Chapter 494 Cultivation Plan (Please subscribe for a monthly pass!)

While thinking about it, the short distance has been completed, and the cave is close at hand.

"what?"

Looking at the opened cave formation, a trace of surprise flashed in Liu Yu's eyes.

If I remember correctly, the cave formation should have been closed before he left, so why was it opened at this time?

Apart from himself, only Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan could open the formation at the gate of the cave.

But the two women are still finishing the ceremony, so who opened the formation and who is inside?

As he approached the door, a wisp of orchid fragrance suddenly passed into his nostrils.

"is her?!"

Liu Yu's heart moved, and he already knew the identity of the person inside without a glance.

This wisp of orchid fragrance is somewhat familiar, with a special smell, he has been in close contact with it before.

At this time, I smelled it again, and naturally recognized it instantly.

For some reason, Liu Yu suddenly thought of Elder Yan's mysterious words when he left, as well as Jiang Qiushui's and Ji Ruyan's strange attitudes.

The doubts in my heart were immediately resolved.

"Squeak."

Sure enough, the moment Liu Yu opened the door, he saw a female cultivator.

This woman is wearing a plain tight-fitting Taoist robe, without complicated decorations and exquisite embroidery.

But that trace of grace and luxury cannot be concealed by a simple Taoist robe.

Because the Taoist robe is too "fitting", his uneven figure is more distinct against the background of the Taoist robe.

Even with a distance of more than ten steps, you can still feel the heavy weight.

She had long black hair, tied behind her head by a crimson hairpin, revealing a large area of ​​delicate facial features, black and white in stark contrast.

Light eye shadow, curved eyelashes, graceful temperament

And that white and smooth skin, and a stunning bright red on the lips.

Even with just a glance, but with a man's intuition, he will instinctively feel that this is a rare stunner!

Grace and dignity coexist, and there is a touch of charm in maturity.

A plain Taoist robe was wrapped around her exquisite body, revealing the identity of the female cultivator in front of her. She was supposed to be an indifferent to the world of mortals, but this time it gave people a strange feeling.

This woman is Yan Hongyu.

Because Liu Yu didn't deliberately cover up the movement, the woman naturally noticed it long ago, and got up in a hurry the moment she opened her face.

"Jingle Bell"

The silver jewelry in the hair collided, making a pleasant sound.

"I met Elder Qingyang!"

Yan Hongyu hurriedly saluted, a blush had already appeared on her snow-white and charming cheeks.

She seemed to be unaccustomed to the exchange of identities between the two parties, and her behavior was quite restrained, so she did not announce her name when she saluted.

An ordinary disciple decades ago, now he has transformed into an elder of the sect? !

And because of the failure of forming the alchemy, there is no further potential, the ancestor actually asked her to be a concubine.

"Don't be too polite."

"Senior Sister Hongyu, you and I have known each other in Weiwei for decades, so there is no need to be so polite."

Liu Yu walked to the other side of the table, took out a cup of spiritual tea from the storage bag and poured it for himself, with a smile on his lips.

"Yes."

Yan Hongyu agreed, then sat down with her head bowed without saying a word, her expression fluctuating as she faced the table.

At this time, she completely lost her wise and wise appearance.

On the contrary, because of the series of blows, he looked lonely and obviously not in high spirits, and there was actually a hint of frailty.

This trace of fragility is just right, adding a bit of femininity to the beauty of a woman. With the graceful and mature temperament, the attraction to the opposite sex is even higher.

"good."

With appreciative eyes, Liu Yu sized him up for a while, then nodded inwardly.

When he accepted the magic weapon "Golden Jade Ring", he understood what Elder Yan meant, but he had no intention of rejecting it.

It can only be said that at this time, a defensive magic weapon was sent, which really hit his weakness.

And Yan Hongyu's appearance and figure are indeed in line with her own aesthetics.

Facing the double temptation of a magic weapon and a beauty, how could Liu Yu refuse?

don't take the initiative, don't refuse, don't

The reason why he didn't refuse the marriage again was that apart from the two immediate benefits, he also had long-term plans.

