He didn’t know who the Myriad Pill Master ntioned by the servant was, but he figured it certainly wasn’t soone simple.
Although feeling sowhat resentful, the boy still fell silent.
He knew his status was not particularly noble.
Seeing this scene, the servant snorted arrogantly.
Then he turned and continued to look for other herbs.
Xu Zii chuckled as he watched the servant’s retreating figure.
The Myriad Pill Master, he just didn’t know if it was the person he had in mind.
......
To move from the first floor of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion to the second, one must possess a silver-grade token.
Such a token can only be obtained by spending a certain amount of spirit stones on the first floor of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
After paying five hundred spirit stones, Xu Zii followed the servant up to the second floor of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
Once inside, the servant headed to a counter with a practiced air.
He said to the attendant in front of him, "Give three Purple Heart Grasses."
"Hold on, I want all these Purple Heart Grasses," Xu Zii stepped forward and placed a hundred spirit stones on the counter.
The attendant looked at Xu Zii with a bit of difficulty.
"What are you doing?" the servant glared coldly at Xu Zii, saying, "I asked for these items first."
"What does that have to do with ?" Xu Zii said indifferently.
"You haven’t paid, so naturally, they’re not yours."
"Kid, I advise you to be sensible," the servant said dispassionately.
"I am buying these herbs for the Myriad Pill Master."
"What nonsense Myriad Pill Master, I need these Purple Heart Grasses today no matter what," Xu Zii said contemptuously.
"If you can, have that Myriad Pill Master co and speak to ."
"Kid, who do you think you are, to casually et the Myriad Pill Master?"
The servant snorted coldly and said, "You must be new here. Haven’t you heard of the Myriad Pill Master’s reputation in Dragon City?"
As they were talking, the Steward Long from downstairs ca up as well.
"What’s the matter again?" Steward Long frowned impatiently as he walked over and asked.
The attendant hurriedly went over and briefly explained the situation.
"This custor seems quite unfamiliar," Steward Long gave Xu Zii a glance and asked indifferently.
"Never mind who I am, today I’m determined to have these Purple Heart Grasses," Xu Zii replied indifferently.
"I am sorry, but we probably can’t sell you these Purple Heart Grasses," Steward Long shook his head slightly.
He said, "These are the herbs already reserved by the Myriad Pill Master."
"That’s not sothing I need to worry about. I’ll give you two options," Xu Zii said indifferently.
"Either give the Purple Heart Grasses or I’ll tear down your Myriad Treasures Pavilion."
Hearing Xu Zii’s words, the servant laughed scornfully.
Steward Long narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It has been a long ti since anyone has dared to speak to our Long Family like this.
You had better apologize now to my satisfaction, or I fear you won’t be able to leave the Myriad Treasures Pavilion today."
Xu Zii did not respond but instead looked up and chuckled lightly.
Then he lifted his foot and kicked toward Steward Long.
Spiritual energy surged around him, and only when his right foot made contact with Steward Long did the latter react instantly.
A "boom" sounded, and endless waves of energy rippled out from the point of impact.
Steward Long’s body was sent flying backward.
"You dare cause trouble in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion," Steward Long stood up and shouted angrily.
Then he crushed a jade pendant at his waist.
The space in front of him began to fluctuate, and an elder tore through the space, arriving on the scene.
The old man donned a green robe, with both temples graced by white hair.
The aura of the Emperor Pulse Realm surged around him, and a deep azure dragon was depicted on the back of his green robe.
"Pavilion Master Long," greeted Steward Long hastily upon the old man’s arrival.
"Is there a strong foe?" The old man’s gaze swept across the second floor, eventually settling on Xu Zii.
He couldn’t see through this youth.
"Soone is causing trouble," pointed out Steward Long, indicating Xu Zii.
"Who might you be?" the old man asked Xu Zii, his tone indifferent.
Xu Zii smiled and produced his Token of the Saint Heir from the True Martial Holy Sect.
At the sight of the Token, the old man’s expression changed dramatically.
He scrutinized it carefully, and after confirming its authenticity, he respectfully returned the Token to Xu Zii.
"So it is the Saint Heir of the Holy Sect who has graced us with his presence; Dragon City welcos you most warmly. If there has been any lapse in hospitality, please forgive us," the old man quickly said.
The fear left behind by the True Martial Holy Sect, it seems the Long Family has yet to forget.
When the True Martial Great Emperor founded the new era, their Long Family still adhered to old ways, serving as vassals to the Monster Beasts.
As the grand tide of the great era ca surging in, all human resistance seed pale and powerless.
In that grand tumult, the Monster Race suffered a grievous blow.
The Long Family themselves nearly faced extinction.
Barely passing down their lineage, only after so many eras of nurturing have they once again begun to flourish.
Hearing the old man’s words, both Steward Long and the young servant were struck dumbfounded.
"The Saint Heir of the True Martial Holy Sect!"
This was sothing neither had considered before.
"My eyes were blind, please forgive , Saint Heir," Steward Long hastened to apologize.
"Wrap the Purple Heart Grass for ," said Xu Zii, turning to look at the young servant.
He spoke calmly, "Can I now et the Myriad Pill Master?"
"But my master generally doesn’t see visitors," the young servant said sowhat troubled.
"It doesn’t matter if he’s willing or not; I insist on seeing him," Xu Zii replied.
The young servant fell silent for a mont, then could only helplessly nod in agreent.
...
Leaving Myriad Treasures Pavilion with the young servant, he led Xu Zii through a winding route into a hidden alley.
The Myriad Pill Master’s reputation in Dragon City was remarkable.
Everyone in the city knew a fad great pill master resided within.
But in truth, very few had ever actually seen the Myriad Pill Master.
He was a master of alchemy, and many sought his services for pill crafting.
Yet the Myriad Pill Master shunned the lilight; he seldom crafted pills, preferring instead to create new pill recipes.
After a series of twists and turns with the young servant, they finally stopped in front of a secluded courtyard deep within the alley.
Even before entering the courtyard, the fragrance of pills was already wafting out.
The scent was incredibly rich; the young servant inhaled deeply and said, "It seems the Myriad Pill Master is in a good mood today."
Upon pushing the door and entering, at the courtyard’s center,
stood over a dozen Pill Furnaces enveloped in roaring flas.
Above the Pill Furnaces, several round, lustrous pills floated in the air.
And in the midst of these Pill Furnaces stood a man in a grey robe, with unkempt hair and a dirty face.
At that mont, the man was operating all these Pill Furnaces.
One person managing over a dozen Pill Furnaces with ease, he appeared quite relaxed.
The man didn’t even notice the arrival of Xu Zii and his companion.
As if the only things in his eyes were these Pill Furnaces and the pills.
