Immortal Palace Longevity

Because there were too few monks at his disposal, Liu Yu gave the order a few days ago and asked Ji Ruyan to take care of this matter.

As for the Golden Elixir Ceremony, Jiang Qiushui was mainly responsible.

Qingyang Peak is about 500 feet high and has a third-level mid-grade spiritual vein. The spiritual energy is so rich that it requires little treatment and has dozens of acres of spiritual land.

If we work hard, it will be easy to open up a hundred acres of spiritual land.

Even if you want to build a third-level elixir garden, it is not impossible.

However, the speed of earning spiritual stones through normal operation of Lingshan is still too slow. Now Liu Yu needs a lot of spiritual stones, so he really doesn't take it seriously.

But it seems too suspicious to leave a third-level spiritual mountain without taking care of it, and to collect spiritual stones while sitting there without even managing it.

Therefore, it is still necessary to cover up.

The reason why Liu Yu wanted to choose some maids was not just for his own convenience, but also for the purpose of taking care of Lingshan.

"Since everything has been arranged, let's arrange the interview for tomorrow."

He nodded and said calmly.

He was not surprised that so many monks wanted to join Qingyang Peak.

With his current status, he has already joined the privileged class of the sect. If he wants to promote an outer disciple to an inner disciple, he only needs to pass on one sentence.

But just this simple sentence is an opportunity that countless monks can't get.

A great opportunity is in front of you, and the threshold for pursuing it is not high. Who wouldn’t want to give it a try? !

Taking a step back, the task of taking care of Qingyang Peak is much easier than the normal sect tasks, which can free up more time for cultivation.

Even if he cannot gain the favor of his master, as long as he can stay in Qingyang Peak, he can still change his situation.

"Yes, husband, Ruyan understands."

Ji Ruyan nodded obediently.

"Okay, Ruyan, you go down first."

Liu Yu nodded lightly and signaled Ji Ruyan to step back, leaving Jiang Qiushui alone in the cave.

Soon, only two people were left in the cave.

Perhaps because he was reprimanded for making a mistake, Jiang Qiushui was very well-behaved at this time, quietly lowering his head and not saying a word, with a kind of quiet beauty.

At any other time when the two of them were alone, they would have moved to another sitting place.

Liu Yu secretly smiled in her heart, but she was not ready to comfort her, even if she was his own woman, she would not do it if she was too doted on.

You still have to knock when you need to, otherwise it will be easy to break the rules.

After thinking for a while, he took off the seven storage bags around his waist, placed them one by one on the table and said:

"There are some resources here. They need to be sold and exchanged for spiritual stones. I'll leave them to you, Qiu Shui."

These are the gains from the trip to the Holy Fire Secret Realm. After excluding the best magic weapons and high-grade spiritual weapons again, the value is about 130,000 spiritual stones.

The unused gifts are worth about 150,000 spirit stones.

Now that I have advanced to the golden elixir realm and am extremely short of spiritual stones, it is time to sell these.

As for the best magic weapons and top-grade spiritual weapons, Liu Yu has other uses.

Moreover, magic weapons and spiritual weapons are often the signature and symbol of a monk. If they are sold directly, they may expose themselves as the biggest beneficiary of the Holy Fire Secret Realm.

It's about Lingbao, so it's better not to take this kind of risk.

Even if it was the two top-quality spiritual weapons that were given to Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan on credit, Liu Yu also told the two women not to use them unless absolutely necessary.

However, since the two girls have been staying in the sect, they really don't have many opportunities to use it.

Hearing this, Jiang Qiushui's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the seven storage bags on the desk:

"Yes, husband."

"Qiu Shui will definitely not let you down."

Liu Yu was also willing to arrange things for her to do, proving that the previous mistakes were over, so why was she unhappy?

Afterwards, the two sat opposite each other and chatted for a while about the ending of the ceremony.

"If there is nothing else, let's go down first."

"These resources must be replaced with spiritual stones as soon as possible."

"As before, this matter must be kept as secret as possible."

After chatting for half an hour, Liu Yu finally said this.

"Qiu Shui understands."

Jiang Qiushui nodded lightly.

She has always been doing these things, and she has already set up special channels, so she can do them with ease.

But the next moment, when the woman picked up one of the storage items and glanced inside with her consciousness, shock flashed through her beautiful eyes.

Twenty thousand spirit stones!

With Jiang Qiushui's eyes, he could roughly judge the value of the resources with just a brief glance of his consciousness.

