Beginning to practice immortality as a refugee

Chapter 518: Aftermath (Part )

Lu Ye lamented that he had become a big boss, but he was happy for only a moment, then he calmed down and remained as calm as water.

So what if you are a big shot?
The Nascent Soul cultivators who died in his hands, not to mention Madam Jiuchai, Jialuoding, and Yunyan Sou in the Mozhu Secret Realm, there were also Venerable Haijing in the East China Sea, Du Wan who covered the sky with one hand, and the Purple Thunder Madman.

It's just like that when a big boss dies, he is no different from an ordinary person, or even worse, because his Nascent Soul body may be refined into materials for cultivating immortals.

So, be low-key and be alert...

After cultivating to become the Nascent Soul, he is indeed stronger than when he reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, but if you look closely, he also has problems and weaknesses.

Firstly, before reaching the Golden Elixir stage, the Six Souls Swallowing Dragon Dao had always provided him with an endless source of mana, allowing him to fight longer and be far superior to his peers.

However, now that he had been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage and the Six Souls Swallowing Dragon Art had reached perfection, this fighting strength was gone.

I used to be able to fight for a whole day, but now I’ve become stronger and my fights are shorter.

Fortunately, there is the blessing of the powerful Vajra body that can suppress demons. In addition to being able to defend and resist, this body also has good endurance.

It cannot be compared with the theoretically infinite mana below the Golden Core level of the Six Souls Swallowing Dragon Dao, but it also exceeds that of other cultivators of the same level.

Apart from that.

Lu Ye looked left and right. Apart from the fact that he was used to having enough mana to fight for a whole day, he now felt a little anxious about the endurance of his mana.

For defense, there is the Great Vajra Body that suppresses demons; for offense, there is the Sky-Escape Sword Technique; and for spiritual secret techniques, there is the Convulsive Hunyuan Stab.

After looking around, I didn't find any other shortcomings.

"wrong……"

Lu Ye frowned. He did have a shortcoming. It wasn't in his technique, but in his personality...

The strength of my fellow Taoists and brothers is still too weak.

This time, Purple Thunder Madman brought three golden elixirs to attack the island. It just so happened that his Nascent Soul had successfully broken through. In addition, the spiritual vein of the island chosen by Madam Jiuchai below was powerful, so he defeated the enemy with the power of the formation.

But what if I’m just a few days short of achieving Nascent Soul?
What if the power of the formation is not that great, or if other situations arise, such as the disciples being bribed or someone acting as an insider to destroy the formation?
It's always a good idea to consider the worst-case scenario.

His loved ones and friends are still not safe enough. Even with the third-level spiritual veins and fourth-level formations, Lu Ye still does not feel safe.

A glimmer of enlightenment flashed in Lu Ye's eyes.

"Weakness is the original sin."

“So, they have to practice…”

"If you don't want to die, then practice until you die..."

"As a husband and elder brother, I can't bear to let them die, so I can only train them to death."

"This is the right way..."

Lu Ye realized in his heart that he couldn't wait even a moment longer.

He continued to ponder in his mind.

"Then how can we enhance their strength?"

"Gui Baozhu has reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Elixir, but unfortunately he has just broken through. Without accumulating experience for dozens of years, he will not be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"Cang Qiuke has just completed the initial stage of the golden elixir, and he is an outsider who has come to seek refuge. He worked hard for me and I gave him the island. We owe each other nothing, and I don't know his character or habits, so there is no need to invest resources for the time being."

"Pan Furong, Lan Wutong, Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi, Shu Chitu, and Elder Tiegong are six foundation-building cultivators."

“If you want to quickly strengthen the strength of your relatives and friends, you have to start with them.”

"If we can produce a few more Jindan cultivators, Zhongxiang Island will be as solid as a rock."

"Among them, Furong and Wutong had already achieved foundation building earlier than their brothers. All five of them have hope."

"The elder Tie Gong's sea of ​​qi is broken. Now he can only rely on the external puppet technique. There is no room for improvement."

"The others, such as Zhang Biao, Fan Buju, and Sister Hong, are all in the Qi training stage, but they should also be quickly promoted to the foundation building stage."

"Let me think of a way..."

Lu Ye summoned Ah Chou to come out of Yulong River.

"Good boy... Ah Chou, spit out all my treasures..."

Ah Chou stayed in silence in the river for several hours, watching his master having fun with the new slut and forgetting about the old one.

Suddenly hearing the master's call, of course he worked especially hard.

It opened its mouth and spit out.

