C1377 Regression
Inside the Ya Pavilion, everyone looked at Yin Zhengxiong. In fact, not only Xiao Lang, even the people from the Yin Family did not understand that Yin Zhengxiong had concealed the truth. However, the latter had a high position in the Yin Family, so no one dared to question him in front of everyone.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yin Zhengxiong sighed, then continued: "Sigh, if the Yin Family people can work hard, I wouldn't have to pretend to be sick."
Yin Zhengxiong's words made everyone look at each other, and even Xiao Lang was startled, confused.
Yin Zhengxiong continued to speak: "Our Yin Family, on the surface, looks like we are a thriving family with flourishing families, but only we ourselves know that Yin Family is actually a lacklustre place with no successors. Although the National Origin is not bad when it is young, it has long been exhausted of its potential, and it is hard for its cultivation to progress further, while Yin Fei, Yin Li and the others from the same generation, don't have any hope at all, so in my heart, I have always been worrying about this matter."
"Later on, I observed that the reason why Yin Family appeared in such a state was mainly because they felt too comfortable under my shade. They lost the courage and will to fight that a cultivator should have, which was why they were lazy to cultivate."
"Three years ago, when I was poisoned and my strength declined, I felt a sense of nervousness on my Yin Family for the first time. After that, I discovered that while I was poisoned, my Yin Family's condition was evidently much better than before. Therefore, after I had fully recovered, I chose to conceal my illness, so as to let my Yin Family sense the pressure of the outside world and not let them know how cruel Cultivation Realm is.
When Xiao Lang heard this, the emotions he had towards the Yin Family disappeared. Although Yin Zhengxiong had lied to him, the latter's good intentions were worthy of respect.
The rest of the Yin Family's members were even more so silent, their faces full of shame and shame. No one dared to look directly at the strongest Yin Family practitioner in front of them.
Yin Zhengxiong laughed bitterly, then raised his wine cup and said to Xiao Lang: "So Fellow Daoist Xiao, please forgive me for my painstaking efforts. Consider this wine cup as me apologizing to you."
As he said that, Yin Zhengxiong lifted his wine cup and finished it in one gulp.
"Father, it is my fault that Yin Family cultivators should not cultivate." Yin Guoyuan said in shame.
Yin Zhengxiong said: "Don't be in a hurry to blame yourself. After this matter, I will go out to travel and don't know when I will be back. So, if you all don't want to be devoured by Hong Family, then you all can do it yourself."
When these words came out, everyone revealed a shocked expression. They had originally thought that with Yin Zhengxiong's strong return, they would finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief. In the end, the moment Yin Zhengxiong returned, he said that he was going to leave, which made it hard for them to accept for a moment.
However, Yin Guoyuan waved his hand and said with a resolute expression: "Father, don't worry. After this lesson, in the future, I will definitely encourage and manage the clan well and will not allow any clansmen to slack off in their cultivation."
"Alright, with these words of yours, I am relieved." Yin Zhengxiong nodded.
This banquet ended with the agreement of the Yin Family people.
After the end of the banquet, the higher ups of the Yin Family all left, but Xiao Lang was left behind by Yin Zhengxiong and Yin Guoyuan.
"Is there anything else, my lord?" Xiao Lang looked at Yin Zhengxiong who was sitting on the seat of honor and asked in confusion.
Yin Zhengxiong laughed: "Nothing else, I just want to leave Fellow Daoist Xiao behind so I can once again thank you for helping my Yin Family."
Xiao Lang shook his head: "Patriarch is too polite, I've already said it before, the reason I came to help was actually because I was entrusted by someone else."
Yin Zhengxiong asked curiously: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xiao can reveal who exactly is the Venerable One who entrusted you with the task of helping Yin Family?"
Xiao Lang frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "That senior's honorific name is Sovereign Dragon-Elephant, according to him, he had a marriage with a senior from Yin Family, and it's just that he failed to meet that senior from Yin Family back then, so he wanted to do something to make it up to him before his death."
"So that's how it is." Yin Zhengxiong nodded in understanding.
After thinking for a moment, Yin Zhengxiong asked again, "That means, Fellow Daoist Xiao is that Sovereign Dragon-Elephant's disciple?"
Xiao Lang nodded: "He can be considered a disciple."
Although he and Sovereign Dragon-Elephant did not have the same master and disciple, the Sovereign Dragon-Elephant had already given him the inheritance, so he should still call him Sovereign Dragon-Elephant's Master.
Yin Zhengxiong finally understood and did not pursue the matter any further. He turned to Yin Guoyuan and said: "Zhengxiong, bring the thing over."
Yin Guoyuan immediately nodded, took out a spatial ring like treasure and gave it to Xiao Lang: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is a great favor to you due to the Yin Family, this is a bit of kindness from us, I hope that you can accept it."
Xiao Lang was startled, he did not expect Yin Guoyuan to reward him. He immediately waved his hand: "I did not put in much effort either, there's no need to be so polite."
"Fellow Daoist Xiao should accept it!"
Yin Zhengxiong laughed and said: "This spatial ring has a hundred thousand Holy Origin Stones and two cauldrons of Gold Sun Holy Water; they are all treasures that are beneficial to one's cultivation. I can see that your aura is stable and your spiritual power is not fluctuating too much. You must have probably reached a bottleneck in your cultivation, and these things might be able to help you break through your bottleneck at a critical moment. "
Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows, then asked: "What exactly is that Gold Sun Holy Water?"
