Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

As Lu Yu pondered, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

After witnessing Qin Qingrou summoning the spirit bull to battle, he became very eager for it.

Although it was extremely difficult to cultivate and strengthen the spirit beast's soul, Lu Yu saw many benefits in it.

Firstly, the spirit beast's soul was not easily destroyed. Unless a cultivator possessed a special artifact, the spirit beast's soul would escape like a wisp of breeze in this world, making it difficult to track.

Secondly, Lu Yu's own divine consciousness could continue to grow and strengthen. The stronger his divine consciousness, the more spirit beasts' souls he could control.

When fighting against others, it would be difficult to defeat him, especially when it came to outnumbering the opponent.

As an eighth-grade spirit master, he must develop this skill.

In the future, he could earn spirit stones by refining spirit beast pills and have a bunch of spirit beast souls as his subordinates.

As long as he didn't take unnecessary risks, he could steadily progress on the path of immortality.

But this idea was quickly shattered by the resounding explosion of purple thunder.

How tragic the deaths of the cultivators from the Yu Ling Sect.

Even with the protection of spirit beast souls in the future, he would still have to be extremely cautious.

Although the market seemed calm on the surface, the power struggle between sects in the dark had probably occurred countless times.

No, he couldn't be deceived by the illusion in front of him.

He still needed to find a way to leave. Although the Qingyun Commercial Gate was powerful, it couldn't suppress the local forces.

What if the Holy Spirit Mountain refused to let them leave during this evacuation?

Lu Yu's face was filled with worry as he hurriedly tidied himself up and went to the market.

After leaving the teleportation array, he saw the bustling scene in the market.

Even the street vendors who had disappeared for a long time had started to do business again.

If it weren't for the sound of the exploding purple thunder in his ears, he would almost think that the turbulent situation had already passed.

He first went to Xiangchun Garden.

However, Xiangchun Garden seemed much quieter than usual today.

An old lady sat in a chair at the entrance, eagerly pulling passersby, whether cultivators or mortals, into Xiangchun Garden.

Unfortunately, there were very few passersby.

Suddenly, the old lady caught sight of a familiar figure and immediately smiled, her face full of enthusiasm.

"Sir Immortal, you finally came. I've missed you so much."

She twisted her slightly sturdy waist and ran towards Lu Yu.

"Sir Immortal, if you don't come again, we at Xiangchun Garden will starve to death."

"Please come inside quickly."

Lu Yu suddenly remembered the first time he met this old lady. She had always been so enthusiastic.

After following the old lady to the third floor of Xiangchun Garden, the two of them entered a private room.

After Lu Yu sat down, the old lady served tea on the side.

"Can people still leave the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain now?"

After hearing this, the old lady hesitated for a moment and smiled, "Sir Immortal, are you leaving or not?"

"I asked someone in charge last time, but you didn't leave, which caused me to be scolded badly."

Lu Yu smiled slightly and took out a hundred low-grade spirit stones to offer.

"Please help me ask. As for whether I will leave or not, I still need to consider."

"Alright, alright." The old lady immediately changed her expression to a smile and held the spirit stones in her arms.

"Sir Immortal, please wait a moment. I'll go and ask."

After speaking, she closed her eyes and moved her lips, but no sound could be heard.

After a cup of tea's time, the old lady looked at Lu Yu and smiled, "Sir Immortal, you can leave if you want."

"But..."

Lu Yu furrowed his brow slightly and asked, "But what? Please tell me."

"It's just that the prices are going up, and many cultivators are planning to leave the peripheral market of the Holy Spirit Mountain."

"Scarcity makes things valuable, and the increase in the price of leaving is based on this principle."

"How much?" Lu Yu asked directly.

"Hehe, Immortal Sir, my superior said that this is the perfect time to leave. The people of the Holy Spirit Mountain are unlikely to make a big move easily, and there are only a dozen or so foreign sects left."

"And our method of taking people out is also discreet."

