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

The fact that he was able to reach the Unity Realm in just two days is inseparable from the spirit stones in his hands and the feedback from the incense tree!

At this moment, Lu Xuan also used his spiritual energy to slowly erase the mark on the storage ring in his hand.

It sounded like a loud bang.

Just like the sound of ice breaking, Lu Xuan's mental energy seemed to have entered a new environment.

Huang Lao Er's storage ring has a space of about one cubic meter, which is enough to fit at most three sets of quilts.

There wasn't much inside.

There were some medicinal herbs, some silver notes in a box, and a medicine bottle.

And some books, and a furnace about the size of an arm's diameter.

"One thousand taels of silver!"

"It's been posted."

Spirit stones are harder to convert into cash when you have them in your hands.

But this thousand taels of silver was truly an unexpected delight.

Once one's strength is truly sufficient to qualify for a higher rank, one can go to the county government office for certification and obtain an exemption certificate, which will allow one to be released from slavery.

Leaving the Huang family is only the first step; surviving in the dynasty is also a crucial one.

"There are actually pills inside this bottle."

Lu Xuan put the medicinal herbs aside and poured out the pills first.

"Body Tempering Pill".

Lu Xuan took a sniff.

He no longer needed the Body Tempering Pill, but this one could still fetch a good price.

Judging from the way these things are arranged, it seems that Huang Lao Er is still studying alchemy.

It is highly likely that he refined the Body Tempering Pill himself.

"These pills can be given to Yue'er and Qingxue."

Lu Xuan thought that he didn't know about Shen Yue's situation, but Liu Qingxue had martial arts talent. If she was trained well, she would be a very useful weapon.

There are three pills in total.

Lu Xuan simply took one himself.

The entire effect of the pill was merely to increase Lu Xuan's strength by a few dozen kilograms.

Firstly, the quality of the pills was mediocre, and secondly, Lu Xuan's cultivation had improved considerably, so the Body Tempering Pill was no longer very effective.

The effects of Tiger Blood Powder, including the previous one, have gradually diminished.

After acquiring this product, it will cost a considerable amount of money just to nourish the body.

Lu Xuan then gave Shen Yue a Body Tempering Pill.

As Shen Yue's physical abilities improve, the spiritual energy reflected from the incense tree will also increase.

Therefore, we must make sure that Shen Yue becomes a martial artist in the future.

In the warehouse for horse feed.

Lu Xuan brought lunch.

Huang Danian is dead, so naturally no one listens to what he said before.

Liu Qingxue has recovered a lot after resting for the past few days.

After lunch.

Lu Xuan also handed over the Body Tempering Pill to Liu Qingxue, along with the improved Basic Qi Induction Technique.

"Master, my family has a family-inherited martial arts technique. Before my entire family was wiped out, my father hid the technique. If you have the chance, you can go to the Liu family in Lingshui County and retrieve the technique."

"Although it's not a top-tier cultivation technique, it's still at the lower-grade Xuan level."

Liu Qingxue said to Lu Xuan.

The fact that Liu Qingxue was willing to tell Lu Xuan about the Xuan-rank cultivation technique shows that she genuinely wanted to pledge allegiance to him.

"Oh? Lingshui County?"

"That's not impossible. Take this pill first, and I'll protect you."

Lu Xuan said.

Taking the Body Tempering Pill alone isn't very risky, but having a master protect you makes it safer.

Lu Xuan was also very interested in the cultivation method that Liu Qingxue mentioned.

However, trying to do too much at once is counterproductive, and there weren't many good opportunities to go to Lingshui County.

Liu Qingxue refined the Body Tempering Pill in her hand.

At the same time, the basic Qi-inducing technique is being activated.

As expected of someone with martial arts talent, Liu Qingxue sensed spiritual energy as soon as she started practicing.

However, Liu Qingxue lacked experience and failed to control the spiritual energy when it appeared, causing it to wander aimlessly.

Surprisingly, Liu Qingxue's body turned slightly red at this moment.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan quickly placed his broad palm on Liu Qingxue's back and poured spiritual energy into it to help her.

When he sensed Liu Qingxue's physical condition.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but gasp.

The reason Liu Qingxue had difficulty controlling her cultivation technique was because she absorbed too much spiritual energy for the first time.

No wonder.

Fortunately, with Lu Xuan's help, the pressure on Liu Qingxue was easily dispelled.

Liu Qingxue finally stored her first wisp of spiritual energy within her body.

"Congratulations, you've now entered the realm of martial arts."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

At this moment, Liu Qingxue leaned slightly towards Lu Xuan.

"Master, Qingxue... is ready..."

Liu Qingxue slightly raised her snow-white chin.

