23: Xiaochen, it's good to keep things within the family, why don't you... take your sister Ling'er in?

"Hiss, six... sixty excellent spirit origin pills?!"

Hearing Xiao Chen casually state the number of pills, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Mingyi, and the others gasped sharply, their legs nearly giving out, almost making them kneel before Xiao Chen on the spot.

One must know that in the pill market of Liuyun City, it's rare to see even one excellent spirit origin pill in several years.

Once one appears, it will definitely be snatched up.

An excellent spirit origin pill cannot be bought without five thousand spirit crystals.

And Xiao Chen actually took out sixty excellent spirit origin pills in one go. This is a cultivation resource worth hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals, enough to cause a sensation among all merchant associations in Liuyun City!

"Really... they are all excellent spirit origin pills!"

With disbelief in their hearts, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Mingyi, and the others.

Trembling, they all took the pill bottles, then opened the lids and sniffed, raising their heads to look at Xiao Chen with trembling eyes.

"Did you really refine all of these?!"

It wasn't that Xiao Zhan and the others wanted to doubt Xiao Chen, but this matter was simply too absurd.

Refining pills is very complicated.

Wanting to refine sixty excellent spirit origin pills within two days, even a Heaven Rank alchemist couldn't do it.

Furthermore.

There was no alchemy furnace in Xiao Chen's room, nor a large amount of corresponding medicinal materials. How did he refine so many excellent spirit origin pills?

Could it be...

As thoughts turned in their minds, the few of them seemed to think of something and couldn't help but exchange glances.

Only then did they remember...

Two days ago, they had given Xiao Chen one hundred low-grade spirit origin pills. Could these spirit origin pills have been refined from those pills?

"That's right, just as you guessed, these were purified and refined from that batch of low-grade spirit origin pills."

Seeing the speculative expressions of the few, Xiao Chen also smiled lightly and nodded.

"Hiss, Xiao Chen actually has such ability, he is truly the lucky star of my Xiao Family!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the others gasped sharply again, their faces showing expressions of ecstasy and excitement.

They hadn't expected that Xiao Chen could not only help people cleanse their marrow and refine their veins, but now he could even purify and refine pills a second time.

Even a Heaven Rank alchemist couldn't achieve such a monstrous feat.

With Xiao Chen in the Xiao Family from now on, how could there be a lack of excellent pills?!

"Uh, don't be too happy too soon, this also consumes a large amount of resources."

"If there are no other resources to support it, I have no way to purify any pills."

Seeing that the few couldn't help but feel hopeful again, Xiao Chen could only helplessly pour a basin of cold water on them.

"Hahaha, we all understand."

After hearing Xiao Chen say these two sentences, Xiao Zhan and the others laughed heartily, and then handed over a spatial ring.

"These are various resource items we have acquired from major merchant associations over the past two days, including broken weapons, demon cores, waste pills, and so on."

"It cost a total of four hundred seventy thousand spirit crystals. This should be helpful to you."

"Four hundred seventy thousand spirit crystals?"

Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up.

Without any politeness or pretense, he took the spatial ring.

Four hundred seventy thousand spirit crystals.

This should be a huge sum of wealth that could only be gathered after destroying the two families of Wang Lin, combined with the Xiao Family's own circulating funds.

He hadn't expected the Xiao Family to use it all to acquire resources; this selfless act was a bit unexpected to him.

As his spiritual sense probed into the spatial ring, various resource items were piled up like mountains.

Whether it was broken weapons, waste pills, demon cores, leftover medicines, and so on, even the carcasses and scales of some demonic beasts could be found within the spatial ring.

If they were taken out, they would probably pile up like mountains.

"This is worth at least tens of thousands of points!"

After roughly evaluating it in his heart, Xiao Chen immediately issued a recycle command.

"Ding! The system has recovered all resource items, totaling seventy-three thousand five hundred thirty-four points."

"There are actually over seventy thousand points?"

Hearing the prompt from the system, Xiao Chen felt a bit surprised.

It seems there should be quite a few good things in this batch of items.

Otherwise, resources worth over four hundred thousand spirit crystals shouldn't reach such a high point value.

With this wave of points credited, he can upgrade pills again.

