This scene left the onlookers completely dumbfounded.
Feeding a Demon Beast a Jade Dragon Pill?
Damn!
This was an Elixir Pill that countless Grand Martial Artists dreamed of, one they couldn’t obtain even with a fortune. And Xiao Dong was just feeding it to a Demon Beast?
What a colossal waste.
Blood Cry and Ghost Skull were also stunned.
They recalled how back when they were at the Grand Martial Artist Realm, they had to undertake dozens of dangerous missions just to get a single Jade Dragon Pill.
They had lost count of how many people they’d killed in the process.
Blood Cry said excitedly, "Heh heh, we’re going to be rich."
"Yeah!"
Ghost Skull grew excited as well.
They had just heard that the Xiao Family had reaped huge benefits from Qu Luo’s Tomb. They hadn’t paid it much mind at first, but they never expected it to be true.
This time, it would be hard not to strike it rich.
Under the envious gazes of the crowd, the Black Demon Wolf swallowed the Jade Dragon Pill and said gratefully, "Thank you, Young Master Dong. From now on, I am your Demon Pet. If you ask me to climb a mountain of daggers or plunge into a cauldron of boiling oil, I won’t even frown."
It had grown up in Qu Luo’s Tomb and been trapped for several hundred years, so it knew nothing about things like Elixir Pills.
However, from the envious looks in the crowd’s eyes, it could tell that this Elixir Pill was definitely something good.
GULP!
The Black Demon Wolf gulped down the Jade Dragon Pill.
The Striped Demon Tiger asked anxiously, "How is it, Old Wolf? Was the Elixir Pill Young Master Dong gave you tasty?"
The Black Demon Wolf said excitedly, "It melted the moment it entered my mouth, and it had a fresh fragrance. Huh... I feel like my power has increased."
"Your power increased?"
The Striped Demon Tiger’s face was filled with astonishment.
The Black Demon Wolf said, "Brother Hu, shield Young Master Dong with your body. I want to test how much my power has increased, and I don’t want to accidentally hurt him."
"Alright!"
The Striped Demon Tiger immediately used its massive body to shield Xiao Dong from the Black Demon Wolf.
The Black Demon Wolf took a deep breath and slammed a paw onto the ground.
BOOM!
The ground trembled violently, and then the entire Qingyang City began to shake.
"Half-Step Martial Monarch!"
Feeling the Black Demon Wolf’s terrifying power, the Striped Demon Tiger was utterly stunned.
’A single Elixir Pill actually has such a miraculous effect!’
The Black Demon Wolf said with a pleasant surprise, "Not only that, I feel like I’ll be able to break through to a Tier Five Great Demon soon, which is comparable to a true Martial Monarch expert."
The jaws of the surrounding onlookers dropped in shock.
’As expected of a Jade Dragon Pill.’
Although it hadn’t allowed the Black Demon Wolf a full breakthrough, its strength had increased severalfold. It could now crush any expert at the Grand Martial Artist Realm.
With this alone, the Xiao Family could do whatever they wanted in the Eighteen Kingdoms.
Everyone would have to show them respect.
GULP!
The Striped Demon Tiger swallowed hard and said shamelessly, "Young Master Dong, do you have any more of those Elixir Pills? I’d like one too."
"They’re all gone!"
Xiao Dong shook his head.
Just as the Striped Demon Tiger was about to be disappointed, it heard Xiao Dong say, "But I can go ask Brother Lang for one. He has dozens of them."
’Dozens...’
Hearing this, the onlookers went crazy.
They had spent half a lifetime trying to get just one Jade Dragon Pill, yet a mere disciple of the Xiao Family had dozens.
No wonder they were using them to feed Demon Beasts.
Blood Cry laughed excitedly, "Hahaha, we’re rich! We’re absolutely rich!"
Ghost Skull clenched his fists, equally ecstatic.
He had thought this would just be a small score, but he never imagined the Xiao Family was this wealthy.
After this one job, they would be set for life.
"What’s with all the noise!"
Just then, a cold shout came from within the Xiao Family courtyard. Immediately after, several young men walked out, led by none other than Xiao Lang.
Xiao Dong said, "Brother Lang, you’re here."
