Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 99 - 98: Two Snow Soul Pills

"Could it be... could it be..."

The Bai Family Master watched Xiao Yi’s alchemy furnace with a face full of hope, his eyes burning intensely.

Xiao Yi offered a faint smile and waved his hand gently; the purple flame within the furnace instantly dissipated.

Afterwards, a strong cold aura enveloped the whole venue, causing those with weaker cultivation to involuntarily shiver.

"Such a strong ice attribute aura. Could it be... the Snow Soul Pill was successfully refined?" Ye Ming, Fang Hee, and Murong Yin also stared fixedly at Xiao Yi’s alchemy furnace. freēwēbnovel.com

"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled softly, looked at the Bai Family Master, and said, "I have honored your commission; the Snow Soul Pill is complete."

"Has it really been successful?" The Bai Family Master’s face was unable to hide his delight.

Xiao Yi waved his hand again, and two snow-white, perfectly round and translucent elixirs flew out of the furnace.

"It really is the Snow Soul Pill." Ye Ming and the others were first startled, then exclaimed, "How come there are two?"

"Two Snow Soul Pills?" The Bai Family Master was also taken aback.

Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and said to the Bai Family Master, "I don’t know how severe your daughter’s backlash situation is. If the backlash is too severe, one Snow Soul Pill might not be enough, and that would be troublesome."

"So, Yi Xiao simply refined two pills to ensure the safety of the Bai Family Master’s daughter."

"Of course, I used two sets of materials."

Xiao Yi smiled teasingly and quipped, "What? Seeing the Bai Family Master’s surprised expression, could it be that you, like others, thought that Yi Xiao was being willful and wasting materials?"

A flash of embarrassment crossed the Bai Family Master’s face as he chuckled awkwardly, "Of course not. I naturally trust young brother Yi Xiao. A prodigious talent among men, wise beyond his years—how could you engage in such pettiness?"

"I see." Xiao Yi smiled and said, "I thought so as well. What kind of person is the Bai Family Master? How could you misunderstand me?"

"That’s right." The Bai Family Master laughed heartily.

Xiao Yi handed the two Snow Soul Pills to the Bai Family Master and said, "You better take the elixirs and go save the lady."

"If two pills are not enough, with the Bai Family Master’s capabilities, since you managed to gather eight sets of ingredients in such short time, finding a few more sets should also be no difficult task."

"Yi Xiao would be happy to start another furnace for the Bai Family Master."

The Bai Family Master bowed respectfully and said, "In that case, I am grateful to young brother Yi Xiao."

After speaking, the Bai Family Master took the two Snow Soul Pills and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

The Bai Family Master had left, but the faces of the martial artists present all changed.

Their eyes, filled with astonishment, were directed at Xiao Yi.

"Good heavens, Yi Xiao actually really managed to refine it."

"The Snow Soul Pill, even a fifth-grade alchemist wouldn’t dare claim they could succeed on the first attempt. Yet he went and made two!"

"Doesn’t this mean that Yi Xiao’s alchemy skills are even stronger than those of Ye Ming and the others?"

"Did you see? Even the Bai Family Master was so polite to him."

"Of course, Bai Bingxue is the jewel of the Bai Family Master. Now that she’s saved, the Bai Family Master will certainly repay him handsomely."

The martial artists present discussed spiritedly, seeing Xiao Yi now as not only a martial arts genius who had defeated Young Master Wuyou, but also as the leading young alchemist.

A martial arts genius and a genius alchemist, either title was astounding.

When both titles gathered on one person, it was no longer just about being a genius, but rather a monster.

Ye Ming and the others, hearing the martial artists’ conversation, shook their heads helplessly, but only laughed lightly.

Only Murong Yin’s face was full of discontent.

At that moment, Murong Sha approached and whispered, "Deacon Murong Yin, the one who refined the Snow Soul Pill is Yi Xiao. It seems that what we asked of the Bai Family Head is unlikely to happen now."

