Chapter 35 Northern District's Bao City

  After leaving the Jing Ge, Xia Yan returned to his residence like a cat. At this time, the sky was already late, and Xiao Qing, who was wearing a light green long dress, had prepared a delicious meal waiting for Xia Yan. In the Jing Ge, Xia Yan was worried that Hu Ge Da Ren and Xia Zi Xin would continue to ask him about his practice of "Tian Gang Pi Li Zhang", so he hurriedly found an excuse to leave the Jing Ge.

  Xia Yan performed a set of "Tian Jie Pi Lei Palm" in the pavilion, consisting of eighteen palm techniques. This was unbelievable for a 15-year-old youth. The "Tian Jie Pi Lei Palm" is a human-level secret manual, and even those who have reached the peak of their cultivation would need to spend ten or eight years to fully comprehend it. And Xia Yan...

  After dinner, Xia Yan closed the door and practiced "Tian Yu Shen Gun" and "Tian Pi Li Lei Zhang" in his room. All 108 of Xia Yan's martial arts meridians had been opened up, and now he was able to perform these two human-level secret skills with both form and substance, his inner strength spreading throughout his body.

  However, Xia Yan wants to refine these two martial skills and merge them into the Ling Luo Sword, but he can't do it yet. Although Xia Yan's spiritual power has increased a lot after soaking in the medicine yesterday, he is still unable to merge refined human-level secret recipes.

  Just as Xia Yan was practicing two sets of human-level secret skills, the old Holy Emperor slowly emerged from the Ling Luo Seal, his eyes gleaming with spirit, his face slightly trembling as he stared at Xia Yan.

  In the Imperial Study, Sheng Huang Lao Tou naturally understood everything clearly. As for Xia Yan's ability to comprehend Wu Ji, Sheng Huang Lao Tou also highly praised him in his heart. It must be known that even with the Ling Luo Heart Method, if one's innate talent and comprehension ability are insufficient or lacking, they cannot achieve what Xia Yan did - simply glancing at the secret book once and being able to fully practice it in their mind.

  Upon seeing the Holy Emperor's old man appear, Xia Yan's face showed joy, and he hastily stopped his actions. The medicine concocted by the Holy Emperor's old man had an extremely powerful effect, and after using it for just one day, he could clearly feel the enormous changes occurring in his body.

  "Xia Yan, although the Ling Luo Heart Method can help you quickly learn any martial skill, you must have a clear mind. The unorthodox skills you learned a few days ago haven't been fully integrated yet, and now you've learned two more human-class techniques. This might put even greater pressure on your spirit!" The old emperor's whiskers fluttered slightly.

  Xia Yan hastily said: "I also know, don't worry, for a while I won't be able to learn new martial skills. The martial skills I learned on Jingwu Plaza, I have now merged four or five tenths, and in another three or four days, I will be able to fully merge them. After that, I will start merging the 'Tianyu Shengun' and 'Tiangang Biliuquan'!"

  In fact, Xia Yan was extremely intelligent and many things didn't need to be pointed out. Based on his own physical condition, he could make the correct judgment. After being slightly pointed out by the old Holy Emperor, Xia Yan knew even better what he should do.

  The old emperor nodded, his mouth suddenly curled into an absurd smile, and his eyes narrowed.

  "Isn't the effect of this peerless medicine I concocted quite good?" The Holy Emperor said with a tone of jest.

  Yesterday, when using the medicine for the first time, Xia Yan was in so much pain that she almost couldn't bear it. Although there was no more pain afterwards, the unbearable suffering at that moment was etched in her memory forever.

  When he heard the Holy Emperor say this, Xia Yan's whole body couldn't help but tremble again, and his eyes glared fiercely at the Holy Emperor.

  "Why didn't you tell me it would hurt so much when using that medicine?! I almost couldn't bear it and jumped out, if I had jumped out, wouldn't it be a waste of this expensive medicine?!" Xia Yan said with a grimace.

  In order to prepare this medicine, he is still in debt, owing a total of 1,500 gold coins to the Extreme Challenge Arena!

  "Haha, Xia Yan, you little scamp are really something else. Actually, I thought you wouldn't be able to hold on and would jump out of the bathtub, even if you did jump out it wouldn't matter, at most it would just waste a bottle of medicine. Haha, unexpectedly you actually held on, it's really rare." The old Holy Emperor laughed with his mouth open in delight.

  "Waste a bottle of medicine?" Xia Yan's eyes widened, saying: "I spent 1,210 gold coins to prepare twelve bottles of medicine, and this one bottle of medicine is worth more than 100 gold coins..."

  One hundred taels of gold is enough for a common family of three to use for several years.

  "You stinky little brat, you're useless! What's the point of this tiny dose of medicine?" The old emperor's eyes widened even further as he and the young one began to stare each other down. "Compared to the medicines we'll be concocting in the future, this amount isn't even a single hair on nine oxen... Hmph!"

  "Still need to prepare medicine?" Xia Yan's eyelids drooped, his mind racing, thinking of ways to make money quickly.

  The old emperor said, "Of course, after you've used up these twelve bottles of medicine, we'll have to prepare even more advanced medicine. Although the medicine prepared in this way can't be compared to the elixirs refined by spiritual masters, heh heh, but this is my own invention, and its efficacy... heh heh..."

  ………

  "Tribe leader!"

  In the courtyard of Patriarch Xia Fei Long, Great Elder Xia Lei hastily walked in with someone, just as Patriarch Xia Fei Long had returned home after handling official business.

  "Huh? What's wrong, Great Elder?" Xia Feilong looked at Xia Lei in surprise, and Xia Lei's face was now tinged with anger. Beside him stood a middle-aged man, ramrod straight with a sword at his waist, who didn't dare to glance sideways. Xia Feilong took one look at the man and recognized him as Xia Gesang, the head of the guards in the North District.

  "Tribe leader, there's something important, let's go in and talk about it?" Xia Lei looked at Xia Fei Long and said.

  Xia Feilong furrowed his brow, apparently it was indeed an important matter, otherwise Xia Lei wouldn't be so furious, and said: "Alright, let's go inside to talk."

  At this time, Xia Feilong had already vaguely guessed that it should be about the North District Fang City. Otherwise, how could the guard captain of Fang City appear here?

  Xia Fei Long sat down on the purple chair, letting Xia Lai and Xia Ge San sit down as well. However, Xia Ge San stood up straighter, refusing to sit down.

  "What's going on?" Xia Feilong waved his hand and asked immediately.

  "Clan head, that young master Xi Qiu Shui from the Xi family is really too much. He actually went to our Xia family's North District market and caused trouble. Today, he found some thugs in the market and said that our goods are of poor quality but with high prices, not even comparable to those in the South District market. This little scoundrel is really detestable!" Summer Lei angrily exclaimed.

  Xia Fei Long's face was stern, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "Is there such a thing? How did Xi Po Tian discipline his own son?"

  Xiqiu Shui is the son of Xipo Tian, and Xipo Tian is the head of the Xie family.

  "Head of the clan, that Xi Qiushui has a powerful expert by his side, with extremely formidable martial skills. I...I'm no match for him. Moreover, that Xi Qiushui didn't directly enter our shop, but instead had someone else come in to cause trouble!" Xia Gesan said, bowing his head and turning pale.

  As the head of the guards in Xiajia North District, he cannot ensure the safety of the way, and his responsibility is not small.

  Xia Feilong waved his hand and said in a low voice, "This matter is not your fault. That Xi Qiushui may be young, but he's clever and resourceful, far surpassing ordinary people. He must have made sufficient preparations before daring to cause trouble in our market. Great Elder, how do you think we should handle this?"
