Alchemy Master

Chapter 981, Three Areas

Translator: Silavin

Saints Heavenly City was extremely vast.

Fortunately, throughout the city, there were Transport Arrays positioned at regular intervals.

These were naturally established to prevent Foreign Races from suddenly attacking certain locations, allowing for their forces to rapidly reinforce those weak points.

Without these Transport Arrays, if Foreign Races attacked near the ‘Dragon Tail’ of Saints Heavenly City, even the strongest experts from Saints Heavenly Manor would need several days of travel. By the time they arrived days later, it would certainly be too late.

With these Transport Arrays, the city’s inhabitants were naturally also allowed greater convenience.

After paying thirty Low Grade Spirit Seeds, the three of them entered a Transport Array and were transported to the most prosperous district within Saints Heavenly City.

This was the location closest to the ‘Dragon Head’.

Emerging from the Transport Array, they could see a great city suspended in the air, like a celestial realm risen from the earth, floating in space while casting down ten thousand metres of radiant glow.

That was the top Force of the Human Race… Saints Heavenly Manor!

Beneath Saints Heavenly Manor lay an expansive open plaza, and connecting Saints Heavenly Manor to Saints Heavenly City was a broad stairway.

That was… the Heaven Stairway!

Ascending the Heaven Stairway would allow entry into Saints Heavenly Manor.

At this moment, many people gathered in the surrounding area, gazing up at Saints Heavenly Manor and the Heaven Stairway, various sounds of admiration escaping their lips.

The vastness of Saints Heavenly Manor absolutely exceeded any city within territories of the Human Race, yet it floated suspended in the air as though gravity held no sway over it. It was truly a divine miracle.

“So beautiful…” Feng Qianxue murmured, captivated by the spectacle of Saints Heavenly Manor.

“Damn, how can that stairway be so sturdy? It can support such a massive city… even I, Chen Hui, must admit defeat!” Chen Hui touched his own solid muscles while sighing, causing Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue to softly chuckle.

While it appeared that Saints Heavenly Manor’s only support was that single Heaven Stairway, in reality, Saints Heavenly Manor was not suspended purely because of the Heaven Stairway.

“Let’s go.”

Qin Yichen patted Chen Hui’s shoulder and took Feng Qianxue’s delicate hand, walking towards a magnificent pavilion not far away.

Ancient Jade Pavilion stood upon a lake’s surface, mist swirling across the water, making the entire Ancient Jade Pavilion appear as though nestled within clouds and fog, possessing considerable immortal essence.

In his previous life, Qin Yichen had visited this Ancient Jade Pavilion frequently.

He often sold Pills here and purchased materials he desired.

Within Ancient Jade Pavilion, there were three distinct areas.

First was the Treasure Area.

Second was the Auction Area.

Third was the Spirit Crystal Area.

The so-called Spirit Crystal Area was specifically dedicated to selling Shooting Star Spirit Crystals.

Speaking of which, the most popular was not the Treasure Area, nor the Auction Area, but rather the Spirit Crystal Area.

Primarily, it centred on a single word… ‘gambling’!

However, Qin Yichen’s purpose on this visit was the Treasure Area.

“Welcome to Ancient Jade Pavilion.”

As the three of them reached the entrance to the Treasure Area, a curvaceous beautiful female attendant came forward, her voice light and melodious, making one feel comfortable from the heart.

“Please, come inside.” The female attendant smiled warmly, leading the three of them into the Treasure Area.

Upon entering, the view opened up dramatically, various Spiritual Energies could be felt.

The swords and blades hanging upon the walls each radiated their own brilliance, dazzling and eye-catching. Clearly, nothing here was an ordinary item.

Qin Yichen merely glanced at one of the blades and discovered its marked price…

[Five hundred Spirit Liquid!?]

That was equivalent to five Peak Grade Spirit Seeds!

Of course, beneath such an expensive price, the extraordinary nature of those swords and blades was further demonstrated.

Besides swords and blades, there were various radiant rare treasures and wonders, rendering the entire space extraordinarily magnificent, making one feel as though within a Dragon’s treasure vault.

Qin Yichen’s gaze swept past these swords, blades, and treasures, settling upon the stall for spirit medicines.

