They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

Little Mink leaned back in his chair, looking at the refreshed girl in front of him, clutching her skirt and looking somewhat nervous, and laughed nonchalantly.

"Thank you, thank you for the compliment, young master."

Hearing the little sable's praise, Qinglin felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and happily replied.

"Yes, let's sit down and eat together."

The little sable pulled out a chair and said to Qinglin.

"How can this be done?"

Qinglin was startled and was about to refuse when she saw Qingtan had already come to her side.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Little Qinglin, Little Marten has a rather carefree and unconventional personality. If you're too rigid, he'll be unhappy."

Immediately, Qing Tan's lips parted slightly, like a devil's whisper: "Sister Qing Lin, you don't want your little sable master to be unhappy, do you?"

Qinglin: "!!!"

Will it make Young Master Mink unhappy?

Qinglin shook her head incessantly at the thought of such a thing happening.

No, that's absolutely not allowed!

So, just a second before Xiao Diao could try to persuade her, Qing Lin quickly came to Xiao Diao's side and sat down upright.

The little sable looked at Qingtan with a puzzled expression, wondering what the other party had said to Qinglin.

……

夜晚

Bright moon shines high

Just as everyone had gone back to their rooms to sleep, Xiao Zhan knocked on Ling Yu's door.

The wooden door opened, and Ling Yu, seeing who it was, asked in confusion, "Uncle Xiao? Is there something you need so late?"

"Ling Yu, Uncle Xiao has something I want to give you. Can you come with me?" Xiao Zhan asked Ling Yu.

Ling Yu was taken aback.

Is there something that can't be given during the day, but has to be given at night...? Could it be...?

Suddenly remembering something, Ling Yu nodded, said something to Qing Tan and the others inside the house, and then followed Xiao Zhan.

Before long, Ling Yu arrived at the main house of the Xiao family where Xiao Zhan was staying.

Seeing that no one was around, Xiao Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and then carefully took out a wooden box from under the bed.

Upon seeing the box, Ling Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he began to ponder.

Under Ling Yu's watchful gaze, Xiao Zhan slowly opened the wooden box.

Just as Ling Yu had expected, inside the wooden box was a piece of emerald green jade, which was none other than the Jade of the Ancient Emperor of Natuoshe.

The moment Ling Yu saw the jade, he sensed that it contained a peculiar energy, as bright as the moon in the night, which was exceptionally dazzling in Ling Yu's eyes.

Just as Ling Yu was admiring the ancient jade, Xiao Zhan's voice came from the side.

"This ancient jade has been passed down through generations of the Xiao family patriarchs."

"Ling Yu, I, Xiao Zhan, have no way to repay the great kindness you have shown to Yan'er. After much thought, in the vast Xiao family, only this piece of ancient jade can be considered to have any value."

Please accept this.

After saying that, Xiao Zhan closed the wooden box and handed it to Ling Yu.

Looking at the wooden box in front of him, Ling Yu looked at Xiao Zhan and slowly said, "A high-level Earth-rank cultivation technique, and a matching Earth-rank combat skill."

"what?"

Xiao Zhan hadn't reacted yet.

Then a storage ring was tossed over.

With Ling Yu's current level of cultivation, creating cultivation techniques and combat skills for him would be an easy task.

Looking at the storage ring in his hand, Xiao Zhan scanned it with his consciousness and immediately gasped.

The moment he looked up, Ling Yu's figure had already disappeared into the room.

He gripped the ring tightly in his hand.

The excitement in my heart is beyond words.

The Xiao family has a promising future!

At this moment, Xiao Zhan became even more convinced that handing the ancient jade over to Ling Yu was the absolutely right decision!

"What does Xiao Zhan want with you?"

As soon as Ling Yu returned, he saw Little Fairy Doctor.

She parted her thin lips slightly and asked a question.

"He gave me the heirloom of the Xiao family."

As Ling Yu spoke, he tossed the wooden box in his hand toward Little Fairy Doctor.

The Fairy Doctor reached out her jade-like hand and easily caught the wooden box.

When she opened the wooden box and saw the ancient jade inside, she was slightly taken aback.

Gently picking up the ancient jade with its intricate patterns, he stroked it slightly and tentatively asked, "The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?"

Upon hearing the words "Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade," Qingtan and Aili were also drawn over.

They moved closer to Little Fairy Doctor, one on the left and one on the right, and looked at the seemingly ordinary piece of emerald green jade.

Taking it from Little Fairy Doctor and sensing it briefly, Qingtan muttered, "It doesn't feel anything special."

