Immortal Palace Longevity

"Anhun Grass" is a very rare spiritual herb that can work on the soul. It can stabilize the soul and soul, and repair the soul's injuries. It is one of the few spiritual herbs that can repair the soul's injuries. It has an effect on the soul's injuries below the Jindan stage.

But swallowing it directly can only play a large part of its effect.

If you want to fully play the role of the Anhun Grass, you need to cooperate with other spiritual herbs and medicines, and use them as a basis to refine various pills for consumption. This is the information Liu Yu saw in the spiritual grass experience.

Unfortunately, his personal foundation is too shallow after all, and he is not as good as many families with a long history. There is currently no recipe for the pill with Anhun Grass as the main medicine.

It is obvious that this kind of pill recipe must be extremely rare and difficult to obtain easily, so it can only be considered in the long run.

Anyway, with the seeds, the Anhun Grass can be continuously produced. Even if it can only play a large part of its effect, it is not a pity to waste a little medicinal effect.

Liu Yu had long ago instructed Jiang Qiushui to collect various spiritual herbs and pill recipes, but unfortunately, the harvest in recent years was very small. Most of the spiritual herbs and pill recipes collected were used in the Qi Refining Stage. There were very few second-level spiritual herbs used in the Foundation Establishment Stage, not to mention the second-level pill recipes.

It is worth mentioning that in order not to arouse other people's suspicion, when the Qingyuan Pill and Yangyuan Pill spiritual herbs were collected, he did not continue to let Jiang Qiushui purchase spiritual herb seeds, but turned to collect mature spiritual herbs, but asked to purchase fresh and plantable ones as much as possible.

Liu Yu never showed his alchemy attainments that could refine foundation-building pills in front of others, nor did he reveal to Jiang Qiushui the use of collecting spiritual herb seeds.

So it is normal to stop this behavior in time and purchase mature spiritual herbs as an alchemist, which will not attract the attention of other cultivators.

At that time, Jiang Qiushui had to collect spiritual herb seeds directly. After all, his ordinary qualifications and slow cultivation speed were too slow. If he honestly purchased spiritual herbs, it would at least waste several years of time, which was intolerable.

Collecting spiritual herbs seeds is a very normal thing in itself. Many sects and families are also doing it. Yudantang is not very conspicuous among them.

A short-term acquisition is almost impossible to arouse suspicion and the risk is very small.

With the uncertain future and tense situation at that time, it is natural to seize the time to improve strength. It is worth taking a little risk.

After collecting the spiritual herbs needed for Jingyuan Dan and Qingyuan Dan, and collecting most of the spiritual herbs seeds for Yangyuan Dan, the pills will no longer hinder Liu Yu's cultivation, so there is no rush for the time being.

Being cautious by nature, he immediately asked Jiang Qiushui to stop purchasing spiritual herbs seeds and instead purchase mature spiritual herbs.

Moreover, this task is to be carried out for a long time. As long as it is a new type of spiritual herbs that have not been seen, they will be stored in the warehouse first.

Even if there is no pill formula, the spiritual herbs can be stored for emergency use. There are more and more types of spiritual herbs in the Immortal Mansion. I believe that one day they will be useful.

Reaching out to open the jade box on his leg, looking at the pitch-black Anhun grass, many thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind.

Then he picked up the soul-soothing grass, washed it carefully with the low-grade spiritual spring water bought from the market, and then took a light bite of it.

One bite, two bites, in just a few bites, half of the soul-soothing grass was sent into the mouth and disappeared, and the remaining half was put back into the jade box.

"Gulp"

Liu Yu's mouth moved slightly and chewed gently, chewing all the soul-soothing grass in his mouth, and swallowed it all into his stomach with a slight force with his Adam's apple moving.

After taking the soul-soothing grass, he immediately sat cross-legged on the cushion, posing a posture for cultivation, and then his consciousness looked inward into his body.

The performance of the soul-soothing grass was very strange. After entering the stomach, it melted quickly as if some chemical reaction had occurred, turning into pools of black juice, as dark as ink.

After the whole spiritual grass turned into black juice, after two or three breaths, tiny bubbles gradually emerged from the juice, and wisps of black smoke emerged from the exploded bubbles.

Under the observation of the divine consciousness, the black smoke was like a dream, and seemed to be unbound by any concept of "mass".

It could be observed, but there was no entity, and it seemed to be composed of no entity, which was very different from the performance of spiritual energy.

With the birth of black smoke, the volume of black juice gradually decreased, and the black smoke also slowly dissipated, as if it disappeared out of thin air, but this process was not very fast.

The black smoke was the embodiment of the power of the soul-soothing grass, and it would not exist for a long time.

Liu Yu had already known most of the situation of the soul-soothing grass, and was not surprised at all to see this situation.

However, the power of the medicine could not be wasted. With a thought, he controlled the black smoke to float towards the Niwan Palace.

