Chapter 16 Attention from the Yunlan Sect! A Rank 6 Alchemist?
The next day, Xiao Ze left the Xiao family home and went straight to the Mittel auction house.
As he entered the gate, a maid immediately came to greet him.
"Young Master Xiao Ze, you've arrived."
"Is Ya Fei here?" Xiao Ze asked.
"Consort Ya is upstairs, I'll go inform her," the maid said.
Xiao Ze nodded and followed the maid upstairs.
In the VIP room, Ya Fei was sitting behind the coffee table looking through the account books. When she saw Xiao Ze enter, she put down the account books and stood up.
"Young Master Xiao Ze, what brings you here today?"
"There's something I'd like to ask you for help with," Xiao Ze said.
"Young Master Xiao Ze, please speak."
"I need a few medicinal herbs of high quality," Xiao Ze said. "Can the Mittel Auction House help me get them?"
Upon hearing this, Ya Fei's eyes flashed with interest. "What medicinal herb?"
Xiao Ze then explained the main ingredients needed for the Qingling Pill.
Ya Fei frowned slightly after hearing this. "These medicinal herbs are all grade five and six, which are very difficult to find in Wutan City."
"I know," Xiao Ze said, "that's why I want to ask the Mittel family for help."
Ya Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking.
A voice came from outside the door, "What medicinal herbs do you need the Mittel family's help with?"
The door was pushed open and Mittel Tengshan walked in.
He had stayed in Wutan City for two days and originally planned to return to the capital today, but when he heard that Xiao Ze had come to the auction house, he came to take a look.
"Chief Fujiyama," Xiao Ze said.
"Young friend Xiao Ze, you don't need to be so polite," Mittel Tengshan said with a smile. "Just let me know what medicinal herbs you need."
Xiao Ze explained the main ingredients of Qingling Pill again.
Mittel Fujiyama's expression changed slightly after hearing this.
These medicinal herbs are all rare herbs of grade five or above, and each one would be priceless on the market.
"What kind of elixir do you need these medicinal herbs to refine, young friend Xiao Ze?" Mittel Tengshan asked.
"A top-grade sixth-rank pill," Xiao Ze said.
Mittel Tengshan's eyelids twitched. A sixth-grade peak pill, no one in the entire Jia Ma Empire had been able to refine it yet.
Although Gu He is a sixth-grade alchemist, he can only refine ordinary sixth-grade pills at most, and he is not confident that he can refine peak sixth-grade pills.
"Young friend Xiao Ze, are you confident in refining it?" Mittel Tengshan asked.
"Yes," Xiao Ze said.
Mittel Tengshan took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, I'll get these herbs for you."
"Thank you, Chief Tengshan," Xiao Ze said.
"You're too kind, young friend," said Mittel Tengshan. "However, these medicinal herbs are hard to find and may take some time."
"No rush," Xiao Ze said.
Mittel Tengshan nodded.
Xiao Ze didn't say anything more and turned to leave the VIP room.
After seeing Xiao Ze off, Ya Fei returned to the VIP room.
Mittel Tengshan sat in his chair with a solemn expression.
"Clan leader, are you really going to help him find these medicinal herbs?" Ya Fei asked.
“Of course,” Mittel Tengshan said. “A fifteen-year-old sixth-grade alchemist is worth our bet.”
"But these medicinal herbs are very valuable; what if he fails to refine them..."
"Consider it tuition." Mittel Tengshan interrupted Yafei, "Yafei, you must remember, Xiao Ze is someone you can only befriend, not offend."
Ya Fei nodded.
"We will try our best to satisfy whatever he wants," Mittel Fujiyama said. "This person is someone our Mittel family can never hope to reach in the future."
Ya Fei was shocked; the clan leader's evaluation of Xiao Ze was surprisingly high.
"I understand," Ya Fei said.
Mittel Tengshan stood up. "I should go back to the capital. I will have these medicinal herbs sent over as soon as possible."
"Take care, clan leader," Ya Fei said.
Mittel Tengshan walked out of the VIP room and left the auction house.
Mittel Tengshan transformed into a qi-transformed wing and soared into the sky, flying towards the capital.
Headquarters of the Mittel family in the capital.
The first thing Mittel Tengshan did upon returning to the family was to summon several elders to the main hall.
"Chief, why did you summon us in such a hurry?" an elder asked.
"I need a few medicinal herbs," Mittel Tengshan said. "Use all available channels to find them as quickly as possible."
Mittel Tengshan wrote the names of the medicinal herbs on a piece of paper and handed it over.
