Until the sky brightened, there was still a faint sound coming from inside the house.

Looking at Wanwan, whose face was blushing in his arms, Lu Yu said softly, "Wanwan, from now on, you will be my second wife."

After saying that, he got up and walked towards the side room, ready to start a new day of refining spirit pills.

...

Happy times always pass quickly, and the relationship between the two sister wives was not harmonious.

Seasons came and went, until the second summer.

The land outside the farmhouse was cultivated by Ling'er, and fruits and vegetables were planted, creating a lush greenery.

The scenery between the farmhouses became more pleasant, making Lu Yu feel content.

When he was struggling in the lower realm of cultivation, he had never paid attention to such scenery. But now that he was living a happy life, he had developed many leisurely interests.

A gentle breeze brushed his face in the summer, and a strong and majestic black bull walked leisurely in the distance.

Qin Qingrou, who was on the back of the bull, waved and greeted Lu Yu with a smile.

"Xiaolu, things are going well. Life is getting more comfortable."

"But it's true, now that you no longer seek immortality and longevity, it's natural to enjoy a carefree life with multiple wives."

Qin Qingrou could understand why low-level cultivators would take multiple wives. Although she was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, if a cultivator who had no hope of reaching the Foundation Building stage wanted to marry her, she would also comply.

After all, everyone has their own way of living. She had lived for so many years, and if she couldn't see through this, let alone pursuing Foundation Building.

Lu Yu handed her freshly picked fruits and smiled, "Qin sister, you're teasing me again."

"Xiaolu, you only know how to focus on refining spirit pills. You probably don't know about the death of Zhong Pengyu, right?"

Lu Yu's face suddenly changed, and his hand holding the fruits trembled.

"Zhong Fellow Daoist is dead?"

Qin Qingrou had been responsible for herding spirit cows outside the sect for some time now, and she often walked along this path, so she naturally had access to the latest news.

"It is said that the woman Zhong Pengyu married from the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion fell into the demonic path and devoured him. Even several spirit birds in the spirit beast field suffered."

"Be careful recently."

The Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, with its demonic sect background, had been the subject of wild rumors lately. Lu Yu was also somewhat surprised to hear this, as it turned out that there was some truth to it.

"Not only that, the violent beasts' rampage is getting worse, and there are even reports of high-level cultivators going out and injuring people."

"This area is about to become unstable." Qin Qingrou looked at the sweet fruits in her hand with a hint of regret.

No wonder the prices in the market had not yet recovered. It turned out that the violent beasts' rampage had not ended.

This rampage had been going on for almost two years.

The two chatted for a while, and Qin Qingrou patted the old cow under her seat, indicating that she was leaving.

Lu Yu also went to the market with her and asked the shopkeeper Liu. It was then that he realized that the situation with the violent beasts' rampage seemed to be getting out of control.

A few months ago, the rampaging violent beasts from the deep mountains were only intermediate-level beasts, but he didn't know when there were more and more hunting teams.

Some high-level cultivators went to investigate and returned with injuries, revealing that the violent beasts' rampage was gradually getting out of control.

But the shopkeeper Liu reassured him that the Holy Spirit Mountain had dispatched many immortals overnight, leading excellent inner disciples to suppress the rampage.

It was believed that the violent beasts' rampage would soon be suppressed.

However, Lu Yu couldn't help but worry. If the violent beasts' rampage could be suppressed, it would have been done long ago.

The prices in the market should have risen, gradually recovering.

It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future, as he didn't know if the violent beasts would charge towards his village.

Moreover, with the elite forces of the Holy Spirit Mountain suppressing the rampaging violent beasts, the control over the villages in their jurisdiction would probably immediately decrease.

By then, there would be an increasing number of bandit cultivators on the loose.

Almost everyone who cultivates is cultivating techniques and artifacts. They can intervene when they see injustice and naturally can also transform into bandits.

Whether it is good or evil depends on a single thought.

After hastily returning home from the market, Lu Yu's idle thoughts also faded a lot.

With the turbulent situation, he felt that the sword hanging over his head, in addition to the venomous one, now had another one.

With such an anxious mood, even the simplest process of refining the Dashi Pill occasionally went wrong.

Only after enjoying the pleasure of the fish and water did Lu Yu feel a little at ease when he heard the sound of prompts in his mind.

As a low-level cultivator in the cultivation world, he can live in this peripheral village thanks to the reputation of the Holy Spirit Mountain.

And also by keeping a low profile.

Generally, cultivators, in order to cultivate their techniques comprehensively, would also go to find fierce beasts to practice on and earn some spirit stones in the process.

But Lu Yu was very fortunate that he had never had such thoughts.

As a Qi Refining Second Layer ant, even if he was extremely careful, accidents would always happen. It would be difficult for him to escape unscathed from the deceitful hunting teams of cultivators.

Being a bandit cultivator can be addictive. Once you have experienced the almost effortless gains, it becomes difficult to not have evil thoughts.

And for a temporarily formed hunting team of cultivators, no one can guarantee that there are no hidden bandit cultivators among them.

Moreover, the means to conveniently earn spirit stones and improve one's cultivation level often only require a small bottle of poison...

It is easy to avoid an open spear, but it is difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. The path to immortality is long, and Lu Yu cannot afford to be anything but extremely cautious.

Cultivators fight each other all the time, so what could be considered a taboo thing?

Lu Yu understands this very well, otherwise he would not have left the Holy Spirit Mountain's periphery overnight after receiving one hundred low-grade spirit stones.

At this moment, he has no intention of sitting and waiting for death. He just wants to improve his own strength as soon as possible.

The severity of the situation is such that even Wan Wan, who is also a cultivator, has started to beg for mercy.

After more than half a year, Lu Yu hitched a ride on Qin Qingrou's ox cart and arrived at the market.

Before parting, Qin Qingrou looked at the several sneaky figures behind them and reminded, "Be careful on your way back. These people have been following you all the way, and they may have ill intentions."

Lu Yu was startled to hear this, but fortunately, he had already entered the market at this moment, where the cultivators of the Holy Spirit Mountain maintain order and patrol at intervals.

The sneaky figures behind the two of them also stopped for a moment before leaving separately.

Today is a market day, and Lu Yu thinks that it should be safer to find some cultivators to travel with.

After expressing his gratitude, he bid farewell to Qin Qingrou.

As soon as he stepped into the Wanling Tower, Liu the shopkeeper warmly greeted him.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, long time no see."

The two became more familiar, and his attitude naturally became casual, like greeting an old friend.

"There isn't much stock in the store. If I sell the Dashi Pills you made, I hope you won't mind."

Lu Yu nodded in response. Liu the shopkeeper had also taken care of him. At this moment, the prices in the market had plummeted, and he sold other people's goods first before keeping his own, which was already very considerate.

"It's alright. I understand the rules of the store." Lu Yu finished speaking and took out the Dashi Pills and Baosheng Pills from his storage ring.

Five hundred bags of Dashi Pills and fifty bags of Baosheng Pills, this was his inventory for the past half year.

Liu the shopkeeper's face showed surprise and joy. "You still willingly endure hardships!"

Lu Yu smiled faintly, "Liu the shopkeeper, do you have the materials for refining the Beast Spirit Pills?"

"Yes, yes, I was just worried that I couldn't find an alchemist to refine them."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you want a lot. I can give you a discount."

Lu Yu took out ten medium-grade spirit stones, which was already more than half of his possessions.

He had also figured it out. If he didn't take risks now, and if he was robbed by bandit cultivators, he would only become someone else's stepping stone. It would be better to take a gamble.
