"Whizzing"
Under the setting sun, a group of people flew from afar and slowly approached the Zixia Mountains.
"This is the "Holy Land of Loose Cultivators"?"
Cyan paused for a moment, and Liu Yu gazed into the distance.
I saw a stretch of mountains in the distance, one after another light rising and falling, shuttling between the mountains at a leisurely pace.
Or in twos and threes, or alone.
Even the relatively rare "Spirit Ship", there are dozens of ships coming in and out at a glance, very lively.
Pieces of antique buildings are looming in the major spiritual mountains, and monks of all kinds are active in them, full of human fireworks.
Here, there is no need to worry about the pursuit of Qianting Holy Land for the time being, it is like a paradise.
Looking around, among the thousands of spiritual mountains, "Zixia Mountain" is the most majestic, reaching an astonishing height of [-] feet.
It's like following the Dinghaishenzhen, standing tenaciously in the sky and the earth, giving people enough confidence.
With Liu Yu's keen spiritual sense, he could clearly sense countless auras, strong or weak, ranging from Qi refining to Yuanying's cultivation.
"So many casual cultivators gather here."
"Worthy of being the "Sacred Land of Loose Cultivators"."
"Let's go."
After observing silently for a while, Liu Yu smiled slightly and said to Zhuo Mengzhen.
After speaking, Duan Guang moved, and continued to fly forward, and it didn't take long before he officially entered the "Zixia Mountains".
"Whizzing"
With the identity token of the Commoner League, the three of Liu Yu easily entered the Zixia Mountains without any hindrance.
And on the fourth-level "Hongxia Mountain", he rented a third-level cave, and quickly settled down here.
The realm of the Golden Core stage is considered a well-known master among casual cultivators, so the three of them did not encounter the legendary "dog's eyes look down on people" bridge, and everything went relatively smoothly.
……
As time goes by, a year passes quickly.
"Staff, I want two bottles of "Refining Qi Powder" next time!"
A foundation-building cultivator with a beard on his face walked quickly into an antique shop and shouted at the shop assistant from a distance.
This shop is called "Yu Dan Tang", and it is a newly opened shop, mainly selling pills.
Because the price is right, but in just one year, it has already gained a good reputation among the nearby spiritual mountains, and basically does not worry about the source of tourists.
"Okay, senior, please wait a moment, two bottles of "Refining Qi Powder" will arrive soon."
Only the clerk at the level of Qi Refining was very enthusiastic, and immediately went to the back room to inform the steward Jianji after speaking.
A clerk like him is only responsible for accompanying the customer, and telling the price and efficacy of the elixir when the customer consults.
Although the Lianqi powder has the word "refining Qi", it is actually a second-order elixir, which is suitable for taking during the foundation building period.
There is a saying that "refining Qi turns Qi, refining Qi restores spirit".
The two realms of refining qi and building a foundation are still in the category of "refinement and transformation of qi", so there is nothing wrong with calling it "refining qi powder".
However, it is quite normal for monks who don't understand it to mistake it for a first-order elixir.
"The owner of this "Yu Dan Tang" is really amazing. It has been less than a year since the shop opened, and it is already well-known in Hongxia Mountain."
"It is rumored that the establishment of this store will affect the business of other pill stores, but it is easily resolved by its owner."
"Afterwards, I never dare to trouble Yudantang again."
During the short waiting time, Hu Zhuji glanced around, looking at the situation of Yudantang.
After a quick scan, he found that among the guests coming and going, there were five or six monks who established the foundation alone, and more than a dozen monks who refined Qi, and the business was booming.
Without keeping this person waiting for a long time, the steward of building foundation soon walked out from the back room, exchanged polite greetings and handed over two bottles of "Qi Refining Powder".
Pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, with a few words, a deal was concluded in this way.
On the third floor of Yudan Hall, Zhang Yi looked at the booming business of the store and couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction.
Then he walked towards the fourth floor of the shop and wanted to report some situations to Master.
Liu Yu has also thought carefully about opening a shop.
After coming to the Zixia Mountains, he found that the environment here is very suitable for cultivation. As a super-large gathering place for immortal cultivators, the resources for cultivating immortals here are also very rich.
Although it can't be compared with "Shenjing", it is enough to meet the current needs, and as a "sacred place for casual practice", the management is much looser than that of "Shenjing", and it is free to come and go.
After careful consideration, Liu Yu planned to stay in the Zixia Mountains for a long time to practice.
Open a shop, one can sell pills openly and aboveboard, without sneaking around.
