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

Three days later, the Flying Sand Arena Tournament in Huangsha City will begin.

Clearly, Lu Xuan could not afford to delay any longer.

Xu Jing then delivered another batch of medicinal herbs for the Seven Treasures Heavenly Dragon Pill.

At the same time, Xu Jing also told Lu Xuan about the Xu family's decision.

"My family promoted me to the position of head of Jinyuan City. Not only that, they also put me in charge of the entire Guyun Pharmacy within Jinyuan City."

As Xu Jing spoke, her tone revealed an undisguised excitement.

After all, this is a significant leap forward.

Although, given her abilities and qualifications, it should have rightfully belonged to her anyway.

The problem is that there is suppression from above by families, and some people control these channels of advancement by virtue of their own power and position.

This is what makes everything so difficult.

Many talented individuals have been wasted and buried under such circumstances, which is a very shameful thing.

Xu Jing is one of those who managed to break free from these cages.

Of course, without Lu Xuan, all of this would just be wishful thinking.

Xu Jing also knew that the reason she had gotten to where she was today was entirely because she had Lu Xuan backing her.

"This time, the Xu family members have shown some understanding."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

Now that the Xu family members have come to their senses, Lu Xuan won't be too aggressive. Although he's not entirely satisfied with this explanation, at least it shows Lu Xuan that these people are willing to change, so everything is negotiable.

He wasn't a bloodthirsty maniac who would storm the Xu family's territory and kill everyone at the slightest provocation.

"You have dinner here while I finish refining this pill. Find a suitable time to deliver it to Li Wei of the Qinghe Sword Sect to help her maintain her position as sect leader."

"Of course, there's no need to rush things; we should act only at the crucial moment."

Lu Xuan said to Xu Jing.

It wasn't that Lu Xuan was playing any tricks, but rather that doing so often yielded twice the result with half the effort.

Even though Li Wei was already his woman.

But sometimes, you need to use some tricks to make her feel the power.

"clear."

Xu Jing's beautiful eyes widened, and a look of surprise flashed across her pupils.

Could it be that Li Wei of the Qinghe Sword Sect was also captured by the master?

Our master is really amazing.

Xu Jing couldn't help but give Lu Xuan a thumbs up in her heart.

Peaceful times flowed by like water.

With Liu Qingxue's help, Jiang Qin was managing various matters, both inside and outside the office.

Shen Yu takes care of Shen Yue at home. Most of the time, Shen Yu is also the steward of the mansion, and she is in charge of many things.

The operation and maintenance of the entire Xianhe Manor do not require Lu Xuan's involvement.

Lu Xuan had already resolved some of the problems that needed to be addressed.

With Yi Shuhe and others looking after them, nothing bad was bound to happen.

That evening, Lu Xuan handed the refined pills to Xu Jing.

In the early hours of the morning, he and Lin Qiao took a carriage to Huangsha City.

Huangsha City is located relatively close to Wuling County.

It takes a day and a night to reach the destination from Wuling County.

And this doesn't even include the potential dangers that might arise along the way.

For example, some bandits and robbers, and some wanted criminals who were originally planning to go to Huangsha City to escape being hunted down.

Huangsha City can also be considered to be located at the border between Yeliang Kingdom and Xuanwu Dynasty.

Basically, neither side dares to interfere here.

Besides the intimidating presence of the city lord of Huangsha City, there are also the frequent sandstorms near Huangsha City. Anyone who wants to set foot in this place without sufficient strength is courting death.

Even some wanted criminals wanted to hide in Huangsha City.

Many people died on the way.

On the carriage.

Lu Xuan also personally drove the car.

When many people heard that they were going to Huangsha City, they all shook their heads and dared not go.

Lin Qiao was also feeling nervous.

I wonder how my father has been these days. That Huangshacheng is no human being; he actually did such a heinous thing!

We must raze the entire Yellow Sand City to the ground!

Of course, Lin Qiao knew she didn't have that kind of strength; only the master could help.

But if the master also feels it's difficult, Lin Qiao naturally won't be so willful.

However, in Lin Qiao's heart, there was a burning anger.

Two days later.

The carriage finally arrived at a place where yellow sand filled the sky.

It's a desert-like place, but the sand and gravel here are quite solid, making it very uncomfortable to walk on.

The air was filled with a sweltering heat.

"We should have arrived at the Yellow Sand Region where Yellow Sand City is located."

Lu Xuan said.

This expanse of yellow sand before us marks the border between the two great dynasties.

When Lin Qiao peeked out and looked at Lu Xuan, there was clearly some heartache in her eyes.

