Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Manager Ren pondered for a moment. This Fellow Daoist Lu has always been low-key, so he shouldn't be one to argue with others. He nodded in agreement.

They walked northward, passing through a street with a red lantern hanging high.

As soon as the cultivators entered the street, many scantily clad female cultivators surrounded them.

Amidst the flurry of attacks, Lu Yu and his group could only smile bitterly.

Manager Ren sighed softly, flipped his palm, and took out a low-grade spirit stone from his storage ring, scattering it into the air.

The female cultivators then used their spiritual techniques to snatch the spirit stone.

Manager Ren leaned closer to Lu Yu and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Lu, if you ever come here again and get surrounded by these female cultivators, you must not resort to violence."

"There is a powerful senior in this Red Lantern Alley who will take care of it. You just need to scatter the spirit stones like I did to disperse them."

"That's the rule of the Red Lantern Street."

Lu Yu stared at Manager Ren, whose face was half-covered in lip prints from the female cultivators, and quickly nodded, making a mental note.

As they walked through the Red Lantern Street, there were constant sounds of seductive music and even some embarrassing gasps.

After leaving the Red Lantern Street, they walked for a while longer.

They finally saw the signboard of the Wansha Tower from a distance.

Under the signboard, Senior Yao, who had an imposing figure, was leading a group of young cultivators to welcome and bid farewell at the entrance of the tower.

As they approached, Senior Yao greeted them with a big smile, "Oh, Lao Ren, Fellow Daoists, your presence truly gives Yao great face."

Everyone quickly returned the greeting.

Then, Senior Yao glared at Manager Ren and said, "Lao Ren, you're not being thoughtful enough."

"Didn't I remind you? At such a good time, you should have brought some spirit wine."

"I even boasted to the other Fellow Daoists. What am I going to do now?"

"From now on, all the cultivators in this broken Cloud City will know that you, Manager Ren, are stingy."

Manager Ren's face turned black, and he said angrily, "Senior Yao, you're hosting your own celebration, and you still want me to bring spirit wine? That's just not fair."

"And who said I'm stingy?"

With that, Manager Ren flipped his palm and took out a bottle of mud-sealed fine wine from his storage ring.

Before he could open the mud seal, the rich aroma of the wine, mixed with spiritual energy, filled the air.

The cultivators were slightly surprised at the sight.

Senior Yao slapped his belly and laughed heartily, "I knew I didn't misjudge you. Come, come, come, please come in!"

The interior of the Wansha Tower was not elaborately decorated. In fact, it was completely open on all sides, revealing a vast expanse of yellow sand.

The group was led to the top floor, where they saw a completely different scene from inside the city, causing their hearts to tremble.

Senior Yao invited everyone to take a seat. Apart from two tables specially arranged for Foundation Building cultivators, the rest were filled with Qi Refining cultivators.

When it was time for Lu Yu to be seated, Manager Ren gave a signal to Senior Yao with his eyes.

Although Senior Yao was rough in his ways, he had some insight as someone who had reached the pinnacle of Foundation Building cultivation.

But seeing Lu Yu's slightly distressed expression, he smiled and said, "Lao Ren, don't rush."

"Even if you force Fellow Daoist Lu to sit down, he will only eat with extreme restraint."

"It's better to let me arrange things and make sure that Fellow Daoist Lu enjoys himself while he's here."

"What do you think?"

Before Manager Ren could speak, Senior Yao led Lu Yu to the table where the Qi Refining cultivators were gathered.

Only then did Lu Yu sit down at ease.

After whispering a few words to the Qi Refining cultivators at the table, Senior Yao smiled and left.

As they walked, they shouted boldly, "Lao Ren, open the wine quickly."

Just as Senior Yao left, a Qi Refining cultivator raised his cup and stood up, offering it to Lu Yu, saying, "I suppose this is the Fellow Daoist Lu that Uncle often mentions?"

"Today, we meet by chance, and I am fortunate," Lu Yu replied.

After speaking, the cultivator drank the spirit wine in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu quickly raised his cup, drank it all, and then showed the bottom of the cup to everyone.

"I am Lu Yu, a Qi Refining alchemist. It is also my great fortune to meet all of you," he said.

The cultivators at the table nodded in agreement.

Then the standing cultivator filled another cup and introduced himself, saying, "I am Yao Qianji. I previously asked Uncle for help in finding someone and guiding me in refining spirit beast pills."

"But Uncle insisted that I focus on cultivation until I reach Foundation Building. After Foundation Building, I will bother Fellow Daoist Lu more," he continued.

Lu Yu nodded slightly and said, "It's not a bother. I have some shallow knowledge about refining spirit beast pills. I can share some insights with Fellow Daoist when the time comes."

He looked up at Yao Qianji. Although he had recently reached Foundation Building, his aura was already restrained and profound. There was still a hint of a fierce and decisive aura on his face, indicating that he had taken the same path of killing as Senior Yao.

After the greetings, the two sat down again. Soon, the drinking and toasting began on the table.

After a while, footsteps could be heard at the staircase. Lu Yu turned his head and saw a cultivator he knew.

It was Fellow Daoist Xu, the neighbor of Lan Ya Mansion.

Next to him, someone greeted him, "Fellow Daoist Xu, it's been many years. I didn't expect you to return recently. You must have gained a lot, I presume?"

While Lu Yu was paying attention, Senior Xu quickly noticed him and smiled, nodding in greeting.

Then Senior Xu turned to chat with the other cultivator who came with him.

After a while, the spiritual pressure in the building suddenly increased. Lu Yu's face showed surprise, and then he saw a cultivator in a yellow robe coming from outside.

As the banquet progressed, Lu Yu also discovered the wonders of this Wansha Tower.

Although the four sides of the tower were empty, several arrays were neatly engraved on the pillars.

Not only could it create a gentle breeze for the cultivators inside the tower, but it could also absorb the moist spiritual energy from the surroundings, making people feel more comfortable.

The yellow-robed cultivator arrived by stepping on air, covering a distance of several miles in an instant.

Lu Yu looked up, but he couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly.

Just as he was engrossed in looking, someone suddenly patted his shoulder. Only then did he realize that everyone in the building had stood up and turned towards the yellow-robed cultivator.

Lu Yu quickly raised his cup and stood up.

"Senior Qiu, I am honored to meet you," he said.

"Fellow Daoist Yao, today your junior has officially embarked on the path of immortality. Qiu came to have a cup of watered wine and will leave soon," the yellow-robed cultivator replied.

"When you achieve the Dao Pill, I will drink with you again!"

After speaking, the yellow-robed cultivator flicked his fingers, and the spirit wine in a cup on the table turned into a stream of water and flew into his mouth.

After savoring it for a moment, the yellow-robed cultivator smiled and said, "Good wine, good wine."

Then he bowed and left.

After that, Lu Yu continuously stood up to toast.

Among them, the spiritual pressure almost made everyone present freeze. Even Senior Yao showed great respect and treated Lu Yu as his junior.

It was highly likely that they were Nascent Soul ancestors.

"Senior Yao really has impressive friends!"

"Even the Nascent Soul ancestors have come."

"Yes, it is said that Senior Yao not only has a great reputation among the Foundation Building cultivators in Poyun City, but also has connections with the Pill Formation and Nascent Soul seniors."

The people whispered to each other, mostly expressing admiration.
