After nearly ten days of flight, Xuan Yuanhao returned to Jiangshan. At this time, it had been more than a month since he left Jiangshan.

Xuan Yuanhao, who returned to Jiangshan, seemed to be the same boy as before, and seemed to be no longer the same boy as before.

Xuan Yuanhao immediately went to Xu Haitian, the head of the Xu family, and told Xu Haitian a handwritten letter from his master Wei Dansheng.

In the letter, Wei Dansheng told Xu Haitian that he and Xuan Yuanhao had passed the sixth and seventh grade alchemist assessment respectively. He no longer returned to Jiangshan Town, but stayed in the alchemy association in the imperial capital, so he no longer served as a special entrusted by the Xu family. He also thanked the Xu family for their concern for the past three years. The elixirs needed by the Xu family can be handed over to Xuan Yuanhao for refining, and the head of the Xu family is welcome to visit the imperial capital Mingzhou Prefecture.

Xu Haitian was a little disappointed. He originally thought that he could win over Wei Dansheng and strengthen the Xu family's popularity, but he should always leave. How could he keep a sixth-grade alchemist in the small Jiangshan Town?

Fortunately, Xuan Yuanhao came back and left a seventh-grade alchemist, and another seventh-grade alchemist.

But he also knew that one day, the genius boy in front of him would also fly away, and it would not be possible for Jiangshan Town and his Xu family to be bound by him.

Unfortunately, if there was no Ziyun Sect incident, the young man in front of him would definitely be Qin'er's good match; but how could a small Xu family compete with a powerful sect?

What's more, the Xu family also relies on the breath of Ziyun Sect to survive.

As the head of the Xu family, he had no choice; as the daughter of the head of the family, Qin'er also had no choice.

Xuan Yuanhao went to see Xu Ziqin again.

When he saw Xu Ziqin, Xuan Yuanhao couldn't believe his eyes. In just one month, Xu Ziqin became so melancholy and frivolous.

I am no longer so enthusiastic about Xuan Yuanhao, and it seems that I am deliberately neglecting myself.

Even when Xuan Yuanhao gave Xu Ziqin the gift he bought from the imperial capital, Xu Ziqin just smiled slightly and did not show any special happiness.

It was only when I heard that Xuan Yuanhao's martial arts realm broke through to the third level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm and passed the assessment of the seventh-grade alchemist.

This made Xuan Yuanhao puzzled. He still remembered the feeling of being moved when he first met Xu Ziqin in the inner courtyard of Xu's family. He remembered that Xu Ziqin took the initiative to come to the elixir workshop to talk to him. He remembered that he had a great time in the martial arts competition with Xu Ziqin. He remembered that Xu Ziqin showed joy when he gave Dingyan Dan...

In just one month, what exactly happened that can make a girl in the flower season undergo such a big change?

"Have you heard about me?"

"Forget it, you will know it in the future, it's better if you don't know it now."

Before Xuan Yuanhao could answer, Xu Ziqin had denied his question.

Yes, as the daughter of the head of the family, she never had to decide on her own marriage.

What's more, she and Xuan Yuanhao only admire each other, never expressed their feelings, and never made promises to each other. It was like a breeze blowing through the lotus pond, and the lotus nodded. After the wind passed, everything returned to peace, that's all.

A genius like Xuan Yuanhao who is soaring and flying in the sky is not a small world like Jiangshan, and she is not a person who is Xu Ziqin.

Regarding Xu Ziqin, in addition to her appreciation or gratitude, Xuan Yuanhao didn’t know much about her.

To be more precise, Jiangshan Town is just a station in Xuan Yuanhao's life. He has this higher sky and a farther goal, the mystery of his life experience, his father and mother, and his martial arts pursuits, so Xuan Yuanhao has no time to stay and dare not stay.

Therefore, Xuan Yuanhao did not dare to know too much about Xu Ziqin, nor could he know too much about Xu Ziqin.

Heaven and earth are the backward journey of all things; time is the passerby of a hundred generations. Life is like a dream, how much joy is it?

Xuan Yuanhao has his own pursuits, and Xu Ziqin has his own responsibilities. The two young people are like travelers facing each other. Even if they meet at a certain inn, they will not delay their trips for it.

The alchemy room also made a conclusion. What Xuan Yuanhao needs most now is martial arts strength. It is meaningless to spend more time on alchemy, so Xuan Yuanhao closed the alchemy room.

According to the instructions of his master Wei Dansheng, if the other apprentices were willing to continue to follow Wei Dansheng, they would ask the Xu family to help send it to the imperial capital; if they were unwilling to leave Jiangshan Town, Xuan Yuanhao would pay a severance fee.

