Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

That night.

Li Youruo, Chen Ziyi, and others also arrived at Xiaoshanhe Institute in succession.

Everyone gathered together.

This time...

It was no longer as deserted as before.

Just the people brought by Li Youruo and Chen Ziyi numbered over seventy, and with the confidants that Li Jinjun and Hai Wei brought, the count had already surpassed a hundred.

Among them, there were thirty-seven powerful practitioners above the Tao Tribulation Realm.

There were five at the Tao Tribulation Realm Peak.

Hai Wei, Li Jinjun, Li Youruo, Chen Ziyi, and his wife Zhou Jing.

Five great Tao Tribulation Realm Peak powerhouses, thirty-two practitioners above the Tao Tribulation Realm, along with Xiao Yi, Xue Bufan, and Yu Huaxian, brought the number of Tao Tribulation Realm strong practitioners in Xiaoshanhe Institute to forty.

Yu Huaxian looked at the people present, shook his head with a sigh, and said, "How do I feel like I'm becoming less and less useful here with Xiao?"

Elder Yan's eye corner twitched, "Then what about me?"

His cultivation was only at the Golden Core Realm.

In front of the Tao Tribulation Realm powerhouses, he was as fragile as an ant.

Yu Huaxian glanced at him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, you have your disciple to back you up!"

"Damn..."

Elder Yan glared fiercely at him.

Xiao Yi scanned the crowd and said, "When you left your respective sects, there were no complications, I hope?"

Hai Wei and Li Jinjun shook their heads and said, "Our confidants are all in the capital, so there were no other incidents. However, Elder Li and Elder Chen did encounter some obstacles on the way!"

Xiao Yi nodded and looked towards Chen Ziyi.

He already knew about the pursuit of Li Youruo by the Deputy Sect Master of Three Seas Mountain, but Chen Ziyi had not said much. However, Xiao Yi sensed a hint of blood on him.

Chen Ziyi remained silent.

Zhou Jing gave a bitter smile and said, "Xiao, my husband Chen is in a bad mood because his direct disciple did not come back with us. Please forgive him!"

Xiao Yi hummed in acknowledgment, but seeing Chen Ziyi's complexion, he knew it was not as simple as just the missing direct disciple, "Ziyi, what exactly happened?"

Chen Ziyi sighed softly and said, "Master, my direct disciple exposed me, and on the way here, we were intercepted by practitioners from the Dharma Manifestation Realm. My second disciple was captured while trying to protect us, and I know nothing of their life or death..."

Xiao Yi's pupils contracted slightly.

A betrayal by a direct disciple and the capture of the second disciple while they covered their escape.

No wonder Chen Ziyi was so heavy-hearted.

Xiao Yi patted his shoulder and said solemnly, "Ziyi, rest assured, I will definitely bring back your second disciple!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Chen Ziyi nodded, still looking disheartened.

After all, that was someone who fell into the hands of Wendao Villa.

Even a Dharma Manifestation Realm practitioner wouldn't dream of taking someone from Wendao Villa, let alone Xiao Yi, who was only at the First Layer of the Tao Tribulation Realm. Wendao Villa would never release a captive!

Xiao Yi was of course aware of Chen Ziyi's concerns, but he did not elaborate further. Instead, he turned to the others and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since you have joined Xiaoshanhe Institute, you are from now on my companions. I, Xiao Yi, hereby assure you that I will never let you regret today's decision!"

With that said,

Xiao Yi glanced at Lin Bingxin beside him.

Lin Bingxin stepped forward immediately, taking out a chest from her storage ring.

Clang!

Lin Bingxin opened the chest, and everyone's gaze converged on it. Inside the chest were scrolls piled up.

Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

Under the confused gazes of the group, Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "During dinner, I observed everyone, and these scrolls are martial arts techniques tailored for you. Your names are on them, as gifts to welcome you to Xiaoshanhe Institute!"

A martial art specifically tailored for the individual?

The crowd was taken aback.

Some marveled.

Some were puzzled.

Others scoffed.

They all came from Three Seas Mountain and Wendao Villa, which, compared to the declining Xiaoshanhe Institute, were behemoth sects.

They didn't think Xiao Yi could offer any high-level martial arts.

Xiao Yi didn't explain but just smiled, watching everyone.

He was, after all, the heir to the Dao Yan legacy.

And who was Dao Yan?

He was the strongest martial theory master in the history of Qingtian Realm, who had created countless martial arts and cultivation techniques in his lifetime. For Xiao Yi, who possessed Dao Yan's inheritance, to tailor martial arts and techniques for the powerhouses beneath the Longevity Secret Realm was simply a matter of ease.

Lin Bingxin distributed the scrolls to everyone.

Xiao Yi said with a smile, "Take a look for yourselves!"

Everyone thought to just put the scrolls away, but seeing Xiao Yi suggesting so, they opened them half-heartedly.

Upon looking...

The crowd couldn't recover their senses.

Each one was dumbfounded, their attitudes shifting from casual to astonished, staring at the scrolls intently, reading every word with great focus.

Even Chen Ziyi and the four others at the peak of the Tao Tribulation Realm were staring at the scroll's content with serious expressions. Some furrowed their brows, some marveled, some were puzzled, and some suddenly understood...

Buzz!

Suddenly, a terrifying surge of aura burst forth as Li Youruo suddenly lifted his head to look at Xiao Yi and knelt on the ground with a thud, "Thank you, Master, for your gift. I have sensed the opportunity to break through to the Dharma Manifestation Realm, and I request your permission to enter seclusion to strive for it!"

"Granted!"

Xiao Yi nodded, then turned to Lin Bingxin, "Take Youruo to..."

Before he could finish,

Another buzz echoed.

Chen Ziyi trembled all over, his eyes shining with a brilliant light, and he too knelt with a thud, "Thank you, Master, for your gift. I, too, have sensed the opportunity to break through to the Dharma Manifestation and need to enter seclusion to attack the realm!"@@novelbin@@

"Very good, very good, two Dharma Manifestations in a single day, what worries could Xiaoshanhe Institute have about not thriving?"

Xiao Yi laughed heartily, having anticipated that the contents of the scroll could lead them to breakthroughs but not expecting it to happen so quickly. Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, "Both of you go and seclude yourselves in the secret chamber. However, you must inform me in advance when you're about to break through. I will take you to a secluded place for your breakthroughs!"

Nowadays, everyone looked down on Xiaoshanhe Institute.

They didn't think it could be revitalized.

At this time, of course, he couldn't reveal all his strength in front of everyone. He had to conceal his power. When the time came for the ancestral worship ceremony, several Dharma Manifestation experts would emerge alongside a host of strong disciples cultivated by Xiaoshanhe Institute.

At that time...

It would certainly shock everyone!

"Xiao, I can hardly wait to see the expressions on Nangong Shengtian and others' faces when they see our Xiaoshanhe Institute suddenly boasting so many experts!"

"Hahaha, it will definitely be very exciting!"

The crowd laughed in agreement.

With the guidance of Xiao Yi, Li Youruo, and Chen Ziyi on the verge of their breakthroughs, the other powerhouses who received the scrolls also had significant gains. The way they looked at Xiao Yi was now filled with an intense warmth and inner admiration.

The experts brought by Li Youruo and others were already won over by Xiao Yi.

Phew!

Xiao Yi let out a long breath, squinted his eyes toward the star-studded night sky outside the door, and muttered to himself, "As long as we solve the Dan medicine resource supply, the rise of Xiaoshanhe Institute is within reach!"
