Alchemy Master

Chapter 990, Golden Card

Translator: Silavin

Under numerous gazes, that ancient figure fell into contemplation.

In everyone’s view, ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid was no small figure. It was equivalent to a hundred Peak Grade Spirit Seeds. Whether this Mutated Spirit Seed, only half of which had actually mutated, was truly worth such a price remained genuinely questionable.

“Hmm?” During his contemplation, the Elder’s gaze seemingly landed upon Feng Qianxue standing beside Qin Yichen. When he observed her, a gleam of brilliant light flashed through the depths of his profound eyes.

[A Phoenix Martial Soul… interesting. In that case, these two youngsters must be Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue from Brilliant Sky Sacred Land.]

The ancient figure murmured internally, his mind already calculating how to establish favourable relations with the possessor of the Phoenix Martial Soul before those other old fellows could swallow their pride and make their move.

Subsequently, under everyone’s astonished gazes, having contemplated for barely a moment, the ancient figure nodded his head, accepting the proposition.

“This card still contains ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid in value. Little Brother, please keep it safe.”

Amidst numerous shocked gazes, the Elder flipped his palm, and a golden card floated toward Qin Yichen.

Upon that golden card, patterns proliferated horizontally, as if depicting a majestic ancient pavilion. It was imposing and majestic, all while maintaining an air of noble distinction.

When they caught sight of this card, everyone’s eyes practically straightened.

Anyone with even a modicum of experience knew what this card represented… Ancient Jade Pavilion’s VIP!

Not only could one deposit and withdraw Spirit Liquid at any Ancient Jade Pavilion location using this card, but even more enticing was that with this card, one could enjoy a ten percent discount on purchases at all Ancient Jade Pavilion assets!

Ten percent, meaning if he purchased another thousand drops of Spirit Liquid worth of items, he could save the price of a Peak Grade Spirit Seed!

This type of golden card, supposedly since Ancient Jade Pavilion began issuing them, absolutely had not exceeded a hundred in total!

Countless Sacred Masters had exhausted every means yet still lacked the qualifications to obtain such an item. It represented a status symbol!

Without the slightest exaggeration, this card’s value far exceeded the so-called ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid!

What proved most astonishing was this old ancient expert’s identity. Who exactly was he, that he possessed a gold card from Ancient Jade Pavilion? Moreover, he was presenting such a precious item to someone else with both hands!

Could it be that he did not know how precious this gold card was?

Ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid. If he had not brought it with him, others would be more than willing to give it to him! People would even be willing to bankrupt themselves to give him twenty thousand, if only they would bestow this gold card upon them!

Within the Spirit Crystal Area, everyone’s hearts couldn’t help crying out.

Upon seeing this gold card, Qin Yichen also experienced a moment of mild shock. Even in his previous life, only after becoming an Alchemy Saint, when Ancient Jade Pavilion wanted to prevent him from visiting anymore, had they finally granted him a gold card.

[This old man’s eyes are truly venomous!] Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He noticed the latter’s gaze intentionally or unintentionally observing Feng Qianxue, who stood silently beside him, and his heart immediately understood.

The possessor of a Phoenix Martial Soul could indeed receive such treatment. Most likely, this old ancient expert wanted to use his hand to present the gold card to Feng Qianxue.

To willingly give away even this type of gold card. The Force backing this Elder probably was not inferior to Ancient Jade Pavilion itself!

“Well said, well said.” Qin Yichen nodded his head lightly. Under numerous covetous gazes, he accepted the gold card, examined it for a few moments, then casually tucked it into his sleeve robe with remarkable nonchalance.

“Is this fellow from some impoverished backwater!?”

“Could it be that he doesn’t even know what this gold card represents?”

“Heavens, what kind of expression is that?!”

Observing Qin Yichen’s somewhat skeptical expression, everyone’s hearts filled with lamentation. They practically wanted to rush forward and loudly inform him what the gold card represented, then watch his expression of stunned realization.

That would be the reaction they expected Qin Yichen should have!

Subsequently, the Elder accepted that half-mutated Peak Grade Spirit Seed. With a wave of his sleeve, his form dissipated and vanished. This manner of arriving without trace and departing without shadow drew considerable admiration from many youths.

Following the Elder’s departure, the Spirit Crystal Area fell into brief silence due to the gold card’s appearance.

“*Ahem* You two…”

This silence persisted for only a moment’s time when suddenly Qin Yichen’s light cough rang out, yanking everyone back from that state of shock.

Only then did they remember, before opening that Shooting Star Spirit Crystal, this fellow had a wager with the two Divine Appraisers!

Master Sha Wei’s Successors had actually appraised a mutated Peak Grade Spirit Seed as a waste crystal that would yield nothing good. This seemed like quite an interesting affair.

Under Qin Yichen’s voice, Zhou Dasha and Zhou Xiaosha’s complexions thoroughly darkened.

Witnessing this scene, quite a few people’s faces displayed somewhat playful smiles, clearly awaiting their forthcoming embarrassment.

“Big Fool and Little Fool, still dawdling about what? Could it be that you two can’t produce ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid?” At this moment, Xuan Mingge, who had suppressed himself for so long, also loudly shouted. His face beamed with delight. He nearly could not care about his identity as a Sacred Master Candidate and wanted to jump about.

This time, causing Zhou Dasha and Zhou Xiaosha such humiliation brought immense satisfaction to his heart. More crucially, this time he had proven himself. This represented his first great victory on the Dao of Crystal Appraisal… or rather, the Dao of Blind Guessing!

This felt even more satisfying than thoroughly beating these two fellows!

Unconsciously, Xuan Mingge had developed genuine favourable feelings toward Qin Yichen. This feeling did not originate from deliberately approaching the possessor of the Phoenix Martial Soul, but genuine favourable sentiment towards Qin Yichen himself.

“These two wastrels!” Behind Zhou Dasha and his companion, Sacred Master Candidate Bei Ling’s complexion also looked extremely ugly.

After Qin Yichen entered the Spirit Crystal Area, Ying Xinghui had immediately learned of it. However, he had not directly come seeking trouble. After all, even he possessed no great proficiency in the Dao of Crystal Appraisal.

Therefore, upon receiving the news, Ying Xinghui had immediately dispatched someone back to his Sacred Land’s separate residence to request for his Ethereal Spirit Sacred Land’s Divine Appraisers to be sent over.

Bei Ling had felt it unnecessary for Ying Xinghui to make a move. So, he took the initiative himself, instigating Zhou Dasha and Zhou Xiaosha to come provoke them first.

Originally expecting to easily humiliate Qin Yichen and his group, he never anticipated this fellow’s luck to be so Heaven Defying. He even suspected the latter had eaten dog excrement to possess such Heaven Defying fortune!

Though merely a half-mutated Peak Grade Spirit Seed, it had still been purchased for ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid! As for that gold card, it did not even count within the bet, yet had worth surpassing anything they could possibly afford.

This had thoroughly proven Zhou Dasha and Zhou Xiaosha’s defeat!

And Bei Ling’s opportunity to perform before Ying Xinghui had also completely fallen through.

Silavin: Zhou Dasha and Zhou Xiaosha also means Big Sand and Little Sand.
