Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Long Xingtian

Translator: 549690339

Zhu Xuan mounted a huge white tiger.

The white tiger was hairless.

Its entire body was smoothly polished.

Zhu Xuan, riding atop it, had an unmatched air of command.

Walking shoulder to shoulder with him was none other than Long Xingtian of the Sky-Stepping Sect’s Six Swords, known as Blood Sword.

Zhu Xuan turned to Long Xingtian with a smile, “Young Master Long, your alchemy talent is extraordinary. In this Empire Alchemists’ Competition, you’re sure to claim the top spot!”

Long Xingtian was recognized as the most talented alchemy genius of the younger generation within the Sky-Stepping Sect.

Hearing this, Long Xingtian smiled, “This time at the Empire Alchemists’ Competition, I heard even Gu Shaozong from the Ancient Divine Palace has come. It will be difficult to claim the top spot.” Despite his words, his tone radiated tremendous confidence.

“Gu Shaozong.” Zhu Xuan’s heart sank.

The Ancient Divine Palace was one of the Divine Dragon Empire’s ten Supreme Sects, its strength only secondary to the Sky-Stepping Sect.

And Gu Shaozong was considered the disciple with the greatest talent the Ancient Divine Palace had seen in tens of thousands of years.

Not one of them.

Not only was Gu Shaozong a freak in Martial Dao talent, but his alchemy talent was also unrivaled. So high was his alchemy talent that even the Grand Medicine Hall Master Shi Yongping was left in awe.

Gu Shaozong’s extraordinary talent made even Zhu Xuan, one of the Six Swords of the Sky-Stepping Sect, deeply impressed.

Just as Zhu Xuan was about to speak, suddenly, he saw Yang Xiaotian within the crowd ahead, causing his eyes to narrow and his face to sour.

Long Xingtian noticed Zhu Xuan’s unusual behavior and followed his gaze, his eyes landing on Yang Xiaotian, “Brother Zhu knows this kid?”

Zhu Xuan replied gravely, “Yang Xiaotian.”

“Oh, Yang Xiaotian!” Upon hearing the name, Long Xingtian’s eyes lit up and he sized up Yang Xiaotian from head to toe.

Fang Heng was extremely famous within the Divine Dragon Empire’s circle of pharmacists, yet he and Zeng Biao had died at the hands of Yang Xiaotian.

A few months ago, when Long Xingtian heard the news, he simply couldn’t believe his ears and thought he had heard wrong.

Later, when he confirmed that Fang Heng and Zeng Biao had indeed died in Tiandou Imperial City, Long Xingtian became interested in this Yang Xiaotian and wanted to see if the latter really had the capability to subdue an Emperor Realm Flood Dragon.

Riding a black tiger, he came up to Yang Xiaotian, “You’re Yang Xiaotian? Did you kill Fang Heng and Zeng Biao?”

Hearing Long Xingtian’s condescending tone, Yang Xiaotian didn’t respond, but instead looked towards Zhu Xuan, “The Martial Emperor, were they sent by you?”

Although he had not yet found the Martial Emperors who attacked his manor or the person behind them, Yang Xiaotian had a hunch it was Zhu Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuan’s face remained unchanged, and he let out a cold laugh, “What Martial Emperor? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Seeing Yang Xiaotian ignore him, Long Xingtian’s face darkened, “Yang Xiaotian, don’t think you’re impressive just because you’ve tamed an Emperor Realm Fierce Beast. In front of us, the Sky-Stepping Sect, an Emperor Realm Fierce Beast is nothing more than a somewhat stronger insect.”

“I know you have good alchemy talent and possess the Flame of Star, but it’s merely the Flame of Star after all.”

With that, he outstretched his hand, and a clump of purple fire flew out.

“Purple Luo Extreme Fire!”

The surrounding crowd gasped.

Purple Luo Extreme Fire was the Abnormal Fire listed twelfth on the Abnormal Fire List.

Long Xingtian looked at Yang Xiaotian, “Your Flame of Star is trash compared to my Purple Luo Extreme Fire.”

Yang Xiaotian’s expression was indifferent, “Purple Luo Extreme Fire is trivial, your Purple Luo Extreme Fire is trash in my eyes too.”

Long Xingtian, upon hearing Yang Xiaotian—who possessed the Flame of Star—call his own Purple Luo Extreme Fire trash, couldn’t help but laugh in anger, “My Purple Luo Extreme Fire is trash? Yang Xiaotian, you’re also here to participate in the Empire Alchemists’ Competition, aren’t you!”

