Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 406: The Ancient Clan’s Request, Huge Gains, and Enraged Victims!
Luo Shan hurriedly changed into formal clothes and followed the third elder to the family hall.

On the way, she asked hesitantly, "What should I say next? Welcome them warmly? Give them a cold and sarcastic look?"

The third elder was shocked: "Absolutely not. According to family records, the Gu clan and our Xiao family have been friends for a long time, and they are a very powerful family. We can't be too polite and lose our momentum, nor can we be too cold and offend them."

Luo Shan was sweating on his forehead: "Is the ancient clan very powerful?"

The third elder whispered: "The leader of the other side can fly in the air without external force, at least Dou Zong..."

Luo Shan was shocked. Dou Zong brought people to visit their Xiao family. If it wasn't handled properly, it would be a tragedy to wipe out the entire family!
She hesitated even more. Having no experience in dealing with related issues, the lazy and gluttonous mistress of the Xiao family was a little scared.

She stammered, "Third Elder, please help me later." Her voice almost sounded like tears.

"Of course." The third elder sighed. The clan leader's wife did not have the bearing of a clan leader at all.

After a while, the two came to the outside of the hall, and the voices of the first elder, the second elder and a strange man were heard communicating.

Luo Shan straightened her clothes again, took a deep breath and stepped into the hall.

At a glance, she saw three people sitting in the front row on the left, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary demeanor, and the most eye-catching person, a little girl sitting in the first row on the left. She looked less than three years old, and a person dressed like a maid standing behind the little girl.

This made her wonder why the little girl was sitting in the front? According to etiquette, the person taking the lead should sit in the front.

Could it be that the leader was not a middle-aged man who was at least a Dou Zong, but a young girl?
Seeing Luo Shan coming in, the first and second elders took the initiative to stand up and bowed slightly, saying, "Madam!"

The middle-aged man also stood up and gestured with a smile. In the hall, only the little girl, who knew nothing, was sitting there looking at Luo Shan curiously.

With this situation, Luo Shan's pressure increased dramatically.

She walked to the front step by step, sat on one of the only two main seats in the hall, and said with a stiff smile: "Welcome three friends from the ancient clan. Have you eaten yet? Would you like to have something to eat?"

The middle-aged man from the Ancient Clan said awkwardly: “Ahem, thank you Madam Xiao for your kindness, but we have already eaten, so we won’t eat anymore.”

Luo Shan became even more rigid. She glanced around the hall and her eyes lit up when she saw the teacup: "Well, are you three thirsty? Would you like to drink something?"

Looking at the teacup in his hand, the middle-aged man fell into deep thought. Is this some special metaphor?
The three elders were so embarrassed that their toes were about to dig into the ground, but Luo Shan turned the good atmosphere into silence with just two sentences. She was really capable.

The middle-aged man fell into deep thought and did not refuse. Luo Shan's eyes lit up, thinking that this was a consent.

then--

"Someone, go get a jar of Xuanhuo Niang and a set of wine vessels!"

Xuanhuo Niang? Are you going to drink?
The middle-aged man wanted to refuse. What's the point of drinking alcohol so early in the morning when we were talking about business?
But he glanced at the little girl and found that she seemed quite interested, so he felt relieved.

Since the lady is interested, nothing else matters.

Soon, the Xuanhuo Niang was brought up, and six crystal clear wine glasses were placed in the hands of the people from the ancient clan and the three elders. The bright orange-red Xuanhuo Niang was directly filled by the maids.

"Me too?" The maid behind the little girl looked confused, holding the wine glass in her hand, at a loss.

She was just a maid, how could she be qualified to drink with the masters? After drinking this cup of wine, she would be beaten when she returned to the ancient clan!

So she rolled her eyes and put the wine glass on the small table next to the little girl.

"Miss, this wine is beautiful and worth seeing. It will be even more beautiful if you put two glasses together."

Sure enough, when the two cups of Xuanhuo Niang were placed together, the light, shadow and color complemented each other, just like the sunset.

"Ah, it's really beautiful!" The little girl was also slightly surprised, and began to fiddle with the two glasses of wine, observing the different beautiful scenery created by placing them in different positions, with a slight smile on her face.

The middle-aged man was relieved to see that the lady didn't drink but was having fun.

Even if they are from the ancient clan, children are not allowed to drink alcohol. He was just thinking about how to persuade the young lady, but he didn't expect the maid to react quickly and resolve the crisis immediately, saving him energy.

Luo Shan sat at the top and motioned to the great elder to toast.

Luo Shan doesn't drink alcohol, and her husband is not around, so the first glass of wine can only be brought by the eldest elder.

The Great Elder had no choice but to go ahead with it.

He was a little confused. They were clearly talking about the family's past and looking forward to the future of the continent, so how come it turned into a drinking party as soon as his wife arrived?

