Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Lu Yu had previously mocked the cultivators protesting at the administrative office of the Holy Spirit Mountain, but little did he know that fortunes can change. It was about to be his turn soon. Moreover, the last sentence from Jiang Yuru made him even more alarmed.

Although this place was on the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain, there were still many disciples coming and going. It should have been quite safe, and every once in a while, there were Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to patrol. If there was something that could affect the safety of the market, it must be a big deal.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yu headed straight to the Waning Spirit Tower. As soon as he saw Liu, the shopkeeper, he quickly bowed and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, thank you very much."

"If there is any news about the drop in prices, please inform me."

Liu, the shopkeeper, looked at the bags of spirit beast pills with spiritual energy and a pleasing expression appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, your stockpile has truly opened my eyes."

"If there is no news in the future, I will have to fabricate some news to deceive your inventory."

"Don't worry, if there is any news, I will definitely notify you first."

...

After returning to his residence in the Tenglong Immortal Mansion, Lu Yu suddenly had a sense of foreboding. As a cultivator with little experience in battles, he was most afraid of turbulent times. Once he lost the protection of the market, the part-time bandit cultivators would definitely target him as their first priority. He didn't even need to encounter bandit cultivators; even the Fellow Daoists who used the same teleportation array could easily take advantage of him if they had malicious intentions. Especially the sisters from the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion. Although each immortal mansion had its own restrictions, they were only used for alarm purposes. In terms of defensive power, they were probably not even as good as a low-grade magical tool. He regretted not being cautious and prepared for the future.

Lu Yu took stock of the items in his storage ring, all of which were medium-grade magical tools, such as protective spirit rings that could withstand attacks from higher-level cultivators, and the Qiankun Shield.

Of course, he also had the Chain Lock Divine Eagle Claws and the Prison Immortal Net, which were mainly used for playing. Looking at these magical tools, he felt much more at ease.

These four magical tools were bought by Lu Yu at a low price during the previous fluctuation in prices. Unfortunately, the prices of high-quality magical tools were too expensive. Otherwise, even if he could barely afford them, he would still grit his teeth and buy them.

Now it seems that he not only needs to purchase high-quality magical tools, but also some rechargeable defensive magical tools, such as the Immortal Mansion Formation Disk. As long as he sets up a formation within the prohibition for alarm purposes, he might be able to wait for the rescue from the Holy Spirit Mountain.

As for offensive magical tools, he thought it over and decided against it. With his cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining, as long as he can prevent attackers from easily killing him, that would be a victory.

In addition, he should also prepare some disposable defensive talismans.

At night, Ling'er and Wanwan clearly felt that their husband's offensive power was slightly weaker. When the three of them took a break, Wanwan asked.

After casually giving a reason, Lu Yu softly comforted, "I'm fine."

Ling'er was an ordinary person, and Wanwan had just reached the first level of Qi Refining. If he were to tell them about the turmoil, they would be helpless and it might even reduce Wanwan's happiness index.

Lu Yu glanced at the door and secretly thought that he could only hope for Qin Sister to return soon so they could discuss it.

The next day, he entered the Wanling Tower and explained to the shopkeeper Liu. With his recommendation, he purchased many defensive formation disks and rechargeable magical tools. He also sold one of the only two offensive magical tools he had. Although the prices had not yet fallen, there would still be risks if he waited until then to purchase these items.

"Qinglong Flame Moon Formation, Twin Dragons Entwining Formation..." Lu Yu counted them briefly. With so many formation disks available, he felt a little more at ease. Although he had never fought against others using formations, these formation disks were not only valuable, but also required a considerable amount of spiritual energy to be replenished daily. Even if they couldn't withstand Foundation Building cultivators, it shouldn't be a problem to withstand Qi Refining cultivators. At the very least, buying some time would be good.

After buying the Defense Formation Plate, he also purchased the materials for making Spirit Beast Pills.

For him, refining Spirit Beast Pills was the fundamental way to earn Spirit Stones. Even if the sky were to collapse, he couldn't stop.

