Chapter 244 Third-Tier White Tiger! Who the hell did I offend?! (Last Day of Double Tickets, Please Vote!)

Dongxi.

Bihan Pool.

Ye Fan arrived at the Xu family and secluded himself for half a month, breaking through to the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

A few days later, he took advantage of the momentum to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even with a heavenly spiritual root, at a normal cultivation speed, the probability of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of fourteen is extremely small.

After all, large families naturally place great importance on the foundation when cultivating their disciples.

The more talented someone is, the more they need to do this in order to fully realize their potential.

But Ye Fan's good fortune was due to a series of coincidences.

He should have been a favored child of heaven, showered with love and affection, but unexpectedly, he fell into the mud and became a crawling insect to be trampled on by everyone.

The disdain and ridicule from others were all transformed into nourishment for him to hone himself.

Although he is still young, his willpower far surpasses that of most cultivators.

His unwavering conviction and deep-seated desires ultimately forged his steadfast and resolute heart towards the Dao.

Xu Chuan looked at the quiet room where he was in seclusion and smiled faintly, "Good disciple, Foundation Establishment is just the beginning for you. I hope that in the future you will also be able to control the world with one hand!"

Immediately, he said to Xu Mingxian beside him, "Let's begin replacing the clan's great formation."

"Yes, father."

"However, Guangling is ultimately just a spiritual energy node, not a true spiritual vein, so even if a third-order grand formation is set up, it cannot be easily activated."

Otherwise, over time, it could deplete the spiritual energy node, causing devastating damage.

"Then let's stick with the top-tier second-order formation. Before the great calamity comes, the branch will eventually return to the main branch."

"Understood." Xu Mingxian nodded slightly.

at the same time.

"Qinghai Forest", Yunjin Mountain Range.

Amidst the verdant peaks, countless points of gold are embedded; the mountain rocks exude a refined spirit, and the wind rustling through the treetops always carries a sharp sound.

The mountain range contains a second-tier metal-type spiritual vein, making the metal energy abundant and suitable for metal-type demonic beasts to cultivate.

The Xu family's White Tiger went into seclusion here to cultivate.

On a cliff in the mountain range, a white tiger crouched on a red gold rock. Its three-zhang-long body was covered with frosty fur, with faint golden patterns flowing around it, and a faint "king" character on its forehead throbbed.

At first, the golden energy around the cliff rippled slightly, like tiny scales swimming around. Then the wind stopped and the forest became still, and the golden essence from all directions flowed towards the tiger's body like milk returning to its source.

The tiger's body trembled slightly, its fur stood on end, and its blood boiled as it tried to break free of its restraints. A low roar shook the rocks, sending them flying.

Suddenly, a sharp metallic aura erupted from his body, soaring into the sky. At first, it resembled a silver spear, but in an instant, it grew to several feet thick, turning pure gold, and pierced straight into the azure sky, tearing the flowing clouds and leaving white marks on the blue sky.

Wherever the column of air reached, the ancient pine needles fell into gold dust, the rocks peeled away to reveal lustrous golden veins, and the streams below the mountain were frozen by the coldness of the golden air, their ice surfaces gleaming with a metallic sheen.

In the distance, the red gold veins hummed, as if in response.

As the column of air dissipated, the white tiger landed back on the rock, its frosty fur now covered in crimson gold, the "king" markings gleaming, and golden light shooting from its eyes as it opened and closed.

The White Tiger roared to the sky again, its voice like the grand sound of a golden bell, spreading with the pressure of the third rank and the pressure of the Four Spirits White Tiger.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, all the monsters trembled in fear.

The red fox abandoned its food and fled to its nest, the black-maned bear darted into the dense forest in fright, and the flock of golden-winged sparrows fell to the ground and fluttered about. Even the second-tier iron-backed demon wolf lay on the ground whimpering and dared not raise its head.

This breakthrough aura naturally attracted the attention of Mo Yue, the three-tailed white fox, and the Tree King.

"That stupid cat has finally broken through!"

Mo Yue emerged from Mirror Lake, its eyes gleaming with excitement. It raised its head and let out a thunderous dragon roar. With a flick of its tail, it soared into the sky and headed straight for the Yunjin Mountains.

The three-tailed white fox and the tree spirit's clone also transformed into two streaks of light, one white and one green, and headed off.

