Approaching the heavy door, there were over 10 guards with indifferent eyes standing firmly in front of the gate, restricting it. At one corner of the gate in the chair, sat a man who looked aloof. In his hand was a pen and a thick book.
At this time many clan members were marching in front of the old man, each of them had brought any Qi Method to him so that they could sign it. After doing so, they carefully left the pavilion under the cold gazes of 10 guards or so.
This was the procedure for leaving the Qi Method Pavilion. Before entering the Qi Method Pavilion, Xiao Yan and everyone were informed of the procedure, therefore it was not something unexpected.
The Qi Method Pavilion was a place where all the Qi Methods of the clan were held; a method that was painstakingly obtained by the clan for more than tens of generations. This Qi Method was the foundation of the Xiao Clan, so the clan had an extremely protective action against the method.
The clan had Qi Method scrolls made of a special type of bamboo. Bamboo can be described as a mother-child. The parent part is about the size of a palm while the child part can grow up to a dozen meters. Since the technique scrolls were made from this special material, as long as the clan head held the mother part, there was no way anyone could sneak away with the scroll. The moment someone left the area with a boy's scroll, the mother scroll would tell everyone.
The area of Old Man influence happened to cover the entire Xiao Clan. Therefore, after the scroll technique left the Xiao Clan, it was detected. Of course, nothing is absolute in this world. A person with a sufficiently strong Dou Qi could forcefully destroy the connection between the scrolls. However, with strength at that level, why would anyone bother stealing the Huang level Qi Method…?
Finally it was Xiao Yan's turn after queuing for a period of time. Walking forward, he took out the Qi Method from his pocket and gave it to the old man.
Receiving the deep red scroll from Xiao Yan made the old man a little surprised. His eyes quickly assessed the boy as he thought to himself, “This, [Fire Flame Refinement], is protected by a shield with the strength of the 9th Duan Qi. This little boy, to think he could really get through it…. It seems he has some skills. ”
After recording that Xiao Yan had the scroll, the old man returned it to him and nonchalantly warned, “I think you know the rules, right?”
“The scroll could not leave the clan, otherwise there would be severe consequences! You must return the scroll after one year! There can be no damage to him. ”
Casually nodding his head, Xiao Yan moved to the side. He leaned against the front door and waited for the Xun Er scroll to be recorded.
Smiling lightly at Xiao Yan, Xun Er stretched out her snow-white wrist and took out her scroll.
Seeing Xun Er standing in front of him, the emotionless face of the old man suddenly let out a slight respectful smile. Using both of his hands to receive the scroll, he then quickly took down the borrower of the scroll.
Standing to the side, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes at the old man after seeing the change in his attitude. Xiao Yan's fingers slightly curved instinctively. Since this old man was in charge of the Qi Method Pavilion, his position in the clan was comparable to one of the 3 elders.
Xiao Yan had heard that the nickname of this old man in the clan, Xiao Han was cold-hearted. This old man, even if it was for his own father, would still speak in an unfamiliar way. Emotionless old face, like the muscles of a recently deceased person, stiffened from rigor mortis. .
Rubbing his nose, he thought about how every time Xun Er kept silent about his identity. Raising his head, he saw Xun Er coming with a smile on her face. Shrugging his shoulders, he went with her through the front door.
Bursting out from the bustling entrance, Xiao Yan inhaled a breath of fresh air. The atmosphere within the Qi Method Pavilion was too pressing to breathe normally.
“What's up, Yan Er?” A low laugh greeted Xiao Yan as a figure came into sight. Looking through the door of the Qi Method Pavilion, the figure asked with a smile.
Tilting his head to smile at his father, Xiao Yan nodded back with his own smile. A red scroll came out from inside his sleeve, “I understand.”
Looking at the red scroll, Xiao Zhan breathed in the air sharply, “It is fortunate that you can get it.” He said in a low voice.
Seeing his father's expression, Xiao Yan could not help but laugh proudly beside him.
Stretching out his arms to pat Xiao Yan on the shoulder, Xiao Zhan smiled, “Now you have the Qi Method, once you become a Dou Zhe, then you will be able to practice Dou Qi for real.”
Xiao Yan nodded obediently as he returned the red scroll to his sleeve. He couldn't help but think slowly, “Hmm, I don't know what's special about that Qi Method. Qi Methods that can evolve...is that possible? ”
“This is even stranger than the Tian level Qi Method ..” Trying to recall the strange yet arrogant words of Yao Lao. Xiao Yan shook his head while bitterly laughing. He had just discovered one of the best Qi Methods of his life: Xun Er's High Level Qi Xuan Method: Fire Manipulation. To be honest, he had an internal tussle when he rejected it. After all, Qi Methods of that caliber were not only expensive but extremely rare.
Massaging his forehead with open palms, he began to regret having rejected Xun Er's kindness but his deeds had already been done, it was too late. Xiao Yan had no face to ask Xun Er anymore for that, so he had no choice but to pray that Yao Lao would not play around with her. Otherwise, he would be the biggest loser of all.
“Hmph, this is just High Xuan, there is nothing special about that. Even though he is abnormal, his Qi Method collection cannot possibly be compared to mine. ” Just when Xiao Yan was praying for Yao Lao not to cheat, Yao Lao was slightly comforted and started talking.
“Finally you said something ...” Hearing that voice in his own mind, Xiao Yan scratched his nose. His mouth moved upwards into a pleasant smile as he spoke; the point of saying so much was so that he could force the old man to say something soothing.
“Ai ... you little brat, trying to trick me..” An echo came out from inside Xiao Yan's mind. Yao Lao did not know whether to laugh or cry and instead said, “Son, continue practicing Dou Qi. The Qi Method is not something you need to worry about: My Qi Method will not be shabby. In the future, your achievements will not be inferior to that little girl. Her clan is. Ahem. ”
Although Xiao Yan was disappointed that the last sentence was incomprehensible, he still nodded with a smile; he was given the answer to his question so that he could concentrate on practicing Dou Qi so that he could become a Dou Zhe. This was the first step he had to take in order for him to become strong and .. for him to find Nalan Yanran who had been on his mind for quite some time …
