Life Devouring Pill

It took the two some time to obtain these items, and they arrived at the Xiao Family's residence three days later.

Since becoming the undisputed overlord of Wu Tan City, the Xiao Family's mansion has become increasingly magnificent, with two rows of guards standing at the entrance.

When passersby looked at the Xiao Family, their eyes were filled with awe and envy.

Suddenly, two figures flew down from the sky and landed in front of the Xiao Family's gate, attracting the attention of the guards.

The newcomers were Xiao Ming and Zi Yan.

"The Supreme Elder has returned!"

"Supreme Elder!"

Nodding slightly to the surprised guards, Xiao Ming led Zi Yan through the gates of the Xiao Family.

Not long after stepping into the Xiao family's gate, the two encountered many members of the Xiao family along the way. Xiao Ming vaguely remembered some of them; they seemed to be the orphans he had slept on the large communal bed with when he lived in the Xiao family's Hall of Loyalty and Martyrdom.

Recalling that time, a hint of reminiscence appeared on Xiao Ming's face.

At that time, he was so engrossed in cultivation that the other kids in his dormitory rarely had a chance to play with him; they only succeeded a few times.

Despite this, they still seemed to be quite happy together.

However, this situation is no longer common nowadays. Apart from those who are more familiar with Xiao Shan and his group, as well as those naive children, other sensible clansmen are somewhat reserved in his presence.

This might be related to the fact that he has been away from his family for too long and that he is too powerful.

With a slight sigh, as he passed a group of beautiful girls, Xiao Ming suddenly remembered something and called out to the youngest member of his clan.

"Hey, cousin, come here for a second."

The girl who was called was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening and pointed to herself, saying, "Is Cousin Xiao Ming calling me?"

"Yes, it's you." Xiao Ming nodded.

Amidst the envious gazes of a group of people, the girl excitedly ran to Xiao Ming.

"Cousin Xiao Ming, is there something you need?" The girl's eyes were filled with admiration as her childish voice rang out.

Smiling at the rather cute-looking little girl, Xiao Ming asked, "What's your name?"

Xiao Qing.

"You're Xiao Qing's cousin, right? Do you know where Xiao Shan's cousin is?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ming's question, Xiao Qing nodded without hesitation and said, "I know, my cousin Xiao Shan is teaching Dou Skill at the Dou Technique Hall today!"

The Xiao Family's Dou Technique Hall not only houses the Dou Skill collected by the Xiao Family, but all clansmen can enter and choose their Dou Skill. However, higher-level Dou Skill are beyond the comprehension of lower-level clansmen, so the Xiao Family arranges for powerful clansmen to instruct them.

Xiao Shan was somewhat surprised to find Xiao Ming there. It seemed that Xiao Shan was quite concerned about the development of the family. Guiding others in cultivation was a rather troublesome matter, just like guiding a child in doing homework. After all, not everyone is gifted and can understand things instantly.

Thinking this, Xiao Ming shook his head and said to Xiao Qing, "Cousin Xiao Qing, could you please call my cousin Xiao Shan over?"

"Mmm." Hearing Xiao Ming's request, Xiao Qing nodded her little head vigorously, looking quite adorable.

Seeing her expression, Xiao Ming smiled and pinched her cheek. Zi Yan, who was behind him, couldn't help but narrow her eyes when she saw this gesture.

A flash of white light appeared in his hand, and a Jade Bottle materialized there.

"This is Grade Two Explosive Qi Pill, which can temporarily boost your strength. Consider it your reward!"

"Wow, thank you, cousin!" Xiao Qing said sweetly as she happily took the Jade Bottle from Xiao Ming's hand.

"You're welcome. Go ahead, and remember to tell my cousin Xiao Shan to come find me at my place."

Knock knock knock!

Not long after Xiao Ming returned to his residence, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Shan's loud, honest voice rang out from outside the door, "Cousin, it's me!"

"Come in, the door's unlocked!" Xiao Ming said, sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard.

The door creaked open, revealing Xiao Shan's tall figure.

Looking at Xiao Shan, Xiao Ming smiled and said, "I heard you're teaching your clansmen Dou Skill in the Dou Technique Hall. That must be quite grueling. How do you have the leisure to do such a thing?"

Sitting down next to Xiao Ming, Xiao Shan poured himself a glass of water without any formality and smiled, "I just wanted to teach the clansmen a bit since you used to often guide me in Dou Skill. Now that I'm back in the clan, I thought I'd share that experience with them too."

"It's just that there are too many people, and we're a bit overwhelmed. Before you sent your people over, I was surrounded by layers upon layers of people!" Xiao Shan said with a wry smile.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Ming smiled and shook his head. With guidance from Dou Ling expert, none of those clansmen would give up this opportunity unless they were fools.

"By the way, cousin, why did you call me here?"

Xiao Shan took another sip of water and asked.

Xiao Ming did not answer immediately, but instead took out two transparent jade Jade Bottle from his Na Ring.

As soon as the Jade Bottle was taken out, a subtle fragrance unique to medicinal pills wafted out.

"Cousin, what's this?" Xiao Shan looked at Xiao Ming with some confusion.

"Take a look first," Xiao Ming said, handing over the pills.

Xiao Shan accepted the pill. Now that he had the strength of Dou Ling, he had long since developed his own ability to distinguish these things.

He discovered that the caps of the two Jade Bottle were marked with some kind of energy traces, which, upon closer inspection, seemed to resemble the effect of some kind of seal.

A pill that needs to be sealed! This pill seems to be of a high grade! Xiao Shan's heart skipped a beat.

He then looked at the pills again, and saw two pills, one red and one blue.

Just then, Xiao Ming's voice rang out from the side.

Both of these pills are Grade Seven Medicinal Pill.

"What! Rank 7!" Although he thought the pill was of a very high grade, Xiao Shan was still very surprised when he heard Xiao Ming state its grade.

"That's right, the red pill in your right hand is a Grade Seven Life Devouring Pill, and the one on your left is Grade Seven Azure Nether Longevity Pill!"

"The Life Devouring Pill's effect is to instantly grant a person the strength of Dou Wang!"

"You'll immediately possess the strength of Dou Wang!" Xiao Shan was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at the red pill.

The pill was entirely blood-red, about the size of a longan. It looked extremely strange, appearing at first glance like a transparent bead filled with blood. In the center of the pill, a dark red spot of blood-red light faintly resembled a tiny eye, giving it an overall eerie feel.

"Can this pill really instantly grant someone the strength of Dou Wang? Even if it can, it's probably not that simple, is it?" Xiao Shan said calmly without much thought.
