31: Become a useless person

The Mu Family had four Golden Core Realm powerhouses, while the Xiao Family only had the Xiao Family Head and the Xiao Family Grand Elder.

The strength gap between the two families was vast. If it weren't for Qinggang City prohibiting private fights, the Mu Family would have probably wiped out the Xiao Family long ago.

"Who dares to be presumptuous in the Xiao Mansion?" The Xiao Family Head coldly snorted, then appeared at the Xiao Family's main gate.

The Xiao Family Grand Elder and the rest of the Xiao Family members also appeared one after another, and even Qin Tian followed them out.

The Xiao Family Head was filled with Killing Intent towards Mu Li. His daughter had been ambushed by the Mu Family. If he weren't the Xiao Family Head and didn't have to consider the Family, he would have already gone to their door to kill them.

This bastard actually dared to come to their door now.

"Brother Xiao, as fellow Family Heads in Qinggang City, why are you filled with Killing Intent when my Mu Family comes to visit? Is this the Xiao Family's way of hospitality?" The Mu Family Head looked calm and composed.

The Mu Family's absolute strength allowed him to act with composure.

"The Mu Family ambushed my younger sister. I, Xiao Yan, will avenge this grudge sooner or later." Xiao Yan's eyes were gloomy, and one hand pointed at the Mu Family Head.

"Junior, don't speak nonsense without evidence. Your younger sister was carrying a valuable treasure and was robbed. You can't blame the Mu Family for that," the fat middle-aged man from the Mu Family chuckled. "Ambushes on Qinggang City residents violate city rules. If you have evidence, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to complain."

Although their three names were called out, they never showed their faces from beginning to end, so what could the Xiao Family do to them?

"Everything requires evidence."

Not to mention without evidence, even if there was evidence, what could they do? The City Lord's Mansion wouldn't meddle in disputes that occurred at the city gates.

The path of cultivation was full of struggles and fights. How could the City Lord manage everything? Most rules were just set up to stabilize the people's hearts and had never truly been enforced.

"Alas, second brother, it's just a threat from a Qi Refinement Stage good-for-nothing. Why bother?" The Mu Family Head chuckled. Xiao Yan was the hope of the Xiao Family, and stepping on the Xiao Family's hope was the only way to provoke the Xiao Family.

If the Xiao Family took the initiative to strike, that would be even better. The Mu Family could then take the Opportunity to resolve the Xiao Family.

"My young master has already obtained the precious Medicinal Pill mentioned by the famous master, and will recover soon. You Mu Family, just wait. With my young master's talent, your Mu Family will be finished in just a few years."

"Haha, who knows? What if this Medicinal Pill can't make him recover?" The Mu Family Head was not angry; instead, he laughed heartily.

"You'll know soon." Xiao Yan took out the Medicinal Pill. As a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill appeared, the scent of the Medicinal Pill instantly filled the air. A single fifth-grade Medicinal Pill had cost the Xiao Family their last savings.

Xiao Yan also felt uncertain, but in front of his enemies, he couldn't show weakness.

"Anyone can boast. This Medicinal Pill can't save you all." The Mu Family Head sneered, "If you can recover your cultivation, my Mu Family will give you a hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"Really?" Xiao Yan interjected. The Xiao Family's Spirit Stones were currently exhausted. If they could win back a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, then the Xiao Family's business could continue to operate.

"Of course it's true. My Mu Family would never lie to people." The Mu Family Head looked sincere.

"Father, should I take the Medicinal Pill now?" Xiao Yan transmitted. Originally, it was best to take the Medicinal Pill in private, but now the Mu Family was being aggressive.

"Since the Mu Family wants to give Spirit Stones, then we'll accept them. Father trusts the famous doctor." The Xiao Family Head pondered. The famous doctor in Qinggang City had received favors from the Xiao Family's ancestors, so he was trustworthy.

"Alright, my Xiao Family accepts this gamble."

"Wait a moment, if you can't recover your cultivation, then the Xiao Family will compensate ten thousand Spirit Stones. A hundred thousand for ten thousand isn't bullying your Xiao Family, is it?"

"My Xiao Family accepts." The Xiao Family Head said. At this moment, many passersby had gathered at the Xiao Family's main entrance. If the Xiao Family didn't even dare to accept this gamble, then the Xiao Family would never be able to hold their heads high in Qinggang City again.

"Then let's begin."

Qin Tian watched the entire show from the side and did not speak.

"Brother, you will definitely recover." Xiao Ling's eyes were firm, and she clenched her fists to encourage Xiao Yan.

"I heard that the Xiao Family went to Wu Ji City to buy a Medicinal Pill to restore the strength of the Xiao Family's Genius, Xiao Yan."

