Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

In this battle between the Pill and Weapon Sect and the Xu family, the Xu family emerged victorious.

Although the Pill and Weapon Sect is a second-rate power, even stronger than most second-rate powers, it dares not easily touch the Xu family, after all, the Xu family is backed by the Spirit Moon Sect.

After this incident, no one in Lingyue City dared to covet the Xu family's elixirs.

The Xu family's Jubaozhai (Treasure Pavilion) also saw booming business due to the three improved versions of pills, bringing a steady stream of income to the Xu family and allowing family members to receive more cultivation resources, resulting in a surge in their cultivation speed.

This incident also served as a major warning to Xu Chu, an immortal being, causing him to lose sleep for several nights in a row.

"I was too careless this time. If they weren't after the pill formula but wanted to kill me, I would have died at Lin Moli's hands dozens of times already."

"We must be more careful in the future and avoid all dangers!"

At this point, Xu Chu's already steady personality evolved into one of cunning and shrewdness.

He wouldn't leave the Xu family unless there was a reason. Every time he left the Xu family, he would find a place to disguise himself and become a different person.

Before going to one place, you should at least circle around two other places three times.

Without a strong companion, I will absolutely not leave the city.

Be vigilant about everyone around you at all times.

In other words, no one is targeting the Xu family's alchemists now. If there were, even if the other six alchemists were to get into trouble, Xu Chu, the weakest among them, would not be harmed.

He's too cautious (or afraid of dying).

Xu Qingzhou, who discovered this by chance, understood his approach. After all, he was an immortal and would eventually be invincible, so it was right to be cautious.

.....

That day, Xu Luo suddenly found Xu Qingzhou.

"Sixth Uncle, I may need to go into seclusion for a while and would like to entrust Little Grey to your care," Xu Luo stated his purpose.

The Suanni Xiao Hui followed him closely. Now, most people in the Xu family knew that he had a lion spirit pet with horns, but no one knew that it was an ancient mythical beast; they just thought it was very intelligent.

Xu Qingzhou replied, "Okay, go ahead and break through."

Xu Luo, who was already at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, was fully prepared and ready to break through to the Profound Core Realm.

This is a significant leap from the basic three realms to the intermediate three realms.

Xu Luo, the reborn one, knew its importance, which is why he took it seriously. He even temporarily entrusted Xiao Hui, who had always followed him, to Xu Qingzhou to take care of it, so as to avoid disturbing him.

Now, besides his parents, the person he trusts most is Xu Qingzhou, so naturally he wants to entrust Xiao Hui to him.

Xu Luo patted Xiao Hui's head, "You must listen to your uncle and wait for me to come back."

As an ancient mythical beast, Suanni, Xiao Hui possessed a certain level of intelligence from birth.

In addition, Xu Luo has been nurturing it with all his might since it hatched, and he even gave it a portion of the Azure Dragon essence blood he obtained in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.

This also allowed Little Gray's strength to improve rapidly. In less than a year since it was hatched, its strength was already comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

Its intelligence is also very high; apart from not being able to speak, its intelligence is about the same as that of a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.

Little Grey obediently nodded, but there was still some reluctance in its eyes. It whimpered and rubbed against Xu Luo's hand, hoping that he would come back soon.

"How could I abandon you? I'll come back for you as soon as possible," Xu Luo said softly for a moment before leaving.

Xu Qingzhou's courtyard was very large, planted with many spiritual flowers, herbs, trees and fruits, including several rare plants that Su Xinyan had transplanted from her own cave.

Therefore, his yard was like a paradise, and Little Grey really liked this environment.

Now Little Grey is about the same size as a yellow ox and looks very majestic. Xu Qingzhou went up and rubbed its fluffy head.

"Don't worry about him. I'll treat you to the best food and drinks during this time."

Little Grey's large eyes were full of curiosity.

At noon, Xu Qingzhou prepared a sumptuous barbecue set meal. All kinds of ingredients and seasonings were carefully prepared by him and were perfected after two years of research and improvement.

In addition, Xu Qingzhou cultivates fire-attribute martial arts techniques, which make grilling meat twice as effective, and he doesn't have to wait too long.

"The roasted lamb leg is ready, Little Grey, take it."

Xu Qingzhou tossed a large roasted lamb leg into the air, and Xiao Hui, who had been drooling, stepped forward, took a bite, and finished it off in no time.

Xu Qingzhou is treating it like he's raising a dog.

After Xiao Hui finished eating, it stared longingly at Xu Qingzhou, its eyes filled with anticipation.

It thought to itself.

This is so delicious! Compared to this, the pig slop I used to eat with my owner was awful!

Those are just enough to fill your stomach, but this is true delicacy!

Master, you don't need to rush back to pick me up. I want to stay with Uncle for a few more days.

If I keep eating this for a few more days, I'll probably start saying, "Master, please don't come looking for me, I'm afraid my uncle will misunderstand."

Xu Qingzhou laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll let you eat your fill today."

Seeing Xiao Hui's longing look, Su Xinyan smiled.

"This monster is only at the Nascent Soul Realm, but its intelligence is comparable to that of the Profound Core Realm. It's quite special."

Xu Qingzhou, who had nothing to hide from his wife, said, "It's not just special, it's an ancient mythical beast called Suanni."

"Huh?" Su Xinyan stared in astonishment, her mouth agape, forgetting to put down the chopsticks she was holding in the air.

She had read about the ancient mythical beast Suanni in ancient books, but she never expected to see a live one today.

"Wasn't it extinct? Where did Xiao Luo find it?"

She remembered that according to ancient records, the last time the Suanni appeared was ten thousand years ago.

Xu Qingzhou briefly recounted the events of the last Wanbaoge auction.

Su Xinyan disliked joining in the fun, so she didn't attend even a large auction held right outside her own home.

"It's a pity there's only one. If we could find another one to pair with, maybe in the future the Xu family could have an ancient mythical beast pet for every member."

Xu Qingzhou was both amused and exasperated.

"You'd be lucky to have even one; you really dare to dream."

However, you can tell from her words that she has now begun to consider things from the Xu family's perspective.

Xu Qingzhou casually tossed the freshly roasted large beef leg to Xiao Hui, who then began to devour it with gusto.

And so, Little Grey temporarily stayed in Xu Qingzhou's courtyard.

Every day there were all kinds of delicious food, and Little Grey ate to his heart's content, doing nothing but eating and drinking.

This is life!

It was large and had thick fur; Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan could even use it as a cushion—it was soft and warm.

Occasionally, when they ate too much, Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan would ride it around the top of Chaoxia Peak a few times to digest their food.

The family of three lived happily together.

Xu Luo's seclusion this time is not only to break through to the Profound Core Realm, but also to break through the cultivation technique he is practicing.

Therefore, he secluded himself for more than a month before it ended.

The moment Xu Luo emerged from the customs, he went to find Xu Qingzhou, wanting to take Xiao Hui away.

Xu Qingzhou called out.

"Little Grey, your master is here."

Little Grey, who was dozing in the pavilion in the backyard, woke up when he heard Xu Qingzhou's voice, ran to Xu Qingzhou's side, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Why are you calling me before it's even mealtime? Do you want an extra meal?
