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

Lu Xuan and Xu Jing did not go back immediately.

Instead, they first stopped at a random garden within the Qinghe Sword Sect.

After all, Lu Xuan also needed to ensure that no experts would come to assassinate Li Wei or anything like that near the Qinghe Sword Sect.

This matter was originally related to the Prince of Xiping.

If the Prince of Xiping were more cunning and made sufficient preparations, he might very well send someone to deal with Li Wei.

This was to ensure that the Qinghe Sword Sect would fall into his hands.

"Master is really impressive today."

Xu Jing looked at Lu Xuan, her eyes filled with joy and admiration.

Clearly, both Jin Guangmen and Yang Kai had made ample preparations, intending to use this method to bring Li Wei down, and had even arranged for many martial arts masters to join them.

However, all of these things were useless.

Once Lu Xuan makes his move, he will kill you, Yang Kai, first. No matter how many schemes you have, they will be useless.

What good are all your previous plans?

It wasn't like a single slap that immediately revealed its true form.

Lu Xuan made his move without hesitation.

These people, killing them is no big deal.

This is the attitude that a strong person should have.

Therefore, given Lu Xuan's cultivation level, no matter how many schemes you have, they will be of no use.

Of course, even those with powerful cultivation levels are still hesitant and timid in their actions, afraid to go to extremes and always leaving a way out.

But Lu Xuan had none of these concerns.

Lu Xuan was clearly quite confident in his cultivation level.

"What's so strange about this... But I am curious, why does the Prince of Xiping go to so much trouble to control these sects?"

Lu Xuan looked at Xu Jing with suspicion, wanting to see what Xu Jing thought about this.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing smiled slightly.

"Does Your Excellency know how many disciples the Qinghe Sword Sect has?"

"I don't know, but there must be at least a few hundred or a thousand people, right?"

Lu Xuan wasn't very clear about this matter, nor did he know its scale.

"As a third-tier power, the Qinghe Sword Sect can have up to six thousand disciples!"

Six thousand people!?

Lu Xuan was also surprised when he heard the number.

After all, he didn't have much of a concept of these numbers before this.

Listening to it now, it actually sounds quite interesting.

"This really is the number of people within the sect. If we include those who have left Qinghe Sword Sect over the years and been dispatched elsewhere, those who are not on the official disciple list, just the people that Qinghe Sword Sect can mobilize, there are easily more than 10,000 people."

"This is a very strong force."

"That's why the imperial court divided the territory among the major martial arts sects, allowing them to develop independently while also maintaining checks and balances on each other."

"If all these martial arts sects and forces were to gather together, they would form a very terrifying energy that is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface."

Xu Jing said.

Because she was in charge of the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy, she knew very well how terrifying the quantity of medicinal herbs used by these sects was. Therefore, most sects had their own medicinal gardens and mountains. If they relied solely on buying from outside, it would cost an unknown amount of money.

The sheer number of disciples consumed is terrifying.

Even with such a large number of members, only a handful of fourth-rank experts have emerged, which is enough to show how valuable a fourth-rank expert is.

"Another very important point is that every martial arts sect has the right to develop a mineral vein."

"A third-tier martial arts force can develop and control one mineral vein, while a second-tier martial arts force can develop three mineral veins."

"A first-class martial arts force can develop six mineral veins."

"Furthermore, the taxes levied on the development of these mineral veins are very light. However, some special ores must be traded through specific institutions."

"I suspect that the Prince of Xiping has some requirements regarding the quota for this mine."

Xu Jing said that, of course, she was just guessing.

Nobody knows the specifics.

"It's quite complicated."

"But the mining business is basically a sure thing, isn't it?"

Lu Xuan said.

The mineral veins in this land are naturally extremely rich in resources; the difference lies in whether you earn a little more or a little less.

We won't be in debt.

Unless some unexpected situation occurs.

The Prince of Xiping has seized both people and land.

This guy got all the benefits.

However, the idea that a sect could develop a mine did pique Lu Xuan's interest.

If it could be developed, it might become a family business that could be passed down through generations.

Lu Xuan could establish a small sect, without recruiting disciples, and focus solely on developing mineral veins.

Then the income would be quite considerable.

Of course, without enough manpower, it's not certain that the mine can be protected.

They might not be able to mine your vein, but they can take a little bit of the ore you dig out every day, or come and steal it at certain times, harassing you every day, which will annoy you to no end.

However, this is something worth thinking about carefully.

"If the Qinghe Sword Sect can have six thousand disciples, what about the Golden Light Sect?"

Lu Xuan asked.

"The Golden Light Sect is a second-tier martial arts force, and it can recruit 15,000 registered disciples."

"With the addition of some disciples who have already been registered, the number can reach at least 30,000."

The Golden Light Sect has existed for so long, recruiting disciples every year and then releasing many more. Mobilizing 30,000 people is no problem at all.

"So many..."

Lu Xuan shook his head helplessly.

It's all the fault of the Prince of Xiping and Xiong Wei.

If a fight breaks out, who knows how many people will be killed.

Lu Xuan isn't a serial killer.

Lu Xuan and Xu Jing were also chatting here.

Although a series of bloody events occurred during the sect leader challenge, it did not affect Li Wei's subsequent succession ceremony.

The Qinghe Sword Sect also prepared a banquet, but many people left directly after eating and went to Jinyuan City.

After all, it's a good thing that Li Wei has taken office as the new sect leader.

It is what everyone expects.

But what they will face next is the wrath of the Golden Light Sect.

Of course, this anger would have to pass through one place before it spread to the Qinghe Sword Sect.

That is the Lu family of Jinyuan City.

At that time, Lu Xuan revealed his name.

Everyone present heard it.

Many forces affiliated with the Golden Light Sect naturally wanted to inform the sect of this news as soon as possible.

Whether it was Xiong Wei's death or the matter of the flying fire gun, each one was extremely important.

The Golden Light Sect will certainly not let this matter rest.

So, there might be a good show to watch in the direction of Jinyuan City.

Li Wei also took some time to meet with Lu Xuan and Xu Jing.

"You're responsible for handling matters within the sect yourself."

"Leave everything outside to me with confidence."

Lu Xuan said to Li Wei.

Li Wei nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, sir."

"Sister Wei'er, come stay at Jinyuan City for a couple of days when you have time. We sisters can have a good chat then."

Xu Jing said with a smile.

Li Wei, for some unknown reason, blushed and nodded.

"Yes, sister."
