In just a few hours, the not very prosperous Little Orchid Town suddenly became very lively. Many cultivators gathered here. There were many Martial King Realm and Martial Emperor Realm cultivators gathered including some Martial Ancestor realm cultivators.
On the streets, cultivators could be seen everywhere.
At the same time, a piece of news related to a Ten Thousand Years Old Ice Lotus had also quietly spread out.
For the following few days, Ye Xiao visited various Taverns and indirectly asked for information regarding the Ice Lotus.
The information he received was there used to be an ice mountain range not far away from the Little Orchid Town. But somehow it melted and turned into a large ice lake with water-type Magical Beasts in it. Someone found an Ice Lotus at the bottom of the lake and it was five thousand years old.
This was the most complete piece of information that Ye Xiao received. It gave him a fright.
A five thousand years old Ice Lotus was something extraordinary. With the dense amount of spirit energy of Heaven and Earth, even if it was swallowed directly, it would still increase a cultivator's strength by a large margin.
Ice Lotus is a rank six medicinal herb and if he were to plant it on the Second Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda, it will evolve and become a Seventh Grade Medicinal Herb. It will be of great use to him at that time.
"No wonder so many people at the Martial Ancestor Realm came as well. They are obviously here for the Ice Lotus." Ye Xiao muttered in his heart.
Five thousand years old Ice Lotus. It contains extremely dense spirit energy. Once one absorbs and refine it, one will definitely be able to breakthrough.
On this day, Ye Xiao was again eating at the same tavern when he heard the sound of many people's footsteps.
"Young Master Fei, Young Master Cang, Young Master Lu, please come in. This is the Tavern I was talking about." A voice came out from outside the Tavern, following that, a few people walked in.
The person in the lead was a young man wearing violet clothes. After sweeping a glance at the crowd of customers, he frowned slightly and shouted, "Scram!"
The Tavern was not big, only seven to eight tables were filled. The person who came was tyrannical, he did not say much. He just opened his mouth to order everyone to scram.
Everyone's face changed. Someone slapped the table, stood up, and said coldly, "Who do you think you are..."
However, before he could finish speaking, his mouth was stuffed with food by a person beside him. He smiled apologetically at the young man and said, "Young Master Zhao, I'm sorry. We'll leave now."
With that, he looked at his friend and said unhappily, "Keep your eyes open, this is Young Master Zhao."
With that, he hurriedly left with his group of friends.
The Zhao Family is one of the hegemons of Little Orchid Town and it is also the biggest power in the area of hundreds of kilometers.
They had easily chased all the experts in the Tavern away.
As Ye Xiao sat next to the window, he was too lazy to bother with this kind of young master.
Young Master Zhao was very domineering to other people, but he lowered his head and bent over, smiling at the people behind him.
Young Master Zhao was leading three young men respectfully while seven or eight people were following behind the three young men. One of them was very young and arrogant. He didn't even bother to look at the people around him.
There was another person dressed in a white robe, with a gentle smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
"Pah!"
A piece of Spirit Stone streaked across the sky in an arc and smashed onto the table Ye Xiao was sitting on. The table shook and the wine in the cup spilled out.
"Go, tie up our mounts." A middle-aged man spoke coldly, he was extremely arrogant and did not even look at Ye Xiao.
"Be careful, don't be eaten by the Magical Beasts." Someone let out a strange laugh, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
As for three young men that young master Zhao brought here, they did not even spare a glance at Ye Xiao. Young Master Zhao brought the three young men to the side.
"Kid, why aren't you going?" As they sat, one of them suddenly couldn't help but shout when he saw that Ye Xiao had yet to move.
"Don't tell me you think of it as a small amount of money? Brat, he only told you to tie up a Magical Beast." Another young man also shouted at Ye Xiao.
These were all young masters from the Little Orchid Town.
"Humph, I've seen too many of these kinds of trash. It's because we are rich, he just wants more Spirit Stones. One of the three young men called Fei Hou swept his eyes across Ye Xiao with extreme disdain.
"If he thinks one Spirit Stone is too little, then give him another Spirit Stone. Why waste time talking with a person like him?" Another young man called Cang Meng smiled faintly and said without even looking at Ye Xiao.
"That's right, why should I lower myself to the same level as this brat? I'll give you one more Spirit Stone." This time, it was the third young man called Lu Kai who suddenly took action, and a streak of white light struck towards Ye Xiao's face.
This was the light that a Spirit Stone emits. It was very fast, and although there was no killing intent, if it really landed on a Martial King Realm martial artist, it would at least break off a piece of flesh.
"Pah!"
Ye Xiao's hands suddenly moved and the Spirit Stone was lightly held in his hand. After that, Ye Xiao stood up and left. He did not say anything to these people from the very beginning.
Being able to so easily defend against the thrown Spirit Stone caused a few of them to have a strange look on their faces. Although Lu Kai did not use his spirit energy, it was still not something that a small Martial King Realm martial artist could block.
"You do have some skill. To be able to catch the spirit stone like that, I wonder how long you have practiced that move for."
Some of the people on the side sneered. Other than Young Master Zhao, there were a few other young masters from other families who were not powerful.
"Come, come. Young Master Fei, Young Master Cang, Young Master Lu, let's drink." Young Master Zhao raised his wine cup toward the three young masters.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, the earth trembled like an earthquake. Even the Tavern was trembling, the table shook, and the wine in the cup spilled out.
"Hiss!"
The Black Scaled Horses roared like an uprising was happening and caused a wave of commotion.
"Crazy, these Wind Chasing Horses have gone crazy." Outside of the Tavern, a panicked voice sounded.
"Haha, it must be that kid who went to tie Wind Chasing Horses. He really is an idiot, a mere Martial King Realm martial artist really think that he can tie up the Wind Chasing Horse." At the wine table, someone sneered. His expression filled with disdain.
"Rumble!"
The ground was still shaking as if ten thousand horses were galloping. A rumbling sound could be heard and the distance between them became longer and farther apart.
"That's not right."
Hearing the sounds, Lu Kai frowned, he felt that the situation was not good.
"The Wind Chasing Horses footwork is very orderly, it does not look panicked at all. Not good, he took our Wind Chasing Horses away." Cang Meng suddenly stood up, and his expression became extremely ugly.
"It must be that kid." Fei Hou was no longer calm.
"Damn it, in my Little Orchid Town, he dares to have any ideas about the Young Master's stuff? He is simply courting death. Even if I have to search the entire town, I want to find this guy who ate the guts of a leopard." Young Master Zhao stood up in fury and shouted.
After that, they didn't even pay for the food or wine anymore. They turned around and walked out of the Tavern.
Sure enough, the outside was empty, the boy from before, together with the Wind Chasing Horses, had disappeared.
"Fuuu!"
A short flute appeared in Lu Kai's hand, and he blew it with his mouth, producing a sharp sound.
"Screech!"
Not long after the sound of the flute echoed, birds' cry echoed out. There were a total of three of them. As they flapped their wings, it stirred up a strong wind, causing a wave of disturbance.
These birds were Yellow-Feathered Eagles.
On the back of the Yellow-Feathered Eagle were the few Martial Emperor Realm experts that Lu Kai had brought with him.
