Alchemy Master

Chapter 983, So Poor

Translator: Silavin

Qin Yichen naturally understood what consequences his actions would produce.

However, even if given another opportunity, he would still act the same way.

This sort of situation was absolutely inescapable!

Unless he was willing to abandon Feng Qianxue.

Since he could never abandon Feng Qianxue, regardless of what he did, regardless of his attitude, ultimately he would offend Ying Xinghui. Since that was the case, he might as well offend him directly and decisively.

He, Qin Yichen, was not the type who enjoyed wronging himself. Moreover, what did Ying Xinghui amount to?! Could Ying Xinghui truly possess status equal to his own?!

He, Qin Yichen, was an honoured guest of Saints Heavenly Manor, an Alchemy Saint that stood at the pinnacle!

While Ying Xinghui’s highest achievement would merely be a Sacred Land’s Sacred Master.

Perhaps Ying Xinghui could not comprehend why Qin Yichen could regard him with contempt, but Qin Yichen genuinely possessed the qualifications to hold him in contempt!

[If others don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them! If others provoke me, I will certainly provoke them in return!]

This was Qin Yichen’s philosophy of conduct.

He never borrowed his own status to oppress anyone. He could interact amicably with people of any status.

However, if someone bullied him, he absolutely would not submit passively.

His heart remained that of the proud Alchemy Saint!

Only during ordinary times, he buried that pride deep within his heart.

…

The three of them walked out of the Treasure Area.

*Phew…* After emerging, Qin Yichen exhaled.

Naturally this was not because of Ying Xinghui’s matter, but rather, he had encountered an extremely awkward situation… he lacked enough Spirit Liquid to purchase anything.

Forgetting the Mysterious Purple Cloud Vine, even the other supplementary materials for the Purple Cloud Pill were beyond his means!

His eyes could not help but brim with tears.

In his previous life, as an Alchemy Saint, Spirit Liquid was the one thing he never lacked…

[That’s right, Spirit Liquid!] Suddenly, Qin Yichen’s eyes brightened.

How was Spirit Liquid obtained?

Peak Grade Spirit Seeds.

How were Peak Grade Spirit Seeds obtained?

Opening Shooting Star Spirit Crystals!

In his previous life, he had frequently come to this Ancient Jade Pavilion to open Shooting Star Spirit Crystals.

Although his primary focus was Pill refinement, simultaneously, he was also a Divine Appraiser!

While his current Crystal Appraisal Technique fell short of his previous life, he possessed experience. Moreover, amongst the Shooting Star Spirit Crystals within this Ancient Jade Pavilion, how many had he not examined before?

To say he knew them intimately was no exaggeration.

Of course, the current Shooting Star Spirit Crystals would certainly differ somewhat, but there would always be familiar ones.

“Let’s go to the Spirit Crystal Area!” Qin Yichen pulled Feng Qianxue and walked towards the Spirit Crystal Area.

The Spirit Crystal Area.

This was absolutely Ancient Jade Pavilion’s liveliest location.

Naturally, those who could come here all possessed considerable status. Sometimes even people from Heavenly Martial Domain, Sword Feather Gate, and Lunar Palace would come here to test their luck.

The Shooting Star Spirit Crystals within Ancient Jade Pavilion could not be compared to those in ordinary city Crystal Houses.

According to legend, every Shooting Star Spirit Crystal in Ancient Jade Pavilion was selected from the finest portions of meteorites. It could almost be said that every Shooting Star Spirit Crystal possessed approximately a fifty percent probability of yielding Peak Grade Spirit Seeds.

In other words, amongst every two Shooting Star Spirit Crystals, one might contain Peak Grade Spirit Seeds!

Therefore, the prices were extraordinarily expensive. Every Shooting Star Spirit Crystal costs at minimum one thousand drops of Spirit Liquid. This was equivalent to ten Shooting Star Spirit Crystals.

Why were the prices so high? The reason was naturally that within these Shooting Star Spirit Crystals, one might not merely obtain Peak Grade Spirit Seeds!

Those who came here naturally were not seeking Peak Grade Spirit Seeds.

For them, Peak Grade Spirit Seeds could no longer satisfy their needs.

