Alchemy Master

Chapter 332, Luring the Little White Rabbit

However, that young man had not realised these things.

When he saw Qin Yichen, he first gave him a deeply resentful, grievance-filled look.

If it was not for Qin Yichen, how would he have been treated like an idiot by Chairman Hai?

However, Qin Yichen’s words gave him a glimmer of hope. He had never seen anyone stay inside for so long while the Chairman was refining Pills.

Moreover, just now… it seemed like the Chairman had personally escorted Qin Yichen out.

“What a pity, it’s probably impossible now…” The young man sighed dejectedly, seemingly imagining the scene of getting beaten by his Father when he returned home.

“You just need to answer, do you want to become his Disciple or not?”

Qin Yichen was like a kind angel, descending upon Earth.

“Of… of course I want to!” The young man initially wanted to snap back but softened instead. He then looked at Qin Yichen expectantly like an innocent little white rabbit.

“Very good.” Qin Yichen patted his shoulder, “Wait for me here tomorrow, I’ll take you in to see Chairman Hai.”

After speaking, he left the young man with a meaningful smile, then departed with Lin Tianhui.

“Take me to see Chairman Hai?” Hope ignited in the young man’s eyes. His Father had spent so much effort but could not even get Chairman Hai to look at him properly. Perhaps this person, who was about the same age as himself, really could help!

…

After settling in.

Qin Yichen sat cross-legged on the bed, not resting, but considering matters.

Reconciliation was absolutely impossible between him and the Li Family.

Regarding some matters of the Li Family, he actually knew a little, but in his previous life, he had not cared about such things.

But now, he had no choice but to care.

In his memory, that Prince of the Royal Consort from the Li Family had become the Grand Empire’s Crown Prince. Although he did not know if the Prince had ultimately ascended to the throne, the Li Family had become a power that could dominate the entire Grand Empire because of this.

He absolutely could not let this happen.

Once that Prince became the Grand Empire’s Crown Prince, his Noble title would become meaningless to the Li Family.

Because the Grand Empire’s Crown Prince had complete authority to revoke a Baron’s Noble title!

That was why after obtaining the Royal Seal, he had not given it to that Earl of the Royal Family, but to Xia Zilin.

Because he wanted to give this merit to Xia Zilin rather than claim it himself!

Now, among all the Princes, only the Seventh Princess Xia Zilin could compete with that Prince born of Royal Consort Li for the position of heir to the throne!

Although there was no precedent in the Grand Empire’s history of appointing a Crown Princess, he needed to break this tradition!

Supporting Xia Zilin would be difficult. But Qin Yichen had no choice but to do so, because he had no other options.

He understood this clearly himself.

He had guessed something about the identity of that young man at Chairman Hai’s door earlier.

That Jade Token belonged to a highly respected and powerful Prince of the Grand Empire. Speaking of which, that Prince was considered a heroic figure within the Grand Empire.

Originally, he had been the Prince most likely to become the Grand Empire’s future Emperor, but he had willingly given it to his Blood Brother, the current ruler.

He had spent his life in military service, once repelling the allied Forces of several Grand Empires from invading. He defended the borders, and gained achievements unmatched within the Grand Empire.

It could be said that with just one call, he could change the Grand Empire at any time.

But this Prince had not pursued power. Even when his prestige was at its peak, he had stepped down to become a carefree Prince. In fact, that was now his title – Carefree Prince.

Though the Carefree Prince had stepped down, the current Emperor showed him great respect.

Moreover, although this Carefree Prince no longer held military position, his prestige in the Grand Empire’s army remained unmatched.

Qin Yichen planned to use this to approach this legendary Prince of the Grand Empire.

If he could gain the full support of this Carefree Prince, Xia Zilin’s chances of becoming the heir to the throne would undoubtedly increase significantly.

*Huuu…* Qin Yichen exhaled deeply, his mind gradually settling down. He soon closed his eyes.

He had done everything he could to the utmost; whether it would succeed could only be left to fate.

…

Li Family Residence.

At this moment, the main hall of the Li Family was frighteningly quiet.

Li Zhengping, the Patriarch of the Li Family, sat in the high position without making a sound. However, an awe-inspiring aura faintly emanated from his body, making the Li Family Elders not dare to breathe too heavily.

Since the Elder posted at the Twilight Tower had reported the situation, the tense atmosphere in the hall had persisted until now.

Li Aofeng was dead!

This was a fact the Li Family absolutely could not accept.

Moreover, he was killed by someone who was only at the Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm before entering the Twilight Tower.

The Eight Legged Spider Martial Soul had always been something the Li Family took pride in. Li Aofeng’s Martial Soul was the king among Eight Legged Spider Martial Souls – the Eight Legged Wolf Spider!

The Li Family’s Ancestors had established the current Li Family in the Grand Empire because of this Eight Legged Wolf Spider Martial Soul.

This shows how formidable the Eight Legged Wolf Spider was.

Their silence was mainly because they were contemplating how Li Aofeng had been killed. They were still unwilling to believe the fact that Qin Yichen could kill Li Aofeng with his own two hands. They would rather believe Qin Yichen had used some unknown schemes to get the better of Li Aofeng.

Otherwise, it would mean that Qin Yichen possessed a Martial Soul more terrifying than the Eight Legged Wolf Spider Martial Soul!

It should be known that in the Grand Empire, except for the Royal Family’s Heavenly Hu Jiao Martial Soul, no Martial Soul could dominate the Li Family’s Eight Legged Spider Martial Soul.

Qin Yichen’s emergence made the Li Family feel threatened.

“Eighth Elder, repeat his details again.” Li Zhengping spoke to one of the Li Family Elders, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger. His calmness was terrifying.

“Qin Yichen, from the Northern Region of the Thousand Mist Empire, born in Jade Creek City of the Northern Region’s Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty…”

The Eighth Elder stood up, wiping cold sweat from his face, reciting details about Qin Yichen, word for word.

No background.

He was a person without any background!

Yet, in just a few short years, he had grown to such a level!

Whether in the Dao of Alchemy or the Dao of Martial Arts, he had achieved accomplishments that left others far behind.

“You’re saying that in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, there was a heavenly phenomenon in that Black Demon Mountain Range, and Qin Yichen was present?” Living up to his position as the Li Family Patriarch, Li Zhengping quickly grasped a key point.

“Yes.” The Eighth Elder nodded and said, “This is no longer a secret in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.”

Li Zhengping was silent for a moment, then suddenly, a cold light shot from his eyes, “It seems that boy must have received the inheritance from that ancient ruin. This explains his current achievements…”

This was perhaps the only explanation that could make sense of Qin Yichen’s current achievements.

“That boy entered Alchemy Central?” Then, he asked another Elder beside him.

“Yes, I have arranged some of my men to keep watch over Alchemy Central. As soon as he comes out, they will send news.” That Elder stood up to answer.

“*Hmph!* You think hiding in Alchemy Central means my Li Family can’t do anything to you!?” A burst of killing intent suddenly spread from Li Zhengping’s body.
