Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 217

Broken Cloud City, Red Lantern District.

Lu Yu entered the Wanxiang Tower.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for visiting my humble shop. If you come again next time, I will offer you some discounts," said Lu Yu, looking surprised as he turned his gaze towards the voice.

The person speaking turned out to be Huang Fellow Daoist, a destitute female cultivator whom Lu Yu had encountered a few times on the Holy Spirit Mountain.

They had even traveled together on a fairy boat when they escaped from the Holy Spirit Mountain.

At this moment, she was dressed in a bright red Daoist robe, warmly greeting male cultivators passing by.

Upon seeing Lu Yu, Huang Fellow Daoist's carefully adorned beautiful face also showed a surprised expression.

But immediately, she replaced it with an extremely enthusiastic smile.

"So, this is Fellow Daoist Lu," she said.

"No, I should address you as Senior Lu," she continued.

"Welcome, Senior, to my Wanxiang Tower."

Looking at the charming female cultivator he had once fantasized about, Lu Yu replied with a hint of emotion, "Huang Fellow Daoist, what a coincidence."

He allowed Huang Fellow Daoist to lead him to the top floor private room.

He had thought that after leaving the Holy Spirit Mountain, he would never have the chance to see Huang Fellow Daoist again.

But unexpectedly, he encountered this fallen female cultivator, Huang Fellow Daoist, who had become destitute after her brother's death, in the Wanxiang Tower of Broken Cloud City.

After Huang Fellow Daoist, who had a great figure and beautiful appearance, warmly greeted Lu Yu and invited him to sit down, she asked, "Thank you for thinking of me, Senior Lu. As of now, you are a valued guest of my Wanxiang Tower. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Hearing this respectful tone, Lu Yu felt a sense of separation welling up in his heart.

But he did not correct her.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Will you be in charge of this Wanxiang Tower in the future?"

Huang Fellow Daoist smiled and replied, "Thank you for your kind words, Senior. But I have only been assigned here and I am not in charge."

Lu Yu nodded and said, "Please bring the old madam here."

"Senior Lu, please wait a moment. I will go and fetch her," Huang Fellow Daoist replied.

Before long, a heavily made-up old madam gracefully entered the private room and warmly said, "Oh, the immortal lord has arrived."

"I apologize for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me," she said, waving her hand to dismiss Huang Fellow Daoist.

Approaching Lu Yu, she jokingly asked, "Immortal lord, how about this Huang Fellow Daoist?"

"It is said that she has some connection with the immortal lord. I had to put in some effort to have the Fragrance Sect send her over."

"Her appearance and figure are both top-notch."

"As long as you give the word, she will be yours."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's face showed a hint of displeasure.

"I do have some acquaintance with her," he said.

"But it is very shallow. If you have other plans, I advise you to forget about it."

Although he had once fantasized about Huang Fellow Daoist, that was all in the past.

The old madam's expression became somewhat flustered, but she still maintained a smile and said, "Immortal lord, please don't be angry. Please don't be angry."

"Regardless, Huang Fellow Daoist is also an acquaintance of the immortal lord."

"I am only well-intentioned and not trying to profit from the immortal lord."

"If the immortal lord is not interested, I will send Huang Fellow Daoist away tomorrow."

Lu Yu looked at the old madam with a cold and dignified expression.

The smile on the old madam's face became even more forced, and she quickly added, "But, immortal lord, the Fragrance Sect does not support idle people."

"If Huang Fellow Daoist cannot receive Fellow Daoist's care and is sent away, she will be in a very disadvantageous position."

Lu Yu stared at the old madam, furrowing his brows, and asked, "Are you saying that I have no choice but to take Huang Fellow Daoist?"

"Haha, immortal lord, you have misunderstood me."

After understanding the reason for Lu Yu's anger, the old mother's expression relaxed and said:

"If Immortal Lord is not afraid to let that Huang Fellow Daoist leave, then this small shop will be managed by Huang Fellow Daoist."

Lu Yu showed a slightly surprised expression and said:

"If this small shop is managed by Huang Fellow Daoist, then what about you, old mother?"

