Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 96: Chapter 95: Embarrassing Request

”You’re an Alchemist as well?” Housekeeper Bai looked straight at Xiao Yi, asking in a deep voice.

”Correct.” Xiao Yi nodded lightly.

”What rank?” Housekeeper Bai asked earnestly.

Before Xiao Yi could answer, Murong Yin beside him said coldly, ”Housekeeper Bai, do you really believe the words of a stinking brat?”

”Ye Ming is the Chief of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect’s Medicine Hall, and we have waited for him. But as for Yi Xiao, huh, to waste more words on him is just squandering time.”

As he spoke, Murong Yin revealed an arrogant demeanor.

Although he was a fourth-grade Alchemist, his Cultivation was only at the Third-grade Mysterious Profundity.

This man had considerable ability in refining elixirs, but in terms of Martial Arts cultivation, he was only mediocre.

At least for his age, he was not outstanding.

Furthermore, he was a person of narrow-mindedness, so he was especially intolerant of other Martial Arts geniuses.

Yi Xiao’s reputation had risen recently, having even defeated Wuyou, ranked tenth on the Northern Mountain Ranking, undoubtedly a supreme genius.

But in Murong Yin’s eyes, this genius was nothing more than a stinking brat who had emerged from nowhere, with no background and no backing.

That disdainful gaze fixed on Xiao Yi, as though saying, so what if you’re a genius, without a background, without influence, before you grow up, you’re just an ant.

Xiao Yi sneered in his heart, truly worthy of being from the Northern Mountain Murong Family, all of them are despicable characters.

Fang Hee then said, ”Purple Flame Yi Xiao, right? I suggest you just shut your mouth and step aside.”

”Of course, Fang has no intention of belittling you. At least in the field of Martial Arts cultivation, when Fang was your age, he wasn’t as good as you. However, Murong Yin is a petty man. If you offend him, the trouble will be big.”

”Fang Hee, dare to say that again,” Murong Yin’s face turned cold, and a murderous intent appeared on his face.

”Both of you, let’s settle our personal grievances another day,” Ye Ming had been calmly speaking, ”Bai Family Master is waiting for us to craft the Snow Soul Pill.”

Housekeeper Bai snapped back to reality, once again asking, ”Yi Xiao, what rank of Alchemist are you?”

Xiao Yi didn’t answer but instead asked, ”The Snow Soul Pill, do you have the pill recipe?”

Housekeeper Bai nodded, saying in a stern voice, ”The pill recipe and the materials, everything is ready. We’re only waiting for someone capable of crafting the Snow Soul Pill.”

”That’s good then,” Xiao Yi smiled slightly.

”What exactly is your rank as an Alchemist?”

Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders, confidently saying, ”No worse than Murong Yin.”

”What?” Housekeeper Bai was momentarily stunned.

The other Martial Artists present were surprised, ”Not worse than Deacon Murong Yin? Doesn’t that mean Yi Xiao is also a fourth-grade Alchemist?”

The crowd then laughed again.

”What a joke, looking at Yi Xiao’s age, he’s even younger than Ye Ming, how could he possibly be a fourth-grade Alchemist?”

”It must be that Yi Xiao couldn’t stand a few words from Deacon Murong Yin and deliberately claimed to be higher in rank out of spite.”

”Yi Xiao, you might as well step aside and not waste everyone’s time. Otherwise, if you anger the esteemed Alchemists here, you won’t be able to handle the consequences.”

”If you delay the Bai Family’s business, even if you are Purple Flame Yi Xiao, you will surely die without a doubt.”

Hearing the surrounding doubts and laughter, Xiao Yi ignored it all.

Housekeeper Bai asked again, ”Yi Xiao, are you truly a fourth-grade Alchemist?”

Because it concerned the Snow Soul Pill, Housekeeper Bai had to be cautious. If there could be another fourth-grade Alchemist now, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for the Bai Family.

”It’s the same as before, no worse than Murong Yin,” Xiao Yi said lightly.

”You’re seeking death, boy,” Murong Yin suddenly flew into a rage.

In Murong Yin’s view, Yi Xiao’s repeated claims of being no worse than him were simply provocations.

”Murong Yin, put away your aura. Mere Third Layer Mysterious Profundity, you can’t kill me,” Xiao Yi said coldly.

”Hmph,” Murong Yin snorted coldly, about to make a move.

Housekeeper Bai immediately stopped him, saying, ”Deacon Murong Yin, please calm down.”

Afterwards, Housekeeper Bai turned to look at Xiao Yi, speaking sternly, ”The materials for the Snow Soul Pill are too rare, and our Bai Family cannot prepare too much in a short time.”

”If you really have the ability, that would be great. But if you’re just talking nonsense and waste the materials, don’t blame the Bai Family for being rude to you.”

”However, you are also one of the Martial Arts geniuses. If you really fail in crafting, then you will have to compensate with your life for our young miss.”

”Compensate with my life?” Xiao Yi’s gaze sharpened, and he sneered, ”Housekeeper Bai, Yi bids farewell.”

”What?” Housekeeper Bai’s face turned cold in an instant, ”Were you just playing me earlier?”

Murong Yin sneered even more, ”Hmph, bidding farewell? I told you, this stinking brat is all show and no substance, just wasting time.”

