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

Go to the capital and find the Xu family in person!

If these words had been said before Xu Wangshan was killed, many people would probably have just taken them as a joke.

But now, looking at the corpse on the ground, and Cheng Tiesheng, who was already terrified, beside him.

At this moment, they all knew that Lu Xuan was telling the truth and wasn't joking at all.

They killed him without warning.

Along with Xu Wangshan came the guards from his family.

At this moment, everyone's eyes widened, and they dared not breathe heavily.

They had completely lost their previous arrogance.

Some of them still remembered how, just now at the door, one of them had been arrogant towards Lu Xuan and even tried to hit him, only to be beaten into a bloody mist.

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Cheng Tiesheng finally stepped forward and bowed.

"Yes! I will certainly relay the message truthfully!"

Cheng Tiesheng swallowed hard.

At this moment, Cheng Tiesheng even felt that the reason Lu Xuan didn't kill him was because he needed him to help deliver a message, which was why he spared his life.

"What are you all standing there for?"

"You guys are in charge of cleaning up the bloodstains at the scene."

"The rest of you each did your part. First, open the windows to let the smell of blood dissipate."

Xu Jing took control of the situation and instructed the guards who had come with Xu Wangshan to start doing dirty work.

This task was naturally left to them.

Cheng Tiesheng also left in a dejected manner.

Then, without looking back, he sped off towards the capital.

In his view, Jinyuan City was a terrifying place.

How many resources are needed to cultivate a fourth-rank expert?

Cao Yin's cultivation level was no less than his own.

How many years of cultivation did it take to reach this level today?

Who would have thought that he would be annihilated in the blink of an eye today?

Xu Wangshan, with his noble status, must have enjoyed countless riches and honors.

Now it has become a pile of mangled flesh, which is truly heartbreaking.

It wasn't until Cheng Tiesheng left Jinyuan City that he truly felt the sensation of escaping from a deadly situation.

While we were in the city, I had a feeling that Lu Xuan would catch up and whip me.

"Has Xu Wangshan lost his mind?!"

"To dare provoke such a powerful figure, they're truly courting death..."

Cheng Tiesheng cursed under his breath, walked to a stream, washed his face thoroughly, and then got up and fled into the distance.

Gu Yun Pharmacy.

Xu Jing also pulled Lu Xuan to a room upstairs in the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy to express her gratitude.

Lu Xuan stroked Xu Jing's fragrant shoulder.

"Thank you, sir, for saving my life again."

"You yourself performed quite well... You remained calm under pressure, which showed some composure."

Lu Xuan's hand slid down Xu Jing's fragrant shoulder and kneaded it wantonly a few times.

This caused Xu Jing's eyebrows to furrow slightly.

But she lightly bit her red lips, her gaze unfocused.

I don't know if this is pain or excitement.

"I'm setting off for Huangsha City in a couple of days. I'll let the city lord know about things there and ask him to keep an eye on things for you."

"Prepare some medicinal herbs for me as well. I'll refine a pill for the city lord and send it to him."

Lu Xuan said.

He had previously deposited a full eight million taels of silver in this Ancient Cloud Pharmacy specifically to buy medicinal herbs.

Since Lu Xuan was asking the city lord for help, he had to offer some benefits in return.

That's one point.

Another reason is that while we know a lot about Lu Xuan being a fourth-grade alchemist, we have little to confirm.

It was just a pill that Xu Jing presented at the auction.

Also, Nan Siqi obtained a fourth-grade pill.

From the outside perspective, these information channels are not considered particularly legitimate.

Therefore, no one dares to be sure.

Those who wanted to contact Lu Xuan through Xu Jing were all thinking it was better to be wrong than to miss the opportunity. After all, in their view, even if he wasn't a fourth-grade alchemist, he was at least a third-grade alchemist, so they could only make a profit.

"Okay, sure."

"However, this time, Xu Wangshan is dead, and actually quite a few people in the Xu family should be happy about it."

"Even Xu Wangshan's father, who is one of the elders, is of no use, because you, sir, are a fourth-grade alchemist and a fourth-grade expert."

"Even the Northern Spirit True Man is not even one ten-thousandth as good as you, Master."

"The Xu family will not dare to make any rash moves."

Xu Jing said that her small mouth was not only skillful, but also sweet.

Hearing this, Lu Xuan was overjoyed.

"Haha...that's an exaggeration. That old bastard, Master Beiling, does have some tricks up his sleeve."

"If there is any real danger, just go to Xianhe Manor. There is an array I have set up there that can hold out for ten days or half a month without any problem."

Lu Xuan said.

This time in Jinyuan City, Lu Xuan has laid a solid foundation.

They destroyed the Northern Spirit Pill Sect.

He befriended the City Lord's Mansion and Nan Siqi of the Tianyuan Sect.

I reckon Li Wei from the Qinghe Sword Sect will come knocking on our door in the next couple of days.

As a result, Lu Xuan's connections were everywhere in Jinyuan City.

And then there's the Chu family.

Even if I'm not there, I'm sure I can protect Xu Jing and the others.

of course.

If the Xu family, or anyone else, is really going to make a move.

We must first consider Lu Xuan's anger.

If they weren't confident in dealing with Lu Xuan, they definitely wouldn't have attacked Xu Jing and the others.

