Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Xu Qingzhou and the Sixth Elder quickly finalized the branch store plan.

That means opening two branches in Yuhe City and Yunshan City first.

In Huaidong County, the city of Lingyue was the center, and the territory spread out to the surrounding cities.

In Liangbei Commandery, the city of Yuhe served as the center, and development expanded outwards from there.

After we completely conquer these two counties, we'll go straight to Taixu City and the capital to open branches.

Apart from the two branches in Yuhe City and Yunshan City, the other stores will definitely have to cooperate with Wanbaoge.

After all, given the Xu family's resources and strength, if they went to some remote places where they were unfamiliar with the area, they would definitely be easily manipulated by the local forces.

If you're not careful, you might end up doing all the work for someone else.

However, Xu Qingzhou was not in a hurry. This was just a general plan, and they could take their time.

After finalizing the plan, Xu Qingzhou prepared to leave, but he didn't expect this.

When Xu Qingzhou went downstairs, he was surprised to find Xu Chu in the lobby on the first floor, where he was drinking.

These two new wines are indeed quite good, but it's a pity they're both newly brewed. If they were ten-year or even a hundred-year vintage, they would definitely taste even better.

This kid was disguised again. Just like last time at Miaoyin Pavilion, Xu Qingzhou wouldn't have been able to detect his presence if he hadn't heard his thoughts.

This left Xu Qingzhou both amused and exasperated.

You actually disguised yourself in your own shop? You're really something else!

Although Xu Muge and Xu Luo improved their cultivation quickly and had strong combat power, Xu Chu lived a very comfortable life. He tried everything that they had never experienced before, and even went through the experience two, three, seven, eight, nine, or even ten times.

In the entire Xu family, only Xu Qingzhou lived a more comfortable and carefree life than him; everyone else was far inferior to Xu Chu.

.....

Lingyue City Lord Qi Changming was celebrating his birthday and invited Xu Qingzhou to attend. Xu Qingzhou arrived at the City Lord's Mansion with a gift.

Since establishing himself in Lingyue City, Xu Qingzhou has been attending more and more banquets.

Today, an elder from one faction breaks through to the Purple Mansion or Primordial Spirit realm; tomorrow, the patriarch of another faction takes a concubine to celebrate his birthday, and there's an endless feast to be had.

Xu Qingzhou would naturally be happy to attend the banquet, but he would also have to give a gift each time.

No matter how much food and alcohol Xu Qingzhou can eat or drink, he can't break even; he can only try to minimize his losses.

The city lord's mansion was bustling with activity at this moment.

Compared to other cities, Qi Changming's prestige and status within the city were rather ordinary, unlike Ji Dongfang and Lü Zhen of Yunshan City, who were local tyrants.

Since Lingyue City is, after all, the territory of the Lingyue Sect, and Qi Changming is a person of the Great Qi Dynasty, coupled with the fact that there are many powerful forces in the city, his position in Lingyue City is somewhat awkward without much background.

Today is Qi Changming's birthday, and only one guest from Wanbaoge came; Yu Shufei didn't even come.

Xu Qingzhou and Qi Changming sat at the same table, where all the other people were at the Nascent Soul Realm. Xu Qingzhou was the only one at the Purple Mansion Realm, and he came from a fourth-rate power.

Just as most of the guests had arrived and the birthday banquet was about to begin, another person rushed in from outside.

This person is a hall master of the Bright Moon Society. He has known the city lord for decades and they have a very good relationship.

"Oh, Brother Zhao, you've finally arrived! I thought you'd forgotten about my old brother's matter," Qi Changming said with a smile as he stood up.

Master Zhao quickly bowed and apologized.

"I'm really sorry, as you know about the Huaixi County ruins, I personally led the team this time, and I came here immediately after returning."

This ruin is no ordinary site; most of the forces in the city have sent people there. Upon learning that Hall Master Zhao had just returned from there, everyone inquired with great curiosity.

"So the matter of the ruins is over?"

"What was the outcome? Who obtained the inheritance from the ruins?"

"Has Hall Master Zhao encountered any elders of my Pei family?"

Even Xu Qingzhou was very curious about what was happening inside the ruins, especially since Xu Muge and Xu Luo had also gone in.

After Zhao, the head of the hall, took his seat, he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Please don't be impatient, everyone. I will briefly explain the situation in the ruins."

It was clear he had just returned, looking travel-worn, as he picked up the cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

"Huh? What's this? It tastes pretty good."

Qi Changming explained, "This is a drink sold in the Xu family's newly opened restaurant. I bought it specially to treat you all."

Master Zhao looked at Xu Qingzhou and said, "I am truly sorry, Clan Chief Xu, for not being able to attend the opening ceremony. I hope you will not take offense."

When the site opened, the other party was in the ruins. How do I get there?

"Not at all. Just let me know when you'd like to visit another day, and I'll certainly welcome you with open arms," ​​Xu Qingzhou replied politely.

In reality, he wouldn't care about this person at all. A mere hall master, does he expect me to personally receive him? He can eat and drink whatever he wants himself!

Everyone else present was getting impatient. "Just say it already! Why are you chatting with someone else? We were thinking you two could have a private chat later."

Master Zhao drank another half cup before starting.

"The ruins in Huaixi County are the cave dwelling of a powerful figure. This can be seen from the remaining formations. This powerful figure definitely surpassed the strongest forces of the three great dynasties."

"There is a medicinal herb field inside, where extremely rare spiritual herbs have been left behind. They are all precious and rare natural treasures, which have attracted the attention of various forces."

"Of course, the most important thing about the ruins is a part of his legacy."

At this point, Master Zhao stopped, looking like he was keeping everyone in suspense, which made everyone so impatient they wanted to beat him up.

"What is inheritance? Who received it? Tell me!"

"Yes, let's not keep everyone in suspense!"

Master Zhao chuckled and began to explain.

"Please don't be in a hurry, everyone. Let's talk about the herb field first. It's clear that the best spiritual herbs inside have already been taken by the cave owner, and the rest are just some that he doesn't care about."

"Even so, these spiritual herbs, which have been growing for countless years, are all quite valuable. Even some of the spiritual herbs growing beside the herb field possess extremely strong spiritual energy."

"Among them, three spiritual herbs are the most precious, and they can even be used to refine pills for those in the Nascent Soul Realm."

"One of these three pills was obtained by the thirteenth prince, while the other two were obtained by two boys who appeared out of nowhere."

"The key point is that these two kids are only at the peak of the Profound Core Realm."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked astonished and began to question it.

"That doesn't make sense, Hall Master Zhao. As far as I know, most of those who enter the ruins are at the Purple Mansion Realm. Those at the Profound Core Realm are just cannon fodder. How could other powerful figures let two Profound Core Realm cultivators steal such a precious item?"

"Yes, but my Pei family sent two Purple Mansion Realm elders. Either of them could easily crush a Profound Core Realm expert."

"Most importantly, Huaixi County is the territory of the Taixu Sect. They must have arranged for many powerful experts to enter the ruins. I don't believe they can let two Xuan Dan Realm kids take away the good stuff so easily."
