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

Jinyuan City, Beilingdan Hall.

The shopkeeper, He Jinshui, was doing the accounting.

These days, the income of Beilingdan Hall has also been very substantial.

The appearance of Tiger Essence Powder did have some impact on the Northern Spirit Pill Hall, but fortunately, the supply of Tiger Essence Powder was very limited.

It still couldn't shake the position of the Northern Spirit Pill Hall, and since the Northern Spirit Pill Hall itself was located in Jinyuan City, the impact was naturally minimal.

Two days ago, He Donglin, the head of the External Affairs Hall, and Liang Wanquan, a deputy manager of the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy, were there.

The two conspired together to settle their previous mess.

He Jinshui was naturally involved in this matter as well.

But He Jinshui didn't need to worry about fighting and killing; he only needed to take care of the affairs of the entire Beilingdan Hall.

Just now, someone from below came to report.

The young sect leader of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect, along with a large number of experts from the Northern Spirit Pill Sect's Blazing Fire Hall, were all killed.

And it was right inside the Joaquin Casino.

Later, some people rushed into the fire in an attempt to retrieve the bodies of these people.

But it turned out to be completely useless.

After rushing in, all they saw was a pile of bones on the ground.

And it turns to ash at the slightest touch.

It's impossible to tell who's who.

When He Jinshui heard the news, he was completely stunned.

"You mean... Xiao Can... Young Master Xiao is dead!?"

"And the Blazing Fire Hall, so many third-rank experts... second-rank experts, all dead!?"

"Really? You're not seeing things, are you!?"

He Jinshui jerked his hand, spilling all the ink on the table, and the carefully organized account books became a mess.

Then, in a flurry of activity, they rushed forward to tidy up.

"It's absolutely true, shopkeeper! The whole city is buzzing with the news... and the Mu family too... the Mu family was just burned down. The entire Mu family is like a tree falling and its monkeys scattering; everyone's running around in panic, some even fleeing the city!"

"Oh no, the Mu family still owes us money... Sigh, we can't worry about that now."

At this moment, He Jinshui's eyes were shifting between light and shadow.

"This is a huge deal! Get a carriage ready for me immediately."

"No, prepare a fast horse for me immediately. I need to rush to the sect and report this matter personally!"

He Jinshui is in charge of the Beilingdan Hall.

He is also a disciple of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect and an honorary deacon.

As for the messy accounts he had previously handled, they were nothing compared to the deaths of Xiao Can and the others.

As for Liang Wanquan, he wasn't familiar with Liang Wanquan to begin with, and now that he was in trouble himself, he didn't need to care about these things anymore.

He Jinshui hurriedly left the city and headed towards the Northern Spirit Pill Sect.

However, when He Jinshui finally arrived at the Beiling Pill Sect after a long and arduous journey, he was stopped at the gate by the protectors of the Beiling True Person.

"The master is currently in seclusion and will not see anyone."

"Whatever it is, we'll talk about it when the real person comes out."

One of the guardians said coldly.

He Jinshui dared not trespass.

These guardians are all people whom True Person Bei Ling trusts most. If anyone dares to offend them, they will really kill them.

Furthermore, these guardians possess the highest authority within the sect.

Apart from Master Beiling, no one else could make a difference.

He Jinshui could only stand aside, waiting anxiously.

He was also harboring resentment in his heart.

Why did they have to go into seclusion now of all times, of all times, of all times, instead of earlier or later?

He Jinshui was reporting to the Northern Spirit Pill Sect.

Meanwhile, at Gu Yun Pharmacy...

Liang Wanquan finally realized that he had completely messed with the wrong person.

So who exactly is Lu Xuan?

First, they killed He Donglin, then wiped out the Blazing Fire Hall and Xiao Can, and now they're swaggering around, burning down the entire Mu family.

He had just asked around.

Not only the head of the Mu family, but also several of the Mu family's ancestors were killed by Lu Xuan.

Run away!

The only way to survive is to run.

They no longer care about the position of the head of Jinyuan City.