Wow...

The entire cave, even the roads and fields, were flooded and packed full.

Lu Ye and Achou were surrounded by a pile of spiritual stones, elixirs and spiritual soldiers, and there was no room even for them to turn their necks.

Lu Ye felt very aggrieved when the Killing Slash was on him. This rival was being so mean that he even wanted to open his mouth and create a creature out of thin air to crush it and its master to death!
"Achou..." Lu Ye was furious. It had been so many years since he took count. Who would have thought that he would make so many friends with whom he had a connection.

Fortunately, his body of the Great Vajra Dharma Body is strong, otherwise he would have been injured just now, which would have been a joke.

"Quickly take them all away..."

He urged hurriedly in his heart, and only when Ah Chou opened his mouth did he empty out all his wealth.

Ever since he had Achou, Lu Ye's storage ring was just a cover-up, and his real valuable assets were all stored in Achou's stomach.

But I don’t know whether Achou brings good fortune to its owner. After so many years of fighting, the things inside have only increased and not decreased.

This is also true even if you open a Zhongxiang Island Market to sell goods.

It seems that the next step is to set up the market in the nearby sea area to speed up shipments.

Lu Ye’s thoughts turned away and he stopped thinking about it and summoned Ah Chou again.

"A Chou, spit out the divine object from the Divine Transformation Realm..."

Achou turned around in the air, opened his mouth and sprayed out four things this time, then immediately hid far away in the corner of the cave, seemingly afraid.

Even Shashengzhan, who was at odds with it, jumped up and hid in Luye's sleeve.

Then they saw three objects floating in the air, covered with talismans and prohibitions. The power of the treasures was suppressed, and only one tenth of the aura that leaked out remained, which made Achou and Shashengzhan instinctively afraid.

The three objects have different shapes. One looks like an ordinary book, but when the wind blows, the pages inside are all white.

The other was a golden bead, from which emanated Buddhist light and Zen sounds.

The last one is a pitch-black heavy sword without an edge.

Including the Emperor of Transformation's Liquid used for Gui Baozhu and Shu Chitu.

This is Lu Ye’s greatest gain in the Mozhu Secret Realm, the four great divine treasures.

Among these three divine treasures, the edgeless heavy sword is obviously a killing treasure; the wordless heavenly book has three pages, and each page can help people deduce a martial art below the divine realm and approach perfection.

As for the Zen Sound Golden Bead, it is an auxiliary spiritual treasure that can help people achieve enlightenment.

These three magical treasures were originally obtained by Madam Jiuchai, Jialuoding and others. They took great pains to place restrictions on them and barely subdued the four treasures.

In fact, this is because the four treasures have been growing in the Suzaku Great Treasure Land of the Mozhu Secret Realm and have never seen the methods of the cultivators, so they fell into the ambush of the cultivators' formation.

As long as these four treasures are allowed to leave the treasure land, gain freedom, and gain some experience in the human world, the Nascent Soul cultivators will cry for their parents and run away when they see them.

Now the Divine Emperor's liquid has been shared by Lu Ye, Gui Baozhu and Shu Chitu. After all, Lu Ye himself also has a wooden ape incarnation.

The remaining three are here.

Lu Ye looked at them one by one.

Forget about the heavy sword without an edge. This thing has the greatest killing intent. It is impossible to use it to help people practice. However, it can help people go to the west.

The Wordless Heavenly Book does not have such a great killing power, but it can be used to serve several people who are practicing Qi and building their foundation. If they have doubts about their skills, Lu Ye can solve them, so there is no need for this powerful weapon.

Now look at the Zen Sound Golden Pearl from the other side.

This is a magical treasure that can help people attain enlightenment.

Now Furong, Wutong and several of their brothers are staying in the high tower, absorbing the spiritual energy condensed by the spirit gathering array, which is equivalent to the fourth-level spiritual energy, and is dozens of times the daily intake and output of cultivators of the same level.

However, they can only fight ten people at once, and what limits their progress is the strength of their spiritual awareness and their personal comprehension.

Coincidentally, the Zen Sound Golden Bead can make up for this weakness.

Its Zen sound can help people realize the truth, cleanse their spirits and strengthen their consciousness.

The only thing to worry about is that some people use it to build their foundation and practice Qi. Will they suddenly become so depressed one day that they want to convert to Buddhism?
Pan Furong, it shouldn’t happen. I’m here.

Lan Wutong is a maniac who loves his own people. As long as he has obsessive thoughts, he will not be converted.