Five-Coloured Profound Stones.

Five-Coloured Profound Stones had limited applications: only one… they could be refined into Saint Grade Weapons!

Moreover, they constituted the world’s only material capable of being refined into Saint Grade Weapons.

Saints wielded the mighty power of Principles.

The might of Principles could not be borne by just anything. Even this world’s hardest metals could not withstand the might of Principles.

Five-Coloured Profound Stones, having absorbed the essence of celestial bodies beyond the stars, and manifesting as metal within meteorites, could bear the might of said Principles.

Therefore, one could say Five-Coloured Profound Stones were objects over which even Saints would fight desperately.

Saints were not few in this world.

However, those possessing Saint Grade Weapons numbered less than one in a hundred.

Within the Twelve Sacred Lands’ territories, only Roaring Heaven Sacred Land possessed a Saint Grade Weapon left by their predecessor. Therefore, Roaring Heaven Sacred Land could maintain its lofty position. Even when Roaring Heaven Sacred Land trampled on their agreements, Radiance Sacred Land dared not express the slightest dissatisfaction.

This was the deterrent power derived from Saint Grade Weapons.

The Azure Wave Sacred Sword that Ling Tuyai had produced previously was not a Saint Grade Weapon. It was merely a weapon the Azure Wave Saint had used during his lifetime.

Calling it a Saint Grade Weapon was simply respectful acknowledgement of the Azure Wave Saint.

Which Saint did not wish to refine their own Saint Grade Weapon?!

However, the rarity of Five-Coloured Profound Stones left these Saints who had reached the Saint Realm only able to sigh.

This also caused Five-Coloured Profound Stones to become amongst the world’s most precious items!

Even the most inferior Five-Coloured Profound Stones were valued at over one thousand Peak Grade Spirit Seeds.

That was one hundred thousand drops of Spirit Liquid!

Therefore, the appearance of every Five-Coloured Profound Stone, even within Saints Heavenly City, would cause an uproar.

However, within this Ancient Jade Pavilion, the last time a Five-Coloured Profound Stone was obtained was over a decade ago.

That no Five-Coloured Profound Stones had been obtained for over a decade did not mean no one purchased Shooting Star Spirit Crystals within Ancient Jade Pavilion. Rather, it demonstrated from another perspective the rarity of Five-Coloured Profound Stones.

Many Sacred Lands could only exchange for a scrap of Five-Coloured Profound Stone by exhausting their full resources and depleting their foundations, refining Saint Grade Weapons to benefit future generations.

Possessing a Saint Grade Weapon constituted status assurance for every Sacred Land!

Opening Five-Coloured Profound Stones.

Qin Yichen naturally also wished to open one.

However, his current self completely lacked the qualifications to even try it.

Primarily, he lacked sufficient Spirit Liquid to purchase the Shooting Star Spirit Crystals that might potentially contain those Five-Coloured Profound Stones.

Ancient Jade Pavilion’s managers were not fools.

Shooting Star Spirit Crystals capable of containing Five-Coloured Profound Stones all displayed extraordinary phenomena, some even radiating ten thousand metres of brilliant light.

Within Ancient Jade Pavilion existed a treasured crystal piece. Upon its surface actually grew an Immortal Tree that flowered for a hundred years and bore fruit for another hundred years. Each fruit was equivalent to one Peak Grade Spirit Seed!

Within such a crystal piece, who dared claim no Five-Coloured Profound Stone existed?

However, its price made people halt in their tracks.

Because its selling price was not Spirit Liquid, but rather… one hundred Heaven Earth Spirit Pearls!

Spirit Veins were not rare. One could say every Sacred Land was established relying upon Spirit Veins. However, amongst those Spirit Veins, few could manifest Heaven Earth Spirit Pearls.

Moreover, manifesting Heaven Earth Spirit Pearls required time measured in units of hundreds of thousands of years.

Therefore, even when Heaven Earth Spirit Pearls manifested, who would willingly offer them for sale? These items increase a Sacred Land foundation. For certain Sacred Lands, the significance of Heaven Earth Spirit Pearls was no less than Saint Grade Weapons!
