Alchemy Master

Chapter 380, Breaking Through to the Spiritual Flow Realm

Translator: Silavin

In terms of refining medicinal materials to extract their essence, the refinement of this Green Jade Spirit Branch was particularly delicate. Even Qin Yichen did not dare to be the least bit careless.

Under his full control, after an hour of refinement, the Green Jade Spirit Branch finally slowly dissolved, and threads of jade-green liquid slowly flowed out from within.

Looking at that pool of jade-green liquid, Qin Yichen also let out a sigh of relief in his heart. As the fire temperature baked it, that Green Jade Spirit Branch finally turned into a pile of ashes that fell to the bottom of the Pill Furnace. The pile of jade-green liquid left behind also shrank at a visible speed, while its colour became increasingly deeper. By the end, this pool of liquid was almost like a deep green bean.

Seeing that the most difficult medicinal material to refine had been processed, Qin Yichen did not hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, one medicinal material after another flew over and was thrown into the Pill Furnace, after which they were refined separately.

As time passed, more and more medicinal materials were continuously thrown into the Pill Furnace by Qin Yichen, and there was also more and more pure medicinal power appearing inside the Pill Furnace.

As time went by, Qin Yichen’s expression also became increasingly solemn. His Spiritual Energy had now completely swept out, firmly wrapping around every strand of medicinal essence within the Pill Furnace.

[Next comes the fusion.] Qin Yichen muttered in his heart, closing his eyes briefly. When he opened them again, a flash of bright light passed through.

As his eyes suddenly opened, his hands became afterimages, falling onto the Pill Furnace.

*Pat! Pat!…* As Qin Yichen’s palms fell, the medicinal liquid in the Pill Furnace immediately began to boil, and then, wrapped in strands of Spiritual Energy, began to intersect with each other.

However, this mutual fusion was extremely slow, and there were even several places where the medicinal liquids were repelling each other.

But regarding all this, Qin Yichen knew it would be like this beforehand.

There was not the slightest change in his expression, and his hands continued to dance without stopping.

In his Knowledge Sea, his Spiritual Body was now emitting a dazzling light, clearly having pushed his Spiritual Body to its limits.

However, under Qin Yichen’s full control, the medicinal liquid in the Pill Furnace still maintained this state, slowly fusing, with some mutually repelling areas still remaining the same.

“Not enough… there are too many conflicting medicinal liquids in the Spiritual Transformation Pill’s fusion, this amount of Spiritual Energy is still not enough!” Qin Yichen’s expression was solemn. He knew this was not because his control over Spiritual Energy was not enough. Rather, because his Spiritual Energy was not powerful enough! Regarding control over the medicinal liquid, even though he had the ability surpassing Alchemy Masters of the same level, he still could not achieve perfection.

This shortcoming finally manifested when refining this pill.

[Must advance further to successfully refine it…] Qin Yichen was very clear in his heart, this was also one of the reasons why he was refining this Pill.

He calmed his heart. He knew that in this period of nourishment, his Spiritual Body had already reached the limit, and was only one step away from the Spiritual Flow Realm.

If he were to use Pills to break through again, there might be some negative effects, so Qin Yichen chose the most stable method – nourishment! Letting things progress naturally!

*Hum…* At this moment, while Qin Yichen’s Spiritual Energy controlled the medicinal liquid in the Pill Furnace, additionally, the Spirit God Technique began frantically operating. His body seemed to form a devouring centre, and in this space, strands of peculiar energy subtly surged towards him.

The devouring seemed endless.

At this time, Qin Yichen did not know that outside the cultivation room, above Twilight City, the wind was rising and clouds were gathering, the colours of Heaven and Earth were changing.

Fierce gales arose from level ground. Noticing these Heavenly phenomena, countless powerful individuals’ expressions all changed.

Who exactly was causing such phenomena?

Soon, some individuals with keen Spiritual Energy discovered that these Heavenly phenomena seemed to be sweeping out from the centre of the massive Alchemy Central building in Twilight City!

“Is Chairman Hai or Chairman Lin breaking through?”

“Perhaps, it’s Qin Yichen…?”

These thoughts arose from people’s hearts one after another, and countless Alchemy Masters and powerful individuals all unanimously cast their gazes toward Alchemy Central.

Within Alchemy Central, Chairman Hai, who had originally been refining medicine, seemed to also notice this disturbance and was somewhat dazed.

*Boom!* Following his mistake, the Pill Furnace in front of him emitted a muffled sound, and a burnt smell spread out from within.

But regarding these things, Chairman Hai did not pay any attention at all, instead directly rushing out the door and charging to the front of a nearby cultivation room, clearly taking up a position to protect the breakthrough.

This devouring continued for a very long time, from sunset to sunrise.

Finally, at a certain moment, the Spiritual Body in Qin Yichen’s Knowledge Sea suddenly trembled. A feeling of complete comfort, like enlightenment, spread from top to bottom. At this moment, Qin Yichen almost could not hold back from moaning out loud.

“AHHH!”

As Qin Yichen’s hands danced, his Spirit Body in his Divine Soul Bead seemed to follow Qin Yichen’s movements, waving its arms in imitation.

At this time, strands of Spiritual Energy several times stronger than before swept out like ocean waves.

In the Pill Furnace, the medicinal liquid that had been interweaving was at this moment kneaded together like by an invisible hand, roughly yet delicately.

Half an hour later, following Qin Yichen’s final palm strike on the Pill Furnace, a jade-green pill burst out from within.

Thick medicinal fragrance spread out from within. Qin Yichen took a light breath, and the fatigue between his brows gradually faded.

“Spiritual Flow Realm!”

After putting the Pill into a jade box, a faint smile also curved the corners of Qin Yichen’s lips.

After pushing open the door, Qin Yichen was shocked to discover that at this time there was actually a large crowd of people gathered outside the door.

Chairman Hai, Ye Liangchen, Zhao Ritian, Xia Zilin…

This group of people who were usually so busy one could not see their shadow. Yet, they had all gathered outside his door at this time. And through the gaps between them, Qin Yichen’s scalp tingle as he discovered dense crowds of Human figures.

[Did my breakthrough cause a disturbance?] Qin Yichen wondered, unable to help slapping his forehead. [Damn it. I had forgotten about this…]

When he broke through to become a Human Grade Alchemy Master, it was in Twilight Tower, so the Heavenly phenomena had not drawn others’ attention. But this was Twilight City, a major city with a population of several million…

“You’ve come out?” As if hearing the sound of the door opening, Chairman Hai and the others also turned around. The gazes they cast toward Qin Yichen were all filled with concern.

Who did not know that every breakthrough of an Alchemy Master carried extreme danger? This was also why Chairman Hai had remained at the Early Stage Human Grade Alchemy Master for so long.

It was not that he did not want to break through to the Spiritual Flow Realm. Rather, it was because he always felt his Spiritual Body had not been nourished enough. After all, not everyone possessed Qin Yichen’s level of control, or had an extraordinary cultivation method like the Spirit God Technique.

Silavin: Holy cow. So, the Spiritual Flow Realm is just a Minor Realm!? Why give it another name!? =.=! I was so confused since it was not listed down on the chinese ‘wiki’! But, I guess it is easy to remember.
