Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Wanwan blushed and said with a mix of anger and amusement, "Hahaha, my lord, spare me this time. I won't dare again."

Lu Yu was just scaring her, so when he heard her words, he let her go. The two of them played around for a while before Qin Qingrou walked out of the room.

Seeing her wearing his black and red cloud robe, Lu Yu's face looked somewhat stunned as he asked, "Qin sister, why are you wearing the Dao robe that Qingyun Pill Shop sent me today?"

Qin Qingrou glanced at Ling'er and Wanwan, her expression calm as she said, "I heard that the General Affairs Department has many hunting cultivator teams hiring temporary workers these days."

"I want to go and find out some information."

Lu Yu understood Qin Qingrou's intentions. She wanted to return to her old profession.

There are many ways for cultivators in the market to earn spirit stones, but working as temporary labor for hunting cultivator teams is the easiest.

And because it involves a certain level of danger, the spirit stones earned can be quite substantial.

As for alchemists and pill refiners like him, they earn money by refining pills and elixirs. Although it can't compare to hunting cultivators, it is more stable.

Lu Yu looked worried, but he could tell that Qin Qingrou wasn't joking, and he didn't know how to respond.

"I'll accompany you."

Lu Yu felt a bit reluctant. In these past few days, he had been practicing and exchanging techniques with Qin Qingrou every day. Although they could only produce three items, they were quite close.

But even though they were cultivation partners, Qin Qingrou's decisions and thoughts were not something he could control.

Ling'er and Wanwan could rely on him for support, but Qin Qingrou couldn't, or perhaps she didn't want to.

The two of them just left the immortal mansion.

Qin Qingrou smiled and took Lu Yu's hand, saying, "Don't worry, my life is worth thousands of high-grade spirit stones now. I won't take unnecessary risks."

After speaking, she took off a black jade bull ear pendant and blew on it.

The bull's head expanded with the wind and quickly transformed into a majestic spirit bull.

"I have Xiaohei with me, and I'll only take on easy tasks. I won't join those teams that go deep into the Holy Spirit Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu looked at the spirit bull a few times and felt relieved.

Although Qin Qingrou's cultivation had declined, the aura of this spirit bull seemed even stronger than theirs.

Lu Yu took out several formation discs and handed them to Qin Qingrou, saying, "Be careful outside. These formation discs are all high-grade, and I've already infused them with spiritual energy."

"Carry them with you for self-defense."

Qin Qingrou didn't refuse Lu Yu's offer and put the formation discs into her storage ring. She mounted the spirit bull and said with a smile, "Xiaolu, these are all good things you've given me."

"I'll just borrow them for now."

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Is that so? I have even better things on me. If you had come back earlier, I would have let you enjoy them."

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Then you better take good care of them. Don't beg for mercy in the middle of the night when I come back."

After saying that, Qin Qingrou leaned down and lightly kissed Lu Yu's lips.

"Wait for me!"

She rode the spirit bull and walked away. Only when she entered the teleportation array did she turn her head, her eyes slightly red.

In an instant, a white light flashed, and Qin Qingrou thanked Lu Yu again before closing the door of the immortal mansion. As he passed by Qin Qingrou's room, he couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental.

...

Hunting cultivator teams usually hunt within their respective areas based on their own strength.

This is to avoid encountering fierce beasts that are much stronger than themselves, but the boundaries of these areas are very vague.

After experiencing dangers and hunting fierce beasts, there are still many bandit cultivators on the way back to the market.

However, with the formation discs and talismans that Lu Yu gave Qin Qingrou, as long as they don't go deep into the Holy Spirit Mountain, there shouldn't be too much danger.

Moreover, simple temporary labor tasks are just about transporting goods on the outskirts.

At first, Lu Yu was a bit worried, but gradually he relaxed.

Time passes quickly in the monotonous life.

During this period, Qin Qingrou also came back a few times, but soon after taking a short rest, she would go out again.

Her relationship with Lu Yu became even closer and more intimate.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of summer.

After using the Thousand Meridian Opening Spirit Pill, Lu Yu's cultivation level began to loosen.

Lu Yu sat cross-legged in a quiet room, and the spiritual pill inside his body was still emitting a strong spiritual energy.

His face showed a solemn expression, but his aura continued to rise.

With the improvement of his spiritual root quality, the Qi Refining fifth level bottleneck, which had been a challenge for him, now appeared to be loosening and crumbling.

At this moment, not only was the spiritual pill continuously releasing spiritual energy inside his body, but even the enhanced speed of gathering spiritual energy was also constantly at work.

Waves of pure and abundant spiritual energy were continuously absorbed by him.

Boom!

Since last night, the ancestral Longevity Technique had been circulating in his body more than a hundred times, and even the slight enhancement of his comprehension was continuously improving his understanding of the technique.

After accumulating almost enough spiritual energy to burst, Lu Yu directed it towards his spiritual platform in one fell swoop.

Boom!

In an instant, Lu Yu's entire body's aura stagnated, breaking through that bottleneck.

It was as if there was a surge of pent-up anger in his chest, releasing a sense of relief.

After a few breaths, Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

Suddenly, a prompt sounded in his mind.

[Comprehension of Technique: Average Aptitude (21/10000)]

Lu Yu's face was filled with joy once again. He didn't expect that his cultivation level breakthrough would also improve his comprehension of the technique.

Of course, this was also the result of his continuous efforts to learn and exchange ideas with Qin Qingrou.

At the moment of his breakthrough just now, he felt that his spiritual platform had become much clearer, as if a veil of haziness had been gently lifted.

He could even sense that there were some flaws in the ancestral Longevity Technique during its operation.

He estimated that he would need to reach the Foundation Building stage and study many more techniques to confirm these feelings. He didn't expect them to appear ahead of time.

It seemed that besides his mixed spiritual roots and the lack of resources invested in him by his family, the technique was also a reason for his long-term stagnation at the Qi Refining second level.

For cultivators, the importance of techniques was no less than that of spiritual root talent.

Moreover, ordinary techniques were simple to cultivate at the Qi Refining stage, but it was almost impossible to cultivate them at the Foundation Building stage.

Only cultivators who had reached the Foundation Building stage or even higher had the possibility of creating techniques that could be cultivated at that level.

Techniques that could be cultivated at the Foundation Building stage naturally varied in difficulty, ranging from high, middle, and low, to even immortal-grade.

A technique created by a Nascent Soul cultivator would undoubtedly be much stronger than one created by a Foundation Building cultivator.

To cultivate these techniques, talent, spiritual roots, and comprehension were all crucial.

Comprehension would become increasingly important for cultivators.

Especially in the future, if he started to raise spiritual beasts, he would probably have to create a technique to deal with precious spiritual beasts.

Lu Yu pondered for a long time and couldn't help but think of the two female cultivators surnamed Ru from the Voodoo Sect who lived near the Immortal Mansion.

The actions of Ru Yue at the entrance of the Immortal Mansion were just a test, but her use of charm techniques was truly difficult to guard against.

Now that Lu Yu had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, he should be able to resist her to some extent.

If there was a chance, he must buy some pills and magical treasures for defense.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared between Lu Yu's fingers.

He probed with his divine sense and received a message from Liu, the shopkeeper, through a sound transmission jade slip.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, have you come out of seclusion? If it's convenient for you recently, please come to the Wanling Tower for a meeting."
