Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136: Medicine Venerate Hall Deacon

”I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t linger long at the Medicine Life Pavilion.”

Xiao Yi cupped his hands and took his leave.

”Very well.” The Medicine Life City Lord nodded and with a wave of his hand said, ”Someone, bring the rewards for this alchemy competition.”

”Yes.” The Medicine Housekeeper retreated and shortly returned with a Universe Ring.

The Medicine Life City Lord handed the Universe Ring to Xiao Yi, smiling, ”Yi Xiao, this is your reward.”

Xiao Yi nodded and accepted the Universe Ring.

Xiao Yi was not the least bit courteous.

After all, he had refined two Elixir Elixirs for the Medicine Life City Lord, one Holy-grade Middle Stage, the other Holy-grade Peak.

If someone were to find another Holy-grade Alchemist to refine them, the cost wouldn’t be small.

”Farewell.” Xiao Yi cupped his hands, waved his hand, collected Yu Tai’s corpse, and turned away.

”Xiao Yi.” The Medicine Life City Lord smiled and said, ”If there’s an opportunity in the future, you’re welcome to reside in my Medicine Life City.”

”We at the Medicine Life Pavilion will surely welcome you warmly with open arms.”

In the City Lord’s view, if the Medicine Venerate Hall’s warrant for Yu Tai was false, then it was Yi Xiao’s own burden to bear.

And if that warrant was true, then this was a good way to forge a connection with an outstanding genius alchemist.

A win-win situation, so why not?

Xiao Yi left quickly without saying more, his cold aura causing martial artists along the way to step aside.

Inside the Medicine Life Pavilion, the gazes of the alchemists and martial artists were all fixed on this cold silhouette.

They absolutely did not expect such events to occur today.

First, an unknown young man suddenly appeared, winning the Medicine Life Pavilion’s alchemy competition in one fell swoop.

Then, he publicly killed the renowned Sub Hall Master of the Medicine Venerate Hall, Yu Tai.

Everyone found it hard to accept.

But they were very clear that from today on, the name Yi Xiao would spread throughout Medicine Life City and even the surrounding major cities.

...

Leaving the Medicine Life Pavilion, Xiao Yi headed towards the Medicine Venerate Hall Branch.

He specifically came to Medicine Life City for the task.

His objective in the Four-direction Domain was to gain experience, and the numerous tasks he accepted from the academy were also part of this training.

He didn’t come to Medicine Life City for leisure.

Capturing Yu Tai was one of those tasks.

Five months ago, Yu Tai killed the Medicine Venerate Hall’s Law Enforcement Team, seized a King-grade Elixir, and then destroyed the evidence, which was indeed true.

However, this wanted task didn’t spread to the Medicine Venerate Hall Branch near Medicine Life City, nor was it widely publicized.

Yu Tai was not weak; unless the Main Hall dispatched a powerful expert or strong direct representatives from some branches to act, he could not be captured.

Ordinary martial artists couldn’t do anything against Yu Tai.

The Medicine Venerate Hall Branches in Medicine Life City and nearby major cities, the persons in charge, held titles no more than Chief Stewards, at best with strength at the Saint Realm Peak, and were simply unable to capture Yu Tai.

Therefore, this Main Hall’s wanted task was not published here.

Meanwhile, the Main Hall of the Four-direction Domain’s Medicine Venerate Hall could not dispatch personnel for the time being.

Although the Ancient Eight Halls have branches spread across the Central Region, facing the vast number of martial artists in various halls, the Law Enforcement Team of each branch and the martial artists in each hall are extremely burdened with tasks.

This is also why many tasks are handed to Black Cloud Academy.

As for why Xiao Yi specifically went to the Medicine Venerate Hall Branch, he first joined the Medicine Venerate Hall and became a Medicine Envoy.

The reason was that his current identity was Yi Xiao.

Yi Xiao, merely a Demon Hunter Hall martial artist, had no authority over the tasks of the Medicine Venerate Hall.

