Xiao Yao and Xiao Lie returned home, and because Xiao Yao laid down the "Bagua Lock Dragon Array", they snatched back the dragon veins of the Xiao family's mine. Not only did the output of the yuan stone in the mine recover as before, but the quality of the yuan stone also increased a lot, which made Xiao Lie very happy. His brow stretched out again.

What makes him happiest is not these, but Xiao Yao's performance today, in his heart, he has regarded Xiao Yao as a person of the apocalypse. The hopes of the Xiao family are pinned on them.

Up and down the Xiao family, the eyes of those guards looking at Xiao Yao also changed. Xiao Yao used to have a wooden temperament and low cultivation, and they looked at Xiao Yao with a little disdain in their eyes. But looking at Xiao Yao's eyes now, he replaced disdain with awe. The output of the Xiaojia mine was not good, and their monthly cases were also affected. Since Xiao Yao built eight stone platforms on the mine, the output of the mine has increased, and their monthly income has increased a lot, and what makes them even happier is that the quality of the yuan stones sent to their hands this month is much better than before.

"Young master early!"

When Xiao Yao was walking in the courtyard, a guard greeted him, and the guard's tone was respectful. Xiao Yao nodded at the guards, and said that people only respect those who are capable, and it seems that this is appropriate anywhere.

"Young master, the head of the family called you to discuss in the hall. ”

Since returning from the mine last time, Xiao Lie's attitude towards Xiao Yao has also changed drastically. The big and small affairs in the family will let Xiao Yao participate.

Xiao Yao came to the hall and found that his father was already waiting there.

"Here, sit down. He nodded at Xiao Yao, motioned for him to sit down, and then turned to a middle-aged man next to him and said, "Xiao Zhong, what are you in a hurry about today? Is there something wrong with the mine again?"

This Xiao Zhong is the steward of the Xiao family, in his early forties, and he is already a fifth-level cultivator in the Casting Realm. He manages the Xiao family's mines and procurement, and his status in the Xiao family is not low, although he is a subordinate of the Xiao family, Xiao Yao has to be called "Uncle Zhong" when he sees him.

"There is no problem in the mine, and now the production of yuan stone in the mine has increased by three points compared to before, thanks to the young master. ”

Speaking of the mine, Xiao Zhong's face was happy, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Yao with a strange look in his eyes. "It's just that there was a problem with the procurement side for the next quarter. Xiao Zhong's expression turned into joy.

"What difficulties do you have, just say, is it not enough Yuanshi?"

"It's not Yuanshi's problem, this time I went to the Lu Family Trading House to purchase the Qi Gathering Pill for the next quarter, but the shopkeeper said that they don't have so many Qi Gathering Pills. I saw that there was still a large amount of Qi Gathering Pill inside, so I asked him why he didn't sell it to us. The shopkeeper said that it was for the Qin family and the Yan family. If we want to gather Qi Pill, we have to wait for the next batch. I asked how long the next batch would be, and he said he didn't know. I think they don't want to sell the Qi Gathering Pill to our Xiao family. ”

"How can it be!"

Xiao Lie was furious and slapped his palm on the table. The Xiao family was the biggest customer of the Lu family, and every time they wanted to buy the Qi Gathering Pill, the Lu family would prepare it in advance. Unexpectedly, this time it was suddenly not sold to the Xiao family, but sold to the Qin family and the Yan family first, which clearly bullied their Xiao family.

"We don't have much Qi Gathering Pill in stock, if we can't buy Qi Gathering Pill anymore, it will be difficult for the family to spend on it. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhong's face was sad: "Why don't you let Mrs. go to Lu's firm to give it a try, after all, she ......"

"No way!"

Xiao Lie waved his hand and rudely interrupted Xiao Zhong's words.

"Hey. ”

Xiao Zhong had no choice but to sigh, lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Go down, I'll figure it out. ”

Xiao Lie frowned and began to think of a solution. Without the Qi Gathering Pill, the speed of the Xiao family's upper and lower cultivators would be much slower. This is undoubtedly a huge conundrum.

If you want to get the Qi Gathering Pill, in addition to purchasing it from the Lu Clan's Commercial Bank, you can only rely on the alchemist. The Xiao family did not have an alchemist, so they could not refine the Qi Gathering Pill. Not to mention that the Xiao family does not have an alchemist, there is only one alchemist in Yishui City, and that is the medicine master of the Lu family's firm. The medicine master is a member of the Lu family's trading house, and he will definitely not help the Xiao family. Thinking of this, Xiao Lie's face became even more solemn.

