Immortal Palace Longevity

It is foreseeable that many things will change as the position changes.

If it is allowed to develop freely, the familiar fellows in the past will definitely drift away.

But if all this is maintained by interests, it will be completely different.

So in these three years, Liu Yu intentionally or unintentionally spread his identity as a second-level alchemist, and some familiar fellows came to visit him.

When asked, Liu Yu frankly admitted his alchemy attainments and promised to sell some pills to these fellows at a limited and more favorable price.

Of course, the number of pills flowing out will never be large, and it must be in line with the number of normal alchemists, but the purpose should be achieved.

Although there are all kinds of open and secret struggles among the three veins of Yuanyang, with the pressure of the old ancestor Tianfeng, they still maintain a relatively restrained state and have not fallen into crazy internal consumption.

There is no lack of fighting and friction between the three veins, but there is also no lack of mutual exchanges in private, so Liu Yu's actions will not violate taboos.

Sufficient connections can reduce the dependence on the Yan family. Although the two sides are still in the "honeymoon period", it is unclear what the future will be like.

Liu Yu always likes to make plans early.

Three years have passed, and tomorrow is the apprentice ceremony. He paced back to the cave and took the rare spiritual herbs to look through again.

Memorizing the appearance characteristics, effects and growth conditions of various rare spiritual herbs is useful whether you are an alchemist or walking in the world of immortal cultivation.

The lights in the hall did not go out all night, and its owner also read all night without sleep.

The next day, the hour of Mao just arrived.

Liu Yu, who had not slept for several days and nights, was still in high spirits. He put several thick rare spiritual herbs into the storage bag, tidied his clothes a little, and then left the cave.

Although his cultivation had reached the peak of the initial stage of foundation building, Liu Yu immediately used the Hidden Spirit Technique as soon as he left the cave, hiding a small part of his cultivation and mana, showing that his cultivation was ordinary, and his cultivation speed was also maintained at a level slightly faster than that of the three spiritual roots cultivators.

Using a top-grade spiritual weapon in the initial stage of foundation building was still too conspicuous.

Adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile as much as possible, although he already had four top-grade spiritual weapons in his hands, he was not prepared to show them to the public unless it was absolutely necessary.

He would not keep a low profile blindly, but he would still hide his shortcomings when he should.

He took out the Mother-Child Soul Chasing Blade from his storage bag with a slap, and Liu Yu skillfully controlled the magic weapon to soar into the sky, turning into a black light and flying towards Tongtian Peak.

Jiang Qiushui also met the conditions for participating in the ceremony, but Liu Yu "discussed" with this woman and "persuaded" her not to participate, and she agreed without much hesitation.

Although the Yuanshen prohibition planted according to the magic method of storing the spirit is extremely secretive, it is still possible for a Jindan cultivator to find it if he carefully investigates it.

If Jiang Qiushui is lucky enough to be valued by an elder, it will undoubtedly increase the variables.

Liu Yu simply let this girl stay in charge of the Jinxing Yudan Hall and not watch the disciple-recruiting ceremony.

Tongtian Peak is the only fourth-level spiritual mountain within the scope of the Yuanyang Sect's mountain gate. It has reached a level close to the fourth-level upper grade. It is the absolute center of the Yuanyang Sect. The entire sect is built around this spiritual mountain and then spreads out to the surrounding areas.

The seven main peaks surround it a hundred miles away, spreading outward with this mountain as the center. Generally speaking, the closer the spiritual mountain is to Tongtian Peak, the higher the level of the spiritual mountain's spiritual veins, except for special cases.

This situation is said to have started after Yuanyang Sect ruled Qingzhou and became the overlord. It is said that the Yuanying ancestor at that time slaughtered the remnants of the previous generation of forces, exterminated all the disciples, and used the great magical power of moving mountains and filling the sea on its spiritual veins, forcibly moving it to the gate of Yuanyang Sect, creating the current situation.

Tongtian Peak condenses the most essential power of Yuanyang Sect. There are nearly two hundred foundation-building cultivators practicing in it, and there are also more than ten Jindan elders living here. The cave of the Dinghaishenzhen Tianfeng ancestor is at the top of the peak.

