The Liu Family's Gift

He stepped forward and handed the jade box to Xiao Tian: "This is a Seven-Star Ganoderma that my father obtained by chance. Our family has never had any use for it, so we are giving it to you today as a token of our appreciation."

Upon hearing about the Seven-Star Ganoderma, even Xuan Yi, who had no interest in such matters, looked up at the jade box.

Xiao Tian was slightly surprised, not expecting the other party to take out such a precious item, and reached out to take the jade box.

Upon opening the jade box, one finds a Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom) inside. On the Ganoderma lucidum are seven stars that form the shape of the Big Dipper, clearly indicating that it is no ordinary object.

The Seven-Star Ganoderma can be considered a medicinal herb, but it can also be considered not a medicinal herb, because it is not used with other medicinal herbs to make elixirs, but rather as an auxiliary medicinal herb.

It has only one effect: to increase the success rate of refining pills. Even for Eighth-Tier Nine-Colored Pill, it can increase the success rate by 10% to 20%, which is already quite high.

In the Medicine Realm alchemy, this is arguably one of the most coveted items by Alchemist, and even Xuan Yi cannot ignore this herb.

It's important to know that even Rank 8 Alchemist has to go to great lengths to gather enough medicinal materials to refine pills, and the process has a high failure rate. Once a failure occurs, all the time spent beforehand is completely wasted.

If the Liu Family had news of this medicinal herb, many Alchemist might rush over to buy it the very next day, and some might even have malicious intentions.

Liu Shan knew that Xiao Tian was an Alchemist, so he catered to his interests by taking out the Seven-Star Ganoderma from his own collection.

At this moment, Liu Qing also stood up and said to Xiao Tian, "It's never safe for us to keep this thing. Only you, Xiao Tian, have the ability to make it work to its full potential. You absolutely must not refuse."

Although this item is currently the most valuable possession of the Liu Family, it is not suitable for use. Moreover, none of their blood relatives are Alchemist, and using it to refine low-grade pills would be a waste.

But holding onto it was like a hot potato; if it were ever exposed, the Liu Family would soon be wiped out.

As for selling it, Liu Shan didn't even dare to think about it; this thing was enough to make many people take risks.

"Since that's the case, then I'll shamelessly accept this gift." Xiao Tian didn't refuse; this item was indeed very attractive to him. After all, he was an Alchemist, and it was difficult for an Alchemist to refuse such a gift.

Seeing Xiao Tian readily accept the gift, Liu Shan's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction. He had brought it out precisely to curry favor with Xiao Tian: "Hehe, I'm glad you like it, Young Master Xiao. As the saying goes, a fine sword is for a hero; this medicinal herb can only play its proper role in your hands."

After the group chatted for a while longer, the welcoming banquet arranged by the Liu Family was quickly prepared.

The drinking and conversation continued until late in the evening. Afterwards, Liu Fei led Xiao Tian to the guest room that had been arranged in advance.

In the banquet hall, Liu Shan watched Xiao Tian and the others walk away, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

"Father, how is it? I wasn't wrong before, were I? You still didn't believe me." Liu Qing approached his father and said with a hint of excitement.

When I said it before, my father thought I was exaggerating.

"Unfathomable." This was the only word Liu Shan could think of to describe Xiao Tian; no other word could adequately express his understanding of Xiao Tian.

"Indeed, back then he dominated the entire Jia Nan Academy, and no one could rival him," Liu Qing sighed.

"This kind of person shouldn't be a role model, because you could spend your whole life and never even see a glimpse of their back. This kind of person is not someone ordinary people can compare to. Just take it one step at a time and do your best." Liu Shan patted his son's shoulder. As a father, he naturally understood his son's thoughts very well.

"Father, I understand." Liu Qing took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and there was no discouragement in his eyes.

Seeing his son like this, Liu Shan Liu Shan nodded with relief. He glanced intently at the night sky and said in a deep voice:

"There's another point that can't be ignored: the woman beside him is also quite extraordinary. I can sense that her strength is no weaker than Xiao Tian's. Although she doesn't talk much, her words and actions reveal that she has a powerful background, possibly even from a force of the Burning Flame Valley level."

Therefore, please treat us well these days and do not neglect us.

"Qing'er understands!" Liu Qing nodded heavily.

He suddenly remembered that when the Black-Corner Region invaded Jia Nan Academy, the most powerful leader who led the Free and Unfettered Hall to provide support was said to be one of Xiao Tian's women.

However, considering Xiao Tian's strength and appearance, it's only natural that he would attract the hearts of some outstanding women. If I were a woman, I would naturally choose someone like Xiao Tian as my ideal partner.

Xiao Tian: Brother, there's no need for such a metaphor!!

After arranging a guest room for Xiao Tian, Liu Fei led the three people in Xuan Yi to the guest room next to Xiao Tian's.

Xiao Ling and Xuan Yi usually sleep together, so when the guest room was arranged this time, they were going to sleep with Xuan Yi as well.

"Do you think this room is alright?" Liu Fei asked Xuan Yi as she pushed open the door.

She stared at the stunningly beautiful woman in Xuan Yi, her mature and intellectual aura, and couldn't help but be stunned, her eyes filled with envy.

"This is fine." After looking around, Xuan Yi nodded in satisfaction, finding the room very clean and tidy.

"I'm glad you're satisfied." Liu Fei flipped her hand, and a jade card appeared in her palm. "This is our Liu Family's exclusive jade card. With this card, you can purchase any item for free at any shop marked with the Liu Family logo."

Xuan Yi did not refuse the other party's offer and took the jade card. As for the card, she had no intention of using it. With her own assets, she could easily buy all the goods in the shops of Tian Huang City.

"Then I won't bother you any longer." Seeing that the other party had accepted the jade card, Liu Fei smiled, gave a graceful slight bow, and then chose to leave.

In one of the guest rooms of the Liu Family, Xuan Yi couldn't help but smile as he watched the two little girls rolling around and playing on the bed.

"Thump thump!!"

There was a knock on the door.

Hearing the knock, Xiao Ling and the other girl stopped their playful fight and looked towards the door. Xiao Tian Xuan Yi, Xiao Tian up, went to the door, opened it, and asked, "Why are you here?"
