Chapter 539: A Slightly Updated Version of Magic Cultivation
It was not until more than ten breaths later that the howling sound subsided.
Alchemy Master!
Thinking of these four words, Liu Yu couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Through alchemy, transforming the heaven-defying effect of the Immortal Mansion into an advantage has always benefited him endlessly.
And the way of alchemy is also recognized as the most difficult skill among all the immortal cultivators, and consumes the most spirit stones.
After all, there is no shortcut to save the spirit grass in practice.
The high cost of practice discouraged most monks from the very beginning.
Alchemy masters are even rarer than Golden Core cultivators, and it is more difficult to achieve this achievement, and their status is higher than ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
No matter where you are, as long as you show your identity as an alchemy master, you should be able to enjoy good treatment under normal circumstances.
"It's normal."
"Learning alchemy for more than 100 years, consuming countless spiritual grasses and elixir, and just getting to this point, I really can't be called a genius."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Yu muttered to himself, and his turbulent heart gradually calmed down.
"Just in case, you must prepare a sum of spirit stones for the trip to the Central Territory."
"This time, let's take a risk to refine the third-order elixir and sell it yourself."
Liu Yu flashed this thought, took a short rest, and immediately continued to make alchemy.
For the elixir sold this time, he chose Peiyuan Pill in the end, because the elixir is the most common among the third-tier elixirs, and the risk is lower in comparison.
And the price is more than ten times that of the second-order elixir.
"Zizi"
In the fire gate, the Qingyang magic fire lit up again, emitting blue brilliance.
Ignition, preheating, refining, condensing pills, and opening the furnace.
In the busy life of alchemy and selling alchemy, two months passed quickly.
"50 million spirit stones."
"The value of the third-order elixir is more than ten times that of ordinary elixirs. In a short period of time, such a large sum of spirit stones has been raised."
"In this way, it saves me a lot of time."
Scanning the storage ring with spiritual consciousness, Liu Yu smiled when he counted all the spirit stones.
Immediately, he swallowed a snow sage pill and started his daily practice.
First is the Qingyang Kung Fu, then the Divine Cultivation Technique, and finally the Avatar of the Stars.
After refining qi, refining spirit, and refining body, all three aspects have been practiced once, and seven hours have passed.
"Boom"
The stone door opened slowly, and Liu Yu walked out of the practice room.
After bathing and changing, he lay down on the master chair in the hall, took out a book of exercises and began to read.
Entering the "supreme" state in the world of Immortal Mansion, the deduction method is also deduced and imagined based on known knowledge, so the key is knowledge.
Without enough knowledge, even going into that state, you won't make much progress.
Just like a clever woman can't cook without rice.
Therefore, after learning that he could use the Immortal Mansion to deduce the exercises, Liu Yu paid more attention to the collection of various knowledge about cultivating immortals.
After completing the daily practice and warming up the magic weapon, most of the remaining time is spent on acquiring knowledge through reading.
"Books are the ladder of human progress?"
"No, knowledge is."
Seeing this sentence in a certain exercise book, Liu Yu shook his head after thinking about it, and continued to read.
While not necessarily absolutely correct, this is his current view.
"But is there really absolute rightness in this world?"
"With the development of the cultivating civilization, will the known laws like iron laws be subverted one day?"
After an unknown amount of time, Liu Yu closed the book and thought of this.
Falling into thinking about the unknown, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Perhaps, the charm of longevity and even eternity does not lie in longevity and eternity itself."
"It's about the process."
"More precisely, it is the knowledge acquired in the process and the truth explored!
"Compared to the boundless starry sky, the love, hatred, hatred, and beliefs of immortal cultivators are so insignificant."
"But little by little knowledge, piled up into a tower of truth, is greater than the stars!"
"And this, perhaps, is one of the sources of ancient power."
When he came back to his senses, Liu Yu had a lot of emotions when he put the exercise books into the storage ring.
Thinking of the great achievements of some ancient monks, even if he is already a Jindan monk, he often feels a little ashamed of his ignorance.