Xiao Zhong left, Xiao Yao heard Xiao Zhong mention his mother and the Lu family firm, Xiao Lie's face was a little unnatural, and he was a little curious: "Father, what is the relationship between my mother and the Lu family firm?"

Xiao Lie's face changed, he pondered for a long time, and sighed: "Hey, you will know about this sooner or later, so I'll tell you now." ”

Sixteen years ago, there was no Xiao family in Yishui City. At that time, Yishui City was still under the control of the Qin family and the Yan family. At that time, Xiao Lie was just a small guy in the Lu family firm. And Xiao Yao's mother, Lu Panning, is the daughter of the shopkeeper of Lu's firm, and the two have fallen in love with each other for a long time. She has an older brother, Xiao Yao's uncle, named Lu Xing. Lu Panning has shown good business talent since he was a child, while Lu Xing has mediocre talent.

The shopkeeper Lu was frail and sickly, and he knew that his time was short, so he wanted to finalize the successor as soon as possible. He intended to hand over the Lu family firm to Lu Panning, who was extremely talented, but thinking that she was a daughter after all, he fell into hesitation for a while.

At that time, the Lu family firm was temporarily managed by Lu Panning, but one day, the treasure of the town store in the firm, the star level of the Xuandan "Breaking the Forbidden Pill" disappeared. The Forbidden Breaking Pill can increase the probability of a nine-fold acquired peak powerhouse in the three-point Casting Realm breaking through the realm and becoming an innate powerhouse, and only an alchemist in the innate realm can refine it.

When the shopkeeper Lu saw that his children had lost the treasure of the town store, he was very angry. Later, within a few days, the missing Forbidden Pill was found by Lu Xing, and the shopkeeper Lu was overjoyed, so he handed over the Lu family firm to his son Lu Xing.

Soon after, the old shopkeeper died, and Lü Xing took over the Lü firm. Lu Panning had no intention of arguing with her brother, and after her brother became the shopkeeper of the Lu family's firm, she handed over everything to Lu Xing and became an idler. The falling flowers are unintentional, but the flowing water is intentional. Although Lu Panning was just an idler in Lu's firm, Lu Xing always regarded her as a potential threat. tried all kinds of ways to drive Lu Panning out of the Lu family's firm.

Xiao Lie couldn't bear to be wronged by Lu Panning in the firm, so he took Lu Panning out of the Lu family firm and took root in Yishui City. With his extraordinary talent for cultivation, his cultivation soared all the way. used his fists to create a world in Yishui City and established the Xiao family. The Xiao family pouted all the way, faintly overpowering the Qin family and the Yan family, the old forces in Yishui City.

"Over the years, the well water of my Xiao family and the Lu family firm has not violated the river water, but they have been safe. Now that such a situation has appeared, it seems that there must be something strange in it. Someone is going to target my Xiao family!"

It is worthy of Xiao Lie, who started from scratch and built a world in Yishui City, after a little thought, he thought that this matter was not simple.

"Well, when I came back from Fengyue Tower a few days ago, I was assassinated!"

Xiao Yao told Xiao Lie about the attack on a rainy night, and after Xiao Lie heard it, he was first furious, and then calmed down and connected the recent events.

Xiao Yao was injured by Qin Yang, almost ruined the dantian, and abolished his path of cultivation, but fortunately, Xiao Yao was a person of the apocalypse, so he escaped the catastrophe. and Xiao Yao was attacked on a rainy night, if it weren't for the help of the masters, the only incense of the Xiao family would have been cut off. Immediately afterwards, there was an accident in the Xiao family's mine, and now the supply of the Xiao family's Qi Gathering Pill has been interrupted.

This series of events undoubtedly pointed the finger at the Xiao family, and it also pointed to the key points of the Xiao family, and wanted to shake the foundation of the Xiao family. And behind these things, there is a faint shadow of the Qin family.

He synthesized these things, and it boiled down to one point, that is, the Qin family did not have an innate powerhouse, and he was about to step into the innate powerhouse, which had already made the Qin family restless.

Qin family, it seems that you can't sit still anymore!

Xiao Lie shot two sharp flashes in his eyes, got up and walked towards the backyard.

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere!"
