Chapter Fifty-One: Peace of Mind

  As I approached the heavily fortified gate, a dozen or so expressionless guards stood firmly at the entrance. At the corner of the gate, an emotionless old man sat upright in his chair, holding a pen and a thick notebook.

  At this time, in front of the old man, there were many tribesmen lined up, and all the tribesmen took out the Dou Qi Gong Fa they had found on their bodies, and after the old man registered them, they squeezed out from the small gap under the cold gaze of more than a dozen guards.

  This was one of the procedures in the Battle Spirit Arena. Before entering the arena, Xiao Yan and the others had been informed in detail, so they didn't feel unexpected at this moment.

  The kung fu in the Dou Qi Pavilion was collected by the Xia family for generations, and these kung fu were almost the foundation of the Xia family's foothold in Wutan City, so the family had extremely strict protection measures.

  The materials used by Xiao Yan and others to narrate the Taoist scriptures were cast from a special kind of ink bamboo. This bamboo is divided into two bodies, the mother body and the child body. The mother body is only the size of a palm, but the child body can extend for tens of meters around it. The Taoist scripture scrolls cast from this material will be sensed by the clan leader as long as they hold the mother body in their hand, so any Taoist scriptures that leave the monitoring range of the mother body will be detected.

  The monitoring range of the mother body ink bamboo in the clan just happens to include the entire Xiao family, so these skill scrolls will be discovered as soon as they leave the Xiao family. Of course, nothing is absolute, and some powerful people can also forcibly cut off this feeling. However, at this level of strength, who would have nothing better to do than come and rob some low-grade skills...

  After waiting for a while in the queue, it was finally Xiao Yan's turn. He walked forward and took out the scroll of cultivation method from his bosom and handed it over to the old man.

  He took the dark red scroll handed over by Xiao Yan, and the old man was slightly stunned. He glanced at Xiao Yan and muttered to himself: "This 'Fire Refining' defense cover seems to have a strength of nine segments of Dou Qi? How did this kid get it? Indeed, he has some foundation."

  After registering the method, the old man returned it to Xiao Yan and reminded him faintly: "You should know the rules, right? The method cannot be taken out of the family, otherwise there will be severe punishment! One year later, return the Dou Qi method. It must not be damaged."

  Xiao Yan nodded casually and leaned against the gate, waiting for Xun Er's registration.

  Facing Xiao Yan, Xun Er smiled lightly and stretched out her snow-white wrist, handing over her own technique.

  Upon seeing Xun Er standing in front of him, the old man's expressionless face revealed a rare hint of a slightly respectful smile. He took over the scroll with both hands and quickly registered it.

  Standing beside, looking at the old man with a greatly changed attitude, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers habitually curled up lightly. From the fact that this old man can manage the Dou Qi Pavilion, a forbidden place, it can be seen that his position in the family will not be lower than that of the three elders.

  Xiao Yan had also heard of the old man's reputation in the family, Cold-faced Xiao Can. This old fellow, even if he were his own father, would never give him any face when speaking to him, with a cold and icy expression, as if his muscles had frozen up.

  However, this cold-faced man who wouldn't even be noticed by the head of the family was so respectful in front of Xun Er, which really made Xiao Yan's heart feel more curious about Xun Er's identity.

  He rubbed his nose, remembering Yun'er's silence every time she mentioned her identity. Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly and looked up at Yun'er who was walking towards him with a smile on her face. He shrugged and the two of them squeezed out of the gate together.

  Out of the crowded gate, Xiao Yan took a few deep breaths of fresh air. The air in the Dou Qi Building was really too stifling.

  "How are you, Yan Er?"

  As soon as Xiao Yan and the others came out, a figure slowly walked over, gazing at the gate with a smile on his face, asking in a low voice.

  Looking at his smiling father with a tilted head, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded, with a dark red scroll exposed under his sleeve, lightly saying: "It's settled."

  Seeing that faint red color, Xiao Zhan finally let out a breath of relief, smiled with narrowed eyes and said in a low voice: "It's good to have it in hand."

  Xiao Yan and his father exchanged a glance, and both of them let out a pleased laugh at the same time.

  He stretched out his broad palm and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, Xiao Zhan laughed: "Now that the method is in your hands, after you become a Dou Zhe, you can truly cultivate Dou Qi."

  Xiao Yan nodded with a hint of a smile, his hand in his sleeve touching the scroll, his eyes narrowing slightly as he whispered to himself: "Hmph, I wonder what's so special about that technique Master mentioned? Can an evolving technique really exist?"

  "Even more bizarre than the Tianjie Merit Method..." Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile wryly as he recalled the arrogant words of Yao Lao that day. The most top-notch merit method he had ever seen was indeed the Mysterious Flame Technique, a high-level technique from the Xuanjie stage, which Xun Er had taken out earlier. To be honest, when he refused it at that moment, his heart had struggled for a brief moment, after all, this level of merit method was something that could be encountered but not sought after.

  He rubbed his forehead with the palm of his hand, to be honest, he suddenly regretted refusing Xun Er's kindness now, but since the words had already been spoken, he didn't have the face to ask for it again. So at this point, he could only pray in his heart that Medicine Old wasn't playing a trick on him, otherwise, his face would really be lost big time.

  "Hmph, the Mystic Realm is just a higher level, what's there to be reluctant about? Although that little girl's identity isn't ordinary, she still has a long way to go compared to my collection of cultivation methods." Just as Xiao Yan was praying, Yao Lao's cold hum suddenly emerged from his heart.

  "Finally came out..." Listening to the voice in his heart, Xiao Yan touched his nose, and the corner of his mouth slowly raised a satisfied arc. He said so much in his heart, wasn't it just to force this old guy to say something that would put people at ease?

  "Ah... you little fox, actually scheming against me..." Just as Xiao Yan's thoughts arose, Yao Lao finally became aware of it and couldn't help but sigh, saying: "Little guy, focus on your cultivation, don't worry about the method, it won't affect you, your future achievements won't be lower than that little girl by your side, her family isn't just..."

  Although somewhat regretful about the ambiguity of the last sentence, Xiao Yan smiled and nodded in agreement. Since there was a guarantee, the issue of face was finally resolved. Next, he should focus on rushing to the Dou Zhan, for only by becoming a Dou Zhan would he have the qualifications to roam freely in that vast world, as well as... search for Nalan Yanran, who made him "think day and night".

  I recommend a good new book "Dog God", stable updates, and the quality is not bad. Friends who are troubled by book scarcity can take a look, hehe. Welcome to collect and subscribe.
