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.

After two years of fermentation, the unrest in Yan State and Nanyu State finally swept into 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 concentrated spiritual energy in Yongtai Market.

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

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 Chiyuan Pill, the 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 advanced one step ahead and reached the peak of the foundation building realm of ordinary cultivators.

As the Buddhists say, 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" to perform various skills and secrets.

Soon, he took control of his surging spiritual consciousness, and the divine light in his eyes completely subsided.

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

Two years had passed, and his appearance had not changed at all, and the years seemed to have left no trace.

Only the corners of his eyebrows and eyes had 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 also learned some of Liu Yu's habits.

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

And he didn't like to drink cold tea, he wanted warm tea that was neither cold nor hot.

So when the master was practicing, the two maids could only wait outside the practice room.

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

However, the "favor" that Yan Wu had been thinking about never came, which made this woman never forget it.

But if the master didn't have that intention, she would never dare to take the initiative.

Otherwise, if the hairpin went too far and caused the master's anger, the end might be miserable.

The maid's status was low, and the reality was so cruel, there was no choice.

"Well."

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.

Walking into 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 kind of scene was not the first time, and 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 changed into a new robe, and the fatigue caused by cultivation was swept away.

Yan Wu, wearing a lavender dress, followed him closely, with a layer of pink on her cheeks.

"Sir, the spiritual tea is ready."

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

"Well, there is nothing for you to do here."

"You go down and wait."

Liu Yu said gently.

No matter how 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, there will be no mercy in the punishment.

"Yes."

Yingge agreed first, and Yanwu followed half a breath later, and reluctantly agreed.

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 hand, 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".

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

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

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

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

It fully played the advantage of the home field, integrated many large and small forces of 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 taking out 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 to 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 monks who were initially recruited in the Phoenix Mountain area have died, and it is difficult to find familiar faces.

Even among the 300 Qi Refining cultivators from Qingzhou, only about 170 were left.

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

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, with too few people, stabilizing the situation would become a problem.

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.

There were also many casualties among the foundation-building cultivators.

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 over it. There were already many names on it.

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

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

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

This is a veritable "death list".

Even Yan Kai was seriously injured and dying in a war, but he was lucky enough to escape 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.

It must be said that 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 without even leaving a corpse.

This fellow disciple who was somewhat lustful, somewhat wretched, and cowardly died in Yan State.

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

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

Therefore, the number of Foundation Building cultivators increased instead of decreasing, reaching as many as 17 people, and more than half of the team was Foundation Building cultivators from Yan State who surrendered.

But with the control of the Soul Locking Restriction, Liu Yu was not worried about being backlashed.

"Qiu Shui wants to see 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, and wore a graceful dress with a slender waist. Her white jade fingers were painted with purple nails.

With the temperament that comes naturally, there is a kind of breathtaking beauty.

It is Jiang Qiushui!

"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 directly.

She has dealt with such things many times and is already familiar with it. Basically, there will be no mistakes.

She also knows that the brother does not like to beat around the bush and procrastinate on serious matters, so she said 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 know all this."

"Please tell these forces to send out the person in 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 himself 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 a lot of lives.

The cruel name of the Qingyang Demon Head is even more famous 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 kind of thing 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 cultivation progress.

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 like the three heroes and four heroes of 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.