Xu Mingshu was also near the Yunjin Mountains. As the master of the White Tiger, she could naturally sense the changes in the White Tiger through the spirit beast restriction.

He immediately connected with Bai through his mind and said, "Xiao Bai, you have finally broken through."

"I'm coming to find you right now."

"Master, wait, other third-tier demonic beasts are coming. They should be the three-tailed white fox and the ancient locust tree king that Boss Mo Yue mentioned. I'll come find you after they leave."

"also."

Just a moment.

Mo Yue, the three-tailed white fox, and the tree spirit's clone all stood in front of the cliff.

The three-tailed white fox felt some pressure from Xu Bai, much stronger than that from the Sky-Splitting Tiger back then.

"This tiger also has the bloodline of the White Tiger of the Four Spirits, and is even stronger than the Sky-Splitting Tiger from back then. Its potential is extraordinary."

“Boss Mo Yue.” Xu Bai looked at Mo Yue and said.

The three-tailed white fox was slightly startled and immediately turned around to look. "Brother Mo Yue, is he your little brother?"

“That’s right. He’s been following me for a long time. I brought him here from the Ten Thousand Mountains so that he could cultivate with the help of the spiritual veins here. In the end, he has not disappointed me.”

The tree-man clone smiled faintly, seeing through the illusion but saying nothing.

“Little White Fox, I plan to have my little brother stationed in the Yunjin Mountains. How about giving me your territory?” Mo Yue said with a smile.

A hint of wariness flashed in the three-tailed white fox's eyes. "Brother Mo Yue, didn't we agree that if you helped me reach the peak of the mid-stage of the third rank, I would leave and give up this place?"

"Tree King, you are my witness."

The tree-man clone stroked his beard and said, "No problem."

The Xu family was willing to pay any price to control the "Qinghai Forest".

Xu Chuan had long ago instructed the collection of peak second-tier water-type demon beasts, intending to refine twelve water-type demon spirit pills, and then use the Five Elements Reverse Pill Technique to upgrade one third-tier water-type demon core.

Refining all of it should be enough to elevate the three-tailed white fox to the peak of the mid-stage of the third rank.

Mo Yue said, "However, the price is not small, and I have a condition."

"What are the conditions?"

"You must first report that you are inferior to me and relinquish your post to guard this place."

Of course, you can still cultivate here until you reach the peak of the mid-stage of the third tier.

"This"

"Little White Fox, you won't lose out on this deal. With your talent, it would probably take you decades or even hundreds of years of arduous cultivation to reach the peak of the mid-stage of the third rank in a short period of time."

They might not even be able to do it.

Otherwise, our demon race wouldn't have so many demon beasts stuck in the early or middle stages of the third tier.

"If one could truly reach the late stage of the third tier, or even the peak of the third tier, through arduous cultivation, then given the lifespan of our demon race, probably every demon beast that has entered the third tier could achieve it."

The three-tailed white fox fell into deep thought.

Mo Yue's strength made her extremely wary, and now there was another white tiger demon beast with the bloodline of the Four Spirits White Tiger. If they insisted on taking it by force...

She had no choice but to give it up, otherwise she would be killed like the Sky-Splitting Tiger.

As for the ancient locust tree king, it never interferes in such disputes, remaining aloof from the situation.

"Okay, I agree."

The tree-man clone said, "Then Mo Yue and White Fox, you two come with me to the Holy Mountain to report. We need you to explain the reason."

"Row."

After they left, Xu Bai went to find Xu Mingshu, and then returned to Dongxi with the rest of the Xu family.

Bihan Pool.

Everyone gathered.

"Father, Xiaobai has broken through to the third rank."

Xu Mingshu hugged Xu Bai's neck, and Xu Bai's body changed to a size that was just right for her to hug.

Xu Chuan nodded slightly and said with a faint smile, "Xu Bai, you will be in charge of guarding the Yunjin Mountain Range."

"Yes, Great Elder."

"Mingwei, Mingshu, we have the materials for three second-tier peak water-type demon beasts to refine twelve water-type demon spirit pills, but we are still missing the wood and earth elements for the five five-element demon pills to perform the Five Elements Reverse Pill Technique."

"You two go to the 'Ten Thousand Mountains' and find him quickly."

"Yes, father."

With a third-tier demon beast present, obtaining a peak second-tier demon core is naturally not difficult.