Lu Yu waved his hand and asked, "Just tell me the price."

"Eight hundred medium-grade spirit stones per person."

Lu Yu frowned and exclaimed, "So expensive?"

The old lady hurriedly smiled and said, "We have our reasons for being expensive."

Lu Yu was also undecided for a while.

...

The Tower of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Various ornaments were placed on the shelves that held the souls of spirit beasts.

Inside the ornaments, different souls of spirit beasts lay dormant.

In front of the ornaments were wooden signs with price tags, ranging from single-digit medium-grade spirit stones for the cheap ones to tens of thousands for the expensive ones.

Lu Yu had been here once when he activated his Spirit Master. He knew that the souls of spirit beasts that only required single-digit medium-grade spirit stones were nothing more than the souls of insects like the Six-eyed Poisonous Worm or the Spirit-devouring Poison Bee.

These insect-like spirit beast souls could be tamed because their spiritual intelligence was extremely low and their soul strength was not high.

Most of these low-level spirit beast souls were bought for exploring the deep mountains of the Holy Spirit Mountain.

Moreover, if they encountered some powerful beasts, these insect-like spirit beast souls would be instantly suppressed and scattered by the spiritual pressure.

Not to mention using them for battles, even their reimbursement rate for exploring was extremely high.

Furthermore, the quality of the materials that housed these spirit beast souls was mostly shoddy, just like disposable spiritual talismans.

As for the slightly higher ones, they were mostly spirit beasts raised for their meat.

These spirit beasts had already been domesticated, and unless they were practicing some special techniques, Lu Yu couldn't think of anyone else who would buy them.

Of course, there were also the souls of spirit cows, but those spirit cows didn't have a trace of the bloodline of a divine dragon in them, let alone being used for battle.

As for the souls of spirit beasts that cost tens of thousands of medium-grade spirit stones, they were much better.

Lu Yu had considered buying one of the cheaper ones, a double-headed spirit dragon.

This spirit dragon's soul seemed to have been captured in its youth and had grown two heads, requiring the cultivator to spend more spiritual consciousness to control it.

When cultivators spent a large amount of spiritual consciousness to control the souls of spirit beasts during battles, their own reactions would be greatly reduced.

With the same amount of spiritual consciousness, cultivators could control more powerful souls of spirit beasts. Using it on a double-headed spirit dragon seemed to be somewhat not worth it.

It was precisely because of this flaw that the price of that spirit dragon was much cheaper.

Seeing Lu Yu's envy, the shopkeeper Liu smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, do you have any favorites?"

Lu Yu looked at the shelves again and shook his head.

Then he left the Tower of Ten Thousand Spirits.

In the following days, he made several trips to the Qingyun Pill Shop to earn spirit stones by refining spirit beast pills.

Lu Yu had been very diligent before and had accumulated a considerable number of spirit stones, especially after being able to refine the Spirit-attaching Flame Pill, which was an exclusive secret technique of the Linghu Sect.

There were times when he was lucky enough to continuously return spiritual energy, and he realized that refining spirit beast pills for too long would also exhaust his spiritual consciousness.

He had already been selling spirit beast pills at a speed much faster than ordinary pill refiners. If he went any faster, he might attract the attention of the Qingyun Pill Shop.

But at this moment, the atmosphere on the Holy Spirit Mountain became increasingly strange, with more and more lively activities and more intense conflicts between sects.

Even if the various sects suddenly went to war with the Holy Spirit Mountain one day, it would probably not be enough.

And the fairy ship of the Qingyun Pill Shop had stopped flying again.

Lu Yu thought that he still needed to take a little risk and obtain the double-headed spirit dragon.

Based on his full dedication, his speed in refining spirit beast pills should be more than three times that of an ordinary cultivator.

If that was the case, he might be able to earn enough spirit stones for the Xiangchun Garden and the double-headed spirit dragon in just half a month.

By then, he would have an extra layer of security for himself and his wives.
