Chapter 88: Visiting the Lord of Silver Maple City (Please Subscribe)

Upon hearing these words, Zheng Huangjin widened his eyes.

He wanted to kick Li Guanxuan out directly!

What a joke! He was only at the early stage of Foundation Building, facing a hot-tempered peak Foundation Building demonic cultivator. He would be slapped to death in no time.

"You're trying to push your brother into a fire pit!"

Zheng Huangjin placed a protective talisman in the room to prevent eavesdropping.

He learned this trick from Li Guanxuan.

Then, Zheng Huangjin lowered his voice and said with a serious expression, "To be honest with you, I dare not go to the Lord's Mansion to discuss this matter. You should have heard about it. During the time when you were breaking through to Foundation Building, the Lord of Silver Maple City was constantly staring in the direction of your home. As soon as your lease expires after Foundation Building, he will immediately kick you out."

"If I go to the Lord's Mansion to plead for you, getting slapped in the face is the least of my worries. If I make this demonic cultivator unhappy, I won't even be able to leave the Lord's Mansion in one piece."

"Can't we offer some compensation?" Li Guanxuan didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

In his opinion, offering some pills and talismans would probably be acceptable to the Lord of Silver Maple City.

After all, it was a done deal. The Lord of Silver Maple City couldn't possibly abandon the development of this Spirit City. He wouldn't refuse valuable items like pills, talismans, and magical artifacts.

"It's difficult to discuss such matters with him."

Zheng Huangjin shook his head and sighed lightly. "The thoughts of demonic cultivators are different from ours. They are more straightforward and true to themselves. Since the Lord of Silver Maple City has made up his mind to kick you out, he will definitely not keep you."

Li Guanxuan took a sip of spiritual tea, his brows furrowed.

In this matter, Zheng Huangjin shouldn't be joking with him.

Do they really have to leave Silver Maple City?

Thinking of this, Li Guanxuan couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. He had run from Azure Serenity City to Shanggu City, and then from Shanggu City to Silver Maple City...

Now that he had reached Foundation Building, he was still without a stable place to stay.

"Does the Lord of Shanggu City know about this?" Li Guanxuan suddenly asked.

Zheng Huangjin narrowed his eyes, lowering his voice even further, so that only the two of them could hear.

"About his severe injuries and burning his life essence and blood?"

"Did Master tell you?" Li Guanxuan asked in surprise.

"Don't forget what Myriad Manifestations Pavilion does behind the scenes. Even if Ge Wen didn't say anything, we would still be able to find out," Zheng Huangjin chuckled. "Besides, with countless cultivators hunting demons and gathering herbs in the Crimson Flame Mountain Range, it's impossible for Shanggu City Lord to keep it a secret. He can only find ways to delay it."

"In fact, during the time you were in seclusion, breaking through to Foundation Building, Shanggu City Lord spread rumors that a mysterious alchemist has a thirty percent chance of refining the Golden Yuan Pill for him, and it can be successfully refined in a short period of time."

Li Guanxuan was taken aback. He didn't expect Shanggu City Lord to resort to such a move.

Mysterious alchemist, who does it refer to?

Who is the mysterious alchemist behind the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion?

This kind of vague statement sometimes makes people feel uneasy, after all, when faced with a fork in the road, many people hesitate.

Therefore, in recent years, there will probably be peace in Shanggu City.

It has been about a year and a half now, and the Shanggu City Lord has eight and a half years left of his ten-year lifespan. Subtracting the time to condense the Gold Core, he only has six and a half years left...

Li Guanxuan murmured, "In that case, if the Shanggu City Lord fails to condense the Gold Core within six and a half years, either someone will destroy him, or he will destroy the entire Shanggu City, not leaving his hard-earned foundation to anyone..."

He felt that the latter possibility was more likely.

Cultivators are selfish.

No one is willing to do something for others, especially someone like the Shanggu City Lord, who is experienced and constantly deals with the major powers such as Daheng, Daxuan, and Dazhou. He would never give away everything he has worked so hard to accumulate.

"Also, this guy is definitely someone who holds grudges and seeks revenge."

"I didn't agree to help him refine the Golden Yuan Pill, so he will definitely hold some resentment in his heart. Once he falls into a desperate situation, he will surely go crazy and dig me out, taking me down to hell with him..."

Li Guanxuan rubbed his temples with a headache. He never expected to get involved in such a mess.

Zheng Huangjin comforted, "Don't worry, if it really comes to that, the boss will definitely be prepared and won't just watch you die."

Li Guanxuan remained silent.

If the benefits are big enough, anyone would sell him out.

In the cultivation world, if you don't have strength, no one will pay attention to you.

It is because he understands alchemy and talisman drawing, and has some skills, that he can sit together with Liu Xiaoxian and Zheng Huangjin.

"No matter what, the Shanggu City Lord definitely holds a grudge against me. During this time, he will probably keep probing for information about me."

Li Guanxuan said in a deep voice, "Although I believe I haven't left any traces, there is always a loophole in every plan. I need to quickly step into the mid-stage of Foundation Building and prepare more self-defense measures."

After all, the master cannot always be by his side, and he also has three wives at home. Once the Shanggu City Lord finds this place, it will be a big trouble.

Analyzing up to this point, Li Guanxuan looked at Zheng Huangjin with a serious expression and said,

"No, I can't keep hiding, and besides, I don't know where to hide. If I encounter a peak Foundation Building cultivator near Shanggu City, I can at least hold on until the master arrives."

"If it's in other Spirit Cities and I encounter threats from peak Foundation Building cultivators, I won't have any other options."