This moment, that moment.

When building the foundation realm, you still have to worry about being controlled by the Yan family and becoming a thug and a tool to earn spirit stones.

But at the Golden Core realm, the two sides are already on equal footing, and the relationship has undergone subtle changes.

If Liu Yu wants to gain more power in the sect, it will inevitably cause a backlash from those with vested interests.

At this time, you can't fight alone. You must unite forces that can be united in order to win the benefits you deserve.

Even if they are brothers from the same sect, even if they are blood relatives, few are willing to spit out part of the benefits they have obtained.

If it cannot be obtained by peaceful means, it must be won by extraordinary means, and the help of allies is indispensable.

After all, Liu Yu is only a newly promoted golden elixir after all, and he hasn't even refined his natal magic weapon.

Even if the strength is better than ordinary golden elixir, it is far from being invincible.

When the strength is not enough, it is natural to strategize and use strength to achieve the goal.

As for the faction of the same family line, the Yan family and the Li family are natural allies, so they naturally want to get closer.

As an Elder Jindan, it is normal to take a concubine.

Even if he turns his face every day and is only a concubine, it will not cause any obstacles to Liu Yu.

But in front of him, he could get further support from the Yan family and the favor of monks from other families, so why not do it?

Weighing the pros and cons in my heart is just a matter of a few breaths.

After a few breaths, seeing that Yan Hongyu was still silent, Liu Yu frowned slightly.

Although today is the Golden Elixir Ceremony, he still has a lot of things to do, but he doesn't have much time to spend here.

However, regarding the matter of marriage, female cultivators are really not good at opening their mouths, so I have to break the silence by myself, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

"Senior Sister Yan came here late at night, I don't know what it is?"

Gently put down the cup in his hand, Liu Yu took the time to look at the other party and said calmly.

"."

While struggling violently in her heart, Yan Hongyu suddenly heard that familiar voice, her delicate body trembled undetectably, and her hands under the table were unconsciously clenched.

However, this woman has a wealth of experience after all, and she also has deep feelings for the family, knowing that she has no choice at the moment.

So, a decision was made a long time ago.

"Oh~!"

Yan Hongyu sighed quietly.

Then he stood up slowly, and his well-proportioned and distinctive figure was once again displayed in front of Liu Yu.

This woman seems to have been carefully dressed, eye shadow, lip red, powder, etc. are all just right.

One point less is too light, it looks a bit pale, and one point more is too thick, it looks a bit gaudy.

So neither thick nor light, but it adds a bit of color.

People can't help but twitch their index fingers, wishing they could embrace her immediately and "love" it.

As Yan Hongyu stood up, the orchid fragrance with a mature charm became more intense, as if it was plucking at the heartstrings, making it unbearable.

After getting up, she still didn't say a word, but frowned slightly and glanced at Liu Yu, then quickly looked away.

Then, the snow-white jade hand with neat and slender nails slowly touched the belt around the waist.

Seeing this, Liu Yu smiled slightly. The two didn't communicate much, but they had already understood each other.

However, although it is essentially a transaction, it does not prevent him from enjoying it.

A trace of mana closed the door, and the formation outside opened accordingly.

([-] words omitted here)

Looking from a distance, it seems that there is a strong wind blowing, and the lights in the attic are flickering.

Time passed slowly, and the lights on the candlesticks were on all night, and they were not suddenly extinguished until dawn.

……

The next day.

The two dressed neatly and sat facing each other in the cave.

"Hongyu, stay at Qingyang Peak with peace of mind from now on."

"Is there any shortage, though let me know."

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, Liu Yu spoke calmly.

"Yes, Master Qingyang."

Yan Hongyu was taken aback for a moment, then came back to her senses and said calmly.

Although they have already studied the Yin-Yang Dao together, if they had to say those two words now, they would still feel very awkward.

After all, the age difference between the two is dozens of years, and Yan Qun'er's side

Therefore, Yan Hongyu hesitated for a moment, and still called him Shishu.

Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at the male cultivator in front of her. For some reason, that ordinary appearance had a special charm at this time, which made her unconsciously want to get close.

"In that case, you should retreat first."

"When the time is right, Liu will summon him, and then he will give you some advice on cultivation."

Wen Xin took out the alchemy notes, and Liu Yu said calmly without raising his head.

With his keen spiritual sense, of course he could sense the other party's scrutiny, but he didn't express anything more.

At this time, he was in a state of being as holy as a Buddha.

For Yan Hongyu and some female cultivators, Liu Yu could see the changes in their attitudes before and after.

This, he is not surprised.

The process of cultivating immortals is not only an increase in strength, but also a leap in the essence of life.

At the golden elixir stage, he has already achieved a preliminary transcendence.

Compared with mortals, it is already different, even without a physical body can survive.

To some extent, compared to low-level monks and mortals, monks above the Jindan realm are indeed more "perfect".

This is the difference in the essence of life, which produces a special attraction, especially for the opposite sex.

After all, evolution is the instinct engraved in the blood of all living things.

It is also the nature of species to want to match with a more perfect bloodline and give birth to more perfect offspring.

Liu Yu's appearance didn't change much after the hair-washing and marrow-cutting, but some blemishes disappeared.

It still looks ordinary on the surface, but it has become more "perfect"

"Understood Master, Hongyu will leave."

Yan Hongyu agreed, then turned and left quickly.

Although she has initially accepted the reality, she still has a bit of brooding, and it is difficult to let go of it in a short time.

After the woman left, Liu Yu continued to review the alchemy notes, put them away two hours later, got up and entered the practice room.

On the futon, he sat cross-legged, took out the defensive magic weapon gold jade ring, injected mana and began to refine it.

No accident, the moment the mana was injected, he felt the breath of a different kind of mana.

Obviously, this magic weapon was used by someone before it was given to him.

Liu Yu didn't pay too much attention to it, and immediately increased the output of mana, slowly pinched the spell in his hand, and tried his best to refine the magic weapon "Golden Jade Ring".

With the operation of mana, his real spiritual pressure was leaked out, almost comparable to some golden core mid-stage monks.

There is such a background just after forming a pill. If other monks know about it, they will definitely be curious and want to explore the secret.

The cyan aura in both hands shone, and one after another spells landed on the golden jade ring.

This ring trembled slightly, as if it was oppressed and restrained by some invisible force, trembling repeatedly but unable to move.

Its golden aura gradually turned blue as time went by.

"Preliminary washing is complete."

One day passed, Liu Yu flashed this idea, and the magic technique of both hands immediately changed!

Intangible, immaterial and powerful spiritual consciousness gushed out, spread to the inside of Jin Yuhuan, and began to engrave the brand of spiritual consciousness on its core.

It was not until two days and two nights later that Liu Yu initially completed the sacrifice of this magic weapon and could take it out for use.

"But at this time, it can only exert [-]% of its power."

"If you want to continue to increase the power, you have to try your best to get rid of the aura of different kinds of mana, so that Jin Yuhuan is familiar with your own mana aura."

After a little experimentation, I found that this ring has a good defensive effect no matter it is a brute force attack or a magic attack. Liu Yu nodded slightly in satisfaction.

Afterwards, he put it into the storage bag and started his daily practice.

After opening the spirit-gathering formation in the cave, Liu Yu closed his eyes and focused most of his attention on the operation of the exercises.

Not long after, a large amount of spiritual energy slowly gathered towards the cave under the gathering of spirits.

With the operation of the exercises, the spiritual energy even formed a thin layer of mist, which submerged into his physical body, and was refined into mana by joining the great cycle of heaven.

After cultivating to the Golden Core realm, there are still 72 great cycles, so the practice time has not increased.

It's just that the operation route of the exercises is more complicated, but the purity of mana is not the same as that of the foundation building period, so the training time for Qi refining is roughly the same.

"Whoo~"

Three hours later, Liu Yu opened his eyes with a breath of turbid air, and the light in his pupils flashed away.

