After saying that, he turned around and walked straight outside, soon disappearing from Gu Ni's sight.

Looking at Xiao Ling's back as he left, Gu Ni muttered, "What a weirdo." When his gaze shifted to the jade bottle containing the Qi Gathering Powder, his eyes became hot. He picked up the jade bottle and walked towards the inner room. He had to keep this pill well. If anything unexpected happened, he would be severely punished by the Mittel family.

After walking out of the Mitel Auction House, Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing dangerous happened. He just had to wait until next week to come back to get the beast fire. The Burning Art should be able to evolve to the advanced yellow level. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and walked towards the Xiao family.

Walking into the Xiao family, family members greeted Xiao Ling one after another.

"Cousin Xiao Ling, your aura has become stronger and your cultivation has improved again!"

"Cousin Xiao Ling, have you just come back from outside?"

"Cousin Xiao Ling is getting more and more handsome. Can you come to my room tonight to teach me how to practice?"

Xiao Ling did not put on an air of looking down on others, and greeted them very gently. When he heard that a sister wanted to invite him to practice in her room at night, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart: "Bah, you want me to teach you how to practice? You are just greedy for my body, you are cheap!"

Suddenly, Xiao Ling saw a person outside the crowd, walking towards the back mountain very carefully. He looked carefully and found that it was Xiao Yan. What was he doing so quietly? Wasn't he going to the place where the girls took baths? Could it be...

Chapter 9 Back Mountain Pond

On the small hill behind the mountain, Xiao Yan was lying on the grass bored, crossing his legs and basking in the sun.

This is his own secret base. He often comes here alone to practice or relax. If he is lucky, he can sometimes even peek at the girls of the tribe taking a bath.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan glanced to the side and found a figure not far away walking towards the pond in the back mountain.

He stood up and took a closer look. "Isn't this Xiao Ning's sister Xiao Yu? She's holding a towel. Is she going to take a shower?"

Xiao Yan perked up. It seemed that Xiao Yu was going to take a shower. She was usually unhappy when she saw her brother, so today she came to see how beautiful his sister was. It seemed that she had come to the right place today.

Climbing up and bending down, Xiao Yan tiptoed towards the edge of the pool. He found a large rock in front of him that could stop him, so he rolled over and hid behind the rock, leaving only one eye staring at Xiao Yu in the pool.

Not far away, Xiao Ling also arrived here. With his soul perception spread out, he quickly found out the current situation.

"It seems that in the original novel, Xiao Yan peeked at Xiao Yu today." Xiao Ling touched his chin and looked in the direction of Xiao Yu.

Next to the pool, Xiao Yu was about to undress, as if she was about to take a bath.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan, who was behind a big rock not far away, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and stared at Xiao Yu, looking unwilling to look away.

Seeing this situation, how could Xiao Ling continue to stand idly by? I, Xiao, am a gentleman and will never allow such a thing to happen before my eyes.

With a flick of his fingertips, a ball of fiery red Dou Qi shot towards Xiao Yan's kidney. Although he had just become a Dou Zhe, Xiao Ling was very adept at controlling the Dou Qi because of his outstanding soul perception. The Dou Qi broke through the air and directly hit Xiao Yan's kidney.

Xiao Yan was staring at Xiao Yu intently, so how could he pay attention to anything else? He heard a "whoosh" sound and suddenly felt a burning sensation in his kidneys, followed by a pain. He couldn't help but cover his kidneys with both hands and screamed.

"Ah~, it hurts so much."

Xiao Yu had just unbuttoned a button when he heard a noise behind him. He quickly stopped what he was doing and turned around in panic. He saw Xiao Yan, who was grinning, with half of his head sticking out from under a large rock.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu had no idea what was going on. He was so angry that his face turned red. He ran towards Xiao Yan with a quick step and fed Xiao Yan a big punch.

"You little thief, you are so young and you don't learn your lesson. You just learned to steal things from others and even learned to peek at others taking a bath."

Xiao Yu, not satisfied, punched Xiao Yan twice more, hitting both kidneys. Xiao Yan covered his kidneys with one hand in pain and ran down the mountain in panic.

Xiao Ling, who was hiding not far away, saw this scene and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "This woman is really cruel when she gets angry. Never provoke a woman with a bad temper in the future."

Shaking his head and not thinking any more, Xiao Ling watched the two of them leave the back mountain, then he circulated his fighting spirit and ran towards his own courtyard.

"Xiao Yu, I will definitely trample you under my feet. And Xiao Ning, just wait for me."

Xiao Yan ran back to his own courtyard, wrapped in bandages, and sat on the bed with a gloomy face. He set some goals for himself and then began his training for the day.

He would definitely not tell his father, the clan leader, about this matter. Otherwise, if Xiao Zhan knew that his son was planning to peek at Xiao Yu taking a bath, he would definitely teach him a lesson for the sake of the great elder. He could only choose to practice silently and then take revenge after he became strong.

Although cultivation is a boring thing, Xiao Yan, who has traveled to the Douqi Continent for so long, has gradually adapted to it.

"It's almost a breakthrough!"

