Immortal Mansion Longevity

   Chapter 539 A Brief Update on the Essentials of Magic Cultivation

   It wasn't until more than ten breaths later that the whistling sound calmed down.

   Alchemy Master!

  Thinking of these four words, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

   Through alchemy, he turned the heaven-defying effect of the Immortal Mansion into an advantage, which has always benefited him endlessly.

   And the way of alchemy is also recognized as the most difficult and most consuming of spirit stones among all the arts of immortality.

   After all, there are no shortcuts to save the spiritual grass during practice.

  The high cost of practice has discouraged most monks from the beginning.

  Alchemy masters are even rarer than Jindan monks, and it is more difficult to achieve this achievement, and their status is higher than ordinary Jindan monks.

   No matter where you are, as long as you show your identity as an alchemy master, you should be able to enjoy good treatment under normal circumstances.

   "It's pretty normal."

   "After studying alchemy for more than a hundred years and consuming countless spiritual herbs and medicines, I have only reached this stage, and I really can't be called a genius."

   took a deep breath, Liu Yu muttered to himself, the turbulent heart lake gradually calmed down.

   "Just in case, you must prepare a spiritual stone for your trip to the Central Region."

   "This time, I will take the risk of refining the third-order medicinal pill and sell it myself."

   Liu Yu flashed this thought, took a short rest, and immediately began to continue alchemy.

   For the pills he sold this time, he finally chose Peiyuan Pill, because pills were the most common in Tier 3 pills, and the risk was lower in comparison.

   And the price is more than ten times the second-order medicinal pill.

   "Zizi"

   In the fire door, the Qingyang Demon Fire lit up again, emitting a blue brilliance.

  Ignition, preheating, refining, condensing, and furnace opening.

   In the busy life of alchemy and selling pills, two months passed quickly.

   "500,000 Spirit Stones."

   "The value of the third-order spirit pills is more than ten times that of ordinary pills. In a short period of time, such a large sum of spirit stones has been raised."

   "In this way, I save myself a lot of time."

   Divine Consciousness glanced at the storage ring, waiting to count all the spiritual stones, Liu Yu smiled.

   Immediately, he swallowed a snow ginseng pill and started his daily practice.

  The first is Qingyang Gong, then there is the magic method, and finally the real body of stars.

   Seven hours have passed since he had practiced all three aspects of Qi, Spirit, and Body.

   "Rumble"

The    stone gate slowly opened, and Liu Yu walked out of the practice room.

   After bathing and changing clothes, he lay on the Taishi chair in the hall, took out a book of exercises and started to read.

   In the world of Immortal Mansion, entering the state of "supremacy and supremacy", the deduction of exercises is also deduced and imagined based on known knowledge, so the key is knowledge.

   Without enough knowledge, even if you get into that state, you won't make much progress.

   is like a woman who cannot cook without rice.

   Therefore, Liu Yu paid more attention to the collection of various knowledge about cultivating immortals after learning that he could deduce the exercises through Xianfu.

   After completing the daily practice and nourishing the magic weapon, most of the rest of the time is to acquire knowledge through reading.

"Books are the ladder of human progress?"

   "No, knowledge is."

   Seeing this sentence in a certain exercise book, Liu Yu shook his head after thinking about it, and continued to read.

   While not necessarily absolutely correct, this is his current view.

   "But in this world, is there really absolute truth?"

   "With the development of the immortal civilization, will the known laws like iron laws be overturned one day?"

   After an unknown amount of time, Liu Yu closed the book and flashed the thought.

   Trapped in thinking about the unknown, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

   "Perhaps, the charm of longevity and even eternity does not lie in longevity and eternity itself."

   "It's the process."

   "More precisely, it is the knowledge acquired in the process and the truth explored!

   "Compared to the boundless starry sky, the love, hatred, and beliefs of immortals are so small."

   "But little by little knowledge, piled up into a tower of truth, is greater than the stars!"

   "And this may be one of the sources of ancient power."

   came back to his senses, and put the practice books into the storage ring, Liu Yu felt a lot of emotion.

