Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

"Fellow Daoist Lu," Zhong Xintong smiled slightly and gestured for Lu Yu to sit down.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhong Xintong suddenly sighed and said, "Last time, when I invited Fellow Daoist Lu to explore the treasures in the depths of the Holy Spirit Mountain, fortunately Fellow Daoist did not agree."

"If it weren't for the senior brother from the inner sect accompanying me, I'm afraid I would have perished."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's heart trembled. Even the esteemed senior Zhong, who had already reached the Foundation Building stage, faced such life-threatening dangers when exploring the treasures. If he were to go along, he would probably not escape death either.

Indeed, great opportunities come with great dangers.

All decisions must be carefully considered before taking action.

He sighed inwardly.

"Senior Zhong has survived a great calamity, and there must be good fortune awaiting him!" Lu Yu clasped his hands and said.

"I will take Fellow Daoist's auspicious words to heart," Zhong Xintong replied softly.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Xintong said in a gentle voice, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I have something important to tell you this time."

"In a few months, more than half of the disciples in the outer sect of the Holy Spirit Mountain will be withdrawn to the inner sect, and I am also among those who will be leaving. There are still three or four spots available."

"If Fellow Daoist is willing, you can accompany us back to the inner sect for safety."

"There is also a branch of the Qingyun Commercial Gate in the inner sect."

If this senior Zhong had informed Lu Yu half a month earlier, he might have agreed immediately.

However...

Lu Yu regretfully said, "Senior's kindness makes me feel unworthy."

"I have already made arrangements to leave the outer sect by boarding the Qingyun Commercial Gate's cargo fairy ship."

Liu, who was standing by, heard this and looked surprised. He said, "Fellow Daoist Lu already has plans to leave the outer sect?"

Lu Yu nodded slightly and said, "I am a guest alchemist of the Qingyun Commercial Gate, so I naturally have to follow their arrangements."

"I wonder where the Qingyun Commercial Gate will send Fellow Daoist?" Zhong Xintong asked.

"To the Broken Cloud City."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xintong fell silent for a moment. Her eyebrows raised slightly, revealing a complex expression.

A high-level alchemist would be sought after by other forces if they missed the opportunity.

After thinking for a moment, she still smiled generously and said, "Broken Cloud City is the capital of Jingguo, a large city where immortals and mortals coexist. It is very suitable for cultivating friendships, whether in terms of safety or obtaining cultivation resources."

She paused for a moment and smiled again, "Fellow Daoist Lu has made rapid progress in recent years and has gained the attention of the Qingyun Commercial Gate. It should be no problem for you to reach the Foundation Building stage in the future."

"If I have the opportunity, I would like to attend Fellow Daoist's Foundation Building banquet."

In her heart, she still hadn't given up. After all, maintaining a connection with a Foundation Building alchemist was a guaranteed profit.

Thinking back, Lu Yu was only at the third level of Qi Refining not long ago.

In less than ten years, he not only broke through three or four realms but also became a guest alchemist of the Qingyun Commercial Gate.

Such progress surprised Zhong Xintong.

Surely, this Fellow Daoist Lu must have extraordinary abilities.

Lu Yu bowed and smiled, "It is my honor to be appreciated by Senior Zhong. If there is a chance, I will definitely invite Senior!"

Suddenly, a white light flashed on Zhong Xintong's finger.

With a slightly apologetic expression, Zhong Xintong said, "I'm sorry, it's a message from Manager Wang."

She closed her eyes slightly and infiltrated her divine sense into the ring, then opened her eyes after a moment.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, if there is a chance in the future, we will meet again in Broken Cloud City."

"I have to go and take care of some matters for the manager."

Lu Yu stood up respectfully and said, "Senior Zhong, I take my leave."

After leaving the Wanling Tower, Lu Yu saw that he still had plenty of time, so he went to the Qingyun Pill Shop again.

After a brief exchange with Jiang Yuru, he went upstairs.