As the thought crossed his mind, Xiao Chen brought up this matter.

"What?"

"You want to help us purify pills?"

Hearing Xiao Chen proactively bring up this matter, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Mingyi, and the others were overjoyed.

"Yes, you should find a way to purchase some pills for cultivation, or pills for breaking through realms. The pill grade only needs to reach low-grade."

"As long as I have enough resources, I can purify them into excellent pills."

"At that time, you will be able to quickly improve your cultivation or break through with these pills, and the safety of the Xiao Family will also be more secure."

Xiao Chen nodded and immediately replied.

"Hahaha, worthy of being a descendant of our Xiao Family, this character is truly beyond reproach."

Seeing Xiao Chen not hide his talents at all, sparing no effort for the family, Xiao Mingyi smiled with a face full of satisfaction.

He even wished he could make Xiao Zhan abdicate on the spot and let Xiao Chen become the Family Head of the Xiao Family directly.

"Oh, I almost forgot something important!"

As Xiao Mingyi was sighing with emotion, Second Elder Xiao Chixiong, who was beside him, suddenly slapped his thigh hard.

Then, he stealthily ran to Xiao Chen's front, and excitedly grabbed the other party's wrist.

"Xiao Chen, you are so outstanding in both appearance and talent. The descendants you produce in the future will definitely be good seedlings."

"As the saying goes, 'fat water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields'. How about... you take in your Xiao Linger?"

Pfft!!

Hearing Second Elder Xiao Chixiong's words, Xiao Chen almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. What kind of thought process is this?

Because his appearance and talent are too outstanding, he suggests he take in Xiao Linger?!

"Old Xiao Second, you are shameless."

"You're even pushing your own daughter out. Aren't you afraid that girl will rebel?"

Xiao Mingyi and Third Elder Xiao Delong, who were beside him, both exclaimed with wide eyes.

They were clearly shocked by Second Elder Xiao Chixiong's idea.

"How dare she!"

"Xiao Chen is so outstanding and sensible. If she can warm Xiao Chen's bed and bear children for him, it will definitely be the greatest honor of her life!"

Hearing Xiao Mingyi and Third Elder Xiao Delong's words, Second Elder Xiao Chixiong immediately puffed his beard and glared, saying.

"Furthermore..."

"Although we are all members of the Xiao Family, my lineage is already separated from Xiao Chen by several generations. In terms of kinship and bloodline, we have long been estranged."

"It would be better to take this opportunity to strengthen ties through marriage, perhaps even making the Xiao Family's bloodline more outstanding."

The Xiao Family has existed for hundreds of years since its founding. Many descendants are now separated by over ten generations, so even marriage within the clan cannot be considered incest.

Therefore, instead of letting Xiao Chen find several women from other clans, it would be better to find a few Xiao Family women from distant generations.

This could avoid some family conflicts and be more beneficial in safeguarding the interests of the Xiao Family.

"Hiss... I suddenly feel this idea is feasible."

After Second Elder Xiao Chixiong's twisted reasoning finished, Xiao Mingyi and Third Elder Xiao Delong's eyes lit up.

How could they not have thought of this? Instead of benefiting women from other clans, it's better to benefit their own good girls.

With the talent and aptitude Xiao Chen has shown, even serving as a concubine by his side in the future could lead to unimaginable heaven-defying opportunities.

By then, they could also have very outstanding descendants; even a grandson would be enough to be proud of.

"Hahaha, Xiao Chen, Second Elder makes a lot of sense. How about that girl from my family?"

"She's even more beautiful than her mother, and her bloodline is separated from yours by six or seven generations. If you combine, it will definitely be perfect."

As the thought fell.

Xiao Mingyi also boasted about his own goods, coming to Xiao Chen with an excited face to promote his daughter.

"Damn it, this Old man has no daughters, so I can't take advantage."

Third Elder Xiao Delong, who was beside him, was very depressed seeing this scene.

He only had three good-for-nothing sons, which had made him feel very fortunate in the past.

Having three male offspring meant his lineage had hope of flourishing.

But now he was extremely depressed; he couldn't even get a word in on such a good thing.

Could it be that he should reserve one first and go back to try hard to have a daughter?!
