Lu Yu sighed softly and gently pressed his hand on Wen Wen's forehead, comforting her, "Wen Wen, I don't blame you. If it were my older brother who went missing and his life and death were uncertain, I would also persist in finding out the news."

"But recently, there are many cultivators around, and it's a mixed bag. You and Ling'er should go out less."

"If you really need to go out, call me to accompany you."

He understood Wen Wen's feelings. In the eyes of his concubines, this was just a small grievance, but in Lu Yu's eyes, it was a big deal.

Wen Wen's happiness index was already not high. If it decreased because of this matter, he would be heartbroken.

In the following months, Wen Wen's visits to Xiangchun Tower decreased, and whenever she went out, Lu Yu accompanied her.

Even some female cultivators envied them. In the eyes of others, Ling'er and Wen Wen were just companions for Foundation Building cultivators who had no hope of advancement in their lives.

But they didn't expect that Lu Yu would dote on them so much. Especially when they saw Lu Yu walking ahead, opening the way for the two of them, they couldn't help but look at them with envy.

The fourth level of Qi Refining was neither high nor low, and no one dared to easily make a move.

Moreover, behind the three of them was Qin Qingrou, an eighth-level Qi Refining bodyguard hired with a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

One hundred low-grade spirit stones for one trip, and another one hundred low-grade spirit stones for the return trip. Qin Qingrou couldn't help but smile at this lucrative business.

When the wandering male cultivator who saw this scene in the remote area, he immediately distanced himself and even escaped from the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain.

He was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and if he encountered them, he would definitely be taught a lesson.

...

Time passed by in a daze.

Another month passed in the gentle spring breeze, and even the melon and fruit fields that Ling'er took care of were full of new sprouts.

The cultivators in the market no longer exhaled white mist as they walked.

At night, a faint fragrance wafted from under the steaming quilt.

[Last night, made my wife happy five times, intermediate spiritual root quality +25 (110348/1000000)]

[Wife's happiness index 100]

[Spiritual gathering speed +24]

[Pill Refiner: Seventh Rank of Earth Grade (12348/100000), can be advanced]

...

[Last night, made the female cultivator Wen Wen happy seven times, spiritual consciousness +21]

[Wen Wen's happiness index 75]

[Spiritual consciousness: Intermediate Rank (76413/100000)]

Listening to the daily rising numbers in his mind, Lu Yu's heart was stirred.

After breaking through to the seventh rank of the Earth Grade as a pill refiner, the experience required in the future almost increased tenfold.

If he continued at the current rate of spiritual gathering and pill refining, there was still a long way to go.

And he himself also needed to raise his spiritual root to the advanced level, which was probably equally difficult.

He wasn't too anxious about this. After all, there were very few cultivators who could refine beast spirit pills.

And it was likely that pill refiners of the eighth and ninth ranks of the Earth Grade would require even higher cultivation.

Fortunately, since the incident where Wen Wen was humiliated in Xiangchun Garden was handled properly, her happiness index had slightly improved.

When the prompt sounded, he was also somewhat surprised.

It seemed that in order to further increase Wen Wen's happiness index, he not only needed to be considerate, but also give her enough sense of security.

If he ignored the emotions of the two women, their happiness index might actually decrease.

"Tomorrow, I have to ask Sister Qin to protect me when I go to the market!"

Since Xiangchun Garden, Qin Qingrou had also found a way to increase her income, which was to charge Lu Yu for protection.

Lu Yu was also generous in giving.

He didn't mind these spirit stones, but going to the market with Qin Qingrou was not a complete solution.

But his daily cultivation of spiritual roots and divine consciousness consumes a great deal of spiritual energy and spiritual flesh. Not only does he need to replenish himself, but he also needs to provide for his wives and concubines.

Otherwise, the two women would not be able to endure the nightly requests for mercy for long.

The next day.

The spring rain was fine and cotton-like, weaving a curtain of rain between heaven and earth. The distant towering mountains also exuded a hint of solemnity and killing intent.

Amid Ling'er and Wanwan's reluctance, he called Qin Qingrou to join him on the road.

Qin Qingrou, with sleepy eyes, walked on the muddy path and complained irritably, "Xiaolu, your energy is too vigorous, isn't it?"

"Since I started using your side room, I have never had a good night's sleep."

"If we were to live together in the same immortal mansion in the future, I might as well not sleep at all."

Lu Yu felt embarrassed by her words. Since he expressed his intention to live in the immortal residence next to the market, Qin Qingrou would occasionally tease him about it.

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound ahead, and Qin Qingrou's phoenix eyes suddenly opened, emitting a burst of killing intent.

Unlike Lu Yu, who was powerless, she had killed many bandit cultivators while tending to the spiritual cows in the past.

Seeing this, Lu Yu quickly hid behind Qin Qingrou, earning himself a disdainful look.

"No backbone!"

After her coquettish scolding, she walked forward slowly and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the collapsed mountain.

After this incident, she no longer had the mood to tease Lu Yu. She just resumed her lazy expression and said, "Let's go quickly. Many cultivators have died recently."

"It's not safe to stay on this road for too long. Let's go and come back early."

After saying that, the two of them hurried on their way.

When they saw the entrance to the market from afar, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Qingrou looked at Lu Yu and said with some disdain, "You're already at the third level of Qi Refining, but you're still so useless."

"You go take care of your business, I'll wait for you here."

Lu Yu blushed and nodded, heading towards the Wailing Tower.

Lu Yu knew that it was a pipe dream to expect high-level cultivators to serve as guards with just two hundred low-grade spirit stones.

Qin Qingrou had already treated him well, and even though she occasionally made fun of him, he was grateful.

Wailing Tower.

The shopkeeper Liu watched as Lu Yu strode in and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lu, welcome, welcome."

"One thousand bags of Dashi Pills, one hundred bags of Baosheng Pills, five bags of Beast Spirit Pills..."

As Lu Yu counted, he took out the spirit beast pills from his storage ring.

When he heard five bags of Beast Spirit Pills, the shopkeeper Liu's eyes lit up.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're becoming more and more prosperous."

Listening to the shopkeeper Liu's flattery, Lu Yu smiled slightly and felt content in his heart.

The shopkeeper Liu took out seventeen medium-grade spirit stones from his storage ring and prepared what Lu Yu needed.

Seeing that the transaction was almost complete, the shopkeeper Liu spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Lu, all the immortal mansions in Yixian Residence have been taken, but two newly completed ones have just become available for rent."

"If you really want to move near the market, you'll have to fight for it."

Lu Yu hesitated and asked, "How do I fight for it?"

The shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "The general affairs department of the Shengling Mountain Sect has a menial task that rewards a rental quota for an immortal mansion. However, it requires going deep into the mountain and collecting..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Yu interrupted, "Shopkeeper Liu, most of the fierce beasts in the mountain are at the intermediate level, with occasional high-level ones."

"My cultivation is low, so going there would be tantamount to seeking death. I'd better not."

It was no wonder that no one took on this menial task. It was a matter of life and death.

Even if the rewards were generous, he couldn't possibly accept it.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper Liu didn't say anything more.

He was a shrewd person and knew when to stop. Although this task was dangerous, the rewards were indeed substantial.

If he could establish a relationship with the cultivators of Shengling Mountain by completing this task, his future prospects would be limitless.
