Alchemy Master

Chapter 1047, Heaven’s Compassionate Blessing

Translator: Silavin

The following day.

Qin Yichen arrived at the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s separate residence. The reunion of loved ones naturally brought immeasurable joy.

Ye Liangchen grabbed onto Qin Yichen and refused to let go, tears and snot flowing as he poured out his grievances about the hardships endured to expand the Soaring Joy Chamber of Commerce.

In the end, Shi Jingmu had to drag him away like a small chicken, otherwise he could have continued for another half day.

Regarding Ye Liangchen, Qin Yichen was thoroughly satisfied.

Initially, Ye Liangchen had agreed to join forces with Qin Yichen for his own ambitions. With the support of Qin Yichen’s Pill Formula and Ye Liangchen’s business acumen, the development of the Soaring Joy Chamber of Commerce had been truly spectacular. It was like the rising Sun at its zenith. In just a few short years, from a small kingdom, it had leapt to become a top-tier Force within multiple Imperial Dynasties.

Its terrifying influence meant that even within the Imperial Dynasties, no other Force could surpass it.

And now, following Qin Yichen’s entry into Saints Heavenly Manor, the Soaring Joy Chamber of Commerce has been brought into this region. During this time, Ye Liangchen and many of the chamber’s upper echelon had already begun preparing how to establish the Soaring Joy Chamber of Commerce within Saints Heavenly City!

Moreover, he intended to spread branch offices of the Soaring Joy Chamber of Commerce throughout every region of the Human Race!

Just thinking about such matters filled one with excitement, let alone the fact that they were now not far from achieving this goal.

Because even Sacred Martial City strongly supported the promotion of Compound Pills. After all, these were Pill Formulas capable of advancing the Human Race’s World of Alchemy!

Furthermore, behind the Compound Pills stood Qin Yichen, the prodigy recruited into Saints Heavenly Manor by the Human Race’s strongest!

Who would be tired of living enough to set their sights on the Soaring Joy Chamber of Commerce?

After remaining in Saints Heavenly City for over half a month, Qin Yichen finally departed with Little Ling’er.

Before leaving, regarding Little Ling’er’s situation, Qin Yichen never mentioned it to a third person again. Thus, Old Patriarch Qin and the others paid it no mind, simply treating it as the young man wanting to take their Little Ling’er for some training.

Among these people, the only one who knew the truth was Lu Linghan. She understood clearly where Qin Yichen was truly heading on this journey.

The Elf Race, that meant leaving the Human Race entirely!

Within this path, any single unforeseen change could mean the two people she cared about most might never return!

“You must come back…”

Watching the two depart with smiles on their faces, Lu Linghan felt as though her heart had been hollowed out. She murmured softly before walking back in a daze, afraid that others might notice her unusual state and think too much of it.

…

Qin Yichen brought Little Ling’er directly to Lunar Palace.

As soon as they entered Lunar Palace, Su Hua appeared to guide them.

Su Hua was utterly puzzled by the purpose of Qin Yichen and Little Ling’er’s return this time. She had no idea how the Old Ancestor knew these two would come back, and had even instructed her to escort them directly.

However, since it was the Old Ancestor’s instructions, even if puzzled, Su Hua would comply without asking further questions.

She knew Little Ling’er carried secrets, but if the Old Ancestor was unwilling to speak of them, her inquiries would be useless.

It was still that fragrant land of birdsong and flowers. Before the small pavilion sat an old woman and a cup of tea.

Everything seemed exactly as it had been when Qin Yichen departed previously, without any change. It even gave Qin Yichen a strange illusion, and he questioned if he had truly never left at all?

“You’ve returned.” Seeing Qin Yichen return with Little Ling’er, the old woman asked with a smile, as if she had anticipated it all along.

“This Junior still hopes Senior can lend us some assistance.” Qin Yichen cupped his fists toward the old woman, speaking sincerely.

“To reach the Elf Race from here requires crossing the territories of over a dozen Races. Though you are strong, safely traversing these territories would still be difficult. Naturally, I will escort you partway.”

The old woman stood up from her stone stool, her gaze carrying a loving quality as she looked at Little Ling’er.

She had lived for an unknown number of years. Ten thousand years? Or longer? So long that she could barely remember how long she had existed.

During this time, the passage of time had taken away all her relatives. This kind of loneliness was something ordinary people could not comprehend.

Yet Little Ling’er’s arrival had added some pleasure to her solitude.

In their time together, she had treated Little Ling’er as her own Descendant. She had even employed divine techniques to transform this place from a ten-thousand-year-old ice mountain into a blessed land of birdsong and flowers, just to make Little Ling’er more comfortable!

This demonstrated the extent of her affection for Little Ling’er. Otherwise, she would never have indulged Little Ling’er’s mischief, allowed her free entry and exit from Lunar Palace, or provided a Saint to act as a guard.

“On this journey to the Elf Race, you must prepare for the worst possible outcome.” After a long moment, the old woman finally withdrew her gaze from Little Ling’er. She sighed softly and spoke.

Hearing this, Qin Yichen’s brows furrowed. If Lunar Palace’s Old Ancestor would assist them, reaching the Elf Forest should not be too difficult, unless they were intercepted by other supreme experts. However, with the Lunar Palace Old Ancestor’s strength, if she deliberately concealed their presence and they avoided being ostentatious, surely no one would detect them.

Once they reached the Elf Forest, the greatest crisis of the journey would have passed. So, why then would she still say this?

“I hope my perception is mistaken.” The old woman murmured softly in a voice like sleep-talking.

Seeing that the old woman had not voiced his doubts, Qin Yichen’s brows furrowed slightly as his mind speculated about possible events.

Previously, when intimately entwined with Lu Linghan, that place had seemed to be an altar. Within the shrine stood a divine statue. Yet no matter how Qin Yichen tried to recall it, he could no longer remember its appearance.

However, Qin Yichen’s experience told him that the divine statue seemed to have no connection to the Elf Race as recorded in Human Race records.

Moreover, the Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk discovered in that cave proved the place had existed for at least several hundred thousand years!

Even the appearance of the Elf Race likely did not extend so far back, did it?

But if that place had no connection to the Elf Race, why did Little Ling’er possess such terrifying Power of Life within her body from birth?

“Are you prepared?” The old woman’s voice slowly transmitted, pulling Qin Yichen back from his contemplation.

“Yes.” Qin Yichen gripped Little Ling’er’s small hand tightly, embracing her as he nodded firmly.

The hidden danger within Little Ling’er’s body had to be completely resolved!

On this journey, regardless of how many unpredictable dangers awaited him, he was determined to proceed!

Seeing Qin Yichen’s expression, the old woman knew that further words would be useless. At this moment, she couldn’t help but doubt whether telling him about Little Ling’er’s situation was good or bad.

One possessed the Heavenly Spirit Divine Body, the other was the bearer of a True Dragon Martial Soul.

If anything unexpected happened to either of them, it would represent an immense loss to the Human Race!

“May Heaven show compassion to our Human Race!” The old woman raised her head toward the horizon. Subsequently, divine radiance began flickering within her eyes, a soul-captivating cold light transmitting from her pupils.

*Buzz…* Immediately, divine light flashed, enveloping the three figures. In the next instant, as space trembled, the divine radiance dissipated and the three figures vanished into thin air.
