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

Lu Xuan's words of congratulations came at just the right time.

Ye Luoxin knew perfectly well that the reason Lu Xuan had sparred with her for so long and even gave her special guidance at the very end was to instruct her.

As expected of a senior expert, with just a few pointers, Ye Luoxin actually broke through.

Ye Luoxin was deeply shocked.

He quickly came to his senses, sheathed his sword, stood up, and bowed respectfully to Lu Xuan.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir."

Lu Xuan waved his hand.

"What kind of guidance is this? We're both here to improve together."

Although Lu Xuan said that, Ye Luoxin knew very well that Master Lu's comprehension of sword intent was probably superior to her own.

The reason why he has only now grasped the essence of swordsmanship is probably due to other reasons.

Or perhaps Lu Xuan was busy with other things before, after all, she also knew that Lu Xuan was an alchemist.

Lu Xuan patted Ye Luoxin on the shoulder, which greatly encouraged her.

Suddenly, Ye Luoxin seemed to think that practicing swordsmanship quietly in a place like Zihu Villa might not be so bad.

After his cultivation level broke through to the third rank.

Lu Xuan's speed in refining grade three pills has become even faster.

However, this batch of medicinal herbs can only produce one pill at present.

This was due to limitations imposed by the medicinal materials available, as well as Lu Xuan's own control over the situation.

If too many medicinal herbs are added at once, Lu Xuan will not be able to control it, and some unexpected situations may occur.

However, given more time, Lu Xuan will be able to master the Spirit Pill.

Lu Xuan refined two Spirit Qi Pills.

He then went to the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy alone.

In the past few days, Gu Yun Pharmacy has been so popular that the streets have been deserted.

The reason why Tiger Yuan Powder wasn't selling well wasn't because it couldn't be sold, but because Gu Yun Pharmacy used a scarcity marketing strategy.

Tiger Essence Powder is also available in limited quantities every day, so you have to queue up early to buy it.

Some people kept bribing the management of Guyun Pharmacy in order to get a chance to buy Tiger Essence Powder.

And most importantly.

It seems that Xu Jing has not yet submitted the prescription for Tiger Essence Powder to the main branch.

This led to people from surrounding counties, and even Jinyuan City, traveling great distances to buy the goods, filling all the inns around Wuling County to capacity.

This did start a trend.

Lu Xuan arrived at Gu Yun Pharmacy. Before he even entered, someone handed him a number tag.

"You are number 369, go to the back of the line."

"I'm not here to buy Tiger Essence Powder."

Lu Xuan looked at the person who had sent him the number and immediately began to explain.

"Not buying Tiger Essence Powder? Then what kind of medicinal herbs do you want to buy?"

"I've come to see your supervisor, Supervisor Xu Jing."

Lu Xuan said politely.

"Looking for our manager? Sir, do you know how many people here are here trying to pull strings to get in?"

"Alright, alright, get in line at the back."

"I know your supervisor very well, you can just inform him for me."

Lu Xuan insisted.

"Alright, old man, don't try to cheat people just because you're old. If you knew my boss well, you wouldn't even need to come here. You could just stand at the door and my deputy would lead you over..."

The man who handed Lu Xuan the number plate hadn't finished speaking.

Then I heard a sweet female voice coming from the side.

"But is it Master Lu? Our manager requests your presence."

The man turned around and saw that it was Xiao Li, the deputy in charge.

Xiao Li had a smile on her lips and a shallow dimple.

Upon hearing Xiaoli's words, the person handing out the number plates widened his eyes in surprise.

This seemingly thin old man is actually in charge of them!?

Moreover, the person in charge specially arranged for Xiao Li to wait here, which shows that this is no longer a simple acquaintance. Could it be that the old man in front of us is some hidden big shot?

"Sir... please come in..."

The man quickly stood up, made way for him, and said respectfully.

"Okay... here, take this back."

Lu Xuan returned the sign with the number on it to the other person.

The other party accepted it respectfully, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

Lu Xuan then followed Xiao Li up to the third floor of the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy.

The first and second floors are both pharmacies.

However, on the third floor, there are some private rooms specifically for VIPs to rest and conduct transactions. After all, some people come to make large-scale purchases, so a quieter environment is needed to separate them.

Lu Xuan wasn't invited to any lounge; instead, Xiao Li took him directly to Xu Jing's study.

Xu Jing usually handles matters here.

In her study, Xu Jing was checking the accounts from the past two days and approving some promotional plans for Gu Yun Pharmacy. She was also receiving many emails from the main branch, all waiting for her reply. Clearly, she had been quite busy these past few days.

In just a few days.

Gu Yun Pharmacy earned at least 100,000 taels of silver thanks to that Tiger Essence Powder.

It's not just the profits from selling Tiger Essence Powder, but also the other income generated by Tiger Essence Powder.

Xiao Li knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Xu Jing's voice came from inside the door.

After Xiaoli went inside, she spoke to Xu Jing.

"Master, Master Lu has arrived."

Master Lu!?

When Xu Jing heard that Lu Xuan had arrived, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face lit up with joy.

"Please come in quickly."

Xu Jing said that she also quickly put down everything and went to greet Lu Xuan.

Since sending Lu Xuan to Yunshan Inn a few days ago, Xu Jing has barely had time to visit him. When she learned that Lu Xuan had moved to a new place, she only hurriedly sent someone to deliver a generous gift.

