Xiao Yan's Gratitude, Another Astonishing Reward!

After returning to his room from the back mountain, Xiao Lei washed up briefly before going to bed to rest.

Nothing happened that night.

When the warm morning sunlight streamed through the window and fell upon the bed, Xiao Lei woke naturally.

After washing up, Xiao Lei left his room, intending to find something to eat.

As he opened the door, he saw Xiao Yan's slender figure quietly waiting outside.

He was also carrying a gray cloth bag in his hand.

"Good morning, Cousin Xiao Lei!" Seeing Xiao Lei come out, Xiao Yan stepped forward and greeted him.

"Good morning." Xiao Lei smiled, then asked, "You came to see me so early. Is something the matter?"

Xiao Yan lifted the gray cloth bag in his hand and said, "Some time ago, Cousin Xiao Lei lent me over a thousand gold coins. I came to repay you today."

Xiao Lei smiled. "I told you there was no need to rush."

"Although I know Cousin Xiao Lei isn't short of money, since I borrowed it, I naturally have to repay it." Xiao Yan handed the gray cloth bag to Xiao Lei, his expression earnest.

"Hehe, then I'll accept it." Xiao Lei chuckled and took the bag from Xiao Yan.

As he took the bag, he accidentally brushed against Xiao Yan's hand. At once, the system's familiar voice rang out in his mind again.

Ding! You touched Xiao Yan and obtained an Invisibility Cloak!

An Invisibility Cloak?

Hearing the system's reward, Xiao Lei's heart stirred slightly.

Yesterday, he had drawn the Secret Technique Clairaudience, and today he had received an Invisibility Cloak. It seemed the system's rewards were not limited to the world of Douqi!

The Secret Technique Clairaudience seemed to be one of the abilities of He Yiming, the protagonist of Martial God.

As for this Invisibility Cloak, it was basically identical to the one from Harry Potter.

Though these thoughts ran through his mind, Xiao Lei gave nothing away on his face.

"Cousin Xiao Lei, I'll go cultivate first," Xiao Yan said in farewell after handing him the bag of gold coins.

"Go ahead. If I'm not mistaken, the problem with your declining cultivation has already been resolved, and you've even made considerable progress, right? Then congratulations are in order!"

"Yes, and I have to thank Cousin Xiao Lei for lending me those gold coins." Xiao Yan was surprised that Xiao Lei had seen through him, but he still nodded in admission.

Xiao Lei smiled. "We are clansmen and brothers, so we should help each other. If you become capable in the future and I come to you for help, I trust you won't refuse, right?"

"If Cousin Xiao Lei ever has need of me, I certainly won't decline," Xiao Yan said seriously.

"So there's no need to be so polite." Xiao Lei smiled before adding, "If you need gold coins in the future, you can come find me anytime."

Although Xiao Lei had his own cheat and did not need to deliberately cling to anyone powerful, he was still happy to befriend Xiao Yan.

After all, this was the Flame Emperor, not some God King.

When they reached the Great Thousand World in the future, they could still fight side by side and conquer the Great Thousand World together!

"Mm, I will." Xiao Yan nodded gently, feeling deeply grateful toward Xiao Lei.

Back when he had been a genius, countless people in the Xiao Family had surrounded him. But ever since his cultivation had regressed, Xiao Lei was the only one who had remained as friendly toward him as before.

The lowest points in life were where one's true heart was tested most clearly.

Therefore, in Xiao Yan's heart, Xiao Lei had already become his best friend.

After watching Xiao Yan depart, Xiao Lei immersed his mind in the system and carefully examined the introduction to the Invisibility Cloak.

It could be activated with soul power. Once worn, it could conceal one's figure and evade detection through sight, aura, soul power, and other means.

The stronger one's soul power, the longer it could be used and the better its invisibility effect would be.

The only thing to note was that while moving, the cloak's swaying could easily reveal flaws, and it might be sensed by someone whose soul power surpassed that of the user.

