The video takes stock of the heavens, starting with the Fire Dragon King Natsu!

Seeing this scene, Hisoka immediately stopped and looked around.

When Xi Suo's voice fell, a young man's voice sounded: "Xi Suo, long time no see!"

After saying that, the young man walked up to Hisoka.

"It's you!" Hisoka saw clearly who the person was and asked.

This young man was none other than Nangong Feiyu, the young master of the Nangong family.

"Long time no see, Hisoka! I heard that you went to the imperial capital?" Nangong Feiyu asked.

"Well, is there anything you want to talk to me about? If not, I have to go back! My master is still waiting for me at home." Xi Suo said.

"You mean, your master is in the imperial capital? What did you do in the imperial capital?" Nangong Feiyu asked with raised eyebrows.

"What can I do? Just play with my master!" Hisoka said.

"Really? What's your master's name?" Nangong Feiyu asked.

"His name is Yao Lao." Xi Suo said, "By the way, Master Nangong, is there anything you want to talk to me about? Nothing, I'm leaving now!"

“Don’t be in such a hurry to leave!” Nangong Feiyu stretched out his hand to hold Xi Suo’s shoulder, and said with a smile: “We haven’t seen each other for a long time, let’s go and have a chat!”

"Young Master Nangong, I have something very important to do right now!" Xi Suo looked at Nangong Feiyu and said.

"Oh? Is there anything more important than the two of us reminiscing about the past?" Nangong Feiyu asked with a smile.

"Master Nangong, my master is still waiting for me to come back. Please move aside. I have something very important to do!" Xi Suo said.

"In that case, I won't keep you here. Go ahead!" Nangong Feiyu let go of his hand and said, "I hope you won't let me down."

"I'll try my best!" said Hisoka.

Afterwards, Xi Suo left directly, leaving Nangong Feiyu with a handsome back.

Nangong Feiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said to himself, "Xi Suo, you'd better not let me down! Otherwise, you will die ugly."

As soon as Hisoka returned to the outskirts of his master's house, he ran into his master. He greeted his master, but the master did not respond. He walked straight past him and into the house.

Hisoka was very dissatisfied with the master's attitude and quickly chased after him: "Master, why do you treat me like this?"

The master still ignored Hisoka.

Chapter 574: Only strength is the most important!

"Master, this time I went to the imperial capital and met the city lord." Xi Suo said directly.

"You met the city lord?" Hearing this, the master stopped walking. He slowly turned around and looked at Xi Suo and said, "You met the city lord? What did he talk to you about?"

Xi Suo did not answer his master's words. He said, "We didn't talk about anything. He just took me to get some pills and talismans, saying that they were for me to increase my spiritual power."

"He gave you something to increase your spiritual power?" Upon hearing Hisoka's words, a hint of surprise flashed across the master's face.

"Master, the city lord said that although I have a good talent for refining weapons, I am only good at using sword skills. I don't have any other special abilities, so I can only rely on the help of elixirs and talismans to increase my training speed." Xiso said.

"You said you have a good talent for refining weapons?" the master asked.

"Yes, Master, although I have never tried refining equipment." Xi Suo replied.

"You don't have to think about these for now. Give me the things the city lord gave you. You won't need them for now." Yao Lao was packing his things.

"But, Master, I want to become stronger!" Hisoka said.

"I know what you are thinking, and I also know what your goal is! But you must listen to me. Now, give the thing to me." Yao Lao said.

"Why should I give you my things?" Xi Suo said, "I don't know you, why should I give you my things? You don't need to worry about my affairs!"

"Xi Suo, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. This time, you must give me what the city lord gave you. I am your master, would I harm you?" Yao Lao said in a deep voice, "Give me the things right now. I don't want to hurt your life. I'll give you one stick of incense to think about it."

"Got it." Xi Suo handed all the things he got from the city lord to Yao Lao, "Master, these things are what I got in the imperial capital these days."

"Yes!" Yao Lao took the storage ring from Xiso's hand and nodded.

"Get ready. I'm going to make medicine now. I want you to bring back high-quality Qingyun grass, which will help you improve." Yao Lao said this and left, leaving Xi Suo standing there.

"Xisuo, please stay with me for a while!" Yao Lao said as he walked out the door.

"Okay." Xi Suo nodded, then followed Yao Lao towards his own courtyard.

The residence that Yao Lao arranged for Xi Suo was his secret courtyard. Apart from Yao Lao, there was no one else in it.

