Immortal Palace Longevity

"Swoosh"

Under the setting sun, a group of people flew from afar and slowly approached the Zixia Mountains.

"Is this the "San Xiu Holy Land"?

The green escape light paused, and Liu Yu looked far away.

In the distance, among the continuous mountains, a series of escape lights rose and fell, slowly shuttling between the mountains.

Some were in twos and threes, and some were alone.

Even the relatively rare "spiritual ships" had dozens of ships coming in and out at a glance, which was very lively.

Pieces of ancient buildings were looming in the major spiritual mountains, and all kinds of cultivators were active in them, full of the atmosphere of human fireworks.

Here, there is no need to worry about the pursuit of the Qianting Holy Land for the time being, it is like a paradise.

Looking around, among the thousands of spiritual mountains, the "Zixia Mountain" is the most majestic, reaching an astonishing height of four thousand feet.

It is like a Dinghai magic needle, standing tenaciously between heaven and earth, giving people enough confidence.

Liu Yu's keen sense of spirit clearly sensed countless strong or weak auras, ranging from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul.

"So many casual cultivators gathered here."

"It is worthy of being called the "Holy Land of Random Cultivators."

"Let's go."

After observing silently for a while, Liu Yu smiled slightly and said to Zhuo Mengzhen.

After that, the light of escape moved and continued to fly forward. Not long after, it officially entered the "Purple Cloud Mountains".

"Swoosh"

With the identity token of the Buyi League, Liu Yu and the other two easily entered the Purple Cloud Mountains without any obstruction.

And rented a third-level cave on the fourth-level "Hongxia Mountain" and quickly settled down here.

The realm of the Jindan period is also a well-known master among casual cultivators, so the three did not encounter the legendary "dog eyes look down on people" plot, and everything went smoothly.

...

Time flies, and a year passes quickly.

"Shopkeeper, I want two bottles of "Qi-refining Powder" this time!"

A foundation-building cultivator with a full beard walked quickly into an antique shop and shouted to the clerk from a distance.

This shop is called "Yudantang", a newly opened shop that mainly sells elixirs.

Because of the right price, it has gained a great reputation among the nearby sacred mountains in just one year, and basically has no worries about customers.

"Okay, senior, please wait a moment, two bottles of "Qi-refining Powder" will arrive soon."

The clerk, who was only in the Qi-refining realm, was very enthusiastic. After speaking, he immediately went to the back room to inform the foundation-building manager.

Shopkeepers like him are only responsible for accompanying customers and informing them of the price and efficacy of the elixir when they consult.

Although the word "Qi-refining" is in the name of "Qi-refining Powder", it is actually a second-level elixir, which is just right for the foundation-building period.

There is a saying that "Refine essence into Qi, and refine Qi to restore the spirit".

Both the Qi Refining and Foundation Building realms are still in the realm of "refining essence into Qi", so there is nothing wrong with calling it "Qi Refining Powder".

However, it is normal for cultivators who do not know much to mistake it for a first-level elixir.

"The owner of this "Yudan Hall" is really amazing. It has been less than a year since the store opened, and it has become famous in Hongxia Mountain."

"It is rumored that the establishment of this store has affected the business of other elixir shops, but it was easily resolved by its owner."

"Afterwards, I will never dare to cause trouble to Yudan Hall again."

During the short waiting time, the bearded Foundation Building glanced around and looked at the situation of Yudan Hall.

After a glance, he found that among the guests coming and going, there were five or six Foundation Building cultivators and more than a dozen Qi Refining cultivators, and the business was booming.

Without letting this person wait for long, the Foundation Building Manager soon came out from the back room and handed over two bottles of "Qi Refining Powder" after greeting and politeness.

With money handed over and goods delivered, a deal was concluded in a few words.

On the third floor of Yudan Hall, Zhang Yi looked at the prosperous business of the shop and nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Then he walked to the fourth floor of the shop to report some situations to his master.

Liu Yu also thought carefully about opening a shop.

After arriving at Zixia Mountains, he found that the environment here is very suitable for cultivation. As a super-large gathering place for immortal cultivators, the resources for cultivation here are also very rich.

Although it cannot be compared with "Shenjing", it is enough to meet the current needs. Moreover, as a "sanctuary for casual cultivation", the management is much looser than Shenjing, and people can come and go freely.

After careful consideration, Liu Yu plans to stay in Zixia Mountains for a long time to cultivate.

Opening a shop, one can sell pills openly without sneaking around.

