Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

The two sisters from the Qiao family heard this and immediately responded with a hint of anger in their voices: "Even if the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion is in decline, it is still much stronger than you wandering cultivators, Fellow Daoist Wan."

"It won't be long before foreign alchemists will crush you wandering cultivators. Let's see how you can compete with a group of sect alchemists!"

Wan Shengming replied without any annoyance, and even said with a slight smile, "I am nameless and a lone wandering cultivator. How dare I compete with a sect? But as long as I work hard, I won't worry about earning some hard-earned money."

"If the two Fellow Daoists from the Qiao family want to earn some hard-earned money, you can't possibly go around shouting on the streets, right? Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, the two siblings from the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion immediately cursed with a string of vulgar words.

On ordinary days, they wouldn't care about such teasing, and would even joke around and invite Fellow Daoist Wan to visit more often.

But today, the two women seemed to be in a bad mood, and Wan Shengming's words had thrown their minds into chaos.

Moreover, what Wan Shengming said was not unfounded.

Since the witch sect opened a shrine in the market and started a business, the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion's business has plummeted.

Even they, as first-class female cultivators, had to go out on the streets to attract customers.

With the decline of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, they naturally suffered as well.

They even started lowering their prices by three or four times, and even for business worth only a few dozen low-grade spirit stones, they had to greet customers with a smile.

Their current treatment was completely different from before.

After all, among the cultivators in the market, there were many who intentionally suppressed their own cultivation level, and even female cultivators disguised as men.

If they were entangled with such cultivators for a moment, even getting slapped a few times would be a small matter. They were afraid of bloodshed on the streets.

"If worse comes to worst, we can move to the inner sect. The money we earn, isn't it hard-earned as well?"

After speaking, the sound of a fairy mansion stone door closing heavily echoed.

Gradually, other fairy mansions also greeted familiar Fellow Daoists and started discussing, but no one showed up, and the scene became somewhat awkward.

Lu Yu closed the door of the fairy mansion and sat in the small hall, lost in thought for a moment.

Now that many external cultivators have entered the market, the impact is not just a matter of order.

It has affected all aspects.

Cultivators from the Yue Kingdom, practitioners from the Witchcraft Sect...

Although most alchemists are still concentrated in the Holy Spirit Mountain, other sects also raise spirit beasts, so there are naturally some alchemists among them.

In the future, the price of spirit beast pills in the market will probably be further suppressed.

His current wealth was accumulated through the production of spirit beast pills. If he could only earn some hard-earned money, wouldn't life become even more difficult?

It seems that when he goes out tomorrow, he should also inquire at the Qingyun Pill Shop.

See if he can get a more secure treatment and guarantee.

The next day, Lu Yu went out and walked on the streets of the market.

Suddenly, his footsteps paused as he noticed that the surrounding cultivators were all in a hurry.

The entire street was slightly chaotic.

Someone shouted, "The cultivators from the Yue Kingdom are coming to the streets!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Figures flashed by, and the street instantly became deserted.

The cultivators who were still on the road hurriedly took refuge in the nearby shops.

Lu Yu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly blended into a nearby shop.

It wasn't until a group of cultivators in dark blue robes, who seemed carefree, walked past that Lu Yu tugged at the robe of a nearby cultivator and asked,

"Fellow Daoist, what's going on?"

The cultivator glanced at him, about to leave, but was moved by a few low-grade spirit stones from Lu Yu.

He stopped and glanced in the direction where the cultivators from the Yue Kingdom had left, then sighed and said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist, you don't often come to the market, do you?"

"Nowadays, the forces of various sects in the market are mixed, and it's no longer just the Holy Spirit Mountain dominating."

"And these cultivators from the Yue Kingdom are all disciples of the Yue Ling Sect. They act arrogantly and domineeringly in the market, and some of the leading cultivators in charge are even capricious."

"A few days ago, it was said that the Yue Ling Sect cultivators were eating at a restaurant and found the food there to be unsatisfactory. Not only did they set the place on fire, but they also killed more than ten cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's face showed an expression of disbelief.

He asked in response, "Just because they didn't like the food? And they killed more than ten cultivators?"

The cultivator nodded and sighed, "We can only blame the arrogant attitude of the restaurant's spiritual chef. He refused to admit that the taste of his cooking could be bad."

"It is said that the one who set the restaurant on fire and killed people is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Yue Ling Sect. He is young and not only possesses exceptional beauty and talent, but also has a special spiritual root. He is a direct blood relative of the Nascent Soul stage elder of the Yue Ling Sect."

Lu Yu questioned again, "What about the people from the Holy Spirit Mountain? Haven't they come out to intervene?"

This is the market outside the Holy Spirit Mountain.

Setting a restaurant on fire and killing more than ten people is almost like trampling on the face of the Holy Spirit Mountain and acting recklessly.

The cultivator frowned and said, "They apologized."

Lu Yu was speechless.

Now he understood why everyone fled from the streets when the Yue Kingdom cultivators arrived. It was wise to seek refuge in the shops when faced with such violent behavior over a simple matter of food not meeting their taste.

In this situation, it was not cowardice to flee, but wisdom.

"Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist."

After saying that, Lu Yu hurriedly went in the opposite direction of the Yue Ling Sect cultivators.

If the market became so dangerous in the future, he would rather stay in his immortal residence and not go out anymore.

It may be a bit cowardly, but at least he would still be alive.

Moreover, if there was news of a new market opening, he could move there.

Now it seems that although only the Yue Ling Sect cultivators are acting arrogantly, who can guarantee that the other thirteen sects won't follow suit in the future?

The scattering of people's hearts in the entire market in the future is inevitable.

It wasn't until he entered the Qingyun Pill Shop that Lu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Qingyun Pill Shop had some background with the Holy Spirit Mountain, it was independent of it.

It was said that not only were there markets outside the Holy Spirit Mountain, but even the inner sect and other sects also had pill shops.

The strength and background of the Qingyun Pill Shop were not something that other sects could easily provoke.

When Jiang Yuru saw Lu Yu, she smiled and said, "Welcome, Fellow Daoist Lu. It's been a few days, and I didn't expect you to have new goods again?"

Lu Yu waved his hand repeatedly and smiled bitterly, "Jiang Fellow Daoist, you overestimate me."

"I'm not here to sell Spirit Beast Pills today. I want to ask if your shop has any safer benefits for alchemists?"

"The market is turbulent, and I can't sleep at night!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuru immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Of course we do."

She waved her hand and invited Lu Yu into the backyard of the pill shop.

After pushing open a room and asking Lu Yu to sit down, Jiang Yuru strolled around and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Lu, actually, even if you didn't mention it, I wanted to inquire about it with you."

"For alchemists, pill refiners, and pill masters, they are all our cooperative partners. We also operate other shops such as Qingyun Tools and Qingyun Fine Goods elsewhere."

"If you want to improve your treatment, you can consider the following three types of contracts."

"The first is to increase the trading volume on the original contract, and we will also increase the price accordingly."

"The second is to increase the difficulty on the original contract."

"The third is to change the contract and become a guest alchemist at our Qingyun Pill Shop."

Lu Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "How much difficulty will be increased in the second type of cooperation?"

Jiang Yuru poured some spiritual tea for Lu Yu and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, you haven't reached the Foundation Building stage yet, so I'm afraid the second method won't work."

"What about the third one?" Lu Yu asked.

"Becoming a guest alchemist means you can leave the market outside the Holy Spirit Mountain under our escort and go to a safer place."

"Of course, before reaching the Foundation Building stage, you will need to pledge your life token, and we will do our best to help you reach the Foundation Building stage..."