Therefore, I have to stay in Silver Maple City. As long as I cultivate to the later stage or peak of Foundation Building, no one can threaten me here."

Hearing this, Zheng Huangjin asked straightforwardly, "What do you plan to do?"

"Join forces with the Silver Maple City Lord and kill the Shanggu City Lord."

Li Guanxuan said word by word, "I won't be able to keep my identity as an alchemist, but it's better to let one person know than everyone... Bro, accompany me to the City Lord's Mansion, talk to the Silver Maple City Lord, and bring some generous gifts along the way.

I don't believe that there are still people who are not interested in elixirs and talismans. The reason why the Lord of Silver Maple City firmly refused is probably because he thought the gift was too small."

"Alright."

Zheng Huangjin sighed lightly and advised, "You are now a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Building. If there is no other way, you can ask the boss to send someone to take you to Daheng Yongning Mansion."

At least after Li Guanxuan returns, he can still live on the outskirts of the Li family without worrying about his life.

"Without a son or daughter, will I be criticized and gossiped about when I go back?" Li Guanxuan said.

"..." Zheng Huangjin didn't say anything more.

Sometimes he also wondered if it was Li Guanxuan's problem.

After all, someone who cultivates two dual-cultivation secret techniques should at least have a voice.

"But it doesn't matter. In my current situation, I haven't even solved my own survival problem. Why would I have a child? Do I want him to come into this world and suffer with me, living a life of instability and wandering?" Li Guanxuan leaned back in his chair, his face filled with a relieved smile, and said, "My father, he not only doesn't take care of his children, but also treats his wives and concubines as tools. If their aptitude is poor, he directly throws them aside and doesn't even bother to give them milk.

My childhood was not very happy, so I don't want my future children to be like that...

When I truly become powerful in the future, it won't be too late to have children. If I can't live the life of a second-generation immortal, I should at least fulfill this wish for my child, right?"

Hearing Li Guanxuan's words, Zheng Huangjin also sat down with a smile, took out two jars of wine from his storage bag, and said, "It's the same for us cultivators who live at the bottom. Our childhoods were not good either.

But now your life is gradually getting better, and your cultivation has reached the Foundation Building stage. As long as you stay grounded and don't cause any trouble, it won't be a problem to form a pill within a hundred years."

Li Guanxuan picked up the wine jar and clinked it with Zheng Huangjin, smiling, and said, "Thanks to Brother Zheng's care, otherwise, I wouldn't have been so smooth."

"Where are you talking? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to succeed in Foundation Building either." Zheng Huangjin smiled.

Then the two looked at each other and laughed, drinking happily.

In life, having two or three true friends is already a blessing.

...

The next day.

Li Guanxuan and Zheng Huangjin went together to visit the Lord's Mansion of Silver Maple City.

When the Lord of Silver Maple City saw Li Guanxuan, his deep black eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

"Greetings, Lord." Li Guanxuan bowed and then presented a storage bag, saying, "This is a small gift from me. I hope the Lord will accept it."

The Lord of Silver Maple City didn't accept it, but asked, "I'm curious, with your alchemy skills, you can thrive anywhere. Why did you come to hide in my Silver Maple City?"

When the steward came to report earlier, he said that Zheng Huangjin personally brought people to apologize and brought some elixirs.

With just this sentence, the Lord of Silver Maple City understood that the mysterious alchemist who could refine a Foundation Building Pill with a thirty percent success rate was Li Guanxuan.

Otherwise, Zheng Huangjin wouldn't have protected him so much.

"I want some peace and quiet." Li Guanxuan said truthfully, "Lord, you can investigate my deeds. Since the day I entered Silver Maple City, I have never done anything wrong. I have never fought with other cultivators. I diligently practice alchemy and draw talismans in exchange for resources for cultivation."

"Two Life Gate Pills, two Poison Expelling Spirit Pills, all of them are top-quality... tsk, this alchemy skill is truly enviable." The Lord of Silver Maple City sighed.

Li Guanxuan remained silent.

If the Lord of Silver Maple City insisted on making him leave, then he would have no choice but to leave.

But the main purpose of his visit to the Lord of Silver Maple City this time was...

To pit the Lord of Shanggu City.

Since the Lord of Shanggu City was interested in him, he would let the Lord of Shanggu City taste what it's like to be constantly watched.

He would reveal his identity and state that he had not agreed to refine any Gold Element Pills for the Lord of Shanggu City.

Just this piece of news would be enough to make the Lord of Shanggu City unable to live a good life in his later years.

"Since you haven't agreed to refine Gold Element Pills for the Lord of Shanggu City, then in the future, would you agree to refine a Gold Element Pill for me?" The Lord of Silver Maple City narrowed his eyes and asked.

"I am confident in producing a Gold Element Pill of normal quality, but a Gold Element Pill with a thirty percent success rate..." Li Guanxuan shook his head helplessly, "Even if it costs me my life, I still wouldn't be able to refine it."

"Hahaha... good! Honest!" The Lord of Silver Maple City slapped his thigh and laughed heartily, "I like dealing with honest people. I have already sent someone to keep an eye on you. You are indeed honest and haven't done anything wrong. Otherwise, on the day you came out of seclusion, you would have been driven out of the city."

Upon hearing this, Li Guanxuan was momentarily stunned and gratefully said, "Thank you, Lord, for your mercy."

"It's not mercy." The Lord of Silver Maple City waved his hand and said, "Go find a place in the center yourself. I won't interfere in this matter."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Li Guanxuan and Zheng Huangjin both breathed a sigh of relief, and they both bowed.

...

After the two left.

The Lord of Silver Maple City smiled and said, "Wuji, your sister has a good eye. She found a good husband."
