The First Venerable of All Paths

"Oh, what a rare guest!"

Tianbaolou.

Upon seeing Fang Xuan, Lan Meier couldn't help but tease him, "I never expected that the renowned Young Master Fang of Qingyang County would have time to come to my humble Tianbao Tower."

The news of the Blood Fiend Gang, the Hundred Beasts Gang, and the Su family besieging the Fang family had already spread like wildfire.

Everyone in Qingyang County knew that the Fang family had not only obtained a secret realm, but also gained a demon emperor as a protector.

Fang Xuan, the young master of the Fang family, turned the tide when the family was in dire straits.

They forced Su Chongming to retreat and crippled the Blood Fiend Gang.

Even the newly risen Beasts Gang was completely destroyed.

"Don't make fun of me, Manager Lan."

Fang Xuan smiled bitterly, "Others may not know, but do you not know that my Fang family is currently in a difficult situation?"

"Hehe, tell me, what brings you here to see me, sister?"

Lan Meier changed the subject, saying, "Did you get something good in the secret realm and want to trade with you, sister?"

"Manager Lan has a keen eye."

Fang Xuan took out a storage bag and threw it in front of Lan Meier.

"Blue tube should check beforehand to see how valuable these things are."

Upon seeing this, Lan Meier picked up the storage bag and, after a brief inspection, a look of shock immediately appeared on her pretty face.

"So many good things?"

Lan Meier looked at Fang Xuan and said, "Did you obtain all of this from the secret realm?"

"Otherwise what?"

Fang Xuan said, "How about it? These things are pretty good, aren't they?"

"It's definitely a good product."

Lan Meier asked, "What are you planning to exchange for? Spirit stones? Or pills?"

"Forget about the spirit stones."

Fang Xuan took out a prescription and said, "Give me one copy of everything on this prescription, and exchange the rest for spirit stones."

Compared to spirit stones, elemental stones are not very valuable.

Moreover, the Fang family's current assets are not lacking in spirit stones.

"Can."

Lan Meier glanced at the prescription Fang Xuan had taken out and said, "However, you need quite a lot of pills. The store doesn't have that many in stock, so I'll have to get them from elsewhere."

"How long will it take?"

Fang Xuan said, "I need it urgently."

The Fang family had just gone through a major battle, and most of them were still injured.

In particular, several elders were seriously injured, and if they are not treated quickly, they may suffer long-term health problems.

"As fast as three days!"

Lan Meier said, "Because some of these pills are of very high grade, they require a lot of time to prepare."

"Can."

Fang Xuan nodded in agreement and said, "I don't know if Steward Lan accepts the remains of experts at the Divine Intent Realm."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Meier was so shocked that she stood up, her voice trembling slightly: "You have the remains of a Divine Intent Realm expert?"

Fang Xuan didn't speak, but simply waved his hand, and a corpse fell to the ground.

It was the skeleton nailed to the reef by the broken sword at the bottom of the secret lake.

After helping the giant python demon king escape, Fang Xuan naturally took the skeleton out without any hesitation.

Even the storage bag he just gave to Lan Meier contained all the accumulated wealth of powerful individuals killed by the Giant Python Demon Emperor.

Fang Xuan selected a portion of it and reserved it for his clansmen.

The rest was used to exchange for the various resources needed.

"These are truly the remains of a powerful being at the Divine Realm level!"

Lan Meier stared at the skeleton before her, her face filled with deep shock.

There was a faint, auspicious aura emanating from this skeleton.

"However, the owner of this skeleton perished too long ago, and little of his divine will remains."

Lan Meier said with some regret, "Although it's not bad, its value is greatly reduced."

"Of course I know that."

Fang Xuan said, "So I have no other requests, I just want to exchange this skeleton for some information."

"Oh?"

Lan Meier said, "I don't know, what kind of information do you want? As long as it doesn't involve any secrets, I can tell you."

"News about the strange fire of heaven and earth."

Fang Xuan looked at Lan Meier and said, word by word, "As long as Steward Lan tells me about this, this skeleton is yours."

"A strange fire from heaven and earth?"

Lan Meier was taken aback for a moment, then said, "You really are an alchemist."

"Without a rare and extraordinary fire from heaven and earth, or the ability to refine pill fire, one cannot be considered a true alchemist."

Fang Xuan asked, "I wonder if Steward Lan has any information on this?"

"this......"

Upon hearing this, Lan Meier hesitated.

"As expected, Steward Lan knows the whereabouts of the Heavenly Flame."

Seeing this, Fang Xuan smiled slightly.

"I do know a clue about a type of subterranean fire."

Lan Meier smiled wryly, "However, I originally intended to save this kind of earth fire for Master Ming."

"Master Ming?"

Fang Xuan frowned.

"good."

Lan Meier said, "To advance to the fourth rank, an alchemist either needs to refine a pill fire or subdue and refine a kind of heaven and earth flame. Master Ming has been stuck at the third rank for many years."

Lan Meier said, "Therefore, I cannot make the decision myself. You will have to discuss it with Master Ming and see if he is willing to give you this earth fire."

"Then please have Steward Lan take me to see Master Ming."

Fang Xuan said, "I think I can persuade Master Ming to give me the Earth Fire."

"You're quite confident."

Lan Meier smiled and said, "I'll have someone invite Master Ming over right away, and you can chat amongst yourselves."

After Master Ming arrived, Lan Meier tactfully left.

Half an hour later, the door opened.

