Immortal Palace Longevity

"That's all I have to say. Fellow Daoist Hong, you may as well go back and think about it."

"Just help me kill or defeat the guardian monster, and I will give you the formula and information about the spiritual herbs."

"If you have thought it through, you can come to Fengyu Tower to discuss it at noon three days later."

The Taoist Qingsong said with a smile, and then picked up the teacup.

Liu Yu knew that the Taoist had made up his mind, and it would probably be ineffective to continue to persuade him.

He saw that his intention to serve tea and send him off was very obvious, so he didn't want to stay any longer. He said that he would think about it carefully, and then got up and walked downstairs.

Walking on the wooden staircase, Liu Yu looked back and took a deep look, just in time to see the black-robed man sitting down.

"If I'm not mistaken, the other helper invited by Taoist Qingsong is this person."

With this thought in mind, Liu Yu left Fengyu Tower.

After confirming that there were no cultivators following him, he found an alley to restore his original appearance and returned to Yudan Hall.

Without notifying Jiang Qiushui, Liu Yu opened the ban and entered the room and sat down, and then began to think.

First of all, Taoist Qingsong insisted on a condition. If he wanted to get the formula of Canglang Spirit Water this time, he had to enter the Jinxing branch and at least help him defeat the monster and get the golden elixir.

Then Liu Yu thought about whether he should give up this opportunity. Anyway, his cultivation had just broken through not long ago, and he would not have to face the bottleneck for a while.

However, this detoxifying spiritual object was made from spiritual herbs and could slightly improve his qualifications, which made him a little hesitant.

If he could get the formula, he could ripen it through the Immortal Palace and continuously prepare Canglang Spirit Water, and he would no longer have to worry about the elixir poison, at least not in the foundation building realm.

It should be noted that as long as you take the elixir, you will definitely produce elixir poison. Even if you clean up a lot of elixir poison at one time, as long as you still take the elixir, you will definitely have elixir poison.

Although if there is not much elixir poison, it will not have a big impact on the cultivator, but Liu Yu can't stand taking a Yangyuan Pill and a Yangshen Pill every day.

If it is another spiritual object that can only be used once, you have to continue to search, which will involve a certain amount of energy.

If the formula of Canglang Spiritual Water is obtained and all the spiritual herbs are collected, it can be continuously configured to solve the problem once and for all.

Not wanting to miss the Canglang Spiritual Water, Liu Yu then began to weigh the risks of this operation and estimated the strength of the Taoist Qingsong and the black-robed insect cultivator.

Finally, he concluded that the two men were not a big threat to him.

Taoist Qingsong was a casual cultivator. Although he had a certain reputation among casual cultivators, he was not a famous cultivator.

Although his realm was high, his cultivation method and magic tools would not be very good. His combat power should be somewhat different from that of Li Bu Tong, a Jindan cultivator's direct disciple, and should be on par with himself.

After all, he had the best spiritual tools and the magic spell Jingshen Thorn as his support, and his mana was more refined than that of ordinary mid-stage foundation-building cultivators, but the total amount of mana was insufficient, and it would be disadvantageous for him to continue to stalemate.

The black-robed male cultivator was only in the mid-stage foundation-building stage, suspected to be a cultivator of the Yuling Sect, and most of his strength depended on the quality of his spirit beasts and spirit insects. However, his realm is comparable to his own. Even if his spirit insect is ferocious, Liu Yu is confident that he can fight against it with the sharpness of his magic weapon.

If the two of them join forces and sacrifice the talisman, they can retreat calmly. After all, the price of talismans is tens of thousands of spirit stones, which is not affordable for most casual cultivators and sect cultivators.

Considering all his own advantages and disadvantages, for Liu Yu, the biggest risk of entering the Venus branch is not the two people, but the monsters in the mountains.

The Venus branch is still dominated by monsters. All the orders of human cultivators will lose their effect after entering it. There may be a third-level demon pill stage monster passing by at any time.

The cultivator's body contains a lot of spiritual energy, which is a great tonic for monsters, and the foundation-building cultivator can already enter the eyes of the third-level monster, which is worth hunting.

Moreover, humans and monsters are hostile to each other. As long as the strength difference is not big, they will hunt each other without any reason. If the place where Qingsong Laodao wants to go is too deep, there is a risk of being besieged by monsters.

Risks and benefits

Liu Yu's eyes flickered constantly, weighing the risks and gains and losses in his mind.

Finally, his eyes condensed, and he made up his mind to go.

With the Instant Thousand Miles Talisman in hand, he could activate it in an instant. Even if he saw that the situation was not right, he would still have no problem using this talisman to save his life.

"However, some preparations are still needed."

Liu Yu muttered to himself.

The Instant Thousand Miles Talisman, a life-saving trump card, would be gone after it was used. He was reluctant to consume it, and it would be best if he could never use it.

