22: The Lin family from Tiandu City is just a mere family. They can never amount to anything!

Inside the room, the mist was thick.

Xiao Chen soaked in the bathtub with a look of contentment, lazily enjoying Yun Xi scrubbing his back.

And in this thick mist, Yun Xi's small face was completely red, almost as if blood was about to drip from it.

Her eyes were tightly shut, looking extremely shy and embarrassed.

It seemed as though if she accidentally saw Xiao Chen in front of her, her blood would rush up, and she would faint on the spot.

"Alright, if you keep scrubbing like this, I'll lose all my hair."

Feeling Yun Xi's scrubbing move up to his head, Xiao Chen said with a helpless look in the bathtub.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Young Master, am I too clumsy..."

Hearing Xiao Chen's casual teasing, Yun Xi apologized with an embarrassed look.

However, upon opening her eyes and seeing Xiao Chen's naked upper body, her pretty face turned red all the way to her neck.

This was the first time she had served Xiao Chen during a bath, and her heart was pounding as if it were about to explode.

"Just kidding."

"You've done very well. Let's finish the bath here. This Young Master is going to get up and get dressed."

Hearing the unease in Yun Xi's voice, Xiao Chen sighed helplessly and then stood up from the bathtub.

This girl is good in every way, just a bit too humble.

If not for her identity being the result of the appraisal, Xiao Chen wouldn't dare to believe this would be an Imperial Daughter.

"Ah~"

Yun Xi, who hadn't reacted yet, saw Xiao Chen suddenly stand up and was so startled she cried out.

Her whole body was like a steam pot, suddenly letting out hot air with a whoosh, and two streams of nosebleed unexpectedly spurted out.

"Sigh, truly clumsy yet loves to act tough..."

Feeling the movement behind him, Xiao Chen sighed helplessly.

It was just a back view, and this girl got a nosebleed.

If he were to turn around, wouldn't she just faint on the spot?

Helplessly, Xiao Chen turned his back to Yun Xi, dressed himself with a wave of his hand, and then turned back around.

Only then did he realize...

Yun Xi's face was so red it was almost bleeding, her eyes seemed a bit dull, and she still appeared to be immersed in the scene from just now.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing the nosebleed dripping onto the ground, Xiao Chen asked with a half-smile.

"Ah, Young Master, I'm fine..."

After hearing Xiao Chen's question, Yun Xi finally snapped back to her senses. After a startled cry, she quickly wiped her nose.

She ended up smearing her mouth full of nosebleed.

"Clean yourself up properly. Don't try to be tough next time."

Looking at Yun Xi's embarrassed state, Xiao Chen rubbed her head, then turned and walked out of the room.

He hadn't forgotten the main business.

It was better to first hand over the Senluo Blood Prison Formation to Xiao Zhan and collect the resources the Xiao Family had gathered over the past two days.

And Yun Xi's secret could also be mentioned.

However, it's uncertain when her seal will be lifted, so for now, there's no way to make preparations.

Arriving at the discussion hall.

Only then did Xiao Chen realize that Xiao Zhan, Xiao Mingyi, and the others were all there. Their expressions were solemn, seemingly discussing something.

"Has something happened?"

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit off, Xiao Chen took the initiative to ask a question upon entering the hall.

"Xiao Chen?"

"Xiao Chen?"

"You've finally come out of seclusion!"

Seeing Xiao Chen's appearance, everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they quickly stood up to greet him.

Xiao Mingyi also began to explain at this point.

"On the second day of your seclusion, Medusa Queen also entered seclusion, saying she needed to recover her fallen cultivation and asked us not to disturb her unless necessary."

"And within these two days..."

"Many suspicious individuals have appeared around the Xiao Family, seemingly monitoring the Xiao Family's movements."

As he spoke, Xiao Mingyi's voice became somewhat solemn.

"Several of us suspect these are spies from the Tiandu City Lin Family. They are likely trying to figure out the Xiao Family's strength in preparation for some action against the Xiao Family."

"So, several of us old guys suspect that the experts from the Tiandu City Lin Family are already on their way."

"Perhaps they will arrive in Liuyun City within these two days."

"And Medusa Queen is currently in seclusion cultivating, so we must make preparations in advance."

After speaking, Xiao Zhan and the others nodded solemnly, while Xiao Chen couldn't help but chuckle at this point.

