"Alchemist? I wouldn't dare. I don't know how I offended you, but I'll apologize to you right now."
Xiao Yaotian spoke in fear, his expression full of fear.
Xiao Chenggong sneered and was a little angry. He snorted and said, "You wouldn't dare? I think you're very daring."
In fact, he also wanted to show off and enjoy the respect and compliments of others. However, with Xiao Yang here, he didn't dare to show off too much. Looking at Xiao Yaotian's attitude, he was extremely respectful to him but disdainful to Xiao Yang. Wouldn't this contrast kill him?
Even he had to act according to Xiao Yang's mood.
Seeing Xiao Chenggong so angry, Xiao Yaotian was even more flustered. He apologized repeatedly and even promised to give gifts as an apology. He really couldn't afford to offend an alchemist.
"Let me ask you, there are two alchemists here. Which one are you talking to?" Xiao Chenggong asked with a cold face.
"Two alchemists?"
Xiao Yaotian was stunned. There was only one alchemist, where did two come from?
His gaze swept across Xiao Yang and Xiao Man. He immediately ruled out the two of them without even thinking about it.
Xiao Man was just a servant girl, and her status was lower than his. He was at least a steward. Her cultivation was even lower than his. How could such a person be an alchemist?
As for Xiao Yang, it was better not to think about it. Ever since his cultivation fell to the Martial Disciple Realm, his father had been busy with his affairs. How could he be an alchemist?
Therefore, he looked at Xiao Chenggong weakly and said, "There's only one alchemist here. Is there a second one?"
"Nonsense, are you blind? A high-level alchemist is standing right in front of you, and you don't recognize him? I have to act according to his mood, but you put me first to flatter him. If he's unhappy, won't he kill me? "
Xiao Chenggong explained angrily.
What?
Could it be …
He didn't dare to think about it.
His heart was trembling. He looked at Xiao Yang in fear and asked nervously, "Is Young Master Xiao Yang a high-level alchemist?"
Thinking about how he had ignored Xiao Yang just now, he was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.
According to the clan's rules, all alchemists must be treated with respect, especially high level alchemists. Even an elder would have to give way to them.
He had actually ignored him and treated someone else as the main character. Wasn't this deliberately looking for trouble?
"Yes, I am." Xiao Yang was expressionless and indifferent as he answered quietly.
Plop.
Xiao Yaotian immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. "I deserve to die, I deserve to die. I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please spare my life, Young Master."
Xiao Yang glanced at the other party indifferently and frowned, "This isn't a big deal, why do you have to be like this? Get up and go about your business. Just do your job well for my family."
"Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Young Master Xiao Yang, for sparing my life. If you need anything, just let us know." Xiao Yaotian hurriedly left after receiving permission.
After walking far away, he touched his clothes and found that they were all wet.
He was really scared just now. On the verge of death, if the other party wanted to take his life, his family would not even blink an eye.
"Alright, let's pack up and get ready to go to the herb field. Xiao Chenggong, I'll bring you out. See if there are any herbs you need. At least I can say a few words here."
Not to mention his identity as a high level alchemist, just based on his identity as Xiao Wangu's son, the person in charge of the herb field would have to cooperate a little out of respect for Xiao Wangu.
"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you, Boss."
Xiao Chenggong was also an alchemist. Of course, he had a natural desire for herbs. No alchemist would complain about having too many alchemy resources.
The three of them stood in the huge herb field. There were herb workers working here, and they did not disturb each other.
When they passed by the herb field, they saw many good herbs. However, it was not the best time to harvest them, and they were not needed by Xiao Yang, so they let them go.
After walking for a while, they saw hundreds of workers gathered here and discussing something. Each of them had a melancholic look on their faces, and they were sighing with despair.
These herb workers earned their income through production. If the production was not good, their income would be reduced. If it was serious, it would affect the survival of the family.
"Everyone, what happened?"
Xiao Yang asked indifferently.
"Oh, it's Young Master Xiao Yang. Greetings, Young Master Xiao Yang." A few foremen recognized Xiao Yang at a glance and hurriedly led the crowd to greet him.
Xiao Yaotian had already instructed them to cooperate with Xiao Yang's work.
"Well, why are you gathered here? It seems like you have encountered some problems," Xiao Yang said calmly.
A few foremen looked at each other, and one of them hesitated for a while before standing up and saying, "Young Master Xiao Yang, our medicine field has been shrouded in poisonous gas overnight. If we don't think of a way to expel it, our medicine seedlings will die. This time, our family has invested all of our money into this planting. If there is no harvest, our family of four will starve to death. Young Master Xiao Yang, please save us."
"Please save us, Young Master Xiao Yang." The foreman led the workers to kneel down.
It was clear that their situation was not optimistic.
Xiao Yang frowned and continued to ask, "Has this happened before? How was it dealt with? "
"Reporting to Young Master, this has never happened before. This poisonous gas came suddenly and only attacked the seedlings. It did not hurt anyone. It is very strange," a foreman replied respectfully.
"Then, does Xiao Yaotian know about this?" Xiao Yang asked.
"Young Master Xiao Yang, this happened suddenly last night. We have not reported to Steward Xiao yet. Under normal circumstances, we discuss countermeasures and only look for Steward Xiao if we can't handle it."
"Well, let's go. Take me to have a look," Xiao Yang ordered.
The group of people walked toward the herb field filled with poisonous gas.
After Xiao Yang approached, he immediately sensed the poisonous gas with the help of his Poison Body's special constitution.
He had the memories of the Eternal Poison Lord from his previous life. Without much thought, he immediately determined the type and source of the poisonous gas.
It was the Taotao Poison Technique. He had encountered it before. The reason why the poisonous gas spread here was that someone had deliberately released poison here.
The Wang family of Wuyang City specialized in cultivating the Taotao Poison Technique. They also had a branch in Donglin Town. They must have passed down the Taotao Poison Technique and then instructed people to cause trouble.
Xiao family in Donglin Town and the Wang family had friction and conflicts every two to three days. This was already a common occurrence.
The other party tampering with the herb field was expected.
Xiao Yang explained the situation here to everyone. He also asked Xiao Man to write a short message to report to the family.
