When Qin Qingrou spoke, there was a hint of anger on her face: "Don't let me catch them, otherwise I will show them what they're made of."

Lu Yu quickly advised, "Sister Qin, those bandits gather in groups, and you are alone. It's better to be careful."

This advice made Qin Qingrou laugh playfully, "Xiao Lu, you're still so timid. You don't need to worry about Sister's affairs."

"These bandits need to gather courage. They are probably not high-level cultivators. I can easily handle them. I'm not afraid. But you and your two beautiful wives should be careful."

Lu Yu agreed repeatedly, naturally not doubting Qin Qingrou's strength.

If it weren't for Qin Qingrou grazing nearby, the peace here would have been long gone. Moreover, the spiritual cow she was sitting on belonged to the Holy Spirit Mountain. She was just an outer disciple responsible for grazing.

Even if the bandits were bold, they wouldn't dare to provoke the Holy Spirit Mountain. When they saw Qin Qingrou, they would only go around.

After teasing for a while, Qin Qingrou asked, "Xiao Lu, I heard that you asked Liu, the shopkeeper of Wanling Tower, for the materials to refine the Beast Spirit Pill?"

"Sister, you won't refuse if I ask you for some Beast Spirit Pills, right?"

As soon as Qin Qingrou finished speaking, the majestic and extremely intelligent black cow under her suddenly mooed, as if it was eagerly anticipating the Beast Spirit Pill.

Lu Yu was stunned when he heard this. How did the shopkeeper Liu turn around and sell him out?

It seems that he will have to be on guard against him in the future.

Qin Qingrou asked for it face to face, and Lu Yu couldn't refuse. He said, "Sister Qin, I just bought the materials to experiment at home. I haven't successfully refined them yet."

"If I succeed, I will definitely save some for you."

Qin Qingrou smiled and said, "No, you have as much as you have, and Sister will buy as much."

Without waiting for Lu Yu to refuse, she patted the black cow's butt and left.

But the black cow was drooling, looking back three times, showing extreme reluctance.

It seems that the temptation of the Beast Spirit Pill to spiritual beasts is great.

Lu Yu thought for a moment and then turned back to his room.

A few days later, Qin Qingrou came to visit again, bringing news from the nearby area as usual, and also mentioning the deaths of some cultivators.

She teased Lu Yu for being timid and urged him to speed up the progress of refining the Beast Spirit Pill.

Lu Yu was worried about Wanzhang's safety when she went out to visit her brother, so he accompanied her a few times, but each time they just inquired a little and then returned home.

But this also increased Wanzhang's happiness index, although it was still difficult to break through 60.

After more than half a month passed, one night, when Lu Yu was fighting with Ling'er and Wanzhang, he suddenly heard a cow crying incessantly.

He opened the door and saw bloodstains on the small road, but there was no sign of Qin Qingrou and the black cow.

Lu Yu quickly retreated into the house, feeling shocked. This was a warning from the black cow!

Could it be that Sister Qin also encountered bandits?

Looking at the bloodstains, could she be seriously injured?

Could she have really clashed with those bandits?

He was filled with doubts and suspicions.

The next morning, when he accompanied Wanzhang to inquire about her brother's whereabouts, he heard a group of cultivators gathered together, discussing animatedly.

From a distance, he could hear:

"Dead, they're dead. These bandits have caused panic in the hearts of the people nearby. I wonder which righteous cultivator took action."

"Now we can finally go out with peace of mind. Damn those bandits."

Lu Yu's heart trembled. Could it be that Sister Qin killed all those bandits?

He didn't go over to watch, but hurriedly returned home with Wanzhang.

A few days later, when Lu Yu was in high spirits, Qin Qingrou came to visit.

She had a pale complexion and a desolate expression. She only mentioned that she had borrowed a room nearby and had taken over Lu Yu's side room.

And her big black bull was nowhere to be seen.

The next day.

Lu Yu wanted to ask about the bandits, but he didn't dare to disturb Qin Qingrou, so he could only pace outside the door.

It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky that Qin Qingrou opened the door. She still had a pale complexion and a desolate expression.

After exchanging pleasantries with Lu Yu, when he mentioned the bandits, Qin Qingrou simply said, "Those murderous bandits, whether they're dead or not, what does it matter who killed them?"

After speaking, Qin Qingrou turned and went back to her room without coming out again.

Lu Yu wanted to ask about the big black bull, but he was shut out.

Seeing that Qin Qingrou seemed to be planning to stay for a long time, he had the villagers build a quiet room next to the farmhouse for refining spirit beast pills.

Lu Yu was now a sixth-grade pill refiner, and the threat of the bandits was no longer hanging over his head.

He felt that the time to refine the spirit beast pills had come.

Those willing to spend a great deal of spiritual energy to refine spirit beast pills were generally the lowest level cultivators among the cultivators.

They were like laborers, and perhaps only one out of a thousand or even a hundred people could become a middle-grade pill refiner at the sixth-grade level.

Among them, there were very few who could refine spirit beast pills. If it weren't for external help, Lu Yu probably wouldn't have reached his current level.

Lu Yu was now full of spiritual energy and full of confidence. This was the result of his hard work day and night, almost ruining Ling'er in the process.

But when he saw the newly built crude quiet room and stepped on the damp and smelly mud, his confidence instantly waned by half.

The conditions were more difficult than he had imagined.

He poured out the complicated materials for refining the spirit beast pills from his storage ring and silently recalled the method of refining the spirit beast pills.

Hard work, struggle... became the main theme in Lu Yu's heart once again.

Because his divine sense had already broken through, he could control more materials at the same time.

Although he failed once in refining the spirit beast pills, with the experience of the first failure, he succeeded one after another in the following two attempts.

He made a profit from this, and quite a lot of it.

In the following days, besides refining spirit beast pills, he listened to Ling'er's pleading and kept an eye on Qin Qingrou.

But after that day, it seemed that there was no one in the side room, and there was no more movement.

So he used the time he had set aside for observation to study the room technique jade slip given by Liu the shopkeeper and practiced it with Ling'er.

Following the principle of making the most of everything, he found out Ling'er's daily limit, which was nine times.

Well, it turns out that her previous pleas were all fake.

Lu Yu's days were peaceful and fulfilling.

With his unremitting efforts, Ling'er's happiness index gradually increased by 5 points.

And the improvement in Ling'er's spiritual root quality had never been neglected.

Since Lu Yu heard that the bandits had been killed, it seemed that he hadn't heard of any cultivators being killed either.

He gradually resumed his trips to the market, but he no longer had the convenience of the ox cart, which made him somewhat disappointed.

Qin Qingrou also became silent, sometimes going out alone, but she would return after a few days. Although she had originally said she would stay temporarily, she seemed to have no intention of leaving.

Another month or two passed, and winter arrived.

Suddenly, a large group of cultivators riding spirit birds from the outskirts of the market passed by the Holy Spirit Mountain.

The winter snow had not yet fallen, and the outbreak of fierce beasts had ended a month ago.

At this time, why did the Holy Spirit Mountain send out a large group of cultivators riding spirit birds?
