Translator: Silavin “Challenge?” Qin Yichen was slightly stunned. He did not understand who would dare cause trouble for the Li Family. [Could it be…] He thought of the new formula. [The other Families might not be able to tolerate it anymore and were forced to act.] The market impact caused by a new formula was too great. It was just a formula for Qi Recovery Pills, and that alone had already pushed others to act. If the Li Family were to release the other two new Pills, they could directly dominate the Pill market in Spreading Cloud City. Given the Li Family’s current overall strength, they could not act so domineering. These people coming to cause trouble for the Li Family probably just wanted a piece of the pie. “It’s because our Li Family’s Medicine Shop launched an improved version of Qi Recovery Pills that it made many other Forces in the city envious. So, there are some self-righteous young Alchemy Masters deliberately causing trouble in our Li Family’s shop under the guise of ‘friendly competition’,” the Alchemist Assistant said with a sigh. “If they win, they’ll make a big deal out of it to ruin our Li Family’s reputation.” “Oh?” Qin Yichen was not surprised. He walked towards the nearby medicine shelf. “Over these past few days, there have been five or six challenges, but they were all blocked by Brother Xiao Licheng. In the younger generation of Spreading Cloud City, there aren’t many who can match Brother Xiao.” When the apprentice noticed that after mentioning Xiao Licheng, Qin Yichen’s expression clearly changed, he immediately fell silent. In their view, perhaps Qin Yichen was competing with Xiao Licheng for Young Mistress Li Lingyan’s affection. As Qin Yichen took some medicinal herbs and was about to start refining Medicinal Liquid, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked towards the stairs. Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and moments later, someone arrived on the second floor. This person looked somewhat familiar to Qin Yichen. He had met him in this Medicine Building a few days ago. It was an apprentice that followed Xiao Licheng. However, at this moment, he was flustered. “Wang Qun, what’s wrong?” Seeing his panicked face, several Alchemist Assistants quickly walked over and asked. “Sir, you’re indeed here.” Before the apprentice called Wang Qun could answer them, upon seeing Qin Yichen, joy immediately surged in his eyes, and he clearly breathed a sigh of relief. “Huh?” Qin Yichen raised an eyebrow. “Sir, do you know about there are people causing trouble at our Li Family’s Medicine Shop?” Wang Qun said after taking several deep breaths. “Among the younger generation in Spreading Cloud City, there shouldn’t be many who can defeat Xiao Licheng, right?” Qin Yichen frowned. In his memory, among the younger generation in Spreading Cloud City, except for top geniuses like Liu Qiong’er, there should not be anyone comparable to Xiao Licheng. Although Xiao Licheng was an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, his strength was undeniable. Otherwise, he would not have been able to climb up so high. “Sir, you don’t know this but the Lin Family invited a young Alchemy Master called Mo Yun to challenge us, and coincidentally, Brother Xiao Licheng went out on business today and isn’t at the Medicine Shop.” Wang Qun said rather helplessly. At this critical moment, Xiao Licheng suddenly had business elsewhere, which puzzled them all. “The Ye Family also took advantage of this opportunity to come over. They’ve already defeated several of our Li Family’s Alchemy Masters, and now many Forces are watching the excitement…” At this point, his face looked quite dark. Although they were enraged, they could not vent. Hearing this, Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed. [This situation is too coincidental. Xiao Licheng isn’t around, and the enemy is here to cause trouble. If there isn’t something fishy going on, my name isn’t Qin Yichen. Most likely, not only did Xiao Licheng accept benefits from the Lin Family, but he also wanted to show the Li Family that without him, they had no one capable. In short, he wants to raise his own status!] “Because it’s the younger generation coming to challenge, Grandmaster Ran could not step in. Young Mistress asked me to come find you, hoping you could help save our face. If no one can stop Mo Yun, it will be a huge blow to the Li Family’s reputation.” Wang Qun looked at Qin Yichen, full of expectation. He had heard that Qin Yichen had already passed the Alchemy Master qualification test. Although there were many versions of the story, he believed that this young man, who could refine Sixth Grade Medicinal Liquid, would not need to cheat. “It seems like I have to go over there.” Qin Yichen pondered briefly and helplessly sighed. If the Li Family suffered a joint attack from the different Forces in the city, with the Lin Family pressuring them, it would not be good for him or the Li Family. Moreover, the Lin Family probably already knew that Lin Aotian was with the Li Family! “Is Sir going to take action?” Seeing him stand up, the Alchemist Assistants immediately showed excited expressions. Everyone only knew about Xiao Licheng in the Li Family, they did not know that the young man before them was the true monstrosity of the Li Family! Without delay, Qin Yichen walked directly towards the Li Family’s main gate. At the gate, a carriage was already waiting. … Spreading Cloud City Commercial Street. The Li Family’s Medicine Shop occupied a prime location, and because of the improved Qi Recovery Pills and Qi Recovery Liquid, it had become the focus of Spreading Cloud City. In a state of demand exceeding supply. The challenges these past few days had also attracted countless curious people to watch the excitement. At this moment, in the Li Family’s shop, the first-floor hall was almost completely crowded, with only a small space at the centre. In that space, there were clearly three camps. In one camp, Fatty Ye, Ye Liangchen, was leisurely sitting in a large chair, squinting his eyes and looking around at beautiful women. His attitude clearly showed that he was purely here to watch the excitement. On the other side was a group of people from the Lin Family led by Lin Shiyun. At this time, he had quite an arrogant air and was loudly mocking someone. Beside him stood a tall figure with an arrogant expression. In front of him was a Pill Furnace, and on the table next to the furnace was a bottle of fairly clear Medicinal Liquid. This was the product that had easily defeated a group of Li Family Alchemy Masters and apprentices. It was a Fourth Grade Medicinal Liquid! It could be said that this was already the limit for Alchemy Masters. To go a step further, one’s Spiritual Energy would need to reach the Entry Realm. After all, even if Xiao Licheng were here, his success rate in refining Fourth Grade Medicinal Liquid would be very low. Being able to refine Fourth Grade Medicinal Liquid showed that this young tall man had confidence, which provided support for his arrogance. “Hehe, Li Lingyan, does your Li Family not even have a decent Alchemy Master anymore?” Lin Shiyun said smugly to the furious Li Lingyan. “Why don’t you marry me? I’ll take you in as my concubine. Maybe then I’ll let your Li Family off the hook.” “In your dreams!” Li Lingyan was so angry her delicate body trembled. However, her gaze kept looking towards the door, as if expecting something.
