Immortal Palace Longevity

Only by constantly summarizing past experiences, learning new knowledge, and combining with a lot of practical exercises can we make great progress in alchemy.

Liu Yu was writing in the alchemy manual, stopping from time to time to think, and in a blink of an eye, three or four hours passed before he finally put the alchemy manual into the storage bag.

He smiled and felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Due to the advantages of the Immortal Palace and the role of his own talents, his progress in the way of alchemy was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators, which was simply shocking.

In just about twenty years, he was able to refine the Qingyuan Pill, and the difficulty of refining was no less than that of ordinary mid-stage foundation-building pills.

So he could only study alone and did not dare to ask other cultivators for advice easily, so as to avoid other cultivators noticing his progress.

Even if there was something he did not understand, he could only look through the Sutra Library to seek answers.

But the Sutra Library was a dead object after all, and the knowledge recorded was not so comprehensive, and there were still many doubts that could not be answered.

The Qingzhu Danjing came at the right time. This is a complete set of alchemy inheritance. Although it is not particularly top-notch, it is like a long drought and a sweet rain for Liu Yu, making him eagerly absorb the knowledge and theory in it.

This is exactly the knowledge he lacks and needs, which greatly fills his foundation in the way of alchemy and makes him take a solid step towards the master of alchemy.

After laughing for a while, Liu Yu restrained his smile and carefully felt the condition of his body.

The black liquid transformed from the soul-soothing grass in his stomach has been consumed, and the special spiritual energy transformed from the hemolytic pill in his flesh and blood has also been consumed.

Liu Yu himself has eight drops of blood essence. He used the "blood sacrifice" secret technique to sacrifice the sharp gold sword before, consuming two drops of blood essence, leaving only six drops.

At this time, five months have passed since the sacrifice. With the help of the hemolytic pill, the blood essence has recovered to seven drops, and the remaining drop has also recovered more than half, and it will be fully recovered in less than a month.

This is all thanks to the dragon blood fruit. This fruit can not only be used as the main ingredient of the hemolytic pill, but also slightly increase the strength of the body when eaten raw.

Previously, due to the consumption of blood essence, the body has been in a weak state, so it is not suitable to take this fruit.

But now it has recovered more than half, and as long as it is fully recovered, it can take this fruit to strengthen the body and blood.

Although the cultivators are mainly based on Qi refining, they can even abandon the physical body and travel the world with the Yuanshen when they reach a certain level.

But it is obviously not possible at a low level. The Yuanshen is still in its embryonic form and has not been completely formed. It is like a baby in the womb and cannot exist alone without the physical body.

It cannot withstand the burning of the sun and the blowing of the cold wind. If it is exposed to the outside for more than a certain period of time, it will directly disappear.

Therefore, before practicing to a certain level, the physical body and the Yuanshen are tied together. If one dies, the other will often die with it.

Since the physical body is so important, Liu Yu must strengthen it as much as possible to improve his own safety when there are sufficient resources.

In his previous life, he had read several Taoist books, and he quite agreed with some of the theories about dual cultivation of sex and life.

Many theories believe that the existence of the soul alone is too fragile, and it can only be placed on the physical body. The best way is to make progress with both, which is also more conducive to the pursuit of immortality.

Moreover, there is also the saying of "physical cultivation" in this world. When it is cultivated to a high level, it is said that it can resist magic weapons with bare hands, and it was once powerful.

There is also the way of "dual cultivation of magic and body", which cultivates magic power and physical body at the same time, combines the strengths of both ways, and is far more powerful than the cultivators of the same level.

It's just that after the ancient war a million years ago, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire cultivation world began to decline, and the resources of cultivation gradually became scarce, and the physical cultivation with more resource requirements was gradually eliminated.

Until now, the cultivators of "physical cultivation" and "dual cultivation of magic and body" have almost disappeared, and the mainstream of the cultivation world is dominated by "magic cultivation" who use magic weapons and cast spells.

Many thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling a little regretful.

He had the Immortal Palace in hand and sufficient resources for cultivation. It was originally very suitable for him to develop in the direction of "dual cultivation of law and body" with strong combat power. He had thought about this long ago.

Unfortunately, this kind of practice of dual cultivation of law and body is very rare. He has only seen relevant descriptions in classics. He has never heard of or seen anyone practicing dual cultivation of law and body in Chu.

The top-level practice in the usual sense refers to the practice of law cultivation, not the practice of dual cultivation of law and body. The practice of dual cultivation of law and body is even rarer and seems to have disappeared in Chu.

Theoretically, only dual cultivation of law and body is Liu Yu's best choice, so that the advantages of the Immortal Palace can be brought into play to the extreme.

But how can things in the world go as one wishes? He has no channels to search at all, and it is impossible not to improve his strength and put his energy on the search that may not have results. In the end, he can only give up this idea.