The black smoke ignored the obstruction of flesh and blood, and did not need to pass through the meridians and acupoints at all. It went straight up through the flesh and blood and entered the Niwan Palace.

A feeling of bathing in a hot spring came from the Yuanshen, warm and peaceful, like a spring breeze blowing on the face.

Liu Yu suddenly felt refreshed, as if all the mental fatigue disappeared at this moment, and his mind became clearer.

He knew that this was the effect of the soul-soothing grass.

Based on the principle of not wasting, Liu Yu separated a small part of his consciousness and controlled the black smoke to continuously enter the Niwan Palace. At the same time, he focused his mind and the "magic method of conserving the spirit" slowly operated on the embryonic form of the soul.

The left side was cold and the right side was hot. The two feelings of one side and one side began to spread on the soul. The previous moment was still cold, but the next moment it became hot. According to the previous situation, it would become more and more intense.

But this time, with the addition of the power of the soul-soothing grass, the situation has changed greatly.

The gentle and peaceful medicinal power stabilized and repaired the soul, greatly reducing the cold and burning sensations. The damage and pain suffered by the soul due to the operation of the technique were much lower than before, only about one-fifth.

Liu Yu looked calm, and his mind was devoted to the practice of the magic method of storing the soul.

This was the first time he had felt so relaxed and smooth since he had practiced the foundation of the magic method of storing the soul.

After being neutralized by the soul-soothing grass, the pain of practice was greatly reduced, and the fatigue and minor damage of the soul were less than expected. It was completely different from the time when there was no auxiliary spiritual object to practice.

Half an hour later, Liu Yu completed the practice of the magic method of storing the soul, slowly opened his eyes, and carefully experienced the feeling of this practice.

The whole process was easier and simpler than imagined. The damage and pain suffered by the soul were very small. It seemed that he could practice again immediately, and the effect of practice seemed to be higher than before.

The consciousness spread in all directions. Compared with the growth after the previous practice, it was indeed improved a little, Liu Yu concluded.

Only a small part of the half-stalk of the Soul-soothing Grass taken half an hour ago was consumed, and most of it was not consumed. The state of the embryonic form of the soul was also very good, and it could be cultivated again.

Seeing this, Liu Yu no longer hesitated, and immediately closed his eyes. The soul once again operated the magic method of storing the soul, and entered the state of cultivation again.

The feeling of gradually becoming powerful and perfect fascinated the cultivator, just like the most deadly drug to mortals.

During the cultivation, he could hardly feel the passage of time. When Liu Yu opened his eyes again, he had completely operated the magic method of storing the soul five times, and the medicinal power of the Soul-soothing Grass had been exhausted.

Feeling the growth of his consciousness, a smile appeared on his face.

The range of consciousness in the early stage of foundation building is generally one to three miles, four to six miles in the middle stage of foundation building, seven to nine miles in the late stage of foundation building, and ten miles in the peak of the late stage of foundation building.

His cultivation is still some distance away from the peak of the early stage of foundation building, but his consciousness has reached the level of a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building with five miles, and the growth rate will be accelerated after obtaining the Soul-soothing Grass, and there is a promising future.

Most cultivators cannot cultivate their spiritual consciousness, and this advantage will become greater and greater until a qualitative change occurs.

However, the soul is ultimately a mysterious and incomprehensible field for Liu Yu now. Although the damage caused by taking the soul-soothing grass to cultivate is minimal on the surface, he cannot observe if there is any damage inside.

So for the sake of safety, he decided to practice the magic method of storing the soul at most three times a day to avoid irreversible hidden dangers.

It is not good if the spiritual consciousness grows too fast. Although the overall increase is relatively small, it still takes time to adapt.

Besides, this is more cost-effective. One soul-soothing grass can maintain the cultivation of the magic method of storing the soul for four days, and minimize consumption while maintaining a sufficient cultivation speed.

After all, the consumption of ripening this spiritual herb is not small. One hundred spiritual stones can only ripen about two plants, and an average of fifty spiritual stones can ripen one plant.

The Soul-soothing Grass is indeed a third-level spiritual grass. Its efficacy and consumption are extraordinary. It only takes 30 spiritual stones to refine a whole portion of Qingyuan Pill, but it takes about 50 spiritual stones to ripen one plant of Soul-soothing Grass.

Calculated, 100 spiritual stones can only sustain eight days of cultivation. In a year, it takes about 4,500 spiritual stones to cultivate the magical method of soul preservation alone. This is not counting the consumption of practicing Qingyang Gong. If the consumption of taking Qingyuan Pills is counted, it will take about 9,000 spiritual stones per year.

"9,000 spiritual stones!"

Liu Yu estimated the cost of maintaining such a luxurious cultivation in his mind and took a breath of cold air.

This is because he has an immortal mansion, which greatly saves the cost of spiritual medicine. If it were other cultivators, they would need to spend at least 70,000 to 80,000 spiritual stones every year to maintain such a luxurious cultivation with these spiritual herbs and pills.

