Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

On the second day, Qin Qingrou came to invite Lu Yu to the market.

Lu Yu slapped his forehead, only then did he remember to inform Qin Qingrou about the payment for Wanling Tower, which made Qin Qingrou feel disgusted again.

The two of them went to the market together. Taking advantage of the opportunity for Qin Qingrou to handle the payment, Lu Yu quietly asked Liu the shopkeeper about the rental price of Sanxian Residence.

Upon hearing this, Liu the shopkeeper replied loudly, "During the outbreak of the fierce beasts, many scattered cultivators came. The cheapest residences in Sanxian Residence have all been taken, leaving only some independent caves."

"But those are not cheap."

Qin Qingrou, who was not far away, heard this and looked at Lu Yu with a hint of annoyance.

This guy, yesterday he refused with good reason, but today he secretly asked about the rental price of Sanxian Residence behind my back.

These male cultivators, most of them are not consistent in their words and actions.

Lu Yu felt embarrassed being looked at like that, but he still plucked up the courage to ask, "Then how much is the rental price for those independent caves?"

"The ones on the outskirts would cost a dozen or so medium-grade spirit stones per month. If you really want to rent, I can have my servant inquire for you," Liu the shopkeeper asked.

Lu Yu shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this and said, "What? A dozen or so medium-grade spirit stones? I can't afford that."

Just as he sighed, Liu the shopkeeper said again, "Don't worry, with so many scattered cultivators, the previously unused Yixian Residence might be reopened. It might be in a more remote location, but it's also adjacent to the market."

"But to be honest, it used to be where the outer disciples of Shengling Mountain lived. The conditions shouldn't be too good, but the price shouldn't be too expensive."

"If Fellow Daoist Lu really wants to rent, I can introduce someone to share the cost with you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu shook his head again. He didn't know what kind of person Liu the shopkeeper would introduce to him.

He had worked hard to refine spirit beast pills and had some wealth. If one day he accidentally revealed his wealth, his cave formation would be sealed, and he wouldn't even have a place to run.

Moreover, he had his family to take care of, so it wasn't convenient to live with others.

Moreover, in general, cultivators who could afford to pay the rent with medium-grade spirit stones every month should be high-level cultivators approaching Foundation Building.

These people probably wouldn't choose to live in a slightly worse condition Yixian Residence.

Although Yixian Residence also had the spiritual energy from Shengling Mountain, the underground formation had been neglected for a long time, and the transported spiritual energy had also been greatly depleted...

While Lu Yu was struggling with this, Liu the shopkeeper patted his shoulder and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, now is not the time to consider whether to live in Yixian Residence."

"The most important thing now is to refine more spirit beast pills. They are in high demand."

Lu Yu nodded upon hearing this.

After completing the procedures with Qin Qingrou, the two of them returned home together.

Along the way, Lu Yu was teased a few times, but he wasn't annoyed. He was lost in his own thoughts.

Liu the shopkeeper clearly had a lot of connections and information. Not only did he launch the payment service in a timely manner, but he also knew about the possibility of Yixian Residence being reopened.

It seemed that he needed to show more of his value in front of him in order to learn more insider information from him.

He had to seriously consider advancing his cultivation.

Although improving his spiritual root quality increased the speed of gathering spiritual energy, if his cultivation level didn't improve, the capacity of his spiritual energy pool would remain small.

If his cultivation level improved, not only would his spiritual energy pool increase, but his efficiency should also improve.

It seemed that he had to consider advancing his cultivation level.

The rental fee for Yixian Residence near the market might be a bit expensive, but it was important for his stable development, and it even affected Wenwen's happiness index.

From the incident of the bandit cultivator attack last time, Lu Yu had figured out some things.

Wenwen's happiness index was hindered by his low cultivation level, as he couldn't provide strong protection.

If he had the ability to move into Yixian Residence, it would also be a display of his strength. Perhaps Wenwen's happiness index would quickly rise.

