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

A small island classified as medium-risk.

Chu Lingsheng and his group slowly approached the shore and set up camp there.

Night had already fallen.

The strange beasts in the water are very active, so naturally no one dares to cross the water at this time, and even those with strong cultivation dare not take the risk.

As long as the Ghost General Red Sparrow doesn't chase after them, the others are naturally no match for Chu Lingsheng's group.

After things calmed down, Xiao Yunshan inquired about the situation at the time.

Xiao Yunshan was also greatly surprised after hearing this.

"You mean, the other party is an old man wearing a mask, and he can even use your Chu family's swordsmanship? And his swordsmanship is even more profound than yours..."

"Yes, I'm curious too."

"Could it be your ancestor?"

Xiao Yunshan asked.

These words sound like an insult.

But Chu Lingsheng thought about it carefully.

In the end, he still shook his head.

"It shouldn't be... Our Chu family ancestors who haven't gone missing are basically all buried... unless they faked their death..."

Chu Lingsheng said.

The only possibility is that he faked his death.

But that sounds a bit far-fetched.

Why would the Chu family, who had no major enemies and were doing well, fake their death?

If it was a fake death, then it should be time for him to show himself by now.

After all, they're all on our side.

Of course, most importantly, there really was no such thing as the Chu family's ancestors disappearing.

"Never mind, since you've concealed your identity, it means you don't want us to speculate."

"The people of Yeliang Kingdom are taking such large-scale action this time, they must have something in mind. It seems they know more than we do."

Chu Lingsheng said, a hint of worry in his eyes.

As a senior figure, one naturally has more to think about.

Xiao Yunshan's brows furrowed slightly at this moment.

This matter is indeed not simple.

But who in the entire Jinyuan City could bring these people in so quietly?

At the same time, they are able to gather more intelligence than the city lord's mansion and the Chu family, and know things that they do not know!

This matter is naturally worthy of suspicion and conjecture.

The next moment, both sides realized which force was most likely behind this.

However, neither of them has said it out loud yet.

After all, there is currently no evidence.

All I can do is be more careful.

"Today is the third day."

"Four days left..."

"Let's take a gamble and try to restore our fighting strength within two days!"

Xiao Yunshan said in a deep voice.

Chu Lingsheng nodded in agreement; that was exactly what he meant.

They may not get what's inside, but just as they may not get it.

The operation must be disrupted.

"Keep a close eye on things these next couple of days."

"It would be best to find traces of the Mu family and the Qinghe Sword Sect."

Chu Lingsheng said to the Chu family members.

Xiao Yunshan told his subordinates the same thing.

In the entire Jinyuan City, who has such great ability?

If it's not the Chu family, then it must be the Mu family. And the Mu family has joined forces with the Qinghe Sword Sect, so this matter is naturally very delicate.

Don't assume that everyone in the imperial court is a fool.

Some things are clear at a glance, but there's no need to take action yet.

High-risk island.

Lu Xuan set up some traps around the area and also searched the cave where he was staying.

Another exit has been discovered.

Although the exit isn't very wide, in a critical situation, you can simply grab the bucket and run away without being blocked by someone.

Lu Xuan wasn't afraid of the others, but he was worried that the fourth-grade beast might suddenly appear, which would be troublesome.

Of course, given the size of that fourth-grade beast, it was impossible for it to remain silent.

It's perfectly normal to be on guard in everything.

After confirming everything around him, Lu Xuan sat down calmly.

Overall, I'm not as tired as I was yesterday today.

Yesterday was a real fight; I fought a third-grade exotic beast.

I tested my abilities.

I didn't use much strength today.

Don't look at the rest of the items in the storage bag for now.

Lu Xuan took out the Qiong Guo fruit from his hand.

"Huh? The spiritual energy of this jade fruit hasn't dissipated at all... Could it be because I placed it directly in the incense tree's space?"

Lu Xuan's eyes lit up.

These rare and precious herbs are fine as medicinal materials, but if they are spiritual fruits, their medicinal effects will be greatly reduced if they are not stored in time. Therefore, once obtained, they are usually sold as soon as possible, or a good container is found to store them.

However, when placed in this incense tree space, it was able to completely seal the spiritual energy without any leakage.

This surprised and delighted Lu Xuan.

To prevent things from getting complicated.

Lu Xuan grabbed the jujube in his hand and started eating it.

Click!

The skin has a slightly bitter taste, but this bitter juice is also the best thing for clearing the meridians and acupoints.

In no time, he swallowed the berry.

When the medicinal power of the spiritual fruit was released in Lu Xuan's body, he felt as if his soul was being immersed in an extremely warm environment. The power flowing in from all around made him feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.

The ultimate enjoyment brought by top-grade spiritual fruits.

You can even see that your physical condition has become significantly younger.

"She's probably around forty now..."

Lu Xuan looked at his palm.

