Chapter 1472: A Contest Between Old Schemers

Two days later, inside the First Division's headquarters.

Su Xiao placed eight bottles of Soul Spirit Medicine on the wooden table in front of him. According to the agreement with Unohana Retsu, someone would come to collect the medicine at a fixed time every day and attend to Su Xiao's daily life.

After some negotiation, Su Xiao basically stabilized his position in the Seireitei. He was now special personnel of the Fourth Division, holding no real power, but ordinary Shinigami dared not provoke him.

Or rather, Su Xiao was special personnel of the Gotei 13, under the jurisdiction of only Yamamoto Genryusai and Unohana Retsu. Other captains had no right to order Su Xiao to do anything.

As the sole creator and developer of the Soul Spirit Medicine, Su Xiao easily won these privileges. Although he was located in the First Division's headquarters and looked unfree, it was actually not the case. As long as he completed the daily production quantity of medicine, no one would restrict his actions.

From entering the Seireitei until now, Su Xiao had appeared harmless and lazy. If Yamamoto Genryusai were aggressive, then this Captain-Commander would be too petty.

Old man Yamamoto Genryusai was not that kind of person. Even though Su Xiao had "conducted explosion tests" in the First Division's headquarters before, the old man didn't say anything in the end, only using Kido to set up a "barrier" around Su Xiao's house to reinforce its defensive power.

Interestingly, when Yamamoto Genryusai gathered the other twelve captains to discuss important matters, explosions could often be heard. Over time, old man Yamamoto Genryusai and these captains got used to it. After all, these captains were beneficiaries of the Soul Spirit Medicine. The upper limit that the Soul Spirit Medicine could enhance was captain-level; Shinigami above captain-level only had a recovery effect after drinking it and could not permanently enhance Reiatsu.

Inside the temporarily modified alchemical laboratory, Su Xiao was developing a new alchemical bomb. At this moment, the wooden sliding door of the room was pushed open, and a small head poked into the room.

From this tentative action, one could see that the person coming was very experienced, knowing that Su Xiao's laboratory could explode at any time.

"Lord Byakuya, I am here."

The person poked her head into the door gap, blinking those large dark eyes, a few strands of black hair falling along her cheeks.

"Come in, Nanjue."

Su Xiao looked up at the person, a "gentle" smile appearing on his face.

The person's name was Nanjue, a female Shinigami. She was not old, and her strength was at a mid-level in the Gotei 13. Her personality was lively, but she was a bit timid at critical moments, which was the main reason she had never been heavily used.

Hearing Su Xiao's words, the girl Nanjue smiled, looking youthful and beautiful.

Nanjue ran to the wooden table with small steps, carefully collected the medicine on the table, and then ran back to the door quickly. She hid her body behind the sliding door, only poking her head out. This was a lesson she had summarized.

In the eyes of the lively girl Nanjue, Su Xiao was a very good superior. Although his tone was not kind, he smiled very modestly. The only drawback was that her superior often researched explosives.

"Lord Byakuya, I am going to prepare lunch."

While speaking, Nanjue had already left bouncing and hopping, but soon she wilted because old man Yamamoto Genryusai was walking toward her.

Su Xiao manufactured medicine for the Seireitei, nominally for free, but actually not so. He could obtain Seireitei Reputation by handing in Soul Spirit Medicine.

【Hint: The Hunter has obtained 800 Seireitei Reputation points.】

After Nanjue left, the hint appeared. Su Xiao scanned the hint. So far, he had obtained 1900 Seireitei Reputation points.

How other contractors obtained Seireitei Reputation, Su Xiao did not know, but 1900 Seireitei Reputation points was definitely not a small number.

From entering the Shinigami world until now, Su Xiao had stayed in the Seireitei for three days. In these three days, he had almost never gone out, either researching new models of alchemical bombs or making medicine.

