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

Xu Wen made the decision.

Even Xu Chao could only give up for the time being.

However, this matter will not end here; a response is definitely needed.

After all, Xu Wen is now the Second Elder, and holds a very important position in the Elders' Hall.

Subsequently, Xu Wen also signed an elder's decree, which promoted Xu Jing to the position of head of Jinyuan City and entrusted Xu Jing with all affairs of Jinyuan City and its subordinate counties.

That's considered a promotion.

He not only became the person in charge, but also the local supervisor.

The Third Elder, Xu Chao, didn't say much about this arrangement.

In his view, this was just letting the other party jump around a little before they died.

The higher you jump, the faster you die.

The most urgent and important task now is to find out whether Lu Xuan belongs to a hostile force, and whether it is because of this force that they are trying to deal with the Xu family through this method and means.

Once it's confirmed, then we can take down Lu Xuan and the others directly.

With the Xu family's resources, summoning a dozen or twenty fourth-rank experts would be no problem at all.

The problem is, what if Lu Xuan's backing isn't an enemy force, but rather a hidden superpower? That would be dangerous for the Xu family.

Unintentionally provoking some even more powerful beings is the real crisis for the Xu family.

Once a family reaches this level, every step naturally requires treading on thin ice.

Cheng Tiesheng listened to the Xu family's decision and felt that Xu Wen's decision was extremely wise.

"In that case, I shall take my leave now."

"You can discuss the rest yourselves."

"Our Dong Sheng Martial Arts School will always be a friend of the Xu family."

Cheng Tiesheng said.

As one of the three major martial arts schools in the capital, Dong Sheng Martial Arts School naturally has its own unique skills.

They also maintain friendly relations with all the various factions within the city.

Generally speaking, there will be no hostile situation.

As a martial arts school, the most important thing is to open your doors and do business. You send people here to learn, and after they have learned something, they come back to give back to the school.

Regarding what happened to the Xu family in the capital.

Lu Xuan naturally had no idea.

After refining the pills last night, I adjusted my state slightly and then took out Jiang Dachun's cultivation technique to deduce it.

This technique is quite amazing; it doesn't differentiate between realms, only between progress levels.

It's like a tunnel that keeps stretching forward.

Only by continuously moving forward and pushing this path forward can Jiang Dachun's cultivation level be further improved.

"Da Chun, you try it out. I'll deduce the follow-up techniques for you."

"Follow the route I gave you."

Lu Xuan called Jiang Dachun to his side and then taught him the method of operation.

"Yes, Master!"

Jiang Dachun responded.

Jiang Dachun then began cultivating on the spot.

After Jiang Dachun completed one cycle, he immediately felt that his stagnant cultivation was finally about to break through the bottleneck.

"Master! It's working!"

"I feel like my cultivation level is about to break through!"

Jiang Dachun said with delight.

"Hehe, it's good that it works."

"You can practice first. I'll be going out of the courtyard, and you'll need to keep an eye on things here."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

Jiang Dachun nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely protect the resort!"

Jiang Dachun then left happily, clutching the cultivation manual in his hands.

He's not as smart as Lu Xuan.

If you don't practice according to the method, you'll forget how to practice after a while, so you need to have the route map with you.

Life in Jinyuan City was quite peaceful.

There hasn't been much news coming from Huangsha City yet.

Although Lin Qiao was anxious, she could only wait.

However, just as Lu Xuan said, after the other party captured his father, they would need his father to participate in battles to earn money. They would not harm his father; at most, his life would just be a little harder.

But perhaps this is also a good opportunity for the father to improve his skills.

Lu Xuan also went to check on Yunmeng's situation.

With the blessing of elixirs and spiritual energy.

Yunmeng also spends more time waking up each day.

That's a good thing.

But after Lu Xuan conducted a thorough examination...

But then they realized something was wrong.

Although Yunmeng's awakening time has become longer, the dormant power within her body has not weakened; on the contrary, it feels as if it is slightly gathering strength, which invisibly increases the risk.

Therefore, it is essential to improve Yunmeng's strength as quickly as possible.

Lu Xuan taught Yun Meng the Purple Qi Technique and also urged her to cultivate it.

"Don't worry, my wives all cultivate the Purple Qi Technique. Once they arrive, they can guide Xiao Yunmeng."

"Although cultivating the Purple Qi Technique cannot restore Xiao Yunmeng to normal, it can help increase her resistance when she is truly asleep, so that she will not fall into danger so easily."

"It is safe even when you are asleep."

Lu Xuan comforted Yun Shan.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shan's eyes also welled up with tears, and she kowtowed repeatedly to Lu Xuan.

"Thank you, sir. Your kindness to us sisters is greater than the heavens. Even if Yunshan served you for ten lifetimes, it would not be enough to repay you."

"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"You're still young, and you'll have a bright future ahead of you. Keep your sights on the future. When you achieve great success, just don't forget your master, haha."

Lu Xuan said.

"Yun Shan wouldn't dare."

"Alright, don't be so reserved. Your pharmacological knowledge is very solid. When you have time, go and visit Guyun Pharmacy and Jinyuan Pill Hall more often."

"I'm giving you this million taels to manage. You can use it to buy seeds, spiritual materials, or books, which will make things easier for you. If you need anything, just go to those two medicine shops or pill shops and tell them. I've already made arrangements."

Lu Xuan said.

I had already visited the newly opened Jinyuan Dantang of the Chu family earlier.

