Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 291 The Covenant Of Chaoyangzhou

Between the claws of the spirit beast, a terrifying spell attack condensed and tightly enveloped the spiritual platform within the body of the Saint Spirit Mountain Patriarch.

Seeing this, the green-robed cultivator who had just retreated in defeat couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim, "Well done, Fellow Daoist Qin, truly living up to the reputation of being the unparalleled spirit tamer of the Qingyun Merchant Sect for thousands of years."

"Not only do you have three extremely rare spirit beasts, but also countless precious spirit beast pills."

The brown-robed cultivator humbly said, "Where, where."

"I just happened to subdue these three spirit beasts by chance."

"Among them, there happens to be one that can naturally control thunder and lightning."

Then, Fellow Daoist Qin paused for a moment and looked at the Saint Spirit Mountain Patriarch under the claws of the spirit beast, smiling and saying, "The Thunderous Soul-Stealing Formation that shook the Nine Heavens back then was created by our Qingyun Merchant Sect."

"Even if there are cultivators who comprehend the technique during that time and cultivate all the way to the Void God realm and three realms beyond, they still have to obediently go to Chaoyang Continent."

"You have just entered the Void God realm, so it's better not to underestimate the situation."

"Are you a member of the Qingyun Merchant Sect?"

But the Saint Spirit Mountain Patriarch exclaimed, but immediately changed the subject, "Hmph, if it weren't for you outnumbering us and my negligence, how could you have won so easily?"

"This is the Heavenly Ji Beast Taming Technique created by our Qingyun Merchant Sect, which has gathered the heritage of ten thousand years."

"You lost to the heritage of this realm, and it's not unjust."

"You should obediently follow us to Chaoyang Continent."

Fellow Daoist Qin shook his head and smiled.

"Hold on."

"If you insist on going to Chaoyang Continent, it's not impossible."

"But it will be difficult for such a powerful person. Even if we go to Chaoyang Continent, I will find a way to escape."

"At that time, I will turn this Star Continent into a purgatory blood sea, hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, the two Void God realm experts frowned slightly.

After a long time, Fellow Daoist Qin finally spoke.

"How can you willingly follow us to Chaoyang Continent?"

"The Qingyun Merchant Sect is, after all, a merchant sect."

"Only when the situation is stable can we benefit."

"As long as you give me some time, I will ensure that Star Continent will be peaceful for a hundred years without any disputes."

"And once the matter here is resolved, without the need for the two Fellow Daoists to urge me, I will go to Chaoyang Continent on my own."

The green-robed cultivator pondered for a long time and, after communicating with Fellow Daoist Qin through voice transmission, said, "Alright, I will give you half a year to go to Chaoyang Continent on your own."

"If you exceed the time limit, even if you resist, you will have to go to Chaoyang Continent, otherwise you will meet a dead end."

Upon hearing this, the Saint Spirit Mountain Patriarch relaxed his brow slightly and sighed inwardly, "Good!"

...

Time flew by, and two to three months passed.

Inside the Qingyun Merchant Shop in Gongyue City.

The shopkeeper, Ren, found Lu Yu who was enjoying tea in a private room on the third floor.

After a slight greeting, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, the main building has received news that the chaos in Gongyue City can be resolved in at most another year."

"When the sect competition determines the winner and the situation stabilizes, we will also return to Poyun City."

Although Gongyue City was far from comparable to Poyun City, as the shopkeeper of the Poyun City shop, if he stayed in Gongyue City for too long, his annual salary would be canceled.

Moreover, it would be difficult to obtain the convenience of being the shopkeeper of the Qingyun Merchant Shop again.

But it would be different if he returned to Poyun City.

Poyun City had even hosted guest cultivators from the Heavenly Ji Sect in the past. Even if Lu Yu settled in Gongyue City in the future, the support for the shop would not be transferred.

With these supporting resources, the Qingyun Merchant Shop in Gongyue City would surely thrive. As the shopkeeper of Poyun City, he would naturally receive many cherished rewards.

