After thinking about it carefully, Lu Xuan spoke slowly, "If it is as Your Highness said, and you just need to enter the Nine Dragon Jade Seal and fight against the Origin Realm martial artists, I can help you."
Hearing Lu Xuan's agreement, Xia Xi was instantly delighted. With Lu Xuan's help, he was like a tiger that had grown wings. It wasn't easy to find a martial artist that fulfilled the requirements to enter the Nine Dragon Jade Seal. For the battle of the imperial family, they naturally couldn't look for people from other factions. Furthermore, there weren't many martial artists that were below the age of 40 and had formidable strength.
After calming down, Xia Xi asked curiously, "Lu Xuan, what is your current strength level?"
"I'm only at the fourth level of the Origin Realm. Don't have too much hope for me, Your Highness Fourth." Lu Xuan said half-jokingly. His strength on the surface wasn't exactly reassuring.
As expected, Xia Xi furrowed his brows. He didn't expect that after Lu Xuan soaked in the Hundred Herb Hall's medicinal pool, he had only just entered the middle stage of the Origin Realm. But after a short moment, he felt relieved. The harder it was for Lu Xuan to break through, the more it proved that his ability far surpassed the same level martial artists. Since Lu Xuan was able to kill Wang Hailin when he was only at the first level of the Origin Realm, then wouldn't he be able to fight against a late stage Origin Realm martial artist now that he was at the fourth level of the Origin Realm?
"Keke, I have full confidence in you. If I am able to gain the favor of my Emperor Father, I will definitely confer you the title of Imperial Advisor!" Xia Xi said with a smile. Even though Xia Xi wasn't the Emperor of the Nine Dragons Empire yet, he was very good at managing his subordinates. Before he succeeded, he had already promised Lu Xuan a huge reward.
But Lu Xuan only shook his head lightly, "There is no need for that. I only hope that Your Highness can help me find my origins. The feeling of losing my memories is not a good one."
The reason why Lu Xuan chose to help Xia Xi, besides wanting to take a look at the Nine Dragons Jade Seal, was to get on Xia Xi's good side and ask for his help to cure his amnesia.
Xia Xi naturally couldn't stay in the Medicine King City for too long. Without further delay, he immediately invited Lu Xuan to follow him to the Nine Dragons Empire. Lu Xuan naturally had no objections and immediately went to find Su Ye and Su Hexuan. He had disturbed Hundred Herb Hall for so many days and even soaked in their precious medicinal pool. Now that he was leaving, Lu Xuan naturally had to inform them first.
"Young Master Lu, you are going to the Emperor City?" Su Ye was obviously surprised and wasn't mentally prepared.
"I want His Highness Four to help me look for my old acquaintances and try to awaken my previous memories, so I want to go to the capital." Su Ye had taken good care of him in every possible way, yet now, she wanted to leave just like that.
Su Ye felt a little sad, as if she had lost something. She wanted Lu Xuan to stay, but she couldn't find a reason to do so.
Su Hexuan looked at Lu Xuan thoughtfully, "Lu Xuan, you probably have something important to do this time, right?"
Su Hexuan had just returned from the imperial capital, and he had seen to Xia Qi's injuries. It was only natural that he knew a lot of inside information. Since Lu Xuan had been invited by Xia Xi, he had to think about the significance of the invitation.
"Elder Su, you have a sharp eye." Lu Xuan glanced at Su Hexuan and didn't hide anything. With Su Hexuan's insight, he could naturally tell something.
Su Hexuan nodded lightly, then said, "Since it's something important, do it well. Don't mess it up. If it succeeds, it'll be a good thing for both you and the Hundred Herb Hall."
While Lu Xuan did not have any influence, in Xia Xi's heart, Lu Xuan undoubtedly belonged to the Hundred Herb Hall. If Lu Xuan could help Xia Xi successfully ascend to his position, the Hundred Herb Hall would definitely be credited with his contributions. Moreover, Su Hexuan had gone through thick and thin with the Hundred Herb Hall when he came to attend the birthday celebration last time. Su Hexuan seemed to be on his side. Otherwise, he would not have told Xia Xi about Xia Qi's injuries.
Lu Xuan cupped his hands and nodded, "Lu Xuan will remember."
"Then when you're done with your business, don't forget to come back to the City of the Medicine King," Su Ye couldn't help but say. Su Ye couldn't help but ask. She was a little naive and didn't know what Lu Xuan was going to do.
Lu Xuan sighed inwardly. A beauty had feelings for him, but he didn't. He could only let Su Ye down. It was the hardest thing to accept a beauty's kindness. He thought for a moment, then said, "Miss Su, do you have a brush, paper, or a blank jade scroll?"
Su Ye was a little confused. She didn't know what Lu Xuan wanted this for, but she still took out a blank jade scroll and handed it to Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan took it and placed it between his eyebrows without a word. He then closed his eyes and focused on recording the contents of the jade scroll.
After a dozen or so breaths, Lu Xuan opened his eyes and handed the jade scroll back to Su Ye. He said, "Read it after I leave. Remember to take care of it carefully. Su Ye, Hall Master Su, we will meet again."
Although Su Ye really wanted to see what Lu Xuan had left for her in the jade scroll, she still listened to Lu Xuan's words and didn't check it immediately. She followed Lu Xuan out and watched him leave.
