Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Inside the teleportation array stood two graceful women, dressed in light veils, their figures faintly visible even to Zhu Feng and Wu Shan.

Every frown and smile of the two exuded charm and allure. With the passing of a fragrant breeze, one's imagination would run wild. Coupled with the tinkling laughter, one would be drawn into a state of bliss.

Even Ling Er and Wan Wan's breathing became hurried.

After one of the sisters laughed, she continued, "Fellow Daoist Wan, you truly have a firm and determined heart."

The other sister echoed, "Sister is right. Those who can achieve Foundation Building are all from the Holy Spirit Mountain or renowned cultivators. As a mere wandering cultivator, it will be even more difficult for you."

"Instead of being idle, it would be better to follow Fellow Daoist Lu's example and enjoy life. After all, we sisters are quite fond of Fellow Daoist Wan."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Qiao family's sister pressed herself against Wan Shengming, her ample bosom brushing against his arm.

Wan Shengming initially wanted to break free and argue, but his expression froze for a moment, and he couldn't find any words to refute.

For a wandering cultivator to achieve Foundation Building was as difficult as reaching the heavens.

Lu Yu remained silent as well.

He knew that what the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion sisters said was the truth.

To achieve Foundation Building, cultivators not only had to go through a long process of accumulating spiritual power but also had to deal with various dangers and accidents.

Even a slight delay on this path would only lead to regret and turn into dry bones.

Seeing her sister subduing Wan Shengming, the other sister also refused to be outdone. She ran her fingertips over Lu Yu's shoulder and smiled, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you really have a broad-minded view. How about trying us sisters one day?"

"We sisters guarantee that we will give you pleasures that your wives and concubines cannot provide."

"Our immortal mansions are very close to Fellow Daoist Lu's immortal mansion."

Lu Yu quickly apologized a few times and returned to his immortal mansion with Ling Er and Wan Wan.

...

Time flew by, and it was already October.

Liu the shopkeeper sent a message using a sound-transmitting jade slip, inviting Lu Yu to meet a well-behaved female cultivator at the Wan Ling Tower the next day.

Lu Yu initially wanted to politely decline, but he couldn't resist Liu the shopkeeper's enthusiasm.

The next day, Lu Yu freshened up and went out.

As soon as he stepped into the Wan Ling Tower, Liu the shopkeeper behind the counter hurriedly greeted him with a smile, saying, "Ah, Fellow Daoist Lu, you finally arrived."

"Come, follow me inside."

Lu Yu was taken aback by the shopkeeper's enthusiasm.

He followed Liu the shopkeeper to the backyard and sat in a room for a while, when a graceful and delicate girl suddenly arrived.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I apologize for being late."

The girl's voice was as pleasant as a lark.

Lu Yu quickly stood up and bowed, stealing glances at her from time to time, carefully observing her appearance.

The girl was dressed in a pink robe with pleated long skirts underneath, looking charming and attracting attention.

"Please sit," Lu Yu said, waving his hand.

The girl nodded slightly and sat down next to Lu Yu.

"My surname is Tian, and my name is Ling Xiao. I apologize for the sudden incident last time. Please don't take offense, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Lu Yu smiled and said, "No worries."

"Since we meet due to fate, I won't say much. I believe the shopkeeper has already informed you about my situation."

"I want to take you as a concubine. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"

It has been a long time since the last incident. Even if there were doubts, they should have been resolved by now.

Tian Ling Xiao covered her lips and smiled, saying, "Fellow Daoist is straightforward. I do have such intentions. However, before that, I have a few questions I would like to ask Fellow Daoist."

"Would you mind, Fellow Daoist Lu?"

"Feel free to ask," Lu Yu nodded.

Tian Ling Xiao stood up and paced for a moment before speaking, "If I become the shopkeeper of the Wan Ling Tower in the future, would Fellow Daoist Lu be willing to sign a spiritual contract with the Wan Ling Tower for cooperation?"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please rest assured that the Wan Ling Tower will not take advantage of you."

"Moreover, if I become the shopkeeper of the Wan Ling Tower, I naturally hope that my husband can provide some support."

