Alchemy Master

Chapter 508, Pill Condensation

Translator: Silavin

Regardless of the fluctuating World Energy around him, Qin Yichen’s expression did not change. His mind was tightly focused on the transformations of the Pill embryo within the Pill Furnace.

At this crucial moment, he could not afford even the slightest distraction.

As time passed, the Pill embryo gradually became more rounded, with a faint red radiance emanating from within, rendering it as brilliant as a ruby.

*Hum…*

The instant the Pill erupted with radiance, rings of tangible energy ripples, with the Pill Furnace as their centre, they surged endlessly outwards in all directions. This continuous spectacle was magnificent.

*Whoosh!* In that instant, Qin Yichen swept his arm, and a barrier composed of Yuan Energy and Spiritual Energy immediately enveloped the residence where he was located.

This unusual activity would certainly attract others’ attention, and he did not want his attempt to fail due to an interruption!

“Condense!” After setting up the barrier, Qin Yichen forcefully slapped both hands on the surface of the Pill Furnace. Following his actions, the flames inside the Pill Furnace suddenly intensified, almost filling the entire furnace with scorching flames.

At the centre of these flames, a crimson point of light repeatedly contracted and expanded. With each cycle, it grew increasingly bright and dazzling!

Moreover, as this crimson point of light pulsated, waves of energy ripples spread more urgently from the Pill Furnace.

After approximately a quarter of an hour, the crimson point of light, as if brewing something, suddenly accelerated its pulsation, and at one moment, the crimson point violently contracted to its smallest size!

As the light point rapidly contracted, Qin Yichen’s face became solemn. Following a thought, his Spiritual Energy poured out unrestrained at this moment.

*Boom!…* About a minute later, the light point in the Pill Furnace, which had contracted to its limit, suddenly erupted with blindingly brilliant light, followed by a thunderous roar, and then a beam of light shot out from the furnace.

*Crack!* Under this beam of light, the barrier that Qin Yichen had casually set up proved useless, being destroyed with devastating ease. The brilliant beam of light broke through the roof, shooting straight into the sky.

Seeing this unusual activity, Qin Yichen only excitedly glanced at the crimson Pill in the Pill Furnace before hurriedly collecting it.

“A Perfect Fifth Grade Pill… If I had known, I would have found a more secluded place!”

After collecting the Pill and the Pill Furnace, looking at the lingering beam of light, Qin Yichen’s mouth twitched as he made a bitter smile, and his figure quietly departed.

The appearance of a Perfect Fifth Grade Pill would certainly attract the attention of everyone in the Alchemy Manor, and if he stayed here, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble.

“There… That’s where Qin Yichen was!?”

“This disturbance! This is a sign that a Perfect Fifth Grade Pill has been formed!?”

The moment the disturbance occurred, Tian Liang, who was in the room next to Qin Yichen’s, noticed it. Just as he hurriedly rushed to Qin Yichen’s place, he met Qin Yichen who was hastily leaving.

“Um, Elder Tian, I’ll leave this to you!”

Looking at Tian Liang’s dumbfounded face, Qin Yichen hurriedly waved and vanished from his sight in an instant.

“You…” Tian Liang’s mouth twitched repeatedly. Even for him, who had been promoted as a Grand Adviser, creating a Perfect Pill, and one of Fifth Grade, would have been very challenging.

This was because the Spiritual Energy consumption during the creation of such a Pill was too immense. Without Peak Spiritual Flow Realm Spiritual Energy, attempting to condense such a Pill would be nearly impossible.

Even for Human Grade Alchemy Masters at the Peak Spiritual Flow Realm, the success rate was extremely low, less than one in ten. Due to the enormous Spiritual Energy consumption, even if successfully created, its Grade would not be high, certainly not enough to cause such a disturbance.

“What’s happening?!”

“Who created a Pill that had caused such a commotion!?”

“It must be one of the Grand Advisers or Elders!”

“But that’s not the direction where the Grand Adviser Dong and Grand Adviser Yuo reside…”

“That direction, isn’t that where Qin Yichen lives?”

Simultaneously, exclamations of surprise echoed from various parts of the Alchemy Manor. The normally proud Alchemy Masters now had shocked expressions, rushing towards the source of the disturbance with no concern for appearances.

Noticing the commotion around him, Tian Liang could not help but cover his face with his hand. Qin Yichen’s escape clearly showed he did not want to be surrounded and observed, leaving this mess for him to explain…

“Wait, is that… Elder… Grand Adviser Tian!?”

Soon, a group of nearby Alchemy Masters arrived, and upon seeing the figure in front of the residence where the light beam had dissipated, someone immediately exclaimed.

“My goodness. He not only recovered from his Knowledge Sea injury but also created a Perfect Fifth Grade Pill just after recovering!?”

“Hmm… No wonder he was promoted to become a Grand Adviser!”

Hearing these surprised voices, Tian Liang’s mouth twitched involuntarily. [How had the Pill somehow become me who had refined it!?]

At this moment, no one noticed a figure, ghost-like, passing through the crowd without attracting any attention, silently slipping into the mountain range behind the Ten Corner Ancient City.

[I need to find a safe, secluded place.] After entering the mountain range, Qin Yichen surveyed the surrounding terrain, and his figure suddenly rose, nimbly landing atop a giant tree.

After scanning the lush mountainous forest, Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly, fixing on a spot, and he swiftly flew through the forest.

Finally, he landed on a mountainside where there was a naturally formed cave. The cave was positioned midway up a steep cliff, concealed by vines. It was extremely secluded!

Soon, his Spiritual Energy swept through the cave and found no signs of Demonic Beasts. Qin Yichen nodded with satisfaction, then without hesitation, flew directly into the cave.

The cave was not very large, but it was sufficient for Qin Yichen’s own use.

Afterwards, Qin Yichen casually consumed two Nourishing Spirit Pills, sat cross-legged on the ground, and activated the Spirit God Technique to recover his depleted Spiritual Energy.

Even with the effectiveness of the Spirit God Technique, it took half a day to recover the Spiritual Energy depleted in creating the Flaming Heart Pill.

After adjusting his condition, Qin Yichen somewhat impatiently took out a jade bottle. Through the somewhat transparent jade, a faint red radiance flickered.

“I hope you don’t disappoint me, otherwise, when I go there, I’ll only end up being humiliated…” Looking at the Flaming Heart Pill in the jade bottle, Qin Yichen remained silent for a while, then murmured.

Finally, Qin Yichen shook his head, slowly exhaled, and gently closed his eyes. His palm lightly tapped the bottom of the jade bottle, and a fiery red Pill shot into his slightly opened mouth.

In that instant, Qin Yichen’s hand moved swiftly, quickly forming the hand seal for his Spirit God Technique.

The Flaming Heart Pill dissolved as soon as it entered his mouth, transforming into a stream of pure energy that flowed like a raging river down his throat and into his meridians.

Silavin: So, Perfect __ Grade is the Level.
