Immortal Palace Longevity

ps: The name of the Ruined Sword was given in the previous chapter, and I copied it for this chapter. Fellow Daoists can look back.

——————————————

After the words fell, the spiritual treasure in his hand still looked ordinary, without any reaction.

Liu Yu knew that this was because he had not been recognized.

Because of his special status, Tang Tianbao had an innate causal connection with the sword, so he could be easily recognized as the master of the spiritual treasure at the foundation-building stage.

But I don't have that kind of opportunity.

Even if Tang Tianbao personally handed the sword to me, it would still be a long way to go for him to get the recognition of the "Sword Spirit" or even recognize him as the master.

"But the spiritual treasure is already in my hand, so this matter can be considered in the long run."

"Can feelings be cultivated slowly?!"

Liu Yu smiled slightly.

Thinking of this, he moved his mind and put the Ruined Sword into the storage bag.

"......"

But after a long time, the sword was motionless and lay quietly in his hand.

Liu Yu now understood why Zhou Ziwen and Tang Tianbao both took the sword in their hands instead of putting it in the storage bag.

Because of the special nature of the spiritual treasure, it is a dead object to some extent, but it has a spirit, which can be regarded as a special life.

If the spirit resists entering the storage bag, then it cannot be forcibly put into the storage bag.

Liu Yu thought about it for a while, and soon understood the reason, and did not intend to force it.

Anyway, the Ruined Sword is a divine object that is hidden by itself, and even if the Yuanying Zhenjun is in front of it, it is almost impossible to detect the abnormality.

As he hung the Ruined Sword diagonally on his waist, he turned and walked towards the place where the black banner magic weapon fell.

Soon, Liu Yu took the black bone Zhenren's black banner magic weapon in his hand and looked at it carefully.

There were several large holes on the banner at this time.

Under the earth-shattering blow of the Ruined Sword, it was obvious that even if it was not the main target of attack, this treasure was also seriously injured.

But the power contained in it is still terrifying, far exceeding the foundation-building level and the best spiritual tools.

Under the sunlight, the black banner magic weapon exudes wisps of black gas, and there is a faint roar of evil spirits in it. It is an out-and-out magic weapon.

"Not bad."

Liu Yu looked at it for a while and put it into the storage bag with satisfaction.

He doesn't care whether the magic weapon is magic or not, as long as it can increase strength.

He still plans to refine his own life magic weapon after the formation of the pill.

After all, a mere foundation-building cultivator dares to collect materials for refining magic weapons, which is tantamount to having the word fat sheep written on his head, and he may be targeted by some Jindan cultivator.

Liu Yu thought again and again, and according to his usual cautious character, he still planned to wait until the formation of the pill before refining.

In that way, there is no need to be sneaky, and it is safer.

And this black banner magic weapon just fills the "vacuum period" of strength after the formation of the pill.

The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth within a range of dozens of miles was controlled. The fight just now was very loud. He quickly cleaned up the battlefield and cleared the traces of his presence.

Liu Yu did not hesitate to use his magic power. He took out the top-grade spiritual weapon Molten Fire Knife and turned it into a red escape light and soared into the sky.

With his magic power fully activated, his current escape speed steadily entered a thousand miles per hour.

In a few blinks of an eye, the red escape light disappeared into the horizon.

At the original place, the traces left by Tang Tianbao were quickly blown away and buried by the wind and sand.

Even the huge gully cut by the Ruined Sword was gradually filled up.

Perhaps in a month, or perhaps half a year or a year, this place will return to its original appearance, and no traces of the fight will be seen.

…

…

Under the setting sun, a red escape light came from far away and came from the sky.

Looking closely, it was actually a red flying knife, and a burly figure stood on it.

This person had black hair and a black robe, his pupils were as black as ink, and he flashed with the luster of rationality.

It was Liu Yu!

Originally, the trip to the secret realm was very fruitful. Not only did he get the Sanyuan Fruit, but he also got the Ruined Sword. Liu Yu left Xisha as soon as possible and returned to the sect.

After all, all the cultivators from Tianyi Sect and Tianmo Sect who entered the secret realm were annihilated, especially the Tianmo Sect, which lost a late Jindan cultivator. It was inevitable that they would be angry and frantically hunt down the cultivators of the Holy Fire Sect.