For the next half month, Lu Yu immersed himself in refining Spirit Beast Pills.

To him, the Spirit Stones in his hand had become a hot potato, and it was most practical to use them for security.

While refining Spirit Beast Pills, he calculated when Qin Qingmo would return.

However, news from Liu the shopkeeper arrived first.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, there is news about the problem within the Holy Spirit Mountain Sect."

"The rumor is that the youngest son of the Holy Spirit Mountain Patriarch stole his brother's wife, and the two brothers are causing a commotion."

"It is said that the youngest son of the Holy Spirit Mountain Patriarch has brought his sister-in-law here."

"They say he is preparing to establish a Holy Beast Sect."

Upon hearing the message from Liu the shopkeeper, Lu Yu was shocked and couldn't help but complain.

Who is spreading these rumors? They must be tired of living to discuss the family affairs of the Holy Spirit Mountain Patriarch.

If the originator of the rumors is discovered, they will likely be punished severely.

But Liu the shopkeeper then sent another message, saying that the youngest son of the Patriarch had started inviting other scattered immortals to join the sect outside of Holy Spirit Mountain.

It is said that even cultivators from other sects have joined.

The last message from Liu the shopkeeper was: "Fellow Daoist Lu, the news is almost confirmed now. The youngest son of the Patriarch has even shown off a very beautiful female cultivator at the General Affairs Office."

"Even the Holy Spirit Mountain Patriarch, who was originally in seclusion, has come out. It's going to be lively."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu rolled his eyes. It's like immortals fighting, and ants suffer.

But this news really shocked him.

After all, cultivators all seek immortality. Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, they would not marry or have concubines and delay their path to immortality.

Moreover, the Patriarch's son should be a hundred-year-old Foundation Establishment cultivator. How could such a person be moved by beauty?

It's really too sensational.

And it seems that the Patriarch's son and his sister-in-law are willing participants in this affair. It would be almost impossible to catch them for adultery unless the Patriarch personally exposed them.

Lu Yu then asked Liu the shopkeeper about the drop in the price of Spirit Beast Pills.

After a long pause, Liu the shopkeeper replied, "I don't know either. The forces planning to settle outside of Holy Spirit Mountain are complicated."

"The prices are fluctuating constantly, but overall, they have dropped by about twenty percent in the past few days."

"If the Patriarch shows his power and sends someone to deal with his youngest son, there will be a big battle. I'll have to pack up and run away. Who would care about prices and business then?"

"I advise Fellow Daoist Lu to make preparations early."

Holy Spirit Mountain has always been dominant and does not allow others to settle there.

Even the Qingyun Pill Shop had to pay a great price to open a store in the market.

Now that the Patriarch's son wants to recruit outside forces, one can imagine the Patriarch's attitude.

The prices in the market within the sect have already decreased, indicating that Holy Spirit Mountain is preparing for a confrontation with outsiders.

This situation can be said to be extremely unfavorable.

There are fierce beasts rampant within Holy Spirit Mountain, which is both dangerous and an opportunity.

Now that the situation with the fierce beasts is under control, it has become a resource-rich land like a mine. It is hard to believe that the outside forces settling around Holy Spirit Mountain won't have any intentions of taking a share.

No wonder Jiang Yuru advised me to stay inside and not go out.

When other outside forces' cultivators settle in the market, there will definitely be many variables and opportunistic individuals.

The more Lu Yu thought about it, the heavier his mood became.

As a Qi Refining fifth level scattered cultivator, he could only rely on refining Spirit Beast Pills to make a living.

Faced with such earth-shattering changes, there was nothing he could do. The only thing he could do was to live cautiously and not go out.

However, the future situation in the market is still unclear, and everything has the potential to turn around.

Relying on dual cultivation to improve is Lu Yu's foundation. Moreover, he has become increasingly eager to take concubines.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later.

If it's not possible, he will send someone to Xiangchun Garden with a message.

No, it's better to go there personally while the situation is still stable. It's better to go quickly and return quickly.

With that in mind, Lu Yu got up and walked out of his immortal mansion.
