Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 669

"What?" Xiao Yi was stunned upon hearing this.

Miss Youyou pouted and said, "Anyway, that’s the little favor I’m asking. Will you help or not?"

"What is the Breeze Pharmacist Banquet?" Xiao Yi asked.

Miss Youyou hurriedly replied, "You change your clothes first; I’ll explain on the way."

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then nodded.

Miss Youyou immediately brightened up, "Thank you, Young Master Xiao Yi, I’ll wait for you outside the room."

Having said that, Miss Youyou flung her sleeves, turned around, and waited outside the room.

Xiao Yi glanced at the clothes on the table.

Then he looked at the clothes he was wearing.

After coming out of the spatial turbulence, his clothes were in a complete state of disarray and tattered.

In the past two days, while focusing on healing himself, he had indeed forgotten to change his clothes, making him appear rather unseemly now.

However, he had his own clothes in his Universe Ring, so he didn’t need the clothes prepared by Miss Youyou.

A flash of light emanated from the Universe Ring in his hand. freewёbnoνel.com

A set of Young Master’s clothes appeared out of thin air.

He changed clothes casually and walked out of the room.

"Is it okay now?" Miss Youyou, hearing the door open, turned her head.

Upon seeing him, she was momentarily stunned.

In her eyes, a gentleman graceful as jade stood before her.

His outfit, although not overly lavish, was perfectly fitting.

A breath of ethereal elegance about him made it hard to look away.

"Miss Youyou, why do you look at me like that?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows and said.

Miss Youyou came back to her senses and said, "So handsome."

"Um," Xiao Yi was slightly embarrassed, "Didn’t you say we are going to a banquet?"

"Oh, right," Miss Youyou replied, "The Breeze Pharmacist Banquet is held at the City Lord’s Mansion, quite far from the Du family’s place. We should hurry."

After saying that, Miss Youyou grabbed Xiao Yi and started running.

On the way, Miss Youyou explained to Xiao Yi.

Meanwhile, as Xiao Yi walked on the city streets, he occasionally overheard the conversations of passersby.

He roughly understood.

Breeze City, where the Du Family resided, was indeed a large city.

At the same time, it was a city of Alchemists, with many Alchemists residing here.

It was extremely famous throughout the Fengxu Kingdom.

The Breeze Pharmacist Banquet was an annual grand event in Breeze City.

It was a gathering for young Alchemists to exchange ideas, and it was quite lively.

Generally, the younger generation would find a partner of the opposite sex to go with them, talented young men and beautiful young women, attending the banquet together.

However, Xiao Yi couldn’t understand why Miss Youyou had asked for his help.

With her beauty, she should have had plenty of talented Alchemists from the city wanting to accompany her.

Soon, the two arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.

The butler was already there to receive them and lead them in.

Inside, the mansion was already filled with guests.

Upon entering the City Lord’s Mansion, Miss Youyou pulled Xiao Yi into a corner.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, it’s fine if we just stay here," Miss Youyou said pouting.

"Hmm?" Although Xiao Yi was puzzled, he nodded anyway.

This pharmacists’ gathering did not interest him; he was more than pleased to be away from the crowd and enjoy some tranquility.

However, some people did not wish for his peace.

Not far away, several couples slowly approached.

The men were handsome and the women beautiful, appearing very close to each other.

"Yo, isn’t that Miss Youyou?" one of the women said mockingly.

"Every year at the Breeze Pharmacist Banquet, you always come alone."

"What’s the matter? You actually have company today? Which foolish man is so tactless this time?"

Everyone’s gaze suddenly turned towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi frowned.

Because it was quite apparent that he was the "fool" the woman was referring to.

"Hey, actually, he’s quite a distinguished gentleman," another woman spoke up, her voice laced with surprise.

"So what, is it not okay?" Miss Youyou huffed angrily and glared at those two women, then affectionately grabbed onto Xiao Yi’s arm.

Xiao Yi frowned but remained silent.

"It’s not that it’s not okay," the woman mockingly laughed, "It’s just surprising that anyone would be willing to accompany you to embarrass yourself."

