Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Once upon a time, Lu Yu had thought about going to the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion to spar with the female cultivators.

Fortunately, he didn't actually put it into practice, otherwise he would have turned into a pile of bones by now.

After returning to the immortal mansion, Ling'er saw that Lu Yu was sweating profusely, with his Daoist robe soaked, and she asked with a worried expression, "Husband, what's wrong?"

"Why do you look so startled?"

Even Wan Wan comforted him by fanning him with her little hand.

Lu Yu waved his hand repeatedly and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

After a few more days, the fear brought by the female cultivators from the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion gradually dissipated.

And today, Qin Qingrou, who had been away for a long time, also returned to the immortal mansion.

During these days, she had continuously given spiritual stones to Lu Yu.

From her exhausted appearance, it could be seen that working as a laborer for the hunting cultivator team was not easy at all.

Now she was going out more frequently, and her time spent in the immortal mansion was getting shorter.

This was completely different from her previous state of resting in the village for only a few months, and it was also quite different from her desire to travel on the immortal path and seek longevity.

Once one ventured into the deep mountains of the Holy Spirit Mountain many times, no one could guarantee that accidents would not occur.

Even cultivators at the Foundation Building stage could not guarantee that they would always come out unscathed from the Holy Spirit Mountain.

"Sister Qin."

Seeing her haggard appearance, Lu Yu finally couldn't help but speak, "The beast riots can still be controlled now, and there's no rush to earn spiritual stones."

"Let's wait a while before going out again."

Qin Qingrou squeezed out a teasing smile on her face and said in a deliberately weak tone, "Oh, it's not easy, little Lu Zi."

"I didn't expect that besides teasing your beautiful wives and concubines every night, you also know how to care for your sister."

Lu Yu smiled awkwardly and quickly added, "The rent for this immortal mansion is not low, I'm afraid I can't support it alone without Sister Qin's contribution."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qingrou's face lost all its smile, and she said, "So you're afraid that I won't give you spiritual stones. Don't worry, you won't be lacking."

After saying that, she slammed the door.

Lu Yu shook his head, wondering why he had to provoke Sister Qin.

But she had indeed become more and more fierce.

Although Tenglong Residence was good, it couldn't be perfect.

...

Lu Yu immersed himself in dual cultivation, refining spirit beast pills, and also began to pay attention to his own cultivation.

After all, now that the refining of spirit beast pills was limited by his realm, if his spiritual consciousness hadn't greatly increased, he would probably not be able to refine even the Great Strength Pill.

If he wanted to profit more from the Qingyun Pill Shop, he couldn't neglect his own cultivation.

He was extremely diligent every day.

Most of his time was spent on dual cultivation. Every time he refined the Great Strength Pill, he had to wait for his own spiritual energy to gather, which took a long time.

But fortunately, his spiritual root quality kept improving, and the speed of gathering spiritual energy was slowly increasing.

Since Ling'er's happiness index exceeded 100, Lu Yu always wondered if continuing to improve it would further increase the speed of gathering spiritual energy.

But after surpassing 100, the opportunity to increase the happiness index was hard to come by.

Even if he treated Ling'er better, even causing a slight jealousy in Wan Wan, he still couldn't find a way to continue increasing the happiness index.

So he could only focus on the opportunity presented by his current predicament. If he could start refining a hundred medium-grade spirit stone spirit beast pills, his standard of living would greatly improve.

In addition to his own cultivation, Lu Yu also didn't neglect the cultivation of his spiritual consciousness and the refining of Lingzhi Spirit Beast Pills.

He even started buying some pills to enhance his spiritual power from the Qingyun Pill Shop, but those pills were cheap and their effects were average.

Although his progress was slow, the feeling of gradually improving while being down-to-earth still made Lu Yu very happy.

He even forgot about finding a sister for Ling'er and Wan Wan.

Life is busy like this.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

After refining the Great Strength Pill today, he went to the Qingyun Pill Shop and sold the Great Strength Pill.

