There was no way Lu Xuan was going to sit back and watch the process of the Three Star Divine Rune of IX fail just like that. Had it not been for Xia Qi's extensive collection, it would not have been easy for him to get his hands on so many materials to craft a Three Star Divine Rune. More importantly, he did not want the Divine Rune of IX that he had painstakingly crafted to be degraded.
All of his Soul Force was mobilized by Lu Xuan and instantly gathered on the IX Water Divine Rune. Lu Xuan silently shouted in his heart: Suppress!
His powerful Soul Force immediately bound the entire Divine Rune, preventing it from moving. Although the Three Star IX Water Divine Rune constantly trembled and showed signs of collapsing, it was forcibly maintained in a semi-stable state under the restraint of his Soul Force.
Lu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Divine Sigil did not collapse immediately. As long as the Divine Sigil did not truly collapse, there was still hope of saving it. He was glad that he had reacted in time and was glad that his soul power was strong enough.
If he didn't restrain the Divine Rune earlier, it would be impossible for anyone to save it once the Divine Rune collapsed.
At this moment, Lu Xuan finally had the time to carefully observe the IX Water Divine Rune. After some investigation, he discovered that the reason why the Divine Rune was on the verge of collapse was because he had been careless and missed a rune. Condensing a Divine Rune was an extremely meticulous matter. Not to mention missing a rune, even the wrong position of the Divine Rune would face the danger of failure. It was no wonder that the Divine Rune would fluctuate so greatly.
Since he found the reason, it was easy to handle. Lu Xuan continued to use his Soul Force to restrain the Divine Rune, preventing it from collapsing. At the same time, he carefully erased the rune that was engraved at the back.
With the missing rune in place, the IX Water Divine Rune immediately stabilized. After confirming that there were no problems, Lu Xuan carefully retracted his Soul Force. However, the previous torment had consumed a lot of Lu Xuan's energy. But since the Divine Rune hadn't been formed yet, Lu Xuan had to grit his teeth and persevere.
After some careful refinement, after the time it took to brew a cup of tea, a faint blue luster finally shone in Lu Xuan's body. The Three Stars IX Water Divine Rune emitted a sparkling luster.
At this moment, Lu Xuan's Soul Force was on the verge of exhaustion. He didn't have the mood to be happy, nor did he dare to continue condensing Divine Inscriptions in such a state. Instead, he circulated the Soul Tempering Art and began to slowly recover his Soul Force.
Just as Lu Xuan was concentrating on his cultivation, the Nine Dragons Dynasty suddenly announced an important piece of news. They conferred Lu Xuan the title of Prince of Tranquility and granted him the fief of Dongtai City!
As expected, Xia Qi did not go back on his word. As soon as Lu Xuan cleared the baleful aura in his body, he immediately issued the imperial edict.
This news could be said to have shocked many people. The Nine Dragons Empire would not randomly confer a title. In ordinary sects, as long as one had enough strength, one would be able to obtain the position of an elder. However, in the Nine Dragons Empire, no matter how strong one's strength was, one would still need to have enough contributions in order to be conferred a title.
And Lu Xuan, who was a nobody, was suddenly conferred a title of Prince. Moreover, it was a title of Prince with a fief at that. It could be said that the people of the Nine Dragons Dynasty were talking about it. Among them, the most widely spread was undoubtedly that Lu Xuan was Xia Qi's illegitimate son.
Dongtai City, in the Hundred Herb Hall. Ever since Lu Xuan left, Su Ye had focused on practicing the Soul Tempering Art that Lu Xuan had left behind. She also studied the few pill formulas that Lu Xuan had given her.
This time, when she came out of seclusion, she discovered that the City Lord's Mansion was being built in the City of the Medicine King! This discovery could be said to be extremely shocking to Su Ye. Ever since the Hundred Herb Hall's headquarters was built in Dongtai City, the Nine Dragons Dynasty had never built a City Lord's Mansion in Dongtai City, tacitly giving the city to the Hundred Herb Hall. As time passed, even the name of the city became the City of the Medicine King. Who would have thought that the City Lord's Mansion would suddenly be built this time?
In a panic, Su Ye hurriedly asked Su Hexuan, "Grandfather, why did the Nine Dragons Dynasty suddenly build a City Lord's Mansion in the City of the Medicine King? Could it be that the Nine Dragons Dynasty wants to take back the City of the Medicine King?"
Hearing this, Su Hexuan laughed involuntarily. "The City of the Medicine King has always been the Nine Dragons Dynasty's territory. What do you mean by taking it back?"
"But …" Su Ye also could not explain it. She felt that this made her very unhappy, as if her home had been taken away. She also felt an inexplicable hatred towards the City Lord's Mansion that was currently being built.
Su Hexuan understood Su Ye's thoughts. He chuckled and said, "In this short period of time, you have been focusing on your cultivation. I'm afraid you don't know what has happened in the outside world. Do you know that the Anping Prince has recently appeared in the Nine Dragons Dynasty? And this City of the Medicine King is the new Prince's fief. "
"I don't care about the Anping Prince. There are so many cities in the Nine Dragons Dynasty. Why must His Majesty give the City of the Medicine King to the Anping Prince as a fief?" Su Ye said gloomily.
"Is that so? If you knew who the Anping Prince is, I'm afraid you would not think so. "Su Hexuan said with a smile.
