Chapter 2: Family Secrets
In the family convention hall, the patriarch Xiao Zhentian and the six elders looked serious.
The news sent back by the Qiao family has been hidden and lurking in the Qiao family for a long time has made the atmosphere in the conference hall very depressed. Qiao Fengming, the grandson of the Qiao family, another big family in Wangqiu Town, joined the Qingyun Sect ten years after joining the Qingyun Sect, his cultivation reached the early stage of the God-making Realm and became an elder of the outer sect. The Xiao family and the Qiao family have been in constant disputes for hundreds of years, and their hatred is extremely deep, and they are life-and-death enemies.
Looking at the Great Zhou Kingdom, there are only a hundred warriors with a cultivation level above the God Creation Realm, including the royal family, the four major sects and some famous families. In Wangqiu Town, only three people have reached the God Creation Realm.
Everyone knows what it means when a god-making warrior appeared in the Qiao family. What's more, in the past six months, the spirit stone mine in Yunlong Mountain has been in trouble. Originally, a few years ago, the city lord of Shangluo City had assigned the three best mines to the Qiao family based on the results of the family competition, and the remaining three mines to the Xiao family. However, the Qiao family was more and more eager to dig. When mining, they dug in the direction of the mine veins close to the Xiao family, and seized the resources of the Xiao family.
The Xiao family complained to the city lord of Shangluo City and asked for sanctions against the Qiao family. In the end, because they could not provide real evidence and could not win the lawsuit, they had to hold on secretly.
"The patriarch, you can't be bullied anymore. You should think of solutions to reverse the adverse situation." The eldest elder looked cold and looked at the patriarch and other elders.
"In the past two months, the grain has not been harvested, and the green and yellow have not been collected. The amount of spirit stone harvesting has decreased. I can't sell it for money, and I have no money to purchase grain for my tribe." The second elder Xiao Zhennan was frowning and turned his head to look at the elder.
"The spirit stone mine has been mined for many years. The more I dig it inside, the more waste stones there are, the more waste stones there are, and it is very likely to become waste mines in the future." The Great Elder looked at the second elder, with a hint of sarcasm.
The best ore veins of the Xiao family are controlled by the Great Elder, and the other two are controlled by the clan leader and the second elder.
The Great Elder's mine produces high quality and large quantity of spirit stones. However, in recent months, the output and quality have dropped sharply, which is no different from the other two mines. The tribe members talked behind their backs and secretly accused the Great Elder of privately intercepting spirit stones for their practice for people of their own faction.
"Okay, the ore problem is not difficult to solve. The key is that the Qiao family's strength has increased greatly. It is very likely that it will be a good cause for trouble in the future. We must prepare early. Of course, as long as the Supreme Elder of the Xiao family is here, there is no danger of being exterminated. However, if the family has no improvement in cultivating the younger generations, if the Qiao family does not need to take the initiative to destroy us, they may collapse first." After the clan leader Xiao Zhentian finished speaking, he looked at the elders with a serious expression.
"The number of spirit stones produced every month is getting smaller and smaller, which no longer meets the needs of the clan's people's cultivation. If this continues, the gap between us and the Qiao family will become increasingly larger in terms of cultivating clans." The second elder's expression was very worried.
"I think it's better to reform the distribution method of spirit stones. People who are over thirty years old and whose cultivation has been stagnant for more than two years will have a monthly supply of spirit stones in half, from ten yuan per person to five yuan, and allocate the remaining spirit stones to tribe members aged fifteen to twenty." Seeing that no one spoke, the second elder said out his idea that he had already thought of.
"Zhennan's idea is good. If anyone else has any opinions, I will say it." The patriarch Xiao Zhentian thought that the second elder's method was feasible.
Xiao Zhennan's idea was very targeted, and no one could give any comments, and no one in the conference room spoke.
"Since everyone has no objection, this matter is decided. Everyone here should give more guidance to young people while practicing. As long as everyone works together, they will not be afraid of the Qiao family causing trouble." Xiao Zhentian showed a strong expression.
"Bang! Dang!"
The gate of the conference hall was suddenly knocked open, and Xiao Wancheng rushed into the conference hall in a blink of an eye.
"Wancheng, what are you doing? You are so frivolous, you don't understand any rules!" Xiao Zhennan scolded his son Xiao Wancheng without hesitation.
"Dad, good news, good news, our Xiao family has produced a talented martial arts practitioner, a child prodigy!" Xiao Wancheng was excited, with a hint of incomprehensible madness.
"What did you say? Child prodigy? Say it again." Xiao Zhennan did not hide his suspicion at all.
"Dad, your grandson Xiao Tianyu, he is a prodigy, he is a prodigy!"
The people present looked shocked. The existence of a prodigy is an unknown dream for the Xiao family, and it can even be said to be a legend, the secret of the Xiao family for a hundred years.
A hundred years ago, a clan leader of the family left behind a martial arts work while he was dying. This martial arts work was obtained from a ruined martial arts family in the Qin State of Wanyuan Continent. The name of the martial arts is "Rainbow Fantasy Heavenly Record".
