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

Yang Qinghou walked in through the door.

The guards of Fengwu Hall did not stop them.

At this moment, Yang Qinghou's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, calmly staring at Lu Xuan in front of him.

The last time I saw Lu Xuan was at the dock.

No flaws were detected.

He only thought of Lu Xuan as an ordinary old stableman, humble, greedy for life, and afraid of death.

Now, seeing Lu Xuan before me again.

Her temperament is now completely different from before.

Lu Xuan slowly straightened up and looked at Yang Qinghou, his expression calm and without the slightest panic.

Why is he panicking?

If he hasn't broken the law, your position as county magistrate is useless to him.

In terms of strength, he could crush Yang Qinghou with a single hand.

Previously, I would have thought that Yang Qinghou was extremely strong.

There was even a sense of powerlessness that couldn't match it.

And now, all I can say is that it's nothing special.

"Hehe, isn't this Lao Lu?"

"What, you're unhappy with the work I assigned you, finding it too hard and tiring? You've come to Lord Chu seeking a different job?"

Yang Qinghou's smile was a mixture of kindness and ruthlessness.

"Magistrate Yang, you misunderstand. I only came to catch up with Lord Chu. As for the work you arranged, I am happy with it, but unfortunately, I am old and weak and unable to do it, so I have taken the initiative to resign."

Lu Xuan said.

He didn't say much about the matter of the granary gatekeeper before, but Yang Qinghou should know the ins and outs of it.

"It's alright, it's alright. If I could work under Lord Chu in Fengwu Hall, I would naturally have a bright future. But, Lao Lu, we're both getting on in years. With every step we take, we're one step closer to the end."

"Therefore, no matter what, we need to be careful with every step we take. If we take the wrong step, it will be a disaster."

Yang Qinghou's eyes were sinister, and his words were loaded with hidden meaning.

How could Lu Xuan not understand such a subtle hint?

"Your Excellency has gone to great lengths, but I am old and can afford to make mistakes. Your Excellency, on the other hand, is in the prime of your life and full of ambition. I wish Your Excellency a long and healthy life and a bright future."

Lu Xuan chuckled.

It even gave Yang Qinghou a boost.

This made Yang Qinghou feel quite uncomfortable.

Thinking to myself, who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that?

He's just a little older than me, yet he dares to act like an old man here.

However, Yang Qinghou did not say much in front of Chu Xiao, but chuckled twice and secretly made a note of the matter.

He still hasn't figured out who Lu Xuan is, or how he could get so close to Chu Xiao.

It's not wise to act rashly before we've thoroughly investigated the matter.

"Lord Chu, please continue your conversation. I shall take my leave now."

Lu Xuan bowed slightly.

"it is good."

Chu Xiao nodded as well.

Lu Xuan then strode away.

As Yang Qinghou watched Lu Xuan's departing figure, the smile in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a faint, cold glint.

"Lord Yang? What brings you here so late at night?"

Chu Xiao glanced at Yang Qinghou.

"Oh, it's nothing. It's just about the blessed land in Jinyuan City. The city lord's mansion in Jinyuan City wants us to discuss some details. Our Wuling County also needs to organize an exploration team to meet up with the team from Jinyuan City. We'd like to see what Lord Chu's thoughts are..."

"I have already reported the matter of the Blessed Land of Jinyuan City to my superiors, and Fengwu Hall will not be involved."

Chu Xiao said.

"Oh? Lord Chu isn't going in with our county team?"

"No need. The exploration of the blessed land is an opportunity for each county to increase revenue. Fengwu Hall will not participate in this matter, nor will it share the spoils."

The surprise and disappointment in Yang Qinghou's eyes were fleeting.

If you don't go, how am I supposed to kill you inside?

"However, I will be going there in a personal capacity. If we meet in the blessed land, it would be right to help each other out."

Chu Xiao added, looking at Yang Qinghou's disappointed appearance, he must be worried that if he didn't go, he wouldn't have a chance to make a move.

However, do you really think that I, Chu Xiao, at my age, sitting in this position, have nothing of my own?

She also dreamed of eliminating Yang Qinghou in this blessed land to avenge her past grievances!

Of course, if there is enough evidence to take down Yang Qinghou directly, that would be the best outcome.

However, Yang Qinghou's background is not simple, and dealing with him is not an easy task.

Lu Xuan did not linger and returned home.

He would cultivate with the women at night, which improved their physical condition.

At the same time, Lu Xuan also told Jiang Qin.

The Xu family's matter has been resolved, so Jiang Qin can return to the Treasure Pavilion at any time to open the door.

Lu Xuan also thought that this transaction certificate from Jiang Qin's Treasure Pavilion would be a very valuable thing in the future.

The internal strife in the Xuanwu Dynasty has now been initially quelled.

Mining technology is also better than before.

Some spirit ores and the like were also unearthed.

Therefore, if the Treasure Pavilion is successfully operated, acquiring these spirit stones in the future will be a very profitable endeavor.

Regardless of who has now acquired the emerald spirit stone vein.