The elder took the paper, glanced at it, and his expression changed.
"Chief, these are all rare fifth and sixth grade medicinal herbs, each one is priceless."
"I know," Mittel Tengshan said. "We must find it at all costs."
The elders exchanged glances, puzzled as to why their clan leader wanted to find these medicinal herbs.
"What are these medicinal herbs for, clan leader?" the second elder asked.
"Give it to someone," Mittel Tengshan said.
"Who?"
"Xiao Ze," Mittel Tengshan said.
The elders exchanged bewildered glances. Xiao Ze? That good-for-nothing young master of the Xiao family?
"Chieftain, you're not joking, are you?" the First Elder said. "Giving such valuable medicinal herbs to a good-for-nothing?"
"He's not a waste," Mittel Tengshan said. "He's a sixth-grade alchemist."
The hall fell silent, and the elders' faces were filled with shock.
"A sixth-grade alchemist?" the Grand Elder exclaimed in disbelief. "That young master of the Xiao family?"
“I saw it with my own eyes,” Mittel Tengshan said. “Fama and Furukawa were also there.”
The elders fell silent. The clan leader spoke up personally, and Fama and Guhe were also present. This matter could not be false.
"I'll make the arrangements right away," the elder said.
Mittel Tengshan nodded.
The Prince of Dan's residence.
When Gu He returned to his residence, Liu Ling was already waiting at the door.
"Master, you're back." Liu Ling greeted him.
Guhe nodded and walked into the mansion.
Liu Ling followed behind Gu He cautiously and asked, "Master, what's the situation in Wutan City?"
Gu He sat down in the chair, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. "That Battle Spirit Pill is indeed genuine."
A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Ling's eyes. "Who made it?"
"Xiao Ze, the fourth young master of the Xiao family," Gu He said.
Liu Ling was stunned for a moment. The fourth young master of the Xiao family? The younger brother of Xiao Yan, who was jilted at the altar?
"Master, are you sure?" Liu Ling asked.
"I personally witnessed Xiao Ze refining a sixth-grade pill," Gu He said. "His technique was very skilled, unlike his first time."
Liu Ling's eyes were filled with shock. How could a sixth-grade alchemist at the age of fifteen or sixteen be possible?
"Is Master's talent truly so terrifying?" Liu Ling asked.
Guhe was silent for a moment before speaking, "There is no second one like him in the entire Gama Empire."
Liu Ling took a deep breath and stopped talking.
A few days later, in the main hall of the Yunlan Sect.
Several elders sat on either side, while Sect Master Yun Yun sat in the main seat with a calm expression.
"Elder, please repeat what you just said," Yun Yun said.
The Grand Elder nodded. "Recently, news came from Wutan City that someone can refine sixth-grade pills."
Yun Yun's brows furrowed slightly. "A sixth-grade pill? Refined by Gu He?"
"It's not Gu He," the First Elder said. "It's someone from the Xiao family."
"The Xiao family?" Yun Yun asked. "The Xiao family from Wutan City?"
"Yes," the First Elder said, "Xiao Ze, the fourth young master of the Xiao family."
A hint of interest flashed in Yun Yun's eyes. "How old is the fourth young master of the Xiao family?"
"Fifteen or sixteen years old," the elder said.
Yun Yun tapped her fingers on the armrest. There were only a handful of sixth-grade alchemists who were fifteen or sixteen years old on the entire continent.
"Is the information reliable?" Yunyun asked.
"Reliable," the Grand Elder said. "Danwang Guhe and Mittel Tengshan both paid a personal visit, and Fama was also present."
Yun Yun remained silent for a moment.
The fact that Dan Wang Guhe personally visited Xiao Ze shows that Xiao Ze truly has real skills.
"Sect Master, should we also go and make some connections?" the Grand Elder asked.
"Let's take another look," Yun Yun said.
The elder nodded and said no more.
Nalan Yanran stood aside, listening to the conversation of the elders with great curiosity. Who was this person that even Pill King Guhe had to personally visit?
"Is that Xiao Ze from the Xiao family, Elder?" Nalan Yanran asked.
"Yes," the elder said, "the Xiao family of Wutan City."
Nalan Yanran frowned slightly. The Xiao family of Wutan City, isn't that Xiao Yan's family?
The elders discussed for a few more minutes and then dispersed.
As Nalan Yanran walked out of the main hall, the name Xiao Ze was still on her mind.
The Xiao family can refine sixth-grade pills. Who exactly is this person?
