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

Xi Suo put the badge away and said to the staff member: "Can I take these things away?"

"Of course, you can go." said the staff.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome."

Xi Suo walked out of the pharmacy and prepared to find Yao Lao to share the good news of his victory.

Xi Suo walked to Yao Lao's residence.

Yao Lao was practicing in the courtyard where he lived at the moment. When he saw Xi Suo coming in, he stopped circulating his spiritual power.

"Xisuo, how was today's game?" Yao Lao asked with a smile.

"I took first place, Li Hao could only take second place, and Zhao Yufan took third place."

Chapter 657: Xi Suo Returns to Yao Lao

"Oh?" After hearing what Xi Suo said, Yao Lao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I told you, you can do it."

"I also think I can get first place." Hisoka said as he took out the reward.

"You kid, are really not simple." Yao Lao glanced at the badge in Xi Suo's hand and said with a smile on his face.

"Master Yao, I got first place today, won't you give me a reward?"

"You little brat, I didn't know you were so powerful." Yao Lao said as he took out a piece of jade from his arms. "I'll give this to you! You're still missing a jade pendant."

"Jade pendant? This one?" Xi Suo took the jade pendant and observed it carefully. He found that it was a very beautiful jade pendant with a dragon carved on it. The shape of this jade pendant was exactly the same as the one in Xi Suo's hand.

Xi Suo took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a while, then handed it back to Yao Lao. "Yao Lao, this jade pendant is too valuable. I can't take it."

"This is a gift from the master. Just take it and don't refuse it. If a genius like you can't even protect a jade pendant, wouldn't that be a loss of face for me?" Yao Lao looked at Xi Suo seriously.

Xi Suo looked at Yao Lao and finally took the jade pendant. "Thank you, Master."

"Haha..." Yao Lao said with a smile. "You are my apprentice, so it's nothing for me to give you a jade pendant. I will still need you to help me in the future!"

"Don't worry, I won't treat my master unfairly." Hisoka said with a smile.

"You kid, you finally said a few nice words. I thought you didn't know that the master is an alchemist?"

"How could I not know that in my eyes, Master has always been my role model."

"Okay, I'm going to refine the medicinal materials, you help me." said Yao Lao.

"Yes, Master." Xi Suo said and turned to walk towards the medicine room.

After Hisoka left the pharmacy, the smile on Yao Lao's face gradually faded.

Yao Lao glanced at the jade pendant, then shook his head and sighed. "I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts."

"Master, what kind of elixir are you going to make this time?" Xi Suo asked.

"One ninth-grade healing pill and one sixth-grade healing pill."

"I'm afraid I can't afford such a precious elixir." Xi Suo said.

"Don't worry! In the prescription I prepared for you, each medicinal ingredient is prepared according to its medicinal efficacy. There is no need to add any special ingredients, so you can use it with confidence. Moreover, you can use your own advantages to achieve higher achievements in alchemy." said Yao Lao.

"Yeah." Xi Suo nodded.

"Please help me prepare the herbs!" said Yao Lao.

After leaving the pharmacy, Xi Suo went outside the pharmacy and built a medicine furnace next to the pharmacy.

Xi Suo reinforced the herbs around the medicine furnace to lower the temperature of the herbs, and then he took the things to Yao Lao's room.

"Master, I have prepared everything you want."

"Well, put it aside! I need to refine the elixir, don't worry about me, you go out first!" Yao Lao ordered.

Xi Suo nodded and left Yao Lao's room.

Yao Lao sat down cross-legged and put the herbs into the medicine cauldron.

A flame burned, the medicinal materials were calcined, slowly turned black, and then turned into powder. Yao Lao's hands quickly formed seals, and a stream of medicinal power was released from his palms. These medicinal powers were controlled by Yao Lao and injected into the liquid in the medicine cauldron.

Chapter 658: Explosion Occurs While Yao Lao is Refining the Alchemy

The liquid in the medicine cauldron also changes color as the medicinal power increases.

An hour passed, and the liquid in the medicine cauldron slowly turned black. Yao Lao threw another material in, and then covered the medicine cauldron. Sweat oozed from his forehead, and he spread his hands, and black air came out from his fingertips.

Yao Lao reached his right hand into his sleeve, took out a ring, and placed it in the medicine cauldron.

With a loud "hum", the medicine cauldron began to shake violently, and then began to emit black mist.

The fog became thicker and thicker, eventually enveloping the entire medicine cauldron.

"Ah! It hurts so much!" Yao Lao screamed and his body shook violently.

"What's wrong?" Xi Suo's voice came from the door.

"I can't control the medicine cauldron anymore, help me out quickly." Yao Lao shouted in pain.

Xi Suo hurried in and helped Yao Lao up.

"Master, hold on." Xi Suo said as he picked up a bottle of healing pills and fed them to the old man, but the effect was not significant. The healing pills had no effect on the injuries at all.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Yao Lao's forehead and his body was shaking.

"Yao Lao, please hold on, I will find a way right away." Xi Suo said anxiously.

Yao Lao gritted his teeth and endured it. The black fog in the medicine cauldron became thicker and thicker, and a large number of black spots appeared on Yao Lao's body. The black spots began to spread, and Yao Lao's skin gradually became darker, and the black energy on Yao Lao's body began to intensify.

"Boom!"

