Immortal Palace Longevity

Chapter 209: West City Inn (two chapters in one)

Although there are physical training methods in various major shops, they all have flaws of one kind or another.

Either it's seriously handicapped, or it's too low-level.

Moreover, most of them are only for the Qi-refining stage. The deficiencies of the foundation-building techniques are very serious, which makes them extremely dangerous to practice, and it is basically impossible to succeed in practice.

Although Liu Yu has never practiced physical cultivation techniques, he is already in the foundation-building stage and is not a rookie with no knowledge of immortal cultivation, so he can naturally tell this.

How can physical cultivation techniques that can only be practiced to the Qi refining stage help him?

Even if you practice the entire technique to perfection, you still won't be able to withstand the attack of a high-grade magic weapon, let alone a top-grade magic weapon. It's completely useless.

Moreover, it was impossible for Liu Yu to practice those who were too disabled and use his own body to test the correctness of the techniques.

If you can't take the broad road, why take the rugged path?

Although he wants to develop his mental power and physical body at the same time, and wants to find a physical training method to temper his physical body, he doesn't want all kinds of things.

At least one must be able to practice before the golden elixir stage, and it must be relatively complete, with accompanying attack methods, in order to be worthy of attention.

This is the most basic requirement, otherwise it will be of little help to you and will be a waste of energy.

After walking around various stores in Dongshi, even well-known large stores went in and inquired, but they still had no intention of finding a suitable technique. Liu Yu was extremely disappointed.

Leaving Dongshi along the exit, he looked back, and finally returned to the cave in the south of the city.

If there is no harvest from the next exchange meeting, then I have no choice but to go back to the sect.

With the size of the Yuanyang Sect dominating a continent, there must be well-preserved physical cultivation techniques, and as a disciple of the sect, if you want to get it, the price you have to pay should be a little lower than directly from outside.

But Liu Yu had his own selfish motives and did not want the sect to know too much about him. His status as an alchemist alone was enough to dazzle him.

After all, he was just an ordinary outer sect disciple before, and he became an alchemist. He relied on alchemy to accumulate resources and smoothly promoted his cultivation to the foundation building stage, which was barely acceptable.

Now I can redeem a physical cultivation method, and soon I will have a certain attainment in physical cultivation. What does this mean?

genius? evildoer?

The sect is still very clear about its origins. The qualifications of the Three Spiritual Roots are clearly recorded in the sect's archives. Such an abnormal situation can easily trigger certain associations.

Liu Yu has always adhered to a low-key development strategy in the sect to avoid attracting attention. Unless necessary social interactions or exchanges with colleagues, he usually lives a solitary cultivation life.

Even when Yudantang opened, there was no special event, it just opened quietly one day.

Less than half an hour later, Liu Yu returned to the cave in the south of the city, took off his disguise and returned to his original appearance.

This specially prepared disguise liquid has a time limit and can only last for eight hours. Once the time is up, it will lose its effect. Therefore, the disguise can only be removed and the disguise can be resumed after seven days.

He went straight to the alchemy room and prepared to refine a few bottles of Jingyuan Dan to be used for trading in seven days.

Qing Yuan Dan is an ancient prescription, and the age requirement for the elixir is relatively high. It is not suitable to take out too many bottles. To be cautious, he can only take out two bottles, and trade the rest with Jing Yuan Dan.

In this way, if you encounter something you are interested in at a trade fair, it will be easier to trade it.

It is worth mentioning that although spiritual stones are universal in all realms, they also have limitations.

Some of the more rare items are usually bartered in exchange for the treasures they urgently need, and are rarely used directly in exchange for spiritual stones.

When the value is not high, spiritual objects are much more competitive than spiritual stones.

Although Liu Yu has a "huge sum" of tens of thousands of spirit stones, it is impossible to forcefully buy an item by smashing the spirit stones. That does not comply with his low-key standards and is too eye-catching.

"Boom"

The Xuanhuang Cauldron, the best magic weapon used for alchemy, was taken out from the storage bag and landed heavily in the center of the room, making a dull sound.

Liu Yu took out jade boxes one by one from the storage bag, placed them on the ground beside him, and opened them one by one, revealing the different forms of spiritual herbs and elixirs inside.

He had already ripened dozens of the spiritual herbs and elixirs needed to refine the Jing Yuan Dan and kept them in storage bags. He had not used them since the Qing Yuan Dan was refined. At this time, he only needed to take out Just come out and use it.

Ignite, preheat, remove impurities and extract essence, fuse, condense elixir...

The orange fire of the Foundation Establishment True Fire shone on Liu Yu's solemn and serious face.

He slowly held a set of spells that were very different from those in the past, and his movements were a bit stiff and jerky.

