MTL - Immortal Mansion Longevity-Chapter 697 ten years

  Chapter 697 Ten Years

   "Maintain the current state, the Purple Turban Army, try to shirk as much as possible."

  Thinking like this, Liu Yu closed the account, got up and walked out the door.

   "Squeak"

  The door opened and closed, and he walked down the stairs all the way, and soon came to the first floor of Yudan Hall, without stopping at all.

   "Seniors of the Ancient City"

   "East"

   Along the way, whether it was the clerk or the customer, they all saluted and said hello.

   I am full of awe for this "legendary figure" who is not only superb in cultivation, but also has extraordinary attainments in alchemy.

  Especially the clerk, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

  The treatment of Yudantang is not bad. It is precisely because the "Senior Gucheng" founded Yudantang that they can have a stable job and income.

   There is no need to live a precarious life like other casual cultivators, and no longer need to take risks to perform tasks.

  So at least for now, most of the clerks are grateful to the legendary Liu Yu.

  Thanks to the seniors in Gucheng for giving them a stable job.

"Um."

  Liu Yu's face was calm, and occasionally he nodded slightly to the familiar clerk, and soon left Yudantang.

  Out of the attic to the street, bursts of noise came oncoming.

  Calling, controversy, gossip, bragging

  All kinds of casual cultivators make all kinds of sounds, full of fireworks in the world, making people feel like they are in the ordinary market.

  Hongxia Mountain is a fourth-order spiritual mountain, and the aura on it is extremely abundant for casual cultivators, even if it is not at the aura node.

  The cultivators who can live in this Lingshan Mountain are considered to be the better group among thousands of casual cultivators, so their cultivation bases are generally higher.

  Foundation cultivators abound, and Jindan cultivators are not uncommon either.

  On the contrary, there are very few qi refining monks who have lived in this mountain for a long time. They usually come to Hongxia Mountain for business, such as buying magic weapon pills or visiting relatives and friends.

  They can't stay here for too long, they must leave within the specified time, otherwise they will be found by patrolling monks after the time limit, and many spirit stones will be fined and confiscated.

   Of course, if you are too shy to pay the fine, you can also use "labor" to deduct it.

  As a holy place for casual cultivators, although there are not as many rules and regulations as in Xiancheng, the most basic rules still exist.

  For example, you can't shoot in the gathering place, you can't kill people and seize treasures in the Zixia Mountains, etc.

   It is precisely because there is a basic order that can guarantee the most basic life safety, Zixia Mountains can attract many casual practitioners.

   "嗖嗖~"

  Three rays of light streaked across the sky and landed directly in the city of Hongxiafang, revealing several monks of different levels of cultivation.

  The cultivation bases of these monks are all above Jindan, but perhaps because of the short time after the fight, two of them were obviously not breathing well and their faces were pale.

  The shirt was still stained with blood.

   Flying in the Zixia Mountains is not restricted, even if you only have a mid-stage cultivation, you can fly freely if you only use a magic weapon, and the class is not so obvious.

   Seeing three Golden Core "seniors" appearing in a row, the monks in the square city looked over one after another.

   "The shopkeeper hasn't come out yet?"

   "This time, the three of us brought a few high-quality goods, you can't bargain against your conscience!"

  Dun Guang fell straight in front of a shop that bought monster materials, and one of them shouted loudly into the shop.

   After speaking, ignoring the various gazes of others, the three of them walked directly into the store, and their figures disappeared quickly.

   "It looks like another group of monks went to the border to hunt monsters."

   Looking away, Liu Yu had this thought.

   "With the end of the battle of Lingwu City, the relationship between the two races has become increasingly tense, and the friction is increasing."

   "Not only Annan Six Continents, but also the three sides of the Western Desert, Eastern Desolation, and Northern Plains. The number of demon cultivators and beasts entrenched on the border is also increasing day by day."

   "If things go on like this, it's not impossible for the **** war to break out."

   he thought silently.

