Chapter 212 The Elder Changes Jade
Although he was a little confused, Ye Chen still walked into the Xiao clan mansion, but soon, he was frowned slightly by the scene inside and outside the main hall.
The corpses were everywhere, and Ye Chen also felt familiar when he looked at the costumes of these people on the ground.
"I'm back, haha, please sit down."
Xiao Wanshan, the elder of the Xiao clan, kindly pulled Ye Chen to the high chair in the hall. His old face was filled with excitement, and the nails that reached out were also stained with red blood that had not yet been washed.
"Elder Wanshan, you are welcome. This position can only be seated by the elders of the family. What kind of virtue does Ye Chen have?..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Wanshan interrupted with a smile: "Brother Ye doesn't know yet. Your contribution is too great now. We have agreed with the patriarch to make you the ninth elder of the family, so from now on, you will be Elder Ye of the Xiao clan."
"Yes, although Ye Chen is only an elder in the past, his rights are the same as us, and he has absolute right to negotiate and make decisions."
Another elder with a white beard stood up and patted Ye Chen's shoulder to sit down with peace of mind. The others in the hall also looked at him with a smile on his face.
Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Mei were taken to the inner courtyard with their eyes covered. At the same time, Xiao Zhan's figure appeared on the high seat in the hall. Facing the corpses all over the ground, there was no surprise expression.
“What’s going on?”
Ye Chen had already recognized all the corpses on the ground. Aren’t they all from the Gale family? And most of them survived by luck under his sword, but unfortunately, they died in the end.
"Haha, why bother Ye Chen? Isn't it your credit for our Xiao clan to have great results today?"
After saying that, Elder Wanshan told him, he told the reasons why the ground was full of corpses.
It turned out that after Ye Chen made a big fuss about the Gale family, they received news that there was a mysterious person beside him to help him. After thinking that it was an alchemist, the Xiao clan sent someone to reinforce him.
However, when they arrived at the Gale family, they also discovered that the Gale family was defeated, so they took this act of picking up corpses to eliminate future troubles.
The two families that had been untreated for many years had already accumulated grudges. Faced with the opportunity of all the powerful people in the Kali family to die, the Xiao clan also defeated all the remaining members of the Kali family, expelled them from Wutan City, and brought them back to the mansion to kill them, and sentenced the Xiao clan's future sovereignty in Wutan City.
One of the three major families was destroyed. After the Xiao family swore sovereignty, they could control all the shopping areas of the Jialei family.
The greatest contribution of all this is to go to save Ye Chen, which is why Ye Chen was enfeoffed as an elder in the family.
"Ye Chen, don't be polite. Although your cultivation is average, your contribution to the family is indeed the only one. This position as an elder is an affirmation of your great contribution to the family."
Xiao Zhan finally spoke, but what he said was similar to what other elders meant.
But Ye Chen knew that the affirmation of this elder was just a few paragraphs that the Xiao clan wanted to tie him up. After all, the alchemist they imagined in their minds was not only powerful in refining medicine but also a strong man. How could the Xiao family let go of such a person?
Just as he thought of this, he heard Elder Wanshan smile and said, "Ye Chen, should your pharmacist friend recommend us? After all, we will be partners in the future. If he agrees, our Xiao clan can also regard it as a family offering. Just refining the alchemy, you can enjoy all the power resources of the Xiao clan."
"Yes, Ye Chen, they are all his family. Since that alchemist is your friend, isn't he a friend of our Xiao family? If he is willing to come, the Xiao clan will definitely not disappoint him. In the future, Wutan City and even a few city-states around us can..."
Another elder persuaded him, but after hearing this, Ye Chen shook his head: "I'm sorry, my friend said that he would not stay in the small place of Wutan City for a long time, and maybe he would leave soon."
"It's so urgent. Is there any difficulty for the alchemist? Why don't you tell me it and we can help you."
Hearing Xiao Wanshan's words, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh and stopped saying anything.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan on the head raised his hand to interrupt the elder Wanshan who was still asking questions, and then smiled and said to Ye Chen: "Thank you for your hard work today, let's go down and rest first, and we will discuss this matter later."
"Thank you, the patriarch, then I will say goodbye first."
After Ye Chen nodded and left the hall, Elder Wanshan immediately said anxiously: "Class leader, you haven't finished speaking, why did you let that kid go? The stay and departure of the alchemist has a lot to do with my Xiao clan."
"No hurry. According to my opinion, the alchemist and Ye Chen have a close relationship. If you can deal with the entire Gale family for him, as long as Ye Chen is still our elder of the Xiao clan, he will not be able to escape."
Hearing this, many elders immediately looked at each other, and then they laughed and kept fantasizing about the grand occasion of the Xiao clan's growth and domination of Wutan City in the future.
Ye Chen returned to his room, lay on the bed and looked at the vast starry sky outside the window and thought.
His status in the Xiao clan has risen too fast. Within a month, he has become an elder in a foreign surname. It seems that he will not be too far from the day of completing the first sign-in task.
The next morning, after Ye Chen got up, he ran to the Wutancheng Auction House, bought a few jars of high-end old wine, and then ran to the Xiao Wanshan residence where he had talked a lot.
As soon as he knocked on the gate of the courtyard, Elder Wanshan's voice came from the side: "Hey, Elder Ye Chen, why are you asking me for early morning?"