Xiao Lang nodded. "Xiao Dong, what’s going on? Is someone bullying you? Tell me, and I’ll get revenge for you."
"No one’s bullying me."
Xiao Dong shook his head. "Brother, I have good news. After Little Wolf took the Jade Dragon Pill, he now has the power of a Half-Step Martial Monarch."
"A Half-Step Martial Monarch?"
Xiao Lang’s face was full of surprise.
’Doesn’t this mean that from now on, our Xiao Family will have a Half-Step Martial Monarch Demon Beast guarding our gate?’
’So badass!’
’But that’s not enough. We need another one.’
Xiao Lang took out a Jade Dragon Pill and, in front of everyone, unhesitatingly tossed it into the Striped Demon Tiger’s mouth.
Damn it!
The Xiao Family was feeding a Jade Dragon Pill to a Demon Beast again!
The onlookers were going insane.
RUMBLE!
However, before they could even voice their objections, a terrifying aura erupted from the Striped Demon Tiger’s body, stunning everyone present.
’Two Half-Step Martial Monarch Demon Beasts guarding the gate?’
’Doesn’t this mean that to enter the Xiao Family’s estate in the future, you’d need to have Martial Monarch Level strength?’
"Our Empire is in for a major shake-up."
"It’s not just the Desolate Empire. With two Half-Step Martial Monarch Demon Pets, the entire Eighteen Kingdoms are in for a shake-up."
"Exactly. With the Xiao Family’s current power, even if the Sect Leader of the Beast Taming Sect came in person, he’d have to grovel. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even dream of getting in."
Previously, everyone had doubted the Xiao Family’s claim to be the number one family in the Eighteen Kingdoms.
Now, there were no doubts.
The Xiao Family was, without a doubt, the number one family in the Eighteen Kingdoms.
And this made Blood Cry even more excited.
He could sense that Xiao Lang was also a genius. His power was immense, like that of a ferocious tiger or beast.
The few people beside Xiao Lang were also rare geniuses.
They were on par with the disciples of any major power in the Northern Profound Domain.
Blood Cry grew more and more excited.
He had never dreamed he would run into so many geniuses at the Xiao Family. He could kill them all to his heart’s content in one go.
Ghost Skull, however, frowned.
’Something isn’t right here.’
’How could a minor family produce so many geniuses at once?’
’And every single one of them is a prodigy.’
Just as Ghost Skull was feeling puzzled, five figures flew over from the distant sky and landed in front of the Xiao Family’s gate.
It was the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.
Xiao Lang stepped forward in pleasant surprise and asked, "Valley Master Lu, you’re finally back! Where’s our Young Master? Why isn’t he with you?"
"Elder Su has gone to the Beast Taming Sect," the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley answered truthfully.
Xiao Lang frowned. "Didn’t the Young Master just leave the Beast Taming Sect a few days ago? Why did he go back? Could it be that something happened at the Beast Taming Sect?"
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley nodded. "Something did indeed happen at the Beast Taming Sect. But there’s no need to worry, Young Master Lang. With Elder Su’s current strength, he can easily crush those troublemakers."
"Alright."
Although Xiao Lang was worried, there was nothing he could do. He then looked at the people beside the Valley Master and asked, "And these people are...?"
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley pointed to two of them and introduced, "These two are Master Mo and Master Jia. Like myself, they are both Fourth-grade Alchemists."
Xiao Lang said politely, "This junior, Xiao Lang, greets you two elders."
"There’s no need for such formalities, Young Master Lang."
Master Mo quickly returned the gesture. "Master Jia and I have already received Elder Su’s permission to become his esteemed Medicine Boys. From now on, we’re all family."
"Medicine Boys?"
Xiao Lang was completely bewildered.
’Does our Young Master also practice alchemy? Why else would he take on Medicine Boys?’
’And two Fourth-grade Alchemists at that.’
’How come I never knew about this?’
But Xiao Lang quickly regained his composure.
He was used to it.
Su Mo had given them far too many surprises.
Forget taking two Fourth-grade Alchemists as Medicine Boys; he wouldn’t even be too surprised if Su Mo brought the heavens crashing down.
However, the crowd of onlookers exploded into an uproar.