With Lu Xuan, a fourth-grade alchemist, in charge, everyone knows that the Golden Origin Pill Hall and the Ancient Cloud Medicine Hall have a friendly cooperative relationship, so there is no issue of offending either one by going there.

"Yes, sir."

Yun Shan accepted the one million taels of silver notes handed to her by Lu Xuan.

She certainly wouldn't squander this money; to her, money was useless.

After all, she had worked so hard to earn money so that she could buy medicine to treat her sister's illness.

Now that her younger sister's condition has improved and there is hope, it is all thanks to the master's help. Naturally, she doesn't need any money or anything like that; she can just consider herself as having sold herself to the Lu family.

Of course, Lu Xuan paid the wages he was due as usual.

We can hand over these accounts to Yue'er and the others later.

"Master, the injured woman from last time has come to see you."

Jiang Da came to report.

An injured woman?

Li Wei?

Lu Xuan was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

This silly boy doesn't even know how to address a beautiful woman properly. Could it be that he has no talent for aesthetics?

All the talent points were allocated to self-healing!?

"Have her wait for me in the front hall."

Lu Xuan said.

Jiang Dachun went to summon him.

When Lu Xuan arrived at the front hall, he saw Li Wei sitting gracefully in a chair, dressed in a quiet and elegant long dress.

Her long, straight black hair was tied behind her back, but it fell gently onto the chair, perfectly outlining her slender waist and voluptuous hips.

A pair of small hands rested on her legs, her eyes curiously looking at the decorations and displays in the hall.

Given Senior Lu's status and position, the house was surprisingly simple. There were no gold or jade artifacts displayed, nor any pretentious scrolls or albums. Only some flowers and plants in the corners, which exuded a delicate fragrance.

Li Wei turned her gaze and saw Lu Xuan walking in through the door. Li Wei immediately stood up and went to greet him.

"Senior Lu."

"Miss Li, what brings you here? Have you finished dealing with matters at the sect?"

Lu Xuan smiled slightly when he saw Li Wei.

He looked Li Wei up and down, admiring her graceful figure.

it is good.

Her beauty is unparalleled, truly deserving of being called one of the two beauties of the sword immortals alongside Nan Siqi.

Furthermore, Li Wei and Nan Siqi have very similar temperaments, both being prodigies from martial arts sects, so it's no wonder they are compared.

However, in Lu Xuan's view, Nan Siqi was obviously more naive.

But Li Wei, who is standing in front of me, has a lot more on her mind.

For example, right now, after seeing Lu Xuan, Li Wei took the initiative to step forward and help him walk in. She held Lu Xuan's arm with both hands, and her thick clothes brushed slightly against Lu Xuan's arm.

However, when Li Wei took Lu Xuan's arm, she immediately felt Lu Xuan's solid muscles. He didn't look like an old man with white hair. Lu Xuan's full head of white hair really made people take him for granted.

Who would have thought that such an appearance would conceal such a powerful physique?

"I came here specifically to see Elder Lu."

"Mr. Lu, you are in very good health."

Li Wei smiled sweetly.

"I'm getting old, I can't beat you young people anymore."

Lu Xuan said, since Li Wei was so cooperative, Lu Xuan didn't hesitate and reached out to cover Li Wei's fair and delicate hand.

"My skin is so rough and old, while your young people's skin is so smooth and soft, it feels so comfortable to touch."

"Old Master Lu saved my life and provided me with a lot of support before the auction. I could never repay him even if I worked like a slave. If Old Master Lu likes it, then feel free to touch it."

Li Wei deliberately extended her hand and said generously.

Lu Xuan chuckled.

Who cares to touch those little hands?

"You... are just so well-behaved and sensible, and lovable."

Before the auction, Lu Xuan had proactively handed the person over to Li Wei to handle.

This can be seen as a tacit admission that Yuan Xiaolin and others were traitors to the Qinghe Sword Sect. This approach also made it easier for Li Wei to salvage the reputation of the Qinghe Sword Sect at the time. Otherwise, if the City Lord's Mansion investigated this matter, the entire Qinghe Sword Sect would suffer.

All of this was because Lu Xuan was kind-hearted, which gave her the opportunity.

It was precisely because she salvaged the reputation of the Qinghe Sword Sect that Li Wei was able to have a greater say when she returned to the sect.

"Has the situation in the sect stabilized?"

Lu Xuan took the initiative to ask.

"Yes, thanks to Elder Lu's help in getting rid of that traitor Yuan Xiaolin, we were able to take the opportunity to eliminate their henchmen."

"Mr. Lu, I've come here partly to thank you, and partly to make a request."

As Li Wei spoke, she took out two scrolls from her storage ring.

Lu Xuan didn't speak, and continued to look at Li Wei.

"These two volumes contain two unique techniques from my Qinghe Sword Sect."

"One of them is a low-grade Earth-rank sword technique, the Great River Sword Qi."

"One of them is a high-grade Xuan-level movement technique, the Luoshui Divine Movement Step."

"Wei'er wants to use these two items to exchange for something from Elder Lu."

Li Wei's gaze was fixed on Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes.

"Do you want the Nine Rivers Sword?"

Lu Xuan had already planned to return the Nine Rivers Sword to Li Wei, especially since she had also brought out two scrolls of cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities.

Even just these two volumes of unique skills are incredibly valuable.

However, Li Wei shook her head slightly.

Instead, she moved closer to Lu Xuan, and at the same time, a soft, boneless hand slowly clung to Lu Xuan's broad chest.

He spoke softly, his breath carrying the fragrance of orchids.

"What Wei'er wants... is Elder Lu's strong support."
