Lu Yu pondered for a moment and calculated that if Qin Qingrou was really in a hurry to repay her spiritual stones, it would probably take a whole year of busy work to barely pay it back.

Just as he was contemplating, his fingertip storage ring suddenly flickered.

Lu Yu probed with his divine sense and found that it was Liu the shopkeeper's communication jade slip that was continuously glowing and vibrating.

He took out the communication jade slip and infused his divine sense into it, quickly learning the message from Liu the shopkeeper:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you remember the matchmaking matter we discussed last time? Are you available to come to the Wanling Tower today?"

If it weren't for Liu the shopkeeper's message, he would have almost forgotten about this matter.

He quickly replied, "Liu the shopkeeper, I will be there shortly."

After putting the communication jade slip back into his storage ring, Lu Yu familiarized himself with the location and headed straight to the Wanling Tower.

As soon as he entered the Wanling Tower, Liu the shopkeeper warmly greeted him and straightened out Lu Yu's Daoist robe.

He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you are truly outstanding today. I believe that female cultivator will definitely be captivated at first sight."

Lu Yu smiled and replied, "I hope so."

After saying that, a hint of curiosity and anticipation arose in his heart.

After the first level of Qi Refining, it was Liu the shopkeeper's acquaintance.

She was also obedient and sensible, with a gentle and virtuous nature.

If she wasn't close with the steward from the Holy Spirit Mountain, perhaps he could give it a try.

Even if she wasn't exceptionally beautiful, it wouldn't matter.

Led by Liu the shopkeeper, the two of them entered a small courtyard in the Wanling Tower.

Liu the shopkeeper pushed open a room, but to their surprise, there was no female cultivator inside.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please wait a moment. My junior female cultivator will be here soon," Liu the shopkeeper said.

Lu Yu nodded, and Liu the shopkeeper had a servant bring them spirit tea before leaving.

After waiting for half a day, with the breeze rustling the willows and the sun gradually setting, the junior female cultivator mentioned by Liu the shopkeeper still hadn't arrived.

Lu Yu remained calm and got up to look outside the door.

Could it be that the female cultivator wasn't coming?

After waiting for another half a day, as the sky grew dark, Lu Yu walked out of the room.

There were teleportation arrays between the inner gate of the Holy Spirit Mountain and the market, and the journey wasn't far. Moreover, no one in the market would dare to extort a female cultivator.

Even if the other party didn't want to see him, they shouldn't have let him wait in vain.

If he wanted to marry a female cultivator with the potential for Foundation Building, perhaps he was overthinking it.

Just as Lu Yu was about to reach the front of the Wanling Tower, he bumped into Liu the shopkeeper, who was hurrying along.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I didn't consider it properly," Liu the shopkeeper said.

"My junior female cultivator was called by the steward to handle a task, which was urgent and caused the delay. I'm truly sorry," Liu the shopkeeper bowed and apologized, his expression filled with embarrassment.

Lu Yu quickly returned the gesture and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I'm originally a free person, so it doesn't waste my time."

Liu the shopkeeper quickly asked again, "Fellow Daoist Lu, can we make another appointment?"

"This time it was sudden, but it will definitely go smoothly next time."

"I think..." Lu Yu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said, "Considering Liu the shopkeeper's good intentions, let's make another appointment."

Upon hearing this, a look of embarrassment gradually faded from Liu the shopkeeper's face. He smiled apologetically and saw Lu Yu off from the Wanling Tower.

After Lu Yu's figure disappeared at the street corner, Liu the shopkeeper flipped his hand and took out a communication jade slip from his storage ring.

"How is his character?"

A slightly proud divine sense asked from the communication jade slip.

Liu the shopkeeper quickly responded, "Reporting to the steward, Fellow Daoist Lu remained calm and waited for a long time before leaving."

"Although there was a hint of hesitation in the end, he shouldn't be indecisive."

