Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Lu Yu smiled and chatted with Liu, the shopkeeper, before leaving.

Along the way, he pondered to himself that his spiritual consciousness should far surpass those of the same level. The success rate of refining Beast Spirit Pills and Great Strength Pills has greatly increased.

Moreover, the Qingyun Pill Shop provides refining materials. Not only can he earn money from selling materials, but he can also earn money from selling Spirit Beast Pills. It's a win-win situation.

He could even show off his strength in front of the shop by using some rare high-level Spirit Beast Pills. Presumably, he would be able to gather more information from Liu, the shopkeeper, in the future.

He returned to the Tenglong Immortal Mansion.

Lu Yu once again resumed his busy life.

While other cultivators may be adventuring outside and living a rich and exciting life, there is no room for error on the path of longevity. He would rather settle down in the Immortal Mansion and make steady progress.

A few more months passed in the blink of an eye.

Outside the general affairs office of the Shengling Mountain Sect, there were more and more cultivators recruiting teams of wandering cultivators to venture into the deep mountains of Shengling Mountain for hunting.

With profit as the priority, they were almost resorting to forcibly recruiting people on the street.

However, the conditions they offered were not generous, presumably due to the low prices in the market.

There were teams specifically hunting mid-level ferocious beasts, and they were even willing to use Foundation Building techniques to lure cultivators into joining their teams.

For wandering cultivators, such temptations were indeed hard to resist.

Not to mention that after joining the team, they could get a tenth or even a twelfth of the hunted treasures, as well as Foundation Building techniques.

Even if they couldn't use them, they could sell them for thousands or hundreds of middle-grade spirit stones, enough for an average wandering cultivator to live comfortably in the market for three or four years.

But cultivators who had already reached the Foundation Building stage sneered at this.

They themselves had already reached Foundation Building, and they had no family or friends around them. What use did they have for Foundation Building techniques?

To them, what they wanted more was cultivation resources, not what they already had.

Night fell.

Feeling his wife's exhaustion, Lu Yu and Ling'er adjusted their movements and fell asleep together.

He held Ling'er in his arms, quietly feeling the heat and throbbing.

A prompt sound came to his mind as expected.

[Make your wife happy once, increase the quality of intermediate spiritual roots by 7 (313562/1000000)]

[Wife's happiness index: 130]

[Spirit Gathering Speed +44]

[Pill Refiner: Seventh Rank of Earth Stage (86139/100000), can advance]

The improvement of spiritual root quality was progressing steadily, while the realm of the pill refiner was about to advance again.

Moreover, with the improvement of his spiritual consciousness, he found that he was more and more proficient in refining Great Strength Pills.

Not only did the completion speed of the Qingyun Pill Shop's contracts increase, but the quality of the Great Strength Pills also improved further.

Jiang Yuru would often praise him when she saw them.

Moreover, refining high-level Spirit Beast Pills also helped improve his own refining level.

Now, when he refined Earth Stage Spirit Beast Pills like the Great Food Pill, he hardly made any progress.

Now, after deducting the necessary expenses for going out each month and reserving next year's rent, he could save up to sixty or seventy middle-grade spirit stones each month.

If he really wanted to buy attack and defense weapons for Ling'er and Wanwan, he still lacked some spirit stones.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment.

Last year, he actively participated in the Qingyun Pill Shop's exchange meetings for good items. Although he didn't exchange for anything, he gained a broad knowledge.

There were indeed many strange and wonderful items there.

Among them were some items that could assist in dual cultivation, but unfortunately, the prices were not affordable for Lu Yu.

However, he gradually became able to afford good pills to help with his cultivation in the Qingyun Pill Shop.

From low-level Spirit Gathering Grass to high-level Life Spirit Pills, he tried many of them along the way. In the end, he found that it was more cost-effective to eat grass.

However, every half month, he had to rest for half a day to remove the impurities in his body using the simple technique that came with the purchased Spirit Gathering Grass.