There is a reasonable explanation for having more spiritual stones than ordinary cultivators.

Second, it can collect various spiritual herbs openly. After all, it is normal for alchemists to collect spiritual herbs for alchemy.

With the support of the Purple Scarf Army, the Buyi League and other groups, Liu Yu successfully solved the challenge of establishing a store and got his own piece of the pie, which was considered to be a foundation under the Purple Cloud Mountains.

As before, he first made a name for himself by refining a few batches of low-level pills, and then basically handed over the work of refining first- and second-level pills to the recruited low-level alchemists.

Liu Yu's success rate in refining third-level high-quality elixirs has reached more than 30%, and it can be said that he has the qualifications to challenge the "Grandmaster of Alchemy".

With his alchemy attainments close to the Grandmaster, coupled with a price not lower than the market price, and a promise to teach alchemy every two years, he easily recruited several low-level alchemists.

Since then, Liu Yu has withdrawn his hands and only occasionally asked about the situation of Yudan Hall.

The day-to-day management is left to the shopkeepers recruited during the foundation building period.

As for his direct disciple Zhang Yi, he is responsible for supervising the work to avoid the private use of public tools.

After all, when he reached the Golden Core realm, he needed to accumulate more mana. He didn't have that much energy to keep paying attention to mundane things.

The same is true for Zhuo Mengzhen.

Only when there are Jindan customers, will this woman personally come to entertain them.

As the hostess of the "Jade Pill Hall", coupled with her mid-stage Golden Pill cultivation, and her background in the "Buyi Alliance", most Golden Pill monks have to be polite.

Daily management is carried out by the recruited foundation-building monks, while Zhuo Mengzhen and Zhang Yi are responsible for entertaining high-level monks, supervising the daily operations of the Jade Pill Hall, and checking in every once in a while.

In this way, Liu Yu completely freed up his hands, focused most of his energy on cultivation, and became a hands-off shopkeeper responsible for collecting spiritual stones.

Only when I'm in a good mood occasionally, I refine a few batches of third-level elixir.

After all, the spiritual grass for refining third-level elixirs is relatively rare. It would obviously be abnormal if there were too many of them on the market.

During the trip to the Black Mountain Immortal Prison, after killing nine golden elixir guards and disposing of the loot, Liu Yu was not short of spiritual stones, so naturally he was not in a hurry to sell the elixirs.

As long as the spiritual stones satisfy daily cultivation, he does not blindly pursue the increase of spiritual stones.

…

"Dong dong"

Arriving at the fourth floor of Jade Pill Hall, Zhang Yi knocked on the door on the left, then lowered his hands and waited quietly.

"Come in."

Soon, a calm and indifferent voice came from the room.

"Squeak"

"Disciple Zhang Yi, pay homage to Master!"

After gently opening the door and closing it, Zhang Yi walked quickly to the desk, then bowed and saluted.

"Um."

Liu Yu nodded gently, motioned for him to sit aside, and then asked:

"Is there anything unusual in the store lately?"

He only occasionally went to the Jade Pill Hall to deliver a few bottles of third-level elixirs, and usually stayed in the cave to practice.

"Master, everything in the store is currently normal, and nothing unusual has happened."

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and then quickly replied.

"However, Senior Guo sent someone to inform us that he will visit Master again in three days."

After hesitating for a while, he continued to speak.

This is already the second visit this month and the fifth visit this year. Zhang Yi can vaguely guess what Guo Poyun means.

However, regarding the affairs of the Purple Turban Army and the Commoner League, Liu Yu had no intention of letting this son participate.

The cultivation level in the foundation building period is still too low, and it is insignificant in any organization. In addition to daily practice, Zhang Yi just helps to look around the store.

"Um."

Taking a sip of the spirit tea, Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Immediately, he began to guide Zhang Yi in his cultivation and answer some of his questions about his cultivation.

Taking people's money to do things for others, he Liu has always been an innocent person.

Therefore, when it comes to giving guidance on cultivation these years, I have not casually dealt with it. The cultivation problems encountered by this disciple can basically be answered.

After all, if Tianlinggen qualifications are well cultivated, they will be a powerful help in the future.

As the first direct disciple, Liu Yu passed on the "Qingyang Kung" after much thought.

Let Zhang Yi make a choice between teaching the exercises at home and "Qingyang Kung".

There is no doubt that the Zhang family, as a god-transforming family that has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, will not lack techniques that can directly transform into gods. It has a higher limit and is more mature than the "Qingyang Kung".

