Chapter 37
Xiao family.

At this moment, in the Xiao family hall, the patriarch Xiao Zhan and a group of Xiao family senior officials, plus some Xiao family disciples, all gathered together.

"From today onwards, I will enter a state of seclusion and will not come out until I break through the fighting spirit."

At the top of the list, Xiao Zhan looked around the hall and said with a serious expression.

After obtaining the Qi Gathering Pill, Xiao Zhan immediately returned to the Xiao family to arrange everything.

He knew that with the Qi Gathering Pill in his hands, the Jialie family and the Oba family would never leave him too much time.

In a short period of time, if he cannot break through the realm of fighting spirits, the Xiao family will face disaster.

"After I retreat, the three elders have to worry about all the big and small matters in the family."

As he said that, Xiao Zhan looked at the three old men sitting below, who were the three elders of the Xiao family.

"Clan leader, don't worry. With us here, the Xiao family will be fine." Hearing this, the three elders of the Xiao family said solemnly.

Although the few people argue endlessly on weekdays, it is a matter of life and death for the Xiao family, and the three elders naturally know which is more important.

"Yes." Xiao Zhan nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Password to the Xiao family disciples who are practicing outside, let them all return to protect the Xiao family."

Xiao Zhan was worried that during his period of seclusion, the Xiao family would not have a strong person to protect him, and the other two major families would take advantage of it.

"Yes." After hearing this, the three elders of the Xiao family naturally understood Xiao Zhan's plan and responded directly.

After a while, everyone in the Xiao family hall had dispersed, leaving only Xiao Zhan and a black cedar boy in the entire hall.

"Yan'er, my father is going into seclusion. You have to take care of yourself during this time."

In the hall, Xiao Zhan looked at Xiao Yan who was silent with a loving look on his face.

"Father, you can retreat in peace, I will be fine." The young man said with a complicated expression but firm eyes.

"Yes." Xiao Zhan nodded happily, and then took out a jade bottle from the ring.

"Yan'er, this is the Foundation Building Pill. It may be useful to you." The jade bottle in Xiao Zhan's hand contained the Foundation Building Pill bought from the auction.

At first, after hearing Ya Fei introduce the function of Foundation Establishment Pill, Xiao Zhan felt a move in his heart and wanted to beat his youngest son Xiao Yan.

He took a huge risk and spent [-] gold coins to obtain this Foundation Establishment Pill, all for the sake of his son.

Fortunately, with [-] gold coins, he finally defeated Gallebi and Obapa and successfully obtained the Qi Gathering Pill.

Otherwise, if the Qi Gathering Pill is taken away by the other two families, he will become the eternal sinner of the Xiao family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but feel grateful to Liu Yun.

If Liu Yun hadn't revealed some information in advance, he wouldn't have been able to prepare so many gold coins in a short period of time.

"Building Kidan?"

Looking at the jade bottle in Xiao Zhan's hand, a trace of doubt appeared on Xiao Yan's delicate face.

"My father saw this at the auction today, so he bought it for you. You can try to see if you can restore your talent." A smile appeared on Xiao Zhan's face.

"Yes." Xiao Yan responded lightly, and slowly took the jade bottle from Xiao Zhan's hand, feeling a touch of warmth in his heart.

"Father, thank you!" A rare smile appeared on Xiao Yan's usually cold face.

Although he has memories of his previous life, the father in front of him has doted on him in every possible way since he was born.

After he fell into despair, his favor increased instead of decreasing. Such behavior made Xiao Yan willing to call him father. "Yan'er, you are 14 years old this year."

Looking at Xiao Yan's somewhat childish face, Xiao Zhan suddenly fell silent, with a hint of bitterness on his face.

In the past few years, he has been trying to find ways to restore Xiao Yan's talent, but to no avail.

Coupled with the pressure exerted on him by the three elders, this made him feel a little nervous.

This time he spent 40 gold coins to buy this foundation-building pill, but he still kept it from the three elders, otherwise he would be in trouble again.

"Yes, father." After hearing Xiao Zhan's words, the smile on Xiao Yan's face immediately disappeared and he said in a deep voice.

"Every disciple of the Xiao family must hold a coming-of-age ceremony when they turn 16. In two years, it will be your turn to hold a coming-of-age ceremony." Looking at the silent Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan said helplessly.

"Coming-of-age ceremony!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and clenched his hands subconsciously.

When the two elder brothers held their coming-of-age ceremony, Xiao Yan was also watching. What did the coming-of-age ceremony mean to the Xiao family disciples in his mind?
As long as he has passed the coming-of-age ceremony, he will be disqualified from entering the Dou Qi Pavilion to search for Dou Qi techniques without any cultivation potential.

As a result, they were assigned to various properties of the family and took care of some ordinary things for the family. This was the family rule.

Even if his father is the clan leader, that cannot change!
"Yan'er, you have to remember that if you cannot cultivate to the seventh level of Dou Qi within two years, even your father will not be able to keep you in the family."

Having said this, a look of pain appeared on Xiao Zhan's face.

"After all, my father doesn't have the final say in this family. Those old guys are always waiting for my father to make mistakes..."

Looking at the calm Xiao Yan, Xiao Zhan sighed apologetically.

Looking at his tired father, Xiao Yan suddenly felt distressed.

Over the years, my father has done enough for himself.

Suddenly, Liu Yun's figure flashed in Xiao Yan's mind.

Thinking of the conditions Liu Yun proposed to him that day, Xiao Yan made up his mind completely this time.

"Father, you don't have to worry about me. Maybe my talent will suddenly return?" A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Xiao Yan suddenly said in a confident tone.

He believed that as long as his talent returned, with his peerless talent, he would definitely be able to break through to the seventh level of Dou Qi within two years.

"It would be best if your talent can be restored."

Xiao Zhan was naturally very familiar with Xiao Yan's details. Hearing Xiao Yan's words, he laughed at himself, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Father, I believe you will be able to successfully pass the coming-of-age ceremony!"

At this moment, the only hope in Xiao Zhan's heart lies in the foundation-building pill he just gave to Xiao Yan.

"Well, then, father, I'll go down first." Xiao Yan nodded, then slowly turned around and left the hall.

"Father, don't worry, my child will not let you down." Xiao Yan swore fiercely in his heart and walked firmly.

In the hall, Xiao Zhan took out the Qi Gathering Pill from the ring, with a look of determination on his face.

"Yan'er, if my father can break through the spirit-fighting realm in one fell swoop this time, he will definitely find a way to restore your talent."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhan's figure disappeared into the hall.

"The Galie family, the Oba family, I hope you can be more honest, otherwise the day I leave seclusion, your two families will be destroyed!"