"Ha ha." Suddenly, there was a burst of raucous laughter around them.

"Breeze City, who doesn’t know, where there’s trouble, there you are, Du Youyou."

"Which genius would want to accompany you to lose face?"

"Hmph." Du Youyou pouted, her face flushed with anger, yet unable to retort.

Xiao Yi still frowned but remained silent.

Several young talents of Breeze City glared at Xiao Yi with resentful eyes.

In fact, in terms of looks, Du Youyou was far more beautiful than the women by their side.

However, due to Du Youyou’s bad reputation, they could only look on from afar.

But that did not mean they enjoyed seeing such a beauty clinging to another man’s arm.

"Du Youyou, that young master by your side seems somewhat unfamiliar," a young man scoffed.

"He doesn’t seem to be a scion from any major families in Breeze City."

"He accompanies you, watches you lose face like this, yet dares not utter a single word."

"With such a cowardly display, Du Youyou, you still cling to him so closely, have you no shame?"

Beside them, another round of raucous laughter erupted.

"You...you, the Hu family, the Zhong family, are you asking for a beating?" Du Youyou, infuriated, swung her fists.

The young talents from before shrank noticeably.

"Tsks, Du Youyou is about to hit someone again," the women scoffed a while ago."

"At the City Lord’s Mansion, during the Breeze Pharmacist Banquet, you dare make a scene, Du Youyou?"

"Do you believe even the Du Family can’t protect you?"

A few couples, scoffing and mocking, gradually walked away.

Du Youyou, stomping her feet in anger, glared dissatisfiedly at Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Yi, why do you not say a word?"

In her exasperation, Du Youyou even omitted addressing him as ’young master.’

"Uh," Xiao Yi said somewhat awkwardly, "A bunch of fools from the Mysterious Profundity Realm and Mystic Breakthrough Realm, they are no different from idiots in my eyes."

"I’m too lazy to respond."

Xiao Yi was accustomed to dealing with old timers and sly foxes, never once being at a disadvantage in his words.

A bunch of so-called geniuses from the Mysterious Profundity Realm and Mystic Breakthrough Realm jumping around before him seemed no different from a group of fools.

He naturally couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

Du Youyou pouted, ignoring Xiao Yi’s words.

Soon, the banquet officially began.

Xiao Yi and Du Youyou took their seats together.

Around them, nearly all major powers of Breeze City had arrived.

A middle-aged man slowly appeared before everyone.

The man exuded an impressive aura.

Everyone stood up and greeted with clasped hands, "City Lord."

"Hmm," the middle-aged man, the City Lord of Breeze City, responded.

"The annual Breeze Pharmacist Banquet is a major event in our Breeze City."

"..."

The Breeze City Lord was reciting some standard opening remarks.

Xiao Yi, too lazy to listen, sensed quietly.

"Heavenly Origin Realm," Xiao Yi muttered to himself and nodded.

Several minutes later, the Breeze City Lord finally finished his courteous speeches.

"How this year’s Breeze Pharmacist Banquet will turn out depends on the performances of the geniuses present."

With that, the City Lord waved his hand.

Several City Guards brought over a table.

The City Lord took out an item and said, "This year’s first pill recipe is for a Peak Fourth-grade Elixir."

"Which genius is willing to step forward first?"

Below, at the banquet seat,

Xiao Yi turned to Du Youyou and asked, "Breeze Pharmacist Banquet, does it require refining?"

"Of course," Du Youyou replied, "The City Lord will present an elixir assessment; those who successfully refine it will receive substantial rewards."

"How substantial?" asked Xiao Yi.

"Of course, a lot of refining materials," Du Youyou said, "Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Demon Beast Cores, Demon Beast Essence Blood."

"All above Fifth-grade."

"Fifth-grade?" Xiao Yi frowned.

"Not necessarily," Du Youyou said, "Every year’s Breeze Pharmacist Banquet will only stop when the pill recipes become too difficult for anyone to refine."

"If one is capable enough to keep refining, it’s possible to take all the treasures in the City Lord’s mansion as reward."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi’s eyes lit up slightly.

...

Third update.