After all, the highest cultivation level of a monk who has perfected the "Qing Yang Kung" is only Nascent Soul Perfection, and at most he can only complete the Nascent Soul Realm.

Regarding the content of the transformation into gods, they are just conjectures and remain on paper.

However, the Zhang family's ancestral skills can directly lead to the avenue of spiritual transformation.

However, Zhang Yi chose "Qingyang Gong" almost without thinking, which Liu Yu appreciated.

The more mysterious the technique, the more stringent the training conditions, and some very rare and key resources are needed during the training process.

Without the washing and transformation of these key resources,

You may get stuck at a certain step and never be able to complete the promotion.

If it were the Zhang family in the past, it would certainly not be a problem to collect these resources, and it would be natural to choose the family tradition.

But after the "Battle of Lingwu City", the Zhang family's god-forming ancestor disappeared.

The elite members suffered heavy casualties and were faced with the sweep of hostile forces from within Qanting. At present, the building has collapsed and plummeted.

It has long been impossible to collect those rare and key resources for it.

Over the years, through contact with Zhang Ziping, Liu Yu also knew more or less something about the situation.

Their strength plummeted. Facing the hostile forces within Qianting, the remaining monks of the Zhang family were found one after another even though they had gone anonymous.

Then, it disappeared without a sound.

Seven years ago, Liu Yu lost contact with Zhang Ziping, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

As for Zhang Yi's messenger jade token, Zhang Tao only left a few contact information for his safety, and he has lost contact with them one by one over the years.

In this case, this person naturally knows how to choose.

At least when practicing Qingyang Kung, if you encounter some problems in practice, you can always ask the master for advice, which can shorten the relationship between master and disciple.

Moreover, it does not require too rare resources, and the road to the future can be a little smoother.

Qingyang Kung is a fire attribute, which coincides with the attribute of this child's spiritual root, so it can't be said to be barely adequate.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yi witnessed Liu Yu taking action several times.

The strength that was enough to rank in the top ten of the real person list deeply shocked his little heart, so he was more determined when he made the choice.

"Slightly" revealing the prospects of Qingyang Gong was of course Liu Yu's intention.

In this way, he could kill two birds with one stone, not only fulfilling Zhang Tao's promise to take care of Zhang Yi, but also fulfilling the condition of "Kongqing Zhenren" to find a successor for Qingyang Sect.

Of course, just passing down the skills, no matter from any angle, is not really a successor.

If he has time in the future and meets a child with suitable conditions, Liu Yu may also accept another personal disciple.

After all, he spent a lot of effort to deduce "Qingyang Gong".

Although the goal is immortality, even if it is a great power of refining emptiness, it cannot be immortal forever. Liu Yu will naturally not be so arrogant that he can definitely do it.

If there really comes such a day, he naturally does not want the skills he has worked so hard to deduce to be buried in the long river of history.

This is consistent with the last wish of "Master Kong Qing", except that what will be passed down at that time will be a new version of "Qingyang Gong".

"The way to cultivate immortals is by no means a simple closed-door practice. It is difficult to achieve great success by blindly working behind closed doors."

"Even if it is a piece of unpolished jade, it needs to be carefully carved before it can become a "great tool."

After giving instructions on the cultivation problem, Liu Yu said meaningfully.

"Master means..."

With a flash of doubt on his face, Zhang Yi stood up and bowed, then asked carefully.

"In the middle stage of foundation building, with excellent magic tools, I have a certain degree of self-protection power. It's time to go out and experience it."

"There are many places in Zixia Mountains where tasks are issued."

"Although you are not short of cultivation resources, you also need to accept tasks and experience them."

"Take a good look at this world of cultivation."

Sitting upright on the Taishi chair, Liu Yu said slowly.

Where there is demand, there will be a market. There are cultivators in Zixia Mountains who are not short of spiritual stones every day. For various reasons, there are some things that need help or work for others.

Every day, a large number of tasks are issued.

So over time, a group of cultivators who earn spiritual stones by completing tasks to meet their daily cultivation came into being.

"Yes, disciple understands!"

Hearing this, a trace of excitement flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, and he immediately saluted.

In these years, due to safety considerations, he has been restricted from leaving a certain range of the cave.

Although he knows that it is for his own good, the feeling of being restricted for a long time is not very good.

Now that the restrictions are finally lifted and he can move freely, how can this boy not be excited?

"When accepting tasks, you must do it according to your ability. Every time you need the consent of this seat, you can go to execute it."

"Also, you must be on guard against others. You must be cautious during the mission."

