บท 104: Chapter 104: Zong Breaking Pill, Persuasion

As a member of the Jia Ma Imperial Family, Yao Ye had especially practiced the art of speaking, so it was very comfortable to chat with her.

In the process of talking with Xiao Ming, she also told a lot of secret stories about the Jia Ma Empire, which in turn gave Xiao Ming a better understanding of the Jia Ma Empire.

Most importantly, Xiao Ming in the course of the conversation rarely turned to look at her clothes, so Yao Ye felt that her first goal seems to be a bit difficult to achieve, so she never mentioned it.

When she had almost finished setting the stage, she talked about the second purpose of her trip.

"My Great Grandfather wants to invite you, Master Xiao Ming, to go to the Jia Ma Sacred City."

"Invite me to Jia Ma Sacred City? To what?" Xiao Ming looked at Yao Ye, who always had a smile in front of him.

Yao Ye hesitantly looked at the three elders beside him, as the Serene Sea Scaly Beast was the protector of the Jia Ma Empire, and the fewer people who knew about his injuries, the better.

The three elders were old enough to see Yao Ye's hesitation, and after a glance between them, they found an excuse to leave.

Only after the three had left did Yao Ye say, "The reason for asking Master Xiao Ming to go to Jia Ma Sacred City is because my imperial family's protector beast has suffered a recurrence of his wounds, so I would like to ask Master Xiao Ming to go to Jia Ma Sacred City to help treat his wounds. Of course, the reward offered by our imperial family will definitely satisfy Master Xiao Ming."

"Help Serene Sea Scaly Beast treat his wounds, is that the only thing? Isn't Master Fa Ma, the chairman of the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Association, in Jia Ma Sacred City? Haven't you approached him?"

Yao Ye smiled bitterly at his words, although they had not invited Master Fa Ma, they had invited other fifth-tier alchemists over the years, but all of them were unable to treat the Serene Sea Scaly Beast's hidden injury, and could only help suppress it a little.

However, the injury had become increasingly difficult to suppress over time, and now it was about to burst out.

After listening to Yao Ye's explanation, Xiao Ming nodded his head and pondered whether he should go or not.

To be honest, Xiao Ming had been a bit bored in the Xiao family for the past few days, and he had several things to do now that he returned to the Jia Ma Empire, in addition to taking care of some Xiao family matters.

It was a good time.

Seeing that Xiao Ming had plunged into deep thoughts, Yao Ye at his side, added: "Master Xiao Ming, in fact, my Great Grandfather also wants to ask you to refine a Zong Breaking Pill, I wonder if you have the time to refine it."

"A sixth-tier Zong Breaking Pill?" Xiao Ming listened to her words and became interested, the Zong Breaking Pill was a high-tier pill, in the Jia Ma Empire, it was believed that even Pill King Gu He would have difficulty refining a pill of this tier.

How could the other party be sure that he could refine it?

"Indeed, it is a Zong Breaking Pill, I wonder if Master Xiao Ming has the time to refine it?". Yao Ye nodded her head and said.

In fact, Jia Xing Tian had asked Yao Ye to mention the Zong Breaking Pill just to test, Alchemists used to cherish their own reputation and be very cautious when dealing with the world.

If Xiao Ming could refine it, then everyone would be happy, if he couldn't refine it, he would naturally refuse and leave a good impression, with Xiao Ming's growth speed, they might also seek him again in the future.

"This refinement is possible, however, with regard to the success rate…"

Although Xiao Ming believed that he could refine this level of pill with the help of his Heavenly Flame, the ingredients of the Zong Breaking Pill were too difficult to gather, and he also had the Zong Breaking Pill in his storage ring, so he had not refined it before, and was unfamiliar with the technique, so it would be difficult for him to guarantee the success rate.

"This success rate... it's not too high, only forty percent."

