Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 686: Master Above

He pulled out the first Qiankun Bag.

It was the reward for the first place in the Alchemy Competition.

Inside, there were a large number of Sixth-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and refining materials, along with a small amount of Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Xiao Yi took out the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace, and in less than ten minutes, he had refined all the materials.

By the way, the first prohibition of the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace had been unlocked.

Inside the furnace, strands of Heaven and Earth’s imposing energy were released.

Only Heaven and Earth Treasures could emanate the aura of Heaven and Earth’s imposing energy.

Therefore, before his strength was restored, Xiao Yi would not take out this furnace in front of others.

As a Supreme Treasure, the most powerful among Heaven and Earth Treasures, any strong martial artist would covet it.

At this moment, pellet by pellet of Perfect Level Elixirs appeared in the furnace.

Xiao Yi swallowed them one by one.

The pure power of the Elixirs transformed into Primordial Power, rapidly repairing the Small World.

Of course, the effect was still very weak.

After all the Elixirs were consumed, Xiao Yi’s Cultivation had roughly returned to around Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer.

His vast Small World was now full of holes — repairing it completely would require an astronomical amount of power.

A small amount of the Demon Beast Essence Blood was absorbed, and his Physical Strength did recover somewhat.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yi took out the second Qiankun Bag.

This was the compensation from Prince Fenghua.

Inside, there were dozens of Seventh-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; the rest were only Sixth-grade materials.

Prince Fenghua was not an alchemist and did not possess many Seventh-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

However, the quantity of Sixth-grade materials was more than ten times that of the first Qiankun Bag.

There was also no shortage of Level 6 Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Xiao Yi began refining again.

Once he stopped refining and all the Elixirs were consumed, his Cultivation directly restored to Earth Origin Sixth Layer.

"Sigh," Xiao Yi exhaled softly.

At this rate, fully recovering from his injuries and repairing the Small World would take quite some time.

"Let’s leave Fenghua County tomorrow," Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

On his journey to the Fengxu Capital, he should be able to restore his Heavenly Origin Realm Cultivation by the time he arrived.

As long as he obtained the final Alchemy reward, his injuries could be nearly completely healed.

At that time, he could leave the Fengxu Kingdom directly.

With an idea in mind, Xiao Yi put away the Alchemy Furnace.

He was about to sit down cross-legged and start his day of cultivation when he suddenly furrowed his brows.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi’s perception always covered the entire room.

He would instantly know of any movement inside or outside the room.

With a creak,

Xiao Yi stood up and opened the room’s door.

Outside stood Du Youyou.

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Yi asked softly.

"Xiao Yi, that..." Du Youyou bowed her head, her face flushed red.

"I have something to tell you."

Du Youyou’s voice was as faint as a mosquito.

"What is it?" Xiao Yi asked.

Du Youyou said, "Xiao Yi, you’ve always said these past days that you have important matters; is there really an urgent matter to attend to?"

Xiao Yi spoke softly, "Those were just polite remarks, though of course, I do have some important matters."

Du Youyou continued, "So these matters, do you need to strengthen your power for them?"

"What sort of question is that?" Xiao Yi laughed, "Whether there are important matters or not, a Martial Artist must strengthen their power and prioritize cultivation."

"That’s good," Du Youyou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Du Youyou’s expression changed, and then, biting her lip, she kneeled down abruptly, kowtowing deeply.

"Master above, please accept your disciple’s bow."

Xiao Yi sidestepped to avoid her, frowning, "What are you doing?"

Du Youyou pouted, seeming to muster great courage.

"Please, Master, focus on your cultivation, prioritize the Martial Arts, and resist coveting your disciple’s beauty."

"Ah..." Xiao Yi was startled.

After a long pause, Xiao Yi came back to his senses and suddenly laughed, "You’re referring to what happened at the Prince Mansion banquet tonight."

"A handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven."

Du Youyou’s face flushed red, "Please conduct yourself with dignity, Master."

"Heh." Xiao Yi realized what she was referring to and couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh.

"Rise."

As for the events of the night, he treated it as nothing more than a joke; had Du Youyou not mentioned it, he would have even forgotten about it.

Du Youyou stood up nervously, looking at Xiao Yi with a guarded expression.

Xiao Yi laughed and said, "What are you doing? Are you afraid I’ll eat you up?"

"Eat me?" Du Youyou’s face turned deathly pale, and she staggered back several steps in fear.

"I’m just kidding." Xiao Yi waved his hand and then teased her, "What, do you think I’m too ugly?"

"No... not at all," mumbled Du Youyou.

"Master is very handsome, very good-looking, even more beautiful than a woman."

"But Master is not the type Youyou likes."

Xiao Yi was at a loss for words.

He tapped on Du Youyou’s head and said, "What on earth is on your mind all day?"

"Enough, let’s get back."

"I may be several years older than you, but not so old as to be your master."

Du Youyou shook her head, "In matters of skill, one who excels is master. You’re even better at the Alchemy Technique than my father."

"Master..."

Xiao Yi said annoyingly, "Don’t you find it awkward calling me Master?"

Du Youyou lifted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Then... how about I call you Master when I ask for your instruction, and Xiao Yi at other times, is that okay?"

Du Youyou looked at Xiao Yi with still a hint of ’guard’ in her eyes, firm on the title of Master.

"Wouldn’t that mean you’d take advantage of both worlds?" Xiao Yi chuckled lightly and shook his head.

"Forget it, as you wish."

...

The night passed without incident.

The next day, the two of them left the inn and set off again.

They had barely left Fenghua City when they passed by a Demon Beast Forest.

Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

The number of Martial Artists passing by seemed to have increased.

"What’s happening? Is there some excitement going on?" Du Youyou asked with enthusiasm.

"Ah, I remember now."

"I heard a piece of news yesterday."

"What news?" Xiao Yi asked.

Du Youyou replied, "There is word that an Ancient Relic has appeared in Fenghua County."

"Many Martial Artists have come after hearing about it."

"Even disciples from Wind Dance Sword Sect out on their training expeditions have made a special trip here."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi was slightly surprised.

"But it’s not certain whether it’s true or not; would be great if it were." said Du Youyou.

"It must be true," Xiao Yi said.

He had heard of the name Wind Dance Sword Sect.

It’s the number one Major Sect in the Fengxu Kingdom.

However, it does not have branches in other counties; the Sect is located near the Fengxu Capital.

The group from Wind Dance Sword Sect he had encountered before was led by a Heavenly Origin Seventh Layer Elder Xun, comprised entirely of Mystic Breakthrough Fifth Layer and above Disciples.

Such a group should not have come to Fenghua County to train.

Fenghua County is not known for any particularly dangerous places.

He had been puzzled by this at the time.

Now, it must be due to this Ancient Relic that they’re here.

"Do you want to go join in the fun?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Mhm." Du Youyou nodded vigorously, her face full of anticipation.

"Then let’s go," Xiao Yi said with a faint smile.

Although his Cultivation had greatly decreased, his skills were still intact.

If anything unexpected happened, he was confident he could make a clean getaway.

...

Second update.
