29: go home

Zhou Luo's High Grade Five Grains Pill brought no small amount of shock to those present.

In the end, he obtained twenty-one points.

Among the seven Alchemists, he ranked fourth and successfully earned the opportunity to study at the Azure Origin Sect.

Lin Zhishou was extremely excited.

It had been a long time since anyone in their Family had obtained the opportunity to study Alchemy at an Immortal Sect.

After returning to the tavern, he called Zhou Luo into his room.

"Not bad, not bad. Your performance this time was very good."

Upon entering the door, the aged face of Lin Zhishou, who was sitting on a chair, beamed with joy as he spoke incessantly.

"It is all thanks to Uncle Shou's guidance," Zhou Luo said modestly.

"I certainly did not teach you how to refine High Grade Medicinal Pills. Where did you learn it?" Lin Zhishou asked.

Zhou Luo had long been prepared for this and said seriously, "You asked us to peruse ancient Alchemy texts; I happened to see it, and I did not expect to succeed on my first attempt today."

"Truly your first time?" Lin Zhishou stared at him.

Zhou Luo replied without changing his expression, "Yes, Uncle Shou. I would not dare to lie to you."

"Good, good, good. You are truly a studious child. No wonder you were able to take first place in the written exam; that brat Lin Nian cannot compare to you," Lin Zhishou sighed with emotion.

Without waiting for Zhou Luo to speak, the elated Lin Zhishou said, "Let's go. Today I will treat you to a good meal. Order whatever you want."

"Then I will thank Uncle Shou," Zhou Luo said with a smile.

He had heard that the top-tier spirit food at Tianxia Tavern had great benefits for Cultivators.

Since there was an opportunity, he had to make Lin Zhishou pay a hefty price.

At the dining table, Lin Zhishou kept praising Zhou Luo's talent, making Lin Nian, who was sitting nearby, feel restless.

Zhou Luo was also very happy and kept offering toasts.

The only flaw was.

Entering the Green Mountain Sect to study would require waiting for two more years.

Because it was not just the craft of Alchemy that was screening for talent; all other crafts were the same.

Therefore, one could only enter the Immortal Sect to study after all personnel had been finalized.

The next day, Lin Zhishou gave Zhou Luo a day off and gave him thirty Spirit Stones, telling him to have a good look around Panshi City.

Zhou Luo did not really have the heart to wander around, as he had already sold those High Grade Medicinal Pills.

But since he was already here, he might as well take a look.

It was just a coincidence that he encountered Wang Yuwei on the street again.

This time, Wang Yuwei was accompanied by another young man, who was likely also a descendant of the Wang Family.

"Zhou Luo, I see you again," Wang Yuwei said, her beautiful eyes flashing when she saw him.

"That's right, what a coincidence," Zhou Luo said with a smile.

At this moment, the Wang Family descendant also cupped his hands and said, "Wang Chenghao."

Zhou Luo nodded in greeting.

"Zhou Luo, you are here to buy things, right?" Wang Yuwei suddenly asked.

"Yes," Zhou Luo replied.

"Then let's go together." Unexpectedly, Wang Yuwei issued an invitation directly.

Zhou Luo looked at her, knowing she was still thinking about yesterday's events, and initially wanted to refuse.

However, the look in her eyes clearly indicated she had something to say to him.

In the end, he agreed.

While the three were wandering around, taking advantage of the moment Wang Chenghao was picking out items, Wang Yuwei quietly moved closer and asked in a low voice, "Are you really not going to consider it?"

"I am just a small Matrilocal Son-in-law," Zhou Luo said rather helplessly.

"As long as you tell me, I can offer an exchange," Wang Yuwei said, looking at Wang Chenghao over there.

"Exchange with what?"

Zhou Luo could not help but size her up, lost in thought.

It seemed her Spiritual Root should be quite good; he wondered if she would give birth to children with even higher Aptitude.

"Information about the Immortal Sect." Unexpectedly, Wang Yuwei said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing the words "Immortal Sect," Zhou Luo's heart trembled, and his eyes became filled with longing.

