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

Then, Lu Xuan rushed towards the library.

There weren't many disciples in the library. Most of the disciples of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect had gone to Jinyuan City or were out on missions.

The library contains mostly prescriptions for medicines and elixirs.

It's not a martial arts manual, and the collection isn't very large.

However, these prescriptions and formulas are all very useful, but there is no need to look at them here frequently.

Lu Xuan easily reached the top floor.

With a sweep of his mental energy, he collected all the high-level pill formulas inside.

The four-grade elixir formulas consist of six volumes.

The Three Grade Elixir Formulas consist of seventeen volumes.

"His alchemy skills are lacking, but he has collected quite a complete set of pill formulas."

Lu Xuan left the library.

He then released his spiritual power, sweeping across the entire Northern Spirit Pill Sect.

I sensed it; there seemed to be some fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from the direction of the alchemy room.

Lu Xuan arrived at this alchemy courtyard.

A wave of intense heat hits you immediately.

There was also a very intense heat wave underfoot.

It is clear that an array was carved beneath the ground.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but think to himself, "This is truly extravagant."

This formation method gathers all the earth fire energy from the surrounding mountains into this place.

Then form a fire formation.

With this method, the temperature of a stove that ordinary people cannot raise can be easily achieved.

However, such formations are expensive to build, and spirit stones need to be added to them from time to time.

Consume spirit stones to maintain the power of the formation.

Only the Northern Spirit Pill Sect could afford such consumption.

However, Lu Xuan arrived a step too late.

The commotion was so great that many people realized what had happened.

Some bold individuals have already begun plundering the sect's property.

Some of the medicine bottles and jars displayed in the shop window were also snatched away; most of these medicines were of the first or second grade.

They were all made by low-level alchemists.

Used to fund the expenses of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect after the sale.

Although these pills are of average quality, only the Northern Spirit Pill Sect can stably produce so many pills in large quantities.

Of course, the existence of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect is not necessarily a good thing.

Perhaps it is the very existence of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect that has negatively impacted the survival of many people.

What has been stolen now are just some broken pills.

Lu Xuan himself looked down on those things.

At this moment, Lu Xuan's gaze turned to the deepest part of this row of courtyards.

These rooms are all alchemy courtyards.

The innermost courtyard was where Master Beiling refined elixirs.

Because of the grand formation, True Person Beiling also refines pills here.

Lu Xuan pushed open the door and entered.

But they discovered that the medicine cauldron belonging to True Person Beiling was still in the same place.

That's why no one came forward to take it.

One reason is that the medicine cauldron of the Northern Spirit True Man has been equipped with array restrictions.

No one can get close enough to take it away easily.

On the other hand...

This medicine cauldron appears to be made of high-quality materials and is extremely valuable; countless people would want to obtain it.

But in reality, it's a classic hot potato.

Carrying it on your person will only bring you death.

Even if you really want to take the items to the black market to sell, or go to a place like Yellow Sand City.

Ultimately, it's a huge problem.

However, this applies to other people.

If it were Lu Xuan, then none of these things would hold true.

"A mere seven-locked array."

"Not worth mentioning."

Lu Xuan arrived in front of the formation and looked around it.

Then they identified several key locations.

He activated his Yuan Gang to shatter the invisible power nodes within these formations.

The effect of this formation is as if the medicine cauldron is locked to the ground with invisible ropes, and the formation is connected to the ground.

Taking away the medicine cauldron is like uprooting the entire earth.

Lu Xuan, through his understanding of the formation, discerned the connection points of these ropes.

Simply chop it up, and you can easily take away the medicine cauldron.

"This medicine cauldron... is actually comparable to Alchemist Yunhe's medicine cauldron!?"

Lu Xuan was slightly surprised.

The medicine cauldron of True Person Beiling is made of fifth-grade spiritual ore, Qinggang Cui rock. It is emerald green all over and exudes vitality. It is also supported by wood-attribute auxiliary materials, so in the process of refining pills, the fierce and violent heat can be made more gentle.

The pills refined using this Azure Divine Cauldron can be imbued with even more vitality and energy.

This is also an effect brought about by a high-level medicine cauldron.

Some high-level medicine cauldrons can add effects to the pills you hold.

It also serves as an anti-counterfeiting mark for some alchemists.

Only special techniques and medicine cauldrons can create such an effect.

It cannot be achieved by mere imitation.

This single fifth-grade Azure Qi Medicine Cauldron is worth at least tens of thousands of spirit stones!

"Although the medicine cauldron is powerful, Master Yunhe's skill as a fifth-grade alchemist is still quite profound."

"Even I am still quite far from being a fifth-rank official."

Lu Xuan sighed inwardly.

The level of a fifth-grade alchemist is naturally very high.

Even Lu Xuan now finds it difficult to reach.

But Lu Xuan was also confident that he would be able to surpass that alchemist Yunhe.

Lu Xuan was originally planning to leave.

But looking down, he saw that after the alchemy furnace was taken away, what remained was the core of this formation.

Light is the core of such formations.

It is a place where almost all the fire veins of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect converge.

"Afterwards, there was no one to maintain it, and we lost this medicine cauldron to hold it together."

"The formation will then disappear on its own."

"I might as well use the last breath of this formation to break through my cultivation level right here."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

His eyes shone brightly.