As expected of a sixth-grade spiritual fruit!

This was only the most minor effect; Lu Xuan felt his lifeline being lengthened and the incense tree growing vigorously.

His own cultivation level also made great strides at this moment.

"Almost there!"

Lu Xuan sensed that he was just one last bit of energy away from breaking through to the high-level third rank.

He immediately pushed the Heavenly Crossing True Technique to its limit.

He absorbed the spiritual energy from the island continuously, channeling it into his body.

But it always fell just short.

Just as Lu Xuan was about to give up.

Suddenly.

Five streams of spiritual energy suddenly surged from the incense tree.

boom!

These five spiritual energies are like the raging winds that propel the flames.

In an instant, Lu Xuan's cultivation level rose to the high stage of the third rank.

"We've broken through!"

A look of surprise appeared in Lu Xuan's eyes.

A single Rank 6 spiritual fruit has such a powerful effect.

Of course, it was also because of the spiritual energy feedback from the incense tree that Lu Xuan's accumulated spiritual energy quickly reached the required level.

Third grade high level!

The internal energy within him was now circulating like a highly efficient and powerful turbine.

call!

At this moment, Lu Xuan's eyes also shone with a bright light.

The Heavenly Crossing Technique slowly suppressed it.

"To break through to the fourth rank, you must obtain the subsequent cultivation techniques."

"Of course, with my current abilities, I should be able to deduce the subsequent operating method within two months."

"However, two months is too long for the old man."

"Time is not meant to be wasted."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

You only realize how precious time is when you get old.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days in this blessed land, I have gained so much.

He was originally a timid and lowly old stableman in a small county town.

Now, however, he has become someone who can make people tremble in Jinyuan City with a single stomp of his foot.

The strength of a high-ranking third-grade expert.

In addition, the power of the Xuan Tian Martial Bone erupted.

Even a fourth-rank martial artist would be no match for them.

It should be enough to hold them off for at least a short while.

Even a fourth-rank martial artist would have to pay a heavy price to kill Lu Xuan. This is the confidence that strength brings. Lu Xuan now definitely has the strength to expand his territory in Jinyuan City.

Even within the small Wuling County, one had to be extremely careful.

Now, that's no longer necessary.

Previously, I was worried about retaliation from other forces.

Now, Lu Xuan can say directly that he only needs to let out a little bit of the news about his strength.

That way, you can scare your former enemies so badly they'll run away in terror.

Of course, for Lu Xuan, such a high profile was unnecessary.

After returning, I will try my best to maintain harmonious relations with all parties as an alchemist and a merchant.

After all, if too much strength is displayed, it is easy to expose oneself to the eyes of more powerful forces.

There's always another mountain higher than the one you climb.

Unless Lu Xuan can cultivate to the fifth rank.

He became a figurehead, akin to a Martial King, within the Xuanwu Dynasty.

Then even the imperial court would have to show Lu Xuan some respect.

Not to mention these underworld forces.

Even within the Qinghe Sword Sect, there are no experts at the fifth rank.

Despite its apparent strength, the Qinghe Sword Sect is merely a second-rate martial arts sect.

They took out the storage bags of Red Sparrow and the others.

Lu Xuan conducted a thorough examination.

They didn't find many spiritual fruits; these people seemed to be constantly on their way.

However, Lu Xuan found a map among them that was very similar to the map that Yang Qinghou had given him before.

Upon comparison, the map in Red Sparrow's hand was clearly more detailed, and it recorded a relic sealed on a high-risk island.

"what?"

"Yang Qinghou's map actually contains several traps!"

"Good heavens, that bastard, he even plotted against people after he died!"

Lu Xuan also secretly marveled.

This Yang Qinghou is truly ruthless.

Even the only map he had contained several traps, something Yang Qinghou himself was probably aware of.

If Lu Xuan hadn't obtained part of the map from Red Sparrow...

I'm afraid Yang Qinghou will lead me astray.

"This kid is ruthless; he's got talent."

"It's a pity he died."

Lu Xuan shook his head slightly, his tone showing little regret.

However, I was also relieved.

Comparing the two maps, they should point to the same site.

Lu Xuan suddenly realized something.

Since Yang Qinghou was able to obtain it, these people from Yeliang Kingdom must also have a share.

Doesn't that mean that other people might also have it?

Perhaps the Kingdom of Night Cool is cooperating with some other power.

"To have that kind of energy, that kind of courage."

"It's either the Mu family or the Qinghe Sword Sect."

"Who cares who they are, just accept these two as the default."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

The direction the map points to is precisely that of the largest, most dangerous island.

"A high-grade, third-rank spiritual weapon longbow."

"This longbow can actually condense internal energy into arrows!"

Lu Xuan flipped the bow over and saw two characters written inside.

Mastiff feathers.

"Mastiff Feather Bow".