Generally speaking, when cultivators sign a spiritual contract with a shop, it is the cultivator who benefits more.

There is only a fixed quota and some special requirements. In case there is a conflict with Qingyun Pill Shop, it would be extremely difficult for Lu Yu to handle it.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he cannot guarantee that Tian Lingxiao will not reveal his information to Wanling Tower.

His own cheat is a big secret that must not be exposed.

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and then bowed, saying, "Fellow Daoist Tian, I can sign a simple spiritual contract with Wanling Tower."

"I can also guarantee a fixed supply of Ling Beast Pills, but I cannot promise deeper cooperation."

"And, if we become husband and wife in the future, I hope Fellow Daoist will prioritize me and focus on cultivating at home."

His main purpose in taking concubines is to develop his own cheat for cultivating immortality.

If he forms a romantic relationship and still appears in public every day, not staying at home, then what's the point of developing it?

In addition to being obedient, being obedient is also of utmost importance.

Upon hearing this, Tian Lingxiao's face froze. She didn't expect Lu Yu to refuse so decisively.

And at this moment...

Lu Yu looked at Tian Lingxiao with increasing seriousness and asked, "Fellow Daoist Tian, what do you think?"

Tian Lingxiao was stunned by the question.

She hadn't thought about how to deal with it after Lu Yu's refusal.

As a promising Foundation Building female cultivator, in terms of talent, she was not bad at all and was also a sought-after partner for many solo cultivators.

The Holy Spirit Mountain would also provide some corresponding resources.

If it weren't for the command of the inner sect steward of the Holy Spirit Mountain, she probably wouldn't have come to see a Qi Refining fourth level pill refiner.

High-level pill refiners have already transcended the category of laborers among cultivators and can compete with high-level alchemists. However, in terms of identity and status in the true calculation of strength, they are considered a negative factor.

Even if high-level pill refiners make a lot of money, they are still like high-level workers in front of true sects.

If she wants to find a long-term reliance, not to mention the inner sect steward, even ordinary inner sect disciples would be more reliable than Lu Yu.

Not to mention the person in front of her, she probably has no hope of reaching Foundation Building.

Moreover, if she goes, she will only be a concubine.

If she were the main wife, she might still hesitate for a moment.

Seeing Tian Lingxiao lost in thought, Lu Yu smiled lightly, got up and left the room.

Tian Lingxiao felt a blur in front of her eyes and quickly turned around to bow, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu, please wait..."

...

Inside Wanling Tower.

The shopkeeper Liu stretched his neck and looked around, then greeted Lu Yu with a smile on his face and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu, don't leave in a hurry. Tell me, how do you feel after meeting?"

Lu Yu bowed and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper Liu, for your kindness. I am grateful, but my luck is shallow."

Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback by his words and wanted to ask for more details, but Lu Yu had already turned and left Wanling Tower.

He walked a few steps into the backyard and saw Tian Lingxiao. He asked, "Lingxiao, what happened?"

"Did you not like her?"

Things didn't work out, and he was somewhat displeased. His tone also became stern.

This was a task assigned by the inner sect steward of the Holy Spirit Mountain. If he didn't handle it well, he would probably be punished.

Tian Lingxiao frowned and explained, and only then did shopkeeper Liu nod, but he also showed a look of surprise.

"It's a good thing to sign a spiritual contract with our Wanling Tower. In the future, you will also receive care from the inner sect steward of the Holy Spirit Mountain. Fellow Daoist Lu, as a solo cultivator, should be eager for this..."

"Lingxiao, are you telling the truth?"

Tian Lingxiao quickly bowed and said, "Lingxiao dare not deceive."

"I understand. You can go back and wait for the news."

"As for the steward, I will go and explain."

"Understood."

Shopkeeper Liu took out a sound transmission jade slip from his storage ring and informed the inner sect steward of the Holy Spirit Mountain about the situation.

After a while, the sound transmission jade slip lit up and trembled slightly.

"Since he is unwilling to join Wanling Tower, let him go. Handle everything as before."

"But, sir, he is a high-level pill refiner, no longer..."

Just as shopkeeper Liu was about to send a message, another reply came.
