"No!" Mu Yang said firmly. "Young Master has done me a great favor. I'm willing to serve Young Master for the rest of my life and be your old servant!"
"I don't accept old servants. I'm used to being alone!" Xiao Fan shook his head.
Xiao Fan had been used to being alone for a long time and did not like others to serve him respectfully. After establishing the Magic Kingdom, Xiao Fan's daily life and other aspects were all handled by his close female friends. In the huge Magic Palace, there were almost no maids.
Now that Mu Yang wanted to use the rest of his life to repay this favor, Xiao Fan's first reaction was naturally to refuse, because Xiao Fan was really not used to it.
However!
"Young Master, please grant me your permission!" Mu Yang kowtowed again, and his forehead and the ground made an extremely dull sound. Then, he said in an incomparably firm voice.
Seeing Mu Yang like this, Xiao Fan suddenly stopped talking. He could see Mu Yang's persistence and determination. He knew that if he did not agree, Mu Yang would not get up.
"Fine, then you can stay by my side as an old servant for the time being!" Xiao Fan finally didn't refuse, and instead agreed.
"Thank you, Young Master!" Hearing Xiao Fan's permission, Mu Yang instantly became excited. Then, he stood up from the ground and stood at the entrance of the elegant courtyard with his hands by his side like a loyal old servant, waiting for Xiao Fan's instructions.
Looking at all this, everyone was dumbfounded!
No matter what, Mu Yang was still the Eighth Elder of the Long River Sect. Although he was not known for his strength, he was knowledgeable and had a certain status. However, now, Mu Yang had become an old servant by Xiao Fan's side. This change was really unexpected, and no one could react in time.
The surroundings were completely silent. After an entire hour passed, no one spoke a single word!
During this hour, everyone from the Great West Prefecture, including Zhao Lingyang, held their breaths and focused their gazes on the small, elegant courtyard that Xiao Fan was temporarily staying in. They did not know when it started, but all of a sudden, their breaths became abnormally heavy, and their faces began to flush.
Today, no one could have imagined that the pill that countless Alchemists had been researching but had never been able to truly refine would suddenly appear in this world in a way that caught everyone off guard.
The Eighth Elder of the Long River Sect, Mu Yang, was the best example and proof of the effects of this pill.
When this pill truly appeared in the world, after a short period of silence and shock, countless people went crazy.
Quite a few people had used the Blood Escape Art before. This was because cultivators had to constantly fight against the heavens and against other people since they embarked on the path of cultivation. Almost every cultivator would encounter a desperate situation in their life where they were on the verge of death.
At this time, the Blood Escape Art was one of the strongest escape arts. Naturally, it was listed as one of the must-learn arts by many cultivators.
In theory, as long as one burned enough cultivation, one's escape speed could be increased infinitely. There was no upper limit. Although there was still no guarantee that one could escape from a desperate situation in the end, the probability of escaping would be very high.
Therefore, there were countless people who had used the Blood Escape Technique to burn their cultivation base. The reason why the Sky Sword Mountain had been researching this kind of elixir was because many important figures in the Sky Sword Mountain had used the Blood Escape Technique and burned their cultivation base for more than a thousand years. It was almost impossible for them to return to their peak state because they did not have the remaining thousand years of lifespan to cultivate again.
Moreover, the Sky Sword Mountain was not the only overlord force of the Spirit Realm researching this pill. The other overlord forces of the Spirit Realm were also researching it. Their situation was similar to the Sky Sword Mountain's and they needed this pill very much.
Now that Xiao Fan had refined this pill under the watchful eyes of countless people in Hundred Flame City, one could imagine what kind of great waves it would cause in the Great West Prefecture and even the entire Spirit Realm.
Another moment of silence!
"Sect Master, something big has happened …!"
"Laozu, I have an extremely important matter to report …!"
"Immediately inform my father to come out of seclusion. The matter I have to report is of great importance. There cannot be any delay …!"
The Lion's Roar Saintess, the Southern Crown Prince, the Purple Cloud Hall Saint Son, and the Nine Leaf Saint Son all opened their Sound Transmission Bells and forcefully suppressed the intense emotions in their hearts. Then, they calmed their minds and took a few deep breaths to calm their trembling bodies. They began to report the matter truthfully to their respective sects.
"Sect Master, Elder Mu Yang has already …!" Zhao Lingyan also opened her Sound Transmission Bell with a complicated expression and then reported to the Sect Master of the Eternal River Sect.
However, before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted.
"I already know about the matter on your side!" The Sect Master of the Eternal River Sect said in an extremely urgent voice from the other end of the Sound Transmission Bell. "Now, you stay there and don't go anywhere. As for me, I will lead all the elders in the sect to Hundred Flame City!"
