Lu Yu looked at the visiting Grandma Xiangchunyuan with a surprised expression on his face.

She showed a warm smile on her face and confidently walked into the house.

Lu Yu could only reluctantly greet her.

"Grandma Xian, I hope you're doing well."

Lu Yu thought that she was a person who could imitate voices, so her expression naturally didn't look good.

But Grandma Xiangchunyuan seemed completely unconcerned, walking around the house gracefully and then looking up to assess Ling'er, smiling and saying,

"Oh, isn't this the stubborn and lively girl from before?"

Upon hearing this, Ling'er turned her head away and ignored her.

But even though she ignored her, Grandma Xiangchunyuan seemed to become more spirited and started criticizing:

"Grandma Xian must be difficult to serve, right?"

"You used to be able to gain weight in my place, looking pretty and healthy, but now you seem a bit thin."

"Looking at you like this, I'm afraid you can't handle it anymore."

Ling'er immediately frowned and gradually lowered her head.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu also felt somewhat guilty. In the past year, he had indeed gone too far.

Seeing that the two of them were not speaking, Grandma Xiangchunyuan sighed heavily.

"A daughter who is married away is like water that has been poured out. Although you didn't stay in Xiangchunyuan for long, I didn't mistreat you, did I?"

"It's been a whole year. You have to hurry up and give birth to a son and a daughter for Grandma Xian. Otherwise, when I come, I will also lose face."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ling'er's face turned even paler.

According to reason, she had been with her husband for a year, and there should indeed be some reaction.

She hadn't thought about it because Grandma Xiangchunyuan didn't mention it.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's only been a year."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Xiangchunyuan snorted, "If a woman can't give birth, not to mention Grandma Xian, even an ordinary family would write a divorce letter."

"Recently, many girls have come to Xiangchunyuan. They are all orphans whose parents died in the chaos."

"I have a kind heart and can't bear to see people suffer, so I took them all in."

"But day by day, they are almost eating me out of house and home. Grandma Xian, how about you come to my place and choose one?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu frowned. It turned out that she wanted to sell people.

He was about to ask Grandma Xiangchunyuan to leave, but he saw her sit down heavily and said with a worried expression, "Among these girls, there are also some fairy nuns. I can't afford to offend them."

"Can you believe that the parents of those fairy nuns were so unlucky? They owed a lot of debts and died in the chaos. The creditors even let me sell the fairy nuns."

"How can I live like this?" After speaking, Grandma Xiangchunyuan burst into tears.

Seeing Lu Yu's thoughtful expression, Ling'er couldn't help but feel anxious.

Then, her face became sorrowful. The favor her husband had shown her these days had indeed made her forget the difference between immortals and mortals.

Although Grandma Xiangchunyuan seemed to have ulterior motives and was causing trouble, every word she said made sense.

"Husband... what my mother said is right."

"Moreover, those fairy nuns are also cultivators like you. If you can marry a cultivator, you will have someone to accompany you in the future..."

Ling'er said with difficulty.

Grandma Xiangchunyuan immediately smiled happily and said, "My good daughter, I knew you were sensible."

After speaking, she turned to Lu Yu and said, "Grandma Xian, these fairy nuns are in high demand. They are only available during the chaos. It will be difficult to find them later."

"You have to think carefully."

Grandma Xiangchunyuan deliberately nudged Lu Yu's arm, as if saying, "I understand you."

But Lu Yu gently pushed her away and sighed, "Let's discuss this as a couple."

"I'll give you an answer in a while."

In front of Ling'er, Lu Yu couldn't possibly say that he wanted to take a concubine. What if Ling'er's happiness index plummeted?

Grandma was about to give some heartfelt advice, but she was kicked out by Lu Yu.

She unwillingly shouted from outside the door, "Sir, I'll come back tomorrow, remember to give me a definite answer!"

After shouting, she didn't bother anymore and left.

Lu Yu was about to undress and go to bed, but he saw Ling'er looking sad.

"Ling'er, you don't have to..."

Ling'er interrupted Lu Yu with a wave of her hand and said, "Husband, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. I will leave one day, so it's better to help you find a suitable partner now."

Lu Yu anxiously waited for the prompt in his mind. After a moment, he sighed softly and got on the bed, comforting his beloved wife.

"Ling'er, don't worry. Even if I have a cultivation partner, you will still be my beloved wife."

"And, you are my first and only wife in this lifetime. How can I not treasure you?"

Ling'er's distressed expression gradually faded, revealing a slight smile.

"Husband, what Mom said is right. I really can't resist anymore. I sincerely hope that someone can accompany you."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Yu pounced on her, and that night, Ling'er pleaded repeatedly.

The sounds of passion in the room gradually subsided. Lu Yu held his wife in his arms, feeling a sense of emotion.

He listened to the prompt in his mind and felt the increasing speed of gathering spiritual energy brought by his increasingly pure spiritual roots.

In another year, he would be able to advance to a higher level in the alchemist profession.

He would be one step closer to becoming an advanced alchemist of the Earth Rank.

As an advanced alchemist of the Earth Rank, he would have the qualifications to access some secret alchemy formulas.

As long as he had unique products, his value would increase, and he might even become a popular commodity in the market.

And the Beast Spirit Pill produced by an advanced alchemist of the Earth Rank could be sold for a medium-grade spirit stone with just a small piece.

"Now that the material prices have plummeted, it's a good opportunity to make some spirit stones and prepare for future material purchases for refining Beast Spirit Pills."

"I must strive to buy the Detoxification Pill for the Six-Eyed Poisonous Insect as soon as possible!"

The poison in his body had been there for a long time, and if he continued to consume it, there might be unforeseen consequences.

The poison that could strike at any time was like a sword hanging over his head.

Another half month passed.

The ferocious beasts were becoming more and more rampant, and even intermediate-level killers began to flee from the deep mountains.

The prices of goods no longer plummeted and seemed to have entered a period of stable low prices.

The inner disciples of the Holy Spirit Mountain finally couldn't sit still.

If low-level beasts couldn't arouse their interest, then intermediate-level beasts were just right for them to practice and earn generous rewards.

Even the inner disciples of the Holy Spirit Mountain recruited a group of cultivators with high cultivation levels in the market to hunt in the Holy Spirit Mountain.

But with more intermediate-level beasts, many casual low-level cultivators were killed or injured.

After hearing from Qin Qingrou, Lu Yu also felt fortunate.

Perhaps there was no room for any risks on the path to immortality.

On this day, he took a ride on Qin Qingrou's ox cart and arrived at the market unscathed.

His spiritual roots had advanced too quickly, and he didn't expect the double amount of materials to last for only two months.

Fortunately, this was the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain, even if the killers were rampant, there were only a few scattered low-level beasts.

After bidding farewell to Qin Qingrou, he entered the Wanling Tower.

Now that materials were not lacking, what was lacking was the ability to turn materials into profitable goods. Therefore, alchemists like Lu Yu received many benefits.

Moreover, Lu Yu's refining efficiency was much higher than that of ordinary alchemists.

After settling the output and purchase with Chen, Lu Yu's wealth quietly increased.

Chen was overjoyed when he saw the piles of Big Eater Pills and Violent Birth Pills.

Now that there were plenty of materials, he wished he could make all the craftsmen and alchemists work day and night.

After all, if the materials were left for too long, the spiritual energy would dissipate, resulting in a significant loss.