Legend has it that this is a unique and unique skill that can only be practiced by those with talented talents.
When practicing this technique, every time you upgrade, you will experience illusions, chaos, or even demonic realms, which are very easy to get into devils. Moreover, there are still problems of not being able to continue when practicing. If you practice the day before, you may not be able to continue the next day, or even be confused and extremely hurt your mind.
Of course, once this martial art is successful, it is extremely powerful. Since the end of the world, few people have been able to cultivate to a higher level, and no one has even broken through the third level of martial arts. This is only part of the martial arts. "Rainbow Fantasy Heaven" also comes with a set of sword techniques, with only nine styles. This set of sword techniques is said to be no one who has practiced them.
The ancestor of the Xiao family was proficient in the magical methods and inferred a hundred years ago that a family would be born with a superb qualification within a hundred years. On his deathbed, he warned his clan members that geniuses should never practice, otherwise they would cause disaster and the clan would be destroyed and the family would be destroyed.
But that ancestor has passed away for a hundred years, and the Xiao family has never had a top-quality qualification, that is, a child prodigy. Over time, this ancestral teaching has almost been forgotten by the clan members.
After hearing Xiao Wancheng say that the child prodigy appeared, everyone immediately felt hope and excitement. However, when they learned that this child prodigy was Xiao Tianyu, whose meridians were congenital inadequate, the eyes of the clan leader and several elders instantly became depressed.
"The patriarch, the imperial divine doctor Wu from the royal family treated Tianyu last month and gave a prescription. Tianyu improved greatly after taking it. In addition, he also taught a mental method to strengthen muscles and bones. As long as he practiced successfully, Tianyu's disease can be cured. With the reputation and medical skills of Doctor Wu, there should be no falsehood." Xiao Wancheng explained carefully.
"Wancheng, how did you find Tianyu's talented talent?" The patriarch Xiao Zhentian was very curious.
Xiao Wancheng learned Xiao Tianyu's meridian acupoints and kept remembering the things he never forgot when he learned the "Yangxi Sutra" and said in detail.
"Let's go, go to Wancheng's family to see. We will take the qualifications of Tianyu in school on the spot. Wancheng, it's not that he doesn't believe you. It's important, and we must know it." Xiao Wancheng said as he stepped out of the door and walked towards Xiao Wancheng's family with six elders.
Xiao Tianyu, who was lying on the bed, heard the sound of messy footsteps outside, and knew that someone was coming from home, so she sat up and looked out of the house. First, she saw grandpa walking into the yard with the patriarch and several elders, and his father Xiao Wancheng followed behind.
"Xiaoyu, are you in better health?" Xiao Zhentian looked at Xiao Tianyu with a kind face.
"Thank you for your concern to the clan leader, it's much better." Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Oh! If so, that's good." Xiao Zhentian stroked Tianyu's little face.
"Xiaoyu, grandpa has a book here. If you help grandpa memorize it, give you an hour, and you can recite it as much as you can." After Xiao Zhentian finished speaking, he took out a book from his arms, which had about forty pages.
This is a book of alchemy, which records thirty secret recipes for alchemy. Each pill contains at least a dozen medicinal materials, including the number, year, order of the medicinal materials, time of burning, smell, color and function of the elixir. The records are extremely detailed, and it is impossible to memorize such a book without three months.
"Let's go out, Tianyu needs to endorse the letter." After Xiao Zhentian said that, he brought everyone to the yard.
After Xiao Tianyu took the book, he began to look through it. He memorized the alchemy formula one by one. He did not feel that it was difficult to remember it, and he developed a strong interest in the contents in the book.
An hour later, Xiao Zhentian walked into Xiao Tianyu's room with a smile on his face, followed by six elders and Xiao Wancheng.
"Xiaoyu, memorize what you remember for grandpa." Xiao Zhentian stared at Xiao Tianyu with expectant eyes.
"Grandpa, I have not finished memorizing it yet, but I have only memorized twenty-four kinds of pill recipes." Xiao Tianyu looked at Xiao Zhentian timidly.
"Ah! Ah!" An incredible expression permeated everyone's face.
"Xiaoyu, recite everything you remember...." Xiao Zhentian's voice trembled as he spoke.
Xiao Tianyu recited each single prescription with a little childish sound. After memorizing the twenty-four pill recipes, the room was quiet and everyone's breathing was clearly heard. Everyone's heart could no longer be described as shock, but it was probably dizzy. It would be difficult for a normal and wise person to remember two secret recipes of elixirs within one hour. However, Xiao Tianyu remembered the twenty-four secret recipes of elixirs, and it was not bad at all.
Xiao Zhentian's face turned and turned to the people present and said, "No one can spread the matter today. It must be kept confidential. If someone misses the news, the family rules will be severely punished."
"It seems that I must meet the Supreme Elder." Xiao Zhentian looked at the blue sky outside the window and naturally said to himself. After saying that, he didn't look at the others and quickly walked towards the Supreme Elder's retreat and practice place.
