Chapter 240: Pain In Soul

A serious discussion immediately started in the hall of the Su Family. They decided to give Ye Xiao whatever he wants, and the responsibility to take care of Ye Xiao was put on Su Xue Er's shoulder.
When one of the elders asked what ingredients Ye Xiao needed to refine the pill to open the blocked meridians of Su Lin, only then did Su Xue Er realize that she forgot to ask about the ingredients needed to refine the pill for her brother.
She told her father about it who slapped his head lightly after hearing her. He told her to go back to Ye Xiao and ask. He did not have to wait for long as Su Xue Er returned with a list on a paper in her hand.
She gave the paper to her father who looked at the list of ingredients written on the paper and said, "We don't have some of these herbs. I will personally give him the medicinal herbs after gathering them."
Others nodded their head and the topic of their discussion changed.
The head of Su Family said, "There are only twenty days left before the time given by the young master of the Hundred Sword Sect will end. He will come here soon. We have to be prepared for that!"
.....
Currently, Ye Xiao was refining the Blaze Yuan Pills for the Su Family. He decided to refine a hundred Blaze Yuan Pills and it took him two days to refine them.
After two days, Ye Xiao came out of his room and saw a young boy just outside his room's door. He let the boy lead him to the hall where he gave them those Blaze Yuan Pills and after telling them that he intended to go into seclusion for a few days, he returned back to his room.
After returning, he directly entered the Heavenly Pearl to complete the final step so that he can start cultivating the Third Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and form the third dragon.
He directly went to the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda and sat down there cross-legged, and started circulating the Second Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique to complete the final step.
Time slowly passed.
As Ye Xiao started circulating the Second Layer of his cultivation technique, the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon inside his Divine Sea started to become smaller and smaller as if it was being compressed by a mysterious power.
Although it was becoming smaller and smaller, there was no panic in the eyes of Divine Soul Emperor Dragon. Instead, there was excitement in its eyes as if its long-awaited dream was going to come true soon.
Three days later which was equivalent to only one day outside, inside Ye Xiao's Divine Sea, the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon was compressed to the point where it was left with an only one-meter long body, and what was more, it actually turned into a big transparent egg with the mysterious light blue pattern engraved on its shell.
One more day later, the shell of the egg started to crack and its speed of cracking was increasing with every passing second. Not long after, that egg was filled with cracks and it looked as though it is about to explode.
"BOOM!"
The egg exploded and a vast amount of soul energy spread out in Ye Xiao's Divine Sea. Along with the soul force, a beautiful dragon soared in the sky of his Divine Sea.
Ye Xiao did not understand why the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon transformed into an egg then after the egg exploded, it once again came out with a large amount of soul force, but since the soul force was already filling his entire Divine Sea, he greedily started to absorb them.
Roar!
Suddenly, from Ye Xiao's body, a burst of energy surged out, pierced through all nine floors of the Nine Story Pagoda, and went straight into the sky and roared loudly with a domineering voice that could shake the heavens.
"Roar!"
Ye Xiao was stunned when he saw this. It happened once again. Before this, the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon had also come out of his body then it merged with him.
Now, it happened a second time. This time, the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon came out of his body and soared to the sky.
Seeing this situation, a possibility appeared in his mind but this was a very crazy thought.
"Roar!"
The Divine Soul Emperor Dragon roared toward the sky and with an extremely fast speed, it flew back toward Ye Xiao.
Seeing this, Ye Xiao knew that the possibility he just thought was going to come true, so he hurriedly prepared himself.
Unlike what happened with the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon, this time, the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon did not start to merge with his body, instead, it directly entered his Divine Sea through the space between his brows and started to merge with his soul.
"Crap!" Just as Ye Xiao felt elated, his complexion suddenly changed greatly. An unprecedented fear emerged in his eyes.
"Ahhh!"
Ye Xiao started to scream as a horrible pain suddenly shook his entire body. If it was physical pain, he could still endure but the pain this time was coming out from his soul.
The Divine Soul Emperor Dragon was slowly becoming one with his Ancient Divine Soul which resulted in so much pain that he directly lost his consciousness and fainted.
Although Ye Xiao lost his consciousness, he was still groaning pain from time to time as the pain he was feeling was simply unendurable.
Ye Xiao did not know how long he remained unconscious but when he opened his eyes, he was already outside the Heavenly Pearl, and someone was knocking on the gate of his room.
At first, Ye Xiao was absent-minded, but after a while, he was able to perceive everything thoroughly.
Knock! Knock!
Before he could check his Divine Sea, the knock on the door once again came. Ye Xiao stood up and opened the door. There he saw Su Xue Er standing. He invited her in and indicated her with his hands to sit down on the chair while he himself sat down on the chair opposite to that.
Su Xue Er sat down, took a long breath, and said, "I know that you were in seclusion and I should not have bothered you but believe me, this matter is extremely important so I had no choice but to disturb you."
"It's alright!" Ye Xiao waved his hand said, "I was also about to end my seclusion so you don't need to worry."
"Only after two days?" Su Xue Er was surprised that Ye Xiao entered seclusion for only two days.
Ye Xiao was also surprised but he was surprised for another reason. Two days here means he spent six days inside the First Floor of the Nine Story Pagoda.
He still remembered that the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon started to merge with his Ancient Divine Soul on the fourth day. It means it took him two whole days to completely merge with the Divine Soul Emperor Dragon.
Su Xue Er instantly realized that she should not ask something which has nothing to do with her, mainly when she was not that familiar with Ye Xiao.
She took a deep breath and asked, "Can you tell me how strong you are?"
Ye Xiao looked at her in confusion as he was unable to understand why Su Xue Er was asking him about his cultivation.
Seeing his questioning look, Su Xue Er hesitated for a while then said, "I have already told you about the Su Family's trouble. Do you remember the treasure I talked about before?"
Ye Xiao nodded his head, indicating that he still remembered.
Su Xue Er took a deep breath and said, "I want to go to the top floor of the tower to search for that treasure. The young master of the Hundred Sword is going to come here in the next eighteen days. My Su Family does not have the strength to fight the Hundred Sword Sect."
"If my Su Family were to be destroyed, the young master of the Hundred Sword Sect will definitely invite the only Martial Saint of his sect to search for that treasure at the top floor of the tower. If that were to happen, then maybe he will get his hand on the treasure."
"I don't want that to happen so after discussing with everyone in the family, my father decided to look for the treasure but we have already looked many times and did not find anything."
After saying till here, SU Xue Er stopped. Ye Xiao also took a long breath at this moment as he understood everything.
He said, "So your father decided to ask me to help you look for the treasure. Since I am Pill King and no one in the Su Family can see through my cultivation, they knew that I am stronger than them, and there is a large possibility for me to find that treasure, right?"
Su Xue Er dropped her head in embarrassment but this was the truth so she nodded her head and confirmed Ye Xiao.