"Sir, you've had a long journey, driving all the way here."

"It's enough that you care about the master."

Lu Xuan chuckled.

Just as the two were preparing to continue driving,

Ahead, however, appeared a place that resembled a post station.

Several rather dilapidated-looking carriages came into view.

They even set up roadblocks specifically to signal Lu Xuan to stop the car.

"Stop the car! Stop the car!"

"Get down, everyone!"

"This is the territory of Huangsha City. The only way in is by taking a vehicle from Huangsha City!"

"Five hundred taels of silver per person."

The other party immediately asked for five hundred taels of silver.

Do you really think this money came out of thin air?

Of course, for Lu Xuan, a mere five hundred taels of silver was nothing.

However, in Lu Xuan's view, these people were probably acting on their own initiative, grabbing land to make money. They probably paid you, took you halfway, and then just abandoned you.

Or you can pay extra halfway through the journey.

They even take the money and then don't do any work; it's just a gimmick to rob people.

Lu Xuan was very familiar with this kind of tactic.

Lu Xuan glanced at the few fierce-looking men.

He spoke slowly.

"Alright, here's one hundred taels of silver."

"Take the money and move aside."

Lu Xuan waved his hand and then tossed out a silver ingot of one hundred taels.

In a place like Huangsha City, you need to use cash.

Because silver notes are not necessarily valid; they can only circulate within the dynasty, and once outside, they are just worthless pieces of paper.

Clang.

The silver coins fell to the ground and became embedded in the sand.

The group of fierce-looking men suddenly looked down and saw the silver that Lu Xuan had thrown out.

One hundred taels!?

This is treating them brothers like beggars.

"One hundred taels!?"

"You old man, you really don't know what's good for you."

"How dare they humiliate us with a hundred taels of silver!"

The leader, a burly man, was about to rush forward, looking as if he wanted to crush Lu Xuan's head.

Lu Xuan snapped his long whip with a crack.

It struck the big man's head with perfect accuracy.

Bang!

The big man remained standing in the same spot.

However, the head flew directly three zhang away.

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped in shock.

Staring wide-eyed in disbelief at Lu Xuan, who was unassuming in appearance but ruthless in his attacks.

Who exactly is this guy?

They are so arrogant.

With one lash, the man's head flew off.

That person is a high-level first-grade martial artist!

Pick up the money.

"I told you to pick up the money."

Lu Xuan spoke to one of them.

The man was taken aback, then obediently stepped forward and picked up the hundred taels of silver from the ground.

The man whose head had just been smashed was now lying on the ground, blood flowing continuously from his neck, staining the silver coins with blood.

"Aren't you going to remove the roadblocks?"

Lu Xuan said calmly, his tone carrying a chilling killing intent.

Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, the group quickly went over, lifted the roadblock, and let Lu Xuan pass.

Lu Xuan drove his carriage in with an air of nonchalance and then drove away.

With their level of skill, how dare they try to play tricks on Lu Xuan?

Dealing with these people would be a piece of cake for Lu Xuan.

However, this time he came to Huangsha City to discuss business, not to start a massacre. Regardless of who these people are behind, it can be considered as giving them a way out.

Until Lu Xuan's carriage disappeared from sight.

The group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"My goodness... just who is that old man?!"

"That scared me to death, my neck feels a little sore..."

"I told you this business wouldn't be easy... these days, everyone who comes in is a tough nut to crack."

"Let's pack up our stall..."

The group exchanged glances, clearly still shaken by what had just happened.

If Lu Xuan had lashed them a couple more times, several more of them would have died before they could even escape.

One of the more conspicuous individuals immediately made the decision.

"Pack your things and let's go!"

Immediately, everyone packed their things and had their carriages driven away.

But the body was the only one left behind.

Nobody paid any attention to it.

It's just a corpse. Once a person is dead, they naturally have no value, and there's no need to waste time and energy taking the corpse away.

In no time, everyone dispersed.

Although their dealings were quite shady, when they encountered a master or someone even more ruthless, they could only tuck their tails between their legs and run away.

They walked for another hour.

Finally, a yellow-brown city wall came into view ahead.

The city wall wasn't very high, only about two or three zhang high, but it was very conspicuous in this place full of flying yellow sand.

It was this small Tuqiang that withstood the sandstorms from all directions.

Looking around, Lu Xuan could vaguely see that the city walls of Huangsha City were also engraved with formations.

"arrive."

Lu Xuan shouted, and Lin Qiao also emerged at this moment. Looking at the small city in front of her, she was filled with anger and worry.
