the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.

“Where’s Qin Yichen, why hasn’t he come yet?”

“Perhaps he’s scared. Although his Alchemy talent is extremely good, how can he compare to Young Master Du in terms of Martial Arts…”

“Indeed, Young Master Du is a powerful expert at the second level of Peak Martial Grandmaster. Even among the older generation, few can defeat him.”

Hearing the discussions from the crowd below the arena, the smile on Du Junxiong’s face grew even more pronounced.

The so-called Martial Arts contest for marriage became meaningless with him, Du Junxiong, present. In the entire Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, who dared to compete with him, Du Junxiong, for a woman?!

However, just as Du Junxiong was thinking this, his expression suddenly darkened, and his gaze turned cold as he looked in one direction.

Below the arena, many sharp-eyed people also noticed the change in Du Junxiong’s expression, and immediately, countless gazes followed his line of sight.

They saw that in the distance, a group from the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was walking towards them.

The person in the lead was none other than Qin Yichen, who had been in the spotlight recently!

At this moment, he was also wearing a festive red robe, and on his right hand, he was holding a little girl dressed in rainbow-coloured clothes.

Behind them were two beautiful women.

When they saw Shu Ruyan, who could rival the Eldest Princess in beauty, countless people could not help but reveal shocked expressions.

Although it was rumoured that the Chairman of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was a beauty that could topple a country, seeing her today, everyone felt she was even more beautiful than the rumours suggested.

However, just as everyone was drooling at the sight, a fat man so obese that it was hard to look at suddenly blocked their view.

Looking at that fat face so chubby that the eyes were barely visible, and tilted at a 45-degree angle towards the sky, people’s drool almost turned into vomit.

Being ugly was one thing, but this guy had such a narcissistic look that people really wanted to kick that fat face a few times.

Around the arena, the atmosphere suddenly became boiling hot at this moment.

Countless curious gazes turned towards the tall young man walking at the front. His handsome and sunny appearance, and his face with a slight smile, along with his unafraid demeanour, made many people nod in approval.

Regardless of the outcome, at least Qin Yichen, as an Alchemy Master, dared to come and fight. This courage alone had already made people look at him with new eyes.

“I didn’t see clearly at the Alchemy Competition, he’s actually quite handsome.”

“If his strength is as formidable as his unparalleled Alchemy talent, that would be perfect…”

Some pretty young girls huddled together, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at the young man, discussing in low voices.

“This guy, he really dared to come?” Not far from the arena, when Luo Qingyu, Wang Hailin, and others saw Qin Yichen, a trace of surprise welled up in their eyes.

“I just hope he doesn’t die too miserably, it would be best if they both perish!”

Qin Yichen, who had a spot in the Alchemy Tower, was already someone that Luo Qingyu and the others could not afford to provoke. Both Qin Yichen and Du Junxiong were figures that the Luo and Wang Families were extremely wary of, so for the battle between these two, they hoped for mutual destruction.

That way, there would be no one who could threaten their positions.
