Alchemy Master

Chapter 554, Inexplicable Circumstances

Translator: Silavin

Under this frenzied infusion, a swelling sensation suddenly erupted from within Qin Yichen’s body. At this moment, the Yuan Energy had become concentrated to an extreme limit, signalling that the meridians within his body could barely withstand it any longer.

If he continued to absorb the endless stream of World Energy being infused into him, he would very likely be unable to bear it and die from his body exploding.

In response to this, Qin Yichen merely gritted his teeth tightly. The World Energy within his body circulated frantically, and the Spirit Body Technique had been driven to its utmost limit.

Within his body, the dense World Energy condensed at his Dantian like a cyclone, and this cyclone continued to expand with the infusion of more World Energy.

Perceiving this scene within his body, Qin Yichen was somewhat stunned. With his current cultivation realm, breaking through to the Mid Stage Martial King Realm should have been a matter of time. How could such an unexpected turn of events occur?

[Damn it! Could it be because of the energy from the Spirit Seeds?] Suddenly, Qin Yichen’s consciousness stirred, as if he had discovered that within his white flame-like Yuan Energy, there were also wisps of white mist that matched the colour in his Martial Body Bead. It seemed that it was precisely because of this white mist that the World Energy was frantically surging in.

[I just need to quickly refine and absorb it!] Sensing that the swelling sensation within his body was becoming increasingly intense, beads of cold sweat could not help but seep from Qin Yichen’s forehead. Immediately, he exerted all his mental effort to control the circulation of energy, hoping to quickly refine the World Energy that was surging in violently.

However, his desperate efforts only provided slight relief; he was still completely unable to eliminate that swelling sensation.

[Damn it! Could I become the first person to die from self-explosion due to just cultivating normally!?] Feeling this scene, an extremely ridiculous thought arose in Qin Yichen’s mind.

Although among those who failed in martial cultivation, there were indeed many who died from their bodies exploding due to excessive energy, no one had ever heard of someone dying inexplicably from being burst by World Energy during a breakthrough!

However, the World Energy did not cease its infusion because of Qin Yichen’s thoughts. On the contrary, they seemed to become even more frenzied, continuously pouring in without end.

By the end, Qin Yichen’s nerves had become somewhat numb. At this moment, every corner of his meridians was filled with refined Yuan Energy. Looking from the outside, his body appeared bloated.

On his body’s surface, protruding veins resemble earthworms, ferociously spread across his skin. Overall, his entire person looked like a balloon that could be burst at any moment.

At this time, Qin Yichen’s entire consciousness was focused on his Dantian. Under his observation, he suddenly discovered that the originally dense cyclone suddenly had ripples spreading outward, and the volume of that cyclone began to mysteriously slowly shrink at this moment.

The volume of the cyclone in his Dantian grew smaller and smaller, but Qin Yichen was not overly worried because he could sense that although the volume was shrinking, the Yuan Energy contained within the cyclone was becoming increasingly dense.

Feeling the increasingly dense Yuan Energy cyclone, Qin Yichen gradually calmed his frightened heart. He currently felt that he could do nothing except quietly observe the cyclone’s changes.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, as Qin Yichen’s cyclone changed, the World Energy once again gathered rapidly, then surged frantically into Qin Yichen’s body. At this point, Qin Yichen no longer resisted the absorption, but accepted everything. Once refined, he allowed it to rush into his body and get consolidated into Yuan Energy.

Under this kind of refinement by World Energy, Qin Yichen suddenly discovered that his meridians, and even his bones, were being baptised by it, becoming more spacious and resilient.

[This… Meridian Refinement? But I’m not even at the Mid Stage Martial King Realm!] Perceiving this kind of change within his body, an extremely absurd thought flashed through Qin Yichen’s mind, but it was immediately dismissed, because such a thing simply should not happen to his body at this time.

Under this seemingly endless infusion, the cyclone in Qin Yichen’s Dantian spun rapidly. Having reached this step, Qin Yichen could no longer intervene. It was as if everything within his body was being controlled by that cyclone. Fortunately, this cyclone seemed to have no destructive nature; otherwise, Qin Yichen would truly be crying without tears.

Since the cyclone in his Dantian was not bringing him any harm, Qin Yichen’s consciousness also began to observe within his body. He seemed to be able to clearly feel that his physical body was becoming more resilient under wave after wave of World Energy crashes. This almost sublime pleasure nearly made him groan with comfort.

Meanwhile, at the Shen Family, the disturbance where Qin Yichen was located was immediately detected by Shen Fangu. Although he did not understand why Qin Yichen’s location would cause such a commotion, being cautious, he still joined with several Elders to set up a barrier around the small courtyard where Qin Yichen was located, to prevent discovery by the outside world.

After all, this was the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City where Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers resided. Even the slightest disturbance could attract attention to their Shen Family, which being a Second Tier Force, could not hope to bear.

This absorption continued for an unknown duration. The cyclone in Qin Yichen’s Dantian not only showed no signs of growth, but instead became smaller and smaller. By the end, it was no larger than a bean.

At this time, within this extremely small cyclone, there were Yuan Energy fluctuations that would cause even Peak Martial Kings to panic!

Under Qin Yichen’s observation, he vaguely saw that within the cyclone, the shapes of some liquid seemed to be faintly appearing.

*Buzz…* Suddenly, the suction force emanating from within Qin Yichen’s body abruptly stopped, and the rapidly spinning cyclone also came to a sudden halt. As it stopped, it seemed to be trembling.

“Hmm?” Perceiving this commotion, Qin Yichen was first stunned, then stared intently at that tiny cyclone. Sensing the terrifying fluctuation within this cyclone, his expression could not help but show some emotion.

At this moment, there was not a trace of Yuan Energy existing in his meridians. Also, the World Energy that had nearly burst his body earlier had now completely gathered within this cyclone no larger than a bean.

In his amazement, Qin Yichen could only silently pray in his heart that this cyclone would not act recklessly.

Although his meridians had been refined, they definitely could not withstand this seemingly insignificant small cyclone that had gathered all of his Yuan Energy!

Perhaps hearing Qin Yichen’s prayer, this cyclone trembled violently once, then the entire cyclone expanded to twice its size. Then, before Qin Yichen could react, it rapidly contracted again.

[What the hell? What’s happening!?] Qin Yichen’s face turned pale. According to his Spirit Body Technique cultivation method, this kind of phenomenon should not exist!
