When Lu Chen and Lu Quan returned to the square and saw that there was still a fifth left of the second incense stick, Lu Quan heaved a sigh of relief. After all, Lu Chen handing over the Qing Xuan Residence to him was a huge blow to him if he was impulsive enough to not stay in Spirit State.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, have you fulfilled my request?" Hua Xiang asked Lu Chen and Lu Quan in surprise.

"En, we do not disappoint you, Fellow Daoist Hua. Here are ten thousand Spirit Stones for you to take a look." Lu Chen took out the spirit stones he sold in his storage ring and passed them to Hua Xiang.

Hua Xiang took the Spirit Stones and calculated that it was indeed ten thousand Spirit Stones. At this time, a person walked out of the plaza and whispered into Hua Xiang's ear. After hearing this, Hua Xiang raised his head and forced a smile, "Congratulations, Fellow Lu.

"Fellow Hua, the members of the Allied Trade Association have yet to return. Everything has yet to be decided." Lu Chen said indifferently.

Hua Xiang and Lu Chen did not say anything else. Instead, they went to the square together and waited for the members of the Allied Trade Association to return.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, the second stick of incense was burnt through. However, the members of the Allied Trade Association were still nowhere to be seen, and Hua Xiang couldn't help but become anxious. "Why haven't the people from the Allied Trade Association returned yet? It should be easy to complete the mission with that person." Hua Xiang muttered to himself.

Lu Chen's heart was also filled with doubt. He knew that Wang Jun was not an ordinary person, and judging from his performance today, Wang Jun was very confident in this mission. However, he was still not back yet.

Just when Lu Chen and Hua Xiang were wondering if something had happened to Wang Jun and the rest, they saw Wang Jun bringing his two Foundation Establishment cultivators away from a far away place.

"Senior Lu, Senior Hua." Wang Jun walked over and greeted Lu Chen and Hua Xiang in an indifferent manner.

"Wang Jun, why have you just returned? Where are the others from the Allied Trade Association?" Hua Xiang asked.

"The other members of the Allied Trade Association thought that this mission was impossible to complete, so they gave up on it. I wanted to try and see if I could finish or if I failed. " Wang Jun pretended to be helpless.

"So you're saying you didn't sell the Qi Gathering Powder for ten thousand Spirit Stones?" Hua Xiang asked.

"Yes, I only sold it for ten spirit stones." Wang Jun faked embarrassment as he took out ten spirit stones from his storage ring.

"Since that's the case, it's Qing Xuan's victory." Hua Xiang originally wanted to ask why Wang Jun acted like he lost, but when he saw Wang Jun winking at him, he replied with dissatisfaction.

"That's great! Third Brother, we won." Lu Quan said excitedly.

Lu Chen also had a faint smile on his face, but from his frown, it could be seen that Lu Chen was very dissatisfied with this result.

"Congratulations, Senior Lu." Wang Jun said with a faint smile.

"It's just a fluke. If there's nothing else, we want to go back and tell the people in the store the good news." Lu Chen said with a faint smile.

"Then take care, Fellow Daoist Lu." Hua Xiang said politely.

Lu Chen and Hua Xiang courteously went back to the Qing Xuan Residence.

Seeing that Lu Chen and Lu Quan had already left, Lu Chen was sure that their conversation would not be overheard by Hua Xiang. He turned around and asked, "Elder Wang, why did you deliberately lose to Lu Chen?" He had guessed Lu Chen's identity the moment he saw it. After all, the Treasure Yuan Tower's information network was related to the entire Sky Dragon Continent. However, he did not expose Lu Chen even if he did not say anything.

"Because compared to the people from the Allied Trade Association, Lu Chen is more valuable." Wang Jun said with a faint smile.

"But Lu Chen is also ambitious. It can be seen from how he opened the Azure Pavilion Residence to sell things that we don't do." Hua Xiang said anxiously.

"So what if you have ambitions? As long as we take advantage of his ambitions, he can easily control us. " Wang Jun lightly said.

"But …" Hua Xiang wanted to continue.

"I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, Lu Chen won't be able to escape the net I set up for him." Wang Jun said confidently.

When Hua Xiang saw how confident Wang Jun was, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and followed him back to the Treasure Yuan Tower.

Lu Chen did not return to the Qing Xuan Residence at all. Instead, he went to the Bai Xuan residence that he had visited earlier. Seeing the dilapidated door, Lu Chen smiled faintly and knocked politely on the door.

"Knock knock knock." Bai Xuan was in his room, studying the Yin Soul Grass he had just obtained when he heard a knock on the door. He wanted to continue his research, but his mood was disturbed by the knock on the door when he unhappily opened the door and asked: "Who is it, I don't know. Why is it you guys? " Bai Xuan looked at Lu Chen and Lu Quan in shock, not understanding what the two of them had meant by coming here again.

"Fellow Bai, sorry to bother you again." Lu Chen smiled apologetically.

"Leave those who bother us alone for now. Didn't you guys just leave and come back? Don't tell me that you want to exchange the Yin Yang Infant Grass for something else?" Bai Xuan gripped the Yin Yang Infant Grass tightly as he spoke.

"Fellow Bai, you misunderstand. Since I gave you the Yin Infant Grass, how could I take it back? Furthermore, we are exchanging it for an equal price." Lu Chen said with a faint smile.

