I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 315 - 313: Qianyuan’s New Master

Li Xing was shocked, "What, what have you done?"

After the small blue seal left his body, Wang Yao’s figure faded considerably, but his spirit soared exceptionally high, "What are you yelling for? I, a dignified Immortal Monarch, would hardly harm you, right? I’ve handed you the Realm Master Seal, from now on, you are the Master of Qianyuan!"

A small blue seal floated at the center of Li Xing’s consciousness sea, inscribed with the characters "Qianyuan" in Immortal Script. Upon sensing Li Xing’s probing, a sense of kinship emanated from the seal, its body gently swaying. Vast information instantly filled Li Xing’s mind. All information within the Qianyuan Realm was under Li Xing’s control.

After half the time of an incense burning had passed, Li Xing slowly came back to her senses, glaring fiercely at Wang Yao, who was gloating on the side.

No wonder he insisted on making her the realm master; his calculations were as clear as day!

The fate of a realm master is closely tied to the world they govern. Wang Yao’s fall from the Jade Immortal Realm to his current state was directly linked to the shattering of the Qianyuan Realm and the destruction of the Jiexin Stones.

By becoming the realm master, Li Xing could freely access all resources within the Qianyuan Realm. However, if she wished to achieve immortality, she would inevitably have to find a way to strengthen the Qianyuan Realm.

As a result, she would definitely not recklessly exploit the world’s origin resources; without any external motivation, she would spare no effort to retrieve the scattered Jiexin Stones and return the Qianyuan Realm to the league of great worlds.

Even though a realm master and the world share in glory and decline together, given the current state of the Qianyuan Realm, Li Xing would likely have to invest significant cost and effort singlehandedly for many years before reaping any benefits from the Qianyuan Realm.

If her cultivation was insufficient, she might spend her life making unilateral sacrifices for the Qianyuan Realm, the ultimate hard worker.

By any means, this was a high-risk investment, but to protect her life, Li Xing could only grit her teeth and accept it.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Master Li," Wang Yao offered a halfhearted salute, but his smile was utterly genuine.

If the Qianyuan Realm were still whole, those vying for the position of realm master could stretch to the Immortal Realm, but exchanging it for a fragmented world was entirely different; no fool would wish to bear this burden.

Fortunately, Li Xing didn’t understand the intricacies here, allowing him to impose the responsibility of his lifelong efforts to her, somewhat forcibly entrusting his legacy in peril. He believed in the Taiyin Immortal Grass’s judgment and his intuition, that Li Xing could surely revive the Qianyuan Realm’s glory!

"Immortal Venerable, did you intend from the beginning to make me the realm master? Preventing me from retrieving the Jiexin Stone was also to make me accept this task willingly, wasn’t it?"

Wang Yao said nothing, but his smug expression revealed his thoughts clearly.

"So, can I retrieve the Jiexin Stone now?"

"Of course you can, please proceed, Master Li!"

Li Xing extended her hand, and a Jiexin Stone shot swiftly into her grasp. Now that she was the realm master, anything within the Qianyuan Realm obeyed her slightest thought.

Li Xing calmed her mind, and as she activated the Eternal Green Technique, the Chaos Qi contained within the Jiexin Stone flowed endlessly into her body.

The Jiexin Stone, as expected of the world’s origin, despite being the size of a pebble, its Chaos Qi density surpassed thousands of waste crystals. However, it was also more violent and untamable, and handled carelessly, it could inflict backlash on her body, necessitating cautious control.

Li Xing focused single-mindedly, plunging into her cultivation.

——————-

Chu Yunyi briefly reported Li Xing’s whereabouts to the ten Great Elders before returning to the rebuilt Chu Family to cultivate under Hui Hui’s guidance.

The Elder Council rescinded the reward for finding the Jiexin Stone and suppressed all news about Li Xing. Initially, many persistently inquired about her whereabouts, but over time, people slowly forgot the girl who had once saved the Qianyuan Continent, with only a few still awaiting her return. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

One day, Chu Yunyi suddenly awoke from meditation, his left hand’s Trisoul Bond flaring with heat, the lines climbing up his forearm, and his black hair visibly whitening from the roots. Until his full head of hair turned snowy white, the Trisoul Bond slowly reverted to its original color.

Chu Yunyi exhaled in relief, gently stroking the Trisoul Bond, murmuring, "Ah Xing, you encountered backlash again?"

Similar episodes had occurred several times over the years. Chu Yunyi’s vital essence would deplete rapidly in a short time, but within a few days, he would recover as usual, and his cultivation would advance slightly.

Chu Yunyi had no idea what was happening to Li Xing over there; all he could do was work harder on his cultivation to provide more support for Li Xing. He closed his eyes, once again immersing himself in cultivation.

Within the inversion realm.

Li Xing curled up in agony, taking quite a while before she managed to sit up again, her clothes soaked with cold sweat.

Just a moment ago, Li Xing thought she was surely going to die. At the critical moment, the Trisoul Bond injected her with endless vitality, saving her life.

Li Xing stroked the red mark on her wrist, murmuring, "Chu Yunyi, you’ve saved me once more."

From the moment she absorbed the first Jiexin Stone, Li Xing realized the dangerous nature of the Chaos Qi inside, far more perilous than any she had encountered before. To absorb safely, she had to significantly slow down her cultivation speed.

Her body continued to deteriorate at a rapid pace, and although she absorbed Chaos Qi, it was not enough to offset the deficit. At this rate, no matter how impressive Chu Yunyi’s progress, he couldn’t withstand being burdened by her bottomless pit, leading them to inevitable doom.

Fortunately, Wang Yao was there. Although his cultivation had greatly diminished, his knowledge and insights far surpassed Li Xing’s. Under her persistent cajoling, he devised a Transformation Array to temper the Chaos Qi within the Jiexin Stones.

But the array had a fatal flaw: whenever the Jiexin Stone’s energy within the array was depleted, all the repressed violent qi would retaliate with increased force. Even with Wang Yao’s protection, Li Xing suffered several painful experiences.

Nevertheless, risk often accompanies reward. Despite its danger, this method significantly accelerated her cultivation speed. Before long, her Dantian would fully heal, and she could regain her lost cultivation.

At this moment, Wang Yao’s figure appeared before Li Xing, examining the scattered Jiexin Stones on the ground with a furrowed brow.

"See, see! I warned this method was extremely dangerous. If it weren’t for the resilient vitality sustaining you, you’d be dead by now!"

Li Xing responded irritably, "I’m not dead yet, am I? Enough with the nonsense; let’s continue."

As the realm master now, even if Wang Yao was averse to it, he had no choice but to comply. Feeling a sense of entrapment of his own making, Wang Yao sighed, waved his hand, summoning another batch of stone fragments to arrange around Li Xing, channeling Chaos Qi into her body in formation.

——————————

Deep in the Star Beast Forest outside Datang City. Sunlight shone through the dense foliage, casting mottled patterns on the ground, with a Darksteel Leopard stealthily approaching a Red Musk hidden in the shadows.

Just as the Darksteel Leopard pounced at the Red Musk, the space between the two Star Beasts distorted, overwhelming them with unprecedented dread. They dashed headlong into the dense woods, fleeing in panic.

A narrow black slit slowly emerged in the distorted space, revealing a graceful figure stepping out. The air rippled, and the slit instantly closed, leaving no trace behind.

Li Xing took a deep breath, the familiar woodsy scent evoking a nostalgic smile on her face.

"I’ve finally returned."
