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

Inside the Peace Inn.

Lin Qiao and Lin Haichao both had tears in their eyes.

At this moment, Lin Haichao no longer possessed the dashing demeanor of his earlier days; in fact, his face now showed signs of aging and decay.

Lu Xuan stood aside, watching the two reunite.

My heart was filled with countless emotions.

He had just checked Lin Haichao's pulse.

Basically, Lin Haichao only has a few days left to live.

Powerless.

He's just an alchemist; he can only refine some pills.

It does not have the ability to bring the dead back to life.

Lu Xuan also quietly left the inn.

There were clean clothes to change into and food prepared inside the house.

Let Lin Haichao and his daughter spend as much time together as possible.

Lu Xuan sat down in the lobby of the inn.

I ordered a cup of tea.

Night had fallen, and a cold wind was howling outside Huangsha City, which sounded quite frightening.

By evening, there were hardly any people eating at the inn; most had gone to the tavern for drinks.

These are the people who mingle in the city of yellow sand.

They lived a life of constant danger and peril.

Their livelihood is not so simple.

Sometimes it is necessary to venture into dangerous places to hunt exotic beasts.

Some will go to high-risk places to do some business, and there are also missions posted in Huangsha City, such as assassination missions and elimination missions.

All of them were jobs with a slim chance of survival.

Therefore, the people in Huangsha City are basically living for the moment.

Moreover, a fierce gang war is currently taking place in the underground city of Huangsha.

The Flying Sand Gang and the Poison Sand Gang were engaged in a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Lu Xuan, the instigator, was sitting here calmly drinking tea.

Lu Xuan sat here to prevent the people of the Peace Inn from being unable to stop the two major gangs.

At this moment, the beautiful proprietress of the inn, with a smile, walked over to Lu Xuan and sat down in front of him, carrying a pot of wine.

"The old man is truly resourceful; he managed to bring the person back from the hands of the Flying Sand Gang and the Poison Sand Gang."

"This wine is my own homemade peach blossom wine, would you like to try some?"

The proprietress placed the wine on the table, and as soon as she opened it, a fragrant aroma wafted out.

Lu Xuan smelled it and felt a sensation that permeated his soul.

"Um?"

Lu Xuan immediately sensed that there seemed to be something different in the wine.

"What? Is the old man afraid it's poisonous?"

The proprietress gave her a flirtatious wink.

"Not at all. Drinking this pot of your wine will likely come at a high price."

Lu Xuan chuckled.

The wine the proprietress brought out was no ordinary wine; it contained an eighth-grade spiritual herb called Heavenly Water Peach Leaf.

Lu Xuan only needed to smell it to feel his mental strength significantly improved.

Lu Xuan had only read about this kind of elixir in the notes of Alchemist Yunhe, and had never actually seen it.

The fact that the proprietress could obtain peach leaves from Tianshui to make wine clearly indicates that she has something important that requires Lu Xuan's attention.

"An eighth-grade spiritual herb, Heavenly Water Peach Leaf, but unfortunately there's only a tiny amount."

Xia Yan was startled when she heard Lu Xuan muttering to himself.

Lu Xuan had actually smelled it!?

The taste of Tianshui peach leaves is very mild. As for the effect of increasing mental strength, you need to have strong mental strength to feel it. Otherwise, it's just like drinking a strong medicine that can refresh you.

Then Lu Xuan's strength is definitely not simple!

"However, such fine wine is worth the price."

Lu Xuan chuckled and then poured himself a cup.

As soon as I drank it, I felt the surging medicinal power, which was now spreading throughout my body.

At the same time, that energy was also assisting his spiritual power, and it was constantly surging upwards.

Lu Xuan also took a slight breath.

The growth of spiritual power has a feeling of clearing away the clouds to see the sun.

It felt as if one's entire soul had been cleansed.

"Excellent wine!"

"Shopkeeper, since I've drunk your wine, please just tell me if there's anything I can do to help."

"Of course, I might not be able to handle the really big, busy jobs."

Lu Xuan said.

Xia Yan has already told me about the trouble I caused in the underground city.

Clearly, this beautiful proprietress has her own methods; otherwise, how could she have kept the Peace Inn running here?

Do you really think that you can keep those people outside in check just because of the name of your Peace Inn?

Although the Peace Inn has someone protecting it, that person can't be there to protect you all the time.

When Xia Yan heard that Lu Xuan was willing to help, she knew that this matter was worth discussing.

"Since you were able to taste the Tianshui peach leaf, senior."

"This junior is willing to offer you, senior, an eighth-grade spiritual herb, the Heavenly Water Peach Leaf, to do me a favor!"

Xia Yan gritted her teeth slightly at this moment.

Tianshui Peach Leaf is her secret.

No one knew she possessed such an item—an eighth-grade spiritual herb. If this news were to leak out, it would be an absolute death sentence!

The reason Xia Yan took such a risk to bring this item out was...

It was because she had conducted an investigation and made a judgment.

They did this because they had reason to believe in Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan came to Huangsha City to look for someone, and it is said that in order to find Lin Haichao, he went to the territories of three major gangs and spent a lot of money.

