Immortal Palace Longevity

“Buzz”

Lines lit up, the teleportation array vibrated slightly, and the spiritual light quickly became stronger.

In a dazzling light, a figure suddenly appeared in the teleportation array.

This person was dressed in a black robe, his pupils were as black as ink, his figure was burly, and his temperament was masculine.

But his face was a little pale, as if he was seriously injured.

It was Liu Yu!

“Meeting Master Qingyang”

The disciple guarding the teleportation array bowed and saluted immediately when he saw the Jindan elder appear.

And the next moment, the disciples of the entire teleportation hall were alarmed and immediately stepped forward to pay their respects without daring to neglect.

For a while, the sound of paying respects was endless.

“A familiar sect.”

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Liu Yu sighed slightly, and his thoughts were all over his mind.

Having dealt with monsters for too long, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of intimacy when he returned to the sect far away from the war.

The tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.

"Yeah."

Facing the disciples in the hall, Liu Yu nodded calmly, and then walked out of the hall directly, disappointing many disciples who dreamed of ascending to heaven in one step.

After leaving the teleportation hall, a beam of light quickly rose from Qingtai Peak and flew towards Tongtian Peak.

Since he had returned to the sect, he should explain the situation to the elders anyway.

As for the mission, it should be considered a failure, but Liu Yu had a clear conscience, after all, he had tried his best.

The difference in strength between the enemy and us was huge. If it were an ordinary Jindan cultivator, the city might be destroyed and people would die.

After two years of perseverance, he had fulfilled his obligations.

…

Qingtai Peak was not far from Tongtian Peak. In just a quarter of an hour, the sacred mountain like Qingtian Jade came into view.

This time, Liu Yu did not need to drop the beam of light and flew straight to the mountainside.

The foundation-building deacon could not fly around Tongtian Peak, but the Jindan elder was an exception. Now that he had been promoted to the Jindan stage, he was naturally no longer restricted by the previous rules.

Along the way, no cultivators blocked them, or the prohibitions were triggered.

Liu Yu looked at the Zhenyang Dojo, and saw only a deserted scene.

Originally, the place where many foundation-building disciples talked about the mysteries of the Tao together was bustling, but now only two or three people could be seen.

With the outbreak of the great beast tide that occurs once every thousands of years, most of the cultivators in the sect were sent out to guard important places in Qingzhou, and even the Jindan elders could not stay out of it.

As a result, the sect naturally seemed much quieter.

During the war, most of the Jindan elders were sent out, and the Tianfeng ancestor appointed Changfeng Zhenren to sit in the sect and preside over the overall situation.

As for the head of the foundation-building period, he only managed the disciples of the Qi Refining period and some miscellaneous affairs of the sect.

Soon, Liu Yu came to the mountainside near the top of the mountain.

Tongtian Peak is a fourth-level spiritual mountain, and the cave closest to the top of the mountain has a richer spiritual energy than the third-level top-grade spiritual mountain.

Pavilions, small pavilions, large lakes...

The cave has a beautiful environment and is full of classical charm. The green waves ripple slightly in the lake. It can be seen that the owner of the cave pays great attention to self-cultivation.

"I am Qingyang, and I have come to visit Senior Brother Changfeng!"

Standing outside the cave, Liu Yu used the sound method to transmit the sound into it.

Soon, a boy came out and respectfully invited him in.

Traveling through pavilions and pavilions, Liu Yu met Li Changfeng in a small pavilion by the lake.

After so many years, this man still has a short beard of two inches, which has not grown longer at all.

This thought suddenly flashed through Liu Yu's mind, but he did not slow down and took the initiative to bow and said:

"Qingyang meets Senior Brother Changfeng."

Although they are both in the Jindan realm, the other party is already at the peak of the Jindan, while he is still in the early stage of the Jindan, so it is better to lower his posture.

"Junior Brother Qingyang is too polite."

"Sit down and talk."

Li Changfeng did not hold back, stood up to return the greeting, and then greeted.

After saying that, he pointed to the seat opposite.

"Junior brother, you are guarding Jin Ge Xian City, why do you return now?"

"Could it be...?"

