Chương 9: Snow Jade Essence
"Who dares to touch our Fourth Young Master on the Xiao family's territory? Come and try it!" Payne said fiercely.
Galleo's subordinates immediately looked at each other, not daring to step forward. Galleo's expression also grew darker as he glared at his men and cursed under his breath, "A bunch of useless fools!"
However, he was unable to take on Xiao Yu himself, so he had to suppress his anger and prepare to leave. At that moment, Xiao Yu suddenly said from behind, "What's wrong? Galleo, aren't you bringing your lackeys for a stroll here?"
Galleo was so furious that he almost spat blood. After giving Xiao Yu a cold look, he quickly pushed his way through the crowd and left.
Watching Galleo leave, Payne turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Fourth Young Master, I have found the Level 1 Wood Magic Core you requested. It is produced by the Wood Fox beast!"
Payne took out a green magic crystal, from which a faint green light was reflected. Xiao Yu could sense a powerful and violent force within it; it was indeed a magic core from a Level 1 Wood Fox!
"Thank you, Uncle Payne!" Xiao Yu said as he took the Wood Fox magic core. He then pulled out a bag of gold coins and handed them to Payne, saying, "Uncle Payne, consider these gold coins as a treat for all the Xiao family brothers. Don't refuse!"
Payne originally did not plan to accept the Fourth Young Master's money, but Xiao Yu's words were so persuasive that Payne had no choice but to accept it. He thought to himself, "With the Fourth Young Master's temperament, if he leads the Xiao family, not just Wutan City, but the entire Jia ma Empire might include the Xiao family!"
However, Payne soon shook his head. With the Fourth Young Master's talent, how could he be confined to a small city like Wutan? The Xiao family was truly fortunate to have Xiao Yu!
After a whole day of walking around, Xiao Yu and Xun'er were a bit tired. Xiao Yu said to Payne, "Uncle Payne, we'll head back now!"
Payne quickly nodded, "Alright, Fourth Young Master, Miss Xun'er, have a safe journey!"
Xiao Yu and Xun'er nodded slightly and left the marketplace, heading towards the family's residence.
Payne weighed the small bag in his hand, which contained at least five hundred gold coins. The magic core from the Wood Fox only cost four hundred gold coins, and Payne couldn't help but click his tongue, "The Fourth Young Master is indeed generous!"
With a wave of his hand, Payne declared, "Today, the Fourth Young Master is treating us to drinks!" His subordinates immediately cheered.
Xiao Yu and Xun'er, who had not gone far, naturally heard Payne's voice. Xun'er whispered, "Uncle Payne is quite interesting!"
Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "You can't go wrong with someone my father trusts!"
The two of them slowly walked to the family residence. A group of Xiao family members looked at Xiao Yu, who was spending time with their admired goddess, with evident jealousy but felt helpless.
As soon as they entered the family residence, Xiao Yu and Xun'er ran into Xiao Yan. Seeing that Xiao Yan had regained his confidence, Xiao Yu knew that the Old Medic had awakened!
"Brother Yu, I... I want to..." Xiao Yan scratched his head awkwardly.
"Third Brother, are you looking to borrow money?" Xiao Yu asked.
Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised, "How did you know?"
Xiao Yu chuckled, "Does Third Brother have any other matters?"
"No, none!" Xiao Yan shook his head.
Xiao Yu took out a gold card from his pocket. "Here are two thousand gold coins. Is this enough?"
Xiao Yan quickly nodded, "Yes, it's enough!"
Although Xiao Yan was embarrassed, he had no choice but to seek money to strengthen his own abilities. With two thousand gold coins plus some of his savings, it should be enough to buy the herbs required by his teacher.
At that moment, a guard approached Xiao Yu and said, "Fourth Young Master, the clan leader wants to see you immediately!"
Although Xiao Yu didn't know what his father needed, he followed the guard to the Xiao family's study. Xiao Yan went out to buy herbs, and Xun'er returned to her courtyard.
When Xiao Yu opened the study door, he saw his father, Xiao Zhan, and three elders present.
Seeing Xiao Yu enter, the three elders had complex expressions, while Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "Yu'er, you're here. Sit down. I have something to discuss with you!"
Xiao Yu nodded and took a seat. Xiao Zhan continued, "Yu'er, you are now a four-star Dou practitioner. Originally, the family's Fighting Qi Pavilion would only open after the coming-of-age ceremony, but since you have already surpassed the Duo practitioner level, after discussion with the three elders and me, we have decided to open the pavilion for you. What do you think?"
Xiao Yu looked curiously at the three elders, wondering, "Can they really be so kind?" The three elders, hearing Xiao Zhan's cheerful tone, were inwardly fuming, thinking, "It's not like you're not using your position to pressure us into agreeing!" Of course, Xiao Yu's strength was also very important!
The Grand Elder stroked his gray beard and said, "Xiao Yu, your strength is undeniable. Although the coming-of-age ceremony is still two years away, the family isn't rigid. The Fighting Qi Pavilion will open tomorrow. Remember to go early and choose the Fighting Qi techniques that suit you!"
Xiao Zhan nodded in agreement, "Yes, Yu'er, you should also prepare yourself early!"
Xiao Yu nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Back in his room, Xiao Yu didn't think about choosing techniques at the Fighting Qi Pavilion the next day but focused on the half-volume Pill Sutra he had not yet received.
Xiao Yu sat cross-legged on his bed and called the system, clicking to claim the reward. The half-volume Pill Sutra turned into sparkling golden light, scattering into Xiao Yu's mind. Before Xiao Yu could react, a dull pain suddenly surged in his head, followed by a massive influx of knowledge into his brain.
"Ugh!" Xiao Yu grunted in pain, drenched in cold sweat, with veins bulging on his neck. The content of the half-volume Pill Sutra was extensive, and this process lasted for more than ten minutes before the pain gradually subsided.
Exhaling heavily, Xiao Yu focused and began to integrate the content of the Pill Sutra. Soon, he had memorized the entire content of the half-volume Pill sutra.
Opening his eyes, Xiao Yu's gaze sparkled. "The content of this Pill sutra is indeed comprehensive. It not only records many medicinal herbs and their refining methods but even includes scenarios during the refining process, almost like a step-by-step guide to making pills!"
Quickly, Xiao Yu found a potion called Snow Jade Spirit Liquid in his memory. Snow Jade Spirit Liquid is a potion made by combining the essence of various spirit herbs with a Level 1 Wood Magic Core, containing a tremendous amount of pure energy, making it an excellent potion for practicing Dou Qi.
Xiao Yu licked his dry lips and said, "I originally planned to give this Wood Fox magic core to Xiao Yan, but now it seems perfect for learning to refine Snow Jade Spirit Liquid, which will also help with my own cultivation!"