The spiritual consciousness carefully observed the situation in the furnace, and the whole mind was devoted to refining the elixir, and experienced the changes in the potency of the medicine.

The Jingyuan Pill has been refined many times, and the entire process is already very familiar, but the method of refining the pill used today is completely different from the past.

Liu Yu abandoned the basic alchemy techniques that he was very familiar with and officially used the alchemy techniques in the Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra that he had just received to refine this batch of Jingyuan Dan.

This set of alchemy techniques is more sophisticated and complex, far from being comparable to the basic techniques.

At the same time, it was also the first time since Liu Yu obtained the Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra that he had used it in actual alchemy.

A total of thirty alchemy materials were prepared, and five furnaces of elixirs were refined every day. All the materials were consumed after six days.

Liu Yu obtained a total of seventy-five Jingyuan Pills, which was only a 30% success rate.

This is mainly because I am not very familiar with the alchemy techniques in the Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra and cannot use them freely.

Using the new alchemy technique, the success rate of the first dozen furnaces of pills was even less than 20%, and it was not until later that it gradually improved and reached a success rate of nearly 40%.

Although the alchemy technique was still a bit awkward, Liu Yu had already refined one or two thousand furnaces of pills, and several hundred furnaces of Essence Pills, and he was already very familiar with it.

Later, after gradually becoming familiar with the alchemy technique, the success rate of alchemy suddenly increased, reaching nearly 40% at one point.

All in all, the success rate of refining Essence Pills this time was an average of 30%, but in fact it was close to 40%.

The brilliance of the Qingzhu Danjing has been initially revealed to Liu Yu, and it is worth the effort he spent on it.

After the last furnace of Essence Pills was refined, the Xuanhuang Ding was cleaned and put into the storage bag.

The refined Essence Pills were put into eight jade bottles. The last jade bottle only had five pills, and they were finally put into the storage bag.

The impurities and waste pills were also put into a storage bag and stored in the Immortal Mansion. This kind of remnant of alchemy is harmful to the cultivators, and the spiritual energy contained in it has also dissipated a lot, but it still contains some spiritual energy, which may be useful in the future.

Based on the principle of not wasting, Liu Yu put it into the Immortal Mansion. Anyway, he has a lot of storage bags in his hands now, and it doesn't take up much space.

After refining the pills, six days have passed, and there is only one day left before the exchange meeting.

Liu Yu was not impatient. He still practiced at his own pace that day and did not change anything for this.

Practicing, comprehending the skills, and taking care of spiritual herbs, another day passed quickly.

Liu Yu reapplied the disguise liquid on himself, and after scanning up and down with his spiritual consciousness to confirm that there was no problem, he left the cave, and the time was neither early nor late.

He did not go directly to the East Market from this direction, but took a big detour and rushed to the East Market from the north of Wangyue City.

In this way, it would be more difficult for other cultivators to find out his origins.

Ignoring the bustle of Wangyue City, Liu Yu walked without stopping. In less than half an hour, he arrived at the entrance of the East Market, which was the meeting place agreed by the two.

At the entrance of the East Market, where people were coming and going, he sensed a spiritual pressure of the foundation-building level from a distance. After a closer look, it was Qiu Zongxing, so he walked over.

The spiritual senses of the foundation-building cultivators are already extremely sharp. Because he did not deliberately restrain himself, Qiu Zongxing also sensed it when Liu Yu observed him.

After discovering that it was Liu Yu, he immediately stretched out his hand to signal, and then walked to the west. His pace was not fast, obviously waiting for Liu Yu to catch up.

Liu Yu quickly followed him and walked side by side with him, but kept a certain distance.

The two were just trading relationships, not very familiar with each other. Although they were in Wangyue City, the precautions that cultivators should have should still be taken.

"Let fellow Daoist Qiu wait."

Liu Yu said politely while walking.

Now he needs help from others, and before entering the exchange meeting, it is better to be polite to this person.

However, Liu Yu was not worried that this person would break his promise. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. Jiapinju is there, so he is not afraid of him defaulting on his debt.

If this person dares to deceive him, he does not mind suppressing this store and the family behind it through the sect.

"It's okay, I just arrived too."

Qiu Zongxing also said quite politely, not daring to be arrogant.

After all, Liu Yu casually took out 1,600 spiritual stones of cultivation resources, which is extremely rare in the early stage of foundation building. In Qiu Zongxing's view, he is definitely not an ordinary person, so it is better not to offend him if possible.

The two did not talk much afterwards, but hurried to a certain location in the west of the city, with a very clear purpose.

The west of the city is mainly a place where low-level casual cultivators gather. Their cultivation is generally lower than that of the cultivators in the south, north, and east. Most of the cultivators living here are not living a satisfactory life.