Because the pill shop was busy, Jiang Yuru didn't accompany him upstairs.

Lu Yu went directly to the quiet room on the third floor where the jade slips were displayed.

As he flipped through the jade slips, he pondered to himself.

Since he became a Qi Refining cultivator at seventy percent and obtained Ling'er's exclusive secret technique, Linghu Infusion, the output of Ling Beast Pills had also increased by nearly one-third.

Of course, that Golden Concubine Plum Fruit had also brought him considerable benefits.

Especially since Qin Qingrou was a cultivator at a similar level to him, their battles had greatly improved in frequency, quality, and soaring to new heights.

This had greatly accelerated his progress as a Spirit Tamer.

The Golden Concubine Plum was a good thing. If he had extra contribution points in the future, he should try to exchange for a few more from the Qingyun Commercial Sect and give them to his other wives and concubines.

Although it would inevitably cost a lot, that fruit seemed to be tailor-made for him and was extremely compatible with him.

Also, his level as a Spirit Tamer had repeatedly broken through, and he would soon reach the eighth rank of the Earth Stage.

He needed to find a spirit beast or a spirit beast's soul artifact. If he had a artifact similar to Qin Qingrou's, his ability to protect himself would undoubtedly reach a new level.

As Lu Yu continued to study various jade slips, he delved deeper into his thoughts.

Although he was not good at fighting with others, the speed at which he accumulated wealth had gradually increased, making it inevitable that he would attract attention.

Moreover, his life was only above his fists, and having someone to rely on or not had a significant impact on his attitude towards life.

He cherished his life, but it was always an unbearable thing for a man to bow his head.

After thinking about it, Lu Yu read several jade slips related to spirit taming for most of the day.

It was only when he felt that the sky was slightly darkening that he went downstairs.

When he reached the second floor, Lu Yu was about to take a step when he caught a glimpse of a charming figure. His footsteps unconsciously changed direction, and he entered a room.

Inside, Jiang Yuru had just taken a seat. She gently fanned her Daoist robe, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her lips were moist and slightly parted as she was about to taste the spiritual tea in her hand.

Just as she was about to raise her cup, Jiang Yuru noticed Lu Yu entering the room. She sweetly smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I thought you had already left."

As she spoke, she skillfully brewed a cup of spiritual tea and invited Lu Yu to take a seat.

Then, she lightly dipped her jade finger into Lu Yu's tea and wrote two characters, smiling, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I have dull aptitude and am not good at production."

"I can only rely on my appearance to find a good man to entrust myself to."

"Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist."

After speaking, she gracefully walked out of the room.

Lu Yu's face darkened slightly, feeling somewhat enlightened.

"A second-rank guest alchemist?"

Lu Yu thought to himself as he drank the spiritual tea and left the Qingyun Pill Shop.

He was currently only a guest alchemist, not even first-rank.

If he wanted to become a second-rank alchemist in the Qingyun Commercial Sect, he would probably have to raise his cultivation to the Foundation Building stage at the very least.

Having had so many dealings with the Qingyun Commercial Sect, Lu Yu had a general understanding of many things within the sect.

Even among second-rank guest alchemists, there would likely be different treatment based on their qualifications and potential.

Although Jiang Yuru's appearance and figure were quite outstanding, and she was the manager of a branch of the Qingyun Commercial Sect, she could only be considered an outsider of the sect.

There was still a considerable gap between her and even ordinary guest alchemists.

If she wanted to advance further on the path of immortality, being limited to the second rank and finding a good man who could support her was not an excessive request.

Lu Yu's face showed a hint of melancholy, understanding her situation but also feeling somewhat displeased.

After thinking for a long time, he wandered around the market and sold the array discs he had originally planned to use in the Tenglong Residence Immortal Mansion at a discounted price.

With the current situation becoming more urgent, he wanted to focus more on being a Spirit Tamer.

Even if it cost a lot, he wanted to have his own spirit beast or a soul artifact of a beast.
