Chapter 132: The Middle Stage of Marrow Refining, the Three Channels of Purification

The second day of November.

After more than half a month of busyness, the Wei family compound suddenly became quiet.

Occasionally, you can hear the sounds of Xie Hang's sister, Hong Quan's son, Cheng Hui's younger brother and other children chasing and playing with the Eighth Primary School in the yard.

Except for the sentries who were arranged on rotation to keep watch inside and outside the courtyard gate and other necessary places, the rest of the gang members were practicing hard.

First, they received two consecutive months of monthly blood-replenishing pills, and then high-quality medicinal wine was distributed to everyone as a reward. Everyone's enthusiasm for cultivation was extremely high.

Three hundred kilograms of high-quality medicinal wine. After fully understanding Geng Xuan's intentions, Luo Qing, Wang Lu, and others set a standard, with the minimum amount allowed to be three or four kilograms. Qian Dong alone received fifteen kilograms.

Within this one day alone, the cultivation of several people was significantly improved.

Among them are Zhang Ming and Yu Ze, who are paralyzed in their lower limbs. Their cultivation has broken through from the flesh refining level to the blood refining realm.

Zhang Ming, excited, immediately came to Geng Xuan's house and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Boss... wuwu... I've also achieved a breakthrough. I'm finally no longer holding everyone back... Thank you, Boss. Thank you, Boss..."

Geng Xuan helped Zhang Ming, who was lying on the ground with tears on his face, up and said to Yu Ze, who looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"Zhang Ming just lost control of his emotions. You don't need to learn from him."

Zhang Ming had already tucked the pair of wooden sticks under his armpits again. Seeing this, Geng Xuan suddenly remembered something and said:
"Oh, I brought back some weapons yesterday, including a pair of iron rods of excellent quality, perfect for you.

It can be used as a means of transportation and is also a pair of excellent strange weapons.

I remember there was also a set of staff techniques that matched it, which complemented it even better. "

Geng Xuan, however, remembered the pair of iron rods he had seized from the ugly beggar with deformed legs. In terms of quality, they were among the best weapons he had seized.

Geng Xuan had found many cultivation techniques in the Dingxing Hall of Wuyou Palace in Kangleji, including a set of staff techniques that were almost tailor-made for cultivators with deformed lower limbs, such as the ugly beggar with a deformed leg and Zhang Ming.

If you master it, your combat power will not be much worse than that of a normal practitioner at the same level.

And because of the words "strange" and "weird", when fighting against normal practitioners who lack the corresponding experience, they can often catch the enemy by surprise and win by surprise.

After sending Zhang Ming and Yu Ze away, Geng Xuan returned to the house, picked up a martial arts manual that was turned upside down on the table and continued to read it.

Originally, due to the contribution of each gang member, as well as the spoils obtained from Zhong Yuanba's family, Anleji's caravan, Lu's guards, etc., the Giant Bear Gang had accumulated 67 sets of cultivation techniques.

There are two sets of marrow refining techniques alone.

——One copy was obtained from Wu Yue, and the other copy was obtained from Zang Zigao’s private collection.

In addition, after Geng Xuan returned from Changpingfang this time, except for a few more sensitive books that he kept privately, the rest were deposited into the public treasury.

Leaving aside the duplicate ones, the Giant Bear Gang has a collection of eighty-six different types of cultivation techniques.

Geng Xuan took the opportunity to conduct a comprehensive review, and finally selected four of them.

They are "Air-Splitting Palm", "Shadowless Kick", "Nine Heavy Strikes", and "Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm".

Among them, the Air-Splitting Palm and the Shadowless Kick were both developed by "unleashing potential" within the Giant Bear Gang.

If it comes to a head-on fight, in terms of power alone, the Air-Splitting Palm is no better than the Iron Sand Palm.

But in terms of palm techniques, the Air-Splitting Palm is undoubtedly far superior to the straightforward Iron Sand Palm.

This is also one of the reasons why Geng Xuan chose the Pikong Palm, using the exquisiteness of the Pikong Palm to make up for the bluntness of the Iron Sand Palm.

