Alchemy Master

Chapter 995, So You’re the One Who Wants to Challenge Me?

Only Forces that contributed to the Human Race qualified to occupy positions in Saints Heavenly City.

Sacred Lands with residences in Saints Heavenly City all had numerous experts within their Sacred Lands fighting outside on behalf of the Human Race, resisting powerful beings of various Races who had come to plunder.

Like Brilliant Sky Sacred Land. On the surface, below the Saint Realm, their strongest was Northern Brilliant Hall’s Hall Master Xu. Actually, that was because many experts with deeper foundations and greater strength than Hall Master Xu were fighting outside for the Human Race’s safety.

Though the Human Race had obtained land where they could multiply and flourish, across the entire continent, in Foreign Races’ eyes, the Human Race was like delicious delicacies. They constantly wanted to invade Human Race territory and feast on the people.

To bring one’s own Force to Saints Heavenly City required massive contributions. At the minimum, before exposing all his trump cards, Qin Yichen still lacked such qualifications.

Similarly, Ying Xinghui clearly also knew Mu Yanfeng lacked the qualification to let his Family establish footing in Saints Heavenly City. Thus, he used this as leverage, wanting to force Qin Yichen out.

[Ying Xinghui, you are truly vicious.] Qin Yichen snorted coldly internally. If he couldn’t produce countermeasures, having lost the initiative, the latter would definitely not give him any breathing room, completely crushing him at every opportunity.

[But, wanting to suppress me with just a Heaven Grade Divine Appraiser. You think far too highly of yourself.] After detecting Ying Xinghui’s scheme, Qin Yichen’s heart actually grew less anxious.

“Junior Brother Qin, this matter requires us to plan for the long-term. We cannot act impulsively. I’ll first report this matter to the Sacred Master. As long as the Sacred Master mentions this to Seven Stars Sacred Land, they can definitely temporarily protect the Mu Family. You absolutely must not act rashly.” Mu Yanfeng furrowed his brow. Though what Qin Yichen said was correct, Ying Xinghui was Ethereal Spirit Sacred Land’s Sacred Master Candidate. His power was immense and could not be underestimated in the slightest.

He would rather bear some worry himself than have Qin Yichen oppose Ying Xinghui because of this.

Actually, he had long known in his heart that when Feng Qianxue’s Phoenix Martial Soul was exposed, countless youths would view Qin Yichen as their rival.

Wanting peace… that was merely wishful thinking in his heart…

“Senior Brother Mu, relax. When people extend their faces right under our feet, if we don’t stomp hard several times, how can we live up to their efforts!” A cold gleam flashed through Qin Yichen’s eyes. Then his gaze turned toward Xuan Mingge as he smiled lightly. “I believe today Brother Xuan will definitely vent our anger, thoroughly slapping that so-called Heaven Grade Divine Appraiser in the face, right?”

“Ah?” Hearing this, Xuan Mingge blinked his eyes with a completely bewildered expression.

If competing in martial combat with Xu Yuzhu, he would definitely pat his chest and guarantee it. But this was the Dao of Crystal Appraisal… he truly had zero confidence.

“Brother Xuan, you must believe in your own luck. You even guessed correctly about the Mutated Spirit Seed. Are you really that afraid of one old geezer?” Looking at the completely unconfident Xuan Mingge, Qin Yichen smiled lightly.

“*Hmph!* I’m a dignified Sacred Master Candidate. How could I fear one old man? Let’s go!” Hearing this, Xuan Mingge’s face also recovered some confidence as he immediately declared.

Naturally he had not thought as deeply about this matter as Qin Yichen. In his view, what did losing matter? As a top young combatant from a Sacred Land, crystal appraisal was merely his hobby. Losing would not excessively impact his reputation.

Moreover, just as Qin Yichen said: He had ‘appraised’ even a Mutated Spirit Seed correctly. This was enough to prove his Heaven Defying luck. Perhaps during the upcoming competition his luck would strike again and he would actually win?

After organizing things briefly, everyone began departing from the residence. Seeing he could not dissuade them, Mu Yanfeng could only sigh lightly. After thinking it over, he decided reporting this to the Sacred Master was most urgent.

“How… Why does he show no worry whatsoever? Does he think Xuan Mingge can compete with a Heaven Grade Divine Appraiser?” Following behind Qin Yichen out of the manor, Lin Fengying looked at the figure ahead, his heart full of confusion.

In his view, Qin Yichen should not be that rash of a person.

Ancient Jade Pavilion, Spirit Crystal Area.

Though numerous Sacred Lands paid no attention to this competition with almost no suspense, currently the Spirit Crystal Area still contained many figures.

Clearly, many who enjoyed watching excitement had rushed over. These people were overwhelmingly here for Xu Yuzhu’s reputation.

In the Spirit Crystal Area, Xu Yuzhu and Ying Xinghui sat in two wooden chairs, sensing reverent gazes coming from all directions.

Among these gazes, occasionally some unusual glimmers made Xu Yuzhu somewhat displeased internally.

A dignified Heaven Grade Divine Appraiser proactively challenging a Martial Artist, who relied only on luck. If not for this being at Ying Xinghui’s request, how could he possibly do such a thing?

After a long time, Xuan Mingge and Qin Yichen’s group finally entered the Spirit Crystal Area. Immediately, numerous gazes shot toward them.

“Haha, Sacred Master Candidate Xuan, who knew your attainments in the Dao of Crystal Appraisal were so high!”

“Sacred Master Candidate Xuan, I’m rooting for you!”

“Sacred Master Candidate Xuan, let them know your capabilities!”

Upon entering the Spirit Crystal Area, quite a few clamorous voices immediately rang out.

Hearing these voices, Xu Yuzhu’s face immediately became considerably uglier. Ying Xinghui’s brow also furrowed slightly. However, those who spoke were mostly Sacred Master Candidates who came to watch the excitement. Though they feared him, it had not reached the point where they dare not speak for the fun of it.

“You’re too kind, too kind!”

Toward those greeting him, Xuan Mingge cupped his fists with a smiling face, as if he had not the slightest worry about the upcoming competition with a Heaven Grade Divine Appraiser.

Though before Qin Yichen he occasionally displayed somewhat improper expressions, at this moment, a Sacred Land’s Sacred Master Candidate’s bearing was fully revealed!

At this time, Xu Yuzhu’s expression was stoney.

Across all Sacred Lands, he counted as a somewhat famous figure. Adding his Heaven Grade Divine Appraiser status, he was deeply admired by many. Yet now, lowering his status to compete in crystal appraisal with a Junior, and people were actually cheering for that Junior. How could he possibly endure this?

*Hmph!* Ying Xinghui clearly also detected the embarrassment Xu Yuzhu felt. With a cold snort, he finally suppressed those deliberately making trouble.

After all, no one wanted to offend an existence like Ying Xinghui over momentary loose lips.

“Oh, so this must be Master Xu? So, you’re the one who wants to challenge me?” Seeing those annoying noisy people around them quieting down, Xu Yuzhu’s old face finally eased somewhat. However, the next instant, Xuan Mingge’s words nearly made him spit out a mouthful of old blood.
