[Episode 12]

Mom.

Could… Could Qin fail the mission?

Why isn't there news from him for so long?

Fen,

calm down.

Remember what I taught you?

Remain calm when faced with major events.

Be like your elder brother.

Possess yourself even when a mountain collapses in front of you.

I understand.

I just can't wait.

I want to see

Qin Chen's tragic ending.

Fen, rest assured.

Qin won't miss it.

To deal with Qin Chen,

Qin even hired killers from Shadow-Slay House.

With their help,

plus Qin,

even if there are ten of them,

Qin Chen will

be dead as a doornail.

Mom.

Yanzhi, go check what's happening.

Yes, Madam.

Madam!

Madam!

What are you screaming about?

Don't you know Fen needs to rest quietly?

It's…

Qin…

Is Qin back?

Go let him meet me now.

No. Qin is…

Can you talk properly or not?

What exactly happened to him?

Qin is dead!

What?

Qin is dead?

Fen!

Fen!

Yuanhong, what should we do now?

Look what you've done!

It's Qin Chen, that little pest.

It must be him!

Yuanhong, we must kill him!

Otherwise, our family will never have peace.

Qin assassinating Qin Chen

will definitely cause a great disturbance tomorrow.

Now we should consider

how to explain to His Majesty

in court tomorrow.

Also,

Qin was actually killed?

Could there be top fighters protecting Qin Chen in the dark?

Qin Yuanhong!

Qin Yuanhong!

You have to give me an explanation today!

Who could have thought!

You actually tried to kill Yuechi and Qin Chen!

Yuanzhi,

don't get agitated yet.

Sit down and have a cup of tea first.

Stop playing dumb with me!

What exactly was wrong with Qin?

Yuanzhi,

you're showing less and less respect

to me, your elder brother.

Elder brother?

Do you dare call yourself that?

Have you ever behaved like one?

You've already driven Yuechi and her son out,

and now you even want them dead?

How dare you!

How can you talk to me like this?

I didn't know

what Qin was doing.

I'll explain to His Majesty personally.

You don't have to worry about that.

Great.

You didn't know, huh?

Okay.

I won't say anything else.

If anything happens to Yuechi and Qin Chen,

I, Qin Yuanzhi, will never let this go!

By then,

don't blame me for disregarding our brotherhood.

And you, Zhao Feng.

This is our Qin family!

You don't have a say as a Zhao!

You…

Yuanhong, look at him!

How disrespectful!

Go back to your room now.

Let me think quietly.

Yuanhong!

Enough talking. Go back to your room!

King of Lingwu?

What brings you here?

If I come a bit later,

you'll turn everything upside down, won't you?

Did you actually allow Qin to kill Qin Chen

with killers from Shadow-Slay House?

Have you lost your mind?

Qin acted on his own.

I had no idea about this at all!

As the patriarch of the Qin family,

someone in your family committed such a crime,

and you didn't know?

Without your acquiescence,

how dare Qin, a little butler of the Qin family,

have the guts to do this?

Qin Yuanhong,

think about it.

If the plan miscarries because of you,

can you take responsibility?

I was being careless.

What's done is done. Talking won't get us anywhere.

Tomorrow on the court,

I'll try to defend you.

Thank you, King of Lingwu.

From now on,

I won't act so rashly again.

Don't forget what you promised me.

Yes, King of Lingwu.

[Royal Palace of the Xuan Kingdom]

Qin Yuanhong,

do you have any respect for the law of the Xuan?

A mere butler of the Qin family

dared to collude with killers from Shadow-Slay House

to kill Qin Chen?

This is outrageous!

Please calm down, Your Majesty.

Please judge wisely.

I didn't know about it until later.

I arrested Qin's family

as soon as I heard the news.

I shall investigate it most earnestly

to give you an explanation.

Qin Yuanhong,

previously on the Academy Examination,

Qin already tried to frame Qin Chen.

Now, he did not only repent

but also went one step further.

Did you secretly order him

to collude with Shadow-Slay House?

Nonsense!

Qin Chen is my family member.

How can I be so ruthless to my family?

Qin is probably sent by

Shadow-Slay House to hide in my family.

Mr. Chu, what you said is total slander!