The communication jade slip trembled slightly and emitted a faint light.

That proud expression transmitted again, saying, "It's still usable like this, but it's a pity that it's only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. I can only take concubines..."

"I'll advise again, everything depends on fate."

"I will follow the teachings of the elders."

...

Lu Yu returned to Tenglong Residence. At this moment, there was no light outside, and the immortal residence was also dim.

Only the transmission array on the ground reflected a faint cold light, illuminating the nearby entrance of the immortal mansion.

Just as Lu Yu was about to return to his immortal mansion, the transmission array behind him lit up with a burst of white light.

After a moment, a figure walked out of the white light.

Lu Yu turned his head to take a look, and it turned out to be the alchemist Wan Shengming.

However, at this moment, he had a worried expression on his face, his complexion was charred, and he was holding a pile of broken copper and rotten iron in his hand, indicating that the artifact he had just refined had failed.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Lu, what a coincidence, did you just come back too?" Wan Shengming saw Lu Yu and greeted him with a smile.

Although they had only met a few times, Wan Shengming had a deep impression of this diligent cultivator who refined spirit beast pills and had a beautiful wife and concubines.

Lu Yu hurriedly bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Wan, I was delayed outside today, so I came back late."

"What kind of artifact did Fellow Daoist Wan refine? How did it end up like this?"

Wan Shengming smiled and said, "This is a bone shield refined from the bones of a high-level fierce beast, but unfortunately, it failed."

"I just came back from the alchemy hall and was about to study it."

"If I can refine a high-grade bone shield artifact, there will be hope for the future."

Hearing this, Lu Yu didn't expect that Wan Shengming could refine defensive artifacts. When he accumulated enough spirit stones, perhaps he could have two customized for his wife and concubines.

"Fellow Daoist is extremely talented, you will definitely succeed!" Lu Yu flattered calmly.

Wan Shengming bowed and smiled, "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words, Fellow Daoist."

After saying that, the two bid farewell to each other and returned to their respective residences.

As soon as he entered the immortal mansion, Ling'er greeted him, "Husband, why did you come back so late? Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

Whether they lived in the village or moved to the market, Lu Yu had never returned so late before.

Even Wanzhuo beside her had a worried expression.

If something happened to her husband, they would probably not be able to afford the immortal mansion and would be left with no support in the future.

Lu Yu also didn't expect to come back so late today. He apologized, "I made you worry."

"I was delayed by a small matter today. I will try to come back earlier in the future."

Ling'er had already prepared a table full of delicious food, but Lu Yu hadn't arrived yet, so she and Wanzhuo lost their appetites out of worry.

At this moment, she felt relieved and called Lu Yu to have dinner.

Seeing the steaming food, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel gratified.

After dinner, Lu Yu estimated that there was not enough time to refine spirit beast pills today, so he decided to study the three cultivation techniques in "The Battle of Ten Thousand Phoenixes" with Ling'er and Wanzhuo.

He felt that there were too few moves in it and wondered if he should visit the cultivation technique store again and choose a dual cultivation technique.

...

Time flew by and autumn arrived.

Lu Yu looked at Qin Qingrou, who had returned with injuries and a lowered cultivation level, with a worried expression in the small hall.

This time, Qin Qingrou had been gone for three to four months and returned with injuries!

Moreover, she didn't ask him for beast spirit pills or strength-enhancing pills before she left, so she must have experienced a difficult battle.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke, "Sister Qin, you should rest well after coming back this time."

Qin Qingrou's footsteps paused, and after a rare moment of silence, she entered the room.

Ling'er, who was cooking on the side, saw Lu Yu's worried expression and comforted him, "Husband, it's better to say less and not make Sister Qin feel worse."

Lu Yu sighed and shook his head.

Wanzhuo also comforted him, "Husband, Sister Qin has the assistance of the immortal mansion's spiritual energy. She will recover from her injuries quickly."

"Hopefully," Lu Yu said.
