Chapter 67 The Great Lake

"Fifth Brother!"

Xu Yuanlang obediently cupped his hands in greeting to Xu Yuankun, who looked at him with surprise.

"Are you Yuen Long?"

Seeing the other party's incredulous expression, Xu Yuanlang could only smile wryly and take out the token representing his identity from his pocket.

"It's me. It's normal that Fifth Brother doesn't recognize me after working for the Cao family for so many years."

Xu Yuankun took it and examined it carefully, then patted his head vigorously.

"It's Fifth Brother's fault. I didn't expect Yuan Lang's cultivation speed to be so fast."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xu Yuankun's face. His impression of Xu Yuanlang was basically just vague fragments from the past.

Moreover, he clearly remembered that this kid only had five spiritual roots and his cultivation speed should not be fast, but now Xu Yuanlang, who was talking to him, was only slightly inferior to him in strength.

Knowing that his talent was among the best in the Xu family, his first reaction was disbelief.

"A lot happened in between, it can't be explained in just a few words!"

Fifth Uncle led the two to the backyard, and after closing the gate, he laughed heartily.

"Yuan Kun, we owe a great debt to Yuan Lang this time, otherwise we would have suffered a huge loss."

Xu Yuanlang waved his hand and quickly said it was nothing, but Fifth Uncle still told him everything that had happened before.

"Aconite and jadeite clash when paired? This is the first time I've heard of this. Yuen Long, how did you know?"

"I started to have doubts when I heard him say that he bought Lumenis. I once saw an ancient book in the family library that recorded that two things should not be taken at the same time."

He was actually lying; there was no ancient book at all.

The reason I knew this was because a fragment of memory flashed through my mind when I heard the words "Luminous Pill".

It was left behind by the remnant soul of the Golden Core, which is why he chose to give it a try. However, since the matter of the remnant soul of the Golden Core is related to his companion spirit, he naturally cannot reveal it to others casually, not even his closest relatives.

"The family library contained a vast collection, but unfortunately, I was unable to peruse it all."

Xu Yuankun shook his head, looking very regretful. He didn't suspect anything, as this was a common occurrence.

"Cultivation is the priority, Fifth Brother, you don't need to worry about it!"

"I'm just expressing my feelings."

Fifth Brother shook his head with an amused expression. He then started talking about things on the mountain, his words carrying a testing tone. Xu Yuanlang knew that this meant his fifth brother did not completely trust him.

Since he knew his goods were genuine, he decided to test them as he pleased. Only after confirming that there were no problems did Xu Yuankun breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yuen Long, you didn't just come here to see us, you must have something else to do, right?"

"My coming here is actually related to my cultivation level. I am still lacking the two elements of Xuanquan and Fushui."

The area around Wuliang Mountain doesn't produce any aquatic energy, so my family recommended that I come to Nanpingfang Market.

Upon hearing that it was related to cultivation, Xu Yuankun immediately sat up straight.

"The water energy has come to the right place in Nanpingfang Market. This is a place where thousands of lakes converge, so the water energy of the Fu River is not hard to find."

There are three large lakes around Nanpingfang Market that produce the aura of Fushui.

These three large lakes are Nanshui, Xubo, and Dongcheng.

The largest lake, which produces the most aquatic energy, is Dongcheng Lake, which belongs to the Cao family. Once the aquatic energy appears, it is immediately taken away.

Therefore, you'd better focus your attention on Nanshui and Xubo. There are several families around these two large lakes, including the He family of white carp. I once helped them a lot.

I'll write you a letter and ask them to help you.

Xu Yuankun was about to write a letter without saying a word when Xu Yuanlang hurriedly grabbed him.

"Fifth Brother, there's no need for that! I can go by myself."

"You, going by yourself? The two large lakes are like vast oceans, and the stream of water is like a tiny drop of water. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack if you go alone."

Listen to me, take the letter there and ask them to help you.

Xu Yuankun reprimanded him, and Xu Yuanlang had no choice but to accept it.

"Thank you very much, Fifth Brother."

"No one in the family should refuse."

Xu Yuankun smiled, and soon Xu Zhenqu arranged a dinner for them. The Xu family members in the market gathered together and happily ate a meal, which also served as a way for them to get to know each other.

Just as they were enjoying their drinks, Li Zhimian was doing accounts at the counter of the Li family shop in Nanping Market when his clansmen, who had been searching for news, rushed back in a flurry.

"Eleventh Brother, Eleventh Brother, we've found out! This person is from the Xu family!"

"Oh?"

"I learned that this person is Xu Yuanlang, the twenty-third in the Xu family's Yuan generation. I heard that he came here to search for the Qi of the Fu River."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhimian put down his brush and began to secretly plot.

"If you want the Qi of Fushui, you must go to Nanshui and Xubo."

"Could you help me find out if the Xu family has any close connections in the Nanshui and Xubo area?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiqi smiled slightly and then asked.

"Eleventh Brother, are you getting ready!"

He made a throat-slitting gesture, and Li Zhimian tucked his hands back into his sleeves.

"Since this kid is ranked twenty-third, it proves that he is very young. At such a young age, he has already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, which proves that his cultivation speed is extremely fast."

If he grows up, things could get out of hand; I need to eliminate this threat to the family beforehand.

When Li Zhimian mentioned the eighth level of Qi Refining, there was even a hint of hatred in his voice.

He knew he was nothing special now, but he had suffered so much, and naturally, resentment arose in his heart.

"yes!"

Xu Yuanlang was unaware that he was being targeted. In fact, even if he was being targeted, he didn't care at all, since he had already overcome Foundation Establishment cultivators and Golden Core remnant souls along the way.

After resting for a night, he prepared to leave for Nanshui Lake at dawn the next day.

"In the letter, I asked the Ho family patriarch to help as much as possible. I'm sure he will do his best, but Yuen Long should still be careful."

"Yes, Fifth Brother."

Xu Yuanlang nodded in agreement, and Xu Yuankun was somewhat relieved to see his serious expression.

"However, Fifth Brother, you should carefully consider the suggestion I made at the banquet."

The Li family is now very ambitious and expanding in all directions. We need to find a way to make the Cao family more cautious. It would be even better if we could get the Cao family to take action against the Li family.

A bitter smile appeared on Xu Yuankun's face. He was not unaware of the importance of Xu Yuanlang's suggestion, but he also had his own difficulties.

"Yuan Lang, you overestimate Fifth Brother. I am just a lowly Qi Refining cultivator. How can I have a say in front of the behemoth that is the Cao family?"

"Once you've gathered the Qi of the Fu River, come back as soon as possible. I'll take you to meet a few people. I won't tell you much else, Fifth Brother. Have a safe journey."

Xu Yuanlang waved goodbye and strode towards the shore of Nanshui Lake.
