Chapter 208: Longevity Pill

Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Longevity Pill

Yi Xiaoyao returned to the Seven Kills Star Hall. Just as he got back to his residence, the Black Robe Hall Master rushed over, having heard the news.

"Xiaoyao, you... you’ve actually reached the Nascent Soul Realm!"

When the Black Robe Hall Master saw that Yi Xiaoyao had now broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the shock on his face couldn’t possibly convey the sheer disbelief in his heart.

One had to remember, before Yi Xiaoyao left, he was only at the Golden Core Sixth Realm!

Only a few days had passed, yet he had returned as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?

This speed of cultivation advancement was simply terrifying.

"It seems you’ve had a massive stroke of Creation this time!" the Black Robe Hall Master exclaimed, incredibly happy for Yi Xiaoyao.

Yi Xiaoyao smiled and nodded. "That’s right, the Creation I received was indeed substantial. Hall Master, did you come to tell me something?"

"Oh, I almost forgot. I just came to tell you that your master has left. He said he’s going to return to a peaceful life and that you shouldn’t worry about him," the Black Robe Hall Master relayed.

Yi Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback. He naturally knew the Hall Master was talking about Elder Yan, who had lost his cultivation.

He then nodded. "I understand. Thank you for telling me, Hall Master."

Since his master wanted to return to a peaceful life, Yi Xiaoyao certainly wouldn’t interfere.

After the Black Robe Hall Master left, Yi Xiaoyao stood in his courtyard, his gaze flickering. With a wave of his hand, he summoned Corpse Nineteen from the Extreme Yin Soul Stone.

As soon as Corpse Nineteen saw the sunlight, he fearfully shielded his eyes with his hand. He gradually adjusted to the brightness, then looked around, completely bewildered.

The next moment, he seemed to realize what had happened. He looked at Yi Xiaoyao in disbelief and said joyfully, "My lord, you’ve brought me out of that damned place?"

"How is it? How does it feel to see the light of day again?" Yi Xiaoyao asked with a faint smile.

"It’s wonderful! After nearly a hundred years, I’ve finally returned to the Great Shang Dynasty!" Corpse Nineteen’s face was filled with excitement, but then he sighed. "It’s just a shame that things have changed so much, and the people are all gone."

After a hundred years, a normal person’s lifespan would have long ended. Everyone Corpse Nineteen had known was likely dead.

Yi Xiaoyao looked at him and said, "So, what are your plans now?"

"I want to go back to my family. My younger brother had an elixir that increases one’s lifespan, so he should still be alive," Corpse Nineteen said.

Yi Xiaoyao’s expression changed slightly. He turned to Corpse Nineteen and asked, "An elixir that increases lifespan? Where did it come from?"

"Is my lord also interested in Longevity Pills?"

Corpse Nineteen was surprised for a moment, then explained, "Back then, my brother and I paid a great price for two Longevity Pills. It’s just that I died before I had a chance to use mine. If my lord wants it, I can give mine to you."

Yi Xiaoyao had once asked Dan Jiu for the Pill Formula for a Longevity Pill, but the ingredients to refine it were impossible to find in the Great Shang Dynasty. He had originally planned to look into it again after going to the Great Xia Empire.

But now, Corpse Nineteen was saying he had a Longevity Pill. This brought a jolt of joy to Yi Xiaoyao, who said, "To be honest with you, my master’s lifespan is nearing its end. If you can give me the Longevity Pill, you can name any condition."

"What conditions? My lord, you brought me back to the Great Shang Dynasty. I was just worrying about how to repay you. What’s a single Longevity Pill in comparison?"

Corpse Nineteen gave a sly laugh and added, "I hid that Longevity Pill in an extremely secret place within my family’s estate. Even after all these years, there’s no way anyone else could have found it. However, my lord will have to accompany me to my family’s home to retrieve it."

Yi Xiaoyao quickly nodded in agreement and set off with Corpse Nineteen to his family’s home.

「Half a day later.」

Yi Xiaoyao and Corpse Nineteen appeared before a massive mansion. When he saw the plaque on the gate, his expression turned strange.

"Bo Mansion."

The mansion of the Bo Family, the number one family in the Great Shang Dynasty.

Bo Qianyang, the man Yi Xiaoyao had killed during the previous tournament, was a member of the Bo Family.

’I can’t believe the family Corpse Nineteen was talking about is actually the Bo Family.’

"My lord, what is it?"

Seeing Yi Xiaoyao stop in front of the gate, Corpse Nineteen asked, confused.

