Chapter Ten: Calm Down!

  These words invigorated Xie Ao Yu's spirits.

  "Who is it!" Xie Ao Yu bent down and shouted in a low voice.

  A loud shout like a thunderclap, shocked Xie Gang's ears buzzing, to know that Xie Gang and Xie Zhe both belong to the waste material category, these two people's talent is really limited, now still in the primary lower boundary realm, compared with Xie Ao Yu, not much difference.

  "Yes, it's Fourth Elder Xie Kun." Xie Gang said.

  "Xie Kun?!" Xie Ao Yu's eyes shot out a sharp glint, "How did you know?"

  Xie Kun is Xie Zhe's father and the fourth elder of the Xie family. He is also one of the two great alchemists of the Xie family, while the other alchemist is still in the generation of Xie Ao Yu, who has just entered the door and can't be considered an alchemist yet. It can be said that Xie Kun is the only alchemist in the Xie family so far.

  The identity of this alchemist is not so simple.

  The profession of Alchemist is a very special and noble one, belonging to the high-ranking professions. In the Qiao Continent, it is also the most popular profession. Although Xie Kun's strength is not great, after all, he is the only Alchemist in the Xie family, and his status is extremely high.

  "Yes, it was something Zhe said when he was drunk once," Xie Gang explained.

  "Did he ever say why Xie Kun poisoned him?" A surge of anger rose in Xie Ao Yu's heart, he believed that Xie Gang had no need to lie.

  All along, although Xie Zhe was not very friendly to him, he still had a certain respect for Xie Kun. From the name alone, it can be known that Xie Ao Yu's father is called Xie Qian, and Xie Zhe's father is called Xie Kun, which means the prosperity of the Xie family lies in them.

  But he never thought it would be Xie Kun who made the move.

  At the same time, he had a strange question that got an answer, which was that no one could find the murderer for three years. Who would have thought that the murderer was actually one of their own people? What kind of motive did they have? Xie Kun definitely knew about it, and after that, Xie Kun never made a move again.

  "I don't know either," Xie Gang said in a trembling voice, "Xie Zhe didn't say anything at that time."

  Xie Ao Yu said, "I'll go ask Xie Zhe about this matter." He changed the subject, "You and Xie Zhe colluded with Te Luo Si to kill those few brothers of the Xie family who had grudges against you two?"

  Xie Gang looked at Xie Ao Yu with a frightened gaze, "Yes, but those were all done by Xie Zhe, not me... Ah!"

  Since he had already admitted it, Xie Ao Yu brought his knife down and stabbed it into Xie Gang's neck.

  "Ah, ah......" Xie Gang covered his neck, wanting to ask questions, but couldn't say a word.

  Xie Ao Yu coldly said: "I only make promises to humans, a beast like you who even kills your own family's children is not qualified."

  Apart from Xie Gang, Xie Ao Yu did not feel happy but instead felt very resentful.

  He thought of revenge.

  But thinking of Xie Kun, he could only suppress the fire of hatred in his heart. To be honest, Xie Kun's combat power was very ordinary. As a man in his fifties, he was only at the high-level boundary, and he and his son Xie Zhe were both considered useless. However, Xie Kun was an alchemist, and not to mention his prestige, just being an alchemist made people wary of him.

  Alchemist doesn't just mean someone who refines pills for healing and cultivation, it also means poisonous drugs. Xie Ao Yu knew that Xie Kun could refine poisonous drugs.

  If you go looking for trouble with Xie Kun, you'll obviously have to face his poisonous medicine.

  If he wanted to find Zong Chang Xie Lian, Xie Ao Yu gave up again. Although Xie Lian and Xie Qian were born of the same father but different mothers, their relationship was unusually good, but Xie Lian was the head of the clan, and what he had to consider was the Xie family.

  Is this one alchemist, I wonder if Xie Lian would agree to kill him?

  What's more, Xie Qian was not dead but rather in a coma.

  So he wants to avenge his father, he can only take matters into his own hands!

  Xie Ao Yu thought of the alchemist, Zi Yan. As a master-level alchemist, Zi Yan's abilities were far beyond Xie Kun's. If he could get guidance from her, there might be hope.

  Thinking of this, Xie Ao Yu rushed straight to Zi Yan's residence.

  "Ao Yu, how come you just came out? I've been waiting for you for half a day." Just as he walked out of that secluded place, he saw Bing Wu looking around there.

  Seeing Bingwu's expectant gaze, the violent emotions in Xie Aoyu's heart melted away, and he also calmed down from his anger.

  He found that there were still many problems to be solved here.

  Can't rush into action yet.

  Calm down!

  He must remain calm and absolutely cannot act rashly. Xie Ao Yu kept warning himself in his heart, if he took risks, it was very likely that he would not be able to kill the enemy and instead implicate himself.

  For nearly a decade of being ridiculed and mocked, Xie Ao Yu's heart has been tempered to be extremely mature, he is very calm when dealing with things and will not easily get agitated.

  "I saw an acquaintance." Xie Ao Yu smiled and said, "Let's go, we'll go eat, I'm treating."

  "I'm not eating, seeing Tros's dead state makes me sick to death, let's not eat, let's go play, this year has been too dull, it's all just cultivation and more cultivation." Ice Dance proposed.

  "Alright, I'll listen." Xie Ao Yu just thought about calming himself down as much as possible, not letting the flames of hatred blind his eyes.

  Then the two of them went to Langyabang's scenic spots for a stroll.

  Bingwu's cheerfulness, confidence and smile gradually conquered Xie Ao Yu's anger, he slowly came to realize some things, first of which was the poison that Xie Qian had ingested.

  If it was Xie Kun who poisoned him, where did he get such a potent poison?

  Even a master like Ziyan has been studying for so long and hasn't found an antidote, where did Xie Kun get it from?

  If it was someone else who sent it, does that mean he still has an accomplice?

  If it was something he had developed himself, then he must have obtained some kind of advanced poison formula. Does he still have any in his hands?

  A flood of questions suddenly poured into Xie Ao Yu's mind.

  After breaking up with Bing Wu, Xie Ao Yu sorted out his thoughts and rushed to Zi Yan's residence, hoping to get some answers from her.

  Ziyan's residence is located in a building within the city.

  When he arrived, Ziyan was studying alchemy.

  "Little guy, what brings you here?" Zi Yan was a bit surprised to see Xie Ao Yu, "Your father should be fine, right?"

  "Dad is fine, it's just that I have something to discuss with Sister Ziyan," Xie Ao Yu said.

  Zi Yan smiled slyly, "You're looking for me? I hope you don't have any ulterior motives?"

  Looking at that charming smile, Xie Ao Yu for the first time did not lose his composure. He was calm to the point of being a bit frightening, and only faintly said: "Zi Yan sister, do you think I can become an alchemist?"

  "Do you want to be an alchemist?" Ziyan asked in surprise, "How did you suddenly come up with this idea? You're not thinking of staying with me, are you?"

  "Probably." Xie Yu replied with a faint smile.

  Ziyan put down the things in her hand and said, "To become an alchemist, you must have two attributes. The first is fire attribute, and the second is wood attribute. You should know this, but although you possess the wood attribute, you don't have the fire attribute, so you can't become an alchemist."

  "Isn't there another way?" Xie Ao Yu asked.

  Ziyan murmured: "There is a way."

  Xie Ao Yu, who had not held out much hope, was overjoyed upon hearing this. "What method?"

  "It's impossible to become an alchemist, but you have a wood attribute and can also cultivate medicine... divine... finger." Ziyan said.
