Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275: In the Eye of the Storm! (First Update) Finally catching the opportunity when Ye Qiu came out of seclusion, Jin Zhimo immediately ran to Ye Qiu’s side. Seeing the appearance of Jin Zhimo, Ye Qiu was obviously taken aback, not knowing what this girl was so urgently rushing for. “Ye Qiu, the promise we made back then, I have achieved it, you should fulfill your promise now,” Jin Zhimo said. “What? What promise?” Ye Qiu asked in confusion. Upon hearing this, Jin Zhimo immediately put her hands on her hips, somewhat angrily saying, “Are you trying to back out? Did you forget you said that if I reached the peak of the Mythical Realm within a year, you would teach me the Alchemy Technique? This is what you said, and even the words of a gentleman cannot be retracted once spoken. Did you really forget?” Seeing Jin Zhimo bring this matter up, Ye Qiu remembered, he had indeed said that, “Haha, what I said still stands, since you want to learn the Alchemy Technique, fine, I will teach you.” “I must state in advance, alchemy is very dull and it requires a lot of mental and physical effort,” Ye Qiu reminded. “Really?” Jin Zhimo’s eyes lit up with joy. “What I, Ye Qiu, have promised, I will not take back,” Ye Qiu laughed. If it were someone else wanting to learn the Alchemy Technique from him, Ye Qiu might not necessarily teach them, but Jin Zhimo was different. She is Jin Shanshun’s younger sister. Jin Shanshun gave up his position as the eldest son of the Jin Clan to follow the penniless me at the time and establish his own sect in the Ancient Land. This sentiment has always been remembered by Ye Qiu. After destroying the three ancient clans, Ye Qiu also wanted to repay Jin Shanshun, handing over various cultivation techniques and secrets to him for practice, even passing on some of his unique cultivation techniques to Jin Shanshun, just to warm the heart that has always followed him. Moreover, when Ye Qiu obtained the Alchemy Technique, Jin Shanshun was there to assist. So when Jin Zhimo ran into him back then, Ye Qiu made this request, thinking that compensating Jin Shanshun’s relatives would also make Jin Shanshun happier. Reaching the peak of the Mythical Realm within a year, Jin Zhimo was only at the peak of the Legendary Realm back then, a whole large realm behind, showing that Jin Zhimo’s determination was quite commendable, and her talent was not bad either. Finally being able to learn the Alchemy Technique, Jin Zhimo was very happy. Ye Qiu taught her a portion of the knowledge on identifying herbs. To engage in alchemy, one must first recognize and understand various herbs. Seeing the dense multitude of thousands of herbs, Jin Zhimo felt a little overwhelmed, but she was still very happy knowing she would soon become the second Alchemist following Ye Qiu. “Learning the Alchemy Technique will greatly affect your martial path. Whether you want to focus solely on the Alchemy Technique or aim for the peak of martial arts, you should decide for yourself, and it’s best to choose just one,” Ye Qiu said. Jin Zhimo nodded; she could feel that the Alchemy Technique was no easier than cultivating martial arts and seemed to require even more time. Having realized her long-held wish, Jin Zhimo happily went to find a place to study the herbs. Ye Qiu smiled slightly, then saw Jin Shanshun not far away. “Thank you, Young Master, for teaching my younger sister the Alchemy Technique, Shanshun is extremely grateful,” Jin Shanshun bowed and said. He has always followed Ye Qiu, and certainly understands the importance of the Alchemy Technique — it was the greatest opportunity in the Great Emperor’s tomb, and Ye Qiu actually passed it on to his sister. “Shanshun, although I want to teach her, this path is not easier than martial arts. Whether she can master it or has the talent for alchemy depends on herself,” Ye Qiu said. “In any case, Young Master’s great kindness, Shanshun will always keep in mind,” Jin Shanshun said, always keeping his head bowed. Today’s Jin Clan in the Ancient Land, due to his connection to Jin Shanshun, has risen directly from a minor ancient clan to the heights of the former three great ancient clans. Jin Shanshun understands clearly that it is because of Ye Qiu that other ancient clans regard the Jin Clan with such respect. “Alright, enough about this matter. How’s the situation over at Mount Tai, and the Martial Artist Guild? Tell me everything,” Ye Qiu changed the subject. A few days after Ye Qiu came out of seclusion, a wave of rumors directly focused on Ye Qiu. Someone spread the news, firmly saying that Ye Qiu had previously preemptively killed Seal Bearers. Googlᴇ search novel✦fire.net Upon receiving this news, many Seal Bearers were immediately displeased, as this implied that Ye Qiu previously wanted to kill them all before they came into existence. Suddenly, all attention shifted to Wangyue Peak. Everyone knows that Ye Qiu lives on Wangyue Peak. “Well, well, Ye Qiu, have you long intended to destroy us?” “He intends to oppose all of us, and now that we’ve awakened, he’s staying quiet. Is it out of fear, or is he patiently waiting for the right moment?” “Reliable sources say that this Ye Qiu indeed killed many who hadn’t yet come into the world.” Among the Seal Bearers, everyone was discussing the matter. There were likely very few Seal Bearers who had goodwill towards Ye Qiu. Many even discussed postponing the matter of climbing Mount Tai, suggesting that they should first deal with Ye Qiu, this dangerous factor. This viewpoint quickly gained support. To avoid not being Ye Qiu’s match, these Seal Bearers attempted to rally several Saint Heirs to take action together and deal with Ye Qiu, who is openly hostile to them. A flash of black light, and Caine stopped in front of Ye Qiu, reporting the Seal Bearers’ discussions to him one by one. After listening, Qin Feng, Jin Shanshun, and several others frowned. “Young Master, very few people should know about what we did.” “Besides us few, no one else knows about this,” Zi Jin Shu frowned. “Moreover, I feel someone is deliberately targeting our Young Master, putting the Young Master on the cutting edge, intending to have many Seal Bearers jointly tackle the Young Master. This is truly malicious, aiming to put one to death,” Qin Feng said slowly. “I know who else knows about this matter,” Jin Shanshun suddenly said. Immediately, everyone’s eyes turned toward him. Upon hearing Jin Shanshun mention these two words, Ye Qiu said nothing, as he too had thought of the Dragon Group. After all, he had told the Dragon Group to help find the Seal Bearers. Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng frequently worked with the Dragon Group to eliminate Seal Bearers. Thus, could it be someone from within the Dragon Group who leaked this information? Ye Qiu’s eyes flickered. It seems there is a traitor within the Dragon Group. In the largest Western-style cathedral in China, a young man stood in front of a statue, gently stroking it, surrounded by very respectful believers. After a while, the young man turned around and smiled, “The information you provided is good. With this alone, we can put Ye Qiu to death. Many from a thousand years ago are brimming with murderous intent towards him.” “It is my honor to work for Lord God. God’s light will surely shine on the whole land of China!” a figure prostrated on the ground said. Listening to this, the young man laughed heartily, “Rest assured, I will grant you the power you desire. It is what you deserve.” With that, a white light formed into a cross shape and fused into that figure’s forehead. Feeling the purifying power, this figure hurriedly bowed in thanks. The young man waved his hand, saying, “Go back to the Dragon Group. I will contact you when the critical time comes.” “Yes, my God.” The figure said, turned around, and quickly disappeared from the cathedral.
