Immortal Palace Longevity

"I believe that with the Holy Fire Cult monks leading the way, it will take no more than three days to explore the secret realm."

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and a mysterious smile appeared on Liu Yu's lips.

His original 20-mile spiritual awareness was suppressed to only 6 miles, not to mention ordinary monks.

According to his estimation, it would be good to have 2 miles.

The spiritual awareness gap has not narrowed. To a certain extent, everyone's spiritual awareness range has been suppressed, which is beneficial to themselves.

Liu Yu and the other six stood under the decaying building, waiting quietly.

There was no movement from the Qingmu Tower, and the first floor of the secret realm was also silent. I don't know what is inside, and whether Tang Tianbao is going well.

The Holy Fire Order is on Tang Tianbao. If he is entangled by the guard puppet at this time, it will be troublesome.

So the six people didn't think of moving around, always paying attention to the situation in all directions, and patiently waiting for news.

In silence, time passed slowly, and half a quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

(Anti-theft chapter, refreshed after ten minutes)

Two years later.

Yan State, Youzhou.

Yongtai Market is just a small-to-medium-sized market, located on a second-level medium-quality spiritual vein.

It is not backed by a certain monster mountain range, nor is it close to any large fairy city. It has no advantages in terms of geographical location.

But it is just at the intersection of several second-level resource points, and several second-level resource points are occupied by foundation-building forces. They were jointly established for the purpose of mutual exchange between several forces.

But it is almost impossible to develop further.

After two years of fermentation, the unrest in Yan State and Nanyu State finally swept to Yongtai Market.

After a great battle four days ago, the flag was changed here.

At this time, in the training room of a cave with the most abundant spiritual energy in Yongtai Market.

A young man in a black robe with an ordinary face was sitting cross-legged on a cushion to practice.

Beads of sweat kept appearing on his face, rolling down and wetting his clothes.

It seems that the practice is at a critical moment.

This person is Liu Yu!

At this time, his brows were furrowed, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was pinching the magic formula quickly and urgently.

This situation has lasted for two hours.

Time passed slowly, and after another half an hour, Liu Yu's speed of pinching the magic formula slowed down and gradually stopped.

Finally, he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of black pupils!

Two fascinating divine lights emerged from his eyes, and then slowly disappeared after a while.

This is a phenomenon that occurs when the consciousness, or mental power, grows too fast and cannot be perfectly controlled.

Ten miles range, the peak of foundation building!

Feeling the power of the consciousness at this time, Liu Yu was in a good mood, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Two years have passed, and his cultivation has maintained a rapid momentum with the help of the Red Yuan Dan.

But it is still a little short of the fifth magic fire refining.

But in terms of consciousness, he has cultivated one step ahead and reached the peak of the foundation building of ordinary cultivators.

The Buddhists say that the mortal world is like a sea of ​​suffering.

The physical body is a boat on the sea of ​​suffering, and the soul and the primordial spirit are the passengers on the boat. They need to use the boat to cross the sea of ​​suffering and go to the "other shore".

But if the primordial spirit is strong enough, it can get rid of the shackles of the boat and walk freely in the sea of ​​suffering in the mortal world.

There are also descriptions in this regard in many Taoist classics, but the metaphors are different.

The spiritual consciousness is the external manifestation of the power of the primordial spirit. Liu Yu attaches no less importance to the spiritual consciousness than to the improvement of cultivation.

The so-called "refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit".

He has a vague feeling that perhaps the primordial spirit is a key point in the cultivation of the middle realm.

…

After a short rest, Liu Yu continued to use his spiritual consciousness according to the content of the "Magic Method of Preserving the Spirit" and displayed various skills and secrets.

Soon, he controlled the surging spiritual consciousness, and the divine light in his eyes was completely restrained.

Looking at the robes soaked with sweat on his body, Liu Yu shook his head slightly, got up and walked out of the practice room.

Two years have passed, and his appearance has not changed at all. Time seems to have left no trace.

Only the corners of his eyebrows and eyes have added a sense of vicissitudes of life.

"Young Master."

"The water is ready, you can take a bath at any time."

Yingge and Yanwu saluted, and the latter said in a delicate voice.

In the past two years, the two women have also learned some of Liu Yu's habits.

For example, after practicing, he basically has to take a bath and change clothes. For example, when reading classics, he likes to drink spiritual tea.