Of course, most importantly, Xu Jing had been handling Lu Xuan's accounting matters for the past two days.

Otherwise, transferring those 200,000 taels of silver wouldn't have been such an easy task; Xu Jing had to handle it in the middle.

In the past two days, one of Lu Xuan's wives, Shen Yu, has also frequently gone to Qianyaotang to buy medicine, and Xu Jing has arranged everything directly for her.

"Mr. Lu, you've finally arrived, you busy man."

When Xu Jing saw Lu Xuan arrive with a radiant face, she immediately stepped forward with a smile and took his hand in hers.

Little Pear, who was standing nearby, was also extremely surprised when she saw this scene.

In all the time she had served as Xu Jing's deputy, she had never seen Director Xu show such enthusiasm to anyone.

Basically, everything is handled in an official, business-like manner.

I've never seen Xu Jing in charge smile so brightly before.

As Xiaoli, who was the deputy, she naturally knew that there were some things she should know and some things she shouldn't know.

He immediately brewed tea for the two of them.

Xiao Li then withdrew.

"Master Xu must be quite busy these days."

Lu Xuan chuckled.

"That's all thanks to Master's Tiger Essence Powder."

Xu Jing, however, was quite blunt.

She helped Lu Xuan sit down and leaned against him. She could feel a sweet fragrance emanating from Xu Jing. Today, Xu Jing was wearing a long dress with a blue porcelain pattern, which gave her a fresh and beautiful look. However, her voluptuous figure, especially in her leaning posture, accentuated her curves.

"Tiger Essence Powder is nothing more than an appetizer."

"Master Xu, here's what you wanted."

Lu Xuan did not pull or tug at Xu Jing.

His left hand directly embraced Xu Jing's slender and delicate waist.

There wasn't an ounce of excess fat on it.

Xu Jing tensed up instinctively, after all, she had never had such close contact with a man before.

However, after seeing the pills that Lu Xuan took out...

Xu Jing was completely drawn to the pills.

"This...this is..."

"Spirit Pill!?"

As the person in charge of Gu Yun Pharmacy, Xu Jing naturally had a great understanding of all kinds of elixirs.

Upon seeing the Spirit Pill, her pretty face was filled with shock.

Xu Jing looked at Lu Xuan with a surprised expression.

She knew Lu Xuan could refine it, but she didn't expect him to be able to do it so quickly.

The prescription for this medicine was only recently obtained.

Lu Xuan had already refined the pill.

Even with guidance from a renowned master, refining a third-grade pill on one's own is no easy task.

It was actually completed by Lu Xuan.

A third-grade elixir.

It is not only expensive, but also of great strategic importance.

A pharmacy that can sell third-grade pills will naturally have a higher level of trust and be more convincing to the people!

Even the prescriptions can be made more convincing.

Furthermore, the availability of third-grade pills is a threshold in itself. Only when you can offer third-grade pills for sale can you be considered to have truly reached a higher level.

A level where transactions are conducted using spirit stones.

Otherwise, some high-level martial artists wouldn't even look at your rubbish.

What Xu Jing lacked was precisely such an opportunity.

A third-grade alchemist who could support her from behind.

With Lu Xuan's support, her influence in the Ancient Cloud Pharmacy will only grow stronger.

The effects of Tiger Essence Powder alone are already very noticeable.

Several deacons even sent her messages, asking her to provide the secret formula for Tiger Essence Powder.

"Master, you've really succeeded!?"

Xu Jing's eyes widened as she confirmed that the pill in her hand was real, and her heart surged with excitement.

"The elixir is right in your hands."

Lu Xuan's hand slid down and pinched Xu Jing's ample breasts.

At this moment, Xu Jing understood Lu Xuan's meaning perfectly.

He immediately got up and carefully put away the pills.

They then took Lu Xuan to a small room next door.

"I usually rest here when I'm tired from work, don't misunderstand..."

Xu Jing was afraid that Lu Xuan would misunderstand and think that this kind of transaction happened frequently.

"I...this is my first time..."

Xu Jing said in a low voice.

Lu Xuan listened, and looked at Xu Jing with surprise in his eyes.

After all, Xu Jing is not young. At least in the Xuanwu Dynasty, she should be of marriageable age and have children. Yet she is still a virgin.

Jiang Qin maintained this diet because her husband died young, and she probably hadn't had the chance to eat it yet.

Xu Jing's words, however, were somewhat unbelievable.

However, this also gave Lu Xuan the feeling of having found a treasure.

It seemed that he could see the surprise and smugness in Lu Xuan's eyes.

Xu Jing also spoke softly.

"Actually, I'm just a pawn of the Xu family, and I've always wanted to break free from my own fate."

"If it weren't for one of my older sisters who has some status in the family, I'm afraid I would have been forcibly sent to the bed of some important person long ago."

"Rather than letting my family make the decision for me, I'd rather choose a powerful figure I like..."

"Sir...you won't dislike me, will you...?"

Xu Jing was indeed a little nervous when she said this.

After all, compared to them, Shen Yue and Shen Yu are indeed young and impetuous. If Lu Xuan doesn't like her type, then she is nothing in front of Lu Xuan.

"certainly……"

"Won't."

Lu Xuan raised his hand and waved it, and Xu Jing's clothes were peeled off like bamboo leaves.

She displayed her graceful and agile figure in full before Lu Xuan.
