Immortal Palace Longevity

Liu Yu announced the "rules" on the spot, some cultivators were extremely happy, and naturally some cultivators were unhappy.

However, the cultivators who were able to cultivate to the foundation-building stage and were sent as representatives to pay a visit were certainly not people without scheming.

Even if they were extremely unhappy and unwilling in their hearts, they would not reveal their true thoughts at this time.

On the surface, they were no different from ordinary people.

…

…

After the serious topic of "no attack", the atmosphere gradually became relaxed again.

The cultivators seemed to be having fun while toasting each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious and natural.

Putting aside the high-level leaders of various forces, the Qi-refining cultivators who occupied the majority of the team had long been tired of war.

After all, cultivating immortals is for longevity and freedom.

During the war, they had to obey the orders of their superiors and perform various tasks.

This was undoubtedly not in line with the original intentions of the cultivators. Now that nearly three years have passed, not only Liu Yu's team, but most cultivators have become tired of it.

After all, most cultivators have extremely limited vision and cannot see the long-term future.

They know nothing about the potential threat of the Seven Nations Alliance.

And no matter whether the war is won or lost, ordinary cultivators will not get much benefit, 90% will be taken away by the high and middle levels.

The remaining less than 10% will be distributed to ordinary cultivators.

If the war fails, it is often a death.

So for most cultivators, from the heart, they are against war.

When the blood of fighting for the family and the sect cools down, what is left is a long torment.

Fortunately, their sect and family stood on the right side, and they also gained something from it.

Now, the "long" war is finally over, and they have finally regained their freedom.

The long-term repression has been released, causing many cultivators to be unrestrained at the banquet, pointing out the world, arguing, and looking forward to the future.

Liu Yu glanced at these Qi-refining juniors and couldn't help but smile slightly.

They are free, and he has almost collected the spiritual herbs for refining the golden elixir, and he can practice well next.

Beside him, Jiang Qiushui didn't know what he was thinking.

However, seeing that his senior brother seemed to be in a good mood and the spiritual wine in the cup was empty, he personally filled it for him.

"Junior sister, you have worked hard."

Liu Yu smiled and said seriously.

In the past few years, if Jiang Qiushui hadn't handled the internal and external affairs properly, it would undoubtedly waste a lot of his cultivation time.

With the level of meticulousness of this woman, even if I were to do it, I might not be able to do it better.

And if there was no such woman, I would not be able to be at ease if other cultivators did it.

"Unless you are a solitary cultivator who has no worries."

"Otherwise, you still need a few trustworthy subordinates on the road to immortality."

"Otherwise, there will be many constraints."

Liu Yu sighed secretly.

If there are no reliable subordinates to do things, many things will be restricted, which has nothing to do with strength.

He deeply agrees with this point.

Of course, the relationship between Jiang Qiushui and him is not as simple as a fellow disciple and a subordinate.

"As long as you are satisfied, Senior Brother."

Facing Senior Brother's gaze, Jiang Qiushui's heart trembled and she whispered.

While speaking, she put her jade hands under the table and clenched them, shaking slightly, feeling happy and excited.

The appearance of Ji Ruyan and the two female maids seriously threatened her position and gave her a deep sense of crisis.

Now being recognized by Senior Brother is undoubtedly a great encouragement.

Although she was very happy and wanted to express her feelings, Jiang Qiushui knew that the occasion was not appropriate, so she was very restrained.

"Yeah."

Liu Yu nodded slightly, very satisfied with the performance of this woman.

Then she turned her eyes and looked at the singing and dancing girls on the square to add to the fun.

There were seven of these singing and dancing girls, with charming faces and good looks. Most of them were covered with gauze clothes, showing their gracefulness.

Every frown and smile were full of moving charm.

The slender waist twisted slightly, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, which shone with a jade-like luster and was so thin that it could not be grasped.

Many young Qi-refining people who had never tasted meat were attracted by the beauty of the singers and dancers, staring at them without blinking, with desire in their eyes.

Obviously, these young people were already tempted.

"I don't know which guy arranged it, but it's quite ingenious."

Liu Yu smiled slightly at this and looked at it with appreciation.

If it was just to help with the fun, he had no objection. Even if there was any physical transaction, he would not care as long as there was no trouble.

After all, the pleasure of men and women is human nature.

However, not all of the eight singers and dancers were exposed. There were also two women wearing carefully tailored dresses, and their charm was no less than the former.

Chu and Yan were both in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, both in the north of Tiannan.

Although the two countries are far apart, their appearance features and skin color are similar, and there is basically no big difference in appearance.

In terms of aesthetics, there is not much difference either. The beauties of Yan State are generally considered beauties in Chu State.

From Liu Yu's perspective, the two women wearing local Yan costumes have a unique flavor.

In terms of temperament, they are better than other singers and dancers. Could they be "Oiran"?

Their cultivation is also a small realm higher, and they don't seem to be ordinary singers and dancers.

