Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 773: Chapter 773: Make a Patron_1

Once, Si Kong Zun, the Heavenly King Sect Master, invited the Princess to attend a birthday feast, but she rejected him, albeit with polite excuses, yet she would not go.

The woman who dared to refuse even a personal invitation from Si Kong Zun was now actually following a youth step by step—no wonder everyone was surprised.

If it were said that Princess Emma Ya Cloud suddenly became smitten with this fierce-looking youth, it might have been understandable.

After all, the thoughts of a woman are hard to guess.

But the uncle of the Holy Son, the second-ranked alchemist on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, also showed a flattering smile to the youth, which was truly incomprehensible.

As the second-ranked alchemist on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, this royal uncle’s status was second only to the Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord. Plus, being of the royal family, his position was extremely distinguished, and everyone had to give him some respect.

Even the Sacred Emperor had to refer to this older man respectfully as ”Royal Uncle.”

Yet here was such a formidable person, revealing a flattering smile to a youth—it was simply unbelievable.

Everyone felt as if they were seeing things or hallucinating.

They rubbed their eyes, but the scene before them remained the same.

Golden Light Heavenly Lord, Si Kong Xuan, Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord, and others could not help but look towards the youth who was being flattered by these two.

They were curious to know who this person was. Could his status possibly be higher than that of the Holy Son?

But what made them even more baffled was the fact that this youth didn’t have a high cultivation level and was not particularly handsome. Plus, they had never seen him before. What exactly was his background?

They looked at each other, utterly clueless.

In the end, it was the Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord who stepped forward first and asked with a somewhat indifferent expression, ”Princess, Fourth Prince, are you two seeing off a guest?”

Princess Emma Ya Cloud smiled and said, ”Yes, seeing off a distinguished guest.”

She didn’t deny it.

”Distinguished guest?”

Si Kong Xuan scoffed, ”Princess, you once refused the invitation of my elder brother Si Kong Zun. Could this plain-looking youth really be more distinguished than my brother?”

He was feeling annoyed inside.

After suffering a major price before, and now witnessing this scene, he had some anger to vent.

”Si Kong Xuan, you’d best be more respectful in your speech. Others may fear Si Kong Zun, but we do not! Do you truly think your cultivation at the Yin-Yang Realm makes you invincible? The world is vast indeed.”

Princess Emma Ya Cloud said coldly, ”His eminence is not something you can comprehend.”

Hearing this, the crowd was even more astonished.

What did this mean? Who could be more respected by this woman than Si Kong Zun?

Was there really such a person on the Heavenly Dragon Continent?

Or was he from another continent?

”Is this senior from the Moon Hua Sect?”

While everyone was still in shock, the unremarkable-looking youth spoke up. His voice carried a mix of gentleness and arrogance.

Golden Light Heavenly Lord looked at the youth in confusion, certain that he did not know him.

Nevertheless, he nodded and said, ”Indeed, I am the Golden Light Heavenly Lord from the Moon Hua Sect.”

Being someone whom both the Fourth Prince and Princess Emma Ya Cloud treated with utmost respect, Golden Light Heavenly Lord naturally did not want to offend nor dared to offend him.

The youth smiled and said, ”Your sect’s Ling Xiao is not bad. I recently met him deep in the Fulong Mountain Range, and my master couldn’t stop praising him. He even bestowed upon him some pills.”

So the Transcendent Pills of perfect grade in Ling Xiao’s hand were gifts from someone else!

Golden Light Heavenly Lord suddenly realized.

”So there is a reason for Ling Xiao to say that. If people knew that those pills were refined by him, it would bring a lot of trouble,” he thought.

And the trouble might not necessarily be aimed at harming him.

If someone wanted his help, particularly if that someone was an acquaintance, what would you do, help or not to help?

Help one, and there’ll be a bunch more, becoming an endless nuisance, possibly leaving no time for cultivation.

If you don’t help, it could damage the relationship.

So it’s better to keep a low profile and pin the blame on a nonexistent person.

”What a pity that Ling Xiao isn’t here today; I would have loved to catch up with him,” he said regretfully.

The youth smiled slightly, feeling it was about time, and turned back to bow to Yun Ya and the Fourth Prince, saying, ”I shall take my leave now, you both have guests to attend to, so no need to see me out.”

After he finished speaking, before Yun Ya could respond, his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

In fact, the one who came to collect the Spirit Stones and medicinal materials was just Ling Xiao’s Martial Soul Avatar, which would disappear once recalled.

But the others did not know this, and witnessing such a divine occurrence, they were all dumbfounded and astounded.

No sooner had Ling Xiao left than Yun Ya excitedly turned to Golden Light Heavenly Lord and said, ”It turns out this person knows our sect’s Ling Xiao; this is truly wonderful.”

The Golden Light Heavenly Lord, puzzled, inquired, ”What exactly does this young man do?”

Yun Ya replied with excitement, ”The Perfect Grade Transcendent Pill that was presented earlier was refined by this person’s master. Knowing him, the Moon Hua Sect will be blessed from now on.”

What!

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and astonished.

But after a moment, their expressions changed again.

Golden Light Heavenly Lord and Lan Yu’er were overjoyed, with happiness written all over their faces.

On the other hand, Si Kong Xuan and others wore faces full of jealousy and sighs.

According to the Fourth Prince, the young man’s Alchemist master might be even more formidable than Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord.

Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord was already regarded as the number one Alchemist on the Heavenly Dragon Continent, receiving the attention and adoration of all Martial Artists.

Someone more powerful than Marvellous Hand Heavenly Lord, once befriended, what would that mean?

Contemplating this, amidst their intense jealousy, Si Kong Xuan and the others showed expressions of resentment.

There was no help for it; now that the Moon Hua Sect was under the protection of the Imperial Auction House, targeting them had become much more difficult.

Meanwhile, Ling Xiao had already slipped out of the auction house and arrived in a secluded part of the Holy City, where he reverted to his original appearance.

The act he had just put on was nothing more than a spur-of-the-moment decision, intended to elevate the status of the Moon Hua Sect.

The higher your status, the more allies you have, and the more hesitant others will be to act against you, ensuring your safety.

Having reverted to his original appearance, Ling Xiao hastened back to the Moon Hua Sect residence, where only a few guarding disciples remained; the rest must have gone out.

Once Ling Xiao was back in his room, he set a barrier outside before confidently taking out the medicinal materials.

The Purple Leaf Snow Lotus was shimmering with purple light all over. With its five petals, each representing a hundred years, it was a five-hundred-year-old lotus, brimming with chilling energy, clearly holding immense power at first glance.

The Heavenly Pulse Spiritual Fruit resembled a banana but was blood-red all over and about three inches long. Even from a great distance, one could sniff the strong metallic scent it emitted.

Normally, where this fruit grew, there would also be a guardian beast, as formidable as a Heavenly Pulse Warrior. Acquiring it without a fierce battle was nearly impossible.

The most crucial ingredient for the Heavenly Pulse Pill was this Heavenly Pulse Spiritual Fruit, and it had to be a millennial one; otherwise, the effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
