"Welcome sir, how can I help you?" The moment Ye Xiao entered the Alchemist Association, a young girl came to greet him.

Ye Xiao asked for the four medicinal herbs that will come use to refine the Ice Heart Pill.

However, this young girl was the same as Tao Mu. She also never heard the name of these medicinal herbs before. She excused herself to ask for the higher-ups to come.

After around ten minutes, that young lady came back with an old man. She pointed at Ye Xiao and said something to the old man in a low voice.

The old man arrived in front of Ye Xiao and said with a smile on his face, "Little friend, so it was who want to buy the four Sixth Grade Medicinal Herbs!"

Ye Xiao nodded his head and the old man again said, "Little friend, I know it is inappropriate but can I ask why you need these four medicinal herbs?"

Ye Xiao did not answer the old man. He only kept staring at the old man.

Seeing this, that old man started to feel embarrassed. He once again said with a smile, "I... tsk, leave it. Little brother, I'll be honest with you. In an ancient scripture that I got from an ancient ruin, I read about a sixth-grade medicinal pill called Ice Heart Pill that has around 40% of probability to grant an Ice Elemental Body to the one who eats this pill."

"The ingredient described there are also the same ones that you asked to buy. There was only one ingredient that you did not ask for and that is called Ice Lotus. A few months ago I heard that at the border of the Azure Dragon Empire and the White Tiger Empire, an Ice Lotus bloomed. Who get it, no one knows but somehow. So..."

At this moment, Ye Xiao frowned and asked, "So you guessed that it might be me who got the Ice Lotus?"

The old man again nodded his head and continued, "Little friend, please don't misunderstand me. I don't want the Ice Lotus from you. It is just the Ice Heart Pill is very rare and the method to refine this pill was already lost for more than a hundred thousand years. Even in the scripture I got, there was no description on how to concoct this pill."

"There are three medicinal herbs with me and I can give it to you but in exchange, I don't want money. I want the formula to refine the Ice Heart Pill."

When he said all of this, he stared at Ye Xiao but he was disappointed to see no reaction on his face.

"Are you that confident that I have the formula to refine the Ice Heart Pill?" After some time, Ye Xiao asked.

The old man once again smiled and said, "Well, I am not sure and it is only my guess but still, since you are here for these four medicinal herbs, there is a large possibility that you are buying these herbs for the Ice Heart Pill."

"You might know someone who can concoct this pill for you and if it is like this, then you need not exchange the formula of Ice Heart Pill for the Four medicinal herbs. You just have to introduce that person to me."

Ye Xiao took a long breath. It is not like he can not exchange the Ice Heart Pill's formula for the three medicinal herbs that the old man has. It is just that in front of this pill's formula, the value of three sixth-grade ingredients was very low.

But Ye Xiao still decided to accept the condition given by the old man. In the entire world, only he had the formula to refine the Ice Heart Pill. If he were to exchange, the old man can obtain the formula from him and in the future, he will pass down this formula to his disciples or someone else. This way, the Ice Heart Pill's formula can once again spread in the Holy Beast Continent which is a very good thing.

It is not like Ye Xiao wanted to do some social services, it is just that he did not value this formula much. He will soon break through to the Martial Saint Realm and then become and an Immortal, and ascended to the Upper Realm.

At that time, a mere Sixth Grade medicinal formula will be of no use to him but for the geniuses of this world, it is very useful.

Ye Xiao nodded his head and said, "I can exchange the Ice Heart Pill's formula for the three medicinal herbs but you have to at least tell me where I can find the other medicinal herb that is left."

When the old man heard Ye Xiao, he was immediately overjoyed. a big smile appeared on his face as he said, "Little brother, we only have Violet Lotus Grass, Three Thousand Years Old Thunder Bamboo, and Dead Tree Roots. As for the Crustal Ink Fruit, I heard that some time ago, the Zhu Family's patriarch announced that if anyone can refine a Mystical Rank Sword for his daughter, he will give the Crystal Ink Fruit and fifty thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones as the reward."

"The material to refine that sword will be given by the patriarch of the Zhu Family. If little brother can make someone refine a Mystic Rank Sword for the young lady of the Zhu Family, little brother can get the Crystal Ink Fruit."

Ye Xiao thought for a while and again asked, "Is there no one who can refine a Mystic Grade Sword in the Rain Country?"

"Little brother, there is one but not in the Rain Country but in the Imperial Country of the Azure Dragon Empire. But that person wants more rewards so he did not come to refine the sword for the young lady of the Zhu family."

Ye Xiao nodded his head and said, "Ok, give me a pen and paper, I will write the formula for you."

The old man looked at Ye Xiao suspiciously but still, he signalled the young lady who hurriedly went back and again appeared with a pen and paper as well as a spatial ring and gave it to the old man.

"Here!" The old man took the spatial ring from the young lady and took out the three medicinal herbs from it and gave it to Ye Xiao. At the same time, the young lady extended her hands, intended to give the pen and paper to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao first took the pen and paper and ignored the medicinal herbs. Then he wrote down the formula and gave it to the old man. Only then he took the medicinal herbs from the old.

That old man looked at the formula and seeing that there was no problem with the Ice Heart Pill's formula, he nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Little brother, thank you. I am the Pill King Xuan Feng. If there is anything you need my help with in the future, little brother can come and look for me. I will definitely do my best to help little brother."

Ye Xiao was surprised. Before this, the old man did not introduce himself nor did he asked for Ye Xiao's name. Only after completing the exchange of the herbs and the pill formula did the old man introduced himself as the Pill King.

Ye Xiao was surprised because he was actually making a deal with the Pill King. It was the first time when Ye Xiao met a Pill King.

Although he was surprised, it did not make him lose his composure as he himself was a Pill King at the moment. After breaking through to the Immortal Foundation Realm and ascending to the Upper Realm, he can unlock the remaining memories of the Ancient Pill God and at that time, he can become an Immortal Alchemist.

At this time, even the Pill King Xuan Feng was surprised. He was surprised because Ye Xiao did not react much even after knowing that he was a Pill King. But after thinking about the Ice Heart Formula, Pill King Xuan Feng was able to understand why Ye Xiao did not react much.

Since Ye Xiao had the Ice Heart Pill's Formula, he might know a Pill King as well. After all, he bought the medicinal ingredients for the Ice Heart Pill and Ice Heart Pill can only be refined by a Pill King.

Ye Xiao then asked about the location of the Zhu Family so that he can go there and help the patriarch of the Zhu Family by refining a Mystical rank Sword for his daughter. This way, he can get the fourth and final ingredient for the Ice Heart Pill and start concocting it.

After asking about the location, Ye Xiao bid his farewell and walked toward the Zhu family to get the final medicinal ingredient, the Crystal Ink Fruit.
