Chapter 29: Yunyang Sect's Acquisition of the Collection

  "Sorry again for the late update, thanks."

  Lu Wushuang was taken aback, holding the Qingyue sword in his hand, watching Lu Shaoyou walk away, and could only follow him with confusion.

  "Lu Wushuang, next year I'll let you know who's stronger than whom." Yang Man gazed at Lu Wushuang with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

  "Shaoyou, why do you want to buy this Qingyue Sword? It's too expensive. How will you...?" After exiting the Tianbao Gate, Lu Wushuang worriedly said to Lu Shaoyou, this Qingyue Sword was 8,600 gold coins, not a small sum of money, even she couldn't afford it.

  "Lu Wushuang, I'll be fine, last time you lent me 50 gold coins, this time I'm giving you the Qingyue sword, consider it repaid. Don't worry about anything else, just like the Qingyue sword and that's all." Lu Shaoyou smiled faintly, having vowed in his heart last time to repay the favor of Lu Wushuang lending him 50 gold coins. However, with a calm tone, Lu Shaoyou's heart was actually filled with anxiety, having borrowed over 8,000 gold coins, when would he be able to repay it?

  "But this is too..." Lu Wushuang looked at the Qingyue sword in his hand, and then gazed at Lu Shaoyou, feeling delighted but also worried about him.

  Lu Shao's words made Lu Wushuang feel much more at ease, because she knew that her cousin had already become a spirit and was no longer the same cowardly young master he used to be.

  "Stop it, Wú Shuāng." Lù Shǎo Yóu interrupted Lù Wú Shuāng's words and asked: "Were those two people from the Wáng family and the Yáng family?"

  In his memory, Lu Shaoyou seemed to recall that Wang Liang and Yang Man were from the Wang and Yang families of Qingyun Town respectively. These two families, like the Lu family, were also among the top families in Qingyun Town and would not be inferior to the Lu family.

  "It's okay, they're just people from the Wang and Yang families, now they are also disciples of Yunyang Sect. After a while after the new year, I will return to Yunyang Sect, and it will be a long time before I can come back again." Lu Wushuang said.

  "Yunyang Sect..." Lu Shaoyou thought for a moment, and his impression of Yunyang Sect seemed to be very little. What he knew was that Yunyang Sect was the largest sect within the region, and even this Qingyun Town was also under Yunyang Sect's control. The Lu family, Wang family, Yang family, and other families all had to pay a large amount of gold coins to Yunyang Sect every year.

  "Shao You, in a year's time, after our clan's ancestral worship ceremony, there will be a martial arts competition. Will you participate?" Lu Wushuang said softly.

  "How can I participate, besides, I'm not even qualified to participate." Lu Shaoyou smiled slightly. Every year after the New Year, the Lu family would hold a competition among the young disciples in the clan. Those who performed well would receive special care from the clan. Every year after the New Year, the young generation of the Lu family's direct and legitimate lines would all be eager to try their luck.

  But Lu Shaoyou doesn't have this interest now, it's better for him to cultivate on his own and not expose his strength too much.

  "Let's go in, we're home." Lu Wushuang sighed faintly, and had actually forgotten that at this moment, her younger cousin seemed to have no intention of revealing his identity as a spirit master, so she would just pretend not to know.

  "En." Lu Shaoyou lightly responded with a single word, and the two had already walked all the way to the entrance of the Lu family's large gate.

  Staring at the thick gate of the Lu family, Lu Shaoyou smiled to himself and returned to his own courtyard. At this time, it was still early, just past noon.

  "Whoosh..."

  A small yellow snake crawled out of Lu Shao's sleeve, its round eyes staring at Lu Shao, with a long tongue sticking out of its mouth.

  "Little dragon, you're hungry again, okay, I'll find something for you to eat." Lu Shaoyou gazed at the small snake in his hand and helped it take on the name of Little Dragon, a name that was at least somewhat impressive.

  The little dragon seemed to understand Lu Shaoyou's words, nodding slightly and rubbing against his palm affectionately.

  Lu Shao brought Xiao Long to the back mountain, Xiao Long was very picky and would not eat dead animal carcasses, only eating live ones. Lu Shao had no choice but to bring it to the back mountain and let it forage on its own.

  "Go." When they arrived at the back mountain, Lu Shaoyou casually placed Xiaolong on the ground. Although Xiaolong's body was small, its speed was extremely fast and it instantly disappeared from sight.

  Lu Shao knew that Xiao Long would find food on his own and come back after eating, so he wasn't worried. He found a secluded spot, sat down cross-legged, and took out a Dan of the Crown.

  "Refining." The Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Arts he cultivated himself was fundamentally unable to be cultivated normally, Lu Shaoyou could only rely on elixirs to increase his cultivation strength.

  The elixir entered his body and instantly transformed into a surge of energy that spread throughout his entire being. Lu Shao-yu circulated the Yin-Yang Spiritual Martial Formula, beginning to refine the energy produced by the Top-grade Elixir.

  After breaking through to the Warrior, Lu Shao felt that the impact of the Top Grade Spirit Pill on himself had greatly diminished, and the help it provided to him had also decreased significantly.

  Refine this energy into true qi and enter the dantian qihai, Lu Shaoyou spent only two hours, but the increased true qi is almost an incomprehensible substantial progress for himself, and his own cultivation level is still at the first level of martial artist.

  "Hmm..." Lu Shaoyou lightly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air from his dantian, opened his eyes, and revealed a hint of distress. A Gravitational Dan worth 50 gold coins was useless to him at this moment.

  Lu Shao had already reached the warrior level, but in order to make progress, he needed to consume higher-level elixirs. However, this also meant that he would have to spend more gold coins, and with his current debt of 8,600 gold coins to Tianbao Gate, he was in for a tough time.

  "Whoosh...whoosh..." A whooshing sound was heard, and in an instant, the little dragon darted out from behind Lu Shaoyou's back and landed on his palm, gazing affectionately at him.

  "Are you full?" Lu Shaoyou said lightly. There was still a faint trace of blood on Xiaolong's mouth, and it seemed that he had just eaten a live creature.

  Xiao Long nodded and then crawled back into Lu Shao's sleeve, wrapping himself around Lu Shao's arm.

  After tidying up, Lu Shaoyou also left the back mountain, planning to sell the remaining Guanding Dan on his body tomorrow. The Guanding Dan he had on him now was of no use at all. Then, he should think of a way to refine second-grade elixirs. His current cultivation level could only be effective with second-grade elixirs. However, he had never refined second-grade elixirs before and didn't know if he would succeed.

  Lu Shao Yu returned to the courtyard through the back door again. Normally, his mother would have returned from the laundry room by this time, but today she still hadn't come back, and Lu Shao Yu felt a bit puzzled in his heart.

  "Go take a look." Lu Shaoyou decided to go to the laundry room to take a look and pick up his mother at the same time. Thinking that his mother still had to work in the laundry room, Lu Shaoyou felt a pang in his heart, wondering how long he would have to endure this before his mother could escape all of this.

  The Lu family laundry room is located in the left corner of the backyard. All the clothes from the front yard of the Lu family are brought here to be washed. There are more than 200 people in the front yard of the Lu family, but only about 10 people work in the laundry room. Working in the laundry room is relatively harder.

  "Roland, Master Shaohu's long gown, you'd better wash it clean. If you can't get it clean or if you damage it, you'll be in trouble." A haughty maid standing on the square said to Roland who was squatting on the ground scrubbing the clothes.
