Clan Fortune Embodiment, A New Chapter for the Xiao Family

Recalling the events of Battle Through the Heavens.

Xiao Yan felt that when he had the time, it was necessary for him to pay a visit to the Cloud Mist Sect.

Of course—

That was a matter for later.

The most pressing matter at hand was to first raise the strength of the entire Xiao Family.

"Clan Fortune Embodiment..."

Xiao Yan lowered his head to look at the seven-colored supreme entry on the system panel, a flash of fervor in his eyes.

With this heaven-defying entry, he could completely rely on the improvement of his clansmen's strength to make himself stronger!

The stronger the Xiao clansmen, the stronger Xiao Yan became!

The more numerous the Xiao clansmen, the higher Xiao Yan's cultivation would soar!

How could he possibly waste such a good thing?

As for how to improve the strength of the Xiao clansmen...

The fastest way, naturally, was to pile on the medicinal pills!

In the world of Battle Through the Heavens, the importance and potency of medicinal pills were simply absurd to the extreme.

Xiao Yan knew clearly in his heart—

In the original story, after Xiao Zhan was captured by the Soul Hall, he was actually force-fed pills by the Soul Hall until he broke through to become a Dou Huang!

From a cultivation level of only a Grand Dou Master, he was forcibly pushed all the way to a Dou Huang!

From this, it was evident that as long as there was a sufficient quantity, medicinal pills could truly make even a pig fly.

Furthermore—

The grade nine Emperor Pill could even develop sentience and transform into human form!

A peak Dou Sheng expert only needed a single Emperor Pill to break through to the Dou Emperor realm!

What kind of concept was that?

It meant that as long as there were enough high-quality pills, even if Xiao Yan just lay there without moving, he could make the Xiao Family's overall strength skyrocket!

And as the Xiao Family's strength soared, his own cultivation would rise along with it!

"Brilliant!"

The more Xiao Yan thought about it, the more he felt that the "Clan Fortune Embodiment" entry was tailor-made for him!

Of course, medicinal pills had side effects, namely that they could easily lead to an unstable foundation, making one's combat power a notch weaker than those who broke through normally.

But that was only under the premise of abuse.

As long as one took appropriate pills according to their physique and progressed step by step, medicinal pills were absolutely the best auxiliary means of cultivation!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan had a plan in mind.

He glanced at the storage ring in his hand...

Inside it were the massive quantities of pills, as well as numerous Dou techniques and cultivation methods, that he had obtained from the lottery last night.

Cultivating top-tier techniques and Dou techniques might require a certain amount of talent.

But medicinal pills were solid, hard currency!

"Father."

Xiao Yan turned around, walked up to Xiao Zhan, and handed over the storage ring.

"The Cloud Mist Sect may not let this go easily. Although they left with their tails between their legs today, given their style, they will likely find an excuse to stir up trouble."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the Xiao clansmen in the hall, and spoke slowly:

"The Xiao Family needs to improve its strength as quickly as possible to protect itself."

"There are some pills, cultivation methods, and Dou techniques in this ring. Take them and distribute them."

Xiao Zhan was slightly stunned and instinctively took the storage ring.

He hadn't paid much attention at first, assuming it was just a few ordinary pills to help the young people in the clan build a foundation.

After all—

Although Yan'er had Medicine Elder, an eighth-grade alchemist, as his teacher, alchemy required materials; one couldn't just conjure them out of thin air, right?

But when he carelessly probed his soul power into the storage ring—

"Hiss—!"

Xiao Zhan gasped, standing frozen in place as if struck by lightning!

Inside that ring, pills were piled up like a mountain!

At a glance, there were at least several thousand of them!

And—

The quality of these medicinal pills far exceeded his imagination!

The lowest were third-tier pills, while fourth and fifth-tier ones were visible everywhere!

There were even a few that emitted an astonishing medicinal fragrance...

Sixth-tier pills!

