Alchemy Master

Chapter 639, A Matter of Absolute Necessity

Translator: Silavin

The Fallen God Abyss. A cursed wasteland!

This region had long been regarded by countless people as a symbol of death. Throughout countless years, there had been no shortage of admirers who came to observe from afar, but aside from those who had lost their sanity, very few would actually enter this place. After all, not many people were so thoroughly weary of living.

*Step… step… step…*

Beneath the crescent Moon, heavy footsteps disturbed the tranquillity, echoing through the deathly silence of the night. A solitary figure moved with somewhat laboured steps, heading steadily towards the Fallen God Abyss where even moonlight dared not penetrate.

Qin Yichen had already moved the seventy to eighty kilometre deep into the Fallen God Abyss. Throughout this journey, the dust on the ground had gradually become scarcer.

This was because very few people could penetrate this far. After all, most lost their minds upon entering a thousand kilometres away from the Fallen God Abyss. Those who could go further could not persist for long.

As he continued forward, Qin Yichen clearly sensed that the resistance was becoming increasingly formidable. More critically, the curse here caused his entire body to feel cold with piercing pain, even with the protection of the small Pill Furnace.

Without the small Pill Furnace’s protection, Qin Yichen truly wondered whether he could endure even a quarter of an hour under such a terrifying curse.

One hundred kilometres…

One hundred and twenty kilometres…

When he reached approximately one hundred and fifty kilometres deep, a bone-chilling cold caused Qin Yichen’s footsteps to slow.

Such a short distance, and this was still the outermost perimeter!

Looking at the Pill Furnace, its radiance dimmed and worn from resisting the curse, Qin Yichen’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

A gust of cold wind swept over, causing the light barrier around his body to sway precariously, as if it might be torn apart at any moment.

Witnessing this scene, Qin Yichen took a deep breath and reluctantly retrieved a jade bottle from his ring. With considerable reluctance, he twisted open the stopper, and immediately a refreshing fragrance that invigorated the Soul wafted forth.

This jade bottle contained the Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk!

Having reached this point, Qin Yichen could no longer afford to worry about what he could or could not spare. If he did not replenish the small Pill Furnace soon, he would be unable to continue forward.

Subsequently, drop by drop of Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk poured into the Pill Furnace as he tilted the bottle.

After the Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk was poured in, the small Pill Furnace seemed to emit a satisfied moan, and then a crystalline light barrier once again poured forth from the furnace, protecting Qin Yichen’s body.

Seeing that the small Pill Furnace had not disappointed him, Qin Yichen suppressed the pain in his heart and gazed resolutely ahead, taking another step forward.

To save Feng Qianxue, he must obtain the Amplifying Bodhi Fruit at all costs!

Before coming here, he had already prepared himself to consume these hard-earned resources.

Continuing in this manner, after travelling approximately another hundred kilometres, the small Pill Furnace dimmed once more. This time, Qin Yichen did not hesitate. Gritting his teeth, he tossed a Seven-Coloured Flower into the furnace.

The light barrier around the furnace surged with renewed vigour.

When the furnace dimmed again, Qin Yichen retrieved Medicine King-Grade medicinal herbs from his ring, one after another!

Seven-Coloured Flowers, Seven-Coloured Fruits, Jade Clear Ice Soul Spirit Herb…

As Qin Yichen’s steps progressed, countless Medicine Kings that would have caused bloody battles if released into the world were tossed into the furnace as if they cost nothing.

Under the support of these painstakingly collected medicinal materials, Qin Yichen finally advanced approximately eight hundred kilometres.

At this point, he was gradually approaching the Fallen God Abyss.

Looking ahead, black torrents spread across the sky like a deluge, emanating an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.

At the limit of his vision, an enormous fissure tore open, and faintly, Soul-stirring sounds continuously emerged from the depths of the abyss. It was precisely these sounds that had bewildered countless adventurers from a thousand kilometres away, drawing them in only to be reduced to piles of ash.

That was the Fallen God Abyss!

The sounds emanating from the Fallen God Abyss caused Qin Yichen to become momentarily dazed. Fortunately, he had the small Pill Furnace’s light barrier for protection, and he had prepared himself mentally in advance, so he was not completely bewildered by these sounds.

Even the Spiritual Energy of an Earth Grade Alchemy Master probably could not resist the bewitchment of these sounds…

Qin Yichen thought with a somewhat grave expression. Here, still nearly two hundred kilometres from the Fallen God Abyss, these sounds had already caused his Soul to feel dazed. What would happen if he stood before the Fallen God Abyss itself? How powerful would these sounds become?

Moreover, his objective was that legendary mysterious celestial island that supposedly required crossing the Fallen God Abyss to reach!

The remaining journey made Qin Yichen suffer tremendously. In less than a hundred kilometres, he had already replenished the furnace three or four times. By now, almost all the Medicine King Grade medicinal materials in his possession had been fed into the small Pill Furnace.

After stopping once more to feed the last Medicine King from his ring into the small Pill Furnace, Qin Yichen’s expression grew dark.

He had been careless…

Looking at the Fallen God Abyss still over a hundred kilometres away, Qin Yichen’s heart felt ice-cold. He smiled bitterly, closed his eyes, and shook his head.

He had still underestimated the terror of the Fallen God Abyss!

As he drew closer to the Fallen God Abyss, the curse became increasingly formidable, and the small Pill Furnace’s consumption increased exponentially!

Now, the remaining medicinal materials in his ring were mostly rare Spirit Herbs, below the Medicine King Grade. These Spirit Herbs were certainly not as effective as Medicine King Grade materials, but they had the advantage of quantity.

Originally, these materials had been prepared for his journey out of the Fallen God Abyss!

If he used these materials now, when he wanted to leave, even the small Pill Furnace would be powerless to help him!

If he left now, with these materials’ support, he believed he had a reasonable chance of retreating successfully.

However, if he continued forward, not only was it uncertain whether these materials could sustain him until he reached the Fallen God Abyss, but he would have no opportunity to turn back!

At this moment, Qin Yichen’s heart struggled.

Although he was prepared to sacrifice everything for Feng Qianxue, otherwise, he would not have chosen this path despite knowing the terror of the Fallen God Abyss.

After hesitating for the duration of a tea break, when Qin Yichen finally opened his eyes again, there was no longer any trace of hesitation in his gaze. What remained was unwavering determination!

He was absolutely determined to obtain the Amplifying Bodhi Fruit!

Even if the Fallen God Abyss, which countless great figures dared not penetrate deeply, blocked his path!

As he fed herb after herb into the furnace, Qin Yichen’s face no longer showed pain or hesitation. Expressionless, he bore the pressure like a massive mountain and slowly advanced forward.
