Immortal Palace Longevity

(Anti-theft chapter, refreshed after ten minutes.)

Two years later.

Yan State, Youzhou.

Yongtai Market is just a small-to-medium-sized market, located on a second-level medium-quality spiritual vein.

It is not backed by a certain monster mountain range, nor is it close to any large fairy city. It has no advantages in terms of geographical location.

But it happens to be at the intersection of several second-level resource points, and several second-level resource points are occupied by foundation-building forces. They were jointly established for the mutual exchange of resources between several forces.

But it is almost impossible to develop further.

The turmoil in Yan State and Nanyu State, after two years of fermentation, finally swept to Yongtai Market.

After a war four days ago, the flag was changed here.

At this time, in the training room of a cave with the most abundant spiritual energy in Yongtai Market.

A young man in a black robe and ordinary face was sitting cross-legged on a cushion to practice.

Bean-sized beads of sweat kept appearing on his face, rolling down and wetting his clothes.

It seemed that the exercise had reached a critical moment.

This person was Liu Yu!

His brows were furrowed at this time, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his hands were pinching the magic formula quickly and urgently.

This situation has lasted for two hours.

Time passed slowly, and after another half an hour, Liu Yu's speed of pinching the magic formula slowed down and gradually stopped.

Finally, he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of black pupils!

Two fascinating divine lights emerged from his eyes, and then slowly disappeared after a while.

This is a phenomenon that occurs when the consciousness, or mental power, grows too fast and cannot be perfectly controlled.

Ten miles range, the peak of foundation building!

Feeling the power of the consciousness at this time, Liu Yu was in a good mood, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Two years have passed, and with the help of the Red Yuan Dan, his cultivation has maintained a rapid momentum.

But it is still a little short of the fifth magic fire refining.

But in terms of spiritual consciousness, he has cultivated one step ahead and reached the peak of the foundation-building realm of ordinary cultivators.

Buddhists say that the mortal world is like a sea of ​​suffering.

The physical body is a boat on the sea of ​​suffering, and the soul and the primordial spirit are the passengers on the boat. They need to use the boat to cross the sea of ​​suffering and go to the "other shore".

But if the primordial spirit is strong enough, it can get rid of the shackles of the boat and walk freely in the sea of ​​suffering in the mortal world.

There are also descriptions of this in many Taoist classics, but the metaphors are different.

Spiritual consciousness is the external manifestation of the power of the primordial spirit. Liu Yu attaches no less importance to spiritual consciousness than to the improvement of cultivation.

The so-called "refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit".

He has a vague feeling that perhaps the primordial spirit is a key point in the cultivation of the middle realm.

...

After a short rest, Liu Yu continued to use his spiritual consciousness according to the content of the "Magic Method of Preserving the Spirit" and displayed various skills and secrets.

Soon, he controlled the soaring spiritual consciousness, and the divine light in his eyes was completely restrained.

Looking at the robes soaked with sweat, Liu Yu shook his head slightly, stood up and walked out of the practice room.

Two years have passed, and his appearance has not changed at all. Time seems to have left no trace.

Only the corners of his eyebrows and eyes have added a sense of vicissitudes of life.

"Young Master."

"The water is ready, you can take a bath at any time."

Yingge and Yanwu saluted, and the latter said in a delicate voice.

In the past two years, the two women have also learned some of Liu Yu's habits.

For example, after practicing, he basically has to take a bath and change clothes. For example, when reading classics, he likes to drink spiritual tea.

And he doesn't like to drink cold tea, but warm tea that is neither cold nor hot.

So when the master is practicing, the two maids can only wait outside the practice room.

After the master finishes practicing, one woman is responsible for serving bathing and changing clothes, and the other woman is responsible for preparing spiritual tea.

However, the "favor" that Yan Wu has been thinking about has never come, which makes this woman never forget it.

But if the master doesn't have that intention, she dare not take the initiative.

Otherwise, if the hairpin is too far, it will make the master angry, and the end may be miserable.

Maids have a low status, and reality is so cruel, there is no choice.

"Yeah."

Liu Yu responded lightly and walked straight to the bathroom.

Yan Wu lagged behind half a step and followed closely, while Yingge turned around to prepare spiritual tea.

Entering the bathroom, Liu Yu raised his hands and spread them out.

Seeing this, Yan Wu pursed her lips, resisted the shame and stretched out her white and tender palms, slowly approached, and touched the belt.

