Immortal Palace Longevity
Chapter 38: The Shadow of War
Jiang Qiushui didn't expect Liu Yu to suddenly say something to recruit her and wanted her to do something for him. She was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly froze.
This once taciturn junior brother, a little transparent in the other courtyard, not only has a higher cultivation level than her, but also has become an inner sect senior brother, and even said such "bold words", so her proud heart was a little ashamed and annoyed, as if insulted.
However, this shame came and went quickly. The interests of the cultivators came first. The reality was that if she wanted to quickly break through to the late stage of Qi Refining, it would be the safest to buy the elixir that broke through the bottleneck. It would take several years to collect that amount of spirit stones by herself, and all the spirit stones were used to buy the elixir that broke through the bottleneck. After that, would she only rely on meditation to refine Qi?
It was far less quick than working for Senior Brother Liu, the alchemist, to earn spirit stones, and with her communication skills, it was easy for her to handle some elixirs and do some chores.
Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Qiushui's mind, calculating the gains and losses, and suppressing the strangeness in her heart.
She suddenly smiled at Liu Yu, stood up, bent down slightly to fill the tea for Liu Yu, and her collar seemed to reveal a touch of white. As a beautiful woman, she certainly knew how to use her beauty, which was something she could rely on.
"Junior sister is of course willing to share the worries of Senior Brother Liu, and will do things for Senior Brother in the future. Senior Brother must pity me!"
She held the teapot with both hands, and a thin stream of water flowed out of the spout of the pot with a move of her arm. At the same time, she opened her cherry lips and spoke softly to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu felt the change in Jiang Qiushui's attitude, which he was happy to see. Attitude is a mask of the soul and can explain a lot of things.
At this time, he was looking down from a high place and easily glimpsed the beautiful scenery. At the age of 21 in this life, he had never touched a woman, so it was inevitable that he had a hint of lust in his heart, but he knew that this could only be viewed from a distance and not played with for the time being. He used reason to suppress the "bold" idea, and his eyes became clear again.
"Okay, okay, as long as Junior Sister Jiang does a good job for me, Liu will never treat Junior Sister badly!"
After the tea was filled and Jiang Qiushui sat down again, Liu Yu picked up the teacup and clinked glasses with her with tea instead of wine. For a moment, both the host and the guest were happy.
The reason why he chose Jiang Qiushui to handle the pills for him was that he was familiar with her. He had been in Qingmu Peak for so many years and had a better understanding of her personality. Secondly, this woman was good at communication and well-informed. Although she knew some outer disciples, it was not a problem for her to handle a few bottles of pills and some chores for him every month.
Jiang Qiushui noticed Liu Yu's clear eyes, and felt relieved and a little disappointed. This meant that she had to do things honestly and there was no shortcut.
"Has there been any major events in the sect recently? Liu went to Qingquan Peak yesterday and saw many fellow disciples in a hurry and solemn. Did something major happen?"
Liu Yu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and then said to Jiang Qiushui.
When this was mentioned, Jiang Qiushui's face was heavy, and he spoke slowly:
"A month ago, at the border of Qingzhou and Jingzhou, an inner sect disciple discovered a spiritual stone vein. After careful exploration, this medium-sized spiritual stone vein was discovered."
"The disciple immediately reported it to the sect, and the sect immediately sent people to garrison there, but for some reason the news leaked out halfway, and the Hehuan Sect of Jingzhou got the news."
"The Hehuan Sect of Jingzhou immediately sent a team of cultivators to sneak attack the disciples stationed in our sect. Now the two sides have fought several battles around the spiritual stone mine, and neither is willing to give in."
"I heard that dozens of our sect's Qi Refining disciples have been killed or injured, and even two of our uncles in the Foundation Establishment stage have died. The two sects are gradually fighting each other. Now there is a lot of panic outside, and the Qi Refining disciples are unwilling to be sent to that battlefield!"
When she said this, her beautiful eyes drooped, and a trace of worry flashed across her. When a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage goes to the battlefield, he is really helpless and might be killed by a high-level cultivator.
Spirit stone mine is also a special ore, but it can absorb spiritual energy. Often, places where spirit stone mines are hidden are spiritual veins with abundant spiritual energy. These special ores slowly become spiritual stones with rich spiritual power under the nourishment of spiritual energy.
A medium-sized spirit stone mine can often be mined for hundreds of years, which can benefit a large sect with a Yuanying cultivator. It can increase the foundation of the sect, collect more disciples to expand its strength, and the sect will become stronger and stronger.
You should know that the five major sects in Chu State have a medium-sized spirit stone mine and several small spirit stone mines, which can support the daily consumption of a sect, cultivate so many high-level cultivators, and completely widen the gap with other small sects and families.
It can be said that the spirit stone mine is the lifeline of the cultivation world. It is precisely because of these lifelines that the five major sects can always stand firm and grow bigger like a snowball.
No sect can give up such a huge benefit. I believe that the other three sects in Chu will join this feast after hearing the news. They will not let Yuanyang Sect and Hehuan Sect get the spiritual stone mine to become bigger and stronger. If things go wrong, it will turn into a war that sweeps across the Chu country's cultivation world!
Liu Yu was also shocked when he heard the news. He felt that a war that swept across the Chu country's cultivation world might come. At that time, if he participated in this war with the strength of the Qi Refining Stage, he might really fall at any time.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu's pride in breaking through the late stage of Qi Refining completely disappeared, and a sense of urgency to improve his strength rose in his heart.
Speaking of this heavy news, the cave suddenly became quiet. The two looked at each other in silence, and neither of them had a very good solution. If they were direct descendants of the family or disciples of the master and apprentice, they could ask their elders to arrange a task in the rear, so they would not have to go to the battlefield. Even if they went to the battlefield, they would be taken care of by their elders, which was much safer than them.
The disciples from the other courtyard were all young children searched from the secular world. Those with good talents had long been accepted as disciples by the deacons and elders of the sect. Most of the rest were mediocre people with no connections in the sect. If a fight really broke out, they would probably be the first to join the battlefield as cannon fodder.
When Liu Yu thought of this, his brows were furrowed, and he felt irritated, but he could do nothing about it. This was the sadness of the lower-level cultivators. They had low cultivation and no background, and they would inevitably become cannon fodder.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu did not want to stay for long, and looked at Jiang Qiushui, who also frowned slightly.
He reached out and took out seven bottles of Qingling Pills from the storage bag and placed them on the table, asking Jiang Qiushui to sell these bottles of pills, and use the spiritual stones obtained to buy the recipe of Biling Pills and five spiritual medicines for refining Biling Pills. The remaining spiritual stones should be handed over to him when they meet, and all this should be done as soon as possible.
Liu Yu thought about it, walked over lightly, patted her shoulders with one hand, and solemnly told her to be low-key and not to attract too much attention. Then he encouraged her a few words and said goodbye.
Jiang Qiushui blushed and became nervous. She stroked her hair and quickly stood up to see him off. Since she had agreed to work for him, she should adjust her attitude.
She fell a few steps behind Liu Yu, looking at the figure with complicated eyes, feeling that she could not see through this senior brother more and more. She did not expect that he, who was usually taciturn, would make such a frivolous move.