Her crystal-clear eyes were now fixed on Lu Xuan.

For some reason, although Lu Xuan said he was seventy years old, Liu Qingxue felt that Lu Xuan was at most forty or fifty years old. Moreover, although he looked thin, he was actually very fleshy and his body was unusually strong.

"Um?"

Lu Xuan had not expected Liu Qingxue to be so enlightened.

The beautiful woman took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, and Lu Xuan was no gentleman either.

His broad palm gently swept upwards along Liu Qingxue's delicate jade-like legs.

Liu Qingxue was still wearing the same dress as before.

Finally, under Lu Xuan's guidance, Liu Qingxue's tightly pressed knees gently parted.

[Spreading Branches and Leaves: Obtain the Mysterious Heavenly Martial Bone]

The reward information for the incense tree appeared in Lu Xuan's mind.

Xuantian Martial Bones!

Root bone!

The incense tree actually rewarded itself with a complete set of root bones, rather than just a simple improvement in blood and bone.

This moment.

Lu Xuan also felt a terrifying and powerful energy surging into his body from the incense tree.

It enveloped Lu Xuan's bones and permeated them, causing Lu Xuan's own physical constitution to undergo a complete transformation at this moment.

"My strength has reached two thousand jin! Peak of the Unity Realm!"

"We're just one step away from achieving top-tier quality!"

Lu Xuan's heart suddenly trembled.

A look of surprise appeared on her face.

Peak of the Unity Realm.

Lu Xuan hadn't expected his breakthrough to be so fast.

Even if someone is seventy years old and has made some progress, it's still difficult for their body's various functions to keep up.

However, with the help of the incense tree, the speed at which his cultivation improved exceeded Lu Xuan's expectations.

Furthermore, Lu Xuan also obtained the Xuan Tian Martial Bone.

In addition to improving cultivation speed, even the power of some martial arts techniques will be greatly enhanced.

Once Lu Xuan has mastered his Xuan Tian Martial Bone to a certain extent, he will be able to unleash its power and enhance his strength in a short period of time.

"If I were to unleash the power of the Profound Heaven Martial Bone with my current level of control, I should be able to increase my strength to three thousand jin. Even ordinary entry-level martial artists would not be my match."

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Liu Qingxue lay limply on the haystack.

She hadn't expected that Lu Xuan, at his age, would still be so vigorous.

Moreover, she was a virgin and had never experienced anything like this before.

Fortunately, Liu Qingxue had taken a Body Tempering Pill beforehand, and had also gathered spiritual energy, so she wasn't ruined.

"Hehe, Master's fighting power is really strong. Luckily, there is Sister Shen Yue here, otherwise I really couldn't have held on by myself."

Liu Qingxue looked at Lu Xuan with a dazed expression.

Clearly, Liu Qingxue also possesses this kind of charm in her bones.

"Haha, I'm only doing this because it's your first time. It won't be so easy next time."

"You'll have to stay here at the Huang family's house for a while. I'll take you away after I've finished my business."

"Furthermore, don't rush into the matter of the Blood Mist Cult. I know you want revenge, but the Blood Mist Cult is deeply entrenched and we must not act rashly."

Lu Xuan said to Liu Qingxue.

Liu Qingxue is a very intelligent person. She is able to clearly understand her current situation, what choices she should make, and what fate she should accept.

Although Liu Qingxue knew that the hope of revenge was slim, she still held onto that hope in her heart.

"I understand."

Liu Qingxue nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, your business is my business, it's just not the right time yet."

Lu Xuan said, and upon hearing his words, a glimmer of light appeared in Liu Qingxue's eyes.

If it were just her alone, she would definitely be outnumbered and outmatched, but with Lu Xuan by her side, they might not necessarily fail.

Lu Xuan said that.

That's because he was destined to fight this Blood Mist Cult.

Having lived to this age, I understand that some things are unavoidable.

The Huang family is destined to be destroyed by him, and the Blood Mother Cult behind the Huang family will inevitably take action against him. This is a predetermined cause and effect.

Lu Xuan was not afraid.

What should be feared is this Blood Mother Cult.

Now that he has consummated his marriage with Liu Qingxue, Lu Xuan's incense tree has gained another new incense spirit bud.

This means that he will receive twice as much spiritual energy every day as before!

Given time, he could destroy the entire Blood Mistress Cult.

"Thank you, sir! I will certainly keep your instructions in mind."

Liu Qingxue said in a deep voice.

at this time.

Shen Yue's voice came from outside the warehouse.

"Master, Lord Chu has arrived."

Shen Yue and Liu Qingxue were already familiar with each other.

