While on his way to Qingyun Pill Shop, Lu Yu also didn't forget to inquire about the news of when the immortal ship would arrive.

But he didn't ask for any useful information.

Time flew by, and more than a month had passed.

There was now one less month until they had to leave.

Lu Yu calculated that he was getting closer to the day when he could afford to buy the Dual-Headed Spirit Jiao with his savings.

Even the high-level Gathering Spirit Pills that he usually used for cultivation were now being used as pills to restore spiritual energy.

Only when his divine consciousness was tired would Lu Yu seek Qin Qingrou or Bai Lanshan for dual cultivation to relieve himself.

Under such high pressure, Lu Yu's face appeared somewhat haggard.

And the distant sky of purple thunder still showed no signs of stopping.

The market had returned to its usual tranquility.

However, during this time, many people left with abundant supplies, claiming to go deep into the Holy Spirit Mountain for hunting and never returning.

It was likely that they either died in the deep mountains or found a way to escape the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain.

Even though the fate of those who left in groups was uncertain, there was still a constant stream of people leaving.

Being able to establish oneself on the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain as a scattered cultivator might mean that their spiritual roots and qualifications were slightly inferior, but their minds were definitely not dull.

No matter how the Holy Spirit Mountain was promoted, there were always some scattered cultivators who didn't believe it.

And the more the purple thunder continued, the more non-believers there were.

The path to immortality was long, and no matter who it was, they wouldn't entrust their wealth and lives solely based on someone's words.

In this way, another half month passed, and the Holy Spirit Mountain welcomed the winter snow, which came earlier than usual.

Inside a quiet room, Lu Yu frowned as he refined the Spirit Beast Pill, and a white light appeared on his fingertip.

Lu Yu infiltrated his divine consciousness, and it was a message from Liu, the shopkeeper.

Perfect timing, he had also accumulated enough spirit stones.

After finishing the refining of the Hualing Attached Flame Pill, Lu Yu got up and left the quiet room.

He quickly freshened up and left Fengwu Residence, heading towards Wanling Tower.

When Lu Yu was not far from Wanling Tower, he suddenly noticed a divine bird descending from the sky above the backyard of Wanling Tower.

Upon entering Wanling Tower, Lu Yu saw that Liu, the shopkeeper, looked desolate and had lost his previous enthusiasm.

Liu, the shopkeeper, only lazily greeted Lu Yu when he saw him.

Lu Yu approached with some confusion and took out a large bag of Spirit Beast Pills and placed them on the ground.

During these days, he had produced too many Spirit Beast Pills, so in addition to selling them to Qingyun Pill Shop, Lu Yu also sold the excess to Wanling Tower.

After Liu, the shopkeeper, collected the spirit stones as usual, he slowly spoke, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I noticed that you have been lingering in front of the Spirit Beast Essence Shelf during your previous visits."

"If you have any items you are interested in, please buy them early, otherwise, you won't be able to buy them later."

Lu Yu's actions of collecting the spirit stones paused upon hearing this.

"Liu, what do you mean by that?" Lu Yu asked.

Liu, the shopkeeper, slightly lowered his head, a trace of sorrowful expression flashed across his face, and even the corners of his eyes turned slightly red.

After a long while, he spoke, "Wanling Tower is going to withdraw from the outskirts of the market."

"I have to stay behind."

After saying that, Liu, the shopkeeper, forced a bitter smile.

Lu Yu was about to ask a question when he noticed that many cultivators were coming from the backyard, collecting valuable goods from the shops.

Some people were even putting cheap items on empty shelves. Lu Yu focused his gaze and saw that most of them were low-grade spirit stones, ranging from a dozen to several tens.

He exchanged glances with Liu, the shopkeeper, and immediately understood what was happening. Without hesitation, he bought the Dual-Headed Spirit Jiao.

Liu, the shopkeeper, saw Lu Yu make a move and waved his hand, inviting Lu Yu to a room in the backyard.

