Alchemy Master

Chapter 446, Tremendous Opportunity

Translator: Silavin

After taking just half a step forward, Qin Yichen’s body was immediately crushed down, even though his Spiritual Energy had nearly solidified. This demonstrated just how terrifying this pressure truly was!

Sweat continuously trickled down Qin Yichen’s cheeks. He licked his dry lips, then gritted his teeth as he endured that dreadful Spiritual Energy pressure, slowly rising to his feet and taking another step forward.

*Bang!* As he took this step, his body trembled uncontrollably, his knees slightly bent, clearly showing he was trying his utmost not to fall to his knees!

The Spiritual Energy seemed to sense Qin Yichen’s tenacity, and the pressure intensified once more.

*Crack crack!* Qin Yichen could clearly hear the crisp sounds coming from his bone joints.

“I haven’t fallen yet…”

*Bang!*

He took another step forward, his knees bending again, but he quickly stood straight, his eyes filled with undisguised frenzied determination.

The Lu Ban Sect’s Gongshu Clan was his greatest leverage against the Ouyang family and the Feng family.

Now, with only one step remaining to solidify his Spiritual Energy, he had no reason whatsoever to give up.

Qin Yichen concentrated his Spiritual Energy to the extreme, resisting the enormous pressure brought by the green light at the core of the Spirit Sea.

“Break through for me!” With the green light at the core right before him, Qin Yichen roared, concentrating to his absolute limit, fiercely taking the final step. There, his body directly entered the green light within the Spirit Sea.

*Hum!* A special wave spread outward.

At this moment, in front of the Clan Hall of the Gongshu Clan, the Array in front of the model Master Craftsman’s Hammer suddenly began to violently shake, like curtains gently rolling up. A green light soon illuminated the entire Clan Hall.

An immense pressure suddenly descended.

“This aura…”

“Could he have disturbed Ancestor Gumin?”

In front of the Array, everyone from the Gongshu Clan could not help but gasp, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Gongshu Gumin, a great Crafting Master who had condensed a Spirit Sea with his own hands, was rumoured to have left a wisp of his Remnant Soul in the trial.

The Remnant Soul maintained the operation of the entire trial, serving as the core. If the Remnant Soul were disturbed, this whole trial, that had been passed down for thousands of years, would likely be destroyed.

The green light now permeating the Clan Hall was merely the prelude!

“Brother Yichen!” Gongshu Zhiyi widened her beautiful eyes, which sparkled with unusual brilliance.

Within the Spirit Sea, she had witnessed Qin Yichen’s talent and knew well that the pressure of the Spirit Sea was not something even those with talent could easily withstand.

However, she had not expected that he would approach the central position of the Spirit Sea.

…

[I’m in! Is this the location of the core of the Spirit Sea?]

All the pressure in the Spirit Sea suddenly dissipated, and this sudden sense of ease made Qin Yichen slightly uncomfortable.

At the same time, this strong contrast caused his Spiritual Energy to experience turmoil, and it had actually become even more solid. Now, it was only half a step away from condensing into physical form.

“He who breaks through this point while wielding the Master Craftsman’s Hammer shall inherit the mantle of I, Gongshu Gumin, and ensure the longevity of our Clan!”

A vast and ancient aura suddenly resounded within this space.

Before Qin Yichen could locate the source of the voice, an extremely dazzling green light pillar suddenly enveloped him, and an immense Spiritual Energy pressure abruptly descended upon him.

*Ziiiii!* Qin Yichen could not move. As he carefully sensed what was happening, his mind was violently shaken.

This green light pillar was actually cleansing his Spiritual Energy.

In this moment, he had an urge to ‘ascend’, knowing this was an illusion produced when Spiritual Energy condenses to its absolute limit.

*Ding!* A crisp sound suddenly rang out, and Qin Yichen was overjoyed. His Spiritual Energy had finally solidified.

For him, whether for Alchemy in the future, or exercising Spiritual Energy Techniques, or even for Crafting from the Lu Ban Sect, everything would now experience a qualitative improvement.