Your Majesty,

The Qin family has always been loyal to the Xuan.

Mr. Qin Batian

has been guarding our frontiers for years.

In my opinion, this case is quite suspicious.

Please judge wisely, Your Majesty.

Please judge wisely, Your Majesty!

Please, Your Majesty!

You despicable rat…

You tried to ambush my daughter!

I'm gonna beat you to death!

Lord Kang, please let me explain!

Explain my foot!

Lord Kang!

Get out of my way!

Lord Kang, please don't get worked up.

Calm down.

Mind your manners on the court.

Stop!

This isn't what you should do in this hall!

Let's talk business.

The King of Lingnan,

what's your take on Qin Chen's case?

Your Majesty,

in my humble opinion,

whether this is related to Yuanhong or not,

we should take Qin Chen seriously,

for he's a young and promising talent.

We must get to the bottom

of this assassination.

Your Majesty, I'd like to investigate this case.

If this is really related to Marquis Qin,

I shall punish him without mercy!

You two, what do you think?

Your Majesty,

since King of Lingwu volunteered

to investigate this case personally,

I'll certainly trust him.

Fine, then.

I'll leave it

to King of Lingwu.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Chen!

Chen!

Are you okay?

I was worried sick.

I heard that last night

your house was under attack.

Where did you hear the news?

Wait… Chen, you don't know yet?

Lord Kang and Mr. Chu went to report to His Majesty

before the day broke.

They told him you were assassinated by the butler of the Qin family last night.

Now His Majesty has given the order

to let King of Lingwu solve this case!

They said if someone had colluded with Shadow-Slay House,

he'd not be tolerated.

Now it's a mess in King of Might Residence.

I didn't expect Mr. Chu and Lord Kang

to make such a fuss.

It's good, though. Let the Qin family be messy for a while.

Lin Tian,

why has your cultivation improved again?

Thanks to the cultivation method you gave me.

Now I've become

the pride of the Xuan, so to speak.

But things don't look quite right.

It's nothing. Come with me.

Mr. Qin, what brings you here?

My friend and I would like a bloodline chamber.

May I trouble you with that?

You're most welcome.

How could such a little thing be trouble?

This way, please.

[Why are people at Bloodline Holy Land]

[so welcoming to Chen?]

What's on your mind?

Mr. President has specially told me that

this bloodline chamber is all yours.

No reservation is needed.

If there's nothing else you need,

I will leave first.

Okay.

Lin Tian.

Bloodline Stone?

Chen, what are you up to?

I've already awakened my bloodline.

Let me help you awaken it again.

Hold the stone and do as I say.

Activate your bloodline to its full later.

Come on down.

It's actually Nether Fire.

And the form is actually Dark Moon Grey Clouds.

No wonder you progressed so fast

after I gave you the formula.

The form of Dark Moon Grey Clouds plus Nether Fire,

what a classic match!

Chen,

what I have is the Fire Bloodline.

What Nether Fire? What moon and cloud?

I don't understand.

Your Fire Bloodline is just a mortal one.

What you really have is Dark Moon Nether Fire.

It's a rare bloodline.

Regular Bloodline Masters won't recognize it.

Dark Moon Nether Fire?

Chen, stop pulling my leg.

Chen really has a keen eye.

Little friend, yours is indeed

the rare Dark Moon Nether Fire bloodline.

Chen,

this is?

This is President Dongfang Qing.

Do you believe me now?

Besides,

I dare not joke about your future.

Chen,

I heard that you won the championship

in the Academy Examination.

I'm here to congratulate you.

Thanks, Mr. President.

You must be Chen's friend.

Having such a rare bloodline,

I presume you must be

going to Bloodmist Holy Land with him?

Mr. President, you flatter me.

How can I be compared with Chen?

I didn't even make it into the top ten.

How can I be qualified to go there…

[Chen brought him here to detect his bloodline.]

[He must be important to Chen.]

[If I can help him get a chance]

[to enter Bloodmist Holy Land,]

[I'll have done Chen a favor of some sort.]

How could it be?

Even if you didn't make it into the top ten,

with such a rare bloodline,

you should be treated as an exception.