Liu Yu drove the escape light for a moment, until three hours later, a majestic and magnificent spiritual mountain came into view.

Tongtian Peak is smart and majestic, with an astonishing height of more than 3,000 feet. It is surrounded by clouds and mist only at the waist of the mountain. As for higher places, only a hazy black shadow can be seen through the clouds and mist.

From a distance, it seems like a giant pillar supporting the sky, supporting this piece of heaven and earth, and it seems to play the role of connecting the sky and the earth, connecting the two into a whole.

In the eyes of ordinary mortals or low-level cultivators, this is a legend and a myth!

No matter how many times he saw it, Liu Yu was still shocked.

Even though he had reached the foundation-building stage, he looked as small as an ant under the majestic Tongtian Peak.

As the distance gradually approached, Liu Yu calmed the ripples in his heart, retracted his gaze, and controlled the escape light to fall to the foot of Tongtian Peak.

On the top of the mountainside is the cave where the Jindan elder and the Yuanying ancestor sit. The foundation-building cultivators cannot go there for no reason, so the disciple-taking ceremony is naturally held at the foot of the mountain.

The disciple-taking ceremony is extremely important to many foundation-building cultivators, but it is just a trivial matter for the Jindan ancestor, and even under normal circumstances, it cannot attract the attention of the Tianfeng ancestor.

The sunlight at noon is not so hot, shining on a square at the foot of Tongtian Peak.

This square is extremely wide, with a preliminary estimate of three or four hundred feet in length and width, and is called the Zhenyang Daochang.

On the east side of the square, there are many pavilions and waterside pavilions, all of which are simple and natural, not luxurious or beautiful.

If it is normal, some foundation-building monks will sit here to discuss the Dao, exchange cultivation experiences and various observations. If there are disagreements, they often argue until their faces turn red.

On the west side of the square, five twenty-foot-long and wide battle platforms were built, all made of black diamond that can be used to refine top-grade magic tools, which made countless cultivators sigh at the generosity of the sect.

They also asked the skilled array master to engrave various high-level runes such as solidity, fire resistance, and ice resistance on the battle platform, which is enough to withstand the battles of the foundation-building cultivators.

If a cultivator has newly mastered a powerful spell, or obtained a powerful magic tool or spiritual tool, he can invite his friends to the stage to compete.

Every few years or more than ten years, a Jindan elder will appear here to preach and impart his experience in cultivation. If the elders are in a good mood for a period of time, they may be able to listen to the preaching for several consecutive years.

Of course, the cultivators who come here to listen to the preaching are not limited to those who live in the Tongtian Peak. The foundation-building cultivators who choose to open a cave in the Lingshan of the sect can also come.

Liu Yu's light of escape fell on the Zhenyang Dojo, and he put the Soul Chasing Blade into his storage bag, and then walked towards the building on the east side of the dojo.

At this time, there were nearly two hundred cultivators scattered in the buildings on the other side of the dojo, some tasting spiritual tea and spiritual wine alone, and some gathering in groups of three or two to discuss current affairs and make bold statements.

The Tongtian Peak cave house, even at the foot of the mountain, requires at least the initial stage of foundation building to own it, so Qi Refining disciples are generally not allowed to approach Tongtian Peak, and naturally cannot come to watch the disciple-taking ceremony.

Therefore, among the two hundred people, only a dozen or so are in the Qi Refining realm, and it is obvious that these people are not small.

As for the other one hundred or so foundation-building cultivators, most of them are here to watch the fun. Liu Yu does not believe that there are so many cultivators who meet the requirements. If so, the competition would be too fierce.

The feeling of cultivation is very comfortable, but the hard life of cultivation is dull and boring for ten years, and not all cultivators can endure it.

It was a grand event that happened to be held once every forty years, so it was normal to have a lively atmosphere. He completely understood.

Besides, maybe he could make a name for himself in front of the Golden Core Elder?

Liu Yu found the senior brother who was in charge of registration, handed over the sect token politely, and briefly explained his situation. He successfully registered.

