"That Zhao Wu is really promising! At this rate, becoming a marquis or a king will be a piece of cake for him in the future!"

Upon hearing the news from his youngest apprentice, Zhao Hei, Zhao Banshan's previously dejected spirits instantly lifted, and he said with certainty, "It seems that to save my Zhao family from this dire straits, we really have to rely on this child, Zhao Wu!"

Immediately afterward, Zhao Banshan's expression hardened, a sinister glint in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "According to military regulations, once someone becomes a commander of ten thousand, they are a true general. Moreover, they will have a month-long leave to visit their family. You must immediately write a letter to Zhao Wu and send it to him as soon as possible. Remember, in the letter, you must emphasize that Fang Han killed Daoist Qingshan. Make sure he informs Prince Li Wentian, the commander of the Demon Suppression Army, of this matter and requests that the prince send two experts at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage to assist Zhao Wu. Only in this way can we ensure that Fang Han is completely killed without any mistakes!"

"Father, I understand, I'll go and do it right away!"

Zhao Tiancheng responded, his previous depression and gloom vanishing, and hurriedly turned to find a writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Before long, a letter was written in great detail.

Zhao Tiancheng respectfully presented the letter to Zhao Banshan for review. After Zhao Banshan nodded in approval, he solemnly handed the letter to his closed-door disciple Zhao Hei and instructed him, "Zhao Hei, quickly give this letter to your senior brother Zhao Yuanbiao and tell him to send it out as soon as possible without any mistakes!"

Currently, most of the Demon Suppression Army is stationed in the southern region of the Demon Suppression Army.

It is said that the seal that suppresses demons there has been loosened, and demons are constantly escaping from the gaps in the seal. Therefore, the Southern Region has become the main battlefield for the demon-suppressing army.

However, this southern region is a desolate and bitterly cold place, far away from Yanming City.

The messenger bird had never been to the Southern Region Demon Suppression Army's garrison, so a special envoy had to be sent. Even at top speed, it would take quite some time to arrive.

However, with this glimmer of hope, this absolute hope, the Zhao family members hiding in the basement gradually calmed down and were no longer as anxious and worried as before.

At the same time, Zhao Banshan and Zhao Tiancheng also arranged for Qingniao to deliver a message to Shenyi Valley.

If the Zhao family's pill shop goes out of business, not only will the Zhao family's pill business suffer, but the business of Divine Doctor Valley will also suffer.

After all, the Zhao family could only refine Body Tempering Pills; the Meridian Opening Pills were sent by the Divine Doctor Valley. The Zhao family was merely acting as a distributor for the Divine Doctor Valley in Yanming City.

...

In the days that followed, the Fang family's business flourished like a spring flower, growing ever more prosperous and successful.

As a result, the Zhao family's pill business plummeted. Almost no one set foot in those ten pill shops anymore, since who would spend more money to buy low-grade pills?

The Divine Weapon Pavilion displays all sorts of divine weapons and sharp artifacts, their cold gleam dazzling.

Martial artists came and went in an endless stream.

The medicine shop was also bustling with people, and the rich aroma of medicine filled the air, attracting the attention of passersby.

The constant stream of customers brings in substantial profits.

At this moment, even phrases like "making a fortune every day" seem too pale and fail to accurately describe the Fang family's daily income, which rolls in like a surging tide.

With the assistance of Lin Xunhuan, the head of Lin Yin Pavilion, and several respected and experienced elders of the Fang family, these complex and important business affairs were managed in an orderly manner.

They shuttled between the shops and the accounting office every day, checking accounts, negotiating business, arranging weapons, and counter-attacks, all running smoothly.

As the backbone of the Fang family, Fang Han spends most of his time cultivating.

In his spare time, he meticulously guided the Fang family members and his disciple Gongsun Yaoqin in their cultivation, and instructed the Fang family members in crafting weapons and pills.

Master Huang now resides at the Fang family's residence, devoting himself to the study of alchemy.

Gongsun Yaoqin's progress in weapon crafting is remarkable, progressing by leaps and bounds.

Fang Han knew that a balance between work and rest was the way of both literature and martial arts. Gongsun Yaoqin, Zhou Chi, Fang Qing, and Fang Yingxue were all young and energetic. If they only buried themselves in the boring cultivation every day, they would inevitably become tired and it would not be conducive to improving their mental state.

One day, Fang Han summoned everyone to the courtyard and said, "You lot, it's not good to stay in seclusion all day long. These three days are a holiday for you. I'll take you out for a walk, to enjoy the scenery and relax. You should know that alchemy, weapon crafting, and cultivation all require a peaceful and agile mind. You can't achieve anything by just working hard blindly."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback at first, then their faces lit up with bright smiles, and they were overjoyed.

Where do you want to go for fun?

Fang: "Brother, if you ask me, how about we go to Yin Yang Mountain to kill monsters? We can hone our skills and rid the country of a scourge at the same time—it's a win-win situation!"

Fang Yingxue said with a smile.

Fang Yingxue is now a high-level martial artist, exuding a fearless and heroic spirit. She yearns for the challenging Yin-Yang Mountain and is determined to hone her martial arts skills in this dangerous place.

Upon hearing this, Fang Han immediately shook his head and said gently, "My intention for these three days is to let you relax your tense nerves. Let's not go to Yin Yang Mountain for now. There are countless demonic beasts there, and their strength varies greatly. With your current strength, it would be too dangerous for you to go there rashly."

Gongsun Yaoqin blinked her bright eyes, tilted her head, and asked with great curiosity, "Master, where do you think we should go to play?"

Fang Han tilted his head slightly, looked into the distance, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "Let's go to Sunset Grassland. It's vast and boundless there, with wild rabbits darting through the grass and eagles soaring in the sky. We can go and experience the joy of riding and archery."
