"Tsk tsk, such ignorance truly knows no fear!"
Sensing the Early Stage ridian Introduction Realm aura of the Comrce dicine Pavilion's steward Xue, Yun Xiao couldn't help shaking his head, thinking that the incident at the Shang Family's Righteous Hall three days ago must not have spread; otherwise, even if steward Xue were given an extra dose of courage, he wouldn't dare to speak like that.
What a joke— even the Shang Family's young master had his wrist broken, and the powerful head of the main Shang household, Shang Ying, was fiercely humiliated. Steward Xue is nothing but a dog kept by the Shang Family. With his masters suppressed, he still dares to jump out.
"Are you sure you want to make a move?"
Yun Xiao remained standing straight, facing a cultivator at the Early Stage of the ridian Introduction Realm without any pressure because he himself had also reached the Early Stage of the ridian Introduction Realm.
"Yun Xiao, I can give you a chance. As long as you apologize to him and roll out of the Comrce dicine Pavilion, maybe I can pretend that nothing happened!" As soon as steward Xue uttered these words, the onlooking rchants couldn't help but gasp.
Although these people didn't know the identity of Yun Xiao, asking him to apologize to a servant of the Comrce dicine Pavilion was downright insulting. Any person with a bit of spirit would probably refuse, right?
"Huh? Why does this sound so familiar?" Yun Xiao lifted his head, seemingly recalling those words from sowhere, and after a brief mont of thought, it beca clear. Wasn't this how Shang Ying threatened him on the day he broke Shang Huiyu's wrist in the Shang Family's Righteous Hall?
Seeing that Yun Xiao had no intention of compromising, steward Xue's last bit of patience was worn away as he coldly shouted, "Since that's the case, I'll teach you on behalf of your unknown father how to read the situation!"
As soon as steward Xue finished speaking, his rotund figure lunged forward, his hands filled with a rich ridian Qi, which shocked so of the onlookers, thinking the poorly dressed youth was probably out of luck.
What the crowd didn't see was when steward Xue ntioned "that unknown father," Yun Xiao's eyes flashed a sharp light.
Although Yun Xiao harbored resentnt towards his missing father himself, such thoughts were his own business and he would not tolerate others speaking of them—steward Xue had truly touched his bottom line.
Just as steward Xue aggressively made his move, the servant who was slapped monts ago smugly said to his companion, "With steward Xue making a move, that kid Yun Xiao will either be seriously injured or dead!"
Bang!
However, to their astonishnt, no sooner had the servant finished speaking than a figure, round as a ball, was sent flying backward. Such a large figure could not be the thin and wiry Yun Xiao; the most likely person was...
When the various servants and stewards of the Comrce dicine Pavilion thought of that possibility, the hefty figure had already slamd into the cabinet wall a few dozen feet behind, creating a loud noise.
"Pfft!"
The one who went flying turned out to be steward Xue, who had just spoken harshly. For so reason, after just one move, he was sent flying backwards, and upon landing, he couldn't hold back the blood spewing from his mouth, obviously suffering from severe internal injuries.
At this point, the crowd finally snapped back to reality. When they covertly glanced at Yun Xiao's retracting right leg, they couldn't help but breathe in a cold gasp of air.
Was this unassuming, roughly dressed young man really this ruthless? rely this single kick had probably laid steward Xue up for at least a fortnight?
The servant who had just been predicting Yun Xiao's misfortune now felt a cold shiver rush from the Yongquan point on the soles of his feet to the Baihui point at the crown of his head. He suddenly realized that the slap he had received earlier was not so unbearable after all.
What a joke— even steward Xue, in the Early Stage of the ridian Introduction Realm, had been kicked to the point of heavy injury and spitting blood by Yun Xiao. If that power were used on him, he would probably die on the spot, right?
"Is this... is this still the sa Yun Xiao from before?"
Watching the expressionless young man in rough clothes, whether they were external businessn or servants and stewards of the Comrce dicine Pavilion, none dared to even breathe out loud. Steward Xue was one of the strongest cultivators in the Comrce dicine Pavilion. If it were them, their fate would be even more tragic than steward Xue's.
"Steward Xue, now, do you still want to teach on behalf of my unknown father?"
Yun Xiao, with a smile that was not quite a smile on his face, slowly approached the counter and looked down at steward Xue, his voice tinged with a hint of irony.
"No... cough cough... I dare not. Young Master Yun Xiao, what... what are your orders?"
It must be said that steward Xue could indeed bend as well as stand tall. Perhaps it was due to dealing with businessn over the years, his skin had grown thick enough. At such a mont, he suddenly transford back into that "ti-aware" person.
"I'm asking you, has Yin Huan from Jade Pot Sect arrived?" After seriously injuring Manager Xue, Yun Xiao let out a breath, not particularly troubled by his own action, and casually asked.
"Ja... Jade Pot Sect?" Suddenly hearing the na of this huge sect, a shock went through Manager Xue, and he sohow found the strength to stand up straight, despite not knowing from where the strength ca.
