Immortal Palace Longevity

Even though he might be facing a big battle soon, Liu Yu's heart was still calm.

After sitting in the cave for a while, he sipped tea, packed up his belongings and walked out of the cave.

…

The sun was hanging in the middle of the sky, and rays of hot light shone down.

The square in the southeast corner of Yongtaifang City was already crowded at this time.

One by one, cultivators from different forces, with their own forces or families as groups, stood in various corners of the square, whispering and talking.

There were men and women, and their clothes were not exactly the same.

But the lowest cultivation level was above the middle stage of Qi Refining, and they could control magic tools to fight against the enemy.

A rough count showed that there were at least 500 people.

However, no matter how they talked, they didn't dare to make a loud noise, because there were 16 figures standing in the center of the square.

In the eyes of the cultivators in the Qi Refining period, the spiritual pressure emitted by each figure was extremely strong, and these were all "experts" in the Foundation Establishment period.

The foundation-building monks, led by Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin, and Meng Wenxing, said nothing, but just stood there, as if waiting for someone.

Suddenly, a fiery red light rose from a corner of the market, and in the blink of an eye it arrived above the square.

On the Lixuan Sword, Liu Yu's black robe fluttered, his face calm, his dark pupils looking down.

Among the five or six hundred Qi Refining Monks, less than a hundred wore the inner and outer robes of the Yuanyang Sect, less than one-sixth of the total.

After years of war, half of the disciples brought from the sect have been killed or injured.

As for the monks affiliated with the sect, there are also 150, and most of them have been killed or injured.

Because of the continuous fighting, even eight foundation-building monks were killed or injured.

The proportion of Qingzhou monks in the team is less than half.

However, with their own suppression and the control of the Soul Locking Ban, the team is still stable at present, and there will be no major problems if they follow the steps.

Although there are means such as "Spiritual Transformation Pills" that can remove the soul-locking restriction, the price to pay is not cheap.

This is just an individual case after all, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

Liu Yu nodded secretly in his heart after taking in the situation on the square, and was satisfied with the efficiency of Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin and others.

Then he reached into the storage bag on his waist with his left hand and took out a palm-sized red spaceship.

It was the Return Origin Boat!

He injected mana into it and threw it into the air, then made several spells with both hands in succession.

After leaving his hand, the Return Origin Boat did not fall down, but instead floated in the air and grew rapidly. In less than five or six breaths, it became a huge monster of fifty or sixty feet.

A huge shadow was cast down, covering the entire square.

"This special flying magic weapon should be much more expensive than the best spiritual weapon, right?"

"Only the wealthy and powerful sects with Nascent Soul ancestors have the courage to refine it."

"No matter how many times I see it, I am amazed."

Seeing the huge Guiyuan Boat emitting a light red spiritual light in the air, many cultivators from small and medium-sized forces in the square were amazed.

However, the disciples of Yuanyang Sect and some Qingzhou cultivators have taken the Guiyuan Boat many times and are no longer surprised. They look at the former with contempt.

Just like the people in the city look down on the country people, they can't help but feel a sense of superiority.

"All cultivators, quickly board the boat."

Regardless of the different thoughts of the cultivators below, Liu Yu was already standing on the deck of the Guiyuan Boat, using the sound magic to spread his voice to every corner of the square.

And Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin, Meng Wenxing, Wei Guangzheng and other sixteen foundation-building cultivators were standing behind him at this time.

As soon as the voice fell, a group of monks took off into the air, starting from the smallest to the largest according to the team number, and there was no chaos at all.

After simple training by Leng Yuexin, Meng Wenxing and others, although these Qi-refining monks may not be able to do complex coordination, they can still arrange the troops in a simple battle array.

Of course, this "military appearance" is a bit worse than Li Buyu's team.

The deck cannot accommodate too many monks. Under the command of Jiang Qiushui and Leng Yuexin, all Qi-refining monks entered the cabin, and only foundation-building monks could stay on the deck.

In just a quarter of an hour, five or six hundred monks had completed boarding.

Liu Yu just watched Jiang Qiushui and others arrange it calmly, and basically would not interfere with the specific management, as long as they did it according to their own will.

After all the monks boarded the boat, he cast several spells on the control token, and the Guiyuan Boat suddenly shook and slowly flew towards a certain direction in the southwest.

As for the cultivators who stayed in the market, they were never counted as part of the team's strength, but they could still operate normally.

…

The Liujin Stone Mine is 190 miles away from Yongtai Market. According to the flying speed of the Qi Refining Stage, it takes about two hours, so it is most appropriate to use the Guiyuan Boat to travel.

