"Darling, Qin Sister today..." Ling'er looked at Qin Qingrou's figure as she descended the stairs, feeling a bit confused.

Lu Yu's old waist trembled as he embraced his wives and concubines into the master bedroom, awkwardly laughing, "Ahaha, it's nothing, it's nothing."

"Wow, this master bedroom can fit two large beds, we won't have to squeeze together anymore."

Wanwan's topic was successfully diverted, and she followed Lu Yu's gaze, revealing a joyful expression.

"Yes, darling, I was worried about being separated from Sister before I came here, but now we can be together again."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled faintly, "Together for what? Begging together?"

The two women's faces immediately turned red, and their fists rained down on Lu Yu's chest. Even Bai Lanshan, who was cold-faced beside them, couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

Watching the happy appearance of his wives and concubines, Lu Yu also felt a sense of relief.

At night, the group celebrated.

Lu Yu lay on the large bed made up of two beds, quietly reminiscing. After the prompt sound rang for a long time, he got up and walked downstairs.

He came to the large quiet room reserved for refining spirit beast pills downstairs, where a stone table was placed.

He turned his palm and took out the materials for the spirit beast pills from his storage ring. After a moment, he closed his eyes and focused his mind.

Only after clearing his mind of all distractions did he extend his palms and begin today's process of refining spirit beast pills.

For more than a week, his wives and concubines were immersed in the joy of moving, and as a result, Lu Yu's efficiency in dual cultivation at night also increased rapidly.

During the gap in refining spirit beast pills, Lu Yu also visited several nearby immortal towers.

After getting to know the alchemists and artifact refiners who lived nearby, they exchanged gifts and considered themselves acquainted.

But in just a few days, news spread that a high-level pill refiner had arrived at the nearby immortal tower.

The cultivators living here were also surprised to see Lu Yu's black and red cloud dao robe.

This was a guest pill refiner from the Qingyun Commercial Sect.

...

Inside the market, on the second floor of the Qingyun Pill Shop.

Jiang Yuru wore a tight-fitting water-sleeved dao robe, with her temples adorned with blue silk, and the remaining hair gathered at the back of her head in a lively and playful bun, with a jade hairpin with golden bells inserted in it.

She smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes turning to Lu Yu as she asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you really moved to Fengwu Residence. It's a pity, I didn't recommend it."

After speaking, a hint of coquettishness flashed in her expression as she stared at Lu Yu intently.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. If Fellow Daoist Jiang wants to take a look, you can come with me later."

Jiang Yuru stood up, poured tea for Lu Yu, and smiled, "Forget it, I'm afraid I'll disturb Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation."

"Where does Fellow Daoist Jiang live? I suppose it's also in the market's immortal residence, right?"

"If Fellow Daoist doesn't mind, I can visit and ask for advice on how to arrange my residence."

Jiang Yuru smiled and remained silent, extending her slender jade finger and dipping it into the tea in Lu Yu's cup, drawing a number two on the table.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, this is not a place for jokes."

After speaking, she gracefully walked out of the room.

Lu Yu suddenly showed a hint of confusion, finished his tea, and left the Qingyun Pill Shop.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly.

Lu Yu received a message from Liu the shopkeeper and hurried to the Wanling Tower.

As soon as he entered the Wanling Tower, Lu Yu saw Shangguan Feiyu, a tall figure in a purple-patterned dao robe.

After exchanging a few words with Liu the shopkeeper, he walked towards Shangguan Feiyu.

"It is said that many cultivators are trapped in that pagoda."

"It's great to see you return safely. I'm sure Wanwan will be very happy too." Lu Yu greeted him with joy on his face.

Unexpectedly, a touch of desolation flashed in Shangguan Feiyu's calm eyes. His voice was still low as he spoke:

"I was fortunate enough to escape."

"That trapped pagoda is extraordinary, with numerous mechanisms inside."

"Senior Lu, let's find another place to talk."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu nodded slightly.

Compared to himself, Shangguan Feiyu's aura was slightly weaker, probably only at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining. To be able to escape from that pagoda, he must have experienced numerous dangers.

Especially when news spread that even Foundation Establishment cultivators were trapped and killed on the seventh floor of the pagoda, many cultivators who sought great opportunities in the market lost their enthusiasm. There were even many who turned back from deep within the Holy Spirit Mountain.

Lu Yu exchanged a few more pleasantries with Liu the shopkeeper before leading Shangguan Feiyu towards the Wanyue Hall.

Before long, Lu Yu rented a quiet room in the Wanyue Hall and invited Shangguan Feiyu to enter together.

The two sat on the cushions in the center of the room.

Lu Yu took the initiative to ask, "What exactly happened? Is there some hidden situation behind all this?"

Shangguan Feiyu's face darkened as he said, "There may be changes on the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain."

"Starting from the controlled outbreak of ferocious beasts, all of this is a scheme set up by the sect within the Holy Spirit Mountain."

"As for the emergence of the secret treasure and the treacherous pagoda, they are all part of this scheme!"

As he said this, he suddenly got up, knelt on both knees, and pleaded, "I can't reveal too much about this matter. I only ask that Senior take Wanzhuo and leave the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain as soon as possible."

"The sooner, the better, but no later than three years."

"Otherwise, everything will be over."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was shocked and showed a difficult expression, saying, "Currently, it is only allowed to enter the market, not to leave. It is difficult to find a way to leave."

"Go find Xiangchun Garden. The people above that old lady can help you leave."

Lu Yu frowned and asked, "Do you know the people above that old lady?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Feiyu smiled bitterly and said, "Not only do I know them, I have been working for them for quite some time."

"In their eyes, low-level Qi Refining cultivators like me are nothing more than cannon fodder."

Lu Yu found it difficult to distinguish the truth from what Shangguan Feiyu said, and hesitated for a moment.

But the other party was Wanzhuo's older brother. After being out of contact for a long time, he was able to return. Presumably, he had a deep bond with Wanzhuo and wouldn't harm himself.

"I have never seen the so-called people above that old lady."

"And besides, they dare to engage in usury and trafficking of female cultivators. They are probably not good people!" Lu Yu sighed.

"I know, so please keep this."

After saying that, Shangguan Feiyu turned his palm and took out a piece of purple cloud that crackled with thunder and a jade slip from his storage ring.

"With this calamity cloud and jade slip, there is an eighty percent chance that those people won't easily harm you."

"Senior Lu, I have been visiting my sister since I started from the villages outside the market."

"I know she is doing well, and even when she is in the market, she occasionally goes out with you."

"I entrust my younger sister to you from now on!"

After saying that, Shangguan Feiyu got up, his knees softened, and he was about to kneel towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu quickly used a spiritual technique to lift Shangguan Feiyu up with a gentle breeze.

"You don't have to do this. Wanzhuo is my Dao companion, so it is natural for me to protect her."

"Thank you."

After saying that, Shangguan Feiyu turned and left the quiet room.

Looking at the calamity cloud and jade slip he left behind, Lu Yu's expression was complicated.

This must be the treasure that Shangguan Feiyu risked his life to obtain.