Checking his current mana, 4356 points remained. These mana points were enough for emergencies. Su Xiao threw down the semi-finished alchemical bomb in his hand and stood up to walk out of the room.

When Su Xiao walked out of the First Division's headquarters, the Shinigami guarding the door only glanced at Su Xiao and did not stop him, not even asking the most basic questions.

A breeze blew, and Su Xiao walked on the almost spotless street. Patrol Shinigami passed by from time to time, but when they saw the ornament on the corner of Su Xiao's clothes, no one came up to question him.

Su Xiao's purpose this time was the Sixth Division. He prepared to see what items were in the "Reputation Store." If there were good things, he would slightly increase the output of medicine to obtain more Seireitei Reputation.

Su Xiao had just walked around a corner when he almost collided with a Shinigami wearing a white haori. But with Su Xiao's intuition, would such a coincidence really happen?

"So it is Captain Aizen, what a coincidence."

The one who almost collided with Su Xiao was Aizen Sosuke.

"Indeed, you actually came out to get some air, very rare."

Aizen smiled politely, his "good guy" temper fully displayed.

"I originally planned to go to the Sixth Division, but I haven't been in the Seireitei for long and am not familiar with this place."

"Oh?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Aizen's expression didn't change at all, only pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"It just so happens I have nothing to do, why don't I help you lead the way?"

"This... how can I be so embarrassed."

"Small matter, Byakuya, you don't need to be polite."

"Since that is the case, thank you for your trouble."

From the perspective of an observer, Su Xiao and Aizen's conversation had no problems. Su Xiao gave other Shinigami the feeling of being lazy and modest, while Aizen was a good guy. How could these two people be seen as good friends with good private relations?

At this time, Aizen was not alone. Behind him followed a girl. The girl's short brown hair was very refreshing. Her name was Hinamori Momo. She looked weak, but in fact, she was the Fifth Division Lieutenant, Aizen's assistant. Her strength was not weak, and she worshipped Aizen very much.

Hinamori Momo looked at Su Xiao and Aizen, unable to help but smile. In her view, Su Xiao and Aizen were clearly compatible in character.

Was it really so? Excluding the disguise, the actual situation was indeed so. If Yamamoto Genryusai and Toshiro only suspected that Su Xiao had problems and were in the observation stage, then Aizen must have already determined that Su Xiao had problems, because the two people's situations were very similar. Similar people were easier to discover similar people.

"This way."

Aizen stepped forward, his pace not fast.

"Hinamori, you go first..."

Aizen's voice became lower and lower. After a moment, Hinamori Momo nodded.

"Leave it to me, Captain Aizen."

"Then I will trouble you."

"Yes!"

Hinamori Momo walked away quickly.

"Byakuya, you are very likely to become a Shinigami in the future."

Aizen's mouth curled up, and the two walked side by side.

"Who knows."

"Don't be discouraged, with your potential, it is still very likely to be achieved."

The chat without any nutrition began. Hearing Aizen's sentence "You are very likely to become a Shinigami in the future," Su Xiao had actually guessed the other party's purpose.

If Su Xiao didn't guess wrong, the "good guy" Aizen's next conversation content would be like this: first talking about Shinigami-related things, then mentioning Zanpakuto, and in the end, Aizen might even introduce knowledge related to Shikai and Bankai, and hypnotize Su Xiao by the way to facilitate control later.

Half an hour later, when Su Xiao and Aizen arrived in front of the Sixth Division's headquarters.

"Thank you for the guidance, Captain Aizen, I have benefited a lot."

"Just a small effort."

While speaking, Aizen came to Su Xiao's front, carefully observing Su Xiao's pupils. One must know, this was a very awkward action.

But for some reason, Su Xiao stood in place without moving, still saying something in his mouth, seemingly chatting with some non-existent person.

"This way... there is no problem."

Aizen turned and walked away, no longer having the appearance of a good guy before. ===== CHAPTER 1473 =====
