As Xiao Yi wondered how to explain himself.
Gao Shi suddenly bounced back and said, "Captain, I have heard that Master Yi Xiao used to work on alchemy bounty missions in Qianle City."
"Every time he completed a mission, those merchant families either gave no reward or offered Demon Beast Cores and Essence Blood."
"It seems that Master Yi Xiao really does need a large quantity."
"Right," another vice captain also said, "I've heard about this too. Captain, you know, whatever materials you give to an alchemist, they can refine all kinds of strange and startling elixirs."
"With Master Yi Xiao's skills, he surely needs a large amount of Demon Beast Cores and Essence Blood."
"Oh?" Ning Hao looked at Xiao Yi with confusion.
Xiao Yi chuckled to himself, since someone had already provided a 'natural' explanation, he was too lazy to think of any excuse.
