Actually, Lu Yu had the urge to answer this question as soon as he heard it.

But fortunately, reason prevailed over impulse.

Rather than saying that this question is the simplest, it is more accurate to say that this question is the most trap-laden.

He was even a little puzzled as to why the other party would throw such a question at him after he had successfully tackled two extremely difficult questions about refining the Spirit Beast Pill in succession.

But since it was asked, he must answer.

And judging from the mocking smile on the other party's face, there was obviously a deeper meaning behind it.

For a long time, Lu Yu still couldn't figure out what the deeper meaning was.

But as long as he took the answer seriously, there shouldn't be too much deviation.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu took a deep breath and spoke up:

"The Spirit Beast Pill is also a way of life."

"Those who love life, love the Spirit Beast Pill."

The young female cultivator heard this and was stunned for a moment.

Then she remembered the jade slip containing Lu Yu's introduction that the shopkeeper had handed over.

What caught her attention in particular was Lu Yu's four wives and concubines.

"Those who love life, love the Spirit Beast Pill?"

The young female cultivator read it again and then showed a blush on her face.

...

In the adjacent room of the quiet room.

Three Foundation Establishment cultivators heard this and showed a light-hearted smile on their faces, waving their hands slightly:

"This girl is teasing people again, hahaha..."

"I'm quite satisfied with this answer. It's concise, vulgar, and elegant."

"It's not easy. After years of seclusion, I finally encountered a cultivator who can pass the evaluation as a guest cultivator of Tianji."

"Yes, from the low-level to the high-level of pill refinement, it's like going through purgatory in the mortal world, and it's even rarer for high-level cultivators."

One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators nodded slightly and said:

"With such talent and understanding of the human heart, only this last step of testing the Spirit Beast Pill is missing."

"Testing the pill? I don't care about the result of the pill test. Just based on the appearance of the Spirit Beast Pill in the second test, it is enough to determine that this person has passed the evaluation."

"I second that."

After speaking, the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators looked helplessly at the Foundation Establishment cultivator who was going to test the pill.

"Two out of three, that means the evaluation has passed!"

The three cultivators laughed loudly, and then one of them flipped his palm and took out a beautifully carved jade slip with a white and lustrous color from his storage ring, and recorded it with divine sense.

"Evaluation passed, approved!"

...

Not long after.

In the evaluation quiet room where Lu Yu was located.

The young female cultivator went out again and came back, looking at Lu Yu with a smile on her face.

There was even an undisguised admiration in her eyes.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lu, you have passed this evaluation!"

After speaking, she handed the jade slip placed in her palm to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took it and probed it with his divine sense, revealing a look of joy on his face.

"This is a jade slip with a trace of divine sense from the elders."

"Not only can it be used as proof of your qualification, but before the formal assessment begins, the elders can also help you by locating your position with divine sense to ensure your safety."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please treat it with caution."

"The elders seem to have some urgent matters and have already left the shop in a hurry. If there is a chance, you will meet again."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu felt excited in his heart.

Then, following the young female cultivator with twin ponytails, he left the room.

During the outing, Lu Yu's gaze gradually became somewhat unfocused.

A female cultivator with such a voluptuous figure, yet with a youthful face...

Outside the private room, the youthful female cultivator suddenly turned her head, forming a beautiful curve in the doorway.

"Fellow Daoist Lu's skill in refining spirit beast pills is admirable."

"But Fellow Daoist Lu's courage surprised me."

"When I entered the room earlier, I was thinking, if Fellow Daoist failed, should I take one of your eyeballs or both?"

"But since you passed the assessment, I will let you have a look."

After speaking, she turned and left the private room.

However, Lu Yu heard the secret transmission from the youthful female cultivator again in his ear: "My surname is Zhou. If Fellow Daoist is fortunate, perhaps we can meet again at the main building."

Lu Yu was initially somewhat startled by the fact that the youthful female cultivator seemed to have seen through him, but soon he chuckled.

But quickly, he pushed aside his distracting thoughts and intended to walk out with a calm expression. However, he couldn't suppress the smile at the corner of his mouth no matter what.

Although he had only passed the assessment of the guest cultivators at Qingyun Shangmen, the difficulty was enough to be proud of.

The hard work of the past ten years had become the foundation for his success at this moment.

On the long path of immortality, he had finally stepped onto a slightly smoother section.

The shopkeeper had already walked out of the private room upon hearing the commotion next door.

He was dressed in a dark Daoist robe, with a plain yet difficult-to-conceal smile on his face as he looked at Lu Yu.

Until Lu Yu approached, he suddenly waved his sleeve and made a neat bow, smiling, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lu, for passing the assessment!"

"Congratulations..."

Immediately, there was a burst of noisy congratulations.

Inside Poyun City, at the Lanya Mansion.

At the underground spring eye of the huge spiritual spring, spiritual energy gushed out.

The mist here was almost knee-high for an ordinary person, and there were several anomalies every year.

Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to rent a place here, it would cost a great price.

But for cultivators with the strength to establish their own Nascent Soul cave mansion, they would generally go out to find a place with abundant spiritual energy and develop their own blessed cave mansion.

Xu Senior was the chief clerk in the merit office of Qingyun Shangpu. Although he also had the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment, he rented a separate small building in the Lanya Mansion because he often stayed in Poyun City.

Although it was not as good as his self-established cave mansion, it was enjoyable to have the company of the ten-colored lake.

"The assessment of the guest cultivators..."

He hadn't been to Qingyun Shangpu for a while.

But occasionally, he would think of the method that the person used to exchange merit points with him in order to trigger the assessment of the guest cultivators.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had already lived for thousands of years and had a long lifespan. Although he could travel through the mortal world, if he wanted to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, he was still somewhat anxious.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, each step towards the Nascent Soul stage was extremely difficult.

It often took three to four hundred years, and if there were obstacles or hindrances, it was common to waste one or two hundred years.

Even when he reached the later stage of Foundation Establishment, he still needed to make sufficient preparations to form his Nascent Soul.

If he succeeded in one attempt, it would be fine, but if he failed, his thousand-year lifespan would be almost depleted.

This had little to do with talent, temperament, or opportunity; it was all a matter of fate.

But being able to enter Qingyun Shangpu and work in the merit office was quite good for Xu Senior.

However, once he needed to cherish resources, even if he had merit points, it was not enough to exchange for them.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, there were many magical items that they had never seen before, and those that were beneficial for forming a Nascent Soul were not only priceless but also unavailable.

But if there was a guest cultivator from the Tianji position to help, things would naturally be much smoother.

However, in a thousand years, he had only seen one case, and it was unlikely that he would see another.

It was said that there were Nascent Soul cultivators participating in the final assessment.

He remembered that the cultivator who inquired about the method to trigger the assessment seemed to be only at the Qi Refining stage.

It was just a pipe dream.

Suddenly, a white light flashed at Xu Senior's fingertip.