The Great Elder was not blind. He would not toast the little girl with wine. The only person who could drink was a middle-aged man, so he could only greet him.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became much more lively.

The middle-aged man started talking about business, holding up his wine glass and saying to Luo Shan: "Thank you Madam Xiao for the wine. I, Gulin, accompanied Miss Xun'er to the Xiao family today because I have something to ask for."

It had been so long, Luo Shan had relaxed, she showed an innocent smile: "Mr. Gulin, please tell me, if it can be done, my Xiao family will not refuse, but I can't make the decision on family affairs, I need to wait for my husband to come back, why don't you tell me what's going on first, Mr. Gulin, I will send someone to urge my husband to come back."

"In that case, thank you, Madam Xiao."

Gu Lin clasped his fists and said, "My Gu and Xiao families are old friends and have a very close relationship, so I will just speak frankly."

He looked at the little girl, Gu Xun'er, and said, "Due to problems within my clan, Miss Xun'er is temporarily unable to stay in the clan, so the head of the family sent me to send Miss Xun'er to the Xiao family, hoping that the Xiao family can take Miss Xun'er in for a period of time. During this period, Miss will change her surname to Xiao."

When these words came out, Luo Shan didn't think anything of it, but the three elders' faces changed slightly, and they asked hurriedly, "Is there any danger?"

If there was no danger, why was he sent out and his surname changed? This is definitely hiding his identity!
Gulin smiled bitterly and explained: "It's not that there is danger, but some reasons that cannot be spoken. Gulin hereby guarantees that taking in the young lady will never bring danger to the Xiao family!"

Seeking your Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade is naturally a reason that cannot be spoken out, Gulin thought to himself.

The three elders misunderstood everything. After looking at each other, they all believed that Xun'er was the illegitimate daughter of the Gu clan leader who was born by mistake, and was hidden in the Xiao family, a family of old friends, because he was afraid that his wife would find out.

Thinking of this, they felt relieved and excited at the same time.

This can be done. Not only can you earn a favor from the Gu clan for free, but you can also get free bodyguards for the Xiao family.

The Gu clan is so powerful that they will definitely not let Gu Xun'er live alone in the Xiao family. They must arrange some protection for her.

Judging from what they knew about the ancient clan's strength from the records, even if they didn't send out a Dou Zong to protect them, a Dou Huang would not be able to escape.

As long as Gu Xun'er stays in the Xiao family, can the protective force behind her sit idly by and watch anything happen to the Xiao family?
They looked at each other and thought this was a huge profit!
Of course, whether or not to take Gu Xun'er in still depends on the clan leader's return to make the decision.

Liu Mang now has absolute control over the Xiao family. If he doesn't agree, he won't be able to keep them no matter how much money they make!

So, Gu Xun'er and the other two stayed at the Xiao family.

After all, children love to play, and Luo Shan knows how to eat and play, so she quickly got along well with Gu Xun'er.

Then she took the opportunity to suggest taking Gu Xun'er and the children out to play. In order to let Miss Gu Xun'er have fun, the three elders equipped Luo Shan with a complete play team, and Xiaomei, whom Luo Shan had been thinking about, was also in it.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, Luo Shan still went ahead with her plan to eat all over Wutan City.

A month later, when Luo Shan brought her team back to the Xiao family again, she looked up and saw the broad figure of her husband, and her face froze.

Liu Mang, who had landed, also spotted Luo Shan and her group. Looking at Luo Shan, who was obviously having a lot of fun, and the child that Xiao Mei was bringing, his face darkened.

"Luo Shan! What did I tell you before I left?!" Liu Mang approached with a dark face.

Luo Shan's pupils trembled and her eyes darted around, then she made up her mind and picked up Gu Xun'er and held her in front of her to block Liu Mang's sight.

"Look what this is, sir!"

Luo Shan's words made Gu Xun'er, Liu Mang and Gu Lin who was hiding in the dark all look pale. Don't you have any manners in your words?

Fortunately, the three of them knew Luo Shan's character, and even Gu Xun'er herself did not intend to blame her.

She looked curiously at this Uncle Xiao who Luo Shan always talked about. He was indeed majestic and powerful, and he was so powerful that he could swallow the world! Well, he felt like a father, which was a bit scary.
This is Gu Xun'er's impression.

In Gulin's eyes, the head of the Xiao family, who had absolute power in Wutan City, was extremely terrifying.

I thought the declining Xiao clan only had two or three cats, big and small, but I didn’t expect that there was also a hidden Tyrannosaurus Rex, Xiao Zhan!

He was only at the level of Dou Huang, but the aura hidden in his body that could burn the sky and boil the sea and pour out over thousands of miles shocked even Gulin, a Dou Zun.

Gulin understood that in terms of spirit and soul, he was far inferior to the head of the Xiao family.