Another thing is that if the Air-Splitting Palm is practiced to a certain level, it can produce a very powerful palm wind.

Although it is difficult to achieve decisive results due to its limited power, if used properly, it is enough to cause considerable interference to the enemy when fighting.

The fierce palm wind may pass by the neck, the side of the face, or even the eyes.

I just want to ask you whether you are hiding or not, whether you are afraid or not.

This palm wind is naturally of no use to practitioners in the Marrow Refining Realm.

However, by utilizing the technique of the Air-Splitting Palm, the marrow-refining energy that is released can be made more powerful, more condensed, and dissipated more slowly, thereby increasing the attack range of the marrow-refining energy.

This is also an ability that Geng Xuan values very much.

The reason why Geng Xuan favors the "Shadowless Kick" is that it combines light body lifting, dodging, and leg attacks.

However, this all-encompassing nature also makes its performance in any one of these areas rather mediocre, and makes it more difficult to make progress.

But for Geng Xuan, this is not a problem.

The example of Songtao swordsmanship has shown that as long as the level of mastery is high enough, a performance that originally seemed "mediocre" can also shine.

However, what Geng Xuan values most is the "three-joint" feature of the "Shadowless Kick" technique.

If you master it at a high level, you will fully understand its purpose.

Geng Xuan believed that his dodging and evasion in a small area would be more agile and more deceptive.

The speed of rapid sweeps over medium and short distances will be even faster and more ghostly and erratic.

More importantly, the two martial arts of light leaping, moving and dodging, the Lizard Technique and the Continuous Steps, can also be used to find opportunities to output offensive leg techniques.

Your legs will be "liberated" to the greatest extent.

As for whether to leap forward, dodge, or attack others, it is all up to him.

The Nine Heavy Strikes were looted from Zhong Yuanba's home.

It just fits Geng Xuan's need to practice a technique for using heavy weapons.

Among the eighty-six martial arts techniques in stock, there are also other heavy weapon techniques, including two axe techniques and one hammer technique.

In comparison, the Nine Heavy Strike Styles are more comprehensive and the restrictions on heavy weapons are not so strict.

Whether it's a giant axe, a giant hammer or other heavy weapons, or even pulling out a big tree, or holding a huge rock as a weapon, you can use some of these skills.

Because of its broadness, its compatibility with a specific heavy weapon, such as a giant axe or giant hammer, is slightly worse than that with specialized axe or hammer techniques.

But this can be solved by improving the skill level, which is more suitable for Geng Xuan's needs.

The "Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm" is the martial art that Geng Xuan is studying at the moment, and it is a martial art specially designed for those who are at the marrow refining realm to practice.

Only in the hands of practitioners who have reached the marrow refining level can this palm technique truly shine.

Eliminating external interference, Geng Xuan was completely immersed in the study and understanding of this technique.

That evening, when Geng Xuan fully understood the essence of the idea, a message emerged in his mind.

[The host has grasped the essence of the Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm, and his body meets all the prerequisites for mastering this skill. Consuming three points of Red Luck will allow him to quickly get started.]

【whether?】

After Geng Xuan took three blood-tonifying pills, his thoughts became clear:

"Yes."

Soon, as the three points of luck were consumed, the "Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm" was successfully mastered.

The power of "Wanjun Jin" condenses between the palms and flows like water.

A great number of skills, insights, and experiences on how to use and mobilize these forces continuously flowed into Geng Xuan's mind.

When all the gains had settled in his heart, the abnormalities in his palms disappeared and everything returned to normal.

Geng Xuan slapped out with his palm and gently pressed it on the table in front of him.

Without any vibration or loud noise, the entire wooden table, from the table top to the four legs, turned into powder almost at the same time.

A wooden table was still standing there one moment, and the next it fell to the ground and turned into a pile of fine wood powder.

This astonishing change even stunned Geng Xuan himself.

He stared at his palms with wide eyes.

It looks no different from before he mastered the "Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm".

If there is any difference, it is just that there are more techniques for using the "Wanjun Jin" force.

After a while, Geng Xuan suddenly slapped the air in front of him.

There was no palm-shaped energy that looked formidable, no whistling wind, and it seemed no different from before he swung his palm.

