"Xiaoqing, are you cooking?" Xia Feilong saw Xiaoqing and showed a smile, looking very kind. 【】

"Yes, Brother Xia Yan just came back from outside and hasn't eaten yet, so I made some. Xiaoqing replied politely.

"Oh, that's it!Xia Yan, why don't you eat first, and we'll talk about this later?" Xia Feilong paused and tried to say to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan shook his head, "Let's ask first, I'll let the earth dog come out." ”

"How do you ask?" said Grand Elder Xia Lai, with a curious face on his face.

Not only was the Great Elder Xia Lai puzzled, but the rest of the people were also very surprised. However, Xia Yan obviously wouldn't say such things casually, and couldn't help but look forward to seeing what Xia Yan was going to do.

"You'll find out later, a dirt dog is no ordinary dog. Xia Yan smiled and said.

"Earth dog, come out!" Xia Yan shouted to the right wing.

The earth dog hid in the wing, heard Xia Yan's shout, reluctantly let out a low bark, and walked out of the room with some twists, his four hooves walked very slowly on the ground, drooping his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and a pair of green and gloomy eyes secretly glanced at Xia Yan and Xia Feilong and others from time to time.

Seeing the earth dog like this, Xia Yan said in his heart, "Could it really be that the earth dog took those pills?"

"Earth dog, have you eaten all the pills in the Jing Pavilion?" Xia Yan immediately looked at the earth dog and asked.

The earth dog raised his head and looked around, as if he wanted to divert his attention or act as if he hadn't heard Xia Yan's question.

Seeing this, Xia Yan was even more suspicious in his heart, if it wasn't for the earth dog to eat, the earth dog would definitely shake his head immediately.

"You guy, answer my question honestly!" Xia Yan kicked the earth dog.

"Whew!" the earth dog immediately lowered his head pitifully.

"Say, did you eat those family pills?" Xia Yan asked again.

"Woo!" the earth dog nodded and lowered his head to the ground.

"Are you really eating? Those pills have been eaten by you? There, there are more than two hundred, what are you doing with so many pills?" Xia Yan couldn't help but take a breath, he was also surprised.

Why does the earth dog eat so many pills?

"Woo~"

The earth dog nodded its head, its paws tugging on the ground, Xia Yan looked at its meaning, saying that he couldn't help it and ate it all.

Xia Feilong and several elders all watched this scene, and they were all shocked in their hearts. They didn't expect that this earth dog would be able to understand what Xia Yan said.

You must know that even if it is a spirit animal, it cannot directly hear human language, unless it is a trained spirit animal. Although spirit animals are intelligent, they do not understand human language.

And this earth dog can fully understand Xia Yan's words, which is really weird.

"Patriarch, elders, the elixir is indeed eaten by earth dogs. Xia Yan was a little sorry, "These pills, I will try my best to refine them in a short time." By the way, Patriarch, I will write down the medicinal materials I need in a while, and you tell someone to prepare them, and then prepare an alchemy Ding furnace. Xia Yan thought for a moment and continued.

This elixir must be refined as soon as possible.

"The twelve bottles of spiritual liquid I refined last time are still there, right?" Xia Yan thought of the spiritual liquid.

The spiritual liquid needs pipa grass, which is not easy to find, and it is not sold in Yushui City, and it needs to be collected in the misty valley. Moreover, last time Xia Yan searched around the Misty Valley, he only found two.

"The spiritual liquid is all there, but there is still a bottle left, Xia Liu, he is about to break through to the spirit master, I discussed with several elders, and decided to reward him with a bottle of spiritual liquid to make him have a better chance of breaking through the spirit master realm. Xia Feilong's eyes flashed.

"Well, if Xia Liu can break through, then the strength of our Xia family can be increased a lot. Xia Yan nodded and smiled, if Xia Liu broke through, of course he would be happy. If Xia Liu breaks through to the Spirit Master realm, then after a period of time, he will be able to stabilize his strength, and he may be able to get a deacon position in the Holy Hall.

Xia Yan looked at the earth dog again, "Hmph, you guy has taken so many pills, I'll settle accounts with you in a while!"

"Woo!" the earth dog barked aggrievedly.

.................................................................. "Patriarch!"

At this moment, a guard outside arrived in front of the courtyard gate and said with a respectful salute.

"What's the matter?" Patriarch Xia Feilong turned around and asked casually, this guard is Xia Feilong's personal entourage, and he is also a direct descendant of the Xia family, and he is also relatively close to Xia Feilong.

"Just now Xia Kui came in to report that there was an old man in black with a cloak on his head outside the door of the mansion, claiming to be a friend of the hall master Xia Yan, and he wanted to see the hall master and the patriarch!" said the guard bowed his head.

Xia Kui is one of the guards who are on duty outside the door.

"Oh?" Xia Feilong was slightly stunned, the man in black cloak?

"Could it be that he is here?" Xia Yan thought of the cloaked man, his heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "Patriarch, let this person in." ”

Seeing Xia Yan so solemn and eager, Xia Feilong immediately waved his hand at the guard and said, "Invite him in." ”

"Yes, Patriarch!" the guard immediately turned and left.

