Chapter 137: Upgrade of the Family Clan’s Formation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Romo could sense that Xi Bolai did not make any further moves, so he ignored him and continued to look at the System rewards.
From the literal meaning of the Family Clan Formation Upgrade Talisman, it was capable of improving the family clan’s formation. Its effects were also very good.
Romo had always thought that the increase in the family clan’s formation could only be upgraded through the Faith Points. He had not expected there to be such a good thing as the Family Clan Formation Upgrade Talisman.
The value of this tool was self-evident. It was worth 100,000 Faith Points.

(Family Clan Protective Formation has been upgraded to Level 3. Base value has been increased. Tenfold Cultivation Halo has been upgraded to a Twenty-fold Cultivation Halo. Reflected Attack effect has been increased. Realm Breakthrough Halo effect has been strengthened]
{Realm Breakthrough Halo: Within the range of the family clan’s formation, the probability of a family member breaking through a realm is 30%]
‘With the System notification, Romo was pleasantly surprised by the rewards he had received this time. He had not expected the rewards to be so useful.
This Realm Breakthrough Halo could increase the probability of a breakthrough to 30%. Even many precious Magic Pills could only barely reach 20%.
Moreover, this halo could be stacked with other tools, so the effect was naturally even better.
If the Realm Breakthrough Halo was coupled with the Realm Breakthrough Blessing Talisman, the descendant’s probability of breaking through a realm could be increased to 80%.
At this moment, as Romo continued to use the tools, Xi Bolai, who had been closing his eyes, opened them again. He muttered in disbelief, “The formation has been enhanced?”
Moreover, the strengthening of the formation this time had not been small. Xi Bolai, who had almost fallen asleep, immediately sensed it. This was enough to show how much the formation had increased.
However, what surprised Xi Bolai was not the strengthening of the formation, but that he could not sense who had done it.
Who? Could it be that the Nicholas family clan has another powerful person?
Xi Bolai thought to himself, but felt that it could not be. If there really was a powerful person, it was impossible that he had not sensed him yet.
Xi Bolai closed his eyes again and calmed himself down to sense carefully. However, he still did not sense that someone was controlling the formation.
“So, is someone controlling it remotely?” Xi Bolai wondered again. However, because he did not know much about formations, he could not figure out anything at all.
However, what made Xi Bolai certain was that the Nicholas family clan was much more mysterious than he had imagined. It must still have many secrets.
After pondering for a long while, Xi Bolai had no choice but to give up. He closed his eyes again and got ready to rest.
In the ancestral hall of the Nicholas family, after a series of upgrades, Romo was pleasantly surprised to find the Surprise Treasure Chests given by the System.
The previous Surprise Treasure Chest had been bought by Romo from the System Shop at a discount, but this time, it was actually a gift from the System. This Surprise Treasure Chest had brought Romo a huge surprise in this mission. Romo was already beginning to look forward to what surprise it would
bring him this time.

[Received top-grade Spirit Sword Embryo]
“Top-grade Spirit Sword.” Romo’s eyes lit up when he heard the name. This was a rare item. Although it was not a complete sword and was only a sword embryo, it was much better than the sword Ron had.
Ifhe could find a suitable hilt and merge it with the sword embryo, its power would be unrivaled. It was a treasure that could not even be found in the entire Longevity Realm.
With it, the Nicholas family clan might be able to nurture a Sword Immortal very quickly. Thinking of a Sword Immortal, Romo suddenly thought of something and smiled.
He looked toward a room in the Nicholas family clan. A little girl with dark skin was lying on the bed. From time to time, she would kick the blanket away and quickly pull it back because of the cold.
Beside the pillow was a small wooden sword. The workmanship seemed a little crude. It could be seen that this wooden sword was very important to the little girl, so much so that she would touch it from time to time in her sleep.
Romo had placed a lot of hope in Lily. It was not only because of her aptitude, but also because of Lily’s courage back then. Romo believed that with Lily’s hard work and his help to her, she would definitely become a Sword Immortal.
“Father, do you think our ancestors were really very powerful Sword Immortals?”
“Of course. Your grandfather told me this when I was young. He also told me many stories about our ancestors.”
“Since our Old Ancestor is a great Sword Immortal, I’ll become one in the future. This way, no one will bully you and Mom.”
“Of course. Lily will definitely become a very powerful and great Sword Immortal in the future. Daddy and Mommy will be waiting for you.”
“But I don’t even have a sword now.”
“That’s easy. I’ll make you one right away. Use this for practice first. When you’re strong, Father will give you a better sword.”
“Really?”
“Tm going to the mountains tomorrow to cut wood and make you a sword.”
“Great, I’ll have a sword soon.”
“Mommy, look, this is the little wooden sword Daddy made for me. With it, I can become a great Sword Immortal.”
“Tt really looks beautiful.”
“Of course, Daddy used the best wood to make this.”
“Lily, don’t run around, Where are you going?”
“Tl go and show Grandpa my sword. I also want to hear him tell me stories about our ancestors.”
“Mom, what are we eating today?”
“You little glutton. Dinner will be ready soon. I’ve made your favorite dishes.”
“Really? Mommy, tell me a story.”
“Mom, are we really leaving here?”
“It’s too dangerous here. Let’s go find a safer place. Don’t be afraid. Grandpa, Grandma, Daddy, Mommy, and Lily will always be together.”
“Alright, I’l help you pack up the things. Even if there are bad guys along the way, I can protect you.”
“Lily, leave quickly. Go with Grandpa. Don’t worry about us.”
In the forest, a man and a woman had grabbed the bandit’s leg hard to prevent him from moving, and they were shouting at their daughter desperately.
“Daddy, Mommy!” The moment the knife fell, the little girl’s tragic cries could be heard.
Lily dreamed of her mom and dad again that night. The pillow was almost fully soaked with tears when a phantom appeared in the dark, stroking Lily’s head.
Lily had felt it in her dream and seen the amiable old man. “Don’t be afraid, Lily. No one will bully you again when you enter the Nicholas family.”
Hence, Lily’s tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed, and she no longer had tears streaming down her face. After turning around, she picked up the little wooden sword and said in her sleep, “I must become a great Sword Immortal. This way, no one can bully me anymore.”