"Damned," Murong Yin coldly stared at Xiao Yi, his eyes full of lethal intent.

"That detestable kid, ruining my big plan."

In fact, Xiao Yi hadn’t ruined his plan; he was simply less skilled.

Even if Xiao Yi had not succeeded this time, he would have failed just the same.

But Xiao Yi’s success birthed jealousy in him, and he shifted all blame onto Xiao Yi.

"That Yi Xiao, why do I feel like he looks somewhat familiar..."

Murong Xuan and Murong Qianjun suddenly stared puzzledly at Xiao Yi, murmuring to themselves.

"Oh?" Murong Sha asked, "What, do you know that Yi Xiao?"

Both nodded simultaneously, saying, "He’s wearing a mask, so we can’t be sure, but he looks somewhat like a worthless kid we once knew."

"A worthless kid?" Murong Sha and Murong Yin both paused.

Just as they were about to say something, suddenly, a chilling aura enveloped them.

Housekeeper Bai appeared out of nowhere beside them and asked coldly, "Are you saying that young brother Yi Xiao, who saved the Bai Family’s precious daughter, is a worthless person?"

"Ah?" The four Murongs were shocked and quickly said, "Housekeeper Bai misunderstood; we were just chatting idly."

"Hmph." Housekeeper Bai snorted coldly.

Nearby, several martial artists who had heard the conversation of the four Murongs immediately displayed mocking smiles.

"Deacon Murong Yin, that Yi Xiao, a supreme genius in your words, is a worthless person?"

"Heh, I really don’t know what high standards the Murong Family sets for judging others’ talents."

"But if Yi Xiao is worthless, then what does that make Deacon Murong Yin, who could not even refine a Snow Soul Pill?"

Many of the martial artists who had come to the Bai Family were well-known in the Mysterious Profundity Realm, naturally fearless of Murong Yin and his companions, nor inclined to show them any courtesy.

Martial artists pursue the path of martial arts, mostly acting as per their natural inclinations, speaking their minds without reservation.

"You all...." Murong Yin’s face immediately darkened, yet he could not erupt in anger.

At this moment, Murong Xuan and Murong Qianjun wanted to say more, when Murong Sha quickly scolded, "Shut up, isn’t it embarrassing enough?"

After a while, Bai Family Master returned, his face relaxed and smiling, suggesting that the two Snow Soul Pills had taken effect.

Bai Family Master walked straight to Xiao Yi, and then seriously clasped his hands, saying, "Yi Xiao, my little girl’s backlash has been neutralized, and she is now unharmed."

"Congratulations, Bai Family Master," Xiao Yi replied with a light smile.

"Congratulations, Bai Family Master, felicitations to you."

The martial artists present all paid their respects.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Bai Family Master spoke loudly, "today, aside from the superb alchemy technique of Yi Xiao, my little girl’s recovery also owes much to everyone’s strong support."

"Today, please do me the honor of staying at the Bai family for a banquet."

Being the City Lord of Four Seasons City and the head of the Bai Family, he was excellent at interacting with various forces.

Thus, he had a very good reputation, and many martial artists had come on this occasion.

"It’s our pleasure, Bai Family Master," the martial artists replied with a smile.

At that moment, the atmosphere was very good.

"Yi Xiao, have a few more drinks with me today," Bai Family Master said amicably to Xiao Yi.

The martial artists present showed envious expressions, as drinking with the Bai Family Master was considered a great honor.

However, Xiao Yi shook his head, saying, "Thank you, Bai Family Master, but I have urgent matters to attend to and I’m afraid I won’t be able to join the banquet."

"Oh? What is so urgent, may I be of help?" Bai Family Master asked.

"It’s a minor issue, don’t trouble yourself, Bai Family Master, I can handle it myself," Xiao Yi responded nonchalantly.

