Chapter 17: Xiantian Dan
Xiao Ruohan, you lost!
When Xiao Yi said this, no one refuted it, and no one expressed dissatisfaction.
Because now Xiao Yi has shown enough strength to say this sentence.
Although Xiao Yi is an abandoned martial soul, Xiao Ruohan is a powerful Huang-rank martial soul.
Martial spirit is the most important indicator of talent, genius or waste, it all depends on the strength of martial spirit.
However, the most important thing in this world is strength, and strength is the source of all rights.
After all, no matter how good the talent is, there is no use for eggs without growth. But the strength is real.
On the elders' table, the five elders looked gloomy and hated in his heart, "Damn, Xiao Yi actually defeated Xiao Zimu. In this way, my plan was completely disrupted."
Xiao Ruohan was also ugly, looking for help at the fifth elder.
The fifth elder nodded and motioned for him to feel relieved.
Immediately, the fifth elder stood up and said loudly, "Xiao Yi, the clan contest is over, you can go down."
After that, he looked at the other elders beside him and said, "Elders, it's time to open Ziyun Cave, let's go."
He planned to cut the mess quickly and not give Xiao Yi a chance to speak.
Xiao Yi has his own way to deal with it, and he also said loudly, "Why, the five elders do you want to play tricks?"
He said so loudly that the Fifth Elder was shameless, and the Fifth Elder could no longer evade the past vaguely, and must have a serious dialogue with himself.
The fifth elder frowned and said, "Xiao Yi, what do you mean by this? Don't think that you are the Young Patriarch, and you can slander the elders at will. Be careful I condemn you for not respecting the elders."
This old fox immediately accused Xiao Yi of disrespectful elders.
Xiao Yiyi was not afraid, and said, "Fifth Elder, everyone knows about the bet between Xiao Ruohan and I half a month ago. Open Ziyun Cave later, and please take good care of your son, don’t let him sneak in in troubled waters."
"Hahaha." Hearing Xiao Yi's joking words, the people burst into laughter.
"You..." The Fifth Elder turned dark and shouted, "Xiao Yi, the bet between you juniors is just a petty joke, and it's not true."
The fifth elder increased his tone and tried to put pressure on him to frighten Xiao Yi back.
Xiao Yi naturally was not afraid, and asked, "Should it be true? This bet was set in the Chamber of Commerce half a month ago in front of the elders and deacons. If you think this is not true, doesn't it mean us? The Chamber of the Xiao family is just a place for children's play?"
"Humph." The Fifth Elder snorted coldly, as if thinking of a countermeasure in his heart, he said loudly, "Xiao Yi, you think you can take it seriously. Well, now in the presence of all the people, I want to ask, who Will this kind of nonsense bet be true?"
As the Fifth Elder said, his domineering eyes scanned all the people.
At the same time, the seventh, eighth, and ninth elders all stood beside him.
The four elders put pressure together, and all the tribe members were silent and silent.
The Fifth Elder smiled triumphantly. He had long expected that no one would openly challenge himself and the other three elders because of a bet that had nothing to do with them.
Suddenly, a majestic voice came, "I take it seriously!"
The sound resounded through the audience, reaching everyone's ears.
"Huh?" The Fifth Elder suddenly turned cold, planning to see who dared to be presumptuous in front of him.
"What kind of thing are you..." The Fifth Elder suddenly scolded, as his elder was enough to scold everyone in the Xiao family.
However, when he saw the incoming person, he immediately stopped his words.
The man here is an old man with white beard and hair, but he is full of energy, and his eyebrows are flashing through the aisles. He is obviously extraordinary.
"See the second elder!" All the clansmen suddenly bowed respectfully.
"Second elder." The elders and deacons also bent slightly.
Yes, the person here is the second elder who has never been there.
Among the nine elders of the Xiao family, generally those who control the power of the family and discuss important matters in the family are the latter seven elders.
As for the senior elder and the second elder, they are both seniors in the family. They have the highest seniority, one generation higher than the other elders. They are very old, so they rarely appear in front of the tribesmen, and they don't care about the nosy in the family.