At the same time, a vast flood of information poured madly into his mind.

Images of the hand that crafted the divine, carving decaying wood, moulding clay into people, and turning vegetation into weapons. It was as if the creator himself had descended upon this world.

[Enlightenment? I never expected such a powerful consciousness to exist within this Spirit Sea. Fortunately, my Spiritual Energy has solidified. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to withstand it at all.]

Qin Yichen’s expression remained calm as a still pond, but internally, his emotions surged like tidal waves.

First came the inheritance of the Master Craftsman’s Hammer from the Great Master Lu Ban, and now the fusion with a powerful consciousness from the Gongshu Clan—everything was perfectly falling into place.

*Hum… Hum…*

After the green light pillar condensed from Spiritual Energy disappeared, the Spirit Sea suddenly began to violently fluctuate. Qin Yichen, who had regained his senses at its deepest centre, immediately rose into the air.

*Crack!*

Lightning was generated within the Spirit Sea, though this was clearly caused by the turbulent Spiritual Energy.

“The Array is about to explode! Everyone be careful!”

Gongshu Cangyou at the front of the Array warned in a deep voice, spreading his hands to protect the Gongshu Clan members behind him, his highly concentrated Spiritual Energy shot out.

“Great Grandfather, Brother Yichen hasn’t come out yet…” Gongshu Zhiyi anxiously said.

Gongshu Yushan held her hand, his face solemn, as he said, “Even practitioners at the Spiritual Rupture Realm cannot withstand Ancestor Gumin’s consciousness…”

“Could it be that the Master Craftsman’s Hammer is destined to completely disappear in our generation?” Gongshu Cangyou suddenly seemed to have aged decades.

“It’s Brother Yichen!” Gongshu Zhiyi’s beautiful eyes lit up.

Gongshu Cangyou immediately seemed to be injected with adrenaline, sharply looking toward the violently shaking cracks in the Array. Suddenly, a green light flashed brilliantly, and a figure shot out directly from the cracks in the Array.

Gongshu Cangyou and Gongshu Yushan immediately moved to catch him.

However, before the two could get close, a powerful burst of Spiritual Energy struck them, sending them flying backward with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

“Such… such powerful Spiritual Energy!”

Gongshu Cangyou’s deeply wrinkled face was now filled with shock and disbelief.

He was recognised as the strongest expert of the current Hidden Gongshu Clan, with his Spiritual Energy already solidified.

However, his solidified Spiritual Energy could not withstand even Qin Yichen’s unconscious wave of Spiritual Energy.

This was simply astonishing!

If Gongshu Cangyou was in such a state, what of the other Gongshu Clan members who witnessed the two being sent flying? They were dumbfounded…

However, before they could react.

The violently shaking Array, with the trial having lost its core, the Remnant Spirit, finally reached the brink of collapse and suddenly blew up.

*Rustle rustle rustle!*

The equivalent of more than ten Spiritual Rupture Realm experts’ Spiritual Energy all transformed into silver starry light points, filling the Clan Hall.

“Though the trial is now destroyed, their Spiritual Energy still has not dissipated!”

Gongshu Cangyou, who had regained his senses, excitedly exclaimed.

At this moment, all Gongshu Clan members within the Clan Hall, who had these silver starry light points integrated into their bodies, experienced a complete transformation in their Spiritual Energy.

Even the aged Gongshu Cangyou seemed to have become younger.

“I’m finally out!”

Qin Yichen, who had been thrown out, surveyed his surroundings and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

He never expected that this journey into the Spirit Sea would bring him such a tremendous opportunity.

If before he was just an novice Craftsman who could not even carve a basic wooden bird, then after receiving Gongshu Gumin’s inheritance from the Spirit Sea, he could now effortlessly forge puppets comparable to Mid Stage Martial Kings.

In fact, with the Master Craftsman’s Hammer, the puppets he forged would be even more powerful.

Of course, provided he had sufficient materials.
