"Whizzing"

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

   "This is the "Holy Land of Loose Cultivators"?"

   Cyan paused for a moment, and Liu Yu looked into the distance.

   I saw a stretch of mountains in the distance, with rays of light rising and falling, shuttling between the mountains at a leisurely pace.

   Or in twos and threes, or alone.

  Even the relatively rare "Spirit Ship", there are dozens of ships coming in and out at a glance, so lively.

  Pieces of antique buildings are looming in the major spiritual mountains, and monks of all kinds are active in them, full of human fireworks.

  Here, for the time being, you don’t have to worry about the chasing and killing of Qianting Holy Land, it’s like a paradise.

   Looking around, among the thousands of spiritual mountains, "Zixia Mountain" is the most majestic, reaching an astonishing height of 4,000 feet.

  It is like a Dinghaishenzhen, tenaciously standing in the sky and the earth, giving people sufficient confidence.

   Liu Yu's keen spiritual sense clearly senses countless strong or weak auras, ranging from Qi refining to Nascent Soul cultivation.

   "So many casual practitioners gather here."

   "It is worthy of being the "Holy Land of Loose Cultivators"."

   "Let's go."

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

   After speaking, Duan Guang moved, and continued to fly forward, and it didn't take long before he officially entered the "Zixia Mountains".

"Whizzing"

  By relying on the identity token of the Commoner League, the three of Liu Yu easily entered the Zixia Mountains without any obstacles.

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

  The realm of the Golden Core stage is considered a well-known master among casual cultivators, so the three of them did not encounter the legendary "dog's eyes look down on people" bridge, and everything went relatively smoothly.

  …

   Time turns, and a year passes quickly.

   "Staff, I want two bottles of "Refining Qi Powder" next time!"

  A bearded Foundation Establishment cultivator walked quickly into an antique shop and shouted at the clerk from afar.

  This shop is called "Yu Dan Tang", and it is a newly opened shop, mainly selling pills.

  Because the price is right, but in just one year, it has already gained a good reputation among several nearby spiritual mountains, and basically does not worry about the source of customers.

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

  Only the clerk in the Qi Refining Realm, with a very enthusiastic attitude, immediately went to the back room to inform the steward Jianji after speaking.

  A clerk like him is only responsible for accompanying the customer, and informing the price and efficacy of the elixir when the customer consults.

  Although Lianqi Powder has the word "refining Qi", it is actually a second-order elixir, and it is just right to take it during the foundation building period.

  There is a saying that "refining Qi turns Qi, refining Qi restores spirit".

  The two realms of Qi refining and foundation building are still in the category of "refinement and transformation of Qi", so there is nothing wrong with calling it "Refining Qi Powder".

  However, it is quite normal for monks who don't understand it to mistake it for a first-order elixir.

   "The owner of this "Yu Dan Tang" is really amazing. It has been less than a year since the shop opened, and it is already well-known in Hongxia Mountain."

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

   "Afterwards, I never dare to trouble Yudantang again."

  During the short waiting time, Hu Zhuji glanced around, looking at the situation of Yudantang.

   After a quick scan, he found that among the guests coming and going, there were five or six foundation cultivators alone, and more than a dozen Qi refining monks, and the business was booming.

   Didn't keep this person waiting for a long time, and the steward Jianji soon walked out from the back room, exchanged greetings and handed over two bottles of "Qi Refining Powder".

  Pay the money and deliver the goods. In a few words, a deal is concluded.

  On the third floor of Yudan Hall, Zhang Yi looked at the prosperous business of the store, and couldn't help nodding his head in satisfaction.

   Immediately walked towards the fourth floor of the store, and wanted to report some situations to Master.

  Opening a store, Liu Yu has also thought carefully.

  After coming to the 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 cultivating immortals here are also very rich.

  Although it cannot be compared with "Shenjing", it is enough to meet the current needs, and as a "sacred place for casual practice", the management is much looser than that of Shenjing, and it is free to come and go.

  After careful consideration, Liu Yu planned to stay in the Zixia Mountains for a long time to practice.

   Open a shop, you can sell the pill openly, without sneaking around.

