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

Yun Shan thought she was going to die today.

She finally managed to scrape together 10,000 taels of silver, which, together with the 10,000 taels of silver she had painstakingly saved before, was enough for her.

The total amount is 20,000 taels of silver.

She had already made an agreement with the people from the Northern Spirit Pill Hall.

Twenty thousand taels of silver were used to purchase a grade three elixir from the Beilingdan Hall.

However, when she came today with the silver...

However, he was ridiculed by the young master.

They also demanded that she offer herself to them, plus 20,000 taels of silver, before they would sell her the elixir.

Although Yun Shan wasn't very knowledgeable, she was very clear that this person was obviously a wolf in sheep's clothing and would never sell her the pills.

So, Yunshan pretended to go upstairs to her room.

When the other man took off his clothes, Yun Shan kicked him directly in the groin.

Then he snatched his silver notes back, jumped out of the second-floor window, and tried to escape.

This is what Lu Xuan just saw.

At the young master's command, a large group of his men came to hunt down Yun Shan.

Yun Shan thought she was doomed today.

But to everyone's surprise, Lu Xuan appeared as if a divine warrior had descended from the heavens and attacked.

The moment Yun Shan saw Lu Xuan, she felt a sense of security she had never felt before.

Although she wasn't very familiar with Lu Xuan, she could sense a powerful force emanating from him.

"Mr. Lu?"

Yun Shan was taken aback.

"Miss Yun, come up quickly."

Lin Qiao reached out her hand to Yun Shan, who hesitated for a moment before taking Lin Qiao's hand and being pulled into the carriage.

"Thank you for saving me..."

Yun Shan said.

Yun Shan's eyes were filled with gratitude.

However, the carriage is now stuck in this alley.

Even if the driver is highly skilled, he can't get out now.

"Sir, the carriage is stuck."

The coachman said to Lu Xuan.

"It's fine, let's just leave it here."

Lu Xuan said, then lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down.

At this moment, the crowd that had been scattered by the carriage quickly gathered together and surrounded Lu Xuan and his group. One of them was seriously injured and fell unconscious.

"How dare you injure someone from my Northern Spirit Pill Hall!"

The burly man at the head of the group stared angrily at Lu Xuan in front of him.

But he was smart and didn't rush to make a move.

Because he didn't know Lu Xuan's identity, if Lu Xuan's identity was noble and caused trouble, then if he took action directly, it would be like playing with fire.

We have to wait for another person to arrive.

The most important thing is to surround these people and prevent them from escaping.

"Damn it! What are you bunch of useless trash standing around for? Grab that bitch!"

A young man with a flushed face rushed in. From his expression, it was clear that he had just experienced some kind of devastating pain, and even as he ran, he seemed unable to take a single step.

And his forehead was covered in sweat.

"hiss……"

The young man in fine clothes was furious to see his men standing there dumbfounded. He wanted to grab them all and give them a good beating.

"Young Master, this old man suddenly rushed out and injured several of our brothers. We don't know his identity yet."

The burly man who had been shouting earlier now spoke in a low voice to the finely dressed young man.

It seems to be explaining the situation, but in reality, it is handing over all the power and decision-making on site to the young people.

In this way, although he would be blamed to some extent, he would not be immediately pushed out to take the fall.

"He's just a useless old man!"

"You bunch of freeloaders! What have we been doing feeding you? Get up here! Whatever happens, I'll take full responsibility!"

The young man, who was called the Young Master, immediately roared.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt there was nothing to fear and could proceed with their actions without restraint.

"Wait a minute... I just heard them say... you're the young master?"

"The young master of the Northern Spirit Pill Hall?"

Lu Xuan suddenly raised his hand.

He gestured for everyone not to fight, and instead took the initiative to ask, his expression softening somewhat.

Upon hearing this, the young master wondered if the other party recognized him or had some connection with the Northern Spirit Pill Sect.

"You know me?"

The young master also signaled to his underlings behind him not to make a move.

He also stomped his foot and rubbed it. That wretched woman's kick was really hard; it almost knocked him unconscious.

"May I ask, what is your relationship with He Donglin?"

Lu Xuan continued to ask.

He Donglin?

He is the young master of the hall, while He Donglin is the master of the external affairs hall.