After removing the poison from the six-eyed venomous insects, he still had to find a way to move closer to the market.

Places like the peripheral villages were no longer suitable, as they were threatened by fierce beasts and coveted by bandit cultivators. They couldn't meet Lu Yu's needs anymore.

After that, every time night fell, Lu Yu would invite his wives and concubines to help him refine his spiritual roots and cultivate his Soul Refining technique.

Until Ling'er and Wanwan both pleaded for mercy, saying they couldn't take it anymore, Lu Yu finally stopped.

And every time the day broke, Lu Yu would get up and go to the quiet room to refine the Spirit Beast Pill. With such diligence in earning spirit stones to support his family, Wanwan saw it and her happiness index increased by 3 points.

On this day, as the day broke, Lu Yu was about to enter the quiet room to refine the Spirit Beast Pill when he saw a male cultivator walking into the farmhouse.

When he saw Lu Yu, he bowed from a distance and politely said, "I suppose you must be Fellow Daoist Lu."

"I am Yu Jingzhi, here to pay a visit."

Lu Yu also quickly returned the gesture when he saw this. He noticed that the male cultivator had an empty left arm, but his aura was strong, similar to Qin Qingrou's. He guessed that this person should also be at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Naturally, he didn't dare to be negligent.

After chatting for a while, the cultivator then left with his empty sleeve swaying.

After that, it seemed that there were more cultivators walking in the village, but most of them were injured.

Some even sat in wooden wheelchairs, relying on spiritual energy to move around.

And Lu Yu's reputation as a diligent pill refiner gradually became known among the cultivators in the village, and there were even people coming to buy Spirit Beast Pills.

Lu Yu didn't want to make a fuss, but he couldn't stop the rumors. He could only gradually establish connections with the cultivators in the village.

After a month, the number of cultivators who moved in gradually decreased.

But it was said that there were still cultivators moving into the surrounding villages.

One sunny day.

While eating the fruits and vegetables that Ling'er had just picked, Lu Yu knocked on Qin Qingrou's side room door.

Qin Qingrou picked up the fruits and vegetables without any courtesy and said while eating, "Little Lu, do you know? The one-armed cultivator who visited the other day has been defeated."

"Many of the injured cultivators in the village have also been defeated."

Now Qin Qingrou and Lu Yu were getting more familiar with each other. When her mood was good, she would call him Little Lu, but when Lu Yu annoyed her, she would call him Fellow Daoist Lu.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's face immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Could it be that there are bandit cultivators again recently?"

He still remembered that Zhong Pengyu was planning to marry a nun from the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion but was killed by bandit cultivators.

Naturally, he couldn't get back the two bags of Dashi Pills he had borrowed.

But he didn't expect that the situation had stabilized, and there were bandit cultivators daring to act recklessly around the Holy Spirit Mountain.

However, Qin Qingrou shook her head repeatedly and chuckled, "You didn't foolishly borrow money from someone again, did you?"

Lu Yu listened and laughed, not annoyed. Instead, he anxiously asked, "How did those cultivators die?"

"Those with injuries are all outer disciples or servants expelled from the Holy Spirit Mountain after the savage beasts went wild."

"Their hearts turned to ashes, and they no longer cared about money. They sought out people from the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion and were happily defeated."

"Living in the moment is better than living forever..."

While sighing, Qin Qingrou looked meaningfully at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu felt a little annoyed by her gaze. She then said, "Now you have something to look forward to in your life. Don't think about it too much and let those dirty scoundrels take advantage of you."

"Otherwise, Qin sister will look down on you."

Lu Yu listened and felt speechless. After a while, he said, "Qin sister, are you saying all this just to mock me?"

Could it be that this Qin sister at the eighth level of Qi Refining really intended to marry him?

He touched his fairly handsome face and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Or is it that his begging for mercy in the middle of the night disturbed her, and she was just subtly reminding him?
