Originally, Qin Yichen had not said anything, just casually jokes, but it made Shu Ruyan’s smile become somewhat unnatural. She even dared not look him in the eye.
Two faint blushes appeared on her pretty face. Along with that evasive gaze, it made her look extremely adorable.
“Big Sister said she’s not going to the Medicine Shop today.” Before she could answer, Shu Xin was already yelling from the side, then tilted her head with a mischievous look, “Um, can I go with you?”
“No way!” Qin Yichen irritably tapped her on the head.
“If it’s not allowed, just say so, why hit my head? Don’t you know that can make people stupid?!” Shu Xin waved her fist at him fiercely.
Now, in the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce, probably only she dared to joke around with Qin Yichen like this.
With their banter, Shu Ruyan composed herself, but a barely noticeable trace of disappointment flashed across her pretty face.
Men loving beauties was natural. Women loving heroes was also natural.
“It’s almost time, I’m leaving first!” Qin Yichen dodged a low kick from Shu Xin, walked towards the door, and waved at Shu Ruyan.
After going out, he let out a light sigh.
Lu Linghan’s matter had not been resolved yet, and at this time, he did not want to incur more romantic debts.
After going out, Qin Yichen in his ordinary Alchemy Master robe did not attract much attention. After all, today on the streets, First Grade Alchemy Masters were everywhere, and there were even quite a few Second Grade Alchemy Masters. Naturally, no one paid attention to such a small figure.
Qin Yichen was also happy to be relaxed, pursing his lips with a faint smile, relying on memory to walk towards the Royal City Alchemy Guild.
Along the way, his gaze occasionally swept over the Alchemy Masters passing by, and he was secretly surprised.
Because the robes they wore did not bear the icons of the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty. Obviously, they were not Alchemy Masters belonging to the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.
“Looks like this Alchemy Competition will be interesting…” The curve of Qin Yichen’s lips deepened.
Alchemy Masters from other dynasties had come here. It was obvious they were not here to play.
Every country holds an Alchemy Competition once a year, and the champion of each competition has a chance to participate in the Alchemy Tower test in the Central Province. If qualified, they might even enter the Alchemy Tower!
Alchemy Tower!
Although the Central Province was not a country, it was superior to countries. The surrounding countries all have to pay tribute to the Eight Millennial Families dominating the Central Province.
Of course, without the backing of the Millennial Families, it would be impossible to establish a country.
It could be said that small countries were merely pawns of the Eight Millennial Families!
In the Central Province, there were naturally also Alchemy Guilds, and the Alchemy Tower was an existence above all Alchemy Guilds!
On this continent, each region only had one Alchemy Tower. This shows the status of the Alchemy Tower.
If one could enter the Alchemy Tower, even the Eight Millennial Families would look at the person differently. Therefore, entering the Alchemy Tower became the lifelong pursuit of all Alchemy Masters!
It was not surprising that Alchemy Masters from other dynasties came to compete for this spot.
However, if the spot was taken, then the people of the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty would not be able to hold their heads high in front of other dynasties.
Of course, it was not easy to enter the Alchemy Tower. For example, Gu Ye with his monstrous talent back then, and now Zhou Tianwei, were still in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty. This proves they were not chosen by the Alchemy Tower.
This shows how strict the Alchemy Tower’s selection was!
In his previous life, Qin Yichen could not count the number of hardships he went through until he was in his fifties before entering the Alchemy Tower. That was even after consuming Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk!
Even so, it took him several decades of effort. For others, without near-monstrous talent, it was basically impossible to enter the Alchemy Tower.
Just as he was thinking, the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty’s Royal City Alchemy Guild appeared in Qin Yichen’s sight.
Upon entering and seeing the almost blocked entrance of the guild, he could not help but sigh, then flashed into the crowd. His body was moving like a fish, weirdly traversing through the crowded people.
This was naturally the benefit of cultivating the ‘Walk’ of the Four Techniques.
At this time, it saved Qin Yichen a lot of trouble.
Just as he entered the Royal City Alchemy Guild, a person wearing an Alchemist Assistant robe came over, looked him up and down carefully, then came forward to ask, “Excuse me, are you Master Qin, as in Qin Yichen? Senior Zhou instructed me to wait for you here.”
Under the guidance of this Alchemist Assistant, Qin Yichen smoothly entered the guild and met Zhou Tianwei, who had been waiting for him.
“I thought you wouldn’t make it.” Looking at the obviously somewhat dishevelled Qin Yichen, Zhou Tianwei felt a strange twisted joy in her heart, and even teased, “Tsk tsk, not a bad Movement Technique.”
“Ahem… no matter how many people, they can’t stop my heart from coming to see you.” Qin Yichen coughed dryly, saying with a serious face while straightening his wrinkled robe.
“You…!” Hearing his frivolous words, Zhou Tianwei’s pretty face immediately showed a faint blush, but thinking about it, she knew Qin Yichen was deliberately saying this.
Zhou Tianwei snorted and glared at him, “Come with me. The venue for this competition isn’t at the Royal City Alchemy Guild, but at Heavenly Unicorn Square.”
After going out through the side door, walking on the road, she also explained to Qin Yichen, “The number of Alchemy Masters participating in this competition is a bit unexpected. Those who registered and came to represent Brother Alchemy Guilds actually exceeded one hundred people!”
“Over a hundred people?” This number also made Qin Yichen inwardly click his tongue.
In his past life when he participated in the Alchemy Competition, there were only twenty-something people, and the most he had ever seen was only thirty-something.
It should be known that the conditions to become an Alchemy Master were extremely harsh. Each Alchemy Master could be said to be one in a thousand, or even one in ten thousand. Yet there were over a hundred people right now. Probably, this event had gathered most of the excellent Alchemy Masters in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.
“The competition is divided into several rounds of assessment, each round will filter out quite a few people, and the difficulty increases as it goes on…” Zhou Tianwei explained the process of the competition to him.
“Master said to let you be careful, there are many excellent Alchemy Masters from other dynasties who have registered for this competition…” Saying this, her expression became much more serious. There was even some worry in her eyes.
After all, although Qin Yichen’s attainment in Spiritual Energy had reached such a high realm, in terms of Spiritual Energy cultivation, he was still at the equivalence to the Martial Master Realm.
Among the Alchemy Masters from other dynasties this time, there were quite a few strong ones at what was the Martial Grandmaster of Spiritual Energy.
“Speaking of which, our Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty hasn’t had a spot for many years.” Zhou Tianwei’s gaze towards Qin Yichen had a hint of hope. If he won first place, would he be chosen by the Alchemy Tower!?