Because she has been exposed to these things for a long time, she knows the market very well, so her estimation is more accurate than Liu Yu's.

"One storage bag has 20,000 resources, so seven storage bags, doesn't it mean..."

"Where did your husband get so many resources?!"

Jiang Qiushui couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart and looked up at Liu Yu, with a questioning look in her eyes.

Even though the two have known each other for so long, sometimes she still feels that there is something mysterious about the person in front of her.

Unfortunately, Liu Yu had no intention of answering. At this time, he had already taken out the third layer of the "Mystical Method of Preserving God" written in the book and began to study it seriously.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining or making any other moves, Jiang Qiushui bit her lip and had no choice but to stand up and leave the attic.

Some things will be explained, and some things will not be explained from beginning to end. She is used to it.

Today's practice has been completed. After Jiang Qiushui left, Liu Yu did not do anything else, but just concentrated on comprehending the "Wonderful Method of Preserving the Spirit".

Strive to comprehend the third level as soon as possible, and then start practicing.

"Wonderful Method of Preserving the Spirit" has five levels, each of which has a unique secret technique of spiritual consciousness, which can often play a miraculous effect at critical moments.

The first level is "Shock the Soul", and the second level is "Soul-Breaking Soul-Searching Technique".

The third level is "Glass Bewitching Heart Technique", which is the secret technique to influence and control other cultivators. It can forcibly change the thoughts and even personalities of some cultivators, making them completely become puppets controlled by themselves.

"Glass Bewitching Heart Technique" has almost no effect on cultivators of the same level, but if it is used on low-level cultivators, the effect is very powerful.

Especially for cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, there is almost no possibility of getting rid of the influence, and the effect is more powerful than the most professional brainwashing.

Although it cannot directly increase strength, it has a miraculous effect on the development of power.

Liu Yu can completely control some Qi-refining cultivators with this technique, and then use the Yuanshen prohibition to control them double-time, and then spend resources to train them to the foundation-building stage.

In this way, he will get a group of subordinates who are completely loyal to him and can do anything for him.

The reason why he first thought of training death warriors was because of the "Liuli Bewitching Heart Technique".

However, this secret technique also has its flaws, that is, it forcibly changes a person's personality, making a person's "self" no longer complete, and the probability of condensing a golden elixir is much lower than that of a normal cultivator.

However, the cost of training a golden elixir cultivator is too high, and Liu Yu's own resources are not enough at present, so he does not have this idea.

Having a group of foundation-building death warriors as minions to do some things that are inconvenient for him to do is enough for now.

…

…

The second day.

Qingyang Peak, the cave hall.

"Husband, two hundred female disciples are already waiting outside, all of whom want to join Qingyang Peak."

"Should we let them in now?"

Ji Ruyan reported.

Although she was smiling while selecting maids for her husband, she still felt a little jealous.

Ever since Liu Yu started to cultivate his body, she could not bear the grace, but she had no intention of sharing it with others.

So, in order to prevent some vixen from seducing her husband to take the position, Ji Ruyan secretly eliminated some female disciples who looked seductive.

For example, a female cultivator with particularly tall peaks.

"Well, let them in."

Hearing this, Liu Yu also became interested and put down the book in his hand and said lightly.

Ji Ruyan responded and used the sound magic to call out to the door.

Soon, the figures of female disciples appeared one by one, twisting their graceful figures and entering one after another.

Although Ji Ruyan was jealous, she did not dare to choose ugly female cultivators to come to Qingyang Peak as maids, but just suppressed some potential opponents who felt threatened.

Therefore, the appearance of the two hundred female disciples was generally very good.

It's just that women are naturally good at acting. When they saw that it was the concubine of Master Qingyang who was responsible for the preliminary selection, many clever female cultivators had already disguised themselves.

They were ordinary during the selection, but now they are really flashy.

"Humph."

Ji Ruyan snorted coldly when she saw this, but she could do nothing about it. After all, she couldn't make it too obvious.

Although they were all wearing gray and white robes of the inner and outer sects, they were carefully dressed up, and each female cultivator had his own merits and looked pleasing to the eye.

At this time, they stepped over the threshold and entered the hall, and the hall was instantly filled with various fragrances.

Fresh, enchanting, vulgar, elegant...

I don't know if it's really body fragrance, or the cosmetics are marinated.

"Not bad."