Seeing that Xiao Yi really did not want to stay, Bai Family Master did not insist, saying, "Yi Xiao, you’ve successfully refined the Snow Soul Pill and saved my little girl. As I promised you earlier, I owe you a favor."

"Rest assured, if there’s anything my Bai family can do, we will not refuse."

Bai Family Master earnestly assured.

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, asking, "Family Master Bai, do you perhaps have the Six Treasure Exquisite Ginseng?"

"Six Treasure Exquisite Ginseng?" Bai Family Master wrinkled his brows.

Some gossiping martial artists who heard this were also shocked, "Six Treasure Exquisite Ginseng?"

"That is a peak fourth-grade medicinal material, capable of instantly enhancing a martial artist’s cultivation realm, even Mysterious Profundity Warriors have long sought after such a dream."

"Unfortunately, it is one of the rarest heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and it hasn’t appeared in the Four Seasons City for many years."

The nosy martial artists’ eyes lit up as they heard those words.

With a grave voice, Bai Family Master said, "Yi Xiao, you must know how rare this item is. It’s not that I’m stingy; even my Bai family does not have it."

Xiao Yi appeared slightly disappointed, but he had expected as much.

The Six Treasure Exquisite Ginseng was to fourth-grade heavenly materials what the Demon Blood Flame Heart Fruit was to third-grade; extremely rare, a matter of chance rather than seeking.

Even the Bai family did not have it.

Bai Family Master continued, "How about this? I will mobilize the influence of the Bai family to search for you as much as we can. If found, I will inform you immediately."

"Thank you, Bai Family Master," Xiao Yi nodded.

"However, once I find it, how shall I contact you?" Bai Family Master asked.

"Simple," Xiao Yi smiled, "Just send a message through the Demon Hunting Hall with a few hundred taels, and I will immediately come to the Bai family."

"Good," Bai Family Master nodded. "Tomorrow, I will send people to inquire and search, and I will inform you immediately once there’s news."

"Thank you," Xiao Yi said in thanks, then he departed.

However, just a few steps away, he remembered something, turned around, and said, "Family Master Bai, could you do me a small favor?"

"Just say it," Bai Family Master said.

Xiao Yi spoke, "I have urgent business, so I won’t go to Hundred Martial City to complete tasks. Could you send someone to complete the task for me?"

As long as the task publisher announces the completion, people from the Demon Hunting Hall will automatically record the task points for the completing Demon Hunter.

"Hehe, it’s just a trifle," Bai Family Master chuckled.

"With that, I will take my leave," Xiao Yi said, then turned and quickly left the Bai family.

At that time, on another side, Murong Yin who had been scowling since Xiao Yi left, now put on a smile and walked up to Bai Family Master.

"Family Master Bai," Murong Yin performed a courtesy, saying, "I wonder about the matter you promised me earlier..."

Bai Family Master waved his hand and chuckled, "Deacon Murong Yin, you’re referring to the matter of the Hundred Martial City Treasure Trading Company setting up a branch in the Four Seasons City, aren’t you?"

Bai Family Master continued, "Although Deacon Murong Yin did not successfully refine the Snow Soul Pill, as a courtesy, this matter will be..."

Bai Family Master was about to agree, when suddenly Housekeeper Bai came up and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Oh? Is that so?" Bai Family Master immediately frowned and said, "Deacon Murong Yin, in your eyes, Yi Xiao, this incredible genius, is such a useless person?"

"Hehe, it seems my Bai family is also nothing in your eyes. Regarding the matter of opening a branch in the Four Seasons City, let’s just drop it."

Bai Family Master waved his sleeve in anger, ignoring Murong Yin, and walked away.

Clearly, Housekeeper Bai had brought up the previous issue about Murong Yin and the others calling Xiao Yi useless.

Now that Bai Family Master owed Xiao Yi a favor, he was naturally disgusted with Murong Yin and their derogatory remarks.

"Family Master Bai, that was a misunderstanding," Murong Yin urgently explained, but didn’t receive any response from Bai Family Master.