And even... seventh-tier?!

As for the Dou Techniques and cultivation methods within, they were enough to make even him tremble with fear... there was even a Heaven-tier one?

"This... this..."

Xiao Zhan's voice was trembling, his fingers gripping the storage ring tightly as if he feared it might fly away.

"Yan'er, how can this be!"

Coming back to his senses, he hurriedly shook his head in refusal, his tone urgent:

"Your talent is once in ten thousand years; you are the hope of our Xiao Family! These pills are so precious, they should be used by you so they aren't wasted!"

"How could this father sacrifice the greater for the lesser?"

Xiao Zhan's voice was firm, his eyes filled with sincerity.

He truly and genuinely thought this way.

In his eyes, Xiao Yan was the future of the Xiao Family!

As long as Xiao Yan could grow, the Xiao Family would naturally rise!

As for the others...

Although they were also of the Xiao Family bloodline, compared to Xiao Yan, they were far too inferior!

Seeing this, a warm current surged through Xiao Yan's heart.

This was fatherly love.

Not just empty words, but concrete actions.

He smiled slightly and said softly:

"Father, have you forgotten the status of my teacher?"

Xiao Zhan was stunned.

"An eighth-tier alchemist."

Xiao Yan laughed, his tone light and breezy.

"To Teacher, these pills are nothing more than little trinkets refined on a whim."

"I am not lacking in pills at all."

Xiao Zhan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found himself speechless.

That's right—

An eighth-tier alchemist...

What kind of concept was that?

In the entire Gama Empire, the highest-ranked alchemist was only sixth-tier!

An eighth-tier alchemist was a legendary existence!

For such a great power, refining these pills was likely as simple as eating or drinking water.

"And—"

Xiao Yan continued, his gaze sweeping over the Xiao Family members in the hall.

"What I have given is far from enough. Next, the Xiao Family must quickly acquire a large amount of medicinal herbs."

"I will have Medicine Elder teach the Xiao Family alchemy techniques, and I will also find people to help refine even more pills."

He looked at Xiao Zhan, his eyes filled with determination.

"Father, you must understand, from this moment on, the Xiao Family is no longer the Xiao Family it once was!"

"We no longer need to be timid or cautiously watch others' expressions to act as we once did!"

Xiao Yan's voice was not loud, yet every word was like thunder, exploding in everyone's hearts.

"We will let the entire Gama Empire know—"

"The Xiao Family is back!"

As his voice fell, the hall fell into a dead silence.

Everyone stared blankly at this youth, their eyes filled with shock and excitement.

Back...

The Xiao Family is back!

These three words—how many years had they waited for them?

Ever since the fall of the old clan head, Xiao Lin, the Xiao Family had begun to decline. From that day on, they had been waiting!

Waiting for someone who could lead the Xiao Family to rise once more!

And now—

That person had finally appeared!

Furthermore, Xiao Yan's talent far surpassed that of the old clan head!

"Good!"

Xiao Zhan slammed his hand onto the table and let out a hearty laugh, his tiger-like eyes shimmering with faint traces of tears.

"Good, good, good!"

He repeated the word three times, his voice trembling.

"It was my vision that was too short-sighted!"

"With Yan'er possessing such capability, my Xiao Family shall naturally rise with the tide!"

His gaze swept across the great hall, his voice booming like thunder.

"Let those in Wutan City who once looked down upon us see—"

"That my Xiao Family is not to be bullied!"

Having said this, Xiao Zhan said no more. He gripped the storage ring tightly in his hand and strode toward the center of the hall.

Seeing this, the several elders and other clansmen of the Xiao Family were also filled with irrepressible excitement.

The Third Young Master, Xiao Yan, had just said to let Xiao Zhan distribute the medicinal pills, rather than keeping them all for himself!

What did this mean?

It meant that they, the clansmen of the Xiao Family, also had a chance to obtain the pills!
