I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

Faced with Luo Yao's intense yet dangerous allure, Lu Xuan merely swallowed hard before suppressing his impulse.

Instead, he carefully explained it to Luo Yao.

Luo Yao herself is also a fifth-grade alchemist, with knowledge of both alchemy and formations.

In reality, the fundamental effect of Luo Yao's Four Symbols Fire Gathering Formation is to use the formation to absorb the power of four alchemists and then increase the level of the flame.

This is equivalent to adding a more powerful furnace to the medicine cauldron.

The problem is that Luo Yao only thought about lighting the stove once to increase its power.

However, once this formation is activated, the power of the furnace will be unleashed, potentially igniting it twice, which is equivalent to continuously increasing the power of the furnace.

However, once the range of flames exceeds the tolerance of any one of the alchemists, the flames will be lost.

Then the flames in the cauldron will lose their balance and cause the cauldron to explode.

All the alchemists will be blown away.

Whether one survives or not ultimately depends entirely on their own abilities.

Of course, this is only the theoretical strength.

When Luo Yao designed this formation, she didn't intend to raise the temperature of the flames to a certain level; she simply wanted to add an extra layer of protection.

Luo Yao didn't care about the lives of those alchemists; she only cared that her medicinal herbs didn't have any problems.

Therefore, he eagerly asked, wanting to know Lu Xuan's thoughts.

"Actually, it's quite simple. We just need to modify the Four Symbols Fire Gathering Formation into the Three Talents Formation, which only requires three people to support and ignite the fire, thus achieving the effect of gathering fire."

"Only when things get really bad and we need to go to greater heights will a fourth person join in and provide support."

"Although the flame will be smaller, a high-grade fifth-rank pill shouldn't need such a fierce flame, so theoretically it should be perfectly sufficient."

Lu Xuan said.

This is the solution he just came up with.

Similarly, that vacant spot is only for him.

He didn't know about the others, but he was confident that he could still control the flames when Lu Xuan took over the vacated position.

But in this way...

The compensation for that will be different from theirs.

Of course, Lu Xuan wouldn't bring up the matter of compensation himself.

After all, Lu Xuan wasn't very clear about the financial resources of the Xuan Yu Divine Sect. What if he suffered a loss if he spoke rashly?

"In that case, the fourth person would have to withstand the combined fire impact of three people. I wonder, Master Lu, who do you think is capable of taking on this role?"

Luo Yao understood the method Lu Xuan was talking about.

If we follow the first method, there is almost no room for error; it's purely a gamble.

The second method, even if the fourth person who joins can't withstand the pressure, can still share some of the risk. In this way, the medicine cauldron will be safe, and as long as some price is paid, the current situation can be stabilized.

But at this moment, Luo Yao's clear and beautiful eyes looked at Lu Xuan with great interest.

Since Lu Xuan was able to propose this plan, it means that the other party not only understands formations, but also has a grasp of the refining process. As expected of someone who climbed up from the bottom, the power and knowledge he possesses are indeed incomparable to those pampered alchemists.

This kind of "no destruction, no construction" approach is something most people wouldn't think of.

"I am not boasting, but of the four of us, only I am capable of this position. If the sect leader trusts me, then please entrust this position to me."

Lu Xuan said calmly.

At this moment, Lu Xuan also exuded an unprecedented and strong sense of confidence.

Even Luo Yao's gaze was somewhat dazed at this moment.

This little old man is quite a rare find.

He didn't exude the signs of old age; instead, he possessed a vibrant, energetic, and vigorous spirit, like the rising sun!

He doesn't look like an old man at all.

This guy is kind of interesting.

"Hehe, since Master Lu is so confident, then this sect will naturally believe him."

"As long as Master Lu can hold onto this position this time, our sect guarantees to satisfy Master Lu after the matter is settled."

When Luo Yao said this, she gave Lu Xuan a deliberately teasing look, as if she were giving him some kind of hint.

If an ordinary person saw that look, they would probably fall for it.

But Lu Xuan was perfectly clear-headed.

Given Luo Yao's background, strength, and status, she is destined to be an extraordinary woman.

Ruthless and cold-blooded are just the basics.

Do you really think that just because you, an old man, have shown a little bit of skill and confidence, someone will be willing to sleep with you?

Unless Lu Xuan were twenty years younger, he might still be able to succeed based on his appearance back then.

Now, that would be difficult.

"Okay, it's a deal then."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, not entertaining any further improper thoughts. It was fine to think about it in private, but to actually voice these thoughts would be a disaster.

"Then I won't disturb Master Lu's rest any longer..."

Luo Yao rose slightly, taking away her favorite tea tray and tea set, and swayed as she left Lu Xuan's residence.

Watching the graceful Sect Leader Luo leave, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little empty inside.

"This Sect Master Luo is truly a captivating enchantress."

"But similarly, they are man-eating demons!"

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

They did not let their guard down.

I just got close enough to get a feel for Luo Yao's strength.

He is at least stronger than Lu Xuan.