But Liu Yu didn't know why, when he was passing through Xisha Market and was about to leave Xisha, his escape light suddenly turned and flew towards the market.

Maybe it was because of the previous promise, or maybe it was because of the Ruined Sword.

"Just go in and inform the cultivators of the Holy Fire Sect, and tell those believers that Tang Tianbao, Uncle Yang and others have died, and they may face the news of being hunted down by Tianyi Sect and Tianmo Sect."

After a little hesitation, Liu Yu made a decision.

This time, the core believers of the Holy Fire Sect were annihilated. Although there were still a dozen foundation-building cultivators, if they were unprepared, they would probably be annihilated by the pursuit of the three sects.

After all, this is a different time. Since the death of Master Shi, the people of the Holy Fire Sect have indeed been in a panic.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and a hint of green gradually appeared in the distance, and Xishafang City was in sight.

Perhaps because Xishafang City is far away, it has not been affected by the trip to the secret realm for the time being, and everything is no different from the past.

After leaving the secret realm, Liu Yu avoided the gathering place of immortal cultivators all the way, so he didn't know whether Tianyi Sect and Tianmo Sect had started to act.

But seeing the scene of people coming and going on the street, he was still relieved.

On the street, all kinds of monks walked, and the sounds of various hawking could be heard. The number of monks from the two sects did not increase.

Without staying too much, Liu Yu went straight to the Holy Fire Sect's stronghold in Xishafang City, the same restaurant where Tang Tianbao entertained him previously.

After being a high-ranking guest minister for a year, he finally understood some of the secrets of the Holy Fire Cult, and could understand all the secret codes.

"Squeak"

In the secret room of the restaurant, as the door opened, the figure of a female cultivator came into Liu Yu's sight.

This woman has a classy appearance, with a circle of light red eyeshadow around her eyes, and her skin is as healthy as wheat.

A black tight-fitting long dress perfectly reflects the graceful figure and has a unique style.

"Fellow Daoist Hong."

"My Taoist friend is a rare visitor, and his residence is simple and humble. I apologize for any lack of hospitality."

The female cultivator cupped her hands and said generously.

Liu Yu's status as a second-level alchemist is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary foundation-building monks, so this woman is very polite.

"Purple Heart Fairy is joking."

"It doesn't matter, Hong is not a person who is greedy for pleasure."

Liu Yu stood up and returned the greeting.

The female cultivator in front of her is named Zi Xin, her cultivation is in the middle stage of foundation building, and she is Zi Shan's biological sister.

The foundation-building monks of the Holy Fire Sect said more or less. There were about thirty real members, and he had seen most of them.

Following the etiquette and greetings as usual, Liu Yu suddenly stopped smiling and looked straight:

"Hong came here this time because he has something very important to inform Fairy Zixin."

"It's a matter of life and death for the Holy Religion."

His tone was extremely solemn, and he stared at the other person without blinking, without any intention of joking.

Seeing Liu Yu's demeanor and tone, Zi Xin also realized the seriousness of the matter. She poured the spirit tea in her hand and said:

"Fellow Daoist Hong, please speak. Zixin is all ears."

"..." Liu Yu opened her lips, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

He suddenly realized a problem. After Shi Zhenren's death, the people within the Holy Fire Sect had become unstable.

If the news of the death of Tang Tianbao and other core members is revealed, I am afraid that the Holy Fire Sect will fall apart without the three sects pursuing them.

Considering the current situation of the Holy Fire Cult, Liu Yu decided to fabricate a lie.

A white lie.

"A few days ago, Hong, together with the Holy Son, Protector Yang, Protector Zhou and other seven people, went on a very important mission."

"But when carrying out this mission, I accidentally offended the monks of Tianyi Sect and Tianmo Sect. In order to complete the mission, I had to kill the monks of the two sects."

"But the news still got out."

"Next, I am afraid that the Holy Cult will not only face the suppression of Shenshamen, but also face the pursuit of Tianyi Sect and Tianmo Sect."

"In this critical situation, the activities of the Holy Religion must be more concealed. We would rather give up some of our interests than expose our identity."

