The head of the Cheng family dismissed the others and took Xiao Zining to a basement alone.

"Hahaha, Xiao Xiao, you really gave me a big surprise!"

It wasn't until they reached a deserted place that the head of the Cheng family laughed out loud.

At this moment, he felt infinitely happy. After many years, the Cheng family could finally squeeze into the top three in the martial arts competition! Not only the top three, but also directly won the first place in the martial arts competition!

If this kind of thing happened in the past, others would think it was whimsical.

Xiao Zining smiled lightly and replied, "I will naturally not break my promise if I promise something."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

The head of the Cheng family laughed and said hello three times, "Come with me. Now it's time to give you what I promised you."

Xiao Zining was shocked in his heart. The head of the Cheng family had promised him that if he could enter the top three in the martial arts competition, the Cheng family would give him a middle-grade spiritual stone.

Xiao Zining has not seen middle-grade spiritual stones since he came to Kunlun. It is said that they are very rare. It takes a thousand low-grade spiritual stones to equal the value of one medium-grade spiritual stone.

What a terrifying concept.

The spiritual energy in the low-grade spiritual stones was pure and rich enough. Xiao Zining was very curious as to what kind of mid-grade spiritual stones could be worth thousands of low-grade spiritual stones?!

The head of the Cheng family brought Xiao Zining to a secret room. He asked Xiao Zining to wait for him outside, while he entered the secret room himself.

A few minutes later.

The head of the Cheng family just came out of the secret room.

He also held a dark brocade box in his hand, which was covered with dim golden inscriptions.

"Spirit Locking Formation?"

When Xiao Zining saw the inscription, such a name unconsciously popped into his mind, and he even blurted it out.

The head of the Cheng family looked at Xiao Zining in surprise, "Do you know the formation above?"

Xiao Zining shook his head. He just felt that the inscription looked familiar and it popped out suddenly. Xiao Zining didn't know why he thought it was a spirit locking formation.

The head of the Cheng family glanced at Xiao Zining with some doubts. How could he recognize him at a glance if he didn't know him?

"This is indeed a spirit-locking formation, but the spirit-locking formation above is the lowest level. It is mainly used to block the spiritual energy of the middle-grade spiritual stones from leaking out."

Then he handed the brocade box to Xiao Zining.

The spiritual energy in the spirit stone does not prevent it from leaking out, but it does so very slowly. If it is carried by someone, it doesn't matter if it is knocked down, because the spirit stone nourishes people, and people nourish the spirit stone.

The spiritual energy overflowing from the spiritual stone will be absorbed by the warrior's Dantian unconsciously. At the same time, the spiritual power emitted by the warrior during cultivation will also be absorbed by the spiritual stone.

"This middle-grade spiritual stone was accidentally obtained by my Cheng family decades ago and has been stored here. Now, I will give it to you."

The head of the Cheng family solemnly handed the middle-grade spiritual stone to Xiao Zining. This was the only middle-grade spiritual stone in the Cheng family. It was very precious, but the head of the Cheng family still took it out.

Xiao Zining didn't expect that the middle-grade spiritual stone would be so precious. He was a little confused, "It's so precious, why would you give it to me as a reward?"

The head of the Cheng family sighed quietly, "Because, the middle-grade spiritual stone contains huge spiritual energy. Not only is it extremely pure, it is also very powerful and majestic. It cannot be digested by ordinary warriors."

"If a warrior who is not strong enough forcibly absorbs the middle-grade spiritual stone, his body will be violent because his Dantian cannot bear it. Only super-powerful warriors above the mid-4th level of extraordinary extraordinary can absorb the middle-grade spiritual stone."

"And it will be very difficult for the original Cheng family to produce a strong person above the mid-level fourth level in the next ten years."

The head of the Cheng family felt a little emotional. The Cheng family was just a second-rate family. It would be extremely difficult to cultivate a strong person above the mid-level fourth level.

He looked at Xiao Zining, his tone extremely serious.
