Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: Looking Down on Someone

The Black Python Clan’s head elder has issued an order, calling all the alchemists in Crime City to diagnose the illness of an elder from Changle Immortal Island.

At the very least, one must be an Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemist to be eligible, and as long as one qualifies, the guards will allow entry.

Of course, even for some unqualified alchemists, they won’t rudely drive them away, but rather gently persuade them to leave.

Who knows if these alchemists will become highly sought after in the future?

They can’t afford to offend them.

Ling Xiao waited at the back, waiting for scrutiny from these individuals.

Apart from the Black Python Clan’s guards, there was an elder sitting by the side drinking tea. The elder looked to be in his fifties, wearing the standard uniform of Changle Immortal Island.

The symbol of Changle Immortal Island is the Changle Flower, which is quite easy to recognize.

Ling Xiao guessed that this person might be the one sent by Fengming Piaoxue or a powerful figure from Changle Immortal Island to select alchemists.

After a long time, it was finally Ling Xiao’s turn.

A guard came up, looked at Ling Xiao’s chest, but seeing no badge, he frowned slightly.

But his attitude was still rather decent: ”Young hero, we need alchemists of Advanced Yellow Grade or higher today, are you sure you haven’t come to the wrong place?”

Ling Xiao smiled faintly, casually took out his pharmacist license, and handed it to the guard, saying: ”This is my pharmacist license, just take a look and you’ll know.”

The pharmacist license is the key proof of an alchemist’s identity.

Badges can be forged, but pharmacist licenses are almost impossible to forge. Even if one were forged, it can be identified through the Apothecary Association’s database.

”You are actually an Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemist?”

Clearly, the guard was a bit incredulous.

After all, Ling Xiao looked to be just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth. How could someone so young possibly be an Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemist?

His first thought was that the pharmacist license was fake, and this person was probably plotting something against that powerful individual.

As a result, his expression turned cold, and he handed the pharmacist license back to Ling Xiao, saying: ”Young hero, you should leave.”

”Leave? Aren’t you inviting alchemists of Advanced Yellow Grade and above?”

Ling Xiao frowned and asked the guard.

”Kid, I’m showing you respect by speaking politely, don’t push your luck. Do you really think you can infiltrate the Black Python Clan’s residence just by forging some documents?”

The guard finally revealed a slightly ferocious expression, with a strong threatening tone.

”Slap!”

A loud slap resonated outside the Black Python Clan’s residence.

Ling Xiao looked coldly at the guard in front of him and said: ”Forgery of a pharmacist license? Do you know what the consequences are of framing an alchemist, especially an Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemist?”

”What’s going on here?”

The sound of the slap alarmed the elderly man who was drinking tea, and he hurried over to inquire about the situation.

”Elder Tong, this person forged a pharmacist license, attempting to slip through the check, and when I stopped him, he resorted to violence.”

The guard proclaimed loudly.

”Slap!”

Another slap, but this time whereas the previous one struck the right cheek, this one hit the left cheek; the guard’s face swelled on both sides, which looked rather symmetrical.

”Whoosh!”

This time, the dozens of guards standing at the entrance of the Black Python Clan all rushed over, surrounding Ling Xiao completely.

”Hold on.”

The elder from Changle Immortal Island waved his hand and then looked towards Ling Xiao, saying, ”I am Tong Gang, a servant of Jackson Le Grandmaster. Are you truly an Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemist, young brother?”

”Elder Tong, my Pharmacist License is right there. Whether it’s genuine or not, you will know after checking it. Would you believe me if I just said it?”

Ling Xiao said indifferently.

”Take it for verification.”

Tong Gang was extremely cautious. Ever since the Mountain and River Martial Soul reappeared in the Mysterious World, geniuses and monsters have emerged. He did not want to offend any potentially dominant figure.

After a moment, Tong Gang’s subordinate returned and reported with utmost respect, ”Reporting to Elder Tong, this person is indeed an Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemist and has just passed the examination at the Magic City Apothecary Association in the Heavenly Dragon Continent recently.”

”Is it true?”

The assaulted guard from the Black Python Clan immediately forgot his pain and stared at Ling Xiao like an idiot.

He had not expected that Ling Xiao was actually a genuine Advanced Yellow Grade Alchemist.

”Hehe, this young hero is indeed incredibly talented. I didn’t expect that someone so young could reach such a level. I almost failed to recognize your worth. Please come in, someone will escort you to where Jackson Le Grandmaster resides.”

Tong Gang chuckled, making a welcoming gesture with his hand.

Though Tong Gang claims to be a servant of Jackson Le Grandmaster, his strength must be formidable, possibly a Realm Lord, an expert of the Cave Heaven Realm, even stronger than Mang Feng.

”Thank you.”

Ling Xiao nodded and then proceeded inside. As he passed by the beaten guard, he said indifferently, ”Be more observant in the future; don’t go looking for trouble. Life is not easy. Offending someone who should not be offended might cost you your life.”

”I understand, sir.”

Despite being beaten, the guard from the Black Python Clan felt no resentment, rather relief.

Today he was smacked, but if things had continued like this, he feared that one day he might encounter someone with a cruel disposition and lose his life.

These slaps had served both to awaken him and save him.

”Young Master.”

When Tong Gang escorted Ling Xiao through the grand gates, his form of address changed, smiling as he said, ”If Young Master can cure our Jackson Le Grandmaster’s injury, then you will become a friend of Changle Immortal Island. I cannot speak for other places, but at least in the Heavenly Dragon Continent and the Divine Phoenix Continent, our words carry considerable weight.”

”I too hope we can all become friends.”

No one likes to make enemies. Ling Xiao is the same; he desired to make friends through his own abilities, to be respected.

Not through servile agreement, but by befriending others without compromising his dignity.

Upon entering the grand gates, a beautiful maid approached to lead the way.

Tong Gang turned around and left the gates, continuing to select alchemists outside.

Following behind the maid, Ling Xiao took in the birdsong and floral scent around him.

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but admire that the Black Python Clan certainly lived up to its reputation as the First Clan of Crime City; their estate’s construction rivaled that of the Imperial Palace of the Phoenix God Empire.

It was incredibly opulent.

As he walked, Ling Xiao felt many pairs of eyes spying on him from the darkness.

And some Soul Power was even seeping out from every corner, locking onto his every move.

”Interesting, the Black Python Clan’s guards seem even more stringent than those of the Black Wind Building. No wonder the Black Python Clan can rest so easy,” Ling Xiao mused with a slight smile. Clearly, the rumors about the Black Python Clan’s fearlessness were not entirely accurate; at the very least, such vigilant guards showed that they too feared being attacked.

”Young Master, we’ve arrived. Ahead is where Jackson Le Grandmaster is recuperating,” the maid informed as they reached the front of a courtyard with fresh air and an elegant environment.

Ling Xiao nodded. In fact, he had already seen many alchemists standing within the courtyard.

The levels of these alchemists were all at least Advanced Yellow Grade, and each of them was no longer young.