As soon as the Sect Master finished speaking, the Sound Transmission Bell was hung up without waiting for Zhao Lingyan to say anything. Zhao Lingyan was left standing there with the Sound Transmission Bell in her hand. She was completely absent-minded.
Waking up from her daze, Zhao Lingyan looked at the elegant little courtyard where Xiao Fan was staying with a complicated expression on her face. Embarrassment, embarrassment, bitterness, and various other emotions were on her face.
At the same time, a trace of joy flashed across Zhao Lingyan's face. Fortunately, Mu Yang had prepared the herbs by accident, which led to Xiao Fan opening the cauldron to refine the pill in the end. Otherwise, who knew how long it would take for this pill to appear in the world, and Mu Yang's three hundred years of cultivation would not be able to return.
If the matter was investigated, the culprit behind all this would be her.
Fortunately, it didn't lead to a disaster!
Zhao Lingyan composed herself and then took a few deep breaths to force herself to calm down. After that, she intended to go up and greet Xiao Fan to apologize for her ignorance and stupidity yesterday. However, before she could really move, the door to the elegant little courtyard was opened from the inside, and Xiao Fan slowly walked out from within.
When they saw Xiao Fan walk out, the originally bustling crowd instantly became absolutely silent once more. Everyone's gazes were focused on Xiao Fan.
"I almost forgot something. I remember that when I started refining the pill, someone said that if I could refine a pill, I would break my own hands on the spot and never refine pills again?" Xiao Fan's gloomy eyes swept across the crowd outside the Fairsnow Manor as he spoke indifferently.
In an instant, everyone's gazes were focused on Grandmaster Wang, who had just woken up from his coma. Grandmaster Wang's old face instantly became extremely red after Xiao Fan pointed out his previous words in front of everyone, and then everyone's gazes focused on him. Grandmaster Wang's old face instantly became incomparably red, and faintly, it seemed to become swollen.
"You were the one who said it, right?" Xiao Fan looked at Grandmaster Wang from afar and said indifferently.
In the face of Xiao Fan's words, Grandmaster Wang's old face was already as red as a cooked crab. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out of his mouth.
"Since you said that I could refine a pill, you had to break your own hands. Now that I have refined a pill, it is time for you to break your own hands!" Xiao Fan spoke again, his voice as indifferent as before.
"Break your own hands!" Grandmaster Wang's face instantly turned red and swollen. At the same time, it suddenly turned pale and colorless, like a piece of paper.
It was needless to say how important the hands were to an alchemist. Without their hands, the alchemist was basically a complete piece of trash.
Now that Xiao Fan had asked him to break his own hands on the spot, Grandmaster Wang's heart was naturally filled with fear and unwillingness.
"What are you waiting for? Break your own hands and do as you say. I will give you ten breaths of time to do this. If you still can't do it when the time is up, then I will do it for you! " Xiao Fan's gloomy eyes were as deep as the abyss. One could not hear any emotions in his voice as he spoke in an extremely calm manner.
"Young master, this old man, knows his mistake!" Grandmaster Wang's expression kept changing. Then, he gritted his teeth and unwillingly bowed slightly. He cupped his hands and said to Xiao Fan.
"You still have eight breaths of time!" Xiao Fan was unmoved. He only glanced at him and said.
"Young Master, don't go too far. It's true that my master said such words, but those were unintentional words. Moreover, he has already lowered himself to apologize to you. How can you be so overbearing and not have the slightest bit of tolerance?" A boy beside Grandmaster Wang walked out. His face was filled with righteous indignation as he angrily criticized Xiao Fan.
"That's right, young master. Everyone says and does something wrong. Grandmaster Wang is no exception. Moreover, he has already apologized to you. You should be magnanimous and not bicker with Grandmaster Wang over this matter!" Several young alchemists who seemed to be Grandmaster Wang's disciple, Mu Yang, walked out and cupped their hands at Xiao Fan. Although their voices were very polite, they still hinted that Xiao Fan was being overbearing.
"No matter what, Grandmaster Wang is the number one alchemist in our Hundred Flame City. His status is extremely high and he is deeply respected by countless people. Young master, you have already defeated Grandmaster Wang and obtained the reputation you wanted. Why do you have to be so overbearing and not give him a chance to breathe? Where it is possible to make mistakes, one should be lenient! " An old man who seemed to be very reputable in Hundred Flame City and had a very good personal relationship with Grandmaster Wang walked out. He had a compassionate look on his face as he earnestly advised Xiao Fan.
"You still have three breaths of time!" Xiao Fan's gloomy eyes lowered as he spoke.
"Young master, you've gone too far!" Seeing that Xiao Fan was still unwilling to relent, the old man's expression immediately changed. His voice turned cold as he reprimanded.
