The Battle Through Heaven
Xue Mei
Xiao Yan slowly walked into the Alchemist Association which occupied a large swath of land with Hai Bodong. The noise behind him was gradually put away and a faint medicinal fragrance spread from the place, causing one to feel relaxed and happy.
The current Alchemist Association was much stronger and prosperous in terms of abilities and numbers compared to three years ago after alchemists repeatedly joined them during these three years. At the very least, there was very little human traffic within the association back then.
Hai Bodong needed to make some preparations after entering the association. Therefore, he only told Xiao Yan the location of the meeting before going alone.
Xiao Yan still had feelings towards the Alchemist Association that he had separated from three years ago. Back then, he had experienced a very difficult medicinal refining competition for him. However, he was most considered a tier 3 alchemist who could refine a tier 4 medicinal pill when he participated in the competition back then. However, now he was a tier 6 alchemist who could be compared to Pill-King Gu He! This increase is not a small one …
Xiao Yan's gaze looked in all directions before pulling on Zi Yan, whose face was also filled with curiosity, as they slowly walked into the transaction area. If one had a good and lucky perception, one might be able to find a good thing in such a place. ‘Skyfire Three Mysterious Change’ from Xiao Yan was something he had gotten lucky from this place.
Xiao Yan entered the transaction area with Zi Yan. The endless-looking vendor and the black mass of human heads caused Xiao Yan to let out a cry. Following the growth of the Alchemist Association during these three years, the size of the transaction area had greatly expanded.
The sweeping gaze of Xiao Yan suddenly stopped right after he entered the transaction area. He was somewhat stunned to see a figure as white as snow not far away.
The figure was wearing a white dress while her long hair was emitting the same icy cold as snowflakes. This somewhat familiar figure caused Xiao Yan to recall the Frank disciple he had met in Black Rock City when he was training in the Jia Ma Empire three years ago, Xue Mei.
Xiao Yan got quite a positive feeling for Fu Lan Ke back then. The old man had helped her a little. Although this was because the latter wanted to persuade Xiao Yan to participate in the Grand Meeting Alchemist, he had no ill intentions. This girl who had a character like cold snow also gave Xiao Yan a pretty good impression.
” I wonder how they have been during these three years? ” This thought crossed Xiao Yan's heart, but he did not take the initiative to go and start a conversation. After looking at it from a distance, he withdrew his gaze from that snow-white figure. He pulled Zi Yan along as he slowly walked through this transaction area with a ferocious human flow.
Not long after Xiao Yan joined the human flow, Xue Mei who had bent her body to study medicinal ingredients turned her head. He seemed to feel something. The beautiful, smooth face like a snow mountain brought some uncertainty, causing the surrounding human traffic that came and went to involuntarily slow their footsteps. Their gazes looked at him rather greedily.
Xue Mei knit her brows slightly on the face of the surrounding gazes. He immediately entered the human crowd before disappearing.
Xiao Yan pulled Zi Yan and walked along a small street filled with sellers. His gaze repeatedly swept over those vendors. Perhaps it was because his horizon had widened but he could not find a single thing that could interest him after spending ten plus minutes.
” Everything is damaged lice ... ’’Zi Yan smacked his mouth and muttered. The Yaowan that he usually ate was all refined from medicinal ingredients that were extremely rare in the eyes of ordinary people. Ordinary medicinal ingredients were no different from the trash in his eyes even if it was rather rare in this market.
Xiao Yan was also helpless against this. It seems like wanting to find a treasure like ‘Trip’ Skyfire Mystery Change in this place really needs to rely on luck.
As there was no result, Xiao Yan finally gave up that kind of hope after wandering around a little longer. He helplessly shook his head towards Zi Yan. Just as he was about to leave, a commotion occurred not far in front of him. Sometimes, there was even an enigmatic laugh.
Xiao Yan was usually not interested in being an observer for such things. Hence, he simply raised his eyes before turning his body and preparing to leave. However, just as he turned his body around, a clear furious voice was transmitted from the crowd, which caused him to stop.
As soon as he said this, he withdrew Zi Yan's hand and quickly walked towards the area where the commotion was located. A moment later, he broke through the crowd and swept his gaze about the disturbance within.
At this moment, Xue Mei was quietly standing in the middle of the crowd. However, her usually too white and beautiful face was filled with anger. There were several men in alchemist robes standing a short distance ahead of him laughing as they looked at his red-red face. They repeatedly let out laughter.
