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

Hearing that Lu Xuan was willing to join.

Chu Xiao's eyes immediately lit up with surprise.

Lu Xuan was also aware that while it was convenient for him to go it alone, in that kind of place, he would definitely be targeted from all sides, not to mention the Mu family.

Dealing with this is by no means an easy task.

This time he clashed with the Huang family, and the Mu family will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly. Even if the Blood Mistress Cult behind him hasn't made a move, the Blood Mistress Cult will certainly not let it go, so we must be on guard.

"That's excellent!"

Chu Xiao quickly replied.

"However, I do have a request."

Lu Xuan realized that he was missing a sword technique, otherwise he would not be able to unleash the full power of his spiritual sword.

"Swordsmanship?"

Chu Xiao understood; Lu Xuan didn't lack swordsmanship, but rather good swordsmanship!

As it happens, Fengwu Hall is not only recruiting top experts from all over the world, but also collecting secret manuals. As the head of a branch of Fengwu Hall, he also has some power.

Although some sword techniques are highly confidential, they are not entirely forbidden from being passed on, provided that it is to someone you trust.

"It's quite a coincidence. I found a sword manual in Fengwu Hall that I was preparing to study, so I decided to give it to Master Lu."

"However, this sword manual is a collection of the Fengwu Hall, so Master Lu must not divulge it."

Chu Xiao said.

The sword manual that was taken out was actually a mid-grade Xuan-level sword technique.

Just this one sword technique alone, the manual alone would sell for thousands of taels of silver!

Chu Xiao gave it to Lu Xuan so easily.

Clearly, they are very sincere.

Lu Xuan reached out and took the sword manual from Chu Xiao.

"Thank you, Lord Chu. Rest assured, this sword technique will never be passed on to outsiders."

Lu Xuan didn't stand on ceremony.

This is something that can save my life.

When it comes to life and death, that's a big deal.

"Master Lu, you don't need to call me 'Sir'. Just call me by my name, or Xiao'er or Xiao Chu."

Chu Xiao's delicate face also showed a hint of anticipation, clearly wanting to get closer to Lu Xuan. Always calling him "Master" sounded a bit distant.

"Hehe, then I'll call you Xiao Chu from now on."

Lu Xuan chuckled softly.

Perhaps it was the several times he was rescued from danger that caused Chu Xiao to develop different feelings for him.

If there's really something going on, then Lu Xuan wouldn't mind taking her in.

After all, Lu Xuan had seen Chu Xiao's beautiful legs and her perfect abs.

And it must be said that Chu Xiao's influence is absolutely significant.

They were even significantly older than Liu Qingxue and the others.

After chatting for a while, Chu Xiao took his leave.

After Chu Xiao left, Lu Xuan opened the sword manual in his hand.

Wind-Slaying Sword.

There are three levels to mastering this sword technique.

The first layer of sword energy is like the wind, coming from all directions, making it impossible to defend against.

The second layer of sword energy cuts through the wind; the sword is faster than the wind, and the sword arrives before the sword energy does!

The third layer of sword energy blasts through the wind, leaving nothing hidden under heaven and earth; the wind can reach it, and the sword can reach it!

Ultimately, we still need to focus on the speed of the sword.

One needs to constantly improve their sword speed.

Only in this way can the power of the Wind-Shattering Sword Technique be brought into play. Of course, the Wind-Shattering Sword Technique also has corresponding breathing methods and cultivation techniques, which can help Lu Xuan to get started and master this sword technique more quickly.

I'm getting old, and I can't sleep very well these days.

So he simply began learning the sword technique in the courtyard.

The sword energy flowed, and it seemed as if a gentle breeze was lingering and swirling around Lu Xuan.

The county government office.

In the study in the backyard, Yang Qinghou's face was ashen as he crushed the cup in his hand with a loud bang.

"You know how much money I've spent to train them, how much money I've spent!"

"And the spirit stones they carried—how much money and effort did I put into getting them!"

"You're telling me the person was killed and the spirit stones were dug up?!"

"Those spirit stones are worth more than your heads!"

When Yang Qinghou got angry, he overturned the table. He simply couldn't stand it anymore and had caused this mess.

They thought victory was assured, but they never expected to suffer such a humiliating defeat.

And I had to pretend nothing was wrong and go to meetings with everyone until now, when I finally dared to let my anger out.

Only now, late at night, do I dare to verify this information.

Can you imagine the level of terror one would feel if they could have been living a carefree life, but then woke up to the news that Chu Xiao was safe and sound?

After Yang Qinghou checked things with his advisor Cao Wenzhang, he was so angry that his blood and qi flowed backward.

"My lord, with Chu Xiao's strength, it's impossible for him to escape this predicament. In my opinion... someone must have secretly helped him."

Cao Wenzhang touched his mustache and said with great certainty.

"Furthermore, within the entire Wuling County, there aren't many people with such strength and who can achieve this level of skill..."

"Lin Haichao, the owner of Fenghai Martial Arts School, is one of them. This person... is highly suspicious!"

Lin Haichao, the master of Fenghai Martial Arts School!

When this person was mentioned, Yang Qinghou's eyes also showed a hint of solemnity.

Lin Haichao is not just the owner of Fenghai Martial Arts School; he is also a disciple of a martial arts sect. It is because of this background that he was able to open a martial arts school in Wuling County.

Not only Fenghai Martial Arts School, but also Tieshan Sect.

The forces behind the Iron Mountain Sect are even more powerful.

