After Flirting, He Ran Away And Was Chased By A Witch At The Beginning.

You Lianrou's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Bai is dead?

No, no... Soon, she calmed down.

If the person chosen by Profound Heaven Enchanting Bone encounters an accident, she would definitely sense it.

But now, she had no reaction. This means that Lu Bai is safe and sound.

"Who told you?" You Lianrou asked calmly.

"Bai Qi."

You Yuan nodded confidently. "A while ago, Lu Bai went to Jewel River Desert to search for minerals, and the Bai family is stationed there all year round, so they are well-informed. It is said that he was killed by an Evil Cultivator from Bone Spirit Mountain."

You Lianrou remained silent.

"Don't be sad, Lianruo. Just treat him as a passerby," You Yuan comforted.

"Sister, that Lu Bai, I heard he is only at the Qi Refining stage, he is not worthy of you at all," You Guanyu interjected.

"That's right, Qinglang is the perfect match for you," You Yuan agreed.

"Bai Qinglang is not worthy of my sister either," You Guanyu retorted.

You Yuan frowned. "Then who do you think is worthy of Lianruo?"

"No one," You Guanyu said proudly.

You Lianrou chuckled.

Her younger brother had always admired her since childhood, thinking that no man in the world was worthy of being his brother-in-law.

Seeing that You Lianrou seemed to be in a good mood, You Yuan thought to himself that this Lu Bai guy didn't hold much weight in her heart after all.

That's good.

"Lianruo, think about it carefully. The marriage between the You and Bai families would be mutually beneficial, and that's what Grandfather and the Bai family head both hope to see," You Yuan said.

You Lianrou pondered for a moment and said, "Doesn't Bai Qinglang have a sister? If our cousin marries her, we can achieve the goal of the alliance."

An image of a figure even fatter than a pig suddenly appeared in You Yuan's mind, making him feel nauseous.

If Lianruo proposed this plan, Grandfather might actually agree to it.

Damn it! Absolutely not!

You Yuan's face turned pale.

Seeing him like this, the siblings tried hard to hold back their laughter.

You Yuan was no longer in the mood to persuade You Lianrou and bid farewell.

You Guanyu trailed behind and whispered, "Sister, Father asked me to tell you something."

"Go ahead."

"Follow your heart's choice and don't consider the pressure from the family."

You Lianrou felt a warmth in her heart and replied, "Tell him to drink less."

You Guanyu shrugged. "That's probably not possible. He only listens to Mother's words."

"Sigh..."

You Lianrou sighed softly.

...

At the main peak of Clear Heaven Sect, in the Contribution Hall.

Lu Bai leaned against the window and handed over his identity plaque.

"Lu Bai? Four thousand five hundred and fifty?" The elder mechanically reported.

"Yes," Lu Bai replied, thinking to himself that at least it wasn't two hundred and fifty.

"What do you want to exchange for?"

Lu Bai stroked his chin. "I am currently at the ninth level of Qi Refining. What resources do you think would be suitable for me?"

The elder glanced at him.

With a smile that was not quite a smile, he said, "The resources you need are not available in our sect. They are all in the Jade Incense Sect."

Damn it!

A strange expression appeared on Lu Bai's face.

Has news about my spiritual bones spread here?

Ahem!

He cleared his throat and said, "Elder, please don't make a fuss. I am serious."

"I wasn't joking with you either."

The elder said solemnly, "From what I know, the effect of cultivating your kind of spiritual bones is minimal. It is better to pair up with a man and a woman for twice the result with half the effort."

Lu Bai felt bitter in his heart.

The key is, I'm not that kind of person!

But he couldn't say it out loud.

Forget it, I won't ask for advice anymore. I'll just do it my own way!

"Do we have any Beast Cores in our sect?"

"We do."

The elder was slightly surprised that Lu Bai would ask about this.

Generally, low-level disciples use contribution points to exchange for techniques, martial skills, and Law Treasures, which are the most effective in improving their strength.

"But." The elder's tone changed, "They have all been reserved by the elders of Elixir Peak. If you can convince them, I will exchange them for you."

"This..."

Lu Bai thought to himself, I don't have that ability.

"How about a few of them?"

"Not even one." The elder's attitude was firm.

"What about minerals? I don't need a large quantity, and I can't afford it either. Small quantities will do."

"We have."

"But." The elder and Lu Bai said in unison.

Ah, I knew it, there's another damn problem.

The elder looked at him impatiently, "They have all been reserved by the elders of Artifact Peak."

"Fine! I don't have the ability to convince them either."

Lu Bai said casually, "Disciple remembers that alchemy and artifact refining materials didn't seem to be so scarce before. What's going on now?"

"Hmph!"

The elder shook his head, "Didn't the two peaks just recruit a group of new disciples? The success rate of pill refinement and the quality of the products are simply unbearable, so it's normal for materials to be in high demand."

"Oh?"

Lu Bai's eyes rolled around.

A low success rate and low quality mean there are more waste products and scraps... How are those things handled?

If I use Devour on them, I wonder if it will be effective?

Thinking of this, Lu Bai's heart started to itch.

I'll go take a look.

"You're not going to exchange anymore?" The elder asked in surprise when he saw Lu Bai about to leave.

"Mm." Lu Bai nodded.

"Mainly because the things I want to exchange for, you can't make the decision." He complained.

"Hey, this kid."

Lu Bai raised his head, turned around with his hands behind his back, and left, leaving the other person with a proud back to express his inner dissatisfaction.

"Don't you want the nameplate?"

"I do, I do." Lu Bai quickly turned back with a smile on his face.

...

Elixir Peak.

As soon as Lu Bai landed, he saw several junior disciples carrying baskets and walking towards the distance.

He glanced at the things in the baskets and immediately ran over.

"Junior brothers, where are these waste pills being taken?"