As the president of Bloodline Holy Land,

I will explain this to His Majesty

to try to get him a chance

to enter Bloodmist Holy Land.

Chen, am I not dreaming?

I appreciate your help, Mr. President.

If you could

really help Lin Tian get this chance,

I shall be duty-bound to help

Bloodline Holy Land when needed.

Please don't mention it.

I will try my best.

I'll take my leave first.

I'm heading for the royal palace

to ask His Majesty to decide this soon.

Please continue. No need to walk me out.

If President Dongfang Qing

can really get you on that list,

it'll be of great help to you.

But before that, you must cultivate

a method that fits your bloodline properties.

If you just cultivate common methods,

you're wasting your gift.

And you'll end up like everyone.

But where do I find

a method that fits my bloodline?

I have thirteen Heaven level methods.

You can pick one.

Chen, you're not having a fever.

Or have you gone insane after cultivating too hard?

There's not a single Heaven level method even in the royal palace.

And you have them on you?

Ghost Emperor's Mantra?

No, this one is too evil.

Nether King's Scroll?

Too much damage to the meridians.

I got it.

Scripture of Heavenly Shadows.

This method fits Lin Tian's body perfectly.

Yes.

Lin Tian,

Now I'm going to pass Scripture of Heavenly Shadows to you.

It's a well-known one

among all Heaven level methods.

And it's one of the strongest

among all Nether methods.

This method has a total of nine stages.

With your gift, advancing to

the first six stages won't be a problem.

But as for reaching the ninth stage,

it'll depend on your luck.

It's really a Heaven level method.

Chen,

I'll keep in mind what you helped me with.

Alright, save it.

Cultivate hard when you go home.

Sure.

Well then… Thank you.

It's this hour.

I gotta head back to Star Academy.

The examination was over.

Why do you still go back there?

Wait, Chen,

have you forgotten?

Today is the test for Alchemists.

Test for Alchemists?

Yeah.

I almost forgot.

You're not interested in being an Alchemist.

Here's the thing.

The Dan Pavilion has promised Star Academy that

all alchemy apprentices

are allowed to take part in the Dan Pavilion's test for Alchemists.

There's only one chance every year.

I see.

I've taken the test twice.

Now I'm about to graduate,

but I'm still a senior alchemy apprentice.

If only I could be an Alchemist.

This way, I'll have the chance to befriend senior management of Dan Pavilion,

which definitely helps a lot

with my family's crude drugs business.

[Alchemist?]

[Now, my cultivation has hit a bottleneck.]

[I need a lot of Dan medicine.]

[Things will be easier if I'm an Alchemist.]

[I can even cooperate with Dan Pavilion.]

It's getting late. I gotta go.

Chen?

Chen!

I said I'm going.

I'll go with you.

Really, Chen?

Although you're the champion of the examination,

alchemy and cultivation are apples and oranges.

Not to mention…

You failed your alchemy classes.

How can you pass the test?

What's so hard about it?

Alright, let's move.

Or we're gonna miss it.

Qin Chen.

Here you are.

What's this guy doing in here?

Are you here for the test for Alchemists?

Thanks.

Boss,

Qin Chen doesn't even have an apprentice token.

Why is he coming for the test?

This guy…

What's he up to?

How can I help?

We're here for the test for Alchemists.

Give me your apprentice token.

Yours?

I don't have one.

If you don't have it,

why are you here for the test anyway?

He doesn't have an apprentice token?

Go away.

Coming for the test without a token?

Who do you think you are?

Qin Chen,

this test is a serious matter.

You'd better follow the rules.

Who said we couldn't take part in this test

without an apprentice token?

Isn't that obvious?

According to the rules of Dan Tower in the Martial Domain,

anyone can take part in the test for alchemists.

The system of alchemy apprentices

is just the rules of local Dan Pavilions.

The Dan Tower never admitted it.

What, can you represent

the highest Dan Tower on the continent?

Not bad. You even know Dan Tower.

But that's all irrelevant.

Nothing works here but tokens.

Leave now.

Or I'll call for security to get you out.

-What the hell? -You…

What's going on?

Mr. Chen Mu.

[Chen Mu, Grade One Alchemist of Dan Pavilion]

Grade One Alchemist?

