Chapter 330: 326 World-shocking Alchemist (8) Second Update

In fact, two days ago, when the Liu Family did not send anyone to visit, the villagers had already taken this as confirmation of the news.

In the five months preceding that day, the Liu Family had sent someone monthly to check on Old Master Xu.

Back then, Old Master Xu’s condition wasn’t as dire as it is now.

People from the entire village would visit Old Master Xu from time to time, helping him clean his house, cook meals, and keep everything well-organized.

When the Liu Family didn’t come two days ago, the villagers realized Ye Shaohua must not have become an Immortal Master.

The individuals who had taken it upon themselves to help Old Master Xu also disappeared without a trace.

Daniu’s mother was Old Master Xu’s neighbor, who often benefited from his family’s kindness in the past. Her son Daniu was once bitten by a snake and was close to death, but fortunately, Old Master Xu managed to cure him with medicinal herbs at that time.

So when she found out that Ye Shaohua was not an Immortal Master, she still took diligent care of Old Master Xu.

"Old Master Xu, I’m running out of patience," the Village Chief said with a cold smile when Old Master Xu remained silent. "Hand it over now, or I’ll have to take action, and that won’t be pleasant for either of us."

Old Master Xu had come to Xiaotong Village twenty years ago.

After saving enough copper coins, he settled in the village and saved Ye Shaohua from the jaws of a wolf.

Since then, he had opened a small medicinal field which wasn’t large, but it was enough to ensure food and warmth for him and Ye Shaohua.

He sold the medicinal herbs from his field at low prices to a drugstore in Wilderness City.

The income wasn’t high.

But this medicinal field was quite rare in the village, and no one dared to covet it while Old Master Xu was healthy. After Ye Shaohua was taken away by the Liu Family, even though some villagers were tempted, nobody dared to express such thoughts.

However, a few days prior, they had sent someone to Imperial City to gather information.

In the Xuanzong Sect’s selection that occurred once every five years, five individuals from Imperial City were chosen, but Ye Shaohua’s name was not among them.

When the Liu Family also stopped sending people to see Old Master Xu, the Village Chief was certain of it.

So he brought people with him to demand Old Master Xu’s land deed.

"Old Master Xu, just agree to the Village Chief!" Seeing that the Village Chief was about to get serious, Daniu’s mother bit her lip anxiously. "If anything happens to you, how heartbroken Shaohua will be when she comes back!"

Old Master Xu opened his mouth as if to speak, but on hearing Daniu’s mother’s words, he ultimately remained silent.

After a long pause, he shakily pointed under his bed.

Daniu’s mother took a deep breath and retrieved a wooden box from under the bed. After asking for the location of the key, she opened the box and handed the paper inside to the Village Chief.

"Good, you know what’s best." Once the Village Chief verified the land deed, he turned, ready to leave.

"Old Master Xu! Old Master Xu! Auntie!" It was at this moment that a voice suddenly sounded from outside.

The voice made both Daniu’s mother and the Village Chief’s hearts skip a beat, and she hurried outside to see.

The Village Chief was puzzled as well. He folded the paper and followed Daniu’s mother outside.

"Daniu, what happened?" Seeing Daniu sweating profusely as he ran over, Daniu’s mother reached out to wipe his sweat.

Daniu didn’t dodge it but excitedly exclaimed, "Sister Shaohua is back! She was brought by a Spiritual Beast Carriage, and we saw the Bai Residence’s emblem on it. It’s from the Bai Residence; people from the Bai Residence brought Sister Shaohua back!"

The Village Chief didn’t care at first.

But hearing the latter part, his whole body was shocked.

Before he could fully process this information, the Bai Residence’s Spiritual Beast Carriage had arrived.

A white, first-rank Flame Horse was leading the carriage, which looked incredibly luxurious.

The residents of Xiaotong Village had never seen such a carriage in their lifetimes, and they all gaped at the opulent sight before them.

"Auntie," Ye Shaohua alighted from the carriage, "where’s grandfather?"

Daniu’s mother stumbled over her words, "He’s... inside."

Ye Shaohua nodded and went straight inside, accompanied by Master Murong.

Butler Bai did not enter, but faced the gathering villagers and smiled, "Miss Ye is an honored guest of our Bai Family. Our master has declared that, from today, the people of Xiaotong Village are free to enter and exit Imperial City without paying any taxes, and the road from Xiaotong Village to Imperial City will be repaired shortly."

The villagers’ faces went from shock to excitement. "Thank you, noble sir!"

"No need, this is also for Miss Ye’s convenience," Butler Bai said with a wave of his hand. "Our master and young master will be residing here frequently in the future, so we’ll be counting on your hospitality."

The Village Chief was extremely shaken, having never interacted with such individuals before, and his voice trembled.

Butler Bai didn’t linger to speak with them, taking his people to deliver gifts to Ye Shaohua and arranging for someone to repair her house.

It was quite some time after the Bai Family left before the Village Chief could catch his breath.

"Chief... those people were so intimidating, and they had a spiritual beast..." The young man who had followed the Village Chief turned pale.

The Village Chief felt sweat forming on his forehead, his hand holding the land deed damp from perspiration. "Did I... just take Old Master Xu’s land deed?"

The others, upon hearing the Village Chief’s words, stared blankly.

Then they unconsciously distanced themselves from the Village Chief.

After Ye Shaohua returned to the village, she didn’t do much; when the Bai Family offered to build her a grand house, she refused.

With no other option, Mr. Bai could only have someone make minor renovations to her room, adding a few guest rooms.

While it was still humble, it was much better than before.

Bai Ziyun came to stay in one of the rooms after seven days, taking up residence.

The Lady of the Bai Family also stayed for several days each month, bringing a few servants to improve their food and wanted to leave a few maids to help with the housekeeping, an offer Ye Shaohua declined.

Ye Shaohua built a fence around her house and planted many medicinal herbs in the yard.

Then she devoted herself to studying alchemy under Master Murong’s tutelage.

Three years later.

**

Not far from Xiaotong Village.

A man in red and another in white were desperately trying to evade a ferocious beast’s pursuit.

"Brother Mu, let’s jump off!" The man in white said, lips tightening as he looked at the cliff.

A year ago, a frightening alchemist appeared near Imperial City, rumored to have reached Dark-rank, and she was a young lady at that—an event that shook the Alchemy World, though very few knew of her identity.

Yesterday, strong fluctuations emerged in this area, indicative of the creation of superior-grade Dark-rank or even Earth-rank elixirs.

Brother Mu and the man in white were just nearby, hence they received the task to find this mysterious young lady!
