The next day
Xiao Jian didn't train and spent the entire day accompanying Xiao Yu as they strolled through Utan City.
Although they had both grown up here and had visited almost every corner, their purpose wasn't really shopping—it was just to relax and enjoy each other's company.
The person beside them mattered most.
In the evening, after Xiao Jian sent Xiao Yu back to her room in a newly bought red dress, he returned to his own room to continue training.
In the short term, aside from bonding with Xiao Yu and Yafei, there wasn't much else to do.
Training was the most important.
Four days later, it would be time to enter the Dou Qi Pavilion to look for a Dou Qi technique.
However, Xiao Jian didn't plan to go.
The family's Dou Techniques and martial skills were weak. Even the best ones were only high-level Yellow Rank.
Even Xiao Zhan's "Raging Lion Fury" was only a mid-level Xuan rank technique.
It still had some gaps compared to the Xuan Ice Technique he was cultivating.
Moreover, for wind-attribute techniques, the "Wind Whirl Strike" previously bought by the Galia family was a high-level Xuan rank technique and seemed to come with a Dou Skill.
He would need an opportunity to take it back.
He couldn't remain secluded in Utan City forever. The key now was to consolidate Utan City under the Xiao family, turning it into their stronghold.
With the Mittel family's help, only then could the Xiao family grow stronger.
Only when his father and the three elders advanced to Dou Ling could the Xiao family become a force in Utan City and nearby territories that no one dared provoke.
A Grand Dou Master could lead any small faction, but across the entire Kama Empire, it was still insufficient.
As for consolidating power, the Galia and Oba families had to be eliminated.
These two families were bloodline-based forces, and it would be difficult for the Xiao family, which wasn't directly related and not too far behind in strength, to fully absorb them.
Blood ties maintained family relations, and even huge rewards couldn't sever them.
Keeping untrustworthy subordinates would be foolish.
Given Xiao Jian's style, the Galia and Oba families would definitely be destroyed.
But to what extent was still being considered.
Over the years, the three major families of Utan City had clashed, with casualties.
Powerful figures like Galia Bi and Oba Pa, along with their high-ranking members, would have to die to prevent any future resurgence.
After all, the potential enemies of the Xiao family were the Yunlan Sect and the Soul Hall.
If something went wrong and they took advantage later, it would be disastrous.
Perhaps it was best to eliminate them entirely?
A trace of ruthlessness rose in Xiao Jian's mind.
Although extreme, from the Xiao family's perspective, wiping out enemy families was the safest approach.
Still, he would first see what his father and the three elders thought.
After all, he had never managed a family from this angle, so acting rashly could be wrong.
The most important thing now was training. A three-star Dou Master wasn't enough!
After all, there was no Yao Lao in his ring. Even if he fought desperately, he could only match other Dou Masters. There was still a significant gap from a Grand Dou Master.
Strength!
Clenching his fist, Xiao Jian formed hand seals and began training.
Four days later, at noon,
Someone knocked on Xiao Jian's door.
"Xiao Yan, come in."
Xiao Jian, snapping out of his training, said.
Hearing the knock, he knew it was Xiao Yan.
"Brother, I need some medicinal herbs, but… I don't have enough money."
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose awkwardly.
He had borrowed money from Xun'er last time and hadn't repaid it yet, so it was embarrassing to ask again.
After thinking it over, he decided to ask his own brother for help.
"Medicinal herbs? Check if you already have what you need."
Xiao Jian knew Xiao Yan wanted Yao Lao to refine the Qi Gathering Powder. He smiled and handed Xiao Yan a storage ring.
Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned.
"Didn't you have the Grand Elder deal with the Huang Jing? I got his storage ring, and there are plenty of herbs inside. See if it's enough."