We're about to have the test inside.

Why are you making so much noise outside?

Mr. Chen Mu,

this guy doesn't have an apprentice token,

but he insists on taking part in the test.

He's just causing trouble for us, right?

Young man,

learn to walk before you run.

Before the test,

you have to be an alchemy apprentice first.

As per the rules of Dan Tower,

anyone is qualified to be an Alchemist.

You're a Grade One Alchemist.

Don't you know the rules of Dan Tower?

Shut up!

How dare you talk to Mr. Chen Mu like this?

Mr. Chen Mu, don't worry.

I'll kick him out right now.

Hold on.

Dan Tower does have this rule.

But Dan Tower also said that

nobody must disgrace the Alchemist profession.

It's fine if you're not an alchemy apprentice.

But if you can't even pass the first round,

it'll be a serious violation.

Are you sure you wanna take it?

Of course.

Alright.

Manager Wang,

sign him in.

[Certificate of Alchemist]

Take it.

This is your identity.

Go through there.

Boss,

why would Mr. Chen Mu agree

to let him take the test?

How would I know?

He's asking for trouble for himself.

He'll definitely come out

like a clown very soon.

Chen,

that guy is called Wang An.

He's been taking this test for decades. Never quits.

He's sort of a celebrity

in our academy.

Someone

as persistent as this

can't be ordinary.

Qin Chen, are you sure about this?

You're not even a senior apprentice yet.

Are you here to amuse us?

Everyone,

we're all here for the test.

There's no need to talk like enemies.

Stinky old man, mind your own business!

Chen,

just ignore them.

Stinky old man, let me shut your mouth.

Quiet, all of you.

There will be three rounds for this test.

Round one is a written examination.

Round two is a random test of one of the ten

alchemy operations.

Round three is the real test for Alchemists.

Round one begins now.

Please list the 13 basic methods of extracting medicine

and their advantages and disadvantages.

The growth habit and drug properties of Pora Leaves.

What's its function

during the alchemy process?

And write down three Dan medicines

that need Pora Leaves.

Please describe the role of Firestone ore in alchemy.

Mr. Chen,

the questions in this test is very difficult.

Guess a lot of these apprentices

will go home in disappointment.

Count them unlucky.

These questions were set by Master Liu Guang.

I wonder how many of them

can pass the written examination.

Master Liu Guang is the strictest one

among the Dan Pavilion deacons.

I've glanced through the paper.

[Ouyang Cheng, Grade One Alchemist of Dan Pavilion] His questions are extremely tricky.

Even if it's us two,

we'll fall into the traps if not careful.

Let alone these new apprentices.

Let's see if they're lucky or not.

Mr. Chen,

isn't that the kid you just criticized?

That's him.

Look what he's doing!

He's doodling on the paper!

I should drive him out and punish him severely.

I think otherwise.

Even though he writes fast,

he won't doodle to make trouble, will he?

These questions were set by Master Liu Guang.

He's not even an apprentice yet.

How can he answer so fast?

That makes sense.

But according to the rules of Dan Pavilion,

we can't deprive him of his qualification.

Otherwise, I'd have driven him out long ago.

I can't even think of one word.

Why has Qin Chen

been writing this whole time?

Qin Chen never took an alchemy class.

What does he know?

He's probably just doodling.

This is so simple.

Only two questions left.

If you are a Grade One Alchemist

and also a top Earth level martial artist.

[You're looking for crude drugs in the Mount of Demonic Ancestors.]

[Suddenly, you smell a scent coming from ahead,]

[which gives you the most wonderful sensation.]

[You raise your head and find that a hundred meters ahead,]

[in a bush,]

[grows a century-old Dragon Incense.]

[And according to your senses,]

[there isn't one single demonic beast within a few miles.]

[What should you do?]

The next question seems more fun.

You are a Grade One Alchemist.

[When you are training in the Mount of Demonic Ancestors,]

[your arm was hurt by a white-blade spider.]

[Its toxin has quickly made your arm numb.]

[And it's spreading extremely fast]

[to your heart.]

[But now you don't have the antidote on you.]

[The nearest city is a thousand miles away.]

[What should you do?]

This is truly interesting.