Furthermore, Shen Yue and Liu Qingxue are of similar age and have both experienced persecution, so the two hit it off immediately.

Shen Yue further expressed that Lu Xuan took good care of her and even saved her life from danger several times.

It was Shen Yue's words that made Liu Qingxue decide to give herself to Lu Xuan as soon as possible.

Chu Xiao?

Upon hearing Shen Yue's call, Lu Xuan immediately came out of the warehouse.

He had previously told Huang Danian that Chu Xiao would come to find him in three days at most, but that was just a lie.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xiao actually came knocking on their door again.

"You two can look out for each other."

Lu Xuan said to Shen Yue.

Shen Yue nodded.

"Don't worry, sir."

In the past few days, Lu Xuan has also taught the two some martial arts skills. Although Shen Yue's martial arts talent is not as strong as Liu Qingxue's, she has been working since she was a child and is quite strong.

The Huang family has been preoccupied with their own problems these days.

The ancestral hall caught fire, Huang Danian was killed, and in the past two days, the First Madam has also discovered in horror that her son is missing!

Several gambling dens and brothels in the city have also disappeared.

The First Madam is now mobilizing the entire Huang family to investigate this matter.

Lu Xuan, hunched over and wearing worn-out cloth shoes, arrived at the courtyard and saw Chu Xiao and the First Madam waiting there.

These days, the First Madam has also become noticeably haggard.

However, when facing Lord Chu Xiaochu beside her, the First Madam had to force herself to be alert.

"Madam Huang, your Huang family ancestral hall was maliciously set on fire, and your steward was murdered. Are you sure you shouldn't report this to the authorities?"

Chu Xiao glanced indifferently at the person beside him and said.

"No, no, Lord Chu, you are too kind. The fire at the ancestral hall was due to the negligence of the guards; it was an accident... As for the old steward, he was just unlucky to have encountered bandits. These days, how can you catch all the bandits? You should attend to your own business first, sir."

The First Madam quickly said.

If the people of Fengwu Hall were to investigate the secret beneath the ancestral hall, they would know it at a glance!

At that time, the entire Huang family will be uprooted.

Nowadays, there are many places where the government's efforts are needed.

Such incidents, especially those involving wealthy families, would not be investigated by the authorities unless someone reported them or there was a victim; the cases would simply be closed hastily.

"That's true. Now that the world has just been settled, some bandits and religious groups will definitely try to make a comeback, but these people won't be able to keep up for long. The Huang family has repeatedly contributed to the court, so if anything happens, our court will definitely grant them special permission."

Chu Xiao spoke slowly, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

These words sound very eloquent on the surface, but they contain several hidden meanings, which depend on whether the listener is attentive to them.

"Greetings, Madam; greetings, Lord Chu."

Lu Xuan approached the two men and bowed respectfully.

This time, the First Madam was much more sensible and spoke directly.

"Lu Xuan, Lord Chu remembers your meritorious service last time, so you will continue to serve Lord Chu this time. If you do a good job, I will increase your salary; if you do a bad job, I will make you pay when we return to the manor!"

"This old servant understands."

Lu Xuan lowered his stance.

Chu Xiao didn't say much about the First Madam's attitude.

He simply looked at Lu Xuan and bowed slightly.

"We'll have to trouble the old gentleman again."

"No, no, it is my honor to serve you, Madam."

Lu Xuan said respectfully.

Now, in front of the First Madam, I must not reveal any flaws.

If we persevere a little longer, we will be able to see the clear sky after the clouds have parted.

However, listening to Chu Xiao's words just now, it seems that this Lord Chu knows something about the Huang family.

This time, Chu Xiao did not borrow a horse from the Huang family.

The main reason was to borrow Lu Xuan, because Lu Xuan knew a lot about horses.

"Do you remember Dugu Bei from last time? We received intelligence that several of Dugu Bei's accomplices have already shown up and arrived in the vicinity of Lingshui County, so we need your help again this time to continue tracking them on the road."

"I will lead the team for this operation, along with the iron-clad constables from the county government."

Lu Xuan followed Chu Xiao into a dense forest.

At this moment, besides Yan Shiba, the master of lightness skills we had met before, there was no one else in the forest.

There were also ten constables dressed in dark gray official robes and wearing official hats.

The leader of the constables was a middle-aged man in his forties.

When he saw that Chu Xiao had made a special trip to invite a decrepit old man, his originally kind expression immediately fell.

"Lord Chu, what is this?"

"This is Lu Xuan, the groom of the Huang family."

"The old stableman...?"

The head constable in iron armor immediately looked displeased.

"Lord Chu, we're here to apprehend a martial arts criminal, not for a leisurely outing. Why did you bring an old groom with you?"
