Later, when he accidentally picked up an empty mahogany brocade box on the ground of Dan Pavilion, he saw that the native dog had disappeared, and he realized that it was broken.
How could this brocade box fall to the ground by itself for no reason? Moreover, the pills in the brocade box also disappeared.
Immediately, the fifth elder opened a brocade box that was placed closest to him in an exquisite cabinet, and was stunned. Because the brocade box was empty, with nothing in it.
Then, the fifth elder opened the second brocade box, then opened the third brocade box...
Without exception, all the elixirs in the brocade boxes disappeared without a trace. Of the more than two hundred brocade boxes, not even one was left.
The fifth elder stood there stunned for a while, then wailed, and quickly went to the clan leader to report the matter. The clan leader was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly came to the Dan Pavilion to check. Sure enough, as the fifth elder said, all the brocades were
All the elixirs in the box disappeared.
Since the Fifth Elder guarded the Scripture Pavilion, only the local dogs have been to the Dan Pavilion. Now all the elixirs have disappeared. Apparently, all the elixirs were eaten by the local dogs.
The patriarch called several family elders and began to discuss what to do about this matter.
"Clan leader, fifth elder, don't worry. These pills were eaten by a native dog, and the native dog was brought back by Xia Yan. Even if Xia Yan wants to blame, he must blame his dog first." The elder said.
road.
"Who would have thought that a dog would secretly eat pills?" The great elder stroked his beard.
"Clan leader, elders, in fact, with Xia Yan's character, he would know that the pill was eaten by a local dog, so he would definitely not say anything." Xia Changhe knew Xia Yan best.
"However, the elixir reward plan has been formulated and released. Recently, some of the family's children have been extremely diligent in their cultivation. I am worried that some of the family's children will soon meet the criteria for elixir rewards. By then, we will not be able to produce the corresponding elixirs.
Giving rewards to the children will have an impact on the enthusiasm of the family's children to practice." Third Elder Xia Changhe said with concern.
"Yes, that's right. The top priority is to solve this problem." Clan leader Xia Feilong nodded.
"However, the family's business is expanding rapidly and there are too many places to spend money. The family does not have any extra money to buy pills to fill this hole." Xia Feilong shook his head.
"Clan leader, didn't Xia Yan leave five million gold coins in the family?" Xia Changhe asked.
"Xia Yan did leave five million gold coins to the family, and there are still about four million left. However, this money can only be used to expand the family's power, and it must not be used to buy elixirs now. To buy elixirs, you must also
Wait until the family business starts to make profits in the future." Xia Feilong said decisively.
Several other elders also nodded.
"Clan leader, I have saved more than 10,000 gold coins over the years. Let's use them for emergencies first!" the fifth elder sighed and said.
More than 10,000 gold coins are enough to buy more than a dozen ordinary first-grade elixirs. However, this is just a drop in the bucket and cannot completely solve the problem. Xia Yan left more than 200 elixirs in the Xia family at that time.
"I also have several thousand gold coins!" Third Elder Xia Changhe said.
"I probably have..."
Several elders have to spend their many years of savings.
"Okay, let's not talk about this now. Let's wait until Xia Yan comes back and then talk about this matter. By the way, have you found Xia Yan's native dog?" Xia Feilong asked the fifth elder.
"The native dog has always been in Xia Yan's small courtyard, with Xiao Qing." The fifth elder said.
"Since the elixir has been eaten, there is no point in finding the native dog. Wait until Xia Yan comes back and we will see how to deal with this matter. The native dog is unusual, so we'd better not provoke him." Xia Changhe solemnly stood aside.
said.
"Yeah!" Xia Feilong nodded.
………
"Xia Yan, I have one more thing to ask you!"
After entering Yushui City, Xia Yan and Huo Fenghuang were walking on the street. Xia Yan originally wanted to rush back to Xia's house, but Huo Fenghuang insisted on walking slowly.
In the end, Xia Yan had no choice but to follow Huo Fenghuang and walk slowly. Fortunately, even if he walked slowly, it wouldn't take long to reach the Xia family. Entering the city from the south gate of Yushui City, this southern area was originally occupied by the Xi family, but now
Most of the Fangshi industries in the Southern District, as well as nearby businesses, have been acquired by the Xia family.
Those who run the market have all been replaced by the Xia family. Some of the small families and forces that were affiliated with the Xi family in the past were incorporated into the Xia family, and some were expelled from Yushui City by the Xia family.
"What's the matter?" Xia Yan asked back.
"In the Forest of Sin, the Holy Emperor once said that you were already a cultivator of the Heavenly Palace. Why didn't you tell me?" Fire Phoenix looked at Xia Yan with beautiful eyes and said.
Xia Yan said directly, "The identity of a Tiangong cultivator cannot be disclosed to outsiders at will."
"After the three-month vacation for the newlyweds is over, I will enter the Heavenly Palace. At that time, you will not be able to go down the mountain at will. If you want to go down the mountain, you must obtain the permission of the patrol." Xia Yan said.
As the daughter of the president of Zhou Yun Trading Company, Huo Fenghuang also knows something about Tiangong. Of course, she doesn't know much.
"So that's it! I really want to go to the Heavenly Palace to see how you practice..." Fire Phoenix said with some yearning.
