"If only I had a storage ring now."
Looking at the large pile of spiritual herbs piled up by the bedside, Xiao Chong couldn't help but support his head with his hand.
If he didn't consider the issue of materials, making a storage ring by hand would involve spatial power, which required at least the strength of a Dou Zong.
It wasn't that he was worried about these spiritual herbs being taken by the Xiao family members. After all, they would be used by his own family, and there was nothing wrong with benefiting his own people.
The key was... what if the family members guessed that just by staying by his side and cultivating, their physiques could directly undergo a qualitative change like these herbs...
Because theoretically, that's exactly what happened with Gu Xue...
Then, even when he was sleeping at night, there would probably be people lying around him in three layers inside and out.
Thinking about that scene, Xiao Chong now felt all sorts of awkwardness.
This effect was definitely much stronger than Viagra...
Just as Xiao Chong was thinking this, footsteps sounded outside the door. From the aura, it was Gu Xue bringing Xiao Yan over.
Ah... and here comes the most troublesome one. Xiao Chong simply lay down, assuming a posture of "I'm lying flat, Mother, do as you please."
"Chong'er, haven't you seen your younger brother for a few days? Do you miss him?"
"This time, I brought him along to see you."
As she spoke, Gu Xue carried Xiao Yan to Xiao Chong's side.
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes.
He really didn't want to meet this twin brother at all, because from past experiences, whenever they met, nothing good ever happened.
This brother of his was definitely the type of "fellow villagers meet, and one stabs the other." However, Xiao Chong's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Yan.
This was great. He had the ability to directly elevate spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs to higher quality spiritual herbs. Wasn't this skill a perfect match for an alchemist?
So now he was thinking about how to trick this future ninth-grade alchemist into becoming a professional medicine jar; it seemed that the idea of eating ninth-grade pills like candy would soon be realized.
At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a chill.
He suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a capitalist-like goose...
Seeing this, Gu Xue's smile became even brighter.
The bond between these two brothers is really good they got along as soon as they met.
At the same time, a voice like that of a servant suddenly came from outside the door.
"Young Master Xiao Chong... Madam, it's time for Young Master Xiao Chong's medicine."
"Isn't it still not the time for the medicine? Never mind, come in."
Gu Xue didn't feel anything was amiss and casually waved her hand to let the person outside come in.
After all, the whole "treating Xiao Chong" thing was just an act, as long as it didn't draw too much attention from outsiders.
But Xiao Chong immediately sensed that something was off.
The person pretending to be a servant outside actually had the strength of a Dou Ling!
If this were in the Central Continent, having a Dou Ling level servant wouldn't be a big deal. But this was Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire!
Outside the door, an aged voice rang out at that moment, carrying with it a chilling, emotionless killing intent.
"Very well, this old servant is coming in now..."
The door was pulled open with a clatter, and at that moment, Gu Xue finally realized something was off about this person who called himself an old servant! "Wait, who are you?!"
"I am Jia Lie Tian, the ancestor of the Jia Lie family... You've blocked our family's path, and I'm here to kill you!"
A sinister, withered hand suddenly extended from the sleeve, reaching straight for Gu Xue heart! This old man, who looked like he was on his last breath, revealed his true strength in that instant—Half-Step Dou Ling.
Gu Xue reacted just in time as the attack came, immediately tossing the child she was holding, Xiao Yan, toward Xiao Chong!
She then began to fight with the old man who called himself Jia Lie Tian in the cramped room.
However, she was instantly at a disadvantage from the very first exchange.
As the wife of the clan leader, Gu Xue innate talent for cultivation was poor. Although she now possessed the strength of a Dou Ling and was exceptionally healthy and beautiful, her foundation was unstable.
Her Dou Ling strength had been forcibly elevated solely because of Xiao Chong.
Moreover, during this period, she hadn't had any time to learn new combat techniques or the like. Even a Yellow Rank combat technique would take her at least half a month to comprehend.
After all, not everyone was a genius like Xiao Chong, who possessed an extraordinary level of comprehension.
Taking all this into account, Gu Xue was absolutely no match for this assassin, who's only at the Half-Step Dou Ling level!
After briefly realizing this, Gu Xue immediately shouted, "Chong'er! Take your brother and leave here!"
"Heh, what a loving mother... Unfortunately, today I'm here to send you and your two newborn children to the underworld."
As he spoke, Jia Lie Tian shot a lifeless glare at Xiao Chong, as if to say his death was imminent.
However, Jia Lie Tian's hands moved like eagle claws, seemingly intent on killing Gu Xue as quickly as possible.
After all, he was only at the Half-Step Dou Ling level. If the battle dragged on and the Xiao family's Great Dou Shi elders were alerted, they could surround and kill him on the spot, leaving him no chance to escape.
Considering that Xiao Chong was already "crippled," Jia Lie Tian didn't prioritize attacking him.
There was no need. In Jia Lie Tian's assassination plan, Gu Xue remained the highest priority.
As for the other child, Xiao Yan? Although he was indeed a genius, Xiao Chong's brilliance had been so overwhelming that even if he stepped down from his position as a prodigy, not many factions paid much attention to Xiao Yan.
The reason Jia Lie Tian dared to carry out this assassination was because he knew about Xiao Chong's current "serious illness."
The large amount of medicinal herbs piled up in the room further confirmed Jia Lie Tian's suspicions.
Moreover, with Xiao Chong having the mentality of a newborn infant, he was completely unafraid of this Dou Huang.
It's just a pity.
Jia lie Tian guessed wrong on both counts.