There are more spirit stones in hand than ordinary monks, so there is a reasonable explanation.
The second is that you can collect all kinds of spiritual herbs openly. After all, it is normal for alchemists to collect spiritual herbs for alchemy.
With the support of the Zijin Army, the Commoner League and other people from all walks of life, Liu Yu successfully solved the challenge of building a store, and got his own piece of cake, which can be regarded as the foundation under the Zixia Mountains.
As in the past, he made a few batches of low-level pills by himself at the beginning to gain a reputation, and then the refining of first- and second-tier pills was basically handed over to the recruited low-level alchemists.
Liu Yu's success rate in refining third-tier high-grade spirit pills has reached more than [-]%, so it can be said that he has the qualifications to hit the "master of alchemy".
With alchemy attainment close to that of a master, coupled with the price not lower than the market, he promised to give advice on alchemy every two years, and he easily recruited several low-level alchemists.
Since then, Liu Yu has withdrawn his hands, only occasionally asking about the situation of Yudantang.
The day-to-day management is handed over to the shopkeeper recruited from the Foundation Establishment Stage.
As for the personal disciple Zhang Yi, he is in charge of supervising the work, so as to avoid the private use of public equipment.
After all, when he reached the Golden Core realm, he needed to accumulate more mana, and he didn't have that much energy at all, so he kept paying attention to some mundane things.
The same is true of Zhuo Mengzhen.
Only when there are Jindan customers, will this woman come forward to entertain her personally.
As the hostess of the "Jade Pill Hall", coupled with their own mid-Gold Core cultivation base and the background of the "Commoner League", most Golden Core cultivators have to be polite.
The daily management is carried out by the recruited foundation-building monks, while Zhuo Mengzhen and Zhang Yi are responsible for entertaining high-ranking monks and supervising the daily operations of Yudan Hall, asking questions every once in a while.
In this way, Liu Yu completely freed up his hands, devoted most of his energy to cultivation, and became a hands-off shopkeeper in charge of collecting spirit stones.
Only occasionally when he was in a good mood did he refine a few furnaces of third-order panacea.
After all, the spirit grass used to refine the third-order panacea is relatively rare, and if there are too many of them on the market, it is obviously abnormal.
In the trip to the Heishan Immortal Prison, after killing nine golden elixir guards and disposing of the spoils, Liu Yu did not lack spirit stones, so naturally he was not in a hurry to sell the elixir.
As long as the spirit stone is enough for daily practice, he does not blindly pursue the increase of spirit stone.
……
"dong dong"
Walking to the fourth floor of Yudan Hall, Zhang Yi knocked on the door on the left, and then waited quietly with his hands down.
"Come in."
Soon, there was a calm and indifferent voice in the room.
"squeak"
"Disciple Zhang Yi, pay respects to Master!"
Gently opening and closing the door, Zhang Yi quickly walked to the table, and then bowed to salute.
"Ah."
Liu Yu nodded lightly, motioning for him to sit aside, and then asked:
"Is there anything unusual in the store recently?"
He only came to Yudan Hall occasionally to send a few bottles of third-order pills, and usually stayed in the cave to practice.
"Master, everything in the shop is normal and nothing unusual happened."
Zhang Yi thought for a while, then quickly replied.
"However, Senior Guo sent someone to inform that he would visit Master again in three days."
After hesitating for a while, he continued to speak.
This was already the second visit this month and the fifth visit this year. Zhang Yi could vaguely guess what Guo Poyun meant.
However, regarding the matter of the Purple Scarf Army and the Commoner League, Liu Yu had no intention of involving this son.
The foundation building stage is still too low, and it is insignificant in any organization. Apart from daily practice, Zhang Yi just helps to look at the store
"Ah."
Picking up the spirit tea and taking a sip, Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully.
Immediately, he began to teach Zhang Yi how to practice and to answer some questions about his practice.
Using other people's money to do things for others, he, Liu, has always been innocent.
So these years of giving advice on cultivation has not been perfunctory, and the cultivation problems encountered by this disciple can basically be answered.
After all, if the talent of Tianlinggen is cultivated well, it will be a useful help in the future.
As the first personal disciple, Liu Yu passed on the "Qingyang Kung Fu" after much thought.
Let Zhang Yi make a choice between passing down the exercises in his family and "Qingyang Gong".
There is no doubt that the Zhang family, as a Huashen family that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, will not lack the skills that can directly reach the Huashen, which is higher and more mature than the "Qingyang Gong".
After all, a monk who has perfected the "Qingyang Kungfu" can only reach the Nascent Soul Consummation at the highest level, and can only complete the Nascent Soul Realm at most.
