Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Lu Yu quickly followed the crowd and bowed.

At the entrance, a male cultivator in a blue Daoist robe gradually walked in.

This is the Nascent Soul cultivator sent by the Zonglou Sect!

Lu Yu glanced up slightly and saw that after the Nascent Soul cultivator entered the pill shop, his powerful aura quickly subsided. In the blink of an eye, he sat down on the main seat inside the pill shop.

"A treasure has appeared, and the Zonglou specially sent me to investigate and ensure the safety of our branch."

"You don't need to worry or close your businesses. Everything inside the shop should continue as usual."

As soon as the words fell, just as everyone was about to respond, they realized that the main seat was already empty.

After a while, if it weren't for the reminder from others, they would have almost forgotten that the Nascent Soul cultivator sent by the Zonglou had already arrived.

And the appearance of that cultivator had long been forgotten by everyone.

Lu Yu's heart trembled. The Nascent Soul cultivator was so terrifying, not only could he teleport at will, but his every move affected the five senses of the people around him.

However, such Universal Truth techniques made Lu Yu even more yearn for the path of immortality.

...

In the afternoon, Lu Yu returned to Tenglong Residence.

Lu Yu found the entrance to Ruyue Immortal Mansion and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a while without a response, he took out the ring that Ruyue had given him from his storage ring and opened the door to the immortal mansion.

He peeked inside and called out, "Fellow Daoist Ruyue?"

After waiting for a while without anyone answering, Lu Yu extended his divine sense and confirmed that there was no one inside the immortal mansion before entering.

He looked around and saw a jade slip on the table in the hall.

Lu Yu picked up the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense, unable to help but laugh.

"Cowardly alchemist, I'm too lazy to wait for you at the teleportation array every day."

"If you see this jade slip, just put fifty middle-grade spirit stones from Qianben on the table."

"If I come back and find that you haven't returned my spirit stones, I will definitely make you suffer and die in extreme bliss!"

After laughing, Lu Yu placed fifty middle-grade spirit stones on the table and left the immortal mansion.

After taking a few steps, he couldn't help but glance back and suddenly felt a fragrant breeze surrounding his nose.

The image of Ruyue Fellow Daoist, who was somewhat arrogant and unable to control her temper, immediately appeared in his mind.

"Little witch, it's better if we don't meet again in the future."

...

As the moving day approached, Lu Yu became more and more excited.

Even his usual cultivation and refining of spirit beast pills were affected.

He decided to take a few days off to pamper his wives.

From time to time, he would take Ling'er and Wanwan to the market to buy fresh spiritual food.

Of course, these were all short outings. After all, there were more cultivators in the market now, and it wasn't very safe. As for bloody conflicts, he hadn't heard of any happening again.

He encountered Wan Shengming more often when he went out.

That diligent alchemist, Wan Fellow Daoist, had changed his old scholarly appearance and rarely went out with a blackened face.

Every time they met at the teleportation array, he looked spirited and seemed to be enjoying a carefree life.

Since giving up the idea of immortality, Wan Shengming's state of mind had become much more open. Although it was difficult for him to refine high-level spiritual tools, he had no problem making some simple ones to make a living.

He no longer accumulated spirit stones to buy trial and error materials, and his life became more and more comfortable.

He often invited Lu Yu to go to the Longfeng Pavilion to listen to music, but Lu Yu always refused with a smile.

One day, the two met at the teleportation array.

"Wan Fellow Daoist, it's been a few days. You look even younger," Lu Yu greeted with a smile.

"Have the sisters from the Longfeng Pavilion returned?"

Wan Shengming blushed slightly and smiled, "They haven't returned yet. If they do, I also want to enjoy the blessings of being with them."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, since you have nothing to do today, why not come with me to the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion and listen to a song?" Wan Shengming warmly invited.

"I'd rather not." Lu Yu smiled and shook his head. He could sense that although Wan Shengming appeared confident, there was a darkness brewing between his brows.

