Chapter 1: Past and Present

Qin Chen was flying in the vast starry sky chased by his beloved uncle Qin feng and his men.

Qin feng roared: "Qin Chen stop right there. If you hand that flower over, I won't do anything to you."

Qin Chen snorted "Qin feng do you really take me for a fool. I know you will kill me and everyone related to me to keep quiet about mysterious flower once you get your hands on it, Hmph!"

Qin feng laughed "Qin Chen do you really think that I can't get that flower if you don't give it to me Hahahahahahaha"

Qin Chen said with straight face "Yes I really do"

While he was fleeing for his life he abruptly stood still because suddenly a dagger tore space and stabbed his heart.

There was a mysterious person standing at his side in a black cloak, from which only eyes can be seen, Eyes so deep a person can lose his soul if stared at it.

As his life force was dissipating, he remembered his life. Every moment in which he was ridiculed. Despite being a god emperor's son, he was born mortal without any martial spirit. But his father never said a single harsh thing to him. After so many years he finally found chaos world tree's fruit which can help him to condense a martial spirit, but now is on verge.

"Will I die without even given a chance" he thought and a tear rolled on his cheek silently.

He closed his eyes as he embraced death and vowed "father, mother, linger if there is another life, I will surely pay you for everything you have done for me"

And slowly noise began to fade and he lost sense of self, lost in darkness…

!0,000 years later

In backside of a dilatated courtyard a six-year-old boy can be seen practicing with a staff. Sweat can be seen on his forehead glistening like crystals.

"Chen'er come and eat something" A beautiful voice called out.

"Yes mom," said Qin Chen.

As he walked in the house a beautiful woman about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old can be seen placing food on the table. There was a bowl of rice, stir fried vegetables and a bowl of chicken soup

"Chen'er how many times have I told you that you have to take care of yourself and not to train like a madman." She said with some concern.

"Mom don't worry its just some practice nothing will happen and if I don't practice then how can I protect you," said Qin Chen.

"Ok now eat and go help your elder cousin in his work shop"

"Ok mom" he said while gobbling down his food like a goblin.

"Hehe eat slowly Chen'er" his mom giggled while watching her son's attics.

She was Qin Chen's mom Murong Bing. Third lady of Murong family and her martial spirit was an Ice Jade Rabbit, A beast spirit with ice element alignment.

After eating he left his house and started skipping toward his cousin's workshop.

His cousin's name was Murong Zhi a blacksmith with crystal blaze cauldron martial spirit. Qin Chen would go to his workshop at noon to help him and earn some pocket money.

As he entered the work shop he saw his cousin beating a piece of metal with hammer. He quietly walked to side and started observing it quietly.

"Chen'er you are here" as qin Chen was emersed in the process a voice asked. As he woke up from stupor, he saw a smiling Ding looking at him.

Murong Zhi was quite muscular but his height was a little lacking.

"Yes, big brother" Qin Chen replied shyly.

Hahahahaha

Murong Zhi laughed.

"Oh yes Chen'er are you prepared for going to snow eagle city tomorrow" asked Murong Zhi.

"Yes, big brother, and also, I may have to stop coming here from tomorrow because I will surely condense a powerful battle spirit and will have to attend school"

"I know, aunt Bing have already told me" Murong Zhi giggled seeing his little brother happy.

"Take this and buy something delicious to eat in snow eagle city. I heard their roasted chicken is mind blowing" Murong Zhi gave Qin Chen an envelope while reminiscing about roasted chicken.

"Thankyou big brother" Qin Chen replied.

"Now let's start work. I have refined this pig iron and you have to drop this off at Mr. Lin's shop, I think he was going to use it for a cauldron, whatever. But Chen'er you have to be careful it is very heavy and alchemist Lin's personality is a little acentric. After you have delivered pig iron go to Metal market and place an order for 50 kg Cold Iron, 20 kg hundred-year ice pith and three mystic snow crystals. Then go to Hunters lounge to get a vile of snow leopard's blood." Said Murong Zhi without stop.

"Whoa this many things" Qin Chen exclaimed.

"You know Tang family's Patriarch's daughter Tang Min she condensed a level eight martial spirit Ice python so our patriarch that old man asked me to make an appropriate alloy so that she can use it for her weapon. I am thinking about Midnight moon gold it has a cold attribute but also very beautiful to look at. That little girl is going to be on moon." Said Murong Zhi

"Uh big brother I will go now" Qin Chen left the shop hurriedly awkwardly to get rid of this chatterbox of a big brother of his.

"Oh, right don't forget to get 40 grams of moon dew powder" Murong Zhi yelled from behind as he recalled something.

Qin Chen left while pulling a cart filled with pig iron and started walking toward alchemist Lin's shop. As he got closer to alchemist Lin's shop he could hear Mr. Lin scolding his disciple.

"Lin Feng what are you doing. How many time have I told you not to use blood fire lingzhi and ice core gandorma at the same time. Now you have wasted a whole batch of blood spirit pill."

"Uncle Lin big brother sent the requested batch of pig iron where should I put it" Asked qin Chen from outside.

"Oh, little Chen you are here. Ah! Just leave it at the door I will ask someone to transfer it inside" said alchemist Lin amicably.

Qin Chen starred as Alchemist Lin's attitude took a full one-hundred-and-eighty turn.

"Little Chen come and eat some steamed buns your aunt made these come come and help yourself"

Beads of sweat can be seen on qin Chen's forehead as he reused respectfully because alchemist Lin's wife has cooking as hobby but God knows where her practice goes as not a single dish would be edible.

'Now what will I do with these steam buns' thought alchemist Lin.

Then he stared at his disciple and a sinister smile crept on his face.

"Oh, little feng I am sorry I wa just scolding for your own good, now come I will give these steam buns to you as an apology. Come and eat otherwise I will be very sad that my disciple hasn't forgiven me" said alchemist Lin as he smiled toward his disciple.

Lin feng smiled bitterly and started eating buns while unable to cry.

After delivering pig iron qin Chen got to metal market and hunters lounge to place an order for things Murong Zhu asked to.