But if he could encounter other auxiliary cultivation items at the exchange meetings, he would also be willing to bite the bullet and buy them.

Lu Yu felt a slight loosening in his own realm, but he didn't know if it was just an illusion.

...

A few days later.

Lu Yu walked out of the Qingyun Pill Shop wearing a hooded scarf.

He first circled around the market to make sure no one was following him, then went to the Wanshu Hall to take off the scarf.

But the scarf was caught by the wind and flew away.

He always did this after attending a good item exchange meeting to avoid being recognized.

Night fell.

Inside the immortal mansion, he entered a quiet room and took out a blue firefly-like elixir from his storage ring.

This pill was no bigger than a fingertip, but it was worth five hundred medium-grade spirit stones. It was only acquired by Lu Yu after being ignored on a stone pillar for a day.

This was a pill specifically designed to help cultivators gather spiritual energy. He gently tossed it up and swallowed it.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a surge of spiritual energy flowed into his throat, spreading into his limbs and bones.

The spiritual energy that spread in his abdomen was endless, even causing Lu Yu to feel a sense of stagnation.

He quickly activated the ancestral Longevity Technique, which allowed the expanding spiritual energy to merge with his own flesh and blood.

Compared to natural gathering of spiritual energy, it only took Lu Yu a few moments to be filled with spiritual energy.

But the spiritual energy produced by the elixir in his abdomen didn't stop at this moment. Lu Yu even began to forcibly absorb more spiritual energy beyond his limit.

A burst of blood-red lines appeared on his body.

Boom!

The originally abundant spiritual energy seemed to suddenly burst open in his body, as if entering an extremely spacious hall from a crowded small room. The released spiritual energy also became thinner.

Lu Yu sat in meditation for a long time before fully absorbing all the spiritual energy contained in the pill.

Finally, he reached the fourth level of Qi Refining!

He slightly opened his eyes, revealing a look of ecstatic joy on his face.

He walked out of the quiet room, hugged his wife and concubine in each hand, and headed straight to the living room.

The three of them celebrated Lu Yu's breakthrough in realm to the fullest.

It wasn't until noon the next day that the two women finally closed their eyes.

But Lu Yu was still immersed in the immense joy of his realm advancement.

This blue pill was almost comparable to three or four high-grade spirit pills.

Not only was the spiritual energy abundant and continuous, but the released spiritual energy was also extremely gentle and easy to absorb.

Although he could gradually improve his realm through cultivation, time waits for no one. Only by advancing to the high-level Qi Refining as soon as possible would he have hope of Foundation Building.

Moreover, Lu Yu's spiritual roots were impure, and he might encounter obstacles when breaking through the bottleneck of Qi Refining. However, with a large amount of spiritual energy, he could easily break through.

It seemed that this kind of pill, which condensed and concentrated spiritual energy, was best used when the realm was loose for optimal effect.

But if there were abundant spirit stones, he wouldn't refuse to have a few more.

He wouldn't hesitate to spend spirit stones on realm advancement.

However, the defensive magic tools for Ling'er and Wanwan would have to wait a while longer.

For a moment, Lu Yu was torn between the elixir and the safety of his wives.

But soon he felt relieved. External objects were ultimately external objects. Only by strengthening his own strength and improving his realm could he fundamentally enhance the safety of his wives.

If he were a Foundation Building cultivator, no cultivator in the market would dare to extort his wives.

Night fell.

"Husband, come out and have dinner." Ling'er knocked on the door of the quiet room after preparing a table full of food.

Lu Yu came out and looked at the sumptuous meal, his appetite aroused.

Since he successfully refined the Great Strength Pill, he once again upgraded the quality of his meals.

He could even have some low-grade spirit wine and spirit tea with thin spiritual energy at night.

Now, just one meal required him to consume five or six low-grade spirit stones.

Wanwan also finished her cultivation and came out of the living room. The three of them sat down and were about to start eating.

But Ling'er's face showed a worried expression as she said, "Husband, Qin Sister hasn't come back for a long time, and she..."