Now they've gone even deeper into the lion's den, bringing people out of the underground city of Huangsha.

Xia Yan witnessed it with her own eyes.

Furthermore, the intelligence report stated that the entire underground city had been turned upside down as a result, and a massive battle was underway, with the situation in various places in complete chaos.

At this moment, Xia Yan's watery eyes were also fixed on Lu Xuan, her deep eyes filled with longing.

"An eighth-grade spiritual herb as payment?"

Lu Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard Xia Yan's words, but he didn't agree immediately, not letting the elixir cloud his judgment.

The difficulty and the reward are naturally commensurate.

If Lu Xuan took someone's things but couldn't get things done, he would feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Tell me what it is first."

Lu Xuan said, squinting his eyes.

He really wanted an eighth-grade spiritual herb, and if it wasn't too difficult, he could consider it.

Xia Yan was shocked once again upon hearing Lu Xuan's words. At the same time, she realized that Lu Xuan was a truly trustworthy person, far superior to those scoundrels in the martial arts world.

For an ordinary person, the first thing to do would be to examine the item, and they might even be thinking of getting their hands on it.

After all, this is an eighth-grade spiritual medicine, and no one can resist its allure.

Judging from Lu Xuan's expression, he was quite tempted, but he did not rashly agree.

"I would like to ask you, senior, to help me kill someone."

Xia Yan took a small breath, as if she had mustered up her courage, and spoke her wish.

A wish buried deep in my heart.

Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

"The Lord of Huangsha City?"

Lu Xuan looked at Xia Yan and asked.

Xia Yan's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Lu Xuan, clearly astonished at how he knew.

"Hehe, in this Yellow Sand City, apart from the city lord, there shouldn't be any other life worth this price."

Lu Xuan took another sip of Tianshui Peach Leaf Wine.

As Lu Xuan took those two sips, he also felt the energy of the Heavenly Water Peach Leaf Wine in his hand. The Heavenly Water Peach Leaf seemed to be quite old. Lu Xuan was curious about how Xia Yan obtained such a rare spiritual herb.

Eighth-grade spiritual herbs are already used to refine sixth-grade pills.

"good."

Xia Yan nodded.

At this point, he simply and openly admitted it.

She had kept this secret in her heart for many years, constantly thinking about killing that damned person.

Everyone knows that she is in charge of the Peace Inn, and that the city lord of Huangsha City stands behind the Peace Inn.

However, the grudges between her and the city lord of Huangsha City are not so easy to explain.

Of course, in her opinion, Lu Xuan didn't seem to care much about the grudges and affections involved.

After receiving Xia Yan's affirmation, Lu Xuan fell into deep thought, seemingly considering the feasibility of the matter and its gains and losses.

What will happen if we accept this order?

After all, it was an eighth-grade spiritual herb, and Lu Xuan didn't want to give up so easily.

For Lu Xuan, killing a stranger for the sake of this medicinal herb was not a difficult task.

There are no so-called psychological barriers.

Moreover, how could someone who could become the lord of this Yellow Sand City be a kind person?

This person must have had countless lives on their hands.

Do you know what level his cultivation has reached?

Lu Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"He's reached the fourth rank of perfection; he's already attempted to break through to the fifth rank once, but failed!"

"However, he possesses a flawed Heaven-rank martial art."

Xia Yan quickly told Lu Xuan the information she had learned.

Such information is also top secret.

He failed to break through to the fifth rank.

A flawed Heaven-rank martial art.

Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.

This is great news!

Besides the eighth-grade spiritual medicine, the incomplete Heaven-rank martial arts technique made it all worthwhile for him.

Not to mention, after killing this city lord, that guy probably has quite a few good things in his hands.

"Alright, I'll take this order."

Lu Xuan nodded and said.

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment when she heard Lu Xuan agree.

She suddenly looked up at Lu Xuan.

"Senior...you...you're telling the truth!?"

Xia Yan simply couldn't believe it.

After all, she was just trying anything as a last resort, thinking that Lu Xuan must have some strength to deal with these two gangs, and perhaps he really did have a way to defeat them.

So I asked out of curiosity.

"However, I have one condition."

"I can't do it on his territory. If you want me to kill him, then bring him here."

Lu Xuan said.

Caution is the boat.

Even the Flying Sand Arena is set up with formations, so the city lord of Yellow Sand City must also have formations in his possession.

If Lu Xuan were to fall headfirst into the opponent's formation, it would be extremely dangerous for him.

Everyone's strength was roughly the same to begin with.

If Lu Xuan is restrained by the formation, the situation will be very unfavorable.

"no problem……"

"In fact, you've caused such a commotion down there... After the two major gangs have fought, they will definitely hold peace talks. They will come to the inn to find you, and the city lord will probably show up too."

"Unless you leave now and fly far away."

Xia Yan said.

She found it strange herself.

Lu Xuan had already saved people, so why didn't he just leave?

"In that case, what a coincidence!"

"Let's wait for him to show up."

"However, I need to accept the eighth-grade spiritual medicine first."