Then he turned his eyes and scanned the pavilions and waterside pavilions, planning to sit down somewhere first. After all, the disciple-taking ceremony would not start until the hour of the dog, and there were still several hours left. It would be too conspicuous to stand here all the time.

"Junior Brother Liu, this way!"

At this time, a familiar voice came.

"Cui Liang" "Qian Zhijin"

Liu Yu turned his head calmly and saw two familiar fellow disciples sitting in a small pavilion and greeting him.

Cui Liang, the sex-hungry ghost, was already very familiar.

As for the greedy Senior Brother Qian, Liu Yu actually had a good impression of him. Although he was a little greedy, at least he was trustworthy in accepting spirit stones and was very principled.

He liked to interact with such trustworthy and principled cultivators.

With a smile on his face, Liu Yu walked towards the pavilion, and when he got closer, he bowed from a distance and greeted them warmly:

"Senior Brother Cui, Senior Brother Qian."

"Senior Brother Qian, we haven't seen each other for many years. I haven't congratulated you on your foundation building yet."

"I didn't expect that what we said back then would come true. You and I both advanced to the foundation building stage. We didn't even have to change our names, which saved a lot of effort."

As both were in the foundation building stage, they naturally wouldn't be arrogant, and they also stood up and bowed from a distance.

Qian Zhijin smiled and said:

"When I saw you that day, I felt that Junior Brother Liu was extraordinary and definitely not an ordinary person."

"Today it seems that I was right. Junior Brother Liu really broke through the bottleneck of foundation building."

"What's more rare is that Junior Brother has also made great progress in the way of alchemy. At this rate, he can expect to achieve the golden elixir in the future!"

He said this, obviously knowing Liu Yu's deeds.

Qian Zhijin was in a very complicated mood. He saw with his own eyes that Liu Yu was promoted from an ordinary outer sect disciple to an inner sect disciple in a short time, and later he broke through the foundation building and became a second-level alchemist. It can be said that his road was smooth.

The care of the Yan family? Or another adventure?

Qian Zhijin didn't know, but he knew that such a cultivator should not be offended.

"No, no, Senior Brother Qian, you are too kind!"

"My foundation building was also extremely dangerous. I just succeeded by luck. The alchemy thing also had a flash of inspiration and made rapid progress."

"It was just luck. I don't deserve Senior Brother Qian's praise."

Liu Yu was already quite familiar with this set of business flattery. He laughed and calmly directed the topic to another place.

"Junior Brother Liu, are you here to participate in the disciple-taking ceremony?"

"Then you and Junior Brother Qian may become opponents."

The three of them sat down while chatting and laughing, and Cui Liang joked with a smile.

"We are just showing off our specialties. The choice is entirely up to the elders."

"It has little to do with each other. The key lies in the elders' choice. We are not competitors at all."

"If the elders like us, it is not impossible to choose three or five in a row. If the elders are not interested in this, no matter how you perform, it will not have much effect."

Liu Yu shook his head slightly and said with a smile.

"Junior Brother Liu is right, that's right!"

Qian Zhijin nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement, and then sighed softly.

At this point, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Cui Liang smiled and took the initiative to talk about some topics between men to adjust the atmosphere in the pavilion.

When talking about Qian Zhijin, he became energetic. The two of them had "strange" smiles on their faces and talked endlessly, as if they had a common hobby.

"Money and sex are inseparable."

Liu Yu sighed inwardly when he saw this.

But if the two of them knew that he was already an "appointed disciple," how would they feel?

Liu Yu listened most of the time, and occasionally added a sentence or two, but obviously did not focus all his attention on it, and his eyes began to wander among the pavilions and waterside pavilions.

He could only name a very small number of the Foundation Establishment monks present, and most of them were strangers or familiar faces.

Suddenly, Liu Yu's eyes paused and settled on a monk wearing a red robe, with a fair face and fiery red eyebrows.

Judging from the aura of his cultivation, he is still in the category of newly promoted foundation building, but there is a faint evil aura on his body, which can only be formed when too many monks of the same level are killed.

