Chapter 110: To Be Born Treasure

When Ye Xiao finished his meal, he saw two people walking toward him. One of them was the previous attendant and another one was a middle aged man.

"Hello dear customer, I am the manager of this Phoenix Restaurant. You can call me manager Ma. I heard that you want to go to the second floor to enjoy the delicacies there. Is that true?" After arriving in front of Ye Xiao, manager Ma greeted him with a big smile and asked if it is true that he want to go to the second floor of the Phoenix Restaurant.

Ye Xiao looked at him and nodded his head, saying, "Yes, I am really very interested."

Manager Ma smiled and said, "It is not impossible for you to go to the second floor of the Phoenix Restaurant but there is a 'special' fee that you need to pay first if you want to go up there when you don't have the required strength."

"Oh! how much?" Ye Xiao frowned as he felt that something was amiss here. It was the first time he saw such rules in a restaurant. This middle aged man was the manager of this restaurant but he personally came to meet him when he heard that Ye Xiao wants to go to the second floor of the restaurant.

He looked at the attendant and then turned his gaze to look at manager Ma. As if he understood something, he let out a soft sigh and murmured, "I should not have given this attendant a piece of low grade spirit stone."

Ye Xiao had already eaten a lot so he said, "Maybe next time. I have already eaten my fill. As it is my first time in the Southwood City, I will stay here for a few days. When I'll come here next time, at that time, I would like to go to the second floor of this restaurant. When I was eating, I heard quite a few people talking that the second floor is very different from the first floor specially the wine there. I would like to enjoy all of these next time."

What Ye Xiao told was the truth. Even though he understood the intension of this manager Ma, he still wanted to come here again. What he did not lacking the most is spirit stones. So, even if he gave some spirit stones, it will not matter.

When manager Ma heard him, he remained silent for a while. After a short while, he took out a token and gave it to Ye Xiao while saying, "When you will come here next time, show this token to any one of my men here and they will lead you to the second floor."

Ye Xiao took the token from manager Ma and looked at it. It was actually only a normal wooden token but it was very hard. Whole token was coloured in light Yellow. A picture of Phoenix was engraved on one side of the token while on the other side of the token, there was actually a man's face.

Ye Xiao stored this token in his spatial ring and said his goodbye to manager Ma. After doing all of this, he left the restaurant after paying the bill. But this time, he did not paid the bill with spirit stones but gold coins.

Manager Ma kept looking at Ye Xiao's disappearing figure and when Ye Xiao completely disappeared form his line of sight, he turned at the attendant and said, "When he'll come here next time, inform me immediately."

"Yes manager Ma. But...." That attendant hesitated to say something.

"Say it." Seeing him hesitating, Manager Ma coldly said. His previous smile was long gone.

"Manager Ma, do you really think he will come here again?" Finally, that attendant decided to say what he wanted to ask previously.

"He will." After saying this, manager Ma also disappeared from the sight of that attendant.

Previously, he was observing Ye Xiao. When he talked about the 'special' fee, he saw Ye Xiao frowning. At that he saw through Ye Xiao. He knew that Ye Xiao already understood what he was actually planning but even after that he calmly talked with him and then left.

In his opinion, there is only two reason why Ye Xiao was able to remain calm at that time.

First was that Ye Xiao have an expert protecting him from the shadows and he belong to a very big family or has a powerful background.

And the second reason is that Ye Xiao simply did not think much of him and he is very arrogant.

He only thought that Ye Xiao belong to one of these two categories.

Of course, he was unaware of a heaven defying treasure like The Heavenly Pearl so he did not manage to think of a third reason.

What he thought can only be applied on ordinary fellows. Ye Xiao is not counted as one of those people. Ye Xiao has an endless supply of spirit stones and only because of this, he did not think much and said that when he will come here next time, he will go to the second floor of the restaurant.

.....

Ye Xiao was walking aimlessly on the street. After asking for a while, he found out that currently, he was actually in a second grade country known as the Golden Fragrance Country.

Southwood City is one of the three big cities in the Golden Fragrance Country. The three big cities are Southwood City, Grindstone City and the Golden Fragrance City which was also the imperial city of the Golden Fragrance Country.

The Cloudsmoke Forest was only five miles away from the Southwood City. It means that the Cloudsmoke Forest's other end was actually connected with a second grade country like The Golden Fragrance Country. Ye Xiao came here by floating in the river while he was still unconscious.

He could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart. He did not know how long it will take him to get back to the Azure Dragon Country.

In the Golden Fragrance Country, there is three great sects but unlike the sect leaders of the five great sects of the Azure Dragon Country, the sect leaders of these sects were actually peak Martial Emperor Realm experts.

The Thunder Cloud Sect is one of these three great sects. Lu Xiaoran, who helped him previously when he was badly injured, and other three people with her actually belonged to this Thunder Cloud Sect.

Ye Xiao asked around and found the location of the Thunder Cloud Sect.

These three great sects were situated in three big cities.

The Thunder Cloud Sect is coincidentally in the Southwood City. Ye Xiao decided to visit Lu Xiaoran and thank her properly for her kindness.

Ye Xiao was just about to go to the Thunder Cloud Sect when he heard people talking about something interesting which aroused his interest.

"Have you heard that there is there is something strange going on in the Cloudsmoke Forest these days."

"Yes, I also heard that there is going to be the birth of a treasure in the Cloudsmoke Forest but its location has been kept confidential from us by those big families."

"Yes, I heard that they did not want to share the location with us because they do not want to increase their competitors."

"But how can they do this? This treasure which is going to be born inside the Cloudsmoke Forest does not belong to anyone. Isn't it normal, whoever gets it first will become its owner."

"Heh brother, which era are you living in. There is no such thing as whoever gets the treasure first will keep it. If you get caught by anyone after obtaining the treasure, unless you submit to them and handover the treasure, you will definitely get yourself killed."

"Anyway, even if those big families did not share the location with anyone, all peoples are still going inside the Cloudsmoke Forest. Let us all also go in there. If our luck is good, maybe we will find out the location where a treasure is going to born."

"....."

"....."

Ye Xiao was very surprised as the matter about a treasure being born inside the Cloudsmoke Forest was really very inciting. Even though he had two High Grade Spirit Swords with him but if he can get his hand on another treasure, there will be no loss.

Ye Xiao, who was about to go to the Thunder Cloud Sect to thank Lu Xiaoran, forgot everything when he heard of the matter of a 'going to be born' treasure.

Soon, he reached the city gate but just as he was about to walk out from the city, he was stopped by the same guard who talked with him when he was about to first enter into the Southwood City.

"You there, stop." The guard said loudly. He was not shouting but his voice was also not any less than that. It could be seen clearly that the guard was targeting Ye Xiao.
