Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family
Chapter 15 Sister Is Injured
It has been over two months.
Lu Yu left the house with a full load of storage rings and went to the market with Qin Qingrou.
Today, they could replenish some money to offset the expenses of the Holy Spirit Mountain.
When they reached a secluded place, Qin Qingrou suddenly tightened her expression and pulled Lu Yu's arm, walking quickly forward.
Lu Yu immediately became nervous as well.
It wasn't until they were far enough to see the market that Qin Qingrou let go of Lu Yu.
A figure flashed behind them.
After walking a few more steps, Qin Qingrou let out a long sigh and said, "We were being followed just now, probably by a Foundation Building cultivator."
Lu Yu's heart trembled upon hearing this. Even Foundation Building cultivators were now acting as bandits. If it weren't for Qin Qingrou being there, he would have probably died just now.
The two fell silent for a moment and then parted ways in front of the Wanling Tower as usual.
Before leaving, Qin Qingrou said, "After you finish your business, you can wait for me at the exit of the market."
Lu Yu's heart warmed upon hearing this and he nodded.
It seemed that the Longfeng Pavilion had extended its reach to the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain. It would truly be restless in the future.
A cultivator addicted to evil, even someone like Lu Yu at the second level of Qi Refining wouldn't be considered insignificant.
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Yu sighed and walked into the Wanling Tower.
This time, he didn't sell all the Beast Spirit Pills to Liu the shopkeeper. He secretly kept a small portion for himself.
Even so, he immediately gained six middle-grade spirit stones.
Liu the shopkeeper's enthusiasm didn't wane. After receiving the Beast Spirit Pills, he also prepared materials and spiritual fruits and meat for Lu Yu.
Seeing that there were a lot more Beast Spirit Pills, Liu the shopkeeper praised, "Fellow Daoist Lu, your pill refining skills have improved again."
"The quality and color of these Beast Spirit Pills are all top-notch."
Lu Yu smiled and said, "It took countless materials to refine them. Some with slightly lower quality were taken by fellow cultivators from the same village."
After saying that, he turned and left. Only by showing off a little and creating some smoke bombs that others would rush to buy could he gain Liu the shopkeeper's attention.
Although he was already well-treated by Liu, if he wanted to take the next step, he had to be a little bolder.
And use some more tricks.
Upon hearing this, Liu the shopkeeper looked at Lu Yu's departing figure and revealed a thoughtful expression, carefully pondering the details in Lu Yu's words.
Not long after Lu Yu left the Wanling Tower, a servant boy ran up the mountain and even gave him three jade slips.
He placed the jade slips in his palm and immediately understood that besides two jade slips containing the insights of the experts from the Longfeng Pavilion, there was also a voice transmission jade slip from Liu the shopkeeper.
Lu Yu smiled knowingly. From now on, he would be able to know about any movements in the market for the first time.
After walking for a while, he originally planned to wait for Qin Qingrou at the entrance of the market. However, he remembered her instructions to wait for her to go back together, so he had the idea of strolling around the market.
The market was neither big nor small. It was larger than scattered villages but smaller than the core markets of major sects.
Lu Yu gently touched the storage ring, thinking about his wealth of over thirty middle-grade spirit stones, and headed towards a shop specializing in alchemy.
Although this market was not as big as the true core markets of sects, it happened to be a market day, and there were also cultivators coming and going on the streets.
Even though the crowd was dense, there was still a sense of camaraderie.
After walking for about ten breaths, they finally saw a well-established shop.
This shop was called Qingyun Pill Shop, which probably had the meaning of ascending to the ninth heaven of Qingyun.
The cultivators who just entered and exited the shops in front of the store were all powerful cultivators, presumably high-level cultivators.
Lu Yu rarely set foot in this place. In the past, he could barely make ends meet and was worried about encountering trouble on the road. He didn't have the leisure to wander around and only thought about coming and going early.
He took a few steps and entered the pill shop, where a pill attendant dressed in Tai Chi attire greeted him.
