"Third Master and the others are back!"

Suddenly a loud shout was heard, its sound as powerful as a bell, piercing the sky, and even the copper bells on the eaves of the Xu mansion hummed.

The maids, servants, and guards who were working in the mansion looked up in surprise and saw that the clouds and mist in the distance had been dispersed by the sound.

They carried a six- or seven-zhang-long (approximately 33-40 cm) red-scaled python out of the mountains. Many people saw it and, driven by curiosity, followed it all the way to the Xu family's gate.

The snake's body was as thick as a wooden barrel, its scales gleaming with a golden-red luster in the sunlight. Its six- or seven-zhang-long body meandered like a fiery cloud, and although its forked tongue was stiff, it still exuded a chilling, fishy smell.

"What a huge red snake! Is it a demonic beast?" an old man said in a trembling voice, leaning on his cane.

"Yes, I didn't expect Third Master and the others to be able to kill the demon beast. They are really amazing."

The crowd was noisy.

The children watching peeked out from behind the adults, asking, "Dad, look, the python has horns on its head! Do snakes grow horns?"

“Indeed, a snake growing horns is a sign of transforming into a dragon,” a knowledgeable schoolteacher exclaimed in surprise.

Oh!

Suddenly someone shouted, "The patriarch is here!"

The crowd stopped their noise, made way for them, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Patriarch."

The newcomer walked with an imposing gait, exuding authority without anger; it was none other than Xu Mingwei.

Upon seeing the red-scaled python, his brows furrowed slightly and his pupils contracted. After examining it closely, he said, "Everyone, disperse. Third brother, fourth sister, you should move this snake to the Jade Cold Pool first."

Xu Mingxuan and the others knew that it was best to leave such demonic beasts to cultivators to deal with.

"Alright, let my wife go over there too."

Xu Mingwei immediately instructed the people beside him, "Go and invite Third Master's wife to Bihan Pool."

Although Zhang Wanqing was also a cultivator, she spent most of her time cultivating in the mansion, which was also to make it easier to take care of Xu Deheng.

Not everyone can renounce worldly affairs and devote themselves to spiritual practice.

Bihan Pool.

Wu Tao, Shen Qingyi, and the others were quite shocked when they saw the Red Serpent.

Even in death, it exudes a terrifying aura, far beyond what the two first or second-level cultivators could handle.

"What a huge red snake!" Xu Dezhao's eyes lit up as he looked at Xu Mingxuan and asked, "Third Uncle, did you kill it?"

Seeing Xu Mingxuan's smugness, Xu Mingshu directly exposed him, saying, "Not at all, he just played the fisherman."

"Near the foot of Broken Tooth Peak, we saw a blue eagle with a blue flame burning on its head fighting with this red snake. After a fierce battle, the red snake died under the claws of the blue eagle, and its gall bladder was taken away. We took the opportunity to move the red snake's body."

"The Crimson Serpent is probably a late-stage Qi Refining demon beast. Its materials are quite valuable even to late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. Our Xu family got a bargain."

Xu Mingwei asked in surprise, "The demon beasts are quite intelligent. Will the Azure Eagle give up?"

"Thanks to Third Brother's intuition, he was very reliable in times of crisis and brought us back safely."

"a piece of cake."

At this moment, Zhang Wanqing walked gracefully towards them. Although she was in her early twenties, she had acquired the elegance and poise of a lady from a prominent family after several years in the Xu household.

"Brothers and sisters are here."

"Third sister-in-law."

"Third Madam."

"Third aunt."

Xu Mingwei and the others spoke up one after another. Xu Mingxuan stepped forward to her side, took her snow-white soft hand in his hand, and said softly, "My wife has arrived."

Xu Mingwei said, "Wu Tao, Qingyi, sister-in-law, the three of you should work together to dissect this red snake and collect all the usable materials."

"Understood, Big Brother." Zhang Wanqing nodded in acknowledgment.

"Yes, Master." Wu Tao and Shen Qingyi bowed.

Xu Mingxuan added, "The red snake is highly venomous and should have venom sacs inside. Be careful not to break them. Flesh and blood are highly nourishing for martial artists, containing abundant essence. Blood and flesh should be kept separate." "Zhao'er, Wen'er, you two stay here and guard the place. Report to me if you have any news. Also, do not let anyone else disturb your third aunt and the others. Anyone who violates this rule will be severely punished!"