"Yes, a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill. The Xiao Family truly invested heavily, but will it really work?"

"We'll know if it works later. I don't know why Qinggang City's number one Genius suddenly became a good-for-nothing overnight, with his cultivation directly regressing to the Early Stage of Qi Refining, just like a Cultivator who had just entered Qi Refining."

"What a pity for such a Genius to suddenly become a good-for-nothing."

The matter of Xiao Yan had long spread throughout Qinggang City, and the Mu Family naturally had a "contribution" to it.

Xiao Yan didn't mind. In recent days, he had grown tired of hearing such words.

As long as he refined the Medicinal Pill, he would regain his title as a Prodigy.

A powerful Medicinal Pill's energy coursed through Xiao Yan's body. The Spirit Restoration Pill, a Medicinal Pill used by Soul Transformation Realm Cultivators to restore Spiritual Qi, contained abundant Spiritual Qi.

"Haha, my cultivation has increased! I've returned to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining!" Xiao Yan was overjoyed.

The Mu Family members were stunned. "Clan Chief, he didn't really recover, did he?"

"No, how can a mere Early Stage of Qi Refining bear a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill? The Xiao Family's Genius will be burst by the Medicinal Pill's energy. At that time, the Xiao Family will definitely go berserk, and we can then act openly." The Mu Family Clan Chief looked composed.

"How wonderful! Young master's cultivation is recovering!" The Xiao Family members were overjoyed.

Late Stage of Qi Refining, Peak of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment soon!

Everyone was dumbfounded. This increase in strength was too fast.

"Could it be that the Xiao Family's Genius is truly going to regain his title as a Genius?" The onlookers were also amazed.

"Ah!"

Xiao Yan suddenly let out a loud cry, with blood oozing from his body, and a large amount of Spiritual Qi gushing from his mouth and nose, making him look like a fountain.

"Sons of Destiny must all experience life and death." Qin Tian sighed to himself. The feeling of being squeezed by the Medicinal Pill's energy was not pleasant.

Even Phoenix Moon, who possessed the Phoenix Body, barely managed to digest the fifth-grade Medicinal Pill.

Xiao Yan had no special Physique, so he naturally couldn't withstand it, but after today, Xiao Yan would be like a Hidden Dragon emerging from the abyss.

Sons of Destiny have great Luck, and in the future, various Opportunities will surely come to them automatically.

"Yan'er!" The Xiao Family Head roared.

"This Medicinal Pill is about to burst Yan'er's body!"

"This famous doctor has harmed my son!" The Xiao Family Head instantly came to his senses. How could a Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator withstand a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill?

"Haha, the Xiao Family Head is so worried that he's confused! He actually let a person in the Early Stage of Qi Refining take a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill. I'm afraid your Qilin son won't survive today!"

"Now that the Xiao Family's Spirit Stones are exhausted and they are unable to continue the commercial war, the Xiao Family should withdraw on their own, otherwise, things won't be so gentle next time." The Mu Family Head laughed heartily.

"Yan'er, don't absorb the Spiritual Qi. Disperse it." The Xiao Family Head quickly spoke.

At the same time, he used Spiritual Qi to stabilize his body.

Several Elders of the Xiao Family also took action one after another.

But how terrifying was the Spiritual Qi contained in a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill?

"Pfft." Xiao Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, which also contained half of the Spirit Restoration Pill.

"Brother."

"Young master."

The Xiao Family members cried out in despair and grief. The hope of their Xiao Family was broken.

"Father, I'm crippled. My Qi Sea has been shattered by the Spiritual Qi." Xiao Yan looked emaciated.

"Mu Li, you actually framed my son!" Blood tears flowed from the Xiao Family Head's eyes.

"Haha, it's your Xiao Family that's too foolish, to actually believe the words of a famous doctor so much." The Mu Family Head laughed heartily.

He had only bribed one person, but it caused the Xiao Family to exhaust their Spirit Stones and nearly cost the Xiao Family's Genius his life, turning him into a complete good-for-nothing.

If there was a chance for him to recover before, Xiao Yan now had no hope whatsoever.

"A bet is a bet, Brother Xiao. You can hand over the ten thousand Spirit Stones now, right?" The Mu Family Head chuckled.

The Xiao Family members' faces were ashen. The Xiao Family had already lost a lot of Spirit Stones in the commercial war with the Mu Family, and now a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill had exhausted their Spirit Stones. How could they produce ten thousand Spirit Stones?

"What, does the Xiao Family intend to renege on the debt? Then my Mu Family will have to take action."

"Wait a moment." Qin Tian smiled. It was almost time for him to act.
