Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

First floor of Qingyun Shop.

Shopkeeper Ren personally sees Lu Yu off.

"Senior Lu."

"The matter of being a guest cultivator at Tianji Inn, remember not to be careless."

"If you put in your full effort and luckily succeed, you will benefit greatly in the future, and your efforts will not be in vain."

Lu Yu bows and smiles, saying, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Ren, for your guidance."

He returns to Lanya Mansion.

His wives and concubines have not yet returned from the new shop.

Lu Yu enters the main quiet room, sits cross-legged, and repeatedly ponders the conditions mentioned in the message from Senior Xu.

Indeed, they are extremely strict and require a certain level of talent.

For some reason, a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat suddenly arises in his heart.

He has been immersed in refining spirit beast pills for more than ten years, never showing the slightest trace of laziness or stagnation.

Even if he is frustrated in the refining process, he will grit his teeth and persevere.

From winter snow to summer rain.

From dawn to late night.

In order to survive in this cultivation world and maintain a certain level of dignity, he has never relaxed.

It is precisely because of this that he can earn spirit stones by refining spirit beast pills and open up a path for himself.

He has also made a rough estimate that to become a guest cultivator at Tianji Inn, it will not only require time, energy, but also a considerable amount of spirit stones.

After sitting for a long time, Lu Yu opens his eyes slightly.

A firm determination flashes in his eyes.

Regardless of whether he can succeed or not, he knows the opportunity and the importance of making a desperate effort.

If not, he would not be willing.

...

Days pass by.

Lu Yu has never stopped cultivating except for dual cultivation. He spends all his other time on refining spirit beast pills.

Not only is he researching and summarizing how to refine the Haohuo Extinguishing Pill, but he is also delving into many incomplete pill formulas.

In addition to refining the Haohuo Extinguishing Pill, he also tirelessly refines the pill formulas he has already mastered.

In order to earn money for daily expenses, but more importantly, to earn materials for the Haohuo Extinguishing Pill.

Because he is paying out of his own pocket, his progress is not fast, and sometimes he even uses the spirit stones earned by his wives and concubines to subsidize the household.

But after explaining the reasons to his wives and concubines, he has received a lot of understanding.

In this way, two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yu looks at the other two types of spirit beast pills of the same grade that he successfully refined in front of him, feeling extremely proud.

Beside these successfully refined spirit beast pills, there are also jade slips containing Lu Yu's insights.

In fact, the assessment criteria for Tianji Inn's guest cultivators that Senior Xu mentioned are not detailed.

It can even be summarized in a few simple sentences.

First, a cultivator with special value.

Second, someone who can accomplish what other cultivators cannot.

Third, someone with great perseverance and determination.

The easiest to achieve is the first criterion.

A cultivator with special value, if it weren't for Senior Xu's long stay in Qingyun Shop and hearing many extraordinary things, Lu Yu wouldn't know the triggering conditions for becoming a guest cultivator at Tianji Inn.

He had heard of a cultivator who specialized in array formations and repaired the missing information in an ancient formation, and even attached a jade slip containing his insights.

That cultivator handed over the ancient formation and the jade slip, not only earning a large amount of contribution points, but also coincidentally triggering the evaluation of Tianji Inn for guest cultivators.

Later, Tianji Inn was afraid that someone would take advantage of this, so they blocked similar news.

In Lu Yu's case, what he can repair is the pill formulas.

Smelling the fragrance of medicine in the quiet room, Lu Yu's expression becomes somewhat excited.

He collects the spirit beast pills and materials, and walks out of the quiet room with big strides.

When Lu Yu is almost obsessed with refining spirit beast pills, his wives and concubines, when they go out to run the shop, always leave one person waiting outside the quiet room.

Ling'er, who takes care of the spiritual plants on the first floor, hears the sound of the quiet room opening and shows a surprised expression on her face.

She can't remember how long it has been since she last heard a sound from outside the night.

She seems to know that this is an extraordinary day for Lu Yu.

As the sky gradually darkens, the slight dampness with a hint of green on the spiritual plants reflects the excitement rising in the courtyard.

Lu Yu entered the courtyard with a smile and greeted Ling'er before hurriedly heading towards the Qingyun Shop.

Before leaving, Lu Yu didn't forget to ask Ling'er to prepare more fine wine and spiritual food for the evening.

As the setting sun cast Lu Yu's shadow over a long distance, he finally entered the Qingyun Shop.

When he handed over the spirit beast pill in the merit room, Lu Yu still remembered the slight smile on Senior Xu's face.

"A message from the main building."

"In half a month, there will be cultivators coming to evaluate whether you are qualified to participate in the Tianji Guest Seat Cultivator Assessment."

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the wives and concubines chose to close the shop for a day.

They knew that this day was extremely important to Lu Yu.

Two years of hard work had turned into pleas for mercy.

Then, the wives and concubines surrounded Lu Yu and dressed him in a dignified new attire.

At this moment, as the sky gradually brightened, they gathered in front of the teleportation array in the courtyard.

When the starlight completely disappeared and the sky became completely bright.

A white light shone from Lu Yu's storage ring.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the senior in charge of evaluating the Tianji Guest Seat Pill Refiner is already waiting in the Qingyun Shop."

"Please come quickly!"

Lu Yu embraced his wives and took a deep breath.

Ling'er exclaimed with emotion, "Husband!"

Wanwan also crowded around Lu Yu.

The wives and concubines each said words of blessing one by one.

"Husband, success will come easily!"

"Husband, work hard. I will bathe and change clothes, and pray for you in peace..."

Lu Yu smiled slightly and activated the teleportation array.

With a flash of white light, only a confident statement was left behind: "Rest assured, I will definitely pass."

...

Qingyun Shop.

The shop's entrance, which used to be bustling with cultivators, now seemed somewhat deserted.

The shopkeeper, Ren, had half of his body leaning out onto the street, looking somewhat anxious.

It wasn't until a familiar figure appeared at the street corner that a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Shopkeeper Ren."

"How can I let you wait here for so long? I apologize for the rudeness, Lu Yu."

Lu Yu hurriedly took a few steps forward.

But Ren stepped forward to meet him with a smile, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu, there's no need to be nervous. You don't need to worry about the others."

"Remember, today you only need to do one thing."

"That is to pass the evaluation of the senior cultivators sent by the main building with all your might."

Finally, unable to resist, he patted Lu Yu's shoulder and smiled, "Be confident and prove yourself."

Lu Yu smiled and nodded.

The two of them went up to the third floor together.

At the last section of the stairs, Ren intentionally fell behind and gently pushed Lu Yu from behind.

Hearing footsteps, several pairs of eager eyes were already waiting at the stairwell.

Although they didn't sense any aura of senior cultivators.

But it felt as if Lu Yu's shoulders were carrying an immense burden.

Many guest seat cultivators from the Qingyun Shop, who had only met Lu Yu a few times, stood on both sides of the corridor.

This is Fellow Daoist Zhao, a first-grade guest seat artifact refiner.

This is Fellow Daoist Wang, a second-grade guest seat pill refiner.

...

Even Senior Xu, the Foundation Establishment cultivator who never left the merit room, was on the third floor, looking at Lu Yu with interest.

These people showed expressions of surprise, curiosity, and doubt on their faces.

But regardless of their expressions, no one dared to speak out of turn.

They all silently watched as Lu Yu took step by step.

Ren silently followed behind Lu Yu.

Lu Yu suddenly understood why Ren had waited for him downstairs and told him those words.

Just do one thing!