  There are more spirit stones in his hands than ordinary monks, so there is a reasonable explanation.

  The second is that you can collect all kinds of spiritual herbs openly. After all, it is normal for alchemists to collect spiritual herbs for alchemy.

  With the support of the Zijin Army, the Commoner League and other people from all walks of life, Liu Yu successfully solved the challenge of building a store and got his own piece of cake.

  Same as before, he made a few batches of low-level pills by himself at the beginning to gain a reputation, and then the refining of first- and second-tier pills was basically handed over to the recruited low-level alchemists.

  Liu Yu has refined the third-order high-grade elixir, and the success rate has reached more than 30%. It can be said that he has the qualifications to challenge the "Alchemy Master".

  Relying on alchemy attainments close to that of a master, coupled with the price not lower than the market, he promised to give advice on alchemy every two years, and he easily recruited several low-level alchemists.

  Since then, Liu Yu has withdrawn his hand, only occasionally asking about the situation of Yudantang.

  Daily management will be handed over to the shopkeeper recruited during the Foundation Establishment Period.

  As for the personal disciple Zhang Yi, he is in charge of supervising the work to avoid private use of public equipment.

   After all, he has reached the Golden Core realm, and he needs to accumulate more mana. He doesn't have that much energy at all, and has been paying attention to some mundane things.

   Zhuo Mengzhen is also the same.

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

  With the identity of the hostess of the "Jade Dan Hall", coupled with the fact that they have the mid-term Golden Core cultivation base and the background of the "Commoner League", most Golden Core 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-ranking monks and supervising the daily operations of Yudan Hall, asking questions every once in a while.

   Just like that, Liu Yu completely freed up his hands and devoted most of his energy to cultivation, becoming a hands-off shopkeeper in charge of collecting spirit stones again.

  Only occasionally when I am in a good mood, do I refine a few furnaces of third-order panacea.

   After all, the spirit grass for refining the third-order panacea is relatively rare, and if there are too many of them on the market, it is obviously abnormal.

   And during the trip to the Heishan Immortal Prison, after killing nine golden elixir guards and disposing of the spoils, Liu Yu did not lack spirit stones, so naturally he was not in a hurry to sell the elixir.

  Lingshi is enough for daily practice, he does not blindly pursue the increase of Lingshi.

  …

   "咚咚"

  Walking to the fourth floor of Yudan Hall, Zhang Yi knocked on the door on the left, and then waited quietly with his hands down.

"Come in."

   Soon, there was a calm and indifferent voice in the room.

   "Squeak"

   "Disciple Zhang Yi, pay homage to Master!"

   Gently opened and closed the door, Zhang Yi quickly walked to the table, and then bowed to salute.

"Um."

  Liu Yu nodded lightly, motioning for him to sit aside, and then asked:

   "Is there anything unusual in the store recently?"

  He only came to Yudan Hall occasionally to send a few bottles of third-order pills, and usually stayed in the cave to practice.

   "Master, everything in the store is normal at present, and nothing unusual happened."

  Zhang Yi thought for a while, then quickly replied.

   "However, Senior Guo sent someone to inform that he would 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 Zijin Army and the Commoner League, Liu Yu had no intention of involving this son.

  The foundation building period is still too low, and it is insignificant in any organization. Apart from daily practice, Zhang Yi is just helping to look at the store

"Um."

   Picking up the spirit tea and taking a sip, Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully.

   Immediately, he began to instruct Zhang Yi on his cultivation, and answered him some questions about his cultivation.

  Using other people's money to do things for others, he, Liu, has always been innocent.

  So these years, I have not been perfunctory in giving advice on cultivation. Basically, the cultivation problems encountered by this disciple can be answered.

   After all, if the talent of Tianlinggen is cultivated well, it will be a useful help in the future.

  As the first personal disciple, Liu Yu passed on the "Qingyang Gong" after much thought.

  Let Zhang Yi make a choice between family-inherited exercises and "Qingyang Gong".

  There is no doubt that the Zhang family, as a Huashen family that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, will not lack the skills that can directly reach the Huashen, which is higher and more mature than the "Qingyang Gong".

