I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

The two kidnapped children were both only about six years old.

Judging from their clothes, they should all be children from nearby villages.

Although the security situation in Wuling County is stable, dark things inevitably happen in the villages surrounding Wuling County.

"How could these people do this to such young children!"

Liu Qingxue brought the child out.

After checking, it was found that the child had been drugged and rendered unconscious.

However, their vital signs were very stable.

There's no rush to wake the two children now.

"Take him to Fengwu Hall."

Lu Xuan said.

It's hard to say which of the government offices in Wuling County are clean and which are not.

But what he did know was...

At least the current Fengwu Hall is genuinely for the benefit of the people.

It would be more reassuring to leave the child at Fengwu Hall.

"Uh-huh."

Liu Qingxue nodded.

Previously, Liu Qingxue's mood was sullen and listless, with only revenge in her eyes.

But now, when Liu Qingxue discovers that she can actually do good deeds and help the people with her own strength, it's as if a door has been opened in her heart.

Entering through this gate, Liu Qingxue also found her own path within it.

The main gate of Fengwu Hall is guarded day and night.

Lu Xuan also activated a burst of internal energy, which enveloped the two children and slowly landed in front of the two guards.

"Who's there!?"

The two guards were taken aback when they saw the child fall, and then they immediately looked around warily.

But no one was found.

The two exchanged a puzzled look, then stepped forward to check and found that the children were unconscious.

"Hey? Isn't this the child who came to report missing a couple of days ago from next week's village?"

"It seems that's true."

Upon seeing the child, the two quickly put away their weapons.

Then he quickly brought the two children into the house.

Lu Xuan and Liu Qingxue, who were watching from a distance, left only after confirming that the child was safe.

On the way back, Liu Qingxue seemed to become more cheerful.

Even her smiles have become more frequent.

Lu Xuan was also extremely gratified.

it is good.

A cheerful mood is what gives people energy to live.

I promised Liu Qingxue that I would take her to deal with the Blood Mist Cult.

However, the Blood Mistress Cult has been keeping a low profile during this period.

There was absolutely no clue whatsoever.

Or rather, the true area of ​​activity of the Blood Mother Cult was not in the vicinity of Wuling County, but in other places.

But no matter what, as long as the other party is still around, there will definitely be a chance to encounter them.

First, we need to improve our strength.

It's not too late to do these things then.

"Such a small county as Wuling has such a complex web of power dynamics."

"It seems that if we want to move to Jinyuan City, we'll need to have even greater strength."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

We returned to Zihu Villa.

Xu Jing has already had someone deliver the ingredients for the Spirit Qi Pill.

In the past few days, Lu Xuan was not in a hurry to go to Jinyuan City to deal with Liang Wanquan.

The deaths of Lü Hui and Zhang Yuan will keep Liang Wanquan busy for a while. When that kid finds out the news, he will definitely be in a panic.

Before the treasure-hunting competition begins.

Lu Xuan also planned to improve his strength first.

Let's see if we can break through to the fourth rank!

In addition, refine some more elixirs.

Shen Yue and the others have now reached the first rank in cultivation.

The demand for elixirs naturally increased.

There's also the pill I promised Ye Luoxin, which I need to prepare for her as well.

In case I go somewhere for sightseeing, I can't delay the payment of the promised reward.

Xu Jing has already spread the news.

Xu Jing also took some time to visit Zihu Villa.

After learning that everything regarding Lü Hui had been dealt with, they all secretly gasped in shock.

When she looked at Lu Xuan, her eyes were filled with admiration.

He truly lives up to his reputation as my master.

"By the way, sir, didn't you say you were going to Jinyuan City to participate in the Treasure Hunt?"

"Although our Guyun Pharmacy is not the organizer, we have been invited by the three major sects. There will be a special internal trade fair. If you wish, you can participate in the name of our Guyun Pharmacy."

Xu Jing said.

Since this treasure-hunting event is about trading, there must be certain distinctions between different categories.

Some high-ranking individuals naturally conduct their transactions in high-class settings.

"Oh? That's fine too."

Lu Xuan did not refuse after hearing this.

After all, he needs a lot of resources now.

For example, some powerful magical artifacts, and some gems used to set up formations.

These things are also very precious.

It's not available everywhere.

If each of Shen Yue and the others had a weapon, it would cost an unknown amount of money.

"Okay, then I'll give you your name, and we'll set off together."

"it is good."

Lu Xuan nodded.

"Oh right, the former owner of Fenghai Martial Arts School also told me he wanted to go with us, so let's bring them along too."