The medicine cauldron exploded, a ball of flame gushed out from it, and Yao Lao was also flung away.

After Yao Lao landed on the ground, his body went limp and he fell to the ground.

"Master, how are you? Master, Master..." Xi Suo ran to Yao Lao, patted Yao Lao's face, and found that Yao Lao was unconscious.

"Help! Help!" Hisoka shouted several times. "Help! Help! Help!"

Soon, three or four guards heard Xisuo's call and ran in. After seeing the guards, Xisuo handed Yao Lao to them, then rushed out of the yard and ran back to his medicine garden.

Yao Lao's injuries are very serious and he must be treated quickly.

"Master is injured. Go to Yaowang Valley and call for help. Remember, call the best doctor and don't be negligent." Xi Suo shouted to a group of servants.

"We'll go right away!" said the servant and ran away.

Soon, a gorgeous carriage stopped outside the yard and a young man jumped out.

"Xiso, what happened to Yao Lao?" the young man said to Xiso.

"I don't know what's going on." Xi Suo said anxiously.

"Master was refining medicine in Medicine King Valley just now, and then the medicine cauldron suddenly exploded, and Master was ejected. I happened to see it, so I brought Master back."

“Come with me,” the young man said, and then pulled Xi Suo into the carriage.

Xi Suo followed the young man into the carriage, and the young man drove the carriage towards Yao Lao's medicine garden.

Along the way, Xi Suo told the young man about the situation in Medicine King Valley.

“The cultivation level of Yao Lao is not low, and there are many medicinal materials in the Medicine King Valley. If he hadn’t encountered any danger, Yao Lao would never have encountered such an accident.” said the young man.

"Then what should we do? Master's injury is too serious." Xi Suo said. "Is it really impossible to refine healing pills? The cultivation of those medicine kings is not much worse than that of Master."

Chapter 659: The unconscious Yao Lao finally wakes up

"Don't worry." The young man comforted him, "As long as I find the right herbs, I should be able to cure Yao Lao's injuries."

"Really? That's great." Hisoka said excitedly.

The young man said nothing more and drove the carriage quickly towards Yaowang Valley.

"Who is so cruel?" Hisoka cursed with his fists clenched.

"I don't know yet." The young man said. "I think it was done by someone from Medicine King Valley."

"why?"

"You know Yao Lao's temper. Yao Lao never causes trouble. Once Yao Lao makes up his mind, he will not change his mind. I guess this matter may be related to the people around him. I suspect that someone in Yaowang Valley did it." said the young man.

"Then what should we do?" said Xi Suo.

"Don't worry. Once I find out who did it, I will make him pay the price. Then you will know." The young man said with a smile.

"Well, I believe you!" said Xi Suo.

"Hiso, you take a rest first, I'll go handle this matter." After saying this, the young man jumped off the carriage and disappeared.

Xi Suo went to Yao Lao's room alone. The doctors had finished the treatment and only Yao Lao was left lying unconscious on the bed.

"Master, wake up."

Yao Lao opened his eyes and felt sore all over and his head was dizzy.

"Oh, you finally woke up." Hisoka said excitedly.

"Where am I?" Yao Lao said as he looked at the furnishings around him.

"This is your room," said Xi Suo. "When you were refining the elixir, an explosion occurred and you fainted. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"So that's how it is... By the way, how many days have I been in a coma?"

"Not a few days, just a few hours."

"It's been so long, and I'm still so confused that I was distracted while refining the elixir." Yao Lao said and shook his head.

"Master, your injuries haven't healed yet, so don't run around. Stay in the Medicine King Valley for a while. I will arrange someone to take good care of you." Xiso said.

Yao Lao nodded: "Yes."

"Master, please recuperate in the Medicine King Valley for the next few days. I'll go and take care of my own things first." Xi Suo said as he stood up.

"You go and do your own thing. I won't bother you anymore." Yao Lao said with a smile.

Hisoka nodded, walked out of the room and closed the door.

Yao Lao lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze, his eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness.

He knew very well that the cause of the explosion was not because he was distracted while refining the elixir, and he would never allow himself to be distracted while refining the elixir.

Apart from this reason, the only possible problems were with the medicinal materials and the medicine cauldron, but it happened that the medicinal materials and the medicine cauldron were prepared personally by his apprentice Xiso.

"It couldn't have been Xi Suo who did it. I believe him!" Yao Lao sat up from the bed.

"Has my soul power become so weak that I can't even sense if there's something wrong with the medicinal herbs?" Yao Lao fell into deep thought.

After a while, Yao Lao said, "No matter what the reason is, as long as they dare to attack me and Xi Suo, I will make them pay the price for their actions!"

Xi Suo left Yao Lao's room, came to the courtyard, found a place on the lawn, and sat down cross-legged.

"Xiso, you don't look well, are you sick?" the young man said to Xiso.

"It's nothing serious, it will be fine after a while." Xi Suo said.

Chapter 660: Yao Lao and Xi Suo are put on the bounty list

"How's the situation with Yao Lao?" asked the young man.

"He's awake, but his injuries are serious."

Xi Suo said, "How is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

"I sent someone to investigate, but have not yet gotten any results."

"I'll leave this matter to you. Remember to tell me if there is any progress."

"No problem, don't worry."

The young man said this and left Yao Lao's yard.