So he needed to prepare one or two other means to escape a long distance in an instant, and then control the escape light to retreat calmly.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu disguised himself, hid his cultivation to the initial stage of foundation building, and went in and out of major shops to find a suitable means.

Finally, after careful comparison, he spent 8,000 spirit stones and bought a "Earth Escape Talisman" that could move extremely quickly to fifty miles away in the Tianfu Pavilion.

Its escape speed was only slightly worse than the Thunder Escape and Wind Escape.

Once activated, this talisman can instantly move a distance of fifty miles in the specified direction at an extremely fast speed, which is extremely powerful for a cultivator in the foundation-building stage.

Because the range of the spiritual consciousness of the peak of the foundation-building stage is generally only ten miles, it is naturally much easier to escape from the spiritual consciousness lock beyond this range.

However, if facing a Jindan cultivator or a demon-level monster, the effect will be discounted, because the spiritual consciousness of a Jindan cultivator or a monster starts at fifty miles. If it is used at the wrong time, it cannot escape the spiritual consciousness lock.

After getting the Earth Escape Talisman, the number of spirit stones in Liu Yu's storage bag dropped to 5,000. He had no problem buying powerful means, and there were many consumables in his storage bag, so he returned to the Jade Pill Hall.

…

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Three days later, at noon.

Liu Yu transformed into Hong Hao, still dressed as a Taoist in a yellow robe, and came to Fengyu Tower.

Waving his hand to signal the waiter not to greet him, he slowly walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor. As he climbed up the stairs, his vision gradually widened, and two figures came into view.

One was the old Taoist Qingsong, who was wearing a Qingsong Taoist robe and had a black beard, and looked like an immortal. The other was a black-robed male cultivator in a black robe, pale, and arrogant. He was suspected to be a cultivator of the Yuling Sect.

The two sat opposite each other, silent, as if waiting for something.

"Haha, I am very relieved that Daoist Fellow Hong can come."

"Daoist Fellow, please rest assured. What I said that day will not be false."

Seeing Liu Yu coming, the two turned their eyes and the old Taoist Qingsong stood up and greeted him with a smile.

As for the black-robed male cultivator, he still sat there without any expression.

"I still can't let go of the thing in Daoist Fellow's hand. Hong has to come. I just hope Daoist Fellow Qingsong will keep his promise."

Liu Yu bowed slightly and said "helplessly".

He fully showed the image of a cultivator who has some strength, but not too strong, and seems to be a little overconfident.

"Daoist Fellow Hong, please rest assured. The old Taoist's principle of life has always been to put integrity first."

"By the way, this is Daoist Fellow Canglan Cang, another helper invited by this poor Taoist this time."

"Daoist Cang, this is Daoist Fellow Hong."

Daoist Qingsong seemed to be in a good mood when he saw Liu Yu coming. After repeated assurances, he began to give a brief introduction to the two helpers.

Canglan's reaction was flat, and he just nodded faintly to the introduction.

Seeing this, Liu Yu just bowed his hands, not wanting to make friends with him.

Because it is the instinct of cultivators to improve their cultivation and realm, but improving cultivation cannot do without the help of immortal resources, and the process of searching for resources is often accompanied by killing and blood, so the relationship between strangers is often cold and hostile.

This is the norm in the world of immortal cultivation.

If a cultivator who has no relatives or friends is overly enthusiastic towards another cultivator, it may be out of goodwill, but it is more likely that there are other intentions.

Since they are going to enter the Venus branch together, of course they know each other's methods a little bit, not to mention cooperation, at least to avoid internal friction.

"I mainly use the Dustless Sword..."

As the initiator, Qingsong Laodao first talked about his own methods.

"I mainly control a kind of fire-attributed spirit insect, which is slightly better than the general top-grade magic weapon."

Canglan spoke coldly, as if his personality was indifferent and paranoid, and he still didn't take off his hood at this time.

"Hong's magic weapon is a longbow of gold attribute..."

Liu Yu followed suit and briefly introduced his own methods.

After some understanding, he learned that the Taoist Qingsong mainly used a top-grade magic weapon flying sword, and the black-robed male cultivator Canglan drove a fire-attributed spiritual insect called "Flying Firefly".

Just as he only showed a part of his strength, Liu Yu would naturally not think that this was the true strength of the two, at most it was just the most superficial part.

"Originally, I thought that if fellow Taoist Hong didn't come, I would have to find a way to ask another fellow Taoist for help, but since fellow Taoist Hong has come, there is no need to do so."

"Without further delay, if the two fellow Taoists have no objection, we will set off now!"

After the introduction, the Taoist Qingsong pointed to the stairs and said anxiously.

Liu Yu had been prepared before coming, so he naturally had no objection at this time, and Canglan arrived one step earlier than Liu Yu, and his attitude had already explained everything.

The two of them stood up and walked towards the stairs.

"We must get the Jindan spiritual objects, and we must not let go of the wealth of these two people."