Perhaps it was specially trained by his family and power for marriage?

"The Yan Kingdom was destroyed, but the intrigues between these forces did not stop at all."

Liu Yu shook his head slightly.

Looking at the "happy" scene in front of me,

Looking at these various monks changing cups and cups,

Looking at the beautiful faces of the singers and dancers,

Looking at their bodies, which are full of the characteristics of the Yan Kingdom, and their gorgeous and exquisite clothes,

Liu Yu sighed slightly, and suddenly remembered a poem from his previous life:

Smoke cage, cold water, moon cage, sand,

Stay in Qinhuai at night near a restaurant.

A merchant girl doesn’t know the hatred of losing her country;

Across the river, "Flowers in the Back Garden" is still being sung.

This situation made Liu Yu suddenly think of several questions.

He wanted to ask these forces that surrendered to the sect and the representative monks sent by these forces:

"Do you know that your country has perished?"

"Would you feel guilty if you profited from the country's demise?"

Of course, this was just a momentary thought in Liu Yu's mind, and he didn't really ask.

The concept of country is most applicable to secular mortals.

Mortals have to rely on the land to grow food to support themselves, and often cannot go far from their hometown for a lifetime, so they have a strong sense of country.

Dependence on land and other resources makes secular mortals often very xenophobic, so the "feelings of family and country" are quite important.

In times of national crisis, there are often many mortals who shed their blood and sacrifice their lives to protect their country.

Liu Yu heard that the destruction of the Yan Kingdom's mortal government met with stubborn resistance.

Unfortunately, with the intervention of the immortal cultivators, everything was doomed.

For those who cultivate immortality, food and other materials are readily available, but the resources for cultivating immortality are the most important, and they often need to search everywhere.

Moreover, monks can fly, have extremely strong mobility, and can reach very far places.

The Yan Kingdom is vast to ordinary people, but not necessarily to immortal cultivators. Therefore, the concept of "country" is far less ingrained than ordinary people.

This situation is also the same in other immortal cultivation worlds in Tiannan.

…

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Seeing that the time was almost up and the purpose of the beating had been achieved, Liu Yu announced that the banquet was over.

After the banquet, he met with the foundation-building monks in the team at the Yongtaifang City Council Hall and lifted the soul-locking restrictions for these people one by one.

In the hall, a figure is sitting in the main seat, and a figure is standing below.

"I have met fellow Taoist Qingyang."

"I am loyal to the Shangzong, and the sun and the moon have shown me that I have absolutely no second thoughts, and I will not take the opportunity to cause chaos."

"If fellow Taoist Qingyang is worried, it doesn't matter if the spirit-locking restriction is not lifted."

Wei Guangzheng said cautiously and tentatively, and then he cupped his hand.

He was the first to accept the summons. He could not guess Liu Yu's intentions and did not dare to offend him, so he felt a little uneasy.

"Fellow Taoist Guangzheng said this, but he didn't mean what he said."

"Don't worry, Liu will never break his promise and has no reason to regret anything."

Looking at Wei Guangzheng, who was a little uneasy, Liu Yu said with a half-smile.

The Soul Locking Restriction is like a shackle, binding the monks.

The pursuit of freedom is the instinct of every intelligent creature. Who wants to lose freedom and is willing to have life and death in the hands of others?

After saying that, he pinched the magic weapon with both hands, and after a breath, a white light shot out, pointing directly at the vital point of the opponent's dantian.

Wei Guangzheng became wary, but when he thought of what he just said, he suppressed his instinct and allowed the white light to finally hit his dantian.

"Hmph~!"

He only felt a pain in his dantian, and then he felt relaxed.

It's like a shackle has been lifted, it has become easier than ever, and the magic flow seems to be smoother.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Qingyang!"

Wei Guangzheng knew that this was a symptom of the lifting of the soul lock restriction, so Yu Zhongzhong cupped his hands and expressed gratitude.

"The performance of the Wei family is obvious to all, and Fellow Daoist Guangzheng is also determined."

"If you really want to serve the Lord, if there is any trouble, just go to Fenghuang Mountain and notify Liu immediately."

"If we really get useful information, Liu will report it to the sect and record the Wei family's contribution."

"Okay, let's get down."

Speaking, Liu Yu waved his hand.

After much thought, he decided to settle in Phoenix Mountain as his permanent residence during the mission.

This spiritual mountain is as high as the second-level high-grade, which is more than enough for cultivation at present. It is also close to Guque City, so it is convenient to teleport back to the sect.

"yes!"

"If there is any news, I will go to Phoenix Mountain to harass fellow Taoists."

Wei Guangzheng agreed and then exited the meeting hall.

"It is better to develop more local forces like this so that we can know immediately if there is any trouble."

"We also have our own intelligence system, which can also be established."

"As for this matter, leave it to Leng Yuexin."

Liu Yu thought for a while, then summoned the next monk to solve the soul lock restriction.

