Lu Yu was feeling a bit embarrassed by the comments. Just as he was about to say something, Qin Qingrou, who was inside the room, rushed in and closed the door.

From inside the room came her voice, slightly annoyed, "I'm exhausted. I need to rest. Please keep the noise down tonight."

Seeing the closed door, Lu Yu didn't bother knocking again.

Qin Qingrou had just returned from going out and needed some rest.

The next day, the door remained closed.

The third day, the door was still tightly shut.

After waiting for six days, Qin Qingrou finally appeared in the small hall.

This time, she took the initiative to knock on the door of the quiet room and called Lu Yu out.

"Creak!"

The heavy stone door of the quiet room opened, and Lu Yu saw Qin Qingrou sitting at the table in the small hall, eagerly waiting.

She seemed to have just woken up, with her phoenix eyes half-opened. She was wearing a low-cut pink silk robe, her ample chest proudly displayed, and her curvaceous figure behind her. Her pair of fair and slender legs were crossed in front of her.

She was naturally beautiful, and even in this lazy sitting posture, she was enchanting.

"Have you seen enough?" Qin Qingrou said with a smile.

Lu Yu felt embarrassed and sat down at the table.

"This is what I earned from doing odd jobs outside this time, ten medium-grade spirit stones." Qin Qingrou reached into her storage ring and took out the spirit stones, pushing them towards Lu Yu on the table.

Qin Qingrou looked at Lu Yu, who remained motionless, and asked curiously, "Take them, these are what you deserve."

Lu Yu took a deep breath and said what he had thought over for the past few days:

"Sister Qin, I want to take another concubine. I don't know if you would be willing to accommodate."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qingrou was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Little Lu, are you sure you want me to be your secondary concubine?"

"Although your... um... pleading voices from the two sisters at night are indeed tempting, I must admit that I have also been tempted."

"But let's forget about it."

"How about you come into my room, and we can discuss it in detail?"

Lu Yu blushed at Qin Qingrou's words. He didn't know if it was a joke or if she really wanted to discuss it with him.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Then I won't disturb you anymore."

Lu Yu stood up, opened the eavesdropping slit that Ling'er had intentionally left, and walked into the quiet room.

As soon as he closed the door, Ling'er expressed her confusion, "Master, why do I feel that something is not right about this?"

Wanwan furrowed her brows and whispered, "In the past, our sisters and Sister Qin used to joke about it."

"She said that as long as Master took the initiative, she would consider it. Why did she refuse without even thinking today?"

Lu Yu waved his hand to stop the two women from further discussing. He still felt a bit embarrassed, but then he walked into the quiet room.

He pondered for a long time and felt that Ling'er and Wanwan's words made sense.

Qin Qingrou shouldn't have refused so decisively.

And this time, Qin Qingrou's return was different from her usual long rest. She went out again after only a few days.

This made Lu Yu feel a bit strange.

If Qin Qingrou still refuses next time she returns, he might as well go and ask Madam Xiangchun from the Fragrant Spring Courtyard.

...

For the next few months, Lu Yu stayed in the quiet room, refining spirit beast pills.

Apart from cultivating with Ling'er and Wanwan, he hardly went out anymore.

Although this low-key and secluded life was a bit boring, Lu Yu was content with the steady improvement of his spiritual roots and divine consciousness.

With the support of external assistance, he didn't need to venture out and take risks himself.

In the blink of an eye, winter passed, and spring arrived.

Today was the day when the Qingyun Pill Shop held its communication-free gathering.

Lu Yu is hesitating whether to participate or not.

He usually leads a quiet and low-profile life, but with the increasing wealth of spiritual stones in his storage ring, he can probably buy another blue fluorescent auxiliary cultivation pill.

If no cultivators notice, he can still benefit a little.

After much hesitation, he decides to go out.

Just as he is getting ready, Liu the shopkeeper suddenly sends a message.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you have any spirit beast pills, you should sell them as soon as possible!"

"In the near future, the prices in the market are likely to drop even further."

Lu Yu is surprised by the news and quickly replies, "Shopkeeper Liu, can you tell me the reason?"

The price of spirit beast pills is related to his income.

If the prices drop again, his income may decrease by thirty to forty percent, and he may have to reconsider the amount of spiritual food and wine he purchases.

Liu the shopkeeper quickly responds, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I'm not at liberty to disclose the reasons at the moment."

"But I want to remind you that there may be a problem with the inner sect of the Holy Spirit Mountain, and the prices in the inner sect market have already started to fall. In a few days, we will be affected as well."

"So, Fellow Daoist Lu, if you have stockpiled spirit beast pills, it's better to sell them quickly."

A hint of panic flashes across Lu Yu's face. If there is a problem with the Holy Spirit Mountain, it is likely not just a matter of price drops.

The entire periphery of the Holy Spirit Mountain may be affected, or even lose control.

After a long time, Liu the shopkeeper sends another message to reassure him, "The problem with the inner sect may only be temporary, after all, the Holy Spirit Mountain has a Foundation Establishment sect leader and a Nascent Soul ancestor."

Lu Yu feels much more at ease after hearing this and replies with a thank you.

The inheritance of the Holy Spirit Mountain spans thousands of generations and has a long history and profound foundation.

Not only is the ancestor a Nascent Soul cultivator, but there are also many Nascent Soul elders in the sect.

There are rumors that the Holy Spirit Mountain ancestor has long reached the late stage of Nascent Soul cultivation.

Even if there is a problem with the inner sect, Lu Yu believes it can be resolved quickly.

With that in mind, he collects all the materials in his quiet room and stores them in his storage ring, then immediately leaves Tenglong Residence.

Instead of going directly to Wanling Tower, he goes to Qingyun Pill Shop as usual.

When Jiang Yuru sees Lu Yu, she warmly greets him and tries to lead him towards the entrance of the Good Stuff Exchange.

But when she learns that Lu Yu is not here to participate in the Good Stuff Exchange, her face shows surprise.

You see, even if Lu Yu didn't buy anything before, he always participated whenever the Good Stuff Exchange opened.

Why is he acting so differently today?

Lu Yu doesn't notice Jiang Yuru's change in expression and asks in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, is it true that the selling price of Time Spirit Beast Pills will drop significantly?"

Jiang Yuru is now a little unsettled, secretly surprised that Lu Yu is even more well-informed than her.

She just received the message, and as for informing the cultivators who cooperate with the pill shop, she has to wait for another notice. How did Lu Yu find out in advance?

Jiang Yuru nods and whispers, "Fellow Daoist Lu, the drop in prices this time caught many people off guard, even our shop is waiting and watching."

"If Fellow Daoist has accurate information, it's better to sell the spirit beast pills you have stockpiled as soon as possible."

Lu Yu still hesitates in his heart.

It seems that the news of the price drop, although not one hundred percent certain, is highly likely.

He clenches his fist and takes out most of the stockpiled spirit beast pills from his storage ring.

Many of them are covered in spiritual aura.

Jiang Yuru is surprised when she inspects them, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I didn't expect that the ones you stockpiled are all high-quality goods."

Lu Yu just smiles briefly without explaining further.

After receiving the spiritual stones settled by Jiang Yuru, he is about to leave Qingyun Pill Shop but is stopped by Jiang Yuru.

"The market will be turbulent for some time to come, Fellow Daoist should make plans early."

Lu Yu nods in thanks. He knows that Jiang Fellow Daoist is reminding him that the market may not be safe in the future and that he should stay home less.

He leaves Qingyun Pill Shop.

At this moment, Lu Yu still has many doubts in his mind.