Regarding the content of Huashen, it is just some conjectures, which are still on paper.
However, the Zhang family's family-inherited exercises can lead directly to the Dao of Transforming Gods.
However, Zhang Yi chose "Qingyang Kung Fu" almost without thinking about it, which Liu Yu appreciated.
The more profound the technique is, the harsher the cultivation conditions are, and some very rare and key resources are needed in the cultivation process.
Without the washing and transformation of these key resources, you may be stuck at a certain step and never be able to complete the promotion.
If it was the Zhang family in the past, it would certainly not be a problem to collect these resources, and it is only natural to choose family-inherited exercises.
But after the "Battle of Lingwu City", the ancestor of the Zhang family Huashen disappeared.
The elite members suffered heavy casualties, and they still had to face the sweeping of hostile forces from within the Qianting Court. Right now, the building has collapsed and plummeted.
Already unable to collect those rare key resources for it.
During these years, through contact with Zhang Ziping, Liu Yu also knew some things more or less.
Facing the hostile forces within Qianting, the remaining monks of the Zhang family were found one after another even though their names had been hidden.
Immediately, it disappeared without a sound.
Seven years ago, Liu Yu lost contact with Zhang Ziping, and it is not known whether this person is alive or dead.
As for Zhang Yi's communication jade card, Zhang Tao left only a few contact information for his safety, and lost contact one by one over the years.
In this case, this child naturally knows how to choose.
At least when practicing Qingyang Kungfu, if you encounter some problems in cultivation, you can always ask the master for advice, which will bring the relationship between master and student closer.
Moreover, without the need for too rare resources, the future road can be a little smoother.
Qingyang Kungfu is of the fire attribute, which coincides with the attribute of this child's spiritual root, and it is not considered to be reluctant.
The most important thing is that Zhang Yi has witnessed Liu Yu's shots several times.
The strength enough to rank in the top ten of the real person list shocked his little heart deeply, so he was more determined when he chose.
"Slightly" revealing the prospect of Qingyang Gong, of course, Liu Yu did it on purpose.
This kills two birds with one stone. It can fulfill Zhang Tao's promise to take care of Zhang Yi, and it can also be regarded as fulfilling the conditions of "Kongqing Daoist" to find a successor for Qingyangmen.
Of course, just passing down the exercises, no matter from any point of view, it can't be regarded as a successor.
If he has time in the future and meets a child with suitable conditions, Liu Yu may also accept another direct disciple.
After all, in order to deduce "Qingyang Gong", he spent a lot of effort.
Although the goal is immortality, but even if it is refining the power, it cannot be immortal, so Liu Yu will not be arrogant, and he will definitely be able to do it.
If there is such a day, he naturally does not want the exercises he worked so hard to deduce to be buried in the long river of history.
This point is consistent with the last wish of "Real Man Kong Qing", except that what will be passed down at that time will be the new version of "Qingyang Gong".
"The way of cultivating immortals is by no means a simple closed-door practice. It is difficult to achieve great achievements by working behind closed doors."
"Even if it is a piece of rough jade, it needs to be carefully carved before it can become a "big tool"."
After pointing out the cultivation problem, Liu Yu said deeply.
"Master means"
Doubt flashed across his face, Zhang Yi got up and saluted, then asked cautiously.
"In the middle stage of foundation establishment, coupled with the excellent magic weapon, it can be regarded as having a certain amount of self-protection power. It's time to go out and experience it."
"Among the Zixia Mountains, there are quite a few places where missions are issued."
"Although you don't lack training resources, you still need to accept tasks to practice and practice."
"Look carefully, this world of cultivating immortals."
Sitting on the grand teacher's chair, Liu Yu said slowly.
Where there is a demand, there will be a market. There are monks who have no shortage of spirit stones in Zixia Mountains every day. For one reason or another, there are some things that need help from others or do it for them.
Every day, there will be a large number of tasks issued.
So over time, a group of monks who earned spirit stones by completing tasks to meet their daily practice came into being.
"Yes, disciple understands!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately saluted.
In these years, because of safety considerations, he has been restricted from leaving a certain range of the cave.
Although I know it is for my own good, the feeling of being restricted for a long time is not very good.
Now that the restrictions are finally lifted and he can move freely, how can this child not be excited?
"Receive the task, you must do what you can, every time you need to agree with me before you can go to execute it."
"Also, the heart of defense is indispensable, and you must be cautious during the task."
Liu Yu nodded lightly, gave some instructions, and made the somewhat excited Zhang Yi back down.