Liu Yu nodded lightly, and after a few more instructions, he let the somewhat excited Zhang Yi retreat.

Zhang Tao has already prepared a lot of trump cards for this boy, so he doesn't need to give them extra at this time.

However, for the sake of insurance, in order to prevent his own disciple from dying unexpectedly halfway through.

Liu Yu still planned to let the spirit beast follow secretly and act as a "guardian".

Reaching the middle stage of the third stage, Xiaoqing's intelligence has been greatly opened.

In addition, after staying in the human cultivation world for many years, he also knows the rules of the open and hidden, which is enough to take on the "heavy responsibility" of protecting the way.

As long as he does not encounter too powerful opponents, protecting a small foundation-building cultivator is not a problem.

"Yes, Master."

"Disciple, take your leave!"

Zhang Yi, who was a little excited, bowed respectfully, then stepped back, opened the door and left Yudan Hall.

Liu Yu was the only one left in the room, silently checking the accounts of Yudan Hall.

…

"If nothing unexpected happens, Guo Poyun's visit this time should be to lobby for joining the Purple Scarf Army."

"But the mission of the Black Mountain Immortal Prison is over, and the "Infant Pill", one of the three treasures for forming infants, has been obtained. It seems that joining the Purple Scarf Army at this time is not a wise choice?"

"After all, the cultivation environment in the Zixia Mountains is very stable, and there is no need to worry about the threat from the Qianting Holy Land for the time being."

"And with the previous experience of the "Bu Yi League", it can be easily integrated into the group of casual cultivators, and there is no need to fight and kill again."

"Besides, as an alchemist, what's the point of fighting and killing frequently?"

After checking the accounts of Yudan Hall, thinking about Guo Poyun's repeated visits, Liu Yu's mind flashed one by one.

In the Black Mountain Immortal Prison mission, he can be said to have turned the tide.

If he was missing, relying on Guo Poyun, Liao Yunxi and others alone, they would most likely be wiped out under the numerous traps in the Immortal Prison.

So after understanding the situation, Master Hanmei rejected all objections and offered the "Nursing Pill" as a reward.

Correspondingly, Guo Poyun, Liao Yunxi and others received much less reward.

After that battle, Yuanying Elder Mingjing betrayed and exposed many secrets of Buyi League.

The Buyi League suffered a devastating blow, with more than 80% of the core members killed or injured.

If Master Qingshui had not sacrificed himself, the headquarters would have been kept in the dark and would probably have been uprooted!

Even so, under the continuous thunderbolts of Qianting Holy Land, Buyi League was still seriously injured.

There were only more than 20 core members left, countless peripheral members of Qi Refining and Foundation Building were killed or injured, and only three Yuanying elders were left, completely becoming a second-rate force.

Not long after the remaining cultivators met in Zixia Mountains, they decided to rejoin the Purple Scarf Army.

After getting the "Nursing Pill", Liu Yu had collected two of the three treasures for forming infants.

Some relatively common spiritual objects for forming infants can be collected with thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, third-level spiritual pills, a large number of spiritual stones, etc., which takes some time to collect.

In addition to his previous resume, he can legitimately live in the Zixia Mountains for a long time as a casual cultivator.

In this way, he naturally does not want to join the Purple Scarf Army and confront the Qianting Holy Land head-on, which is not in his interest.

So Liu Yu used excuses such as "focusing on cultivation" and "studying alchemy" to delay reporting to the Purple Scarf Army.

Of course, in order to avoid stimulating some people's pain points and bearing the reputation of "ungratefulness" and "forgetting righteousness when seeing profit", he has not explicitly refused.

For the sake of Qingshui Zhenjun and Hanmei Zhenjun, and because he had a good life in Buyi League before, Liu Yu also gave up some benefits.

All former Buyi League cultivators who come to Yudan Hall to buy elixirs will enjoy a "10% discount", and all Purple Scarf Army cultivators will enjoy a "95% discount".

However, for the sake of his own safety, Liu Yu would never release too many third-level elixirs to avoid arousing suspicion.

In order to avoid becoming a thorn in the eyes of the Qianting Holy Land, all transactions with the Purple Scarf Army monks were also carried out in secret and very low-key.

After the interests were tied together, the Purple Scarf Army monks gained benefits, and Liu Yu was just a figurehead, and he could practice with peace of mind on weekdays.

Usually, he collected spiritual herbs and medicines, as well as secret techniques, etc., and he could also get some help from the Purple Scarf Army.
