Divine God Against The Heavens

Ye Xiao returned to the inn he was staying and went to his room.

After returning, Ye Xiao again disappeared from his room and appeared in the Grassland inside the world of the Heavenly Pearl.

Before coming out from the Cloudsmoke Forest, Ye Xiao sent the Little Yellow in the world of the Heavenly Pearl so that it would not attract the attention of anyone.

He looked for Little Yellow in the Grassland for some times but failed to find him so he thought that maybe Little Yellow went to the forest as it was very agitated to go there when it come here for the first time.

Thinking about this, Ye Xiao ignored the matter of Little Yellow as he didn't knew how to call it back here.

Now that he got the Beast Fire as his Fire Soul, Ye Xiao can began to refine the pills. But to refine the pills, he has to have a cauldron. And since, he didn't have the cauldron. he planned to buy it. But to buy a cauldron for refining the medicinal pills, one needed a lot of money.

Ye Xiao again went and arrived in front of the small mountain which was surrounded by the twelve big mountains after crossing the river. There he again saw twelve small caves in the small mountain which leads to the twelve big mountains.

There was still light barrier on the mouth of eleven caves. He went inside the cave which didn't had light barrier. It was the cave which leads to the big mountain which contains the Low Grade Spirit Stone.

Last time when he came here, Ye Xiao mined a total of 1,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. And out of those 1,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones, he auctioned off the 100 spirit stones. So, he was still left with 900 spirit stones.

This time, he again started mining the spirit stones and he came out of the cave after around four hours. This time, he mined a total of 4,100 Low Grade Spirit Stones and after adding the previous 900 spirit stones. He has a total of 5,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. Which was an enormous number for a martial artist of Qi Condensation Realm.

He again mined these many spirit stones because he didn't wanted to come and mine again and again in a short amount of time. He needed to waste much money for refining pills. So, he mined these many spirit stones at once.

After mining the spirit stones, he again returned to the Grassland in hope of seeing Little Yellow there but he was disappointed. So he directly left and again appeared in his room.

Then he went down to eat food and after eating he again left the inn and walked toward the direction of the Alchemist Association.

Sometime later, Ye Xiao reached his destination. He stopped in front of the Alchemist Association. After taking a long breath, he went inside it.

He again saw those raw of shelves, containing many types of medicinal herbs and pills but this time, he was here for buying a cauldron. So, he went to an attendant and asked, "Excuse me, I am here to buy a cauldron. Can you introduce it to me."

Hearing that Ye Xiao was planning to buy a cauldron, that attendant was shocked and hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, are you and alchemist?"

"Not now. But, I will be soon." Ye Xiao gave a bland smile and said.

When the attendant heard this, his smile vanished in thin air and it was replaced with a disdain, "Humph!, We do not sell cauldron in Alchemist Association. We only sell medicinal herbs and pills. If you want to buy these things then say it otherwise go to the Treasury Pavilion. Maybe you can find a cauldron there."

Ye Xiao was shocked after seeing the response of that attendant. That attendant changed his colours as soon as he heard that he was not an alchemist. He couldn't help but praise this ability of the attendant in his heart.

Ye Xiao didn't said anything. He thought that arguing with an attendant is just the waste of time. So he started walking toward the exit of the Alchemist Pavilion.

"Stop."

Just as he was about to exit the door of the Alchemist Association, he heard someone's voice.

He stopped and turned around only to see a healthy old man with a long white beard smiling at him. That old man smiled and said, "Little brother, I heard that you are here to buy a cauldron."

"Grandmaster." As soon as that attendant saw the old man, he respectfully call him out and bowed.

"Is he Grandmaster Wang. Oh my god, am I seeing things."

"No, he really is Grandmaster Wang."

"Isn't he always remains on the top floor, concocting pills each and every day. What is he doing here."

"How would I know about this. But he is talking to that brat. Do you know which family's young master is he."

.....

.....

Hearing the conversation of peoples around him, Ye Xiao also got to know that the old man in front of him is a Grandmaster of alchemy.

Pill refiners were also divided into many categories.

Those who can refine the pills of tier 1, are called Alchemy Apprentice. Those who can refine the pills of tier 2 and tier 3, are called Alchemy master. Those who can refine the pills of tier 4 and tier 5 are called Grandmaster of alchemy. And those who can refine the pills of tier six and above are called the Pill King.

Grandmaster is already a very very rare existence in a small country like Azure Dragon Country. Let alone a Pill King. Many big countries may not have a Pill King.

p Pill Kings are known as a legendry existence because of their rarity. Only a big empire like the Grand Xia Empire has Pill Kings.

So, when Ye Xiao heard that the old man in front of him was a Grandmaster of alchemy, he respectfully cupped his hand and replied, "Grandmaster Wang, I did indeed came here in the hope of buying a caldron. But I didn't knew that the Alchemist Association does not sell cauldrons here. I'm sorry for that. I'll take my leave first."

After finishing his sentence, Ye Xiao turned around and just as he was about to walk toward the exit, he again heard the old man's voice.

"Wait."

"Grandmaster Wang, do you need something." Ye Xiao asked suspiciously.

"We, the Alchemist Association, indeed do not sell cauldron here but I have a spare cauldron on me. It was given to me by my master when I successfully became the Alchemy Master. If you want it then I can give it to you as a gift." Grandmaster Wang smiled gently at Ye Xiao.

When Ye Xiao heard this, he also understood the inner meaning of this so he asked, "And what I need to do to make Grandmaster Wang give that cauldron to me as a gift?"

When Grandmaster Wang heard this, he laughed profoundly and said, "I like a straightforward person like you. Ok, I'll come straight to the point. Become my disciple and I'll give you the cauldron as our meeting gift."

Hiss...

When the crowd heard this, they could not help but take a long breath. Everyone started looking at Ye Xiao with envy and jealousy.

"Who is that kid. Grandmaster Wang wants to take him as his disciple."

"I don't know. But he has to had talent in alchemy. Maybe that's why Grandmaster Wang wants to take him as his disciple."

"Even the Chu Feng of Heaven Sword Sect was refused by the Grandmaster two years ago but now Grandmaster Wang himself said that he wants this kid as his disciple."

....

....

Many people started gossiping among themselves after hearing Grandmaster Wang.

When Ye Xiao heard this, he could not help but become shocked. Many questions started to appear in his mind like...

Why Grandmaster Wang want me as his disciple?

Did he discovered the Heavenly Pearl?

....

"Eh!, Grandmaster Wang, Can I ask a question?" Ye Xiao didn't answered the question of Grandmaster Wang instead he asked for permission to ask a question.

Grandmaster Wang smiled and said, "You can ask."

"Why do you want to take me as your disciple?" Ye Xiao asked his question that was occurring in his mind as soon as the Grandmaster Wang tell him to ask.

"Because, I can feel the fire energy coming out from you. If I'm not wrong then you have just finished absorbing a fire soul right." Grandmaster Wang didn't directly answered him instead he transmitted his voice into Ye Xiao's ear. After all Fire Soul's are very very rare in the Azure Sky Continent and the knowledge about it is also kept confidential by experts.

Ye Xiao was again surprised after hearing this. he nodded his head and said, "Grandmaster Wang is right. Yesterday, I finished absorbing the Beast Fire."
