At that moment, the sound of chaotic horse hooves could be heard approaching from the east. After leaving the city gates, they quickly headed east.

"Fifth brother is indeed the Chen family's caravan! I just don't know if that son of a bitch is inside. " One of the spies from the Zhao Family ran back and said respectfully to the fifth brother.

"That should be it. Everyone be more careful. We'll catch up after they leave. It's not good to take action now. Let's wait until there's no one else to attack. We must be clean!" Fifth brother opened his mouth once again and a bloodthirsty look flashed across his face.

Naturally, no one dared to refute. They waited until the Chen family's caravan had moved far away before the Zhao family took out the horse carriage and disguised themselves as a caravan to follow the Chen family's caravan.

When the last ray of the setting sun returned to the horizon, the sky started to darken, but Chen Xiao's convoy did not stop, they instead sped up and headed towards the east.

In the last carriage, Chen Xiao slowly opened his eyes with a slight smile on his face.

Just now, he had a breakthrough.

Although it was not convenient to cultivate inside the carriage, but what kind of person was Chen Xiao?

Adding on the miraculous aspects of the Void Body Refinement Art, even if Chen Xiao did not absorb the surrounding nature spirit energy, he could still easily cultivate and increase his cultivation.

"Two Qi Gathering Pills only allowed me to reach the middle stage of 4-Star Martial Disciple. Although it was a bit worse than expected, it's still okay!" The corner of Chen Xiao's mouth revealed a faint smile, especially after he discovered the special use of the Tower of Void in his body earlier, the smile on his face grew even wider.

After winning more than two hundred thousand gold coins, Chen Xiao immediately spent more than one hundred thousand gold coins to purchase one hundred Qi Gathering Pills. At the same time, he also purchased various heavenly and earthly treasures, among which he had the most medicinal ingredients to raise his cultivation. If he did not have a Universe Ring that he could use to store his own ingredients in, Chen Xiao would have been able to exchange all of those gold coins into pills.

After all, gold coins were useless to him, but pills were different!

These medicinal pellets, after being purified by the black fire from the Tower of Void in his sea of consciousness, were more than twice as effective as before. Not only could they allow Chen Xiao to quickly refine them and raise his cultivation, they could also further inform the strange black dragon itself, lighting up the dragon's scales.

Most importantly, Chen Xiao realized that after communicating with his sea of consciousness, he could directly borrow the power of the dragon's scale!

Ever since the first time the black flames took the initiative to purify the pellets, Chen Xiao already felt that it was a little strange. And after his previous experiments, Chen Xiao had confirmed that the black flames had given some of their medicinal properties to the strange black dragon after purifying the medicinal liquids for Chen Xiao.

This was something that Chen Xiao had coincidentally discovered after noticing the dragon's scale at the very end of the tail of the Black Dragon.

At that time, Chen Xiao had discovered that when the black flame returned with the medicinal liquid, the medicinal liquid had directly flowed into the black dragon's mouth. In the end, a palm-sized dragon scale on the black dragon's tail was slowly lit up.

If the black dragon was said to be dark in color, then the dragon scales that had been lit up were pitch-black in color. They were especially eye-catching!

Of course, the most important thing was that after Chen Xiao connected with the dragon's scale, the power inside the dragon's scale would immediately act on Chen Xiao's body. It was as if Chen Xiao himself possessed this power, he would not feel unfamiliar with controlling it at all.

Although he had not tested it yet, Chen Xiao could roughly feel that that piece of dragon's scale had increased his strength by at least a hundred kilograms!

A piece of dragon's scale was one hundred kilograms, and looking at those eighteen thousand dragon scales in his sea of consciousness, Chen Xiao found it hard to imagine!

Once all these dragon scales were lit up, then how terrifying would his own strength be?

Even when Chen Xiao's cultivation had reached the Peak of the War God back then, his physical strength had only been around one million kilograms. This was with the special emphasis Chen Xiao placed on body tempering in order to achieve this effect.

Once he completely lit up all the dragon's scales, even if he used his physical body, wouldn't he be able to defeat a Martial God Realm Ranker by then?

This was only the power of the dragon's scale.

Of course, it was still too early to think of all these. The current Chen Xiao didn't even know how much energy he would need to light up a dragon's scale.

Just as Chen Xiao was planning to continue consuming pills to cultivate, the convoy had already stopped.

"Everyone, come down to help. We'll sleep out here tonight. We'll set out tomorrow morning!" A deep sound rang out, loud enough for everyone in the caravan to hear clearly.

Chen Xiao knew that it was the leader of the convoy, Cao Meng's voice.

Cao Meng, one of the Chen family's elite guards, was also a member of the Chen family's guard. Because his cultivation had already reached the level of a 3-star Martial Master, he was sent to escort the caravan at the Eastern Cloud Mountain. This time, when Chen Xiao came over, the two of them had already talked on the way there.

Sure enough, before Chen Xiao could stand up, Cao Meng's voice came from outside the carriage: "Young Master Chen Xiao, we will be sleeping out here tonight. Come down and eat something."

"Alright!" Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, then opened the curtain and walked down.

After coming out, Chen Xiao realized that he did not know what the suburbs were, other than a ten metre wide road, the place was filled with low trees. On the left side of the road, the servants of the convoy and the other branches of the Chen family had started a bonfire.

When Chen Xiao came down, those people naturally couldn't help but look at him. It wasn't because of how noble Chen Xiao's status was, but because these people were all very curious about him, a young master of the Chen family whose cultivation had already been crippled was actually sent to the Eastern Cloud Mountain Range. Although it wasn't mining and was only monitoring him, it was enough to prove just how unfavoured Chen Xiao was in the Chen family.

"What are you all staring at? "Hurry up and work, your father is about to starve to death. If you don't set up your tent properly, don't sleep tonight!" Cao Meng took two steps forward and shouted at those people before finally dispersing them.

This scene actually surprised Cao Meng a little, although he did not care much about Chen Xiao, but in the end, he had received the orders from the Chen Family Patriarch that he would take care of Chen Xiao, and it was only natural that he would not dare to disobey the Patriarch's orders.

Following Cao Meng to a bonfire, there were already many people who took out their game and began to roast it. After a while, a fragrant smell drifted out.

A guard of the Chen family held a big plate in his hands, inside it was a roasted chicken that was brought in front of Chen Xiao. He said to the two of them: "This has just been roasted, Captain, Young Master Chen Xiao, try it!"

"Thank you!" Chen Xiao took the initiative to speak, causing Cao Meng and the guard to be stunned, but after a while, they nodded and left.