Wang Hu is even less likely to do so, as he has a wife and children; Zhang Cunyi also has his big son Zhang Biao; Shu Chitu and Gui Baozhu are a little dangerous, as they are both bachelors.

It seems that it would be best to find a companion for them.

Lu Ye decided to practice with everyone for a few months, gradually unlock the restrictions of the Zen Sound Golden Bead, and see where everyone's limits are.

You can set up a Qingxin formation, place the sealed Zen Sound Golden Bead in the center, and arrange several rings outside. Those with strong resistance to the Zen Sound Golden Bead can be placed in the inner ring; those with weak resistance can be placed in the outer ring.

In this way, with the help of this magical treasure, maybe in a few years not only will there be a few Jindan people on the island, but Gui Baozhu may also be able to break through and achieve the Nascent Soul stage.

Lu Ye figured this out and felt happy.

But no.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Relying on only one thing cannot guarantee the safety of your loved ones and friends.

He thought hard.

If he were to go back to that day, and if he had not achieved the Nascent Soul stage, the Purple Thunder Madman would have brought other Nascent Soul cultivators to him on that day.

If they can’t hold the high tower formation anymore, won’t the entire army be wiped out in the end?

In the past, he had no ability because he was not in the Nascent Soul stage, but now that he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, he can set up a fourth-order formation and a teleportation formation!

This formation has been passed down since ancient times, and the formation diagram is fixed. He only needs to buy one and copy it.

He also learned from the notes of his predecessors that the difficulty of the teleportation array lies in the layout of the array, and many core components must be refined with the Nascent Soul Fire.

Lu Ye couldn’t do it before, but now he can.

The second difficulty is that the teleportation array involves the avenue of time and space, and requires an auxiliary material called Xuankong Crystal, which is extremely rare.

Other things like top-grade spirit stones and precious materials are not a problem for him.

After the main formation is refined, it is set up in the high tower. Then, a hidden deserted island is selected in the nearby sea, and a cave is found to set up the secondary formation in it.

If there is a disaster on Zhongxiang Island in the future.

Core personnel can enter the teleportation array, and as long as they activate the spirit stone, they will be teleported to the deserted island.

This is the second point.

Lu Ye was thinking hard again.

Now that I am a Nascent Soul cultivator, my vision has also broadened. In fact, it now seems that there are problems with the techniques that everyone is practicing.

Things like the Liujia Shending physical technique practiced by Wang Hu, the Fire Snake Galloping Technique practiced by Zhang Cunyi, the Earth Demon Spirit Ascension Technique practiced by Shu Chitu, and the Light and Dark Sword Slash practiced by Pan Furong, are all far inferior. After all, they are only the skills of the Jindan sect Gushan School and are not considered top-notch.

However, since the cultivation base of the first few people was too low, there was little point in changing their Taoism.

Therefore, Lu Ye would rather refine puppets for a few people to improve their combat effectiveness before he went into seclusion, so that the effect would be more rapid.

Now, from a long-term perspective, all four people's skills need to be replaced.

It seems that we need to carefully choose from them.

In this way, more than a month passed quickly.

This day.

The most core cave in the tower.

There are dense formations all over the place, with a golden bead inlaid in the middle of the sky above the cave. The outside of the golden bead is covered with layers of transparent rune prohibitions, sealing most of its power.

Only a few Zen sounds were released from inside, and these sounds bloomed in all directions in the form of light golden light waves.

When it falls on a living being, it turns into golden rings that cover it. It seems that there are countless believers chanting praises in the rings.

The sound is soft at first, but when it reaches people's ears it is like a morning bell or an evening drum, awakening the deaf and giving people a sudden epiphany.

It is like a lost traveler in the darkness suddenly seeing the dawn ahead; or like a traveler who has been hungry and thirsty in the desert for a long time finally seeing dew.

Seven layers of rings were set up outside the golden beads, and each layer of rings was set up with complicated runes and rituals.

Lu Ye was sitting in a corner outside the seven circles, his eyes half-closed.

He worked hard for more than a month and found this seven-ring defense formation from a pile of old papers. He modified it for use in enlightenment and experimented with it several times. Today he is finally going to officially try it out.

In the big formation.

Gui Baozhu transformed himself into a turtle the size of a normal human being and sat in the innermost circle. He raised his bald head and listened with fascination.

Lu Ye held a mirage bead in his hand and input his magic power into it. The mirage bead immediately emitted a faint white light, covering everyone in the seven-ring formation.

