Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

In recent years, Gongsun's Housekeeper has risen steadily in his career, thriving and prospering. He has gained the trust and reliance of the Xiong Family's upper echelons, and received the support and loyalty of the family servants and guards.

Whatever the task, he always managed to handle it with seamless success.

He almost always guaranteed the quality and quantity of the tasks assigned by his superiors.

The only blemish in his life was Gongsun's Housekeeper's body, which was becoming increasingly 'weaker', to the point where he had even started to experience erectile dysfunction in the past few years.

"Tsk tsk! It feels so good to become a man again!" Gongsun's Housekeeper couldn't help but close his eyes, smack his lips, and his face was also brimming with a happy and content smile.

In his mind, the face of a young man appeared involuntarily.

It was that unexpected encounter, because of his moment of kindness, that he received the young man's help. Unexpectedly, that young man seemed to be no older than seventeen or eighteen, but his abilities were astonishingly strong.

With just three elixirs given to him, his long-standing and incurable hidden ailment was cured.

"Who exactly is that young man? I sought out many formidable Pill Masters to cure my ailment, even including two Alchemy Venerates. Even they were at their wit's end, could that young man be even more formidable than them?"

At that time, Gongsun's Housekeeper didn't realize how extraordinary Chu Feng was, he simply felt that it was incredible how the young man could see through his hidden ailment with just one glance.

Now, after more than half a month, his renewed vitality made him realize that the young man was truly exceptional.

"That's right, the young man was being pursued by a General under the orders of the Panlong Heavenly Emperor. It shouldn't be difficult to find out his identity." Gongsun's Housekeeper purely wanted to find the young man to express his gratitude.

That young man fled towards the Divine Martial Continent, and by now, he must have already reached this land.

He is being pursued, in a dire situation, and I could offer him shelter by my side.

By helping my benefactor, I could also gain a medical saint and an Alchemy Dao genius by my side.

Thinking of this, Gongsun's Housekeeper couldn't remain seated. He immediately ordered his subordinates to inquire about the identity and current whereabouts of the young man being pursued by the Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

Although the Xiong Family is merely a second-rate merchant dealing in medicinal materials, by relying on the relationship that Lady Xiong has as one of the Eight True Inheritors of the Extreme Cold Cave, they have a fair amount of influence on the Divine Martial Continent.

Whether it's the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country or the Panlong Heavenly Kingdom, or some various large and small Sects, all of them grant a bit of face to the Xiong Family.

On the routes for transporting medicinal materials, there may not be smooth sailing and unhindered progress, but there aren't many who dare to cause troubles or rob them.

After making money, the Xiong Family Master was also very good at socializing.

Whenever encountering knights or good men of the Worldly society fallen on hard times, he would generously lend a helping hand. Whenever those Great Sects or powerful forces were hosting grand celebrations, he would send people to make a generous contribution as a token of his congratulations.

Sometimes, he would even attend in person to offer his greetings.

Thus, the Xiong Family's connections on the Divine Martial Continent gradually expanded. Likewise, the family's business on the continent continued to grow.

"The young man effortlessly cured my hidden ailment. So, for Madam Xiong's illness, if the young man made a move, there should also be a great chance of curing it. I must report this matter to the master!"

Gongsun's Housekeeper, who had served the Xiong Family for many years, was indeed loyal and devoted.

Over the years, the Xiong Family had treated him very well.

Not only had they ensured that he was well-clothed and well-fed, but they also helped him raise his cultivation to the Sword God Realm. He had been awarded with numerous Advanced Level Skills and secret books, endowing him with extraordinary strength.

This was the basis on which he relied for his survival.

In order to secure his position as the chief steward of the Xiong Family, it was imperative to have corresponding strength.

There were countless capable servants and employees in the Xiong Family. People of strong ability were everywhere.

Gongsun's Housekeeper's rise above the others was also inseparable from his own strength.

...

Within the great city, the Xiong's Mansion spans more than a thousand rooms. Continuous and connected, it resembles a splendid stretch of mountains and rivers, endless and magnificent to behold.

In the front area of the back garden, there are several extremely luxurious residences.

The one in the middle is where the current Xiong Family Head lives. The courtyard is planted with many exotic flowers and unusual plants, and even has a few white cranes, complemented by artificial mountains and pavilions, appearing like a paradise on earth.

It is said that before assuming the position of Family Head, the Xiong Family Master was the most unremarkable among the many young masters.

Even the elderly head sent him away to a Medicine Mountain belonging to the Xiong Family to plant Medicinal Herbs.

It was at that time that the Xiong Family Head met a beautiful girl two years his junior. Her background was not bad either; she was a lady of significant family, a miss of a reputable house.

The girl had a favorable impression of the Xiong Family Head, and the two often met secretly.

Unfortunately, once the girl's family learned that the Xiong Family Head was just a dissolute young master of the Xiong Family, they vehemently opposed their relationship. To completely sever the emotional ties between the two, the miss's family came up with the most common solution.

They arranged a matchmaking meeting for the miss with an outstanding heir of a prestigious family.

Perhaps to completely disillusion the Xiong Family Head, or maybe because that prestigious heir learned that his fiancée had an affair with the Xiong Family Head, deeply involved and unable to extricate herself.

He must have been extremely resentful in his heart.

So, he personally orchestrated a humiliation for the Xiong Family Head.

On that day, under the arrangement of the prestigious heir, the Xiong Family Head saw his beloved for the first time after many days. What followed was the humiliating performance. He was abused by that prestigious heir worse than a dog, utterly losing face.

Who knew that after the Xiong Family Head was humiliated, the beautiful miss would protect him at all costs, and publicly declared their romance.

In a fury, the prestigious heir ordered his men to forcibly take the beautiful miss away.

It was from that moment that the Xiong Family Head resolved to change himself, to strive and better himself.

He stopped being idle and started earnestly learning from the Medicine Farmers, learning various techniques for planting medicinal herbs and identifying different medicinal materials. Sometimes, it must be said, adversity really can change a person.

It spurs one to move forward.

In just a short year's time, the Xiong Family Head achieved a reversal of fortune, made significant contributions, and won the elder's approval.

The elder did not rush to call him back to the family, but instead still let him struggle on that Medicine Mountain.

However, he did provide some assistance. The prestigious miss who inspired the Xiong Family Head to strive and struggle was secretly protected by the elder, preserved for the Xiong Family Head all along.