Feeling that his mana and cultivation had hardly increased, he couldn't help frowning.

Only now did I finally understand why some Golden Core cultivators would stay in a small realm for two to three hundred years.

Just because of purely relying on meditation practice, the speed of cultivation is too slow.

Although the longevity has increased, the difficulty of improving the cultivation level has also skyrocketed.

"After cultivating to the Golden Core realm, because of the existence of the Golden Core, the gap between various aptitudes will be narrowed."

"With my aptitude improved by psychic energy, and the plausible ninth-grade golden elixir, at this time, even a cultivator with Tianlinggen and Yilinggen, the fastest cultivation speed is twice as fast as myself."

"However, at the current speed, if you simply rely on meditation to refine Qi, it will take at least 120 years to cultivate to the middle stage of Golden Core."

"Maybe there will be bottlenecks in it. If you want to cultivate to the peak of Jindan, I don't know how long it will take."

"It seems that we still need the assistance of foreign objects."

Liu Yu was slightly moved.

Because the golden core can also swallow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, after reaching the golden core state, the cultivation speed of all monks has increased.

As the overall cultivation speed increases, the proportion of spiritual root qualifications in it will naturally decrease, and the corresponding influence will continue to decrease.

After reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, without using any external objects, there may even be a situation where the cultivation speed of the Heavenly Spiritual Root and the Five Spiritual Roots are the same.

Because as the cultivation base increases, the proportion of Jindan Nascent Soul in the cultivation speed will gradually equal or even exceed the spiritual root qualification.

Theoretically, if there is a big enough difference in the ranks of Jindan Yuanying, it is not impossible for Wulinggen to surpass Tianlinggen in terms of cultivation speed when they all reach the realm of Yuanying.

However, although the speed of cultivation has increased, the amount of mana and cultivation that needs to be accumulated has also increased.

"However, with a limit of 800 years of lifespan, to a certain extent, it is already considered a "longevity", and there is no rush for everything."

"We need to change our mentality and try to consider some issues from the perspective of a "long-lived person."

"The success rate of refining the third-order elixir corresponding to the cultivation of the golden core realm is still too low, and the spirit stones in my hands are not enough."

"It seems that in the next ten years or so, you won't be able to take pills frequently for cultivation."

"Even with the Immortal Mansion to ripen, the cost of third-tier pills is not low. It is still necessary to improve the attainments of alchemy first, and then refine third-tier pills."

Taking advantage of the rest time, Liu Yu thought about his future training plan.

The third-order pills, obtained through the trip to the holy fire secret realm, currently have five kinds in hand.

But there are only two kinds that suit me.

One is the "Fire Cloud Pill" of the third-rank low-grade, which is the exclusive medicine for fire-attribute monks, and is very suitable for monks who use fire-attribute exercises in the early stage of Jindan.

One is the "Quenching Yuan Pill" of the third-tier middle grade, which is a general-purpose pill without attributes, and it can be used by monks who practice any skills to exert good effects.

The spiritual grass and elixir for refining the "Fire Cloud Pill" had already been collected before the pill was formed, and the inventory in the Immortal Mansion had already been collected.

As long as you have enough confidence and can bear the loss of refining failure, you can start alchemy at any time.

"The matter of refining "Huoyun Pill" is not in a hurry, it is better to improve your alchemy attainments first."

"The Jin Yuhuan has already been initially refined. Let's go to the Zongmen's treasure house first to see if there are any surprises and harvest one or two materials for refining the natal magic weapon."

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Liu Yu's thoughts gradually became clear.

It’s just that there are a few natal magic weapons recorded in Qingyang Gong, no matter which ones, the collection progress has not exceeded three-tenths, and there is still a long way to go.

"Based on the current situation, in the next ten years or so, the natal magic weapon should not be able to be refined."

"This matter still needs a long-term plan. The most urgent thing is to improve all aspects of strength and earn spirit stones."

"From the perspective of a long-lived person, ten or twenty years is nothing."

"Among them, there is certainly a reason why I have higher requirements for my natal magic weapon, but it is also a common situation for all Golden Core cultivators."

