Chapter 404: Chapter 401 Wei Qianxiang

Three days had passed.

Ye Xuan sat cross-legged in the courtyard. Compared to three days ago, the True Qi within his body had become denser. After the great battle at Sky Demon Mountain, his cultivation had greatly advanced. Now, after assimilating a large amount of Spirit Crystals, Ye Xuan’s cultivation had reached the peak of Fifth Grade Martial Sect. He was only a small step away from reaching the level of a Sixth Grade Martial Sect.

Now, what Ye Xuan lacked was cultivation. As for other aspects, nearly all were his strengths. However, even the most talented individuals have limits. Currently, without using the Netherworld Demon Blood Hidden Skill, Ye Xuan’s strength was estimated to be about the same as that of a recently advanced First Grade Martial Venerate. But once he stimulated this secret technique, his strength would greatly increase, and no First Grade Martial Venerate would be his match.

"Young Master, Young Master."

Just as Ye Xuan was contemplating cultivation, the crisp and pleasant voice of Little Xi suddenly came from a distance. Ye Xuan followed the sound and saw her silhouette distinctly entering his view.

"What’s happened?"

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be surprised. Little Xi generally wouldn’t disturb him during his cultivation, but now she had come somewhat abruptly, which meant something must have happened.

"Could it be that the envoy from Snow Dragon Mountain has arrived?"

Ye Xuan’s expression grew slightly solemn.

"No, it’s the Fire Soul Pill I’ve been practicing recently. It seems like it’s about to be successfully tested."

Little Xi barely hid the excitement on her face, took a deep breath, and then spoke eagerly.

"Fire Soul Pill?"

Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed dramatically, a look of shock appearing on his face, "You mean the Fire Soul Pill that can enhance Soul Power? How is that possible, the grade of the Fire Soul Pill is nearly Supreme Grade. Even I am not very confident in it at the moment. You’re already close to success?"

This news struck Ye Xuan like a bolt from the blue, jolting him thoroughly. His Alchemy Skill had been accumulated from his past life, and it was natural for him to have his current abilities, but Little Xi, how long had she been studying alchemy? And she could already concoct a high-level pill like the Fire Soul Pill?

This was the mark of a true alchemy prodigy. Ye Xuan could only believe this explanation now.

Little Xi’s Martial Arts Realm had also reached the level of Fourth Grade Martial Sect, which was no slow progress either.

"Then congratulations, how long do you think it will take for you to successfully concoct the Fire Soul Pill?" Ye Xuan was also very happy in his heart. The Fire Soul Pill had a unique effect in enhancing Soul Power, mainly suitable for the souls in the Xuan Realm. If he could take some Fire Soul Pill, his Soul Realm would surely break through the Great Perfection of Xuan Realm and reach the Heavenly Realm.

By then, that would be a different situation altogether. If his Soul Power reached the Heavenly Realm first, then in the Chaotic Sea Domain, Ye Xuan would no longer need to be wary of anyone. With a soul in the Heavenly Realm and combat strength comparable to a First Grade Martial Venerate, even if a Second Grade Martial Venerate made a move against him, he would not be afraid.

"Currently, I have only grasped a bit of the knack. But I don’t think I will keep Young Master waiting long, at most another month, I should be able to successfully concoct it. But after that, the Fetus Pill process might take a bit longer, probably two to three months," Little Xi pondered for a moment, then said earnestly.

Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head, "No rush. Take your time with your research, forming pills requires a clear mind. Remember not to be impatient as it might instead affect your alchemy. If you need any help or have any questions, come ask me anytime."

Looking at the somewhat innocent young girl in front of him, Ye Xuan felt increasingly delighted. Initially, when he had bid for Little Xi at the black market in Sky Demon City, it truly was a worthwhile investment. Spending just a few hundred thousand Xuanyuan Pills in exchange for an alchemy prodigy — that deal was too beneficial.

Afterward, Little Xi posed several questions about Alchemy and Martial Arts. Having received Ye Xuan’s explanations, she then left the courtyard.

Not long after Little Xi had departed, an elder from the Xuanbing Mansion entered the yard to report on matters concerning the envoy from Snow Dragon Mountain.

"The real show is finally about to start."

Ye Xuan’s lips curved into a smile. Having sat around for so many days, life had indeed become somewhat monotonous. It was a good opportunity to meet the envoy from Snow Dragon Mountain and see what their intentions were.

Following the Xuanbing Mansion elder, Ye Xuan stopped his cultivation practice, exited the courtyard, and headed towards the conference hall.

...

Today, although there were many people in the conference hall, there were only two seats, and both were already occupied. The seat at the head of the table was naturally occupied by Elder Zhonghang. On his right, a white-robed young man was seated, unmistakably Wei Qianxiang, who had traveled a great distance from Snow Dragon Mountain.

Wei Qianxiang was incredibly handsome, distinguished, and looked very humble, giving off the impression of a refined gentleman, approachable and affable.

However, to a cunning old fox like Elder Zhonghang, Wei Qianxiang’s disguise was not particularly ingenious, sufficient only to deceive the average person. Although Wei Qianxiang appeared polite on the surface, the arrogance deeply ingrained in him was palpable.

"Supreme Elder, Young Master Wei, Ye Xuan has arrived."

Suddenly, a figure appeared from outside the hall, and then Ye Xuan walked through the entrance.

"Ye Xuan, you’re here. This is Young Master Wei Qianxiang from Snow Dragon Mountain."

Having Wei Qianxiang as backup, Elder Zhonghang’s attitude toward Ye Xuan had immediately cooled, even his speech carried a certain chill. Clearly, he felt he no longer needed to be wary of Ye Xuan now that he had Wei Qianxiang’s support. Hence, there was not even a seat for Ye Xuan in the hall; this was intentional.

Observing this shift in demeanor, Ye Xuan inwardly sneered. This old man could turn face quite fast. The envoy from Snow Dragon Mountain turned out to be Wei Qianxiang himself—no wonder Elder Zhonghang felt so confident. Wei Qianxiang, reputed to be second on the Battle List and eighth on the Master List, was exceptional in strength, at least in Elder Zhonghang’s view, enough to deal with him.

"Nice to meet you."

Out of basic politeness, Ye Xuan gave a slight bow.

However, Wei Qianxiang made no move to return the greeting. With an eyebrow raised, he then glanced at Ye Xuan and spoke lightly, "Ye Xuan, I’m not sure if it’s simply my ignorance, but I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve never heard of your esteemed name. I’ve heard from Elder Zhonghang that you seem to have objections to my marriage with Junior Sister Nangong—is that the case?"

As he finished speaking, Elder Zhonghang and the others all looked toward Ye Xuan, secretly delighted, wanting to see how Ye Xuan would react to Wei Qianxiang after his previous brazenness.

Granny Ning was also watching Ye Xuan with some concern; the situation was decidedly unfavorable for him.

"It’s not exactly an objection."

Ye Xuan’s expression was unreadable as he spoke unhurriedly: "I just think you’re average in strength and lacking in character, unworthy of Yaoer, that’s all."
