Time passes in drips and drops.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed.

Lu Yu stepped out of the immortal mansion and exhaled a breath of stale air from his chest.

Today, his mood was particularly joyful.

Through his hard work and diligence, he could faintly feel that his Wind Spirit Root quality was catching up to other spirit roots.

Moreover, the tremendous boost from gathering spirits almost made him invincible in refining spirit beast pills.

Even his spirit manipulation technique had improved significantly.

At this rate, he believed he would be able to achieve Foundation Building soon.

The only regret he had was that he couldn't refine the Thousand Meridian Gathering Spirit Pill himself.

Using elixirs to assist in cultivation was the inevitable choice for cultivators to improve their cultivation speed.

But now, in order to try to obtain a new pill formula, Lu Yu had to leave the immortal mansion.

Although the market was still dangerous.

After entering the teleportation array, Lu Yu was enveloped in a flash of white light and arrived in the bustling market.

However, as he looked at the increasing number of cultivators in various robes, Lu Yu couldn't help but become more cautious.

Moreover, according to the message from Liu, the conflicts among cultivators in the market had become more frequent recently, with fights and killings happening on the streets.

Since the high-profile arrival of the Yue Ling Sect and their recruitment of disciples and outer sect disciples, such conflicts had increased dramatically, which was almost impossible in the past market.

The control of the Holy Spirit Mountain over the market was also declining, and even the previously bustling Outer Affairs Office was gradually becoming deserted.

Of course, the outer sect disciples working in the Outer Affairs Office were unable to stop the occurrence of conflicts in the market.

This made every cultivator in the market feel insecure, and even Wan Shengming, who often went out to purchase refining materials, was said to have reduced his outings.

The Dragon Phoenix Pavilion sisters, who were always high-profile and arrogant, also stayed indoors.

Only that cultivator surnamed Guan seemed to maintain a fixed number of outings and time.

Perhaps that cultivator surnamed Guan was not afraid of danger, and the current situation in the market was more suitable for cultivators who excelled in fighting.

After selling the spirit beast pills and buying many spirit foods and spirit teas for daily needs, Lu Yu hurried back.

Just as he returned to the immortal mansion, Ling'er's voice came.

"Master, Sister Qin has made a breakthrough."

Lu Yu took out the daily necessities he bought from his storage ring and smiled, "I'll go take a look."

As soon as he entered the room, he felt that Qin Qingrou's aura had become much stronger.

But compared to when she fell from the eighth level of Qi Refining, her aura was still slightly inferior.

Lu Yu bowed and smiled, "Congratulations, Sister Qin."

Qin Qingrou's fair face was filled with joy as she nodded.

In Lu Yu's eyes, she had regained one level of cultivation, reaching seventy percent of Qi Refining. She appeared even more ethereal and enchanting.

Qin Qingrou raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at Lu Yu, her smile charming, "Master, if it weren't for your care during these days, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

"Your abundant supply of spirit-gathering grass and spirit-gathering pills, if I don't strive to improve my cultivation, wouldn't I be wasting your kindness?"

Hearing Qin Qingrou's address, an evil fire rose within Lu Yu.

"Such good news, we should celebrate properly."

"Little Lu, are you feeling itchy?"

"Itchy, Sister Qin, can you scratch it for me?"

Their eyes met, and it seemed as if electric sparks flew through the air.

And then, the fire met the tinder.

"Front door or back door? Hurry up and decide!" Qin Qingrou pinched a spiritual seal, a gust of wind swept by, and Lu Yu was pulled towards her.

"First, the back door, then the front door!"

"Ugh! Men!"

Qin Qingrou's dress flew up, revealing her smooth and beautiful back to Lu Yu.

Inside the room, there was a violent shaking, a fierce battle.

After a long time, Lu Yu dismounted and said with some regret, "Sister Qin, the winding path is secluded, and you are the stronger one."

Qin Qingrou held Lu Yu tightly and didn't immediately respond, waiting for the lingering taste in her mind to gradually dissipate before saying slowly,

"Who told you not to take the back door more often?"

"This time, I have restored my cultivation to the seventh level of Qi Refining. I can recruit cultivators and form a hunting team that operates slightly outside of the Holy Spirit Mountain."

"Now the safety in the market is gradually disappearing. If everyone works together, it will be much more secure."

"Moreover, if we share information, we can respond to changes."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Do you have any guarantees for the formation of the cultivator hunting team?"

"Those who join the team need to pledge their lives to the captain and return the pledge after the team disbands."

"I can recruit six cultivators."

Qin Qingrou squinted her eyes slightly and calculated for a while. "Husband, I know you value your life."

"But at this moment, a storm is coming. If we only rely on being passive, we will end up waiting for death."

"You are a high-level alchemist, and I have some influence. It shouldn't be difficult to form this hunting team."

Lu Yu frowned. He didn't understand anything about going out for hunting.

But Qin Qingrou knew the tricks of the trade. If she was confident about something, it was likely to succeed.

He couldn't obtain information from the market without going out, except through Liu the shopkeeper's communication.

Even Jiang Yuru from the Qingyun Pill Shop rarely went out.

It could be said that they were living a very secluded life, and naturally, the flow of information was also very limited.

However, he didn't immediately agree to Qin Qingrou because of this.

After hesitating for a while, he solemnly said, "Sister Qin, I don't think it's necessary to form a hunting team."

"In fact, I already have plans to take you away from the outskirts of the market."

"If we can go to the inner sect market, although our quality of life may decrease, we will be safer."

"In our family, only the two of us have some combat power, and I am not good at fighting. If there is an accident, we can only wait for death."

Qin Qingrou was stunned when she heard this, then leaned her head against Lu Yu's chest and said gently, "It's best if you have ideas and plans."

"If we want to go to the inner sect, we need to hurry."

Lu Yu nodded and said, "I'll go to the general affairs office later to ask."

"Let's sleep a little longer..."

The outer general affairs office of the Holy Spirit Mountain market.

At this moment, the entrance appeared somewhat deserted, but there were still more cultivators coming and going compared to ordinary shops.

Cultivators come here to pay the fee to exempt themselves from miscellaneous tasks or to receive miscellaneous tasks.

Of course, there are also cultivators who pay the rent for their immortal residence.

Lu Yu glanced at a few outer disciples of the Holy Spirit Mountain inside the general affairs office.

He approached one of them and handed over a few low-grade spirit stones, respectfully saying,

"Senior, I would like to ask when the divine bird will arrive to take us to the inner sect."

"Do you have any news recently?"

The outer disciple accepted the spirit stones and looked regretful, saying, "Don't wait anymore. The divine bird to the inner sect probably won't fly in these years."

Lu Yu was surprised to hear this and asked, "Why?"

The outer disciple gave Lu Yu a disdainful look and didn't answer.