Liu Yu looked expressionless and serious, with an appreciative attitude, looking at the female cultivator who entered the hall, and secretly praised in his heart.

.

However, appreciation is appreciation. As an elder of the sect, he must pay attention to his manners, so his expressionless face can't show his joy or anger.

The old ancestor Tianfeng is like a dragon that can only be seen from head to tail. The Jindan elder is already a high-ranking member of the Yuanyang Sect, and many Qi Refining disciples have only seen him a few times in their lives.

So when a Jindan elder really appeared before their eyes, most of the disciples were still quite nervous and restrained. They lowered their heads and walked into the hall in small steps, not daring to look up at Liu Yu.

However, there were a few extremely "bold" female disciples who even took advantage of the gap to secretly send a glance, with spring feelings flashing between their eyebrows.

For these, Liu Yu had no ripples in his heart.

He was not obsessed with women, and there was no shortage of women around him.

Yesterday, he discussed the Yin-Yang Avenue with Yan Hongyu, and the accumulated anger had disappeared.

At this time, no matter how you look, no matter how charming you are, in the state of being like a saint or a Buddha, that's it.

Although Liu Yu didn't say anything on the spot about these bold female disciples, he had already eliminated them in his heart.

Ahem, he was mainly looking for maids, not picking women through the draft.

Now he dared to be so bold, wouldn't there be no peace in the backyard after joining Qingyang Peak?

"Disciples pay homage to Grandmaster Qingyang!"

Not long after, two hundred female disciples lined up in the hall, chatting and chatting.

Liu Yu looked at them for a while and then retracted his gaze. He raised his hand to let the disciples stand up, and then signaled to Ji Ruyan that the process officially began.

Ji Ruyan nodded slightly, looked at the two hundred female disciples, said some polite words, and then explained the basic rules of this selection, and finally announced the official start of the selection.

Of course, the final decision-making power still lies in Liu Yu's hands.

"Disciple Han Xinlian, four spiritual roots, dabbling in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, good at..."

At Ji Ruyan's command, a beautiful female disciple stood up, bowed to Liu Yu again, and began to introduce her specialties.

It was just a selection of maids, of course it was impossible to show talents like a talent show with dancing.

There were two hundred people who needed to be interviewed. If every female disciple showed her talent, I'm afraid one day would not be enough.

Liu Yu didn't have that much time to waste, so they could only use the simplest language to introduce their specialties and advantages.

Only when he named them, the corresponding female disciples would have the opportunity to show themselves.

Even if they missed a good seedling, there was no regret at all. As a Jindan elder, as long as he gave an order, there would be a lot of female cultivators who wanted to cling to him.

"Disciple Wen Caiyi, Wood and Water have three spiritual roots, are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have some knowledge of spiritual plants."

"I once learned to make pills. Although I failed to become an alchemist, I am still good at taking care of some spiritual fields and spiritual herbs."

"I will never make mistakes in taking care of spiritual fields."

"If Grandmaster Qingyang chooses me, I will never let you down."

A female cultivator with a simple wooden hairpin in her hair, an oval face, simple makeup, and a dignified appearance, introduced herself after paying her respects.

Unlike other female cultivators, her tone was not humble, which was a bit different.

"Oh?!"

Liu Yu was a little interested.

In his eyes, three spiritual roots are indeed a plus.

After all, if it is a double spiritual root, most people would not look down on the position of a maid, and the position of a disciple is almost the same.

Moreover, the spiritual fields of Qingyang Peak just need people to take care of them, and being proficient in some knowledge of taking care of spiritual fields and taking care of spiritual herbs is also a plus.

"I'm asking you, what kind of environment is suitable for Qingling grass to grow?"

"How many days should I use the Cloud and Rain Technique, and how many days should I loosen the spiritual soil?"

Liu Yu asked.

He wanted to see if this disciple named "Wen Caiyi" was really talented or just pretending to attract his attention.

Woman, you have successfully attracted my attention.

"Master, I think Qingling grass likes shade, and it is best to put it in a place where the sun can't shine directly."

"Because it needs more water, it should be planted in a place with more water."

"As for how many days to use the Cloud and Rain Technique, I think it is best to use it twice in seven days, with a three-day interval between each time."

"Because..."

After thinking for a while, Wen Caiyi gave the answer in a clear and orderly manner. Facing the question of the Jindan Patriarch, there was no obvious panic in her tone.

Just the whitened knuckles clenched together still exposed the tension in the woman's heart.

