Chapter 27, Third Seat, The Stars Surrounding the Moon

  Li Yurong smiled slightly, like a blooming spring flower, stunning everyone. She nodded and said: "With the addition of Mr. Xu, I'm sure the appraisal meeting will be even more glorious... I heard that Mr. Xu was attacked by the two major Xuanmen Daoist temples in this city a few days ago?"

  Li Yurong suddenly mentioned this matter, causing Xu Yang to frown and not understand its meaning. However, he still replied: "Yes, but with the help of a noble person, it's no longer a problem."

  "That's the best. I wonder who the noble person is that Mr. Xu met, and he was actually able to rescue Mr. Xu from the whirlpool of the two major Xuanmen Daoist temples." Li Yurong's calm and clear eyes also showed a curious light.

  "I didn't expect that, with Qianbaoge's methods, I still don't know the name of this senior," Xuyang smiled slightly, as if he had seen through Li Yurong's thoughts, and said straightforwardly, "He said his name is Li Zhongxuan."

  Li Yurong's beautiful eyes flashed with a subtle, almost imperceptible glint, and she smiled lightly: "What a coincidence, the second son of Lin Yuanjun, who is also the uncle of Little Marquis Hou, is also named Li Zhongxuan."

  "It should be the same person, if I have the chance, I will thank Senior Zhongxuan." Xuyang said lightly, now his impression of Li Yurong has decreased a lot, this woman's behavior of seeking benefits and favors makes him feel slightly unhappy.

  Li Yurong first mentioned the three new medicine formulas, and then brought up Li Zhongxuan, clearly implying that she wanted Xu Yang to transfer the formulas to the Li family as a way of repaying their kindness.

  In fact, according to Xu Yang's personality, even if Li Yurong didn't say anything, he had already guessed the relationship between Li Zhongxuan and Li Yurong, as well as Qian Bao Ge, so he wouldn't be stingy with the formula for ordinary medicine. Now Li Yurong is in such a hurry, but it has the opposite effect, making Xu Yang look down on the Li family.

  The Treasure Appraisal Conference is able to become the largest trading event in Lin Yuan City, and naturally there is a set of effective rules.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats according to the seating arrangement. The appraisal meeting will begin on time." Under Li Yurong's instructions, an elderly man with white hair and beard walked up to the high platform at the northernmost part of the courtyard and shouted in a loud and clear voice.

  Xu Yang took a glance at the number plate given by Li Yurong, the number was very small, No. 3.

  With a bewildered expression, Xu Yu arrived at seat number three and sat down. Xu Yang glanced around, slightly startled. To the left was number two, Hou Li Wang, and further to the left was a middle-aged man with an air of elegance, whose appearance was somewhat similar to that of Li Wang. Xu Yang secretly speculated that this dignified and majestic middle-aged man should be Li Wang's father, Lin Yuan City Lord Li Bo Yan!

  The master of Lin Yuan City can only sit in seat No. 2, so who is sitting in the sacred seat No. 1? Xu Yang took a sneak peek and found that the noble seat No. 1 was empty.

  The man in seat No. 4 was a middle-aged man with a cold face, thin lips and extremely sharp eyes. As if sensing Xiangyang's gaze, the man in seat No. 4 gave him a cold glance, seemingly displeased that an unknown, shabbily dressed young man could sit in seat No. 3.

  "Xu Zhengming and his family ranked 6th. It seems that the seating arrangement of the appraisal conference is based on actual strength. Except for the mysterious number one seat, the master of Lin Yuan City sits in the second seat with a noble status; seats 4, 5, and 6 should be the three major families of Lin Yuan City. The Xu family ranked last, indeed their strength has declined."

  Xu Yang was deep in thought when a discordant voice suddenly rang out just as the host was about to announce the start of the meeting.

  "Hold on! I'd like to know why a poor kid is sitting in seat No. 3, which is even closer than mine?"

  The voice came from behind Xu Yang, and when he looked up, a young man wearing brocade clothes had already stood up, looking at Xu Yang with disdain: "Just such a poor boy, the servants in my house wear better than him! Let him sit in seat 3, I, Ge Wei Jun, won't stand for it!"

  A whispering conversation.

  "Is it? A poor little kid, how can he sit in such a front row seat?"

  "Ge Wei Jun, from the Ge family branch, usually sits in seat number three when there are no noble guests from Donglai City. Now it's been occupied, no wonder they sent Ge Wei Jun to cause trouble."

  Li Yurong's smile remained unchanged: "Wei Jun, young master, do you have the ability to represent the Ge family?" Her meaning was simple, Ge Weijun held a low position in the Ge family, this was to make him know his limits and retreat.

  Ge Wei Jun's face turned red, and at this time, the cold and stern middle-aged man sitting in seat 4 to Xu Yang's right slowly stood up and said: "Miss Yu Rong, I, Ge Li Guo, also have a question. Why does such an unknown young man surpass the three major families of Lin Yuan City?"

  The whispers around him grew louder, Ge Liguang was the second-generation heir of the Ge family who had the power to represent the Ge family in major purchases.

  The current situation in Lin Yuan City is different from the dominance of the Xu family 15 years ago. The Ge and Yu families have caught up, while the Xu family has fallen behind. Among them, the Ge family's power has developed the fastest. It is said that they have connected with a major force in Ha Yun Shang Guo, and with someone backing them, they naturally have more confidence in their words in the remote Lin Yuan City. Many times, even the Lin Yuan Jun Yi had to give them face.

