Xiantian Peak, in the wooden house.
Xiao Mian looked at Xiao Yi, wondering why he called him here.
"Give."
Xiao Yi took out a white jade box and handed it to Xiao Mian.
Xiao Mian took it and opened it. It turned out to be a grass with seven leaves. As the white jade box opened, a strange fragrance spread out from it.
"Seven-star grass?"
Xiao Mian looked at the grass and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Um."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Go back, take it, and try to make another step forward... Half a step to innateness is different from another half a step to innateness."
"Uncle Seven, I..."
Xiao Mian wanted to refuse, as the Seven-Star Grass was too precious and could be effective even for innate masters.
"It is useless for me to keep it. Or rather, it will be more useful to you than to me."
Xiao Yi waved his hand.
"After a while, I will leave the Xiao family and travel abroad. The Xiao family... still needs you to take charge! On weekdays, you don't have to take care of many matters of the Xiao family. You don't have to go out unless it's a major matter. Do you understand?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Mian was startled: "Seventh Uncle, you want to go out and travel? You don't want to be in seclusion anymore?"
"No, I've been in seclusion all day and I don't know what the outside world is like."
Xiao Yi shook his head.
"I also want to go out and visit some old friends. I wonder... how many of them are still alive."
"Um."
Xiao Mian nodded.
"Seven Star Grass can enhance your cultivation, but unfortunately... if you combine it with a few other herbs and have someone refine the pills for you to take, the effect will be better. However, the other herbs are too difficult to find, and it will cost a lot to find someone to refine the pills. So you should just take it like this."
Xiao Yi said to Xiao Mian.
"You should have seen clearly today that Xiao Chen still cares about the Xiao family, otherwise he would not have taken action... Next, there will probably be a big chaos. You have to become stronger so that you can lead the Xiao family and keep up with his pace."
"Follow him?"
Xiao Mian was startled.
"That's right."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Some people say that Xiao Chen is the 'chosen one' and that he is the 'trend' in today's environment. My Xiao family is blessed by nature, so we must follow the trend and cannot go against it!"
"The Chosen One... the trend?"
Xiao Mian seemed to understand, but not quite.
"There are some things you don't need to ask too much. If you don't reach the innate level, in the end..."
Xiao Yi said this and didn't say anything else.
In today's environment, it is not easy to achieve innateness.
Although he has been in seclusion, he still knows something about the ancient martial arts world.
People like Nie Jingfeng, Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, Sword God Xue Chunqiu, etc., are all extremely talented people, and their talents are all above Xiao Mian.
Since even they have not reached the innate realm, Xiao Mian has almost no hope!
“In addition, select a group of core disciples with good talents, take out martial arts resources, let them practice, and strengthen their strength... Remember, not only the children of the Xiao family, but also the disciples of various halls, are treated equally!”
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Mian and said seriously.
"Everyone? Equally?"
Xiao Mian frowned.
"Will this..."
"I know your worries. Open your horizons and have a bigger vision. The Xiao family is a whole. Only when they are strong can the Xiao family become stronger! As long as I am alive, you are alive, and Xiao Chen is alive, who dares to have other thoughts?"
Xiao Yi waved his hand and spoke slowly.
"The Xiao family now not only lacks top-level combat power, but also the strength of its disciples is not good enough, so we must make them stronger in a short period of time. Not to mention catching up with the four sects, but at least we have to move forward among the aristocratic families."
"I understand, Uncle Seven."
Xiao Mian nodded.
"Uncle Qi, do you mean... Xiao Chen will return to the Xiao family?"
"Definitely."
Xiao Yi said this with great certainty.
"Then...if he becomes stronger, the Xiao family will become stronger. How about giving him the Seven Star Grass?"
Xiao Mian hesitated and said.
Xiao Yi was a little surprised when he heard Xiao Mian's words.
He looked at Xiao Mian and smiled. He was not wrong about him. Xiao Mian might have some thoughts, but he was wholeheartedly for the Xiao family, and that was enough!
"No, he has his own path, we shouldn't interfere... If he needs to rely on these external things to become stronger, he won't lack them."
Xiao Yi shook his head and said to Xiao Mian.
"Um."
When Xiao Mian heard Xiao Yi say this, he nodded and said nothing more.
"Also, Xuan Hai and Ximen Ping mentioned the secret realm this time. How long will it take until the next secret realm opens?"
Xiao Yi thought of something and asked.
"Three months."
Xiao Mian replied.
"Three months... should still be enough."
Xiao Yi thought about it and sat up straight.
"Next time in the secret realm, let Xiao Yu lead people into the secret realm!"
"Xiao Yu?"
Hearing this, Xiao Mian was shocked.
"He is still weak..."
"Weak? He was able to cross two realms and cripple the Ximen family kid. I don't think he is weak... At his age, are you as strong as him? Are you as ruthless as him?"
Xiao Yi asked with a smile.
"this……"
Xiao Mian thought about it and shook his head.
Xiao Yu's performance today also surprised him. He exchanged his arm for Ximen Youwei's arm and leg. How cruel.