The Zhao Family of Jiutai Mountain is a family of immortal cultivators with only four foundation-building cultivators. It is not worth mentioning in front of Liu Yu.

However, compared with many small forces, it is also well-known.

It is about the same size as Wei Guangzheng's Wei Family. Looking at the 200 miles around Yongtai Market, it is also one of the best forces.

Because Jiutai Mountain is only 20 miles away from the Liujin Stone mine, after expelling the cultivators from Baiyun Temple, Jiang Qiushui asked Liu Yu for instructions and arranged for the Zhao Family to guard the mine on his behalf.

An order was passed down a day ago, and the forces within 200 miles of Yongtai Market followed suit and mobilized cultivators to rush to Jiutai Mountain.

No matter how reluctant they are, they have just joined Yuanyang Sect, and they must not disobey the order at this time.

At this time, the Jiutai Mountain of the Zhao family is already crowded.

There are four or five hundred Qi Refining cultivators from different forces, and seven Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Among the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators, there are from Xiuxian families, from small sects, and from casual cultivators with few concerns.

But now if they want to continue to stay within 200 miles of Yongtai Market, they can only obey Liu Yu's dispatch, otherwise they will have only two ways to go: leave or perish.

In the eyes of hundreds of cultivators, a light red escape light came from the horizon, quickly becoming eye-catching and huge.

At this time, the cultivators on Jiutai Mountain saw the true face of the escape light, which was actually a huge red flying boat.

"Guiyuan Boat."

"It's Brother Qingyangzi, open the formation quickly."

The Yuanyang Sect's logo on the flying boat is very eye-catching, and each Guiyuan Boat is slightly different. A cultivator recognized the origin of the flying boat and immediately reminded it.

Because the Liujin Stone vein is only more than 20 miles away from Jiutai Mountain, the Jiutai Mountain's mountain protection formation has been kept open since Zhuo Mengzhen's team occupied the vein, fearing that the Hehuan Sect cultivators would suddenly launch an attack.

Living next to the tiger, the Zhao family has been unable to sleep or eat these days.

When the head of the Zhao family saw Liu Yu standing on the boat, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to open the formation and personally greet him.

"My name is Zhao Mingcheng, and I am honored to meet you, Daoist Fellow Qingyangzi."

"The Ryukinite mine was lost in the hands of the Zhao family, please forgive me."

"If we have to fight with the monks of the Hehuan Sect later, the Zhao family is willing to be the vanguard, and everything will be at the disposal of Daoist Fellow Qingyangzi."

When the Guiyuan Boat stopped, Zhao Mingcheng, the head of the Zhao family, immediately drove the magic weapon up to apologize, bowing deeply while speaking.

"Daoist Fellow Zhao, there is no need to be polite."

"Zhuo Mengzhen's team is large in number and powerful in strength. The loss of the Ryukinite mine is not the fault of the Zhao family."

"Daoist Fellow Zhao, please relax. I will make my own judgment on what is right and wrong, and I will not disappoint my fellow Daoists who are loyal to the sect."

Liu Yu personally helped him up and said with a smile.

But after a pause, his face became serious and he continued:

"But the loss of the Ryukyuite mine is absolutely unacceptable to the sect and the team."

"No matter how rampant the other party is, we must take it back!"

With the strength of Zhuo Mengzhen's team, even if the Zhao family used the power of the entire family, they could not resist, so there was no need for severe punishment at this time.

If forced to punish, it would only chill the hearts of the cultivators who surrendered.

But the mine was lost, and the Zhao family lost a foundation-building cultivator. It is impossible to compensate, so it is good not to punish.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyang is magnanimous. I thank you on behalf of the Zhao family!"

"As long as you order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

No matter what he felt in his heart, Zhao Mingcheng was grateful after being helped up, and his words were full of the meaning of atonement.

"Yes, I already know the attitude of the Zhao family."

"Without further delay, we will go to the mine immediately to test the strength of Zhuo Mengzhen's team."

"Notify all the monks to board the boat immediately!"

Liu Yu glanced at the monks on Mount Jiutai, with a little chill on his face, and ordered.

"Yes, sir!"

Zhao Mingcheng's heart trembled, and after receiving the order, he immediately went down to notify the monks of various forces.

After a while, a series of escape lights rose up and flew towards the Guiyuan Boat.

Carrying nearly a thousand Qi Refining monks and twenty-four Foundation Establishment monks, the Guiyuan Boat was like a bright meteor, and then flew southwest.

Just a quarter of an hour later, a barren area with no grass came into view.