The spirit medicines within the Treasure Area had dedicated medicinal gardens, each herb occupying its own area, each area containing Arrays: some resembled volcanic lands, where within volcanic magma a single palm-sized Lingzi grew.

Others featured icy landscapes, where upon the frozen earth a white lotus bloomed.

Strange and varied, anything was possible.

[Found it. Mysterious Purple Cloud Vine!] Qin Yichen’s gaze fell upon a tree vine.

This was a purple-coloured tree vine, thick as a Human arm, climbing upon a cliff wall specially constructed by Ancient Jade Pavilion, resembling a Flood Dragon that might ascend into the sky at any moment.

This was precisely the main medicinal ingredient for the Purple Cloud Pill that Qin Yichen wished to refine.

Purple Cloud Pills would be developed about four thousand years in the future, an existence comparable to the Extreme Emperor Pill.

Qin Yichen had already reached the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm. When he broke through to Peak Stage Martial Emperor Realm and consumed this Purple Cloud Pill, he would be able to challenge the Martial Ancestor Realm.

“Does the Young Master wish to purchase the Mysterious Purple Cloud Vine?” Noticing his gaze, the smile on the female attendant’s pretty face grew even more pronounced, her voice even more alluring.

“Yes…” Qin Yichen had just begun to respond when, the next moment, he swallowed his words back.

The reason was the Mysterious Purple Cloud Vine’s marked price: ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid!

This was equivalent to a full one hundred Peak Grade Spirit Seeds!

The current Qin Yichen could not even produce ten Peak Grade Spirit Seeds, let alone one hundred.

“Oh my, if it isn’t Sacred Master Candidate Qin. what a coincidence…”

Just as Qin Yichen found himself in difficulty, a voice laden with mockery came from not far away.

A young man surrounded by a group of people walked over.

He wore black rain-patterned brocade robes, a white spiral-patterned gentleman’s sash bound at his waist, wind-like hair framing a pair of bright, spirited eyes. His tall physique subtly emanated an aura belonging to those in positions of superiority. He exuded a magnificent bearing and radiated heroism.

Beside him, Qin Yichen spotted a familiar figure… Bei Ling.

At this moment, Bei Ling stood behind this young man, actually playing the role of a minor errand runner, and from his demeanour, he appeared willing, not coerced.

Qin Yichen’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

For Bei Ling, who possessed the status of a Sacred Land’s Sacred Master Candidate, to adopt such an attitude clearly indicated this young man’s extraordinary background.

“Isn’t that the Sacred Master Candidate of Ethereal Spirit Sacred Land… Ying Xinghui?!”

While he was still speculating about this person’s identity, someone nearby recognised the young man.

“The Sacred Master Candidate of Ethereal Spirit Sacred Land?” Qin Yichen’s expression became grave.

Within the Human Race’s territories, there were far more Sacred Lands than the Twelve Sacred Lands Qin Yichen was from. In fact, there were actually thousands of them.

Within the Twelve Sacred Lands, Brilliant Sky Sacred Land might have been known, even in its fallen state. However, even at its peak, it could not even be ranked high enough to be renowned. Naturally, that means Brilliant Sky Sacred Land remained unknown to most.

However, Ethereal Spirit Sacred Land was different. Even amongst these thousands of Sacred Lands, it could rank within the top ten Great Sacred Lands.

Amongst the top ten Sacred Lands, Ethereal Spirit Sacred Land ranked eighth!

Moreover, according to legend, Ethereal Spirit Sacred Land’s Founder was one of the strongest experts who followed one of Ancestor Bodhi’s three Disciples!

In other words, from the moment the Human Race came into existence, Ethereal Spirit Sacred Land already existed.

This demonstrated Ethereal Spirit Sacred Land’s extraordinary nature!

This demonstrated the depth of its foundation!

No wonder Bei Ling, possessing the status of Sacred Master Candidate, would willingly stand behind him.

This was not humiliation. On the contrary, for Bei Ling, this could even be considered a kind of… honour!

Silavin: Honestly, it is just the same concept again with the Imperial Dynasties. First starts off at six and then declares it to have many more.