But when Geng Xuan looked at the wall a few steps away.

But I saw powder falling down from the wall that seemed to be no different.

When all the powder fell off, a palm-shaped depression about one or two centimeters deep appeared on the wall.

Geng Xuan didn't try again.

Just these two small trials were enough for him to grasp the characteristics of this palm technique.

"How vicious." Geng Xuan thought to himself.

Geng Xuan mastered this sinister marrow refining skill in just one day.

……

The next day was November 3rd.

Geng Xuan mastered the other three skills in one day.

……

[The host has understood the essence of the "Splitting Palm" and his body meets all the prerequisites for mastering this skill. He can quickly get started by consuming two points of luck.]

【whether?】

……

[The host has grasped the essence of the concept of "Shadowless Kick" and has met all the prerequisites for mastering this skill. Consume two points of Red Luck to quickly get started.]

【whether?】

……

[The host has grasped the essence of the "Nine Heavy Strikes" and has met all the prerequisites for mastering this skill. Consume two points of Luck to quickly begin.]

【whether?】

……

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

After consuming six points of luck, all three skills were successfully mastered.

Afterwards, while ensuring the rapid improvement of his flesh refining level, Geng Xuan used one day to digest all the gains from the entry-level level of the four skills.

Then, after consuming a total of eighteen points of luck, all four skills advanced from the entry-level stage to the minor success stage.

——The Air-Splitting Palm, Shadowless Kick, and Nine Heavy Strike styles each consume four points of red luck, while the Yin Wind Bone-Transforming Palm consumes six points of red luck.

……

The fifth day of November.

After nine days of continuous high growth, the "stimulating effect" of the perfect level "Tidal Breathing Method" on the flesh refining level quickly diminished.

The level of flesh refining has also reached "95%".

This is the most outstanding and deepest level of tempering among all the achievements in body tempering so far.

But Geng Xuan was not very satisfied with this result.

“Even if I continue to work hard at the Flesh Refining level and invest more time and resources, I can only raise my Flesh Refining level a little bit at best.

There is absolutely no way I can raise my level of flesh refinement to 'perfect perfection'."

A perfect level of body-tempering technique does not mean that the practitioner's body-tempering achievements in the corresponding field can be pushed to "perfect perfection".

The perfection of this technique only means that Geng Xuan's mastery of this technique has reached the upper limit of his intention.

For example, some techniques with a lower purpose and shallower level only reach the Grandmaster or even Master level.

In addition to the rapid progress in the physical training level during these days of training.

The Grandmaster Realm's "Cai Nu Xuan Shui Gong" also raised the blood refining level by 0.5%, from "70%" to "75%";
The "bone shrinking method" of the master level has also increased the bone refining level by 0.30%, from "60%" to "63%.

The remaining power of the master's bone-shrinking technique has almost been exhausted.

In addition, the master level's "Wanjun Jin" also increased the marrow refining level by 0.5%, from "48%" to "53%.

[Refining Skin 82%, Refining Flesh 95%, Refining Blood 75%, Refining Bone 63%, Refining Marrow 53%]

Geng Xuan put all his strength into his left palm and slapped it towards the ground in front of him.

There was a long muffled sound, and a dark palm print appeared on the ground, the depth of which was unknown.

If you look closely, you will find that this long, muffled sound is actually a combination of sixteen consecutive muffled sounds at closely spaced intervals.

It looked like he was throwing a punch, but in fact, it contained sixteen folds of strength.

One stack higher than the other, one wave tighter than the other, this is the result of the continuous action on this palm.

"Even if I am in the middle stage of the Marrow Refining Realm now, I am definitely a senior strong man." Geng Xuan thought to himself.

After careful consideration, Geng Xuan chose to consume forty-eight points of luck to upgrade his "bone shrinking method" from the master level to the grandmaster level.

At the same time, Geng Xuan also made a decision that in the next period of time, he would shift the focus of his cultivation to bone refining.

……

Three days later.

November 8th.

Wei Family Compound.

