Xiao Chen took Bai Ye away.

Because Nangong Ling was traveling with them, the two were able to hitchhike instead of taking a taxi.

Of course, it’s not easy to get a taxi in this remote area.

When Nangong Ling learned that the two people came by taxi, she looked a little strange, but didn't say anything.

After the three men left, Fatty Chen was still cursing.

It’s nothing... He was provoked and despised by Xiao Chen.

"The martial arts world has really changed. Nangong, when we were young, how could we dare to be so arrogant? When we met the elders, we had to be respectful. But the young people nowadays don't take the elders seriously at all."

Fatty Chen gritted his teeth.

“Haha, that’s because you were weak when you were young and didn’t dare to act recklessly.”

Nangong Bufan exposed him mercilessly.

"Hmm... who is weak? I am not weak, okay? I have accumulated a lot and now I am soaring into the sky!"

Fatty Chen stared.

"Also, what has the martial arts world become now? Xiao Chen looks down on Hua Jin in his words and deeds, and even says that Hua Jin in its early stages is cannon fodder... This kid is really too proud, thinking that he can fight against Xiantian, so he looks down on Hua Jin!"

"Well, his realm...is now higher than yours."

Nangong Bufan coughed and reminded.

"He is now at the Great Perfection of Hua Jin, and you... are still at the peak of the late Hua Jin stage."

“…”

Fatty Chen was so angry that he was almost out of breath. It had only been a short time, how could it be like this?

"Haha, Fatty, just accept your fate!"

The wine fairy took a sip of wine and rubbed his red nose.

"You... you are not even as good as the youngsters now. How did you survive?"

"Why are you so arrogant, you old drunkard? You are a little stronger than me, but not by much... You act like you are so strong, but you still can't beat Xiao Chen."

Fatty Chen retorted.

"Haha, I don't have any great pursuits in this life. It's enough to be better than you... Let's drink a little wine, and then be a little better than you, that's beautiful."

The wine fairy laughed a few times.

"I won't board the ship when the emperor calls me, claiming that I am a wine fairy..."

"The Immortal of Wine... You are an old drunkard."

Fatty Chen looked at Old Long in annoyance.

"Master Long, how strong is Xiao Chen now? I could still weigh him before, but now... forget it. It would be too embarrassing if he gets beaten."

"Look, this guy keeps scolding Xiao Chen, but he's actually worried about that kid."

Nangong Bufan chuckled.

"Don't worry, he won't be left alone against three half-step innates."

Mr. Long also smiled.

"I know, but as for Old Lu...if that kid really stops the Half-Step Innate, Old Lu might really not care about him."

Fatty Chen was a little worried.

"I'm here, right? You don't trust Lao Lu, but you also don't trust me?"

Mr. Long took a sip of tea and said.

"Tonight, I will go there in person... With me here, even if Lao Lu and the others have some ulterior motives, they won't dare to do anything."

"That's fine."

Fatty Chen nodded.

"Can he...really fight three half-step Xiantians now?"

Nangong Bufan looked at Elder Long and asked.

"I don't know, I think... it should be possible."

Elder Long nodded.

"He is stronger than we thought..."

"Three half-step innates... Doesn't that mean they are the best among those below the innate? Even stronger than that old man Xuankong?"

Fatty Chen smacked his lips.

"His opponent is not Xuan Kong, not a half-step Xiantian, but... Xiantian."

Elder Long said softly.

"It will even... become stronger and higher."

“I’m really old.”

The wine fairy who had been drinking also sighed.

"Seeing this kid rise up...it's only been a short time since he went to Badi and I took him to fight the God-Slaying Sect!"

"Okay, stop bragging about this. I've heard you brag about it more than ten times. You say you're not tired of it, but I'm tired of hearing it."

Fatty Chen interrupted the hotel and a murderous look flashed across his fat face.

"But tonight... let's do as that kid said. Anyone who trespasses will be killed!"

"After this battle, Xiao Chen and the Holy See of Light will fight to the death..."

Elder Long said slowly.

"Hasn't it been like this for a long time?"

Fatty Chen looked at Old Long and asked.

"It was like this before, but it wasn't made public, and Xiao Chen also passed on some blame... But this time it's different. The Holy See of Light came after him, and it's obvious that they not only want the Black Blood Wand, but also his life. This is a fight to the death."

Elder Long explained.

"I just didn't expect... that he got the news in advance. This kid surprised me too."

"Haha, now that you mention it, it's true."

Fatty Chen also laughed.

"As seniors, we are a little weak, but we can't just stand by and watch the Holy See of Light bully our children... Tonight, we will fight him to the death."

…

After Xiao Chen and the other two left, they went straight back to the Xiao family manor.

“Someone is watching.”

Xiao Chen noticed it as soon as he arrived at the Xiao family manor.

In the morning, when they left, there were some, but not so many.

Now... there are at least five groups of people eyeing the Xiao Manor.

"Do we need to kill him?"

Bai Ye asked.

"No, after tonight, it won't be too late to make them disappear if they're still here."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said lightly.

The car slowly drove into the Xiao manor.

"If Bai Ye can go, why can't I?"

Nangong Ling looked at Xiao Chen and asked.

