Within the Lan family ancestral hall.

In front of Xia Xing were ten spirit stones that had been completely devoured. Rather than calling it a spirit stone, it would be more accurate to call it a genuine spirit stone.

But this time, Xia Xinghe spent two days and two nights to finally absorb ten mid-grade spirit stones, which was equivalent to a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

This time, Xia Xinghe absorbed the spiritual energy for a long time, not because it was difficult to achieve a breakthrough, but because Xia Xinghe had just stepped into the Heaven's Perception and his cultivation was unstable. In order to further consolidate his cultivation base, Xia Xinghe purposely delayed the breakthrough.

This included the cultivation resources required. In reality, eight Medial Grade Spirit Stones were sufficient. However, Xia Xinghe had consumed ten Medial Grade Spirit Stones in order to consolidate his cultivation.

"The three mid-grade spirit stones obtained from the Fang family should be the ones that have just evolved from low-grade to mid-grade. The intensity of their spirit energy cannot be compared with the mid-grade spirit stones from the three families; it's simply a fake mid-grade spirit stone. What's funny is that these fake spirit stones are the Fang family's best resources …"

Previously, when he was in the Heaven's Palace Mirror, Xia Xingchen had swallowed three Fang family's Medial Grade Spirit Stones, but the effect was very ordinary. Now, after comparing the three families' Medial Grade Spirit Stones, the pros and cons immediately came out.

The Fang family only had three Medial Grade Spirit Stones which had absorbed sufficient amount of Spiritual Qi. The Medial Grade Spirit Stone which had just completed its transformation was equivalent to the difference between a newly brewed Spirit Stone and an aged Spirit Stone.

Why didn't Xia Xinghe notice anything different about the Fang family's Spirit Stones?

It was very simple. Not to mention the lowest grade of low-grade spirit stones, even the top grade spirit stones would not be taken seriously when the Star Emperor's cultivation was weak.

Because the intensity of the spiritual energy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Hells was stronger than the spiritual energy contained in these Spirit Level Spirit Stones, the Star Level Spirit Stones were the starting point for cultivators. Therefore, even though the Star King had lived for 10,000 years, he had never come into contact with Spirit Level Spirit Stones.

At this moment, a series of light and hurried footsteps came from outside the ancestral hall. When the footsteps reached the entrance, it stopped, as if hesitating as to whether or not to knock.

Xia Xinghe immediately collected himself and said lightly, "Come in."

On one side, as Xia Xinghe's voice faded, Lan Tong pushed open the door and entered the ancestral hall.

"Young Master Xia, luckily you came out of seclusion …" Lan Tong couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Xia Xinghe's aura full of vigor.

However, this was the first time he had seen someone like Xia Xingchen. Although the consumption was enormous, he was still able to recover in just two days and two nights as a monster. Most importantly, Lan Tong was able to easily see through Xia Xinghe's cultivation, which was the second stage of the Heaven's Perfection!

Two days and two nights later, not only had he made up for all the losses he had suffered, his cultivation had also risen by a level …

Staring at Xia Xinghe, Lan Tong couldn't help but think in his heart, "Demon!"

"Seeing that you're in such a hurry, has something happened?" Xia Xinghe's voice was exceptionally calm.

"It's like this, young master Xia. There's good news and bad news. Let me tell you the bad news first." "The Ye Clan and the Zhao Clan have sent almost all of their forces to the Dragon Slaying Mountain Range. According to Young Master Xia's instructions, they began a carpet search of the Dragon Slaying Mountain Range. However, in the past two days, they did not find any of the sealing barriers that the Grand Princess had seen."

"They couldn't find the barrier, but they lost quite a few people?" Xia Xinghe's sword-like eyebrows twitched, this matter seemed a little strange.

"On the first night, the Ye and Zhao Families spread out and set up their tents on the Dragon Slaying Mountain. They directly stationed themselves on the Dragon Slaying Mountain, but on the morning of the second day, a camp was immediately massacred. It was in the dead of night, and without any warning or sound, it was completely exterminated!" Lan Tong's expression became extremely complicated, "The second day, which is to say, last night, I personally went to Dragon Slaying Mountain. I didn't sleep the entire night, but on the second day, another thirty people were slaughtered by me!"

Hearing Lan Tong's words, Xia Xinghe immediately furrowed his brows.

Lan Tong was at the first level of the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror. In Eastsea City, he could be considered one of the top experts. However, without him discovering anything, a small team of thirty people was annihilated in the blink of an eye?

This meant that the cultivation base of the person who had made a move was definitely higher than Lan Tong's, and there was even more!

A small team of thirty people, along with the first night of killing, patrolling, and being on guard, would definitely be at the highest level. A squad of thirty people, along with the first night of killing, patrolling, and being on guard, would definitely be at the highest level, but in this kind of situation, they would be quietly wiped out.

"The Grand Princess guessed that there must be another force that has entered Dragon Slaying Mountain, and it definitely is not the TianChu Martial Academy. If it was the TianChu Martial Academy, they would definitely come to find you, Young Master Xia, and not those shrimp soldiers and crab generals on the Dragon Slaying Mountain!" Lan Tong took in a deep breath, his face filled with worry as he said in a deep voice, "These hunters hidden in the darkness definitely know about the ancient ruins. Moreover, they are already targeting us!"

"A hunter hidden in the dark?" A sneer surfaced on Xia Xinghe's lips, "Tell Ye Qingsu and Zhao Mu to have their people continue their search during the day and gather at night."

"Got it!" Lan Tong nodded his head heavily. Xia Xinghe's words was the only way left for now. If the Ye and Zhao Families continued to be massacred, the search for the Dragon Slaying Mountain would definitely be affected.

"There's another good thing. What is it?" Xia Xinghe's tone was terrifyingly calm.

"After two days of hunting and harvesting, the other families and rogue cultivators in Eastsea City have gathered quite a bit of elixirs and neidan and placed them outside the ancestral hall." At the mention of this matter, a smile returned to Lan Tong's face.

Once the elixir and inner pellet were ready, Xia Xingchen would be able to refine even more elixirs. As long as the elixir could be guaranteed, then facing the fierce battle that was to follow, his chances of winning would increase.

After saying this, Lan Tong walked out of the ancestral hall. He called over a dozen guards of the Lan family and carried the medicinal resources collected by gathering the power of the entire city into the ancestral hall.

Xia Xingchen only took a glance, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face …
