Lu Yu felt that after parting ways with Shangguan Feiyu today, they might never see each other again.

At the latest, three years...

A sense of melancholy washed over him, and he turned and left the quiet room of the Pill Learning Hall.

...

Mount Shengling.

On the top of a mountain, where spiritual energy gathered and pierced the clouds, stood a magnificent golden palace with the words "Jade Dome Golden Palace" inscribed on its front.

Inside the palace, a cultivator dressed in white robes, with a face like jade and sharp eyebrows, paced slowly.

Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared from within his robe, and without any visible movement, a sound transmission jade slip floated out and hung in front of him.

He infused his divine sense into it.

"Master, all twelve Nascent Soul cultivators from the sects have arrived outside Mount Shengling."

"Should we take action?"

The cultivator in white robes smiled faintly and replied, "No rush. With the emergence of the treasure and the boundless opportunities, they won't remain indifferent."

"It seems that a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Demon Sect has already reached the eighth floor of the pagoda."

"It doesn't matter."

After the communication ended, the cultivator in white robes retrieved the sound transmission jade slip into his robe and walked out of the golden palace.

Looking at the clouds swirling around the peak of the mountain, he smiled contentedly and said, "Countless years have passed, and Nascent Soul cultivation is just the beginning."

"I will advance further and attain longevity with the heavens and earth."

After laughing, he casually plucked a leaf, causing the clouds and mist around the mountain peak to stagnate, and then several thunderclouds and lightning beads were born.

...

More than a month passed.

Some impatient Nascent Soul cultivators rushed into the tower, overcoming obstacles along the way, intending to reach the eighth floor directly.

However, when they arrived at the seventh floor, they couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before them.

Countless cultivators who were imprisoned on the seventh floor had died or been seriously injured.

Some had their abdomens pierced, their Gold Cores taken.

Some had their limbs severed, turning into pig-like creatures.

There were even lost souls turning into demonic cultivators, waiting for an opportunity to possess others.

Those who managed to survive were also heavily injured and mentally unstable.

As for the thunderclouds and lightning beads, they had a hint of crimson.

Such a situation made the other Nascent Soul cultivators who followed closely behind also filled with fear.

Some formed temporary alliances and planned to advance to the next floor, while others retreated in a hurry.

But most cultivators chose to observe for a while.

After all, when treasures emerge, they are often accompanied by bloodshed. If they can be easily obtained, it's not worth boasting about.

In the city, at the Phoenix Dance Immortal Tower.

After meeting Shangguan Feiyu, Lu Yu spent more time refining spirit beast pills.

Regardless of whether the rumors about Mount Shengling setting up a trap were true or false, he needed to earn enough spirit stones for future needs.

He didn't even have time to go out and investigate the news and movements of the treasure.

This afternoon.

Qin Qingrou walked out of a small quiet room. The medicinal power of the Extinction Pill she had been taking had been consumed for more than half a year.

At this moment, the side effects of the Beast Dark Root in her body had been greatly suppressed. Not only did she completely recover from the previous setback in her cultivation, but she also made progress.

She still had a good chance of reaching the Foundation Building stage in the future.

In the large quiet room, Lu Yu's eyes were somewhat vacant, but there was a slight smile on his lips.

Under his diligent refinement, the success rate of the Spirit Fusion Flame Pill had greatly increased.

From the original one-tenth to now one-third, plus the 30% discount on materials at Qingyun Pill Shop, it can be foreseen that in the near future, he will quickly accumulate wealth.

After refining the spirit beast pill for several days, there are very few materials left.

After Lu Yu emptied his last bit of spiritual power, he tidied up and came to Qingyun Shop.

As soon as he entered the shop, Jiang Yuru warmly welcomed him to the second-floor private room.

As he entered the private room, Lu Yu was taken aback.

There were already many cultivators sitting and enjoying tea, including Foundation Building cultivators and even Core Formation cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you hadn't come, I was just about to find you," Jiang Yuru said with a slightly nervous expression, concealing her smile.

"The situation with the treasure has changed, and Qingyun Shop is preparing to evacuate."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu frowned, but he didn't say much. He walked into the private room, greeted the cultivators he knew, and found a secluded corner to sit down.

Qingyun Shop was actually preparing to evacuate. It seems that the trap set by Shengling Mountain is much more serious than what Shangguan Feiyu said.

You see, even if they can't directly obtain the treasure, just the spiritual herbs that grew overnight around the pit are enough to benefit both the cultivators and the shop.

At this time, Qingyun Shop is actually planning to evacuate.

Just as Lu Yu was pondering in shock and doubt, a cultivator in a blue Daoist robe walked in. It was the Nascent Soul cultivator sent by Qingyun Shop.

"Fellow Daoists, the situation with the treasure has changed, and Qingyun Shop has arranged for everyone to evacuate in batches."

"Each month, a group will leave with the cargo ship, and each cultivator in the group will have two spots."

"If any of you have many family members, please make preparations early."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was shocked but also felt a sense of relief.

Recently, he had been refining spirit beast pills to earn spirit stones in order to accumulate enough for his family's travel expenses.

Being invited to the private room to hear the evacuation news, he must be qualified to receive two spots in each batch.

If he could leave from Qingyun Pill Shop, it would be much safer.

Moreover, with the background of Qingyun Shop, if they really intended to evacuate, Shengling Mountain would probably not dare to stop them.

"For the first batch of evacuations, please let your relatives leave first."

"In addition, a guest cultivator of the first rank can have an extra spot, and a second rank can have two extra spots, and so on."

"You should go back and prepare. The cargo ship will arrive in half a month."

The cultivator in the blue Daoist robe spoke again, his deep voice seemed to have a captivating charm.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu had already walked out of Qingyun Pill Shop.

Looking at Ye Daotong, who had just regained his senses, Lu Yu quickly bowed and asked, "Senior Ye, I am ignorant. May I ask if there is any deeper meaning behind what the Patriarch just said?"

Ye Daotong leaned closer and whispered, "The first group to board the cargo ship for evacuation is probably a test for Shengling Mountain. The Patriarch reminded us to send our relatives on the ship first."

"As for the rest, I dare not speculate."

"But with the strong background of Qingyun Shop, Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't need to worry too much. Even if there are unexpected events, there will be Core Formation cultivators accompanying the ship as guards."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu was shocked. If there were unexpected events, it would involve battles between Core Formation cultivators.

He was not good at battles among Qi Refining cultivators, let alone participating in battles among Core Formation cultivators.

He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to withstand the aftermath of the battle.

Lu Yu forced a smile and asked, "Senior Ye, are you planning to send your relatives on the ship?"

Ye Daotong looked at Lu Yu meaningfully.

"On one hand, this matter should not be publicized, but someone needs to board the ship to test Shengling Mountain's attitude."

"On the other hand, leaving early may not be a bad thing. Even the pill shop is evacuating, so the situation must be urgent."

"I will leave first, or I will discuss it with my family whether they should leave first."

Lu Yu felt a little at a loss for a moment, but after regaining his senses, he didn't delay any longer. He bowed to Ye Daotong and said, "Thank you, Senior Ye, for your guidance."

Returning to Fengwu Residence, he stood in the courtyard.

He watched as the recently planted fruits and vegetables began to sprout, not knowing how to approach his wives and concubines.

Two spots per batch, he had five people who needed to evacuate.

Who should go first, and who should go last?
