"Although I have saved up some Spiritual Stones over the past few years, most of them have been used up. These two are useless to me, so I'll give them to you first."
Xiao Xuan chuckled and flicked his finger. The two Spiritual Stones flew to Bai Hua and Lian 'er respectively. The two hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xiao Yan, and then respectfully received them.
"Haha, half a year's time is neither long nor short. These two spiritual stones are the only things I can help you with. You will have to rely on yourselves for the rest. The clan meeting is not as cruel as a real battle, but it is definitely not an easy task. You should treat it seriously."
Hearing this, everyone, including Xiao Yan, nodded heavily. Then, Bai Hua and Lian 'er each went upstairs with the Spiritual Stones in their hands. Xiao Yan then took out the Storage Ring that Xiao Mingyuan had given to him and slowly said, "There are some Spiritual Stones here.
Aside from some elixirs and Medial Spiritual Stones, there are also ten Supreme-Grade Spiritual Stones. They were given by the Third Elder. "
"Yes, it's within my expectations. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given them the two Spiritual Stones."
Xiao Xuan smiled faintly and did not mind. He had encountered such means when he first entered the Xiao Clan. Now that he saw it again, he was naturally not surprised.
The reason why he did not want Bai Hua and Lian 'er to know about the ten Spiritual Stones was that he did not want them to place their hopes on external things. Although Supreme-Grade Spiritual Stones could help them quickly increase their cultivation, if they could not truly grasp this power, even if they obtained it, they would not be able to use it. Instead, it was better to let them feel the urgency of time. Under pressure, their potential would be stimulated.
Xiao Yan was naturally able to understand the meaning behind Xiao Xuan's words. Soon after, his thoughts once again returned to the spirit stone.
"Then these ten Supreme-Grade Spiritual Stones …"
"Naturally, it is not a monthly allowance. Although there are many Supreme-Grade Spiritual Stones in the clan, it is not to the point of being rich. Even the Crown Prince has to make a certain contribution to the clan if he wants to obtain Supreme-Grade Spiritual Stones. However, that level of contribution is unattainable. Otherwise, the clan meeting would not be the place that many disciples yearn for."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan secretly nodded. In other words, the Xiao Clan had put in a lot of effort in order to rope him in.
Xiao Yan's eyes stared intently at the Storage Ring in his hand. Many thoughts flowed within his heart. It was a moment later before he finally put it away. He lifted his eyes and exchanged a smile with Xiao Xuan on the opposite side. A bright light flowed within his deep, dark-black eyes.
.....
After the incident with Xiao Feng, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yan's status in the Xiao Clan had changed instantly. This also caused some people who did not have a good impression of the grandfather and grandson duo to stop in their tracks and forcefully suppress the thought of finding trouble with them. This also allowed Xiao Yan to enjoy an extremely rare period of leisure in the following days. This made him, who was used to being pressed for time, feel a little uneasy.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Xiao Xuan was still trying to break through the barrier to the Source Sect. However, due to the Returnance Art, he was still far from achieving a result. Fortunately, given Xiao Xuan's temperament, he did not care about this. After all, the Returnance Art had been completely restored. No matter how slow the process was, it was only a matter of time before he broke through.
On the other side, Bai Hua and Lian Er had already entered a retreat. From the looks of it, they held an extremely great attitude toward the clan gathering. From the looks of the waves of energy ripples that were occasionally emitted from their rooms, the training of the both of them had improved during this half a month. This caused the emotions in Xiao Yan's heart to become a little fiery hot.
"Are these two fellows about to break through again?"
Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at the room where the two of them were in. His mouth involuntarily sighed. The physiques of these two fellows were different from an ordinary person. Their training speed was something that others could only hope to catch up with. It was really difficult to imagine just what level their cultivation would reach once they completely absorbed and refined this top tier spirit stone.
Xiao Yan exhaled somewhat helplessly. He placed the teacup down with one hand. When he turned around, he suddenly frowned and looked outside the door. At this moment, a familiar old man's figure was looking at him with a face full of smiles. Surprisingly, it was Xiao Mingyuan.
"Third Elder, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your body looks much stronger."
At the same time as he stood up, Xiao Yan cupped his hands respectfully toward Xiao Mingyuan. The latter laughed out loud, waved his hand, and laughed out loud.
"You little brat, don't flatter me. How are you? Have you gotten used to these days?"
"Thank you for your concern, Third Elder. I've been doing well."
"Heh, I've clearly built a villa for you, but you still want to live here. If it was someone else, I'm afraid they would have already moved over with their belongings. Little brat, you're really different."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan smiled noncommittally. He did not care much about those things. Moreover, Bai Hua and Lian 'er were currently in seclusion, so he naturally could not leave.
"Xiao Xuan is not here again."
Looking at the empty pavilion, Xiao Mingyuan's eyes flickered slightly. At the same time, he seemed to have understood something in his heart.
"No wonder you don't want to leave."
"Third Elder, are you looking for the ancestor?"
Xiao Yan pursed his lips and said with a smile.
"No, I'm not looking for him. I'm looking for you."
Randomly pointing at Xiao Yan, Xiao Mingyuan took two steps forward and sat on the chair. Immediately, he lifted his head and looked at Xiao Yan in front of him with a faint smile.
"Me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression was a little surprised. He did not understand what was going on. The old man parted his mouth and said with a smile,
"The First Elder has come out of seclusion. He wants to see you."
"First Elder …"
Xiao Yan's heart suddenly jumped when Xiao Mingyuan's voice sounded. The expression on his face could not help but change. The First Elder of the Xiao clan was the second person in power after the clan leader, Xiao Yuheng. He was also the true expert of the Xiao clan. Now, this person who could decide whether he stayed or left was finally going to see him …
"Phew … Third Elder, please lead the way."
Xiao Yan focused his attention and once again turned his gaze to Xiao Mingyuan. Hearing this, the latter shrugged his shoulders and laughed dryly, "Don't worry.
"I have other matters to attend to and can't bring you there. I originally planned to let Xiao Xuan lead the way for you. However, since he is not here, I'm afraid you can only go by yourself."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was speechless. The Xiao clan was so big. It was difficult for him to go out and find an old man whom he had never seen before.
Seeing Xiao Yan's difficult expression, Xiao Mingyuan chuckled and teased, "Hey, kid.
Why didn't I see such an expression when you barged into the Xiao clan alone … Don't worry, the First Elder lives alone in the depths of the back mountain. As long as you follow the stone stairs to the end, you will reach his residence. He will be waiting for you there this evening. Remember, he will not wait for you there. "
