"Xiao Qing, are you cooking?" Xia Feilong saw Xiao Qing and smiled, looking very friendly.
"Yes, Brother Xia Yan just came back from outside and hasn't eaten yet, so I made some." Xiao Qing replied politely.
"Oh, that's it! Xia Yan, why don't you eat first and we'll talk about this later?" Xia Feilong paused and tried to say to Xia Yan.
Xia Yan shook his head, "Let's ask first, I'll let the native dog come out."
"Ask the native dog? How to ask?" the great elder Xia Lai said with curiosity on his face.
Not only the Great Elder Xia Lai was confused, but the rest of the people were also very surprised. However, Xia Yan obviously would not say such words casually, and they couldn't help but look forward to seeing what Xia Yan would do.
"You will know later, the native dog is no ordinary dog." Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Young dog, come out!" Xia Yan shouted to the right wing.
The native dog was hiding in the side room. Hearing Xia Yan's shouting, he reluctantly let out a low bark and walked out of the room with some hesitation. He walked slowly on the ground with his four hooves and his head hung down, as if he had done something wrong.
A child, a pair of green eyes secretly glanced at Xia Yan, Xia Feilong and others from time to time.
Seeing the native dog like this, Xia Yan thought to himself, "Could it be that the native dog really ate those pills?"
"Tugou, did you eat all the elixirs in the Scripture Pavilion?" Xia Yan immediately looked at Tugou and asked.
The native dog's head stood up and his eyes glanced around, as if he wanted to divert his attention or pretend that he didn't hear Xia Yan's question.
Seeing this, Xia Yan became even more suspicious. If the native dog hadn't eaten it, the native dog would have shaken his head immediately.
"You guy, answer my questions honestly!" Xia Yan kicked the local dog.
"Ouch!" The native dog immediately lowered its head pitifully.
"Tell me, did you eat those family pills?" Xia Yan asked again.
"Ouch!" The native dog nodded and lowered his head to the ground.
"Did you really take it? Did you eat all those pills? There are more than two hundred pills there. Why did you take so many pills?" Xia Yan couldn't help but take a breath, and he was also surprised.
.
Why do native dogs eat so many pills?
"Woo~"
The native dog nodded its head and scratched its paws on the ground. Xia Yan thought it meant that he ate all the food because he couldn't help it.
Xia Feilong and several elders all looked at this scene and were shocked. They didn't expect that this native dog could understand what Xia Yan said.
You know, even spirit beasts cannot directly hear human language, unless they are trained spirit beasts. Although spirit beasts are intelligent, they do not understand human language.
But this native dog could completely understand Xia Yan's words, which was really weird.
"Patriarch, elders, the elixirs are indeed eaten by local dogs." Xia Yan was apologetic, "I will try my best to refine these elixirs as soon as possible. By the way, patriarch, I will write down what I need in a while.
Ask someone to prepare the medicinal materials and prepare an alchemy cauldron." Xia Yan thought for a while and continued.
This elixir must be refined as soon as possible.
"Are the twelve bottles of spiritual liquid I refined last time still there?" Xia Yan thought of the spiritual liquid.
The spiritual liquid requires Pipa grass, which is not easy to find. It is not sold in Yushui City, and you need to enter the Misty Valley to collect it. Moreover, Xia Yan only found two plants when he searched around the Misty Valley last time.
"The spiritual liquid is all there, but there is only one bottle left. Xia Liu is about to break through to the realm of a spiritual master. After discussion with several elders, I decided to reward him with a bottle of spiritual liquid to give him a greater chance of breaking through to the realm of a spiritual master.
"Xia Feilong's eyes flashed.
"Well, if Xia Liu can break through, then our Xia family's strength will be greatly enhanced." Xia Yan nodded and smiled. Of course, he would also be happy if Xia Liu made a breakthrough. If Xia Liu breaks through to the spiritual master realm, then
After a while, if you stabilize your strength, you may be able to get a position as a deacon in the church.
Xia Yan looked at Tugou again, "Humph, you've eaten so many pills, I'll settle the score with you later!"
"Ugh!" The native dog barked in frustration.
…
"Clan leader! Master of the hall!"
At this moment, a guard from outside arrived in front of the courtyard gate, saluted respectfully and said.
"What's the matter?" Clan leader Xia Feilong turned around and asked casually. This guard is Xia Feilong's personal attendant, a direct descendant of the Xia family, and has a close relationship with Xia Feilong.
"Xia Kui came in just now to report that there was an old man in black clothes and a cloak outside the gate of the house. He claimed to be a friend of Hall Master Xia Yan and wanted to see the Hall Master and the clan leader!" the guard lowered his head and said.
Xia Kui is one of the guards on duty outside the door.
"Oh?" Xia Feilong was slightly startled. The man in black cloak?
"Could it be that he's here?" Xia Yan thought of the man in the cloak, his heart moved, and he quickly said, "Chief, let this man in quickly."
Seeing that Xia Yan was so solemn and eager, Xia Feilong immediately waved his hand to the guard and said, "Invite him in quickly."
