Compound Pill.
This new term appeared for the first time, and the door to a new era was thus opened.
Qin Yichen was well-prepared.
In the entire Thousand Mist Empire, the place with the most Withered Frost Grass was in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.
And now, the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty was undoubtedly fully under his control.
Of course, he had no intention of selling Withered Frost Grass. For him, refining it into Pills would undoubtedly earn more.
“Did you develop the Compound Pill?” Alchemy Peak Master Qu Huazheng suppressed the shock in his heart and could not help but ask.
“Well…” Qin Yichen found it difficult to answer. Because in later generations, the Compound Pill was not developed by just one person. Zhou Tianwei, Qin Yichen, and many other excellent Alchemy Masters had participated in its development. Though, the one who proposed the concept of the Compound Pill was Qin Yichen himself.
“I suppose so.” Qin Yichen rubbed his nose bridge.
“So young, yet able to develop such an extraordinary Pill…” Sharp intakes of breath could be heard from the crowd, and when pairs of eyes looked at Qin Yichen, they were filled with shock and disbelief.
A teenager of under twenty years old, not only exceeded others in mastery over Spiritual Energy, but in Alchemy and its development. In terms of Alchemy, he was unmatched in every aspect.
They could not think of any words to describe this youth anymore. This must be what a true prodigy must be like!?
“How can different medicinal effects be merged together?” The one asking was still Qu Huazheng. He was truly too curious.
Countless predecessors in the World of Alchemy had tried to merge different medicinal effects, but all ended in failure. Even those with exceptional talent who devoted their entire lives to this pursuit died without achieving anything.
The Northern Region was uniquely blessed, happening to have the special medicinal herb Withered Frost Grass. Otherwise, Qin Yichen and the others could not have developed the Compound Pill either.
“If I said it was by accident, would you believe me?” Qin Yichen smiled bitterly. It was not that he did not want to tell them, but if he revealed the Withered Frost Grass, with his current strength, he absolutely could not protect the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.
He did not want to create more trouble for himself at this time.
Qu Huazheng looked at him thoughtfully, understanding that Qin Yichen did not want to make public the secret of the Compound Pill.
This was also reasonable.
But unfortunately, his heart was terribly itching for the answer. It was like putting a pie in front of a beggar – how could the beggar resist not taking it?
However, Qu Huazheng still controlled himself and did not continue pressing for answers.
“Since there is the Spirit Healing… Clear Mind Pill, surely there are other Compound Pills?” The Central Region Alchemy Tower Master spoke up.
“Of course.” Qin Yichen finally revealed a smile, “Actually, in the Northern Region, several types of Compound Pills are already being sold, such as the Yuan Healing Pill that can both treat injuries and restore Yuan Energy, and many other types. If you’re interested, you can learn more at the Soaring Joy Chamber of Commerce in the Northern Region.”
“Damn him, actually advertising for his own business during the summit…” Hearing these words, Zhao Ritian’s mouth twitched violently.
Of course, this was based on Qin Yichen having something that absolutely attracted these people. If it were ordinary items, it would not have caught anyone’s attention.
“The Northern Region already has them for sale…” The crowd erupted again.
Some shrewd individuals had already left the crowd to report back, and numerous scouts had immediately set off to the Northern Region.
Everyone knew that after this summit, Compound Pills would absolutely become mainstream Pills. Whichever Business Alliance could control the source would control the whole empire’s economy.
“I never thought you had developed such great achievements…” Alchemy Peak Master Qu Huazheng sighed continuously.
However, what puzzled him was why, when the Northern Region had such achievements, Northern Region Alchemy Tower Master Zuo Xuezhen had not said a word?
Next, to prove the existence of Compound Pills, Qin Yichen publicly refined a Yuan Healing Pill and a Clear Mind Pill.
Undoubtedly, the third competition again became Qin Yichen’s personal show, to the extent that the later excellent Alchemy Masters, including Qiao Huang, were forgotten by the public. No one even knew or cared what they had demonstrated.
After all, there was someone who sat at first place in all three individual segments!
Qin Yichen undoubtedly became the most dazzling presence at this summit.
Earlier, Qiao Huang might have been somewhat unconvinced, but after the third segment, he was thoroughly convinced.
Zhao Ritian was also sighing… cursing his luck for being born in the same era as this monstrosity. He knew that his position as the ‘Northern Region’s number one’ would probably be impossible to maintain now.
(Silavin: He never actually had that position but he had it in his heart lol.)
“Quiet!” As the third segment ended, Qu Huazheng raised both hands, making the scene quiet again. “Now I announce the champion of this summit… the Northern Region!”
“Champion of the first segment… Qin Yichen!”
“Champion of the second segment… Qin Yichen!”
“Champion of the third segment… Qin Yichen!”
The waves of applause rose and fell, the entire venue echoing with a single name.
After the Alchemy World Summit, Zuo Xuezhen looked for Qin Yichen.
Looking at Qin Yichen again, Zuo Xuezhen had many feelings.
Previously, he had only treated Qin Yichen as a Junior with excellent talent, but now he discovered that, except for cultivation realm, there seemed to be nothing about the youth before him that was inferior to himself.
“The Peak Master wants to see you, come with me.” Although Zuo Xuezhen had many things he wanted to ask, remembering Qu Huazheng’s instructions, he led Qin Yichen toward the Alchemy Peak.
Clouds and mist drifted above the Alchemy Peak.
Still the same pavilion, still the same people, but now there was an additional youth.
Those who could stand here were all pillars of the World of Alchemy in the Thousand Mist Empire.
But standing before them, Qin Yichen was not nervous at all, as if he had long expected Qu Huazheng would summon him.
“Sit.” Qu Huazheng pointed to a position beside himself.
Qin Yichen did not stand on ceremony, walked over, and sat beside him.
This treatment startled all the Tower Masters, but they had shamelessly stayed here because of Qin Yichen.
However, since Qu Huazheng had not spoken, although they were anxious, they would not overstep propriety and speak first. Although they were Tower Masters of various regions, the Alchemy Peak Master, Qu Huazheng, was still someone who stood above them.
“You’ve certainly given us old fellows a good lesson today.” Qu Huazheng’s first words drew the agreement from several Tower Masters.
“This Junior wouldn’t dare.” Qin Yichen modestly said. He had relied on memories spanning ten thousand years, the essence of countless generations. How could he alone claim credit for this achievement?
Those present could all be called his Seniors, having influenced him to varying degrees.
“No need for modesty. Come, tell us, to what stage have you developed your Compound Pills?” With Qu Huazheng’s question, everyone’s attention focused on Qin Yichen.
