Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

Even without new injuries today, he won't live more than a year.

The Supreme Longevity Technique has a remarkable effect on healing injuries, but Yue Zhuoqun dared not use excessive force. He first used his internal energy to prolong the patient's life force, and then slowly healed the internal organs.

First, the heart.

After the true qi enters the heart, it removes the remaining external forces and enhances its blood and qi.

The heart, which had almost stopped beating, regained its vitality and began to beat again.

After the heart comes the other organs, which are nourished one by one.

Once his internal organs had recovered, Lu Miaozi's consciousness returned.

Sensing that someone was healing him, he also began to circulate his internal energy, working together with her.

It took a full ten hours for his life to finally stabilize.

Chapter 182 The Beauty Vendor

When Yue Zhuoqun stepped out of the attic, the outside was filled with a harmonious atmosphere. Of course, it was only a warm, friendly atmosphere.

Misanthropy (III) The Sheep Monarch (⑦① ④) (IV) 8 Six (⑦) Seven (○)

Wanwan tugged at Shang Xiuxun's arm, her face beaming with a warm smile: "Sister Shang, please don't be angry with Wanwan anymore. It was all a misunderstanding!"

Anyone who saw this scene would mistake her for Shang Xiuxun's best friend or close sister!

Unfortunately, no matter how much she pleaded, Shang Xiuxun remained cold, her eyebrows twitching as she pulled her arm away.

Yue Zhuoqun was speechless upon seeing this scene.

This little witch from the Yin Kui Sect is indeed clever and quick-witted. After learning about his attitude towards Shang Xiuxun, she immediately began to make up for their relationship.

"Alright, stop bothering them."

Shang Xiuxun then broke away from Wanwan as if granted a pardon and asked anxiously, "How is my father... how is the old man?"

"His life has been saved, but his injuries haven't fully healed yet. You can go in and see him."

Without saying a word, Shang Xiuxun quickly went into the attic.

Wanwan excitedly came to Yue Zhuoqun's side, put her hands behind her back, and raised her smooth chin: "Brother Holy Lord, you're not angry with Wanwan, are you!"

"Hmph! You've caused me a lot of trouble, don't you think!"

"They're pressing for the location of Yang Gong's treasure vault because they want to help the Holy Emperor! Yang Su has stored a lot of treasures, weapons, and armor in the vault. Once the vault is opened, all of these will be given to you."

"Don't think I don't know it's to help your master seize the Evil Emperor's Relic, yet you say you're helping me."

"Hehe, I'll help both, so I won't have to do either one," Wanwan chuckled, not feeling embarrassed at all.

Even though it was her first time meeting Yue Zhuoqun, she didn't show any awkwardness at all.

Even Yue Zhuoqun couldn't tell whether she was acting or being genuine.

However, this little incident wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

He saved Lu Miaozi's life and helped repair his internal injuries, not only saving his life but also extending his lifespan considerably.

Even after this conflict, the father and daughter revealed their true feelings and the misunderstanding was resolved.

From any perspective, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, and it can be considered as leaving behind a legacy of kindness.

Even if Shang Xiuxun harbors hatred, it will only be directed at Wanwan and the Yin Kui Sect, not at him.

The transaction between Wagang and Pegasus Ranch will not only be unaffected, but will even proceed more smoothly.

Half an hour later, Shang Xiuxun walked out of the pavilion, her face showing a relaxed expression, and even her gaze towards Yue Zhuoqun became much more affectionate.

He bowed deeply and said, "Many thanks to Commander Yue for helping this old man heal his hidden injuries. I will remember this kindness forever."

"You flatter me, it was just a small favor."

"I would like to invite General Yue to return to the ranch with Xiu Xun for further discussion." Shang Xiu Xun smiled slightly and extended her hand in invitation. As for Wan Wan and the others, she did not even glance at them.

"Right on my mind!"

Yue Zhuoqun nodded and walked with her toward the Pegasus Ranch.

Wanwan followed Yue Zhuoqun like a little follower, completely disregarding whether Shang Xiuxun welcomed her or not.

After passing through the long corridors and paths, we soon returned to the Pegasus Ranch Castle.

Liu Zongdao and the others were extremely anxious, but when they saw Shang Xiuxun return safely, they breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to greet her with joyful faces:

"Master, you're finally back... Hmm? Witch!"

He was only halfway through his sentence when his mood immediately darkened, and he glared fiercely at Wanwan behind Yue Zhuoqun.

"Alright, it's all a misunderstanding, let's not dwell on it anymore."

Shang Xiuxun waved her hand: "Go prepare a banquet. I want to properly thank Commander Yue."

Liu Zongdao and the others didn't know what had happened, but since the owner had spoken, they could only obey.

