Jiang Yuru and Lu Yu have known each other for several years and consider themselves familiar friends. However, Jiang Yuru has never seen such an eager expression on Lu Yu's face before.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, let's talk inside."

Jiang Yuru handed her task to the alchemist in the shop and led Lu Yu to the backyard.

After arriving at a room, she invited Lu Yu to sit down and brewed a cup of tea.

During this time, Jiang Yuru discreetly observed Lu Yu and secretly speculated. It wasn't until she served the spiritual tea that she smiled and asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu, why are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Yu took a sip of the tea and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, yesterday I went to the general affairs office to inquire about the return of the divine birds and spiritual birds from the internal sect."

"Who knows, they have stopped flying, and the immortal ships traveling to other districts won't be available for several years."

"I wonder if Qingyun Pill Shop has a way to leave the outskirts of Shengling Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuru's face showed surprise, "Fellow Daoist Lu wants to leave?"

"Yes, I feel that the district is becoming increasingly unsafe."

"The management of the outer gate of Shengling Mountain is lax and ineffective. Not only me, but also several of my wives agree with the idea of leaving."

Jiang Yuru leaned closer and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Lu, Qingyun Pill Shop does have immortal ships that travel to other districts."

"But..."

Lu Yu's face immediately showed joy, "If I need some spirit stones for the travel expenses, I am willing to pay."

Jiang Yuru smiled and shook her head, "It's not about the travel expenses, but about joining Qingyun Pill Shop in order to board the cargo ships."

"After all, a ship full of goods is worth tens or hundreds of millions of spirit stones, which is normal."

"Based on the current cooperation between you and the shop, you are not eligible to board."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu immediately asked, "May I ask how to join Qingyun Pill Shop?"

Jiang Yuru frowned, "That's not easy."

"Alchemy masters have corresponding assessments. In addition to the cultivator's own realm, they also need to submit the refined spirit beast pills for evaluation."

"And even newly joined high-level alchemy masters may not have the qualifications to directly board the cargo ships."

Lu Yu lowered his head upon hearing this, not expecting the boarding conditions of Qingyun Pill Shop to be so strict.

But it made sense. With a ship full of goods worth tens or hundreds of millions of spirit stones, it wouldn't be excessive to be cautious.

With this in mind, Lu Yu could only sigh softly.

He then asked about other ways to board the ship, but Jiang Yuru could only provide limited information, leaving Lu Yu still confused.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the current situation is special, and it is not impossible to make an exception, but Fellow Daoist still needs to prove his efforts."

"Do you want to give it a try?" Jiang Yuru asked.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Yu firmly said, "I'll give it a try."

If he could join Qingyun Pill Shop, even if he went to other districts in the future, he would still receive care and support.

However, he would have to be more discreet when selling spirit beast pills in the future.

Here, he could still use the excuse of being protected by senior experts, but once he went to other districts, he would be bound to Qingyun Pill Shop.

By then, it would be difficult to explain the increase in his cultivation speed due to the improvement of his spiritual roots or the large production of spirit beast pills.

And with Qingyun Pill Shop's capabilities, they would surely notice his abnormalities. What would happen then was uncertain.

He was also unsure of the talent level of the spirit beast pills he currently produced at his age, but they should be considered above average.

Before long, Jiang Yuru spoke again, "Fellow Daoist Lu, are you sure you want to join?"

Seeing Lu Yu nod, Jiang Yuru said, "We will send the spirit beast pills you refined this time as a sample to the Qingyun headquarters thousands of miles away for evaluation."

"Regarding the time, it will be about half a month. After half a month, Fellow Daoist Lu will have to come again, and there will be a specialized high-level alchemist to conduct an on-site evaluation of Fellow Daoist Lu."

"The main purpose is to confirm the cultivation level and the proficiency in refining spirit beast pills, as well as factors such as age and spiritual roots."

"This is the usual procedure of our Qingyun Commercial Sect. I hope Fellow Daoist can understand."

"If Fellow Daoist Lu meets the requirements to join the Qingyun Commercial Sect, he will naturally become a guest alchemist of the sect."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu asked eagerly, "What benefits can one enjoy as a guest alchemist?"

Jiang Yuru smiled slightly and said, "I can't reveal too much at the moment, but once you pass, you will be informed."

Lu Yu's heart sank. This was classified information.

After a brief conversation, Lu Yu bid farewell with a bow. He hesitated and asked one last question.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, the Asura Demon Sect is currently residing in the city, and the situation is tense. In case of any accidents, can your sect guarantee the safety of the guest alchemists?"

This was his most important purpose for this trip. During the conversation, he had learned that the Qingyun Pill Shop was a shop under the Qingyun Commercial Sect.

But he didn't know the true capabilities of this sect.

Jiang Yuru confidently smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, please rest assured."

"If you become a guest alchemist of our sect, even if the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Holy Spirit Mountain comes, they won't be able to harm you easily."

Only then did Lu Yu feel relieved. He turned and left the Qingyun Pill Shop.

On his way back to Xianju, images of Jiang Yuru's confident smile kept appearing in his mind.

Even the Nascent Soul Ancestor wouldn't be able to harm him easily.

Being able to say such words was enough to prove the strength of the Qingyun Commercial Sect.

He turned his head and looked at the majestic facade of the Qingyun Pill Shop, feeling as if there was a hidden profound meaning and a faint image of a powerful beast.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Yu left with large strides.

However, just as he was about to reach the teleportation array of Tenglong Residence, he changed his mind and headed straight to Xiangchun Garden.

He couldn't put all his eggs in one basket.

Based on the current situation, the Qingyun Commercial Sect was undoubtedly his best choice.

Although he was older and his quality of refining spirit beast pills was considered excellent, his cultivation level was not high at the moment. Whether he could become a guest alchemist of the Qingyun Commercial Sect was still unknown.

Thinking about the life and death situation in half a month, he couldn't help but worry.

If he failed to become a guest alchemist of the Qingyun Sect, the people above Xiangchun Garden would be his only hope to leave this city.

After a short walk, Lu Yu arrived at Xiangchun Garden.

Inside the garden, the old lady greeted Lu Yu warmly.

"Sir Immortal, sir Immortal, what a rare guest. Please come in quickly."

She was heavily made up and walked towards Lu Yu with a swaying waist, leading him upstairs into a private room.

"Sir Immortal, did that Immortal Madam from last time behave herself?"

"Although she is a bit special, her appearance is indeed remarkable."

The old lady gave a thumbs up and praised her.

"Sir Immortal, I guess you haven't been here these days because you've been busy pampering that Immortal Madam, right?"

Lu Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "Sort of."

The old lady's face showed a teasing expression. "Pampering is the right thing to do. If you treat her well, she will be more obedient to you."

"What kind of person are you looking for this time? Although it's not easy to find an Immortal Madam with a special spiritual root, I still have some options."

"Although their temperaments need some polishing, as long as Sir Immortal speaks up, I will do my best to ensure that you..."