Li Changfeng asked in confusion, frowning slightly at the end, looking at Liu Yu's pale face, as if he thought of something.

"Yeah."

Liu Yu nodded with a heavy face, and said bluntly:

"Senior brother is right, Jin Ge City has been lost."

"Liu escaped with luck, and I don't know whether the other three Taoist friends are alive or dead."

"I don't know how many of my disciples will survive in the end."

His tone was heavy, as if he was worried about this matter, and he sighed heavily after saying that.

"This is really not good news."

Hearing this, Li Changfeng's face was solemn.

Since the outbreak of the beast tide, in Qingzhou alone within two years, many large and small gathering places for cultivators have been breached, just like a wildfire.

But the significance of Jin Ge Xian City is extraordinary. Once this city is lost, it means that the defense pressure of Qingzhou will be even greater.

The monsters may launch an attack on "New Moon City" at any time.

Once New Moon City cannot be defended, the monsters will sweep in and the situation will immediately fall into disarray.

"The responsibility for this matter is not on Junior Brother Qingyang."

"It's not that the sect doesn't know the importance of Jinge City, but Qingzhou is now in flames and there is really no manpower to go to support."

"You have done your best to hold on for two years. Don't take it to heart now."

"Now is the time to use people. Junior Brother, go back and heal your wounds. You will be needed in the future..."

Li Changfeng did not blame him, but comforted him with kind words and told him the difficulties of the sect.

Facing the great beast tide, even the Yuanying Sect was helpless.

As he said, the three sects were not unaware of the importance of Jinge City, nor were they deliberately delaying support. They were just short of manpower.

There were more than 30 Jindan cultivators in our sect, and even if the Jindan of the affiliated forces were included, there were only 60 to 70 people, but they had to defend such a vast territory. The difficulty can be imagined.

It would be difficult for the three sects to hold on no matter what.

Moreover, this was the vanguard of the beast tide, and the most intense moment had not yet arrived.

The five major sects of Chu State were indeed huge monsters facing ordinary cultivators.

But facing the beast tide, they seemed small and weak.

"Ahem... Liu understands."

Liu Yu nodded gently.

He sighed softly in his heart, feeling somewhat helpless.

Judging from the current situation of the sect, even if he had been on the front line, I am afraid that the time for "recuperation" would not be too long.

Most likely, in a few years, they will have to guard a place with a normal level of danger.

There is no way, who asked Yuanyang Sect to have so few Jindan cultivators in total?

Not only Yuanyang Sect, but the other four sects of Chu State are not much better.

Under the beast tide, even old rivals like Yuanyang Sect and Hehuan Sect have temporarily put aside their prejudices.

Some cities on the border of Qingzhou and Jingzhou are jointly garrisoned by cultivators sent by the two sects.

"I wonder how the Seven Nations Alliance is doing now?"

"When will the alliance's reinforcements arrive?"

"With only our five sects in Chu State, even if we fight to the death, the final result..."

After repeating the situation in Jinge City in detail, Liu Yu asked about the news he was concerned about.

If the reinforcements of the Seven Nations Alliance could arrive earlier, the current situation that is close to corruption may be improved.

"The Alliance..."

Mentioning the Seven Nations Alliance, Li Changfeng's face was a little ugly, but he still told the latest news one by one.

As many small and medium-sized countries were directly destroyed by the beast tide, the Seven Nations Alliance did feel the crisis, and the agenda of sending troops was greatly accelerated.

But as I said, ideological identity cannot be compared with one's own interests.

Many sects far away from the Hengduan Mountains are still arguing over a little detail, ignoring the urgent situation ahead.

"In this case, the situation is already very bad."

"In Liu's opinion, the sect should still prepare for the worst."

Liu Yu nodded and said solemnly.

After becoming a Jindan elder, he has various privileges in the sect, and a lot of spirit stones are credited every year without doing anything.

Through the sect channels, collecting spirit herbs or spirit materials is faster and more convenient.

Naturally, they don't want to see Yuanyang Sect, because the beast tide has seriously damaged its vitality, or even collapsed.

"Brother, don't forget the story of Xuanming Sect."

Liu Yu reminded him at the end.