There were brief exchanges in between, and the contact with the Soul Locking Restriction was also very fast. The nineteen people completed it in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Today, the team that conquered Baiyun Temple was officially disbanded.

Wei Guangzheng and other monks were leaving Yongtaifang City one after another with their children or disciples, returning to their original territories.

When Liu Yu returned to the cave, he could see streaks of light rising into the sky outside Fang City, flying in all directions.

"It seems that these monks are really impatient."

He thought silently.

But it seemed as if he had lost something, and there was a feeling of loss.

"The power of the team is ultimately external, and it exists only because of the power granted by the sect."

"Now that the war is over, the sect has taken back this part of the power, and there is no reason to continue to lead them."

"Only one's own realm and strength are real."

Liu Yu quickly made adjustments, and his heart lake returned to the state of ancient wells and waves, and swung back to the cave in the market.

...

In the training room,

on the futon.

Liu Yu sat cross-legged, opened the jade bottle and poured out the newly refined "Shengyuan Pill", raised his head and swallowed it.

"Gurgle"

As soon as the pill entered the stomach, it quickly took effect, and a warm feeling spread in the abdomen.

Liu Yu closed his eyes, and his hands seemed to be slowly but quickly making a spell, running the seventh level of "Qingyang Gong" to refine the medicinal power and improve his cultivation.

On his face, a blue and red aura gradually emerged, and gradually became stronger, rotating and changing at an increasingly faster speed.

Black hair was flying in disorder, and the robe fluttered without wind.

A spiritual pressure gradually became stronger and slowly climbed up at a speed that was not detectable.

"Hu~"

Three hours later, Liu Yu slowly finished his work and opened his eyes.

Feeling the increase in his cultivation and mana, he smiled with satisfaction.

Although Shengyuan Pill is an ordinary pill among the second-level upper-grade pills, its effect is also extraordinary.

Compared with not taking pills, the speed of cultivation is incomparable.

The three kinds of pills, Jingyuan, Yangyuan, and Shengyuan, are all mild and long-lasting and easy to absorb, and can be regarded as a series.

It is also the most common pill in the foundation-building period.

Jingyuan Pill costs 450 spirit stones per bottle, Yangyuan Pill costs 600 spirit stones per bottle, and Shengyuan Pill costs 800 spirit stones per bottle.

Although it is just an ordinary pill, one bottle is almost equivalent to a slightly inferior top-grade magic weapon, which is enough to explain its value.

Of course, for ordinary cultivators, they still rely more on their own qualifications to practice.

With such a high price, being able to take one pill a month is already considered a good deal.

Ordinary cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage can still take one pill every ten days or half a month to cultivate, but when they reach the Foundation Building Stage, they may not be able to take one pill a month.

No other reason, it is too expensive.

In the current world of immortal cultivation where the resources are gradually decreasing, any resources that can increase cultivation are valuable.

Therefore, those large sects will use spiritual root qualifications as the main entry standard.

It is because spiritual roots cannot be changed unless they are heaven-defying divine objects, while character and other aspects can be cultivated after birth.

The cultivation resources in the Foundation Building Stage are already valuable.

Like Liu Yu, who can still take pills every day to cultivate luxuriously in the late Foundation Building Stage, it is even more unique.

Based on the information he has, he inferred that even the direct disciples of the Yuanying Patriarch may not be able to cultivate as luxuriously as himself... right?

Even though his spiritual roots were average, with the improved spiritual energy and the power of the elixir, Liu Yu estimated that his cultivation speed should be faster than that of the cultivators with different spiritual roots.

Even if he had to go through the magic fire to refine his essence, he was not much different from the cultivators with different spiritual roots.

After completing the fundamental exercises, Liu Yu took out the nourishing spirit pill and operated the "magic method of storing the spirit" to start tempering the spirit and increasing his spiritual consciousness.

Five hours after entering the training room, this training was completed.

"Song Haocang said that the secret realm where the Sanyuan fruit is located will not be opened until thirty years later, so there is no rush now."

"Now we should focus on improving our cultivation and strength, and take it slowly."

"But we can get information first, and some preparations for forming the elixir can also be started."

After practicing, Liu Yu thought for a while and then left the training room.

...

...

After bathing and changing clothes, he dismissed the two maids.

Liu Yu sipped the spiritual tea and sat on the armchair, waiting for Jiang Qiushui and Leng Yuexin to arrive.

"Senior Brother"

After dealing with the aftermath of the banquet, the two women arrived one after another.

Liu Yu met the two women this time for two main things that needed to be done immediately.

The first was to refine the spiritual herbs for the golden elixir. Now there was only one plant left. This secret matter could not be leaked, and it could only be done by Jiang Qiushui.

The second was to establish a local intelligence network to collect information about the Yuan Kingdom. This matter was handed over to Leng Yuexin.

I believe this woman will not let me down.

The other thing was to announce the departure tomorrow and continue to patrol the jurisdiction area to prevent a major chaos.