Let's run first and figure things out later.

If he doesn't run away, Lu Xuan will come after him sooner or later.

Liang Wanquan had absolutely no illusions.

Just as he rushed back home in a panic and started packing and organizing his things...

But then he saw two figures walk into his house.

"Manager Liang, why are you packing your luggage in such a hurry?"

Xu Jing walked in with a faint smile on her face.

Grandma Luo followed Xu Jing like a shadow.

"Master Xu!"

"What do you want by coming to my house?"

When Liang Wanquan saw Xu Jing walk in, his eyes trembled and his legs began to shake uncontrollably.

But he remained calm, knowing that as long as he could buy some time, he would be out of the city and everything would be fine.

"Is Steward Liang planning to leave?"

"It's not that you can't leave, but this ledger records how you and He Donglin and the others have been stealing and replacing the medicinal herbs at my Guyun Pharmacy over the years, resulting in losses totaling 64 million taels..."

"Manager Liang, the higher-ups said that as long as you settle this score, this matter will be over."

Xu Jing said with a smile.

He pulled out an account book.

He slammed it on the table.

"Sixty-four million taels?! You're kidding me!"

"Xu Jing, you're trying to pin all these dirty laundry on me. Let me tell you, if I die, you won't get away with it!"

"Do you think I don't know what kind of shady things you've been up to?!"

"Do you think you're clean?!"

Liang Wanquan knew that Xu Jing was there to cause trouble, so he stopped pretending.

He roared at Xu Jing.

Xu Jing, however, remained smiling and was not angered by Liang Wanquan's words.

"Manager Liang, the higher-ups said they want to save face for you."

"But if you don't want to be dignified, then I'll be the one to help you be dignified."

Xu Jing gave a meaningful look.

Granny Luo stepped forward, unfolded the white silk in her hand, then tossed it onto the crossbeam, caught the falling portion, and tied a knot at the end.

Even the length of the white silk was measured perfectly.

Not a single bit was wasted.

"Lord Liang...please."

Grandma Luo also smiled.

The few yellow teeth in his mouth were very shiny.

"I'll ask your father..."

Liang Wanquan threw the luggage in his hand at Granny Luo, and then quickly jumped out of the window.

But at that moment, Granny Luo suddenly appeared behind Liang Wanquan.

He reached out and grabbed the man back, then slapped Liang Wanquan across the neck.

Immediately, a cracking sound was heard.

Liang Wanquan's head immediately drooped.

It's over.

Granny Luo was also very decisive and efficient, hanging Liang Wanquan's body on a white silk ribbon.

Xu Jing also casually threw a letter of repentance on the ground.

At this point, whether Liang Wanquan committed suicide or not is no longer important.

Most importantly, Liang Wanquan is dead.

There's nothing more to say once someone is dead.

No one will investigate what happened afterward. With Liang Wanquan dead, all the previous messes have been taken care of.

Xu Jing looked at Liang Wanquan's corpse without showing the slightest emotion.

After all, Liang Wanquan had previously sent men to Wuling County to target Lu Xuan without showing any mercy.

Since you've already made your move, there's no point in having any complaints now that you've been defeated.

Xu Jing is no docile sheep.

Now that I have such a strong backer as Lu Xuan, why would I need to be polite to you people?

Methods that were previously unthinkable were now being used without hesitation.

"Let's go."

Xu Jing glanced at it indifferently.

How dare someone like Liang Wanquan compete with me?

I'll just go to the inn too.

The medicinal herbs that the master needed have all been prepared.

These medicinal herbs might not be easy to find under normal circumstances, but it just so happens that it's during a trade fair, so we were able to gather them quickly.

However, Xu Jing glanced at these sixth-grade medicinal herbs.

Could it be that Master is about to begin refining fourth-grade pills?

Liufu Inn.

Xu Jing brought some local delicacies and swaggered into the inn.

Now everyone knows that the Six Blessings Inn is where Lu Xuan lives.

Xu Jing's entry at this moment also demonstrates that her relationship with the rest of Lu Xuan is clearly not simple.