  Thinking about the great achievements of some ancient monks, even if he is already a Jindan monk, he often feels some shame for his shallowness and ignorance.

   There was a time when "Xiu Xian" was also called "Cultivation".

  What is "Cultivation"?

   is not just "removing the false and keeping the true", it is too one-sided and narrow, but also "the truth and the true knowledge".

  The way of immortality is neither ideal nor ideal, and it is inseparable from the foundation of material resources.

   There is no such thing as suddenly comprehending a truth and then breaking through the realm one after another.

  The truth that needs to be comprehended is neither good and evil, nor light and darkness, nor is it sophistication.

   is the Dao truth that has always existed between heaven and earth.

  It is not enough to understand knowledge and truth alone, you have to have a certain state foundation.

   For example, one must be in the virtual period or above before one can comprehend the "Silver Seal Script", and only those who are near immortals in the Mahayana period are qualified to comprehend the "Golden Seal Script".

   If the realm is not enough, and the essence of life is not high enough, the consequences of forcibly comprehending will only be a dead end!

   Therefore, it is almost impossible to exist, and the low-level creatures suddenly comprehend certain rules, and then the situation occurs.

   The flesh is mortal and cannot bear the vastness of the rules, just like that sentence - do not look directly at God!

   However, since the ancient war, there has been almost no major progress in the frontier knowledge of immortal cultivation in this world.

  The latecomers are just more refined applications on the basis of the original ones.

   To be precise, it is walking along the path explored by the predecessors.

   With the decline of the spiritual energy of the entire immortal world, all kinds of rare resources are becoming more and more scarce, and every monk has to do everything possible to obtain all kinds of resources, which highlights the importance of resources.

   Over time, the concept of "cultivation" gradually faded away, and was replaced by "cultivation of immortals".

   However, the names of Zhenxiu, Zhenren, Zhenjun, etc. have continued from ancient times to the present.

  Perhaps, this is also one of the signs that the inheritance has never been interrupted today and in ancient times.

   "Ancient."

   Liu Yu sighed with emotion, touched the storage ring with his fingers, and took out a thick black leather book.

  This book is quite old, and there is no writing on the cover.

   It was the "Essentials of Magic Cultivation" that made him gain a lot!

   This book can be said to have truly made him realize the truth of the world of immortality and opened a new door.

   Some of these routines have benefited Liu Yu a lot, and he has taken them out to look at them from time to time.

   However, from today’s perspective, there are still limitations.

   After all, times have changed, and what used to be a new routine has now become an old routine, and many monks are already familiar with it.

   If you copy it completely, you may suffer a big loss.

   After all, the old devil Jindan who wrote this book is only in the realm of Jindan, and so many years have passed.

   "Crash"

   In the hall, the sound of pages turning over could be heard.

  Liu Yu flipped through the "Essentials of Demon Cultivation" again, reading from the beginning to the end, nodding secretly to some of the expositions from time to time, flashing thoughts in his eyes.

   For some outdated routines, he also shook his head slightly from time to time.

   This time, it only took him an hour to read the entire book.

   "After all, times have changed, and it's time to update some of the routines in this book."

   Liu Yu sighed softly and gently smoothed out some folds on the "Essentials of Magic Cultivation".

   Then I took out the pen and ink and thought about it for a while, then added some modifications and remarks to it, and updated it on the original basis.

   There are detailed discussions on how to select targets, **** people, and how to deal with stolen goods, and even wrote many examples.

   Although Liu Yu didn't try them all, but now you are the Jindan elder of Yuanyang Sect, you don't need to try to know that some of the routines are outdated.

  The book is read a hundred times, and its meaning is self-evident.

   In addition to his rich experience, he also has his own opinions on how to update this book.

   No matter what the routine, in summation, it is all exploiting the weakness of human nature.

  For example, "meeting for treasure hunt" is to take advantage of people's "curiosity".

   This trick is most useful for monks who are new to the world of immortality and have less experience.

   Take advantage of the newcomers' lack of deep understanding of the world of immortality and their "curiosity" full of curiosity about many things, and gradually introduce them into traps to achieve their goals.