"Yes, patriarch!" the guard immediately responded and turned around to leave.
"Xia Yan, do you need to go greet me?" Xia Feilong looked at Xia Yan again and asked tentatively.
"Well, it's time to go greet him. If it's really him..." After Xia Yan said this, he did not continue, but turned around and said, "Xiaoqing, I will come back for dinner after I finish handling the matter."
"Okay, Brother Xia Yan!" Xiao Qing said crisply with a smile.
The group of people walked from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, and then towards the main entrance of the Xia family's residence.
After half a cup of tea, Xia Yan and others saw that the guard had come over with a man in black. From a distance, Xia Yan saw a familiar black cloak.
"It's really him!" Xia Yan couldn't help but be shocked.
This kind of spiritual vibration was involuntary and Xia Yan couldn't control it. Although Xia Yan had only met this person twice, the mystery of this person left a deep impression on Xia Yan.
When he was in the Forest of Sin, this man knew about the existence of the illusory realm, but did not enter the illusory realm. Moreover, he also said that he did so much because of the favor he owed.
"Haha, Clan Chief Xia Feilong, elders! Hall Master Xia Yan!" The cloaked man walked close to everyone and took the lead in greeting them with a low voice.
Xia Feilong and several elders all clasped their fists in response and looked at Xia Yan. Xia Yan knew this person, but none of them knew him.
"What should we call you?" Xia Yan thought for a while and asked.
"Name——" The cloaked man paused, seemed to think about it, and said, "Just call me cloaked man. I can't even remember my name. It's been too long, and my brain is a little sluggish."
"Man in cloak?" Xia Yan frowned slightly, then straightened his eyebrows, "You must have something to say when you come today, right? Then let's go to the living room?"
After Xia Yan finished speaking, he looked at Xia Feilong.
"Yes, go to the living room, this is not the place to talk." Xia Feilong said with a smile.
"Whatever!" The cloaked man said two words in a deep voice.
Everyone came to the living room. Xia Feilong asked the servant to serve tea. The cloaked man sat down with the Xia family, and Xia Yan sat opposite the cloaked man.
"What's the matter with you coming here?" Xia Yan asked.
"Strengthen the Xia family!" The cloaked man said very briefly, but the meaning was very clear.
Strengthen the Xia family!
"Huh?" Xia Feilong and several elders were all shocked. What does this mean?
"How to grow stronger?" Xia Yan was not surprised, but a little strange, why did the cloaked man say this?
"First, to improve the personal strength of the Xia family's children, so that the Xia family can gradually become stronger in martial arts and dominate the country. Second, to make the Xia family's business on the mainland even bigger. If we can make the Xia family's business have a
Things that are irreplaceable, this is not difficult to achieve. Third, remove all obstacles that hinder the development of the Xia family and help the Xia family clear the road to the future."
The cloaked man spoke word by word. Although his voice was low, his meaning was expressed clearly.
"Senior, why are you doing this?" Xia Yan pondered again and asked.
He did not doubt that the cloaked man had the strength to be able to come and go without a trace in front of him. Apart from the Holy Emperor, this cloaked man was the second one so far.
Xia Yan even suspected that the cloaked man also had the strength of the Spirit Emperor realm. But why did he still stay in the Dragon Continent? Xia Yan couldn't figure this out either.
"Return a favor that I have to repay!" The cloaked man's eyes suddenly opened, his eyes flashed, and even his voice suddenly became much stronger.
"Of course we welcome you if you are willing to help our Xia family." Xia Yan nodded, "Maybe you don't want to tell me the reason in detail, and I won't force you to ask. But I have a feeling that sooner or later, you will tell
I really want to."
Xia Yan said slowly.
"Haha, maybe, but definitely not now." The cloaked man returned to his previous demeanor and laughed a few times.
"Xia Yan, this..." Xia Feilong still didn't understand something.
Not only him, but the other elders of the Xia family have not yet figured out what is going on. The man in the cloak said that he wanted to help the Xia family grow, but this thing is really weird.
Suddenly a mysterious person appeared and said that he would help him become stronger, but he did not put forward any conditions, which was indeed a bit hard to believe. But Xia Yan seemed to trust him very much.
"Clan leader, elders, if this senior wants to help our Xia family, then our Xia family will definitely rise to the top in the future." Xia Yan looked sideways and looked at Xia Feilong and several elders of the Xia family who looked stunned.
"Then..." Xia Feilong had also seen the world, and he immediately said to the cloaked man thoughtfully, "What does this senior need us to do?"
"I will refine a large number of elixirs. This is a list of the required medicinal materials. Take your time, from low-level to high-level." The cloaked man stood up and took out a piece of paper from his clothes, with a large number of medicinal materials densely written on it.
"With the elixirs I have refined and sold, no force will be able to interfere or take away the Xia family's business." The cloaked man said proudly.
Xia Feilong took the paper personally and took advantage of the opportunity to look at Xia Yan. Xia Yan nodded to Xia Feilong.
"Senior, we will do our best to find all the medicinal materials you need." Xia Feilong looked at the materials on the paper and said solemnly.
