Chapter 352: Don’t Enter the Tiger’s Den
But in a blink of an eye, the streets that were originally crowded with people were deserted.
Mr. Bai Qi left, Master Bashan left, Mr. Bai left, the four great scholars of Longtu Pavilion left, and even the thirty-six Bai Jinwei left.
Only Xiao Mian, Fu Qingjue and Bai Zhenzhen were left.
Until this moment, Bai Zhenzhen still couldn't react to what happened before. Obviously, after her father appeared, the power of the Bai family was greatly dominant. Even if Uncle Qi helped Xiao Mian regardless of good or bad, the Bai family could still capture him!
But why... why did they all leave?
At this time, Xiao Mian came to Bai Zhenzhen.
"You! What do you want to do!?"
"Let's go!"
"Let's go? Where are you taking me?"
"Miss Bai! I said you set up such a big battle, isn't it just to invite Xiao to your Bai family? Let's go! Lead the way, go to the Bai family's old house!"
"You..."
"Are you going or not? If not, I'll go back!"
"..."
Although she didn't understand what Xiao Mian was up to, seeing that Xiao Mian didn't intend to embarrass her, Bai Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief and then led the way.
She would never believe that Xiao Mian would go back to the Bai family with her!
However, things once again went beyond Bai Zhenzhen's expectations. Xiao Mian actually followed Bai Zhenzhen step by step and walked slowly towards the Bai family's old house.
Seeing Xiao Mian and Bai Zhenzhen go hand in hand, Fu Qingjue stood there stupidly, and at this moment, a gray-robed figure appeared beside him.
"What? Qingjue, you want to go to the Bai family too?" A laugh startled Fu Qingjue, and when he looked back, he cried out in surprise: "Master Master!"
The person who came was none other than the Five Elements Sect's Master - Dan Qiusheng!
The bell that shocked the whole audience just now was played by Dan Qiusheng's high-level magic weapon, the Five Qi Hunyuan Bell. The Yuanying Patriarch, holding a high-level magic weapon, was more than enough to overwhelm the whole audience.
"Master Master! Go and save Senior Brother Xiao, he went to the Bai family!"
"He wanted to go there himself, how can we save him?"
"But..."
"Qingjue, don't worry! Your Senior Brother Xiao will be fine! I am very pleased to see you brothers helping each other like this." Seeing that Fu Qingjue wanted to say something else, Dan Qiusheng interrupted and said, "Take me to see Senior Shang!"
"..., yes!"
Although Fu Qingjue was a little worried about Xiao Mian, it seemed that Xiao Mian really went to the Bai family voluntarily. Although Fu Qingjue was simple, he was not stupid. Thinking of the previous sluggish performance and the mysterious appearance of Dan Qiusheng, he did not say anything more.
Let's talk about Xiao Mian again. Not long after, he came to the Bai family's old house under the guidance of Bai Zhenzhen.
"Brother, come out quickly! Xiao Mian is here! Yuan Yi! Yuan Xin! Bai Jinning! All of you come out and deal with Xiao Mian, the bastard..." As soon as she entered the gate of the Bai family, Bai Zhenzhen hurriedly shouted. However, the people who greeted her were not the ones she called, but her father, Mr. Bai. After Mr. Bai appeared, he scolded Bai Zhenzhen, and then smiled at Xiao Mian and said, "This is the nephew Xiao of the Five Elements Sect, right? It is true that heroes emerge from youth, and he is a man of talent and elegance!"
"Senior Bai, you are too kind!"
"Since you are here, don't be polite, just treat this place as your own home! Zhenzhen! Why don't you take this little friend Xiao to the East Wing Furong Pavilion and treat him well!"
"Furong Pavilion? That is a residence dedicated to Jindan masters, and this kid..."
"Why don't you go quickly!?"
"..., yes!"
Although Bai Zhenzhen was full of doubts, she also felt that there were many strange things happening today, so she had to lower her head and take Xiao Mian to the Furong Pavilion.
Mr. Bai looked at Xiao Mian's back, his expression uncertain.
After all the calculations, he didn't expect that the newly promoted Yuanying ancestor Dan Qiusheng would actually leave the sect and travel thousands of miles for a small foundation-building cultivator!
This kid is really quite famous!
Humph!
I want to see what tricks you are up to!
Not long after, Xiao Mian sat in the quiet room of Furong Pavilion.
"Why is the head teacher here too?"
Although Xiao Mian did not see Dan Qiusheng show up, Dan Qiusheng had just sent him a telepathic message, telling him to go to the Bai family without any worries. Although Xiao Mian had thought about entering the Bai family before, he hesitated because of his own safety. Now with Dan Qiusheng's instructions, Xiao Mian naturally took the courage to go deep into the tiger's den.
With the protection of the Yuanying Patriarch, the treatment is different!
