Not long after Ye Xiao left the Alchemist Association, a huge commotion stirred up in the Alchemist Association.

When Ye Xiao was making a deal with the Pill King Xuan Feng, many people saw them. They knew the value of a Sixth Grade Medicinal Pill Formula and since they saw Pill King Xuan Feng getting the pill formula of Ice Heart Pill, it was immediately made known to everyone in the Alchemist Association and soon this matter began to spread out of the Alchemist Association.

The peoples of Medicine Pavilion also heard about this matter and immediately notified Pill King Zhu. Pill King Zhu came out of the Medicine Pavilion and visited the Alchemist Association.

Although there was a feud between Medicine Pavilion and Alchemist Association in the Azure Dragon Empire, it does not mean that they did not talk or do business among themselves.

They do the things that can help them make a profit the most.

Pill King Zhu visited the Alchemist Association and other alchemists including Da Jun followed him.

After talking with Pill King Xuan Feng, they came to know about Ye Xiao and when Pill King Xuan Feng described the body features of Ye Xiao, Da Jun immediately exclaimed: "So it was him!".

Seeing this, Pill King Zhu asked if he knew Ye Xiao. Da Jun did not dare to tell anything. He hurriedly shook his head and denied. He said that he misunderstood but Pill King Zhu's suspicion was not over. He returned to the Medicine Pavilion and thoroughly investigated.

After his investigation, he soon came to know why Da Jun exclaimed before.

Pill King Zhu was very angry with Da Jun. Da Jun actually forced a potential customer away because of his arrogance. If Ye Xiao was not forced away then the Ice Heart Pill's formula might be in his hand right now.

Da Jun was punished severely by Pill King Zhu. His status in the Medicine Pavilion fell down. At this moment, a sentence that Ye Xiao told him before echoed in his mind: "You won't regret this?"

And at that time, his answer was, "Haha, what can you do to me?"

Now, he was regretting. He was regretting his actions very much but what can he do now that everything was already over.

.....

At this time, Ye Xiao stood before the entrance of a vast estate.

This vast estate was beautifully decorated and looked to not be the slightest bit inferior to any palace. It could be seen from this that the power this estate represented was extremely extraordinary in the territory of the Rain Country.

"This Zhu Family is really extraordinary." As he looked at the door before him, Ye Xiao could not help but be slightly surprised.

In next to no time, Ye Xiao's gaze descended onto an enormous plaque on the door.

On it was two words written in exquisite writing.

Zhu Family!

"That Zhu word…" Suddenly, seeming to have sensed something, Ye Xiao's burning gaze stared fixedly at the word 'Zhu' on the plaque.

On the word, Ye Xiao clearly sensed the aura of an Inscription Formation.

When Ye Xiao Divine Sense fused into it.

Bang!

Instantly, Ye Xiao felt a shapeless energy assault him.

Subsequently, his mind became clear.

At the same time, a shocking scene appeared before his eyes.

In the scene, an exceedingly enormous flying beast floated above the sky, and its entire body flowed with an extremely beautiful crimson red glow.

On the flying beast's body, boundless flames blazed, and it seemed like a joyful fairy of flames.

"Phoenix?" Although Ye Xiao had never seen a flying magical beast like this, this magical beast was slightly similar to the Divine Beast Phoenix of legend, and it allowed Ye Xiao to easily connect them together.

Most importantly, this scene was in the form of an Inscription Formation, and it was contained within the 'Zhu' word on the plaque on the Zhu Family Estate's door.

It caused one to be unable to refrain from being lost in wild and fanciful thoughts.

Ye Xiao walked out with large strides and headed towards the Zhu Family Estate's door.

In next to no time, the guards at the entrance abruptly stood up and seemed to have transformed into a guardian of the door that stopped Ye Xiao.

These Zhu Family's guards wore fiery red clothes, and their brows were filled with seriousness, causing them to seem to possess an overwhelming imposing aura.