Including Cheng Tiesheng, who was put back.

There's also Zhao Jinlai from the Lietian Martial Arts School.

After these two return, they will surely spread the news.

Unless these people can find a fifth-rank expert, they are courting death.

Who would dare to confront a powerful individual who possesses both fourth-grade cultivation and is also a fourth-grade alchemist?

Just like the previous Master Beiling.

Even with that level of skill, and without producing a single pill every two or three years, he could still befriend twenty or thirty fourth-rank experts.

What if it were someone like Lu Xuan?

Once you offend them, you'll face a swarm of fourth-rank experts.

Xu Jing understood that Lu Xuan was paving the way for her future.

Xu Jing was so moved that she lowered her head.

Half an hour later.

Lu Xuan took the medicinal herbs and returned to Xianhe Manor.

Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief after learning that everything was alright.

The reclamation project of the medicinal herb garden at Xianhe Mountain Villa is still ongoing.

Lin Qiao also stayed by Yun Shan's side every day, helping her with some things, since Yun Shan didn't practice martial arts and couldn't do some heavy work.

Lu Xuan returned home.

They immediately began refining pills.

Whether the Xu family will take any further action remains to be seen.

However, these relationships need to be taken care of in advance.

It's better to be prepared.

The deaths of a fourth-rank expert and Xu Wangshan did not cause much of a stir in Jinyuan City.

Gu Yun Pharmacy remains open for business as usual.

Even business was exceptionally good.

On the other hand, the Chu family took over most of the shops of Beiling Dantang and opened Jinyuan Dantang.

They only sell first-grade and second-grade pills.

However, it is said that the Golden Origin Pill Hall is also related to that mysterious fourth-grade alchemist.

Otherwise, how could they have opened this alchemy hall?

By nightfall, Lu Xuan had already finished refining the pills.

Then Lin Qiao was asked to deliver it to Xu Jing.

He instructed Xu Jing to hand the document over directly to the city lord.

In this way, Yi Shuhe understood what he meant.

Although court officials were generally not allowed to accept bribes.

However, no one can refuse a fourth-grade elixir.

Especially a fourth-rank martial artist like Yi Shuhe.

If they refused this fourth-grade pill, it would be tantamount to refusing a fourth-grade alchemist like Lu Xuan!

"To break through to the fifth rank."

"It still takes time to hone your skills, because the fifth-grade realm requires extremely high mental strength."

"Although I have the Divine Intent Innate ability to assist me, I started developing this ability too late. It will take me at least three to five years to accumulate enough to reach the level of a fifth-grade expert."

"It seems I need to find some elixirs to enhance my spiritual power."

This was what Lu Xuan thought after he finished refining the pills.

Naturally, we need to find a way to achieve future breakthroughs.

If we stay in the same place, then who knows when an enemy at the fifth rank will come knocking on our door.

It's possible to reach the fifth rank, or even higher.

There will always be stronger opponents, so Lu Xuan must not slack off in his cultivation.

"The baby is almost three months old."

"Time is passing so slowly."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Perhaps because her cultivation level improved too quickly, it wasn't so easy for the others to conceive.

It looks like I'll have to work even harder.

We must not slack off.

Alternatively, one would need to find someone of similar cultivation level.

If you want to get pregnant as soon as possible, you need to have at least a fourth-grade cultivation level.

Hmm... Girls with fourth-grade cultivation level don't seem to be that easy to find.

Lu Xuan was focused on his cultivation.

When Xu Jing delivered the pills to Yi Shuhe.

A figure, travel-worn and weary, returned to the capital.

Along the way, Cheng Tiesheng didn't dare to rest much.

As a fourth-rank expert, he was already able to fly through the air. This trip by Cheng Tiesheng was not only to bring back news to the Xu family.

At the same time, it was also to bring back news to Dong Sheng Martial Arts School.

The Golden Rainbow Martial Arts School lost a fourth-rank expert.

This news alone is enough to change the situation among the major martial arts schools in the capital; it can be said to be quite a bombshell.

This is also an opportunity for Dong Sheng Martial Arts School.

Cheng Tiesheng first brought the message back to the martial arts school, and after having a private talk with the school master and others, he left the school to go to the Xu family to deliver a message and report the situation.

Although the general news would be reported by someone from the Xu family.

However, since Lu Xuan had specified that Cheng Tiesheng should deliver the message, Cheng Tiesheng had no choice but to do so.

Such a powerful person, if they were to settle scores, wouldn't let you off so easily.

Therefore, one must not be careless when handling matters.

Cheng Tiesheng arrived at the Xu family home with a heavy expression.

The Xu family's residence was prosperous and grand.

In addition to operating Guyun Pharmacy, which covers the entire country.

The Xu family has many disciples, all of whom are disciples of the Xuanyu Divine Sect, one of the three great divine sects of the Xuanwu Dynasty.

Even several elders from the Xu family hold official positions within the Xuan Yu Divine Sect.

The vast Xuan Yu Divine Sect is essentially the background of the Xu family.

If an ordinary person wanted to take action against the Xu family, they would have to consider the background of the Xuan Yu Divine Sect first.

Otherwise, how could a mere family have developed into such a large-scale medicinal herb merchant?
