Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

The outskirts of Shengling Mountain.

That is the place where Lu Yu has lived for over twenty years.

There, he experienced despair, hard work, struggle, and an infinite longing for the path of immortality.

But all of these are about to open a new chapter at this moment.

Lu Yu's mind is filled with mixed thoughts.

He holds Qin Qingrou tightly by his side and gazes into the distance.

...

A few more days pass.

A streak of light falls thunderously near the border of Jingguo!

A cultivator with a white base and black stripes on his robe stands at the bow of the ship and says, "Everyone, my fellow disciples and I have worked hard to escort you here, and we deserve credit for our efforts."

"Now the way out is right in front of you, but whether you can step on it or not depends on how much you can reward us."

As soon as he finishes speaking, the cultivators inside the immortal ship all have a change in their expressions.

Although some people have already guessed it, they still feel somewhat resentful when it comes to paying the disembarkation fee.

Lu Yu furrows his brows slightly, hesitating about how many spirit stones he should give.

Suddenly, a cultivator with a white base and black stripes on his robe floats towards him.

"Somebody has paid the disembarkation fee for you. Follow me."

Lu Yu no longer conserves his spiritual power and uses a magical tool to carry the two women as they float down the bow of the ship with that cultivator.

Just as they are about to leave, Shangguan Feiyu suddenly appears again and bows, saying, "Senior, I have troubled you to take care of my younger sister."

After speaking, Shangguan Feiyu flies towards the immortal ship.

Lu Yu watches Shangguan Feiyu's hurried figure and a complex expression surges on his face.

"Where in life do we not meet?"

Qin Qingrou, hearing this, asks curiously, "Husband, do you know that cultivator?"

"He is Wanzhuo's older brother."

"We were able to safely evacuate Shengling Mountain this time thanks to his guidance."

Of course, the medium-grade spirit stones given to Grandma Xiangchun also played a significant role.

Since he saw that all the cultivators disembarking from the immortal ship were wearing white base and black striped robes, he knew that Grandma Xiangchun had not deceived him.

But just now, if it weren't for Shangguan Feiyu opening a convenient door for him, he would probably have lost everything.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and the world is unpredictable.

Suddenly, the robe in front of Lu Yu ripples, and then Jiang Yuru emerges.

She is drenched in sweat, her limbs trembling slightly, and even her plain robe is almost transparent.

She catches her breath and bows to Lu Yu.

"Thank you, Senior."

Jiang Yuru knows that if it weren't for Lu Yu's protection along the way, she might have died in the mountains and been devoured by beasts.

Lu Yu nods slightly and asks, "No need to be polite, Fellow Daoist Jiang, where will you go from here?"

Qingyun Commercial Gate has branches in various districts and markets, but these branches were established very early on and are likely to be fully staffed.

With the withdrawal of the Qingyun Commercial Gate's branch outside Shengling Mountain, it is equivalent to severing the relationship with cultivators like Jiang Yuru who work in the service stores.

Now that Jiang Yuru is without support, if she wants to return to the branch of the Qingyun Commercial Gate in an unfamiliar district, she is afraid she will be left with no options.

That's why Lu Yu asked this question.

"I am now a wanderer, how would I know where to go?"

"But rest assured, Senior, I will repay the cost of boarding the immortal ship as soon as possible."

When Grandma Xiangchun collected 2,400 medium-grade spirit stones, she noticed it and naturally calculated that Lu Yu had paid over a hundred more medium-grade spirit stones for her.

But now, she can't come up with the repayment even if she wants to.

She cupped her hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I cannot thank you enough for your great kindness. However, I am currently in the wilderness. Could you allow me to chatter a bit more and accompany you on the journey?"

Lu Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "There is no need to rush about the matter of spiritual stones."

"My wife and I plan to go to the capital city of Jingguo, Poyun City. If it's on the way, let's go together."

"Perhaps Fellow Daoist Jiang has gone to Poyun City. With his experience in managing shops and connections in the Qingyun Merchant Sect, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find another job."

Jiang Yuru smiled sweetly and said, "That is exactly my plan."

And so, the three of them chatted as they walked, steadily making their way towards the capital city of Jingguo.

They had been traveling for more than a day.

Suddenly, Lu Yu and Qin Qingrou frowned at the same time.

"Master." Qin Qingrou called softly.

But Lu Yu had already looked towards the distant horizon. "Qingrou, have you also noticed?"

As they conversed, they stopped at a mountain top.

Qin Qingrou's face darkened as she said, "Master, the cultivators who boarded the immortal boat behind us have caught up!"

"Don't panic. They might just happen to be passing by. Besides, there are only five Qi Refining cultivators."

Lu Yu smiled faintly, flipped his palm to take out a formation and set it up around them. Then, he summoned the twin-headed spirit dragons and concealed them in his Dao robe.

His divine sense far surpassed cultivators of the same level. He had even sensed the approaching cultivators before Qin Qingrou.

From their aura, the opponents were only three Qi Refining cultivators at the high stage. If they were to forcefully attack, Lu Yu was confident that he could handle them with the pre-arranged formation.

Jiang Yuru sweetly smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, there is no need to worry. Fellow Daoist Lu is a guest alchemist of the Qingyun Merchant Sect. Even his Dao robe alone is comparable to a high-grade magical treasure. Ordinary independent cultivators, even those at the late stage of Qi Refining, would not be able to do anything to him."

"You two wait here. I'll go up and meet them."

After saying that, Lu Yu activated the formation and walked away for a while.

"Master, don't be reckless!"

Qin Qingrou took off the black fish bull-headed ear pendant and held it in her palm. If the situation changed, she could summon the spirit bull and immediately support Lu Yu.

After a while, three Qi Refining cultivators swiftly approached.

They looked at Lu Yu, who was standing at the edge of the formation, with furrowed brows.

They had paid a hefty fee to disembark, almost bankrupting themselves. At this moment, they not only had no spiritual stones left, but even their magical treasures and pills had been plundered.

They sensed the presence of cultivators nearby and, with two strong and one weak, they thought of coming over to try their luck.

However, the other party did not seem like someone they could easily handle.

Not only did they have a formation set up, but the Dao robe on the other party was also extremely eye-catching.

It was a Dao robe that only guest cultivators of the Qingyun Merchant Sect could be bestowed with.

At this moment, not only was the other party in excellent condition and occupying favorable terrain, but their background also made the three of them extremely wary.

Forget it, let's start by testing the waters. After all, they had a half-person advantage.

"I have seen Fellow Daoist."

"We just happened to pass by and wanted to ask if Fellow Daoist would like to travel together."

Lu Yu saw the flickering gaze of the other party and their ill intentions, so naturally, he couldn't agree.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but my wife and I have never been to Jingguo before and were planning to explore. I'm afraid we are not going the same way."

Lu Yu flipped his palm and took out several bags of Baosheng Pills and around a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, cupping his hands and saying, "These are gifts from me to you. I only hope to establish a good relationship."

The three Qi Refining cultivators smiled when they saw this.

One of them suddenly became greedy, and his triangular eyes shot out beams of light as he continuously scanned Lu Yu.

"Fellow Daoist, do you still have any provisions left? The fee for disembarking earlier..."

He only said half of it before being pulled by the person next to him and fiercely glared at.

The other two interrupted, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist. We just paid the disembarking fee earlier and are short on funds. If we meet Fellow Daoist in the future, we will definitely repay double to show our gratitude."

After saying that, the three cultivators hurriedly ran in the opposite direction.

Lu Yu watched their departing figures and sighed inwardly.

He had wanted to test the power of the twin-headed spirit dragons.