"Understood, Father."

"Third brother, fourth sister, and the rest of you, come down the mountain with me to rest."

"Little White, you come with me too, so you won't sneak any food!" Xu Mingshu tugged at the white tiger's half-circle ear.

"roar~"

[Today's divination: Auspicious. Xu Mingxuan, Xu Mingshu, and their group brought back the complete body of a Qi Refining Level 7 Crimson Scale Python from the Broken Tooth Mountain Range.]

A Crimson-Scaled Python at the seventh level of Qi Refining?

"This is truly good luck. It's as if the heavens and earth are working together to help me. A few days ago, I bought a copy of the 'Heavenly Flame Technique' at the market. It's far superior to the likes of the 'Blazing Fire Technique' and is perfect for Ling'er to cultivate."

"It's time to send Yunnu back."

Xu Chuan's eyes flickered for a moment, "It would be a waste to eat the flesh and blood of the Crimson Scale Python directly, but I still need to find a way to buy a low-level storage bag, otherwise a substandard storage bag will not be able to hold it all."

With his monthly salary from the Zhou family, plus the proceeds from refining six pills and selling a portion of them, he now has 136 pills in his possession.

He was a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and also an alchemist skilled in alchemy. It took him more than two years to accumulate this few spirit stones, which shows how unsatisfactory the lives of most rogue cultivators were.

Of course, Xu Chuan wasn't incompetent; he was simply seeking stability.

If no one interfered, and he was allowed to act freely, he could purchase large quantities of spiritual herbs and refine pills.

He probably already has a fortune of several hundred spirit stones, enough to afford a high-grade magic weapon.

Xu Chuan had many thoughts flashing through his mind, but in the end he decided to prioritize his family and refine the Innate Blood Pill first.

is the day.

Xu Chuan went to the Hundred Things Pavilion and bought a beginner-level storage bag for a full eighty spirit stones, no bargaining.

Then he went to the Hundred Refinement Weapon Workshop to find Xu Mingxian, handed him the storage bag, and asked him to go back.

"The relationship between Fellow Daoist San Shu and Fellow Daoist Yun Ming is truly excellent, which is enviable."

Wu Fangzhu sat and chatted with Xu Chuan while drinking tea.

"A friendship forged through life and death over many years is naturally incomparable to an ordinary relationship."

Xu Chuan took a small sip of the spiritual tea. The tea contained a trace of spiritual energy, but of course, it had no effect on a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator like him.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Wu, you must have traveled to many places and markets before you settled in Moon Lake Market."

"Fellow Daoist San Shu wants to leave Moon Lake Market?"

"Although this place is safe, it will take an unknown number of years to gather enough resources for Foundation Establishment. Even if the hope is slim, I am willing to give it my all and live a life without regrets."

“Fellow Daoist San Shu’s steadfast pursuit of the Dao is truly admirable.” Master Wu sighed slowly. “If you have the leisure, you might as well listen to my stories. If they can be of any help to you, then our friendship will not have been in vain.”

Xu Chuan clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you."

"In my early years, I was also devoted to the Dao. I traveled around the Great Wei Dynasty in search of opportunities. I obtained the art of weapon crafting by chance from a cultivator's cave. After encountering many setbacks, I lamented the hardships of being a rogue cultivator and devoted myself to studying it."

"Fortunately, I have some talent for weapon crafting, which is why my life has improved."

"A few years later, I had the idea of ​​starting a Qi cultivation family. I got married and had children. However, my wife passed away early. Fortunately, my son had the aptitude for cultivation and followed me in cultivating immortality."

After reaching adulthood, he married a wandering cultivator, and they had a grandson. However, they discovered the child's constitution was weak, so the couple went out to seek a better future. They never returned, and their life force was extinguished.

"What dream of a noble family? In the end, it's all in vain. I was worried about my grandson's life, but now that I have received help from my fellow Daoist, I can finally put my mind at ease."

Although Xu Chuan was moved by the ups and downs of the other party's life, he was more interested in winning him over.

Now that the Xu family has inherited the Dao of Alchemy and the Dao of Array Formation, what if they also inherit the Dao of Weaponry?

With just over ten years of patience, one can become a high-ranking member of a Qi cultivation family.

"I've been speaking too much in a moment of reflection. As for the market towns, I've been to the capital, Longjiang County, and Guangling County."