These martial arts schools are merely part of the sect's behind-the-scenes arrangements; the actual battles and clashes are far more complex than they appear on the surface.

"Lin Haichao, how dare you ruin my plans... Even if you have a sect background, you can't protect yourself!"

A sinister glint flashed in Yang Qinghou's eyes.

While Yang Qinghou was pondering this.

At this moment, Cao Wenzhang stepped forward and whispered in Yang Qinghou's ear.

"My lord, there's no need to act rashly. The exploration of the blessed land in Jinyuan City is about to begin. We'll have ample opportunity to make our move inside. Wouldn't that be a clean and simple affair?"

Upon hearing Cao Wenzhang's words, Yang Qinghou's eyes lit up.

It was indeed a good opportunity, but he was clearly blinded by anger and had forgotten even that.

Making a move in that blessed land would be the easiest thing to do; as long as you sit in seclusion, there would be absolutely no consequences.

Every year, countless people disappear without a trace in this blessed land.

"Although it is indeed convenient to take action within that blessed land, Lin Haichao's cultivation is not weak... Go and make arrangements with the Iron Mountain Martial Arts School for me. Also, go and find the Seven Fiends of the Sky Eagle. This time, we must do things well, otherwise we will not be able to explain to our superiors."

Yang Qinghou's anger subsided somewhat, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Some arrangements and considerations have already begun to be made.

"clear!"

Cao Wenzhang responded.

Yang Qinghou rubbed his temples. Although Chu Xiao's Fengwu Hall was causing quite a stir, it didn't have a significant impact on him.

Originally, Yang Qinghou wanted to deal with Chu Xiao first, to gain more merit for himself, and to clear some obstacles for the person behind him.

If it were just him, how could he possibly do something like this, becoming so powerful and controlling in Wuling County?

Do you really think he alone can pocket so much dirty money in Wuling County?

"By the way, did you kill that old man from before, what was his name?"

Yang Qinghou suddenly had an idea.

In the last time Chu Xiao was in a hopeless situation, Lu Xuan was by his side.

Chu Xiao should have been dead, but he stubbornly survived, which made Yang Qinghou suspicious of Lu Xuan.

If you, Lu Xuan, have any problems, then you should just kill him.

If Lu Xuan is innocent, then he should be killed even more. It's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go.

"Um... I'll check."

"Just as they were about to take action, trouble broke out within the East Snake Gang..."

Cao Wenzhang quickly replied.

The situation at the time was quite complicated.

Even Jia Zhongyuan is dead. They were busy for a while, not to mention now, the East Snake Gang is in even more trouble. The main branch was wiped out, leaving only two branches. They ran away and started their own businesses, and they still don't dare to raise the East Snake Gang's banner.

The final result was that it was swallowed up by other gangs.

"Investigate thoroughly. This is a small matter, and it must be resolved as quickly as possible. We absolutely cannot let it escalate into a major issue or become complicated."

Yang Qinghou said.

"Yes."

Cao Wenzhang nodded in agreement, then bowed and withdrew.

Yang Qinghou, on the other hand, continued to lie in his chair.

He was planning in his mind the famous exploration of the blessed land seven days later.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Lu Xuan was practicing his sword in the courtyard.

Suddenly.

A message came from the incense tree and flooded into Lu Xuan's mind.

【Incense and Spiritual Leaves: First month of pregnancy, lifespan extended, cleansing tendons and marrow】

Lifespan extended.

Cleanse the tendons and marrow!

A look of horror flashed in Lu Xuan's eyes.

At the same time, a thought arises.

On Shen Yue's incense spirit sprout, a second incense spirit leaf was born!

This means that the fetus in Shen Yue's womb has been growing for a month.

"If ten or eight of these come, they might give me some feedback every few days!"

Lu Xuan was extremely excited.

Indeed, getting a wife is the most important thing.

However, due to various factors, he was busy with battles during this period, which delayed his marriage, which is a heinous crime.

Putting everything else aside, the spiritual energy fed back from the incense and spirit sprouts every day gave Lu Xuan the feeling of refining spirit stones every day, which was extremely exhilarating.

Let's set aside other factors for now.

Enjoy the improvement you're experiencing right now.

Extend your lifespan!

Lu Xuan could feel that his physical constitution had become younger.

Lifespan is extended along with the effect of improved physical constitution.

It doesn't mean that after lifespan is increased, one's physical constitution will change from seventy years old to one or two years old.

Instead, it continuously improves, returning to a state of innate origin.

If enough is accumulated, one can transform into an innate body.

This is an effect that no amount of elixirs can restore.

Then there's the process of cleansing the tendons and marrow.

Lu Xuan was sitting cross-legged at this moment.

He allowed the countless spiritual energies from the incense leaves to continuously flow into his body, permeating every crevice and corner.

"This 'cleansing the tendons and marrow' technique is a thousand times, ten thousand times more powerful than any medicinal powder I concoct!"

At this moment, Lu Xuan also felt the difference in power levels.

In that moment when the energy of the incense and spiritual leaves cleanses and rejuvenates me, I am cleansed and transformed.

With each breath, Lu Xuan felt an overwhelming surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

At this moment, even Lu Xuan's own martial arts cultivation was rapidly improving.

boom!

a moment.

The physical limits have been broken.

Lu Xuan's physical strength is comparable to that of a second-grade cultivator!

At this moment, the true energy within his body also stepped into the middle stage of the second rank!