Feeling the Dou Qi surging in his body, Xiao Yan's face showed some excitement. He focused his mind and prepared to make a breakthrough to the sixth level of Dou Qi in one go.

A week passed in a flash

Xiao Ling, who was practicing in the room, made a hand seal to end his practice, stood up, felt the fighting spirit in his body, shook his head, and sighed: "The low-level yellow-grade skills are really bad. The speed of practicing fighting spirit is slow, and the quality is also relatively poor. I have to use beast fire to slightly improve the level of the skills. If I can't reach the Xuan grade, I can only ask Xun'er for help. Anyway, she is my future wife, and it is not shameful to eat the soft rice of my future wife. I have also learned the suction palm, which is worthy of being a Xuan grade fighting skill. It is very useful." He cleared his mind, walked out of the room, and ran towards the Mitel Auction House.

As he approached the auction venue, he put on a black robe and gloves as usual.

As I walked into the hall, I felt the same cool feeling as before. I looked around and saw no one I knew.

Xiao Ling found a maid and took out the token that Gu Ni gave him last time. "I'm looking for Master Gu Ni from your auction house. Please show me the way."

The maid took the token, looked at it, showed a professional smile, and stretched out her hand, saying, "Sir, please follow me to the VIP lounge and wait for a moment. I will go find Master Gu Ni right away."

The two walked to a lounge, and the maid made a cup of tea and left. Xiao Ling sat down and took a sip of tea. He felt that his fighting spirit had become more active. "As expected of the Mitel Auction House, they are really rich. The tea they serve to guests can even slightly increase their training efficiency."

After a while, Gu Ni came in. When he saw that it was the man in black robe from last time, a smile appeared on his face.

"Sir, the beast fires you need have been prepared for you. They are the Earth Fire from the fourth-level Earth Rock Turtle, the Peach Blossom Fire from the fourth-level Kui Wood Beast, and the Dry Blue Water Flame from the fourth-level Nether Sea Dragon Beast. The first two are 100,000 gold coins, and the latter is 200,000 gold coins. The guardian beast of the Gama Empire's royal family is a sixth-level Nether Sea Dragon Beast." Gu Ni raised his hand and waved, and three porcelain bottles appeared on the table, with the three beast fires in the bottles.

Xiao Ling slightly activated the suction palm, and three porcelain bottles flew to Xiao Ling's hand. He waved his sleeves and put them into his belt one by one, which made Gu Ni stunned.

He was secretly pleased that he was indeed a master of acting smart, and said with a smile: "I believe in the reputation of the Mittel family. I will come to you again next time there is a transaction."

After saying that, he turned around, left the lounge, walked out of the Mitel Auction House, and headed towards the Xiao family.

Returning to the room, he couldn't wait to take out three porcelain bottles and look at the three beast fires.

The Earth Fireworks is yellowish in color, and is a flame with a heavy earth attribute.

The color of peach blossom fire is pink, and a faint fragrance emanates, giving people a friendly feeling.

The Qianlan Water Flame is dark blue and has the most energy and the best quality among the three.

Xiao Ling cleared his mind, adjusted his breathing, and prepared to start absorbing the beast fire.

Chapter 10 Absorbing Beast Fire

Looking at the three beast fires in front of him, he hesitated for a while and decided to refine the peach blossom fire with a milder energy first.

He opened the cap of the porcelain bottle containing the peach blossom fire, stretched out his hand, and the pink fire fell into his hand. Staring at the beast fire in front of him, Xiao Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of fiery color. With his current strength, it is not easy to obtain or absorb strange fire, and these beast fires taken from the bodies of magic beasts are just suitable for the current weak situation.

Slowly close your eyes, make a practice hand seal, and let your mind enter your body. Slightly open your mouth and use your soul power to draw the peach blossom fire into your body.

Focus your attention on the cyclone, use your soul perception to quickly wrap the entire cyclone completely, and then rotate it at high speed.

As the cyclone continued to rotate at high speed, an area large enough to accommodate the beast fire was cleared out inside it.

He wrapped the peach blossom fire with soul perception, pulling it through the surrounding fighting spirit blockade, and finally drilled into the small space.

When the peach blossom fire entered the space, it began to operate slowly like a machine.

The beast fire needs to absorb the fire-attributed fighting spirit in the cyclone to strengthen itself, and the temperature it emits also increases the speed at which the cyclone absorbs the fighting spirit. This brings benefits to both the beast fire and the cyclone.

In the room, Xiao Ling slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and his eyes were much brighter than before.

After feeling the situation inside his body, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He raised his palm and peach blossom fire leaped up.

This beast fire seems to have life, constantly beating, but it can be controlled by soul power and it can be easily controlled.

After putting away the beast fire in his hand and looking at the two porcelain bottles in front of him, Xiao Ling hesitated for a while and put them away one by one. His strength was still a little lacking now. To be on the safe side, it would be better not to swallow the strange fire to advance to the Burning Art without the Ice Heart Pill and the Vein Protection Pill.

When Canaan College starts recruiting students next month, I will go to the college to exchange elixirs and beast fire, and directly upgrade the Burning Technique to the Profound Level.

