“Young Master Songqing, let’s go. Elder Chixing is waiting for you.” The young man beside Huyuan Songqing looked at Qin Yichen with surprise, then turned back to Huyuan Songqing and said.
“Go? Go where? Go and cripple him for me!” Huyuan Songqing snorted coldly and said in a low voice, “Just go and do it. I’ll take responsibility for whatever happens!”
“Young Master Songqing, there are Instructors watching. I can’t lay a hand on him.” Hearing this, the Two Stars Apprentice shook his head. Seeing Huyuan Songqing’s face darken again, he quickly continued, “But don’t worry, Young Master. As long as he’s still in the Alchemy Tower, we have plenty of ways to deal with him.”
“What ways?” Huyuan Songqing frowned and asked.
“Three days after New Apprentices enter the Alchemy Tower, there will be a challenge in the Spiritual Refinement Array. Whatever happens in there, even the Instructors would not be able to know nor prevent. At that time, I will accompany you inside and help you take care of him.”
The Two Stars Apprentice respectfully said to Huyuan Songqing.
In the Alchemy Tower, the most important thing was Contribution Points. To access ancient records required Contribution Points. To get Alchemy materials also required Contribution Points.
It was because of this cycle that the Alchemy Tower had always remained prosperous.
Just upon entering, Qin Yichen had already obtained dozens of Contribution Points, which was a huge boon for him.
With less than one hundred Contribution Points, one was a One Star Apprentice. To become a Two Stars Apprentice, one needed over one hundred Contribution Points in their Alchemy Card, while a Three Stars Apprentice needed one thousand Contribution Points.
One Star Apprentices had the lowest status in the Alchemy Tower. They were not qualified to go to many places and could not obtain many materials.
Normally, for a One Star Apprentice to gain Contribution Points, they could only cultivate medicinal herbs in the Alchemy Tower, do odd jobs and such, to slowly accumulate Contribution Points.
In his previous life, Qin Yichen had struggled through this way. But now, he had many ways to gain Contribution Points, such as challenging the Spiritual Refinement Array and the Alchemy Array.
Both the Spiritual Refinement Array and the Alchemy Array had nine levels, and passing each level would earn him the corresponding rewards.
The Spiritual Refinement Array mainly tested one’s Spiritual Energy cultivation and attainments.
The Alchemy Array tested one’s ability to identify herbs, combine medicines, and refine Pills.
With Qin Yichen’s current strength, he could naturally challenge these.
Moreover, he could also get on the Alchemy Ranking!
From 1 to 100, each ranking had the corresponding rewards. And the ranking was directly linked to the number of levels passed in the two great Arrays.
…
Because Qin Yichen was only a One Star Apprentice right now, he could only live in the Dormitory.
In the Alchemy Tower, only Apprentices who became Three Stars or above could have their own independent residence.
This also meant that one had to reach at least Three Stars to be taken seriously by the Alchemy Tower.
After the commotion, Qin Yichen undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. When the other Senior Apprentices learned from the New Apprentices that he had defeated Huyuan Songqing, they were even more regretful.
After all, only those Three Star Apprentices and above had Peak Stage Entry Realm mastery in Spiritual Energy and Spirit Realm Spiritual Energy.
Those One and Two Stars Apprentices living in the Dormitory did not dare to provoke him anymore.
This also made things much quieter for Qin Yichen.
Entering the Alchemy Tower did not make Qin Yichen relax; instead, he became more vigilant.
Having stayed in the Alchemy Tower before, he naturally knew how deep the undercurrents were.
Now that he had offended the An Family, those of the An Family would certainly want to eliminate him as soon as possible.
Now, it seemed another family, the Huyuan Family, would be added to the list.
This was what gave Qin Yichen a headache. [Women sure are trouble, that ancient saying is just too accurate…].
“Qin Yichen.” Just as he was thinking, a voice with a hint of charm entered his ears. Through the window, Qin Yichen saw Bian Lingzhu standing outside the Dormitory.
Bian Lingzhu’s appearance undoubtedly excited the guys in the male Dormitory, causing them to howl like wolves.
This woman was not only beautiful, but also born with a nature that easily seduced others. Even unintentional, every move, every smile she made was naturally seductive. Except for her purity, she was no different from a succubus.
Qin Yichen rolled his eyes at her in annoyance. If it was not for her, would he have offended Huyuan Songqing!?
But now, he had many uses for her, or more accurately, for the Bian Family behind her.
Now that he had offended both the An Family and the Huyuan Family, he was in a difficult position and needed to find some allies.
So, Qin Yichen still walked out of the Dormitory.
“What is it? I’m very busy.” He yawned, seemingly completely ignoring her beauty.
“I wanted to ask, do you… still have what you gave me the last time?” His rudeness made Bian Lingzhu a bit angry, but remembering her purpose, she temporarily suppressed her anger.
She did not know what Qin Yichen had given her at that time, but something that could help her directly break through her last bottleneck of her Spiritual Energy cultivation to enter the Spirit Realm, and without any side effects, was certainly no ordinary thing!
“You think it’s cabbage? Having that little bit was already very good, and you want more?” Talking about this, Qin Yichen felt upset.
Losing a petal for no reason was something he could not buy back at any price. After all, there was only one in the entire Northern Region. He naturally did not want to waste a Buddha Lotus petal like this.
Bian Lingzhu frowned, but then thought it made sense. If there was a lot of it, Qin Yichen would certainly not keep it, but would have used it to improve his own strength long ago.
“I want to represent our Bian Family to invite you…”
“No, I’m not interested.”
Qin Yichen directly refused. Just as Bian Lingzhu looked disappointed, he added, “Although I’m not interested in joining your Bian Family, cooperation is possible.”
“Cooperation?” Bian Lingzhu looked at him, puzzled.
What the Bian Family valued was Qin Yichen’s talent, not his current personal abilities. After all, the Bian Family had many Alchemists with Spirit Realm Spiritual Energy cultivation. How could a mere Qin Yichen have the qualifications to talk about cooperation with a behemoth like the Bian Family!?
“Has Miss Bian heard of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce?”
Bian Lingzhu nodded. During this trip to the Northern Wilderness, she had heard some mercenaries mention Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce. She had also obtained several Pills from the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce.
However, because that was from the Lu Family’s territory, she did not get involved with them too much.
Those Pills, only after using them would one know how amazing they were.
Although they were all Low Grade Pills, their efficacy was incomparable to those Pills currently on the market.
One could imagine that once those Pills became widespread, the current Pills on the market would certainly be eliminated.
“Then you must also know that Pills like the Yuan Healing Pill can only be refined by me!”
Qin Yichen did not dare to reveal the matter of Compound Pills at this point in time. Once the value of the Withered Frost Grass was discovered, it would definitely become something that all major Forces would fight over.
What did he have now to defend Heavenly Unicorn!? Nothing.