Geng Xuan's figure moved around the room like a ghost. At a certain moment, Geng Xuan, who was moving rapidly, suddenly kicked out like a whip, and the whip was like a spirit snake, lashing towards the void in front of him.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp cracking sound in the void.

A whip shadow flew out from the tip of the foot, passed through the window, and sank into a big tree in the yard more than twenty steps away.

The tree didn't move at all, but a deep whip-shaped mark appeared out of nowhere on the trunk.

His legs kicked out like a whip, and Geng Xuan, who seemed to have used up all his remaining strength, suddenly flipped over.

The other foot suddenly drew a big circle in the air, like a powerful axe, chopping down fiercely towards the front.

Immediately following the whip-shaped virtual mark, an axe-shaped energy swept out through the window.

"Click——"

With a loud bang, the thick trunk of the big tree more than 20 steps away suddenly split in two.

Fallen leaves and broken branches fell like rain and snow.

However, because only the trunk part was split in two, the stump and roots connected to the underground root system below and the crown connected to the trunk above were all safe and sound. This meant that although the tree suffered a huge blow like being "dismembered", it did not fall down.

After waving his hand to let the two gang members who heard the noise and came to check leave, Geng Xuan continued his attempt.

However, in light of the lesson learned this time, Geng Xuan was more careful during the experiment to prevent his attacks from hitting the target.

Today, he first consumed thirty-six points of luck to upgrade the Air-Splitting Palm, Shadowless Kick, Nine Heavy Strike Styles, and Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm from the small success stage to the great success stage.

——The Air-Splitting Palm, Shadowless Kick, and Nine Heavy Strike styles each consume eight points of luck, while the Yin Wind Bone-Transforming Palm consumes twelve points of luck.

Afterwards, Geng Xuan consumed another sixteen points of luck to upgrade the Spirit Snake Whip Technique from great success to master level.

After putting all his gains into his mind, Geng Xuan, who was experimenting with various results, suddenly had an inspiration and integrated the methods of light body lifting and leaping, dodging and evading, attacking leg techniques and spirit snake whip techniques, as well as some insights from the nine heavy strikes and the Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm.

The eight skills related to pharmaceutical manufacturing are "Blood Replenishing Pills", "Medicinal Wine Brewing", "Xuanyou Pills", "Hemostatic Powder", "Detoxification Pills", "Anti-Insect Powder", "Essence Pills", and "Tranquilizing Pills".

After undergoing large-scale drug production, they all reached the master level.

……

Geng Xuan, who was about to continue his training, was suddenly awakened by the sound of horse hooves coming closer and closer outside the Wei family compound, and the rumbling sound of wheels rolling over the ground.

Geng Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he walked into the yard and looked outside the Wei family's gate.

Without any greetings, the members of the Giant Bear Gang who were originally practicing in various places of the Wei family also appeared around.

Outside the Wei family's gate, all the galloping horses suddenly stopped, and the carriages that were originally speeding stopped steadily outside the Wei family compound.

Soon, Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and others appeared in the Wei family compound again.

After entering the courtyard, Wei Wanzong and others greeted Geng Xuan with a smile.

After the greeting, Wei Wanzong couldn't help but say with envy: "Boss Su, you have such a leisurely life these days."

Geng Xuan nodded, looked at the huge carriages loaded with heavy objects parked outside the Wei family's gate, and asked:

"Have you sold all the drugs you transported last time?"

Wei Wanzong nodded and said, "Sold out."

Geng Xuan was surprised and said, "How efficient! This is many days ahead of your original plan, right?" Last time, Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and others transported drugs such as hemostatic powder, anthelmintic powder, and detoxification pills, which had a low unit price but huge quantities.

According to their plan at the time, in order to dispose of these drugs as "quietly" as possible and not cause any waves, they would disperse them to as many markets as possible, slow down the speed of shipment, and would return at the earliest between the middle and late part of this month.

All the medicines have been sold out now, twice as early as the deadline!
After hearing this, Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and others did not show any joy on their faces, but instead looked more solemn.

Geng Xuan was stunned when he saw this, and then asked, "But what happened?"

Wei Wanzong and the others exchanged glances, and Fan Hongsheng asked, "Boss Su, haven't you been paying attention to any news outside lately?"

