120: In March, free medicine

Young Master Xu, there's actually another way to resolve your Xu Family's crisis!

Tang Yuan thought for a moment, then added.

“Oh?”

Xu Qing's eyebrow twitched as he asked.

“Was your Xu Family’s ancestor one of the families that participated in the war back then?” Tang Yuan asked directly.

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

“I’m not clear about my Xu Family’s history. Is there some significance to this?” Xu Qing inquired.

“The Saints once declared that if any of the ancient Emperors or Saints who participated in the war were to revive, they could go to the Tianwu Imperial Domain to receive rewards. And the descendants of the families who participated in the war would also receive the protection and rewards of the Tianwu Imperial Domain.”

Tang Yuan looked at Xu Qing with burning eyes.

“So that’s how it is. What a pity my Xu Family isn’t one of them!” Xu Qing shook his head.

He had already thoroughly investigated the Xu Family's main lineage in the Ming Domain. The Xu Family's rise originated from a Venerable Realm expert a million years ago, who unfortunately perished due to the Human-Demon War. That individual was merely a Loose Cultivator who had obtained an Opportunity, and there was no distinguished background before that.

Of course, too much time had passed, so it was hard to say.

Even if it were true, the Xu Family didn't need to rely on others' protection.

The Xu Family currently lacked territory after leaving the Tianguan Realm, and these three Emperor Domains would serve as the Xu Family's base. If they couldn't initiate a war due to the Tianwu Imperial Domain's protection, that would be a huge problem.

This was not what he wanted to see.

For future development, the Xu Family's departure from the Tianguan Realm was imperative!

Tang Yuan was filled with doubt upon hearing this.

Could it be that a second Saint was involved in the battle here back then?

Because he could discern the extraordinary nature of this grand hall, which stemmed from the power of a Saint. As a member of a Saint Family, he had seen Saints from afar and would never forget that aura.

Clearly, this grand hall was a Saint Weapon, and the few Saint Weapons in the Tianguan Realm back then were either sealed in Saint tombs or disappeared with those four families.

Now that a Saint Weapon had appeared, he suspected if it belonged to one of those four families.

It seems I need to go back and consult the historical records.

Tang Yuan mused inwardly.

“Young Master Xu, with matters here concluded, I shall take my leave!” Tang Yuan said, cupping his hands.

Xu Qing enthusiastically urged him to stay, saying, “If you have no urgent matters, both of you should stay a few more days. I can then properly fulfill my duties as host.”

“My apologies, Young Master Xu, Tang is here on orders and must return to report!” Tang Yuan said, cupping his hands apologetically.

“Very well! Then, once the Xu Family emerges from the Tianguan Realm, we shall drink and converse happily!” Xu Qing said with a smile.

“Then it’s settled!” Tang Yuan agreed.

Of course, only he knew what he truly thought inside.

After seeing the two off, Xu Qing sent a message to Xu Ming, indicating that the Clan Chief's grand ceremony could proceed.

After the Clan Chief's grand ceremony, he would begin his great tomb-excavation plan. Conveniently, the System's Mall had many talents in this area.

Hehehe… Following Xu Qing’s message, all Xu Family members above the Elder rank gathered in the Elder Hall to hold a public meeting to elect a Clan Chief.

Of course, this was merely a formality.

Thus, the entire Xu Family mobilized to prepare for the Clan Chief's grand ceremony.

Xu Qian, who had just emerged from the Treasure Pavilion, saw this scene and left the core area alone. For the next few days, this place would be bustling with the Xu Family's festivities, and as someone burdened with the identity of a sinner, he likely wouldn't be qualified to participate.

“Qian’er, you’ve been wronged!” Zhao Xingzhou’s aged voice echoed in his ears.

He knew Xu Qian did all this for him, and he felt a pang of discomfort in his heart.

“Teacher, if not for you, there would be no Xu Qian today. This kindness is greater than the heavens. These are just minor difficulties, and I am not afraid. Moreover, returning to the Xu Family is not a bad thing for me.”

“My visit to the Treasure Pavilion just now made it very clear that the Xu Family can help me grow rapidly!” Xu Qian said with a smile, his words full of drive.

“That’s good. Your Young Master is truly extraordinary!”