"Actually, it's nothing!" Xia Yan saw Huo Fenghuang acting like this and thought to himself, "Anyway, when we were in the Sin Forest, the Holy Emperor himself mentioned Tiangong to Huo Fenghuang. Even if I talked about Tiangong to Huo Fenghuang, it should be nothing.
Serious problem."
"There are many devil arrays in the Tiangong Palace. Tiangong practitioners can usually train in the devil arrays. In addition to the devil arrays, the Tiangong Palace also has a Yuhua Pond. Each Tiangong cultivator can have a chance to enter the Yuhua Pond and pass by the Yuhua Pond.
Baptism. It is said that the strength of cultivators who have been baptized by Yuhua Pond can be greatly improved."
"The most mysterious and powerful thing in the Heavenly Palace is not the Devil's Array and the Yuhua Pond, but the tower of cultivation in the center!" Xia Yan was a little excited when he mentioned the tower of cultivation.
"What is the Tower of Cultivation?" Huo Fenghuang asked curiously.
"I have never entered the Cultivation Tower, but I heard from cultivators that the Cultivation Tower is very high. No one except the Holy Emperor knows how many floors the Cultivation Tower has. The spiritual power of the first floor of the Cultivation Tower is from the outside world.
Ten times. The second level is twenty times, the third level is thirty times..."
Xia Yan said with bright eyes.
The higher you go, the higher the concentration of spiritual power, and of course the higher the requirements for cultivators. It does not mean that the higher the level, the better the training. If you are not strong enough, you will not be able to reach higher levels.
"Oh my God!" Fire Phoenix was surprised.
"Doesn't that mean that even if you practice on the first level of the Cultivation Tower, the speed will be ten times faster than that of ordinary people?" Huo Fenghuang said with wide eyes and envy.
"There may not be ten times the speed, but there are six, seven, seven or eight times the speed." Xia Yan smiled and nodded.
"No wonder, no wonder so many practitioners yearn to enter the Heavenly Palace to practice." Huo Fenghuang suddenly said, "If I had known that the Heavenly Palace was so good, I would have thought of a way to enter the Heavenly Palace."
"Now you still have a chance!" Xia Yan said with a smile, "Tiangong cultivators undergo an assessment every three years. Non-academic cultivators under the age of forty theoretically have a chance to obtain an assessment quota."
"Really? The assessment quota is determined by the Holy Emperor?" Huo Fenghuang asked hurriedly.
"No, for non-academic cultivators, Inspector Zhang and Inspector Jian set the quota for the assessment. However, this quota is also difficult to obtain. In the entire continent, less than ten people can get the opportunity to take the examination every three years." Xia Yan
Tell the truth.
"Hey, I will give it a try!" Fire Phoenix's eyes flickered, "If I enter the Heavenly Palace, I can practice with you in the Heavenly Palace. Alas, although I can't be free..."
Fire Phoenix actually likes that kind of unrestrained life. Otherwise, with her status, how could she do those mercenary missions all year round?
"Miss……"
At this time, several figures appeared near the two of them, and the leader shouted.
Xia Yan glanced at this person. He was dressed as a guard. He looked about forty years old. He had the strength of a late great spiritual master. He had a righteous face. His brows were slightly wrinkled at this time. Several other people following him were also spiritual.
The realm of teachers.
"Miss, where have you been these past few days? We can't find you anywhere!" the leading guard asked respectfully, but it was obvious that he was very anxious.
His responsibility is to secretly protect Fire Phoenix, but a few days ago, he lost his way. Fire Phoenix doesn't like others to follow him, so they can only follow him secretly.
But a few days ago, they suddenly lost sight of the Fire Phoenix.
"Hmph, where am I going? Do I need to report to you?" Huo Fenghuang snorted coldly and said rudely.
Xia Yan smiled secretly in his heart.
No wonder the Fire Phoenix hardly appeared in Yushui City in the past few days. It turned out that he was trying to get rid of these tails. Naturally, he had someone send a message to him from Niu She Town to avoid these tails.
Shaking his head slightly, Xia Yan said to Huo Fenghuang, "Then let's part here. I have to go back to Xia's house. If there is a chance in the future, I can have someone send me a message."
"Who are you?" The guard glanced at Xia Yan warily.
He did not recognize Xia Yan, nor did he know Xia Yan's identity. Seeing that Xia Yan and Huo Fenghuang seemed to be very close, out of his own responsibility, he immediately looked at Xia Yan with some caution.
"My name is Xia Yan, and your young lady has been with me these days." Xia Yan smiled at the leading guard and said.
The guard looked at Xia Yan for a while, then turned his head and said nothing.
"Xia Yan, then..." Fire Phoenix pondered for a moment, "Forget it, I will go find you later. Now, I'm leaving!"
With that said, Huo Fenghuang turned around and left quickly along the street. The guards also quickly followed.
Xia Yan watched Huo Fenghuang leave, then turned around and quickened his pace towards the Xia family.
"Go back to Xia's house first and then go to the church!" Xia Yan made a quick decision in his mind.
In front of the Xia family's residence, several guards with weapons stood upright.
Suddenly, a figure approached the courtyard door, and the guards immediately turned their attention there.
"It's the hall master!" These guards all knew Xia Yan's identity.
"I've met the hall master!" The guard saluted respectfully and said hello.
"Well, thank you for your hard work!" Xia Yan nodded, looked at the others and asked casually, "Is the patriarch in the family now? Has nothing happened to the family in the past few days?"