There was a time when "Cultivation of Immortals" was also called "Cultivation of Truth".
What is "cultivation"?
It's not just "removing the false and keeping the true", which is too one-sided and narrow, but also "truth and true knowledge".
The way of cultivating immortals is neither ideal nor ideal, and it is inseparable from the foundation of material resources.
There is no such thing as suddenly comprehending a truth, and then breaking through one after another.
The truth that needs to be understood is not good and evil, or light and darkness, nor is it the sophistication of the world.
It is the great truth that has always existed between heaven and earth.
It is not enough to just understand knowledge and comprehend the truth, you must have a certain realm foundation.
For example, one must be above the emptiness stage to comprehend the "Silver Seal Script", and the existence of near immortals in the Mahayana stage is eligible to comprehend the "Golden Script".
The state is not enough, the essence of life is not high enough, the consequence of forcibly comprehending it is a dead end!
Therefore, it is almost impossible for low-level creatures to suddenly comprehend certain rules and then soar into the sky.
A mortal body cannot bear the immensity of the rules, just like that sentence - don't look directly at God!
However, since the Great War of the Ancients, there has been little progress in the cutting-edge knowledge of immortal cultivation in this world.
The latecomers are only using the original ones in a more refined way.
To be precise, it is walking along the path explored by the predecessors.
With the decline of aura in the entire world of cultivating immortals, all kinds of rare resources are becoming scarcer, and every monk has to do everything possible to obtain various resources, which highlights the importance of resources.
Over time, the concept of "cultivation" gradually faded away and was replaced by "cultivation".
However, titles such as Zhenxiu, Zhenren, and Zhenjun have continued from ancient times to the present.
Perhaps, this is also one of the signs that the inheritance has never been interrupted between today and ancient times.
"Ancient times."
Liu Yu felt emotionally, touched the storage ring with his fingers, and took out a thick black leather book.
This book is quite old, and there is no handwriting on the cover.
It was "The Essentials of Magic Cultivation" that made him gain a lot!
It can be said that this book really made him realize the reality of the world of cultivating immortals and opened a new door.
Liu Yu has learned a lot from some of the routines, and he still reads them from time to time.
However, from today's perspective, there are still limitations after all.
After all, times have changed, and the once new routine has become an old routine now, and many monks are already familiar with it.
If it is completely copied, it may suffer a big loss.
After all, the golden core old devil who wrote this book is only in the golden core state, and so many years have passed.
"crash"
In the hall, there was the sound of pages being turned.
Liu Yu flipped through "The Essentials of Demon Cultivation" again, reading from the beginning to the end, secretly nodding to some of the expositions in it from time to time, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
For some outdated routines, he shook his head slightly from time to time.
This time, it only took an hour for him to read the whole book.
"After all, times have changed, and some routines in this book are time to update."
Liu Yu sighed lightly, and gently smoothed out some of the wrinkles on the "Essentials of Demonic Cultivation".
Then I took out the pen and ink and thought about it for a while, then added some revisions and notes to it, and updated it on the original basis.
How to select targets, how to kill people and seize treasures, and how to deal with stolen goods are all discussed in detail in the "Magic Xiu Yaolue", and even wrote many examples.
Although Liu Yu didn't try all of them, but now he is the Jindan Elder of Yuanyangzong, he doesn't need to try to know that some of the routines are already outdated.
Read the book a hundred times, and its meaning is self-evident.
Coupled with his rich experience, he also has his own views on how to update this book.
No matter what the routine is, it can be summed up to take advantage of the weakness of human nature.
For example, "meeting for treasure hunting" is to take advantage of people's "curiosity".
This trick is most effective for monks who are new to the world of cultivating immortals and have little experience.
Take advantage of the newcomers' lack of deep understanding of the world of cultivating immortals, and their "curiosity" that is full of curiosity about many things, and lead them into the trap step by step to achieve their goals.
When a novice cultivator hears about the Cave Mansion of the predecessors, he will first think of precious treasures and powerful exercises, and give full play to his rich imagination.