And he doesn't like to drink cold tea, but warm tea that is neither cold nor hot.

So when the master is practicing, the two maids can only wait outside the practice room.

After the master finishes practicing, one woman is responsible for serving bathing and changing clothes, and the other woman is responsible for preparing spiritual tea.

However, the "favor" that Yanwu has been thinking about has never come, which makes this woman never forget it.

But if the master doesn't have that intention, she will never dare to take the initiative.

Otherwise, if the hairpin crosses the line and makes the master angry, the end may be miserable.

Maids have a lowly status, and reality is so cruel, there is no choice.

"Yeah."

Liu Yu responded lightly and walked straight to the bathroom.

Yan Wu lagged behind half a step, followed closely, and Ying Ge turned around to prepare spiritual tea.

Walking into the bathroom, Liu Yu raised his hands and spread them out.

Yan Wu pursed her lips, resisted the embarrassment and stretched out her white and tender palm, slowly approached and touched the belt.

Liu Yu felt a pair of soft and boneless hands, slowly groping his body, and the owner of the hands was a little restrained and nervous.

He smiled in his heart. This was not the first time. He was used to it and was very calm.

After a while, the clothes were taken off one by one.

… (Fifty words omitted here)

When Liu Yu walked out of the bathroom, he felt refreshed and changed into a new robe. The fatigue caused by cultivation was swept away.

Yan Wu, wearing a lavender dress, followed him step by step, and her cheeks were stained with a layer of pink.

"Sir, the spiritual tea is ready."

Seeing the master come out, Yingge hurriedly greeted him and saluted.

"Well~, all right, there is nothing for you here."

"You go down and wait."

Liu Yu said gently.

No matter how the maid is, she is still his own person. In the case of clear distinction between superiors and subordinates, his attitude is generally gentle.

Of course, if anyone makes a mistake, there will be no mercy in the punishment.

"Yes."

Yingge agreed first, and Yanwu followed half a breath later, and agreed unwillingly.

The two women walked out of the cave one after the other, and soon, their graceful figures disappeared in front of them.

Liu Yu leaned on the armchair, holding a steaming spiritual tea in one hand and a book in the other hand, slowly flipping through it, stopping from time to time to think and ponder.

A quarter of an hour later, this thin book had reached the last page.

He put it on the table and fell into thinking again.

The mountain gate of Baiyun Temple is located at the junction of Youzhou and Bingzhou. The nearest large gathering place for immortal cultivators is "Xianque City".

And Yongtaifang City is already in the second half of Youzhou, only about a thousand miles away from "Xianque City".

If everything goes well for the main force of the sect and his team, it will probably take only a few months to reach the city of Xianque and start the final battle.

Recalling the experience of the past two years, Liu Yu's eyes were filled with a little sigh.

After the main force of the sect captured the Jinque Market, Baiyun Temple had completely reacted and made corresponding deployments.

It fully played the advantage of the home field, integrated many large and small forces of the two continents, arranged a line of defense, and made a tenacious resistance.

The way to this point was really difficult and thrilling, and encountered many dangers.

Even Liu Yu himself encountered an opponent of equal strength. He could not gain any advantage without taking out the trump card at the bottom of the box, and the progress of the task was once stagnant.

Fortunately, he found helpers and asked the senior sister Li Buyu to help at the critical moment, and finally resolved the dilemma.

For this, he also paid a lot of prices and gave up a lot of resources.

The team suffered heavy casualties. Most of the monks who were initially recruited in the Phoenix Mountain area have died, and it is difficult to find familiar faces.

Even among the 300 Qi Refining cultivators from Qingzhou, only about 170 were left.

However, with the intentional care of Liu Yu and others, there were still about 90 disciples left in the sect, which was also the result of hard work.

Fortunately, the strategy implemented since Phoenix Mountain has worked. It has been actively attracting local forces and cultivators in Yan State, and has not been stingy with rewards such as spiritual stones, elixirs, industries, and spiritual mountains.

With one hand holding the butcher knife and the other hand holding the dessert, the number of Qi Refining cultivators in the team was barely maintained at more than 500.

Otherwise, with too few people, stabilizing the situation would become a problem.

After all, we can't let the foundation-building cultivators run around and be busy inside and outside. This is extremely inefficient and can't be managed at all.

There were also many casualties among the foundation-building cultivators.

Wei Guping, the second elder of the Wei family, died, the head of the Kang family died, and three people including Wu Yongchun, who were affiliated with the sect, died.