Su Ye could not help but feel a little curious. She asked, "Could it be that I know him? Could it be the Fourth Prince? "
Su Hexuan shook his head and said, "The Fourth Prince's ambition does not lie here. Come to think of it, the Anping Prince still owes you a life-saving debt."
Life-saving debt … Su Ye carefully mulled over this sentence. Then, she said with great surprise, "Could it be Young Master Lu?"
Su Hexuan laughed heartily, "Lu Xuan is no longer Young Master Lu, but the Anping Prince! From now on, this City of the Medicine King will be Lu Xuan's personal property! "
His words undoubtedly confirmed Su Ye's words. Su Ye could not help but feel a little dizzy. How did Lu Xuan suddenly become the Anping Prince after a trip to Nine Dragons City? She could not help but have a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that Young Master Lu caught the eye of one of the princesses and was taken in as the Prince's son-in-law, and His Majesty bestowed the title of Prince to him? That could not be right. A son-in-law was a relative of the Emperor. It was impossible for him to be bestowed the title of Prince …
"Lu Xuan's ability is truly great. Even this old man could not do it, but he did it. His Majesty's injury was so difficult to deal with, but he managed to cure it. It is a pity that this old man's eyes are failing me. I did not expect Lu Xuan to have such great skills." Su Hexuan sighed to himself.
Hearing this, Su Ye understood a little. She said thoughtfully, "Grandfather, are you saying that Young Master Lu cured His Majesty's injury?"
"Yes, it is precisely because of this that His Majesty bestowed upon him the title of Prince and called him the Anping Prince. This is the meaning of peace." Su Hexuan nodded.
Knowing that Lu Xuan had cured Xia Qi, Su Ye was not as surprised as Su Hexuan. When she first saw the jade slip Lu Xuan left for her, she knew that Lu Xuan also knew the way of alchemy.
When she thought about how Lu Xuan would become the lord of the City of the Medicine King in the future, Su Ye could not help but feel an indescribable joy in her heart. Once Lu Xuan was stationed in the lord's residence, wouldn't she be able to see Lu Xuan often?
However, she did not express her joy in front of Su Hexuan. Although the lord of the City of the Medicine King was Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan's current status was the Anping Prince of the Nine Dragons Empire. Speaking of which, Xia Qi had still taken back the City of the Medicine King. Su Hexuan had managed the Hundred Herb Hall for so many years, so he must have felt bad about it.
"Grandfather, are you not unhappy that His Majesty has done this?" Su Ye asked carefully.
"Unhappy? If you say that I am disappointed, then I am definitely a little. " Su Hexuan did not hide anything from Su Ye. He continued, "However, after the incident with Bei Bo Ruo, I have come to understand a lot. No matter how special our Hundred Herb Hall's position is, we are still not strong enough. If we want the Hundred Herb Hall to survive for a long time, we either have to raise our strength to the fourth rank and possess sufficient strength, or we can only rely on external forces.
"I'm afraid that the former cannot be achieved in a short period of time. In that case, we can only strengthen our relationship with the Nine Dragons Empire. Actually, even if His Majesty had not made this decision, I would have taken the initiative to bring it up to His Majesty. Now that Lu Xuan has become the lord of the City of the Medicine King, I am already very satisfied."
Su Ye understood a little, but she did not expect the relationship to be so complicated. When she thought about how she would be in charge of the enormous Hundred Herb Hall in the future, she felt a headache coming on.
At that moment, a loud laugh rang out from outside. Su Ye and Su Hexuan turned their heads and saw Xia Qi, dressed in dragon robes, striding towards them.
"Your Majesty?" Su Ye was a little shocked. She did not expect Xia Qi to actually come here.
"Congratulations on your good health, Your Majesty." Su Hexuan was not as surprised as Su Ye. His soul was very strong and he had already sensed Xia Qi's arrival. His words were more for Xia Qi to hear than for Su Ye.
"Brother Su, there is no need to be so polite. If you had not done your best to heal me, I am afraid I would not have lasted until Lu Xuan came to heal me." Xia Qi smiled and waved his hand.
Seeing how spirited Xia Qi was, he looked like a completely different person from a month ago. Su Hexuan could not help but marvel at how powerful Lu Xuan was. He had practically dug Xia Qi, who was on the brink of death, out of his grave.
"Little Ye, I heard everything just now. You are not very satisfied with my arrangements." Xia Qi pointed at Su Ye with a smile.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I did not understand Your Majesty and grandfather's good intentions. That is why I misunderstood," Su Ye said with a bow. Ever since she found out that the future City Lord of the City of the Medicine King was Lu Xuan, she did not think too much about it.
Of course, Xia Qi did not really blame Su Ye. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xia Qi began to talk about the reason why he had come.
"Silver Leaf Grass and Jewel Tree Root?" Su Hexuan frowned slightly and stroked his beard. "Although Silver Leaf Grass is rare, my Hundred Herb Hall does have some. As for the Jewel Tree Root, I do not have any recollection of it."
"Yes, I have heard of Silver Leaf Grass, but I have never heard of the Jewel Tree Root. However, Lu Xuan said that I needed these two herbs in order to refine the pill. In order to live a few more years, I had no choice but to put in a lot of effort to find these two herbs." Xia Qi smiled bitterly.
He had asked the imperial physicians in the palace and they did not have Silver Leaf Grass or the Jewel Tree Root. That was why he had come to the Hundred Herb Hall. However, it seemed that Su Hexuan only had Silver Leaf Grass and not the Jewel Tree Root.