Yao Lao entered the room and went straight to his own refining room.

"I have sorted out these materials, you can use them!" said Yao Lao.

"Thank you, Master." Hisoka said gratefully.

"Take these materials and use them! Remember, do not reveal that these are the ones I gave you." Yao Lao said again.

"Okay." Xi Suo agreed and left Yao Lao's residence with his things.

After returning to his residence, Hisoka couldn't wait to open the pile of materials.

He first looked at the formula for refining medicinal herbs, then opened the refining materials for these medicinal herbs, and then he began to refine them according to the above steps.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, three hours had passed. At this time, Xi Suo finally succeeded in refining a pill, and this pill was exactly what he needed to improve his strength.

"It's exactly as I expected!" said Hisoka.

He took the pill and swallowed it directly.

The drug took effect, and a powerful spiritual power instantly filled his whole body. This spiritual power circulated in his body in circles until he felt it was enough and stopped.

Then Hisoka began to regulate his breathing and adjust his state.

At this moment, many things appeared in his mind.

The first thing is the medicinal materials and the alchemy furnace. He found that his medicinal materials were all top-grade, but the alchemy furnace was a low-level one and could not provide much medicinal power. He had to buy a high-level alchemy furnace.

"This world is really amazing. I used to be able to find only high-level medicinal materials in small worlds, but on the mainland, I can find low-level medicinal materials at will, and even refine low-level pills. I am really lucky." Xiso said. He was very surprised by all of this. At the same time, he was also very glad that he did not listen to his master's advice and chose to refine pills. He also understood that his talent for refining medicine was not very good. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would have reached the level of an alchemist long ago, and would not be just a low-level alchemist.

"It seems that my luck is still good!" said Hisoka.

"There is no such thing as perfection in this world. I have to keep working hard and keep looking for more powerful drugs so that I can have enough strength to protect myself and the people I care about. Only strength is the most important thing, everything else is nothing!"

Chapter 575: Report to the Alchemist Association

Xi Suo recited these words silently in his mind, and then began to refine the elixir.

"Refine Qingyun Grass." Xi Suo said, "The attribute of Qingyun Grass is fire. I can use fire to refine medicinal materials and refine high-level elixirs. However, this is the continent, not a small world, so my elixirs must be high-quality."

Hisoka began to refine, and he continued to refine without stopping.

Xisuo's speed in refining pills was astonishingly fast. In just half an incense stick of time, he successfully refined five pills.

He directly took out a bottle of pills and swallowed them, then began to refine the medicine.

It is much easier to refine medicine than to make elixir.

Because he can use flames to refine medicinal materials, and this kind of elixir, even if the quality of the medicinal materials is ordinary, as long as they are refined to the extreme, they can also be refined into high-level elixirs.

An hour later, Xi Suo successfully refined five high-level pills, two of which were high-level healing pills, and the other three were pills for enhancing cultivation, a total of four high-level healing pills.

“Hahahaha…” Hisoka laughed and got up from the ground.

"It seems like I still have a chance to reach a higher level!" Hisoka's face showed excitement.

Yao Lao walked in, glanced at Xi Suo and left.

"Master, where are you going?" Xi Suo couldn't help but ask after seeing Yao Lao leaving.

Yao Lao paused for a moment and said, "Don't you want to become an alchemist? I'll take you to the Alchemist Guild to report!"

"Alchemist Guild?" Xi Suo was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Aren't only alchemists from the Alchemist Guild allowed to participate?"

"Of course." Yao Lao said, "But I am also a member of the Alchemist Guild, so I will take you to report. But don't worry, with my help, you will definitely pass the Alchemist Assessment smoothly!"

"Thank you, Master!" said Hisoka.

"You're welcome, we are all family." Yao Lao said calmly.

……

During the time when Xiso was away, Yao Lao went to Yaoshen Valley and told him his ideas. In the end, he got Yao Lao's approval. He decided to help Xiso reach the level of an alchemist. However, the Alchemist Guild could not be compared with a behemoth like the Alchemist Association after all. Therefore, he could only apply for an entry certificate for Xiso in the Alchemist Guild and let Xiso report to the Alchemist Guild.

During this process, Xi Suo went to the Alchemist Association with Yao Lao.

"Master Yao!" A group of alchemists greeted him.

Yao Lao nodded and said, "This is my apprentice Xi Suo. I will take him to you to report."

