"Clan leader, you flatter me. I would be very happy if Hao'er could cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage in the future."
Xiao Ziling thought Xiao Zhan was just joking.
After all, his and his wife's talents were only so-so. It would be amazing if their child could become a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future. How could they dare to hope for a higher realm?
"You all need to have a long-term vision. In that case, how about I teach Xiao Hao from now on?"
Xiao Zhan chuckled.
"Wouldn't this... be too much trouble for you, Chieftain?"
Xiao Ziling asked in surprise.
The two people standing nearby were also surprised that Xiao Zhan would make this request.
“It’s no trouble at all. I have a connection with him, and we’re all family, so it’s only right that I teach him.”
Xiao Zhan was overjoyed.
This kind of fortune, if taken in and left to its own devices, will make them an invincible force in the future.
Of course, Xiao Zhan wouldn't leave him to his own devices; he would invest heavily in nurturing him to become a talent. However, Xiao Hao is still young and it will take a few years before he can be properly trained.
"Then thank you very much, clan chief, for nurturing Hao'er."
Xiao Ziling agreed, and Qin Yining had no objections.
"Hao'er, quickly thank Grandpa Clan Chief. How about you start cultivating with Grandpa from now on?"
"Thank you, Grandpa Clan Chief. Hao'er understands and will definitely be obedient."
Xiao Hao nodded blankly.
Xiao Zhan then circled around the area again, but did not see any other chosen ones.
However, this trip has been very fruitful; Xiao Hao alone is enough.
In the days that followed, everything got back on track.
Everything was fine within the Xiao family. Xiao Hao would come to Xiao Zhan every day to learn cultivation knowledge.
In addition to learning knowledge, Xiao Zhan also used various precious spiritual liquids to nourish Xiao Hao's body.
Even bathing involves soaking in the essence of the earth's treasure.
It can be described as extremely luxurious.
Xiao Zhan was generous in this regard; the benefits of nurturing a Supreme Being were immeasurable.
On the other hand, Xiao Fan was also doing well, as Xiao Zhan provided him with a constant stream of cultivation resources, as well as various sword techniques and skills.
Xiao Fan was very surprised. Why did the clan leader have so many precious things?
Those who are family members know their own situation well. As a third-rate family, the Xiao family might not be able to obtain these things even if they used all their resources.
Although he had doubts, he didn't press the matter. He just kept quiet after receiving the benefits, focused on improving his cultivation level, and hoped to repay Xiao Zhan's kindness in the future.
Both sides proceeded in an orderly manner, and as time went on, Xiao Fan's cultivation level broke through the Foundation Establishment stage and reached the fourth level of Core Formation.
It had only been three months since Xiao Zhan last gave him resources.
The improvement was too fast. Xiao Hao was still a child, but his physique had improved a lot under constant nurturing.
Xiao Zhan himself also advanced from the eighth level of Core Formation to the peak of Core Formation.
There was nothing he could do; his talent was only so-so, no match for these prodigies, the chosen ones of destiny.
The significant improvement he made in the previous year was due to the resources provided by Chu Ge. In the past three months, however, he improved through his own steady progress, combined with the residual medicinal effects in his body.
Nine months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Fan's cultivation level reached the eighth stage of Core Formation.
The efficiency improvement was noticeably slower than usual, which terrified Xiao Zhan. He worried that something might go wrong.
After a conversation, Xiao Zhan finally understood the reason.
It turned out that Xiao Fan was compressing his spiritual power. In his words, if you can't be invincible among those of the same level, then what kind of genius are you?
Xiao Zhan's expression changed at that moment. What do you mean by being invincible among those of the same level? Isn't it satisfying to crush those of a higher realm?
As they get older, these chosen ones all have an invincible spirit.
So he didn't interfere any further.
Xiao Zhan also advanced to the third level of the Nascent Soul stage within these nine months.
He advanced from the third level of Core Formation to the third level of Nascent Soul in two years, spanning a major realm. In any case, he was very satisfied with himself.
