Alchemy Master

Chapter 547, Changes Brought by the Golden Card

Translator: Silavin

As soon as Ouyang Haotian spoke, Qin Yichen understood his intention.

He wanted to put him in an awkward position.

This was quite normal!

He was also clear that Ouyang Haotian knew about his background. Someone who came from a small place like the Great Prosperity Grand Empire could not possibly possess such substantial capital.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Haotian was destined to have chosen the wrong person to target.

Compared to Qin Yichen’s composure, Shen Ling behind him went pale when she saw Ouyang Haotian and the several young men behind him.

Although these people before her might not recognise her, she certainly recognised them.

Each of these people was a Young Master from the Imperial City, and each person’s identity required her Shen Family to show deference to, or even curry favour with.

Perhaps even if they offended the Qian Family, the Qian Family could not do much to the Shen Family. However, each of these people before her had the ability to make the Shen Family unable to establish themselves in the Imperial City!

Even the somewhat fallen Ouyang Family was absolutely not a Force the Shen Family could afford to provoke.

The difference between these Families and the Qian Family was that the Qian Family was an emerging power, while they were veteran Imperial Dynasty Families that had existed since the establishment of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty.

During these long years, through rises and falls, countless emerging Forces had their moments of brilliance, shining dazzlingly as if none could match them. However, they all proved to be like fleeting blossoms, quickly disappearing into the river of history, with some falling to become Second or Third Tier Forces.

The reason for Shen Ling’s change in expression was that she could naturally see that this Ouyang Haotian was obviously looking for trouble!

Her gaze towards Qin Yichen became somewhat complicated.

[He must have lied to me! He claimed to come from some small place, yet he is clearly familiar with the Young Master of the Ouyang Family, and there is even enmity between them! If he truly were a small character, would he not have been eliminated by Ouyang Haotian long ago?]

Looking at his composed countenance, Shen Ling increasingly felt that she could not understand him.

“I really would like to try.” Qin Yichen did not show the change in expression that Ouyang Haotian had expected. On the contrary, he responded quite casually, then randomly pointed at a Shooting Star Spirit Crystal. “This piece then.”

It was precisely the piece of Shooting Star Spirit Crystals he had opened in his previous life.

He felt it necessary to give Ouyang Haotian a surprise.

That piece of Shooting Star Spirit Crystals was unremarkable. Although it was somewhat better than scrap, it was still classified as lower than Low Grade.

“Master, this Shooting Star Spirit Crystal you have selected is priced at two hundred and forty thousand gold coins. Please come with me to make payment. If you require it, our Moon Water Crystal House has professional personnel who can cut it open for you.”

The beautiful attendant’s voice remained as sweet as before, unchanged despite Qin Yichen’s choice of an unremarkable Shooting Star Spirit Crystal.

“Hmmm, two hundred and forty thousand gold coins?” Ouyang Haotian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Obviously, he thought Qin Yichen had deliberately chosen a piece of inferior Spirit Crystal that he could barely afford.

However, he still did not believe that Qin Yichen could produce over two hundred thousand gold coins!

“Take this to process the payment, and call someone over. Let’s cut it here.” Qin Yichen withdrew his hand, and a golden card appeared between his fingers, which he openly handed to the beautiful female attendant.

“A golden card from the Feng Family!?” The people standing here were all knowledgeable individuals who immediately recognised what that golden card was.

Of course, except for Gongshu Zhiyi.

The Feng Family golden card could be said to be an absolute symbol of status and wealth!

Among the people present, apart from Gongshu Zhiyi and Shen Ling who did not possess one, all the people on Ouyang Haotian’s side had them.

After seeing Qin Yichen produce that golden card, the several people beside Ouyang Haotian looked at Ouyang Haotian with somewhat strange expressions.

They were all perfectly clear about what kind of person Ouyang Haotian was and what he was doing.

Speaking of which, originally due to the heavy losses suffered that time, with too many strong members of the Ouyang Family falling, they might very well have declined to become a First Tier Force within the Imperial Dynasty.

However, the Feng Family had helped the Ouyang Family.

Moreover, the Ouyang Family itself had shown promise, producing a gifted figure like Ouyang Haotian. If nothing unexpected happened, Ouyang Haotian would definitely become one of the Imperial Dynasty’s formidable experts.

Ouyang Haotian’s pursuit of the Feng Family’s Feng Qianxue had also become widely known.

The Feng Family had also tacitly approved due to Ouyang Haotian’s talent.

This matter had further made Ouyang Haotian a prominent figure among the Imperial Dynasty’s younger generation.

At the same time, from this aspect, one could also see the intimate relationship between Ouyang Haotian and the Feng Family.

However, at present, this young man, who obviously had enmity with Ouyang Haotian possessed a golden card from the Feng Family. This made them start thinking.

Of course, they were not clear about the relationship between Qin Yichen and Ouyang Haotian.

They now thought that the Feng Family had tacitly approved another suitor.

After all, Qin Yichen did not appear to be the small character from a small place that Ouyang Haotian claimed him to be. Moreover, his calm attitude when facing them was not something that could be feigned!

Furthermore, they discovered that one of the women behind Qin Yichen even looked at them with… impatience!?

Was there a woman in the Imperial City who showed impatience towards them?

There were indeed some, but they were as rare as Phoenix feathers and Qilin horns, and each one was no inferior to them in terms of status.

This seemed to also indicate that the woman behind Qin Yichen did not fear their identities.

After making these judgments, they distanced themselves slightly from Ouyang Haotian. Although these were only small actions, Ouyang Haotian still noticed them, and immediately, the smile on his face could no longer be seen.

Obviously, they did not wish to become involved in the dispute between Ouyang Haotian and Qin Yichen.

Ouyang Haotian very much wanted to curse and tell them about Qin Yichen’s true background, but when he was about to speak, he himself felt it was somewhat far-fetched.

He was even beginning to doubt Qin Yichen’s background.

Moreover, in Ouyang Haotian’s view, Qin Yichen had always been deliberately approaching him and Feng Qianxue.

He could see that Qin Yichen’s target was Feng Qianxue!

However, he was certain that before this, Qin Yichen had not had contact with anyone from the Feng Family. Otherwise, when they were at World Aplenty Hall, Feng Jianzhong could not possibly have not recognised Qin Yichen.

Then, after he had left, what exactly had happened to make the Feng Family actually give Qin Yichen a golden card!?

He very much wanted to ask about these matters. However, Ouyang Haotian himself knew that these were Feng Family secrets, not something an outsider like him could inquire about.

While the two were engaged in silent confrontation, the female attendant had already returned after processing the payment with the golden card, with an elderly man following behind her.

“Young Master, please take your golden card.” After she returned the golden card to Qin Yichen, she continued, “This is our Moon Water Crystal House’s professional crystal cutter. Would you like to begin cutting the Spirit Crystal now?”

“Yes, just start.” Qin Yichen put away the golden card and nodded.

Then, the crystal cutter brought over a table, placed that Shooting Star Spirit Crystal on the table surface, and began cutting it.
