Chapter 781: Chapter 783: Harbor City, Guo Family

This city actually has pills that can preserve youth, which truly surprised Xia Liu.

After all, Harbor City had only returned to Huaxia close to the twenty-first century.

And there, they actually had such pills, which was quite strange.

“That’s right, the only place in Huaxia that produces such pills is Harbor City,”

Ye Xuan nodded. As for the origins of these pills, she didn’t know.

She only focused on the results.

The reason she knew about the youth preserving pills in Harbor City was because of a banquet five years ago.

The Ye Family had a cooperation with a medical family there.

At that time, they had invited that medical family from Harbor City to celebrate in Yanjing.

During the banquet, Ye Xuan had secretly inquired after the representative of that medical family, just like Xia Liu.

She didn’t know why, but at that moment, he had said there was something, just not as effective as the youth preserving pill.

After that, no matter how she asked, he would not speak another word.

Even now, when Ye Xuan asked again, they all denied it, saying how could such a miraculous pill exist.

But Ye Xuan was certain she hadn’t misheard back then.

The representative from that medical family had really said those words.

She explained everything to Xia Liu.

Whether Xia Liu trusted her or not was his issue.

Honestly, at the moment when Ye Xuan wasn’t sure, Xia Liu had wavered in his thoughts.

It might have been a bluff.

Five years ago, Ye Xuan must have been just over twenty, what if he was just teasing her.

But that couldn’t be confirmed either.

Any pill close to the effect of the youth preserving pill would be incredibly precious.

It’s very likely it was protected.

So its existence was highly possible.

“Does this medical family mainly make pills for martial artists or pills for cultivators?”

“This family is renowned in Harbor City. They primarily deal with various medicinal herbs needed by martial artists, such as for healing, improving cultivation, and all kinds of herbs.”

Ye Xuan couldn’t finish listing all of the family’s products at once.

However, she was certain that this family could refine pills needed by cultivators.

That’s because when she attended an auction in Harbor City, she saw a pill needed by cultivators come up for sale.

And in the whole of Harbor City, even in all of Huaxia, only this family might have the capability to refine such a pill, unlike other martial artist herb families.

“The group of this family is called Guo’s Pharmaceutical. On the surface, it’s registered as a normal medicinal herb company, but in reality, they specialize in herbs for martial artists.”

“Guo’s Pharmaceutical, I’ll remember that,”

Xia Liu nodded. No matter what the truth was, this was a clue.

Desiring to stay forever young was not only a wish for women, but Xia Liu was also quite interested in it.

“Do you really need the youth preserving pill that much?” asked Ouyang Lingtian, puzzled.

“I do need it,”

“Then you’re going to need a large quantity.”

Ouyang Lingtian smirked suggestively. With so many women around Xia Liu, if, if he really got his hands on a few pills, how would he distribute them then.

Well, that would be interesting indeed.

“Looks like you’re determined to go to Harbor City.”

“Of course. I’d rather waste a bit of time than miss out on this clue,”

Xia Liu replied forthrightly to Ye Xuan’s question.

“To tell you the truth, I also really want to visit Guo’s Pharmaceutical to investigate, but unfortunately, I have neither the opportunity nor the time.”

Ye Xuan shared her thoughts, even daring to assert that people between the ages of twenty and forty absolutely couldn’t resist the temptation of the Youth Preserving allure.

“Ha ha, if I could get my hands on a Youth Preserving Pill, or even some Pill or Herbs with youth-preserving effects, I’d definitely not forget this favor from Boss Ye.”

Xia Liu responded with a pleased smile. Women, whether cultivators or martial artists, all have a love for beauty.

“Brother, I want a share too.”

“Lingtian, you might as well forget it. A man looks better a bit older.”

“That’s true, but what if I get too old?” Ouyang Lingtian was now starting to worry about his future.

After all, he was now encountering many characters who were elderly with white hair and weathered faces.

In the path of cultivation, time flies by in the blink of an eye, like flowing water, and perhaps half a century could pass in an instant without one realizing it.

Hence, having a heaven-defying Youth Preserving Pill would definitely be an absolute perfect matter.

“If you’re old, you’re old, what’s there to fear with cultivation?”

“You may not be afraid, but I am. I’m reserving a share.”

Ouyang Lingtian was nearly crying. A Youth Preserving Pill, even without long-lasting effects, would definitely maintain one’s value for decades. Being able to look decades younger, that alone would be satisfying.

“We don’t have anything yet, can you not do this, okay? It puts pressure on me, what if this all turns out to be empty talk.”

“I believe in you.”

“I believe too.”

Ouyang Lingtian and Ye Xuan looked at Xia Liu with pitiful eyes simultaneously.

Because of the long-term cooperation, Ye Xuan had no way to infiltrate, and those who could complete this task.

Unless it was someone like Ouyang Lingtian, but with his low cultivation, he would be done for if exposed.

Therefore, Xia Liu was absolutely the most suitable candidate.

Even if he were discovered, with his current level of cultivation, the Guo Family wouldn’t be able to control him.

“I’ve received the confidence you’ve given me,” Xia Liu said seriously, nodding his head.

He was determined to go to Harbor City; if he could obtain the Youth Preserving Pill or similar herbs, that would naturally be great.

If not, then it would be considered a learning experience.

“I’ll have someone find you the materials of the Guo Family. I’ve been to Harbor City many times, but I’ve never entered the Guo Family, so I can only provide you with information that is public.”

“That’s enough, by the way, ask whether the Guo Family practices martial arts training or cultivation?”

This was the information Xia Liu was concerned about. If the Guo Family was a cultivator family, then things could be troublesome.

According to what Ye Xuan had introduced before, the foundation of this family was absolutely terrifying.

If it were a cultivator family, there would undoubtedly be cultivators in the family who had surpassed the Qi Cultivation Stage.

This was without question, or else they wouldn’t have been dealing with herbs for so many years.

“They should be a martial artist family, at least I’ve never heard of any cultivators in Harbor City.”

This was Ye Xuan’s assumption; the actual situation was unclear to her.

After all, in Huaxia, there were many unknown powerful individuals in existence.

Just like Xia Liu, if he hadn’t been encountered before, he would have remained obscure in the city.

There were far too many things that weren’t displayed openly.

Being a cultivator naturally carried a discipline of its own.

Once discovered, it could very likely bring disaster.

Especially for cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage who are weak.

If their identity was exposed, there could be Path-Entering Martial Artists coming after them.

“In that case, I’m quite stable.”

If it’s just a martial artist family, unless it’s a Path-Entering Martial Artist at their peak burning their Inner Origin, a few Semi-Spirit Arts could be enough for a fight.

“If all your cultivation seals were lifted, probably no one in this world could be your opponent.”

“Keep it low-key, sis. I don’t have the confidence to take on the entire world, at least not yet.”

“Don’t be modest. I’ve seen the situation in Huaxia; you’re already near the peak now. Once a few more seals are lifted, you would truly be invincible…”