Before he could speak, Wang Yuwei said quickly, "This is my second time entering the Immortal Sect to study, so I know many things, including some that would be beneficial to you."

This exchange was indeed very attractive.

But Zhou Luo could not trust her just like that.

He pondered and said, "I cannot give you the refining method, but I can exchange Azure Water Pills with you."

"Yuwei, are you not buying anything?" At this moment, Wang Chenghao suddenly looked over.

Wang Yuwei smiled and said, "No need, you go ahead and buy."

Taking advantage of the gap while Wang Chenghao went to pay, she nodded and said, "I want at least twenty Azure Water Pills."

"Twenty?"

Zhou Luo's eyelids twitched.

"You certainly dare to ask."

"Rest assured, that information is definitely worth these Medicinal Pills," Wang Yuwei said with certainty.

"Fine, it's a deal." Zhou Luo ultimately did not refuse.

Anyway, refining Azure Water Pills was no pressure for him at all.

If he could exchange this for benefits from the Immortal Sect, it was completely worth it.

The deal was struck. Zhou Luo found an excuse to leave, then went to purchase a large batch of medicinal herbs for refining Azure Water Pills before returning to the tavern.

One day later, he was finally about to set off for home.

Seven days later, Zhou Luo saw the massive city of Maple Leaf City once again.

The flying boat landed, and he headed straight for his courtyard.

"Brother Zhou?"

At this moment, a familiar voice called out to him.

Zhou Luo looked and saw that it was none other than Xu Changsheng.

However, he now had a severed arm, stubble on his face, and appeared a bit more decadent.

"Brother Xu." Zhou Luo cupped his hands in salute; upon catching a glimpse of his severed arm, he felt a bit guilty in his heart.

"I heard you went to participate in the Spirit Pill Gathering. How did it go?" Xu Changsheng asked curiously.

"It was alright. Brother Xu, what about this injury of yours?" Zhou Luo asked hesitantly.

Xu Changsheng smiled freely, "It does not matter. As long as I can remain in the Family, I am already content."

"Regarding the previous matter, I really had no other choice," Zhou Luo explained.

Unexpectedly, Xu Changsheng patted his shoulder, "I know, it's fine. At least I saved my life."

After the two chatted briefly for a few sentences, Zhou Luo hurried back to the courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, Zhou Luo said happily, "I'm back."

"Husband, you're back." Lin Yiyi was the first to appear, her face still wearing that sweet smile.

She walked over quickly and hugged Zhou Luo, "Husband, I missed you so much."

Shortly after, Lin Zier and Lin Feiying also appeared one by one, coming to his side.

"Husband, you must be hungry. I'll go cook for you." Lin Feiying said, turning to walk towards the kitchen.

Since giving birth, Lin Feiying had once again taken charge of the kitchen; she seemed to have an inexplicable interest in creating delicious food.

Lin Zier stared at him, a hint of tenderness spreading across her pure face.

"Where is Qinghan?" Zhou Luo noticed Lin Qinghan was not there and asked in confusion.

"Sister Qinghan is cultivating in the Spirit Vein Blessed Land," Lin Yiyi said in a muffled voice.

"Are you still not letting go?" Zhou Luo chuckled.

Lin Yiyi then let go and stepped aside; she asked with a smile, "Husband, have you been looking in the mirror every day?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Luo was speechless.

"Yes, of course I have." The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

In the dining room, enjoying the food made by Lin Feiying once again, Zhou Luo felt a wave of nostalgia.

This was much more delicious than any Bigu Pill or Five Grains Pill.

Sure enough, while cultivating, enjoying life was unavoidable.

Through Lin Yiyi, he also learned that Lin Lan was about to give birth in a while.

He was about to have his sixth child.

At night, Zhou Luo was planning to sleep.

Lin Yiyi pushed open the bedroom door, her eyes and brows smiling as she said, "Husband, are you sleeping alone?"

Zhou Luo smiled faintly, "Come in."

"Then we are coming in, oh," Lin Yiyi said.

"We?" Zhou Luo asked in confusion, and then he saw Lin Feiying and Lin Zier following into the room.

Well then, as soon as he returned, he would have to battle three women.
