Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family
Chapter 28 Blackmail
Lu Yu suppressed his inner joy and took out the materials for the Dali Pill from his storage ring.
The process of refining the Dali Pill was even more difficult than the Beast Spirit Pill. There were even a few times when Lu Yu lost money on the materials.
But because he had a spiritual contract with the Qingyun Pill Shop, if he didn't refine a certain number of Dali Pills, his qualification to rent the Immortal Mansion would probably be revoked.
He focused his gaze on the more complex materials for the Dali Pill, and his spiritual power surged.
In just half a day's work, a hundred fresh Dali Pills were produced.
Lu Yu even had enough energy to pack the Dali Pills.
In the past, every time he refined Dali Pills, he would deplete his spiritual power and let the pills fall.
Unexpectedly, after his spiritual consciousness breakthrough, his level of refining Spirit Beast Pills had improved so much.
Could it be that the advanced spiritual consciousness had such an effect on refining Spirit Beast Pills?
He couldn't even imagine what the state would be like after his spiritual consciousness broke through to the advanced level.
For several consecutive days, Lu Yu, who had broken through his spiritual consciousness, locked himself in the quiet room.
The Immortal Mansion was filled with rich spiritual energy, and as a result, his efficiency in gathering spiritual energy also increased.
According to this calculation, he might even make a small profit from renting the Immortal Mansion.
Every day, he could clearly feel the sound of spiritual stones falling into his bag. This feeling made Lu Yu extremely excited.
In the past, after depleting his spiritual power, he would wait for natural gathering to replenish his spiritual power.
But now, he really wanted to deplete his spiritual power and then absorb the surrounding spiritual energy through the practice of his techniques.
However, he understood that if he meditated and practiced his techniques, the speed of gathering spiritual energy would be much higher than natural gathering.
But if he neglected the dual cultivation with his wives because of this, it would be a bit of a misplacement of priorities.
He knew that he was able to achieve his current situation entirely because of the dual cultivation with his wives day and night.
Leaving the quiet room, he walked into the small hall.
In the hall, Ling'er and Wanwan were busy at the stove.
Now that his spiritual consciousness, the environment, and the surrounding spiritual energy were gradually improving, it was time for him to plan his life properly.
It was not enough to just focus on dual cultivation and refining Spirit Beast Pills. He also needed to pay attention to the improvement of his own cultivation level.
Otherwise, in case of an accident, he would only become a walking fat sheep, waiting to be slaughtered by others.
Moreover, excessive dual cultivation would also burden Ling'er and Wanwan.
It would be best to arrange six hours of dual cultivation time every night and morning, and consume the gathered spiritual energy through refining Spirit Beast Pills during the dual cultivation.
If the refining speed was too fast, he could meditate and practice for an hour at noon to replenish his energy.
Whether he worked hard in dual cultivation or not would determine what level he could reach on the Immortal Path and whether he could achieve immortality.
So, he would rather use only one hour of gathering spiritual energy to deal with the situation of depleting his spiritual power, rather than shorten the dual cultivation time too much.
When his wives finished cooking and were about to call Lu Yu from the quiet room, they found that he had been standing in front of the door for a long time.
"Husband, what's wrong? Are you tired from refining Spirit Beast Pills?" Wanwan suddenly spoke up.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "No, I'm fine. Let's eat."
Seeing that he hadn't touched his chopsticks, Ling'er and Wanwan sat down and stared at him.
"Why are you two staring at me? Is there something on my face?"
"Husband, I've used up all the spiritual stones I used to buy food." Wanwan suddenly spoke up.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "I see. I did consume quite a bit these past few days."
"It's okay, let's use these one hundred low-grade spirit stones for now."
One low-grade spirit stone can sustain food consumption for about half a day, so these one hundred low-grade spirit stones should be enough for a month's expenses.
However, after ten more days, Wan Wan asked Lu Yu for spirit stones again.
Lu Yu gave her the spirit stones, then followed behind her when Ling Er and Wan Wan went out.
The two women went out of the teleportation array and headed west towards the market. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the place to buy spirit food.
But before they entered the shop, several old-fashioned cultivators in Daoist robes approached the two women, with a hostile attitude, reaching out to demand spirit stones.
Wan Wan's face was filled with anger, but she had no choice but to hastily leave behind a few spirit stones and leave.
Lu Yu witnessed everything.
He never expected that his wives would be extorted while out on the streets.
Presumably, after the first time, they developed a taste for it and started watching outside the teleportation array every day.
His wives, one mortal and one just beginning Qi Refining, used to live in the village where Lu Yu would often ask Qin Qingrou to accompany them when they went out.
But now that they had recently moved to the immortal residence, he became obsessed with refining spirit beast pills and spent less time with his wives, while they were being extorted outside.
However, he didn't want to get into a dispute with those cultivators.
These people had fierce and evil expressions, and were probably the kind of petty criminals who had dabbled in banditry.
Killing was prohibited in the market, but the punishment for fighting was not severe.
Moreover, if he were to confront these extortionist cultivators head-on, even with Qin Qingrou, they would still be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
After much consideration, he turned and returned to the immortal residence.
During dinner that evening, he looked at his unhappy wives and spoke with a serious expression:
"Wan Wan, Ling Er, next time you go out to buy snacks, don't worry about disturbing me while I'm refining spirit beast pills. I will accompany you."
"Also, let's try to minimize the number of times we go out."
"Husband, I'm sorry, it's all Wan Wan's fault."
Wan Wan's face darkened, suspecting that Lu Yu had learned about their extortion.
Ling Er quickly nodded and said, "It was my decision not to let Wan Wan tell you. If you want to punish someone, punish me."
Lu Yu smiled gently and said, "I don't blame you, but I didn't expect to have such troubles even after moving to the immortal residence. I was still thinking of letting you go out every day to buy fresh spirit food."
"It's also my fault for getting obsessed with refining spirit beast pills and neglecting both of you. If I had noticed earlier, you wouldn't have suffered such grievances."
For more than half of each month, Qin Qingrou would still be cultivating in the immortal mansion. If she were there, she would accompany Ling Er and Wan Wan to buy fresh spirit food, and there would naturally be no extortion from cultivators.
But it seemed that Qin Qingrou had come back a little late this month.
"Husband, we are not suffering. In the future, we will go out less and wait for Sister Qin to come back and ask her to take us to buy fresh spirit food."
Now that their husband had made a request, they didn't want to give up so easily.
They knew that their current peaceful life was hard-won, and they didn't want to complicate things.
Lu Yu said, "I understand, but we shouldn't trouble others too much."
The two women obediently nodded, but they also recognized all the extortionist cultivators.
Every time they passed through the teleportation array and saw familiar faces, they would immediately teleport back to the immortal residence, venting their anger at those cultivators who were waiting to extort them.
Another week passed.
Qin Qingrou returned from deep within the Holy Spirit Mountain, looking exhausted.
This relieved Lu Yu and the other two.
After freshening up a bit, Qin Qingrou knocked on Lu Yu's door.