At the same time, Ye Xiao's Divine Sense stretched out to envelop these Zhu Family guards and detect their cultivations.

The strongest amongst these Zhu Family guards was at the Ninth Stage of the Martial King Realm Stage and the weakest was at the Third Stage of the Martial King Realm.

"What are you here for?" Meanwhile, the one and only Ninth Stage Martial King Realm martial artist amongst the Zhu Family's guards stood out to stare at Ye Xiao as he asked with a low voice.

"I have come to look meet the patriarch of Zhu Family and refine a Mystical Rank Sword for his daughter." Ye Xiao shrugged and spoke slowly.

"Are you sure you can refine a Mystical rank Sword for young miss?" The guard looked at Ye Xiao seriously and asked.

Ye Xiao looked too young to be able to refine a Mystical Rank Weapon. Even if it is Low-Grade Mystical Rank Weapon, to refine it, one has to practice for at least a few hundred years but Ye Xiao only looked around twenty. How can he refine a Mystical Rank weapon?

"I am sure!" Ye Xiao nodded his head and confirmed the guard. He knew why the guard asked this question.

The guard nodded and said, "Please wait for a while. I'll go and inform the patriarch first."

Seeing Ye Xiao agreeing with him, the guard left to inform the patriarch of the Zhu Family. Although he was suspicious about Ye Xiao but it was not his turn to decide what to do. He has to inform the patriarch first.

Sometime later, the guard returned and led Ye Xiao inside the Zhu Family. Ye Xiao followed the guard and arrived at a big hall where many elders were seating and on the seat of the leader of the family, a middle-aged man was sitting and giving off a dignified aura.

Beside him, a young lady in her early twenties was standing. She wore a veil that was covering her face, making it impossible for anyone to see her face. Only her dark black eyes could be seen.

She was the daughter of the Zhu Family's patriarch, Zhu Hua.

"Young man, are you sure you can refine the weapon my daughter wants?"

After Ye Xiao arrived, the patriarch of the Zhu Family asked. He was surprised to see how young Ye Xiao actually was but he does not underestimate him. Not long before, he heard that a young man killed a Martial Saint realm expert of the number one sect of White Tiger Empire, the Hundred Sword Sect.

Ye Xiao nodded his head, saying, "Yes, I am sure!"

The patriarch of the Zhu Family again said, "Young man, before you, many people came who said they can refine a Mystical Rank Sword for my daughter but everyone failed. And now, there are not many materials left."

"I'll clear it first that if you failed to refine the sword, either you have to compensate us for the lost materials or you have to work for my Zhu Family for ten years. If you agree then I'll give you the materials to refine and if you can not accept this condition, you can go back."

Ye Xiao did not think much. He directly answered, "I agree."

"Good. Then... come with me!" The patriarch stood up and walked toward the interior part of the Zhu Family. All the people present also followed him including the young lady.

Ye Xiao also followed behind them and arrived at a big room where there was everything present to refine the sword.

Originally, when the Zhu Family's patriarch heard Ye Xiao wanted to refine a Mystical Rank Sword, he was already extremely shocked.

After all, Ye Xiao was truly too young. Could such a young man refine a Mystical Rank Weapon successfully?

However, the extreme confidence Ye Xiao unintentionally revealed had instead allowed him to realize that Ye Xiao ought to not be boasting.

If Ye Xiao was really boasting, then he would utterly not accept the condition he gave before.

What was more, even with his Third Stage Martial Ancestor Realm cultivation, he was unable to see through Ye Xiao's cultivation!

He tried to probe Ye Xiao's cultivation before but what left him dumbfounded that he actually failed. He failed to probe Ye Xiao's cultivation.

There could be only two possibilities for his failure.

One is that Ye Xiao was deliberately hiding his cultivation with a secret technique and the other one is that Ye Xiao's was much stronger than him.

He wanted to believe the first reason but his instinct told him that Ye Xiao was not as simple as he looks on the surface. He might be even stronger than him.
