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

Looking for a prescription!?

Xu Jing's initial slight wariness gradually subsided.

She thought it was something serious.

They were only going to find recipes for second-grade elixirs.

However, even a second-grade pill is extraordinary.

The price of a typical second-grade pill is at least three to five thousand taels of silver.

Because second-grade pills can greatly enhance and help first-grade martial artists.

Often, a single second-grade pill can easily replace a year or two of arduous cultivation.

In that case, anyone would be willing to spend money to buy time.

After all, time is the most precious thing for wealthy people.

Xu Jing never expected that Lu Xuan's request would be to help him find a pill formula.

Could it be that Lu Xuan is also an alchemist?

"Second-grade pill formulas are actually publicly available resources within the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy. Any alchemist who wishes to consult them can go directly there. The Ancient Cloud Pharmacy contains over twenty second-grade pill formulas."

"If Mr. Lu is just doing some research, I do carry two volumes with me."

"The first scroll contains the True Profound Pill, a second-grade pill that can be used to enhance one's true qi cultivation."

"One scroll contains the Azure Water Pill, which is mainly used for healing injuries."

After a moment's thought, Xu Jing took out two scrolls of pill formulas from her storage ring and placed them on the table.

Although Xu Jing said that alchemists could consult the second-grade prescriptions of Gu Yun Pharmacy, there must be many conditions involved. At the very least, one must be able to purchase them at Gu Yun Pharmacy with a certain level of purchasing power.

Xu Jing's generous offer was also intended to win over Lu Xuan.

"True Profound Pill... Azure Water Pill..."

Lu Xuan flipped through it and nodded with great satisfaction.

Although the Yunhe Alchemist's lineage contains some pill formulas, none of them are low-level ones.

Therefore, Lu Xuan had no way to begin refining it.

It is estimated that in Master Yunhe's eyes, anyone who can inherit his legacy must be at least a third-grade or even fourth-grade alchemist.

Lu Xuan wanted to refine pills not only because pills could aid in cultivation, but also because he wanted to continue running a business.

It's true that we have money now, but we'll eventually run out of it, and the cultivation resources we need will only keep increasing.

Having a means to consistently make money, and also gaining a certain status and access to more resources, is what Lu Xuan wants.

"I won't take these two volumes of alchemical formulas for nothing."

"This is a medicinal powder I prepared. It has a good effect on martial artists below the second rank."

"You can have it appraised. If it's suitable, you can come back to me for further cooperation. The price is negotiable."

Lu Xuan took out a medicine bottle.

The medicine bottle contained Tiger Essence Powder, which Lu Xuan had prepared using the leftover scraps.

It can be called a beggar's version of Tiger Essence Powder.

Although Lu Xuan reduced the medicinal effects, it was still considered a top-tier medicinal powder in Wuling County.

It can be considered a top-grade second-class product.

"Medicinal powder!?"

When Xu Jing saw Lu Xuan take out the medicine powder, she was overjoyed.

She knew that Lu Xuan was an alchemist.

Generally speaking, alchemists also have their own unique secret formulas. Sometimes, when a secret formula appears, the effect of the medicine can bring different physical stimulation to the martial artist, and in this way, the cultivation level can be increased.

Lu Xuan wants to cooperate with their Gu Yun Pharmacy, which is a good thing.

"Thank you for your trust, Master Lu. I will have this medicine powder appraised by the most professional master in the pharmacy. As for the price, our Guyun Pharmacy will definitely satisfy you, Master Lu."

Xu Jing said.

Having successfully brought Lu Xuan back to the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy, she had already achieved her goal for this trip.

If Lu Xuan were to seek cooperation with other pharmaceutical companies...

One or two is fine, but over time, when the number increases, it becomes a problem.

Gu Yun Pharmacy will also fall from grace and be swallowed up by other businesses.

Unfortunately, what Lu Xuan took out was not a pill.

If Gu Yun Pharmacy could have a second-grade alchemist in charge, its position would be even more secure.

Only by achieving better results will she, as the head of the Wuling County branch, have the opportunity to be transferred to the prefectural city.

Who doesn't want to achieve a brighter future?

After the transaction was completed, Xu Jing did not stay long.

After Xu Jing left.

Lu Xuan also personally went to Fengwu Hall.

Speaking of which, this Fengwu Hall has been established for so long, yet Lu Xuan has never been here before.

He was just a little short of becoming an instructor in the Fengwu Hall before, but if Lu Xuan is willing, he can do it now.

"Who goes there! This is the Fengwu Hall, a restricted area; unauthorized personnel are not permitted!"

At the entrance of Fengwu Hall, two young guards stood with long swords at their waists and cold expressions.

If it weren't for these guards stationed here, countless people would come to Fengwu Hall every day trying to curry favor.

"My lords, please inform Lord Chu that Lu Xuan has important business to discuss with him."

"Lord Chu is busy with official duties; how can you expect to see him whenever you want?! Get out of here."

One of the guards even mocked him with a disdainful look.

Even though they spend all their time guarding the gate here, they've only seen Lord Chu Xiao a few times.

