After working as a waitress on the Alchemists’ Affiliation for a number of years, Lu Yao had not solely met lots of people within the higher lessons, however had additionally skilled herself a pair of discerning eyes. She instantly gave Li Yunxiao a excessive appraisal, however was nonetheless shocked by the assistance he wanted subsequent.

“I’m on the lookout for Yang Di. Is he right here?” Yunxiao requested faintly, his eyes nonetheless wandering concerning the corridor.

“Yang…Lord Yang Di?!”

Lu Yao nearly bit her tongue. She stared on the younger man for a second. Though she felt ridiculous, Yunxiao’s indifference made her really feel that he was certainly honest.

It made her a bit confused. “You imply the previous president, Lord Yang Di?” she requested rigorously.

Yunxiao frowned barely and stated disappointingly, “Former president? So, he’s gone?”

A flash of reverence immediately rose into Lu Yao’s eyes. She put her palms in entrance of her chest, her cheeks flushed as she stated with a glance of longing, “Lord Yang Di had made a breakthrough and grow to be a fourth-tier Alchemist twenty years in the past, so he was transferred to the headquarters of the Alchemists’ Affiliation.”

“Twenty years in the past?”

Yunxiao did some counting in his thoughts. That ought to have occurred 5 years earlier than his accident, and Yang Di must be lengthy gone from right here. With out Yang Di’s assist, it will be tougher for him to open up the dried-up invisible meridians. His current physique was fifteen years outdated, and had missed the perfect time for cultivation, so he couldn’t afford to delay any longer. In any other case, even when he did catch up later, it will be unattainable for him to regain Gu Feiyang’s peak energy, not to mention take it one step additional.

His earlier life, Gu Feiyang, was revered because the genius of each the martial arts and alchemy on the Heavenly Martial Continent! He was not solely a ninth-tier sovereign-grade alchemist, one of many seven elders of the Alchemists’ Affiliation, his achievements in martial arts additionally stood on the pinnacle of the 9 Heavens Realm. Due to that, he was conferred the title of ‘Vanquisher Martial Sovereign’ by the Holy Metropolis, and ranked among the many high ten consultants within the Heavenly Martial Realm.

“I’ve a listing of herbs right here. Are you able to assist me discover them? I would like ten batches of all of the herbs.”

Yunxiao rapidly took a pen and paper and wrote down a listing of herbs. Now that Yang Di was gone, he must discover a solution to heal his inside damage. He couldn’t afford to delay practising martial arts even for a second!

Lu Yao took the record and went over it, then immediately burst into laughter. “Little sir, you may’t have made a mistake on this record, are you able to? I’ve been within the Alchemists’ Affiliation for 3 or 4 years, however have by no means heard of something you’ve written right here.”

Her phrases instantly nervous Yunxiao. He was to concoct a potion to cleanse his meridians. Contemplating that this place was solely a small department in any case and lots of supplies may not be out there, he had written down alternate supplies as a substitute of some uncommon herbs. However, he was nonetheless disillusioned.

“Lu Yao, what are you doing?”

At that very second, a person in a black gown came visiting. His gown was typical of an alchemist’s, and he had a curved badge hung over his shoulder, with a vivid, obvious blood-red mark streaked throughout its floor. Everybody who noticed him stopped and saluted him with respect on their faces. His expression was calm as he walked over leisurely. If one seemed intently, one would discover that folks’s glances had been rested on the badge on his shoulder, filled with admiration and envy. As for the person, nobody was enthusiastic about him.

Yunxiao narrowed his eyes and smiled. It was the badge of a first-tier alchemist, an emblem of standing. With this badge, the wearer can be extremely regarded wherever he went all through the Heavenly Martial Continent. The hierarchy of alchemists was the identical as that of warriors—they had been additionally divided into 9 tiers and shared the identical titles. Clearly, the person was a first-tier alchemist.

Li Yunxiao’s earlier life, Gu Feiyang, was the almighty skilled of all time who had stepped into the Sovereign Realm in each martial arts and alchemy!

Lu Yao rotated and glanced over the crimson alchemist’s badge. Then, she stated respectfully after a second of awe, “Lord Jia Rong, this little sir has made a listing and requested me to assist him gather the supplies.”

Jia Rong took the record and glanced at it. A second later, he frowned barely, then crumpled it up like a scrap of paper and threw it away. Subsequent, he stated to Lu Yao, “What nonsense is that this! Lord Liang is on the lookout for you.”

Lu Yao was startled when she heard that Liang Wenyu was on the lookout for her. Not daring to delay, she stated unexpectedly, “I’ll go now!”

She hurried away with out saying one other phrase, and immediately was relieved. ‘Even Lord Jia Rong doesn’t know these issues on the record. It appears like this child is simply playing around. It’s ridiculous that I wasted a lot time on him!’

Yunxiao’s face darkened. In his earlier life, the prescriptions he wrote had been priceless, and any one among them could possibly be offered for a excessive value. And but, it was thrown away like a scrap of paper now. He instantly stated in a cold voice, “You’re Jia Rong?”

Jia Rong paused barely, and an indignant look flashed throughout his face. ‘How dare a brat name me by my title! Even the dignitaries of the capital would name me ‘my lord’ once they see me!’

“It hasn’t been seven days because you had been promoted to a first-tier alchemist, proper?” Yunxiao held his left hand to his chest and touched the bridge of his nostril along with his proper.

‘Hmph, whose boy is that this?’ Jia Rong seemed down at him and stated proudly, “I simply acquired promoted to a first-tier alchemist 5 days in the past. That’s what everyone is aware of.”