The Martial Artists present also shook their heads one after another, ”I knew it, this Yi Xiao is just causing trouble.”

”Alas, only now does he seek to leave, how is this any different from making a fool of the Bai Family? Yi Xiao is probably in for it today.”

In fact, Xiao Yi was confident, it was just that he did not like the attitude of the Bai Family people.

Xiao Yi looked straight at Housekeeper Bai and said, ”May I ask Housekeeper Bai, in refining the Snow Soul Pill, are Murong Yin and the others certain of success? Who would dare say they can definitely make it successfully?”

”If they fail, will they also stake their lives?”

”Housekeeper Bai says I’m playing you, but it would be more like you are deceiving me.”

”Since this is the case, I, Yi Xiao, shall take my leave. I believe no one would risk their lives for the mere rewards of your Bai Family.”

Having said that, Xiao Yi turned around, intending to leave. He did not like the Bai Family people’s attitude, so he did not stay any longer.

It wasn’t that he was scared of the Bai Family, but simply that he did not like them.

Genius comes with pride, and Xiao Yi was no exception.

”Hmph, does the Bai Family come and go as you please?” Housekeeper Bai roared angrily, preparing to make a move.

Just at this moment, within the Inner Hall, a middle-aged man appeared out of nowhere, his face showing displeasure.

”Why the commotion? Has Ye Ming not arrived yet?” As soon as the middle-aged man arrived, he started questioning Housekeeper Bai.

”Greetings, Family Master.” As soon as Housekeeper Bai saw the middle-aged man, he immediately saluted.

The Martial Artists present also promptly saluted.

Including Fang Hee and Murong Yin, who both bowed slightly, politely calling out, ”Bai Family Master.”

Only Ye Ming remained calm and collected, without any movement.

The middle-aged man that appeared was the Bai Family Master himself, the City Lord of Four Seasons City, a significant figure throughout Northern Mountain County, one of the Mystic Breakthrough Realm Martial Artists.

Housekeeper Bai recounted the recent events to Bai Family Master.

”Oh?” Bai Family Master nodded slightly, then said, ”Young Brother Yi Xiao, please wait. My servant has been impolite just now, I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

The Bai Family Master’s attitude was very calm, but without the slightest bit of malice.

”Does Bai Family Master believe in me, Yi Xiao’s, alchemy skills?” Xiao Yi stopped in his tracks and turned to ask.

”I don’t,” Bai Family Master shook his head without hesitation.

”However,” Bai Family Master said earnestly, ”I believe that someone who can defeat Young Master Wuyou is definitely not a fool. In other words, you are a clever person, and you would not come to toy with my Bai Family at such a critical time.”

”This proves that you have the ability.”

Bai Family Master said softly, ”Currently, we cannot get a Fifth-grade Alchemist, and time is pressing. Having an additional Fourth-grade Alchemist increases the chances of successfully refining the Snow Soul Pill.”

”Young Brother Yi Xiao, Deacon Murong Yin, Mr. Fang Hee, Young Brother Ye Ming. The four of you go ahead and refine at your will, regardless of success or failure, my Bai Family owes you our gratitude and will not hold the smallest thing against you,” Bai Family Master earnestly looked at the four.

”Bai Family Master is too kind,” the four said simultaneously.

Xiao Yi also cupped his hands in salute.

”Before refining, do the four of you have any requests? As long as it is within my Bai Family’s ability, we will surely fulfill them,” Bai Family Master said.

Ye Ming, Fang Hee, and Murong Yin shook their heads.

On the contrary, Xiao Yi stepped forward and said, ”Bai Family Master...”

Almost at the moment Xiao Yi was about to make a request, the complexions of the surrounding Martial Artists changed. They thought to themselves, Bai Family Master was just being polite in asking, yet Yi Xiao actually went ahead to make real demands.

Murong Yin even sneered in his heart, thinking the impertinent brat was really courting death.

Housekeeper Bai frowned, his face turning cold.

Bai Family Master, however, waved his hand and said, ”Whatever the request, please speak freely.”

Xiao Yi said, ”Bai Family Master, could you arrange a quiet place for me? For the pill recipe of the Snow Soul Pill, I need to study it for an hour.”

Xiao Yi noticed the expressions of the surrounding Martial Artists and realized that making requests now was not good, but he still had to bring it forth.

”Bai Family Master, I only wish to refine the Snow Soul Pill with more certainty, to avoid any accidents.”

”Haha,” Bai Family Master suddenly laughed, ”Yi Xiao, what kind of request is this?”

Bai Family Master smiled lightly and said, ”I was already planning to take you to a quiet place to study the pill recipe.”

Murong Yin let out a cold laugh, casting a glance at Xiao Yi as if looking at an idiot.

Ye Ming laughed lightly and said, ”Young Brother Yi Xiao, the Snow Soul Pill is a Peak Fourth-grade Elixir, and it’s an obscure one, hardly anyone has refined it.”

”Even I need to study the pill recipe before daring to start the alchemy. Naturally, we need to find a quiet place in advance to examine the pill recipe.”

Fang Hee also chuckled and said, ”Young man, that’s quite alright. I would need several hours to study the Snow Soul Pill before daring to say I’m confident, yet you boldly claim half an hour. The audacity of youth is truly formidable.”

”Ah, is that so?” Xiao Yi touched his nose awkwardly.