Liu Yu felt a pair of soft and boneless little hands, slowly groping on his body, and the owner of the little hands was a little restrained and nervous.

He smiled in his heart. This scene was not the first time. He had long been accustomed to it and was very calm about it.

After a while, the clothes were taken off one by one.

... (Fifty words omitted here)

When Liu Yu walked out of the bathroom, he felt refreshed and put on a new robe. The fatigue caused by cultivation was swept away.

Yan Wu, wearing a lavender dress, followed him closely, her cheeks tinged with pink.

"Sir, the tea is ready."

Seeing the master coming out, Ying Ge hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"Well, there's nothing for you to do here."

"You guys go down and wait."

Liu Yu said gently.

No matter what the maid is, she is still his own person. In the case of clear distinction between superiors and subordinates, his attitude is generally gentle.

Of course, if anyone makes a mistake, they will be punished without mercy.

"Yes."

Yingge agreed first, and Yanwu agreed unwillingly half a breath later.

The two women walked out of the cave one after the other, and soon, their graceful figures disappeared in front of them.

Liu Yu leaned on the armchair, holding a steaming spiritual tea in one hand and a book in the other, slowly flipping through it, stopping from time to time to think and ponder.

A quarter of an hour later, this thin book had reached the last page.

He put it on the table and fell into thinking again.

The mountain gate of Baiyun Temple is located at the junction of Youzhou and Bingzhou. The nearest large gathering place for immortal cultivators is "Xianque City".

Yongtaifang City is already in the second half of Youzhou, and is only about a thousand miles away from "Xianque City".

If everything goes well with the main force of the sect and his team, it will probably take a few months to reach the foot of Xianque City and start the final battle.

Recalling the past two years, Liu Yu's eyes were filled with a little sigh.

After the main force of the sect captured Jinquefang City, Baiyun Temple had completely reacted and made corresponding deployments.

It fully played the advantage of the home field, integrated many large and small forces from the two continents, arranged a line of defense, and made a tenacious resistance.

The way to this point was really difficult and thrilling, and encountered many dangers.

Even Liu Yu himself encountered an opponent of equal strength. He could not gain any advantage without using the trump card at the bottom of the box, and the progress of the task was once stagnant.

Fortunately, he found helpers and asked the senior sister Li Buyu for help at the critical moment, and finally resolved the dilemma.

For this, he also paid a lot of prices and gave up a lot of resources.

The team suffered heavy casualties. Most of the cultivators who were initially recruited in the Phoenix Mountain area have died, and it is difficult to find familiar faces.

Even the 300 Qi Refining cultivators from Qingzhou are only about 170 left.

However, with the intentional care of Liu Yu and others, there are still about 90 disciples left in the sect, which is also the result of hard work.

But fortunately, the strategy implemented since Phoenix Mountain has worked. It has been actively attracting local forces and cultivators in Yan State, and has not been stingy with rewards such as spiritual stones, elixirs, industries, and spiritual mountains.

With one hand holding the butcher knife and the other hand holding the dessert, the number of Qi Refining cultivators in the team was barely maintained at more than 500.

Otherwise, too few people would have become a problem to stabilize the situation.

After all, we can't let the foundation-building cultivators run around and be busy inside and outside. This is extremely inefficient and can't be managed at all.

And there are many casualties at the foundation-building stage.

Wei Guping, the second elder of the Wei family, died, the head of the Kang family died, and three people including Wu Yongchun, who were affiliated with the sect, died.

Liu Yu took out a list and looked at it. There were already densely packed names on it.

A rough count showed that there were more than a thousand.

Behind every cold name, there was once a living cultivator.

But now, apart from a name, what else is left, no one knows.

This is a veritable "death list".

Even Yan Kai was seriously injured and dying in a war, but he was still blessed by luck and escaped at a critical moment.

Before his injuries were healed, he had little strength left.

So now, he has returned to his original base, Guque City, to recuperate, and he doesn't have to participate in the increasingly fierce war.

I have to say, this is also a kind of luck.

This kid made a lot of money and brought enough resources to the rear, which can be regarded as "retreating bravely".

But Cui Liang was not so lucky. In the same battle, he died directly, and even his body was not left.

This fellow who was a little lustful, a little wretched, and afraid of death died in Yan State.

In Liu Yu's team alone, thousands of Qi Refining cultivators have died, and eight Foundation Establishment cultivators have also fallen.