Secondly, Xiao Hao, this little rascal, hasn't even started cultivating yet. With Xiao Zhan's continuous nurturing of his body, his physical strength is in no way inferior to that of a cultivator at the sixth level of Body Tempering.
The Xiao family is thriving!
Things didn't stay peaceful for long.
The Ye and Lin families began to stir with ambition.
In the past, their competition for the Xiao family's market was all healthy; at most, they would secretly spread some negative news about the Xiao family's market.
But now both families have openly begun to suppress the Xiao family's market.
They also took the opportunity to acquire a significant portion of the Xiao family's business.
Upon receiving the news, Xiao Zhan was so angry he laughed. "If only your two families could live peacefully, you could live a few more years."
They had to create this situation where everyone had to go down in flames.
"Old Ye, Old Lin, you're courting death. Don't you know that the Xiao family is no longer the same as before?"
Xiao Zhan grinned as he felt the surging power within him.
In the following days, Xiao Zhan recalled the Xiao family members from outside the family and prepared to launch a full-scale war against the Ye and Lin families.
This commotion, of course, could not escape the notice of the two companies that had already planted numerous spies.
Upon receiving the news, the two families met that very evening to discuss countermeasures.
"The Xiao family is preparing to attack us..."
"Hehe, isn't this exactly what we wanted? Have you assembled your men yet?"
“Of course. I predicted the Xiao family would be dissatisfied a month ago, and we’ve already assembled our forces. With our two families joining forces, the Xiao family will be a piece of cake. Then we can split their family business equally.”
"Alright, I'll handle Xiao Zhan. You just focus on killing the Xiao family's mid-level fighters, and we'll have our elders join forces to kill the Xiao family's elders."
"Alright, the Xiao family will meet in half an hour."
The two finalized their plan and led a large force to attack the Xiao family.
This bloody storm caused other nearby families to quickly close their gates, fearing they might be harmed.
Let the third-rate families resolve their own conflicts; these second-rate and third-rate families can just watch the show.
Whichever family survives tonight will be the dominant force in this area.
......
"Hahaha, old man Xiao, come out and face your death!"
Old Man Ye burst into laughter.
Two figures stood high in the sky.
A large number of people surrounded the Xiao family.
The entire Xiao family was awakened.
Xiao Zhan looked at the two people high in the sky with disdain.
They dared to attack without fully understanding the enemy's strength.
Oh, so he's just a nobody at the third level of Core Formation.
It seems Old Man Ye has gotten cocky, thinking I'm still at the third level of Core Formation.
"You two idiots, I thought you had some trump card up your sleeve, but this is all you've got?"
Xiao Zhan smiled.
He slowly flew forward.
"I am deeply sorry for your low IQ; you've lived so long in vain."
"Ha, old man Xiao, you can only be stubborn for now. Today is the day your Xiao family is destroyed!"
"Kill them!"
The two gave orders.
In an instant, the three families were locked in a fierce battle.
Old Man Lin planned to bypass Xiao Zhan and hunt down the middle-ranking members of the Xiao family.
"So shameless? Fine, let's have our Xiao family's pride teach you a lesson! Xiao Fan, get ready!"
Xiao Zhan realized Lin Laotou's intention and slapped him so hard that he flew backwards to one side.
While fighting the enemy, Xiao Fan sensed a figure flying towards him and slashed at it with his sword.
"Clang!"
A sharp sword aura swept across the surroundings.
Old Man Lin was shocked. Holy crap, the Xiao family actually has such an expert, whose cultivation is much higher than theirs!
The thought of death loomed over me.
"No!"
Old Man Lin used every move he had ever made, but he still couldn't break through the endless sword energy.
"Pfft!"
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and a powerful Core Formation stage expert was cleaved into pieces by a single sword strike.
Those around were shocked.
Old Man Ye was completely dumbfounded.
One move!
He killed Old Man Lin, who was on par with me, with just one move?!
"Glug~"
Old Man Ye broke out in a cold sweat, and only when he came to his senses did he notice Xiao Zhan's mocking expression.
"you..."