Zhang Tao has already prepared a lot for the hole cards, so there is no need for him to give extra gifts at this time.
But just to be on the safe side, in order to prevent myself, my direct disciple, from dying unexpectedly halfway through.
Liu Yu still intends to let the spirit beast follow secretly and act as a "guardian".
Reaching the middle stage of the third order, Xiaoqing has already opened up her spiritual wisdom.
In addition, he has been in the world of human immortal cultivation all year round, and he knows the rules of the open and the dark under the influence of his ears and eyes, which is enough to undertake the "heavy task" of protecting the Tao.
As long as you don't encounter too strong opponents, protecting a little foundation cultivator is not a problem.
"Yes, Master."
"Disciple retire!"
Excited Zhang Yi, after saluting respectfully, stepped back and opened the door to leave Yudan Hall.
In the room, only Liu Yu was left alone, silently checking the accounts of Yudantang.
……
"Guo Poyun's visit this time, if nothing unexpected happens, he should still lobby for his joining the Purple Scarf Army."
"It's just that the mission of the Heishan Immortal Prison is over, and the "Peiying Pill", one of the three baby-forming treasures, has already been obtained. At this time, it seems that it is not a wise choice to join the Purple Scarf Army?"
"After all, the cultivation environment in Zixia Mountains is very stable, so there is no need to worry about the threat from Qianting Holy Land for the time being."
"And with the experience of the previous "Commoneral League", you can easily integrate into the casual cultivator group, and you don't need to fight any more."
"Furthermore, as an alchemist, what's the point of fighting and killing?"
After checking the accounts of Yudantang and thinking about Guo Poyun's frequent visits, thoughts flashed in Liu Yu's mind.
In the mission of Heishan Immortal Prison, he can be said to have turned the tide.
If he lacked himself, relying on Guo Poyun, Liao Yunxi and others alone, under the numerous traps in the Immortal Prison, there is a high probability that the entire army will be wiped out.
So after understanding the situation, True Monarch Hanmei tried her best to reject all opinions and offered "Peiying Pill" as a reward.
Correspondingly, the rewards for Guo Poyun, Liao Yunxi and others were much reduced.
After that battle, Yuanying Elder Ming Jing rebelled, exposing many secrets of the Commoner League.
The Commoner League suffered a devastating blow, and more than [-]% of the core members were killed or injured.
If Master Qingshui hadn't sacrificed himself, the headquarters would have been kept in the dark, and they might be uprooted!
Even so, under the successive thunder strikes from Qianting Holy Land, the Commoner League was still seriously injured.
There were only about [-] core members left, countless casualties among the peripheral members who refined Qi and established foundations, and only three Yuanying elders were left, completely reduced to a low-level force.
Not long after the remnant monks met in the Zixia Mountains, they decided to join the Zijin Army again.
And after the "Peiying Pill" was obtained, Liu Yu, the three baby-forming treasures, had already collected two kinds.
Some relatively common baby-forming spirits can already be collected with a thousand-year-old spirit grass, a third-level spirit pill, a large number of spirit stones, etc., and it will take some time to collect them.
Coupled with his previous experience, he has been able to live in the Zixia Mountains for a long time as a casual cultivator.
As a result, he naturally didn't want to join the Purple Scarf Army and confront Qianting Holy Land head-on, which was not in his interest.
Therefore, Liu Yu refused to report to the Purple Scarf Army under the pretext of "concentrating on cultivation" and "studying alchemy".
Of course, in order to avoid stimulating the pain points of some people and bearing the reputation of "ungrateful" and "unscrupulous for profit", he has not explicitly refused.
In view of Qingshui Zhenjun and Hanmei Zhenjun's face, and the fact that he had a good life in the Commoner League before, Liu Yu also gave up some benefits.
All monks from the original Commoner League who came to Yudantang to buy pills will enjoy a "[-]% discount" discount, and all monks from the Purple Scarf Army will enjoy a "[-]% discount" discount.
However, for the sake of his own safety, Liu Yu, the third-order panacea, will never release too much, so as not to arouse suspicion.
In order to avoid becoming a thorn in the side of Qianting Holy Land, all transactions with the monks of the Purple Scarf Army are also carried out in secret and very low-key.
After the benefits are tied, the cultivators of the Purple Scarf Army will get benefits, and Liu Yu is just a name, and he can practice with peace of mind on weekdays.
I usually collect spiritual grasses and elixir, as well as secret techniques and so on, and I can also get some help from the Purple Scarf Army.
