Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu quickly bowed repeatedly to apologize, leading the two women to flee towards the General Affairs Office outside the Holy Spirit Mountain.

Once outside the office, he waited in line for a moment, paid the rental fee in spiritual stones, and turned around to bid farewell to the sisters at the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.

"Both Fellow Daoists, I still have some urgent matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you."

After saying that, Lu Yu left without looking back.

The two sisters immediately complained, "Hey, Fellow Daoist Lu, wait for us sisters..."

It wasn't until he entered the Waning Spirit Tower that Lu Yu broke out in a cold sweat.

He took out the spiritual stones needed to offset his and Qin Qingrou's miscellaneous tasks, and then took out the spiritual beast pill from his storage ring.

The shopkeeper Liu looked on with a pleased expression and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lu, congratulations, your cultivation level has improved again?"

Lu Yu bowed and smiled, "I was fortunate to have a breakthrough, but my cultivation level is still lowly. I must have made the shopkeeper laugh."

But the shopkeeper Liu laughed again, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you are becoming more and more stable in the market. I have a few female cultivators who are seeking a partner for eternal life. Would Fellow Daoist be willing to meet them?"

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and replied, "I already have wives and concubines, so I'm afraid..."

Shopkeeper Liu interrupted and persuaded, "Having wives and concubines is not a problem. Those female cultivators who seek me for a good match are all beautiful and outstanding, far from being inferior to your wives and concubines."

"Moreover, it's just a meeting. If you miss a suitable one, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"And, among the female cultivators I know, there is one whose cultivation level is even lower than yours, and she is very obedient and well-behaved. I can guarantee that she will definitely satisfy Fellow Daoist Lu."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu hesitated again. He had considered taking concubines before.

But this was a partner he would be spending his days and nights with, and he couldn't be careless about it.

He even thought about his three prohibitions for taking concubines.

Prohibition against having a background in a prominent family.

Prohibition against having a higher cultivation level than himself.

And among them, obedience was the most important, even if the appearance was slightly inferior.

If he were alone, he would welcome it even more.

Someone who would wholeheartedly focus on him and cooperate with his nighttime cultivation would naturally be treated well by him.

If not, there was no need to trouble himself.

In the eyes of many cultivators, sometimes love affairs were not as valuable as some spiritual pills or treasures.

Lu Yu couldn't guarantee that everything would go smoothly in the future, so he had to be prepared.

He was also reluctant to bring a female cultivator he didn't know well into his daily life.

So he didn't really accept the shopkeeper Liu's offer to be a matchmaker. At least, the relationship between that female cultivator and the shopkeeper Liu should be more than superficial.

Although he didn't know much about the shopkeeper Liu, he could sense that the shopkeeper Liu had some significant connections behind him.

Once his secret was revealed, he would probably face a life of servitude.

Tenglong Residence was safe, and there might not be any open killings, but there were hidden dangers that Lu Yu didn't dare to touch.

Lu Yu was somewhat resistant to the shopkeeper Liu's enthusiasm today, but he couldn't directly reject his goodwill.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yu smiled and said, "Can you tell me more about that obedient female cultivator, Shopkeeper Liu?"

Seeing that Lu Yu was interested, the shopkeeper Liu immediately introduced her.

That female cultivator was at the Qi Refining stage, had a youthful appearance, and was very beautiful, but her spiritual roots were slightly inferior. Even if she barely reached the Foundation Building stage in the future, her achievements would be very limited.

So he thought of finding a cultivator with a similar cultivation level to experience the seven emotions of the mortal world.

Moreover, that female cultivator was the shopkeeper Liu's acquaintance's daughter, who had experienced hardships.

Upon hearing that the female cultivator still had the potential for Foundation Building, Lu Yu realized that she was much more outstanding than himself.

The shopkeeper Liu continued, "My acquaintance's daughter is exceptionally beautiful and virtuous, and she has also gained the favor of a deacon from the Holy Spirit Mountain, who recognized her as his goddaughter."

"There are even rumors that when I reach a hundred years old, she will become the shopkeeper of this Waning Spirit Tower."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, such a good opportunity should not be missed. How about setting up a meeting?"