Lu Yu's face also showed a complex expression upon hearing this.

After pondering for a moment, he smiled slightly and said,

"I hope that after the fall of Cloud Breaking City, there will be no more wars."

The shopkeeper nodded slightly and sighed, "Cloud Breaking City is where Fellow Daoist Lu made his name. If it weren't for the Holy Mountain Patriarch and the stable environment, I believe Fellow Daoist Lu would have stayed in Cloud Breaking City until the Nascent Soul stage."

"But now..."

After speaking, the shopkeeper seemed to feel that his words were inappropriate and quickly changed the subject, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Lu has any plans to return to Cloud Breaking City in the future?"

Lu Yu shook his head and said, "Since I have come to Gongyue City, the cultivation environment here is more relaxed and comfortable. There is no reason for me to return to Cloud Breaking City."

"But I will visit Cloud Breaking City more in the future, to reminisce about the past."

"After all, Cloud Breaking City is the homeland of several of my wives."

In the past, whether it was leaving the market outside the Holy Mountain or leaving Cloud Breaking City, he was forced to leave.

If the environment there is truly stable in the future, it would be fine to bring his wives back to visit.

Not only is it the homeland of his wives, but it is also where he shed sweat and started from nothing.

Especially during the chaos in Cloud Breaking City, many Foundation Building and even Core Formation cultivators were in danger. Even fighting within the city seemed common.

He didn't know what Cloud Breaking City looks like now.

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face showed a hint of regret.

Judging from Lu Yu's expression, it would be extremely difficult to persuade him to return to Cloud Breaking City.

This matter cannot be rushed. If Lu Yu returns to Cloud Breaking City in the future, there will be another chance to persuade him to stay.

The two of them chatted for a long time, filled with emotion.

Afterward, the shopkeeper took his leave.

As soon as the shopkeeper left, the other shopkeeper entered and paid his respects to Lu Yu.

After Lu Yu returned the gesture, the two of them sat down and chatted.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the gathering hosted by Daoist Zhaixing will begin in a few days."

"This is a jade slip that records the details of the gathering. Please accept it."

After receiving the jade slip handed over by the other shopkeeper, Lu Yu used his divine sense to scan it and then asked tentatively, "Shopkeeper Qi, can family members and partners accompany me to the gathering?"

Knowing about Qin Qingrou's small wish and rewarding her generously after it was fulfilled, Lu Yu naturally wanted to test whether he could bring his wives with him, even if it was just one of them.

But when Shopkeeper Qi heard this, he immediately looked troubled and said, "I'm afraid that won't be possible."

"Daoist Zhaixing is known to be quite traditional."

"His invitation to Fellow Daoist Lu this time was the result of my efforts."

Lu Yu's face showed a hesitant expression upon hearing this.

"If he goes alone, it would just be a formality and not very meaningful."

If he couldn't bring Qin Qingrou with him, it would be a waste of time.

Seeing Lu Yu's hesitant expression, Shopkeeper Qi quickly said, "How about I try to make some arrangements? If it doesn't work out, we can try to purchase qualifications to attend Daoist Zhaixing's gathering from other fellow cultivators who often go there."

Lu Yu smiled and said, "In that case, I'll trouble Shopkeeper Qi."

...

The next day.

In the hall of Lingxiao Daoist's immortal mansion.

Lu Yu was sipping tea and attentively listening to Lingxiao Daoist's explanation of the insights in the jade slip of Tianji Heart.

"In fact, the principle of generation and control is about transformation."

"Why do we need to transform the attributes of spiritual energy?"

"For one, even fire attribute spiritual energy can be divided into Bing Fire and Ding Fire, and even water attribute spiritual energy can be divided into Kui Water and Wu Water..."

While explaining, Lingxiao Daoist often demonstrated by spitting out fire or directly taking out materials.

He also let Lu Yu try it on the spot.

With such a detailed explanation process, as long as one wasn't a fool, they could quickly comprehend the true essence of it.