"Then, the real Jindan can be expected!"

Behind the two, the old Taoist Qingsong also stood up and followed.

But greed flashed in the depths of his eyes, as if he thought of a bright future. The greed in his eyes turned into heat, and he smiled silently and mysteriously, and then quickly disappeared.

The three cultivators with different thoughts walked out of Fengyu Tower together, walked quickly towards the east gate of the market, and flew to the branch of Venus after leaving the east gate.

Many Qi-refining cultivators who had returned from the adventure in the mountains saw the three foundation-building predecessors going out, and hurriedly turned their escape lights to the side, and waited for the foundation-building predecessors to fly away before continuing to move forward.

Although Qingzhou has expressly prohibited the act of killing people for treasures, once discovered, they will be labeled as evil cultivators and wanted.

But if you bump into a high-level cultivator, you will be punished with a minor punishment or a serious warning, and no one will think it is wrong.

Such things happen every year in the world of immortal cultivation, and Yuanyang Sect will not care.

In the light of escape, Liu Yu looked around and memorized the nearby terrain.

Although he had bought a topographic map in advance, it was still not as clear as seeing it with his own eyes.

A distance of dozens of miles was too short for a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and it was crossed in less than two quarters of an hour.

An endless mountain range came into the sight of the three people.

It was composed of tall peaks and various terrains, including primitive forests, wide lakes, smelly swamps, etc., as well as waterfalls, grasslands, valleys, basins, etc.

Above the tall ancient trees, there are various ferocious or beautiful birds flying by. Under different appearances, they have the same powerful power and the same identity - monsters.

Apart from the monster birds flying in the sky, there are few monsters in grasslands, forests, swamps and other places.

Because with the continuous influx of human monks, the original pattern has been broken, and those monsters with weak vigilance, weak strength and obvious targets have long been eliminated.

The remaining monsters have long learned to hide and no longer show their tracks.

They may deliver a fatal blow at any time in an unexpected place, but the calm scene is full of murderous intent.

Even the monsters that are not hiding have increased their vigilance and will react immediately at the slightest disturbance.

Three escape lights fell at the entrance of the mountain, revealing the figures of Liu Yu, Qingsong Laodao and Canglan.

There are Jindan monks stationed at the entrance of the mountain. To enter the mountain along this safe passage, a small amount of spirit stones are required according to the cultivation level. In exchange, if the monks provoke powerful monsters in the mountain, they will be protected as long as they escape to the entrance.

Even if they are monsters in the demon dan stage, they will not chase them at the entrance, because the high-level people and monsters have already reached some tacit understanding.

After paying the spirit stones, the three people restrained their breath and raised their vigilance to enter the mountain along the entrance, and each of them used the wind control technique to run and jump in the mountains and forests.

Because the flying target of the flying instrument is too obvious, it is easy to become the target of monsters, and the speed of human monks is generally slower than that of monster birds of the same level.

Therefore, in the Venus branch, even the dumbest monks dare not fly carelessly.

The Venus branch of the Hengduan Mountains is seven or eight hundred miles long, but after the development and exploration of the monks, the first thirty miles are still relatively safe.

"Fellow Daoist Qingsong, we have already entered the mountain range, so you should tell us where the monster is, right?"

"So that Hong and Fellow Daoist Cang can be prepared."

"Are you going too deep into the mountain range?"

While running, Liu Yu suddenly stopped and asked calmly.

Cang Lan also paused when he heard this and looked at the old Taoist Qingsong.

"Why are you two Daoists so anxious? There are Jindan-stage monsters lurking in the depths of the mountain range. How could I go there to die?"

"Otherwise, since we have come here, I will not hide it from you two Daoists."

"The place I am talking about this time is..."

The old Taoist Qingsong knew that it was a bit unreasonable to hide it at this point, so he stopped and released his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings while moving his lips to transmit his spiritual sense.

The old Taoist learned that the place where the Dan-forming spirit object existed was located in a cold pond 380 miles away from the entrance, where there was a second-level peak ice-water attribute "Yinming Spirit Snake".

The snake demon's body is extremely hard, and even the attacks of the best magic weapons do not hurt it and cannot cause serious injuries.

Moreover, several innate magic spells have reached the second-level upper grade, which is not inferior to the Golden Wind Dispersion Technique and the Black Bird Flame Technique. If you fight in the cold pond, your magical power will increase by three points.

"Three hundred and eighty miles deep? That is already very close to the deepest part."

Canglan took off his hood at this time, revealing a pale and cold face without a trace of blood. He frowned slightly.

"What Daoyou Qingsong needs is in the cold pond?"

Liu Yu held his chin with one hand and asked with a serious face.

Then he got a positive answer.

"The second-level peak demon beast Yinming Ling Snake, and it is still in the cold pond. This is not easy to deal with."

Hearing this, Liu Yu frowned.