   When new immortal cultivators hear the cave dwelling of their predecessors, they will first think of precious treasures, powerful exercises, and give full play to their rich imagination.

   In addition, in the world of immortality, there is never a shortage of rumors of monks getting soaring adventures. It is easy to ignore the risks and step into the trap.

   However, after so many years of development in the Immortal Cultivation World, any cultivator with one or two elders will be informed of this routine, and he has already had enough vigilance.

   Except for the newcomers who entered the world of immortality by chance, the chance of success is already very low.

   "People tend to believe what they see."

   "Since it is actively informed, it is likely to arouse the target's vigilance."

   "It's better to "discover together", and then make an appointment to explore the ancient Xiudongfu."

   "In this way, the news of the secret realm is obtained together, and it is unlikely to raise vigilance after seeing it with my own eyes and coincidence."

   "As long as the operation is done properly, even an experienced cultivator is likely to be fooled."

   Thoughts flashed in his heart, Liu Yu was inspired, holding the pen holder and writing down a new routine.

   There is also a "beauty plan", which is to use the flaw of human nature - color.

   Arrange a cooperating female nun, pretend to be in love, and then wait for the opportunity to lead her into the trap.

  Any cultivator has "lust", but some cultivators can deal with it rationally, while some cultivators have difficulty suppressing their desires.

   This trick, as long as you find a suitable partner, will be time-tested for both male and female practitioners.

   However, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the effect is slow, and it is often necessary to give some "sweetness" to let the target let go of his vigilance.

   But now, this kind of routine is widely known in the world of immortality.

   Even a monk with low vigilance is unlikely to follow someone he has just met for a rendezvous in a remote place.

   Unless, the partner's means are too superb, and the target can easily be fascinated.

  But in general, it is still full of uncertainty, the time cost is too much, and the variables are too large.

"this."

   "You can build a circle of mutual help on the surface, let the "partner" play the role of a newcomer who doesn't understand anything, and use the excuse of asking questions to gain the trust of the target step by step."

   "In the process, you will show admiration, admiration and other emotions from time to time to improve your status in the target's mind."

   "And established a circle, you can attack multiple targets at the same time, no longer limited to one person."

   "After gaining trust, everything will be easy."

   Inspiration burst, Liu Yu kept moving in his hands, constantly leaving new handwriting on the pages of old books.

   In addition, you can also take advantage of human "greed", the most urgent desire and so on.

   For example, in a treasure hunt, there is greed that takes advantage of human nature.

   It is not only by killing people and stealing treasures that we can obtain resources.

   can also take advantage of some monks' greed for petty cheapness, forge some low-cost sophisticated instruments, etc., and then sell them at a lower price.

   For example, "Yellow Dragon Pill" and "Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pill" that break through the small realm, and "Foundation Pill" and "Jin Jin Pill" that break through the big realm, etc.

   Combined with some methods, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and often can ingest unimaginable resources.

   After all, not every cultivator understands the way of alchemy, and forging some medicinal pills, in fact, most cultivators can't find it, as long as they hide from several common detection methods.

   Not to mention the cultivators who urgently need these resources, when they really see the urgently needed resources, they may not be able to think rationally as usual.

   At this time, using some means, such as arranging one or more "competitors", can easily achieve the expected effect.

   As for the means of counterfeiting medicinal pills, there are several kinds of methods recorded in "The Essentials of Magic Cultivation".

   However, the advanced methods in those years, with the development of the Immortal Cultivation World over the years, have basically failed.

   There is a high risk of being seen through if you continue to use it.

   "But someone Liu happens to be a master of alchemy!"

   "The method of counterfeiting medicinal pills is too simple for me."

   Liu Yu smiled slightly, and instantly thought of several methods.

   It is possible to deceive the common detection methods in the world of immortal cultivation from all aspects, at least it is not a problem to deceive ordinary monks.

   Then with a big stroke of his pen, he wrote down several techniques on the pages of an old book.

   In view of the various weaknesses of human nature, Liu Yu wrote one by one in the "Essentials of Demon Cultivation" based on his own insights.

   Every routine is highly feasible in today's world of immortal cultivation.

