After returning to his room from the back mountain, Xiao Lei quickly washed up and went to bed.
The night passed uneventfully.
When the warm morning sun shone through the window onto the bed, Xiao Lei naturally woke up.
After washing up, Xiao Lei left his room to get something to eat.
Pushing open the door, he saw Xiao Yan's slender figure waiting quietly.
In his hand, he carried a gray cloth bag.
"Good morning, Cousin Xiao Lei!" Seeing Xiao Lei come out, Xiao Yan took the initiative to greet him.
"Good morning," Xiao Lei smiled, then said, "What brings you here so early?"
Xiao Yan waved the gray cloth bag in his hand and said, "A while ago, Cousin Xiao Lei lent me over a thousand gold coins, and I've come today to repay the loan."
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "I told you there was no rush."
"Although I know Cousin Xiao Lei isn't short of money, since I borrowed the money, I naturally have to repay it," Xiao Yan said earnestly, handing the gray cloth bag to Xiao Lei.
"Hehe, then I'll accept it," Xiao Lei chuckled, taking the cloth bag from Xiao Yan's hand.
As he took the bag, he inadvertently touched Xiao Yan's hand, and instantly, the system's familiar voice rang in his mind again.
[Ding! You touched Xiao Yan, obtaining an invisibility cloak!]
An invisibility cloak?
Hearing the system reward, Xiao Lei's heart skipped a beat.
Yesterday he won the Secret Technique of Hearing the Wind, and today he got an invisibility cloak. It seems the system's rewards aren't limited to the Dou Qi world!
The Secret Technique of Hearing the Wind seems to be one of the abilities of He Yiming, the protagonist of Martial God.
And this invisibility cloak is basically the same as Harry Potter's.
Thinking this, Xiao Lei remained expressionless.
"Cousin Xiao Lei, then I'll go cultivate now," Xiao Yan said, handing the cloth bag containing gold coins to Xiao Lei before taking his leave.
Xiao Lei said, "Go ahead. If I'm not mistaken, Cousin Xiao Yan's cultivation regression problem has been resolved, and he's even made considerable progress, right? Congratulations!"
"Yes, I have to thank Cousin Xiao Lei for lending me the gold coins," Xiao Yan replied, surprised that Xiao Lei had noticed his words, but he still nodded in acknowledgment.
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "We are brothers of the same clan, and we should help each other. If you ever have the ability in the future and I need your help, I'm sure you'll help me, right?"
"If Cousin Xiao Lei can help me in any way, I certainly won't refuse," Xiao Yan said earnestly.
"So, don't be so polite," Xiao Lei smiled, then added, "If you need gold coins in the future, you can come to me anytime."
Although Xiao Lei had his own advantages and didn't need to deliberately curry favor with Xiao Yan, he was still happy to befriend him.
After all, this was the Flame Emperor, not some god-king. In the future,
when they arrived in the Great Thousand World, the two of them could fight side by side and conquer the Great Thousand World!
"Yes, I will," Xiao Yan nodded gently, feeling very grateful to Xiao Lei.
When he was a genius, countless people in the Xiao family fawned over him. But since his cultivation regressed, only Xiao Lei remained consistently friendly.
The lowest point in life truly tests a person's heart.
Therefore, in Xiao Yan's heart, Xiao Lei was already his best friend.
After watching Xiao Yan leave, Xiao Lei focused his attention on the system, carefully examining the description of the invisibility cloak.
Activated using soul power, it conceals the wearer's form, avoiding detection by sight, aura, or soul power.
The stronger the soul power and the longer the duration of use, the better the invisibility effect.
The only thing to note is that the cloak's movement during movement can easily reveal its weakness, potentially being detected by those with soul power exceeding the user's.
It seems slightly different from Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.
Xiao Lei thought to himself after reviewing the description of the invisibility cloak.

However, this function is already quite powerful.
Especially considering Xiao Lei's soul strength, which is already at the peak of the mortal realm, he is probably the strongest in the Jia Ma Empire besides Yao Lao.
Therefore, even while in motion, he doesn't need to worry about being discovered.
A very good treasure.
Xiao Lei smiled slightly, quite satisfied, but he wasn't in a hurry to test it.
He could test the invisibility cloak when he destroyed the Jia Lie family.
Thinking this, Xiao Lei closed the door, went to find some food, and then casually strolled around the clan, even giving some pointers to the younger generation of the Xiao family at the training ground.
Unfortunately, perhaps those younger generation members were just too unlucky, as they didn't even get a single reward.
Seeing that there was no benefit to be gained, Xiao Lei didn't linger and left the training ground directly. After thinking for a moment, he went to find Xiao Zhan.
"Xiao Lei, what's wrong? Is there something you need?" Xiao Zhan smiled when he saw Xiao Lei arrive.
Xiao Lei was not only the most outstanding genius of the Xiao family, but also had a close relationship with Xiao Yan, so Xiao Zhan was very friendly towards him.
"This is the high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique, Wind Scroll Technique, which I bought yesterday at the Mittel Auction House. I've finished studying it and come to present it to the clan leader."
Xiao Lei reached into his robes, took out a scroll from his system space, and handed it to Xiao Zhan.
Hearing Xiao Lei's words and seeing the scroll in his hand, Xiao Zhan was immediately excited.
"Good child, I thank you on behalf of the clan. You can make any requests you have, and the clan will do its best to fulfill them."
Xiao Zhan took the cultivation technique scroll, speaking solemnly.
[Ding! You touched Xiao Zhan, gaining one million gold coins!]
Little did Xiao Zhan know that the moment he received the scroll, Xiao Lei had already gained something, and its value was nearly double that of the scroll!
Xiao Lei temporarily ignored the system, carefully considering his words before saying, "Clan Chief, the cultivation method my master taught me is somewhat special. Understanding different techniques allows for cross-disciplinary learning, which can accelerate cultivation."
"Therefore, I would like to also try to understand the Clan Chief's Angry Lion's Fury Technique. Is that permissible?"
Xiao Zhan readily agreed, "Of course! Even if those three old guys knew about this, they would definitely support you."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhan directly took out an ancient scroll from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Lei.
"Thank you, Clan Chief," Xiao Lei said, taking the scroll and touching Xiao Zhan's hand again.
[Ding! You touched Xiao Zhan, obtaining one Qi-Boosting Pill! Note: After consumption, it can increase your Dou Qi cultivation to a certain extent!]
Two rewards were obtained, not bad!
And this Qi-Boosting Pill sounds quite good.
Hearing the familiar voice of the system in his mind, Xiao Lei felt a slight surge of joy.
"Take this back and study it. This is the only decent cultivation technique the Xiao family has left. Be careful when you study it, just don't break it."
Xiao Zhan said with a smile, seeing that Xiao Lei seemed to be in a good mood.
"Also, after you finish studying the Angry Lion's Fury, you can go to the Dou Qi Pavilion to study the family's other cultivation techniques."
"Thank you, Clan Chief. I'll head back now," Xiao Lei said goodbye to Xiao Zhan, then turned and headed towards his residence.
After returning home, Xiao Lei thought for a moment and put the scroll containing the Angry Lion's Fury into his system space, while also taking out the Qi-Boosting Pill he had won in the lottery.
"Let me see how much my cultivation will increase!"
Xiao Lei sat cross-legged on the bed, whispering expectantly, and then put the round pill, which emitted a strange fragrance, into his mouth...
