Alchemy Master

Chapter 506, Tian Liang’s Promotion

Translator: Silavin

“Manor Master.” Arriving before the Manor Master, Tian Liang appeared extremely respectful.

This respect came from the bottom of his heart.

If the Manor Master had not stepped in back then, those from the Eastern Overcast Sect would not have let him live until now.

“You, eh…” The Manor Master was about to say something, but as his gaze fell upon Tian Liang, his pupils immediately widened.

From Tian Liang, he sensed obvious fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.

What this represented, how could he not be clearer about it?

That was why it was such a shock to him, to the point he appeared somewhat flustered.

“You… have recovered?” After a moment, the Manor Master finally composed his emotions, but his tone still carried traces of disbelief.

“Yes.” Tian Liang nodded with some excitement. For him, this was no less dreamlike, to the point where he could barely distinguish if this was reality.

*Siii…* The Manor Master drew in a cold breath, his eyes flickering with light.

He was very clear about Tian Liang’s condition. Even if he had wanted to recover right when he was initially injured, it would have been almost impossible. Let alone after the chronic ailment had persisted for such a long time. In fact, attempting to cure it would undoubtedly be increasingly difficult with time.

Yet, Tian Liang, who had shown no change just a few days ago, was now completely reborn!

[He did it!?] The Manor Master suddenly thought of Qin Yichen, and could not help asking. “Was it Qin Yichen?”

“Y-yes.” Tian Liang was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

This matter could not be concealed anyway. In the entire Alchemy Manor, was there a second person who could create such a miracle!?

*Swoosh!* Upon receiving his answer, the Manor Master immediately stood up, but as he walked to the door, he stopped in his tracks.

He very much wanted to ask Qin Yichen how he had achieved this.

But coming from the Imperial City, he had to consider many more factors at play here.

In his view, such a Pill definitely could not have been developed by a youth. This was possibly the foundation of the Force behind Qin Yichen.

The value of this Pill was something he understood with great clarity, especially for an Alchemy Master, this Pill was absolutely priceless.

Even without Alchemy Duels, many Alchemy Masters, when attempting to break through to higher Realms, if they failed, their Knowledge Sea would suffer injuries of varying degrees.

Therefore, current Alchemy Masters were extremely cautious about breaking through to new Realms, as if walking a tightrope over a cliff. Reaching the other side meant success and fame, but if one slipped, it would mean complete destruction.

However, if there was a Pill that could treat Spiritual Energy injuries…

Just thinking about it made the Manor Master’s heart burn with excitement.

But at the same time, he wondered, did such a Force that could develop this Pill truly exist in his Ten Corner Region?

The Manor Master eventually abandoned the idea of questioning Qin Yichen.

“Did the Manor Master summon me for something?” Seeing his silence, Tian Liang hesitated several times, but still could not help asking.

Having just recovered, he was naturally eager to reacquaint himself with his abilities.

He had gone too long without using Spiritual Energy, so long he had almost forgotten how.

“Yes.” The Manor Master came back to his senses, nodded, and said with a solemn expression, “I want to promote you to become the third Grand Advisor of the Alchemy Manor!”

Tian Liang was stunned, unable to react for a long time.

Just like that, he had become a Grand Advisor.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire Ten Corner Alchemy Manor…

Immediately, the entire Alchemy Manor was thrown into an uproar.

“Is it true that Elder Tian Liang has been promoted to become a Grand Advisor?”

“How could that be false? It’s said the Manor Master gathered all the Elders to announce this.”

“It seems the Alchemy Manor is about to change…”

Some were worried, while others were delighted.

Those worried were naturally those who had previously troubled Tian Liang, with the Eastern Overcast Sect at the forefront.

Dong Yang wore a worried expression all day, and people heard occasional shouting and the sound of things being thrown from his courtyard.

The turn of events was too drastic.

From now on, he could no longer suppress Tian Liang.

He could sense that the Manor Master deeply trusted and valued Tian Liang.

Of course, this was not the most important part; what was most crucial was… Tian Liang had actually recovered!

Tian Liang’s injuries had been inflicted by him. He knew very well how heavily he had struck.

It was also because he was certain Tian Liang was ruined with no chance of recovery that he had not made a move against Tian Liang after the Manor Master spoke up. Otherwise, he had plenty of ways to kill Tian Liang.

Like him, figures of Elder rank and above throughout the Alchemy Manor were more focused on this matter.

Because for Alchemy Masters, this held significant meaning.

If there was a Pill that could heal Spiritual Energy injuries, then they could fearlessly attempt to break through Realms they previously dared not challenge.

So, even if they opposed Tian Liang before, some were still happy.

The majority of those rejoicing were the independent Alchemy Masters.

Everyone in the Alchemy Manor knew Tian Liang was an independent Alchemy Master.

After Tian Liang became a Grand Advisor, it meant they had someone to rely on, and from now on, they no longer needed to live in fear. From now on, people from the powerful factions would no longer dare to persecute them.

But matters did not end there…

Soon, some disharmonious voices arose, opposing Tian Liang becoming a Grand Advisor, believing he lacked the qualifications.

And the number of supporters grew.

Clearly, Tian Liang’s existence touched upon certain people’s interests, causing them to unite against him.

The two Grand Advisors, Dong Yang and Yuo Hua, conveyed the voices within the Alchemy Manor to the Manor Master.

“Manor Master, these are the opinions of some Elders and Disciples.” Dong Yang placed a thick stack of papers before the Manor Master.

“Oh?” The Manor Master only responded faintly, not even bothering to flip through the thick papers, and directly said, “If they are dissatisfied with the Alchemy Manor, I permit them to leave!”

Though his voice was not loud, it made the two Grand Advisors tremble. They could tell that the Manor Master’s words were meant for them!

In the end, the two returned empty-handed, and soon those voices quieted down in the Alchemy Manor, with no one mentioning it again.

The Alchemy Manor was ultimately ruled by the Manor Master.

Tian Liang becoming a Grand Advisor was now an unchangeable fact, which also meant that the structure of the Alchemy Manor had changed!

Independent Alchemy Masters finally had a place in the Alchemy Manor!

As for Qin Yichen, he did not pay attention to these trivial matters.

Before his secluded cultivation, he visited the inn where Gongshu Zhiyi was staying and gave Lu Xiaoguan some instructions.

Although Lu Xiaoguan was reluctant, he still went to make the preparations.

Going to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City naturally required some means of self-defence, otherwise, wouldn’t he be at anyone’s mercy!?

After accompanying Gongshu Zhiyi for a day, Qin Yichen returned to his residence, preparing to begin refining the Flaming Heart Pill.

Whether he could advance further and step into the Spiritual Rupture Realm would depend on the efficacy of the Flaming Heart Pill.

Qin Yichen was very clear that his cultivation at the Spiritual Flow Realm was insufficient to enter the Feng Family’s eyes.