After four or five days, the white tiger carried the two of them back.

They also brought back a peak second-tier lightning-type demon beast, which could be refined into a lightning-type demon spirit pill and fed to Xu Ying along with a fire-type demon spirit pill.

Relying solely on his own cultivation, Xu Ying is currently only at the late stage of the second tier, comparable to the peak of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

Reaching the peak of the second tier is not so easy.

Xu Bai has succeeded in his third-tier path, and the Xu family has the ability to replicate it, so naturally they need to make plans for him.

After all, among all the demon beasts in the Xu family, only Xu Ying and Xu Hei have the potential to break through to the third rank.

The other spirit pets of Xu Ming, Xu Mingyuan, and Xu Mingxuan, including the Blood-Eyed Spider and the silkworm-like demon beasts, do not have the potential to reach the third tier.

A third-tier potential demon beast is equivalent to a golden core seed among human cultivators, so it is naturally not so easy for it to be born.

Xu Hei and Mo Yue are both water-based, and their potential is currently somewhat inferior to Xu Ying's.

Furthermore, considering the degree of kinship, Xu Ying was more loyal to the Xu family.

Even without the contract with Xu Mingshu, Xu Chuan believed that Xu Ying would choose to protect the Xu family.

After all, he has been in the Xu family since birth, and his transformation from the beginning of his cultivation to his current state, with the potential to become a third-tier demon beast, is all thanks to the Xu family.

He shed blood for the Xu family!

He has rendered meritorious service to the Xu family!
His brother died for the Xu family!

Monsters also possess intelligence and emotions, and whether it is hatred or loyalty, they are more enduring.

Xu Bai is the same.

If someone only has the potential of a third-tier cultivator but is essentially an ingrate, the Xu family will not help them.

He's more like the protagonist of the monster world.

Born as a mortal beast, he awakened his intelligence and became a demon. His talent was mediocre, but he accumulated resources to reach the late stage of the first tier. In one day, he underwent a transformation, activating the bloodline of the Four Spirits White Tiger and gaining the potential of the third tier.

By sheer coincidence, he received special training from the Xu family and became a third-tier demon beast.

a few days later.

Xu Chuan and Xu Bai head to "Qinghai Forest".

At this time, Mo Yue and his group had already returned. Sheng Shan and his group acknowledged Mo Yue's position of guard, and the Yunjin Mountain Range also belonged to Xu Bai.

Xu Chuan was refining elixirs in the Yunjin Mountains.

Twenty second-tier water-type demon spirit pills were refined, making a total of twelve high-grade pills.

Then he used the Five Elements Reverse Pill Technique to upgrade a third-tier demon core.

Mo Yue led them to Mirror Lake to find the three-tailed white fox.

"Little White Fox, I've brought what you asked for."

A white shadow flashed by, and a three-tailed white fox appeared on the shore of Mirror Lake.

"So fast?" she said, slightly surprised. "Let me see what kind of precious pill it is."

Mo Yue grinned and said lightly, "No rush, White Fox Sister. You must swear by your bloodline that you will not reveal this information. Otherwise, if the information is leaked, won't everyone come looking for me?"

I won't be able to handle it!

It could even bring me death!

The three-tailed white fox pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll swear it."

The power of demonic beasts is inherited from their bloodline. If a demonic beast swears an oath by its own bloodline, it is unlikely to disobey. Otherwise, the bloodline will backfire, and it may degenerate into a mortal beast.

Upon seeing the three-tailed white fox swear an oath, Mo Yue first offered a third-tier water-type demon core.

The three-tailed white fox's eyes widened in surprise. "Brother Mo Yue, you killed a third-tier water-type demon beast?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Just swallow it now and refine it immediately."

The three-tailed white fox nodded solemnly, then immediately swallowed the substance and began to refine it.

Her aura surged rapidly.

However, she ultimately only enhanced herself rather than recovered like Mo Yue, so converting it into her own power wouldn't be as quick.

A few hours later.

The three-tailed white fox suddenly noticed that the power of the remaining demon cores had decreased sharply, which greatly surprised her.

"How is this going?"

"It's just a little trick. After refining this demon core, you'll be roughly equivalent to the sixth level of the Golden Core stage, and then there are these pills."

Mo Yue gave him twelve top-grade demon spirit pills.