"Otherwise, we may be in danger of destruction."

"The Holy Son and others have been hidden. Due to some special reasons, they cannot show up for the time being."

"Hong was sent here just to inform all of our comrades."

"Purple Heart Fairy, the situation has become extremely urgent. I hope you will inform other colleagues immediately to hide more secretly and never reveal your identity."

Liu Yu finished speaking in one breath without any pause.

"this......"

Zi Xin fell into silence after hearing the words. The amount of information in the words was too much, and she had to digest it.

What kind of mission is it that would provoke two major sects?

She sighed in her heart, and then her sister sounded and asked with concern:

"Fellow Daoist Hong, where is the little girl's sister?"

"Nothing unexpected happened, right?"

Hearing this, the unnatural look on Liu Yu's face flashed away.

Zishan died in his arms and had nothing to do with him, but she obviously couldn't tell the truth.

"The Purple Shirt Fairy is staying with the Holy Son now and is not seriously ill at the moment."

Liu Yu said a few words vaguely, and then said:

"Fairy, please see, in order to show the importance of this incident, the Holy Son specially temporarily handed over the Holy Fire Token to Hong."

"Seeing the token is like seeing the saint. I hope the fairy can strictly implement what Hong said just now."

Liu Yu's tone was extremely solemn. After speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a few sips.

Having said this, he has done his utmost to be benevolent and righteous. If the members of the Holy Fire Sect still don't listen, he will have a clear conscience.

"Zi Xin understands and will definitely do what the Holy Son tells him to do."

"It's just that...sigh"

Zixin sighed and fell into silence again.

Saying it is one thing, but doing it is another.

If she wants to hide better, she must give up some easily exposed properties. Her stronghold is not easy, and this makes it even worse.

The other base building hall master's strongholds are not much better.

However, the order of the Holy Son is the golden rule. Liu Yu brought the Holy Fire Order to convey the order, and Zi Xin did not think twice about violating it.

"In that case, let the fairy do it immediately."

"The situation is extremely urgent and it is best not to delay any further, otherwise the losses will be unbearable."

"Hong has to rush to return his life to the Holy Son, so he won't stop again."

"Farewell!"

After saying that, Liu Yu put down the teacup, stood up, and walked out the door.

"Squeak"

After opening the door and taking half a step forward, he paused, turned around and said:

"Remember, you must not expose yourself without seeing the Holy Fire Order."

Without waiting for Zi Xin to answer, Liu Yu left the restaurant without hesitation.

His expression was normal, as if nothing had happened. He passed by all kinds of cultivators, and walked straight out of the market without any attachment to the Xisha land.

After leaving the Xisha market, Liu Yu took out the Shield Wind Boat and turned into a black escape light and soared into the sky.

Soon, it disappeared into the sky.

More than a dozen hours later, the escape light officially left the scope of the Xisha land and entered the territory of other countries in the Seven Nations Alliance.

Liu Yu removed his disguise, restored his original appearance, and fled directly to the nearest large fairy city.

He planned to take the teleportation array and teleport directly back to the sect.

…

Yuanyang Sect, Qingtai Peak.

“Buzz”

A slight vibration sounded, and the milky white spiritual light of the teleportation array lit up, gradually reaching its brightest level.

In a burst of dazzling light, a figure suddenly appeared.

It was Liu Yu!

"Brother Qingyang"

"Uncle Qingyang"

Recognizing the identity of the visitor, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining disciples in the Teleportation Hall saluted Liu Yu.

"Hmm."

Liu Yu made a faint nasal sound as a response, and walked out of the teleportation array and walked out of the hall.

As the number of rides increased and his body became stronger, he would hardly feel any discomfort when riding a short-distance teleportation array.

"Is this Uncle Qingyangzi?"

"He looks so young, not much older than me."

Looking at Liu Yu's tall back, a new female inner disciple asked curiously.

"Be careful with your words."

Next to him, the old inner disciple frowned and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

He admired Uncle Qingyangzi's tough style very much. He was tough with any hostile cultivators or sects, and greatly increased the prestige of the sect in the battle of Yan State.

Seeing that his fellow sister did not seem to respect Uncle Qingyangzi enough, he was immediately a little unhappy.

