"Amber relic! This is an Amber relic!" someone exclaimed.
"What is an Amber relic?"
Someone struggled to recover from the shock and couldn’t help but ask upon hearing that.
"This is a more advanced sealing method. Because they’re worried about the secret box getting damaged, an extra layer of protection was added. And due to its amber-like appearance, it got its name!" The person was full of amazement, "Amber relics are at least Earth-tier items!"
Ssss!
The others inhaled sharply upon hearing this.
Suddenly.
Numerous envious gazes fell directly on Ye Qingchen.
This is an Earth-tier Alchemy Furnace!
One must know.
Items of the Earth-tier are already rare on the Cyan Continent.
Even a single one is enough to become the treasured artifact of any major sect or power.
This young man, his luck is truly phenomenal!
He actually managed to get an Earth-grade Alchemy Furnace from the secret box.
"If I had known, I would have bought this secret box!" someone said, regretfully clenching their chest. "I looked at this stall for two days, bought dozens of secret boxes, and missed this one!"
"Who didn’t?" Everyone regretted missing the chance of obtaining an Earth-tier treasure and were filled with remorse.
"How can this be?"
The young man was also stunned on the spot.
His face was full of surprise and anger.
Surprised that there was an Earth-grade Alchemy Furnace in this secret box.
Angry that Ye Qingchen obtained the Furnace, and made him lose face publicly.
"Earth-grade Middle! This is of the same level as that stone wall in the True Martial Sect!" Ye Qingchen was also overjoyed. He had been borrowing Kong Shun’s alchemy furnace, and now he just got the one he needed.
However.
Such an item is naturally not suitable to expose in public.
Ye Qingchen had already realized.
The gazes of the people around him had changed.
"Hold on a second!"
Just as Ye Qingchen was about to store the Alchemy Furnace into his storage bracelet and leave, the young man suddenly spoke, "Brother, I am an Alchemist. Would you be willing to sell me that Alchemy Furnace? We can discuss the price!"
With his words, everyone’s gaze toward the young man changed again.
To participate in this alchemical exchange, none are without substantial wealth. But compared to Alchemists, they pale in comparison. Alchemy is consumable, and every Alchemist is like a gold mine.
Moreover.
Wherever there are cultivators, there will be conflicts. With conflict comes casualties, which will inevitably lead to Alchemists. Every Alchemist has a vast network and cannot be offended!
However, some family and sect members disagreed.
They also have Alchemists in their families and would naturally want to purchase the Alchemy Furnace for their own Alchemists.
"No sale!"
Ye Qingchen shook his head.
He’s an Alchemist, so why shouldn’t he be?
"Brother, my name is Zhou Long Army. If you agree to sell me the Alchemy Furnace, not only can you name your price, but in the future, my master can also personally refine three batches of elixirs for you!"
The young man continued.
His words brought a quake to the whole field!
"He’s Zhou Long Army? A disciple of Mu Shanhe?"
"Mu Shanhe is a master-level Alchemist... If it were me, I’d agree. Exchanging an Earth-tier Alchemy Furnace for three opportunities with Mu Shanhe is like gaining three extra lives!"
"Yes, yes, smart people know what choice to make!"
Everyone regretted their decisions.
Mu Shanhe is a master-level Alchemist, whose alchemical prowess is renowned throughout the Cyan Continent. Countless families and sects beg for his elixirs.
Such an opportunity is truly rare!
After Zhou Long Army offered such conditions, some who were originally willing to pay high prices for the Alchemy Furnace hesitated. They simply couldn’t compete with an Alchemist of Mu Shanhe’s caliber.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingchen still shook his head and said:
"No sale!"
In the eyes of everyone shocked, he calmly said: "Moreover, I am also an Alchemist!"
"You are also an Alchemist?"
These words brought shock to everyone.
And Zhou Long Army’s face immediately darkened.
He naturally knew.
For an Alchemist, an Earth-grade Alchemy Furnace means something monumental. No one would give it up!
However!
He was unwilling to let this Alchemy Furnace slip through his fingers.
Thinking of this, Zhou Long Army’s voice turned cold: "Kid, whether you sell this Alchemy Furnace is not up to you! If you don’t hand it over today, don’t expect to leave here in one piece!"
"Do you really think you can just take it by force?" Ye Qingchen’s gaze also turned cold.
Zhou Long Army didn’t answer, only gestured with his hand.
Earth-grade Middle Pill Furnace!
It’s enough for him to throw away his dignity and go all out to snatch it, especially with Mu Shanhe backing him. He had no fear of anyone. With Zhou Long Army’s movement, a scar-faced man stepped forward from the crowd.
This man was tall, with an aura of wholeness, except for a terrifying scar from his forehead to his chin, almost splitting his entire face in half.
"A Profound Pill Realm expert!"
The crowd was full of dread.
"That’s Li Yidao!"
Someone exclaimed.
Instantly, many people’s gazes at Ye Qingchen turned from envy to pity.
"This kid is doomed!"
"Yes, how can he possibly offend Zhou Long Army?"
"It’s all over now. Not only has he lost the opportunity for three attempts by Mu Shanhe, but he might also lose his life here!"
A coveted possession leads to crime.
An Earth-grade Alchemy Furnace is enough to incite murder and robbery.
And this Li Yidao is no pushover, his blade skills are deadly and vicious. Because he can kill with just one slash, that’s how he earned his nickname. Plus, besides Li Yidao, several other Profound Pill Realm experts were backing Zhou Long Army!
However, Hong Man, Jiang Churan and a few others shook their heads discreetly.
Zhou Long Army didn’t know what he was getting into, daring to use force against Ye Qingchen? Just one Profound Pill Realm is not enough; even if there were more, so what?
"If you hand over the Alchemy Furnace now, my earlier offer stands, except the opportunity for my master’s intervention will be gone!" Zhou Long Army smirked at Ye Qingchen, "Now it’s time for you to decide!"
Seeing this, everyone shook their heads.
On one side is his own life, on the other, the Earth-grade Alchemy Furnace.
No matter who it is, they would know what to choose.
However.
The unforeseen happened; Ye Qingchen slowly lifted his head and said with an unchanged expression:
"You can just get lost!"
"What did you say?" Zhou Long Army’s face turned cold, "In that case, it’s not up to you! Li Yidao, cut off his hands; I don’t believe he won’t comply!"
Boom!
As the words fell.
Li Yidao stepped forward and unsheathed his blade with lightning speed. A blade light like a shining thread cut across several meters of space in an instant, slashing directly towards Ye Qingchen’s shoulder.
The blade light was tremendously fierce and carried a powerful wind that sent those nearby stumbling and unsteady.
"Profound Clarity One Slash!"
An exclamation erupted from the crowd.
However.
This slash was too fast, catching everyone off guard. They only saw a blur, and the slash was already reaching Ye Qingchen, aiming straight for his hands!
Zhou Long Army had a cold smile on his face.
He seemed to already foresee the Earth-grade Alchemy Furnace falling into his hands!
The crowd also shook their heads, as if already seeing Ye Qingchen’s blood splattering, arms severed, and eventually crying as he offered up the Alchemy Furnace!
However.
Ye Qingchen smiled faintly, raised his finger, and gently pointed.
With a thundering roar.
A finger of thunder!
A finger of awe!