It seemed that he had already been taken advantage of by the female cultivators of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion and had become their supplier of spiritual stones.

Lu Yu wouldn't easily set foot in the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion given his current situation.

Wan Shengming didn't insist either, but complained a bit, "They say that the treasure is hidden in the seven-story pagoda, accompanied by thunderous formations. Countless Foundation Building cultivators are fighting over it."

"If the Qiao sisters don't come back soon, I won't have enough spiritual stones."

Lu Yu was reminded of Zhong Pengyu, the one who ran the spiritual beast arena. Not only did he lose all his family fortune, but he also ended up being killed by bandit cultivators.

The key was that he had borrowed a lot of spiritual stones from Lu Yu and would never be able to repay them.

If Wan Shengming were to borrow spiritual stones from him in the future, he absolutely couldn't lend them.

"I've also heard a lot about it. It is said that the battles triggered powerful restrictions on the seventh floor of the pagoda."

"Not only were there countless casualties, but they were also trapped inside the pagoda. Their fate is uncertain now."

Lu Yu also discussed a few more things. While talking to Wan Shengming, he consciously tried to get information from him.

After all, the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion was not a small force, and the cultivators inside might have some special information that could be used as a topic of conversation.

Upon hearing this, Wan Shengming nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu's information is similar to what I know."

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Wan, your lease at the Tenglong Residence is up. Where do you plan to move?" Lu Yu asked with a smile.

"To the Xiangyun Village." Wan Shengming sighed softly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's face showed surprise, and he advised, "Fellow Daoist Wan, Xiangyun Village is not like Xianju, and it's not far from the market."

"If something happens in the market, the nearby villages will be the most dangerous."

Wan Shengming bowed and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Lu, but I have considered it for a long time."

"After moving out this time, I plan to find a beautiful wife and stay at home."

"Moreover, it is said that the outer disciples of the Shengling Mountain have gradually begun to maintain order and are no longer as lax as before."

"It is said that in Xiangyun Village, a group of bandit cultivators broke the village's restrictions, and the outer disciples of Shengling Mountain immediately took action and killed them in an instant."

"Their ruthlessness and decisiveness surpass the past!"

After saying that, he mocked, "In the market, they don't care about bloodshed and conflicts, but they immediately take action when something happens in the nearby villages."

"I really don't know where is safe in this world."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu felt the same emotions and sighed softly.

The reaction of the outer disciples of Shengling Mountain to the village restrictions was not to be taken lightly.

But he smiled and suddenly asked, "Why does Shengling Mountain attach so much importance to these village restrictions?"

"Nowadays, most wandering cultivators reside in nearby villages, and Shengling Mountain collects miscellaneous labor taxes from them, so naturally they have to maintain them."

Wan Shengming sneered.

"Perhaps." Lu Yu smiled.

The two of them chatted for a while before Lu Yu took his wives back to the immortal mansion.

After returning home, Lu Yu entered the quiet room and sat cross-legged.

In the past, he had lived in the village and had never paid attention to the restrictions.

Firstly, no one dared to touch the village restrictions. Those who became bandit cultivators either waited for opportunities on the road from the village to the market or ambushed cultivators on their way back to the village.

Secondly, he had always believed that the restrictions represented the prestige and reputation of Shengling Mountain, and bandit cultivators were unwilling to directly confront Shengling Mountain.

But at this moment, the more he thought about it, the more unusual it seemed.

In the market, not only did the twelve sect cultivators trample on the prestige of Shengling Mountain, but they also ignored the rules.

According to reason, they shouldn't have had time to care about it outside the market.

If it was because of the miscellaneous labor taxes, then the cultivators had all abandoned the village and sought residences further away. Over the course of a year, they should have lost a considerable amount of money to offset the taxes, but Shengling Mountain remained inactive.

Moreover, the efficiency of Shengling Mountain in handling ordinary matters seemed to be extremely fast.

There must be an extraordinary reason behind all this.
