Lu Yu frowned and interrupted, "This time, I'm not here to take concubines."

"I would like to ask you to inquire with your superiors if it is possible to leave the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain and go elsewhere."

The smile on the old lady's face instantly disappeared, "This, this is difficult."

"Sir Immortal, why are you leaving all of a sudden?"

"During this period, countless immortals have come from outside, and it's bustling. Even the Yue Ling Immortal Sect is planning to establish a long-term presence here."

"The day of prosperity is yet to come, and it may even surpass the internal sect. Many cultivators are eager to come here."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled and said, "Now that all the sects in the market are gathered, there are all kinds of rumors circulating."

"Hasn't anyone from your superiors told you anything?"

"The transportation of divine birds and spirit birds between the outskirts of the market and the internal sect has been suspended. It seems that something big is about to happen."

The old lady was taken aback and exclaimed, "Really? The communication between the two markets of the Holy Spirit Immortal Mountain has been cut off?"

Lu Yu took out three middle-grade spirit stones and placed them on the table, then looked at the old lady.

He wasn't sure if the changes in the market would be told to the old lady by her superiors, but showing some financial power might be helpful.

Sure enough, the old lady's eyes lit up as she looked at the three middle-grade spirit stones and licked her lips.

"Sir Immortal, you truly have a discerning eye. Recently, even the people above me have been complaining that the market will become chaotic and business will suffer."

"But I don't know exactly when it will start or what the impact will be."

"If Sir Immortal wants to inquire about the news, I'm afraid I can't tell you anything."

Lu Yu said frankly, "Old lady, I want to leave the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain. Please inquire on my behalf."

The old lady looked around, closed the door carefully, and whispered, "Sir Immortal, please don't pressure me. I..."

Lu Yu took out seven middle-grade spirit stones from his storage ring.

The ten slightly glowing middle-grade spirit stones gradually enlarged in the old lady's eyes, and she couldn't help but show a pleased expression.

"Ah, what is this for?"

"I understand, wait for me." After saying that, the old lady sat down on a chair, closed her eyes, and moved her lips slightly, as if communicating with someone using a special method.

After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and said, "Fifty middle-grade spirit stones can send one person away!"

...

Leaving Xiangchun Garden and entering the market.

Lu Yu's steps were steady, and his uneasiness gradually calmed down.

He now had two options to leave: Qingyun Commercial Gate and Xiangchun Garden.

No matter how the situation developed in the future, he had a way to leave this place.

Of course, compared to the cultivators in Xiangchun Garden who didn't even show their faces, he hoped to smoothly take the path of Qingyun Commercial Gate.

Half a month later!

He hoped to pass the evaluation of Qingyun Commercial Gate.

He cleared his mind and walked towards the Pill Refining Hall.

After waiting for a long time, Qin Qingrou finally walked over with a smile on her face.

Seeing that Lu Yu's expression was calm, she couldn't help but guess, "Have you taken care of everything?"

Lu Yu shook his head and smiled, "Not completely, but it's almost there."

"How about your situation?"

Qin Qingrou smiled, "With my Qi Refining at seventy percent and your identity as a high-level alchemist, it's not difficult to form a hunting cultivator team."

"Among them, there is another cultivator whose cultivation level is slightly higher than mine and is willing to join. I just probed his intentions, that's why I came late."

"A cultivator with a higher cultivation level than you?" Lu Yu's face showed surprise.

Qin Qingrou looked around the desolate and dilapidated Wanxue Hall, tugged at Lu Yu's Dao robe, and said, "Let's go back to the Immortal Mansion first and talk."

The two locked eyes, and a burst of electricity surged through the air.

Then, they interlocked their fingers and walked together.

"Sister Qin, let's take a back door and discuss matters later when we get back."

"Can't we discuss matters first?"

"No!"

Once they returned to the Immortal Mansion, before Ling'er could see clearly, two figures flashed into the room with the gentle breeze.

Immediately, the ground shook and the sky roared.

Qin Qingrou lightly leaned her smooth back against Lu Yu's chest, curled up slightly like a cat, her cheeks blushing. "My dear, when will you be able to openly visit the main entrance?"

Lu Yu smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, when my cultivation level is higher and I find a better dual cultivation technique, I will definitely satisfy you."

Then, his expression turned serious as he held Qin Qingrou's slender waist and said, "Sister Qin, the market is gradually becoming dangerous and the situation is irreversible. The speed of change may be faster than we expected."

"You can form a team of hunting cultivators, but try to avoid going on missions."

Qin Qingrou nodded. She and Lu Yu understood each other's thoughts. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't take unnecessary risks."

"And the hunting cultivator team is only for gathering information about the market, not for actually hunting fierce beasts."

"That's right. It's better to have more sources of information than relying solely on the Wanling Tower and the Qingyun Pill Shop for information."

"And if we can learn about the progress and situation of establishing a new market from someone among them, that would be even better."

"I always feel that establishing a new market might just be a cover."

Lu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "In the next few days, I will try to find an opportunity to contact that Fellow Daoist Guan."

"He often goes out and is extremely skilled in venturing outside. He may have other information as well."

Qin Qingrou nodded and said, "Or maybe I should take the lead."

The two continued to chat for a while. Just as Lu Yu was about to get up and dress, Qin Qingrou pressed him down.

"Planning to run away?"

After a while, the room became passionate again.

In the following half month, Lu Yu worked even harder to refine the Spirit Beast Pills, reducing the frequency of their dual cultivation.

The purpose was to be in a good state during the assessment at the Qingyun Pill Shop.

If he could successfully refine a powerful pill with pure spiritual energy, he might have a good chance of being evaluated positively.

Half a month later, Lu Yu arrived at the Qingyun Pill Shop.

He took a deep breath before stepping in.

Jiang Yuru had been waiting in the shop for a long time. When she saw Lu Yu, she warmly greeted him and led him to the backyard.

As they approached the backyard, Lu Yu's breathing became slightly faster.

He wanted to think about something else, to divert his attention from this nervousness, but his gaze fell on Jiang Yuru's curvaceous figure behind her loose Dao robe.

If it weren't for the loose robe covering her, Jiang Yuru would surely be a stunning beauty.

Once they entered the room, his gaze finally calmed down a bit, although he still felt nervous. Inside the room, Jiang Yuru waved her hand, and a simple wooden table was covered with a pile of materials for refining Spirit Beast Pills.

Although the situation here was different from the quiet room he had set up himself, these materials that he came into contact with every day still gave him a sense of familiarity.

"Da Shi Pill, Bao Sheng Pill, Beast Spirit Pill, Great Strength Pill..."

Even just by their smell, he could easily distinguish these materials.