But in the next mont, Manager Xue had already shaken his head, saying, "Young Master Yun Xiao, today... today there have been no honored guests from the Jade Pot Sect at the Comrce dicine Pavilion!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Yun Xiao felt slightly disappointed, but he quickly pulled himself together and said, "If that's the case, then I'll just wait for him. Prepare an Alchemy Room for !"
"An... Alchemy Room?" This ti Manager Xue was taken aback again, disregarding his severe injuries, his eyes kept scanning Yun Xiao, yet he did not respond imdiately.
"What? This vast Comrce dicine Pavilion doesn't even have one Alchemy Room?" Yun Xiao's gaze turned stern, the words he asked were naturally not his real intention; he thought Manager Xue was trying to play more tricks.
"Yes! We have them!" Intimidated by Yun Xiao's glare, Manager Xue felt as if his injuries worsened under that look, and without further delay, he repeatedly acknowledged.
"Take there, and also..." As Yun Xiao spoke, he took out a square piece of white paper from his bosom, with so fine print vaguely written on it.
"Prepare two sets of the dicine ingredients listed on this paper, and deliver them to the Alchemy Room as soon as possible!" Yun Xiao handed the piece of paper to Manager Xue's hand, without even asking if the Comrce dicine Pavilion had these items, and imdiately turned to leave.
"This... This seems to be the ingredients needed to refine ridian Rushing Pills!" Manager Xue, who had spent years stationed in the Comrce dicine Pavilion and dealt with many ridian Refining Masters, only glanced at it and was once again startled, as he faintly guessed sothing.
"Could it be that this kid, Yun Xiao, is also a Mortal Rank Middle Level ridian Refining Master?" As this thought flashed through Manager Xue's mind, it was swiftly extinguished by him; even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't believe Yun Xiao was a Mortal Rank Middle Level ridian Refining Master. There must be so misunderstanding.
"What are you dawdling for?" Just as Manager Xue was in a state of shocked indecision, Yun Xiao, who had walked a few steps ahead, saw that he hadn't followed and impatiently spoke with a deep voice.
Manager Xue dared not tarry any longer, quickly handed the piece of paper to a steward of the Comrce dicine Pavilion next to him, instructed him, and hurriedly caught up, leading Yun Xiao towards the Alchemy Room.
It must be said that the Shang Family was indeed wealthy and bold; the external appearance of the Comrce dicine Pavilion already looked quite majestic, and who would have thought that inside was another world entirely, with nurous sealed rooms standing in a row, presumably those so-called Alchemy Rooms.
The practice of alchemy is most averse to disturbance, and if interrupted during the process of refining elixirs, not only would the ingredients be ruined, but even the cultivation and Power of Soul of the ridian Refining Master could be damaged.
That's why every ridian Refining Master will choose a place undisturbed by others when refining elixirs, such as these Alchemy Rooms in the Comrce dicine Pavilion, which, aside from a door, had not even a single window, and outside the door, it was even separated with thick velvet curtains—perhaps even sounds could not penetrate, could they?
"Good, this one will do!" Coming to the front of one Alchemy Room, Yun Xiao decided on his choice, nodded, and said, "Rember, no one is to disturb before I co out!"
In Yun Xiao's view, after his forceful action just now, this Manager Xue probably wouldn't dare to play any more tricks. Moreover, refining two ridian Rushing Pills wouldn't take too much ti, so he wasn't very worried.
However, when Yun Xiao pushed the door and entered, he failed to see the resentnt in Manager Xue's eyes. One could imagine that being severely injured by a piece of trash from the Shang Family that he had always looked down upon, he was far from reconciled in his heart.
Creak!
As Yun Xiao entered the Alchemy Room and shut the door, the first thing he saw upon turning around was a pitch-black large tripod, which was not unfamiliar to him; it was the dicine Tripod needed for Alchemy.
But such a Low Rank dicine Tripod of the Hidden Dragon Continent, Yun Xiao completely disdained. Such a tripod could only be used to refine Mortal Rank elixirs, if it were to refine Spiritual Rank or even Earth Rank elixirs, it's likely the tripod would explode before the elixir could even be refined.
Once, as the Long Xiao Battle God, he had his own dedicated dicine Tripod, which was renowned through the entire Nine-layered Dragon Cloud and was the divine object countless ridian Masters dread of.
It was just a pity that with his physical demise and this place being hundreds of millions of li away from the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud of the Hidden Dragon Continent, Yun Xiao sighed in his heart, perhaps that matchless dicine Tripod of the world had already been claid by the Lord of the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud?
Thump, thump!
Just as Yun Xiao was lost in his thoughts, soone suddenly knocked on the door of the Alchemy Room, pulling him back to his senses. Upon opening the door, he saw an unfamiliar boy, holding a large wooden tray in his hands, and on top of the tray lay dozens of dicinal ingredients emitting a special aura.
Yun Xiao took over the tray, disregarding the boy's sowhat awe-filled gaze, closed the door of the Alchemy Room again, and then walked to the front of that black tripod, murmuring.
"Let's begin!"