Xia Xi had already made the necessary preparations. He was only waiting for Lu Xuan to bid farewell before he set off. After Lu Xuan met up with Xia Xi, the group left the Hundred Herb Hall.
As the City of the Medicine King was the base of the Hundred Herb Hall, there was no transportation array that directly connected to the imperial capital. Lu Xuan and the others needed to go to another nearby city before they could use the transportation array to go to the imperial capital. Of course, Xia Xi's status was extraordinary, so he could use these transportation arrays as he pleased.
As she watched Lu Xuan and Xia Xi leave, Su Ye finally couldn't wait to immerse her mind into the jade scroll. She wanted to see what Lu Xuan had left behind. Su Ye couldn't help but be shocked when she saw it!
What was left in the jade scroll was a cultivation method and a few pill recipes. Both the cultivation method and the pill recipes were definitely not ordinary!
The cultivation method was a method of tempering one's soul. The strength of one's soul was as important to an alchemist as it was to a Talisman Master. The strength of one's soul directly determined the success rate of alchemy.
The soul-tempering method that Lu Xuan had left for Su Ye was not the soul-tempering method from the Taiyi Return to Origin Technique, but the soul-tempering method from the Firmament Pill Canon. Compared to the soul-tempering method from the Taiyi Return to Origin Technique, this method was more suitable for alchemists. After all, it was created by a Pill Emperor.
As for the pill recipes, they were also taken from the Firmament Pill Canon. The Firmament Pill Canon was created by a Pill Emperor's blood, sweat, and tears. It contained almost everything necessary to become a powerful alchemist, and there were countless pill recipes. What Lu Xuan had left for Su Ye were a few Earth-rank first grade to Earth-rank fourth grade pill recipes. Even though the Hundred Herb Hall was a family of alchemists, these pill recipes could definitely be used as the hall's treasures!
With this soul-tempering method and these precious pill recipes, it could be foreseen that Su Ye would definitely become an even more powerful alchemist than her grandfather in the future.
… …
"Lu Xuan, how's your development with that Miss Su?" Xia Xi could not help but tease him as they walked on the road.
When Lu Xuan heard this, a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He said, "Your Highness, you must be joking. Su Ye and I are only friends."
"Sigh, we're all men, so there's no need to be secretive." Xia Xi had an understanding expression on his face. He then said, "Although you've left your home of gentleness in order to help me this time, the imperial capital of our Nine Dragons Empire far surpasses Dongtai City in this aspect. When the time comes, I'll let you experience the 'gentleness' of our imperial capital."
"Uh … I don't really want to go to a brothel. Your Highness, please arrange a quiet place for me."
"You don't know how to enjoy yourself. If you don't want to show your face in public, I can arrange some beautiful maids for you. Don't worry, I've definitely not touched them," Xia Xi said solemnly.
Lu Xuan could not help but look at the sky speechlessly. Could it be that the reason why the Nine Dragons Empire established its influence in the form of a country was so that they could enjoy themselves better? Putting aside the strength of the Nine Dragons Empire, it was really no different from an ordinary secular country.
The two of them chatted as they headed toward the imperial capital of the Nine Dragons Empire — Nine Dragons City.
After passing through the teleportation formation and arriving at Nine Dragons City, Lu Xuan suddenly felt a formless pressure enveloping his body. It was as if the power of a formation had enveloped the entire Nine Dragons City.
Realizing that Lu Xuan's state was a little off, Xia Xi could not help but say, "Lu Xuan, don't be nervous. Relax. There's a powerful protective formation in the imperial capital. As long as you relax, it won't target you. Don't be vigilant."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan let out a sigh of relief and slightly relaxed. As expected, the force immediately disappeared. He could not help but be secretly amazed. This formation was really amazing. It must be very peaceful in Nine Dragons City, because if you had any evil thoughts, the formation would imperceptibly suppress you. Under this kind of psychological pressure for a long time, one would go crazy.
"Let's go to my mansion first. After you've settled down, I'll show you the elegance of the imperial capital," Xia Xi said with a slight smile. Lu Xuan understood that the elegance he was talking about was definitely the various brothel.
Xia Xi's residence was located in the eastern part of Nine Dragons City, which was not far from the royal palace. Lu Xuan passed by the royal palace of the Nine Dragons Dynasty on his way there, and it was indeed very imposing and awe-inspiring. He took a look at the palace guards from afar and saw that they were all at the Spirit Ascension Realm. Such a feat was completely unimaginable in the secular world.
Lu Xuan followed Xia Xi to his mansion. As soon as he entered the door, a person dressed like a butler came up to greet him. He bowed to Xia Xi and said, "Your Highness, the Duke of Zhennan has been waiting in the mansion for nearly an hour. He wants you to see him when you return."
"Uncle is here?" Xia Xi was a little surprised, but then he smiled and said, "What a coincidence. Lu Xuan, didn't you say you wanted to see Uncle? Let's go together. "
"That's exactly what I was thinking," Lu Xuan said with a slight smile.
Then, under the guidance of the butler, the two of them walked directly to a small garden. After passing through a few corridors, Lu Xuan saw a person drinking by himself in a small pavilion in the garden. It was the Duke of Zhennan, Xia Zhengwen.