I've heard that Lord Chu is also an exceptionally beautiful woman; if I have the chance, I'd like to meet her.

As for this old geezer in front of us, we might as well just kick him out.

Seeing that Lu Xuan had no intention of leaving, one of the guards frowned and was about to order him to be driven away.

"You didn't hear me when I told you to leave, did you?"

And at that very moment.

Chu Xiao's voice came from the side, her tone filled with surprise.

"Mr. Lu, what brings you here? You're a rare guest."

When Chu Xiao saw Lu Xuan, she was also very surprised.

The two guards at the entrance were even more surprised.

You really know Lord Chu!

The branch manager of Fengwu Hall!

He was in charge of the Fengwu Hall in the entire Wuling County.

Fengwu Hall has now established itself and has a profound influence in Wuling County.

"We apologize, sir, we were blind to your abilities just now. Please come in!"

One of the guards immediately bowed to Lu Xuan.

The same was true for the other person.

Their reaction was quite quick.

After learning that Lu Xuan's identity was not simple, the two dared not offend him further.

"Hehe, it's alright."

Lu Xuan waved his hand, not bothering to argue with the two.

This kind of condescending behavior will never disappear and will exist in any place.

Chu Xiao was originally planning to go out, but she happened to run into Lu Xuan and led him inside as well.

"This Fengwu Hall is really impressive. This courtyard alone could easily accommodate a hundred people to practice martial arts."

Lu Xuan sighed.

"If you are interested, Mr. Lu, a teaching position will be reserved for you at any time."

Chu Xiao chuckled and, with his long legs, led Lu Xuan into the reception room.

However, it was a side hall.

There is a faint fragrance here, and the decor is very elegant.

This should be Chu Xiao's private meeting place.

Only those who are extremely close and trusted are allowed to enter this place.

Clearly, in Chu Xiao's view, Lu Xuan was someone worthy of trust.

"I'm just an old man, how could I possibly do anything like this? I'm so grateful for Lord Chu's kindness."

Lu Xuan chuckled.

"Didn't I say that you can just call me Xiao Chu, Mr. Lu? Calling me 'adult' sounds too formal."

Chu Xiao rolled her eyes and poured Lu Xuan a cup of tea.

If outsiders were to witness this scene, how shocking it would be!

Despite his young age, Chu Xiao became the head of Fengwu Hall and consolidated the situation with swift and decisive action.

This established its position within Wuling County.

It can be said that if Chu Xiao stomped his foot, Wuling County would tremble.

Such a powerful being actually personally pouring tea for an old man?

Lu Xuan didn't care about any of that.

"This is the account book that was found in the hands of the eldest son of the Xu family. It should be useful to Fengwu Hall."

As Lu Xuan spoke, he handed over the account book.

Chu Xiao heard this.

The eldest son of the Xu family?

She only learned this morning that Xu Zhantu, the eldest son of the Xu family, had died in the wild. Not only that, the entire Cuiling Mine had been looted.

It is clear that a more powerful force has entered the fray.

Fortunately, the place where the incident occurred was relatively far from Wuling County, so Chu Xiao didn't need to investigate the matter.

"Was Xu Zhantu's murder orchestrated by Elder Lu? And those people from the mining area...?"

"The mining area? I didn't handle the mining area matters, but it's the second reason I came to see you."

"After I dealt with Xu Zhantu last night, I encountered a hyena."

"This hyena's target is also the Xu family."

Lu Xuan said.

In just a few words, he revealed all the important information.

And there was nothing to hide from Chu Xiao.

The fact that the other party sent the Fengwu Order proves that Chu Xiao has absolute trust in him.

They must also know some things.

For Lu Xuan, having a friend in the officialdom was a very good thing.

In this chaotic world of martial arts, it's always better to have more friends than more enemies.

"A hyena!?"

"Is it a strange beast from the Kingdom of Night Cool?"

Upon hearing the information provided by Lu Xuan, Chu Xiao was utterly shocked.

Chu Xiao had already considered the matter of Xu Zhantu and concluded that it was most likely Lu Xuan's doing. However, upon hearing about the murder case in the mining area, she felt that it was not Lu Xuan's style.

In that case, it matches up.

"Well... I don't know the specifics either. That's all I know for now."

Lu Xuan nodded.

He doesn't need to worry about anything else.

The matter of the hyenas in the Night Cool Kingdom will naturally be handled by higher-ups.

All those taxes weren't paid in vain.

"This is very important news. Thank you for informing me, Elder Lu. And with this account book, Yang Qinghou won't be able to enjoy his carefree life for long."

Chu Xiao said.

"Alright, then I'll be off, old man."

"So soon... I'll take you there."

Chu Xiao said, but she also had many things to deal with, and now that this situation has arisen, the situation is even more serious.

Just as Chu Xiao was seeing Lu Xuan off.

Suddenly, a figure appeared at the main entrance of Fengwu Hall.

Lu Xuan paused, his gaze sharpening slightly.

At the same time, he bowed deeply, and his aged voice slowly rang out.

"This humble subject greets Your Excellency, the County Magistrate."
