Alchemy Master

Chapter 549, Such Good Luck

Translator: Silavin

Qin Yichen appeared as though his complexion had turned ashen due to cutting open so much waste material, but what everyone did not know was that his heart was already secretly blooming with joy. Among the nearly two million gold coins worth of Shooting Star Spirit Crystals he had selected earlier, several pieces containing Spirit Seeds had already been quietly pocketed by him without anyone noticing!

Seeing that the waste material had been cut open almost completely, and apart from the Spirit Seed obtained earlier, on the surface, he had still lost nearly one million gold coins overall.

Cutting open Shooting Star Spirit Crystals truly came quickly and went even faster!

“Young Master, do you wish to continue cutting?” After finishing the Shooting Star Spirit Crystals before him, the crystal cutter looked towards Qin Yichen, asking with a professional smile.

Around them, gazes began to wander, as in their view, this young man’s good fortune had come to an end. Actually, within the Water Moon Crystal House, there was no shortage of people with extremely good luck who had once struck it rich by cutting open Spirit Seeds.

However, most of those who had cut open Spirit Seeds became greedy and not only squandered the wealth obtained from the Spirit Seeds, but even lost everything they had, ending up bankrupt!

In their eyes, Qin Yichen was no different from this type of person.

Looking at the pile of broken crystals beside the crystal cutter, everyone knew that Qin Yichen had already cut open at least over one million gold coins worth of Shooting Star Spirit Crystals!

“Cut!” Sure enough, Qin Yichen gritted his teeth and pointed to the two pieces of Shooting Star Spirit Crystals that had not yet been cut.

“Alas, another hot-headed youth!”

“Doesn’t know when to quit while ahead. Pitiful, likely another person who will lose his entire fortune!”

“Hehe, in Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, there are quite a few gambling addicts like him.”

Nearby, watching Qin Yichen whose emotions seemed somewhat agitated due to the crystal cutting results, many people whispered softly. The mocking and teasing expressions from before had once again returned to their faces.

When Qin Yichen had selected the Shooting Star Spirit Crystals earlier, they had all watched. These two pieces seemed to be the highest priced among his selections, but they had not exceeded three hundred thousand gold coins!

“Very well, Young Master, please wait a moment!”

The crystal cutter accepted the two Shooting Star Spirit Crystals with a smile, his hands dancing once again as layers of crystal fragments continuously fell away. The first piece of Shooting Star Spirit Crystal was completely unsurprising, turning into a pile of crystal fragments. Forget about any light, there was not even a single hair to be found.

Before the crystal cutter, only the last piece of Shooting Star Spirit Crystal remained!

This Spirit Crystal was priced at three hundred and sixty thousand gold coins, and was also the most expensive piece among the Shooting Star Spirit Crystals that Qin Yichen had selected. Upon its surface, there was faintly a layer of Spiritual Energy wrapping around it, making it appear quite promising for cutting open a Spirit Seed.

However, anyone who understood this trade even slightly knew that this type of faint Spiritual Energy wrapping around Shooting Star Spirit Crystals did not represent that there was a Spirit Seed within, because countless people had been deceived by this thin layer of light!

The crystal cutter shook his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised as his hands danced once again. Layer upon layer of powder began to fall from the Shooting Star Spirit Crystal before him. However, this time, the powder had only just begun to fall when a gleam of light appeared.

“Heavens! Another strike!?”

“Bloody Hell! No way? Does this guy really have Heaven-defying luck?!”

“A newborn Calf fears no Tiger. This new Calf fears neither Heaven nor Hell, But then again, why should he when his luck is so bloody good!”

Less than ten pieces of Shooting Star Spirit Crystals, yet two pieces containing Spirit Seeds had been cut open!

In the eyes of the onlookers, this was already unimaginable luck. If everyone had this kind of probability, then establishments like the Water Moon Crystal House would have no business left to conduct!

“Haha, another Spirit Seed!” At this moment, Qin Yichen also burst into laughter, wearing an expression as though happiness had come so suddenly.

“Hehe, Young Master’s luck is truly excellent. I have been cutting Shooting Star Spirit Crystals in the Water Moon Crystal House for over ten years, and someone with Young Master’s fortune is truly rare to come by.” Having cut open two Spirit Seeds, the crystal cutter’s expression did not change all that much. He merely remarked with some emotion.

[Nonsense, you think this is luck? If someone without Divine Eyes had such Heaven-defying fortune, do you think many of us who suffered would let that bastard go?] Qin Yichen also chuckled inwardly. These were all losses he had suffered before. Otherwise, without having awakened his Divine Eyes, he would not have possessed such ability.

Naturally, while thinking thus coldly in his heart, on the surface Qin Yichen still pretended to hold his nose high, displaying an air of smugness!

“Young Master, why not take advantage of your luck and cut open some more?” Watching Qin Yichen’s arrogant demeanour, the crystal cutter secretly shook his head and casually enquired.

“Cut! Of course I must cut. Today, this Young Master will not only cut, but cut open a High Grade Spirit Seed!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yichen clapped his hands together and declared domineeringly in a loud voice.

“High Grade Spirit Seeds…”

Hearing these four words, those in the Water Moon Crystal House fell silent. High Grade Spirit Seeds were rare treasures that even the Water Moon Crystal House might not see one of in an entire year!

“What a fool!”

“He’s just a brat, a small brat. Even at this point, he doesn’t know when to quit while he is ahead!”

“Just wait to see him crying. This type of gambler won’t feel comfortable until he’s lost everything!”

Subsequently, cold laughter quietly arose. Qin Yichen’s mannerism was far too much like a gambler who was completely addicted and was unable to extricate himself from this.

This type of gambler was far too common in the various Crystal Houses, so everyone was accustomed to it. They merely mocked secretly without anyone attempting to intervene.

“Young Master, High Grade Spirit Seeds are rather difficult to get. Why not visit the second floor of our Water Moon Crystal House? The Shooting Star Spirit Crystals there have a greater probability of being able to cut open High Grade Spirit Seeds.”

Seeing Qin Yichen’s attitude, the crystal cutter completely regarded him as a gambler and immediately smiled while encouraging him.

“Excellent, let us go to the second floor! And you there, help me exchange these two Spirit Seeds for gold coins!”

Subsequently, Qin Yichen waved his hand and called out to a Water Moon Crystal House staff member.

Exchanging Spirit Seeds for gold coins was quite common in the Water Moon Crystal House, and there were even clearly marked prices. Low Grade Spirit Seeds cost one million five hundred thousand gold coins each.

Soon, Qin Yichen’s Feng Family gold card contained three million gold coins.

“Let us go. Today, this Young Master absolutely must get a High Grade Spirit Seed!” Waving the gold card in his hand, Qin Yichen declared boldly with great vigour, then strode towards the second floor.

Behind him, a large group of gamblers immediately swarmed up, instantly causing the originally quiet second floor to become noisy.

Shen Ling watched Qin Yichen, who seemed to have become a different person, with some bewilderment. She was quite puzzled in her heart. Did he truly have such good luck? Had he really become addicted to this gambling-natured cutting of Shooting Star Spirit Crystals?

Due to her concern, Shen Ling did not leave but instead followed Gongshu Zhiyi into the second floor. After all, Qin Yichen had promised to help Shen Fangu break through to Earth Grade Alchemy Master. He must not lose everything and become a muddled gambling addict!
