Inside the house, Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Jin, who was holding two crystals, and raised an eyebrow with a look of surprise on his face. Xiao Yan with a look of delight, handing over the crystals.
"Hehe, last time Brother Xiao Yan left the secret chamber in a hurry, and Long Lin was nearby, so it was a bit inconvenient, which is why it's been delayed until now."
Xiao Jin chuckled heartily, but a sly glint appeared in his eyes. Although he usually spoke with a childish air, he was quite meticulous. He was so frank with Xiao Yan now. Seeing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle as well, casually taking the two purple crystals from Xiao Jin's hand, his expression slightly surprised.
"This is..."
" Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, hehe."
Upon hearing Xiao Jin's words, Xiao Yan's expression froze. Staring at the two purple Spirit Stone in his hand, he was utterly shocked. These were true treasures that surpassed all other Spirit Stone, containing the purest and most abundant energy in the world. In Xiao Yan's previous understanding, these things were legendary, but he never expected to actually see them today, and in his own hands no less.
"This thing..."
Shocked, Xiao Yan quickly looked up at Xiao Jin. He knew the value of Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, but precisely because of this, he needed to understand their Spirit Stone. If it was Xiao Jin...
" Brother Xiao Yan, please don't worry. These Spirit Stone were given to me by my grandfather, the clan leader, but I don't really need them, so I've prepared them all for you. Right now, you need these things very much."
Seemingly sensing the worry in Xiao Yan's eyes, Xiao Jin grinned. Although his words were casual, Xiao Yan understood. How could a top-grade cultivation resource be useless? It was simply that the boy was thinking of him and was reluctant to use it. Thinking of this, a warm feeling welled up in Xiao Yan's heart. While training outside, he was constantly worried about his own safety and rarely thought of Xiao Jin, yet the latter always kept him in mind. This made him feel a pang of guilt.
"Keep the Spirit Stone, but whatever you do, don't tell Long Lin. That guy's always watching me, he won't let me leave his side for a second. He's so stingy, if he finds out, he'll probably tell Grandpa Clan Chief again."
Xiao Jin scratched his head, grumbling as he spoke. Xiao Yan smiled, understanding the Dragon Clan's intentions. Having Long Lin accompany Xiao Jin was simply to prevent him from getting into trouble. The fact that the Dragon Clan's patriarch entrusted Xiao Jin with top-grade cultivation resources like Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone was enough to show how much they valued Xiao Jin. However, saying all this now was pointless, after all...
"Since Senior Long Lin already knows, why are you standing outside and refusing to come in?"
Xiao Yan raised his hand and gently patted Xiao Jin's shoulder, then turned to face the door, respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said.
"Hehe, Mr. Xiao Yan, you're too kind. Xiao Jin considers you his elder brother, and I usually treat him like one too. Calling me 'senior' is a bit too formal. In the future, you can certainly call me by my name."
As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Long Lin Fruit stepped inside. Judging from his appearance, he had only just arrived. Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised by his words, glanced at Xiao Jin cautious Xiao Jin beside him, smiled, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Long Lin, and said:
"Brother Long Lin!"
The latter smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze back to Xiao Jin, saying with a somewhat wry smile:
"You brat, the clan leader gave you this Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone to help you quickly improve your cultivation so you could enter the Yuan Zong sooner. I never expected you to keep it for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin stubbornly pouted and retorted:
"It's nothing. The Spirit Stone were given to me by the clan leader, so I'll keep them. Besides, my cultivation has already reached the Yuan Zong, so I haven't let you down, have I?"
Upon hearing this, Long Lin smiled wryly. Although the boy's attitude was somewhat intense, what he said was true. Xiao Jin's advancement to the Six-Star Yuan Zong was already beyond their expectations. If the effects of the Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone were also excluded, then the talent that Xiao Jin had displayed was simply too terrifying.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, knowing the importance of the Spirit Stone. He then looked at the Long Lin again and said:
"In that case, I think it's best to take the Spirit Stone back, so as not to disappoint the clan leader's good intentions."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan was about to return the Spirit Stone in his hand to Long Lin, but the latter quickly waved his hand to stop him, and laughed:
"Brother Xiao Yan, there's no need for this. Xiao Jin is right. Now that his cultivation has reached the Yuan Zong, the clan leader can rest assured for the time being. Besides, the clan leader entrusted these Spirit Stone to Xiao Jin, so he should be the one to decide how to distribute them. Since he's giving Spirit Stone to you now, just accept them without worry."
Upon hearing Long Lin's words, Xiao Yan was about to say something more, but was stopped by Xiao Jin. After the latter insisted, Xiao Yan gratefully put the two Spirit Stone into his Storage Ring.
After receiving the Spirit Stone, Xiao Yan and Xiao Jin naturally had a long chat and reminisced. Long Lin excused himself and left, leaving the opportunity for the two of them. On the other side, Luo Jin followed Li Bingrui around like a puppy, grinning foolishly. This made some of the elders in the manor both amused and exasperated, yet also somewhat expectant. The manor lord Luo Cheng, was busy managing the affairs of the manor every day. Only in that secret room did Bai Hua, Lian'er, and the already deceased Xiao Yi Xian wait there in loneliness and solitude.
In the following days, Xiao Yan found Luo Jin and entrusted him with a pill formula. Although Xiao Yan had most of the required medicinal materials, he was still missing a few special key ingredients. Fortunately, he was now in the Heavenly Cloud Manor Heavenly Cloud Manor, with its vast resources and manpower, so finding these things was not difficult.
As for the pills described in the prescription, they are the sixth-tier pills that Xiao Yan prepared for devouring the Heavenly Flames: the Soul-Forging Pill.
In just one week, all the hundreds of medicinal herbs needed were collected. Moreover, just in case, three portions of each herb were prepared, which shows how much Heavenly Cloud Manor values Xiao Yan.
However, although he had collected all the medicinal herbs, Xiao Yan did not immediately start refining the medicine. After some hesitation, he first took out the two Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone Xiao Jin that Xiao Jin had given him.