"This pill is extraordinary!"

The three-tailed white fox could feel the allure of the pill, far surpassing any pill it had previously consumed.

“Three pills at a time, refined together, should be enough to get you to the peak of the mid-stage of the third rank. If that’s not enough, then White Fox Sister can cultivate on her own for a few more years, and that will definitely be enough.”

The three-tailed white fox looked at the pill, considered it for a moment, and then nodded: "It feels about right."

"Little White Fox, our deal ends here. I wish you a speedy breakthrough to the late stage of the third tier!"

"Brother Mo Yue is the same; I imagine you'll be even faster than me."

Mo Yue grinned, but didn't say much.

"gone."

Mo Yue immediately drifted away into the void.

The three-tailed white fox glanced at it, then gently swayed its three snow-white tails and turned back to its den.

Back in the Yunjin Mountains, Mo Yue's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit as he said, "Next, it's time to kill that old snake in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes."

Xu Chuan smiled slightly and said, "Go back to Dongxi and get some men to go and challenge him one-on-one."

"Single challenge?"

"Yeah, let's take him on one-on-one. After all, he's a mid-stage third-tier demon beast, we have to give him some face."

"Xu Chuan, you are truly cunning, but I like it."

The group that besieged the Old Serpent of Ten Thousand Serpent Valley consisted of Xu Bai, Mo Yue, Xu Ying, Xu Chonghui, Xu Mingyuan, Xu Chuan, Xu Mingshu, Xu Mingwei, and Xu Mingxian.

The main attackers were Mo Yue and Xu Bai, followed by Xu Chonghui and Xu Mingyuan's Golden Core trump cards. The rest of the people and demonic beasts were just for harassment.

Xu Mingxian was in charge of the encirclement formation.

He is currently unable to refine third-tier array flags, and he also lacks the necessary materials, as most of the materials involved are extremely precious array materials.

A set of third-tier low-grade array flags is probably worth as much as several magic treasures.

Considering that future opponents would involve demonic forces and monsters, Xu Mingxian crafted two sets of array flags: the Seven Star Demon Sealing Array and the Heavenly Gang Demon Locking Array.

The Heavenly Gang Demon-Locking Formation will be used this time.

This formation has the effect of suppressing and weakening demonic beasts.

It also has a significant effect on third-tier monsters.

The group headed to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.

"Mingxian, set up a large formation around here. Xu Bai, go and lure that old snake here. Even if you want to kill it, try to do it in another place."

This would prevent him from having any backup plans in his own backyard.

The others concealed their cultivation levels and suppressed their aura fluctuations.

Everyone followed suit.

The world of monsters is simple: the strong prey on the weak.

If you see a piece of land you want, just grab it! If you see a spouse you want, just grab them!
Most monsters fall for this tactic and are easily provoked into anger.

Xu Bai ran to the core of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, and with a roar that pierced through gold and shattered rocks, tearing through the flowing clouds.

"This territory is mine, Tiger is taking it. You guys inside, you'd better get out of here!" The next moment.

A dark red python, nearly twenty feet long, burst out of the valley. Its head was as wide and large as a triangular cauldron, and a fleshy tumor half a foot long grew on its forehead, faintly glowing with black light.

Its pupils were vertical and red, and when they opened and closed, a cold glint pierced the eye, as if they could pierce through rock walls.

When it cleaved open, it revealed venomous fangs like white jade hooks. Saliva dripped to the ground, eroding the bluestone with a honeycomb-like pit with a "sizzle," and the fishy smell spread with the saliva.

Its red core was over a foot and a half long, and when it spit out its flames, it was like a flaming snake.

It has fleshy wings on its back, which are attached to the scales on its back. When it flaps its wings, it brings a fishy smell.

"Little white cat, this is my territory. If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here!"

A sharp screech erupted, unleashing waves of sound that rippled outwards in all directions.

Xu Bai ignored him and raised his claws, condensing three golden rays several meters long. The golden rays were extremely condensed and, in a flash, tore through the giant python's dark red scales, revealing the flesh and blood inside.

The giant triangular python cried out in pain, its vertical pupils turning crimson, and it opened its mouth to spew out a streak of crimson-black fire.

Xu Bai dodged the attack with a gust of wind, and the crimson-black flames fell to the ground. The scorching heat immediately melted a pit several feet deep, and billowing black smoke shot straight up.

