Soul Emperor Martial God

"Pfft." Xiao Yi once again violently spat out several mouthfuls of bloody spittle.

The blow from the elder of the Blood Mist Valley had indeed been powerful.

"Purple Flame, are you alright?" the Sub Hall Master and Northern Mountain County King asked anxiously.

Xiao Yi waved his hand, forcibly suppressing his injuries, and said, "It's nothing serious."

Both men breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, the Great Elder glanced at Xiao Yi and smiled.

"So this is the famous Purple Flame Yi Xiao," he remarked.

"Indeed, meeting someone in person is better than hearing of them."

"To be able to withstand a blow from a Heavenly Element Realm expert, your Cultivation is truly remarkable," he added.

"Ah, right," the Sub Hall Master suddenly asked.

"Hasn't your junior brother left Northern Mountain County?"

The Great Elder laughed and said, "Yes, he left."

"That was just to scare Elder Xue just now."

"He thought Shiyi was about to come."

"However, even without Shiyi here, Blood Mist Valley wouldn't dare cause trouble in Northern Mountain County."

"Come over here and help Purple Flame heal up," the Northern Mountain County King instructed.

"You're the Great Elder of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect; you must know a little about the art of refining."

The Great Elder shook his head and said, "I don't have time to stay here any longer."

"I must hurry to inform the young man Xiao Yi," he added.

"He must head immediately to the Sword Sect, lest we have more problems at night."

Having said that, the Great Elder's figure flashed, and he left instantaneously.

"That guy," both the Sub Hall Master and the Northern Mountain County King rolled their eyes.

"Purple Flame, don't take it to heart," they said.

"That old fellow just cares too much for the Northern Mountain Sword Master."

"I also have a Fifth-grade Alchemist with me," continued the Sub Hall Master.

"I'll order him to come and heal you right away."

"There's no need," said Xiao Yi, shaking his head, "Your Highness forgets that I am a Pharmacist myself."

"Oh, right," the Northern Mountain County King laughed.

"You lad are a Sixth-grade Alchemist, quite impressive."

"Your Highness flatters me," Xiao Yi smiled.

"Speaking of which, about what the Great Elder of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect said just now."

"His junior brother, Shiyi, seems to have a deep grudge against the Blood Mist Valley."

"Alas," the Northern Mountain County King sighed.

"It's a serious grudge."

"In the past, Yi Tianxing was unparalleled in both the Sword Dao and the art of refining," he continued.

"Not just in Northern Mountain County, but throughout the entire Flame Martial Kingdom, he was a supreme genius."

"He was our pride in Northern Mountain County."

"What a pity..."

The Northern Mountain County King was about to continue speaking.

The Sub Hall Master coughed twice.

The Northern Mountain County King quickly shut his mouth.

"Forget it, it's not our place to speak of others' affairs," he said.

Xiao Yi nodded and did not ask any further.

"By the way, Purple Flame," the Sub Hall Master suddenly asked.

"When you were dealing with Xue Wushang just now, it seemed like you said a lot."

"From what I know about you lad, you're not one who likes to talk much."

"Hehe," Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "I was just teaching him a lesson because he was too arrogant."

Indeed, when Xiao Yi fought as Yi Xiao, he did not like to speak much.

Once he spoke more than usual,

It meant that he certainly had a scheme in mind.

Of course, Xiao Yi did not explain too much.

"Sub Hall Master, I plan to set out for the Royal Capital in a couple of days," Xiao Yi suddenly said.

"Oh? So soon?" the Sub Hall Master asked, puzzled.

"There is still a month and a half until the Royal Capital's alchemy competition."

"Although Northern Mountain County is remotely located,"

"There are about twenty commanderies distance to the Royal Capital"

"But with your speed, it would take at most ten days to arrive," he added.

"No need to rush this moment, right?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "The Blood Mist Valley will be coming for me soon."

"I don't want to stay in Northern Mountain County; I want to head to the Royal Capital as soon as possible."

"What?" the Sub Hall Master was taken aback.

"Lad, you're overthinking things," he said.

"People from the Blood Mist Valley shouldn't dare to cause trouble again."

"No," Xiao Yi said firmly, "They definitely will."

Xiao Yi's tone was very certain.

"This..." the Sub Hall Master hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright."

"You lad just don't want to engage in battle with them in Northern Mountain County, right?"

"In that case, come and heal at my Demon Hunting Hall first."

"After the healing, I have something for you," he added.

"After that, you can depart for the Royal Capital without delay."

"Alright," Xiao Yi nodded.

...

Upon arriving at the Demon Hunting Hall,

The Sub Hall Master brought over two Qiankun Bags.

"What does this mean, Sub Hall Master?" Xiao Yi asked with a frown.

"Take them," the Sub Hall Master grinned.

"This time, thanks to you dealing with Xue Wushang,

"We were able to save me, to buy us some time,"

"Allowing the Great Elder of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect enough time to arrive and ward off the Blood Mist Valley,"

"Also, sparing the Northern Mountain Sword Master from having to face the elder of the Blood Mist Valley head-on," he explained.

