After Xiao Shaojun left, Xiao Yan, who was standing in the courtyard, once again thought about what he had said earlier.
"The Heaven Questioning Pill …"
One was missing, while the other was in the Ouyang family. Even the pill closest to him, which was also the most likely, was in the hands of the second elder of the family, Xiao Yitian. Unfortunately, Xiao Yitian was in seclusion. From the looks of it, the chances of obtaining the Heaven Questioning Pill were slim.
"You can't rush this kind of thing. Why don't you find an opportunity to ask the first elder? Perhaps he can contact the second elder."
Behind him, Xiao Xuan slowly walked over from the entrance. His wise eyes seemed to have seen through Xiao Yan's thoughts as he smiled and comforted him.
The latter could only helplessly shake his head when he heard this. The matter of the Heaven Questioning Pill could only be temporarily put aside. However, the 'Clan Sacrifice' that Xiao Shaojun had mentioned earlier made Xiao Yan extremely concerned.
It was a grand event comparable to a clan gathering. Even someone as strong as the Source Sect could only barely obtain the qualifications to participate. With such harsh conditions, what exactly was the Clan Sacrifice?
"Ancestor, do you know what the Clan Sacrifice is?"
Xiao Yan turned around to look at Xiao Xuan, who had returned to his seat at the stone table, and asked curiously.
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan paused for a moment. He lifted the teacup in his hand and took a sip.
He smiled and said, "I have not personally witnessed the process, so I do not know the specific contents of the Clan Sacrifice. I only know that the Clan Sacrifice is held to stimulate the power of the bloodline."
"Stimulate the power of the bloodline?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows. His understanding of the power of the bloodline was still at the Dou Emperor bloodline level. However, following the gradual increase in his cultivation over the years, the increase in strength brought by the power of the bloodline had become increasingly thin. As a result, Xiao Yan rarely used the power of the bloodline. He did not expect the Xiao clan to have such a method.
Just as Xiao Yan was pondering to himself, a white-clothed and pale Bai Hua slowly walked out of the room with Lian 'er's support.
"Are you alright?"
Xiao Yan immediately withdrew his thoughts when he saw Bai Hua. Xiao Xuan stood up and stepped forward with an amiable expression.
"Sorry for making you guys worry."
Bai Hua shook her head weakly. Xiao Yan took out a few pills and handed them over to her. After she consumed them, he accompanied her to the stone table.
"I understand the situation now. I know what's wrong with my body. I didn't think that the Nature Pill would cause such a result. I was too careless back then."
Thinking back to what had happened in the past few days, Bai Hua could not help but feel a sense of self-blame. If it were not for her, Xiao Yan would not have gotten into so much trouble.
Xiao Yan shook his head indifferently and smiled.
"It doesn't matter. Some troubles can't be avoided. It's just a change of form. You just have to take care of yourself and leave the rest to us."
At the side, Xiao Xuan smiled and nodded in agreement. A moving smile appeared on Lian 'er's bitter face as she gently stroked Bai Hua's back to comfort her.
The warmth in Bai Hua's heart gradually grew when she saw the three people in front of her acting this way. She did not say any more courteous words. After pondering for a while, she nodded her head heavily.
.....
The situation in the clan had become much calmer in the following days. After the clan gathering ended, Xiao Dingtian no longer came to pester Xiao Yan. All the Elders of the clan who came to visit Xiao Yan were rejected by Xiao Xuan. This period of time was the most leisurely and peaceful period since Xiao Yan had entered the Xiao clan.
All the troubles seemed to have disappeared with the end of the clan gathering.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Xiao Yan once again welcomed two familiar figures in front of his door.
Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin.
"Congratulations. No wonder I haven't seen you these days. It turns out that you went into seclusion to make a breakthrough."
In the living room, Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at the two brothers in front of him. After not seeing each other for a few days, Xiao Zhuobin's cultivation had already broken through to a 5-star Origin Ancestor.
"Haha, when the conditions are right, I naturally broke through."
Xiao Zhuobin smiled faintly. There was a trace of unconcealable joy in his eyes. Obviously, he had been looking forward to this breakthrough for a long time. On the other hand, Xiao Lei was already very familiar with this guy's character. He simply teased him and took the teacup that Lian 'er handed over. He sized up the beautiful girl in front of him and said seriously.
"We're not here to joke with you today."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yan raised his eyes slightly and was a little surprised. Xiao Lei took a sip of the fragrant tea and immediately said,
"The list of people participating in the 'clan sacrifice' has been listed. We're here to invite you to the ancestral hall."
Hearing the words' clan sacrifice ', Xiao Yan's face immediately rippled. After waiting patiently for these days, he had finally welcomed this mysterious' clan sacrifice '.
It was also at this moment that a figure suddenly stepped into the living room. The three of them immediately looked over and saw Xiao Xuan and Xiao Mingyuan walking over together. When the latter saw Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin, he immediately understood in his heart. He was a little surprised and laughed loudly. Then, he looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Hey, I'm late.
"Heh, looks like this old man is late. Brat, you already know?"
"You're not late. We just arrived as well."
Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin didn't dare to be negligent when they saw the newcomers. They quickly stood up and cupped their hands with a smile.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. He looked at Xiao Xuan and smiled. Then, he stood up and teased Xiao Mingyuan.
"Why is the Third Elder also participating in the 'clan sacrifice'?"
"This old man has no interest in participating in a child's play. I just don't want Xiao Dingtian to cause any more trouble. I'm worried about you, so I decided to follow and take a look."
Xiao Mingyuan curled his lips. He had forgotten that Xiao Dingtian's grandson was still standing in front of him.
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Lei who was beside him. The latter just smiled indifferently and shrugged with Xiao Zhuobin tacitly without saying anything.
"Although Elder Xiao Dingtian had the intention to make things difficult for us during the clan meeting, it wasn't to the extent of pointing fingers. Moreover, the 'clan sacrifice' is a big matter. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
After pondering for a while, Xiao Yan said slowly.
"I hope so. It's just that that stubborn old man is quite concerned about the bloodline quality of you and your grandson. He can't interfere too much during the clan meeting. If he were to make a move this time, I'm afraid things won't be so easy to pass."
Xiao Mingyuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyebrows suddenly twitched. He frowned and stared at the old man in front of him.
He asked in surprise, "Our bloodline quality? What does this have to do with him? "
"This … I can't explain it to you now. Let's go to the ancestral temple first. You will naturally understand when we get there."
Xiao Mingyuan hesitated for a long while before replying vaguely. Xiao Lei and Xiao Zhuobin by the side faced each other. Their hearts were deep in thought. Currently, only Xiao Yan was completely confused. He did not understand the meaning behind Xiao Mingyuan's words. After musing for a long while, he finally clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice,
"Then let's go to the ancestral temple."
