The emotion in the old man's heart finally calmed down when he saw Xiao Yan lift his foot and walk toward the tunnel. He immediately turned his gaze, and his face was cold as he looked at the remaining few attendants. He angrily reprimanded.
"You blind thing, why aren't you dragging this bastard away? He's making a fool of himself here. In the future, he doesn't need to stay in the family anymore. He can go to the mercenary team outside the city!"
The expressions on the faces of the few attendants swiftly changed when they heard the furious reprimand. Their faces carried a dense fear. After which, they hurriedly walked to the front of the attendant who had fainted after being stomped by Xiao Yan. On one hand, they felt sorrow for this fellow in their hearts while on the other, they also bitterly looked at each other and rejoiced in their hearts.
Although the mercenary group outside the city was also formed by a group of Half-emperor experts, their hunting targets were also not weak.
Under normal circumstances, it was nothing much to encounter a low level Half-emperor level Magical Beast. However, they were afraid of those high level Magical Beasts. Those fellows were terrifyingly strong.
Their mercenary group had been unable to return from the hands of Magical Beasts of that level several times. At this moment, this old man's punishment was equivalent to pushing them to a dead end.
Xiao Yan, who had just walked to the entrance of the stairs, could not help but pause his footsteps after hearing the old man's words. He turned his head slightly and narrowed his eyes as he looked at the old man with interest.
The old man's action had undoubtedly caused Xiao Yan to have no reason to continue attacking. However, at the same time, it could be said that he had helped Xiao Yan vent his anger. Since both of them had a way out, Xiao Yan could no longer open his mouth to say anything.
The old man appeared to have sensed Xiao Yan's gaze. The fierceness that was revealed on his old face a moment ago disappeared in an instant. Instead, it was replaced by a warm smile. The old man cupped his hands to Xiao Yan and said with a smile on his face.
"According to the rules of the pavilion, it is inconvenient for this old man to accompany you. Mister, please go up to the second floor alone. There will naturally be someone up there to receive you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan once again glanced at the old man. Light flickered in his eyes. Soon after, he no longer paid any attention to the old man. With a light lift of his feet, he moved towards the second floor.
It wasn't until Xiao Yan's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs that the old man withdrew his gaze. His pair of old eyes revealed a trace of solemnity. Although he didn't know who this black-robed youth was, from the other party's Spiritual Strength, he could tell that he was a rank two alchemist. Not bad, even he couldn't easily touch an alchemist of this level.
"Hmph."
After glaring at the attendants again, the old man retracted his gaze hatefully. With a wave of his sleeve, he once again sat cross-legged in the hall. As for the others, they took advantage of this time to leave the Four Directions Pavilion.
After stepping onto the second floor, Xiao Yan spread out his Spiritual Strength. Immediately, he was able to detect many experts with powerful auras. On the second floor, there were a total of three nine star Half Martial Emperors. As for the others, even the weakest among them was a six star Half Martial Emperor.
When Xiao Yan appeared on the second floor, the crowd present all turned their curious gazes to Xiao Yan. Immediately, astonishment flashed past the eyes of many people present.
Never would they have imagined that the person who had stepped onto the second floor of the Four Directions Pavilion would be such a young person.
One must know that the rules of the Four Directions Pavilion were very strict. Even though the owner of the Four Directions Pavilion rarely bothered with the first floor, the second floor was not a place that just anyone could enter.
If one wanted to enter the second floor of the Four Directions Pavilion, one must either possess a strength of at least a six star Half Martial Emperor or possess an extremely powerful Spiritual Strength. At the very least, one must be a rank two alchemist or a formation master.
However, at this moment, no matter how the crowd thought about it, they were unable to imagine how this seemingly young black gowned young man would be able to meet the two requirements.
However, at the same time, the crowd also understood that since this person was able to step onto the second floor with such graceful footsteps, it was likely that the person on the first floor had already personally tested him. Otherwise, this black gowned young man before them would definitely not appear here.
However, other than those surprised gazes, the expression in the eyes of a certain old man in the square involuntarily hardened when he saw Xiao Yan. An extremely obscure glint instantly flashed deep within his turbid old eyes. Soon after, he recovered his calmness.
Xiao Yan did not discover this small change. After ignoring the astonished gazes of the crowd, he raised his foot and walked toward a counter with relatively fewer people in the hall.
Only at this moment did the crowd come back to their senses. Soon after, a white-haired old man quickly walked toward Xiao Yan with a face full of smiles. He first cupped his hands in an extremely courteous manner. After that, with a face full of smiles, he warmly smiled at Xiao Yan and said,
"Haha, mister, do you need to purchase something? This old man is the manager of this place. If mister needs anything, please feel free to ask. As long as it is something that my Four Directions Pavilion can afford, we will definitely not be stingy."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression did not change much. After seeing the group of people on the first floor, Xiao Yan did not believe that the group of people before him would be any better than them.
However, regardless of what Xiao Yan was thinking at this moment, the words from the old man's mouth were what Xiao Yan wanted to hear the most right now.
A thought passed through Xiao Yan's mind. He extended two of his fingers and gently shook them in the empty space in front of him. Immediately, a piece of parchment filled with various natural treasures appeared in Xiao Yan's hand.
"Do you have the items on this list?"
Xiao Yan casually handed the list in his hand to the old man in front of him as he asked with an indifferent expression.
Although Xiao Yan's words appeared to be spoken in a relaxed manner with an extremely calm manner, as though the things on this list were dispensable and unimportant, the old man in front of him did not know just how anxious Xiao Yan's heart was at this moment.
Facing this kind of old fox, if Xiao Yan really revealed the true thoughts in his heart on his face, he would undoubtedly be asked for an exorbitant price by this old man. On the contrary, if Xiao Yan's expression was calm, this old man would not dare to casually raise the price.
Xiao Yan had seen many people like this who would raise the price on the spot.
Of course, even though his expression did not change, as if he did not care at all, Xiao Yan was extremely concerned in his heart.
After all, this was a big matter that concerned whether he could enter the rank three alchemist or not. Whether it was the two medicinal pills or the Spiritual Force, Xiao Yan could not remain calm.
After receiving the list, the old man's turbid gaze first randomly swept over it. Immediately following this, a surprise involuntarily flashed across his pair of old eyes. At the same time that his expression changed slightly, the old man raised his gaze and immediately looked at Xiao Yan. He asked in a solemn voice, "Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"
"You are a rank three alchemist?"
Hearing this, the expression in Xiao Yan's eyes was slightly startled at first, but soon after, he looked at the old man without commenting and asked in a deep voice:
"Just tell me, do you have the items on this list here?"
Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, the old man did not dare to underestimate him. From the medicinal ingredients on the list, it was not difficult to see that the medicinal pill that was being refined was undoubtedly a rank three medicinal pill. Seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, then his guess was not wrong.
Without hesitation, the old man quickly nodded his head and said with certainty:
"Sir, we do!"
