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

Lu Xuan and the others have not yet returned to Jinyuan City.

News has already come back from Zhang Family Pharmacy that the Tianlong Gang members have left.

All the golden thread grasses were intact and undamaged.

These golden thread grasses were all to be collected and sent to the county town.

Therefore, when the official in charge of Xiping County issued the order, he did not have anyone destroy all the golden thread grass.

Ultimately, everything has to be sorted out.

The person in charge of Xiping County will also arrange for others to handle this matter. As long as they pretend to negotiate with the Tianlong Gang and get the items back, they can prove Xu Jing's incompetence and also allow their subordinates to gain merit.

This is the best arrangement.

Doing something well is not easy; you have to use your brain a lot first.

However, even the head of the pharmacy in Xiping County probably didn't expect this.

Xu Jing was actually able to invite a master like Lu Xuan, and then easily and pleasantly resolved the matter.

At least in Xu Jing's and Wen Lan's view, the process of resolving the issue was relatively easy.

I didn't feel any pressure.

Xu Jing returned to the pharmacy.

His subordinates also came to report.

When she learned that everything was back to normal at the medicine shop, Xu Jing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

That's actually good news.

Of course, all of this is thanks to Lu Xuan.

"If the master hadn't intervened this time, we would have been in big trouble."

Xu Jing said, feeling a sense of relief.

If Lu Xuan hadn't returned in time, resolving today's situation would have likely come at a considerable cost.

Even in the end, when the matter was resolved, Xu Jing had suffered a complete defeat.

"It's alright, this matter is not yet resolved. The person who was really behind this hasn't been killed yet."

Lu Xuan said, still thinking about Xu Wangshan, the second-in-command of the Xu family.

The main problem is that we're too far apart. Once I have some free time, I'll definitely go and kill him.

Or he could wait for the kid to come to him on his own. Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of opportunities to deal with him.

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Xu Jing felt a strong sense of security.

After all, when Lu Xuan was thinking about how to solve a problem, he always aimed for the most thorough solution, rather than giving up halfway.

Who wouldn't like a man who eliminates future troubles?

Wen Lan went to the pharmacy and retrieved all the medicinal herbs that Lu Xuan needed.

These are also the medicinal materials used to refine the Void Awakening Pill.

The spirit stones that the Tianlong Gang gave us before can be considered as payment for these medicinal herbs.

As for the cost of these medicinal herbs, Lu Xuan had previously paid eight million taels of silver, and it's estimated that they won't be able to use them up so quickly.

"And then... I'll have to trouble you next, sir. I've sold almost all of the pills you gave me last time."

Xu Jing said with a smile.

Lu Xuan is the living signboard of Gu Yun Pharmacy.

After the death of Master Beiling, Lu Xuan became the only fourth-grade alchemist within a radius of several hundred miles, so the important task of alchemy naturally fell to Lu Xuan.

"Sure, after all, I promised you before."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

He did not refuse.

Xu Jing handed over a storage ring, which contained special medicinal herbs and prescriptions.

Moreover, the amount of medicinal herbs was always extra.

When refining pills myself, I can gain a deeper understanding of the essence of pill refining and some profound principles of pill refining. Only by immersing myself in it can I truly appreciate them.

Furthermore, these refined pills also aid in one's cultivation.

It's like Gu Yun Pharmacy is providing itself with medicinal herbs for free.

This is a win-win situation.

"Then I'll head out first. If you need anything, come find me at home."

Lu Xuan said.

The original purpose of this trip was to see Xu Jing and, incidentally, to help resolve some issues that I could.

Fortunately, this trip was the right one.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to catch up with the time when the Dragon Gang was all together.

It was late at night.

After returning home, Lu Xuan took a bath with the help of Liu Qingxue and Shen Yu, and then went straight into the training room.

He took out the medicine cauldron that he had snatched from the Northern Spirit True Man.

The medicine cauldron itself is of high quality.

With Lu Xuan's alchemy skills and the combined effect of the Spirit Ash Holy Flame, the speed at which pills were refined was also surprisingly fast.

Xu Jing didn't give her many tasks.

There are only three pills in total, and they are the most common type of fourth-grade pill: the Spirit Core Golden Pill!

The effect of the Spiritual Golden Pill is to refine the Yuan Gang power within a fourth-grade expert's body, enabling their Yuan Gang to break through and transform into Spiritual Gang power more quickly!

Therefore, it is called the Spiritual Golden Elixir.

In theory, as long as you have enough Spiritual Essence Golden Core to assist you, even if you are only at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, you may still be able to condense Spiritual Essence.

However, its power is weaker than that of a true fifth-grade expert's spiritual energy.

But it also surpasses ordinary Yuan Gang power.

Therefore, many fourth-rank experts who have no hope of breaking through will also exhaust their family fortune to buy Spirit Golden Pills.

One can enhance their strength by consuming the Spirit Golden Elixir.

Xu Jing's Guyun Pharmacy received an order for three Spirit Gang Golden Pills.

It's also my fault for not leaving Xu Jing some pills before.

Otherwise, it would be much easier for Xu Jing to handle these matters if she were to have control over these pills.

With Xu Jing's abilities, coupled with the aid of elixirs...