Geng Xuan nodded and stared at them with burning eyes.

Fan Hongsheng said:

"Boss Su, our convoy didn't go through all the dozens of markets around Chiwu Mountain as originally planned. We only got as far as Santong Market and returned early because the road was blocked."

"The road is closed?" Geng Xuan was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly, "Who closed it?"

"The Santong Group and the Qingyuan Group jointly sealed it." Fan Hongsheng said.

"Santongji and Qingyuanji join forces?"

Geng Xuan was even more surprised after hearing this.

Fan Hongsheng nodded helplessly and said:

“Not only did the Santong Collection unite with the Qingyuan Collection, but the two collections’ headmasters also married.

They joined together to block the road, saying that they were planning a wedding, and to prevent it from being disrupted by thugs, they temporarily closed the road.

We will reopen the road after their weddings are over."

"The Grand Masters of Santong and Qingyuan are marrying each other? ... If I remember correctly, the Grand Master of Santong is married with his wife and children, right? How did they marry?"

"This matter is complicated..." Fan Hongsheng sighed and told everything he knew.

As Fan Hongsheng was talking, a rough picture of the market around Chiwu Mountain appeared in Geng Xuan's mind.

Chiwu Mountain, which runs generally from north to south, is located on the west side of Yuanzhou.

The so-called "Seventeen Markets around Chiwu Mountain" in Kangle Market actually refers to the seventeen markets that are relatively concentrated in the southern section of Chiwu Mountain facing the eastern foot of Yuanjing.

If you look at the map of Yuanzhou, these seventeen markets are located in the southwest of Yuanzhou.

If the map is focused on the seventeen markets on the eastern foot of the southern section of Chiwu Mountain, a branch of the Chiwu Mountain that runs more than 300 miles from east to west divides the seventeen markets into three parts.

Among them, four markets including Kangle Market are located on the south side, which is relatively speaking the most remote.

It can be called the "Four Southern Collections".

Eight families including Anleji and Baiyuanji are distributed on the north side. Firstly, because there are more people gathered in this area, and secondly, it is closer to Yuanjing, so its prosperity naturally exceeds that of the four southern families including Kangleji.

It is precisely this prosperity that gave birth to a cancer like Anleji.

They can be collectively referred to as the "Northern Eight Collections".

The other five markets are generally located on the east side of the Chiwu Mountain range. In terms of the distribution of the seventeen markets, they are between the North Eight Markets and the South Four Markets, and can be called the "Eastern Five Markets".

The Santong Market and Qingyuan Market mentioned by Fan Hongsheng and others are two markets among the "Eastern Five Markets".

The two episodes are adjacent, more than a hundred miles apart.

Qingyuanji is less than two hundred miles away from Baiyuanji in the "Northern Eight Collections".

“Although Qingyuanji is usually considered one of the five eastern jis, it was originally located on the north side of the Chiwu Mountain range, not far from Baiyuanji.

For a long time, the intersection between Qingyuan Collection and Baiyuan Collection has been the closest."

"On the eighth day of last month, the Grand Master of Baiyuanji and several other members of the group evacuated Baiyuanji before the Anleji troops arrived.

The direction they chose to retreat was Qingyuanji.

Because the retreat was too hasty, they even had to rest and replenish supplies for a relatively long time in Qingyuanji.

The second group of masters who evacuated from Baiyuanji even met Master Feng and others who arrived earlier at Qingyuanji.

At that time, because of the close relationship between the two sides in the past, the master of Qingyuanji was personally coming out to receive the master Feng and his party.

The two sides met again at Qingyuanji. Although it was a bit awkward, neither of them mentioned the matter of Baiyuanji.

Instead, he made up a lie and said there was an important operation that required their cooperation.

It was not until half a day after they had rested and replenished their supplies and left Qingyuanji with the farewell of the grand master of Qingyuanji that the news of the great changes in Baiyuanji spread to Qingyuanji.

At that time, a large number of people from Anleji had already moved into Baiyuanji.

While Anleji was swallowing up everything from Baiyuanji, it was also paying attention to the movements of Master Feng and his group.