She also knew what Xiao Chen had promised Bai Ye, and that she could go as long as she exerted her energy.

But she had already reached the state of Hua Jin, and was even stronger than Hao Jian, so she was not a weakling.

"We can't be without experts at the Xiao Manor... Fairy Sister alone is far from enough."

Xiao Chen said to Nangong Ling.

"I'll feel more at ease if you stay."

Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Nangong Ling frowned: "Are you worried that someone will attack Xiao's Manor?"

"We have to be on guard. We can't not be on guard."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"good."

Nangong Ling agreed when she heard Xiao Chen say this.

Then, she noticed something strange. The spiritual energy here was much richer than outside.

"Xixi set up a spirit gathering formation."

Xiao Chen said to Nangong Ling.

"oh."

Nangong Ling nodded.

"You and Xixi...are you okay? Xixi was thinking about you and wanted to go see you..."

Xiao Chen looked at Nangong Ling and said.

"But later, she was busy setting up the formation, so I didn't take her with me."

"I know."

Nangong Ling said this, without any other expression, and walked forward with the sword in hand.

"Brother Chen, time is running out. Don't worry about your harem. We can't fight... Let me change my strength first."

Bai Ye urged.

"Let's call Xiaodao and the others to help us, and see if we can all break through..."

Xiao Chen rolled his eyes at Bai Ye and said.

"good."

Bai Ye nodded and called Xiaodao and the others.

Soon, everyone, including Li Hanhou, gathered together.

"I need it too?"

Hao Jian asked, he had already reached the state of transformation.

"Don't you want to improve your physique and become stronger?"

Xiao Chen looked at him.

“…”

Hao Jian remained silent.

"Xiao Bai, you know how to operate it, start injecting water! I'll go prepare the herbs."

Xiao Chen said this and went to prepare the herbs.

In fact, the realms of Bai Ye and the others are not that different.

People like Bai Ye and Li Hanhou are both at the peak of the late stage of dark energy.

Especially Li Hanhou, who was just a little bit away from achieving perfection in his dark energy.

And Xiaodao's combat power can barely reach the level of Hua Jin, but the level is a little lower.

Sun Wugong was considered the strongest in this small team at the beginning. He always maintained the leading realm and had already achieved the great perfection of dark energy.

Therefore, the person most likely to break through the level of Hua Jin is not Bai Ye and Li Hanhou, but Sun Wugong.

"You guys go first this time, and we'll call Big Fatty and the others next time..."

Xiao Chen also hasn't forgotten the 'Seven Fighters of Longmen', and Old Long said that Big Fatty and the others will follow him from now on.

So, if something good happens, he will naturally not forget Dapang and the others.

After all... when he was not very powerful, these seven thugs helped him do a lot of things.

Although money was given, no one took it seriously.

The herbs were quickly prepared and thrown into the large barrel.

"Is this thing reliable? It won't cook me, will it?"

Bai Ye looked at the barrel and asked.

"Stop dithering like a woman... Hurry up and get in when the water is warm enough."

Xiao Chen was in a bad mood. He didn't have the same patience towards men as he did towards Zhuge Qingxi and Ye Ziyi.

“…”

Several people stopped talking and waited quietly.

While waiting, Xiao Chen called Zhuge Qingxi, who came over and set up a small spirit gathering formation.

"By the way, Ling'er is back, did you see her?"

Xiao Chen said to Zhuge Qingxi.

"Yeah, I met Sister Ling'er and we chatted for a while."

Zhuge Qingxi nodded.

Xiao Chen looked at Zhuge Qingxi and felt relieved that there was probably no quarrel between them.

After the spirit gathering formation was set up, Zhuge Qingxi left.

At this time, the water temperature rose and the medicine liquid gradually changed color.

"Okay, let's all go in."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"Brother Chen, are you just watching from the side?"

Bai Ye asked as he took off his clothes.

"I'm used to having beautiful women around when I take a shower, but it's so awkward to have a man watching me."

"If you're not afraid of any problems, I can stay away from watching."

Xiao Chen looked at him and said.

"No, just watch, the transformation of energy is more important."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he took off his clothes in no time and jumped into the barrel.

The others also put their food into the bucket, one for each person.

This is also what Xiao Chen thought of when he was doing these things. There are single rooms, rooms with two or three people, and rooms with five or six people.

"Mmm... so comfortable."

"Yeah, not bad, not as hot as I thought."

After several people entered the barrel, they expressed their opinions.

"This bucket... is a bit small."

Li Hanhou said in a muffled voice.

Hearing Li Hanhou's words, Xiao Chen looked over and laughed. Hey, he actually forgot about this and didn't get a big bucket for this big guy.

Although it could accommodate Li Hanhou, it was obviously much smaller and he couldn't move freely inside.

"Just make do with this. I'll get you a bigger size some other day."

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and start practicing!"

"good."

Bai Ye and others nodded and closed their eyes.

Xiao Chen was watching from the side, he could feel the spiritual energy being dispersed...Among them, the one who absorbed the most was not Hao Jian, who had the highest realm, but Li Hanhou.

"Can we work together... I'm looking forward to it."

Xiao Chen looked at the large barrels with a strange expression. This level of upgrade is probably the only one of its kind in the ancient martial arts world, right?

The power of cooking?
