beginning. From Lei Li's body, thunder constantly surged from every organ, making him seem like the very source of lightning, capable of unleashing an endless torrent of it.These bolts of lightning..."Elixir!"

The two words that Qiao Zihan uttered from her mouth caused Jiang Yun to be stunned for a moment, but immediately afterward, his expression relaxed, and he let out a long sigh.

Of course, he had already understood the reason for things.

This gluttonous firebird, as it calls itself, couldn't resist the allure of the medicinal pills on Qiao Zihan's person and simply snatched them up and devoured them.

Jiang Yun still thought that this firebird had committed some heinous crime, something that angered heaven and earth, causing everyone to resent it. It turned out it had only stolen a single pill.

This kind of thing, in Ginger Cloud's eyes, was utterly insignificant, a trivial matter beyond consideration.

However, compared to the ease on Jiang Yun's face, Liu Peng's face had turned ashen white.

Even though Ginger Cloud's black bird had caused trouble, he still thought that with the Liu family's strength, they could settle this matter. At most, it would just cost them some price.

But now, he didn't dare to think that way anymore.

Although the expressions of Yu Bo and others were not as shocked as Liu Peng's, they too showed astonishment and realization.

Medicines, for Ginger Cloud, are indeed nothing special. Or put in another world, it's not a big deal either.

But this is a prison!

In times of extreme scarcity of resources, even a low-grade elixir like a fasting pill is incredibly valuable.

And if it were pills that could increase cultivation level and possess other special effects, their value would be unimaginable.

Therefore, having a pill stolen within the prison is indeed something that could drive one mad. No wonder Qiao Zihan is so furious.

"In that case, that black bird was indeed too hateful!"

After understanding the whole story, Yuan Bo also showed anger on his face and said: "Young Master Qiao, please rest assured, as long as that black bird is in our Liu family, we will definitely not let it escape."

As for Elder Cousin's words, Qiao Zihan merely smirked at the corner of her mouth and waited silently.

Finally, the Liu family members who had gone into the manor to look for the black bird returned one by one, each shaking their heads and saying they hadn't found anything.

And then Yuan Bo, after scanning the crowd, found that only Liu Peng hadn't returned.

However, even at this time, Yuan Bo did not pay too much attention, and he didn't think that the black bird was now standing on Jiang Yun's shoulder.

After all, since he first saw Ginger Cloud, up until now, he hadn't seen any black birds appear around her.

At the same time, Liu Peng gritted his teeth and said to Jiang Yun: "Senior Gu, you should go back to the house immediately and never let your bird show its face again."

After finishing his words, Liu Peng didn't wait for Jiang Yun's response and turned to run out.

It's obvious he's already made his decision, to cover for Jiang Yun.

However, Ginger Cloud watched Liu Peng's retreating figure, but instead walked by herself, following behind Liu Peng toward the gate of the Liu family.

Of course, Jiang Yun wouldn't let the Liu family speak up for her in this matter.

However, he also wanted to see just how much the Liu family valued him through this.

Liu Peng only felt a flash before his eyes, Jiang Yun's figure had already overtaken him. This made him instantly understand Jiang Yun's plan, his face changed again, and he hurriedly changed direction, running towards his father's house.

At this time, Yuan Bo also spread his hands to Qiao Zihang and said: "Mr. Qiao, we really didn't find anything black..."

"Enough!"

Jo Zihan suddenly let out a roar, interrupting Yuan Bo's words: "You don't need to put on a show for me here. Your family's pet blackbird won't be handed over, of course."

Qiao Zihang's domineering attitude finally made Yuan Bo, who had repeatedly humbled himself, show a hint of anger on his face. "Mr. Qiao, what do you want to do"

"Since you refuse to hand it over willingly, then of course we'll have to take it ourselves!"

As he finished speaking, the group of people around him immediately surged toward the Liu family gate.

Yuan Bo's spiritual cultivation erupted, and he shouted in a booming voice, "Young Master Qiao, don't go too far!"

At this moment, outside Liu's Manor, the crowd had already gathered to watch the commotion. If Uncle Far was truly to let Qiao Zihans' men barge in and openly search the manor, then from that point on, Liu's family would have no place to stand in this region.

As the air crackled with tension, a battle about to erupt, Jiang Yun finally reached the door and calmly said, "Stop it all. This black bird is mine!"

Upon hearing Ginger Cloud's words, coupled with the black bird standing on his shoulder, Yuan Bo and the other Liu family members were all stunned into silence. They gaped at him, unable to utter a word.

"Haha!"

Qiao Zihan suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Liu Yuan, what did you just say Do you have the face to repeat it now!"

Before Elder Farber could speak, Jiang Yun had already taken a step forward and addressed Qiao Zihan: "Young Master Qiao, I think you've misunderstood. Although this blackbird is indeed raised by me, I am not from the Liu family."

Hearing this, Qiao Zihan couldn't help but be taken aback.

At first glance, he was so overjoyed to see Ginger Cloud and Blackbird that he didn't even notice Ginger Cloud's appearance.

Now that Jiang Yun said this, he realized that he had never met Jiang Yun before.

But then his eyes narrowed, "Even if you aren't a member of the Liu family, since you live in their home, you can't escape association with them. So tell me, what are the Liu family planning to do"

Jiang Yun said no more.

Because Liu Zhen Dong had already strode out, followed closely behind by the anxious-faced Liu Peng.

As for what had happened, Liu Zhendong actually knew about it all along. Originally, he didn't want to get involved in such a trivial matter.

But even he hadn't expected that the black bird causing all this trouble would actually belong to Jiang Yun. This left him with no choice but to show himself.

Liu Zhending swept his eyes around, paying special attention to the blackbird on Jiang Yun's shoulder. Then he turned to Qiao Zihang and said, "Young Master Qiao, it is true that my Liu family was in the wrong this time. Just tell me what you want!"

Jo Zihan chuckled darkly and said, “My Jo family has always been fair in our dealings. As long as you return the black bird’s stolen elixir, this matter will be dropped!”

Of course, I estimate that your Liu family wouldn't be able to come up with the same kind of elixir. As long as you compensate us at market value, it would be fine.

Liu Zhendong continued to ask: "I wonder, what kind of pills did this black bird steal"

Qiao Zihang said word by word: "Yun Ling Dan!"

These three words instantly made everyone watching gasp in shock.

Yu Ling Dan, a Grade 5 elixir, as its name suggests, is an elixir that contains spiritual energy.

According to the grade, the amount of spiritual energy it contains also varies.

The Heaven Stairs' Profound Spirit Pill contains spiritual energy that could nearly sustain a Dao Spirit Realm early-stage cultivator for a month of absorption!

Even in the outside world, Yu Ling Dan is extremely precious, let alone within this prison.

Being able to absorb pure, unadulterated spiritual energy is a truly wonderful thing for cultivators in the Dao Prison.

Liu Zhendong's face also changed slightly, and he couldn't help but steal a glance at Jiang Yun.

The elixir of life, of course, the Liu family didn't have it.

Although the Liu family could come up with an equivalent amount of compensation, this sum is really quite large.

Most importantly, this compensation is to be paid by Jiang Yun, which forces Liu Zhendong to think carefully.

Now, looking at Jiang Yun, even though he had just stepped forward and admitted that the blackbird belonged to him, and explained that he wasn't from the Liu family, he remained silent now.

Jiang Yun naturally wanted to use this incident to see how the Liu family treated him.

And Liu Jia's attitude, naturally, also determined his attitude towards the Liu family in the future.

Liu Zhendong kept weighing in his mind the compensation for Jiang Yun and Yùnlíng Dan. To his Liu family, which was more valuable