"Xia Yan, do you need to greet you?" Xia Feilong looked at Xia Yan again and said tentatively.

"Well, it's time to go and greet you. If it's really him......" Xia Yan said this, and did not continue, but turned around and said, "Xiaoqing, I will come back for dinner after I finish dealing with things later." ”

"Okay, Brother Xia Yan!" Xiaoqing said with a smile and a crisp voice.

The group walked from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, and then walked to the direction of the main entrance of the Xia family's house.

After half a tea time, Xia Yan and the others saw that the guard had already walked over with a man in black. In the distance, Xia Yan saw the familiar black-clothed cloak.

"It's really him!" Xia Yan couldn't help but shake in his heart.

This kind of spiritual vibration is involuntary, and Xia Yan can't control it. Although Xia Yan had only met this person twice, the mystery of this person left a deep impression on Xia Yan.

When he was in the Forest of Sin, this man knew about the existence of the illusory realm, but did not enter the illusory realm. Moreover, he also said that he did so much because of the favors he owed.

"Hehe, Patriarch Xia Feilong, Elders! Xia Yan Hall Master!" the cloaked man walked close to everyone and greeted everyone in a low voice.

Xia Feilong and several elders all responded with their fists clenched, and looked at Xia Yan again. Xia Yan knew this person, and they didn't know each other.

"What should we call you?" Xia Yan thought for a moment and asked.

"Title—" The Cloaked Man paused, seemed to think for a moment, and said, "Just call me the Cloak Man, I can't remember my name." It's been too long, and my head is a little inflexible. ”

"Cloaked man?" Xia Yan frowned slightly, and then stretched out again, "You must have something to say today, right?

After Xia Yan finished speaking, he looked at Xia Feilong.

"Yes, go to the meeting hall, this is not the place to talk. Xia Feilong said with a smile.

"Whatever you want!" said the cloaked man's deep voice.

Everyone, come to the meeting hall. Xia Feilong asked the servant to serve tea, the cloak man sat down with the Xia family, and Xia Yan sat opposite the cloaked man.

"What is the matter with you coming here?" asked Xia Yan.

"Strengthen the Xia family!" the cloaked man said briefly, but the meaning was clear.

Strengthen the Xia family!

"Huh?" Xia Feilong, along with several other elders, were all taken aback. What does this mean?

"How to grow?" Xia Yan was not surprised, but was a little strange, why did the cloaked man say this?

"First, improve the personal strength of the Xia family's children, so that the Xia family will gradually become stronger in martial arts and dominate one side. Second, let the Xia family's business on the mainland be bigger, if there is something irreplaceable in the Xia family's business, it is not difficult to do. Third, remove all obstacles that hinder the development of the Xia family and help the Xia family dredge the road to the future. ”

The cloaked man spoke word by word, his voice low but clear in his voice.

"Senior, why are you doing this?" Xia Yan asked after a deep sigh.

He didn't doubt that the cloaked man had this strength, and the person who could come and go in front of him without a trace, so far apart from the Holy Emperor, this cloaked man was the second.

Xia Yan even suspected that the cloak man also had the strength of the Spirit Emperor realm. However, why did he still stay in the Dragon Continent? Xia Yan couldn't figure this out.

"A favor that has to be returned!" The cloaked man's eyes suddenly opened, and his essence flickered, and even his voice suddenly became much more powerful.

"You are willing to help our Xia family, of course we welcome it. Xia Yan nodded, "Perhaps, if you don't want to tell the reason in detail, I won't force you to ask." But I have a feeling that sooner or later, you'll tell me you really want to. ”

Xia Yan said slowly.

"Oh, maybe, but certainly not now. The cloaked man regained his demeanor and laughed dryly.

"Xia Yan, this ......" Xia Feilong still didn't understand.

Not only him, but the other Xia family elders haven't figured out what is going on yet. This cloak man said that he wanted to help the Xia family grow, but this thing is really a little weird.

Suddenly, a mysterious person appeared and said that he wanted to help himself be strong, but he didn't put forward any conditions, which is really hard to believe. But Xia Yan seemed to trust him very much.

"Patriarch, elders, if this senior wants to help our Xia family, then our Xia family will definitely rise to prominence in the future. Xia Yan looked sideways and looked at Xia Feilong and several elders of the Xia family with stunned expressions.

"Then ......" Xia Feilong had also seen the world, and immediately thought about it and said to the cloaked man, "What does this senior need us to do?"

"I will refine a large number of pills. Here is a list of medicinal herbs needed, take your time, from low to high. The cloaked man got up and took out a piece of paper from the placket of his robe, on which a large number of medicinal herbs were densely written.

"With these pills I have refined for sale, there will be no force in the Xia family's business that can interfere or take away from them. The cloaked man said conceitedly.

Xia Feilong personally took the paper and looked at Xia Yan during the free time, Xia Yan nodded to Xia Feilong.

"Senior, we will definitely do our best to find all the medicinal herbs you need. Xia Feilong looked at the materials on the paper and said solemnly.
