The exchange of cups and the banquet gradually came to an end.

In the second half of the event, Lu Yu could clearly feel the subtle change in the gazes from the cultivators at the table.

Even the innkeeper toasted him.

Senior Yao ate to his heart's content and, after beckoning everyone to leave their seats, approached Lu Yu and handed him a sound transmission jade slip.

"Fellow Daoist Lu's ability to refine high-grade spirit beast pills with Qi Refining cultivation is truly rare."

"I, as a junior with limited talent, will wait until I have a breakthrough before bothering Fellow Daoist."

After leaving the restaurant, the innkeeper also approached Lu Yu with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu's skills are extraordinary."

"I didn't expect you to move to the Lan Ya Mansion so quickly. The annual rent there is said to be 1,500 middle-grade spirit stones."

Lu Yu's expression darkened slightly. He had inadvertently attracted the attention of others.

In the future, he should be more careful and low-key.

However, being appreciated by Senior Yao and the innkeeper should bring many benefits in the future.

Moreover, in the city of Poyun, with its favorable geographical location, it was the perfect opportunity for him to accelerate his cultivation.

During this period, it would be beneficial to slightly reveal his exceptional skills in refining spirit beast pills.

It was only today that he realized the depth of Ye Daotong's connections.

"Innkeeper, it was actually a bit of a stretch for me to choose the Lan Ya Mansion."

"I am already in my fifties, but I am only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. If I don't choose a blessed place, I'm afraid I will never reach Foundation Building in this lifetime."

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper nodded slightly and comforted him with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, there's no need to worry. As a guest alchemist of our Qingyun Commercial Sect, you will receive a 30% discount. As long as you do your best, you will definitely reach Foundation Building."

Lu Yu nodded and clasped his hands. "Thank you for your kind words, Senior Innkeeper."

The two chatted for a while before parting ways.

Watching the innkeeper leave, Lu Yu showed a pensive expression.

Although the innkeeper didn't mention it explicitly, the fact that he could refine high-grade spirit beast pills with Qi Refining cultivation seemed to be a remarkable achievement.

It was even enough to make senior cultivators at the Foundation Building stage take notice.

After thinking for a while and not coming to any conclusions, Lu Yu shook his head and returned to the Lan Ya Mansion.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ling'er tending to the spiritual soil in the small courtyard.

"Husband."

Ling'er put down her gardening tools, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and walked towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu felt a bit distressed and said, "Ling'er, there's no need for you to do this yourself."

"You can let Wanwan help you with the gardening. It will only consume a bit more spiritual energy."

Ling'er smiled faintly and said, "Wanwan is probably cultivating in the quiet room right now. I don't want to disturb her."

Lu Yu nodded and took her soft hand, accompanying her for a walk by the small lake outside the courtyard.

Having met so many people today, Lu Yu's mind was filled with various thoughts. Instead of refining spirit beast pills, he decided to help his wife by tending to the spiritual soil in the flower bed after returning to the courtyard.

He had always wanted to grow some spiritual plants himself, but he didn't have the time to take care of them and there was no spiritual field available, so he had been delayed.

Now that Ling'er was helping him take care of them, he could finally start being a hands-off manager.

Night fell.

In the master bedroom on the third floor.

As lazy starlight poured in, it stirred up pleas for mercy.

With the two women cooperating tacitly, Lu Yu also stopped his movements with a satisfied smile.

Wanwan lay on Lu Yu's body, pouting and saying, "Husband, do you think I didn't notice?"

"You always make me tired and pamper Ling'er sister."

"Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

Ling'er, upon hearing this, tickled Wanwan's soft flesh and said playfully, "What did you say? Say it again?"

"Hahaha, sister, I dare not. I won't dare anymore."

The two women were causing a commotion on Lu Yu's body, while Bailanshan lay quietly beside Lu Yu.

After a while, she felt Lu Yu's fingertips moving again and her delicate body trembled as she said, "My lord, please spare me."

Lu Yu withdrew his hand and awkwardly smiled, saying, "Lanshan, you've endured enough."

He didn't want to repeat the scene of his happiness index dropping.

Unfortunately, the excitement didn't trigger tonight.

It seemed that it wasn't enough for him to have multiple encounters himself; his wives also needed to keep up.

After playing around with his wives for a while, Lu Yu got up and went downstairs into the main hall.

He recalled the hints that had appeared in his mind just now.

His progress in all aspects was not slow, but the required amounts were all too large.

The road to cultivation was a long battle of endurance!

After Ling'er's happiness index reached 200, the improvement in her spiritual root quality after each happiness was also considerable.

At the current rate of improvement in her spiritual root, she would be able to reach a higher level in another five or six years.

As for the contribution of spiritual consciousness from cultivating with Wanzhuo, it had also reached a bottleneck at a higher level.

It seemed that if his cultivation level didn't continue to rise, his spiritual consciousness wouldn't be able to increase either.

But fortunately, his efforts wouldn't be in vain and would accumulate.

As for the wind spiritual root, it was average due to Bailanshan's personality.

But the inherent bonus of the wind spiritual root was not low, so Lu Yu could accept it.

Among all his wives, he and Qin Qingrou had the fastest progress in dual cultivation.

The rank of a Spirit Master was only second to that of a Pill Refiner. Even though he didn't practice the dual cultivation technique of the Twin-Headed Spirit Jiao much, his progress was still rapid.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but think of Ling'er. With his cultivation level improving, not only would he be able to explore more powerful dual cultivation techniques in the future, but his abilities would also greatly increase.

By then, Ling'er would probably find it difficult to resist.

Moreover, as time went by, Ling'er was ultimately just a mortal and would age.

Apart from buying longevity pills, he probably needed to inquire more about how to bring mortals closer to the path of immortality.

At that time, it would be worth spending more spiritual stones.

"I must arrange for twenty years' worth of longevity pills."

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and said firmly.

After that, life entered a somewhat monotonous but still passionate daily routine.

During this period, he often went to the Qingyun Store to buy materials and accompanied his wives on shopping trips...

Time flew by, and a year passed.

The yellow sand outside the Broken Cloud City remained unchanged, but the lakeside in the Lanya Mansion was lush and green.

It was hard to imagine that because of the existence of the formation and prohibition, the inside and outside of the city were like two different worlds.

Lu Yu finished his cultivation in the main hall.

His spiritual power grew stronger every day, only to be emptied again, repeating this cycle.

Although his cultivation was a bit boring, as long as his cultivation level continued to improve, Lu Yu was tireless.

Originally, according to Lu Yu's estimation of his cultivation speed at the Phoenix Dance Residence on the Holy Spirit Mountain, it would take him a few more years to reach the eighth level of Qi Refining.

But with the abundant spiritual energy inside the Broken Cloud City and the miraculous effect of body tempering, his cultivation efficiency had greatly increased.

Even the frequency of refining spirit beast pills had increased a lot.

If he estimated that he only needed a few more months of hard work, perhaps he could break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The eighth level of Qi Refining was just a step away from Foundation Building!

He walked out of the main hall and looked at the three adjacent small chambers, his expression calm.

It seemed that Qin Qingrou was about to break through.

Since the side effects of the Beast Dark Spiritual Root had been eliminated, Qin Qingrou's control over the Bathing Fire technique had become more proficient, and she had become more diligent in her cultivation.

Coupled with Lu Yu's generous supply of Gathering Spirit Pills and the excellent cultivation environment, Qin Qingrou's cultivation speed was even slightly faster than Lu Yu's.

But the ninth level of Qi Refining seemed to be not easy for Qin Qingrou.