"I knew long ago that young friend Fang was destined for greatness and would surely soar to great heights one day."

Master Ming, beaming with joy, said, "Then I wish young friend Fang all the best in acquiring that earth fire."

"Thank you very much, Elder Ming, for your generosity. I am deeply grateful."

Fang Xuan bowed deeply and watched Master Ming leave.

"It seems I really underestimated you; you actually managed to persuade Master Ming."

Lan Meier said, "Since he agreed to give you the Earth Fire, he must have explained it to you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I never expected that Manager Lan would be so good at business, getting a Divine Realm skeleton for nothing."

Lan Meier's eyes sparkled as she said with a grin, "Don't pretend you're innocent after getting the benefit. I only recently found out that there's actually a kind of subterranean fire hidden beneath the Hundred Beasts Gang's lair."

"But are you really planning to subdue that earth fire?"

Lan Meier said, "Master Ming and I originally planned to make a deal with the Hundred Beasts Guild, but it might be difficult for you."

"It's alright."

Fang Xuan said dismissively, "This is a perfect opportunity to wipe out the Hundred Beasts Gang, killing two birds with one stone."

"Fang Xuan, I must remind you that the news that there is subterranean fire beneath the Hundred Beasts Gang's lair has already been reported to the Beast Taming Hall. If you do this, you might offend the Beast Taming Hall."

Lan Meier said, "The Beast Taming Hall is a formidable force even in the entire Qingzhou. It's not a wise thing to provoke them."

"They provoked me first."

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light: "If the Beast Taming Hall doesn't interfere, fine. But if they dare to stand up for the Hundred Beasts Gang, I won't mind turning them into a second Hundred Beasts Gang!"

"Alright, you can decide for yourself."

Lan Meier said, "I've already had someone arrange what you wanted. As for the rest, I'll have someone deliver them to the Fang family in three days."

"Then I'll have to trouble Steward Lan."

With things mostly settled, Fang Xuan rose to take his leave and departed from Tianbao Tower.

"Miss!"

After Fang Xuan left, Master Ming came over.

He handed a prescription to Lan Meier.

"A fourth-grade elixir formula?"

Upon seeing this, Lan Meier's beautiful eyes narrowed in surprise. "Could this little guy have received the inheritance of a grandmaster alchemist?"

Even for Tianbao Tower, a fourth-grade pill formula is a rare and highly sought-after item.

With this, one can continuously refine fourth-grade pills and obtain huge profits.

"That's most likely the case."

Master Ming said, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to produce such precious prescriptions one after another, including this fourth-grade pill prescription."

"What a lucky guy."

Lan Meier curled her red lips and said, "Keep this pill formula safe. I will have people continue to gather information about the strange fire to help you advance to the fourth rank."

"Thank you, Miss!"

Master Ming cupped his hands in greeting and asked, "Should we bring Fang Xuan into the building?"

"Not for now."

Lan Meier shook her head and said, "Fang Xuan seems to have already shown his talent, but in reality, his situation is precarious. If he can get through this, it won't be too late to bring up this matter again."

"yes!"

After Master Ming left, Lan Meier looked up at the deep night, her beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkling.

"Little brat, I've put a lot of money on you, so don't let me down."

......

three days later.

The Fang family's council hall.

"Clap clap clap!"

Fang Shanhai and Li Shanya struck three palms in succession, their divine aura swirling around them, causing the void to tremble.

When a powerful being at the Divine Realm makes an oath, it can naturally trigger some unusual phenomena.

The two powerful figures surrounding them also sensed something.

"From this moment forward, our two families will be allies, helping and supporting each other."

Fang Shanhai said with a smile, "From now on, I'll need Patriarch Li's help."

"Brother Shan Hai is joking."

Li Shanya laughed loudly, "Speaking of which, my Li family benefited from the Fang family's influence."

After exchanging a few polite words, Li Shanya said, "Besides signing the alliance agreement today, I have another matter to discuss."

Li Shanya waved his hand, and Li Xuan was seen carrying an old man over.

"This man is the Qian family's steward."

Li Shanya said, "He came to my Li family hoping that I would reject the Fang family's alliance and choose the Su family instead."

"I brought him here today to show Brother Shanhai my attitude."

Li Shanya solemnly replied, "Since my Li family is allied with the Fang family, we will not be half-hearted."

"Please rest assured, Brother Shanya!"

Fang Shanhai clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "If that day ever comes, the Fang family will die in front of the Li family!"

"Brother Shan Hai, you flatter me!"

Li Shanya said, "Now that our two families have formed an alliance, we should advance and retreat together."

Don't worry.

At this moment, Fang Xuan spoke up: "Now that the Su family knows that our two families have formed an alliance, they will not act recklessly for the time being. We can take this opportunity to quickly improve our strength."

"Well said."

Li Shanya said, "Su Chongming is extremely good at patience. He will not make a move easily unless he is absolutely certain of success."

After discussing the alliance further, the Li family members took their leave.

"Young Master, how should we deal with this person?"

The Third Elder looked at the Qian family steward, Uncle Fu, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Why don't we just kill him?"

"Send them back to the Qian family."

Fang Xuan said calmly, "Have him tell Qian Huaizhou that he either gets out of Qingyang County himself, or I'll help him leave!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"What a brilliant move to kill someone by destroying their spirit."

Fang Shanhe chuckled: "Whether the Qian family agrees or not, at least we've cut off one of the Su family's arms."
