Alchemy Master

Chapter 844, Gentle Haven

If he had not thought carefully about it, even Qin Yichen himself had not realized that this region, which the Sacred Lands almost dismissed as barren, concealed so many secrets.

However, he currently lacked the ability to investigate this region’s secrets.

Especially the Fallen God Abyss.

Without the protective talisman bestowed by that mysterious old man, he absolutely could not have withdrawn safely.

That mysterious old man, who had lived for untold ages and continuously guarded the Fallen God Abyss, possessed unfathomable cultivation. Perhaps that mysterious old man knew some unknown secrets.

Qin Yichen had intended for Feng Wentian to investigate at the Fallen God Abyss, but no news had been sent back.

After meeting him last time, that mysterious old man had left and had not returned until now.

Qin Yichen did not know where he had gone, but only that mysterious old man could answer the puzzles in his heart!

After leaving the Extreme Flame Zone, the two stayed in Twilight City for a day without alerting anyone, then continued forward, once again returning to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty.

“It’s about time to return to the Sacred Land…” Qin Yichen was reluctant to leave everyone, but he had no choice but to embark on his journey again.

He had to become even stronger to deal with anything that might happen!

…

That day, he met with several close female friends at Heavenly Dragon Imperial City’s Alchemy Council: Lin Miaohan, Li Lingyan, Liu Qiong’er, and others.

“Wow, Big Sister Miaohan is becoming more and more beautiful…”

“*Tsk tsk* Whoever can marry Miss Qiong’er as his Wife will truly have the greatest fortune…”

Seeing Qin Yichen still so smooth-talking, the women’s moods became cheerful.

They had thought that after achieving such great heights, Qin Yichen might have forgotten them. They had not expected that his attitude toward them had not changed at all.

While the women were delighted, their hearts felt somewhat melancholic.

Because they had always wanted to work hard to catch up to Qin Yichen’s footsteps, yet never imagined the gap would only grow wider.

They had the Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique given by Qin Yichen, as well as advanced Alchemy Techniques, already far surpassing ordinary people. Even in the Six Imperial Dynasties, these women were all now quite famous. Among the younger generation, no one could compare with them.

However, the gap with Qin Yichen had not narrowed but instead grew ever greater.

Qin Yichen saw their sorrow and made a promise. “After I establish myself in the Sacred Land, I will definitely bring you there.”

“Are you really telling the truth?” Lin Miaohan’s eyes lit up.

All of this seemed like a miracle to her. This little follower who had trailed behind her since childhood had rewritten her whole life.

The status and achievements she now possessed always gave her an unreal, even dreamlike feeling. She feared this was all a dream that, once broken, would return to how things were.

“When have I ever deceived you?” Qin Yichen grasped her soft, boneless hand and said with a grin.

These words put the women at ease.

Indeed, after establishing himself in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, Qin Yichen had brought them here. Then they entered Central Province’s Alchemy Tower, then Twilight City, and now Heavenly Dragon Imperial City.

This proved that Qin Yichen had never forgotten them.

Afterward, Qin Yichen continued telling interesting stories, making the women giggle. Especially when he spoke of Li Yuanba and Mu Yanzhen’s matters, the women were both embarrassed and amused.

Not until nightfall did Qin Yichen return to Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce headquarters.

Feng Qianxue was not there. She was staying in a room with Shu Xin, seemingly deliberately leaving personal space for Qin Yichen.

Qin Yichen found Shu Ruyan in the study.

She remained very busy. Even though it was already evening, people constantly entered and exited the study.

When Qin Yichen entered the room, five or six people were inside, holding account books and waiting for Shu Ruyan to review and approve them.

After seeing Qin Yichen enter, they moved to salute but he stopped them. Then they silently withdrew.

Shu Ruyan remained completely unaware, still carefully reviewing the thick account book in her hands, occasionally circling entries with her pen, making notes, her delicate brows knitting and releasing from time to time.

Now, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce grew so large, one could say it was the top Business Alliance in the Six Imperial Dynasties!

However, Shu Ruyan had to manage all these affairs, and she managed them alone.

Watching this rather haggard woman, Qin Yichen could not help but feel heartache. Then he pulled the account book from her hands.

“Who…” Shu Ruyan froze, about to rebuke angrily, when her body lightened. Qin Yichen lifted her up. She only felt her delicate body collide with a strong, powerful embrace. Then, after a moment of floating sensation, she opened her eyes to see a boundless starry sky.

Qin Yichen sat on the roof, drawing her into his embrace, burying his head in her hair, breathing in the fragrance that belonged to her.

“Put me down.” Shu Ruyan said coquettishly, as if afraid someone might see, somewhat bashful. “I still have unfinished work. Later I’ll…”

“Mm…” Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed. She felt herself floating, all worries dissipating.

After a long while, Qin Yichen finally raised his head. However, those lips had already been sucked slightly swollen by him. Then he said seriously, “From now on, let others handle those matters. Don’t exhaust yourself.”

“But…” Shu Ruyan’s brows knitted slightly.

“No buts. If you continue like this, I’ll disband the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce!” Qin Yichen gave her no opportunity to explain.

Although having Shu Ruyan personally manage things would certainly be more secure, to him, the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was far less important than Shu Ruyan’s health.

Moreover, no matter how powerful a commercial empire, without an absolute Martial Force to protect it, was ultimately just empty talk.

“You… are too domineering.” Shu Ruyan understood he was concerned about her. Her heart immediately sweetened as she nestled against him like a docile woman, her small hand resting on that solid chest, boundless security rising within her heart.

Perhaps only Qin Yichen could melt this woman, publicly acknowledged one of the most formidable throughout the Six Imperial Dynasties.

The two sat on the roof just like that until sunrise.

Qin Yichen stayed several more days in the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty. During the day, he bantered with Lin Miaohan and the others. At night, he was intimate with Shu Ruyan. It was so pleasant that he continued not wanting to leave.

However, the day of parting would ultimately come.

On the third day, Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue returned to the Feng Family.

Before the Transport Array…

Watching Feng Qianxue tightly grasping Qin Yichen’s hand, Feng Wentian’s lips could not help but twitch fiercely.

They were about to leave, about to go to the Sacred Land, yet his Daughter had not said goodbye to him but continued clinging to Qin Yichen’s side. This made him frustrated to say the least.

So much so that he showed no pleasant expression in front of Qin Yichen.

Not until the Transport Array activated did he instruct Qin Yichen, “I entrust everything to you!”

“Rest assured, I will not disappoint Uncle Feng.” Qin Yichen responded with utmost solemnity.