She would surely be able to recruit many fourth-rank experts to work for Xu Jing, and then she wouldn't have to be in such a sorry state.

Having a sword but not using it is different from having no sword at all.

As long as Xu Jing has some top-grade pills, some things will naturally be much easier to handle.

"This girl has no pills and few capable fighters around her. It's already quite impressive that she's managed to hold out until now."

"However, things will get better once Li Wei takes control of the situation at the Sword Sect."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

He not only wanted to improve his own strength, but also to build his own power base.

It's not about conquering the world, but about preserving oneself in this chaotic world.

Of course, the most important thing is to improve one's cultivation level.

Only he himself remained as the anchor of stability.

Xu Jing and the others would feel much more comfortable.

Xu Jing only needs three Spirit Golden Pills.

However, they sent him ten portions of medicinal herbs for the Spiritual Golden Pill.

This allowed Lu Xuan to fully display his skills.

With the blessing of the medicine cauldron and the sacred flame of spirit ash.

In just one night, Lu Xuan refined a total of six Spirit Gang Golden Pills.

It was late at night.

Lu Xuan then stopped, took a Spirit Golden Pill, and focused his mind on it.

He could feel the medicinal power of the Spirit Golden Elixir spreading throughout his body.

boom!

The power of the Spiritual Golden Elixir was released within his body at this moment.

At this moment, Lu Xuan also clearly felt that a large amount of Yuan Gang power within his body was rapidly surging and merging with the power of the pill to form Ling Gang power.

"It really does work."

Lu Xuan sensed the transformation of this spiritual energy.

For Lu Xuan, this also saved him a lot of time.

It seems that he has taken another step closer to the fifth-grade cultivation level.

"In terms of mental strength, it seems a bit lacking."

"Perfect timing, let's refine this Void Awakening Pill."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

The effect of the Void Awakening Pill is precisely that of a pill used to enhance mental power.

Although Lu Xuan has the attribute bonus of being born with divine will.

But for Lu Xuan, the speed was still too slow.

If I had obtained this item a decade or two earlier, my strength would be far greater than it is now.

Therefore, Lu Xuan also needs some medicinal pills to help him.

Xu Jing had also prepared all the ingredients for the Void Awakening Pill for him, and these ingredients were not cheap.

Having such a relationship certainly makes things much more convenient.

Many things don't require you to do them yourself.

If I were to search the entire world for these medicinal herbs, it would take who knows how long.

When Lu Xuan was refining the Void Awakening Pill.

Inside Xiping County, things were completely turned upside down.

First, there was the Guyun Pharmacy in Xiping County.

As the head of this county-level pharmacy, Xue Zhongfa often wielded considerable power.

This time, the second master of the Xu family spoke directly.

We must bring Xu Jing down.

Xue Zhongfa also made a slight move, causing Xu Jing a lot of trouble on several occasions.

Although Xu Jing seemed to have resolved the matter, she was actually already at her limit. With just a little more effort, she could completely collapse.

The golden thread grass from Zhang Family Pharmacy was the final blow Xue Zhong delivered to Xu Jing.

If this attack succeeds, it will completely remove Xu Jing from power. He won't even need to lift a finger; Xu Jing will resign on her own.

If he didn't resign, he would have the Golden Light Sect put pressure on him.

Everything was originally under control.

But suddenly things went wrong.

His subordinates came to report.

It is said that all the golden thread grass from Zhang Family Pharmacy has been delivered to Jinyuan City and purchased at the original price.

This enraged Xue Zhongfa.

"How could this be!"

Xue Zhongfa was furious.

He harbored resentment towards Xu Jing.

Because of what happened to Xu Dingyan, he also arranged for several elders to go there, but they were all killed.

Xue Zhongfa also wanted to avenge his men.

"What's wrong with the Tianlong Gang? What are these guys good for? They can't even handle such a small matter!"

When Xue Zhongfa heard the news, he slammed his hand on the table in anger.

It made a loud noise.

"That idiot Lei Tianlong!"

Xue Zhongfa cursed under his breath.

If you asked him to scold you to your face, he definitely wouldn't dare to do it.

After all, Lei Tianlong was a fourth-rank official, while he was only at the peak of the third rank.

"Master... in charge..."

"There's one more piece of news..."

The subordinate saw that Xue Zhongfa was so angry.

After waiting for a while until Xue Zhongfa had vented his anger, he stepped forward and continued speaking.

"What news? Tell me all at once!"

Xue Zhongfa glanced at the self-important brat.

"Yesterday was the 60th birthday banquet of the Tianlong Gang leader. At the banquet, Lei Tianlong and two other hall masters were killed."

"People at the scene said that it was an old man brought by Xu Jing who did it."

When Xue Zhongfa heard this news, his eyes widened immediately.

"What did you say?!"

"Lei Tianlong is dead!?"

When Xue Zhongfa heard the news, he felt a chill run down his spine.

He originally thought that Lei Tianlong was trying to extort more money, or that Xu Jing had given him more benefits, so he had settled things.

But no one expected that Lei Tianlong would be killed directly.

"The old man Xu Jing brought!?"

"What an amazing old man!"

Xue Zhongfa was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
