Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years

This good-for-nothing is truly a waste of resources.

If it weren't for his wife's sake, Huang Yangping would have given up on this waste long ago.

Since the opening of the Jia family's pharmacy, Huang Yangping has been using his position as the county magistrate's assistant to pave the way for the Jia family's pharmacy.

But what about Jia Sheng, that good-for-nothing? He's utterly useless, only causing trouble and needing his mess to be cleaned up!

"Brother-in-law, you have a share in the Jia family's pharmacy too. If you don't care, it'll really be gone!"

Seeing his brother-in-law's indifferent attitude, Jia Sheng began to panic.

"That old guy at the Lu family's pharmacy is highly skilled and respected. Most people in the city choose to go to the Lu family's pharmacy."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Lu family's pharmacy can't handle so many people, we really wouldn't have any business at all."

Huang Yangping remained silent with a dark face.

Because Jia Sheng was right. Huang Yangping had his own motives for supporting the Jia family's pharmacy with all his efforts.

The Jia family's pharmacy could not only bring him huge wealth, but also provide him with medicinal herbs and tonics for his martial arts practice.

Before County Magistrate Ye Qingshan came to Qingyun County, the Jia family's pharmacy was on par with the Lu family's pharmacy.

Now, in just a few years, it has been far surpassed by the Lu family's pharmacy, becoming the second-ranked pharmacy in the county.

"In that case, the Lu family's pharmacy cannot be allowed to exist."

After thinking it over, Huang Yangping decided to take action against the Lu family's pharmacy.

Otherwise, the Jia family's pharmacy would really be finished, and he would lose a significant source of income.

Huang Yangping had long had ideas about the Lu family's pharmacy.

However, the Lu family had connections with Liang Shanhai.

And Liang Shanhai was Ye Qingshan's confidant, so Huang Yangping had not interfered with the Lu family's pharmacy.

Now, the Lu family's pharmacy has already harmed his interests.

With such great interests at stake, Huang Yangping would not let it go, even if it meant taking action against Ye Qingshan.

Hearing that Huang Yangping was going to take action against the Lu family's pharmacy, the bitter face of Jia Shan, with all his features squeezed together, was filled with joy.

"That's great, brother-in-law! I advised you long ago that the Lu family's pharmacy couldn't be allowed to exist."

"But, brother-in-law, there's that little devil from the county yamen guarding the Lu family's pharmacy. What should we do?"

The little devil Jia Shan was referring to was Liang Cheng.

As his uncle's pharmacy, Liang Cheng naturally had Chen Shi arrange for him to be stationed in the area where the Lu family's pharmacy was located.

And Liang Cheng, of course, had his own intentions, focusing on patrolling the surroundings of the Lu family's pharmacy to prevent anyone from daring to cause trouble.

"Don't worry, I'll have Wen'er help you deal with that little devil."

"Good!"

Hearing that his nephew was going to take action, Jia Sheng no longer had any concerns.

Because Huang Wen was also a constable in the county yamen, and the area he managed was also very close to the Lu family's pharmacy.

..........

The Lu Family!

Lu Xuan had already returned to the county town from the Junling Mountains, and then, as always, returned to his own courtyard alone.

Since Lu Xuan had told Liang Cheng in advance that he was going out of the county town today, Liang Cheng did not come to the Lu family today.

Without thinking much, Lu Xuan walked into the room and took out the tonics he had brought back from Tongfeng Ridge last time.

Then he walked to the training ground outside the courtyard, sat down cross-legged, and placed the tonics aside.

Then, with a thought, the system panel reappeared before his eyes.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Inner Qi Realm

Cultivation Method: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique 2/9 (can be deduced), Wind Chasing Step Technique 1/9 (can be deduced)

Points: 55

Please confirm whether to consume 40 points to deduce the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique!

Please confirm whether to consume 35 points to deduce the Wind Chasing Step Technique.

Lu Xuan thought for a moment, then chose to deduce the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique.

Now, the first level of the Wind Chasing Step Technique is already very powerful, enough for his current needs, it is better to improve his strength.

The last time Lu Xuan deduced the Wind Chasing Step Technique, he felt that his inner Qi was becoming more and more abundant, and he was not far from the Minor Accomplishment of the Inner Qi Realm.

This time, deducing the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique, Lu Xuan had a hunch that his strength would go a step further.

With Lu Xuan's confirmation, 40 system points were instantly erased from the system panel.

Countless exquisite saber techniques once again poured into Lu Xuan's mind.

And Lu Xuan was sitting cross-legged on the futon on the ground, and the aura on his body was also rising sharply.

Looking closely, it could be found that there was a strange and blurred airflow around Lu Xuan, causing strange air backflow around him.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Then, Lu Xuan opened his eyes, and the powerful inner Qi hovering around him also converged into his body.

Breakthrough!

Immediately afterwards, the system panel in his mind reappeared before Lu Xuan's eyes.

Host: Lu Xuan

Realm: Inner Qi Realm (Minor Accomplishment)

Cultivation Method: Scarlet Flame Saber Technique 3/9, Wind Chasing Step Technique 1/9

Points: 15

Unexpectedly, this deduction of the Scarlet Flame Saber Technique actually allowed him to break through to the Minor Accomplishment of the Inner Qi Realm in one fell swoop.

So strong!

Lu Xuan raised his hand to gather inner Qi in his palm, feeling the powerful power within, which was more than twice as strong as when he had just entered the Inner Qi Realm.

Immediately, Lu Xuan picked up the tonics next to him and ate them.

It was not until half of the tonics next to him were consumed that Lu Xuan stopped his movements.

Then, Lu Xuan looked at the points on the system panel again, only to find that this time the system points did not change at all, it was still 15 points.

In other words, most of the tonics he had just eaten were completely absorbed by his body, and there was no residual medicinal power left.

Hiss!

Lu Xuan couldn't help but take a breath, and then smiled bitterly.

As his martial arts realm and cultivation methods continue to improve, the consumption of tonics becomes more and more terrifying.

Until now, these tonics that can be used by ordinary martial artists for a long time.

For Lu Xuan, it was just the consumption of one deduction of cultivation methods, and in the end, it was not even enough.

Moreover, now not only are the tonics not enough, but even the system points are not enough.

System points?

Lu Xuan once again thought of the White Lotus Blood Infant in the Junling Mountains, a strange creature that could provide him with a lot of system points.

What is the Pure World White Lotus Sect?

Lu Xuan, from childhood to adulthood, for these twenty years, why has he never heard of this name.

Logically speaking, being able to create a strange creature that even a Blood Refinement Realm martial artist cannot resist.

Then, the strength of this Pure World White Lotus Sect should be unprecedentedly powerful, and it is absolutely impossible to be unknown and unheard of.

Well, tomorrow, he will go to his uncle Liang Shanhai's place.

After learning that there are people in this world who can create strange creatures like the White Lotus Blood Infant.

Lu Xuan's urgent desire for strength has become even stronger.

After all, this time, he only encountered the White Lotus Blood Infant.

What if next time, he encounters a strange creature that is even more powerful than the White Lotus Blood Infant?

A strange creature comparable to a martial artist in the Great Accomplishment of the Inner Qi Realm?

Or a strange creature that surpasses a martial artist in the Inner Qi Realm?