"Compared to casual cultivators and small power monks, one or two hundred years after forming the alchemy, they don't even have the materials to refine the natal magic weapon."

"I've been working fast for more than ten or twenty years."

Shaking his head, Liu Yu took out the "Moon Invitation Pot" and began to practice the "Avatar of the Stars".

The reason why he didn't directly practice the "Spiritual Preservation Method" was because the knowledge of the divine consciousness was more profound, and he had only comprehended most of the part of the third-level golden core stage, so it was impossible to talk about cultivation.

He would not joke about his own life, and he would not take the risk of cultivating the third level of the magical method of existence before he fully comprehended it.

As for the second level, for the 75 miles of consciousness, the effect of tempering and growth has been lost.

Naturally, there is no need to spend time to practice, just run it once in a while to get familiar with it.

"Zizi"

As a ray of "power of the sun" floated out from the spout of the Yaoyue pot, frost began to condense in the practice room, and the sound of freezing came and went.

Wisps of cold air formed a white mist, covering the burly figure.

Cultivated to the Golden Core state, the essence of life has been greatly improved, which has led to the growth of body training.

Liu Yu could feel that even without the assistance of the "power of the sun", the physical cultivation was improving all the time under the influence of the golden core.

According to this speed, even without the assistance of foreign objects, it will only take about 20 years for the body to break through to the third level.

With the help of the power of the sun, it will be almost ten years.

Once the physical cultivation also breaks through to the Golden Core realm, Liu Yu's strength will immediately increase dramatically.

Therefore, now is his strongest time, but also his weakest time.

In the next few decades, as long as he can practice steadily for a period of time, his strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds!

……

"Boom"

The formation is activated, and the door is opened.

Liu Yu walked out of the practice room, and immediately saw the figures of two female cultivators, Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan.

"Husband"

The two women saluted and called out in unison.

At the Golden Elixir Ceremony, Liu Yu had already announced in public that Jiang Qiushui was accepted as a concubine, so this woman has changed her mind now.

It's been unclear for decades, but now he finally has a reputation.

"sit down."

After Liu Yu said something lightly, he walked to the main seat and sat down, taking the time to look at the two women.

There was an inexplicable look in the black pupils.

"."

However, the two women did not get up immediately after hearing the words, but exchanged glances while bending over.

"Husband, sister Ruyan and I both know we were wrong."

"About Senior Sister Hongyu."

In the end, Jiang Qiu gritted his teeth and stood up to admit his mistake.

She knew Liu Yu best, and knew that although her husband looked fine now, he might already be furious in his heart.

At this time, it is better not to be stubborn.

In a few words, Jiang Qiushui explained the whole story clearly.

It was indeed Master Qi and Elder Yan who used their strength to beat him under the guise of thinking of Liu Yu, and the magic weapon "Golden Jade Ring" was too expensive, so the two women put Yan Hongyu into the cave.

Liu Yu was naturally angry when he let people in without his permission.

However, the two women are also excusable, so they just reprimanded them to let them realize the seriousness of the matter, and the matter is considered over.

The secondary tokens in the hands of the two women can only open the formation leading to the hall, and cannot enter the training room, alchemy room, bedroom, etc.

And with the restriction of Yuanshen, there is no need to worry about their betrayal.

If it were a different monk, Liu Yu might have just shot him to the end, or even killed him on the spot.

He has too many secrets, and he is destined not to trust any monk.

"Husband, the matter of choosing a maid has already been arranged by the concubine."

"As soon as the news was released, many sect female cultivators wanted to join Qingyang Peak."

"Because there were too many people, the concubine decided to screen out 200 people, and eliminated those who were inappropriate in terms of appearance and body."

"Husband, I don't know when the interview will be arranged, and how many maids will be selected?"

After the storm had passed, Ji Ruyan spoke cautiously.

　Thank you for your rewards and support from Dao friends such as Lesion 5000 points and Yunye Wang 5000 points!

PS: Make up for the [-] words owed yesterday.
