It was almost dusk. Xiao Yan and the others were led into the main hall by an elder in a courtyard of the Xiao clan.
"Haha, this is the main hall. This courtyard was built according to the residence of the heir. The size and location are not bad. If you need anything, you can look for me at any time."
— — —
The elder led them into the main hall and smiled.
"Thank you for your trouble, elder Tang."
Xiao Yan smiled and cupped his hands towards the elder. The person in front of him was Xiao Qingtang, who had sent Bai Hua and Lian 'er into the Xiao clan.
"Haha, this courtyard was originally your residence. I only brought you here. It is nothing. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
Xiao Qingtang nodded and smiled. He cupped his hands towards the group and turned to leave.
Xiao Yan's group only exchanged glances with each other after seeing Xiao Yan leave. They entered the empty hall. After taking their seats, Xiao Xuan went straight to the main topic.
"You must be careful in tomorrow's battle. It has been a long time since we last met. The cultivation of those two children has probably improved by quite a bit. They cannot be underestimated."
"Oh?"
Xiao Yan raised his brows slightly and asked in surprise.
"You know Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin?"
Xiao Xuan nodded slightly and said,
"They are the grandsons of Xiao Gan and Xiao Dingtian. I met them a few times when I first entered the Xiao clan. They stepped into the Genesis Sect at such a young age. Their cultivation and talent are not bad. They have been training outside for the past two years. I did not expect them to return to the clan at this time."
Xiao Xuan could not help but reveal a look of admiration when he recalled the two of them.
"When I first met them, their cultivation was at the two-star Genesis Sect level. Now that a few years have passed, they have probably reached the four-star Genesis Sect level. It will be quite difficult for you to meet them with your current cultivation."
"Four-star Genesis Sect level huh. With my current strength, it will not be difficult to defeat them if only one of them reaches the four-star Genesis Sect level."
Xiao Yan gently nodded when he heard this. He gently clenched his hand and sensed the vaguely present strength in his palm. After which, he thought for a moment before slowly replying. "Alright.
"As long as you're confident."
Xiao Xuan smiled and then stood up. He glanced at Lian 'er, who was lying on a chair with a drowsy expression. His eyes involuntarily revealed a doting expression as he said, "Don't worry, Lian' er.
"Alright, you must be tired these days. Have a good rest tonight. Don't be careless in tomorrow's battle."
Xiao Xuan slowly carried the sleeping girl after saying these words. He walked toward the room at the back of the hall. Xiao Yan watched Xiao Xuan's back as he slowly walked away. He involuntarily came to a sudden understanding. If the Xiao Xuan that he usually saw was a wise elder, the current Xiao Xuan appeared like a father. This was especially the case when he looked at Lian Er each time. His eyes were filled with an incomparable gentleness.
After randomly finding a bedroom, Xiao Yan was not in a hurry to sleep after entering. Even though he was quite tired from the constant churning of his emotions these past few days, at this moment, he still chose to sit cross-legged and cultivate.
His cultivation, which had just broken through, had yet to completely consolidate. It could be said that whether it was circulating or erupting, it would not achieve the desired effect. It would naturally be best if he could refine it as soon as possible.
Night fell. On the bed, Xiao Yan was still immersed in cultivation. As time passed, the Genesis Qi in his body had already reached its peak. However, Xiao Yan was not in a hurry to withdraw from his cultivation. Instead, he persisted in absorbing the Genesis Qi in his body. When the Genesis Qi in his body reached its peak, he would refine it and completely consolidate his cultivation.
At a certain moment, when the natural energy lingering all over Xiao Yan's body began to scatter uncontrollably, Xiao Yan, who had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them. He opened his mouth and a suction force immediately surged out. At the same time, a fierce fire began to wildly refine the pure Genesis Qi within the Qi Paths in his body, refining and absorbing the energy that had already been refined to the purest state. Only when all the energy contained an absolute explosive force did the entire training process finally come to an end.
"Huu …"
Xiao Yan slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air that had been suppressed in his chest. His tensed body finally relaxed at this moment. Immediately, a sore and numb feeling involuntarily surfaced in his heart. His body immediately fell back onto the soft bed, and the thoughts in his mind could not help but become drowsy. The high degree of concentration over the past few days had indeed exhausted him. It was only now that he could finally relax and rest.
However, just as the drowsiness enveloped his heart, Xiao Yan, whose eyelids had just closed, suddenly stood up from the bed. He fiercely shook his head, dispelling the turbid tiredness. Only then did he take out a jade box from his Storage Ring with a slightly dazed expression. He opened it, revealing a pill that was distinctly black and white.
This pill was naturally formed from Bai Hua and the Creation Pill that had been collected by the Pill Transformation Ring. However, it seemed that the final outcome of the pill was still difficult to predict.
The black and white colors on the medicinal pill were still distinct. However, under Xiao Yan's careful observation, he realized that the portion that was originally occupied by the white color was gradually being eroded by the black color. This also meant that Bai Hua's body and consciousness were being swallowed by the mutated 'Creation Pill'.
This wasn't a good result!
Upon sensing this, Xiao Yan's heart abruptly sank, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind immediately cleared. His brows were tightly furrowed as he observed the pill in his hand, while his other hand involuntarily clenched tightly.
.....
The next day.
In the large hall, when Xiao Yan arrived, he saw Third Elder Xiao Mingyuan anxiously waiting for him. When he saw Xiao Yan appear, a worried expression immediately appeared on his old face.
"You brat, this old man really doesn't know whether to call you courageous or foolish. Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin advanced to the Source Ancestor stage a few years ago, and when they left the clan to train outside, their cultivations had already reached the two-star Source Ancestor stage, which is not much different from you before yesterday. After not seeing each other for a few years, their cultivations must be even stronger than before. If you were to really fight with the two of them today, wouldn't you be playing right into their hands?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly startled at first, but soon after, he gently smiled. He received the tea that Lian 'er had brought over and took a sip. He turned around and sat on a chair to the side, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I already know.
"I already know all of this. Moreover, Xiao Dingtian had already said so much yesterday. If I don't accept it, I'm afraid he will use even more excuses. In any case, the outcome will be the same. Why should I beat around the bush and waste my breath on him?"
"You brat, if you didn't accept, this old man could still deal with him a little. Now that you've said it, there's no room for negotiation."
Xiao Mingyuan hatefully said.
"There's no need to negotiate. He's here."
Xiao Yan smiled and turned his gaze towards the front door of the courtyard outside the hall. At this moment, a youth was standing there. It was none other than Xiao Feng without a doubt.
