Inside the private room of the restaurant, the man in the brocade robe had an arrogant expression and naturally exuded a sense of superiority.
Master Hou, who was behind him, acted the same.
Especially after he saw that Ling Xian was only of the fourth level, he revealed a look of disdain.
"I thought it was some important figure who bought the wine. I cannot believe it is just a little cultivator of the fourth level." The man in the brocade robe looked at him with disdain, "Young man, hand over the wine."
"I do have more of it, but it's leftovers. Do you want it?" Ling Xian spoke softly, coldness flashed across his eyes.
Being arrogant was one thing, but he kicked open the door. How arrogant was this?
"Young man, you are seeking death."
The man in the brocade robe's expression darkened, "I know you have some background. Or else you wouldn't be able to afford the wine. But before me, your background is useless!"
"You sure talk big." Ling Xian smiled. Just as he was about to say something, the man in black stopped him.
He shook his head, signaling Ling Xian not to act recklessly. Then, he paid his respect to the man in the brocade robe, "Young leader."
Hearing this, Ling Xian realized why the man in black stopped him and why the man in the brocade robe was acting so arrogant.
Though the leader of the City of Demons was not a Supreme-Being, he was close to that level. He was also good friends with a few other royal kinds. In the entire Planet of Demons, he was an important figure.
With a father like this, the man in the brocade robe was naturally arrogant.
"You sure know your place. Sadly, he has angered me."
The man in the brocade robe's expression was heavy as water as he shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "Young man, you either kneel down and apologize, or you leave your legs behind. Choose one."
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled. There was sarcasm and coldness in his smile.
After cultivating for so many years, he has killed far too many people with powerful backgrounds. Even the House of Ten Thousand Saints, which had a Supreme-Being, he dared to offend. Why would he fear a cultivator of the seventh level?
"I hate your smile."
"Many people have smiled at me like that. But they are all dead."
The man in the brocade robe glared at Ling Xian, "You are no exception."
"Come at me. I sure want to see how you will kill me." Ling Xian's expression was calm. Not only did he not get up, but he also crossed his legs.
His carefree manner obviously showed that he didn't take the man in embroidered clothes seriously.
"I really don't know where you get your confidence from. You're just a level four cultivator. I don't even need to send my guards."
The man in the brocade robe snickered in disdain. Even though his cultivation level was boosted by medicinal Dans, he was of the seventh level after all. Therefore, to him, he could kill Ling Xian with one finger.
"You can come and try." Ling Xian was calm and collected.
"Since you are in such a hurry to die, then I will fulfill your wish." The man in embroidered robes laughed coldly. He pointed out a finger and his spiritual energy surged.
However, it was blocked by the man in black.
Even though he was afraid, he still chose to attack.
"Not bad, I didn't help you for nothing." Ling Xian grinned. He didn't think the man in black would stand on his side after knowing the man's background.
"You dare to stop me? Are you tired of living?" The man in embroidered robes had a gloomy expression. He struck out with his palm, and divine light burst forth.
However, it was blocked again.
The one who had attacked was Master Hou. He glanced at the man in embroidered robes and said, "Young City Lord, can you wait a while before making your move? I have something to ask this person. "
Hearing this, the man in embroidered robes frowned slightly. He then looked at Ling Xian and coldly snickered, "I will give Master Hou some face and let you live a little longer. Young man, use the little time you have left."
"Thank you, Young City Lord." Master Hou smiled and shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "If I am not wrong, you are the one who saw through the composition of my three Dans."
"That's right." Ling Xian's expression was calm. He wasn't surprised.
It wasn't hard to guess. He was sitting next to the man in black. This was enough for Master Hou to connect the dots.
"The composition of a Dan is not easy to see through. Even a grandmaster may not have the ability to do so."
Master Hou stared at Ling Xian and his eyes heated up, "If I am not wrong, you have the legendary Essence of Herbalism. You can smell the Dan and know the recipe."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was a little startled. He didn't think Master Hou would connect it to the Essence of Herbalism. But after thinking about it, he understood.
Master Hou didn't understand the powerfulness of a grandmaster. Based on his knowledge, only the Essence of Herbalism can tell the composition of a Dan.
"So what? So what if I don't? "Ling Xian grinned. He didn't have the Essence of Herbalism, but he had the Omniscient Knowledge.
"I have a way to strip away the Essence of Herbalism." Master Hou's eyes were heated and he didn't hide his greed.
"In other words, you want to steal my Essence of Herbalism?" Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. Even though Master Hou was at the peak of the eighth level, his foundation was far too weak. He couldn't even defend against one attack from Ling Xian.
"The Essence of Herbalism is a treasure of alchemy. Leaving it on you is a waste."
"Plus, you are about to die. Instead of letting the Essence of Herbalism disappear with you, why don't you help me?"
Master Hou looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "Don't worry. I am only half a step away from the grandmaster level. I will not disgrace the Essence of Herbalism!"
"You have the nerve to say you are only half a step away from the grandmaster level? You are a frog at the bottom of a well. "
Ling Xian glared at Master Hou. He didn't even know that a grandmaster could tell the composition of a Dan. If he wasn't a frog at the bottom of a well, then what was he?
"You dare to call me a frog at the bottom of a well?" Master Hou laughed out of anger, "I have been cultivating for 1,300 years. I am the best alchemist in the City of Demons and the entire Yao Planet. You dare to look down on me?"
"Why wouldn't I?"
Ling Xian lost his composure and chuckled. He had been cultivating for less than 200 years and was already a grandmaster. Someone who had been cultivating for thousands of years and was merely at the peak of the grandmaster realm, how could he be so arrogant before him?
"Good, very good."
Master Hou gritted his teeth, "If you have the ability, then show it to me. If you don't, then stop talking nonsense!"
"I am afraid that if I show it to you, you will be too ashamed to show your face," Ling Xian said softly.
"I think you are the one who doesn't have the ability!" Master Hou coldly snickered, "Young man, if you don't have the ability, then stay low. Don't be too arrogant."
"Oh well, since you want to show your face, then I will make you understand why I call you a frog at the bottom of a well." Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. If Master Hou didn't want his Essence of Herbalism, then he wouldn't have attacked him.
But this person was so evil, how could he tolerate it?
At once, Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve and condensed his spiritual energy into a Dan.
This Dan could barely be considered a ninth realm Dan. Its effects were minimal and it was for sure the lowest quality Dan.
But the meaning behind it was shocking!
Anyone with a bit of knowledge in alchemy knows that not every grandmaster can condense their spiritual energy into a Dan. But those who can do so are all grandmasters, and they are the best of the best!
This was just like how it was a sign of being a grandmaster. There was no mistake about it!
The man in black was knowledgeable, and so was Master Hou.
Therefore, the two of them were stunned. They stared at the low quality Dan and their hearts were in turmoil.
Not even in their dreams did they think that the fourth leveled cultivator before them would be a grandmaster at the peak of alchemy!