However, thanks to the correct strategy, there were many cultivators who chose to surrender along the way.

Therefore, the number of foundation-building cultivators increased instead of decreasing, reaching as many as 17 people. More than half of the Yan State foundation-building cultivators who surrendered in the team were already there.

But with the control of the soul-locking ban, Liu Yu was not worried about backlash.

"Qiu Shui wants to see my senior brother."

While Liu Yu was thinking, a gentle voice came from the entrance of the cave, interrupting his thoughts.

"Come in."

Liu Yu transmitted the voice.

Soon, a beautiful female cultivator appeared in the cave.

She was wearing a white dress, like a fairy without dust.

This woman had picturesque eyebrows and delicate features. She wore a beautiful dress with a slender waist and purple nails on her white jade fingers.

With her natural temperament, there was a breathtaking beauty.

It was Jiang Qiu Shui!

"Brother, this is the list of casualties of the team's monks in the battle against Yongtaifang City and surrounding forces."

"And the list of forces that chose to surrender."

Jiang Qiushui sat next to Liu Yu and reported straight to the point.

She had handled such things many times and was already familiar with it, and basically there would be no mistakes.

She also knew that the brother didn't like to beat around the bush and procrastinate on serious matters, so she told him the purpose directly.

As she said that, she touched the storage bag and put the two lists on the table.

After Liu Yu picked up the two lists and checked them one by one, he pondered for a while and nodded:

"I already understand these."

"Please tell these forces to send someone to take charge. I will summon them in Yongtai Market in two months."

As the number of people who died directly or indirectly because of Liu Yu increased, he could not remember the number, and he had no feelings, let alone being touched.

Unless the death of a familiar person, there might be some ripples in his heart.

Otherwise, these lost lives are no different from grass and ants to him.

In the past two years, the Qingyang Demon Fire has been able to be upgraded to the seventh turn, and it has burned many lives.

The cruel name of the Qingyang Demon Head is well-known in the entire Youzhou Xiuxian world.

"Understood, Senior Brother."

Jiang Qiushui looked at Liu Yu and nodded meekly, with a different look in his eyes.

This is not the first time. She is very familiar with the process. The two cooperate very well. Some things will be done without instructions.

It was because of the magic weapon and talisman given by Liu Yu, and the intentional arrangement and protection, that she was able to stay safe until now.

Otherwise, with her little strength, if she participated in the mission, Cui Liang would be a lesson for her.

This made Jiang Qiushui feel warm, and she felt an inexplicable touch in her heart, and secretly vowed to never leave.

Even Liu Yu's jealousy of accepting Yingge and Yanwu had dissipated for the most part.

Only sometimes when he saw the two women, his face would still turn cold.

Seeing the charming appearance of the female cultivator in front of him, Liu Yu couldn't help but reach out and embrace her, and wanted to be gentle with her first.

"Hehe~"

Jiang Qiushui smiled gently, and then obediently lay on his chest.

After being gentle with her, with the warm and soft jade in his arms and the fragrance lingering in his nose, Liu Yu talked about business with her.

Two quarters of an hour later, all the details on how to stabilize Yongtaifang City and the surrounding areas, and replenish the number of monks in the team were discussed and completed.

At Liu Yu's signal, Jiang Qiushui reluctantly left his embrace and walked out of the cave.

When she walked out of the cave, the tenderness on her face disappeared instantly, and turned into a serious and cold look, returning to the appearance of a beautiful female cultivator in the past.

After watching the figure of this woman disappear, Liu Yu retracted his gaze and stood up.

He began to pack up some items with his own aura, preparing to return to the sect to check Ji Ruyan's progress in cultivation.

As he went deeper into Youzhou, the strength of the cultivators he met became stronger and stronger.

He felt that his strength was gradually insufficient, and his ability to control risks was gradually declining, and unexpected situations might occur at any time.

After all, Yongtaifang City is only about a thousand miles away from "Xianque City".

If this continues, it is very likely that he will encounter people of the level of three heroes and four heroes from Baiyun Temple, and unpredictable dangers will occur.

Facing such a person, Liu Yu is not very sure even if he has a talisman with him.

His strength has reached the point where he has to improve.

If we continue like this, we will probably encounter characters like the Three Heroes and Four Heroes from Baiyun Temple, and encounter unpredictable dangers.
