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

Xu Qingzhou thought he was already quite radical for killing Elder Zhou without a word, but he didn't expect Xu Luo, this reborn person, to be even more ruthless.

That makes sense, though. If he hadn't been ruthless, he wouldn't have lived so long in his previous life.

Xu Luo then asked, "Have you started refining the improved Qi Gathering Pill I gave you last time?"

"It was refined a long time ago, and it's already being sold to the public," Xu Qingzhou replied.

With the Lingyue Sect as their backer, there's no problem with doing this.

Xu Luo took out another box, "This was also given to me by my master, and it's similar to the last one."

Xu Qingzhou scanned the area with his divine sense, and sure enough, it was about the same.

Another cultivation technique, two martial arts skills, and one pill formula.

These are all rare and valuable items that cannot be bought even with spirit stones.

"Alright, let's not stand on ceremony between us."

Xu Luo nodded affirmatively.

After confirming the time to go to Lingyue City, Xu Luo left.

Xu Qingzhou opened the box he had given her.

The cultivation technique and two martial arts skills are still of the low-grade Earth rank, making them especially precious.

The Cui family, who previously dominated Yuhe City, only cultivated a fragmented, low-grade Earth-rank cultivation technique.

Only third-rate forces are qualified to possess complete Earth-rank cultivation techniques.

The Xu family, now at the bottom of the fourth tier, already has two works.

Such good things are naturally always welcome, since everyone is different and the suitable methods of practice vary.

Finally, there's the pill formula, this time an improved version of the Consciousness Condensation Pill.

The three basic realms of cultivators are: body tempering, qi gathering, and spiritual absorption.

Body tempering is the process of tempering the body and cleansing the marrow.

Gathering Qi is absorbing spiritual energy into the body, transforming it into true essence, and storing it in the dantian.

The process of "absorbing spirits" is the opening of one's sea of ​​consciousness, allowing for the initial use of divine sense.

This Consciousness Condensation Pill is for cultivators in the Spirit Gathering Realm; it can be used to condense and enhance their divine sense.

Ninety-nine percent of spirit-gathering cultivators cannot do without the Consciousness Condensation Pill, therefore this kind of pill has greater value and demand, and a larger market.

"Just like last time, refine them first for internal family use, and then sell them to the outside world once production stabilizes."

Xu Qingzhou believed that with Xu Luo around, the Xu family could completely develop alchemy into a major source of income and a pillar industry.

After all, cultivators cannot do without pills, weapons, arrays, and runes, among which pills and weapons are especially important.

.....

The Great Qi Dynasty is a top-tier power, and within the dynasty, there are three first-class powers that are second only to the dynasty.

They are Lingyue Sect, Taixu Sect, and Wanbao Pavilion.

Compared to Lingyue Sect and Taixu Sect, Wanbao Pavilion may have slightly less foundation, but it is extremely wealthy. It is rumored that Wanbao Pavilion is involved in all business related to cultivators.

Wanbaoge has three main stores, located in Lingyue City, Taixu City, and Daqi Imperial Capital.

Branch stores were scattered throughout the entire Great Qi Dynasty, in cities large and small.

Even Yunshan City, where the Xu family used to live, had a Wanbaoge, which shows its strength in commerce.

Every year, a Wanbaoge flagship store holds a large-scale auction, where all kinds of rare and precious materials and exotic beasts appear, attracting a large number of cultivators to participate. This year, the auction is held in Lingyue City.

The already bustling Lingyue City is now even more crowded.

The auction started in the afternoon, and it was almost noon when Xu Qingzhou finally arrived in Lingyue City with Xu Luo.

Xu Luo asked curiously, "Will my cousin Mu Ge come to the auction? I'd like to meet him."

The fact that he was accepted as a disciple by the Supreme Elder shows that he has exceptional talent. With my experience, I should be able to discern some of his abilities and offer him some guidance.

Xu Qingzhou's eyes lit up. That's right, Xu Luo had cultivated for nearly a thousand years in his previous life and had already left the Great Qi Dynasty for a wider world.

With his knowledge and experience, he should have a more intuitive understanding of Xu Muge's top talent.

Although he might not be able to see through everything, his guidance was definitely more effective than that of Su Xin, the Supreme Elder of the Lingyue Sect.

If Xu Luo hadn't already left home when Xu Muge was discovered, Xu Qingzhou would definitely have asked him to mentor Xu Muge.

Xu Qingzhou said, "You really need to meet."

He originally did not intend to disturb Xu Muge's cultivation, but this opportunity was rare, Xu Luo's guidance was extremely valuable, and the sooner the better.

Xu Luo suggested, "Let's go to Wanbaoge first; maybe he's here too."

Xu Qingzhou nodded. They had originally planned to find a place to rest, but instead went straight to Wanbaoge.

Wanbaoge is located in the very center of Lingyue City. It is a magnificent complex of buildings, with an ancient and grand atmosphere. The three characters "Wanbaoge" on the plaque are particularly special.

At first glance, the writing is simple and not even considered good, but upon closer inspection, one discovers that it contains hidden secrets.

Legend has it that these three characters were written by the current head of Wanbaoge Pavilion, and they contain his cultivation philosophy. If anyone can comprehend even a little bit of it, it will definitely have many wonderful uses for their own cultivation path.

Therefore, many cultivators would stop to observe and contemplate the Myriad Treasures Pavilion when passing by.

Xu Muge glanced at it subconsciously, inwardly complaining.

"This handwriting is terrible, even worse than mine."

Xu Luo also looked up and saw the words. He paused slightly, then smiled knowingly after examining them carefully.

[So it was that old man's handwriting. No wonder it felt familiar.]

Xu Qingzhou was surprised. It seemed that Xu Luo knew this important figure from Wanbaoge, but that was from a previous life.

Entering the bustling Wanbaoge, Xu Qingzhou went straight to the manager, who was so busy he barely had time to breathe.

"Shopkeeper, have the people from the Spirit Moon Sect arrived yet?"

The shopkeeper subconsciously sized up Xu Qingzhou.

"Many disciples and elders from the Lingyue Sect have arrived. Who are you looking for?"

Since it's so close by, almost everyone who comes will come to take a look.

Xu Qingzhou asked, "The one with the highest status?"

Given Xu Muge's status, there shouldn't be any elder in the Lingyue Sect who doesn't recognize him.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately became serious and also became quite curious about Xu Qingzhou's identity.

"Two inner sect elders of the Lingyue Sect are resting in private room A3 on the second floor right now."

Xu Qingzhou cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Qingzhou and Xu Luo arrived at the auction venue, where he spotted Wu Wendong, a true disciple of the Seven Star Sect, in the crowd.

The last time they met was at Lü Zhen's birthday banquet. They hadn't even exchanged a single word, so Xu Qingzhou pretended not to see them. He found the third private room on the second floor and knocked on the door.

The door to the private room opened, and a young man dressed in the robes of an inner disciple of the Lingyue Sect stood before him. He asked in confusion.

What brings you two here?

Xu Qingzhou asked, "Are the two inner sect elders of the Lingyue Sect in this private room?"

At that moment, a peaceful voice came from inside.

"Let them in."

Xu Qingzhou and Xu Luo met two inner sect elders of the Lingyue Sect. Their auras were as deep and vast as the ocean, and even though they had concealed them, Xu Qingzhou still found it difficult to look them in the eye.

"What brings you two here?"

Xu Qingzhou cupped his hands and asked, "Excuse me, I am Xu Qingzhou, the head of the Xu family and Xu Muge's cousin. I would like to ask if he has attended this auction."