"After all, it's only one-eighth, and this thing is just a key; its only special feature is that it cannot be destroyed."

"The truly good things are often found behind locks."

"But what I didn't expect was that Xiao Zhan would actually give it to me," Ling Yu said.

He himself found it somewhat strange when he said this.

He obtained the ancient jade that the ancient clans had gone to great lengths to obtain with ease.

It was also because the Xiao family was in such a state of decline that Xiao Yan's rapid growth gave them hope for the Xiao family's resurgence.

Otherwise, Xiao Zhan might not have given him this ancient jade.

"What do you plan to do?" Little Fairy Doctor asked.

"What to do? Of course, we'll take him with us." Ling Yu chuckled, a slight smile playing on his lips.

If one of the eight is missing, the complete ancient jade can never be assembled, and without the ancient jade, the gate to the ancient emperor's cave cannot be opened.

The格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure and dynamics) of the Dou Qi Continent would then be as if it had been paused, stagnating.

"I really want to see Soul Emperor never break through to Dou Di and die in despair," Ling Yu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor and Qingtan exchanged a glance, looked at Ling Yu, and said in unison.

"you are so bad!"

Ling Yu shrugged.

bad?

You haven't seen anything worse yet.

Jie Jie Jie!

Leave

I'm a bit tired after a long day at work, and I didn't write much by the time it was time to finish; I kept dozing off.

I'm going to bed now.

Goodnight everybody.

Chapter 214 Discussion

(The previous text has been revised)

Nothing in the night

The next day

At 7:00 AM, Xiao Yan stretched and yawned as he walked out of the house.

Just as he was about to wash up and go find Gu Xun'er, he saw Lin Dong holding an ancient halberd and doing morning exercises in the courtyard.

He wielded the Heavenly Scale Halberd with great skill and power.

The moves were constantly changing, sometimes upward thrusts, sometimes forward stabs, but without exception, every strike was accompanied by a strong whooshing sound.

The Heavenly Scale Halberd Technique is divided into four styles, from low to high: Fish Scale Halberd, Wrathful Python Halberd, Transforming Dragon Halberd, and Heavenly Dragon Halberd.

The four halberds' moves are wide and powerful, fierce and domineering, and faintly, one can hear the roar of a dragon.

Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned as he watched Lin Dong wield the Heavenly Scale Halberd in the arena.

Indeed, the halberd is the weapon a man should use!

Although the teacher's Xuanzhong Ruler was also good, Xiao Yan undoubtedly preferred the halberd in terms of visual appeal.

When using the halberd technique, Lin Dong did not use his Yuan Power, but relied solely on his physical abilities.

As a result, Lin Dong's body was already soaked in sweat.

A gust of wind can bring a cool feeling.

However, Lin Dong's halberd swings became faster and faster, and the dragon's roar, which had been initially indistinct, became clearer.

This also means that Lin Dong is becoming more and more proficient in this halberd technique.

Not far from Lin Dong, Little Mink was his daily companion.

He crossed his legs, propped his head up with one hand, and casually flipped through the books spread out on the stone table with the other.

Beside him stood a graceful figure in cyan, the girl with her hands folded on her skirt, standing quietly behind the little sable, like a maid.

One man wields a halberd, while another reads a book.

The scene is peaceful and heartwarming.

If some peach blossoms were added at this time, it would be even more picturesque.

"Teacher, do you really not have any other attack techniques besides the Flame Dividing Wave Ruler?"

Seeing the overflowing envy in his disciple's eyes, the old doctor sighed helplessly.

After a moment's thought, the old apothecary spoke up: "I do have a spear technique, but it's only at the advanced level of the Profound rank. Would you like to learn it?"

"study!"

Xiao Yan replied without hesitation.

Looking at Lin Dong wielding his halberd in the courtyard, exuding fierceness and domineering power, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with a longing for the cool and domineering Lin Dong.

At this moment, Lin Dong, who had just finished performing the entire Heavenly Scale Halberd Technique, also stopped.

He exhaled a deep breath, glanced at Xiao Yan not far away, took out a pill refined from a stone talisman, and swallowed it.

The pills melt in the mouth, helping Lin Dong stabilize and strengthen his physique.

"Did Brother Yu teach you this halberd technique as well?"

After clapping his hands to attract Lin Dong's attention, Xiao Yan stepped forward and asked.

"Qingtan taught me this," Lin Dong said.

"Qingtan?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback, and the image of Qing Tan's petite figure appeared in his mind.

He couldn't help but look strange.