After knowing that they had stopped at Qingyuanji for supplies and had received courtesy from the Grand Master of Qingyuanji, Wu Youxin personally led a group of Xuanyou cavalry to Qingyuanji to knock on the door and question them.

He questioned the headmaster of Qingyuanji face to face, asking why he was so courteous to Feng Yu and others who had fled for fear of crime, and what role he played in the convoy murder incident outside Baiyuanji.

In the end, the matter was handled by the master of Qingyuan Collection.

Wu Youxin did not do anything excessive and retreated to Baiyuanji with the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

But Anleji, or more precisely, the Wu family headed by Wu Yi, did to Baiyuanji, which still scared the head of Qingyuanji.

He considered it a great shame and humiliation that Wu Youxin, a junior, dared to scold him like that.

What he was more worried about was that after the Wu family annexed Baiyuanji, they would use the fact that he had helped Feng Yu and others escape as an excuse to take advantage of the situation and attack Qingyuanji again.

"It was under such circumstances that the headmaster of Santongji sent someone to propose marriage to the widowed eldest daughter of the headmaster of Qingyuanji."

Having said that, Fan Hongsheng specially added a paragraph.

“The master of Qingyuan Collection has a daughter and a son.

The son is not very old, said to be just over ten years old.

The eldest daughter is nearly thirty years old and has been a widow for many years. She is said to have an arrogant and violent temper.

She discovered that her husband had secretly taken a concubine and had a son. She immediately led the Qingyuanji guards to the house and killed not only the concubine and the child, but also her husband with a single sword strike.

Because of this, although the headmaster of Qingyuanji has always wanted to find another husband for her, no one has dared to take her over the years."

As Fan Hongsheng told the story, Geng Xuan gradually understood the situation of the master of Qingyuan Collection.

I also have a deep understanding of why he chose to form an alliance with Santong Ji by marrying his daughter to seek self-protection under the powerful pressure of Anle Ji and Baiyuan Ji.

but--

"But the headmaster of Santongji also has a wife and children."

Geng Xuan really had no idea about the family affairs of other great masters.

But he just knew that the owner of Santongji had a wife and children. Besides the fact that Santongji was closer to Kangleji, there were too many rumors about the "loving couple" and "harmonious family" of the owner of Santongji. In the "collection of stories" he had heard from Mr. Chai, there were two related to this.

"You said this..."

A speechless look flashed across Fan Hongsheng's face, and he said:
"On the fifteenth day of last month, the owner of Santongji had dinner with his wife and two children at a restaurant in Santongji.

It was said that a good-looking man was walking by at the time, and the wife of the owner of Santongji took a few extra glances at him from the window. He became jealous and said that she had seen her old lover...

Anyway, he said a lot of unpleasant things. It is said that the wife of the owner of Santongji left crying and covering her face.

A few days later, a young man who was said to be his brother-in-law came to Santong Hall.

The next day, the young man took a divorce letter written by the owner of Santongji and left Santongji with his crying wife and two children.

Then, about ten days later, on the first day of this month, the Grand Master of Santongji arranged for someone to go to the Grand Master of Qingyuanji's home and ask for his daughter, who had been widowed for many years and no one dared to mess with her.

"..."

Geng Xuan knew why Fan Hongsheng was speechless.

Because after hearing this story, he also felt extremely speechless.

When the owner of Santongguan and his family were having dinner in the restaurant, did his wife really take a few more glances at the handsome guy?

Was the young man who came to the door right after that really his brother-in-law?
Is the divorce letter written by the headmaster of Santongguan real?

Who endorses its effectiveness?

A "model family" with a son and a daughter, whose loving story was known to everyone in Kang Le Ji, broke up just because of such a ridiculous reason?
Don’t even want your son or daughter?
I think any normal person would feel extremely speechless after hearing this story.

However, it is obvious that the master of Qingyuanji, who has no problems with his IQ, fully agrees with this story.

He immediately agreed to marry his daughter, whom no one else dared to marry.

Both sides seemed to be getting impatient.

I wish I could skip all the intermediate processes and just hold hands together.