Shaking his head, Liu Yu took out the three books recording Qingyang Gong, the magic method of storing spirits, and the hidden spirit technique, and began to comprehend.

At present, more than 90% of the contents of the fifth level of Qingyang Gong, the middle stage of foundation building, have been comprehended. It is estimated that the last point will be fully comprehended in one or two years.

After all, Liu Yu's knowledge today is not the same as when he just built his foundation.

The comprehension of Qingyang Gong went smoothly, but the comprehension of the Golden Pill Chapter of the Magic Method of Concentrating the Spirit was not smooth. The progress was very little, almost almost zero.

Liu Yu felt that it was obscure and difficult to understand when he comprehended it. Some paragraphs were completely incomprehensible. He could not find the classics to answer and could not ask other cultivators for help.

However, ordinary foundation-building cultivators may not have as much knowledge of the Yuanshen as him, so it would be useless to ask.

So I can only explore this aspect slowly by myself. Fortunately, there is still a long way to go before the Jindan stage, and there is no rush to comprehend the Jindan chapter of the magical method of storing the spirit.

Liu Yu believes that as long as he continues to accumulate knowledge about the Yuanshen, there will always be a time to fully comprehend it.

Finally, there is the Hidden Spirit Technique. He has obtained this secret technique the longest time and has been comprehending it for the longest time.

The third level of the secret technique can well restrain the cultivation and spiritual pressure. It is said that even a higher realm cannot see through it. So with Liu Yu's foundation-building cultivation, it is reasonable that a Jindan cultivator cannot see through it.

Of course, it is not necessarily the case for cultivators with special spiritual eyes, and since there is such a secret technique, there must be a secret technique for this kind of secret technique.

Liu Yu has reservations about the wild statement that the third level of perfection can hide from a cultivator of a higher realm, but it is undeniable that ordinary Jindan cultivators cannot find abnormalities.

The Hidden Spirit Technique can also adjust the cultivation revealed to the outside, but it can only be adjusted downward and cannot exceed one's true cultivation.

He has now cultivated to the third level and has comprehended 99% of the content. He believes that in another ten or twenty years, he will be able to cultivate to perfection and thoroughly master this secret technique that is extremely convenient for traveling in the world of immortal cultivation.

…

Take a Qingyuan Pill every day and spend three hours practicing Qingyang Gong.

Then take the Soul-Calming Grass and practice the Magical Method of Concentrating the Spirit three times, which takes one and a half hours.

Comprehend Qingyang Gong, Magical Method of Concentrating the Spirit, and Hidden Spirit Technique for one hour each, comprehend Qingzhu Danjing for one hour, and read the experience of spiritual herbs for half an hour.

Twelve hours a day, nine hours have passed.

In the remaining three hours, Liu Yu occasionally refines one or two furnaces of elixirs, warms up several magic tools and spiritual tools that can be used, and practices and familiarizes himself with the magic of the foundation-building period.

At the same time, he did not forget to take care of the spiritual herbs and medicines in the immortal mansion. Dozens of spiritual herbs needed to refine Qingyuan Pills have been ripened and placed in the immortal mansion for preparation.

Thirty dragon blood fruits, which are produced by dragon blood trees and are used to strengthen the body, were prepared and temporarily placed in the Immortal Mansion.

Practicing, reading, farming and refining elixirs, every day I know a little more knowledge than the day before, and every day I am stronger than the day before.

Such days of closed-door hard practice are happy and fulfilling. The mana and consciousness go hand in hand, and the pleasure brought is three times more pleasant than applauding for love, which makes the cultivators unable to help but indulge in it and don't want to come out.

In this way, a month passed slowly.

Wangyue City, South Courtyard, Practice Room.

Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes closed and his brows slightly wrinkled, with a few beads of sweat on his temples.

At a certain moment, his eyes that had been closed for a long time suddenly opened, and a bright light flashed in his dark pupils.

This is the third time to practice the magic method of retaining the spirit today. The completion of this practice means the end of today's practice.

After getting the Soul-soothing Grass, not only did the number of times he could practice the Magical Method of Concentrating the Spirit increased from one to three times a day, but the effect of practice also improved slightly.

At this time, the range of his spiritual consciousness had improved significantly compared to before, and it had increased by two or three feet in a month.

In this way, in another five or six years, his spiritual consciousness would be able to reach the limit of six miles in the middle stage of foundation building.

Liu Yu smiled slightly, restrained the desire to continue practicing, stood up and walked out the door.

He walked to the wooden bench next to the stone table in the hall and sat down, took out a black porcelain bottle from the storage bag, unplugged the bottle and revealed the turbid liquid inside.

Liu Yu frowned. Although the disguise liquid prepared according to the magic cultivation essentials was very effective, no matter how many times it was used, it still felt a little disgusting.