"If he doesn't want to live under Xiao Chen's halo, then he has to work hard. Three months later, let him lead people into the secret realm... If he wants to become stronger, he has to fight for resources and opportunities..."
Xiao Yi made the final decision.
"Within these three months, we will train a group of people for him, open up the martial arts resource library, and select the most talented and hardworking people. As long as they are talented and hardworking enough, the Xiao family will be open to investing resources in them!"
"Uncle Qi, if that's the case, the Xiao family's background..."
Xiao Mian hesitated, wanting to say something.
These martial arts resources are also the heritage of an aristocratic family. Now that they are being spent, even with the Xiao family's heritage, they probably won't be able to hold out for long.
"Xiao Chen is right. People are the greatest foundation. What's the point of just keeping some resources if we are weak? If we don't invest resources now and train a large number of experts, someday... those resources left behind will only fall into other people's pockets!"
Xiao Yi said in a deep voice.
"My Xiao family has a hundred years of heritage, and we cannot let other forces take it away. Instead of letting them snatch it away, it is better to use it on our own disciples... When people become stronger, they will be qualified to compete for resources and opportunities. In this way, the Xiao family will become stronger and stronger."
"I understand, Uncle Seven."
Xiao Mian was startled, then nodded.
"These...are all what Xiao Chen said?"
"Well, last night, this guy analyzed the current situation of the Xiao family with me. Do you know how he evaluated the Xiao family?"
Xiao Yi nodded and asked with a smile.
"How do you rate it?"
Xiao Mian was also curious.
"decay."
Xiao Yi slowly uttered two words.
"What? Decay? This kid... is so bold!"
Hearing these two words, Xiao Mian slammed the table in anger.
"Look, why are you so anxious? I wasn't that angry at the time, but thinking about what he said, it does make sense... So, the Xiao family needs to be reformed, and it's time to break it down before building it up."
Xiao Yi's tone became serious as he finished speaking.
"Um."
Xiao Mian also suppressed his temper and thought about it, perhaps it was time for reform.
"By the way, have all the people who were in seclusion come out?"
Xiao Yi thought of something and asked.
"Almost. I've notified everyone."
Xiao Mian nodded.
"By the way, Xiao Qian might also be about to break through."
"Are you going to break through?"
When Xiao Yi heard Xiao Mian's words, his eyes lit up.
"In other words, the Xiao family will have one more half-step Xiantian?"
"Um."
Xiao Mian nodded.
"But...he has always been close to Xiao Bo."
"First of all, he is a member of the Xiao family, isn't he?"
Xiao Yi said slowly.
"Since he is about to break through, let's not disturb him. At this time, the Xiao family has another half-step innate, which is very useful."
"good."
Xiao Mian responded.
"It seems... my Xiao family is about to rise, and things will get better and better."
Xiao Yi smiled.
"By the way, when you go down the mountain later, tell them not to spread what happened today."
"Um?"
Xiao Mian was startled, then realized that Xiao Yi was protecting Xiao Chen.
"We won't spread it, but Xuantian Sect and Ximen Family..."
"Do they have the nerve to publicize it? If they don't, even if the news spreads, there is no definite evidence that Xiao Chen can fight against a half-step innate..."
Xiao Yi said slowly.
"Although Xiao Chen is very strong, he is still not strong enough to face Xiantian... He still needs time."
"I see."
Xiao Mian nodded, took the white jade box, and left Xiantian Peak.
"Old fortune teller... Is this chaotic world really as you said? My Xiao family is already in the vortex and there is no way to escape it?"
Xiao Yi stood with his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes and looking towards the courtyard where Xiao Chen was.
"Everything... has already been predetermined?"
In the courtyard, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and pulled out the Nine Flame Mysterious Needle.
"The injury has been suppressed for now, but it will probably take more than a week to recover."
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, thinking that he would not take any action next, so he was not in a hurry.
He got up and left the room. Xiao Yu and others were outside, and Xiao Lin also came.
"Seventh Uncle."
Xiao Chen shouted.
"Why are you here?"
"I came to see you, how are you injured?"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"It's nothing serious."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Didn't you take the Tianyuan Pill?"
Xiao Lin asked.
"No, I can't bear to eat the Tianyuan Pill even though you praised it so much."
Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Xiao Yu.
"What about you? How are you?"
"The internal injuries are fine, just the pain in the bones."
Xiao Yu raised his arm which was already hanging up and said.
"Give."
Xiao Chen took out a few bottles of blue potion.
"Pour it on your arm, and it will work just as well."
"good."
Xiao Yu took it, opened it, and asked Bai Ye to help pour it up.
"Boy, do you have any idea of going back to the Xiao family?"
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Uncle Qi, you don't have to be so straightforward, right?"
Xiao Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then shook his head.
"No, I don't plan to go back to the Xiao family."
“If you really didn’t care about the Xiao family, you wouldn’t have taken action today. Don’t say that you can’t fool anyone because of Xiao Yu and me.”
Xiao Lin said seriously.
"Uncle Qi, don't force me. Let's see what Lao Xiao tells me."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and spoke slowly.
"good."
Xiao Lin smiled. Xiao Chen did not refuse outright, which meant there was still hope.
"Wait until you come back."