In this story, what Geng Xuan admired most was the timing of the master of Santongji in making the decision.

On the fifteenth of last month, the master of Santongji had a dinner with his "ex-wife", which was also the time when the bloody story began. It was only six days since Anleji officially moved into Baiyuanji.

Only four days had passed since Wu Youxin set foot on Qingyuanji.

In such a short time, he decided everything and began to implement it bravely and shamelessly.

"Before you returned, what was the situation with Qingyuanji and Santongji?"

"The guards of the two groups have merged into one. The Grand Master of the Santong Group has moved into the Qingyuan Group, facing the pressure from the Baiyuan Group.

The chief curator of Qingyuanji and his youngest son, who was just over ten years old, both arrived at Santongji.

...This should be the condition they agreed upon. The older and more experienced master of Qingyuan Market will be responsible for sorting out and integrating the internal order of the two markets.

The Grand Master of Santongji, who was in his prime, took the initiative to enter Qingyuanji, which was closest to the Wu family's edge, the most pressured, and the most dangerous. "

Geng Xuan heard this and nodded slightly.

Although this model is not as good as the two episodes where the Wu family alone controls Anle and Baiyuan, it is still very reasonable.

As long as both parties can cooperate sincerely under the pressure from the Wu family, they can even achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

"What is the Wu family's attitude towards this matter?"

Fan Hongsheng shook his head and said, "We don't know about that... Santongji has blocked the road to Qingyuanji, so naturally, any news coming from there has also been blocked."

Then, he paused and said:

“However, from what we have felt, the Grand Master of Qingyuanji is fully prepared for a bloody battle with the Wu family.

The reason why our medicine sold out so quickly was also related to this incident.

The Qingyuanji Hall, which was in charge of the rear, took the initiative to use the savings of two episodes to purchase a large amount of various medicines and cultivation resources.

This has made the already priced-up drugs even more expensive and hard to come by, and once they appear on the market, they are quickly sold out.”

Geng Xuan nodded, completely understanding.

He looked at Fan Hongsheng, Wei Wanzong and others and said:
"So, you guys made a lot of money this time?"

Fan Hongsheng and the others did not respond. Wei Wanzong chuckled twice and asked:
"Boss Su, your medicinal wine should be ready to be served soon, right?"

Geng Xuan smiled and did not ask further questions. Instead, he said:
"The medicinal liquor buried in the underground vats from the 13th to the 16th of last month is almost done. However, the ones buried in the underground vats from the 25th to the 30th of last month are still a little short of maturity."

Most of the medicinal liquors are not actually brewed until after October 25th.

Therefore, Geng Xuan was not in a hurry to take out the jars of medicinal wine from mid-last month, but wanted to wait until the time was right before taking out all the medicinal wine together.

"Can we start taking the vat out now? ... As far as I know, as long as the fermentation time is about ten days, it should be almost done, right?" Wei Wanzong said.

Geng Xuan was startled and said slowly:
“It’s almost the same, just a little bit off.

It's certainly possible to remove the wine from the vat now, but the quality of the wine will definitely be affected."

Wei Wanzong said:

"No problem, since this is what we requested, even if the quality of the medicinal wine is compromised, we will bear the full responsibility.

Moreover, after the vat is opened, it will take a lot of manpower and charcoal to steam the medicinal wine, but you don’t need to worry about these, we will take care of them all.”

Geng Xuan stared at him, then looked at Fan Hongsheng, Mr. Chai who was silent but also supportive, and the other neighborhood leaders, and said:

"Is it really that urgent? Can't you wait a few more days?"

These medicinal wines were all prepared and brewed under his personal guidance, without any consideration of profit. Based on the most simple emotions, he hoped that these medicinal wines could be produced in the best condition.

Instead of the current state where it is more than 90% cooked, but still a little short of 100%.

He would feel very sorry to take out the wine at this time.

Wei Wanzong said in a deep voice:

"We also want to wait, but we no longer dare to wait."

Fan Hongsheng nodded in agreement and said softly:
"The Santong Group is already sharpening their knives, ready to engage in a fierce battle with the Anle Group and the Baiyuan Group at any moment.

