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

[A spiritual sprout emerges, enhancing one's constitution and extending lifespan by ten years]

[Five blessings converge, receiving blessings from the Array Path]

On the messy little bed.

Lu Xuan closed his eyes slightly, sensing the spiritual energy that surged into his body when the spiritual sprout first appeared.

These spiritual energies are also rapidly transforming into their own vital energy.

Improve your physical constitution and extend your life by ten years!

These are all very significant benefits, but they are not immediately obvious.

It is something that permeates our lives, manifesting itself silently and imperceptibly.

However, Lu Xuan also clearly felt that his mental state had become more energetic.

This is clearly the effect rewarded by the incense tree.

As for the gathering of the five blessings, the array bestows blessings.

This stirred up a surge of emotions within Lu Xuan!

The so-called blessing of the array was instantaneous, as if all the knowledge and insights of an ancient array master regarding the array were poured into Lu Xuan's mind.

Lu Xuan also gained a large amount of knowledge about formations out of thin air.

The shackles that bound his mind with the array were quickly broken at this moment.

May the array bring you blessings!

That's incredibly fierce!

Lu Xuan estimated that the array knowledge he had just digested had already raised him to a level comparable to a fourth-grade array master.

Fourth-rank formation master!

This is even rarer than a fourth-rank martial artist.

Fourth-rank martial artists are basically the founders of martial arts sects, or at least the sect leaders.

A hint of relief also appeared on Xu Jing's tired face.

Fortunately, when I built this rest room, I made a special soundproofing design.

Otherwise, who knows how many people would have heard what happened just now.

I never expected that Lu Xuan would be so vigorous at his age.

No wonder the beautiful women in the family get along so well and never quarrel. With Lu Xuan's fighting prowess, how could there be so many problems?

"By the way, I'm currently living at Purple Lake Villa. Would you like to move in with me?"

Lu Xuan asked.

If you've accepted Xu Jing as your wife, you should at least bring her over.

"Can I not move in for now?"

"There are still many things to do at the pharmacy, and I haven't yet resolved the family issues."

"However, with you, a great alchemist, supporting me, none of those are problems."

Xu Jing said, a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Although moving in with Lu Xuan was the most basic thing, Xu Jing still wanted to get rid of that mess of things first.

Besides, Xu Jing also couldn't accept living with so many young and beautiful girls and serving Lu Xuan together.

Although she can be very wild and crazy, it will take her some time to accept being with everyone.

"Whatever you prefer."

"Come to me anytime if you need anything."

"However, I will be going to the blessed land in two days, and I will not be in the city during this time."

"Yes, thank you, sir."

Xu Jing quickly expressed her gratitude.

Then Xu Jing seemed to have thought of something.

He looked at Lu Xuan and said with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Master, this blessed land of Jinyuan City is a piece of fat meat, but it is also a battlefield fought over by various powerful families. The dangers within are immeasurable."

"Furthermore, I've heard some rumors that the Mu family of Jinyuan City has invited a martial arts master to accompany them. These martial arts masters often disregard the laws of the dynasty, so if you encounter them, it's best to leave as soon as possible."

"Besides the Mu family, there are also rumors that the government of Jinyuan City will get involved."

Xu Jing was unaware of Lu Xuan's cultivation level.

But now Lu Xuan is a third-grade alchemist, which means he has a noble status.

In Xu Jing's opinion, Lu Xuan had no need to compete with these people for resources. He could simply focus on refining pills and everything would be within his grasp.

However, that was Lu Xuan's own decision, and Xu Jing didn't say anything more.

Upon hearing Xu Jing's reminder, Lu Xuan immediately nodded.

We can ask Chu Xiao about the government later.

However, since Xu Jing is from Wuling County, it's quite remarkable that she was able to find out this information.

However, Lu Xuan already had a treasure map, so he only needed to follow the map when the time came.

The main reason for being with Chu Xiao was to be able to get closer to the Chu family's team.

In this way, at least for the journey ahead, they won't reveal too much of their strength.

Although Xu Jing may have come with a certain purpose, or this may just be a way for Xu Jing to fight against her own family, it doesn't matter to Lu Xuan.

He has gotten what he wanted, and all he can do is not mistreat her.

As for loving each and every one of them to the point of obsession, that's naturally impossible.

At this age, there are some things one shouldn't fantasize about.

We can make the most of the advantages of the incense tree.

It has branched out and spread its branches.

The true task for Lu Xuan is to create incense spirit buds, condense incense spirit leaves, and forge innate destiny fruits.

Without strength, everything you gain will be instantly reduced to its original state.

Strength comes first.

After resting for a while, Lu Xuan left with the 20,000 taels of silver from the sale of the Spirit Pill.

It was originally worth twenty spirit stones.

However, since Xu Jing is already one of his own, Lu Xuan doesn't need to dwell on this point; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Xu Jing felt fortunate that she did not feel too much pressure from Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan did not force her to do anything.

Even Xu Jing felt a little strange.

Could it be that Mr. Lu was simply attracted to her looks?

When she couldn't figure it out, Xu Jing simply stopped thinking about it.

Since Lu Xuan didn't force her to do anything, she could now focus on being the manager of Gu Yun Pharmacy.

Of course, regarding Lu Xuan's previous Tiger Essence Powder and Spirit Gang Pill matters, everything was handled officially without any back-door dealings, as this was Xu Jing's principle in doing things.