Xu Bai was acting as bait, so there was no need for him to fight desperately in close combat. He once again condensed his sharp metal energy into the tip of his claws and unleashed several golden rays that pierced straight at the giant python's tumor.

However, this time they did not succeed.

The giant python suddenly spread its fleshy wings on its back, like two red sails billowing in the wind, and its body rose several feet into the air with the force of the wind. Golden light grazed its scales and splashed a few sparks.

With each flap of its fleshy wings, it stirred up gusts of strange wind.

The strange wind carried poisonous venom.

"Roar--"

With a low roar, the white tiger unleashed a semi-transparent barrier of golden energy, deflecting the oncoming poisonous miasma.

Seeing this, the giant python became even more enraged. It raised its triangular head and spewed out another stream of crimson-black fire. The flames were mixed with poisonous gas, and the air smelled of burning.

The white tiger stepped on golden energy and dodged to the side.

Black smoke rose from the ground again.

Before the smoke and fire had even cleared, the giant python's body lashed out again like a steel whip, its scales reflecting the firelight with an eerie red glow.

The white tiger twisted its body to dodge, its claws flashing with golden energy as they struck the giant python's tail.

With a "clang," sparks flew everywhere, but it only managed to cut open half an inch of the scales.

The giant python, in pain, suddenly curled its tail back, attempting to constrict and kill the white tiger.

The white tiger retreated like lightning, glanced back at the triangular python, and then sped away into the distance.

Having been bullied and even suffered a minor loss at the hands of someone, the triangular python was not about to let it go; the anger in his heart had been completely ignited.

"You mere early stage of the third rank, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will still devour you alive."

The giant triangular python had considered whether the white tiger had any companions, but relying on its mid-stage third-tier strength, it felt it could escape unscathed.

He thought that perhaps the two of them were at the early stage of the third rank and had their eyes on his territory.

If their strength far surpasses his, why bother with all this? They could just seize the territory directly.

Just like he was back then.

Unfortunately, he ran into "Brother Gou" Xu Chuan.

Even though he had the strength to suppress Mo Yue, the giant triangular python, and three other early-stage Golden Core cultivators, he still wanted to play it safe.

Xu Bai was fast, but the triangular python was faster.

It only takes the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to catch up.

Xu Bai fought and retreated, never letting the enemy get close.

Half an incense stick later, they finally lured him into the great formation.

Xu Bai suddenly stopped, turned around and roared at him, "Don't go too far!"

"You will die today!" the triangular python roared.

Xu Bai immediately rushed forward to fight him in close combat, partly to keep him from falling behind in the short term.

But at the very moment of taking action...

Several beams of azure light shot into the sky, and the Heavenly Gang Demon-Locking Array, which had been prepared in advance, closed instantly, reducing the array's range from tens of miles to a radius of several miles.

"A formation?! How do you have a formation? Aren't your companions other demonic beasts?" The triangular giant python's vertical pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needles.

"Your wild guesses are none of my business!" Xu Bai moved away from the triangular python. "Boss Mo Yue, get him!"

A large, azure dragon, even larger and longer than the triangular python, suddenly appeared in the east.

Its scales reflected the sunlight like shattered jade, its whiskers hung down its chest, and its eyes were like a cold pool.

"Roar!"

A dragon's roar rang out, and the triangular giant python felt that part of the dragon bloodline within its body was being suppressed.

He possesses both the bloodline of a dragon and the bloodline of the ancient demon, the Heavenly Fire Python, but the Heavenly Fire Python bloodline outweighs the dragon bloodline, so even at the third rank, he remains in the form of a giant python.

"A mid-stage Tier 3 Flood Dragon?!"

Followed by.

A strong, eerie wind swept across the west side, and a dark red mist of blood, carrying the stench of corpses, billowed around. The Xuan Yin Blood Corpse appeared, stepping through the mist.

It was two zhang tall, its body covered with dark red hard skin, with many parts showing a metallic luster, its ten fingers like red iron hooks, and the bloodthirsty aura surrounding its body was almost solidified.

It roared and stopped on the west side of the triangular python.

The north was eerily quiet, with black mist gathering like ink, and the faint sounds of countless ghostly wails could be heard.

The Ghost King emerged from the mist, his body seemingly both real and ethereal, his black robes fluttering in the ghostly wind, and his eyes two clusters of flickering eerie green flames.

