Great Emperor Myriad - Chapter 57 - Xue Wei Awakens
Chapter 57: Xue Wei Awakens
“Young Lord, I’ll be returning to the Capital tomorrow to report for work. Do you want to come with me? It’ll be dangerous for you to return alone!” Liu Xiongfei asked sincerely.
“No, thank you! Don’t worry, Uncle Liu, I’m not bothered about those useless people. I’ll return once I’ve sorted things out in Longevity Sect!” Ling Xiao replied.
Seeing as Ling Xiao had made a decision, Liu Xiongfei did not persuade him further. Instead, he smiled. “Young Lord, Piaopiao will follow you after I return to the Capital. She has been spoiled since she was young, so please forgive her if she doesn’t serve you well!”
“Liu Piaopiao? She has great qualities. Don’t worry, I’ll give her some pointers!” Ling Xiao responded.
As if Ling Xiao had read his mind, Liu Xiongfei was slightly embarrassed.
Although he had no idea where Ling Xiao learned his amazing alchemist knowledge, he knew that he was not an ordinary person since Great Master Jiao Mu was willing to acknowledge him as his master. Therefore, he was hoping that Liu Piaopiao could learn from Ling Xiao.

Little did he know that Ling Xiao saw through him.
Then, Liu Xiongfei chuckled. “Thank you, Young Lord! Do you want me to eliminate Indulgence Sect before I leave? To uproot evil?”
His eyes were full of killing intent and a strong, imposing manner was released from his body. After all, he was the number one master in Longevity City!
“You don’t need to. If they’re still so stubborn, I’ll teach them an unforgettable lesson!” Ling Xiao commented.
Seeing as Ling Xiao was confident, Liu Xiongfei knew that there was no need to advise Ling Xiao anymore. Hence, he simply nodded and smiled bitterly.
After they had conversed for a short while more, Liu Xiongfei left.
Soon, Great Master Jiao Mu arrived.
“Greetings, Honorable Master!” he greeted Ling Xiao respectfully.
“You’re in high spirits, so you must’ve arrived at the critical phase. You’ll become a moderate great pill alchemy master in no time! Not bad, not bad. Get up!”
Ling Xiao nodded.
Jiao Mu was shocked that Ling Xiao could point out that he was already at the peak of an inferior great pill alchemy master with one glance. Ling Xiao’s insight was truly unfathomable and that made him even more in awe of Ling Xiao.
“It was all thanks to the prescription of Seven Mystic Treasure Pill given by you, Honorable Master! I believe that I’ll become a moderate great pill alchemy master once I’m able to refine the finest Seven Mystic Treasure Pills!” He giggled.
He had finally realized how lucky he was to have acknowledged Ling Xiao as his master.
If Jiao Mu were to become a moderate great pill alchemy master, his status would be different.
It was worth noting that there were only two superior great pill alchemy masters in the Ancient Great Barrenland. One was the national master, and the other was the Spiritual Herb Pavilion’s mysterious pavilion master.
Becoming a moderate great pill alchemy master meant that Jiao Mu belonged in the highest tier among the people in the Ancient Great Barrenland.
“That’s great! Are you returning to the Capital with Liu Xiongfei? If that’s the case, I have a few tasks for you!” Ling Xiao mentioned.
“Yes, I am! I must return to the Capital because something has happened. Please, let me know what you need!” Jiao Mu responded with respect.
“Once you’re back at the Capital, I’ll authorize you as an independent Seven Mystic Treasure Pill operator. Here are two more prescriptions; produce as many of these three drugs as you can, and exchange them for resources. Do your best to gather these items for me!”
Ling Xiao handed two prescriptions and a list of materials to Jiao Mu.
“This is… Five Mystic Spiritual Pill and Six Mystic Spiritual Pill?” Jiao Mu was stunned. He quickly kept the received items as if he had received treasures.
“Five Mystic Spiritual Pill is a superior spiritual pill. One of that is enough to allow masters below Spiritualization Boundary to advance through three tiers without any conditions, but everyone can only consume one at most. Six Mystic Spiritual Pill can let masters in ninth tier Spiritualization Boundary advance to Dragon Tiger Boundary! I believe that you’ll have a place in all the Capital’s low-end, medium-end, and high-end drug market if you produce all three of those drugs. Only then will you be able to find the items I need!” Ling Xiao explained.
While the prescriptions of the three drugs were nothing to him, they were peerless treasures to Jiao Mu.
Although Five Mystic Spiritual Pill and Six Mystic Spiritual Pills were the simplified versions of Seven Mystic Treasure Pill, they had wonderful drug efficacies that were very useful for normal martial artists.
Nevertheless, Jiao Mu gasped when he saw the list of materials given by Ling Xiao. He then smiled bitterly.
“Honorable Master, I’m afraid that I might not be able to gather all these heavenly treasures even if I were to search the entire Ancient Great Barrenland! But I’ll try my best to, don’t worry!”
The list given by Ling Xiao included the highest grade of Five Elemental Spiritual Seeds, treasures that were needed to cultivate Earthly Dragon’s Body which was the second tier of Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique, and several materials for pill refining. However, it would be hard to collect them since they were all heavenly treasures.
Ling Xiao nodded. “Just try your best! If you can manage to gather everything for me, I’ll pass you a secret technique for mental power cultivation!”
“A secret technique for mental power cultivation?!” Jiao Mu exclaimed as he could not believe what he had just heard.
The biggest factor that restrained a pill alchemist from advancing further was mental power, which could only be improved through one’s cultivation advancement.
Rumor had it that there were secret techniques for mental power cultivation. However, not only were those extremely precious and rare, but they were also unheard of in the Ancient Great Barrenland.
If Jiao Mu could acquire a secret technique for mental power cultivation, it would be possible for him to become a superior great pill alchemy master or even a peerless great pill alchemy master!
“Honorable Master, don’t worry, I’ll gather all these materials for you even if I have to risk my life!”
Jiao Mu claimed while he clapped his chest with a look of excitement in his eyes.
“Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao, your maid’s awake!”
Right then, Liu Piaopiao shouted while she ran to Ling Xiao from afar.
“Xue Wei’s awake?”
Ling Xiao instantly flew toward Jin Se Pavilion.
In the pavilion, clothed in a white dress, Xue Wei appeared to be in a daze. Her body was shining in a faint black glow while she emitted a dark aura.
“Xue Wei, you’re awake?”
Ling Xiao was elated when he saw Xue Wei.
“Young Master! I almost thought that I’d never be able to see you anymore!”
Tears welled up in Xue Wei’s eyes as soon as she saw Ling Xiao and she ran into his arms. All the sufferings that she went through for the past few days turned into tears that eventually rolled down her cheeks.
“Don’t worry, everything’s fine now! I’ve killed the fella who hurt you!”
Ling Xiao comforted her while he stroked her hair.
Liu Piaopiao who was standing by the door at that moment somehow felt her heartache when she saw Xue Wei in Ling Xiao’s arms. She was rather downcast.
