  Yaowang Gang's Pharmaceutical Trading Conference in Zhujici County Town, on the eve of the event.

  A large, unmarked carriage quietly arrived in the county town of Zhujici under the cover of night and amidst the bustling streets, entering the residence of the Medicine King Hall. It was arranged by Li Pingxi, the young master himself, to stay in the East Garden Villa, which only the most honored guests were qualified to enter.

  Outside the wall of the entire courtyard, there were as many as thirty or forty of the most elite Medicine King Gang's top-notch masters, setting up traps and ambushes to guard it, ensuring that not even a single insect could fly in. However, inside the courtyard, there was not a single person, dead silence.

  "The three immortal masters have arrived. Everything here has been arranged by me, all the washing utensils are complete and are of the highest grade gold, silver and jade. There are also beds, chairs and stools, all made of new red wood furniture, without any worldly aura."

  Li Pingxi drove the horse carriage into the other courtyard, came to a building, stopped the horse carriage and waited in front of it. Li Pingxi was both nervous and excited at this time. His face, which had been pale and haggard due to excessive drinking, actually showed a hint of unusual redness due to excitement.

  His old man, the current leader of the Medicine King Gang Li Hong, had recently reminded him that tonight three immortal masters would arrive at the Medicine Hall and he would be the one to welcome them. These three immortal masters were once the rulers of Pingzhou, and within the entire territory of Pingzhou, no one could surpass their power. What he needed to do was to try his best to please them, take them as his masters, learn the immortal arts that allowed them to fly through the sky and enter the earth, and then the Li family might have a chance to produce an immortal.

  Li Pingxi had seen these few immortal masters a few months ago, but he had never personally seen them display any flying or earth-penetrating magic, and was somewhat skeptical. However, his old man's words were always absolutely true, so he couldn't help but believe him.

  The curtain of the horse-drawn carriage opened, and a man in his fifties or sixties got out from inside. He wore a white crown on his head, a white Buddhist robe, black boots on his feet, and held a dustpan as long as a ruler in his hand. Behind him, he carried a small package that was bulging with something. His long beard fluttered in the wind, giving off an air of a wise and powerful man who had attained enlightenment. A sense of majesty and awe arose spontaneously.

  The old man in white robes glanced down at Li Pingxi with a calm expression and walked straight towards the building.

  Li Pingxi was swept by the old man's majestic gaze, his heart trembled, and he suddenly felt like a mouse encountering a cat, his legs softened, and he knelt down with a thud. In his heart, he secretly cried out, "My mother, how can this old man's eyes be even sharper than his father's?"

  Then two more people emerged from the carriage, both dressed in white robes.

  One of them was a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, with some childishness on his face, obviously lacking in experience, curiously looking around the courtyard.

  Another was a young man of twenty-five or six, with an eagle nose and a cold, long face, as if someone owed him money. The young man coldly scanned the surroundings of the other courtyard, inadvertently catching sight of Li Pingxi kneeling on the ground, and let out a contemptuous snort from his nostrils before following the old man into the building.

  Li Pingxi suddenly woke up, feeling a bit embarrassed, and quickly got up to follow them from behind. After entering the large hall of the building, the white-robed old man and his two followers sat down on their chairs.

  Only Li Pingxi stood humbly and did not dare to sit down.

  The old man in white robes asked in a calm tone: "How is the task I entrusted to you going?"

  "Immortal Master, some of the rare treasures you asked me to collect, I have already gathered many below."

  Li Pingxi immediately brought over a large wooden box that had been prepared in advance and placed in the main hall. He opened it, then proudly presented the hundreds of rare treasures inside to the white-robed old man for his inspection, one by one.

  "This is a carved jade porcelain vase, one of the most famous vases in Wan'an Prefecture, with extremely complex craftsmanship, worth 200 gold leaves."

  "This is the 'Zi Xia Gong', an ultimate inner power technique. I spent 600 gold leaves to buy it from the trading conference."

  "And this one, it's the Huāhuā Bǎo Jiàn (Flower Washing Treasure Sword), said to be the sword worn by Huāhuā Dà Xiá (Flower Washing Great Hero) of Pingzhou, who was renowned hundreds of years ago... can cut through iron like mud..."

  Li Pingxi was still unsatisfied and kept introducing the treasures he had collected, but didn't notice the expressions on the faces of the three people in the hall.

  That white-robed old man had already become furious upon hearing this.

  With a wave of his sleeve, a strong gust of wind suddenly rose from the ground, and the large wooden box was swept away by this fierce wind, overturning it. Hundreds of treasures inside were all poured out at once, scattering all over the floor.

  The old man in white robes flashed a fierce light in his eyes, scanning the so-called treasures on the ground. Suddenly, he burst into a rage and shouted: "You fool! I told you to collect spiritual objects, who asked you to collect these useless things?! Are you trying to deceive me?!"

  Li Pingxi was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes wide with fear. How did he know that the white-robed old man would be dissatisfied with these treasures? He loudly protested his innocence: "Immortal Master, I dare not deceive you! But, but these are not useless objects, they are all very useful treasures! This Iron-Cutting Lotus Flower Sword is extremely powerful, it can easily cut through other people's iron swords. I've personally tried it myself."

  "Shut up! Since you say it's so formidable, let me see just how formidable it is!"

  The old man in white robes let out a cold snort, muttered an incantation, and raised the tips of his right hand's two fingers. His face slowly turned red as if he was holding back his energy, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

  Li Pingxi's eyes widened suddenly, and he didn't understand what the white-robed old man was doing.

  After a while, a small spark suddenly shot out from the tip of the white-robed old man's fingers. The small spark quickly grew into a small cluster of eerie red flames, appearing above the fingertips. The scorching high temperature rushed towards the four people in the main hall.

  Li Pingxi's eyes were wide with wonder, what is this thing? This...this is the legendary Xian Fire? Could it be that Father said the three people in front of him are really the legendary Xian Ren (Immortals)?

  The old man in white robes saw the fireball finally come out, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh: What a hassle. To cast this fireball technique with his current second-layer Qi Refining stage cultivation, it still takes some time to deploy. If he used a fireball talisman, that would be much simpler - just trigger it with spiritual energy and toss out the talisman paper. However, the number of fireball talismans left in his package was too limited, and every one saved was a gain. His family wasn't as extravagant as they were twenty years ago.

  The white-robed old man cast out a fireball, waving his hand to shoot it. The scorching red flame with hot air immediately shot towards the Huanhua Treasure Sword in Li Pingxi's hand. The flame hit the sword, burning with a "sizzling" sound, and the sword melted into iron liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  Li Pingxi was shocked by the situation, and hastily threw the burning treasure sword in his hand to the ground, lest it set fire to his body. In just a moment, the treasure sword was reduced to ashes under the flames, without even leaving any molten iron behind, before the flames gradually went out.

  Li Pingxi's mouth was wide open in disbelief at the power of that flame, which was so great that even his treasured sword could not withstand its burning.

  An old man in a white robe, with his hands on his sleeves, scolded: "Hmph, this is also worthy of being called a treasured sword? Trash is trash, not even worth burning with yang fire. I told you to collect spiritual objects, but you actually used some trash to deceive me. If it weren't for the fact that you are Li Hong's son from the Medicine King Sect, and the Li family has been an agent of my Nan family, having done a lot of work for us, I would have destroyed this useless thing today."

  Li Pingxi's face turned pale, and upon hearing this, he was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. He didn't dare say another word, and instead bowed his head to the ground, trembling all over: "Immortal... Immortal Master, I really don't know what a spiritual object is, please enlighten me."