  With the end of the ancient times, the ancient races gradually declined and gradually disappeared.

   Either stay in a corner, or go extinct directly.

  In the world, there are only two big clans left—"human" and "demon".

  The two races are the only protagonists, and the only opponents are each other.

  Millions of years have passed, and the confrontation between monsters and monsters has continued until now, and there is no sign of ending.

  In terms of overall strength, the human race has the upper hand.

  But compared to the monster clan, the intrigue within the human race is more serious, and they have no intention of uniting to face the monster clan head-on.

  The relationship between Dagan and the Holy Land, and the relationship between the Central Region and the Four Regions has always been in a very delicate state.

   Just relying on the middle domain, it is enough to compete with the entire monster race, and at most it will fall into a slight disadvantage.

  However, we must also beware of the "delay" in the critical moment of the Four Regions, and dare not launch a decisive battle with the Yaozu.

   After all, after solving the biggest enemy of the Yaozu, the four regions are worried that the Central Region Dynasty will give birth to the idea of ​​"dominating the world".

  The existing world structure has spawned a large number of holy places, sects, and aristocratic families with vested interests. Of course, they don't want to have another emperor on their heads.

  The ancient Heavenly Court was indeed extremely splendid, but the vast majority of monks were unwilling to see the second "Heavenly Court" appear.

  Although the overall strength of the Yaozu is at a disadvantage, under the coordination of the "Wang Ting", they are much more united than the Human Race.

  But "Yaozu" is just a general term, and the interests of the thousands of races within the Yaozu are also inconsistent.

  No matter which race, they want their own habitat to be bigger, better and richer in resources.

  A decisive battle with the human race will inevitably be accompanied by a large number of casualties. The originally high-ranking ethnic groups may fall to the lower ranks after the war.

  In this case, it is also difficult for the Yaozu to make up their minds and launch a full-scale decisive battle against the human race.

  There is discord within the two clans, and it is difficult to gather forces together. Naturally, it is difficult to break out that kind of all-out war and completely defeat the other party.

  So the pattern formed since the end of ancient times has continued to the present.

  Of course, if there is chaos within the other party, the other party will definitely take the opportunity to add insult to injury.

   Today's Beiyuan and Tiannan were created by the human race taking advantage of the internal strife of the monster race.

   And Tiannan was being eaten away a little bit, which was also the result of the Yaozu taking advantage of the gap between the human dynasty's change of dynasty and taking advantage of it.

   But these are far from a total war.

  But now, Dagan’s rule has passed its most powerful period, and the relationship with the Holy Land seems to be incompatible. In the existing Ninety-three Continents of the Central Region, there are still scattered organizations such as the Purple Turban Army and the Dajiang Society.

  Yaozu seems to be ready to move again.

  Liu Yu had a premonition that the current situation in the central region seemed stable, but turbulence seemed to be coming at any time.

   I just don’t know whether to explode from the inside out or start from the outside in.

   "In the current situation, the various forces in the central region are restraining each other, and it is impossible to rescue Tiannan."

   "I don't know what's going on in Tiannan now, is the beast tide over?"

   "Did Zongmen and Chu Kingdom fall?"

  All kinds of thoughts flashed in Liu Yu's mind.

  In the process of rushing from Jiangzhou to Zixia Mountains in Qingzhou, he had already found an opportunity to hand over the letter of help from the Seven Nations League to the Dagan local organization.

   But after the news spread, it was as if nothing had disappeared, and there was no movement.

  Knowing the situation in the central region, Liu Yu basically has no expectations for the monks sent by Qianting to rescue Tiannan.

  Anyway, when the news arrived, he was considered to have completed the task. If he pays a little attention to the news in this regard, he will not take any more actions.

  Looking at the bustling scene in Fang City, Liu Yu felt peaceful in his heart, and then his mana rose into the air and flew towards his cave.