In addition, in the world of cultivating immortals, there is never a lack of rumors of monks who have obtained adventures and soared into the sky, and it is easy to ignore the risks and step into the trap.
However, after so many years of development in the world of cultivating immortals, all monks with one or two elders will be told this kind of routine, and they already have enough vigilance.
Except for newcomers who just stepped into the world of cultivating immortals by chance, the chance of success is already very low.
"People tend to believe what they see."
"Since the initiative to inform, it is likely to arouse the vigilance of the target."
"It's better to "discover together", and then meet to explore the Guxiu cave."
"In this way, the news of the secret realm is obtained together, and seeing it with one's own eyes and coincidence, it is unlikely to raise vigilance."
"As long as the operation is done properly, even experienced monks are likely to be fooled."
Thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, and Liu Yu's inspiration burst out, and he wrote down a new routine with the pen in his hand.
There is also "beauty trap", which is to use the defect of human nature - color.
Arrange a cooperating nun, pretend to be in love, and then wait for the opportunity to lead her into the trap.
Any monk has a "lustful heart", but some monks can treat it rationally, while some monks find it difficult to suppress their desires.
This trick, as long as you find a suitable partner, no matter whether it is a male or a female cultivator, it will be tried and tested time and again.
However, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the effect is slow, and it is often necessary to give some "sweetness" to make the target let down his vigilance.
But up to now, this kind of routine is widely known in the world of cultivating immortals.
Even monks with low vigilance are unlikely to go to remote places for a tryst with someone they just met.
Unless, the partner's methods are too superb and can easily fascinate the target.
But generally speaking, it is still full of uncertainty, too much time and cost invested, and too many variables.
"this."
"It is possible to establish a superficially helpful circle, let the "partner" act as a newcomer who doesn't understand anything, and use the excuse of asking questions to gain the trust of the target step by step."
"During the process, they showed admiration, worship and other emotions from time to time to enhance their status in the target's mind."
"Moreover, a circle has been established, and multiple targets can be attacked at the same time, no longer limited to one person."
"Once you gain trust, everything will be easy to handle."
With a burst of inspiration, Liu Yu kept moving his hands, leaving new handwriting on the old pages.
In addition, you can also use the "greed" of human nature, as well as the most urgent desire and so on.
For example, meeting in a treasure hunt, in which the greed of human nature is used.
It is not only by killing people and seizing treasures that resources can be obtained.
It is also possible to take advantage of the psychology of some monks who are greedy for small things, to forge some low-cost sophisticated instruments, etc., and then sell them at a lower price.
For example, "Yellow Dragon Pill" and "Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pill" that break through the small realm, and "Building Foundation Pill" and "Jinjin Pill" that break through the big realm.
Cooperating with some means, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and often can absorb resources beyond imagination.
After all, not every monk knows the way of alchemy, and most of the monks can't detect the counterfeiting of some pills, as long as they hide from several common detection methods.
What's more, monks who urgently need these resources may not be able to think rationally as usual when they really see the urgently needed resources.
Using some means at this time, such as arranging one or more "competitors", can easily achieve the desired effect.
As for the methods of counterfeiting pills, there are several recorded in "Moxiu Yaolue".
However, with the development of the world of cultivating immortals over the years, the advanced methods at that time have basically become invalid.
If you continue to use it, the risk of being discovered is high.
"But Mr. Liu happens to be a master of alchemy!"
"The method of counterfeiting pills is too simple for me."
Liu Yu smiled slightly, and immediately thought of several methods.
From various aspects, it is possible to hide from the common detection methods in the world of cultivating immortals, at least it is not a problem to hide from ordinary monks.
Then with a swipe of his pen, he wrote several methods on the pages of the old book.
Aiming at various weaknesses of human nature, Liu Yu wrote routines in the "Essentials of Demon Cultivation" based on his own insights.
Every routine has high feasibility in today's world of cultivating immortals.
As long as you fully understand "The Essentials of Demonic Cultivation" and can make up your mind to walk firmly on this dark road.