It might need to be hidden for a while beforehand.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

After Lu Xuan went on a killing spree in the city, this relationship was displayed in a very good way from then on.

It is also a very powerful signal.

Inside the penthouse suite.

Xu Jing had just stepped into the room when Lu Xuan grabbed her and stripped her naked.

Xu Jing let out a soft cry.

They soon greeted Lu Xuan with enthusiasm and fervor.

"master……"

Xu Jing's soft yet slightly hoarse voice echoed in Lu Xuan's ears, and at that moment, Lu Xuan's offensive became even more intense.

After a series of "uh-huhs" and "ah-ahs".

Xu Jing entered the bathroom, washed up, and dressed neatly.

The original set of clothes had been torn to shreds by Lu Xuan and was no longer wearable, so Xu Jing changed into a different set.

"Congratulations, sir. With the victory of the Mu family, your reputation has begun to resound throughout the Xuanwu Dynasty."

Xu Jing said this while helping Lu Xuan get dressed.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. We've come this far, and there's no way to hide it now."

Lu Xuan shook his head helplessly.

In order to obtain better resources.

Sometimes it is indeed necessary to show off one's abilities.

Otherwise, you simply can't get into the higher circles.

For example, Lu Xuan demonstrated his strength this time, which was seen by Yi Shuhe, the city lord of Jinyuan City, who then invited Lu Xuan to participate in the exploration of the ancient city ruins.

This level of exploration of historical sites is inaccessible to outsiders.

Therefore, some high-end resources have always been in the hands of that group of people.

Even among those involved in the Treasure Hunt Conference, this would be considered a relatively high-end resource.

The secret trading sessions at the Treasure Hunt Conference are actually a kind of threshold, giving you the opportunity to access higher-level resources.

"If it's a true dragon, it can't be hidden forever."

"Instead of hiding your talents, it's better to unleash them."

"Anyway, none of these people are a match for the master."

Xu Jing said with a light laugh.

Lu Xuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Before Lu Xuan could ask any questions, Xu Jing took out a storage ring.

"Master, these are the medicinal herbs you asked me to collect, along with some extra spirit stones."

"Oh? So fast?"

Lu Xuan was slightly surprised. He then checked the medicinal herbs in the ring and, with a thought, placed them into his own storage ring.

"Take the spirit stones; I'll need your help finding some medicinal herbs later."

"By the way, if you have some free time during this period, could you help me find a few poisons... something similar to Yanxin Grass?"

Lu Xuan said.

These medicinal herbs are also intended to be used later to verify the state of the two powers within Yunmeng.

Only by exploring the properties of these things on Yunmeng's body could they discover them.

That would make it very easy to understand Yunmeng's physical condition.

Currently, the only option is to use third-grade pills to support Yunmeng's physical condition.

The consumption of elixirs allows Yunmeng's vitality to be maintained for longer.

"Poisonous herbs... okay, no problem."

Xu Jing pondered for a moment, recalled the thoughts in her mind, and then nodded.

"By the way, sir, I've also taken care of Liang Wanquan's situation."

Xu Jing said.

"Oh? As expected of my Jing'er."

Lu Xuan gave a thumbs up.

"The Chu family also gave me a house today, called Xianhe Villa. I'll move there around tomorrow and return this place to them. After all, the inn needs to do business too."

"Xianhe Manor? That's a wonderful place. There are nine places in Jinyuan City with abundant spiritual energy, and Xianhe Manor is one of them. There is a unique spiritual spring in the manor, full of spiritual energy. I heard that wild spiritual cranes occasionally fly here."

"This Xianhe Mountain Villa is also known as one of the ten major villas in Jinyuan City."

Xu Jing exclaimed in surprise.

Clearly, he knew Xianhe Manor very well, and was also extremely shocked that the Chu family was able to give Xianhe Manor to Lu Xuan.

"There are so many tricks?"

Lu Xuan hadn't expected this, but he didn't care.

This is just one of his many habitats.

There will naturally be even better houses in the future.