He no longer had his previous restraint and casually brewed spirit tea to entertain Lu Yu, just like an old friend.

After they both sat down, Liu, the shopkeeper, sighed, "I'm already in my nineties this year, but I'm still stuck at the fifth level of Qi Refining."

"I've been working in this shop for forty to fifty years, spending more time here than at my own home."

"Well, it's good to see things through to the end."

"When a person gets old, they become useless."

He looked at Liu, the shopkeeper, who didn't have an old appearance, but he felt that he looked old and tired at the moment, with a few strands of gray hair on his temples.

In this situation, Lu Yu didn't know how to comfort him.

After listening to Liu's venting for a long time, Lu Yu finally got up to say goodbye.

At the moment he walked out of Wanling Tower, he had a feeling of being in a different world.

The world is desolate, and luck is not good.

This is Lu Yu walking in the bustling market, feeling a bit desolate.

After returning to Fengwu Residence from Wanling Tower.

Night fell.

Lu Yu prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited Qin Qingrou and Bai Lanshan, who were practicing in the small quiet room.

The two women were relieved because their husband suddenly stopped desperately refining the Spirit Beast Pill, but when they saw his dejected look, they couldn't help but feel nervous.

After drinking another glass of spirit wine, Qin Qingrou finally couldn't bear it anymore. She used a spiritual technique to take the three of them into the second-floor bedroom.

For a while, the spring in the garden turned into sadness.

Lu Yu vented for a long time before he turned over and hugged the two women, sighing softly.

"Husband." Bai Lanshan, with rare concern on her face, gently called out.

Tonight, she was very obedient and did not beg for mercy.

On the other hand, Qin Qingrou seemed to have the intention of exhausting Lu Yu.

"Xiaolu, no matter what lies ahead, at least you still have us by your side, right?"

Since the activation of the Soul Extraction Array by Leidong Jiuxiao, Lu Yu's face has been less relaxed than before, and his brows are often furrowed.

The two women also experienced Lu Yu's separation from Ling'er, and the image of her stubbornly shaking her head and shedding tears seemed to appear before their eyes.

Lu Yu nodded slightly at the words.

"Tomorrow, I will go to Qingyun Pill Shop to inquire!"

"We can't delay any longer."

Whether there is any news from Qingyun Pill Shop or not, he is prepared to leave with his wives.

In these few days, he must determine the way to leave.

Staying in the Soul Extraction Array for a moment longer means a moment of increased danger.

Lu Yu doesn't want to gamble on how the Holy Spirit Mountain will use the grand array, and he doesn't have the qualifications to gamble.

Only by taking his wives and leaving can he be at ease.

The next day, as the sky was getting brighter, Lu Yu finished grooming himself and was about to go out when the jade slip used to communicate with Jiang Yuru lit up.

After a quick glance, he realized that he was being asked to go to Qingyun Pill Shop.

After a while, he entered the shop, and Jiang Yuru immediately greeted him, looking a bit nervous.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're here."

"It was Senior Guo who asked me to inform you. He said there is an important announcement."

The two of them went upstairs to a private room.

After a while, other guest cultivators from Qingyun Pill Shop also arrived one after another.

"Is everyone here?" A deep voice suddenly sounded at the door of the room.

The person who came was a Nascent Soul cultivator in a blue Daoist robe.

He frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

"After half a month, a cargo immortal ship will come, and you can leave by then."

A cultivator who didn't understand stood up and asked, "Senior Guo, may we bring our family and loved ones with us?"

Senior Guo glared at the cultivator and said coldly, "Is what I said so hard to understand?"

"You can leave if you don't want to stay."

After speaking, Senior Guo turned around and brushed his sleeve, and a terrifying spiritual pressure rushed out from his sleeve.

The cultivators in the room all fell to the ground, and even the wooden table in the middle of the room, which was usually used for tea, was instantly shattered.

"Hmph!"