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Xiao Ling walked out of the room and let out a long sigh: "I'll go inform the elders of the family of my plan first. If I leave suddenly, it might cause more trouble." Xiao Ling didn't think any more and ran towards the place where Xiao Zhan was practicing.

After arriving outside Xiao Zhan's training room and looking at the guards around him, Xiao Ling walked up.

"Hello, is the patriarch free now? I want to discuss something with him." Xiao Ling said to the guard.

The guard obviously knew Xiao Ling. When he heard that he wanted to talk to the clan leader about something, he said, "The clan leader is discussing something with several elders in the conference room now. I'll take you in." He nodded to the guards around him and then walked inside.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling followed them. Since these people were all together, it would be best to explain everything to them all at once.

After a while, they arrived in front of a spacious hall. The guard first exchanged a few words with the guard at the door, and then said to Xiao Ling: "You have a special status in the family. The clan leader said before that you can go in directly if you have something to do. You can go in through the side door."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh that if you have talent in the Xiao family, you can do whatever you want. He nodded, opened the side door, and walked into the conference hall.

As soon as he walked into the hall, he saw the great elder pointing at Xiao Zhan's nose and cursing.

"Xiao Zhan, will you teach your son? Xiao Yan went to peek at my granddaughter taking a bath. If my Xiao Yu hadn't discovered it early, I don't know how many more girls in the family would have been peeped at. As the young patriarch of the family, he is so shameless. It's really shameful!"

Seeing this, Xiao Ling muttered in his heart: "It turns out that Xiao Yan's peeping was spread, and they are arguing here."

Xiao Ling looked over and saw Xiao Zhan looking calm and composed, not caring about the Great Elder's accusations at all. He even picked up a cup of fragrant tea and started drinking it.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling's mouth twitched, thinking: "Is this what it means to be fearless when you have talent? I really don't know if Xiao Yan can still be so calm after he becomes a loser."

When several elders saw someone coming in, they all turned their eyes over. When they saw it was Xiao Ling, the indifference on their old faces immediately disappeared and they all showed a kind smile.

Seeing that everyone's attention was shifted to him, Xiao Ling quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Patriarch, three elders."

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk. What brings you here? I heard that you have just broken through to the Fighter level. Do you need any guidance on your cultivation?" The Great Elder spoke first.

The other people also looked at Xiao Ling with inquiring eyes. They all knew that he had broken through to the Fighter level and went to the Fighting Qi Pavilion. They were also very concerned about the family's first genius breaking through to the Fighter level.

As soon as Xiao Ling sat down, he greeted several elders. However, the age gap was there after all. He was only in his twenties in his two lives, so he felt a little awkward after just a few words. So, he got straight to the point: "I have reached the fighter level now, and the Xiao family can only help me a limited amount. I plan to sign up for further studies when the Canaan College's enrollment team arrives."

Several elders looked at each other, not knowing how to start. In fact, they knew in their hearts that it would be a waste of a genius like Xiao Ling to keep him in the Xiao family. They just didn't expect that he would leave the Xiao family so early. If people from other forces had fooled him, Xiao Ling might not have come. But this kind of thing could not be stopped.

It was Xiao Zhan who spoke first: "You are still young, you can practice at home for a few more years, it won't be too late to go out later."

After listening to them, Xiao Ling guessed their concerns and said, "I am still young, so I should endure hardships now. I also want to improve my cultivation quickly and become the strongest person on the continent. Don't worry, I will never forget the kindness the Xiao family has shown me."

After hearing this, several elders looked relieved. As long as the genius in the clan was not abducted, they just needed to remember this mother's family.

At this time, Xiao Zhan spoke again: "The Yunlan Sect will hold a disciple recruitment meeting in a month. You can go to participate in the selection ceremony. With your talent, you will definitely be trained as a key figure in the sect. Maybe the Yunyun Sect Master will even accept you as his personal disciple."

After Xiao Ling heard this, a drop of cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and he muttered in his heart, "Xiao Zhan, you are really ruthless. Are you afraid that I won't die early enough? What, do you want to do that too?" In fact, Xiao Ling also understood that Yunlan Sect was not that far from the Xiao family, so he could take care of the family. Canaan College was in the Black Horn Region, and it was difficult to contact the Xiao family there.

Of course, the Yunlan Sect’s strange things cannot be said, at least not now, so the only explanation is this:

"Janaan College has a strong faculty. I think being a student is no worse than being a disciple of Yunlan Sect. Maybe with my talent, a Dou Zong will accept me as a disciple."

Xiao Ling smiled and made a joke that was not too big.

Several elders looked at each other and sighed:

"Then it's up to you to choose. Just don't forget the Xiao family."

The elder took out a black card, handed it to Xiao Ling, and said with a smile: "This is pocket money for you. There are 50,000 gold coins in it. Don't make yourself suffer when you go out."

Xiao Ling was a little touched, took the gold card, and nodded slightly. Although fifty thousand was not much, it was not a small amount of money for the Xiao family.

"Thank you, clan leader and elders. Xiao Ling will take his leave now." He bowed and left the meeting room.