The Liujin stone vein is a gold vein. The land within a ten-mile range of the vein contains a large amount of gold substances, which is no longer suitable for the growth of plants and trees.

As a result, the ten-mile range is full of loess, and there are no wild animals and no grass or trees.

There were only pieces of dilapidated buildings standing on the flat ground, and thousands of ragged miners were going in and out of them.

Ryukyuite Mine!

Liu Yu looked coldly at the golden shield covering the mine, and cast several spells on the control token to control the Guiyuan Boat to land quickly.

"Boom"

The huge hull touched the ground, making a dull sound.

Liu Yu jumped off the deck, squinting his eyes slightly, and looked at the mine covered by the golden shield.

Through the shield, you can see that there are already cultivators gathered at the edge of the mine. There are about 600 people, led by 19 foundation-building cultivators.

One of the women was wearing yellow clothes, with a cold and charming face. She looked about 30 years old, and there was a kind of nobility in her every move.

Through the memory of the female cultivator surnamed Gao, he knew that this was the leader of the Hehuan Sect-Zhuo Mengzhen.

As for the mortal miners, they had been arranged to hide in their residences at this time.

All signs indicate that the other party had already made preparations.

However, Liu Yu was not surprised, after all, his actions were not particularly concealed.

It was impossible for the cultivators from all parties who gathered in Jiutai Mountain to completely hide their tracks.

While he was watching, nearly a thousand Qi Refining cultivators had already got off the Guiyuan Boat and quickly dispersed, standing on the flat ground around the mine.

If they stood too densely, a second-level spell from the other party would cause a large number of casualties.

"Seeing that we came to ask for punishment, the other party remained indifferent and did not send cultivators to negotiate."

"Could it be that they wanted to rely on the formation to hold on and let us retreat?"

Behind him, Leng Yuexin whispered.

The grievances between Yuanyang Sect and Hehuan Sect have lasted for thousands of years, making the sect generally hostile to Hehuan Sect monks, and this woman is no exception.

"No matter what the other party is up to, we don't have to care."

"Pass the order down, launch three rounds of attacks immediately, and "say hello" to the other party first."

"Lest others say that we are impolite."

"Since they don't want to talk, beat them until they are willing to talk!"

Liu Yu looked at the golden shield from afar with an expressionless face and ordered in a deep voice.

"I obey your order."

Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin, Meng Wenxing and other 23 foundation-building monks responded in unison.

Then they dispersed and led the Qi-refining monks according to the previous deployment, and passed the order down layer by layer.

Two breaths later, under the scorching sun, colorful spiritual lights suddenly bloomed.

Although this light is not dazzling and is not worth mentioning compared to the sun, the power contained in it makes Zhuo Mengzhen and his party who occupy the mine feel like they are facing a formidable enemy.

Ice needles, fire dragons, golden arrows, earth spikes, palm thunder...

Although these are only first-level upper-grade spells, there are thousands of them, densely packed like raindrops.

Even a peak cultivator in the foundation-building period would be reduced to dust when facing this torrent of spells.

After the spells, there are magic weapons, hundreds of them.

With a cold light, they attacked the golden shield from different angles.

"Not bad."

"More manpower is sometimes quite useful."

Seeing this scene, Liu Yu couldn't help but nod slightly.

The other party huddled in the formation, and even if the enemy was at the gate, he would not take the initiative to communicate.

It was nothing more than thinking that under the current situation, he would not have the determination to start a full-scale war.

Judging from the strength of both sides, if a full-scale fight really breaks out, both sides will inevitably suffer losses.

In this situation, not everyone can make up their minds.

And Zhuo Mengzhen's side probably wants to take advantage of this and make a fuss about the Liujin Stone Mine.

At this point, sending people to communicate seems too passive.

It is better to launch a few rounds of offensives first and then politely to warm up the other party and say hello.

Let the other party know your determination, take the initiative to send people to negotiate, and take the initiative in your own hands.

Just as Liu Yu was thinking, the other party had already controlled the formation, activating hundreds of golden light blades, and greeted the spells coming from all directions.

And within the formation, there are also spells and magic tools rising up to intercept the upcoming attacks from all directions.

In terms of power, the spells and magic tools in the formation are not inferior to their own, but they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of quantity.

"Bang Bang"

The golden light blades are powerful and sharp, and each one can offset two first-level medium-quality spells.

The gold-attributed spiritual energy is the most concentrated in the mine, and gold is the best choice for arranging formations here. Gold has always been known for its attack power, so it is not surprising that such a result occurs.