Because the accommodation fee of the inn is not cheap, many casual cultivators are reluctant to spend spiritual stones to stay in the inn, so they find a place to set up a tent casually, which is regarded as a place to live.

With the first casual cultivator doing this, many downtrodden casual cultivators immediately followed suit.

For a while, the west of the city was in chaos, with tents everywhere, which looked chaotic and had no "immortal" atmosphere.

Seeing this, Yuanyang Sect, which manages Wangyue City, intervened to restrict this situation for the sake of the image of the entire Wangyue City, and divided specific areas. Tents can only be built in specific areas, and violators will be severely punished.

Liu Yu and Qiu Zongxing saw this scene as they walked along.

Every few distances, you can see tents standing in rows, and cultivators with lower cultivation are gathering in front of the tents in groups of three or five to talk about something.

When they saw two "seniors" in the foundation-building period passing by, the voices of the downtrodden cultivators disappeared at once, and their eyes looking at the two were full of awe and yearning.

For such a situation, the two did not waver at all, and continued to walk towards the target location without stopping.

Some people are successful, and naturally some people are lost. Some cultivators are making great strides on the road to immortality, and naturally some cultivators stop moving forward.

But the cultivators of the sects and families are still much better than the independent cultivators, at least they have the sects and families to rely on.

These cultivators are not all independent cultivators, there are also some people from the impoverished immortal cultivation families, but without exception, they have no backers.

They came to Wangyue City alone to make a living, without any skills, and their spiritual roots are also poor, belonging to the bottom of the immortal cultivation world.

Perhaps for these cultivators, returning to the secular world would be a better choice, at least they can get the treatment of "immortal master", and they don't have to worry about losing their lives one day.

Liu Yu glanced briefly and then withdrew his gaze, without any fluctuation or emotion in his heart.

“Wu’s Inn”

The two soon arrived at an ordinary-looking inn.

This inn is seven stories high, and no monks have passed by in front of the door. It seems that business is not booming.

"Fellow Daoist Hong. This is it. Come with me."

Qiu Zongxing said hello, then took the lead and walked in. Judging from his familiar appearance, he must have been here more than once.

Liu Yu glanced at the plaque, secretly wary in her heart, and followed it in with her usual expression.

After entering the inn, an old man with white hair who was in the late stage of Qi refining at the counter immediately saluted and said hello to the two of them.

"Stop being so pretentious. Fellow Daoist Wu is here, isn't he?"

Qiu Zongxing waved his hand and said.

"Yes, yes, uncle is upstairs. You two seniors, please come upstairs."

The white-haired old man seemed to know Qiu Zongxing and immediately replied with a smile.

Qiu Zongxing ignored this person and walked straight upstairs, followed closely by Liu Yu.

The entire inn, including the stairs, is made of wood. It makes rhythmic sounds when walking, making this inn look very ordinary.

"But who would have thought that many foundation-building monks would meet in such an ordinary inn?"

Liu Yu thought silently, looking around at the surroundings seemingly casually.

At the same time, his consciousness and spiritual awareness were fully opened, and he scanned the entire inn. Except for the obstacles on the fifth floor, the other four floors were all in full view.

The destination was already obvious. He walked side by side with Qiu Zongxing calmly, and soon went up the fourth flight of stairs towards the fifth floor.

There was a table and a chair at the end of the stairs, and an old man with a sallow complexion wearing a gray robe and a Chinese character was sitting on it. Behind him was a closed wooden door.

The old man in gray robe has a deep aura, his cultivation is in the middle stage of foundation building, and he has a faint sense of majesty.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, long time no see. How are you?"

Qiu Zongxing smiled and greeted each other. It was obvious that this was not the first time the two had met and they were already familiar with each other.

"Thanks to fellow Taoist Hongfu, my old body is still strong and I can live for another twenty or thirty years."

The old man surnamed Wu forced out a smile and greeted Qiu Zongxing.

"I wonder who this fellow Taoist is?"

After the two exchanged a few words, the old man surnamed Wu asked.

"This is Fellow Daoist Hong. He wants to participate in this exchange meeting. I am willing to be his recommender and vouch for Fellow Daoist Hong."

"Fellow Daoist Hong, this is Fellow Daoist Wu from the Wu family."

When it came to business, Qiu Zongxing put away his smile and introduced both parties.

"My Excellency, Hong Hao, came specially to participate in this exchange meeting. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Wu to make it convenient for me."

Liu Yu cupped her hands slightly and said politely with a smile.

He finally figured out that if he wanted to participate in this trade fair, he would probably have to nod his consent from the old man surnamed Wu.
