Chapter 8

The Divine Forbidden Land far surpasses the levels possessed by the Heavenly Martial Continent. Before entering the Divine Forbidden Land, Qin Chen almost couldn’t believe that there was such a miraculous cultivation technique as the Nine Stars Divine Emperor Art.

It was stated that only those who had successfully unblocked all twelve meridians during the Pulse Condensation stage were qualified to cultivate the Nine Stars Divine Emperor Art.

However, although the human body has twelve meridians, Qin Chen’s impression was that in the entire history of the Heavenly Martial Continent, no one had ever achieved this during the Pulse Condensation stage.

In his previous life, even the most talented geniuses in the Martial Realm could only unblock eleven meridians, which was already their limit.

But in the Nine Stars Divine Emperor Art, there were records of how to unblock all twelve meridians.

"When I obtained the Nine Stars Divine Emperor Art in my previous life, I was already an Eighth Rank Martial Emperor, long past the stage of laying foundations. Now that heaven has given me another chance, not cultivating the Nine Stars Divine Emperor Art would be a waste of my rebirth."

"But..."

"Now that I have reached the Human Rank cultivation, my seven meridians have already been set. Unless I break and then rebuild, it’s impossible to unblock the remaining meridians..."

"Perhaps Feng Shaoyu and the others are eager to act because they want to obtain the Nine Stars Divine Emperor Art and other treasures from me?"

Qin Chen’s eyes shone like stars.

After a moment of deep thought, he opened the door and quickly walked out.

"Mother, I’m going out for a bit. I’ll be back soon." Qin Chen greeted his mother and quickly left the Qin Manor.

"Be careful," Qin Yuechi said urgently, "and don’t cause trouble," she didn’t say this out loud, but she silently prayed in her heart.

On the way, all the servants of the Qin family who encountered him stepped aside from a distance. Even the guards at the entrance of the Qin Manor looked at him with unusual expressions and showed great respect.

The news of Qin Chen killing two guards in front of Lady Zhao had spread throughout the Qin Manor. Almost no one in the Qin Manor dared to look down on this special young master.

On the street.

The capital was bustling with activity, and Qin Chen suddenly felt as if he were in a different world. He carefully felt every blade of grass, every tree, every person, and every scene, unable to resist being immersed in it.

Following his memory, he entered a very busy street in the capital, gradually reaching the most prosperous street in the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom.

On both sides of the street, various magnificent and grand shops stood tall.

"To break and then rebuild, to recondense the meridians, I must rely on the Heavenly Meridian Divine Needle. The materials needed to refine the Heavenly Meridian Divine Needle are extremely precious and can only be found in places where alchemists gather."

Qin Chen pondered as he moved forward.

Suddenly, a building that looked like a landmark appeared before him. The building was a hundred meters tall, majestic and grand, situated at a corner of the street, occupying an excellent location.

At that moment, the open space in front of the shop was bustling with people, and luxurious carriages were parked everywhere, indicating that the customers entering this shop were either wealthy or noble.

"Alchemist Hall!"

Qin Chen raised his head, saw the gilded characters on the sign at the entrance of the building, and stepped in.

The Alchemist Hall is one of the most powerful organizations on the Heavenly Martial Continent, with a history that is incredibly long, said to have been passed down from ancient times.

On the Heavenly Martial Continent, organizations like the Alchemist Hall, the Alchemist Hall, and the Bloodline Holy Land possess formidable strength, and even the top empires on the continent must show great respect.

Among them, the Alchemist Hall is a specialized organization that gathers alchemists from all over the world. The professional certification, rank promotion, and badge issuance of alchemists across the world must be completed in the Alchemist Hall. Every city has a branch of the Alchemist Hall, and the Alchemist Hall in the capital of the Great Qi Kingdom is located in the capital of the entire Great Qi Kingdom, naturally more magnificent and grand than other branches.

"I wonder if they have the materials to refine the Heavenly Meridian Divine Needle here?"

Casually entering the Alchemist Hall, a noisy sound immediately reached Qin Chen’s ears.

The first-floor hall of the Alchemist Hall was incredibly spacious, with all kinds of people bustling about, making it very lively. There were no guards here, but the order was well-maintained.

"Welcome to the Alchemist Hall. May I ask, young sir, is there anything I can help you with?" A woman in a brocade robe suddenly stood in front of Qin Chen and smiled.

This person was young, with a calm gaze and an extraordinary aura, clearly the demeanor of someone who had seen the world. She was definitely not an ordinary noble’s son. Chen Yufei sized up Qin Chen and thought to herself.

Qin Chen was slightly taken aback, then came to his senses. In his previous life, whenever he went to the headquarters of the Alchemist Hall in the Martial Realm, the various elders and deputy hall masters of the Alchemist Hall would already be waiting outside, warmly welcoming him.

This gentle and casual greeting made Qin Chen feel a bit dazed. He smiled faintly and said, "I want to buy these alchemy materials. Do you have them?" Qin Chen took out paper and pen, quickly wrote down a list of materials, and handed it over.

Chen Yufei smiled and said, "Young sir, you must be joking. The Alchemist Hall is the place with the most alchemy materials in the Great Qi Kingdom. If we don’t have them, you might not find them even if you search the entire Great Qi Kingdom."

Chen Yufei smiled and took the list, carefully reading it.

Upon reading it, her expression changed, her eyes turning from curiosity to surprise, and she couldn’t help but laugh. "Young sir, did you write the wrong materials? I’ve been in the Alchemist Hall for four or five years, and I’ve never heard of most of the materials you wrote!"

Chen Yufei’s words made Qin Chen’s heart sink. The worst thing he didn’t want to happen had indeed happened.

He knew that the Alchemist Hall in the Great Qi Kingdom was relatively remote, so he had replaced the high-grade materials needed to refine the Heavenly Meridian Divine Needle with more common ones, but it still didn’t work.

If he couldn’t refine the Heavenly Meridian Divine Needle, he wouldn’t be able to break and then rebuild, recondense the qi pool, and cultivate the Nine Stars Divine Emperor Art.

"Do you have these materials?"

Qin Chen wrote down a few alternative materials and handed them to Chen Yufei.

If even these materials weren’t available, things would get complicated.

"Hey, isn’t that Brother Chen? I heard you didn’t awaken your bloodline at the Awakening Ceremony in the academy again? What, can’t become a martial artist, so you want to become an alchemist?"

At this moment, a mocking voice suddenly came from the entrance, and a man and a woman walked in from the entrance of the Alchemist Hall.

The man was wearing a white robe, looking quite dashing and charming. This person was Qin Chen’s second brother, Qin Feng, the second son of Zhao Feng.

The woman accompanying Qin Feng was one of the four beauties of the capital, the beloved daughter of Duke Kang, Zhao Lingshan.

Zhao Lingshan was wearing a pink long dress, with an extraordinary aura. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, her figure was extremely curvaceous. Even in a dress, one could still feel her well-proportioned figure, which was very attractive. Her white collarbone was like jade, drawing the attention of everyone.