Bai Xuan was relieved upon hearing that Lu Chen wasn't here to pick up the Yin Yang Infant Grass. He then asked in doubt, "Then what are you guys here for?"

"To tell you the truth, I have heard about you in our Spirit State City. Moreover, from the looks of it, you are as destitute as they said." Lu Chen said.

He was indeed down and out, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the Treasure Yuan Tower was a colossus that he couldn't take on by force, "I'm indeed down and out, but what does that have to do with you?" Bai Xuan said.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lu Chen. I have a shop in Spirit State City called 'Qing Xuan Residence'. I think you've heard of it, right?" Lu Chen asked.

"Mn, I know that Qing Xuan Residence." Bai Xuan said indifferently.

"Since Fellow Bai knows about my Green Xuan Residence, I would like to invite you to be my alchemist. Are you willing?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you must be joking." Bai Xuan said with a cold expression.

Lu Chen smiled faintly: "Could it be that Fellow Bai thinks that my sincerity is not enough?"

"Do you know that I have been banned by the Treasure Yuan Tower? No one is allowed to ask me to refine pills?" Bai Xuan asked.

"I already knew about this a long time ago, but so what? The servant wouldn't care if this person had enmity with others or was banned like you. The most important thing is if he has any value." Lu Chen said calmly.

Bai Xuan fell into deep thought when he heard Lu Chen's words. In less than two years, he would truly be poor and would no longer have a place to stay. Furthermore, Lu Chen having him refine pills was originally his favorite, so he couldn't think of a reason to reject it. "If you say so, I will." Bai Xuan looked up and said.

"Lu Quan, go back and have them set up a feast to welcome Fellow Bai." Lu Chen said to Lu Quan with a smile.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Lu Quan still had some objections towards Lu Chen using Bai Xuan, but he knew that it would be difficult to say in front of Bai Xuan, so he decided to go back to the Lu family to make preparations.

Seeing that Lu Quan had left, Lu Chen helped Bai Xuan pack up some of his belongings before taking Bai Xuan with him to the Lu Family.

Arriving at the Lu family's Lu Chen and arranging Bai Xuan into an independent small courtyard, Bai Xuan looked at the small courtyard that was many times better than his original residence and felt gratitude towards Lu Chen. After packing his things, Bai Xuan followed Lu Chen to the front hall.

In the lobby, Lu Yun and the Lu family's current leaders all came to wait for Lu Chen and Bai Xuan after hearing Lu Quan's words.

Lu Chen brought Bai Xuan to the front hall to introduce Bai Xuan to the family members. Moreover, he told everyone that Bai Xuan was going to be an alchemist of the Lu family, causing the people of the Lu family to be excited. After all, if a family had an alchemist, then this family could be considered a second-rate family. The Lu family had wanted to hire an Alchemist before, but because of the limited funds at that time, they didn't invite anyone. Later on, although Lu Chen also knew how to refine pills, Lu Chen had focused most of his energy on cultivation and didn't have the time to specifically study these pills. Now that he had invited Bai Xuan, he could be considered to have saved a lot of work.

Bai Xuan quickly got to know the members of the Lu family. Seeing that Bai Xuan had no problems, Lu Chen told them to return to his room.

Lu Chen was lying in his room looking at the beams, but he was unable to calm down. "It's time to refine the Magic Treasure." Lu Chen muttered to himself. I'm afraid I am the only one who has reached the Aurous Core stage and refined his own life treasure. " Lu Chen mocked himself. After all, even an itinerant cultivator of the Aurous Core stage would prepare a life treasure for himself. As for Lu Chen, because something happened to the Lu family not long after he reached the Core Formation stage, he went back to the Lu family. Later on, he went to the Cloud Prefecture and went to the Deathly Forest Secret Realm.

Over the next few days, Lu Chen locked himself in his room and wholeheartedly refined his own Destiny Magic Treasure. Actually, he had long since thought of what kind of Destiny Magic Treasure he would refine and had already prepared the materials beforehand.

While Lu Chen was refining his own Destiny Magic Treasure, the people from the Treasure Yuan Tower would come every two days to see if Lu Chen would come out of seclusion. On the other hand, Wang Jun actually stayed in the Lu Family, and said that he was waiting for Lu Chen to come out.

Lu Chen was carefully controlling the fire in his hand. Today was the eleventh day since he had refined his Destiny Magic Treasure, and Lu Chen had already turned all the materials he had prepared into molten metal. As for Lu Chen, he was responsible for creating the prototype of a long sword that he wanted to use slowly.

The prototype of the sword Lu Chen was holding, and he inserted it into the array, following which runes appeared one after another. Lu Chen's sword turned from a dark red color to a white sword, and this sword had a powerful aura.

"I'll call you Fiery Cloud from now on." Lu Chen said with a faint smile.

After refining the sword, Lu Chen rested for another day before replenishing the spiritual force he had expended.

The next day, when Lu Chen walked out of his room and looked at the dazzling sun, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After a while, he opened his eyes and opened them again.

"Senior Lu, you've finally come out of closed door cultivation." When Wang Jun heard that Lu Chen had come out of seclusion, he immediately brought his followers to find Lu Chen.

"Wang Jun, why are you here?" Lu Chen asked Wang Jun in confusion.

"Because he said he had something he wanted to ask you for, but he didn't say anything in the end." Lu Quan walked over and said helplessly to Lu Chen.