What do you think our relationship is?

"Do you know my father?"

A hint of suspicion flickered in He Chen's eyes.

These two days are the day of the Treasure Hunt Competition.

Indeed, many reclusive masters have appeared, and among them, it is inevitable that some of them will know their fathers.

After taking a closer look at Lu Xuan's appearance and the accompanying carriage, I realized he was quite extraordinary and we should indeed be wary of him.

If it's an old friend of my father, I should still give him some face.

Yun Shan, who was in the carriage, couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in her heart when she heard Lu Xuan and He Chen talking.

Oh no, these two know each other.

Could it be that they are the ones on our side?

Yun Shan couldn't help but feel nervous.

Fortunately, Lin Qiao gave Yun Shan a reassuring look.

"We've gotten to know each other."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

"Even if you're acquainted with my father, I'm taking that woman with me today! Even if my father comes, it won't change anything!"

"Since you know who your father is, then get out of the way quickly."

He Chen spoke to Lu Xuan without the slightest hint of politeness.

"It's alright, it's alright. Here, come with me. Your father will be here soon too."

Lu Xuan waved his hand.

"Um?"

He Chen was baffled by Lu Xuan's words.

My father is going to see you?

Who do you think you are?

Even if you know my father, it's impossible for me to let him meet you.

It should be you who's eagerly coming to see my dad.

"You lot, you can go find his father now."

"Tell his father to bring 500,000 taels of silver to the Liufu Inn within one hour."

"Otherwise, I'll cut off one of his hands every half hour."

Lu Xuan said slowly and deliberately.

Judging from their tone of voice, someone who didn't know better would think they were having a proper discussion.

Why does it suddenly feel a bit off?

Even He Chen himself pondered it carefully.

Judging from this, it seems like they're planning a kidnapping.

"You...you're going to kidnap me?"

He Chen looked at Lu Xuan and voiced his doubts.

"Not stupid at all."

Lu Xuan grinned.

Hearing this, He Chen finally understood. This old man was a fool. How dare he talk to him like that? He was acting crazy. How could he possibly still recognize his father? He had been so wary of him for so long.

"Damn it, I've actually been here wasting my time talking nonsense with a lunatic like you!"

"All of you, attack him! Kill him!"

He Chen was too lazy to waste words with Lu Xuan.

He immediately waved his hand, ordering his men to take action.

However, just as these people were clamoring to rush forward and attack, a powerful shockwave suddenly swept in.

boom!

These dozen or so thugs from the Northern Spirit Pill Hall were directly blown away by the shockwave.

He Chen also watched helplessly as his subordinates were blasted away.

At this moment, he also realized that Lu Xuan was no ordinary person.

He immediately turned around and prepared to escape.

But the next moment, a powerful suction force pulled him towards Lu Xuan.

Bang!

Lu Xuan placed one hand on He Chen's shoulder.

He glanced at the thugs in front of him who had been sent flying by his blast.

And there's He Chen right in front of me, completely shocked.

"By the way, just in case his father doesn't believe what you say."

"Take this arm back to his father."

This arm?

What does that mean?

He Chen was wondering about this when he saw Lu Xuan suddenly make a move.

Click.

He Chen felt a piercing pain.

The next moment, his right arm was torn off by Lu Xuan.

"what!"

The excruciating pain caused He Chen to let out a heart-wrenching roar of agony.

"Shut up."

Lu Xuan delivered a palm strike to He Chen's throat.

Of course, he held back, otherwise he would have severed the neck in one go.

He Chen's painful roar was forcibly swallowed back.

"Cough cough cough..."

Lu Xuan tossed the severed hand to He Chen's men.

"Remember, within one hour."

Then, Lu Xuan raised his hand and unleashed a burst of energy, lifting the carriage and horses into the air and turning them around.

Then he grabbed He Chen and leaped onto the carriage.

The coachman was very quick-witted; he immediately spurred the horses to gallop.

I just experienced what it felt like to fly into the air and turn around; it was quite a rare experience.

The carriage sped away.

As they passed by, they also ran over He Chen's severed hand; there was no other way, the alley was just too narrow.

As the carriage departed.

Those who remained in the alley stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Quickly... the young master's hand..."