Lu Yu finally understood that the Holy Spirit Mountain had noticed him, a stable pill refiner.

As for whether the female cultivator was instructed by the deacon or volunteered, it was still uncertain.

Of course, whether they would form a bond or not would depend on the female cultivator's own attitude.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, I can meet her, but I can't guarantee that she will be interested in me."

"After all, being a partner is a major matter that will last for decades, if not longer."

"If fate allows, then please inform the shopkeeper."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu's face lit up and he nodded, "Of course, of course."

The two chatted for a while before Lu Yu left Wanling Tower.

By the time Lu Yu returned to Tenglong Residence, it was already approaching dusk.

Just as he stepped out of the teleportation array and was about to enter the immortal mansion, a handsome male cultivator approached from the side.

"I have met Fellow Daoist, I am Guan Pingshi."

Lu Gang hurriedly bowed in return, and the two exchanged pleasantries before parting ways.

Although Guan Fellow Daoist was polite, he seemed distant and only exchanged simple greetings.

After evaluating this in his heart, Lu Yu returned to the immortal mansion.

...

In the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed.

Night fell.

A fierce wind raged outside the immortal mansion, but inside the house, there was a fragrant and lively atmosphere.

Lu Yu held two charming and passionate figures, waiting quietly.

[Make wife happy six times, intermediate spiritual root quality +42 (338516/1000000)]

[Wife happiness index 130]

[Spirit gathering speed +44]

[Pill Refiner: Earth Rank Eighth Grade (110349/200000), can advance]

...

[Make female cultivator Wanzhu happy five times, spiritual consciousness +20]

[Wanzhu happiness index 85]

[Spiritual consciousness: Advanced Rank (218193/1000000)]

Lu Yu listened to the prompts in his mind.

Since moving into the immortal mansion and using spirit gathering grass to increase the speed of spirit gathering, his progress as a pill refiner had been advancing by leaps and bounds.

He remembered that not long ago, he had just broken through to the Earth Rank Eighth Grade, but now his progress as a pill refiner was already more than halfway there.

All of this was achieved through his continuous hard work, even Ling'er and Wanzhu had mentioned more than once:

Husband, you're working too hard and enduring a lot.

With the improvement in his refining level and his realm, Lu Yu could now easily refine the Great Strength Pill.

Not only did the quality improve significantly, but the time required also shortened.

However, now the time required for other cultivation methods was increasing, and even he was starting to feel a little anxious.

If his spiritual root quality didn't improve quickly enough, the day of Foundation Building would be far away.

But there was still some time before Foundation Building, and he was thinking whether he should really take a concubine to expand his daily cultivation direction.

His speed of earning spirit stones had also increased, and he could almost buy a blue luminescent pill every season to break through his own spiritual power limit.

He thought that in the future, reaching the fifth and sixth levels of Qi Refining would not be difficult.

As long as he mastered more pill formulas and displayed his identity as a high-level pill refiner, even if his cultivation progressed faster, he could explain it.

After all, after Foundation Building, as long as resources were infused, even if the spiritual roots were impure, there would still be a chance for Foundation Building.

But things were not absolute, and everything had to be done cautiously.

Early the next morning, just as Lu Yu finished his morning exercises with his wives, he ran into Qin Qingrou, who was fully armed and about to go out.

"Sister Qin, you've fallen in cultivation and are not recuperating at home, but you're going out to do odd jobs more and more..."

Qin Qingrou's cultivation had become even stronger now, and Lu Yu could sense that she was at around the sixth level of Qi Refining.

But she was still going to fight fierce beasts without fully recovering, which was somewhat unwise.

Even though he had clearly stated that he could afford Qin Sister's rent and there was no need to rush to repay the spirit stones owed for the Spirit Beast Pill.

But Qin Qingrou insisted on going out.

"Little Lu Zi, if Sister really lets you take care of her, then one day when you crawl into Sister's bed, should I agree or should I agree?"

Before leaving, Qin Qingrou teased Lu Yu for a while and left behind this strange remark.