  Li Yurong had some regrets. The third seat was Li Wang's suggestion, and Li Yurong acquiesced to this decision in order to get along with Xu Yang and obtain the formula. Now it seems that she underestimated the sensitivity of the Ge family, which has a subtle influence as the first family in Linwan City, and attaches great importance to anything related to ranking.

  "Let me tell you," Xǔ Yáng stood up and said calmly, "I'm not talented, but I've recently developed a few ordinary medicine formulas..."

  "What's the use of just any medicine? Are you going to take it out and make a fool of yourself?" Ge Wei Jun sneered first.

  Xu Yang ignored him and calmly continued: "These three prescriptions are Stanching Powder, Revival Powder, and the recently made Discontinued Powder."

  A stone causes a thousand ripples.

  "That's Xu Yang!"

  "The efficacy of this medicine is so miraculous that the Thousand Treasures Pavilion can't keep up with the demand every day. Whoever possesses these prescriptions is like owning a hen that lays golden eggs!"

  The thoughts of powerful families like the Ge family and the Imperial Family are different from others. What they value is not just the three kinds of ordinary medicine formulas, but also Xu Yang himself!

  This young man is currently only at the Xuanwu Realm boundary and can only refine ordinary medicine.

  If he possesses the Fire Extreme Mystical Veins and cultivates the Fire Extreme Spiral Wheel, it can be certain that he will become a genius alchemist, surpassing even Meng Dan Chi and Li Yuan Yi!

  Xuantu has successfully developed three kinds of divine elixirs, and Xu Yang's innate talent in alchemy is unmatched.

  "I wonder which of the Nine Profound Qi Gates' extremes this young Brother Yang is from?" The representative of the Imperial Family, seated in seat number 5, suddenly spoke up with a smile.

  The scene suddenly fell silent, with everyone's eyes fixed on the young man in tattered clothes. If he was indeed Huo Ji Xuan, he would immediately become a highly sought-after genius alchemist. But if he wasn't, his value would plummet.

  Xu Zhengming sneered: "He is a body of eight extremes, the most useless kind, and is not suitable for cultivating Xuan at all!"

  Xu Qingliang hastily grabbed his son's sleeve and scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense!"

  The crowd in the field was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, their eyes became even more eager!

  The reason is that the eight extremes all have a physical body, and there is no doubt that they possess the Fire Extreme Xuan Pulse, but it has been thinned out a lot, making it difficult to advance to the rank of Xuan Shi.

  I'm not afraid of your low qualifications, I'm just afraid you don't have the Fire Spirit Pulse! Every major family has a deep foundation, even if they use treasures to crush him, they can still crush this genius pharmacist into the Xuan Shi realm! This is equivalent to having one more future great Dan Master!

  Although the Xuan Shi boundary can only refine spiritual pills of third grade or lower, it is already quite good for various large families.

  "Little brother, are you interested in joining our clan? Our clan will provide you with the best conditions for cultivating your skills. We have everything you need: spiritual objects, medicinal materials, mystical stones, and techniques. I guarantee that you'll be able to advance to a higher level!" The representative of the 5th seat of the clan spoke up first.

  "Xu Yang little brother, consider our Water and Land Path school. After you arrive, we will treat you as a guest lecturer."

  "We have a lovely daughter in our family, with a face as beautiful as the moon and flowers. If you, young Master Yu, are willing to come...". Someone has already employed the beauty trap.

  In the future, three-product dan masters will be in high demand. Just take a look at Lin Yuan City, which is so big that there are only two three-product dan masters, Meng Dan Chi and Li Yuan Qi.

  Xu Zhengming looked at Xu Yang, who was surrounded by the crowd like a moon among stars, and felt both envy and jealousy in his heart. He couldn't help but shout loudly: "He is the son of Xu Qingyuan, the bastard driven out by the Haoyun Mu clan! You weigh the importance of the Haoyun Mu clan again, and it's not too late to talk about recruiting him!"

  Hai Yunmo?

  Some small families still didn't know this giant clan that was far away in the tens of thousands of miles, and quietly asked: "Which is the Mo Clan?"

  "A giant clan that has been dormant for many years, the Mo Clan!" Someone took a cold breath, and their gaze at Xu Yang was filled with pity. Being expelled by the Mo Clan, Xu Yang's life was destined to be dull and unremarkable, no matter how much talent he possessed, it could never be displayed openly.

  Because, looking at the entire Donglai country, there isn't a single family that dares to offend the Mo clan by taking in Xu Yang. A future Dan Master without the support of a great power, wanting to stand out is almost impossible.

  Dan Shi, is piled up with countless medicinal materials and waste Dan! Without the support of a major force, how can one person alone afford to squander so many precious medicines?

  "Slap!" A palm print landed on Xu Zhengming's face, sending this young genius of the Xuanmen flying several feet away, rolling on the ground with a spin, and a thread of fresh blood still flowing from the corner of his mouth!

  Xu Qinghan's face turned cold and hard, and a sentence burst out from between his teeth: "The two words 'bastard' are not for you to say!"

  "Zhengming!" Xu Qing hurriedly went to support him, this son was his heart's flesh and blood, at a young age he had already reached the Xuan Shi realm, in the future he would definitely become a Xuan Shifu, his old age would rely on this one son.

  Xu Zhengming was helped up, and Xu Qing glared at the perpetrator with anger: "Xu Qing, why did you hit my son!"

  Xu Qing said coldly, "Xu Yang is the eldest grandson of the family master. Your son says he's a bastard! Isn't that also scolding the family master? Who should I punish if not him?"