Yin Zhengxiong said, "The Gold Sun Holy Water is a special treasure produced at the Gold Sun Lake on the Hong Family territory. It possesses extremely pure energy and is very suitable for high level World Gods to use, this type of holy water is extremely rare, and Hong Family only collects a single pot of Gold Sun Holy Water every three thousand years. If not for your help from Fellow Daoist Xiao, Hong Yuanzhen would not have used the Gold Sun Holy Water to compensate us."
"So that's how it is." Xiao Lang was relieved.
As he spoke, he received the spatial ring from Yin Zhengxiong and said, "Then, I'll accept it."
Although he was not greedy for these things, Yin Zhengxiong was right. Right now, he needed some high grade treasures to help him break through his bottleneck.
There was less than a hundred years time until the Floating Cloud Convention, but he had just broken through to the Small Perfection of World Stage realm, so he did not even have the qualifications to participate in the Floating Cloud Convention. Thus, he had to increase his strength as fast as possible, so that he could have a chance of entering the Headquarter of Heaven Floating Palace in the future.
"Haha, this is what Fellow Daoist Xiao deserves." Seeing Xiao Lang accepting the gift, Yin Zhengxiong laughed.
The two of them conversed for a while longer before Xiao Lang took his leave.
Because the danger of Yin Family had already been resolved, Xiao Lang stayed in the Yin Family for two days. Then, he bid farewell to Yin Zhengxiong, left the Yin Family, and began his journey back.
It had been some time since he had come out. It was time to go back and take a look.
After continuously teleporting for ten days, Xiao Lang finally returned to the Qingguang Great World.
Just as Xiao Lang returned to his residence under the Heavenly Dragon Mountain, he saw Xiao Dao running over quickly.
"Brother, you're back!" Xiao Dao shouted out in joy from afar.
Xiao Lang looked around and asked, "Where are the Demon God's group?"
"The Demon God and Wu Hen went on a mission, and the World God Shura went out as well. Only the Poisonous Dragon and I were at home." Xiao Dao said.
"Has anything happened recently?" Xiao Lang asked again.
"Yes, in the time that you left, Senior Sister Ning Fuer came to find you twice." Xiao Dao said in high spirits.
"Oh, she's back?" Xiao Lang had already left the Heavenly Dragon Mountain for a very long time due to matters concerning his family. He did not expect that the latter had finally returned.
Xiao Dao nodded. "Brother, do you need to ask her about something?"
Xiao Lang thought for a while, then shook his head: "We'll talk about it at that time."
Seeing that Xiao Lang did not seem to have such thoughts, Xiao Dao did not say anymore, the two of them conversed as they walked into the house.
Very quickly, Xiao Lang saw the Poisonous Dragon training.
"Master, you're back!" When the Poisonous Dragon saw Xiao Lang appear, it stopped its cultivation and walked over with a face filled with surprise and joy.
Xiao Lang sized up the Poisonous Dragon, and after a moment, nodded and laughed: "Seems like your body is recovering quite well."
Earlier, the Poisonous Dragon was ambushed by the Xuanyuan family during Misty Valley and suffered from very serious injuries. Although Xiao Lang spent several hundred thousand points on it later on to exchange it for many elixirs and medicines, and helped the Poisonous Dragon to recover from its injuries, because the Poisonous Dragon's foundation was injured, it had been in a semi-weak state for a long time, and even its cultivation had become stagnant.
Although Xiao Lang was worried, he couldn't think of a good way.
Until Xiao Lang found a Five-Colored Lilac Daphne in the Western Region's Sovereign Dragon-Elephant's ruin and fed a portion of it to the Poisonous Dragon, the latter had finally completely recovered its vitality and the foundation that was previously damaged had been repaired.
At least from the looks of it, the Poisonous Dragon was in good condition.
"From the looks of it, you seem to be on the verge of a breakthrough?" Xiao Lang suddenly frowned and said with a smile.
He discovered that the Poisonous Dragon's aura was extremely thick, as if it had already reached the peak of the Ninth Rank Void True God.2
The Poisonous Dragon scratched its head and said: "It's all thanks to the Five-Colored Lilac Daphne that master gave me. After I refined it, my strength improved a little, but I was still lacking a little, and didn't manage to break through the World Stage directly. Xiao Moshen, Wu Hen and the others immediately broke through."
"Oh?" Hearing that, Xiao Lang's eyes lit up again. He did not expect that Xiao Moshen and Wu Hen actually broke through their World Stage.
"No wonder those two guys were in such a hurry to go out on a mission. So they had broken through to the next realm!" Xiao Lang laughed at the bottom of his heart.
After that, Xiao Lang patted the Poisonous Dragon's shoulders and laughed: "It's fine, you broke your foundation due to Misty Valley, so a portion of the Five-Colored Lilac Daphne's medicinal power was used to repair your foundation. Otherwise, you would have definitely broken through as well."
On the other hand, Xiao Dao, who was at the side, had a depressed look on his face. Amongst them, he was the weakest.
Xiao Lang slapped him, and scolded jokingly: "You brat, what are you so anxious for? "This time around, I have brought back some good things with me. If you are able to refine them, you should be able to catch up."
"Really?" Xiao Dao's eyes lit up.
"When did your brother lie to you?" Xiao Lang rolled his eyes and laughed.