Its sharp whistling sound instinctively carries a divine sense attack, causing people to suffer from splitting headaches.

Finally, to the south, was where Xu Bai was located.

Its frost-covered fur and golden markings shimmered in the light, its golden eyes swept over Mo Yue, the Blood Corpse, and the Ghost King, and its sharp claws held a golden aura that remained dormant.

The giant triangular python spun rapidly, its nearly twenty-zhang-long body turning like a spinning top. Its scales screeched against the ground, creating a sharp "hissing" sound, and a foul wind carrying poisonous miasma spread in all directions.

Those crimson vertical pupils swept over the scales of the Moyue outside the formation, then over the dark red hard skin of the blood corpse, then fixed their gaze on the ghost king's eerie green flames, and finally landed on the white tiger to the south.

As its fangs moved, a threatening growl rolled from its throat.

"kill!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the edge of the great formation.

Mo Yue made the first move, and as he opened his mouth, hundreds of icy spikes condensed and rained down on the triangular giant python.

The giant python opened its mouth and spewed out crimson-black fire threads; as its head moved, it swept across all the ice.

But at the same time, the white tiger closed in, its sharp claws tearing through his scales again, causing him pain before swinging its long tail to strangle him.

A black iron arrow pierced the air and struck its vital spot with terrifying force. The arrowhead grazed the scales, sparks flying everywhere.

But it also deflected his long tail.

The white tiger retreated rapidly.

The triangular python then discovered that there were several human cultivators with faint auras at the four edges.

Although he was extremely furious at the moment and wanted to devour those humans, he couldn't get away at all.

Just as the White Tiger retreated, the Xuan Yin Blood Corpse and the Ghost King came from both sides.

Although the Xuan Yin Blood Corpse could not break through his scales as easily as the White Tiger, its blood-fiend flames were extremely fierce, causing him great pain when they landed on his wounds.

The Ghost King's black robe billowed, and countless eerie green flames flew out from the mist, falling like meteors towards the giant python's forehead tumor, making it dizzy and unable to exert its full strength.

Whenever he flicks his tail, an incredibly powerful iron arrow will strike. If it weren't for his thick scales and amazing defense, he would probably be pierced through by the iron arrow.

The giant triangular python frantically spewed crimson and black fire threads in all directions, and while it temporarily forced Mo Yue and the others back, it crashed its body into the blue light screen above its head.

Suddenly, the azure light of the light curtain intensified, and beams of azure light fell upon him, like massive boulders weighing thousands of pounds, shackled him.

This forced him to land on the ground.

"Wow!"

A cry of an eagle came from the sky. The Purple Lightning and Azure Fire Eagle spread its wings and swept over the top of the formation. With a flap of its wings, several balls of purple lightning and azure fire fell, frantically bombarding the giant python's back and splashing charred scales.

Then, Mo Yue, Bai Hu, Xuan Yin Blood Corpse, and Ghost King launched another round of attacks.

Xu Chuan launched a sneak attack with his Hundred Herbs Needles. The thirty-six needles easily entered his body through the torn wound.

Xu Mingshu then released a few iron-devouring flying ants, which also burrowed into the body of the triangular giant python and devoured its flesh.

The excruciating pain in his physical body, the agony in his mind, the external attacks, and the suppression of the array's azure light plunged the triangular python into deep despair.

What the hell did I do to deserve this?!
In just half an incense stick's time.

As his massive body collapsed to the ground, he was no longer alive.

Xu Chonghui summoned back the Ghost King, and Xu Mingyuan put away the Xuan Yin Blood Corpse.

Xu Chuan and the others approached and began to extract the inner core, essence, blood, scales, fangs, and stones from the beast to refine magical artifacts. The flesh and blood were also highly nutritious for the demonic beasts raised by the Xu family.

However, its flesh and blood contain potent poison, and even a second-tier demon beast would likely not be able to easily withstand its refining process.

Then the group went to the lair of the triangular python and dug three feet into the ground.

"Let's go back to Dongxi."

After finishing, Xu Chuan waved his hand dismissively.

Back in Dongxi, Xu Chonghui and Xu Mingyuan went to handle their own affairs.

Xu Chuan then began refining pills after meditating for two or three hours.