If he sneaked into the Bai family privately, regardless of whether it was safe or not, it would be good enough if he did not become a prisoner. How could he enjoy the residence of a Jindan strongman like Furong Pavilion?
Just as Xiao Mian was thinking about it, someone came to visit. The visitor was the eldest son of the Bai family - Bai Jintang!
However, Bai Jintang was not invited by Bai Zhenzhen to deal with Xiao Mian. He heard about Xiao Mian's background from Mr. Bai Da and came to test his true self.
"Brother Xiao seems to be in the fake elixir state now? What a pity! Fake elixir cultivators are a very special existence. Although they can exert some of the power of golden elixir cultivators in the foundation-building stage, the consequences are very serious - after the fake elixir cultivator successfully forms the elixir for the second time, the golden elixir formed will be one level lower than the one that succeeded in the first time! If the second elixir formation is not successful, the third golden elixir will be even lower in grade. With Brother Xiao's talent, he should not be trapped in the fake elixir stage. What a pity!"
When Bai Jintang said this, his face was full of regret, but Xiao Mian was unaware of it. After all, the true essence in his body was obtained by trickery, not the patent of fake elixir cultivators.
"I am lucky if I get it, and I will die if I lose it. What the grade of the golden elixir will be in the future, I can only leave it to fate. I would like to ask: I wonder what grade of golden elixir did Brother Bai form?"
"Eighth grade!"
"Brother Bai is worthy of being the top master of the younger generation in Wanzong City! Ninth grade Dao foundation, eighth grade golden elixir, the probability of successfully condensing the infant in the future is as high as 40%..."
Xiao Mian's words are not aimless. According to the consensus of the cultivation world, the grade of a cultivator's golden elixir cannot be higher than the grade of the Dao foundation. With the ninth grade Dao foundation that Bai Jintang had once forged, the highest grade of the golden elixir he could form was the eighth grade, and the eighth grade golden elixir had a maximum probability of 40% to successfully condense the infant, which is already an absurdly high probability.
Eighth grade golden elixir, looking at the entire Wanzong City, there are probably only a dozen or so!
Bai Jintang just shook his head and looked at Xiao Mian meaningfully.
"I heard that Brother Xiao also forged a ninth-grade Dao foundation? His future achievements will not be inferior to Bai's. If Brother Xiao succeeds in forming a pill in the future, you and I can fight!"
Everyone thought that Xiao Mian had forged a ninth-grade Dao foundation, but they didn't know that he actually forged a super-grade Dao foundation. His future achievements could not be guessed by common sense.
"Ninth-grade Dao foundation, just luck! Fighting with you, it's a blessing!"
"Okay! As long as you agree to fight me fairly after forming a pill, I, Bai Jintang, guarantee: Before you form a pill, no one in the Bai family will deal with you!"
"Thank you, Brother Bai!"
Within a few words, the two had decided to fight again after Xiao Mian formed a pill. In this way, the embarrassment of the night was dissipated a lot.
Of course, this decision was not made abruptly. Both of them had their own purposes.
Bai Jintang certainly regarded Xiao Mian as a worthy opponent. If he could defeat Xiao Mian openly after Xiao Mian formed his elixir in the future, he would not only be able to wipe out all the shadows of that night, but also make his cultivation further advanced. For Xiao Mian, agreeing to fight Bai Jintang fairly was like having an extra amulet. At least Bai Jintang would not be able to deliberately deal with him before the duel. Apart from Bai Jintang, Xiao Mian really didn't think much of anyone among the younger generation of cultivators in the Bai family.
Bai Yuanyi, Bai Yuanxin, and Bai Zhenzhen were all just defeated by him!
Let alone how comfortable Xiao Mian was in the Bai family, the situation of the battle in the street had spread throughout Wanzong City in the outside world, and then, one shocking piece of news after another spread.
It is said that Xiao Mian entered the Bai family's old house alone.
It is also said that Xiao Mian and Bai Jintang, the eldest son of the Bai family, made a battle agreement.
It is also said that Xiao Mian and Bai Zhenzhen, the third daughter of the Bai family, made a marriage agreement.
…
Several pieces of news were related to Xiao Mian and the Bai family, which made Xiao Mian, who had been missing for more than a month, come back into everyone's sight and become the topic of conversation for many casual cultivators. It also stunned everyone, including Patriarch Yu Chu.
When Patriarch Yu Chu heard that Xiao Mian was besieged by the Bai family in the downtown area, he wanted to go there in person to rescue him, but gave up when he received a magic sword for sound transmission.
As for Ding Kaishan, Jing Chu and others, although they were also anxious about Xiao Mian's situation, they had to stay put when they saw that Patriarch Yu Chu was so determined.
But privately, the two of them complained in their hearts: Could it be that Xiao Mian was knocked unconscious by the spirit stone?
It would be fine if he entered the Bai family, but he actually wanted to marry that witch Bai Zhenzhen?