One of his men rushed forward and retrieved the severed hand that had been run over by the wheel.

"Quick...quickly go find the sect leader...this is...a serious matter!"

The burly man at the head of the group never expected things to develop to this point.

He was completely caught off guard by what had just happened.

How could this happen?

Was this old man prepared beforehand, or did he act on a whim?

Of course, none of that matters now.

The most important thing is to report this situation to the hall master first!

Fortunately, 500,000 taels of silver shouldn't be too much for the hall master.

However, if this money is paid, wouldn't Hall Master He lose all face?

He Chen's underlings left in a panic.

On the return journey in the carriage.

Lu Xuan and the others listened calmly as Yun Shan recounted what had happened between her and He Chen.

"Pah, you scum!"

Lin Qiao was disgusted by He Chen's actions. She was a person who hated evil and went up to him, slapping him across the face.

He Chen was stunned by the slap; he hadn't recovered from the pain of losing his arm.

My throat was hit hard again, and now I've been slapped.

This has caused quite a stir.

He Chen felt extremely humiliated.

But at this moment, he was also very clear in his heart that only by enduring hardship could he have a chance to turn things around.

When his father arrives, he will be able to take these people's lives!

Let's bear with it for now.

He Chen immediately pretended to be unconscious and simply lay down in the carriage.

"I see, Miss Yun, there's no need to worry."

"I'm definitely not going to let him live today."

"Where would it be convenient for you to get off, or I could take you home first?"

Lu Xuan said.

He Chen, who was pretending to be unconscious, heard this.

A cold sweat immediately broke out on my chest.

What does that mean?

They won't let me live!?

You just blurted it out like that? You wanted money, now you want my life too!

He Chen was also desperately trying to come up with a solution.

Once he gets away, he will definitely make Lu Xuan taste the pain of losing his arm.

Not only should Lu Xuan's hands be cut off, but everyone connected to him should also have their hands cut off.

"No...no."

"This whole thing started because of me. I can't really help, but I absolutely can't just walk away unscathed."

"It's just that I lack the strength and have dragged Senior Lu down."

Yun Shan shook her head.

In her view, Lu Xuan had already offended He Donglin, who was a hall master of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect. Such a person must have enormous power and terrifying strength.

Yun Shan was also well aware of He Donglin's identity and strength.

Her father used to work at the Beilingdan Hall.

Strictly speaking, Yun Shan and the Northern Spirit Pill Sect also have some connection.

Previously, when Yun Shan heard these people agree to sell her pills with silver, she thought it was out of consideration for her father's past relationship.

But I never expected this to be the result.

This immediately broke Yun Shan's heart completely.

No matter what, we cannot let Lu Xuan bear the burden alone; we should share any consequences.

Furthermore, since she's here, she might be able to plead for someone's life if things get really bad.

Of course, it would be best if we didn't have to die.

Her younger sister is still small and needs to be taken care of.

However, even if we survive tonight, there are still more difficult tasks ahead.

That means you need to earn twenty spirit stones.

Because third-grade pills can only be purchased with spirit stones.

As for the 20,000 taels of silver in hand...

If I could exchange it for fifteen spirit stones, I would be extremely grateful.

Hearing Yun Shan's words, Lu Xuan glanced at her with slight surprise.

Clearly, this little girl has a rather likable personality.

Have principles in doing things.

Having principles is a good thing.

People with principles are worth cultivating.

"You said before that your purpose in seeking out the Northern Spirit Pill Sect was to buy pills. What kind of pills do you want to buy?"

Lu Xuan asked.

"It's a life-extending pill for my sister... She... was born with a terminal illness, and only this life-extending pill can prolong her life and allow her to live for another year."

One year.

Lin Qiao looked at Yun Shan in surprise upon hearing her words, a hint of heartache in her eyes.

After all, it would cost 20,000 taels of silver in a year, which was obviously a very expensive price to pay.

Not only that.

After paying such a high price, all they could gain was a year to save their lives.

It's already come to this.

This scumbag even went so far as to kick someone when they're down.

"You're a real scoundrel."

Lin Qiao stepped forward and kicked He Chen several times hard.

Only in this way can I vent my anger.

"As for third-grade pills... Miss Yun, would you like to make a deal?"