After all, it wouldn't be good to just waste this formation.

Then, Lu Xuan sat directly inside the formation.

At the same time, several layers of Yuan Gang were set up around it as a restriction.

With these Yuan Gang restrictions in place, unless the other party is a fourth-rank expert, they cannot force their way in.

Otherwise, a person with a third-grade martial arts cultivation level would not be able to break through their own Yuan Gang restriction.

Lu Xuan began to circulate the Heaven-Crossing True Technique within himself.

The violent energy is churning rapidly.

boom!

The Heavenly Crossing Technique mobilized the Yuan Gang power within his body.

At this moment, Lu Xuan also felt a surging energy rapidly gathering beneath his body.

This flame is so intense.

Like a raging torrent of fire.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat.

This energy-concentrated formation is built at the point in this mountain range where the fire attribute is highest.

Therefore, when Lu Xuan circulated his inner energy, all the scorching heat from the mountains converged and surged towards him.

When such surging energy fell upon Lu Xuan...

Lu Xuan also let out a low shout.

The holy flames of spiritual grayness are released from the body, and everything will be absorbed.

At the same time, the three seventh-grade spiritual herbs from before will also be removed.

First, one of the plants was taken out.

"A seventh-grade spiritual herb, the Earth Fire Purifying Lotus!"

"This lotus grows deep within the Earth's magma."

"Born from the fire of the earth, it is said that those who consume and refine it can gain a lifespan of five hundred years."

Lu Xuan looked at the red fire lotus in his hand.

Clearly, the Northern Spirit True Man had no way of refining this item.

Without certain methods, attempting to forcibly refine it is tantamount to swallowing the power of magma alive.

Lu Xuan was protected by the Spirit Ash Holy Flame, and further supported by the powerful Xuan Tian Martial Bone.

That would be worth a try.

Lu Xuan took a bite of the Earth Fire Purifying Lotus in his hand.

Instantly, a surge of earth fire power erupted.

The internal and external energies converged simultaneously, refining Lu Xuan's own spiritual power in that instant.

boom!

Above the entire Northern Spirit Pill Sect's Alchemy Academy.

At this moment, a cloud of fire also appeared.

This fiery cloud of power was entirely generated by the energy produced during Lu Xuan's cultivation.

Many disciples of the Northern Spirit Pill Sect.

I heard that many elders have died, and even the sect leader has been killed.

However, none of the disciples below them received any orders from the fallen sect.

In short, the entire Northern Spirit Pill Sect is currently in a state of great chaos. No one knows what has happened; all that is known is that most of the sect's elders and high-ranking members have been killed in the library.

Some people want to go to the sect leader's secluded place to find him.

However, they discovered that the cave where the sect leader was in seclusion had been destroyed.

At the same time, Elder He's body was also discovered.

There was also a note on Elder He's person.

It says on it that the sect leader is dead.

It was only at this point that the Northern Spirit Pill Sect was completely thrown into chaos.

Some people rushed to seek revenge against their former enemies.

Those who have a grudge against whom they cannot defeat end up having no choice but to hide, leading to a variety of situations.

Looting and killing are taking place in various places.

But there is only one place.

They dared not approach easily.

That's where the Alchemy Institute is located.

A powerful energy was emanating from this place at that moment.

Furthermore, the entire alchemy academy was enveloped by a powerful flame.

Clearly, there are powerful figures doing things here.

Regardless of what the other party wants to do.

Those of them who want to survive should avoid approaching rashly.

They all mingled within sects.

Therefore, he was very clear about these things and knew his limits, so no one came here to disturb Lu Xuan's cultivation and breakthrough.

The Northern Spirit Pill Sect was in complete chaos.

This side of Jinyuan City.

The protectors of the Beiling Pill Sect, along with a group of high-ranking members of the sect who had come with True Person Beiling, were all arrested.

The natural Beilingdan Hall was also directly sealed off.

The reason given was that he was suspected of colluding with the enemy.

Colluding with the enemy!

That's a serious crime.

That's an absolutely heinous crime.

Although the people of the Xuanwu Dynasty lived in hardship, the internal situation was at least relatively stable during this period, and there were no cases of cannibalism.

If we let the Liang Kingdom of that night in, those people are terrifying creatures who would eat human flesh.

At that time, the people will no longer suffer as much as they have ever said.

It seems there's not even a last chance for survival.

Inside an inn.

This inn has long been contracted by the Qinghe Sword Sect, and disciples of the Qinghe Sword Sect are strictly guarding it, making it impossible for outsiders to get close.

At that moment, a person concealed by a package entered.

The disciples of the Qinghe Sword Sect at the gate let them through without any problem.

Yuan Xiaolin, the sect leader of the Qinghe Sword Sect.

They welcomed the person in.

After entering the room, the man immediately took off his outer robe.

Yuan Xiaolin, standing beside him, said angrily.

"That idiot, Master Beiling!"

"It's such a small matter, why do you have to make such a big deal out of it!"

"Now look what's happened! The whole city is under martial law! I wonder if those who were arrested have given away any information about our Qinghe Sword Sect!"

The newcomer was none other than Tong Hu from the Kingdom of Ye Liang.

Tong Hu took a leisurely sip of tea.

"It's alright."

"I've already made contact."

"I can't wait until tomorrow."

"The higher-ups have decided to take action tonight."