  The cave he leased in "Hongxia Mountain" is a mansion covering an area of ​​about 100 acres, with high walls erected on all sides and guarded by a third-order formation.

  In the mansion, there are all pavilions, terraces and lofts, as well as rockery and small lakes. The scenery is very beautifully maintained.

  The mansion is located on the aura node, and its rank is as high as the third-rank top rank, which is just equivalent to the current cultivation level, and with the blessing of alchemist status, it will not attract attention.

  With Liu Yuxiu's status and status, even renting a third-tier top-quality cave is very normal, and it can be said to be very low-key at present.

  …

  Back to the cave, Liu Yu entered the state of penance again, swallowing elixir to accumulate mana cultivation base, warming up the magic weapon and comprehending various exercises.

  Three days passed in a flash.

   On this day, Liu Yu was comprehending a book of spiritual consciousness exercises in the hall, when there was a sudden movement in the storage ring.

   "At this time, it should be Guo Poyun."

  Placing down the classics, he took out the communication jade tablet, and quickly swept his consciousness into it.

   As expected, it was Guo Poyun who sent the message, and he was already waiting outside the cave.

  Liu Yu shook his head slightly, then used the mansion's control token to open the formation, stood up and greeted the outside of the cave.

   "Boom"

  The door opened slowly, making a slight sound.

  Through the gap, Liu Yu had already seen the familiar figure of Guo Poyun, with a slight smile on his face, he said:

   "I haven't seen you for a few months, and Guo Daoyou's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and he must be one step closer to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

  Standing in front of the door, he greeted him proficiently.

   "Where is there, how can Guo's progress be compared with that of fellow Taoists in the ancient city?"

   "Who will hit the bottleneck of baby formation first, but it's really not certain!"

   "Come to the door again to disturb, and I hope that fellow Taoists in the ancient city will not be offended."

  Guo Poyun came alone, stood outside the door and clapped his hands, with a very polite attitude.

   "The way of cultivating immortals should have a lot of exchanges with colleagues, so why bother?"

   "Guo Daoyou, please!"

   As he spoke, Liu Yu made a gesture of invitation. At the same time, he swept his consciousness and carefully checked whether there were any monks peeping into his cave.

   Immediately, the two walked together to a small pavilion built on the lawn.

  After more than ten breaths, the two sat facing each other in the antique kiosk. Liu Yu personally poured a cup of spiritual tea for them, and began to greet each other politely.

  The two talked about everything from the secrets of the Dagan royal family to the scandal of a certain "fairy".

"Ugh."

  After a cup of spiritual tea was drained, Guo Poyun suddenly sighed heavily.

   "Why is Daoyou Guo like this?"

  Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the main show was about to begin, but she still asked.

  The smile on Guo Poyun's face disappeared, and his face became heavy, looking preoccupied.

  After he sighed heavily, he was silent for a moment before speaking:

   "After the Heishan Immortal Prison mission, the headquarters of the League was destroyed and had to be merged into the Purple Turban Army."

   "But those hawks in the court, like crazy, frantically attacked casual organizations similar to this alliance, beheading and arresting all walks of life."

   "The intensity of the attack has suddenly increased by several levels, which is very different from the past."

  "Under the blow of this intensity, countless comrades lost their lives, and various organizations also suffered huge losses."

   "Even the Purple Scarf Army suffered a lot of losses and had to restrain themselves to avoid the sharp edge of Qianting Holy Land."

   "Those mad dogs."

   In the end, Guo Poyun disregarded the decency of the Jindan cultivator, and began to exhale fragrance.

   Liu Yu looked serious at the beginning, but then smiled slightly.

   After saying more than a dozen sentences in Qianting, Guo Poyun straightened his face and stated the purpose of this trip:

   "At present, the organization has lost a lot, and it is urgent to replenish new blood. It is in need of a powerful fellow like the fellow Daoist of the ancient city."