"Both publicly and privately, I owe you a reward," he continued.

The Sub Hall Master went on, "These two Qiankun Bags."

"One is from me."

"And the other was brought by the Commandery Prince," he said.

"That guy is always generous, so don't be shy."

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment before accepting.

"Then, Yi Xiao thanks you both."

Xiao Yi glanced inside to find a large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Demon Beast Cores, and Essence Blood.

It seemed that the Sub Hall Master and the Northern Mountain County King knew he needed these materials in large quantities last time.

So, they had sent these things to him again this time.

At that moment, the Sub Hall Master said, "In the back hall, there is a special seclusion room."

"You can go there to heal with peace of mind."

"No one will disturb you before that."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Thank you."

...

The Demon Hunting Hall's seclusion room was similar to the Sky-splitting Sword Sect's seclusion room.

It was empty on all four sides, with only a meditation cushion in the center.

Spiritual Energy was abundant.

The ideal place for quiet cultivation or healing.

If outsiders wanted to enter the seclusion room, they would have to break in by force.

Or unless the person in seclusion chose to come out on their own.

...

Without hesitation, Xiao Yi first stabilized his injuries.

Then, he immediately began refining elixirs.

This time, the Sub Hall Master and the Northern Mountain County King had given him a sizable quantity of cores and Essence Blood.

Xiao Yi quickly refined them into Pure Elixirs.

This time, Xiao Yi did not swallow them.

Instead, he directly absorbed them with his hands, drawing all the medicinal power into his body.

Once at the Mystic Breakthrough Ninth Layer of Cultivation,

He could control many techniques through the Small World.

Absorbing the power of the elixirs with his hands was a minor task.

In just a short while,

The mountainous pile of elixirs,

Had vanished into thin air in Xiao Yi's hands.

The medicinal power, all turned into pure medicinal energy, reached directly into the inner Small World.

As before,

Almost all of the power was absorbed by the Ice Phoenix Sword, used to repair its cracks.

Only less than one ten-thousandth of that power was absorbed by the Golden Core Embryo.

At this rate, for Xiao Yi to fully form the Golden Core and achieve the Earth Origin Realm seemed to be an infinitely distant goal.

Xiao Yi shook his head, not dwelling on it.

Instead, he immediately swallowed the Demon Beast Essence Blood.

At the same time, he cultivated the Asura Battle Body.

Before long,

The 8 drops of Asura Power within his body had increased by 2 drops.

A total of 10 drops.

Xiao Yi's physical body instantly broke through to the Earth Origin Realm.

"Earth Element First Layer." Xiao Yi clenched his fist, feeling the explosive Physical Strength.

"With this, I'm even more confident about this time."

Xiao Yi suddenly smiled, as if he had anticipated facing some matter.

After all the elixirs and Essence Blood had been consumed,

Xiao Yi took out his own Healing Pills and quickly swallowed them.

He began to heal himself, assuming an odd stance.

It was one of the Xingyi Five Extremes, the Crane Form.

Two days and two nights later,

Xiao Yi's injuries had finally healed.

Xiao Yi's Healing Elixirs were all of a Perfect Level,

Coupled with the Crane Form.

It still took a full two days to recover from his injuries.

One could imagine how severe the injury from Elder Xue of Blood Mist Valley had been.

If it had been anyone else, they might not have recovered even after a month.

...

After leaving the seclusion room,

Xiao Yi sought out the Sub Hall Master.

To find the Sub Hall Master had already been waiting for him.

"Are your injuries healed?" asked the Sub Hall Master with a smile.

"They are healed," Xiao Yi nodded.

"Impressive, truly worthy of being Purple Flame Yi Xiao, a genius alchemist," praised the Sub Hall Master.

"Such serious injuries and yet, you've healed so quickly."

With that, the Sub Hall Master took out something from his bosom.

It was a letter of recommendation and a Token.

"For your trip to the Royal Capital, head to the Main Hall first."

"This is my recommendation for your appointment as Sub Hall Master."

"And the Hall Master Token representing the Northern Mountain County Demon Hunting Hall."

"Sub Hall Master?" Xiao Yi was surprised.

"Hehe, what's there to be surprised about?" the Sub Hall Master said with a laugh.

"You are already the Chief Steward."

"With your current ability and your contributions to the Demon Hunting Hall, you are fully qualified to be a Sub Hall Master."

"However, you need to go to the Main Hall for your position to be conferred."

"After passing the assessment, you can serve as one."

Indeed, the Sub Hall Master had intended to give Xiao Yi this recommendation letter and Token.

Xiao Yi thought for a moment, then took the Token.

He then bowed to the Sub Hall Master, saying, "Thank you, Sub Hall Master."

"Yi Xiao will be departing immediately, so I will not stay long."

"Go ahead, be careful on your journey," the Sub Hall Master advised.

Xiao Yi nodded.

Then, with a flash of his figure, he left in an instant.

First update.