  After all, a monk who has perfected the "Qingyang Kungfu" can only reach the Nascent Soul Consummation at the highest level, and can only complete the Nascent Soul Realm at most.

  The content about Huashen is just some conjectures, which are still on paper.

  The Zhang family's family-inherited exercises can lead directly to the Dao of Transforming Gods.

  However, Zhang Yi chose "Qingyang Gong" almost without thinking about it, which Liu Yu appreciates.

  The more mysterious the technique is, the harsher the cultivation conditions are, and some very rare and key resources are needed in the cultivation process.

   Without the washing and transformation of these key resources, you may be stuck at a certain step and never be able to complete the promotion.

  If it was the former Zhang family, collecting these resources would certainly not be a problem, and choosing family-inherited exercises is also a matter of course.

  But after the "Battle of Lingwu City", the ancestor of the Zhang Family Huashen disappeared.

  The elite members have suffered heavy casualties, and they still have to face the clean-up by hostile forces from within the cadre court. Right now, the building has collapsed and plummeted.

   has long been unable to collect those rare key resources for it.

  During these years, through contact with Zhang Ziping, Liu Yu also knew some things more or less.

  The strength plummeted, facing the hostile forces within the Qianting, the remaining monks of the Zhang family were found one after another even though their names had been hidden.

   Immediately, it disappeared without a sound.

  Seven years ago, Liu Yu lost contact with Zhang Ziping. It is not known whether this person is alive or dead.

   As for Zhang Yi’s communication jade card, Zhang Tao left only a few contact information for his safety, and lost contact one by one over the years.

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

  At least practice Qingyang Kungfu, and if you encounter some problems in cultivation, you can always ask the master for advice, which will bring the relationship between master and student closer.

   Moreover, the road to the future can be a little smoother without requiring too rare resources.

  Qingyang Kungfu is a fire attribute, which coincides with the attribute of this sub-spiritual root, and it is not considered to be reluctant.

  The most important thing is that Zhang Yi has witnessed Liu Yu's shots several times.

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

   "Slightly" revealing the prospect of Qingyang Gong, of course, Liu Yu did it on purpose.

   This kills two birds with one stone. It can not only fulfill Zhang Tao's promise to take care of Zhang Yi, but also fulfill the condition of "Kongqing Daoist" to find a successor for Qingyangmen.

  Of course, just passing down the exercises, no matter from any point of view, it is not really a successor.

   If there is time in the future and meets a child with suitable conditions, Liu Yu may also accept another direct disciple.

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

  Although the goal is immortality, but even if it is refining the superpowers, it still cannot be immortal, so Liu Yu will not be arrogant, and he will definitely be able to do it.

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

   This point is consistent with the last wish of "Kongqing Daoist", but what will be passed down at that time will be the new version of "Qingyang Gong".

   "The way of cultivating immortals is by no means a simple closed-door practice. It is difficult to achieve great achievements by working behind closed doors."

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

  After pointing out the cultivation problem, Liu Yu said deeply.

   "Master means"

   Doubt flashed across his face, Zhang Yi got up and saluted, then asked cautiously.

   "In the middle stage of foundation establishment, coupled with excellent magic tools, it can be regarded as having a certain amount of self-protection power. It's time to go out and experience some experience."

   "Among the Zixia Mountains, there are many places where missions are issued."

   "Although you don't lack training resources, you still need to accept tasks to practice and practice."

   "Take a good look, this world of cultivating immortals."

  Sitting on the grand master's chair, Liu Yu said slowly.

  Where there is demand, there will be a market. There are monks who have no shortage of spiritual stones in the Zixia Mountains every day. For some reason, there are some things that need help from others.

  Every day, there will be a large number of tasks issued.

  So over time, a group of monks who earn spirit stones by completing tasks to meet their daily practice came into being.

   "Yes, disciple understands!"

  Hearing the words, Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately saluted.

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

  Although I know it is for my own good, the feeling of being restricted for a long time is not very good.

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

   "Accepting tasks, you must do what you can. Every time you need the consent of this seat, you can go to execute it."

   "Also, the heart of defense is indispensable, and you must be cautious during the task."

  Liu Yu nodded lightly, and after a few more instructions, Zhang Yi, who was a little excited, stepped back.

