Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 172: Nursing Core Formation Visits

Before leaving, I received earnest advice from a senior.

During this celebration banquet for Fellow Daoist Lu's Foundation Building, there may also be participation from senior Nascent Soul cultivators, who are also seniors within the Qingyun Shangmen.

In this case, we must be careful.

Although Innkeeper Ren is a Foundation Building cultivator, he is the shopkeeper of the Qingyun Store, and his status is superior unless it is wartime.

Even ordinary guest cultivators of the third rank must show respect when they see him.

He is the rightful choice to organize the Foundation Building celebration banquet for Lu Yu, the esteemed guest cultivator of Tianji.

Of course, there is also a list of cultivators participating in the Foundation Building celebration banquet that he needs to confirm with Lu Yu.

"Innkeeper Ren, your willingness to help this time is a great favor to me."

Lu Yu bowed and smiled.

Innkeeper Ren also returned the gesture and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Lu is an esteemed guest cultivator of our sect, so I should be at your service."

"Please, Fellow Daoist Lu, don't be so polite."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's expression froze as he said, "In that case, I have a few old friends whom I would like Innkeeper Ren to inform in advance."

"I have a close relationship with Senior Ye from Shengling Mountain, but the journey from Shengling Mountain to Poyun City is far. I don't know if Senior Ye can make it in time."

Innkeeper Ren smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu is already a Foundation Building cultivator and has an equal relationship with Senior Ye. Otherwise, Senior Ye would blame me for not understanding etiquette and not reminding Fellow Daoist in advance."

"In that case, please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Lu. I will definitely notify him in advance so that he can come in time."

"But as for Senior Yao..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu sighed and said, "I have also heard a bit about it."

"It seems that Senior Yao took his new Foundation Building disciples and went to the core area of the Demon Sect for training."

"Now, even if I want to notify him, it's probably difficult to reach him."

Innkeeper Ren replied, "Fellow Daoist Lu, the news you have is three months old."

"Senior Yao returned to Jingguo two months ago."

"He is currently hunting spirit beasts in the mountains on the border of Jingguo. Notifying him is not a problem."

"If he knows that Fellow Daoist Lu has successfully built his foundation, he will definitely be willing to return to Poyun City and bring his disciples to the banquet."

Lu Yu understood what Innkeeper Ren meant.

If Senior Yao attends the banquet, he will probably bring his disciples with him.

Thinking of how Senior Yao had specifically asked his disciples to toast him at the Wangsha Tower before, Lu Yu immediately smiled and said, "Of course, Senior Yao's junior is my friend."

They also discussed many arrangements for the Foundation Building celebration banquet before Innkeeper Ren and his companion left.

Not long after they left, a white light flashed in the courtyard's teleportation array.

There are specialized cultivators in the Qingyun Store responsible for escorting valuable items for the exchange meeting.

They are different from the cooperating cultivators in this city and come from other places in Xingzhong Continent.

Or they are sent by more advanced stores.

Their work is not limited to escorting valuable items but also includes escorting important individuals.

For example, they are responsible for evaluating other cultivators who are guest cultivators of Tianji.

But Lu Yu was not aware of these things before, as he could only learn many secrets through the identity of a guest cultivator of Tianji.

The selection of cultivators to escort valuable items is more stringent, but the treatment is more generous than that of ordinary tasks.

The most basic requirement is to have the Foundation Establishment cultivation base.

After the white light of the teleportation array disappeared, a graceful yet young-looking female cultivator appeared.

When Lu Yu approached the teleportation array, he immediately felt a strong spiritual pressure and quickly restrained himself.

He felt a little intimidated, but his gaze involuntarily swept over the young-looking female cultivator.

She was wearing a light-colored floral robe today, and a hint of pink lining was visible under the loose collar.

Her face was carefully groomed, and there were two soft and smooth ponytails behind her head.

Her tender temperament is simply unbelievable for someone who has already reached the Nascent Soul stage and lived for over a hundred years.

"I am Lu Yu, respectfully welcoming Senior."

Lu Yu hurriedly bowed.

Upon hearing this, the young female cultivator smiled slightly and said in a charming manner, "My name is Ni Shang."

"I apologize for coming uninvited. I hope Fellow Daoist won't mind."

"Senior Ni, I wouldn't dare. It is my honor to have you visit my humble abode."

"Please, come inside."

The two of them went upstairs to a small hall.

After Lu Yu brewed a pot of spiritual tea, they sat down and drank tea together.

After drinking the spiritual tea, Ni Shang raised her head and looked around the small hall for a moment.

The furnishings in the small hall were simple, mostly tables and chairs. The only decoration was a wooden shelf with a few scattered items.

After looking for a while, she turned her beautiful eyes towards Lu Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, the decoration in this small hall is simple, but the spiritual energy here is slightly lacking."

Lu Yu saw her gaze and his face remained calm, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Ni Shang's exquisite figure.

With such a tender appearance and such a figure, it was indeed an incredible charm for ordinary male cultivators.

"This is just a humble room, naturally it cannot meet the standards of a senior. But for me, it is enough."

Upon hearing this, Ni Shang's lips curled up slightly. After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, she smiled and said, "As a guest cultivator of the Tianji Sect in the Qingyun Merchant Gate, how could I consider myself a senior?"

"Even in the Jingguo region, the Broken Cloud City, there are people who reach the Gold Core stage every once in a while."

"But a guest cultivator of the Tianji Sect is a rare occurrence, once in a hundred years or even a thousand years."

"Someone like Fellow Daoist Lu, who has reached the Nascent Soul stage, is not beyond reach."

"How can a humble room like this match Fellow Daoist's status?"

Lu Yu didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Even though what Fellow Daoist Ni Shang said was true.

But when facing a cultivator at a higher level than himself, he wanted to maintain humility as much as possible.

After all, even if the cultivation level of a Gold Core cultivator was lower, their means and abilities were not something a Foundation Building cultivator like him could measure.

As for the Nascent Soul stage that Ni Shang mentioned, it was too far away for him at the moment.

The huge amount of pills required, the special compatibility with the cultivation technique, and the various opportunities, none of them could be obtained easily.

Although the Qingyun Merchant Gate had opened convenient doors for Lu Yu, he didn't dare to have any lucky thoughts.

Being low-key had always been his way of doing things.

Seeing that Lu Yu didn't respond, Ni Shang continued to smile and said, "Fellow Daoist, if you don't mind, I know of a mansion closer to the center of the spiritual spring."

"It is not only more spacious, but also has more abundant spiritual energy. It is almost the best place in Broken Cloud City."

Lu Yu heard this and quickly shook his head to refuse, "I dare not even think about such a mansion."

"That should be the residence of senior cultivators in the Gold Core stage."

Ni Shang stood up and paced back and forth in the small hall, occasionally walking behind Lu Yu.

After a while, she leisurely said, "Actually, Fellow Daoist Lu doesn't need to rush to refuse."

"The sect that manages Broken Cloud City now has a deep cooperation with our Qingyun Merchant Gate."

"You just need to send invitations for a Foundation Building celebration to the two Gold Core cultivators in Broken Cloud City, and the rent for the mansion can be waived."

"And, even if Fellow Daoist Lu is willing to endure hardships, are you willing to squeeze into this small mansion with your wives and concubines?"

"Furthermore, this is also convenient for the Fairy Wan Yue who is with Fellow Daoist Lu."

Lu Yu heard this and gradually became somewhat tempted.
