Lu Chuan, Su Ming, and Mu Nanqing walked out together, and once again breathing in the air of Cloud City, all three of them felt a strange sense of emotion.

Speaking to himself, Su Ming said, “This time coming back, the skies of Cloud City will likely change.”

Unable to hold back, Lu Chuan laughed and remarked, “Didn’t expect you to be so sentimental.”

With a chuckle, Su Ming replied, “I’m just setting the mood.”

“Let’s go, back to the medical hall first.

I don’t know if the Long family’s people have caused any trouble for Old Zhou during my absence.”

The three hastened toward the direction of the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall.

Along the way, Lu Chuan heard many people discussing the wedding that the Long family was going to hold the next day.

His eyes narrowing slightly, he felt secretly relieved that he had returned just in time.

If he had come back a few days later, Chu Mengyao would have probably already fallen into Long Hao’s clutches.

“Well, this is good, I will go to the Long family tomorrow and give Long Hao a big surprise!”

The trio arrived at the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall.

Zhou Siming and others were visibly thrilled when they saw Lu Chuan return alive, almost doubting their own eyes.

After confirming that the Lu Chuan in front of them was indeed real, Zhou Siming quickly ushered them into the medical hall and cautiously closed the hall’s main door.

During this time, Long Tianya was constantly having his people pay special attention to the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall, often sending men to make trouble.

However, since the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall was an investment by Ning Xin, and Long Tianya, bold as he was, wouldn’t dare provoke Capital City’s Ning family, he hadn’t dared to do anything too outrageous.

Add to that Zhou Siming’s reputation in Cloud City’s traditional medicine circle as significant as Tai Shan, respected and esteemed, no one dared to cause him harm, so the business of the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall wasn’t affected, and the three types of elixir pills continued to sell like hotcakes.

It was just that the stock Lu Chuan had previously made was running low, and if he had not returned, the three types of elixir pills would soon be out of stock.

Upon finding out that the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall hadn’t been deliberately targeted, Lu Chuan was also relieved.

After he had rested a bit and given many instructions to Su Ming and Zhou Siming, he began to wait for Long Hao and Chu Mengyao’s wedding day to come.

The next afternoon.

Lu Chuan made thorough preparations, intending to set off for the Long family, to seek revenge on Long Tianya and Long Hao.

He told Su Ming to stay at the medical hall to protect Mu Nanqing, Zhou Siming, and the others, promising that he would surely return alive.

Even if he failed in his revenge, he was confident that no one could stop him if he needed to flee.

He was self-assured in this regard.

To be on the safe side, he told Mu Nanqing to pack up in case they needed to make a quick getaway.

However, just as he was about to leave, he saw Qin Lan walking over, arm in arm with a man in his thirties, gaunt of face.

Although the man had an extraordinary presence, his complexion was somewhat pale, as though he suffered from kidney deficiency.

Seeing his ex-girlfriend Qin Lan again, Lu Chuan felt no ripple in his heart.

However, he did not know what Qing Lan was doing at Hanging Gourd Medical Hall at this time, nor who the kidney-deficient man she was with was.

Qin Lan pressed against the man like an obedient cat and pointed at the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall, saying, “Darling, this is the place.

The Vital Essence Regenerating Pill and the Qi Nourishing Pill are sold here.

The guy who introduced these two elixir pills even had a grudge against me.

But happily, he’s already dead.

The pill formulas for these two pills must be in the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall.

If you snatch these formulas, our entire sect will benefit endlessly.

Who knows, this might even make you an elder in the sect!”

The man with kidney deficiency showed an excited grin on his face and said, “The Qi Nourishing Pill and the Vital Essence Regenerating Pill are unsurpassed in nourishing the body, especially in replenishing vital essence.

For those of us practicing the All Joy Sect’s cultivation techniques, they’re the perfect supplement.

This time I must take these two elixir pill formulas back with me to gain merits.”

The two arrived at the entrance of the Hanging Gourd Medical Hall.

Just as Qin Lan was about to enter, she saw Lu Chuan standing at the entrance of the medical hall and stopped dead in her tracks.

Then, with a face full of surprise, she said, “Lu Chuan, weren’t you dead?”

Lu Chuan let out a cold laugh and said, “Disappointed, aren’t you?

I have a large life; I clawed back from death.”

Qin Lan, unable to believe it and clearly annoyed, said, “You really are like a cockroach, not even dying after falling into the River Ling.”

“And yet you dare to come back.

Aren’t you afraid that Long Tianya will come after you again?”

Lu Chuan curled his lips and said, “I’m actually on my way to seek vengeance on him.

As for you, I see you’ve picked up even this kind of guy who obviously suffers from kidney deficiency after just a few days.

You really aren’t picky, are you?”

Qin Lan immediately burst into a string of curses, “You’re courting death!

Do you know who my darling is!

Let me tell you, he’s from the All Joy Sect, and he’s that legendary Transcendent Realm skillful expert, on the same level as Long Hao.

I’ve heard that you couldn’t even lift a hand against Long Hao back then.

I advise you to kneel and apologize to my darling right now, or you won’t live through today!”

Lu Chuan raised his eyebrows, not expecting this seemingly kidney-deficient guy to be a Transcendent Realm expert.

He was genuinely curious about how Qin Lan managed to hook up with such a high-level master.

But just hearing the name All Joy Sect, it sounded downright inappropriate—as if it were some kind of crooked or deviant path.

He sneered and said, “Oh, so you’ve got a backer and grown bold?

Have you forgotten how you knelt before me, begging for mercy?”

Qin Lan’s face changed, her teeth clenched as she glared at Lu Chuan, and she turned to the man next to her saying, “Darling, the Qi Nourishing Pill and the Vital Essence Regenerating Pill were concocted by him, and he also bullied me before.

Quickly strike him down, break his limbs, and help me vent my anger.”

The man with kidney deficiency stared at Lu Chuan and said coldly, “You’re the first one to dare say I have kidney deficiency.

State your name—I never kill the nameless.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “My name is Lu Chuan.

Since you’ve asked for my name, why not tell me yours as well?”

The man with kidney deficiency said proudly, “Ruan Nan!”

Lu Chuan was taken aback, “Ruan Nan?

Really lives up to the name.”

Ruan Nan’s face flashed with anger, detesting others making fun of his name, and he gritted his teeth saying, “Kid, are you looking for death?”

Lu Chuan shrugged and said, “I’m just telling it like it is.”

Ruan Nan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked, “Do you have the pill formulas for the Qi Nourishing Pill and Vital Essence Regenerating Pill?”

Lu Chuan nodded, “Indeed.”

Ruan Nan said, “Hand over these two pill formulas to me, and I can spare your life.

We can also call it even between you and Qin Lan, how about that?”

At these words, Qin Lan felt discontent, “Darling, isn’t this letting him off too cheaply?”

Ruan Nan said, “My sect, the All Joy Sect, has a not-so-good reputation.

If I kill someone here, the Censorate Department’s people will get involved.

It’s better to avoid trouble if possible.”

Qin Lan looked displeased but said no more.

Lu Chuan looked at Ruan Nan with a smile and said, “What gives you the illusion that you can kill me?

You want the pill formulas for the Vital Essence Regenerating Pill and the Qi Nourishing Pill, you can have them.”

His eyes suddenly turned sharp.

“But you’ll have to pay with your life!”
