Alchemy Master

Chapter 801, Something Carelessly Concocted

Translator: Silavin

When the different medicinal liquids fused together, a single moment of carelessness could trigger an explosion. This time, Qin Yichen did not even borrow the assistance of a Pill Furnace, which inevitably caused Dong Yu and Bai Ling to feel concerned.

Qin Yichen’s gaze gradually sharpened with focus.

It was time for the concept of Compound Pills to appear in their vision…

“Watch carefully!” Under Qin Yichen’s control, those two masses of medicinal liquid with different properties collided together, then under his precise control, rapidly separated.

Three such collisions.

With each collision, Qin Yichen would fuse some Withered Frost Grass medicinal liquid into the two types of medicinal liquid.

Although on the surface, the two types of medicinal liquid showed no visible difference, in reality, they had already become vastly different.

Dong Yu clearly discovered that the two masses of medicinal liquid that had reacted violently during the first collision had obviously become much more stable by the third collision.

Of course, this was shown in slow motion. Qin Yichen had deliberately slowed down so they could observe clearly.

Next, Qin Yichen controlled all the Withered Frost Grass medicinal liquid, enveloping those two masses of medicinal liquid.

Under the coverage of the Withered Frost Grass medicinal liquid, the two masses of medicinal liquid continued to collide, repeating this process nine times…

“Condense!” As Qin Yichen’s voice rang out in a heavy tone, the two masses of medicinal liquid collided once more. This time, they did not separate again, completely fusing into one unified whole.

The entire process, although Qin Yichen had already slowed his movements, had taken merely several minutes from start to finish.

“This…”

Witnessing with their own eyes these two masses of medicinal liquid that should have been impossible to fuse together merge into one unified entity, Dong Yu and Bai Ling once again stood dumbstruck.

Especially Bai Ling. Her small mouth hung open, yet she forgot to close it. Her already large eyes widened into perfect circles, her pupils revealing complete and utter disbelief.

She simply could not find words to describe her current state of mind.

As for Dong Yu, his heart surged with tumultuous emotions. After the initial shock passed, his emotions became somewhat agitated.

His perspective on matters naturally differed from Bai Ling’s superficial observations. From the entire process of Qin Yichen’s refinement, he could discern that this youth before him was definitely not achieving this fusion for the first time.

His movements were too fluid for that!

It even made Dong Yu feel somewhat absurd. This whole process resembled how he himself would refine ordinary Pills. Moreover, most critically, Qin Yichen’s level of control made him, an Late Stage Earth Grade Alchemist, feel somewhat ashamed.

“That matter with Ning Li… from how you are capable of this… You deliberately intervened to assist him, didn’t you?”

Dong Yu truly lived up to his position as the Outer Sect Manager of South Brilliant Hall. Very quickly, he calmed down. Connecting this to previous events, he could not help but question Qin Yichen.

From Qin Yichen’s movements, he could tell that Qin Yichen was absolutely not a reckless person. How could such a person commit such a basic error as disturbing someone else’s Alchemy process?

In that case, the truth behind the Ning Li incident had only one explanation: Qin Yichen had acted deliberately to assist him.

“I merely went with the flow. Actually, as long as Senior Brother Ning persevered, in just a few years, he would have succeeded.” Qin Yichen did not claim credit arrogantly.

The way Dong Yu looked at him changed somewhat. [This young man is neither arrogant nor impatient.]

In Qin Yichen’s bearing, he saw none of that restless arrogance characteristic of young Alchemists.

This was extremely rare.

Moreover, he clearly understood that matters were not as simple as Qin Yichen made them sound.

Persist for several years?

Easier said than done.

How many periods of several years could an Alchemist waste? Especially a young Alchemist. If he devoted several years of time and energy to something that was almost impossibly achievable, he would inevitably fall behind, ultimately leading a mediocre life.

Such examples were not uncommon.

If his calculations proved correct, Ning Li and the others would persist for several months at most. That would already be considered a long-term commitment.

“This matter must be reported to higher authorities!” Subsequently, Dong Yu took the Pill that Qin Yichen had refined, along with that mass of fused medicinal liquid, and hastily departed.

“Wouldn’t have expected you to actually have some capability.” Bai Ling’s large eyes blinked as she regarded Qin Yichen.

She was also an Alchemist. However, what she enjoyed doing was not refining Pills, but rather formulating new medicines and improving existing Pills. Each time she could formulate a new medicine or slightly improve a Pill, it gave her an unprecedented sense of accomplishment.

“Just something I carelessly concocted while playing around with mud. It is nothing worth mentioning, nothing worth mentioning…”

He clearly harboured some resentment towards her. Telling him, an Alchemist Saint to play with mud!? Hmph!

“You insufferable little…!” Bai Ling immediately glared at him, then angrily turned and walked out.

Qin Yichen wore a mischievous smile as he followed behind her, arriving in the grand hall.

“Make way, Senior Brothers, please make way…” Within the grand hall, some commotion seemed to be occurring near the entrance.

“This person’s practically dying already. What’s the point of bringing him to our Southern Brilliant Hall?”

Someone seemed dissatisfied and couldn’t help but rebuke aloud.

“Hmm?” Qin Yichen merely cast a glance in that direction and spotted two somewhat familiar faces.

He remembered those two individuals. They appeared to be the two newcomers who had been bullied by Yi Buzui. However, at this moment, these two newcomers’ faces were written with frantic urgency.

“What’s happened?” Immediately, Qin Yichen strode towards them.

Bai Ling, observing his actions, curiously followed.

“Senior Brothers, we beg you to bestow us a few Pills. We two Brothers will certainly repay with Contribution Points in the future!”

Although these two were newcomers, within their own Imperial Dynasty, they had been Heaven’s Chosen. Yet now, they humbled themselves before others, practically on the verge of kowtowing.

“A person on death’s door like this. No matter how many Pills you use, we would merely be wasting them!”

“Carry him out, carry him out. This is the Southern Brilliant Hall. How can we permit blood to taint this place…”

“Leave quickly, leave quickly…”

These noble Alchemists showed them no courtesy.

What they stated was factual truth, because the person these two were carrying had injuries far too severe. His chest had completely collapsed inward. White bone was exposed, and through that split wound, one could even see the ruptured internal organs within…

With internal organs ruptured, what Pill could possibly save him?

Actually, those two newcomers understood this as well.

With ruptured internal organs, even within their Imperial Dynasty, it was basically a death sentence. Even those who were fortunately saved would live only a few years due to the ruptured organs…

They were merely clinging to desperate hope, which was why they had carried the person here.

At this moment, Qin Yichen had already pushed through the crowd. His gaze fell directly upon that blood-soaked, mangled body. Immediately, a surge of murderous intent swept forth from his frame.

“Who dares!?”

Those Alchemists were all startled. Just as the surrounding Sacred Land experts were about to apprehend Qin Yichen till they noticed Bai Ling standing behind him.

“Miss Bai Ling?”

That expert who had instantly appeared beside Qin Yichen, an expert who had surpassed the Martial Emperor Realm, regarded Bai Ling with some confusion as she blocked his path.

His duty was to protect the Alchemists within this Southern Brilliant Hall. Qin Yichen had released murderous intent, so logically, he could directly eliminate this hidden threat!