She can freeze things within her authority, but she will never touch anything outside of that authority.

"With the support of the master, a third-grade alchemist."

"It wouldn't be impossible for me to carve out an empire within the Xu family!"

Xu Jing's ambition suddenly grew even larger.

The gloom of the past has been swept away.

Now, Xu Jing also needs to formulate a new plan.

One's own destiny must never fall into the control of others.

She had already asked Lu Xuan about it.

Lu Xuan would not interfere with some of her choices, and would even offer his support.

This is what Xu Jing is most grateful for.

She was afraid that Lu Xuan would take her home and lock her up inside, turning her into a caged bird who bore children.

On his way back, Lu Xuan also took the time to visit the Treasure Pavilion.

Jiang Qin's Treasure Pavilion mainly caters to women's businesses.

Although there is currently a permit to trade precious spiritual stones, the store is too small and has no reputation. Occasionally, some people will sell some scattered items, mainly ornamental rare stones.

To put it bluntly, the Xu family was too greedy and narrow-minded, insisting on taking over the Treasure Pavilion for themselves.

However, these days, the Xu family's territory and businesses are simply not holding on.

The eldest and second eldest sons of the Xu family were killed one after another. Although there were still some young and old people left, none of them were capable of taking on important responsibilities. They were all only thinking about dividing up the property or seizing power. In the end, they were all swallowed up by other forces.

Some of them were swallowed up by the other small families in the city.

Another portion was eaten by the Bai family.

What's most intriguing is that the Bai family is clearly the largest family in the city.

However, the appetite they showed didn't seem that big; they only symbolically took over some territory.

The rest of the meat was given to other family forces.

Although it's unclear why the Bai family did this, giving up so much market share, it's ultimately a good thing. With the Xu and Huang families gone, other forces will soon rise to power again.

After staying at Jiang Qin's Treasure Pavilion for a while, Lu Xuan went back first.

After all, this place mainly sells women's items.

Once my cultivation level is higher, I can go out and promote myself, and do some high-end business selling spirit stones that can be used for cultivation.

Back at Zihu Villa.

Lu Xuan took out the array plate that he had previously retrieved from the bottom of the lake.

Previously, Lu Xuan was able to deduce the formations using the battle chart.

It was through its extraordinary understanding that it was able to eat it alive.

Now, however, Lu Xuan has a new idea about this array.

It seems that just by looking at it, one can see the broken array patterns on the array plate, and if they were to be repaired, they would create invisible threads.

Once all these threads are replaced, the array plate can be repaired.

"I wonder if spirit stones can make up for this piece."

Lu Xuan left eight spirit stones in his hand.

I chose to absorb the spirit stone before because I wanted to test its effects.

However, he now receives spiritual energy feedback from the incense tree, so he basically doesn't need to specifically absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones.

It would be better to save the spirit stones first.

After all, this thing is quite valuable.

"No, these spirit stones are too intact to be shaped..."

Lu Xuan gave it a try.

It is extremely difficult to completely restore the array patterns on the spirit stone.

At least with his current strength, he is not able to do it for the time being.

"Shaping...etc..."

Lu Xuan's eyes flickered.

A glint suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Since this spirit stone won't work.

Then the small yellow croaker should be fine.

Yellow croaker is actually a type of mineral, and it carries a certain amount of spiritual energy.

With a thought, several gold bars appeared in Lu Xuan's hand.

They didn't care about the weight anymore.

Lu Xuan first threw the gold bars into the medicine cauldron.

It was refined using internal energy.

It must be said that the refining power of this Qi is quite strong.

Even gold can be easily melted.

Lu Xuan threw the array plate in his hand into it as well.

Finally, some more gold was added.

Only then was the other half that was broken repaired.

Now all that's needed is to complete the array patterns on this golden array plate.

After completing the array pattern.

It can also produce results.

However, the downside is that it doesn't last long.

The energy within gold will be continuously consumed.

If the formation is activated, the gold will act like fuel, continuously burning away all the energy within it.

It is classified as a consumable item.

The original array plate was made using a special spiritual ore that possessed spiritual power.

Therefore, it is able to maintain its original state.

Lu Xuan took out the array plate covered with a layer of gold from the medicine cauldron.

"Although the energy is relatively weak, it can still sustain us for a while."

"This stuff really does consume a lot of gold."

If he hadn't already mastered the ability to refine third-grade pills and hadn't developed a strong capacity for making money, Lu Xuan wouldn't have dared to easily take out this gold.

After the formation was repaired.

Lu Xuan then realized that this was a third-grade formation.

"This formation combines defense and spirit gathering effects, making it a good thing for guarding the house."

Lu Xuan had a thought.

It draws upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, connecting it with the array plate in its hand.

In this one, it was as if the meridians had been opened.

The power of the formation immediately spread out.

It covers the entire area of ​​Zihu Mountain Villa.

Lu Xuan did not amplify the effect of gathering spirits, but used it more for defense.

Then they also brought Shen Yue over.

Now that Shen Yue has true energy, she can control this thing.

He taught Shen Yue how to use the array plate.

Lu Xuan also noticed that Shen Yue seemed to grasp the formation quite quickly.

"Huh? You seem to have some talent in formations."

"Really?"

Shen Yue's eyes lit up immediately.

"Hmm... When Master returns, I will teach you the formation in detail."

"Alright, sir, please be careful on your journey. We'll take care of things at home, so you don't need to worry."
