“Something unexpected?”
Ning Li’s brow furrowed. At this moment, beside him, one of his Alchemist companions seemed to recall something. He slapped his palm and said, “Just now when we were refining, a Junior Brother I’d never seen before bumped into me. It nearly caused the refinement to fail, but fortunately Senior Brother Ning stabilised it in time…”
*Pfft…* Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Similarly, Dong Yu’s expression became somewhat awkward.
The Elder had asked about the subtle details during the Alchemy process. Why on earth would they bring up something like this?
What if this distinguished person concluded that the Southern Brilliant Hall was poorly managed, allowing such accidents even during the development of new Pills? As the Outer Sect Manager, he could hardly escape responsibility!
“Does this count as an accident?”
That Alchemist blinked and weakly asked.
Looking at Dong Yu’s rather unpleasant expression, then seeing this fellow’s bewildered appearance, many Alchemists couldn’t help but want to laugh aloud. However, with Dong Yu and the Elder present, they dare not make a sound. Each face turned red from forcibly suppressing their laughter.
“Bumped aside?” At this moment, the Elder’s brow furrowed as a possibility crossed his mind. However, he then shook his head.
This was indeed something unexpected, but such an accident seemed to have no relation to the successful refinement of the Pill!
“Dong Yu, collect all the details of their experiments over these past few days and bring them to me before sunset.”
Finally, the Elder shook his head and walked towards the entrance of the Southern Brilliant Hall. As he reached the doorway, his figure paused slightly as he said, “Also, bring me the information on that reckless youth who disturbed them.”
This matter was of grave importance!
Although that Pill still had many flaws and was even incomplete, it had genuinely fused different medicinal properties together.
If the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land could master this type of Pill, they would lead all Sacred Lands in the field of Alchemy.
“Yes!” Dong Yu quickly nodded in response. After the Elder’s figure disappeared, his expression immediately darkened.
“Who was it that bumped into you just now?” Dong Yu’s gaze turned to the Alchemist who had spoken earlier, his voice cold as he questioned him.
“It was that person, uh…” That Alchemist’s gaze swept around in a circle, but he couldn’t find the person who had bumped into him earlier. For a moment, the hand he had raised froze in mid-air.
“Erm… I just saw him go to accept tasks…” Under Dong Yu’s almost man-eating gaze, that Alchemist said timidly.
“Bai Ling, who came to you to accept tasks just now?”
Dong Yu’s brow furrowed as he questioned the young woman responsible for tasks.
“Oh, someone called Qin Yichen…” The young woman glanced briefly at the earlier task records before responding.
“Qin Yichen?” Dong Yu’s brow creased as he looked at the records above. He discovered that this person called Qin Yichen had accepted several tasks for refining Sixth Grade Pills.
Although those Pills were among the more basic of the Sixth Grade, this nevertheless indicated that this person called Qin Yichen should be a Sixth Grade Alchemist.
This puzzled Dong Yu.
As the Outer Sect Manager of the Southern Brilliant Hall, he was responsible for managing the Outer Alchemists.
He kept the name of every Sixth Grade Alchemist in his mind.
But Qin Yichen alone felt unfamiliar to him. He had never heard of him before.
“When he comes to submit his tasks, bring him to see me.” Dong Yu instructed the young woman named Bai Ling, then said to Ning Li and the others, “You all, come with me.”
Having said this, he departed with Ning Li and the others.
“So Ning Li just lucked into it again and happened to succeed…” Someone sighed, and that sense of shock diminished considerably as a result.
His words gained the agreement of many.
Some miracles simply cannot be replicated.
“But since it could form a Pill, doesn’t that mean that under certain circumstances, different properties can indeed fuse into one?”
At this moment, a weak voice emerged, plunging the group of Alchemists into silence.
Although miracles cannot be replicated, Ning Li’s Pill had genuinely shattered an existing iron rule.
…
At this time, Qin Yichen was completely unaware of what had occurred at the Southern Brilliant Hall. After accepting several Pill refinement tasks, he returned to the room he temporarily shared with Li Yuanba.
Subsequently, without even warming his hands, he hastily began refining.
Refining Sixth Grade Pills held no difficulty whatsoever for him. He handled it with complete ease.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a Pill emanating rich medicinal fragrance was successfully refined.
“This Divine Indestructible Soul Art is too amazing, isn’t it? It saved me at least half the time…”
After casually placing the Pill into a prepared jade bottle, Qin Yichen could not help but praise it.
Having cultivated the Divine Indestructible Soul Art for less than a month, his Spiritual Body had become several times more solid than before. Moreover, this had not affected his control at all. Rather, it had given him wings, allowing him even greater mastery during Alchemy!
Previously, he had always taken pride in his Spirit God Technique, but compared to this Divine Indestructible Soul Art, it fell several grades short.
In his previous life, he had never even heard of the Divine Indestructible Soul Art’s existence, nor had he imagined that the fragile Spiritual Body could actually be cultivated to have such formidable strength!
“Two hundred Contribution Points, acquired.” Casually tossing the jade bottle in his hand, the corner of Qin Yichen’s mouth curved into a smile.
In his view, accepting such Alchemy tasks was far easier than earning Contribution Points through fighting like Li Yuanba.
After all, they had only just entered the Sacred Land. There were plenty of people stronger than them. Only a thick-nerved guy like Li Yuanba would not care about trouble finding him.
“First earn some Contribution Points. At the very least, I should be able to comfortably move into the B Grade area.” Qin Yichen calculated silently. Although compared to other newcomers who had just arrived and could only afford to stay in the D Grade area, he was undoubtedly much better off, he nevertheless felt extremely unsatisfied with this.
The Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s Outer Sect’s residential area had a massive Array. Across the four areas of A, B, C, and D Grades, the density of World Energy grew exponentially. The closer one lived to the centre, the A Grade, the faster one’s cultivation speed.
At his current rate of acquiring Contribution Points, it wouldn’t take long to move into the B Grade area. More importantly, with Contribution Points, he could exchange them for better cultivation resources to enhance his own strength!
The reason Qin Yichen was so anxious to increase his strength was primarily that he wanted to return to the Imperial Dynasty.
He could not stop worrying about Feng Qianxue!
Because he also could not be certain whether that person in the shadows would strike at Feng Qianxue again.
