Immortal Palace Longevity

"Rumble"

A quarter of an hour later, the stone door of the practice room slowly opened, making a dull sound.

Liu Yu walked out and with a casual glance, he saw Ji Ruyan sitting at the stone table.

This woman was still wearing the thin blue gauze dress, holding her chin with one hand and placing the other on her thin leg.

He stared blankly ahead, his eyes unfocused and he didn't know what to think.

Because he was so absorbed, he didn't even notice Liu Yu coming out.

Her black hair was still a little messy and she looked pitiful.

Like an injured kitten, silently licking its wounds, feeling very helpless.

Looking at this scene, Liu Yu felt as calm as water.

Although Ji Ruyan was taken down by him for the first time, he didn't have any weird thoughts of guilt.

This is just a transaction from start to finish.

In order to obtain the psychic energy, he provided enough resources to bankrupt ordinary foundation-building monks, while this woman had to donate the psychic energy and the first time after establishing the foundation.

That's very fair, isn't it?

The reason why Ji Ruyan was like this was because he was too emotional for a moment.

Compared with male cultivators, female cultivators are more emotional after all and are more likely to worry about gains and losses.

However, although the psychic power has been obtained and there is no need to accommodate this woman, the foundation-building monk is still very valuable and worth winning over.

After all, in today's world of immortal cultivation in Tiannan, foundation-building monks can definitely be regarded as the backbone of any sect.

I know this woman very well, so it would be best if I could get her to do things for me.

Liu Yu thought for a while, walked over and sat down at the other end of the stone table.

"Master!"

The movement in front of her eyes finally woke Ji Ruyan up. She stood up hurriedly and saluted.

His attitude is the same as during the Qi Refining period, and he seems to have not adapted to the status changes brought about by his cultivation.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

"Ruyan, now you are also a foundation-building monk, and you are considered a member of the same path. There is no need to perform this grand ceremony."

Liu Yu spoke calmly.

"Yes, maid... Ruyan understands."

Ji Ruyan responded quietly and sat down again, but her mood was still a little low.

After all, it was the psychic energy that brought him great help and broke her virginity. Liu Yu thought about it and gave some words of verbal enlightenment.

When it was almost time, he got down to business:

"Now, the original agreement has been fulfilled."

"Ruyan, please think about where to go. If you have already made a decision, you can tell Liu now."

"If you choose to return to the Ji family, then I will lift the restriction on your soul now."

"Give you your freedom."

In the absence of major interests and no threat to himself, he is relatively trustworthy.

Under normal circumstances, they are also willing to keep their promises.

For example, now, the psychic energy has brought a lot of benefits, and Ji Ruyan does not pose much threat to him.

Hearing this, Ji Ruyan's eyes flickered, and he was obviously struggling. After a while, he said:

"Sir, are you interested in finding a Taoist companion?"

"If the young master doesn't dislike it, Ruyan is willing to..."

Her voice became quieter and quieter, until she was barely audible.

But the content surprised Liu Yu. He did not expect that this "maid" would be so bold as usual and dare to ask himself such a question.

However, he was surprised, so he still categorically denied:

"Liu has a heart for immortality and has no intention of becoming a Taoist couple with a female cultivator."

He answered without hesitation, showing great determination, leaving no doubt about the authenticity of his words.

Seeing Ji Ruyan's face turn pale, Liu Yu changed the topic and said:

"However, although he has no intention of looking for a Taoist companion, Liu is not a stubborn stone."

"I have broken your virginity. If you are willing to suffer a little injustice, Liu can give you the title of concubine."

"From now on, stay with me and do things."

"Are you willing?"

With the Immortal Mansion in hand, Liu Yu could not find a Taoist companion who was too close, equal to him, and shared weal and woe.

This was decided many years ago.

But the concubine is different. Her status cannot be compared with that of a Taoist monk. She can only be regarded as a vassal of a male cultivator.

If he could use his status as a concubine to turn a foundation-building monk into one of his own, he would be very happy.

What's more, Ji Ruyan's qualifications are not bad, his foundation is relatively deep, and there is still room for improvement in his cultivation.

As your level improves, you can start building your own team now so that it can be used by you when needed in the future.

"Just a concubine?"

Ji Ruyan pursed her lips and fell into silence again.

Seeing this, Liu Yu did not rush. He took out a pot of spiritual tea from the storage bag, heated it slightly with the foundation building fire, poured a cup and drank it himself.