"no problem."

Xu Jing nodded and said.

Xu Jing was quite familiar with Fenghai Martial Arts School.

After all, as a martial arts school, the amount of medicinal herbs used on a daily basis is quite large.

Although Tieshan Martial Arts School has closed down.

However, there are still some other small martial arts schools in Wuling County.

However, at present, Fenghai Martial Arts School is naturally the dominant force.

Some time ago, it was even rumored that Lin Haichao, the master of Fenghai Martial Arts School, had broken through to the second rank in cultivation.

This caused a sensation in the martial arts community.

Two days later.

Jinyuan City, Guyun Pharmacy.

A figure hurriedly slipped into the room of the deputy steward, Liang Wanquan.

"How's it going? Have you found out where Lü Hui and Zhang Yuan are?"

At this moment, Liang Wanquan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He served as the deputy steward of Jinyuan City.

Because of his previous excellent performance in Wuling County, Liang Wanquan's position in Jinyuan City was extremely secure.

The position of the next leader is a sure thing.

There are only a few months left before the leadership transition.

But it was precisely at this time that the Tiger Essence Powder incident occurred.

The appearance of Hu Yuan San is a good thing for the entire Gu Yun Pharmacy.

But for Liang Wanquan, it was the worst thing ever!

Because this greatly threatened his position!

He spent a lot of money to bribe his way to this opportunity, and now he's just waiting for the position to become available.

But the rumors coming from above made Liang Wanquan realize something.

That damn woman might be about to take over.

So Liang Wanquan immediately got to work.

Having made contact, Lü Hui, who also sensed the crisis, and the two hit it off immediately.

As long as Lu Xuan is eliminated.

Then have Zhang Yuan find any alchemist and claim that Lu Xuan stole his prescription.

Then Lü Hui was able to exert pressure, making it impossible for Xu Jing to continue selling Tiger Essence Powder.

Liang Wanquan, on the other hand, could use Lu Xuan's theft of the prescription to directly deal with Xu Jing.

A win-win solution emerged.

This naturally excited Liang Wanquan.

But two days have already passed.

The fact that no news came back naturally made Liang Wanquan anxious.

But that's not the main point.

The main issue is that many rumors have been circulating recently.

Someone had somehow leaked some of the secret deals he and Lü Hui had made.

Even some ledger data has been leaked.

There are already faint signs from above that they are about to start investigating this matter.

There is some pressure.

For a time, Liang Wanquan was also thinking of various ways to solve the problem.

"No...no news at all..."

"Most importantly, we haven't even found the person."

"and……"

The trusted confidant who had been sent out spoke with some hesitation.

"And what? Tell me!"

Seeing the other party's hesitant expression, Liang Wanquan became even more furious.

You don't even know when to keep people in suspense!

"I heard in Wuling County... that Lü Hui and his gang have fled to avoid punishment."

"What!?"

"What do you mean, 'fleeing from justice'?! What the hell are you talking about?!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Wanquan slammed his hand on the table in anger.

At the same time, the pen holder on the table was swept directly onto the ground.

His eyes were also very tense, darting left and right.

"It must be that bitch."

"It must have been that bitch who did this."

"What a vicious woman, actually trying to pull this on me."

Liang Wanquan's eyes were fierce, and he kept muttering to himself.

Fleeing to evade punishment?

What other crime could it be?

Isn't it just about the kickback incident from before?

It's just taking a kickback, nothing serious.

Why would he need to flee?

This is clearly very unreasonable.

Besides, where could you possibly escape to if you wanted to?

"Damn it... that bastard better be dead!"

Liang Wanquan cursed inwardly.

At this moment, Liang Wanquan was also extremely worried.

For now, there's no better solution than to keep waiting.

The treasure hunt competition is coming up again soon.

Absolutely no mishaps are allowed.

"Wait... the Treasure Hunt Competition..."

Liang Wanquan's eyes lit up.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a good idea had come to mind.

"As long as this woman dies accidentally."

"Then many things can be resolved."

"Now that Lü Hui has disappeared, there's no way to verify the truth."

"That's actually a good thing..."

"Perhaps this is an opportunity."

"If you're going to do something, do it all the time..."

At that moment, a cold glint flashed in Liang Wanquan's eyes.

"Listen, immediately find out for me when the officials in charge of each of the counties arrived here and along their routes."

Liang Wanquan said.

"yes!"

The subordinate nodded quickly.

Then he went to handle the matter.

Afterwards, Liang Wanquan also went alone to a secluded building in the city.