Being able to follow a sixth-grade alchemist, and in the Alchemist Association in the imperial capital, will all rise to the next level, regardless of identity, status, or future achievements. The other seven apprentices will naturally unanimously decide to continue to follow the master.

Xuan Yuanhao's return caused a lot of sensation in Jiangshan Town.

The main reason is that Xuan Yuanhao was promoted to a seventh-grade alchemist. In a small place like Jiangshan, it is not easy to train a seventh-grade alchemist, and this seventh-grade alchemist is also a core disciple of the Xu family's inner sect.

Zhang Family.

Zhang Mingyang, the leader of the Zhang family, sighed: Three years ago, the Xu family had no idea what luck he had, so he specially hired a seventh-grade alchemist as a worshiper. Now this seventh-grade alchemist has never returned, but he did not expect that an inconspicuous inner disciple would quickly grow into a seventh-grade alchemist. Is this God helping the Xu family? It is impossible to let the Xu family dominate. It seems that the suggestion proposed by the Ma family last time is time to consider it carefully.

About a month ago, Ma Xingtian secretly found the head of the Zhang family and proposed that the Ma and Zhang families join forces to remove the Xu family. The territory and industries of the Xu family were divided equally by the two companies.

However, the head of the Zhang family considered that the Ma family and the Xu family had a long history and that a war would break out sooner or later, and the Zhang family would take a different stance to watch the fire from the other side of the river.

Nowadays, seeing that the Xu family is dominant, the Zhang family's future living space may become smaller and smaller, so the Zhang family naturally needs to change their attitude and reconsider joining forces with the Ma family.

Ma's family.

The head of the Ma family, Ma Sikong and several elders looked at each other. Half a month ago, the eldest prince of the imperial capital reported that Xuan Yuanhao had been assassinated.

Now, Xuan Yuanhao is actually alive and returns home in glory. What is wrong with this?

The Ma family paid a huge price to make a comeback, climbed the thick legs of the eldest prince and fell into the whirlpool of the throne. No matter what the future holds, the Ma family can only go all the way to the darkness and there is no possibility of turning around.

"Xingtian, are the things the eldest prince wants ready?" Ma Sikong asked.

"Brother, you're ready. Are we really giving up such a treasure in order to get to the eldest prince?" The third elder Ma Xingtian was a little unwilling.

When the ancestor of the Ma family was young, he discovered a secret realm. There was a treasure hidden in the secret realm, but with his strength at that time, he could not open the channel of the secret realm. The ancestor of the Ma family had more selfish thoughts and did not report it to the court at this time, but instead drew down the secret realm and passed it on to the children and grandchildren for safekeeping, hoping that one day, the children and grandchildren could be strong enough to open it. Unexpectedly, the Ma family gradually declined, and the eagle turned into a night owl, which was worse than the previous generation, and the secret realm map could only be passed down from generation to generation.

Later, the eldest prince learned about the secret realm maps of the Ma family for generations, and took the initiative to find the Ma family to help the Ma family rise again as bait, and asked the Ma family to hand over the secret realm map.

"What can I do if I don't hand over this map? This map has been in our hands for so many years. With the current strength of our Ma family, we can't open the secret realm on our own. Our Ma family has fallen to this point, and will even be suppressed by the Xu family, who has risen in the countryside. If this continues, the Ma family will be removed from Jiangshan. What face can we have to meet the ancestors of the Ma family for generations?" Ma Sikong sighed helplessly.

"Last time the eldest prince said in his letter that he would send reliable people to pick up the map in the near future, and he would also send a group of powerful Yulin Guards to lurk in the Jiangshan area, just waiting for us to launch a general attack on the Xu family. These lurkers will act as surprise attacks. The way for the Ma family to rise, let's start with the Xu family!"

"We must also hurry up the secret contact with the Zhang family. It is best to win over the Zhang family. If not, we can also reveal the meaning of the eldest prince to the Zhang family. I think his Zhang family dare not oppose the eldest prince, and they know how to stand by and choose a position."

"The Li family has always been very close to the Xu family, so don't be alerted. If the Li family dares to go against us, they will probably be cleaned up together."

"As for the Zhang family, I will talk about it after everything is settled. Either follow my Ma family or get rid of Jiangshan Town."

"We want to build Jiangshan Town into the most solid back garden of our Ma family, starting from Jiangshan Town, reaching the imperial capital, and recreating the glory of our Ma family ancestors."

Ma Sikong's long and generous speech undoubtedly greatly enhanced the confidence of the Ma family. They are now looking forward to the Ma family moving towards the power center of Yunwu County and reappearing a brilliant and beautiful moment.