Even for ordinary Jindan cultivators, it is unlikely that the annual cultivation consumption will exceed 70,000 to 80,000 spiritual stones.

At present, the Jade Pill Hall can provide Liu Yu with nearly 4,000 spiritual stones every year, but there is still a gap of about 5,000 spiritual stones every year.

Although there are more than 31,000 spiritual stones in his storage bag now, it can only sustain a few years of cultivation. If he continues like this, he will not find a solution, and then he will have to temporarily suspend the cultivation of the Yuan Shen.

"Let's do this for now."

Liu Yu thought for a long time and thought of a way, but he has not thought it through yet and is still weighing the pros and cons.

As he builds his foundation for a long time, it is rumored that he has learned to refine the foundation-building pills for a long time. Now that he has obtained the Huang family's alchemy inheritance, can he announce to the outside world that he has "successfully" refined the foundation-building pills?

It only takes 15 spiritual stones for the immortal mansion to ripen the spiritual herbs and medicines of a Jingyuan Pill, while the price of a bottle of this pill in the outside world is about 450 spiritual stones.

With Liu Yu's current success rate of 35% in refining Jingyuan Pills, after learning the more advanced alchemy techniques in the Huang family's alchemy inheritance, he is confident that the success rate can reach more than 40%, which can only be higher, not lower.

Four out of ten alchemy materials were successfully refined. According to the calculation of eight essence pills per furnace, the value is about 1,400 spirit stones. To ripen ten materials for refining essence pills, for him who has an immortal palace, he only needs about 150 spirit stones. In total, he can make a net profit of more than 1,200 spirit stones for every ten furnaces of essence pills.

In this way, the little consumption spent on cultivation can be easily solved.

But everything has its pros and cons. The pills must be sold to exchange for spirit stones, which will undoubtedly touch the interests of some cultivators and families and attract a lot of attention.

After all, the foundation-building pills are much more precious than the Qi-refining pills.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Yu decided to put this matter aside. After all, he still had more than 30,000 spiritual stones in his hand, which could support him for a few years to think about it slowly.

After putting away the jade box containing the remaining half of the soul-soothing grass, he touched the storage bag and took out a brown jade slip.

It was from Huang Yonghua, the Huang family's alchemy inheritance.

As for the foundation-building period pill formula, it had already been memorized in his mind, so there was no need to take it out at this time.

Because of environmental and mission issues before, he had no time to check it. Now that he returned to the cave, he could calm down and check, study, and comprehend it.

Liu Yu put the five pieces against his forehead, and a ray of spiritual consciousness probed into it.

"Huang's Alchemy Scripture."

The first thing that was scanned by the spiritual consciousness was these four big words, followed by a lot of ancestral teachings and nonsense about warnings to the younger generation. Liu Yu directly skipped these and looked at the alchemy techniques that he needed and was most interested in.

After watching, Liu Yu was surprised to find that the title and content description were different. Although this alchemy inheritance was called Huang's Alchemy Classic on the surface, there were actually two or three places in the content that called it "Qingzhu Alchemy Classic".

"That's right."

He suddenly realized that the Huang family, as a foundation-building family, had only been passed down for a few hundred years, and there were ups and downs. How could they write a perfect alchemy inheritance by themselves?

It turned out that it was also obtained by trickery and robbery, but just changed the name.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's consciousness moved and modified the beginning, changing it back to "Qingzhu Alchemy Classic", which was considered to set things right.

Then he concentrated all his mind and slowly read the contents of the alchemy inheritance. He sat for several hours without moving, and his expression was extremely focused.

Although the author claimed that the alchemy techniques in the Qingzhu Alchemy Classic were only considered average in the world of immortal cultivation, they were still much more advanced than the most basic alchemy techniques recorded in the alchemy foundation.

Whether it is from purifying the essence of spiritual medicine, or condensing pills and opening furnaces, they all form a system that can be self-consistent, and there are no obvious loopholes in logic.

Its content is well-organized and recorded from the shallow to the deep, which makes Liu Yu fascinated.

"Compared with the basics of alchemy, this Qingzhu Danjing is much better in all aspects, not just the alchemy techniques."

Three hours later, Liu Yu finished reading this Qingzhu Danjing and sighed slightly.

Not to mention the alchemy techniques, the Qingzhu Danjing not only records more pill recipes, but each pill recipe has many previous cultivators' experience, explaining the points to pay attention to in refining the corresponding pills, and some fire control techniques, which are not available in the basics of alchemy.

If he could get this Qingzhu Danjing earlier, he would have taken fewer detours on the road of alchemy.

Putting the jade slip into the storage bag, Liu Yu took out his own alchemy manual.

After reading the Qingzhu Danjing, he had figured out many of his previous problems, and some new ideas emerged, of course, he had to write them down.

Answer previous questions and write down new ideas.
