Alchemy Master

Chapter 564, Seems Like There’s Something

Translator: Silavin

“You have to change the condition, or I absolutely won’t open it!”

Qin Yichen’s head seemed to have developed an addiction to shaking, constantly swaying as it touched against the two women.

If gazes could kill, Qin Yichen would definitely have been riddled with holes by the countless jealous stares, his body completely mangled.

“Fine, not opening is also acceptable!” Finally, Ouyang Wensu seemed unable to bear it any longer and shouted loudly. Hearing his voice, many gamblers looked over in confusion.

“Give me those two beauties, then kneel down and kowtow in apology, and today I’ll let you off!”

Under everyone’s gaze, Ouyang Wensu’s eyes flashed with lustful colour as he slowly spoke.

“It seems Ouyang Haotian doesn’t intend to let this matter rest.”

Hearing his proposal, many people with understanding hearts could see Ouyang Haotian’s intention in bringing Ouyang Wensu this time.

This was to ensure Qin Yichen would never be able to hold his head up again.

Even if Qin Yichen lost, it probably would not just be a matter of crawling out of here.

As his words fell, no one noticed a sharp glint flash through Qin Yichen’s eyes. Earlier he had deliberately acted unreasonably just to provoke these gamblers, but Ouyang Wensu’s words had already touched his bottom line.

Qin Yichen’s silence at this moment, in others’ eyes, seemed like he was weighing the difference between crawling out and kowtowing in apology.

After a while, a mocking glint flashed through Qin Yichen’s eyes. His expression appeared extremely helpless, as if using all his strength, he spat out two words. “Cut it then…”

His actions made it seem like this was a choice made under duress.

But it was just a Spirit Crystal.

Moreover, it was a Spirit Crystal that had been appraised by a Divine Appraiser and could be judged as trash.

Everyone felt that Qin Yichen was merely futilely struggling.

After the manager slowly nodded, the crystal cutter’s hands began to move, layers of crystal chips falling with *swoosh swoosh* sounds.

As that Spirit Crystal shrank, the mocking voices from the surrounding onlookers grew louder.

“Hehe, this time Ouyang Wensu has struck it rich, those two heavenly beauties…”

“This guy doesn’t know anything. To think this blockhead actually went to provoke him. He truly doesn’t know life from death.”

Amidst these discussions, Qin Yichen seemed to become increasingly nervous, even wanting to flee this place as the Spirit Crystal shrank.

However, the surroundings had long been blocked by people, leaving no opportunity to escape.

“Big Brother, they’re so annoying!”

The surrounding jeering made Gongshu Zhiyi’s delicate brows furrow slightly as she complained to Qin Yichen.

Qin Yichen did not speak, only secretly squeezed her soft, boneless little hand.

The little girl’s pretty face blushed slightly, lowering her head without speaking. It seemed that being held by his hand was also a very happy thing.

Compared to her, Shen Ling was currently full of worry.

Even though she wanted to believe in Qin Yichen, her heart was still unsettled. After all, this Spirit Crystal had been appraised as ‘trash’ by a Divine Appraiser!

Trash due to its price in comparison to the potential Spirit Seed inside.

No matter how capable Qin Yichen was, could he be more formidable than a Divine Appraiser?

This was obviously impossible.

Because Divine Appraisers were existences who had broken through past the Spiritual Rupture Realm!

As the Spirit Crystal continued to shrink, the smugness on Ouyang Haotian and Ouyang Wensu’s faces grew thicker.

Soon, that considerably large Spirit Crystal was reduced to the size of a round plate.

On the plate, that half crack made it look like a broken dish.

“Cut slowly from this point on.” At this moment, whether from nervousness or something else, Qin Yichen suddenly spoke up to remind them.

The crystal cutter frowned at him with some displeasure, but because the manager was present, he could only comply with Qin Yichen’s request and slow down.

“Just a dying struggle.”

Everyone around showed mocking expressions towards Qin Yichen.

*Swoosh swoosh swoosh…*

*Ding!*

The crystal cutter, who had become somewhat absent-minded, suddenly froze as his special blade seemed to touch something hard during his movements.

The crystal cutter was clearly stunned.

Obviously, he had never encountered such a situation before.

The blade in his hand was no ordinary object; otherwise, it could not cut through Shooting Star Spirit Crystals like cutting tofu.

Now, encountering resistance clearly meant touching something harder than the blade in his hand.

His sudden stop naturally drew everyone’s attention.

“What’s happening?” The first to ask was the Water Moon Crystal House manager beside him.

“Seems like there’s something…” The crystal cutter said with furrowed brows.

But after he moved the blade away, he did not see any crystalline colour. It clearly did not look like there was a Spirit Seed inside.

“There’s definitely a Spirit Seed, cut, continue cutting!” At this moment, Qin Yichen stepped forward with great swagger, excitedly shouting with an excited expression.

Everyone could not help but roll their eyes.

At the blade’s edge, it seemed similar in colour to the crystal.

If not a Spirit Seed, what else could it be?

Originally smug Ouyang Haotian and Ouyang Wensu were also somewhat puzzled, though they trusted Ouyang Zhutian’s judgement… in their minds, even if there was something inside, it would definitely just be trash.

The crystal cutter seemed curious as well, slowing down the cutting speed considerably, bit by bit…

“Something’s coming out!”

Someone with sharp eyes suddenly shouted, drawing everyone’s attention.

On that crystal that looked like a broken plate, at the other end of the gap, a crystalline colour was showing.

It was exactly the colour of a Spirit Seed!

“How is this possible!?”

Originally calm Ouyang Haotian and Ouyang Wensu immediately pushed through the crowd. After seeing that crystalline glint, both their eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

A Spirit Seed really came out!

Moreover, looking at that colour, it clearly was not any ordinary Spirit Seed.

If it were a Low Grade Spirit Seed it would be fine; having cut out two ordinary Spirit Seeds, they could still claim victory. But if what came out was a Mid Grade Spirit Seed!?

Winning or losing aside, this face-slapping would hit Ouyang Zhutian hard.

This was personally declared as waste by Ouyang Zhutian, yet it produced a Spirit Seed!

Seeming to sense some unusual gazes falling on them, both Ouyang Haotian and Ouyang Wensu’s expressions became rather unsightly.

“Move aside, move aside.” At this moment, Qin Yichen also squeezed in. Seeing that crystalline glint, his eyes revealed wild joy as he laughed loudly, “Haha, as expected there’s a Spirit Seed, as expected of a treasure. No wonder it sells for over a million gold coins, not bad, not bad…”

Whether intentionally or not, he insisted on calling this Spirit Crystal a treasure.

Ouyang Wensu’s face burned hotly, wanting to argue angrily, but seeing Qin Yichen staring at him sideways, he gave up on verbal sparring.

“This…”

The surrounding onlookers, seeing that smug-faced Qin Yichen, did not know what to say.
