Chapter 182 - Xuan Yi Entering The City!
How could she be injured so easily?
Even if this desolate beast was her, it was impossible for her to lift it so easily, right?
However, at that moment, it was as if Yaoyao was possessed by the Hercules. In her body, in her chest, where the Divine Bones had been dug out, there were trails of blood that were s.h.i.+ning brightly. The symbols interweaved as though they were nurturing some mystery, and the energy released was sent back to Yaoyao"s limbs.
Xia Ziwei held her sword and silently followed behind Little Yaoyao.
While she recalled what she had said to Yaoyao, her face flushed uncontrollably.
When she came to the southern wilderness, she imagined that everything should be based on her. She had painstakingly told her everything that she thought was right.
Although she didn"t mean to look down on Yaoyao, she was indeed trying to guide Yaoyao as a senior.
If her strength was really stronger than Yaoyao, then it wouldn"t be wrong.
However, the spiritual energy fluctuation that Yaoyao released just now, Xia Ziwei knew that she was far inferior to Yaoyao.
She was about seventeen or eighteen years old now, and her strength was in the middle stage of the awakening realm.
Although Yaoyao was only seven or eight years old, but she already had the strength of the late stage of the Awakening Realm.
And as Xuan Yi"s disciple, Xia Ziwei did not believe that Yaoyao did not have any other tricks. Her trump card, her true combat strength must be stronger.
Xia Ziwei"s face was red as she shook her head slightly.
Whoever came would die. Even a mountain-moving desolate beast could not do it.
From a certain point of view, Yaoyao already had some of Xuan Yi"s style of doing things.
The two returned to the village. Such a mountain-like desolate beast was enough for the village to eat for a long time. Even its blood was enough to create some awakened ones.
The rest was left to the villagers themselves.
Silently, Yaoyao bade farewell to her mother and brother and left the village with Xuan Yi under the watchful eyes of the villagers.
The city lord of Water City was already in critical condition. His face was deathly pale as he lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
Since he was the city lord of water city, he was also the strongest person who held the fort in Water City. He was the protection of the residents in the city too.
If he fell, once the aura of the experts in the city was lost, it would not be long before desolate beasts would attack. They would break through the city gates and endanger the lives of everyone.
If he was safe, Water City would be safe.
If he died, Water City would be in a dangerous situation.
In this era where desolate beasts ran rampant and experts lived, everyone understood that the safety of the city lord was more important than anything else.
"Report! The eldest young master is back," a guard shouted. Following that, everyone looked at the door with antic.i.p.ation.
They saw a young man dressed in iron with a depressed expression. Facing everyone"s expectant gaze, he walked in with his head lowered.
"Tell us. What"s the situation?"
Seeing the young man in such a state, everyone had already expected this. However, there were still people who did not give up and wanted confirmation.
"I-I didn"t invite him."
The young man shook his head with a dejected expression.
Everyone sighed. Well, that was what they had already expected.
The eldest young master had gone to the dynasty.
Although the dynasty"s alchemists were powerful, they would not leave the dynasty.
How could a small city like theirs hire an alchemist from the dynasty?
Everyone fell silent.
Turning to look at the door, they realized that the second young master"s was walking in with his head lowered.
It was obvious that he had not succeeded.
"Any updates?"
"The alchemists from the big cities feel that my price is too low. They are not willing to move around!"
Everyone shook their heads, for he price of an alchemist from a big city was so expensive. It had been like this since ancient times. Because of the recent desolate beast riot, no one was willing to take the risk.
The two young masters looked at each other with eyes filled with sorrow.
Their father was in critical condition. They, their children, immediately looked around, wanting to invite an alchemist. After chess king saw the stubborn illness, he refined a spirit pill. He did not want to cure it immediately. Even if he suppressed it temporarily, he could slowly think of a way later.
Nevertheless, the alchemists were honorable, and their prices were not enough to move alchemists. In the current situation, it was impossible for an alchemist to take the risk and be willing to work in a remote small city like theirs.
If the city lord could not be cured, it was likely that he would not be able to last for a few more days.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes gradually filled with despair.
If Water City was in danger, where should they run to? What should they do with so many citizens?
"Reporting, third miss is back. She brought the others back!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"Quick, invite third lady in!"
Xia Ziwei revealed her figure. Although she looked tired, the divine light in her eyes was astonis.h.i.+ng.
"I"ve invited an alchemist..."
Under everyone"s expectant gazes, Xuan Yi slowly walked in with Yaoyao.
When everyone saw Xuan Yi, the expectant light in their eyes instantly dimmed.
Although there were no alchemists in water city, they had seen alchemists more or less. Be it the high-level alchemists of the dynasty or the alchemists in the big cities, all of them possessed the demeanor of Immortals. It was not easy for an alchemist to become an immortal; if one wanted to become an alchemist in the wild world, one would have to go through a lot of painstaking research.
After doing this, one or two alchemists would be created.
For this reason, most alchemists wouldn"t be too young.
Everyone stared at each other. Although they didn"t say it out loud, they knew the intention in each other"s eyes.
They had never seen such a young alchemist, so could he really do it?
"I wonder, how should I address you?"
A white-haired old man"s eyes flickered. He took a step forward and cupped his hands in salute.
He had lived for a long time and had seen many scammers.
In his opinion, scammers only sought benefits. Besides money, alchemists also sought things that only alchemists needed.
As long as he knew what the person in front of him promised to pay him, he could roughly determine whether or not the person was an alchemist.
"My name is Xuan Yi, and I am an alchemist. I understand your city Lord"s illness. It isn"t difficult."
Xuan Yi smiled and glanced at the crowd. In his eyes, the city lord paused for a moment before nodding his head, and his tone was full of confidence.
The eyes of the old man flashed. Cupping his hands once again, he uttered, "I wonder what Price Xuan s.h.i.+ will need us to pay to make a move?"
A true alchemist in front of them did not dare to guarantee that they would be able to cure him. This was one of the reasons why some alchemists were unwilling to come. Who would want their reputation to decline?
The young man in front of him dared to say that he could be cured just by looking at the surface. He was undoubtedly a liar.
"I need a decent pill furnace and some spiritual materials. Please give me the pill furnace first and you can go and find the spiritual materials."
Xuan Yi"s expression was calm as he handed over a list. The list was filled with spiritual materials. They were all materials needed to refine a grade five spirit pill. Once a grade five spirit pill was refined, it could strengthen the divine blood and re-nurture the divine bone for Little Yaoyao.
Shocked, the old man took the list and skimmed through it.
Although there were many precious spirit materials on this list, their value was much cheaper than the price offered by an invited alchemist.
As for the pill furnace, although there were no alchemists in Water City, a pill furnace could still be taken out from the Treasury.
