Lu Yu's old waist trembled, and he quickly hugged Qin Qingrou tightly.

"Rou'er, didn't you just say you wanted to rest?"

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Qin Qingrou activated her spiritual power, and the power that erupted from her body was unexpectedly stronger than Lu Yu's.

"Xiao Luzi, just obediently listen to your sister."

In an instant, a fierce battle broke out again.

After a few more days of fighting, the two finally separated with understanding.

Before Ling'er left, Lu Yu had already lost weight, but now he had lost even more weight.

Fortunately, Lu Yu had a good diet in the past and had some fat reserves. Otherwise, after all this turmoil, he would have become skin and bones.

Qin Qingrou was also exhausted. She had originally enjoyed it, but in the end, she got into a fight with Lu Yu.

If you don't call it quits, don't expect me to call it quits!

Lu Yu's two forces rose, and he used a secret technique to blow his clothes up, grabbed them, and then supported his old waist as he left.

"Rou'er, next time you can't be so reckless."

After speaking, he left with a slightly red corner of his eye.

Lu Yu rested in the quiet room for a while before he slightly recovered.

He freshened up and went to Qingyun Pill Shop.

Moving to Fengwu Residence, Lu Yu indeed felt much more convenient.

Mainly because there was a teleportation exit located not far from Qingyun Pill Shop in a small alley.

After teleporting, it only took a few steps to arrive.

Stepping into Qingyun Pill Shop, Lu Yu found Jiang Yuru who was busy.

Because they had to inform the cooperating cultivators about the evacuation of Poyun City, the pill boys were all sent out.

And the pill shop had to be evacuated, just sorting out the goods was enough to keep Jiang Yuru busy for a while.

But when she saw Lu Yu, Jiang Yuru still smiled and welcomed him.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, there have been some changes in the evacuation plan." Jiang Yuru smiled apologetically.

"Because many sects and businesses are evacuating from the city, it has aroused the attention of the sects inside Shengling Mountain."

"Now all the immortal ships from the main building have been ordered to stop flying."

"But don't worry, the Nascent Soul seniors from the main building have gone to negotiate with the sects inside Shengling Mountain. I believe there will be results soon."

Lu Yu frowned slightly at the words.

"May I ask when the evacuation can be arranged again?"

"For this matter, you may have to ask Senior Ye. These Foundation Building cultivators may have received the notice before me." Jiang Yuru replied.

This time, Lu Yu specially bought a pair of sound transmission jade slips and handed one of them to Jiang Yuru.

This was something he had been wanting to do but had been delayed.

After that, he found Ye Daotong.

Although Ye Daotong was not the shopkeeper of the store, he was a guest alchemist of a higher rank than Lu Yu.

It was said that he originally came from Qingyun Commercial Gate and was sent by the main building. His background and connections were even more impressive than the average shopkeeper.

"Soonest would be a month, but it could take three to four months." Ye Daotong saw Lu Yu's worried expression and explained for a moment.

Negotiations between major forces often involved the exchange of chips. It would take several rounds of confrontation and could not be resolved in just one or two days.

Moreover, they were still in the process of negotiation. Whether the other party was using a delaying tactic or planning to raise the price, at least during the negotiation period, they would not take any rash actions.

Moreover, it seemed that this time, it was not just an elder from Qingyun Commercial Gate who went.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please rest assured. Since the Nascent Soul cultivators from other sects have witnessed the tragic situation of the Seven-layered Pagoda, they have become cautious."

"This time, they are going to negotiate together, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, and his worries gradually subsided.

"I hope we can leave here in a few more days."

Ye Daotong smiled and said, "The first ship to evacuate has safely flown out of Shengling Mountain. The other ships will come soon."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye."

"No need to be polite, Fellow Daoist Lu. Although your aptitude is average, your character is excellent. Even if you leave here and go to Broken Cloud City, given time, you will definitely stand out."

"By then, there might even be a chance for you to go to the main building of Qingyun Shop to study."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's expression changed slightly. "Senior Ye, isn't Broken Cloud City where the main building of Qingyun Shop is located?"

Ye Dao Tong laughed and said, "Of course not."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you have only recently joined our business sect, so naturally there are many things you don't understand. The main building is where all the cultivators who cooperate with our business sect go."

"You will understand in the future."

After saying that, a look of reminiscence appeared on his face.

...

Deep within the Holy Spirit Mountain.

The half-opened market in the vicinity was abandoned.

Not far from the market was a huge pit, with a pagoda standing tall inside the pit.

As the number of levels that cultivators entered the pagoda increased, the pagoda also grew higher, which was quite strange.

If a cultivator outside the pagoda tried to explore with their divine sense, they would be bounced back.

The eighth level of the pagoda.

Inside the level, there were rusty iron racks, all connected from the ground.

From their shape, one could vaguely tell that they were used for torturing people, and the most prominent one was the guillotine in the center of the level.

At this moment, a group of cultivators formed three circles, totaling about a hundred people, all solemnly examining the torture instruments in front of them.

Among them, several Nascent Soul cultivators stepped forward, and one of them, with a mustache, said, "I thought that the Thunder Beads that can help people be reborn and cultivate the Thunder Spiritual Root were already a precious treasure bestowed by the heavens and earth."

"I didn't expect that there would be an eighth level above the seventh level, and a ninth level above the eighth level."

"Could it be that this pagoda goes on endlessly?"

Another Nascent Soul cultivator sneered, "That's impossible."

"The seventh level is a great opportunity. We eagerly opened the eighth level, but unexpectedly, we encountered these things."

"Although these torture instruments are good treasures, they are useless even if we take them away because they are connected to the pagoda."

"We have suffered a big loss this time."

The Nascent Soul cultivators present nodded in agreement.

"I think that this place is not where treasures naturally appear, but rather, it is the treasures that have caused the appearance of anomalies."

"I'm afraid that the Thunder Beads on the seventh level of the pagoda are already the most tempting treasures that the person who set up this pagoda can offer."

An elderly Nascent Soul cultivator said.

"Do you all know that it is said that there is a great formation in the Holy Spirit Mountain, with infinite power, capable of even slaying a Soul Formation cultivator? The formation flags and formation eyes used in the formation are tower-shaped magical instruments."

"That old man in the Holy Spirit Mountain has created a love trap and is hiding, just to lure us in."

"Let's join forces and go to the ninth level. Nine is the ultimate number, and there won't be a tenth level."

"The sooner we explore it, the sooner we can leave."

...

Another autumn arrived.

The autumn wind was chilling in the market.

Lu Yu was in a fierce battle with Qin Qingrou when a white light suddenly flashed from his storage ring.

Lu Yu's divine sense entered it and found that it was a message from Liu the shopkeeper.

After thinking for a moment, even though he was about to leave, Lu Yu decided to go to Wanling Tower again.

He had a good relationship with Liu the shopkeeper before, and he didn't want to let Liu the shopkeeper down.

"Fellow Daoist Lu."

Upon receiving Lu Yu's response and knowing that he was coming, Liu the shopkeeper had been waiting in front of Wanling Tower.

Liu the shopkeeper warmly welcomed Lu Yu into a room in the backyard.

As soon as he entered the room, Lu Yu saw Zhong Xintong.

He quickly saluted and respectfully said, "Senior Zhong."