’’ Aoba, don't overdo it! Don't think that/that you can be this arrogant just because your teacher is an Elder of the association! ” Fine finger Xue Mei pointed at the man who was the leader and angrily roared out.
’Hee Hee, Xue Mei, the one with the highest bid gets the goods in this transaction area. Since I can offer a higher price than you, it is only natural that/that this thing belongs to me. Even if you refer this matter to the head of the association, he won't be able to do anything to me. ” The person wearing the tier 2 alchemist badge on his chest only laughed in the face of Xue Mei's reprimand. After saying this, he turned to the vendor owner and shouted, ” I will offer fifty thousand gold coins for this ‘Icy’ Fire Snake Scale. Did you sell it? ’
The owner of the vendor was shocked when he heard Aoba's scream. He immediately rejoiced in his heart. Although this ‘Ice Fire Snake Scale Fruit’ was rather rare, it was the most valuable twenty thousand gold coins. It is unexpected that/that this missing person actually wants to buy it at twice the price. Of course, there was no reason for him to disagree.
Xue Mei's pretty face was green as she looked at Aoba who threw the ‘Ice Fire Snake Scale Fruit’ in her hand with a proud expression. He clenched his silver teeth but was completely helpless. He had recently been doing a retreat for quite some time and had just left the retreat today. Coincidentally, he looked at the medicinal ingredients he needed to refine the medicinal pill. He had just agreed on a price with the stall owner when this hateful person appeared like a ghost.
This Aoba had once tried to seduce Mei Xue because of her beautiful appearance. However, the latter was currently a tier 3 alchemist. Therefore, his attempt to seduce her naturally ended in failure. However, failure might fail but this stalker ended up being extremely displeased after being rejected by Xue Mei a few times. He repeatedly changed his tactics to find trouble with Xue Mei, causing her to be extremely annoyed. Moreover, his teacher possessed quite good refining abilities and had long been promoted to the position of Elder despite having just joined the association recently. His position in the association was quite high and he formed a gang using that status. In addition to the head of the association and his representative, who had the highest authority in the association was Aoba's teacher. Therefore, Mei Xue did not dare to attack and injure this person despite feeling extremely annoyed.
However, Xue Mei obviously underestimated the abomination of this sticky candy. Her tolerance had caused Aoba to take the advantage he could get. He would come and look for trouble at every opportunity. Today's situation is not the first time this has happened.
Xue Mei took a deep breath of air. He looked at Aoba's increasingly hateful and arrogant face before clenching his teeth. Given this situation, he could only give up on this ‘Ice Fire Snake Scale Fruit’.
Xue Mei's eyes were icy cold as she looked at Aoba before turning to leave. Laughter suddenly sounded within the crowd as she spun, ” One hundred thousand gold coins to buy these ‘Fruit Fire Scale Es’. ’
Everyone was shocked when this laughter sounded. They immediately turned their gazes over and saw a black-robed young man who was pulling a purple-haired little girl beside him. Some people subconsciously cast their miserable gazes. Is this new guy? He actually dared to humiliate Aoba?
This laughter also caused Xue Mei to turn her head to look at the black-robed young man. A somewhat familiar face surprised him. A moment later, he finally remembered the young man who had left a deep impression on him.
” You ... have never .. ” Xue Mei was stunned when she saw the black-robed young man. He gasped but the words that had reached his mouth were hurriedly swallowed after seeing the surrounding spectators.
Xiao Yan smiled and walked out of the crowd. He observed Xue Mei just before laughing, ‘’Is grandmaster Frank too?’
’’ Teacher is fine .. ’Xue May nodded. He immediately pulled out Xiao Yan's robe and softly said, ‘’Don't you leave the Jia Ma Empire? Leave quickly, do not offend these people .. ” Because Xue Mei is in a retreat, please, he really had no idea about this matter during these past two days that had become the biggest news of the Jia Ma Empire. He only knew that/that Xiao Yan was the target of the Misty Cloud Sect and would definitely be in deep trouble if he was discovered by the Misty Cloud Sect.
’’Oh, yo, why? Do you want to act like a hero who saves a girl in trouble? ” Aoba's face slowly darkened after Xiao Yan said his first word. He laughed strangely and immediately tightened his grip on the ‘Ice Fire Snake Scale Fruit’ as he coldly laughed, ‘’This young master has bought this thing. You just have to roll to one corner. I advise you not to interfere in the affairs of others. Otherwise, you may be able to enter the capital, but you will not be able to leave it .. ’’ If you find an error (broken link, non-standard content, etc.), etc, Please let us know so that we can fix it as soon as possible.