"Not bad."

"More than 70% correct, you go to the side and wait for the result."

Liu Yu nodded slightly, revealing a smile and said. She had already made the decision that she had passed.

"Yes, Master Qingyang!"

Being favored by the elders of the sect, Wen Caiyi's tone still showed a hint of surprise, and she quickly agreed.

Then, she left the group and walked to the side to wait under the jealous eyes of many female cultivators.

Obviously, this woman had passed.

"Disciple Long Zhenyi, four spiritual roots..."

Soon, another female disciple stood out and began to introduce her strengths and advantages.

...

Interviewing two hundred female disciples, even if each one only took a little time, it took a full five hours to let all the female disciples introduce themselves.

"How many maids should be recruited this time?"

"One hundred?"

"Fifty?"

While interviewing, Liu Yu was also thinking about this question.

The Jindan elders have various privileges. In addition to being able to directly receive a magic weapon and a storage ring when they have just successfully formed a pill, they also have a benefit of one thousand spirit stones every year.

In addition, if you choose to practice in Lingshan, there is a certain amount of free disciples.

It doesn't mean that these disciples have no rewards, and the rewards of these disciples are all paid by the sect.

The gains from operating Lingshan belong entirely to the Jindan elders.

In this way, the burden of cultivation on the Jindan elders is reduced, and they don't have to be distracted by trivial matters.

According to the calculation of cultivation, the free quota provided by each small realm sect is different.

There are 30 places for the early stage of Jindan, 50 places for the middle stage, and 80 places for the late stage.

Compared with the Jindan of independent cultivators and the Jindan of small and medium forces, the welfare of Jindan cultivators in large sects is much better.

Even if you don't take risks, just operate Lingshan and practice step by step, you can basically meet the minimum cultivation resources.

Of course, this is the treatment that only the Jindan of the sect with a good family background can enjoy.

The treatment of the guest officials who joined in the middle is several times worse.

While interviewing and thinking, five hours later, Liu Yu gradually made a decision in his heart.

At that moment, he moved his lips to transmit his consciousness and told Ji Ruyan his decision.

Ji Ruyan nodded, took out a list and wrote down thirty names, then announced in public:

"Wen Caiyi, Li Sisi, Fang Yishuang..."

"The thirty disciples whose names are read above can join Qingyang Peak and become maids under the ancestor."

"You go back and think about it carefully. It's not too late to regret now. If there are no other opinions, report to Qingyang Peak in three days."

"In addition, Wen Caiyi is the head maid, responsible for coordinating and arranging the daily work of the maids."

Ji Ruyan's calm voice spread throughout the hall, causing an uproar immediately.

"Master, can you give me another chance? I am willing to do anything."

"Master, can you consider me again? I am willing..."

Some people still couldn't see the situation clearly, and some even knelt down to beg.

Liu Yu frowned when he saw this, but he was indifferent and didn't have the slightest intention of being soft-hearted.

He didn't say anything but just looked at Ji Ruyan, wanting to see how this woman would deal with this situation.

"How dare you!"

"How dare the elder be so presumptuous in front of me!"

"Since it is extenuating, I will spare you this time. Leave Qingyang Peak immediately, otherwise I will punish you severely!"

While scolding loudly, Ji Ruyan released the spiritual pressure of the middle stage of foundation building, covering the entire hall, especially oppressing several disciples who lost their composure.

As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately became quiet.

Most of the female disciples who were not selected maintained their rationality and bowed, then quietly left the hall.

As for the several disciples with good looks and bold behavior, they couldn't accept the huge gap of not being selected and lost their composure, but they also sobered up under the strong spiritual pressure.

Facing the reality, she left the hall unwillingly.

In the hall, only Wen Caiyi, Li Sisi and other thirty maids were left.

"It seems that after these years of experience, the female cultivator who was like a girl next door has grown up."

Seeing Ji Ruyan's orderly command, Liu Yu sighed secretly.

After a few simple words of training, he handed these maids over to Ji Ruyan for arrangement, and he walked out of the cave.

Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan told the thirty maids about the rules and etiquette of Qingyang Peak, so they didn't need to worry about it.

——————————————

PS: According to the suggestions of fellow Taoists, some modifications have been made to the previous article.

Jiang Qiushui's cultivation is still in the late stage of foundation building, while Ji Ruyan has changed to the middle stage of foundation building, which is more reasonable.
