He paused for a moment, then continued, "A while ago, on Yunlan Mountain, if it weren't for Brother Ning's help, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan's face showed surprise, and he said in astonishment, "So that's how it is. No wonder you suddenly regained your talent for cultivation, Yan'er. It turns out it was all thanks to Xiao Ning!"
Xiao Yan: "..."
Damn it, I've been ignored!
He was dejected after hearing his father's words.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan seemed to remember something and looked at Xiao Ning, asking, "By the way, Brother Ning, aren't you afraid that those bastards from the Soul Palace will come looking for trouble now that you've revealed your cultivation level?"
Before Xiao Ning could speak, Xiao Zhan and the others all asked:
"Soul Palace? What is that?"
"Never heard of it. Is it the name of some powerful force?"
"I've never heard of it either!"
Xiao Ning pressed his hands down, and the discussions stopped. Everyone looked at him, feeling that the shock they received today was greater than that of the previous decades.
"Just now, I came back from Canaan Academy. Little Yanzi, guess what I did there?"
Xiao Ning stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Xiao Yan with a smile on his lips, and said calmly.
"Weren't you going to pick up Sister Xiao Yu...?"
Without a second thought, Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Yu in the hall and immediately replied. Then, his eyes widened, revealing an incredulous expression.
He stammered, "Brother Ning...you...you...where did you go? And you got away unscathed?"
Xiao Ning didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
"Holy crap, holy crap! That's awesome!"
While everyone in the hall was completely bewildered, wondering what kind of riddle the two were playing, Xiao Yan suddenly jumped up excitedly and started shouting.
"Brother Ning, did that old dragon give you any trouble? Or did you just glance at it from afar and then run away?"
After a while, Xiao Yan calmed down and asked.
Xiao Ning shook his head, reached out and made a gesture, and immediately dozens of orbs of light floated in front of him, each emitting a seven-colored light, reflecting each other and attracting much attention.
Among them, the most eye-catching was a delicate and translucent white jade box in the very center. The aura it emitted suppressed the surrounding light clusters, making it seem like an emperor.
"Brother Ning... don't scare me..."
Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Yan staggered, more shocked than pleased.
"This pile... could they all be from the Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques and combat skills in the ancient emperor's cave? And the one in the middle jade box, don't tell me it's a nascent Emperor-grade pill?"
Xiao Yan said, trembling.
These words caused an uproar among the people in the hall.
Although the others couldn't understand what the two were saying, they did understand Xiao Yan's last sentence.
Heavenly Rank Techniques and Combat Skills?
Imperial-grade elixirs?
What does this mean? To be honest, even the top executives of the Xiao family didn't know.
After all, they only deal with Yellow-rank cultivation techniques and first-grade pills on a daily basis.
However, even the most ordinary items are priceless and unavailable in the outside world, and the cultivation techniques are the foundation of the Xiao family's existence.
However, they knew that Heaven-rank cultivation techniques and Emperor-grade pills were already the pinnacle of their respective fields.
On the Dou Qi Continent, perhaps only the most powerful forces can possess it.
However, now it's like a wholesale market, with a bunch of Heaven-level cultivation techniques laid out in front of them.
Xiao Ning nodded and said, "I've already taken the entire Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave and brought it all back!"
"Wow! Brother Ning, I'd call you the strongest!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
"So... what do you plan to do with these things?"
He turned his gaze to Xiao Ning and asked.
Upon hearing his words, the Xiao family's senior members also became excited.
Xiao Ning waved his hand and said, "Xiao Yanzi, you keep this Emperor Pill. As for the cultivation techniques and fighting skills, just put them in the family library. You can discuss how to distribute them!"
"Xiao Ning, I will record your merits in the family genealogy, so that future generations may remember them forever!"
Xiao Zhan's expression turned solemn. He straightened his robes, stood up, gave Xiao Ning a deep bow, and said solemnly.
Xiao Ning waved his hand and said, "These are all minor matters, you can handle them as you see fit!"
Turning around, he said to Xiao Yan, "I have already subdued that old dragon, and it will be reporting to Wutan Town in a while!"
"I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first!"
"Little Yanzi, explain the secrets of the Soul Palace and my Xiao family to everyone!"
