After returning to Xianju from Wangsha Tower, Lu Yu's life returned to its usual tranquility.

Time flew by, and it was already the winter solstice again.

Early in the morning today,

The spiritual plants in the courtyard were covered in a thick layer of frost.

Stepping out of the small room, a bone-chilling coldness greeted them, dispersing the heat generated by the two of them fighting inside the room.

Qin Qingrou was only wearing a white inner garment, her long black hair casually scattered, with many strands falling into the crevices.

"This Broken Cloud City is even colder and drier than the Holy Spirit Mountain."

Lu Yu wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind and smiled, "What, do you want to go back to the outskirts of the Holy Spirit Mountain?"

"I've been living there for a long time, so I can't help but feel nostalgic."

After speaking, Qin Qingrou turned around in Lu Yu's embrace, and her two peaks on her chest deformed slightly.

"Husband, there are many disciples from other sects in Broken Cloud City, and the journey from Lan Ya Mansion to the Employment Hall is quite far."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the three sisters by myself."

"Maybe we shouldn't go there for now."

"The rented shop can also temporarily close for a while, what do you think?"

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yu said, "Of course, you can do that. When the situation becomes clearer, you and Ling'er can go back to running the shop."

"During this time, try to absorb more Jinpin Mei's Life-Nurturing Pills and strive to reach the Foundation Building stage as soon as possible."

Qin Qingrou's eyes were filled with tenderness as she wrapped her arms around Lu Yu's neck and leaned closer, "Thanks to your continuous love, I can fully exert the medicinal effects of the Jinpin Mei's Life-Nurturing Pills and improve my cultivation speed."

"It's still early in the day, and I want to spar with you a little longer."

After saying that, her body gradually became hot, pressing tightly against Lu Yu, as if she wanted to stick herself to him.

"I used to worry that sparring with you would delay your cultivation, but now that I know the miraculous effects of the Jinpin Mei's Life-Nurturing Pills, it was all needless worry."

Lu Yu smiled slightly and said seriously, "Embarking on the path of immortality is what I desire, and loving Rou'er is also what I desire. I want both."

"Moreover, even if sparring with Rou'er delays my meditation practice, it doesn't matter."

After all, dual cultivation is the foundation of Lu Yu's current situation.

Qin Qingrou covered her face and chuckled, pretending to be puzzled, "Am I really that good?"

"Or is it your competitiveness at play?"

"If you're willing, I'm willing to lose a few times, how about that?"

Lu Yu's old waist, which had been busy all night, trembled slightly at her words.

He waved his hand and said, "Of course it's not my competitiveness at play."

"We'll spar until we've had enough each day. I'll go to the meditation room downstairs to earn spirit stones."

After saying that, Lu Yu grabbed his clothes and fled, disappearing into the main meditation room.

Not long after, a series of prompts sounded in his mind.

[Spirit Tamer: Earth Rank Eighth Grade (1164317/2000000)]

[Cultivation Aptitude: Slightly Gifted (775176/1000000)]

After so many days of hard work, Lu Yu's rank as a Spirit Tamer had greatly improved.

Especially after Qin Qingrou took the Jinpin Mei's Life-Nurturing Pill, their dual cultivation frequently triggered an excited state.

Thinking back,

Based on his estimation, he was not far from becoming a Ninth Grade Spirit Tamer.

And his improvement in cultivation aptitude was not small either. Compared to his rank as a Spirit Tamer, he should be able to level up faster.

As for trying to control the beast soul artifact with a more powerful divine sense, Lu Yu had also experimented with it many times.

He is indeed able to control various beast soul artifacts, including the Dual Spirit Jiao, but the quality of the other beast soul artifacts is not high.

Therefore, when he refines more powerful beast soul artifacts, he will need to experiment again.

While he was thinking about it.

A burst of white light flashed in Lu Yu's storage ring.

He probed with his divine sense and found that it was Qin Qingrou's voice transmission jade slip shining.

The message she sent was very concise.

"Wang Yunju is waiting for you."

A joyful smile appeared on Lu Yu's face, and a wicked fire surged in his heart.

That generous and captivating figure appeared in his mind again. Although the rewards for going to the door were less, the experience was still good.

During this period, Lu Yu had been living a routine life, but receiving a message brought back the sense of control he had on Jiang Yuru.

It seemed that the tempting fragrance was lingering in his nose again.

But it was late at night, and it was not appropriate to go out.

Lu Yu suppressed the wicked fire in his heart and replied, "I will go to Wang Yunju tomorrow afternoon. Please be prepared, Fellow Daoist."

Then, Lu Yu withdrew his divine sense, cleared his mind of distractions, and began his daily cultivation.

In Wang Yunju, Jiang Yuru heard the news, and her trembling body gradually calmed down.

Although she showed a joyful expression on her face, she secretly complained in her heart, "This wicked person, if I don't call him, would he not know to come?"

Although it was just a reply.

It made her heart restless for a long time.

After hesitating for a moment, she took a deep breath and put on her clothes again.

She had to save some energy so that she could properly subdue that wicked person tomorrow and not embarrass herself like last time.

After tidying up her messy bun and adjusting her white dress, Jiang Yuru pushed open the door and walked out of the bedroom.

Coincidentally, a female cultivator who lived upstairs happened to be coming downstairs.

When the female cultivator saw Jiang Yuru, she smiled and greeted, "Jiang Fellow Daoist, you look stunning today and you're leaving so early. I guess you're going to meet a handsome male cultivator."

Jiang Yuru blushed at the remark but immediately retorted, "No, no."

"Sister, you know my personality. Besides work and cultivation, I don't have time to get involved with male cultivators and have romantic encounters."

The female cultivator snorted, "If I hadn't seen it from a distance last time on the Broken Cloud Star, I might have believed your nonsense."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuru's face immediately turned red.

"Sister, you saw it?"

The female cultivator admitted, laughing, "Yes, I saw it. But I saw that he was just a Qi Refining cultivator. Since you've confessed today, let me remind you a few things."

"If you want to live a peaceful life in this Broken Cloud City, you need a lot of spirit stones, which a cultivator who hasn't reached Foundation Building can't provide for you."

"I hope you think carefully."

Jiang Yuru smiled sweetly, "Thank you for your concern, sister. I know my limits."

The female cultivator sighed, "But sister, you have a delicate and auspicious appearance. I'm sure you're popular among male cultivators."

"Unlike me, who needs to go out of the city to do dangerous tasks like escorting caravans and fighting sand beasts. Living like this for a long time, I've seen many cultivators perish."

"Now, every time I leave the city, I feel anxious in my heart."

"I wish I had the good fortune like you, if I could be noticed by a Foundation Building senior, even if I can't become a phoenix on a branch, at least I won't have to worry about my future with the support of a Foundation Building cultivator."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuru felt a mix of emotions in her heart.

Before becoming the shopkeeper of the Qingyun Pill Shop in the Holy Spirit Mountain Bazaar, she had worked as a laborer in a hunting cultivator team.

It was because many of her good friends died in the mouths of ferocious beasts that she firmly decided to only serve as a shopkeeper and not have any thoughts of going out of the city to work.

Even though she was no longer the shopkeeper, her monthly salary was not high, and she lived a difficult life, she never had the idea of going out of the city to work.