"Xi Suo is Master Yao Lao's apprentice? No wonder he has reached the level of alchemist at such a young age. It turns out that Master Yao Lao has taught him well!" The alchemists spoke up one after another.

Yao Lao nodded, and then said to Xi Suo: "Xi Suo, from now on you will be a member of the Alchemist Guild. What your specific job position will be in the future is up to you."

"Thank you for your cultivation, Master Yao!" Xi Suo said, "I will definitely fulfill my mission."

"Okay, you guys get busy!" Yao Lao said.

After Yao Lao finished speaking, he took Xi Suo away. He planned to take Xi Suo to the position he had assigned to him to handle the work.

Xi Suo's mind was full of doubts. He didn't know what his master was up to. He followed Yao Lao to a building.

"This is the union's headquarters." Yao Lao said, pointing at the tall tower.

"This tower is called the 'Medicine Tower'. It is the treasure of the Medicine Valley. In the Medicine Valley, anyone who has made a little contribution can get a set of this tower as a reward. Of course, these rewards are for alchemists like you. Others are not eligible for this reward." Yao Lao said, "Today I will take you to choose your job."

"Medicine Tower?" Xi Suo said, "Master, I wonder what this reward is?"

"Each floor of this medicine tower has 300 rooms." Yao Lao said, "Each floor has an alchemist responsible for a task. The duration of each task is not fixed. Sometimes it lasts for a day, sometimes it lasts for a week, sometimes it lasts for three days, and sometimes it lasts for seven days."

After hearing Yao Lao's explanation, Xi Suo finally understood that his job should be just a job.

"Master, what is your job?" Xi Suo asked.

"My job is very simple. I receive a certain amount of spirit stones and precious medicinal materials every month, and then exchange these medicinal materials for spirit stones to exchange for elixirs." Yao Lao said, "My job is easy, but you must not be careless. Because these are the foundation for your promotion to a great alchemist in the future."

Xi Suo said, "Master, don't worry! I will definitely do everything well and will never be careless."

Yao Lao nodded and took Xi Suo to the first floor of the medicine tower.

Chapter 576: The Old Man Wants to See Hisoka

"Master, who is in charge of the first floor?" Xi Suo asked, "I feel that the first floor seems to be more dangerous!"

"This is the professional area for alchemists. You can get a lot of things here. In other words, you are the boss here. If anyone dares to disobey you, I will break his legs." Yao Lao said coldly, "Of course, here you can show off your alchemy skills to your heart's content."

Hisoka began to observe the environment of the first floor. The space on this floor was very small, about the size of an acre, and various kinds of medicinal herbs were placed inside. Some of these herbs were blue, some were red, some were purple, and some were black.

Xi Suo walked to a medicinal herb and squatted down. He reached out and pulled out the herb, then began to observe it carefully.

"Hmm? This herb seems to be of fire attribute. Yes, it is the herb for refining the Flame Pill. Each of these herbs is priceless." Xi Suo raised his eyebrows, then picked up several other herbs and observed them, then took another herb and began to study it carefully.

An hour later, a smile appeared on Hisoka's face because he saw the extraordinary nature of these herbs.

"Flame Pill?" Xi Suo muttered.

"These herbs all have extraordinary effects. If I'm not mistaken, they are all top-grade elixirs, and each one is not a simple commodity. I have found the right one this time. It's worth all the years I have spent looking for an alchemist for you. I know my vision will not be wrong." Yao Lao said, "You collect these herbs first, and I will come back to test them in a month."

"Okay, I understand." Xi Suo said, "I will go find these herbs now."

"Yeah." Yao Lao nodded slightly, and he didn't say anything else.

Yao Lao had just turned to leave when suddenly, he saw a man.

"Who?" Yao Lao asked.

This is an old man wearing gray clothes, a bamboo hat, and a gold mask on his face.

"Mr. Yao, do you still remember me?" the old man said.

Yao Lao was stunned. He asked, "Do you know me?"

The old man nodded indifferently.

"What do you want from me?" Yao Lao asked.

The old man said calmly, "Aren't you looking for your apprentice, Hisoka? I would like to ask you for a favor. I want to meet him."

"You want to see Xi Suo?" Yao Lao asked doubtfully, "Why should I help you? Xi Suo and I don't even know each other!"

The old man shook his head and said, "This is indeed the first time we meet. I don't know Xi Suo. I came here for him. As long as you agree to my request, I promise that he will become the top existence in the Medicine Tower. No one in this world can be his opponent."