"Forty percent?" Yao Ye gave a slight sigh of relief at his words, patted her voluptuous chest, and said pretending to be angry, "Master Xiao Ming likes to joke a lot, having a forty percent success rate for a sixth-tier peak pill is no longer low. I ask the Master to help us, we have prepared everything according to the rules of the alchemists in Jia Ma Sacred City, and the compensation will also satisfy you, Master."

Was a forty percent success rate high? Any success rate of less than ninety percent was considered low by Xiao Ming, and only by being strict with himself would he improve his skills.

But seeing that the other party did not care, Xiao Ming pondered for a moment and then said.

"Very well, I agree on both."

As an Alchemist, there was no reason for him to refuse when the other party came to his door to talk about business, and since the materials for sixth-tier pills were very hard to find, this time refining the Zong Breaking Pill would also help him increase his expertise.

Of course, Xiao Ming had the Zong Breaking Pill in his storage ring and could directly sell it to the other party now, but there was no need to do so.

With three ingredients to refine it and a 40% success rate, he had a high degree of certainty that he would be able to refine it.

He could not miss this opportunity to practice.

Seeing that Xiao Ming agreed, Yao Ye revealed a bright smile and stood up, still smiling.

"Thanks to Master Xiao Ming for being willing to help us, I wonder when Master is free to leave and head to Jia Ma Sacred City?".

"Isn't Princess Yao Ye very anxious?" Seeing her excited look, Xiao Ming laughed.

"The sooner Serene Sea Scaly Beast's injuries are treated, the better, please forgive me, if it's inconvenient for Master, for the time being, we can postpone it for a bit." Realizing that she was being a bit rude, Yao Ye coughed slightly and replied.

"No need, we will leave tomorrow." Xiao Ming also stood up and began to say goodbye to Yao Ye.

After setting a time with Xiao Ming to leave together tomorrow, Yao Ye left, Wu Tan City has the City Lord's residence and she would stay there tonight.

Soon after Yao Ye left, the three elders entered the welcome hall.

Looking at Xiao Ming who was sitting in his seat, the three elders gathered around and asked with some curiosity, "I wonder what Princess Yao Ye's business is in coming to our Xiao Clan."

"She only invited me to refine pills, nothing important." Xiao Ming did not elaborate on the specific content, instead, he said, "You three have arrived just in time, tomorrow I will leave the clan for a trip."

"What, are you leaving? Is it because Princess Yao Ye is looking for you to refine pills? And when will you be back?" hearing Xiao Ming leaving, the three elders rushed to ask.

"I should be gone for half a month" After thinking about it, Xiao Ming said.

Hearing that he would only be gone for half a month, the three elders breathed a sigh of relief, and to be honest, having Xiao Ming in the Xiao family these days had increased their sense of security.

If Xiao Ming were to leave, they would be a little reluctant for a while.

This time, when leaving the Clan, unlike last time, the three elders did not pull Xiao Ming to give him lessons on how to walk on the continent, as Xiao Ming was already a Dou King and no longer needed to be told anything.

This time, instead, it was Xiao Ming who warned them not to mess with Xiao Yan anymore.

Today, when Yun Yun arrived at the door, Xiao Ming had acutely sensed that there were soul power fluctuations in Xiao Yan's ring.

It was probably because Yao Lao had said something to Xiao Yan that had given him the courage to establish some kind of three-year agreement in front of Yun Yun.

Since Yao Lao had engaged in a conversation with Xiao Yan, then Xiao Yan's talent was definitely going to recover in the future, and these three elders would have to suffer if they continued to target Xiao Yan.

Seeing that the three elders had been quite good to him, Xiao Ming thought that it would be better for them to restrain the clan members.

When they heard Xiao Ming's words asking them to restrain the clan members, the three elders thought that Xiao Ming was defending Xiao Yan, so they looked at each other and nodded their heads.

Although they did not like Xiao Yan, since Xiao Ming had spoken, they could only do as they were told.
