All the elders of the Zhu Family were gathered in the great hall. When the Pill King Zhu who is also the great elder of the Zhu Family asked the patriarch of the Zhu Family if the decision they are making by letting Ye Xiao enter the Infernal Phoenix Plane is right or not, the patriarch of the Zhu Family replied, "Great elder, He did not even take the fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stone that we put as a reward."
"He only took the Crystal Ink Fruit. He said he came here only for the Crystal Ink Fruit so he will only take the Crystal Ink Fruit as the reward. A person who does not become greedy for such a high amount of spirit stones, I think he can also control his greed for 'that thing' inside the Infernal Phoenix Plane."
"What is more, it is still unclear if he can get his hands on that thing or not. After all, to get 'that thing', he has to first pass the test our ancestor had left behind, and the test is not easy at all."
The Great Elder of the Zhu Family nodded his head after hearing this. Then he thought over what the patriarch of the Zhu Family said and a strange light lit up in his eyes.
"Maybe... he is the one!" Pill King Zhu muttered in a very low voice and said, "Patriarch, I think we should call him here!"
The patriarch of the Zhu Family nodded his head and sent a person to call Ye Xiao over here.
.....
Ye Xiao just came out from the Heavenly Pearl when a person knocked on the door and told him that the patriarch was calling him.
Ye Xiao followed behind that person and arrived at the Great Hall of the Zhu Family where all the elders were present.
"Great Elder, he is the one!" The patriarch of the Zhu family pointed at Ye Xiao and said to the Pill King Zhu.
"He really is the one!" The Great Elder of the Zhu Family stood up and mumbled in his head. He still remembered the body features described by the Pill King Xuan Feng.
"So, it turns out that he himself is the Pill King!" Pill King Zhu again muttered in a low voice.
Considering everything, he guessed that Ye Xiao himself is the Pill King. Ye Xiao's cultivation was even higher than the Pill King Zhu and not only that, he actually remembers the formula to refine the Ice Heart Pill. How can such a person not be the Pill King?
"No, it is impossible!"
Pill King Zhu suddenly remembered that Ye Xiao has refined a mystical rank weapon for the young lady of the Zhu family. If he really was a Pill King then how could he refine a mystical rank weapon.
How can such a young man be both a Pill King and a Top Weapon Craftsman?
"Young Master Ye Xiao, there is something important we are going to talk about. I hope that after going out, you can keep this matter confidential." The patriarch of the Zhu Family said with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry about that!" Ye Xiao nodded and said.
"This is our Great Elder who is also a Pill King." The patriarch of the Zhu Family introduced the Great Elder who nodded his head with a smile toward Ye Xiao.
Pill King Zhu said, "Young Master Ye Xiao, we are going to talk about something that is considered the top secret as well as the greatest treasure of our Zhu Family."
Ye Xiao's ears were pricked as he nodded his head. Seeing this, Pill King Zhu continued to say, "There is a place called the Infernal Phoenix Plane. It was left behind by our Ancestor, the founder of the Zhu Family around three thousand years ago. Our Ancestor was someone who stood at the peak of Holy Beast Island when he was still alive."
"He wanted to make another breakthrough in his cultivation and become an Immortal, but unfortunately, he failed. He failed to make another breakthrough in his cultivation and was seriously injured. He knew that his end was near so he made the Infernal Phoenix Plane and left something very important inside."
"That important thing is known as the Infernal Phoenix Seed. I think you might already know what an Infernal Phoenix Seed actually is."
Ye Xiao nodded his head when the Pill King Zhu asked if he knew about the Infernal Phoenix Seed or not.
Infernal Phoenix Seed is said to be one of the greatest treasures that a world could give birth to. If one were to swallow the Infernal Phoenix Seed, they will definitely explode because of the high amount of fire energy.
It is said that the Infernal Phoenix Seed can grant a person with a fire elemental body, evolve their bodies, and turn the fire elemental body into a sacred body. It can also provide an endless amount of fire energy and not only that, but the Infernal Phoenix Seed can also evolve a normal fire into a Fire Soul. It can even evolve the grade of a Fire Soul.
There are many usages of an Infernal Phoenix Seed, mainly for an alchemist. It is said that even with millions of High-Grade Spirit Stones, one can not buy a single Infernal Phoenix Seed. It can not be bought with money. One can only get their hands on the Infernal Phoenix Seed by luck.
Pill King Zhu once again said, "Our ancestor left behind an Infernal Phoenix Seed as well as his inheritance inside the Infernal Phoenix Plane. Infernal Phoenix Plane can also be called a half Secret Realm. There is a restriction placed on the gate of the Infernal Phoenix Plane. Only Fifth Stage Martial Ancestor Realm martial artists or above can enter the Infernal Phoenix Plane."
"Our Zhu Family never had any Fifth Stage or above Martial Ancestor Realm martial artist beside the founder of our Zhu Family. So we never get the chance to enter the Infernal Phoenix Plane and obtain the inheritance as well as the Infernal Phoenix Seed left behind by our ancestor."
"So we request you to enter the Infernal Phoenix Plane and get us the Infernal phoenix Seed. As for the Inheritance left behind by our ancestor, we request you to leave it as it is. In the future, disciples of our Zhu family can get the inheritance if they ever cultivated to the Fifth Stage of the Martial Ancestor realm or above."
"Please get us the Infernal Phoenix Seed and in return, you can ask for anything. Be it spirit stones, rare herbs, or anything you want, we will try our best to fulfil your requirement."
After pill King Zhu told this, he started to wait for Ye Xiao's answer.
Ye Xiao also fell deep in thought. From what the Pill King Zhu told him, he will enter the Infernal Phoenix Plane, obtain the Infernal Phoenix Seed, and then give it to the Zhu Family. He can not even obtain the inheritance left behind the ancestor of the Zhu family.
How can someone agree to such a condition where there is no benefit at all. But they did tell him that the Zhu family will try their best to fulfil his requirements. Although he did not need anything from the Zhu Family, but he may find something inside the Infernal Phoenix plane that the Zhu family has no idea about. After all the Zhu family has existed for more than three thousand years. This is a very long period of time.
And there is also the Infernal Phoenix Seed. If he can get the Infernal Phoenix Seed, his fire soul can again evolve. But the Zhu family wants the Infernal Phoenix Seed. Only because they put their trust in him did they told him about the Infernal Phoenix Seed otherwise there was no reason for them to tell him about such an important matter.
Finally, after thinking for a while, Ye Xiao said, "Ok, I agree but I have a condition."
"Please tell us your condition!" Pill King Zhu nodded his head and asked for his condition. He also knew how the world works. How can someone do anything for anyone if he does not get any benefit?
Ye Xiao said, "After coming out from the Infernal Phoenix Land, I will enter your treasury to choose the thing I want. If you agree then I promise to enter the Infernal Phoenix Land and get the Infernal Phoenix Seed to you."
Hearing this, Pill King Zhu frowned a little. After discussing this with the patriarch and other elders, he finally nodded his head and said, "We agree with your condition."
"Prior to that, I should tell you that our ancestor has set up some kind of test. You have to pass the test to get your hands on the Infernal Phoenix Seed. As for what that test is, even we don't know anything about that."