Although a foundation-building monk is valuable, it is not worth the compromise.

With his current status, it is actually not difficult to gather a few foundation-building monks to work for him.

The main reason why he wanted to take Ji Ruyan in was that he knew this woman better, and the second reason was to take her virginity.

"If Ruyan is willing, I hope you don't dislike me for being like a Puliu~"

As if she suddenly figured something out, Ji Ruyan raised her head, looked directly at Liu Yu bravely, and said firmly.

At this moment, she left her family behind.

Because his spiritual root qualifications are considered excellent, Ji Ruyan was trained by the Ji family early on, so he naturally understands many principles.

This also made her see from Liu Yu's moves that he was different from ordinary cultivators.

She also knew that practicing with the young master was far more promising than returning to the family, so that she could go further on the path of immortality.

After all, the Ji family was just a small family.

The help they could provide to her in the foundation-building period was limited, and it might even hinder her own practice.

People are selfish after all.

Just like many years ago, because she was afraid of becoming a tool for marriage, she did not tell her family about her body of Tongyu Fengsui.

This time, she also considered it from her own standpoint first.

At most, she could help the family more in the future and double the return for the previous cultivation.

"I believe that the young master will not treat me unfairly, so there is no need to lift the Yuanshen restriction."

"Anyway, there will be no time to use it, so it's okay to keep it."

Ji Ruyan continued.

"Very good, Ruyan, you made the right choice."

"This magic weapon can be used for both attack and defense. You can use it for self-defense. Consider it Liu's betrothal gift!"

Liu Yu smiled slightly when he heard this, took out a jade green bracelet, and personally put it on the concubine he had just taken in.

This top-grade magic weapon was obtained from killing a female cultivator from Baiyun Temple in the past two years.

Because the bracelet was powerful and good-looking, he kept it for some reason.

With the restriction of the soul, he could use it with confidence. Naturally, he would not refuse the offer made by this woman.

"Young Master, it's so beautiful."

Ji Ruyan raised her hand and looked at the jade green bracelet on her wrist, with a happy smile on her face.

The originally depressed mood also improved at this time.

Next, the two talked about some other things, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. In a blink of an eye, another quarter of an hour passed.

"As for the status, Liu will host a banquet for all the fellow disciples after the war in Yan State is over to announce it."

"The most urgent thing is, Ruyan, you should get familiar with the new realm first."

"After you get familiar with the realm, I will arrange things for you to do."

Liu Yu said seriously.

"Ruyan understands, and I am looking forward to that day."

"Sir, Ruyan will leave."

Ji Ruyan said obediently, then gently pulled out her hand and turned back to her room.

Watching the figure of this woman disappear, Liu Yu retracted his gaze, his smile gradually subsided, and he sat at the table and pondered.

It stands to reason that the relationship between the two is closer, and he is not short of spirit stones, elixirs, etc., so he should give some to the concubine to let her quickly improve her strength.

But Liu Yu has no such idea at all.

First of all, even with the Yuanshen restriction, he will never really trust a cultivator completely.

The secret of the Immortal Mansion can only be known by himself.

He will not do anything that may lead to the exposure of the Immortal Mansion.

If he generously gave spirit stones, elixirs, etc. to Ji Ruyan or Jiang Qiushui, and the news was accidentally leaked, it would certainly arouse suspicion.

Even with the cover of the second-level alchemist, it could not offset this suspicion, and it might even attract the attention of high-level cultivators,

because his wealth was not comparable to that of ordinary alchemists.

Secondly, he cherished the hard-earned resources very much, and he did not have the habit of giving them away for nothing to help other cultivators.

Whether it was Jiang Qiushui or Ji Ruyan, or some other cultivators, Liu Yu subdued or made friends with these cultivators just for himself.

Reduce the consumption of time, have more time to practice, increase his influence, improve his status in the sect, etc.

This was the original intention, and he would not forget it.

Of course, the concubines were also considered his own people, and he could give a preferential "internal price" for elixirs in the future.

Let the two women have more money on hand than other cultivators.

But it is impossible to "get it for free", unless...

Thinking of this, Liu Yu smiled.

The several magic and spiritual tools that were on credit to Jiang Qiushui were paid off by her with the spoils of war in the past two years.

This woman was his spokesperson in the team, managing many internal and external affairs, and it was very convenient for her to make money. I think she should have made more money than Yan Kai and Leng Yuexin.