"It's worthy of being the Xiao clan. Even though it has declined, the clan leader is still a great man of the time. I am far inferior to them." Gulin sighed secretly.

Liu Mang could tell the difference of Gu Xun'er at a glance. The golden flame in her body that was burning the sky and was the only one of its kind was undoubtedly the Golden Emperor Burning Sky Flame, which ranked fourth on the Strange Fire List. So in connection with the original work, this was obviously Xun'er.

Looking at the other party's childish appearance, Liu Mang was a little confused. It seemed that he had come too early.

In the original novel, Xun'er came when Xiao Yan was about four years old, but now Xiao Yan is only three years old, which is about a whole year earlier.

"Is it me who brought about the change?" Liu Mang wondered.

There is no doubt that the difference between him from the Great Fighter in the original work to the current Fighting Emperor is huge.

If the ancient clan had paid attention to the Xiao family earlier, they would definitely have realized his extraordinaryness.

"Are you thinking that I might be able to unlock the secret of the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, so you're starting early. Or are you thinking that you're optimistic about my future and are making alternative investments in advance?" Liu Mang shook his head. There wasn't enough information to speculate.

However, since Gu Xun'er has come to the Xiao family, she should stay in the Xiao family from now on. Since you, Gu Yuan, only care about her birth but not her upbringing, don't blame me for raising her into a real member of the Xiao family! Liu Mang smiled secretly.

That night, Liu Mang formally met with the three people from the Gu clan. He discovered that even the maid standing behind Gu Xun'er had the cultivation level of Dou Zong.

As expected of an ancient imperial family, this configuration is too high-end. I don’t know when the Xiao family will be able to use it. Liu Mang is really envious.

The next day, Gulin and the maid set out to return to the Gu clan to report, while Xun'er stayed in the Xiao family and changed her name to Xiao Xun'er. She was the daughter of his brother who had died several years ago and had wandered away. Now that she had returned to her ancestral home, Wu Tan celebrated.

Such a high-level welcome ceremony really moved Xun'er. She had never seen millions of people cheering for her arrival alone. She was more affectionate when she called Liu Mang Uncle.

Three days later, Wutan City returned to peace. Apart from knowing that the Xiao family had a fourth young lady, there were no other changes.

In the hall, Liu Mang was arranging for the second elder to build a cold storage in the family to store the monster meat he hunted.

This time he went to the Monster Mountain Range and had a huge harvest. The original warehouse could not even hold all the monster meat he hunted.

He had an extra ring on his hand compared to before he set out. He had made it in the Warcraft Mountains because the original ring couldn't hold so many things.

Since high-level monsters do not live in groups, Liu Mang does not consider the issue of their cultivation. He releases the aura of the Dou Huang to drive away the weak and large low-level monsters. As for the remaining high-level monsters, even if they are level 9 monsters, they will become his food in a one-on-one fight.

He roamed the Monster Mountain Range just like that, and four level 7 monsters died at his hands. The level 6 monster Purple-Gold Winged Lion King, which played a very important role in the original work, was also accidentally killed by him.

The high-level monsters' nests contained a large number of treasures and trophies they had collected. Four level-4 monsters and nine level-7 monsters not only gave him their entire bodies, but also their savings of thousands of years selflessly. Liu Mang made a fortune instantly.

Because there were too many things, especially the monster corpses that took up a lot of space, the storage ring of more than 1 cubic meters that he had just refined not long ago could not hold them all.

Fortunately, there was a piece of top-quality Nashi among the spoils, and there was even a Naling inside.

Liu Mang refined the Na Ling into the Na Stone, greatly increasing the spatial power contained in it.

He then used his superb spatial skills to open up space in the stone and obtained a mustard seed space of tens of millions cubic meters.

After practicing the storage ring, it will naturally be a top-grade storage ring of tens of millions cubic meters.

With this ring, Liu Mang was able to bring back his spoils intact.

However, it is not a good idea to keep things in your ring all the time. It is meaningful to send them out and use them. It is impossible to go back to him to get them every time you need them. It is necessary to build a large-scale frozen storage.

He had decomposed all the materials of the monster. Except for the cut and processed monster meat, which he planned to give to the Xiao family as a cultivation resource, and the cultivation-related elixirs he would refine later, he kept everything else for himself.

Now he has to support a wife and four children, which is very stressful. He can't give all his things to the clan.

During this outing he also got several pill recipes, including the second-grade elixirs Bingqing Dan and Shenggu Dan, the third-grade elixirs Huiqi Dan and Qingling Dan, the fourth-grade elixirs Juqi San and Zixin Pozhan Dan, and the fifth-grade elixir Fuyuan Dan.