He resisted the nausea and evenly applied the spiritual liquid on his face under the observation of his spiritual consciousness.

After a while, Liu Yu's original appearance was changed, and he was disguised as a cultivator with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

This appearance is even more ordinary than before, just like an old man pushing a cart in the secular world, not conspicuous at all in the crowd.

Even Jiang Qiushui, who is most familiar with him, can't recognize him from his appearance, let alone other cultivators.

After the easy, he retracted the hidden spirit technique that he maintained at all times, and the cultivation aura and spiritual pressure around him suddenly increased a lot, reaching the peak of the initial stage of foundation building.

The appearance and cultivation are different from the original, so it is difficult for others to associate the original identity.

Liu Yu's spiritual sense scanned his whole body up and down, and after confirming that there were no flaws, he changed into a green shirt and left the attic.

When he walked to the edge of the formation of the cave, he used his spiritual sense to scan the situation around the cave, and when no cultivators passed by, he quickly withdrew from this courtyard.

Liu Yu's face was not strange, and his heart was calm. He walked towards the East Market without knowing it.

Since the annual consumption is so high now, there is no need to keep the low-level cultivation resources worth 5,000 spirit stones obtained from the Huang family. It is better to exchange them for spirit stones as soon as possible.

With the cultivation level of the early stage of foundation building, it is obviously inappropriate to take out such a large amount of 5,000 spirit stones at one time. Even ordinary late stage cultivators of foundation building can hardly do such a thing.

If you take it out rashly, you may be regarded as a demon cultivator who kills people for treasures, thus attracting attention.

Although the five major sects of Chu State are neutral and will not be prejudiced because of demon cultivators, arbitrarily killing weak cultivators for treasures is undoubtedly a disruption of order, which is not allowed by the five major sects.

So all the demon cultivators who disrupt the order will be hunted down by the five major sects. Once discovered, they will be severely punished. If Liu Yu is mistaken for that kind of demon cultivator, he will inevitably have a lot of trouble.

With his usual cautious character, he naturally had a way to deal with it. Before leaving, he divided the resources into three parts, each worth only more than a thousand spirit stones, which made things much more normal.

Now his character is a senior foundation-building cultivator, with a few more low-grade storage bags hanging around his waist. I believe that no fool would mess with a foundation-building cultivator for this.

His steps were neither fast nor slow. After half a quarter of an hour, Liu Yu was already standing at the entrance of the most prosperous East Market in Wangyue City.

Two more steps will lead to the most prosperous street in the East Market. Standing at the entrance, you can already see the grand scene of that street clearly.

"Duobao Pavilion", "Qianfu Pavilion", "Danxiang Building", "Tiangong Store"

On the most prosperous street, the first and second shops on the left are Duobao Pavilion and Qianfu Pavilion respectively, and the first and second shops on the right are Danxiang Building and Tiangong Store.

There are cultivators coming and going in the four shops, and their cultivation and demeanor are slightly stronger than those in other shops.

Being able to stand in the best location also indirectly shows the strength of these four shops.

However, Liu Yu came here mainly to deal with low-level immortal cultivation resources, and then see if there is anything he needs, such as foundation-building pill recipes and body-refining exercises.

Naturally, there is no need to go to these big shops, so he just took a calm look and retracted his gaze, heading towards another street.

Wangyue City is the largest gathering place for immortal cultivators in the nearby thousand miles. There are too many immortal cultivators whose cultivation level exceeds that of Jiatai Market, which Liu Yu is familiar with. The cultivation level of the cultivators coming and going in the East Market is generally above the middle stage of Qi Refining, and there are very few in the early stage of Qi Refining.

However, the cultivation of the foundation-building stage is still considered "senior masters" here, and from time to time, there are still Qi-refining stage juniors coming to greet them in a low voice.

Liu Yu walked without expression, and did not look at these juniors who saluted.

The number of foundation-building cultivators in Wangyue City is much larger than that of Jiatai, and occasionally there will be other foundation-building cultivators coming to meet.

But most of the two sides are at a certain distance, and they look at each other coldly, with a little vigilance, and then staggered past each other.

Liu Yu has been here twice, and he is still relatively clear about the general layout and distribution of shops in the East Market. At this time, according to his memory, he walked into a shop that is not too big or too small.

After about a cup of tea, he came out again under the warm hospitality of the shop owner, and there were already more than a thousand or so spirit stones in his storage bag.

Following the same method, Liu Yu left this street and found a shop of similar size seven or eight streets away, and sold the second batch of low-level cultivation resources, successfully earning more than a thousand spirit stones.

Only the third low-level cultivation resource was left, so Liu Yu did not continue to sell it on this street and left directly.

He cautiously crossed another seven or eight streets and entered a store called "Jiapinju".

But he did not expect that he would encounter a different situation this time.