   As long as you fully understand the "Essentials of Magical Cultivation", and can make up your mind, go on this dark road firmly.

   Even a cultivator with ordinary qualifications, poor and poor, still has the possibility of success in foundation building!

   I have to admit that in the current situation where sects and families control most of the resources, ordinary cultivators will have a hard time getting ahead if they don't have the chance.

   At least, for most monks.

   If you follow the steps and follow the rules, you can almost foresee how far you can go in the future.

   Break the invisible shackles and have flexible moral standards to go further on the fairy road!

   Of course, the ultimate success depends on the specific performance of the monk.

   The core of the various routines in "Essentials of Demon Cultivation" is to take advantage of the weaknesses of human nature.

   As long as you can comprehend this point and stick to it firmly, if your luck is not too bad, you can achieve far more than the original achievement!

  Curiosity, lust, greed, anger.

  “Shuh”

   Taking advantage of the weakness of human nature and according to his own opinions, Liu Yu wrote the latest routines one by one in the book.

During the period of   , he stopped to think seriously from time to time, and it was not until half an hour later that the writing was completed.

  “Call~”

  Liu Yu blew a sigh of relief, allowing the ink on the book to air dry.

   "These days, if you want to go further on the road to immortality, you must always have something special."

   "Or one or two hands in the cultivation of immortals, or a clear understanding of the world of immortality."

   he muttered, looking at his masterpiece with more satisfaction.

   After the ink was dry, Liu Yu thought about it, took out a blank book with a black cover, picked up the pen and copied it.

   Another half an hour later, the thick copy of "Essentials of Demon Cultivation" was transcribed, and he put both copies into his storage ring.

   Then, he called the maid Wen Caiyi in and poured himself spiritual tea.

   "Master, when you retreated a few days ago, the eldest lady has returned from the Yuan country."

   "Do you want to see the eldest lady at this time?!"

   He gathered up his sleeves and poured spirit tea, Wen Caiyi whispered softly.

   This woman's face was a little stiff, and she was obviously absent-minded when she spoke, her knuckles clenching slightly and turning white.

   Obviously, she was feeling uneasy at this time.

   Just because two years ago, Jiang Qiushui suddenly heard the news of the successful formation of the pill, and he became the elder of the sect Jindan.

   For a little maid like her, who wants to be in the top position, the pressure can be imagined.

   Liu Yu's eyes were bright, and he saw through the woman's careful thoughts, and smiled slightly:

   "You are the maid of this seat. Without the permission of this seat, no one will do anything to you."

   "Go in peace."

   He still has a lot of experience in how to handle the relationship between women, and there will be no "palace fighting" that he likes to hear.

   For Liu Yu, even if Jiang Qiushui succeeded in forming a pill, the relationship between the two sides would not change.

   What it was before, it will still be what it will be in the future.

after all

   "Yes, son!"

   Hearing the assurance, Wen Caiyi's face was overjoyed. Finally, she was no longer worried. After salute, she quickly left the cave.

   Watching the back of the woman leaving, Liu Yu shook his head.

   immediately took out the alchemy notes and recorded the new characteristics of Qingyang Demon Fire and some experiences in refining the elixir.

  …

   After being promoted to the Jindan realm, Jiang Qiushui did not move to Tongtian Peak, or chose a Lingshan Mountain and remained at Qingyang Peak.

   Therefore, after Wen Caiyi went to notify, within half a quarter of an hour, there were brisk footsteps outside the cave.

   Just hearing the footsteps, you can imagine the joy of its owner.

   "Husband!"

   The silver hairpin in his hair collided with the accessories, making a crisp and pleasant sound, and Jiang Qiushui in a long lavender dress appeared in front of him.

   With obvious joy on her delicate face, she rushed over quickly.

  Liu Yu only had time to open her arms when she felt her legs sink, a familiar fragrance penetrated into her nose, and her fingertips were as soft as ever.

   "To count it down, you haven't seen it for more than 20 years, haven't you?"

   Looking at Jiang Qiushui's hair, the silver hairpin magic weapon he gave her when he built the foundation, this thought flashed in his mind.