"Just the Tiandu City Lin Family, they can't amount to anything!"

Saying this, Xiao Chen took out the Senluo Blood Prison Formation disk and continued nonchalantly.

"With this formation disk, even if the Tiandu City Lin Family invites experts from the Taiyi Sword Sect to act, our Xiao Family has the ability to kill the invading powerful enemies!"

"Formation disk?"

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the eyes of Xiao Zhan and the others instantly fell upon the formation disk.

"Could this be an Earth Rank formation disk?!"

An Earth Rank formation disk.

Even the lowest quality Earth Rank formation disk can unleash terrifying power, enough to threaten experts in the Cave Heaven Realm.

If it's a high-grade or Earth Grade Top Level formation disk, the power of the formation unleashed at full strength can even severely injure or kill experts in the Nirvana Realm!

Seeing how confident Xiao Chen was, could this possibly be an Earth Grade Top Level formation disk?!

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Mingyi, and the others were greatly shocked, and their faces all showed expressions of joy.

"This isn't an Earth Rank formation disk..."

Xiao Chen smiled faintly upon hearing this. When Xiao Zhan heard this, he was somewhat taken aback, and it seemed as though he had thought of something.

He nodded and continued.

"That's right, this is a Heaven Rank formation disk, and it's Tian Ji Extreme Grade."

"If its formation power is unleashed at full strength, it is enough to severely injure or kill experts in the Heavenly Human Realm!"

"Wha... what?!"

After hearing Xiao Chen's words.

Xiao Zhan, Xiao Mingyi, and the others all gasped sharply, their bodies almost going weak, nearly kneeling before Xiao Chen on the spot.

A Tian Ji Extreme Grade formation disk?

Enough to severely injure or kill experts in the Heavenly Human Realm?!

These two sets of keywords kept echoing in their minds, making their heads buzz and feel like they were about to explode with blood.

Experts in the Heavenly Human Realm!

These are the top experts of the Eastern Wasteland Seven Great Dynasties, terrifying existences capable of annihilating the Xiao Family with a flick of a finger.

They can even make the Great Qian Dynasty tremble with a stomp of their foot, almost invincible in their eyes.

And the formation disk in Xiao Chen's hand can actually kill experts in the Heavenly Human Realm?!

For them, this was undoubtedly a divine artifact!

"Although this formation disk has the ability to severely injure or kill experts in the Heavenly Human Realm, whether it can actually be done depends on the cultivator using it."

"If you cannot unleash the full power of the formation disk, you can only be beaten when facing experts in the Heavenly Human Realm."

Seeing Xiao Zhan and the others so shocked their legs were weak, Xiao Chen was afraid they would become overly confident.

He quickly spoke up to warn them.

"One must be strong oneself to forge iron. We all understand this principle. You don't need to worry about us old guys getting carried away."

Xiao Zhan waved his hand upon hearing this and smiled faintly with a look of relief.

"Although with Father and the Elders' current cultivation, controlling this formation disk cannot contend against experts in the Heavenly Human Realm."

"But dealing with some Cave Heaven Realm or Nirvana Realm experts is still more than enough."

After seeing them calm down a bit, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said a couple of sentences.

He then explained the method of using the Senluo Blood Prison Formation to Xiao Zhan, Xiao Mingyi, and the others.

Of course, when Xiao Zhan and the others asked how he obtained this formation disk, Xiao Chen merely said that his cheap Master had given it to him.

"Oh, right, these excellent spirit origin pills were refined by me during my seclusion these past two days. Take them and exchange them for spirit crystals, which can be used to acquire more resources."

After explaining the method of using the Senluo Blood Prison Formation disk, Xiao Chen casually took out the remaining excellent spirit origin pills.

"excellent spirit origin pills?"

"Xiao Chen, you can actually refine pills?!"

Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Zhan and the others were full of surprise, their gazes falling upon those pill bottles.

"So many pill bottles, how many did you refine?!"

excellent spirit origin pills are very difficult to refine. Even an Earth Rank alchemist master needs a bit of luck to refine them successfully.

And Xiao Chen actually took out nearly ten pill bottles. Could it be that he successfully refined nearly ten pills?

"Not that many..."

"Besides the ones I used for cultivation these past two days, there are still sixty excellent spirit origin pills left."

Seeing several pairs of eyes staring intently at him, Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said indifferently.