Even a monk with ordinary aptitude and poor or poor qualifications has the possibility of successfully building a foundation and soaring into the sky!
It has to be admitted that in the current situation where sects and families control most of the resources, it will be difficult for ordinary monks to have a bright future if they don't have the opportunity.
At least, for most monks.
It is almost predictable how far we can go in the future if we go on step by step and in a regular manner.
Only by breaking the invisible shackles and possessing flexible moral standards can we go further on the fairy road!
Of course, whether it will be successful in the end depends on the monk's specific performance.
The core of the various routines in "The Essentials of Demonic Cultivation" is to exploit the weakness of human nature.
As long as you can understand this point and stick to it, if you don't have too much luck, you can achieve far more than the original achievement!
Curiosity, lust, greed, anger.
"Swish"
Taking advantage of the weakness of human nature and according to his own opinion, Liu Yu wrote the latest routines one by one in the book.
During the period, I stopped to think seriously from time to time, and it was not until half an hour later that the writing was completed.
"Whoo~"
Liu Yu took a deep breath to dry the pen and ink on the book.
"In these days, if you want to go further on the fairy road, you must have something special."
"Either one or two skills in cultivating immortals, or a clear understanding of the world of cultivating immortals."
He muttered to himself, looking more satisfied with his masterpiece.
After the pen and ink dried, Liu Yu thought about it, took out another blank book with a black cover, picked up the pen holder and started to copy it.
Another half an hour later, the thick copy of "The Essentials of Magic Cultivation" was copied, and he put both copies into the storage ring.
Afterwards, he called the maid Wen Caiyi in and poured spiritual tea for himself.
"My lord, when you retreated a few days ago, the eldest lady has already returned from the Yuan country."
"Do you want to see the eldest lady at this time?!"
Pulling back his sleeves and pouring spirit tea, Wen Caiyi whispered softly.
The woman's complexion was a little stiff, and she was obviously absent-minded when she spoke, and her knuckles were slightly white.
Obviously, she was feeling uneasy at this time.
Just because two years ago, Jiang Qiushui suddenly heard the news that he had successfully formed the alchemy, and he became the elder of the Zongmen's golden alchemy.
For a little maid like her who wanted to be in the top position, one can imagine the great pressure.
Liu Yu's eyes were piercing, he saw through this woman's small thoughts, and smiled slightly:
"You are the maid of this seat, no one will do anything to you without the permission of this seat."
"Go in peace."
He still has a lot of experience on how to handle the relationship between women, and there will be no "gong fights" that he likes to hear.
For Liu Yu, even if Jiang Qiushui succeeds in forming a pill, the relationship between the two parties will not change.
It was what it was before, and it will be what it will be in the future.
after all
"Yes, son!"
Hearing the guarantee, Wen Caiyi's face was happy, and finally he was no longer anxious, and left the cave quickly after saluting.
Looking at the back of the woman leaving, Liu Yu shook his head.
Immediately, he took out the alchemy notebook, and recorded the new characteristics of Qingyang Demon Fire and some experience in refining the elixir.
……
After being promoted to the Golden Core Realm, Jiang Qiushui did not move to Tongtian Peak, or chose a spiritual mountain, and stayed at Qingyang Peak.
Therefore, after Wen Caiyi went to inform, in less than half a quarter of an hour, there were brisk footsteps outside the cave.
Just hearing the footsteps, one can imagine the happy mood of its owner.
"Husband!"
The silver hairpin in the hair collided with the jewelry, making a crisp and pleasant sound, and Jiang Qiushui in a long lavender dress appeared in front of him.
With obvious joy on her delicate face, she rushed over quickly.
Liu Yu only had time to open his arms when he felt his legs sink, a familiar fragrance entered his nose, and his fingertips were all soft.
"Counting it carefully, we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, right?"
Looking at Jiang Qiushui's hair, the silver hairpin magic weapon he gave her when he established the foundation, this thought flashed in his mind.