   "If fellow Taoists from the ancient city join, it will definitely inspire many fellow practitioners and greatly boost morale!"

   "Furthermore, the elders in the organization also value fellow Taoists very much, so they sent Guo to persuade them many times."

   "After the ancient city fellows join, they will definitely be reused by the elders, and the future is limitless."

"how?!"

   After finishing speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Liu Yu like a torch.

   "Isn't Gu a member of the organization at this time?"

  "Every fellow has its usefulness, and it is not necessary to be on the front line to contribute to the organization."

   "Compared to performing missions to fight and kill, Gu, as an alchemist, is more suitable for quiet alchemy."

   "In this way, you can also contribute your own strength."

   "Besides, at the critical stage of cultivation, Gu still wants to use his energy."

  Unmoved in his heart, Liu Yu immediately replied without changing his face, opening his mouth for various reasons.

  The excuses are still the same as the previous few times, "Cultivate with one heart", "study alchemy", "also making contributions" and so on.

"But."

   Seeing this, Guo Poyun wanted to continue persuading.

  But Liu Yu's answer was watertight, leaving no flaws at all.

   After all, cultivation is the most important thing for cultivators, even the most fanatical members of the Purple Scarf Army.

   Only when the cultivation base is improved can it pose a threat to the Holy Land of Qianting.

  Besides, Liu Yu stayed in the Zixia Mountains, and he gave a lot of discounts in terms of elixir, which can also be counted as a contribution to the Purple Scarf Army.

   Various reasons made it difficult for Guo Poyun to refute.

   "Friends of the Ancient City."

  After a few breaths, Guo Poyun smiled wryly and shook his head.

  After repeated attempts of persuasion to no avail, seeing that the atmosphere was getting serious, he had no choice but to give up, returning in vain like the previous few times.

   "If a fellow daoist changes his mind, he can contact me at any time through the jade token of communication."

   "Farewell."

  Finally, Guo Poyun got up and clapped his hands heavily, then turned around and left the mansion along the path.

  Looking at the back of this person leaving, Liu Yu's eyes were thoughtful.

   Qianting Holy Land, intensified the crackdown on casual cultivators, and he also heard about this matter during the year he stayed in the Zixia Mountains.

  Maybe it was the change of the Yaozu that made Qianting Holy Land feel threatened, and wanted to clean up the internal hidden dangers before facing it with all its strength.

  Maybe there are too many casual repair organizations, and they are worried that they will unite to shake the foundation of the rule.

  The reason is still unknown, but since the Bo Yimeng suffered a devastating blow, Qianting Holy Land has intensified its crackdown on casual cultivators in the territory, causing heavy losses to these casual cultivators.

   Even the most famous Purple Scarf Army lost a lot, and it is rumored that several Nascent Soul Masters have fallen because of this!

   It was precisely because of the thunderous blow that caused heavy losses to various casual repair organizations that they all increased their efforts to recruit new members.

  A Golden Core cultivator like Liu Yu, who is strong and has special skills, is undoubtedly a sweet bun in the eyes of various casual cultivators.

  In addition to the Purple Scarf Army, there are more than a dozen casual repair organizations with considerable influence, who have offered him an olive branch.

  Even Yuanying Zhenjun came to solicit, but Liu Yu never let go.

  It’s just a name in the Purple Scarf Army, except for the occasional visit to Yudan Hall on weekdays, it just stays in the mansion to practice.

   "Although the Qianting Holy Land has stepped up its crackdown on casual cultivators, the Zixia Mountains have shown no sign of being affected under the protection of the "Nine Dragon Gods"."

   "You can practice with peace of mind and collect all kinds of spiritual herbs and medicines. There is no need to take risks in muddy water."

   "Besides, "Ningying Pill" and "Peiying Pill" have been obtained one after another, coupled with the advantages of the Ninth Grade Golden Pill in congealing the Nascent Soul, as long as you practice to the peak of the Golden Pill and hit the bottleneck, your success rate will be more than 50%."