"If you guessed correctly, this person is the "Little Flame Demon" Zhou Yan who was extremely famous during the Qi Refining Period, right?"

Liu Yu flashed this idea. Although he had never met him, judging from his cultivation and appearance, he was 80% sure.

It is rumored that Zhou Yan is extremely talented in fire-attribute spells. He has reached the point where he can easily cast them, and his power in casting is extremely high.

Those fiery red eyebrows are obviously the result of practicing fire-attribute skills to a high level, and their skills are definitely not ordinary skills.

Perhaps because he had been watched for a long time, the red-browed man, who seemed quite aloof when drinking alone, noticed it, frowned and suddenly turned his head to look over.

As if due to his nature, his eyes looked a little fierce.

Liu Yu didn't feel guilty at all about being discovered secretly, and looked at him calmly, which was like a breeze blowing on his face.

Two moments later, the two of them looked away in unison.

"Junior Brother Liu, this person is the Zhou Yan who shined in the Hanwu Camp and then returned to the sect to build the foundation."

"This man became famous because of the battle at the Lingshi Mine, and even several elders have heard about it."

"With this person's reputation, I think he is a sure shot this time, and he is very likely to be favored by a certain elder."

"It's not impossible to be directly accepted as a direct disciple. I really envy us!"

Qian Zhijin noticed Liu Yu's gaze and explained, with a look of envy mixed with a trace of jealousy.

Liu Yu nodded slightly when he heard this, thoughtfully.

I couldn't help but compare my own strength with him, and the final answer I got was that during the Qi refining period, there should be about the same difference between the two, and we won't know who wins until they fight each other.

But when he reaches the foundation-building realm, his cultivation, spiritual consciousness, spiritual weapons, spells, etc. have rapidly improved, and he should far surpass his opponent.

During the conversation, waiting for several hours does not feel like a long time, and time flies by at midnight.

At this time, the sky had darkened. Under the control of a monk, the lotus lanterns with huge luminous pearls rose into the sky and were arranged into the Yuanyang Sect's iconic flame pattern, illuminating the entire Zhenyang Dojo. Bright as day.

"The hour of Xu has arrived. Please come forward to all the junior brothers who are participating in the ceremony."

"As for those who come to watch the ceremony, please stand in the building and watch the ceremony. Do not lose your dignity in front of the elders."

When the time came, the leader Zhuang Ziling stood in the square and used amplification to spread the sound throughout the pavilions and waterside pavilions.

There are many famous monks in the field. Some monks don't have to buy Zhuang Ziling's account, but the Jindan elders will come later, but they must not lose their etiquette.

So the monks participating in the ceremony walked out of the building, while those observing the ceremony stayed inside the building to watch.

Liu Yu and Qian Zhijin left the pavilion together and came to the square, waiting for the arrival of the elders.

A rough count showed that there were sixty-three foundation-building monks participating in the ceremony.

"There are about ten more people than before."

Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and came to this conclusion.

Deciding to participate in the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony, he naturally learned some information in this area and knew that in recent years, the number of people who met the requirements to participate was generally around fifty.

Is it because of the war in the sect?

Shaking her head, Liu Yu didn't think much, folded her hands on her chest and waited quietly without squinting.

But after a while, the elders still did not arrive. Some monks who were not good-hearted began to lose their temper. Although they did not whisper to each other, they began to look around.

"That is?"

Suddenly, a monk looked towards the south and couldn't help but make a sound in a very surprised tone.

Liu Yu's heart moved and she looked in the same direction.

I saw two rays of light, one red and one white, in the sky in the south, rushing towards me at extremely fast speeds.

As the distance gets closer, the spiritual pressure attached to the escape light becomes more and more powerful. This level of spiritual pressure is also very powerful among Jindan monks.

Even Liu Yu felt as if there was a big stone pressing on his heart, and it was very uncomfortable as if it was stuck in his throat.

But what surprised him even more was that the magic weapon in the light had been seen in the Hanwu Lingshi Mine, and he had a very deep memory.

The silver-white flying sword magic weapon from the Waning Moon Valley! The magic weapon of Hongxiu Tower in Piaoxue Pavilion!