These are a second-tier peak lightning-type demon spirit pill, a second-tier peak fire-type demon spirit pill, and a third-tier fire-type demon spirit pill.

The first two helped him quickly reach the peak of the second tier, while the latter helped him break through to the third tier.

The excess is retained in the family.

"Ming Shu, these demon spirit pills are for you. Once Xu Ying reaches the peak of the second tier, have Xu Bai take him to the core of the fire-type spiritual vein in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes for seclusion until he breaks through."

"Yes, Father, I understand."

After a short while, Xu Chuan noticed that Xu Mingshu was standing still and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"Father, are you leaving?"

Even if Xu Mingshu was slow to catch on, she would have known about the recent big moves.

Xu Chuan smiled and stroked her head, "My Xu family will eventually develop in the Tiannan Region. I am just going to fight a preliminary battle."

Once things stabilize and we've weathered this great calamity, we will allow you to proceed.

"Can our daughter come with you this time?" Xu Mingshu asked, her eyes fixed on Xu Chuan.

"You are the person in charge of raising the family's spirit beasts. Now, as the most important part of the Xu family's plan, if you are not here, no one else can control them."

"Can you bear to see them turn against my Xu family disciples one day?"

Xu Mingshu lowered her head, and after a moment forced a smile, she said, "Daughter understands. Father, please take care of your safety when you are out there."

Xueji will stay here and protect the Xu family, waiting for your return, Father.

"Father will." Xu Chuan raised his hand and gently pinched her nose, just like when they were children, and joked, "Your father is most afraid of dying."

After Xu Mingshu left.

Mo Yue emerged from the icy pool, looked at Xu Chuan, and asked, "Which people do you plan to take with you?"

“Mingxian, Deling, Deyue, and Ye Fan.”

“Mingxian, Deling is normal. After all, one is a master of formations and the other is a master of weapon crafting. Ye Fan, that little brat, has a heavenly spiritual root, so it is indeed better for him to develop outside. But Deyue?”

That little girl doesn't have a high profile in the Xu family; she's detached and devoted to cultivation. You actually brought her along this time?

"I have my own plans."

Mo Yue curled his lip and said, "Fine, I won't tell you then. I'm too lazy to ask!"

After saying this, he sank into the cold pool.

a few days later.

Xu Chuan brought Xu Mingwei over.

“Mingwei, after Ye Fan breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I plan to take Mingxian, Deling, Deyue and Ye Fan away.”

Xu Mingwei sighed softly. He had long known that he wouldn't get a share, but hearing it with his own ears still made him feel down.

“The second-tier array flags of various grades left by Mingxian in the clan are sufficient for the clan’s use, as are the top-tier magic artifacts. There is little use for him and Deling to stay here.”

"Going out will allow me to find a stronger lineage, improve myself, and also benefit the future of the Xu family."

"I understand. I will take care of the Xu family and protect our people in my father's place," Xu Mingwei said solemnly.

“You never disappoint me.” Xu Chuan smiled slightly. “I’ve called you here today to appoint you as the leader of the Protectors.”

To protect those with potential within the clan, and to either set things right or preserve the clan's lineage when there are disagreements or difficulties within the clan.

These things may not happen, but I am doing this as a father to prepare for the worst.

You may choose your own family members, even those from other families, but they must all be absolutely loyal to the Xu family and even be willing to sacrifice themselves for the family in critical moments.

Those who join the Protectors must keep their identities secret; even the family head and the Grand Elder cannot know them. Only you are aware of them.

"Yes, father."

A few days later.

Xu Chuan then spoke with Xu Mingxuan, Xu Mingyuan, and Xu Mingqing, giving them instructions.

The Xu family mansion.

Xu Chuan also told Bai Jing about this.

Bai Jing looked at Xu Chuan and sighed softly, "Husband, I know you wish for immortality. I will not stop you, but I know I cannot stop you."

So, my husband, go forth, but just remember that I will remain here, waiting for your return.

Xu Chuan stepped forward and pulled Bai Jing into his arms, whispering in her ear, "I'm sorry, Madam."

Bai Jing smiled slightly, "On our wedding day, my husband, you swore to heaven and earth that you would make my life peaceful, prosperous, and joyful for the rest of my days."

My husband has already fulfilled his promise, so there is no need for me to apologize.

Marrying you is my greatest fortune.

Seven or eight days later.