The old mother smiled even more and said, "Immortal Lord is now a distinguished guest of Wanxiang Tower."

"I will be specifically responsible for accompanying Immortal Lord in the future."

Lu Yu shook his head and fell silent.

"Does the old mother have any other matters?"

If he was invited here just because of this matter, it would be a bit excessive.

"If there is nothing, I will take my leave."

The old mother smiled and said, "There is something."

"The main reason for inviting Immortal Lord here this time is to deliver a message from my Fragrance Sect."

"Do you still remember the Holy Spirit Mountain Ancestor?"

"He has successfully advanced to the realm of Void God."

"The Fragrance Sect is worried about Immortal Lord's safety and came to remind you to leave as soon as possible."

Lu Yu looked puzzled and said, "Is the old mother confused?"

"This place is tens of thousands of miles away from the Holy Spirit Mountain. Why should I leave when the Holy Spirit Mountain Ancestor has advanced to the realm of Void God?"

The old mother whispered, "The Fragrance Sect received a report from inside the Holy Spirit Mountain. The Holy Spirit Mountain Ancestor in the realm of Void God has plans to invade the Jingguo territory."

"If that really happens, it will be difficult for Fellow Daoist to leave."

"After all, the power of the Thundering Nine Heavens Array controlled by a Nascent Soul cultivator is incomparable to the power of the Array controlled by a Void God cultivator."

"Immortal Lord, think about the fate of the one hundred thousand souls in the Holy Spirit Mountain..."

Lu Yu didn't listen to the rest of the words.

His mind sank, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't believe it.

"This is too unbelievable."

"Even a powerful cultivator in the realm of Void God would actually care about such a small place..."

The old mother earnestly said, "Regardless of whether this matter will happen in the end."

"Immortal Lord surely doesn't want to wait until the critical moment to leave, right?"

"If you want to evacuate this time, even my Fragrance Sect doesn't have much confidence."

"And, if Immortal Lord leaves one day earlier, both me and Huang Fellow Daoist can also leave one day earlier, thanks to Immortal Lord's blessing."

Lu Yu understood in his heart when he heard this.

He didn't continue to inquire about the matter of the Holy Spirit Mountain Ancestor, but asked directly:

"Old mother, are there any other hidden dangers regarding the spiritual roots implanted in my wife Ling'er?"

When Lu Yu asked about the matters of ordinary cultivators advancing in cultivation, the old mother's face showed a smile, and she used the pre-arranged words to say:

"Immortal Lord, please rest assured. If there are any problems with the spiritual roots implanted this time, my Fragrance Sect would never dare to conceal it."

"If we really talk about hidden dangers, it would only be the limitation of future cultivation realm."

Lu Yu asked in confusion, "What does it mean for the cultivation realm to be limited?"

"The implanted spiritual roots are taken from the Jiamu Xuanturtle, and the highest realm these types of spirit beasts can reach is the Foundation Building realm, with very few reaching the Nascent Soul realm."

"So, your wife's future cultivation realm will also be limited by the upper limit of the Jiamu Xuanturtle."

"But this is an unchangeable fact."

He silently nodded.

This didn't seem to be a hidden danger.

Ling'er, as an ordinary cultivator, even if she could only cultivate to the Foundation Building realm, it would still be a great gain to add a hundred years of lifespan.

Not to mention reaching the Nascent Soul realm.

Lu Yu's smile returned to his face, and after chatting with the old mother for a while, he left Wanxiang Tower.

...

Walking on the way back to the Lanxin Mansion, Lu Yu kept pondering.

In the future, even if it required more resources, he would make sure that Ling'er advanced to the realm of Nascent Soul.

But she also had to work hard herself.

And after thinking about it, Lu Yu felt that what the old mother said about the Holy Spirit Mountain Ancestor was what he needed to pay attention to at the moment.

According to the temperament of that ancestor, he could commit the cruel act of sacrificing one hundred thousand living beings when he was in the Nascent Soul stage.

Once he invaded Jingguo, it wouldn't be surprising if he made the move to sacrifice one million living beings.
