“This Meridians Cleansing Pill Formula can’t be revealed now, otherwise, my Ye Family will surely suffer a devastating disaster!”
Ye Liangchen took a deep breath, carefully putting away this formula.
He knew what it meant to invite calamity by possessing precious treasure. With their Ye Family’s current strength, if people found out, their Ye Family would likely be erased from Spreading Cloud City overnight.
“Next is the Spirit Recovery Pill, required materials… Spirit Restoring Root, Purple Heart Vine, Ten-Year Lingzhi…”
“Effect… allows Alchemy Masters to quickly recover their Spiritual Energy!”
After Ye Liangchen said this, he had to suppress the shock in his heart. He had to read through the second formula again, and he still could not help but draw in a sharp breath.
There were materials that could recover Spiritual Energy. However, Pills that could recover Spiritual Energy had not appeared yet.
This Spirit Recovery Pill Formula was only developed over a thousand years later. Thus, this formula was absolutely revolutionary for the present time.
“Although this formula is also precious, compared to the Meridians Cleansing Pill, it’s somewhat less valuable.” Ye Liangchen shook his head with a bitter smile, actually feeling relieved that this formula was not as precious.
This was not to say the Spirit Recovery Pill was worse than the Meridians Cleansing Pill. On the contrary, in terms of Grade, the Spirit Recovery Pill was definitely above the Meridians Cleansing Pill.
It was just that the Meridians Cleansing Pill was for almost everyone. Even those with decent talent could take the Meridians Cleansing Pill to gain more benefits. Meanwhile, the Spirit Recovery Pill could only be used by Alchemy Masters.
Moreover, due to the expensive materials, ordinary Alchemy Masters probably could not afford it.
Still, this formula would definitely be sought after in larger and more prosperous cities.
“Such a precious formula, yet he tossed it to me like garbage, he really is…” Ye Liangchen did not know how to describe his feelings anymore. [But, this does represent Qin Yichen’s trust in me.]
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, his fat body trembled slightly, and a grateful look appeared in his eyes. Perhaps this Meridians Cleansing Pill was given to him because Qin Yichen saw how talented he was.
…
Spreading Cloud City, Alchemy Guild, top floor. A young man wearing luxurious robes stood with his hands behind his back by the window. His gaze passed very calmly through the window, looking at the bustling street.
*Creak.* As the wooden door was pushed open, Liu Wen’s figure hurriedly walked in from the doorway.
“I didn’t know the Special Envoy had arrived, my apologies for not welcoming you earlier. Please forgive me.” Liu Wen cupped his hands towards the young man in luxurious robes while speaking respectfully.
Hearing his voice, the young man slowly turned around.
When Liu Wen saw his young face and the Pill Furnace emblem with three patterns on his robe, he could not help but slightly contract his pupils.
Such a young Third Grade Alchemy Master!
Moreover, this young man was not unfamiliar to Liu Wen. He was famous even in the Royal City, a top young talent in the Alchemy world of the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty… Zhou Tianwei.
Zhou Tianwei was not just terrifyingly talented, his birth and status were equally extraordinary.
He was the Second Son of the Zhou Family, one of the four Major Families in the Royal City of the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.
Moreover, he had another identity no less impressive than his Family background. He was the personal disciple of Gu Ye, the Guildmaster of the Royal City Alchemy Guild!
Not yet thirty years old, he had become a Third Grade Alchemy Master. Many found this hard to believe. Even Grandmaster Gu Ye had praised his talent to not be inferior to his own.
When all these accolades gathered on one person, that person was undoubtedly a blessed Son of Heaven!
“Liu Wen, do you know what crime you have committed?” Zhou Tianwei’s gaze swept over Liu Wen, his voice carrying an unquestionable authority.
“Crime?” Liu Wen was stunned, then quickly apologised, “Liu Wen knows his crime, I failed to welcome you earlier.”
If it was anyone else, Liu Wen, as the Guildmaster of a branch of the Alchemy Guild, would not need to be so humble, but Zhou Tianwei was different.
*Hmph!* Hearing this, Zhou Tianwei’s slightly furrowed brows not only did not relax, but his gaze became even colder.
“Liu Wen, are you playing dumb with me?” His tone contained more anger in it.
“Playing dumb?” Liu Wen heard the dissatisfaction in his words, and could not help but break out in a cold sweat, “Special Envoy, I really don’t know. Please enlighten me.”
This questioning tone made Liu Wen hard to fathom what exactly he did wrong.
“I heard that in your Spreading Cloud City, there’s an Alchemy Prodigy who got perfect scores in all three stages of the Alchemy Master qualification test? And that prodigy is only sixteen years old!”
Zhou Tianwei snorted coldly, then narrowed his eyes. [Sixteen years old and perfect scores in all three! How could there be someone whose talent is above my own?]
“That did happen.” Liu Wen roughly understood what this was about, then added, “I was also preparing to go to the Royal City to report this to Grandmaster Gu Ye, but I’ve been tied up with some affairs these days. Please forgive me.”
In his jurisdiction, such a genius appearing would definitely count towards his achievements. He might even be transferred from this small Spreading Cloud City to work in the Royal City Alchemy Guild.
The resources in the Royal City were incomparable to those in Spreading Cloud City.
“Lies!” As soon as Zhou Tianwei heard this, he coldly snorted, “Liu Wen, are you saying that your Spreading Cloud City has produced an Alchemy Prodigy even more impressive than my Master?”
Although Gu Ye had set the record of becoming an Alchemy Master without condensing his Divine Soul Bead, he had barely passed the third test.
Zhou Tianwei’s gaze swept over Liu Wen like a cold sword, “Although in cities outside the Royal City, there are some fame-seeking villains colluding with local forces to cheat, no one has ever dared to be as outrageously high-profile as you. A mere boy who has yet to even condensed his Divine Soul Bead. You dare to give him perfect scores in all three tests? Do you really think you hold all authority in the Alchemy Guild to blatantly cheat like this!?”
His last sentence, containing a roar infused with the Spiritual Energy. It had the power of a Third Grade Alchemy Master, and it exploded like thunder next to Liu Wen’s ear.
“Well…” Under his pressure, Liu Wen was drenched in cold sweat.
At this moment, he also understood Zhou Tianwei’s purpose for coming to Spreading Cloud City.
Probably someone had reported the news about Qin Yichen first, which led to the Royal City Guild being suspicious of him.
Indeed, if he had not personally been at the venue, and gotten testaments from those he trusted, he absolutely would not have believed it either.
Qin Yichen’s case was too shocking.
“Special Envoy, I, Liu Wen, have worked diligently in Spreading Cloud City for decades. I have never involved myself in the power struggles of the city, and have never participated in any fraudulent activities. If you don’t believe me, you can verify it in person!”
Liu Wen straightened his back, full of pride.
