Since Xiaoyao currently had no way to break through, he continued improving his constitution, by now his body had the most perfect constitution in history, the strongest and most resilient tendons and bones, once he entered true cultivation, that speed would be absolutely terrifying, the current speed of Guxing and Zhan Bai would be child's play compared to him.
Of course, the prerequisite was he could break through, although his constitution was now improved to perfection and his meridians forged to be resilient, the problem was his qi deviation aftereffects still existed, preventing him from breaking through this basic skills state.
However Xiaoyao wasn't anxious, not only because he could catch up later, but also for the most important reason, he currently didn't need such powerful martial force.
Just a servant, having his current martial ability was more than enough, those who could kill him wouldn't make moves against such a small servant, even if they did, Xiaoyao would have ways to escape, although his martial power couldn't compare to theirs, he could still preserve his life.
Xiaoyao was proficient in quite a few life-preservation skills, wanting to kill him was really somewhat difficult.
What Xiaoyao needed to do now was cultivate Guxing, make Guxing become someone standing at the pinnacle of warriors, incidentally also guide Young Miss, coincidentally give pointers to Mo Mo and Nangong Suxin and others.
Xiaoyao felt what was the point of becoming number one under heaven himself, if he could make Guxing become number one under heaven, that would be fulfilling.
At that time he would become the number one servant under heaven, think about it, which servant could cultivate their master to become number one under heaven, he could do it, could others.
A few days before departure, on an afternoon, Xiaoyao was humming a tune, preparing to continue making pills, he wanted to finish all the materials just obtained in the last few days, and this time Xiaoyao was much more serious.
Because this time Xiaoyao wanted more things, with higher value too, this time he wanted to make high-level pills.
Due to the previous confirmations, especially Princess Ke Xin's strong support, now the responsible officials no longer doubted Xiaoyao's medicine use, fully satisfying Xiaoyao's requirements as long as they weren't too excessive.
Xiaoyao also took the opportunity to request some high-level materials, preparing to make high-level pills, speaking of making high-level pills, if someone knew Xiaoyao was preparing to make high-level pills, they would definitely be greatly shocked.
It wasn't that there were few people who could make high-level pills, in Heavenly Wind Kingdom there were still quite a few, but at Xiaoyao's age there were absolutely none, not just in Heavenly Wind Kingdom, even the entire continent didn't have any.
Making high-level pills required technique and fire control, all needing extremely high control, this required many years of practice to master, alchemists who made high-level pills were at least forty years old, and higher level top-grade pills were even harder to master.
At the same time, even if one could make top-grade pills, there was still a certain failure rate, and this probability was very high, possibly seven or eight failures out of ten attempts.
This was because top-grade pills' techniques and fire control had reached a demanding level, no one could master them perfectly without flaws, all might have deviations, and deviations basically meant the pills were ruined.
Top-grade pills' materials were all the highest grade, naturally high cost, plus such high failure rates, therefore the preciousness of top-grade pills was imaginable.
Because of the above reasons, even though Xiaoyao requested these high-level medicinal materials, no one thought he would make high-level pills, just felt he would use them to make some low or intermediate level medicines.
Low and intermediate level pills also used high-level materials, for better medicinal effects, at the same time some materials were irreplaceable, no matter what level, these materials were needed.
Also, Xiaoyao had already requested some high-level materials before, from previous purchases he had already gotten them. This way he could not only make people unclear about his formulas, but also disguise his intention to make high-level pills.
"Hey? you in front, stop."
While Xiaoyao was humming a tune walking through the palace, a voice came over.
Xiaoyao looked around, saw someone standing not far behind him, then continued humming his tune and moving forward.
"..."
If Xiaoyao hadn't seen him that would be one thing, but he clearly saw him just now yet still ignored him like this, this made the person first stunned, then filled with rage.
This person was none other than Fourth Prince whom Xiaoyao had met once or twice, during these three months he had never encountered this Fourth Prince.
"Hey, kid, I told you to stop, didn't you hear," Fourth Prince roared.
Xiaoyao continued ignoring him, still moving forward.
Fourth Prince's face darkened, he flashed in front of Xiaoyao, angrily saying, "What do you mean by this."
"What?" Xiaoyao had a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand what happened.
"Stop pretending, pretending you can't see me," Fourth Prince continued raging.
"No, I saw you, I saw you before," Xiaoyao shook his head, "My eyes haven't deteriorated, my vision is very good."