However, the marriage between Santongji and Qingyuanji affected more than just the two families.

We believe that the disturbance this incident will cause to other markets will be no less than the disturbance caused by Anle Market swallowing up Baiyuan Market.

If we don't quickly dispose of all these medicinal liquors before new changes come, we may never have another chance.

…Although the wine quality was somewhat affected by starting the vats a few days earlier, we are not worried that the wine will be unsalable due to the changes in Santongji and Qingyuanji.”

Geng Xuan nodded. If his guess was correct, this batch of medicinal wine would not only not be unsalable, but the price would most likely increase.

Wei Wanzong and others will earn more money than originally planned.

However, Geng Xuan would not be jealous, nor would he ask for a renegotiation of the purchase price of the medicinal wine.

His hesitation was never because of price, but rather his instinctive pursuit of high quality as a pharmaceutical manufacturer.

Now, he could only overcome this mentality and nodded: "Okay."

He thought for a while and said:

"Let's start from tomorrow. We'll make the wine in two days. Let's make the medicinal wine tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, we will take out the medicinal wine that has been buried in the jar for the last two days, so that we can give them as much time as possible."

Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and the others looked at each other, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, we will follow your arrangements, and we will arrange the personnel now."

After saying that, Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng, Chai Ye and others left in a hurry.

They left, but the carriages parked outside the gate did not leave.

Soon, the Wei family compound, which had been quiet for seven or eight days, became lively again.

Cart after cart of charcoal was brought in, along with various utensils for steaming wine.

The next day was the ninth day of the eleventh month.

Early in the morning, Wei Wanzong and others led seventy or eighty familiar faces from Bajiafang to the Wei family compound.

Not long ago, they worked with Geng Xuan to put the prepared medicinal wine into earthen jars.

Today, they have to cooperate with Geng Xuan to take out the medicinal wine from the vat, which has been fermented for more than 20 days at the longest and more than 10 days at the latest.

They could complete this step smoothly even without Geng Xuan's guidance.

But it was not until Geng Xuan appeared in front of everyone and said "Let's start" that everyone started to act.

Soon, flames began to burn in the Wei family compound.

On the 13th of last month, the seals of several earthen jars that were first buried underground were opened, and the rich aroma of fermented wine instantly filled the air.

Everyone worked together to scoop out the turbid wine from the vat bucket by bucket and placed it into a special steamer.

Before long, amber-colored wine with a strong medicinal aroma began to flow into a wine jar through a long copper tube.

Wei Wanzong and others had been waiting nearby. When they saw the wine flowing out of the copper tube, they immediately scooped some of it into bowls.

Everyone passed it around and looked at it, some leaned in to smell the aroma, some took a little with a spoon and put it on the tip of their tongue to taste its quality, and everyone was amazed.

"Boss Su, the quality of your medicinal wine is better than we expected."

Geng Xuan thought to himself, isn't this nonsense?

I just want to brew like everyone else, but my ability doesn’t allow it!
"So, the medicinal wine brewed in the last few days, even if it was a few days earlier and the quality was slightly affected, would not be worse than those on the market?" Wei Wanzong said excitedly.

Geng Xuan did not answer this question at all, but just nodded casually.

Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and others were immediately overjoyed.

However, Geng Xuan was not happy about this.

I just snorted in my heart, you don’t understand at all!

Regardless of whether people understood it or not, the next day, in the evening, when the last bucket of turbid wine in the last earthen jar turned into dark brown medicinal wine and was poured into the wine jar, everything was over.

Luo Qing, who was in charge of recording, came to Geng Xuan's side and whispered, "Boss, we've recovered a total of 15,420 kilograms of high-quality medicinal liquor and 26,170 kilograms of ordinary medicinal liquor."

Geng Xuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Give them 15,000 kilograms for high-quality ones and 25,000 kilograms for ordinary ones."

"Yes."

Soon, Wei Wanzong and others loaded the corresponding amount of medicinal wine onto a truck and transported it away.

There were still 420 kilograms of high-quality medicinal wine and 1,170 kilograms of ordinary medicinal wine left in the Wei family compound.

And 972,500 taels of silver.