With the accumulation of spiritual stones in his mouth, his heart gradually became more settled.

After leaving the Qingyun Pill Shop, Lu Yu went to the Wanling Tower.

When Liu, the shopkeeper, saw Lu Yu, the slight smile on his face turned into a hint of resentment.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you have been slacking off more and more recently. You haven't sold much in my shop in the past few months."

Lu Yu quickly smiled and explained, "I am truly willing but lacking in ability. After the neighbors in Tenglong Residence found out that I am an alchemist, they pre-ordered and bought most of the Spirit Beast Pills."

"Sorry, sorry."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression slightly eased, and he asked, "I saw Fellow Daoist entering and leaving the Pill Study Hall recently. Have you been studying there?"

"The shopkeeper has sharp eyes."

"Although the Pill Study Hall has declined somewhat, it is still a good place to study the refining of Spirit Beast Pills. I believe Fellow Daoist Lu must have gained a lot."

The shopkeeper's words were also probing Lu Yu's attitude.

Although the Pill Study Hall can help alchemists improve the quality of their Spirit Beast Pills, in the end, it still depends on experience.

Moreover, Lu Yu's Spirit Beast Pills are of excellent quality, which he considers somewhat mediocre.

But Lu Yu didn't think too much about it. He smiled and took out a bag of Great Strength Pills from his storage ring, saying, "The shopkeeper's insight is truly remarkable."

"While in the Pill Study Hall, I happened to come across the formula for the Great Strength Pill. Please take a look at this bag of Great Strength Pills."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper took the bag of Great Strength Pills with a surprised expression and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, can you refine unique Spirit Beast Pills?"

Lu Yu intended to establish a good relationship with the shopkeeper. As soon as the contract mission with the Qingyun Pill Shop was relaxed, he brought some Great Strength Pills to sell.

After all, the shopkeeper had been in the market for many years and had some background in the Holy Spirit Mountain. It is presumed that his network must be extensive.

Being on good terms with him would provide Lu Yu with more channels to understand the market trends.

"I have spent a huge amount of money on the formula for the Great Strength Pill."

"I also wasted a lot of materials to refine it. Fortunately, the heavens have opened their eyes and shown mercy to me."

Lu Yu quickly explained.

The shopkeeper looked at the Great Strength Pills and finally showed a friendly smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, congratulations."

"To be able to refine unique Spirit Beast Pills is of extraordinary significance to any alchemist."

"A few materials and spiritual stones are nothing. If Fellow Daoist can produce more types of special Spirit Beast Pills, the days of rolling in spiritual stones will not be far away!"

"The market price of the Great Strength Pill is twenty medium-grade spiritual stones. In consideration of Fellow Daoist's hard work, I will add three more as compensation."

"In the future, if Fellow Daoist has this kind of Spirit Beast Pills, please take care of our small shop."

For cultivators who need to fight fierce beasts deep in the Holy Spirit Mountain, being able to convert materials into pills, immortal treasures, and Spirit Beast Pills makes their cultivation path much smoother.

If they are not seeking immortality and just living a comfortable life, it is enough.

However, many cultivators are limited by their realm or divine consciousness and often only dabble in it.

But the main issue is the cost.

As independent cultivators are limited by spiritual stones, they have very few opportunities to experiment with refining. They are also afraid of the bottomless pit of the future.

If they succeed in refining, it's fine, but if they make a mistake, they may lose their capital.

Once their progress is delayed, there is no hope for Foundation Building.

Even Lu Yu, who started refining high-level Spirit Beast Pills like the Beast Spirit Pill at his age, is considered somewhat late.

But he is stable in terms of sales and is willing to work hard. This is what Liu, the shopkeeper, values, which is why he is more favorable towards Lu Yu.

He even added three more medium-grade spiritual stones as a subsidy to the market price.

The status of a high-level alchemist is as rare as that of a high-level alchemist or a high-level artifact refiner.
