Lu Yu sent a message to Yu Xiaoman, telling her that he had already returned to Beifeng City and that she didn't need to wait for him. Meanwhile, he contacted Guo Cunrui, Wang Dalong, and others to come to a secluded little tavern to pick up some items.

The demon disaster was about to end, with the source den, the demon cave, destroyed. Next up was the cleanup work. Since the demons were scattered everywhere, the cleanup would certainly take some time but would not be too long.

If he delayed any longer in delivering the demon-breaking series equipment to Wang Dalong and Guo Cunrui, it would seem like he was ripping them off. So Lu Yu hastily called them over to pick up the equipment to catch the tail end of the demon scavenging.

After quite a while, it was with the help of the guide No. 77 that Wang Dalong and Guo Cunrui managed to find the place. Conveniently, No. 77 also had something to discuss with Lu Yu and happened to run into the two real-world bigshots halfway there.

The two bigshots were also members of the Jianghu Bulletin and knew Lu Yu. Hence, they brought the two along with them.

They handed over the demon-breaking weapons and Evil-Slaying Spiritual Treasures to the two of them, a total of five outfits worth of equipment. They helped carry an extra set for three others who couldn't make it. Apart from the more specialized Evil-Slaying Treasure Pearl, the other equipment could be used even after the demon disaster ended.

These were high-grade equipment sufficient for use until the Qi-Gathering Stage, or even the Qi-Sea Stage.

Once they got the equipment and saw that No. 77 and Lu Yu had something to discuss, and since they were also eager to gain experience, they took their leave, heading out with the equipment to hunt demons and level up.

Sitting across from Lu Yu, Jianghu Bulletin's No. 77 placed the collected commissions on the table, having also prepared a list for Lu Yu to quickly browse through the requests.

Scanning through the list, Lu Yu realized that these commissions were indeed as valuable as he casually mentioned last time, all exceeding 100,000 gold pieces in value.

Most were fourth-grade spiritual weapons, third-grade Spiritual Treasures, third-grade spiritual armor. Some commissions were rather special, involving repairing spiritual armor and spiritual weapons.

Lu Yu pushed the list back, not touching the storage bag on the table. No. 77 was slightly startled; could it be he didn't want to collaborate anymore?

"Recently, I might be leaving Beifeng City for a while, so these commissions might not be possible to complete."

"However, it so happens that my senior brother has a batch of equipment he wants to deal with. I checked the list, and most of the requested equipment is included in my brother's batch."

Lu Yu purchased matching equipment from the marketplace and placed it in front of No. 77.

No. 77, upon realizing that Lu Yu wasn't planning to cut off the partnership but was just temporarily unavailable, breathed a sigh of relief.

By taking commissions through Lu Yu at the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Jianghu Bulletin had garnered a significant reputation among players. If the partnership with Lu Yu were suddenly severed, it would be a considerable loss for Jianghu Bulletin, and an even greater personal loss for No. 77.

He began examining the spiritual weapons and Spiritual Treasures Lu Yu laid out, finding that their attributes satisfied most player commission requirements and could, in fact, be used to fulfill the requests.

Most players commission the creation of Divine Soldiers or refinement of Spiritual Treasures because they can't find equipment with their preferred attributes. If they find equipment that meets their requirements, whether or not it was crafted from their provided materials doesn't matter much.

No. 77 agreed to trade with these pieces, and Lu Yu, on behalf of his senior brother, requested payment in Spirit Stones. No. 77 also agreed, as exchanging these items for corresponding Spirit Stones was not difficult for Jianghu Bulletin.

Some commissions couldn't be completed, and Jianghu Bulletin had no choice but to abandon them.

As No. 77 was pondering how to explain this to the clients, Lu Yu brought out a large pile of low-grade spiritual weapons, low-grade Spiritual Treasures, and low-grade spiritual armor.

Seeing the table piled with equipment, No. 77's eyes almost popped out in shock, saying, "Are all these crafted by your senior brother?"

"These were made by my senior brother a long time ago, and they've been sitting in the warehouse without a chance to be disposed of. When he found out I had a way to sell these, he asked me to help him deal with them," Lu Yu explained earnestly.

Seeing the equipment on the table, No. 77 realized he wouldn't need to come up with excuses or reasons; bringing these back would naturally attract swarms of players.

Low-grade spiritual weapons were one thing, but a pile of low-grade Spiritual Treasures and spiritual armor was truly astounding.

The standard player equipment setup was: 1 spiritual weapon + 1 piece of spiritual armor + several attribute-useful Spiritual Treasures.

But in reality, most players only had spiritual weapons, and very few could complete the set with spiritual armor and Spiritual Treasures.

There were two main reasons: First, spiritual armor wore out faster than spiritual weapons. Typically, after a fierce battle, spiritual armor is declared useless, meaning having to replace or repair it.

So, there was always a demand-supply gap for spiritual armor.

The second reason was its cost! Spiritual armor was typically two to three times more expensive than spiritual weapons, making frequent replacements unaffordable. Players had to find a durable, high-quality spiritual armor.

Spiritual Treasures were generally not needed because most of them had functions that players didn't require, so the number of Spiritual Treasures a player owned was limited.

The Spiritual Treasures needed by players were those aiding in combat or survival, whereas most available in shops were auxiliary ones like the Dust Avoidance Pearl, Luminous Pearl, Burning Fire Fan... Very few could directly enhance combat power.

Lu Yu provided combat-related Spiritual Treasures and rare protective ones, which was why No. 77 was so shocked.