The banquet was prepared, with Yue Zhuoqun seated in the place of honor, and Wanwan shamelessly joining in as well.

Shang Xiuxun was dissatisfied but there was nothing she could do; she could only let things go her way.

He raised his glass and thanked Yue Zhuoqun again.

"No need for such politeness, Master. Wanwan is ultimately working for me, so I will do my best to make up for the trouble she caused."

"Making amends is one thing, but you healed the old man's hidden injuries, allowing him to live a few more years. This kindness can never be erased."

"If Commander Yue needs any help in the future, just tell Xiu Xun."

"There is indeed one thing. I would like to purchase a batch of high-quality warhorses from Pegasus Ranch."

“Pegasus Ranch is in the warhorse business; this is a fair trade, not a favor.” Shang Xiuxun laughed heartily, her face bright. “I wonder how many General Yue wishes to purchase?”

"At least ten thousand, the more the better."

“A good warhorse isn’t cheap!” Shang Xiuxun’s eyes flashed with surprise.

Purchasing 10,000 high-quality warhorses in one go is no small sum.

Apart from the four major clans, I doubt any other power in the world today possesses such financial resources; even the likes of Du Fuwei and Dou Jiande cannot match them.

Even if Wagang occupied Xingyang, their financial resources probably wouldn't be enough.

After all, maintaining an army involves huge expenses for military pay, provisions, and weapons, and no one dares to spend all their resources on buying horses.

Yue Zhuoqun smiled confidently: "Silver is not a problem."

Things are different now compared to the world of Yitian. Wagang doesn't have enough money, but he can bring gold and silver from the other three worlds through the spatial gate.

With a system space of thirty cubic meters, a single shipment of treasure would be enough to sustain Wagang for a long time.

Shang Xiuxun nodded slightly. Since Yue Zhuoqun was so confident, she didn't need to say anything more.

"With plenty of warhorses, have you never thought about making a name for yourself? With your geographical location, as long as you raise an army, you can quickly control the Yangtze and Han Rivers. Going downstream, you can take the two lakes and lakes; going upstream, you can occupy Hanzhong and Sichuan. It is truly an advantageous position."

Hanzhong is a major grain-producing area; Sichuan and Chongqing are known as the Land of Abundance; Hunan has abundant water and soil, and its rice production is also astonishing.

By occupying any territory and developing it for two years, one can quickly build a strong and well-equipped army.

"Pegasus Ranch has an ancestral motto: only do business, never participate in the struggles of the martial world or the imperial court, and have no interest in conquering the world."

"This idea was fine before, but it may not be a good thing now."

"What makes you say that, Commander Yue?"

"The world is in chaos, and the ranch can't stay out of it."

"You fight for your territory, we'll do our business, and we'll keep to ourselves. Even if someone sets their sights on Pegasus Ranch, we won't back down!"

“Hehe, Sister Shang might not be so sure!” Wanwan, who had been silent all along, suddenly interjected.

These words made Shang Xiuxun blush, after all, she had just suffered a great loss at the hands of the other party.

That's not a vegetarian assessment; it's definitely a bit of self-praise.

"Sister Shang's large number of warhorses are highly sought after by all separatist forces. Other leaders may not be as understanding as our Holy King Brother and willing to trade fairly with you. Not to mention the four major bandits—Cao, Mao, Fang, and Xiang—who traverse the Yangtze River, have long been eyeing the Pegasus Ranch and have been trying to annex it."

The Yin Kui Sect has spies and traitors planted in many factions, and is very clear about the direction of the martial arts world.

Yue Zhuoqun gave Wanwan an approving look: "Although the Four Great Bandits are not weak, it will not be easy for them to take over the Pegasus Ranch. But don't forget Xiao Xian of Jiangling, he is not easy to deal with."

Xiao Xian is still the second-in-command of the Baling Gang. On the surface, he collects beauties for Yang Guang, but in secret, he is involved in the human trafficking business. There is also a man in the gang named Xiang Yushan, who uses his family's wealth to help the Baling Gang open brothels and gambling dens all over the country to gather information.

This made the Baling Gang extremely powerful.

After a while, the leader of the Baling Gang will die, and Xiao Xian, who will have complete control of the gang, will be able to unleash his full potential and become one of the warlords at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Given Xiao Xian's ambition and methods, he would never let go of the Pegasus Ranch, a natural base for warhorses.

Shang Xiuxun's idea of ​​being a merchant and not participating in the struggles of the world was completely wishful thinking.

Chapter 183 Wanwan's Request

Shang Xiuxun was speechless, her expression grim. Yue Zhuoqun's analysis of the situation was no exaggeration; it was indeed the crisis that Pegasus Ranch was about to face.

"Does Commander Yue have any good suggestions?"
