Later, when he accidentally picked up an empty mahogany brocade box on the ground of Dan Pavilion. Seeing that the earth dog had disappeared without a trace, I realized that it was broken.
How could this brocade box fall to the ground for no reason? Moreover, the pills in the brocade box also disappeared.
Immediately, the fifth elder opened a brocade box that was placed in the exquisite pavilion closest to him, and was stunned. Because, the brocade box is empty, there is nothing.
Then, the Fifth Elder opened the second brocade box, and then the third brocade box...
Without exception, all the pills in the brocade boxes disappeared without a trace, and there were not even a single one left in more than two hundred brocade boxes.
The fifth elder stood there in a daze for a while, then howled, and hurriedly found the patriarch to report the matter. The patriarch was also shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly came to the Pill Pavilion to check in person. Sure enough, as the fifth elder said, all the pills in the brocade boxes disappeared.
Since the five elders guarded the Jing Pavilion, only the earth dog has been to the Pill Pavilion, and now all the pills are missing. Obviously, the elixirs were all eaten by the local dogs.
The patriarch called several family elders and began to discuss how to deal with this matter.
"Patriarch, Fifth Elder, don't worry, these pills were eaten by the earth dog, and the earth dog was brought back by Xia Yan. Even if Xia Yan wants to blame him, he must first blame his dog." The elder said road.
"Who would have thought that a dog would steal pills?!" The Great Elder stroked his beard.
"Patriarch, elders, in fact, with Xia Yan's personality, he knows that the elixir will be eaten by the local dogs, so he will definitely not say anything." Xia Changhe knows Xia Yan best.
"However, the pill reward plan has been formulated and released. Recently, some children of the family have been practicing very diligently. I am worried that some family children will soon meet the criteria for rewarding pills. At that time, we will not be able to produce the corresponding pills. Rewarding the children will have an impact on the enthusiasm of the children of the family to cultivate." Third Elder Xia Changhe said rather worriedly.
"Yes, that's exactly the case. It is imperative to solve this problem." Patriarch Xia Feilong nodded.
"However, the family's business is expanding rapidly, and there are too many places to spend money. In the family, there is no extra money to buy pills to fill this hole." Xia Feilong shook his head.
"Patriarch, didn't Xia Yan leave five million gold coins in the family?!" Xia Changhe asked.
"Xia Yan did leave five million gold coins for the family, and now there are about four million left, but the money can only be used to expand the family's power. It must not be used to buy pills now. To buy pills, you must After the family business starts to make a profit in the future." Xia Feilong said firmly.
Several other elders also nodded.
"Patriarch, I have saved more than 10,000 gold coins over the years, let's take them out for emergencies first!" The fifth elder said with a sigh.
More than 10,000 gold coins are enough to buy more than a dozen ordinary first-grade pills. However, this is also a drop in the bucket and cannot completely solve the problem. At that time, Xia Yan left more than two hundred pills in Xia's family.
"I also have a few thousand gold coins!" Third Elder Xia Changhe said.
"I probably have..."
Several elders wanted to take out their savings for many years.
"Okay, let's not talk about this now. Let's talk about it when Xia Yan comes back. By the way, have you found that Xia Yan's dog?!" Xia Feilong asked the Fifth Elder.
"The earth dog has always been in Xia Yan's small courtyard, with Xiaoqing." The fifth elder said in succession.
"Since the elixir has been eaten, it is useless to find the earth dog. When Xia Yan comes back, we will see what to do with this matter. The earth dog is not ordinary, we should not provoke it." Xia Changhe solemnly stood aside Said.
"En!" Xia Feilong nodded.
…
"Xia Yan, there is one more thing I want to ask you!"
After entering Yushui City, Xia Yan and Huo Fenghuang walked on the street. Xia Yan originally wanted to hurry back to Xia's house. But Huo Fenghuang insisted on walking slowly.
In the end, Xia Yan had no choice but to walk slowly with Huo Fenghuang. Fortunately, even if he walked slowly, it would not take long to reach Xia's house. Enter the city from the south gate of Yushui City. The southern area was originally occupied by the Xi family, but now the Fangshi industry in the southern area, as well as nearby businesses, have mostly been acquired by the Xia family.
Those who run the market are all replaced by the Xia family. Some of the small families and forces that were affiliated with the Xi family in the past were included under the banner of the Xia family, and some were expelled from Yushui City by the Xia family.
"What's the matter?!" Xia Yan asked back.
"In the Sin Forest, the Holy Emperor once said that you are already a cultivator of Tiangong, why didn't you tell me?!" Huo Fenghuang said, looking at Xia Yan with beautiful eyes.
Xia Yan said directly, "The identity of Tiangong practitioners cannot be revealed to outsiders at will."
"After the new couple's three-month vacation is over, I will enter the Heavenly Palace. At that time, you can't go down the mountain at will. If you want to go down the mountain, you need to get the approval of the inspector." Xia Yan said.
As the daughter of the president of the Zhou Yun Company, Huo Fenghuang also has some understanding of Tiangong. Of course, not much is known.
"So it's like this! I really want to go to Tiangong to see how you cultivate..." Huo Fenghuang said with some longing.
