Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Meanwhile, Lu Yu also felt that his cultivation had reached a critical point that could not be delayed any longer.

Only Foundation Building could continue to improve the ranks of alchemists and spirit masters.

Moreover, if he were to achieve Foundation Building, the speed at which he earned spiritual stones would undoubtedly increase.

Then he would have sufficient resources to support his wives and concubines.

Furthermore, reaching Foundation Building at the age of seventy was a major threshold for cultivators.

After the age of seventy, it became extremely difficult to achieve Foundation Building. Even if there was a chance, the probability of failure would greatly increase.

For Lu Yu, achieving Foundation Building within fifteen years was not too difficult, but it was definitely not something that could be easily accomplished.

He sighed inwardly.

Even if Ling'er and Bailanshan worked harder, it wouldn't reduce the difficulty by much.

"Husband."

At this moment, the door to the small bedroom was suddenly pushed open by Ling'er.

Nervously, Ling'er slipped into Lu Yu's embrace from the other side, like a little cat.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yu's fingertips brushed over Ling'er's face as he asked softly.

"It has been more than ten years since I married you."

Ling'er paused for a moment and murmured softly, "Once an ordinary woman passes the age of thirty, her appearance and figure will start to decline."

"Although you have taken care of me so well over the years, it cannot change the fate of me growing older."

"In a few more years, my face will be full of wrinkles, with gray hair. How can I face you then?"

"I feel that I should leave the best of myself for you, so in a few days, I want to..."

As she spoke, Ling'er's voice choked, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Lu Yu lowered his head and sealed Ling'er's lips with his own.

"Ling'er, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave on your own."

"No matter what happens in the future, I will not let you leave me."

While kissing away her tears, Lu Yu sincerely said.

He had always regarded Ling'er as his beloved wife. From the moment he sent Ling'er away from the Holy Spirit Mountain, he understood that their fates were already intertwined.

This connection between them was something that no other wives or concubines could replace.

"Silly Ling'er, don't think about these things anymore."

"When the mountains lose their edges and the heavens and earth merge, I dare to be separated from you."

Upon hearing this, Ling'er burst into tears and nodded slightly.

"Husband, Ling'er understands."

"Just understanding is not enough. If you make a mistake, there must be punishment."

Ling'er's teary eyes widened, and she choked, "Punishment? What kind of punishment?"

"I will punish you by having you sleep with me tonight."

After a while, Ling'er fell asleep in Lu Yu's arms, snoring softly.

Qin Qingrou, who was beside them, had already teared up and was deeply moved.

She quietly got up, revealing her beautiful and fair figure in the moonlight, but was pulled back onto the bed by Lu Yu.

Lu Yu asked in a low voice with a complicated expression, "Qin sister, is there really no way for Ling'er to become a female cultivator? Even if she has the Five Spiritual Roots?"

Qin Qingrou hugged him tightly, but she dared not reveal the answer in her heart.

At this moment, any comfort seemed powerless in the face of the Heavenly Dao.

No spiritual roots, no immortality. This had been an unbreakable rule since ancient times.

There must be a way.

It's just that his realm and status were still unknown.

After saying that, Lu Yu let out a long sigh, embraced the two women, and fell into a rare deep sleep.

...

Several more days passed.

Neighbor Xu, an elder, knocked on the courtyard door, inviting Lu Yu to enjoy the moon and drink together.

As their interactions increased, they became more familiar with each other.

Lu Yu knew that Xu, the elder, also indulged in worldly desires.

Not only did he marry and have children, but he also indulged in fine food and wine.

However, Xu's partner seemed gentle, but occasionally showed a spicy side.

The two of them sat down at a small stone table in the courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Qin, I offer you a toast," Xu, the elder, smiled and raised his cup to Lu Yu and his partner.

Lu Yu quickly glanced at Qin Qingrou and said, "I can't, I can't."

"This cup should be offered to the elder," he said.

After some polite exchanges, Lu Yu couldn't help but ask, "Elder Xu, this wine seems quite unique, it seems to be the same as the wine at the banquet with Elder Yao last time."

In fact, what he wanted to say was that it was the same as the mud-sealed fine wine brought by the shopkeeper Ren last time.

Upon hearing this, Xu, the elder, smiled and nodded, "Fellow Daoist Lu must also be a wine lover. Yes, this wine is also the Ten-Flavored Fire Spirit Beast Pill Wine."

"It's just that my partner and I made it by imitating it randomly. I apologize if Fellow Daoist finds it lacking."

Lu Yu heard this and felt slightly embarrassed.

He was not someone who understood and loved wine.

It was just that this spirit wine had a very special feeling when he drank it, making him somewhat familiar.

Xu's partner covered her mouth and smiled, then looked at her husband and smoothly said, "Although the taste of this wine is similar to the Ten-Flavored Fire Spirit Beast Pill Wine, the beast pills used are not of the Foundation Building cultivation level, so the effects are much inferior to the genuine product."

Lu Yu didn't think much of it and praised it repeatedly, until Xu, the elder, and his partner seemed delighted.

Xu, the elder, even became more diligent in refilling their cups.

After drinking for a while, Xu, the elder, suddenly changed the topic and said, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu has any connection with Elder Yao?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu suddenly understood.

Since the banquet at Wangsha Tower, Xu, the elder, had noticeably invited him more frequently to enjoy the moon and drink.

He vaguely felt that the other party had a request for him.

He didn't expect his speculation to be correct.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yu replied, "Elder Yao is generous and fond of making friends. I have been fortunate enough to establish some good relations with Elder Yao."

Upon hearing this, Xu, the elder, had a slightly gloomy expression.

But his partner smiled gently and said, "After the last time my husband came back, he kept praising how well you and Elder Yao got along. It seems that the elder treats you with great favor. Your relationship must be deep."

"It's just that Ten-Flavored Fire Spirit Beast Pill Wine, my husband arrived late and didn't have a chance to taste it."

After Lu Yu modestly said a few more words, Xu, the elder, and his partner explained the reason.

"I have two daughters and one son at home. One of the sons and daughters have decent talent and enjoy fighting with others."

"I have an impolite request. I want Fellow Daoist to recommend them and let my son and daughter become disciples of Elder Yao. I hope Fellow Daoist won't refuse."

Lu Yu's expression became serious, and he sighed, "I should have accepted this matter without hesitation."

"But I heard that Elder Yao seems to only accept family members and juniors as disciples, and does not accept outsiders."

"The recommendation is not difficult, but whether Elder Yao agrees or not, I cannot guarantee."

Being invited to Elder Yao's banquet, it must mean that Xu, the elder, and Elder Yao have a close relationship.

Xu, the elder, smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, you don't know. Actually, Elder Yao does accept outsiders as disciples, but they have to bring good fortune."

Good fortune? The image of Elder Yao's imposing figure suddenly appeared in Lu Yu's mind.

He looked at the three children sitting inside the building, all of them with good figures, especially the two girls. They were young, but already had the potential to become beauties.

How could they bring good fortune?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yu realized that he couldn't refuse this matter. He clasped his hands and said, "Elder Xu, when Elder Yao returns, I will try my best to recommend them and speak highly of them."

"As for whether Elder Yao agrees or not, I cannot guarantee."

They were neighbors, and Lu Yu had also enjoyed a lot of good wine from Xu, the elder. If he refused too directly, it would hurt their feelings.

Fortunately, Xu, the elder, and his wife did not insist on this promise.

Time flew by, and more than a month had passed since they enjoyed the moon in the small courtyard.

While Lu Yu was diligently refining spirit beast pills, a white light suddenly appeared in his storage ring.