Liu Yu took out a list and looked over it. There were already many names on it.

A rough count showed that there were more than a thousand names.

Behind each cold name, there was once a living cultivator.

But now, apart from a name, no one knows what else is left.

This is a veritable "death list".

Even Yan Kai was seriously injured and dying in a war, but he was lucky enough to escape at a critical moment.

Before his injuries were healed, he had little strength left.

So now, he has returned to his original base, Guque City, to recuperate, and he doesn't have to participate in the increasingly fierce war.

It must be said that this is also a kind of luck.

This kid made a lot of money and brought enough resources to the rear, which can be regarded as "retreating bravely".

But Cui Liang was not so lucky. In the same battle, he died directly without even leaving a corpse.

This fellow disciple who was somewhat lustful, somewhat wretched, and cowardly died in Yan State.

In Liu Yu's team alone, thousands of Qi Refining cultivators had died, and eight Foundation Establishment cultivators had also fallen.

However, thanks to the correct strategy, many cultivators chose to surrender along the way.

Therefore, the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators increased instead of decreasing, reaching as many as seventeen. More than half of the team's Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yan State had surrendered.

But with the control of the Soul Locking Restriction, Liu Yu was not worried about being backlashed.

"Qiu Shui wants to see Senior Brother."

While Liu Yu was thinking, a gentle voice came from the entrance of the cave, interrupting his thoughts.

"come in."

Liu Yu said via voice transmission.

Soon, a figure of a beautiful female cultivator appeared in the cave.

She was wearing a white dress, like a fairy who was not stained by dust.

This woman has picturesque eyebrows and delicate facial features. She is dressed in a graceful dress with a slender waist, and her white jade fingers are painted with purple nails.

Combined with the natural temperament, there is a thrilling beauty.

It's Jiang Qiushui!

"Brother, this is the battle to attack Yongtaifang City and surrounding forces. The list of casualties among the monks in the team."

"There is also a list of forces that have chosen to surrender."

Jiang Qiushui sat next to Liu Yu and told him straight to the point.

She has dealt with this kind of thing many times and is already familiar with it, so she will rarely make any mistakes.

I also knew that my senior brother didn’t like to beat around the bush and delay when it came to business, so I made my intention clear.

As she spoke, she touched her storage bag and placed the two lists on the table.

Liu Yu picked up the two lists and checked them one by one. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said:

"I already know this."

"Junior sister, could you please inform these forces and ask them to send interlocutors? I will summon them in Yongtaifang City in two months."

As more and more people died directly or indirectly because of Liu Yu, he couldn't even remember the number, and he no longer felt anything, let alone been touched.

Unless someone familiar dies, there may be some ripples in his heart.

Otherwise, to him, these lost lives are no different than ants in the grass and trees.

In the past two years, Qingyang Demonic Fire has been able to advance to the seventh level, burning a lot of creatures.

The cruel reputation of Demon Qingyang has gained quite a reputation in the entire Youzhou Immortal Cultivation World.

"Understood, senior brother."

Jiang Qiushui looked at Liu Yu and nodded meekly, with a different look in his eyes.

This was not the first time that something like this had happened. She was already very familiar with the process, and the two of them cooperated very well. They would do some things without being told.

It is precisely because of the magic weapon and talisman given by Liu Yu and the intentional protection arrangements that she has been safe and sound so far.

Otherwise, with her little strength, if she participates in the mission, Cui Liang may be a lesson learned from the past, which will lead to disaster.

This made Jiang Qiu Shui feel warmer and inexplicably moved in her heart, and she secretly vowed to never leave him.

Even Liu Yu's jealousy over accepting Ying Ge and Yan Wu has mostly dissipated.

Only sometimes when I see the two women, I still get a cold look on my face.

Seeing the charming appearance of the female cultivator in front of her, Liu Yu couldn't help but reach out and hug her into her arms, wanting to warm her up first.

"Giggle~"

Jiang Qiushui smiled softly, and then lay on his chest obediently.

After some tenderness, with the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms and the delicate fragrance lingering in his nose, Liu Yu started talking to him about business.

Two quarters of an hour later, all details were discussed on how to stabilize Yongtaifang City and the surrounding areas, and how to replenish the number of monks in the team.

At Liu Yu's signal, Jiang Qiushui reluctantly left the embrace and walked out of the cave.