Among the seven kinds of elixirs, the second-grade Bingqing Pill, Shenggu Pill, and the fifth-grade Fuyuan Pill are all used for healing. The third-grade Huiqi Pill, as the name suggests, is for restoring fighting spirit. Only the third-grade Qingling Pill, the fourth-grade elixirs Juqi Powder and Zixin Pozhan Pill have the function of improving cultivation.

Among them, the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill can improve the Grand Fighting Master's cultivation by one star, and there will not be too much resistance. Generally speaking, a Grand Fighting Master can improve his cultivation by two stars by taking two pills, unlike many other similar pills where the second pill is weak or even ineffective.

Moreover, if a third-grade Qingling Pill can be refined by gathering three kinds of flames and increasing the age of the materials to make a three-patterned Qingling Pill, it will be a fourth-grade pill. Taking it can improve the cultivation level of a great fighting master to three stars, but there is a risk of backlash.

The third-grade Qingling Pill can only improve a fighter's cultivation by 1 star.

There is also a fourth-grade elixir called Qi Gathering Powder. This elixir can complete the process of transforming the fighting qi into a fighter by condensing the cyclone in one step, without wasting time through multiple attempts. Its value lies in that it can save a lot of time in training disciples to fighters.

The sooner you break through to become a fighter, the greater the advantages you will have in subsequent breakthroughs. This is why elixirs such as Juqi San used by fighters with fighting spirit can be compared to the ammunition used by great fighters. This is an investment in the future.

Liu Mang recalled that there were several young men in his family who were about seventeen or eighteen years old and were waiting to break through to become a fighter, so he decided to refine some Qi Gathering Powder first.

To break through, a fighter needs to condense the fighting energy, but the failure rate of condensing the fighting energy is quite high.

After failure, the ninth level of fighting spirit will be reduced to the eighth level. Some people who are unlucky may need to condense it more than ten times before they can succeed.

Such repeated concentration may waste several years of precious time, causing people to lose the best period of time for cultivation and causing great damage to their future.

This won't do. Although the Xiao family's disciples have average talents, since he is the patriarch, he will never allow them to lose at the starting line!
Liu Mang took out a medicine cauldron that he had obtained as a trophy in the Monster Mountain Range. The cauldron was shining with golden and green light, and had complex wheel-shaped cloud patterns engraved on it. Even if it was not activated, it exuded a fresh and natural aura.

Liu Mang checked the Tianding Ranking and found that this was actually the Qingjing Ding, which was ranked tenth on the list. He immediately felt like he had found a treasure.

Liu Mang discovered that his luck in Fighting World was quite good, and he could even pick up treasures when he killed a monster.

Of course the best tripod to use is the Hao Ding. The previous seven large tripods were eliminated after being used only a few times.

The Pure Cauldron is a rare treasure that can be large or small. Whether you need to refine a single one or in batches, the Pure Cauldron can meet your needs.

In addition, this cauldron can enhance the effect of elixirs and reduce elixir poison, and elixir resistance is a side effect extended from elixir poison.

This is a very good effect. It allows Liu Mang to use elixirs to boost the cultivation of those in his family whose potential has been exhausted.

Soon, he took out the materials and began to refine the Qi Gathering Powder. The Qi Gathering Powder was a fourth-grade elixir, and the main ingredients were all fourth-grade.

The harvest of medicinal herbs from the Warcraft Mountains this time was equally huge. After all, no one had conducted a carpet search in the Warcraft Mountains like he did in tens of thousands of years.

At the same time, deep in the Warcraft Mountains, a white-haired old man in a green robe cut through space, his eyes looking down at the mountain peak that had been burned into a glazed state, with blood and fallen feathers on it, exuding the aura of a seventh-level Warcraft.

He was stunned for a moment, confirmed that he had not run to the wrong place, and immediately became furious.

"Asshole! Who dares to kill my pet and rob my cave!!!"

As the voice fell, the entire sky darkened, and boundless power swept over an area of ​​dozens of miles. The entire mountain was uprooted by the old man and thrown out, flying hundreds of kilometers before crashing into another high mountain.

The two mountains collided and suddenly exploded. The shock wave shattered the clouds and lifted the ground. Countless monsters died in this furious throw.

Tens of thousands of miles away, several seventh-level monsters that were extremely far apart suddenly looked up at the same time in the direction of the green-robed old man, and said in shock: "It's that old immortal Wind and Fire Venerable! Almost a thousand years have passed, and he is still alive!"

A giant winged, scaly tiger quickly dived into the ground, fearing that it would be seen by the Venerable Fenghuo.

At the same time, he was gloating: "The human who dared to attack the Jade Green Teng Python has hit a wall now! You have plundered all the natural treasures in our territory, but in the end you still made wedding clothes for the immortal and even lost your life!"

While he was thinking, Venerable Fenghuo had already disappeared into the sky like a stream of light, heading straight towards Wutan City.