Yi Xiaoyao shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "It’s nothing. I just have a feeling that coming with you to get this elixir might be a little troublesome."

After all, Yi Xiaoyao had killed a once-in-a-century genius of the Bo Family. The family had long since come to hate him to the bone.

Corpse Nineteen didn’t know about this, but he nodded and said, "Indeed. None of the younger generation of the Bo Family would recognize me now."

Yi Xiaoyao glanced at Corpse Nineteen, who had become an Yin Corpse. ’If I let this guy enter the Bo Mansion alone, the Bo Family would probably kill him on sight as a monster.’ He realized he had no choice but to go in with him.

Just as the two were about to step into the Bo Mansion, they were stopped by guards.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass in the Bo Mansion!"

The guard glared with hostility at the hideous-looking Corpse Nineteen and shouted coldly.

"I am Yi Xiaoyao."

Yi Xiaoyao announced his name.

The two guards were instantly startled. Even though they spent their years guarding the gate, the name Yi Xiaoyao was as famous as a clap of thunder.

They had also heard about Yi Xiaoyao killing the Bo Family’s genius young master. How could they dare let him into the Bo Mansion?

However, the two guards didn’t dare show any further disrespect. One said, "Please wait a moment. We will go and announce you."

Since Yi Xiaoyao was here to retrieve an elixir, not to cause trouble, he naturally wouldn’t force his way in. He agreed and stood there to wait.

A moment later, a heavy, cold snort came from nearby.

Yi Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow and looked over. He saw the Patriarch of the Bo Family, Bo Yuanhong, striding toward him, fuming as he roared.

"Hmph! Yi Xiaoyao, you murdered my son, Bo Qianyang, and you still have the gall to come to my Bo Mansion in person?"

With a few large strides, Bo Yuanhong reached the gate.

Yi Xiaoyao looked at the man with a cold smile and said, "Patriarch Bo, back then, Bo Qianyang tried to kill me, and I killed him in return. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your son for seeking his own death."

"You!" The fury in Bo Yuanhong’s eyes was about to erupt. If the King of Shang hadn’t ordered them not to lay a hand on Yi Xiaoyao, he would have likely struck him down already to avenge Bo Qianyang.

Yi Xiaoyao said calmly, "I did not come to your esteemed mansion today to cause conflict. I am simply looking for something."

"I think you came here looking for death!"

Bo Yuanhong’s eyes blazed with anger. His son’s killer wanted to come to the Bo Mansion to look for something? It was the biggest joke he’d ever heard.

Just as Yi Xiaoyao frowned, Corpse Nineteen suddenly spoke up. "Have Bo Guzhan come out to see me."

Bo Guzhan was clearly Corpse Nineteen’s younger brother. In the entire Bo Family, he was probably the only one who would recognize Corpse Nineteen now.

But when Bo Yuanhong heard that name, his expression changed abruptly.

"Who are you? How do you know my grandfather’s name?" Bo Yuanhong asked in shock.

One must understand, Bo Guzhan had been in seclusion for decades. Even among the Bo Family’s own members, very few knew of him. His existence was the Bo Family’s greatest secret!

"So you’re Bo Guzhan’s grandson. That makes me your grand-uncle!" Corpse Nineteen said with the air of an elder.

The next moment, Bo Yuanhong erupted in a furious rage.

"You wretched Yin Corpse, how dare you be so insolent to me!"

Bo Yuanhong naturally didn’t believe Corpse Nineteen’s words. He just assumed this Yin Corpse was insulting him.

"You bastard!" Corpse Nineteen roared back in anger.

He was already lamenting how much things had changed, and now his own grand-nephew was calling him a "wretch." How could he not be furious?

Then, Corpse Nineteen turned to Yi Xiaoyao and said, "My lord, this bastard has no respect for his elders! Please, I ask you to teach him a good lesson!"

"Teach me a lesson? With him? Ridiculous!"

Hearing this, Bo Yuanhong laughed in fury. He immediately unleashed a torrent of majestic Spiritual Power and the oppressive might of the Nascent Soul Fifth Realm, enveloping both Yi Xiaoyao and Corpse Nineteen.

"Yi Xiaoyao, I was originally holding back out of respect for the King of Shang. But since you’ve come to my doorstep to provoke me, I will kill you and this wretch to avenge my son!"

A strange smile tugged at the corner of Yi Xiaoyao’s lips. He responded to Corpse Nineteen, "If that’s the case, then I’ll help you teach this junior of yours a lesson."