   Zhang Tao has already prepared a lot of hole cards and so on, so he doesn't need to give him extra gifts at this time.

   But just to be on the safe side, in order to prevent myself, a direct disciple, from dying unexpectedly halfway through.

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

   Reaching the middle stage of the third order, Xiaoqing has already opened up her spiritual wisdom.

  In addition to staying in the world of human immortal cultivation all year round, he also knows the rules of the open and the dark, which is enough to undertake the "heavy task" of protecting the Tao.

   As long as you don't encounter too strong opponents, protecting a little foundation-building cultivator is not a problem.

   "Yes, Master."

   "Disciple resigns!"

   Zhang Yi, who was a little excited, stepped back and opened the door to leave Yudan Hall after saluting respectfully.

  In the room, only Liu Yu was left alone, silently checking the accounts of Yudantang.

  …

   "Guo Poyun's visit this time, if nothing unexpected happens, he should still lobby for himself to join the Purple Scarf Army."

   "It's just that the mission of the Heishan Immortal Prison is over, and the "Peiying Pill", one of the three baby-bearing treasures, has already been obtained. At this time, it seems that it is not a wise choice to join the Purple Scarf Army?"

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

   "And with the experience of the previous "Buyimeng", you can easily integrate into the casual cultivator group, and you don't need to fight any more."

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

  After checking the accounts of Yudantang, and thinking about Guo Poyun's repeated visits, Liu Yu's thoughts flashed one by one.

  In the mission of Heishan Immortal Prison, he can be said to have turned the tide.

  If you lack yourself, relying on Guo Poyun, Liao Yunxi and others, under the numerous traps in the Immortal Prison, there is a high probability that the entire army will be wiped out.

  So after understanding the situation, True Monarch Hanmei resisted all opinions and offered "Peiying Pill" as a reward.

   Correspondingly, the rewards for Guo Poyun, Liao Yunxi and others were much reduced.

  After that battle, Yuanying Elder Ming Jing rebelled, exposing many secrets of the Commoner League.

  The Commoner League suffered a devastating blow, and more than 80% of the core members were killed or injured.

  If Master Qingshui didn't sacrifice himself, the headquarters has been kept in the dark, and I'm afraid it will be uprooted!

  Even so, under the successive thunder strikes from Qianting Holy Land, the Commoner League was still seriously injured.

  There are only about 20 core members left, countless casualties among the peripheral members of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, and only three Yuanying Elders left, completely reduced to a low-level force.

  Not long after the remnant monks met in the Zixia Mountains, they decided to rejoin the Zijin Army.

  After the "Peiying Pill" was obtained, Liu Yu, the three baby-forming treasures, had already collected two kinds.

   Some relatively common baby-forming spirits can already be collected with millennium spirit grass, third-level spirit pills, a large number of spirit stones, etc., and it will take some time to collect them.

  Combined with previous experience, he has been able to live in the Zixia Mountains for a long time as a casual cultivator.

   As a result, he naturally didn't want to join the Purple Turban Army and confront Qianting Holy Land head-on, which was not in his interest.

  Therefore, Liu Yu delayed reporting to the Purple Scarf Army under the pretext of "concentrating on cultivation" and "studying alchemy".

  Of course, in order to avoid stimulating the pain points of some people and bearing the reputation of "ungrateful" and "unscrupulous", he has not explicitly refused.

  Looking at the face of Zhenjun Qingshui and Zhenjun Hanmei, and the fact that he had a good life in the Commoner League before, Liu Yu also gave up some benefits.

  All monks of the original Commoner League who come to Yudantang to buy pills will enjoy a "10% discount" discount, and all monks from the Purple Scarf Army will enjoy a "15% discount" discount.

  However, for the sake of his own safety, Liu Yu, the third-order panacea, will never release too much, so as not to arouse suspicion.

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

  After the benefits are bound, the cultivators of the Purple Scarf Army will get benefits, and Liu Yu is just a name, so he can practice with peace of mind on weekdays.

  Usually collect spiritual grasses and elixir, as well as skills and secret arts, etc., and you can also get some help from the Purple Scarf Army.