It seemed to differ slightly from Harry Potter's Invisibility Cloak.

After reading the cloak's description, Xiao Lei thought to himself.

Still, this function was already incredibly powerful.

Especially since Xiao Lei's soul strength had already reached the Peak Mortal Realm. Within the Jia Ma Empire, aside from Yao Lao, he should have been the strongest.

Therefore, even while moving, he did not need to worry about being discovered.

It was a very good treasure.

Xiao Lei smiled faintly, greatly satisfied, though he was in no hurry to test it.

When the time came to wipe out the Jia Lie Family, he could test the Invisibility Cloak along the way.

With that in mind, Xiao Lei shut his door, found something to eat, then casually wandered around the clan. He also went to the training grounds and gave some pointers to the Xiao Family juniors in their cultivation.

Unfortunately, perhaps those Xiao Family juniors' luck was too low; he did not manage to draw even a single reward.

Seeing that there was nothing to gain, Xiao Lei did not stay any longer. He left the training grounds directly, thought for a moment, and went to find Xiao Zhan.

"Xiao Lei, what is it? Did you need something from me?" Xiao Zhan smiled when he saw Xiao Lei arrive.

Not only was Xiao Lei the Xiao Family's most outstanding genius, but he was also close to Xiao Yan. Xiao Zhan was very friendly toward him.

"This is the Profound Rank Advanced Skill Wind Scroll that I bought at the Mittel Auction House yesterday. I've already comprehended it, so I came to give it to the clan head."

Xiao Lei reached into his robes, retrieved a scroll from the System Space, and handed it to Xiao Zhan.

Hearing Xiao Lei's words and seeing the scroll in his hand, Xiao Zhan immediately became somewhat excited.

"Good child, I thank you on behalf of the family. Whatever request you have, you may state it. The family will certainly do its best to fulfill it."

Xiao Zhan took the skill scroll and spoke solemnly.

Ding! You touched Xiao Zhan and obtained one million gold coins!

Xiao Zhan had no idea that as he accepted the scroll, Xiao Lei had already gained a reward worth nearly twice as much as the scroll!

For the moment, Xiao Lei paid no attention to the system. After carefully choosing his words, he said, "Clan head, the cultivation method my master taught me is somewhat special. Comprehending different skills and drawing inferences from them can promote my cultivation."

"Therefore, I would also like to comprehend the Raging Lion Rampant Qi that you cultivate. Would that be possible?"

Xiao Zhan said heartily, "Of course. Even if those three old fellows knew of this, they would certainly support it."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhan directly took out an ancient-looking scroll from his Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Lei.

"Thank you, Clan Head." Xiao Lei accepted the scroll and touched Xiao Zhan's large hand once again.

Ding! You touched Xiao Zhan and obtained one Qi Enhancing Pill! Note: After consumption, it can increase one's Douqi cultivation to a certain extent!

Two rewards in a row—not bad!

And this Qi Enhancing Pill sounded quite good.

Hearing the system's familiar voice in his mind, Xiao Lei felt a small surge of delight.

"Take it back and comprehend it. This is the only skill the Xiao Family has that is worth showing off. Just be careful when you study it, and don't damage it."

Seeing that Xiao Lei seemed to be in a good mood, Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"Also, after you finish comprehending the Raging Lion Rampant Qi, you may go to the Douqi Pavilion and comprehend the family's other skills as well."

"Thank you, Clan Head. I'll head back first." Xiao Lei bid Xiao Zhan farewell, then turned and headed toward his residence.

After returning, Xiao Lei willed the scroll containing the Raging Lion Rampant Qi into the System Space, while taking out the Qi Enhancing Pill he had obtained from the draw.

"Let's see how much it can increase my cultivation!"

Xiao Lei sat cross-legged on the bed and murmured expectantly. Then, he placed the round pill, which gave off a strange fragrance, into his mouth...