"I heard that Elder Wanshan likes fine wine. Ye happens to have a few jars of fine wines here. I wonder if I can ask the elders to drink it. By the way, I would like to ask if I can enter the Xiao tribe's fighting skills treasure pavilion and choose something that suits me."
Ye Chen took out the aged wine that had been around for hundreds of years and smiled slightly. Seeing this, Xiao Wanshan immediately burst into laughter: "Ye Chen, I remember that I had said yesterday that although you are an elder of a foreign surname, you can also enjoy all the privileges of the elders. Just fighting skills and treasure pavilion, I will accompany you to have a look after it after drinking later."
As he said that, Xiao Wanshan pulled Ye Chen into the Elders' Villa and couldn't wait to drink the century-old wine.
This jar is worth half a thousand gold coins. After Xiao Wanshan and Ye Chen finished drinking one jar, the other party received other wines from their own rings: "Brother Ye, you don't have a good alcohol tolerance, so you blushed. We have to do serious business. I'll accept this wine. Let's drink it again next time."
After saying that, Elder Wanshan pulled Ye Chen and came to the Xiao tribe's fighting skills treasure pavilion. The guard at the door saw that the elders' waist cards were on both sides of their waists, but they did not stop them and asked them to walk in directly.
"Come on, Brother Ye, you can copy and practice the fighting skills here. If you want to get a little treasure, you can also take a little."
Elder Wanshan pointed to the shelves of books and various gems and delicacies, and briefly introduced the wine, the more you go, the better the hidden rules.
After Ye Chen nodded and thanked, he couldn't help but pick up a few Xuan-level fighting skills and read them. But the down-and-out Xiao clan had nothing good. There was a thick book stacked with only one local-level junior fighting skills, but it was also incomplete.
Without further development, Ye Chen picked up a fighting skill and walked towards the area of the treasure magic weapon placed.
After looking through it for a while, Ye Chen picked up a piece of broken jade with quaint and scattered patterns on it, but that's all, it looks very ordinary and has no other magic.
“Can I take it away?”
Holding the ancient jade, Ye Chen asked in a faint voice. Seeing this, Xiao Wanshan also smiled and said, "It is impossible to take it away. Although it is just an ordinary broken jade that can sense the breath of life. It is no big deal, but it is also an item that has existed in my Xiao clan in the past dynasties, so I'm sorry."
"Is that so? It's a pity, but I like this jade pendant so much. It looks very unique and I still want to give it to the person I like."
Ye Chen shrugged helplessly and smiled, and then when he put down the broken jade, a porcelain jade bottle suddenly fell from his arms.
Then, the lid covering the jade bottle was bounced away, and a crystal clear pill immediately rolled out from inside.
Suddenly, a smell of medicine that could be seen in the naked eye suddenly spread to the entire storage room. When Xiao Wanshan saw this object, his eyes widened.
"Oh, the fifth-grade peak pill my friend gave me has fallen out, so don't get dirty. I'm going to give it to someone."
After saying that, he wanted to bend over and pick it up, but a shadow picked up the pill faster than him. Then a shock sounded from the side.
"The fifth grade is really the fifth grade Douling Foundation Building Pill."
After saying that, Ye Chen saw Xiao Wanshan staring at the pill in his hand and swallowing his saliva.
The effect of this pill can increase the success rate by 60% when a strong man in the Great Fighter realm breaks through the Fighting Spirit. Such a precious fifth-grade peak pill is simply rare in the world.
"Brother Wanshan, that's mine. Can you give it back to me?"
Ye Chen chuckled, but the words were very complicated. Xiao Wanshan looked at the fifth-grade elixir in his hand and also heard the tragic situation of the Gale family.
But if this Douling Foundation Building Pill is taken to the leader Xiao Zhan who is about to reach the 9-star master, wouldn’t their Xiao family have an extra Douling Power?
It's okay if I don't think so. After thinking about it, Xiao Wanshan could no longer hide this crazy idea. But if he wanted to rob, the Xiao family and the fifth-grade alchemist behind Ye Chen could not afford to offend him. The Gale family is an example, but if you exchange things for things.
A thought arose in his mind. When Xiao Wanshan pretended to return the pill to Ye Chen, he said, although this pill is good, you are a fighter, so you may not be able to use it.
Since you like that piece of broken jade, why not just exchange it and give it to your sweetheart, Yafei, and you will definitely win the hearts of the beauty.
As he said that the fifth-grade Douling Foundation Building Pill was about to be placed in Ye Chen's palm, but suddenly, Ye Chen took his right hand and clapped his palm, "Yes, I'm only a fighter, maybe I won't use it in the future, it's better than a piece of beautiful jade."
"Yes, Brother Ye is smart."
Xiao Wanshan smiled secretly and took back the pill, then quickly picked up the broken jade, stuffed it into Ye Chen's arms, and then said, "That's right, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany me. After you choose a good fighting skill, leave by yourself. Brother, I'll leave first." After that, the man had disappeared outside the attic and ran towards the clan leader's hall.
Soon, there were also a loud laughter in the hall. Ye Chen looked at the ancient jade he had obtained, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly returned to his room.
However, not long after he came back, he found a note on the table with the words "Soon".