   "In the process of cultivating to the peak of Jindan, if you collect several common baby-forming objects, the theoretical success rate is very likely to exceed 70%!"

   "In this case, there is no need to continue to take risks. It is better to practice safely and steadily."

   "Zongheng Jindan is indeed commendable, but it is still not enough to look at Zhenjun Shangyuanying."

  Thinking of this, Liu Yu subconsciously touched the storage ring in his hand.

The harvest from the trip to the Heishan Immortal Prison was exchanged for spirit stones through the channel of the Purple Scarf Army. Even after deducting the huge consumption of opening the Yudan Hall, the spirit stones in his hands now have steadily exceeded one million, reaching as much as 1.3 million .

  Such a huge amount of spirit stones is more than enough to buy a few relatively common baby-forming spirit objects, and through Yudantang, you can also continuously obtain spirit stones.

   After thinking for a long time in the small pavilion alone, Liu Yu got up and entered the attic, and walked towards the practice room.

   Nuo Da's mansion seemed a bit empty and deserted.

  The current Zixia Mountains seem to be calm, but how long this calm can last, he has no idea, so he has no intention of recruiting maids.

  After all, Liu Yu himself is not greedy for enjoyment, and has long been accustomed to a life of penance.

   So many years ago, it was the same way.

  And Zhuo Mengzhen's cultivation has reached the peak of the golden core in the middle stage. At this time, he is retreating to polish his mana. In recent years, it is possible to break through the late stage.

  Therefore, only Liu Yu was active in Nuo Da's mansion, which seemed a bit deserted.

   "Squeak"

  The door of the training room opened, and the subtle sound was clearly heard in the silent mansion, and the formation was also opened.

  Entering the practice room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the futon, and took out the third-grade high-quality elixir "Qingming Dan".

   "grunt"

   Swallowing it with his head raised, he immediately operated the deduced "Ninth Layer of Qingyang Kung Fu" and entered the state of cultivation.

   Soon, wisps of blue light appeared on Liu Yu's face, flickering and flickering.

   Qi refining cultivation has just broken through to the late stage of Jindan, even with the help of elixir, it is difficult to make great progress in a short period of time.

  However, the way of cultivating immortals is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, so after he broke through, he never slacked off.

  Even if the strength reaches the "Holy Child level", the daily practice has not fallen, unless there are irresistible factors.

  For example, the sequelae of exercises and so on.

   As for body refining, it was thirty or forty years earlier than Qi refining, breaking through to the late third stage.

   With the assistance of various resources over the years, his cultivation has been growing steadily, and he is one step closer to the peak of Tier 3.

  If calculated according to the qi refining period, the cultivation level of body training should be at the "eighth level of golden elixir", and the level of qi refining should be at the "seventh level of golden elixir".

  As for refining the gods, he did not fail to practice the "magic way of keeping the gods" every day.

  With the help of the "Soul Concentration Pill", the spiritual consciousness has grown slowly but steadily. Compared with when he did not take the elixir, at least he can clearly feel the growth rate.

  It's just the growth of spiritual consciousness, the gap gets bigger the further you get to the back, and the gap between each mile is not small when it reaches the level of a hundred or so miles.

  After breaking through to the skyrocketing in the late stage of Jindan, and more than a year of hard work, it still failed to increase from 150 miles to 151 miles.

   This point makes Liu Yu quite regretful.

  However, the cultivation of the primordial spirit must not be rushed, and he can only insist on practicing the "Wonderful Method of Preserving the Spirit" four times a day.

  At the same time, spend a lot of money to find spiritual things that are beneficial to the soul, and take some from time to time.

  In this way, when the situation became more and more tense, Liu Yu paid attention to the turmoil in all directions, and stayed in the Zixia Mountains to practice steadily.

  Time quietly slips away from the fingers, leaving traces on the wheel of life.

  Ten years, a snap of the fingers.

  …