"Don't be fooled by Uncle Qingyangzi's young appearance. He is actually over eighty years old."

"When Uncle Qingyangzi sacrificed his life for the sect, you hadn't entered yet. I wonder where you were practicing."

The old disciple looked a little contemptuous when he said this.

Then he said:

"Even though he is over eighty years old, Uncle Qingyangzi is still very young compared to the long life span of the foundation-building period."

"Uncle Qingyangzi has only practiced for seventy years, but he has already reached the late stage of foundation-building. He is really a role model for our generation."

"Maybe I'll call him "Grandmaster" next time I see him."

After saying that, the old man bowed in the direction where Liu Yu disappeared.

That's right, during the war with Yan State, this person was a Qi-refining cultivator under Liu Yu, and he also got a lot of benefits.

It's just that many years have passed, and Liu Yu didn't think about it specifically, so he had no impression of this inner disciple.

"Hmph!"

The female disciple snorted and turned her head away with some dissatisfaction.

I had some feelings for the old disciple, so I took the same task and wanted to get in touch with him. Now I completely gave up my previous idea.

"Heh."

The old disciple sneered, turned his head away, and stopped talking.

This female cultivator not only chattered and disturbed people's peace, but also often made unreasonable troubles.

The most important thing is that he was not interested in her because she did not respect Uncle Qingyangzi!

...

Liu Yu didn't know that a pair of cultivators who could have become Taoist companions quarreled because of his own reasons, and many twists and turns came out of thin air.

After leaving the teleportation hall, he drove the escape wind boat and flew directly to Tongtian Peak.

The reason why he didn't return directly to the Yunxia Mountain Cave Mansion was because he had to pay homage to his cheap master and tell him that he was back.

The ancients said: Don't travel far away when your parents are still there.

A large sect like Yuanyang Sect still attaches great importance to etiquette and rules, and the hierarchy of superiors and subordinates.

According to etiquette, if a disciple wants to travel, he should report to his master.

Only with the master's consent can you go out to travel.

If the disciple is very much loved by the master, maybe before leaving, he will give several self-defense methods for self-defense.

Similarly, when the disciple returns from traveling, he must report to the master.

Of course, these are not the rules of the sect, but just the rules that have been agreed upon, and they do not have to be followed.

But Liu Yu still chose to abide by them. Since he has definitely developed in the sect for a long time, the relationship with the cheap master must be well maintained.

After continuous improvement over the years, the relationship between the master and the disciple has become closer. Li Changkong even intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he wanted to accept him as a true disciple to inherit his mantle.

Liu Yu was of course unwilling in his heart, and pretended to be ignorant several times to get by.

Before leaving, the cheap master also symbolically gave a few second-level defense talismans as a means of self-defense when going out to travel.

"Swoosh"

The Escape Wind Boat flew at a high speed, making a strong sound of breaking through the air.

Soon after, the outline of Tongtian Peak, which was like a jade pillar supporting the sky, came into view.

Liu Yu landed at the Zhenyang Dojo, waved his hand to put the Escape Wind Boat into the storage bag, and then walked slowly up the mountain.

After a series of battles, witnessing the power of the spiritual treasure to destroy the world, and the strength of the late Jindan, his mind has been tense.

Now that he has returned to the sect, he can finally relax.

Although more than a year is indeed too short for a foundation-building cultivator to travel, the key lies in the effect rather than the time.

Look, his cultivation level has obviously improved a lot, and it seems that he is not far from the peak of foundation-building.

Liu Yu had also tried along the way to see if the Broken Sword could be brought into the Immortal Mansion, but perhaps because of the sword's resistance, it ultimately failed.

Following the neat steps in the mountain, passing through various palaces and pavilions, we soon arrived at Master Cave Mansion on the mountainside.

Liu Yu activated a transmission note and stated that she came to see the master, and soon a servant came to greet him.

It just so happened that the cheap master neither retreated nor went out.

"Disciple Qingyang, pay homage to Master!"

"This disciple is traveling abroad, which makes Master worried."

"Now that I have returned to the sect, I came here to pay my respects."

In the hall, Liu Yu bowed down to salute, then lowered his head and said respectfully.