   Sitting on his lap, Jiang Qiushui wrapped his hands around Liu Yu's waist tightly, buried his face in his chest, and did not speak for a long time.

   Quiet and gentle.

   She didn't speak until after a dozen breaths:

   "Husband, I succeeded in forming an elixir."

When    said this, the woman finally separated a certain distance.

   Those bright and emotional eyes stared at Liu Yu without blinking, as if waiting for praise and affirmation.

"very good."

   "Akisui did well this time."

   touched the female cultivator's face, feeling cold and delicate, Liu Yu said softly.

  The monks attacked the bottleneck of the golden core. Unless they fell in the level of mana solidification, if they failed in any subsequent level, they would most likely fall directly.

   One can imagine how much risk there is.

  Jiang Qiushui's success in forming elixir proves that it has grown up. No matter the reason, it is worthy of recognition.

   After all, she succeeded in forming an elixir, no matter what the consideration was, it was very beneficial to herself, right?

   This woman is also a disciple from another courtyard, and she can also participate in the elders meeting, doesn't it mean that she has gained more votes from now on?

   When the two got along, Jiang Qiushui rarely concealed his emotions, and immediately smiled when he heard the compliment.

   Suddenly, she seemed to be thinking of an important question, and she became a little nervous, and her hands were slightly harder.

   "Husband, is it time to let Qiushui"

  Jiang Qiushui mustered up his courage, but halfway through his words, he noticed Liu Yu's slowly subdued smile and did not continue to speak.

   "You haven't given up yet, and you want to attack the position of Taoist Companion?!"

   Although the words were not finished, Liu Yu had already understood the meaning of this woman.

   But he just took it into his arms and comforted him, talking about discussing it later and so on.

   Although Jiang Qiushui's breakthrough to the Golden Core realm has greatly increased, he has long made up his mind not to find a Taoist companion, and this principle will not change.

  Just like that, the two snuggled together and talked about what happened over the years.

"ah"

   Then, in Jiang Qiushui's exclamation full of shyness and anticipation, Liu Yu hugged him and strode to the bedroom.

   The "real body of stars" cultivates the realm of the scorching sun, resulting in too much yang energy in the body, and it needs to "reconcile yin and yang" every once in a while.

   Having been in close contact for such a long time, Liu Yu's body has already undergone "strange" changes.

   After talking about the business, of course, we must discuss the "Yin and Yang Avenue".

   (10,000 words omitted here)

  …

  Afterwards, the two sat next to each other at the table in the hall.

"what?"

   "Husband is going to carry out such a dangerous mission?!"

"why?"

   "Given the great situation in front of us that we are all golden pills, why not take it slow? Why do you have to take such a risk?"

   "Husband~!"

   Hearing the "Chang'an Plan", Jiang Qiushui immediately changed his face.

   As if afraid of losing, she clung to the person in front of her with both hands, her jade face filled with worry.

   "Must go."

   Liu Yu said seriously.

  Jiang Qiushui is now the elder of the sect, and sooner or later he will know about this.

   And after he left, the forces that he had run on the basis of the sect also needed this woman to preside over the overall situation, so he did not hide it.

  Two months have passed, and there are only ten months left. The "Changan Plan" is about to start,

   There are still some after-care arrangements to be made, so it cannot be delayed.

   Hearing the words, Jiang Qiushui's expression darkened, only ten fingers were buckled, and he fell into silence.

"rest assured."

   "Don't you know me yet?"

   "Since you are determined to take risks, you must be very sure!"

  Although I really didn't have much confidence, in order to stabilize the military's morale, Liu Yu lied.

"Really?"

   was affirmed, Jiang Qiushui looked better, and finally did not continue to persuade, but the worried look on his face was puzzled.

   That is the Hengduan Mountains, how many amazing people are buried in it? !

   "Ruyan is already in retreat, right?"

   ordered some aftermath matters, Liu Yu asked about Ji Ruyan's situation.

   PS: It's a bit sloppy, and Chapter 13 Jiageng will be postponed for a while, although it's late!

   (end of this chapter)