“Are you certain you actually acquired promoted to a first-tier alchemist?” Yunxiao stated meaningfully.

Jia Rong’s physique trembled barely as a touch of shock flickered in his eyes. “What do you imply?” he requested in a deep voice.

Yunxiao glanced at his proper hand, which was out of his black gown, and commenced to clarify with a smile in his eyes.

“Your fingers have taken on a darkish grey hue and are exhibiting indicators of peeling, apparently since you’ve been uncovered to Hell Wind Stone lately. Furthermore, you emit a faint scent of Blood Flame Orchid, which I reckon you’ve used to offset the aftereffect of the stone. Though the Hell Wind Stone has a really robust fusion property, its unwanted effects can’t be ignored. It’s one thing widespread alchemists wouldn’t dare to make use of.”

“Judging from the diploma of harm to your fingers and the scent of Blood Flame Orchid, it should have occurred within the final seven days. And, you even have a faint odor, which is the distinctive scent of Tiger Sulfur Stone. That tells me you’ve been uncovered to a number of it recently. It’s clear, then, that your alchemist examination was to forge a weapon with Tiger Sulfur Stone as the primary materials.”

Jia Rong was utterly struck dumb as beads of chilly sweat trickled down his brow. All of a sudden, he burst right into a rage and shouted, “What nonsense!” When he had completed, he turned and left.

Yunxiao smiled and sighed, “Properly, if Hell Wind Stone is so helpful, then anybody might be an alchemist. In addition to, the unwanted effects of Blood Flame Orchid aren’t any much less extreme than these of the Hell Wind Stone. I’m certain you’re feeling extraordinarily uncomfortable on the acupoints close to your brow, the again of your neck, and your again at midday each day, proper?”

Jia Rong’s physique twitched as if he was electrocuted, and he may now not take one other step as if his toes had been crammed with one million tons of cement.

Yunxiao shook his head with a tragic look on his face. “What a pity for a gifted alchemist! If you wish to save your life, you’ll have to cut off your proper hand and destroy your dantian.”

“You…Cease scaremongering!” Jia Rong started to shake violently.

“Overlook it then. I used to be going to show you an answer.” Yunxiao threw up his fingers helplessly and turned to go away.

“You’ve got an answer!”

Jia Rong sprung to his toes as if he had been electrocuted, then lunged at Yunxiao and stopped him from leaving as he cried out, “Inform me now!”

In the previous few days, he had been affected by the very sort of ache Yunxiao described. That day, he had used the Hell Wind Stone, which was explicitly prohibited, in an effort to be promoted to an alchemist. However, he didn’t anticipate the unwanted effects to come back to him that evening. He started to lose feeling in his proper hand, which scared him out of his wits. He couldn’t discover a solution to remedy it even after studying by a lot of traditional texts, and solely discovered the strategy of neutralizing the toxin with the Blood Flame Orchid in an historic e-book.

However, the Blood Flame Orchid had solely barely alleviated the toxicity of the stone, and his proper hand was nonetheless progressively dropping its vitality. Worst of all, the toxin of the Blood Flame Orchid started to interrupt out; each day at midday, his three acupoints burned like fireplace, washing him with excruciating ache!

If this case continued, he was about to face the consequence of getting his dantian destroyed and all his cultivation base gone! He may nonetheless settle for the very fact of getting his dantian destroyed, as a result of that solely meant he may now not observe martial arts. Nonetheless, if his proper hand was crippled, so was his path of an alchemist! It was unacceptable to him in any case, particularly so after he was promoted to a first-tier alchemist.

He had loved the consideration of the standing, in addition to the awe and envy of others, which made him cling to his current standing of an alchemist much more!

“Please inform me how you can remedy it! I encourage you!” Jia Rong grabbed Yunxiao by the shoulder along with his left hand, shivering and nearly crying.

There have been nonetheless lots of people coming and going within the corridor, they usually all checked out them in amazement. Though they might not hear their dialog within the distance, Jia Rong’s exaggerated habits and his crying face nonetheless managed to draw many glances, inflicting the gang to take a position concerning the younger man’s id.

Yunxiao unfold his fingers and stated in a feign shock, “Hey, the place’s my record of supplies? The place’s it? Have you ever seen it?”

Jia Rong was shocked for a second and instantly turned his head to the scrap of paper he had crumpled up. After all, he understood what Yunxiao meant, so he hurriedly stated, “There it’s! Please wait a second, I’ll get it for you!”

Ignoring the startled glances, he trotted over and bent down to select up the paper. All types of astonishing remarks got here drifting into his ears. Jia Rong blushed with disgrace directly, wishing there was a gap within the floor that he may cover in.

‘Let me get the answer first, after which I’ll absolutely pay him again for this humiliation!’

He gritted his tooth with hatred and his eyes flashed with resentment. However, he nonetheless pretended to be calm on the floor. He unfolded the paper rigorously and handed it to Yunxiao.

Yunxiao took the paper carelessly and blew his nostril on it a couple of instances, then crumpled it right into a ball and threw it away. “I need ten batches of each merchandise on the record, and if you’ve gotten all of them, come to see me at Jialan Academy. My title is Li Yunxiao.”

“You!” Jia Rong felt a cramp in his abdomen and a shiver of anger as he seemed on the crumpled record on the bottom within the distance, with slimy snot on it.

Yunxiao stared at him with a sneer. “Respect will not be given by others, it’s a must to earn it your self. And, you had misplaced my respect proper from the start!”
