Chapter 219: Traveling to Jia Ma Sacred City

Over the next few days, as Xiao Ming had predicted, all those forces came to the Xiao family begging for him to meet with them.

There were those who thought they were super talented and came to his door to worship him as Master. There were those who were rich and came to ask him for pills. There were also those who simply wanted to approach him to make good connections. In short, there were all kinds of people.

For these people, the Xiao family had kindly advised them to leave, saying that his Supreme Elder had told them that he would be in seclusion refining pills and would be too busy to receive them.

Of course, not everyone would be expelled from the Xiao family. For example, the people of the Jia Ma Imperial Family were not expelled by the Xiao family, after all, the family still wanted to develop in the Jia Ma Empire.

However, in the end, the emissary from the Jia Ma Sacred City still could not see Xiao Ming, and that was because Xiao Ming was doing what he said; refining pills.

He was refining a pill for the Amethyst Winged Lion King's son, the fifth-tier pill, "Cuiping Saliva".

Previously, Zi Yan had stolen the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence from the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and he was fine with it before. However, now that the Lion King had been his mount for almost two years, every time he thought about it, Xiao Ming felt a little embarrassed. But it was impossible to return the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence as he had long since split it equally between him and Zi Yan.

When a Heavenly Treasure came into Zi Yan's hands, it usually didn't last for more than a few days.

Xiao Ming still had the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence in his possession, which he had not touched at all. However, only half of the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence would not be very effective, so Xiao Ming used the Core Quenching Body Milk, combined with some medicinal herbs to refine the Cuiping Saliva for the Amethyst Winged Lion King's son.

Although the Cuiping Saliva was not as good as the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence, it was not much worse and had some potential enhancing effect, which was not bad at all. The Amethyst Winged Lion King, of course, was very happy about this and even roared at the back of the Xiao family's mountain for half a day.

Aside from this, there was a problem with the recipe for the Emperor's Stream Pulp. Xiao Ming had checked quite a few recipes, but there was none for this treasure, which might be related to the fact that the Emperor's Stream Pulp was too rare. Realizing this, Xiao Ming could only create the recipe himself.

Xiao Ming needed a lot of brain cells to come up with new ideas and it would take him some time to finish his creation.

After completing the refinement of the Cuiping Saliva, Xiao Shan returned to the Xiao family.

He was overjoyed to see Xiao Ming and immediately invited him to his home for a meal.

During their time together, Xiao Shan introduced his wife to Xiao Ming.

It turns out that Xiao Shan married during the year Xiao Ming went into seclusion to become a Dou Ancestor.

At 27 years old, in the Dou Qi continent where adulthood is reached at 16, getting married at this age is considered quite late.

In the original story, Xiao Yan had actually said those words, and it could be seen that Xiao Zhan knew his son quite well.

"Alas, I won't ask you to do anything, Supreme Elder, I know that the Ice Emperor has invited you to make a trip to the Imperial Capital, when the time comes, I only hope that you can just pass by the Misty Cloud Sect to watch the battle of Yan'er." Xiao Zhan's tone contained a hint of pleading.

It had to be said that Xiao Zhan was really good to his son.

At the time, he embezzled a large amount of the family funds for Xiao Yan, which was the reason why his conflict with the three Elders had escalated.

Now, he could lower his face and plead with Xiao Ming.

However, although Xiao Zhan might have been a good father, the mere fact that he had embezzled the clan's funds was proof that he was not a good Clan Head.

Xiao Zhan's tone of voice made even Xiao Ming sigh at his words. To be honest, Xiao Yan's second brother's tone had not been to his liking when he went in search of Qing Lin at Desert City earlier.

Such matters were originally between his own family line, and even if they were from the same Clan, it would not be good for him to get involved in them.

If things didn't go well for Xiao Yan, they might even blame him and think he owed them something. If he really owed something in the past, then everything he had left for the Xiao family over the years had been enough to make up for it, right?

Xiao Zhan was more level-headed than his second son and knew that this sort of thing had nothing to do with Xiao Ming at all.

Therefore, he only used a pleading tone to ask Xiao Ming to take a look at his son, while suggesting that Xiao Yan's cultivation talent was good.

Of course, he did not bring up the topic of compensation, as any form of compensation he could think of would not appeal to Xiao Ming. In fact, offering something could only offend him.

"Alright, I'll take a look at him in due course."

Going to the Misty Cloud Sect was something Xiao Ming had decided on long ago, whether Xiao Zhan begged him to or not.

There was also the method to refine a body, which Xiao Ming had to obtain.

So, he had to meet Xiao Yan no matter what.

As for protecting Xiao Yan? By looking at the two peaks Dou Emperor of the Snake-People Tribe in the Simulator, and then at Yao Lao, who could possibly mess with him?

Xiao Zhan finally left satisfied, and the next day, Xiao Ming took Zi Yan and also Xiao Yi Xian directly to the Imperial Capital.
