Chapter 1482 [Uncle Xiao]
1482
After standing on the martial arts arena for a while, an old man with a goatee and a cyan long gown with slanted eyes came up to the three of them lightly at the back of the main hall.
Glancing at the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family, and then at Yang Chen suspiciously, the old man put his hands behind his back and asked with his eyes raised above his head: "Zhao Muyang, Zhao Ting, what are you two doing here?"
"Housekeeper Xiao, we brothers and sisters want to ask for a elixir for our grandfather, who is nearing the end of his lifespan, and hope to get the help of the elixir to improve his cultivation level to the dark water stage," Zhao Muyang said respectfully.
Yang Chen stood silently behind him. When he came, he knew that Xiao Guyuan, the chief steward of the Xiao family, was a cultivator in the early Kuishui period. He was from a collateral line of the Xiao family, and he was a celebrity beside the head of the family, Xiao Mengyu.
"Oh? Asking for pills?" Xiao Guyuan smiled disdainfully, "Zhao Liangyu is not dead yet? His comprehension is at the end of Kuishui's late stage. It's useless to ask for pills, it's just a waste."
The faces of the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family changed suddenly, and they were as pale as paper, but they dared not speak out, and lowered their heads, fearing that Xiao Guyuan would see the anger on their faces.
After Zhao Muyang endured it, he raised his head and forced an apologetic smile and said, "Boss, this trip is with us, and this brother Xiao Chenxiao, he is a friend I know who just entered Hongmeng, I recommend him to join the Xiao family ..."
Although Yang Chen hated this Xiao Guyuan very much, he still acted very cooperatively at the moment, bowed with a smile and said, "I'm Xiao Chen, recommended by brother Zhao, I admire the Xiao family, and want to come here for refuge."
"I was just about to ask, where did a little guy in the early stage of transformation come from?" Xiao Guyuan looked Yang Chen up and down, and said with a sneer: "You are only in the early stage of transformation, so don't be afraid that we don't want you, but go back to Hongmeng Killed by the Hongmeng people as a traitor again?"
Yang Chen shook his head, and said resolutely: "I'm still very young, although I've just reached the stage of transformation, I believe it won't take many years before I can enter the stage of crossing the tribulation, and then I will naturally be able to contribute to the Xiao family."
"Haha, I really don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, it won't be too late to say these things after you can live to the tribulation stage." Xiao Guyuan didn't directly reject Yang Chen's joining.
The hermit family really needs fresh blood. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. If the family does not accept others, the other two families will accept them.
Therefore, the ancient family has always been open to monks who are above the stage of transforming gods. Anyway, the relationship with Hongmeng has always been bad, and they dug it blatantly.
With the identity of the recommender as the bargaining chip of the family, Xiao Guyuan obviously treats the Zhao family brothers and sisters a little more, and it is embarrassing to let them go for nothing.
"The head of the family is retreating, and I don't know when he will come out. I will take you to see the uncle, and let him decide."
After Xiao Guyuan finished speaking, he took the lead in walking towards the main hall.
Saying that Xiao Mengyu is in retreat is actually just rhetoric, Xiao Mengyu would not bother to see the two juniors of the humble vassal family even if they were there.
The so-called "uncle" is Xiao Mengyu's eldest son, Xiao Mohui, who is also the elder brother of Xiao Zhiqing's biological father Xiao Mozheng.
The three of them followed Xiao Guyuan into the main hall, stepping on the thick pine wood floor, the air was filled with the fragrance of red sandalwood, dragons and phoenixes were carved around the hall, many inscriptions were engraved, and many ancient paintings were hung, making it look majestic And elegant.
A middle-aged man with long black hair combed behind his head, wearing an ancient brocade robe, sitting gracefully on the chair of the master of the hall, holding a book at the moment, reading it with great interest.
Yang Chen took a look, this Xiao Mohui was only at the mid-stage of Underworld cultivation, and although he was considered a master in the illusion, he didn't pose any threat to Yang Chen.
The arrogance on Xiao Guyuan's face has been put away, showing a flattering smile, he stepped forward and bowed and said: "Master, brothers and sisters Zhao Muyang and Zhao Ting from the Zhao family came to see you with a kid who wants to join our Xiao family Yes. They want to find a panacea to help Zhao Liangyu survive the Kwai Shui period."
Xiao Mohui raised his head, revealing a handsome man with sharp edges and corners, a mature temperament, but somewhat casual and lazy.