Zhao Xingzhou couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

As the two chatted, they soon walked out of the Xu Family's core area. Just as they passed a certain spot, on a mountain peak ahead, a young man in green robes stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant setting sun.

Xu Qian, due to his status, wanted to bypass him, but no matter which direction he tried to go, the man in green always remained in front of him, and even the setting sun was exactly the same.

At this point, how could he not understand that this was a powerful expert, and that the other party was deliberately waiting for him.

“Your Excellency, may I ask why you are looking for Xu Qian?” Xu Qian asked, cupping his hands, neither humble nor arrogant.

“Are you from the Qingyang Lineage?”

A youthful voice entered Xu Qian’s ears.

“Yes!” Xu Qian did not hesitate.

At this moment, the man in green turned around. Xu Qian's expression changed slightly upon seeing him.

In the Xu Family, one could not recognize anyone else, but not recognizing Young Master Xu Qing was a grave offense. In the largest square of the clan, there stood a hundred-zhang tall statue, and that was Xu Qing.

“Xu Qian greets Young Master!” Xu Qian quickly bowed, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't know why this person would specifically come to block him.

“No need for such formality! And no need to be nervous!” Xu Qing waved his hand, “I heard the Grand Elder speak of you. Since you are willing to accept the conditions offered, I will await you to cleanse your lineage’s sins!”

“Young Master, rest assured, after me, my descendants will never betray the clan. If the lineage of my descendants is ever cut off, those who live will have their Dao path severed, with no possibility of further advancement!” Xu Qian swore a Heavenly Dao oath with his Bloodline.

Xu Qing smiled, not caring about his oath, because he was confident that no one could resist the will of the main lineage.

“I heard you are an Alchemist?”

“Yes, Young Master!” Xu Qian didn't know Xu Qing's intentions, so he could only answer truthfully.

“Here is an Alchemy treasure manual and a few Spiritual Plants. I hope you make good use of them.”

Xu Qing gave Xu Qian a meaningful look, then tossed him a ring.

“You can participate in the Acquired Clan Chief's grand ceremony. At least you have the Xu Family's Bloodline in you.”

Xu Qian was startled, but seeing the ring, he subconsciously took it. When he looked up again, Xu Qing had already disappeared.

“Xu Qian thanks Young Master!”

Xu Qian quickly bowed respectfully towards the Family's direction to express his gratitude.

He was very excited, because Xu Qing's appearance meant that the Xu Family had accepted his existence, even though he was still a sinner.

He probed the storage ring with his Divine Sense. Inside, there was a book and five jade boxes.

After taking them out, he eagerly flipped through the book. The next second, his expression changed slightly, because the author of this Alchemy treasure manual was actually an Alchemist specializing in Soul-type Medicinal Pills, and moreover, an Alchemy Emperor.

Due to Zhao Xingzhou, he was currently most lacking in this aspect of Alchemy, as even Zhao Xingzhou, an Alchemy Saint, had not delved much into Soul-related Alchemy.

Due to the special reasons of the Martial Dao Realm, Medicinal Pills related to Realm were the most sought after, and most Alchemists primarily focused on this area.

But how did Xu Qing know that he needed this kind of Alchemy technique?

He then looked at the five jade boxes, opening them to inspect their contents.

“Tranquil Spirit Flower!”

“Star God Spiritual Plant”

“Purple Soul Dragon Imperial Ganoderma!”

Xu Qian's eyes widened. Opening just three jade boxes sent a shock through his mind, because these three medicinal ingredients were all exactly what he needed.

To condense a Physical Body for his teacher, the Heaven-Heart Soul-Melding Pill was required. This was a Saint Pill, needing seven Saint-grade main ingredients and forty-nine Emperor-grade auxiliary ingredients.

These three Emperor-grade medicinal ingredients were three of those auxiliary ingredients.

He quickly opened the remaining two jade boxes, which contained the other two auxiliary ingredients.

“It seems your Young Master just now already discovered my existence!”

Just then, Zhao Xingzhou’s voice came, his expression now somewhat complex.

Recalling Xu Qing's gaze, he wondered why he felt as if he had been seen through. It turned out the other party truly knew of his existence.

“Your Young Master is very likely the Reincarnation of an unrivaled magnate, or even the Reincarnation of a Great Emperor.”

“What?!”

Xu Qian’s pupils contracted.
