"Master, you're... done already?!"

"Holy Lord!"

Seeing Huang Yunya looking at him, Li Zhen immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and said:

"This medicine box was given to me by Ma Yunteng, the head of the Ma Clan. I had no idea it would turn out like this."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give the Holy Land an explanation."

As he spoke, sweat beaded on his forehead.

This is a terrible mistake. If this isn't handled properly, my path to promotion might be over.

That's why Qin Jiuxiao is still alright at this moment.

Otherwise, he didn't dare to think about what might happen next.

Huang Yunya didn't say anything, but with a flick of his sleeve, he got up and left.

Upon seeing this, the other elders couldn't help but shake their heads.

"As expected, something fishy must be going on. The pills are preserved so well; there's definitely something wrong with them."

"Yes, but the quality of this pill's preparation is truly impressive. Although I didn't examine it closely, I didn't find any clues."

Only Elder Yun, who had spoken earlier, looked quite uneasy. He looked at Li Zhen and said:

"To produce a fake pill to this extent is something most forces couldn't do. You should investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Elder Yun is right."

Li Zhen nodded quickly:

"I will definitely investigate this thoroughly when I get back."

Qin Jiuxiao confirmed it countless times.

I think I'm alright, nothing too serious.

Suddenly, a complex and indescribable emotion welled up inside me.

In life, the most frightening thing is experiencing great ups and downs.

I thought I was lucky, that my opportunity had come.

As a result, the intentional prank left him feeling both anxious and frightened.

In the end, it was all for naught.

He thought that with this pill, he could temporarily change his current situation.

And the result?

It's all bullshit!

"I'll go back and rest now."

Taking a deep breath, Qin Jiuxiao spoke.

With the elders present, the restlessness at this moment was still unsettling.

"Very well, if you feel unwell, remember to send a telepathic message for help," the elder instructed.

Before long, they returned to their lodgings.

"Master Qin."

Seeing Qin Jiuxiao walk back and no one around, Liu Qingyan spoke with some difficulty.

Arriving at the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, it was nothing like what I had imagined.

Qin Jiuxiao is definitely not just the person he was at first glance.

But there was no turning back.

Qin Jiuxiao paused, glanced at Liu Qingyan, and said:

"Come over."

Feeling frustrated and needing a healthy outlet.

The two entered the house one after the other.

The rustling sound of clothes being undressed was followed by Liu Qingyan's solo talent show.

About Sanxi later, Liu Qingyan's voice rang out, tinged with disbelief:

"Master, hello... are you done?!"

After a moment of silence, a sharp "snap" was heard, followed by an angry whisper:

"Shut up and get out!"

A moment later, Liu Qingyan came running out in a panic, his clothes disheveled, with a bloody palm print on his cheek and blood at the corner of his mouth.

Bang! Bang!

Inside the house, the sounds of things being smashed and broken could be heard.

And Qin Jiuxiao's furious roar.

"What good thing happened to Elder Li? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Not far from Qin Jiuxiao's place, Li Zhen heard a sound coming from there.

Li Zhen glanced at the person who spoke, his expression darkened, and he ignored them, walking straight away.

"This reaction doesn't seem like anything good."

Cheng Qian murmured, his expression shifting slightly:

"Could it be that the Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill failed to be extracted?"

He paused, then shook his head repeatedly:

"No, no, if he hadn't opened it, he wouldn't have looked so grim and left in such a hurry. Something must have gone wrong, and he's rushing to settle scores."

"Therefore, the problem must be with the elixir."

Cheng Qian had a rough idea.

He had actually been paying attention to this matter.

After all, when he was bragging last time, he actually bumped into Sword Immortal in person.

He dared not be careless about the matter between the Ma Clan and the Xiao Clan.

Initially, I was only monitoring the movements of the two companies.

He also knew about Xiao Zhong giving Ma Yunteng the medicine box and other things.

Originally, he was still waiting for the other party to give it to him.

But unexpectedly, the other party transferred the goods to the Li Clan.

He was quite unhappy that he didn't get a good deal.

I just happened to run into Li Zhen heading towards the core area today. After thinking it over, I figured it might be because of that Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill.

If it were him, he would also want to use it to build relationships.

However, judging from the current situation, not giving it to him might actually be a good thing.

"I don't know if it's really because of the pills, but I still have to go to the Ma Clan."

The matter of the Sword Immortal cannot be taken lightly.

He didn't know where the Xiao Clan got their elixirs, but if something really went wrong, it might drag the Xiao Clan into it.

Given the Holy Land's methods, neither the Xiao Clan nor the Ma Clan are of any use.

The Ma Clan doesn't matter, but the Xiao Clan is something the Sword Immortal is paying attention to.

Moreover, judging from the Xiao Clan's situation, the Holy Land was clearly unaware that the Sword Immortal was paying attention to the Xiao Clan.

He's been navigating the underworld for years, climbing the ranks and accumulating resources through women and connections—it's not just about bragging.

You're not smart, but that won't get you anywhere.

At that moment, Cheng Qian decisively rushed to the Ma Clan at full speed.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, I'm already a bit annoyed that Ma Yunteng's first thought wasn't to give me the item, so I'll deal with it first and see what happens.

"Speaking of which, what was the purpose of that fake pill you concocted, System?"

On Hidden Origin Peak, Lu Changzhi asked.

Just now, the system notified me that I had obtained a portion of my luck from the precious Qin Jiuxiao.

I estimated that it was probably because Qin Jiuxiao had taken the pill.

However, it came a little earlier than originally expected.

"Reporting to Master," the system said.

"That pill can help Qin Jiuxiao improve his luck."

"Improve your luck?" Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

This sounds like it's much better than the Soul-Strengthening Demonic Pill.

The system then provided further explanation.

After listening, Lu Changzhi shook his head.

He had originally planned to try it himself, but after understanding the principle, it became clear that he couldn't.

The way to improve this is to gather the surrounding energy and fortune into oneself, thereby improving one's unfavorable fortune.

It can be roughly understood as a pattern that is exactly the opposite of the "Blessing Others" of the Fugui.

However, the system's starting point was good.

Having been benefactors twice by Lu Changzhi, if one's luck doesn't keep up, the frequency and quality of opportunities will not only decrease.

Simply put, to prevent a poor harvest in the future, the system used fake pills to fertilize Qin Jiuxiao.

"If the system had a physical form, it would probably be a cotton-padded coat."

Lu Changzhi thought to himself.

Nothing more than that, so thoughtful!

However, given his current state, he won't believe him if he claims he doesn't know how to farm.

I glanced at the store.

The random discounts were surprisingly "generous" once again.

2% off.

For items with discounts higher than 30%, I usually just glance at them and move on.

"It's about time."

After glancing at the System Enhancement, Lu Changzhi said softly.

Tomorrow, we can upgrade the system again.

There was no need for much consideration; it was Mu Fan's turn.

The Idle System urgently needs improvement!

Inside the Heavenly Azure Ruins.

Mu Fan opened the system and took a look:

"Tomorrow will mark another month; hopefully, you can provide some useful information."

With a soft voice, Mu Fan exited the system.

Sensing something, Mu Fan looked outside and, with a hint of surprise, saw Xiao Ye rushing towards him. He smiled and said:

"Junior brother, what made you decide to go for a stroll?"