Perhaps Luo Yao has already condensed a complete spiritual palace, and is just one step away from achieving the final, capping effect.

Lu Xuan, on the other hand, only possessed nearly fifty Spirit Mansion Foundation Stones.

The gap between her and Luo Yao is still very large.

If a real fight breaks out, Lu Xuan's only chance of winning is to use the Myriad Swords Technique.

"I still have too few ways to protect myself."

"We still need to find a way to awaken the Silent Dao Bone in advance."

"Once we get back, we'll wipe out the Blood Mist Cult. We can't wait any longer!"

"Let the Blood Mistress help me in my spiritual practice!"

"If I had the chance to get Sect Master Luo to help me cultivate, wouldn't I be incredibly happy with this Incense Tree?"

Thoughts surged through Lu Xuan's mind.

A slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

In this situation, his assessment was focused on whether he could kill his opponent. Little did he know that in a normal duel between fifth-rank experts, the question of whether to kill the opponent was not usually considered.

At most, it's enough to gain the upper hand and suppress the opponent.

They wouldn't be thinking about killing anyone.

Upon returning, Luo Yao was also amazed by Lu Xuan's strength.

"This old man Lu is really not simple... Although his cultivation is not as good as mine, the sword intent in his body is extremely strong. If we really fight, I may not be able to defeat him by myself."

"This person must be treated with utmost care! We absolutely cannot mistreat him."

Luo Yao thought to herself.

Looking across the entire Xuanwu Dynasty, there are not many people who can command such seriousness from Luo Yao, but Lu Xuan before her is one of them.

The next day, at noon.

Lu Xuan enjoyed a delicious breakfast, savoring the culinary delights of the Xuan Yu Divine Sect, before heading to the Xuan Yu Divine Sect's Alchemy Peak under Luo Bingyan's guidance.

Alchemy Peak is an independent mountain. Although the main body of the mountain is relatively short, it is very broad and thick.

At the very top of the mountain is a huge, perfectly flat platform, as if it had been sliced ​​flat by a single sword stroke.

The cut surface is neat, sharp, and clean.

Besides the three alchemists we met yesterday, three attendants who came with them were also present today.

These three were all experts brought from their respective families.

Even Luo Bingyan could be attacked when she goes out, let alone an alchemist of this level.

Therefore, it is essential to arrange adequate personnel for protection.

The three of them seem to have a good relationship.

When Lu Xuan appeared, everyone started pointing and commenting on him.

"Is this the newly promoted fifth-grade alchemist? He looks so-so, doesn't seem like he has much skill."

"Brother Feitian, we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. This old man may not look like much, but he might have some unique qualities. Perhaps he's good at flattery..."

"Hahaha……"

Three fifth-rank experts were whispering to each other nearby.

Even though the three of them were deliberately lowering their voices, their demeanor and the fact that everyone present was an expert meant that no matter how low their voice was, they could still hear it clearly.

When Luo Bingyan heard the three men speak rudely to Lu Xuan, her eyes immediately turned cold.

She didn't care about the lives or deaths of others.

But Lu Xuan was her savior.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, our Alchemy Peak is a sacred place for alchemy, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Please leave."

The voice of Sect Master Luo Yao came through.

One sentence was enough to make the smiles of those three fifth-rank experts vanish instantly.

They are powerful fifth-rank experts!

Wherever you go, aren't you a respected figure?

And now, Luo Yao is actually telling them to leave directly?

Saying goodbye sounds nice.

To put it bluntly, that means get the hell out of here!

The three of them looked extremely grim.

They looked at Huang Lian Zhenren and the others, hoping that Huang Lian Zhenren and the others could put in a good word for them.

However, Huang Lian Zhenren and the other two merely exchanged glances, then waved their hands, indicating that the three of them should leave first.

It was Luo Yao who spoke.

Moreover, Luo Yao already said yesterday that Lu Xuan was also a distinguished guest she invited, so if anyone says anything more, then she won't be polite.

That's why Huang Lian Zhenren and the other two didn't mock Lu Xuan today, but instead had their three guards do it, which could be considered a test.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yao's attitude was so firm. Since that's the case, it's best not to confront her head-on and leave first.

"snort!"

"Let's go!"

The three experts were clearly unconvinced, but this was the territory of the Xuan Yu Divine Sect. What level and status did they have? Did they need to care about the face of you fifth-rank martial artists?

Fifth-rank martial artists were nothing more than easy targets for Luo Yao to kill; she didn't even consider them a threat.

Lu Xuan, however, remained completely calm.

These fifth-rank cultivators were not even as strong as the Nine Absolute Divine Sect members he had killed last time.

Therefore, Lu Xuan didn't take it seriously at all.

They're nothing but ants.

Luo Yao glanced at Lu Xuan and saw that he wasn't angry or upset, so she breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she was surprised that she cared about an old man's feelings.

With the alchemy process imminent, Luo Yao didn't want to think about anything else.

"Gentlemen, the positions of yesterday's formation need to be changed."

"You three can continue with your formation as before. Master Lu, please rest here for now."