"Then your ears have problems, didn't you hear me tell you to stop?" Fourth Prince said coldly.
"I heard you," Xiaoyao continued.
"Then why did you keep walking?" Fourth Prince questioned, since you saw and heard, why did you ignore me and continue walking.
"Why, were you calling me?" Xiaoyao asked strangely.
"..." Fourth Prince was silent for a while, "Besides you and me, is there anyone else here, I was naturally calling you."
"Oh, then what does Fourth Prince Your Highness need?" Xiaoyao asked.
"I heard you made some pills with quite good effects, Ke Xin gave me some to try, indeed better than ordinary pills, do you have more, give me several hundred," Fourth Prince said.
Although Fourth Prince saying several hundred was somewhat much, for this kind of pill it actually wasn't much, generally this kind of pill could be used several per day, over time it added up.
Unless one was truly super wealthy, generally people used such pills to assist qi cultivation, high-level ones were too expensive and their medicinal effects weren't easily absorbed, compared to that Xiaoyao's previously made pills were more suitable.
Because of this, low and intermediate level pills were the continent's best sellers, generally alchemist families relied on this to make money, a high volume low profit model, though the profit actually wasn't low.
In fact, Xiaoyao's pills' medicinal power was better than ordinary ones but inferior to high-level ones, could be absorbed without waste, making them more suitable for cultivation.
This was why after eating Xiaoyao's pills, these people's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, catching up and surpassing others.
At this time no one understood that actually Xiaoyao's pills weren't ordinary qi cultivation pills, he had modified the formulas, optimizing them, naturally the effects were better.
"Sorry, I'm only responsible for making them, if you want, you need to ask Miss Nangong, she handles everything," Xiaoyao smiled, then pulled out Nangong Suxin as a shield.
As a servant, encountering such matters, he definitely had to pull out someone like Nangong Suxin to block.
In Xiaoyao's words, they should carry this blame, who told them to insist on giving pills to others, attracting other people's attention.
Others didn't know Xiaoyao made them, but with Fourth Prince's status, he could find out just by asking.
"No need to ask, just make them and give them to me," Fourth Prince said coldly, his tone completely commanding with a bit of disdain.
Even if Xiaoyao was stupid he could see this attitude, Fourth Prince's meaning was, you a little servant should obediently listen, me talking to you is already giving you face.
Fourth Prince never thought Xiaoyao would refuse, he felt this was impossible, he was a dignified prince while the other was just a little servant, would he dare refuse.
Naturally he dared, Xiaoyao immediately gave this answer, making Fourth Prince understand one thing, he was wrong.
"Then sorry, I won't give you any pills, if you want them please have your own alchemist make them," Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Fourth Prince stared at Xiaoyao, as if he couldn't understand what Xiaoyao was saying.
"Don't understand, I said it so clearly, you still don't understand, your brain can't be this stupid. Sigh..." Xiaoyao sighed, "If you become king in future, then Heavenly Wind Kingdom is hopeless."
Fourth Prince's face immediately darkened, he discovered this little servant Xiaoyao was actually so impolite and bold, not only refusing his request but even daring to mock him.
"Audacious, do you not want to live?"
"May I ask Fourth Prince, why do you say this, which law of Heavenly Wind Kingdom have I violated, why say I don't want to live, could it be just because I refused you?" Xiaoyao said very impolitely.
If it were other princes or princesses, Xiaoyao might be more tactful, wouldn't make people feel he was refusing, just that there was no way, this point Xiaoyao could definitely do.
But Fourth Prince in front was different, Xiaoyao very much disliked his methods, what he disliked most was that he actually targeted his boss, this made him very displeased, boss's enemies were his enemies, he wouldn't be polite.
"Good, really not bad, your courage is commendable, but you forgot where this place is," Fourth Prince's face changed from black to white unpredictably.
"Isn't this just the royal palace, is there something different?" Xiaoyao looked completely unconcerned.
"Since you know this is the royal palace, you should know that killing you would be like killing an ant, and no one would say anything about me," Fourth Prince smiled, smiled sinisterly.
"Nonsense, I know, but I'm certain someone will stop you, also I'm not necessarily just an ant," Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"Then you're a little bug, much bigger than an ant," Fourth Prince smiled darkly.
Was there a difference in these words, both were things that could be killed with one step.