Of course he knew this situation, but it didn't matter who made money, it was better for his own people to get the benefits than for outsiders.

As long as his share was not less, he would turn a blind eye.

After thinking for a while, Liu Yu took out a few sound transmission notes, engraved the information with his spiritual consciousness, and then injected magic power into the air and threw it into the air.

The sound transmission notes turned into a few inconspicuous white lights and left the cave through the skylight.

He was notifying Wu Chang and others to pay attention to information about high-level auctions, exchange meetings, etc., and notify himself immediately if there was any situation.

With the improvement of his cultivation, the role of the best magic tools on him became less and less.

Even the thick earth umbrella, a fine product among the best magic tools, was no exception.

If he faces a top-level foundation-building cultivator, or a figure like the Three Heroes and Four Heroes, the opponent is holding a high-grade spiritual weapon or even a top-grade spiritual weapon.

I am afraid that this magic weapon will be damaged after a few rounds of attacks.

By then, this will become an obvious weakness of his, and he will never allow this to happen.

"The capacity of the barrel depends on the shortest piece of wood."

Liu Yu will not forget this and has been paying attention to it early.

Unfortunately, there has been no harvest.

The difficulty and cost of refining spiritual weapons far exceeds that of magic weapons, resulting in a rarity that is also far greater than that of magic weapons.

Some small and medium-sized forces have no ability to refine spiritual weapons, so they do not exist in their shops.

Only shops opened by big forces will occasionally release one or two pieces, but they are also quickly sold out.

After a moment of hesitation, Liu Yu walked towards the practice room.

…

Back in the practice room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the cushion.

At this time, only seven days had passed since the two-month deadline agreed with Jiang Qiushui, and there were still more than fifty days to stay in the sect, so there was plenty of time.

At present, both his cultivation and mana are infinitely close to the peak of the middle stage of foundation building, and are at the critical point of being able to impact the late stage at any time.

He thought for a while and decided to immediately carry out the fifth and sixth magic fire refining.

Although the mana refined by the spiritual energy is of very high purity, even after the fifth and sixth magic fire refining, it cannot be refined a little bit.

But the magic fire refining is a secret technique that complements the Qingyang Gong. It is not just as simple as purifying mana, but also has other functions.

For example, the mana that has been refined by the magic fire can be more smooth and more in line with the practice.

The use of the technique brings with it spells such as "body protection flame shield", which is a bit more powerful.

And from his current perspective, this step seems to be related to future cultivation...

Gathering Qi and concentrating the mind, holding the Yuan and guarding the One.

Liu Yu closed his eyes and remained still.

He quickly forgot the ecstasy experience not long ago, and gradually entered a state of forgetting both the self and the world.

At a certain moment, his hands suddenly moved, and the spells were pinched quickly and urgently.

At the same time as the spells were pinched, the deep blue Qingyang Demon Fire in the Dantian suddenly beat faster, and soon after the flames suddenly rose!

Liu Yu's heart was calm, and he used the magic fire refining secret technique in an orderly manner, and began to control the Qingyang Demon Fire to temper the new magic power.

He concentrated all his mind and was very careful.

The magic fire refining is extremely dangerous, and it is carried out in the Dantian.

The Dantian is both strong and fragile. If there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.

In the jade slips that originally recorded Qingyang Gong, there were many experiences left by former cultivators, which clearly recorded that many cultivators made mistakes in the step of refining the essence with magic fire.

Eventually, the dantian was damaged and could not make any progress, or even died directly.

However, Liu Yu's consciousness had reached a range of eleven miles, far beyond that of ordinary cultivators, and could control the changes of the magic fire more precisely.

In addition, he took steady steps and was careful, and the whole process went smoothly.

Three days later.

Cailian Mountain Cave Mansion, training room.

"Hu"

Liu Yu opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

This was just an ordinary blow, but even the dust three feet away was blown up, which shows how strong his physical body is now.

Although he had not found a suitable physical training method, he had planned it long ago, but it has not been implemented until now.

But the habit of taking a dragon blood fruit every few days has not changed.

Over time, his physical body has improved significantly.

It was a bit exaggerated to say that he could catch a spiritual weapon with bare hands. After Liu Yu tried it for a while, he found that the lower-grade magic weapon could not break his defense.

Even if he stood still and let it attack at will, it would be difficult to cause effective damage.

Unless the attack hits the vital parts, such as the throat, eyes, or anus, clones, etc.
