Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Lu Yu sighed, feeling overwhelmed by the fact that he was just a Qi Refining cultivator. How could he do well in front of so many senior cultivators?

Lu Yu felt nervous.

He looked at the cultivators around him and thought how nice it would be if they were still outside the Holy Spirit Mountain, where most of them were probably Foundation Building cultivators.

As he walked to the front of a room, the shopkeeper suddenly walked past Lu Yu and went to the door.

"Come in here."

After saying that, the shopkeeper patted Lu Yu's shoulder and gave him an expectant look.

Lu Yu nodded and pushed open the door to enter.

To his surprise, there was a young and beautiful female cultivator sitting at a tea table in the room.

She had two ponytails and a mysterious smile on her face.

Looking down, she was wearing a red Daoist robe, and there was a silver necklace shining on her smooth and fair neck.

"Please follow me."

After speaking, the young female cultivator stood up and walked towards the inner door.

Only then did Lu Yu realize that although the female cultivator looked young, her figure was no worse than Qin Qingrou's.

It was constantly full and round, and she walked with a sense of playfulness and charm.

When they reached the inner door, she glanced back slightly and smiled sweetly, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I came from the Zonglou."

"This time, I am here to evaluate whether Fellow Daoist is qualified to become a guest cultivator of Tianji."

"Next, I will go through the evaluation process with Fellow Daoist. If you have any doubts, you can raise them."

After speaking, the young female cultivator stepped into the inner door, and her ponytails naturally fell down, constantly hitting her perky buttocks.

Lu Yu quickly followed, always maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

As he walked a few steps with his head down, his gaze couldn't resist falling on the bouncing ponytails.

After a while, the nervousness and anxiety in his heart gradually eased.

After entering the inner door, they entered a quiet room, which was similar to his own main room in terms of furnishings.

The young female cultivator turned around and smiled at the desk, "Fellow Daoist Lu."

"There are materials for five Ling Beast Pills in this quiet room. You just need to make them according to the pill formula on the side."

"Of course, this is only our first evaluation."

Lu Yu was unfamiliar with these five sets of materials.

He picked up the jade slip and infused his divine sense into it.

It was a pill formula, but the names of the pills on the pill formula were missing a large chunk.

There were many vague parts.

And some places were so faint that it was difficult to perceive what was written.

Lu Yu carefully tasted and pondered, meticulously deducing.

Then, he focused and extended his hands, gently raising a palm.

The difficulty of this pill formula was similar to that of the Hao Fire Extinguishing Pill.

It was also a dual-attribute Ling Beast Pill.

But it used the peculiar principle of fire overcoming metal.

Metal was sharp, but once heated, the sharpness of the metal attribute would be weakened.

However, if one could control the release speed of the fire attribute spiritual energy well, not only would it not weaken the metal attribute spiritual energy, but it would also enhance the power of the metal attribute.

Lu Yu rolled the materials between his palms, slowly roasting them, and then divided the pill fire in his palm into hundreds of clusters.

In the adjacent quiet room, there were several tasteless Foundation Building cultivators sitting.

They were all shocked by the display of Lu Yu's pill refinement on the mirror.

It was worth noting that only cultivators in the later stage of Foundation Building could divide their pill fire into clusters.

They didn't expect this cultivator who seemed to be only in the later stage of Qi Refining to be able to do it, and he even divided it into so many clusters.

You should know that the guest cultivators of the Qingyun Shangmen are no longer simply assessing the level of pill refinement for Ling Beast Pills. They are also not concerned about the cultivators' mental fortitude. Although these are all extremely rare qualities, the guest cultivators of Qingyun Shangmen are already the cream of the crop, and those qualities are just basic requirements.

Being able to become a guest cultivator of Qingyun Shangmen itself indicates outstanding foundational qualities. And before entering the quiet room, the guest cultivators standing on both sides were naturally arranged intentionally. After going through the scrutiny of so many Foundation Building seniors, and even the gaze of Core Formation seniors, it is difficult for anyone not to feel suppressed and have a nervous mental gap.

However, these three Core Formation cultivators only showed surprise on their faces and did not start a conversation. Although this method of clustering the pill fire is difficult, it did not amaze them.

As expected, after just a few cups of tea, the materials in Lu Yu's hands turned into waste.

...

Even though Lu Yu had experience repairing damaged pill formulas within two years, on average it still took him six months to attempt to repair one pill formula.

During this process, the materials lost far exceeded five portions.

At this moment, Lu Yu felt a surge of negative emotions in his heart as he attempted to repair the broken pill formula.

A trace of panic involuntarily flashed across Lu Yu's face when he failed to refine it for the first time.

But soon, he suppressed the distractions in his heart and kept repeating two words.

Calm down! Calm down!

He sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion.

The scenes of tirelessly refining spirit beast pills over the past decade were vivid in his mind.

Inside the third floor of the Qingyun Shop, many guest cultivators had left.

But there were still some enthusiastic cultivators who found other private rooms and quietly enjoyed tea with the shopkeeper, Ren.

"The last time the assessment for the Qingyun Shop's Tianji guest alchemist was triggered seems to have been over a hundred years ago, right?"

"Yes, that cultivator is already in the late stage of Foundation Building, but unfortunately, they still couldn't pass the assessment."

"The Tianji guest cultivators... It seems that no one has been able to successfully advance in the Jingguo area for nearly five hundred years, right?"

"It's difficult. Not to mention the past five hundred years, even in another five hundred years, it will be extremely challenging to produce one."

Several cultivators who were also alchemists sighed.

They turned to look at Ren, the shopkeeper.

Ren, the shopkeeper, could only smile bitterly and take a sip of spiritual tea.

Seeing that the attention gathered on him showed no signs of dispersing.

He helplessly spoke, "Everyone, I am also nervous at this moment."

"After all, I am the shopkeeper of this branch. It would be such an honor to have a Tianji guest alchemist from Qingyun Commercial Gate."

"If you were to ask who, besides Fellow Daoist Lu, hopes for this evaluation to pass smoothly the most, it would undoubtedly be me."

"However, sigh..."

Ren, the shopkeeper, shook his head.

A cultivator in a green Daoist robe beside him smiled faintly and said, "Ren, the shopkeeper, if it passes, I'm afraid the rewards from the Commercial Gate won't be few, right?"

The group of cultivators immediately understood the key point and showed teasing expressions.

"Everyone, let's have some tea, have some tea..."

Although Ren, the shopkeeper, had a worried expression on his face, he secretly hoped for the best in his heart.

...

Inside the refining chamber.

The young female cultivator closest to Lu Yu at the moment showed a hint of surprise on her face.

She didn't expect that this Qi Refining stage alchemist could stabilize their mindset immediately after experiencing their first failure.

Previously, when she was leading the way, she could faintly feel the invasive gaze of the other party wandering over her.

When the other party revealed their malicious intentions, she felt that this evaluation was probably going to be in vain.