In the last meeting of the elders, and today's family competition, neither of them appeared.
The Grand Elder is the only third-rank alchemist in the family, and he is very busy himself, so naturally he has no spare time to take care of other things.
And these two elders are martial idiots, immersed in cultivation, and rarely show up.
At the same time, he is still the most powerful person in the family today, a nine-tier martial artist in the Innate Realm, only one step away from a martial artist in the Cave Profound Realm.
Therefore, even if the second elder is not in power usually, his seniority still has the strength here, and his prestige is much higher than other elders. Even if the seven elders decide jointly, he can overthrow it.
The second elder first glanced at Xiao Yi with a look of admiration, then regained his majestic gaze to look at Xiao Ruohan and the fifth elder.
"I said this matter is serious, do you have any opinions?" the second elder asked with dignity.
The fifth elder said quickly and respectfully, "Don't dare, since it's the second elder's decision, I naturally have no opinion."
The second elder was once the martial arts enlightenment teacher of the major elders and Xiao Yi's father, and he asked, the fifth elder did not dare to put one fart.
"Huh, it's fine if you have no opinion." The second elder snorted and said, "I have heard about the bet. Although this is a bet between juniors, both of them are martial artists. As a martial artist, if you even Don't dare to bear the consequences of failure, then what qualifications are there to be a martial artist."
"A warrior, if he does not have a firm and unyielding heart, he would not dare to face this little thing. How can he succeed on the difficult road of martial arts in the future?"
"Even if you don't talk about martial artists, you just say it and don't believe in this, you don't deserve to be a descendant of my Xiao family."
The second elders educated angrily.
"Yes, yes." The fifth elder nodded respectfully, and then said embarrassedly, "but the second elder, you also know that Ruohan is the most talented child in the family, the seventh-tier cultivation base of the mortal realm tops the whole family, and It is the Huang-rank martial soul. If he is not allowed to practice in Ziyun Cave, he will miss his life."
"This..." The second elder fell into silence, naturally he couldn't have missed the children in the family.
At this time, Xiao Yi said loudly, “Fifth Elder, it’s not impossible for Xiao Ruohan to enter Ziyun Cave to practice. Must bear the corresponding price."
"Then, as long as you give an equivalent price, you can exchange Xiao Ruohan for this place." Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"The equivalent price?" The second elder looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Yi replied, "It's very simple, ten thousand taels. Use ten thousand taels to buy back this place."
The fifth elder immediately furious and said, "Xiao Yi, don't go too far. The old man's monthly salary in the family is only a few hundred taels, so how can I give you ten thousand taels?"
Xiao Yi said indifferently, "That's your business, if you don't have enough money, then take things to pay. I think that such a precious opportunity to enter Ziyun Cave is worth ten thousand taels."
"It's worth it, of course." The second elder nodded and said, "That's what it is."
The fifth elder immediately cried, but he really couldn't object to what the second elder decided.
"Xiao Yi, five thousand taels, plus three congenital pills and ten acquired pills, is it feasible?" The fifth elder could only ask in a low voice.
Entering Ziyun Cave to cultivate is the top priority for Xiao Ruohan, and the five elders have no choice at all.
Xiao Yi frowned and said, "Five thousand taels, plus five congenital pills and 20 acquired pills."
"Five congenital pills, 20 acquired pills?" The fifth elder opened his eyes wide, and then roared, "Xiao Yi, you might as well grab them."
The second elder also coughed twice and said, "Xiao Yi, don't be unreasonable. Let's do it, five thousand taels, plus three congenital pills and fifteen acquired pills."
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Since the second elder decides, I have no opinion."
"Second elder Xie." The fifth elder was grateful to the second elder, but his gaze towards Xiao Yi was still full of viciousness.
"Okay." The second elder said majesticly, "Since the matter has been resolved, let's open Ziyun Cave. This is a major event in the family, and it is not sloppy."
"Yes." The elders responded in unison.