"Fellow Daoist, what do you need?" The pill attendant's face was respectful, but his tone was somewhat casual, probably because he could sense that Lu Yu was old but had a low cultivation level.
Lu Yu didn't mind and casually asked, "Do you sell detoxification pills for the six-eyed venomous insects here?"
The pill attendant nodded and said, "Of course we do, they are priced at thirty-four medium-grade spirit stones, but we are currently out of stock."
The six-eyed venomous insects could produce silk that could be used to make high-level Dao robes, so they were considered one of the commonly cultivated poisonous insects by cultivators. Therefore, the pill shop always kept detoxification pills in stock. However, the stock was not abundant.
The pill attendant frowned slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist can leave a deposit, and if the detoxification pills arrive next month, I can reserve them for you."
Lu Yu shook his head when he heard this. He might not be able to earn enough spirit stones to buy the detoxification pills next month, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a cultivator wearing a light blue Dao robe approaching him. There was a lifelike dragon head embroidered on his chest.
Lu Yu quickly stepped aside and thought to himself, "This person not only exudes spiritual pressure all over his body, but he is also an outer disciple of the Holy Spirit Mountain."
It seemed that this person's talent should be quite high. Although the treatment of outer disciples of the Holy Spirit Mountain was not as good as that of inner disciples, it was still much better than that of servants or wandering cultivators like him.
Therefore, it would be quite troublesome if he accidentally bumped into him just now.
Lu Yu moved aside and carefully walked out of the pill shop.
After walking for a while, he returned to the Wanling Tower and asked the shopkeeper Liu about the price of the detoxification pills for the six-eyed venomous insects. As expected, the price had increased, and they were also out of stock.
It seemed that the prices of goods in different shops were slightly different.
After leaving the Wanling Tower, he walked towards the exit of the market and soon met Qin Qingrou. The two of them returned home together.
On the way, Qin Qingrou brought up the topic of living together again, but Lu Yu politely declined. She teased Lu Yu for a while but didn't take any action.
Back at home, as the sky grew dark, Lu Yu naturally began his nighttime cultivation of spiritual roots and divine consciousness.
After studying the two new jade slips given to him by the shopkeeper Chen, Lu Yu's dual cultivation technique made great progress, to the point where even Wenzhen couldn't resist him.
Both women begged for mercy, and only then did Lu Yu stop.
Just as he was about to lie down, he heard a loud noise from the side room. Lu Yu quickly warned the two women to keep their pleas for mercy quieter so as not to disturb Qin Qingrou, who lived alone.
Earning spirit stones by refining spirit beast pills, cultivating spiritual roots and divine consciousness every night, the days passed like this.
However, after more than a month, one day...
Lu Yu got up in the middle of the night and met Qin Qingrou, who had just returned. He saw that she was stumbling and had a trace of crimson on the corner of her mouth. Even her Dao robe was heavily damaged.
Large patches of white color were exposed from the damaged Dao robe, which was very eye-catching. Lu Yu was almost dumbfounded.
It wasn't until Qin Qingrou walked closer with an angry and embarrassed expression that he snapped out of his daze and awkwardly asked, "Qin sister, how did you get injured?"
Qin Qingrou replied angrily, "I have to support myself, unlike you who refine spirit beast pills every day, with your wives and concubines, reveling every night."
Lu Yu was rendered speechless by her teasing, and Qin Qingrou didn't stay any longer. She walked past him and slammed the door loudly when she entered the side room.
Only then did he remember that Qin Qingrou had moved closer to him, and the big black cow was nowhere to be found. It was probably lost along with her identity as an outer disciple of the Holy Spirit Mountain.
Without the monthly stipend of an outer disciple, she really had to rely on herself more. However, Lu Yu didn't know what she was doing for a living, and she had actually been injured.
Lu Yu thought about it and became somewhat worried.
Especially now that the surroundings of the Holy Spirit Mountain were no longer safe, more and more cultivators were attracted by the outbreak of fierce beasts.
But after the outbreak ended, these cultivators lost their livelihoods, which was also an extremely unstable factor.
It seemed that the situation was becoming somewhat unstable.
