"Thank you very much." Ye Xiao cupped his fists in thanks to Huo Qing. Although he was not sure why Huo Qing helped him, he remembered this favour. Right now, he could not repay Huo Qing in any way.
"It's just a small task, what's there to worry about?" Huo Qing waved his hand. "Plus, this time, I'm not the one helping you. There is someone else helping you."
"Oh?" Ye Xiao's brows twitched as he asked, "Is it the City Lord?"
As the commander of the Blue Wind City city's defense forces, Huo Qing was directly under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion. If there really was someone who could get him to move, then it would only be the City Lord.
"Exactly, my master wishes to meet with you." Huo Qing stared at Ye Xiao and said.
"Then please lead the way, Commander." Ye Xiao's expression was very calm but his heart was confused. Why did this City Lord want to see him?
Seeing that Ye Xiao did not resist, the smile on Huo Qing's face became gentler. After which, he swiftly turned around and led the way. As for the city guards, they continued their missions to guard the Blue Wind City.
Ye Xiao looked at these soldiers who were extremely cold and stern with killing intent and he could not help but be amazed. This Blue Wind City was not located in a border city and was considered to be inland. To have such trained soldiers, it was extremely rare. From this, it could be seen how competent Huo Qing was as a commander.
After walking for half an hour, they finally stopped in front of a mansion.
"Sir, this is the City Lord's Mansion. My master is waiting for you inside. I still have a mission to complete, so I'll be taking my leave first. " Huo Qing pointed at the majestic mansion in front of them.
"Yes." Ye Xiao nodded and saluted Huo Qing before walking towards the mansion.
"Creak!"
Just when Ye Xiao walked in front of the door, the wide door opened. A middle-aged scholar with a feather fan and a jade crown on his head walked out from inside: "Little Brother, please follow me."
The scholar turned around and walked inside with Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao followed him. They walked through a corridor, a large courtyard, a lake, and then entered a rather luxurious building. This was the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Pushing the door open, Ye Xiao saw a square-faced middle-aged man sitting in the middle seat.
"Little brother, this is our City Lord." The middle-aged scholar softly said.
Ye Xiao nodded. He was not too moved. Firstly, he had already guessed it. Secondly, the identity of the other party did not seem to have much to do with him. What he really wanted to know was why this city lord had invited him here.
"As expected of a young hero. With just the strength of only one person, you were actually able to kill so many people of the Bai Family. Many of them were even at the Immortal Lord Realm, truly incredible." Feng Wuji swept his gaze over Ye Xiao and could not help but exclaim in surprise. After all, Ye Xiao really looked too young to be able to achieve such a feat!
"City Lord is too kind, I was just lucky." Ye Xiao said calmly.
"Hur hur!" Feng Wuji laughed lightly. Then, his expression suddenly became serious and the imposing aura of a half-step Immortal King Realm martial artist pressed down. The entire space suddenly became heavy, a thick and heavy pressure pressing down on Ye Xiao.
Facing this pressure that was as heavy as a mountain, Ye Xiao's eyes slightly fluctuated at first, but he instantly calmed down. He was as steady as a mountain under the pressure of that terrifying aura.
In just a moment, that heavy pressure also disappeared. Feng Wuji looked at Ye Xiao with a serious and appreciative expression.
The aura that he just release and the pressure created by his aura was not something an ordinary martial artist could resist. Even a martial artist at the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm will find it difficult to resist his pressure. However, Ye Xiao was able to resist it. Furthermore, it was very easy for him so he had to ignore it and retract back his aura.
"City Lord, I believe you didn't invite me here to show me your prowess." Ye Xiao looked at Feng Wuji calmly and said.
"That's right, I have a request. If you can accomplish this, I promise to give you great fortune." Feng Wuji looked at Ye Xiao and said.
Ye Xiao slightly frowned then he said, "I'm afraid that my strength is too weak to help the City Lord."
Feng Wuji smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said, "Little brother, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. First, listen to the good fortune that I am going to give you."
Ye Xiao's eyebrows twitched. He didn't expect Feng Wuji to say that.
"If you are at the Early Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm, this good fortune I am going to give you can help you break through directly to the Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm and won't have any side effects." On the side, Feng Wuji said.
"What?" Ye Xiao suddenly raised his head. His pair of calm eyes were filled with shock. What he urgently needed right now was something that could help one raise their strength so that he can devour the spirit energy from them. It will speed up the recreation of his Small World. Now that City Lord Feng Wuji was promising him to give such a thing, how could he not be surprised by such a good matter?
He wanted to reform his Small World as soon as possible and doing so would require a huge amount of Spirit Energy. Hunting Immortal Beasts to devour will take a very long time, so if he wanted to achieve something like reforming his Small World in the shortest time possible, he has to get something else, some natural treasures filled with spirit energy.
Feng Wuji had a smile on his face as well as a satisfied expression after seeing the reaction of Ye Xiao.
"Phew!" Ye Xiao let out a long breath and looked at Feng Wuji who was smiling. He then sighed and said, "City Lord, I really can't reject the good fortune that you have promised to give me. Now, can you tell me what you want me to do?"
"I wonder if you have heard of Nature's Chakra?" Feng Wuji stared at the young man in front of him and smiled.
"Nope!" Ye Xiao shook his head honestly.
Upon seeing this, Feng Wuji was speechless but he immediately laughed softly. He did not mind and continued: "The so-called Nature's Chakra is actually a kind of rare Natural Oddity. Within this kind of Nature's Chakra, there is an extremely pure Yin Yang Energy. If one is able to absorb the energy within, not only would one be able to quickly breakthrough in their cultivation continuously, but one's body will also be strengthened. And if one is lucky, it would also have the effect of cleansing bones and marrow."
"Yin Yang energies?" Ye Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He didn't really listen to the rest. Yin Yang energies were also a kind of energy like the Spirit Energy but more powerful and pure.
It is said that Yin represents the moon while Yang represents the sun. Yin is the symbol of darkness and absorption while Yang is the symbol of light and perception.
If he could obtain such energy, wouldn't he be able to reform his Small World quickly?
"Wait a minute... Yin... Yang!" Suddenly, a bold idea popped up in his mind, thinking of which, even Ye Xiao himself was shocked. He could not help but gasp heavily as he was about to go senseless.
Ye Xiao hurriedly shook his head to get rid of the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind and thought in his heart that he will try to follow this idea when the time comes!
For now... There was something he could not understand and decided to ask.
"I think there is something troubling about this." Ye Xiao raised his eyes, looked at Feng Wuji, and slowly said. Ye Xiao said, "In such a strange place, there is definitely more than one family who has their eyes on Nature's Chakra. It should be difficult for only one to enter."
"Hehe, little brother is indeed a wise man." Feng Wuji laughed lightly and said: "This Nature's Chakra is within the Blue Wind City but because of the limit on the number of people who could enter, it has always been the target of the various large powers. However, over the course of these few hundred years, there are very few people who could participate in the competition for Nature's Chakra!"