"Not bad."

"I will be relieved that you can return to the clan safely."

"Did you gain anything from this trip?"

Li Changkong nodded gently, touched his beard and said.

At this time, he looked kind and kind, as if he was really an elder caring for his younger generation.

"Returning to Master, although the time of this trip is short, the disciple did get some opportunities by coincidence, and his cultivation has improved a lot."

"I felt that I was not far from the peak of foundation building, so I ended my travels and returned to the sect."

"This disciple plans to work hard to reach the peak level and then prepare to hit the bottleneck of pill formation."

Liu Yu handed over his hand again and immediately replied, revealing that he had gotten a "little chance".

"very good."

Li Changkong smiled with a smile on his face and praised him twice. He was extremely satisfied with this registered disciple, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

When Liu Yu was accepted as a registered disciple, it was because of the Yan family's face.

But as time went by, this named disciple got out of hand and gradually stood out from his peers.

Not only is his alchemy attainment becoming more and more extraordinary, but his cultivation level is also improving rapidly, and he has also become the true successor of the sect.

More importantly, he has always "respected his teachers" and got along very harmoniously with his brothers.

Now, at a young age, his cultivation is close to the peak of foundation building.

Even if the qualifications are a little inferior, with the advantages in other aspects, the possibility of successful pill formation is still very considerable.

With this thought flashing through his mind, Li Changkong felt more and more that this named disciple was a man worth cultivating, unlike some stubborn stones.

In the future, if Liu Yu succeeds in forming the elixir, he and Li Buyu will be able to help each other, further increasing the Li family's influence in the sect.

"It's a pity that Qingyang doesn't want to become a direct descendant, and his relationship with the Li family is further bound."

Thinking of this, Li Changkong felt a little regretful, but he still smiled and said:

"Qingyang, you are able to reach this stage with your ordinary qualifications of three spiritual roots. You have surpassed 80% of your peers. I am very pleased as a teacher."

"However, remember not to be arrogant because of this!"

"The most important thing in cultivating immortality is perseverance."

"A moment of slackness may make all the previous persistence go to waste, especially in the critical period of the later stage of foundation building."

"I don't know how many so-called geniuses I have seen. They were astonished at the beginning and succeeded in building a foundation at a young age, but..."

He first gave some praise, and then gave some meaningful warnings. He told stories about the fall of geniuses, which seemed to be somewhat serious.

"Master's words today, disciples must keep them in mind and be vigilant at all times."

After Master Jianyi finished speaking, Liu Yu responded dryly.

The other party was suddenly too enthusiastic, which made him uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to promise.

"Um."

After talking for half a quarter of an hour, after a while of being a teacher, and seeing that Liu Yu was not impatient at all, Li Changkong stopped and nodded with satisfaction.

"Now you are only half a step away from the peak of foundation building. It is indeed time to prepare for the condensation of golden elixir."

"This is all the experience I recorded when I hit the bottleneck of elixir formation in my early years. Later, when I reached the middle stage of elixir cultivation, I added some insights into it."

"You can take a look at it for reference, but you must not copy it completely."

As he spoke, Li Changkong took out a jade slip and looked at Liu Yu.

"Thank you Master!"

As a result, the jade slip was put into the storage bag, and Liu Yu bowed again.

This worship is sincere. After all, this unedited experience of forming the elixir records the entire process of a monk's attack on the golden elixir, which has a high reference value.

After becoming a true disciple, although the sect will provide you with experience in forming the elixir when you hit the golden elixir bottleneck, it is obviously not as good as this uncut version.

"Although your senior sister successfully formed the elixir, she has become a golden elixir cultivator."

"But after all, we are brothers and sisters of the same sect. You still have to move around more. There is no separation between brothers and sisters."

"Qingyang, you should learn a lot from Buyu and follow her example."

Li Changkong said meaningfully.

Speaking of Li Buyu, he couldn't help but show a little pride.

"Disciple, obey."

After getting the experience of forming pills, Liu Yu continued to nod, saying that it was not a problem to spend a whole day and a night.

Afterwards, Li Changkong gave some pointers on some cultivation issues, and after about a quarter of an hour, he waved Liu Yu to leave.