“By then, at the Empire Pharmacist Competition, we’ll see whose Abnormal Fire is trash.”

Having said that, Zhu Xuan left with a group of his followers in tow.

As Zhu Xuan passed by Yang Xiaotian, he glanced sidelong at him, the corners of his mouth curling into a sinister smile, “Yang Xiaotian, I saw your sister a few days ago. She is very pretty.”

He then laughed heartily and departed.

Just as Zhu Xuan was leaving with boisterous laughter, intending to strut away, Xiao Jin retorted, “Laugh at your sister!”

Zhu Xuan almost slipped off the tiger he was riding; turning back in anger, he fixed Xiao Jin with a glance that carried murderous intent.

However, in the end, he said nothing and left with Long Xingtian and the others.

After their departure, Long Yu, a subordinate of Long Xingkong, said to Long Xingtian, “This Yang Xiaotian is a frog in the well; Young Master, you need not stoop to his level.”

Long Xingtian nodded, “Yang Xiaotian comes from a tiny kingdom’s minor city. He is ignorant and naive, I certainly won’t stoop to his level.” Saying this, he sneered, “However, I didn’t expect him to be so audacious as to dare to participate in the Empire Pharmacist Competition.”

Yang Xiaotian had killed Fang Heng and Zeng Biao, and now Fang Zhou must be itching to grind Yang Xiaotian into a pulp.

“Just wait, when the time comes, Fang Zhou will definitely cut Yang Xiaotian into tiny pieces,” Zhu Xuan said with a laugh, “Does he think that in the Imperial Capital, Fang Zhou wouldn’t dare to kill him?”

“Even if Fang Zhou can’t make a move within the Imperial Capital, once we’re outside, Yang Xiaotian will undoubtedly be dead.”

After Long Xingtian, Zhu Xuan, and the rest had left, Yang Xiaotian and his group began to look for a place to stay.

However, every major inn in the Imperial Capital was already fully booked, and after searching for half a day, they still couldn’t find anywhere to stay.

Yang Xiaotian was at a loss.

It seemed they would have to buy directly.

This time, they had come with more than twenty people; they couldn’t keep wandering the streets aimlessly.

Thus, Yang Xiaotian and his group went straight to the Xueluo Commerce Assembly.

However, when they heard the prices of estates in the Imperial Capital, everyone was shocked, including Yang Xiaotian.

“Over a hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!” Yang Chao and Huang Ying’s eyes bulged.

The price for a residence in Tiandou Imperial City was a million Gold Coins; to the two of them, that was already an astronomical figure, yet now in the Imperial Capital, an estate required over a hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!

A single low-grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to ten thousand Gold Coins; over a hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones was thus over a billion Gold Coins.

Over a billion—what kind of concept was that?

Laid out, it would be a mountain of gold.

Their house in Xingyue City probably couldn’t even hold over a billion Gold Coins.

The Xueluo Commerce Assembly disciple who was showing Yang Xiaotian the estate, upon seeing his and everyone else’s reaction, wasn’t surprised; these days, many experts from the empires also visited the Xueluo Commerce Assembly to inquire about the prices of estates in the Imperial Capital.

After learning the price, they all had the same reaction.

And then left dejected.

Just as he thought Yang Xiaotian and his group would also leave dejected, Yang Xiaotian spoke up, “We’ll buy that Azure Dragon Residence; proceed with the paperwork.” Saying this, he pulled out a Space Ring and handed it to the Xueluo Commerce Assembly disciple.

The Xueluo Commerce Assembly disciple held the Space Ring and was stunned as he looked at the mountainous pile of Gold Coins inside it.

These Gold Coins were part of the mountain of gold Yang Xiaotian had obtained from the Heavenly Dragon Treasure, of course.

“Please wait a moment, Young Master,” after a long pause, the excited Xueluo Commerce Assembly disciple recovered and addressed Yang Xiaotian, “I will count the Gold Coins and process the paperwork right away.”

At that moment, an overseer from the Xueluo Commerce Assembly came over with a young man, and this young man turned out to be Long Xingtian’s subordinate, Long Yu.

After the overseer from the Xueluo Commerce Assembly entered, he said cheerfully to the disciple, “Little Chen, this Young Master Long would like to purchase the Azure Dragon Residence. Process the paperwork for Young Master Long, please.”
