"Young Manor Lord, is that true?"
Lu Ren asked.
"Of course it is. Consider it Zhao Tie's apology to you as well. The situation in the Ten Thousand Mounds River Region is extremely unstable now, and I hope you can let bygones be bygones!"
Qiu Wanzhen said with a smile.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Lu Ren immediately began looking through the resources in the treasury.
He had already had a purpose for this trip: to exchange for some Great Dao Pills for his father and mother, helping them enter the Dao-Severing Realm as soon as possible.
Then there were the materials for pill refinement, artifact refinement, and formations.
Lu Ren went straight to the area where pills were stored and swept away all the high-quality Great Dao Pills in stock, more than thirty in all.
Next, he headed to the area where the manuals were kept.
Books on formations, pill refinement, and artifact refinement—no matter how thick they were, no matter how obscure—he took down every one that could help the Three-Extremes Ancient Ancestor.

Lu Ren's goal was clear. He needed to provide the Three-Extremes Ancient Ancestor with sufficient cultivation materials so he could master the means of pill refinement and artifact refinement as soon as possible.
Like a swarm of locusts passing through, he gathered up every material that caught his eye.
The entire exchange process lasted more than half