So he first joined the Medicine Venerate Hall to execute Medicine Venerate Hall tasks.

However, this time he killed Yu Tai under the name Yi Xiao.

Therefore, the academy’s task could not be completed.

He would not receive any Academic Task Points either.

But after handing over this task to the Medicine Venerate Hall, he could gain a lot of Task Points with Yi Xiao’s identity.

”Oh well.” Xiao Yi shook his head.

”After all, training is the main focus, and the academy tasks are just one of the ways.”

With such self-talk, Xiao Yi returned to the Medicine Venerate Hall in no time.

Upon returning to the Medicine Venerate Hall, he happened to encounter the middle-aged Chief Steward.

”Eh? Kid, haven’t you just left recently, why are you back, did you encounter any trouble?” The middle-aged man asked.

”No.” Xiao Yi shook his head, ”May we speak in the back hall?”

This was the front hall, with several other martial artists from the Medicine Venerate Hall present.

”Okay.” The middle-aged man thought for a moment and nodded.

In the back hall, Xiao Yi waved his hand, and a corpse was thrown out from the Universe Ring—it was Yu Tai’s corpse.

”Hmm?” The middle-aged man was slightly puzzled, but when he clearly saw the face of the corpse, his expression changed dramatically.

”Isn’t this Master Yu Tai? Oh heavens, he is a Sub Hall Master and a valued guest at the Medicine Life City Lord’s Mansion, how did he die?”

”Who killed him?”

The middle-aged man stared closely at Xiao Yi.

”I did.” Xiao Yi replied indifferently.

”You?” The middle-aged man was shocked, speaking in a deep voice, ”Yi Xiao, are you toying with me?”

”Do you think I’m joking?” Xiao Yi said calmly.

”Yu Tai is a wanted criminal by the Main Hall.”

”Master Yu Tai is a wanted criminal?” The middle-aged man widened his eyes, ”Yi Xiao, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Xiao Yi shook his head, ”Chief Steward, I really have no interest in explaining further, nor do I care to.”

”This is a Main Hall wanted task, which I have completed.”

”I came to you to report this matter.”

”If you don’t believe me, you can send a communication to the Main Hall and you’ll know for sure.”

The Ancient Eight Halls and all branches have Communication Sub-Saint Artifacts among them.

”Fine.” The middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed, ”Yi Xiao, if I find out you’re lying, don’t blame me for not being courteous to you.”

Xiao Yi fell silent, waiting to himself.

In fact, the middle-aged man didn’t even consider that if Yi Xiao could kill Yu Tai, what ability does he have to be discourteous to Yi Xiao?

The middle-aged man left quickly, making a mysterious gesture as he did.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi chuckled.

If he guessed correctly, that gesture was a command gesture used within the Medicine Venerate Hall.

Although he had just joined the Medicine Venerate Hall and was not familiar with these commands.

However, he clearly sensed more than a dozen hidden presences locking onto him, all strong individuals within the Medicine Venerate Hall.

Xiao Yi waited on the spot for two hours.

Two hours later, the middle-aged man returned, his expression a complex array of colors, indescribably strange.

”It turned out to be true.” The middle-aged man pursed his lips, ”Yi Xiao, the Main Hall has sent back communication, and Yu Tai’s warrant is indeed genuine.”

”This task exists within the Main Hall, and since you’ve killed Yu Tai, you’ll automatically receive the reward for this task.”

”The reward, I will temporarily allocate it here at the branch and grant it to you.”

”Regarding Task Points, do you want them recorded down, or directly exchange for a title?”

”Is there enough achievement?” Xiao Yi asked.

”Just enough, can exchange for a Deacon title.” The middle-aged man replied.

”Then exchange it.” Xiao Yi nodded.

”Alright.” The middle-aged man said, ”Then there’s no need to record the Task Points. I’ll have someone handle the promotion procedures for you as a Deacon later.”

”Thank you.” Xiao Yi thanked him.

The second update.
