My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen knew very well that this relic originated from the death of a great monk in the era of cultivation. It not only contained profound Buddhist wisdom and compassion, but also contained terrifying energy. It was a rare treasure for the advancement of his immortal palace.

He carefully put it into the immortal palace in his body, as if he was performing a sacred ritual, his heart full of respect and gratitude for the sage.

When he surfaced again, Xiao Chen's face still maintained that calm and composed look, as if everything that had just happened was just a trivial episode.

However, he was already secretly thinking about how to use this relic and the auxiliary materials that might be found in the future to refine a relic elixir to help his immortal palace reach greater heights.

However, even Xiao Chen couldn't help but frown when he mentioned the collection of auxiliary materials. These three materials - Thousand Buddha Flowers, Bodhi Fruits, and Lingshan Stones - are all rare treasures in the world. Not only are they rare, but their unique growth environments and conditions make them more difficult to obtain.

The Thousand Buddha Flower needs to be in a place where the Buddha's light shines, and it will take thousands of years for it to bloom; the Bodhi Fruit is a rare fruit that grows in places with towering ancient trees and a gathering of spiritual energy; and the Lingshan Stone is buried deep underground and can only be seen by those with a destiny.

These materials are hard to find even in the secret realm of the ancient sea, let alone in the secular world where prosperity and noise are intertwined. Finding them is undoubtedly an extreme test of luck.

Xiao Chen's eyes swept across the lake, thinking secretly in his heart, but he did not show his worry. He knew that the path of cultivation was full of challenges and unknowns, and only by perseverance could one gain something.

At this time, the people on the shore had finished their feast. The aroma of snake meat seemed to still linger in the air, and the excitement on their faces was the best proof of this double gift of deliciousness and power.

There was an unprecedented light shining in their eyes, which was a desire for power and a longing for the future.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen smiled slightly. In that smile, there was both satisfaction with the changes in everyone and reluctance to part.

"Okay, everyone, today's picnic ends here. Remember, the power of the snake meat you eat needs to be properly guided before it can be transformed into your own use. I have sent the recipe for the medicinal bath to Liu Yue's mobile phone. When you go home, you must follow the prescription to prepare the medicine and practice together, so that you can completely refine the energy in the snake meat and integrate it into your body."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue immediately took out her mobile phone and carefully checked the prescription sent by Xiao Chen. A trace of excitement and gratitude flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly forwarded the prescription to everyone present. This convenience not only saved time, but also made everyone feel Xiao Chen's attentiveness and thoughtfulness.

As the prescriptions were distributed, everyone expressed their gratitude to Xiao Chen and promised to practice according to his guidance.

"Then Brother Xiao, we'll take our leave first. If you need us in the future, just let us know and we'll do our best." An older warrior spoke first among the crowd, his tone full of respect and gratitude for Xiao Chen.

The others followed suit, waving goodbye or saluting, making the scene warm yet solemn.

"Goodbye, everyone! Take care!" Xiao Chen responded with a smile, watching each of his friends go away until their figures disappeared at the end of the winding mountain road. His eyes showed both a slight reluctance to part and an expectation of meeting again in the future.

"Brother Xiao, see you later!" The voices of the last few young people, with youthful vitality and vigor, made Xiao Chen smile knowingly. He knew that these young faces would be an indispensable force in the future. With the echo of the last "goodbye", the hillside returned to tranquility, leaving only Xiao Chen and Sophie. The sun shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on them, adding a bit of warmth and peace to this quiet scene.

Sophie was concentrating with her eyes closed, immersed in cultivation. As a Dragon Blood Realm warrior, she had a special physique, and her ability to perceive and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth far exceeded that of ordinary people.

This snake meat is undoubtedly the icing on the cake for her, and can greatly promote the growth of her cultivation. There is a faint light flowing around her body, which is the spiritual energy circulating in her body, constantly nourishing her body and soul.

Xiao Chen sat quietly by the side, looking at Sophie tenderly. His heart was filled with love and care for Sophie, and he was also pleased that she had such an opportunity.

He gently folded his hands, closed his eyes and concentrated, protecting Sophie, ensuring that she would not be disturbed by the outside world during her practice and could absorb the essence of the snake meat with peace of mind.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, with only the breeze blowing, the rustling of leaves, and the occasional bird calls in the distance interweaving into a melodious movement. In this tranquility and harmony, Xiao Chen and Sophie seemed to be isolated from the world, with only each other left, guarding this rare peace and tranquility together.

……

In Haixi, a villa area gently embraced by the sunshine, the Bai family's mansion stands on the edge of the city, simple and solemn.

Bai Mingfa, one of the young and promising heirs of the Bai family, was standing in the courtyard in front of the mansion at this moment. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappled onto his face, reflecting his furrowed brow and slightly angry eyes.

He stared deeply at the four swordsmen in front of him. Although they were wearing the same tight-fitting clothes, they looked quite embarrassed at the moment: their clothes were ragged, covered with mud and blood, and they had obviously been through a fierce battle.

Bai Mingfa's voice was filled with a hint of worry and reproach: "You all have great skills, why did you choose to provoke the legendary giant python? Look at the state you are in now, how are you going to carry out the next mission?"

The leader of the Four Swordsmen, a man with a resolute face and sharp eyes, named Li Xunfeng, endured the pain, straightened his back, and said firmly: "Young Master Bai, please rest assured. Although we four swordsmen are not invincible, we must do our best to fulfill our promise. Although the giant python is strong, it was not able to defeat us. As for the mission of eliminating Xiao Chen, the four of us swear to complete it at our death to repay the Bai family's kindness."

Bai Mingfa's expression eased slightly when he heard this. He was well aware of the strength and loyalty of the Four Swordsmen, but he was displeased by their recklessness this time.

"That's good. I will entrust this matter to you. Xiao Chen is a cunning man with a powerful force behind him, so you must be careful. If you succeed, the Amei Group will not forget your contribution. Not only will you be generously rewarded, but you will also have the opportunity to break through your current realm and enter a higher realm of martial arts."

When saying this, Bai Mingfa's eyes were shining with expectation and trust. He believed in the strength and determination of the Four Swordsmen, and hoped that they could eliminate this great threat for the Bai family and himself. (End of this chapter)