"Oh, it's this boy in the early stage of transformation?" Xiao Mo regretted and said with a strange smile: "The elixir to be used in the tribulation stage must be at least a medium-grade or above elixir. If you want to have a great effect, you must It's a high-grade elixir... Don't you think it's a stupid thing to just find a young boy in the early stage of transformation to take refuge in a high-grade elixir?"
Zhao Muyang and Zhao Ting's faces were ugly, and they immediately fell to their knees.
"Grandpa, please see that our Zhao family and Xiao family have been bound for thousands of years, and we are very kind. Grandpa is only short of the last help. If he can enter the dark water period, he will definitely do more for the Xiao family. , will never forget the great kindness of the Xiao family!" Zhao Muyang pleaded.
Xiao Mohui yawned, and dug his ears, "Underworld... Humph, not to mention whether he can really step in. Even if Zhao Liangyu really stepped in, his old bones might not have much Nian Yangshou.
Give him a high-grade elixir, at most in the dark water stage, but leave the top-grade elixir for those masters who have already reached the peak of Samadhi True Fire, or those in the dark water stage. Breakthrough into weak water period...
Father retreats, and I have recently been in charge of the internal affairs of the Xiao family. I can't waste the precious top-grade panacea for nothing. "
The brothers and sisters of the Zhao family felt chilled for a while, and what Xiao Mohui said was indeed true. Although they were anxious to renew their grandfather's life, judging from the entire Xiao family and the subordinate families below, the death of an old man in the sunflower water period, the birth of a karmic fire period, or People at the peak of Mingshui are more valuable.
But such blunt words made the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family feel disheartened. They thought that if they recommended a monk to join them, even if they didn't have the high-grade elixir, they would give them a few middle-grade elixirs. Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo regretted So heartless, only looking at the interests of the family.
"Grandpa, please be merciful. In our Zhao family, only grandpa can protect us. If grandpa leaves, the other families who have grievances with us will definitely suppress and rob us. At that time, our Zhao family will be able to protect us." Will be murdered.
Many of our Zhao family's descendants have outstanding talents. There are already more than a dozen young descendants who have entered the innate realm. In less than ten or twenty years, there will inevitably be another batch of monks above the transformation stage. Wouldn't it be right by then? Is the Xiao family more beneficial? "Zhao Ting tried hard to persuade, with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Mohui put down the book, walked up to Zhao Ting, bent down, stretched out his hand to pinch Zhao Ting's chin, and lifted the woman's face.
"Tsk tsk, it's really the little girl I've seen so pitifully. Without realizing it, it's been so many years. More than 20 years ago, she was still a little girl, and now she looks so juicy."
Zhao Ting's eyes showed a bit of panic, her face was a little blushing, but she didn't dare to disobey, while Zhao Muyang was trembling nervously.
Xiao Mo regretted that he didn't do much, he pointed at Zhao Ting's face, and said: "It's a pity, no matter how many reasons you have, you won't be sure, it's impossible to want a high-grade elixir... a low-grade elixir Dan, thinking about old love, I can give you a few pills."
"Inferior?" Brother and sister Zhao Muyang looked distressed, and the lower-rank panacea had almost no effect on monks in the tribulation period.
At this time, Yang Chen who was behind said: "Master, I'm Xiao Chen, I have something I want to report."
Xiao Mohui glanced at him, waved his hands and said: "I know, don't worry, you can join my Xiao family, although your cultivation base is still low, but because you have the same surname as my Xiao family, I won't treat you badly." , I will arrange a place for you, and I will give you a few low-grade pills, so that you can practice well in the future, and if Hongmeng finds you, I, Xiao Family, will protect you."
Yang Chen smiled, "Xiao naturally believes that the Xiao family will not treat you badly. However, although I have only cultivated in the early stage of transformation, I still have some unique features in my self-confidence. It is not just as simple as the early stage of transformation. Brother Zhao put me It is recommended to come here, you should get some benefits."
Both Xiao Mohui and Xiao Guyuan looked at him in surprise, while the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family were confused, not knowing what Yang Chen was going to do.
"How do you say?" Xiao Mohui became somewhat interested.
"I have been endowed with extraordinary talent since I was a child, my body is extremely good, and I have practiced a lot of body training skills. Although I am only in the early stage of transformation, my combat power is enough to match the middle or even late stage of transformation, and I am only under thirty. In the future, as long as the Xiao family is willing to give If you support it, it will definitely add a lot of help to the Xiao family." Yang Chen showed a confident look.
Xiao Mohui and Xiao Guyuan obviously didn't believe it, and were about to say something when a woman's charming laughter came from outside the hall.