Sitting on his lap, Jiang Qiushui wrapped his hands tightly around Liu Yu's waist, buried his face in his chest, and did not speak for a long time.
Quietly and tenderly.
She didn't speak until a dozen or so breaths later:
"Husband, I have successfully formed the alchemy."
When she said this, the woman finally separated a certain distance.
Those bright eyes full of emotion stared at Liu Yu without blinking, as if waiting for praise and affirmation.
"very good."
"Qiu Shuiyou really did a good job this time."
Touching the female cultivator's face, the touch was cold and delicate, Liu Yu said softly.
Unless a monk hits the bottleneck of the golden core, unless he falls at the stage where the mana is solidified, if he fails in any subsequent stage, most of them will fall directly.
One can imagine how much risk there is.
The fact that Jiang Qiushui was able to form a pill successfully proved that he had grown up, no matter what the reason was, it was worthy of recognition.
After all, her successful alchemy, regardless of the considerations, is very beneficial to her, isn't it?
This woman is also a disciple of Genzheng Miaohong who was born in another courtyard, and she can also participate in the elders' meeting. Doesn't it mean that she has an extra vote from now on?
When the two got along, Jiang Qiushui seldom concealed his emotions, and immediately smiled when he heard the compliment.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of an important question, and she became a little nervous, and she exerted a little force on her hands.
"Husband, should Qiushui be allowed?"
Jiang Qiushui mustered up his courage, but in the middle of speaking, he noticed Liu Yu's slowly restraining smile, so he still didn't continue.
"You still don't give up, but you want to attack the position of Taoist companion?!"
Although the words were not finished, Liu Yu had already understood what this woman meant.
But he just took it into his arms to comfort him, and said that we will discuss it later and so on.
Although the value of Jiang Qiushui's breakthrough to the Golden Core realm has greatly increased, he has long made up his mind not to find a Taoist companion, and this principle will not change.
In this way, the two snuggled together, talking about something that happened over the years.
"ah"
Then, in Jiang Qiushui's exclamation full of shyness and expectation, Liu Yu embraced him and strode towards the bedroom.
The "Avatar of the Stars" practiced in the scorching sun state, resulting in too much yang energy in the body, and had to "reconcile yin and yang" every once in a while.
Having been in close contact for such a long time, Liu Yu's body has already undergone "strange" changes.
After talking about the serious business, of course we should have a good discussion on the "Yin-Yang Dao".
([-] words omitted here)
……
Afterwards, the two sat next to each other at the table in the hall.
"what?"
"Husband actually wants to perform such a dangerous task?!"
"why?"
"In the present situation where we are all Jindan, wouldn't it be good to take it slowly? Why do you have to take such a risk?"
"Husband~!"
Hearing about the "Chang'an Project", Jiang Qiushui's face immediately changed.
As if she was afraid of losing, she tightly grasped the person in front of her with both hands, her jade face was full of worry.
"I have to go."
Liu Yu said seriously.
Jiang Qiushui is now an elder of the sect, so he will know about it sooner or later.
And after I left, the forces I had built up based on the sect also needed this woman to take charge of the overall situation, so I didn't hide it.
Two months have passed, and there are only ten months left, and the "Chang'an Plan" is about to start,
There are still some aftermath things to be arranged, so we can't delay it any longer.
Hearing this, Jiang Qiushui's expression darkened, but he clasped his fingers together and fell into silence.
"rest assured."
"Don't you know me yet?"
"Since you are determined to take risks, you must be very sure!"
Although he was really not sure, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Liu Yu lied.
"really?"
After being affirmed, Jiang Qiushui looked better, and finally did not continue to persuade, but the worried look on his face was puzzled.
That is the Hengduan Mountain Range, how many amazing, talented and gorgeous people were buried in it? !
"Ruyan is already retreating to form alchemy, right?"
After ordering some aftermath, Liu Yu asked about Ji Ruyan's situation.
PS: It's a little bit stuck, the thirteenth chapter will be postponed for a while, it's late but it's here!
(End of this chapter)