Once the minerals are mined, the other party will certainly not dare to resell them on a large scale. They will have to trade through places like Treasure Pavilion, which have mineral trading licenses.

For Lu Xuan, having a way to make a steady stream of money would also be very important.

For a family to have a long-term future, this kind of vision is essential.

"If anyone comes to the Treasure Pavilion to discuss mineral transactions, there's no rush to refuse them; they can come back and discuss it with me."

Lu Xuan said to Jiang Qin.

"I understand."

Jiang Qin lay in Lu Xuan's arms and spoke softly.

In the past, Treasure Pavilion had no background or martial arts masters, so it was easy for others to swallow it up, or even resort to some dark means.

But things are different now, with Lu Xuan backing him up.

Within the entire Wuling County, there are probably not many people who can rival Lu Xuan.

Of course, one's strength must be revealed little by little.

At the same time, it is also necessary to continue to improve one's own strength.

"We still don't have enough wives; we need more."

Now, there are only four spiritual buds on the incense tree.

The spiritual energy feedback each day is equivalent to only one and a half spirit stones, so I still need to keep working hard.

But for now, Lu Xuan was preparing to try refining pills first.

Early in the morning, I asked Shen Yu to run an errand for me and buy three sets of ingredients for the second-grade pill, True Profound Pill.

If I could refine the True Profound Pill myself.

Liu Qingxue and the other two were able to easily break through their cultivation levels and reach the first rank.

Just as Shen Yu went to buy medicinal herbs.

Lu Xuan then took out the fire-patterned stone that Jiang Qin had given him earlier.

"Refining Fire Pattern Stones allows one to infuse a trace of fire attribute into one's true energy, making alchemy easier. However, to transform one's true energy into true fire, a large amount of Fire Pattern Stones is not enough; one also needs some more powerful fire attribute spirit stones."

Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry.

He took out the Firestone and absorbed and refined it.

In addition to the enhancement of true qi attribute.

It can also make Lu Xuan's true qi cultivation stronger.

He circulated the Heavenly Transcending Technique within his body, absorbing all the power within the Fire Pattern Stone.

The spiritual energy flowing through the meridians now exuded a fiery heat.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan himself was highly skilled in cultivation.

Now, the true energy within the body is gradually showing a tendency to transform into a powerful, dense energy.

Once the true qi has solidified to a certain degree, it can be transformed into true qi.

At that time, one could easily break through true qi with the help of qi, without breaking a sweat. Those below the third rank were all ants.

As for your idea of ​​using numbers to exhaust the qi of a third-rank martial artist, you're dreaming.

Once you unleash your inner energy, even the combined true energy of ten second-rank martial artists will be unable to break through your inferior inner energy. In the midst of the chaotic formation, taking your head will be as easy as taking candy from a baby.

It absorbed the power of the Firestone.

Lu Xuan's internal energy has also increased significantly.

After Shen Yu brought back the ingredients for the True Profound Pill, Lu Xuan studied the medicine cauldron in his hand in the training room.

This medicine cauldron was obtained from the eldest son of the Xu family.

The quality looks pretty good.

Lu Xuan possesses extraordinary comprehension, and with the help of the notes from Master Yunhe, alchemy, which seems incredibly difficult and complicated to outsiders, is now a challenge.

But for Lu Xuan, it was a natural progression.

After studying the prescription twice from beginning to end.

Lu Xuan already had a general idea in his mind.

Then they began the refining process.

Gu Yun Pharmacy.

After receiving the bottle of Tiger Essence Powder from Lu Xuan last night, Xu Jing immediately sent it to the appraisal department of Gu Yun Pharmacy.

Just now, the appraisal department gave its results, and even the chief appraiser of the appraisal department, Elder Liang, rushed to Xu Jing with Tiger Essence Powder.

"Master...who prepared this medicinal powder?"

"The effects of this medicinal powder far surpass all other second-grade medicinal powders in our Ancient Cloud Pharmacy, giving it a clear lead!"

"If this medicine falls into the hands of others, my Gu Yun Pharmacy will be in grave danger!"

Old Liang looked excited.

If he could obtain the formula for this medicinal powder, Gu Yun Pharmacy would be able to gain a more renowned reputation based on it, and even secure a place in Jinyuan City.

"What? This medicine is that potent?"

Xu Jing hadn't expected this either.

The medicine powder that Lu Xuan casually gave out had such a powerful effect that even Elder Liang was so excited.

"Currently, none of the five second-grade medicinal powders in our Guyun Pharmacy are as effective as this medicinal powder!"

"This medicinal powder is definitely a high-grade second-rank medicine, a top-quality product among top-quality products!"

"Sir, no matter what method we use, I, Lao Liang, suggest that we must seize this medicine powder and absolutely prevent it from flowing into other pharmacies."

"Old Liang said in a strong voice."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing immediately nodded with a solemn expression, while her mind was racing with thoughts.

No matter what method you use?

Lu Xuan seemed to lack nothing—no money, no cultivation techniques, nothing at all…

But thinking about it carefully, Lu Xuan is quite old, but the ladies in his mansion are quite young. Could it be... that they are all women?