"Actually, it's nothing!" Seeing Huo Fenghuang like this, Xia Yan thought to himself, "Anyway, when we were in the Sin Forest, the Holy Emperor himself mentioned Tiangong in front of Huofenghuang, so if I tell Huofenghuang about Tiangong, it should be nothing. Big problem."
"In Tiangong, there are many devil formations. Tiangong practitioners can usually train in devil formations. In addition to devil formations, Tiangong also has a Yuhuachi. Every Tiangong practitioner can have a chance to enter Yuhuachi and pass through Yuhuachi. Baptism. It is said that the strength of practitioners who have been baptized by Yuhuachi can be greatly improved."
"The most mysterious and powerful thing in the Heavenly Palace is not the Devil Formation and the Yuhua Pond, but the cultivation tower in the center!" Xia Yan was also a little excited when he mentioned the cultivation tower.
"What is the cultivation tower?!" Fire Phoenix asked curiously.
"I have never entered the training tower, but I heard from the practitioners that the training tower is very high. Except for the Holy Emperor, no one knows how many floors the training tower has. The spiritual power of the first floor of the training tower comes from outsiders. Ten times. The second layer is twenty times, and the third layer is thirty times... "
Xia Yan said with bright eyes.
The higher the level, the higher the concentration of spiritual power, and of course the higher the requirements for the practitioner. It's not that it's better to practice at a higher level, and if you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to go to a higher level at all.
"God!" Huo Fenghuang was surprised.
"Doesn't that mean that even if you practice on the first floor of the cultivation tower, the speed of cultivation will be ten times faster than that of ordinary people?!" Huo Fenghuang said enviously with his eyes wide open.
"Ten times the speed may not be, but there are six or seven times, seven or eight times the speed." Xia Yan smiled and nodded.
"No wonder, no wonder so many practitioners yearn to enter the Heavenly Palace to cultivate!" Huo Fenghuang was stunned, "If I knew that the Tiangong is so good, I would also find a way to enter the Tiangong."
"Now you still have a chance!" Xia Yan laughed. "Tiangong practitioners will be assessed once every three years. Non-academic practitioners under the age of 40, theoretically, have the opportunity to obtain a quota for the assessment."
"Really? The quota for the assessment is determined by the Holy Emperor?!" Huo Fenghuang hurriedly asked.
"No, for non-academic practitioners, Xunzhang Zhang and Xunzhan Jian set the quota for the assessment. However, this quota is also very difficult to obtain. In the entire continent, every three years, less than ten people can get the opportunity for the assessment." Xia Yan be honest.
"Hey, I will try!" Huo Fenghuang's eyes flickered, "Enter Tiangong. Then I can practice with you in Tiangong. Sigh, although I can't be free..."
Huo Fenghuang actually likes that kind of unfettered life, otherwise, in her capacity, why would she do those mercenary missions all year round
"Miss… "
At this time, several figures appeared near the two of them, and the leader shouted.
Xia Yan took a look at this person. He was dressed as a guard and looked about forty years old. He had the strength of a great spiritual master in the later stage, and his face was upright. The other people who followed him were also in the realm of spiritual masters.
"Miss, where have you been these few days? We can't find you anywhere!" The head guard asked respectfully, but it was obvious that he was very anxious.
His responsibility was to secretly protect Huo Fenghuang, but a few days ago, he lost him. Huo Fenghuang doesn't like others to follow, they can only follow secretly.
But a few days ago, they suddenly lost sight of the fire phoenix.
"Hmph, do I need to report to you where I am going?!" Huo Fenghuang snorted coldly and said very bluntly.
Xia Yan secretly smiled in his heart.
No wonder Fire Phoenix hardly appeared in Yushui City a few days ago, it turned out to be trying to get rid of these tails. Letting someone send a message to him from Niu Snake Town is naturally to avoid these tails.
Shaking his head slightly, Xia Yan said to Huo Fenghuang, "Then we'll separate here, and I'll go back to Xia's house. If there's a chance in the future, someone can send me a message."
"Who are you?!" The guard looked at Xia Yan warily.
He didn't recognize Xia Yan, nor did he know Xia Yan's identity. Seeing that Xia Yan and Huo Fenghuang seemed to be very close, out of his own duty, he immediately looked at Xia Yan with some guard.
"My name is Xia Yan, your young lady, you are with me these few days." Xia Yan smiled at the leading guard and said.
This guard. He looked at Xia Yan for a while, then turned his head and said nothing for the last time.
"Xia Yan, then..." Huo Fenghuang pondered for a while, "Forget it, I will look for you in the future. Now, I'm leaving!"
With that said, Huo Fenghuang turned around and left quickly along the street. And those guards quickly followed.
Xia Yan watched Huo Fenghuang leave, then turned around and quickened his pace towards Xia's house.
"Go back to Xia's house first, and then go to the church!" Xia Yan made a quick decision in his mind.
In front of the gate of Xia's house, several guards with weapons stood upright.
Suddenly, a figure approached the gate of the courtyard, and the guards immediately turned their attention to it.
"It's Hall Master!" These guards all knew Xia Yan's identity.
"I've seen the hall master!" The guard saluted respectfully and greeted him.
"Well, you have worked hard!" Xia Yan nodded, looked at the few people and asked casually, "Is the patriarch in the family now? Has nothing happened to the family in the past few days?!"
