Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Among the cultivators surrounding the stone pillar exhibition platform, one person spoke up, "Fellow Daoist, how can I exchange for this ten-thousand-year tea core?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu had no more doubts and quickly approached.

He approached and heard the cultivator exhibiting the ten-thousand-year tea core say, "I would like to exchange for a high-grade defensive spiritual weapon, or I am willing to sell it for thousands of medium-grade spiritual stones."

Considering the current drop in prices, it would definitely be more cost-effective to exchange for a high-grade spiritual weapon.

However, Lu Yu only had about five hundred medium-grade spiritual stones and a few medium-grade spiritual weapons.

And these five hundred spiritual stones were saved for purchasing the Blue Fluorescent Transmutation Pill.

After hesitating for a moment, he tried asking, "Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to exchange for two or three medium-grade defensive spiritual weapons?"

The cultivator shook his head and then turned his gaze elsewhere.

Lu Yu's heart stirred slightly, it seemed that the other party had a clear goal and was not interested in his proposal.

But looking at the other cultivators, although their eyes were eager, it seemed that they couldn't afford the price.

For a moment, everyone was caught in a dilemma.

After waiting so long for the ten-thousand-year tea core, Lu Yu naturally wouldn't easily give up.

He negotiated with the cultivator using three medium-grade spiritual weapons and over a hundred medium-grade spiritual stones.

But the cultivator showed little interest.

Nowadays, it was almost impossible to get rich by relying on Spirit Beast Pills. The prices of items were falling, and even the basic cost of refining was likely to be reduced.

Moreover, Lu Yu had no idea how long the turmoil in the market would last. It involved the struggles of several major sects.

Furthermore, Qin Qingrou couldn't control herself last time and vomited black blood in front of him.

Her cultivation level had also dropped repeatedly, and it was likely that the poison would become more severe as time went on, with no cure.

Therefore, even if Lu Yu had to bleed heavily today, he would still buy the ten-thousand-year tea core.

The cultivators around the stone pillar exhibition platform took a few glances at the ten-thousand-year tea core and quietly negotiated with the cultivator exhibiting it.

But without a doubt, they all returned empty-handed.

Immediately, the cultivators who didn't have to rely on the ten-thousand-year tea core to save their lives scattered and went to other exhibition platforms.

Lu Yu didn't leave, but he didn't stand too close either. He only approached when the exchange meeting was nearing its end.

The cultivator who had just made the transaction with Lu Yu smiled and said, "This time, you've come to the right place. The finale of Qingyun Pill Shop's good items is about to appear."

Lu Yu nodded in response. He had been to the exchange meeting many times and naturally knew about this.

He saw that among the finale items, there were two jade slips, and he guessed that one of them must be a Foundation Building cultivation technique.

After the dan servants of Qingyun Pill Shop displayed five or six items in succession, one of them was indeed a Foundation Building cultivation technique. Then, the dan servants stated the exchange or purchase conditions one by one.

After listening for a while, Lu Yu left the exchange meeting.

After leaving Qingyun Pill Shop, he breathed a sigh of relief only after he arrived at the Wanyuan Courtyard.

He finally managed to buy something that could cure the bee poison.

He was planning to go to Xiangchun Garden. The agreed-upon date was approaching, and that old lady should give him an explanation.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked back to the market street, he heard a commotion at the corner of the street.

Lu Yu looked from afar and saw several cultivators dressed in dark blue Dao robes surrounding a ragged cultivator, beating and kicking him.

After watching for a moment, he was about to take a detour, but two cultivators who were walking together happened to pass by him and whispered to each other.

"These Yueguo cultivators are too arrogant!"

"Yeah, they clearly don't regard the Holy Spirit Mountain as anything and are willfully breaking the rules."

"They didn't have this attitude when they came yesterday."

"That group of cultivators who arrived yesterday were very unruly at night. It is said that the cultivators from Yue Country are the largest group of reinforcements this time."

"The leader of the cultivators from Yue Country is also the Nascent Soul Ancestor. Even if the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Holy Spirit Mountain personally comes, I'm afraid they would have to show some deference."

Lu Yu was shocked to hear this. The cultivators from Yue Country were indeed powerful. If they really came to assist, even the internal sect of the Holy Spirit Mountain would be greatly troubled.

He shook his head and walked away.

Just as Lu Yu arrived at Xiangchun Garden, he saw the old lady.

"Sir Immortal, everything has been arranged. Just wait a few more days."

"Destroy me, it's just a matter of a finger. How could I dare to deceive you? Isn't that right?"

"When the person arrives, I will go to Wanling Tower in Xianfang first and leave a message with the shopkeeper."

Lu Yu nodded at the words. "I'm not rushing you, but the prices in the market are falling. If we wait a little longer, I'm afraid the price will change."

The old lady smiled apologetically and said firmly, "Sir Immortal, I may raise the prices for others, but I would never dare to raise the price for you."

"Just keep that in mind."

"But I have someone above me. If they give the order, I..."

Lu Yu frowned and said, "Then why don't you return the Spirit Beast Pill to me? I'll consider it again."

The old lady's face changed at the words. Would she let this profitable deal slip away?

"Sir Immortal, it was you who arranged for the Immortal Lady this time. If you suddenly change your mind, how can I explain it to the higher-ups?"

"And, the person you want is special. They will definitely bring you special blessings in the future. You should think it over."

After returning last time, Lu Yu thought about it and felt that the old lady was being evasive and not sincere in her words.

If female cultivators with special spiritual roots were to be retaliated against by the Nascent Soul Ancestor or the old monsters, they would surely not dare to touch them.

And those who could be touched probably wouldn't be that special, and might even have innate defects.

Moreover, the price the old lady offered didn't seem too high. This kind of opportunity to pick up a bargain shouldn't fall to him.

And the people behind her, would they take such a risk for this?

"You better honestly explain all the twists and turns here, otherwise, let's just forget about this deal."

Lu Yu's palm trembled, and the wooden table under his palm turned into powder.

Seeing this, the old lady's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly explained, "The Immortal Lady's spiritual roots are indeed not very rare this time, and there are some innate defects."

"But if it's just to serve the Sir Immortal, there shouldn't be a problem."

Lu Yu took a moment to hesitate, then stood up and said, "I'll let it go this time, and the transaction can continue."

"Just don't make me wait too long. If it exceeds the agreed date, this transaction will be canceled!"

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Although he didn't know how much of what the old lady said was true or false, at this point, he could only wait again.

Moreover, if Lu Yu were to find a female cultivator with special spiritual roots himself, it would probably be extremely difficult.

...

Over a month passed.

The foreign cultivators kept provoking, and the Holy Spirit Mountain finally responded.

Not only did they send many outer disciples to patrol the market day and night, they also issued propaganda and notices.

Anyone willing to participate in opening a new market would be granted a five-year lease of the sect's immortal mansion.

And during the process of opening up the new market, those who made contributions would also receive rent fees.

The notices also continuously posted the leading cultivators in opening up the new market, all of whom were Foundation Establishment Elders of the Holy Spirit Mountain, with convincing words to ensure safety.

Numerous notices with generous price tags were continuously posted.

But the effect was minimal.