In this way, what everyone realizes, thinks, and imagines will be displayed above their heads, so if they encounter danger, Lu Ye can easily go to rescue them.

The images of various gods, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajra protectors, etc. are displayed on the capitals of the Guibao columns.

The common point is that these gods all like to step on a turtle under their feet, and the turtle looks almost exactly like Gui Baozhu.

As expected, he is a person who likes to flatter others. The demon clan only respects strength. If the Buddha is strong, they will worship the Buddha, and if the demon is strong, they will admire the demon.

Gui Baozhu will not be converted.

The second circle slightly outside is empty.

In the third circle, the five blue people are sitting cross-legged.

Lan Wutong was originally chosen by the real clan leader Lan He because he was also a man who valued friendship and loyalty, put the interests of the family first, and was willing to sacrifice his life for it.

Now there was a look of enlightenment on his face.

There seemed to be a group of little people above his head. Lan Wutong was holding a sword, chopping down the tribesmen one by one. He looked crazy and roared angrily - the tribesmen were just flesh shackles, and family affection was a poisonous iron chain. Hardship locked up my true self. I had to cut them all off today, be myself again, and become an immortal...

Lu Ye looked at it and shook his head.

The mind of this disciple of mine is unstable. It's not a problem of him needing to be converted. He is almost going astray.

Lu Ye pulled Lan Wutong out another circle with a casual pull.

After Lan Wutong retreated a circle, he heard the Zen sound become weaker. The madness on his face finally subsided, and he returned to normal, with a mirage bead shining on his head.

The murderer who just slaughtered his fellow tribesmen has now turned into a hunchbacked giant, carrying countless tribesmen on his back and struggling forward, going from one extreme to another.

Lu Ye looked at him and shook his head. Let him be. Everyone has his own gains and opportunities.

But cultivating immortality, after all, is about cultivating a person, and that person can only be yourself, and has nothing to do with others.

Whether it is your loved ones or relatives and friends, they are all passers-by on the road of cultivating immortals. Perhaps someone will be lucky enough to accompany you to the end.

But no matter what, on the road of cultivating immortals, it is you, the lone traveler, who is working hard and exploring forward!

If Lan Wutong cannot see through this layer, his future potential may not be very great.

In the fourth circle, besides Lan Wutong, there was also Pan Furong. She sat on the futon with a peaceful look on her face.
When illuminated by the mirage pearl, the image that appeared above her head was a husband and wife living in harmony, with many children and grandchildren, a farmhouse in the countryside, and the sounds of chickens and dogs from the neighbors.

Pan Furong said that practicing Taoism is very simple. If my husband wants to practice Taoism, then I will accompany him to see the scenery at the top of the mountain.

My wife has a very peaceful state of mind.

Perhaps because she had been a nun under Nun Sanhei for ten years, Pan Furong turned out to be particularly Buddhist and Zen-minded. Inspired by the Zen sound and golden beads, her mind became lively, her magic power was agile, and her cultivation level increased visibly.

“Okay, okay, okay…” Lu Ye was surprised and delighted watching from outside.

My wife is so enlightened. Although she has Buddhist nature, she is obviously a homebody.

She was the type of person who swallowed up all the benefits of the Zen Sound Golden Pearl and then blocked herself from salvation.

Lu Ye waved his sleeves.

Pan Furong took a step forward and entered the third circle.

If her strength was not only at the middle stage of foundation building, in fact, it would be enough for her mentality to enter the first stage.

Lu Ye looked down again and saw that the third people in the fifth circle were Wang Hu, Zhang Cunyi, and Shu Chitu.

and many more.

Did he see what he hit?
Under the care of Mirage Pearl.

Hu Zi lives in a mansion, sitting majestically on a throne, leaning forward, his eyes as bright as light bulbs, and there seems to be saliva at the corners of his mouth!

In the hall in front of him, a group of dancers were dancing gracefully with enchanting postures.

Lu Ye’s eyes almost popped out.

Hu Zi, I really didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are such a tiger!
So you like this?
Why don’t you call your big brother to enjoy it with you?

In the Mirage Pearl, Wang Hu was drinking good wine, looking at the dancing beauties below and complaining.

“You don’t know…”

"I'm so miserable..."

"I thought she was a good person before we got married."

"Who knew she would be so jealous after getting married!"

"We are not allowed to have a female in our house. We have to catch any mosquitoes that fly in to see if they are male or female!"

"The male was castrated, and the female was driven out by a fight!"

"It's really hard to live like this..."
