277: Yao Wu's message

Geng Feng left, but his visit to propose cooperation also indicated one thing.

Xian Yuan Pavilion is now becoming a sought-after commodity, eyed by many.

If it weren't for the identity of a Azure Origin Sect Inner Sect Disciple, the shop would likely face many more troubles.

In this era, having no background truly makes it difficult to move even an inch.

After seeing Geng Feng off, Wang Lang happened to arrive.

"Brother Zhou, I just saw that fellow Geng Feng. What did he want?"

Zhou Luo told him the whole story.

After listening, Wang Lang sneered, "As expected, so aloof. Seeing us make money, he wants to get close. Why didn't he think about making money when he was spending it?"

Zhou Luo heard a different meaning in his words. He asked curiously, "Spending what?"

Wang Lang explained, "You still don't know? This guy has spent who knows how much money over the past six months to please that woman Xu Tian."

"The funniest part is, this guy hasn't even succeeded yet, hahaha."

When talking about this matter, Wang Lang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Fortunately, this separate courtyard has a formation; otherwise, if it spread, Geng Feng might even have wanted to kill him.

Zhou Luo's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems the Cultivation World also doesn't lack simps.

And Xu Tian allowing the other party to spend money so openly is probably because of her failure in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill last time.

Previously, at that large auction, this woman spent a lot of money. Now it's only right for her to find a 'cash machine' to withdraw some money.

Such matters, Zhou Luo just treated as entertainment.

After all, it didn't concern him, so he stayed out of it.

Afterward, he talked to Wang Lang about the shop.

Due to the booming business, the shop was once in a state of shortage. He suggested whether they should find some Alchemists to cooperate with.

But Zhou Luo refused.

The reason Xian Yuan Pavilion's business was booming was because the Pills were refined by himself, so the quality could be guaranteed.

If other Alchemists provided the Pills, with inconsistent quality, it would only ruin the shop's reputation.

From the moment he chose this name, Zhou Luo planned to take the high-quality route.

"We can appropriately raise the prices a bit," Zhou Luo proposed a plan.

The brand effect had already been created. If he appropriately increased the price of the Pills, although other Immortals might complain, under the high quality, they would still choose to yield.

Wang Lang didn't refuse; after all, Zhou Luo was the biggest boss.

After seeing Wang Lang off, Zhou Luo began Pill Refining again.

He hadn't expected that after coming to Immortal City, he still couldn't escape the fate of Pill Refining.

However, to make money, these were minor matters.

Besides Pill Refining, he also took the time to craft some top-grade Talismans, which could also be sold in the shop.

Anyway, there weren't many, so he could just say they were accumulated over the years.

Days passed one by one. Three months later, through Dual Cultivation with Lin Xi, Zhou Luo finally stepped into the Qi Training stage, ninth level Late Stage.

And Lin Xi, with the help of the Dragon-Phoenix Union Art, also successfully broke through to the Qi Training stage, eighth level Late Stage.

It must be said, the Dual Cultivation Method of the ancient Joyful Union Dao is indeed powerful.

Lin Xi's previously damaged Foundation had also slowly recovered.

But for her health, Zhou Luo did not let her continue having children.

A few more days passed, and the four concubines who had previously conceived also gave birth to offspring successively.

【Congratulations to the host on the birth of the forty-first offspring, gaining fifty years of lifespan bonus!】

【Since this offspring possesses Six-Rank Spiritual Root, the host gains fifteen points of Aptitude!】

【Current Aptitude: Eighth-Rank Spiritual Root (267/500)】

...

【Congratulations to the host on the birth of the forty-fourth offspring, gaining sixty years of lifespan bonus!】

【Since this offspring possesses Fifth-Grade Spiritual Root, the host gains fifteen points of Aptitude!】

【Current Aptitude: Eighth-Rank Spiritual Root (322/500)】

...

Four children, two with Fifth-Grade Spiritual Root and two with Six-Rank Spiritual Root, all were middle-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root).

These four concubines were all women bought from Yaochi Pavilion, all with middle-grade Ling Gen (Spiritual Root). This result was not unexpected.

Zhou Luo looked at the Aptitude points. More than half of the progress bar towards breaking through to Seventh-Rank Spiritual Root had passed. He thought that in a few more years, he would be able to complete the Breakthrough.

Once he reached Seventh-Rank Spiritual Root, his Cultivation speed and the quality of his offspring's Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) should undergo a qualitative change.

With the birth of these four children, plus the previous four, there were already eight children in the separate courtyard.

For this, Zhou Luo specifically bought a few more maidservants.

However, this way, this separate courtyard was a bit insufficient to live in.

So Zhou Luo suggested bringing a few children back to Zhou Garden.

Lin Xi didn't refuse, because her mind wasn't on this matter. She looked at Zhou Luo with a worried expression and said, "The Family sent word that the battle situation is not very good. The Family has already lost two Spirit Mines and hopes we can go back to help."

Lin Xi still cared about the Family and couldn't bear to see the Family perish.

Zhou Luo naturally knew about this. Some time ago, Second Elder Lin Guangxuan had been sending messages to him, asking about his future plans.

Before Foundation Establishment, he certainly couldn't do anything, let alone the Lin Family's Foundation Establishment Expert had not yet made a move.

This meant that the situation had not yet deteriorated to a critical extent.

He took the opportunity to comfort her, "Don't worry, it's fine. I have my own plans. You should take these children back for a trip first."

Although Lin Xi leaving would temporarily prevent him from Dual Cultivation, to stabilize the Family, he still decided to let Lin Xi go back first and bring these children back as well.

Lin Xi nodded in agreement.

Three days later.

To prevent accidents on the way, Zhou Luo personally escorted her back home.

The changes at home were not significant, but there were fewer people. Most people had gone to the battlefield, leaving only some elderly, weak, women, and children.

There was no other way. This kind of Family destiny battle was originally a desperate struggle, a life-and-death situation.

It is estimated that Lin Tianxiong didn't expect the Lu Family's counterattack to be so vicious, nor did he expect the Wang Family to have internal strife at this critical juncture.

This led to the Lin Family being unable to withdraw even if they wanted to now. They could only grit their teeth and hold on, waiting for a turning point.

It is said that the Family Head Lin Tianxiong has entered seclusion, seemingly preparing for Foundation Establishment.

Once Foundation Establishment is successful, perhaps the Family can reverse the decline.

After safely sending Lin Xi back to Zhou Garden, Zhou Luo chatted with Lin Qinghan, who was in charge of managing the household, for a while. After roughly understanding the situation, he stayed for a few more days before hurrying back to Immortal City.

In the following days, he spent his days on Pill Refining, Talisman Crafting, and researching Gu technique, and his nights on these four concubines.

He strived to obtain more lottery opportunities, aiming to become a Second-Order Alchemist before finding Foundation Establishment Materials.

One day, the bright moon hung in the sky.

Zhou Luo had just finished dinner and was about to close his eyes to cultivate for a while when he suddenly received a message from Yao Wu.

The content was simple and clear, saying that she had found something related to Gu technique and asked him to come over.

Zhou Luo thought that anything related to Gu technique must be very important, so he personally went out and walked towards the separate courtyard opposite.