After becoming an elder, the perspective of looking at things is different from that of ordinary disciples, and you can already participate in the decision-making of the sect.

Therefore, it is not presumptuous for him to say so.

Anyway, it's just talk. In the end, it depends on the decision of the Elder Council. Any proposal of the Jindan elders must be passed by more than half of the Elder Council before it can be implemented.

In this regard, even Li Changfeng, who is the first Jindan in Yuanyang Sect, is no exception.

And Tianfeng Patriarch has a veto power and can make a decision with one word.

"Xuanming Sect!"

When mentioning this name, Li Changfeng's face was extremely solemn.

How powerful was Xuanming Sect back then? There were several Yuanying cultivators in the sect.

It was because of the great beast tide that the five major sects had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and finally ended up being destroyed.

I don't know if the inheritance has been cut off now.

After the reminder, Liu Yu stopped talking, and talked about the recent situation for another half a quarter of an hour, and then said goodbye and left.

It's not easy to cultivate to the Jindan stage. What you can think of, most of the others can think of.

There is no need to say more about this kind of thing, just mention it a little.

"Perhaps when the sect can no longer hold on, it will choose to move to Yuan State."

"I didn't expect that the chaos in Yan State and Nanyu State actually left a way out for the five sects."

"But Tongtian Peak is not easy to move. Even if the fourth-level spiritual vein uses magic to forcibly move to Yuan State, I'm afraid it will also be seriously damaged."

"After moving, it will be good to maintain the fourth-level grade."

After leaving Li Changfeng's cave, Liu Yu flashed all kinds of thoughts in his mind, and then shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it.

At this time, even though he is a Jindan cultivator, the things he can influence are very limited. Thinking too much will only increase troubles.

Thinking about how to be self-sufficient is the most important thing.

As for benefiting the world, it depends on Yuanying Zhenjun and Huashen Shenjun!

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's mana circulated in his body and flew towards Qingyang Peak.

...

A acre of spiritual fields was neatly managed by maids, and it looked lush and beautiful.

When they occasionally meet, the maids will talk about the beast tide, and their words are full of worry, and they are worried about the future of the sect.

Outer disciples only carry out a mission once every three months, and then they can receive a monthly salary for three months, which is what many casual cultivators dream of.

Even if the mission takes a little longer and is a little more tedious, it is still better than every spiritual stone, which is stained with blood and sweat.

The treatment of inner disciples is almost twice that of outer disciples, and there are various preferential treatments, and they don’t need to do chores once every three months.

It’s just that there is only one mission every six months on average, but it is much more time-saving and labor-saving than ordinary chores.

Generally speaking, this kind of task is intended to sharpen the inner disciples.

To make them understand that every spiritual stone is hard-earned, and not to become a waste who only knows how to receive monthly salary.

However, the good treatment of disciples in Yuanyang Sect is based on plundering the entire Qingzhou.

If the sect loses too many resource points and territories, the previous generous treatment will naturally not be maintained.

Therefore, whether it is from an emotional or interest perspective.

Most disciples do not want to see the sect suffer a serious loss of vitality, and are also very concerned about the recent situation.

The green escape light came from the sky, and the spiritual consciousness swept through, listening to the maid's discussion, but did not stop, and went straight to the top of the mountain.

"It's the young master!"

"The young master is back from the mission!"

Feeling the strong spiritual pressure, the maids showed joy on their faces and looked up.

In such a situation, they can still take care of the spiritual herbs here quietly, all thanks to Liu Yu's protection, and naturally hope that he is safe.

"Boom boom"

The stone door slowly opened, and Liu Yu stepped into the cave.

He scanned with his spiritual sense and found that Yan Hongyu was not in Qingyang Peak, so he went directly to the bathroom and washed his body carefully.

"It seems that I haven't done it myself for a long time, and I'm really a little uncomfortable for a while."

At this time, Liu Yu thought of his personal maid Wen Caiyi, especially her soft, boneless, smooth and cold little hands...

It didn't take long before the washing was completed.

He changed into a brand new black robe, went directly to the bedroom, lay on the soft bed, and soon fell asleep.

In the two years in Jinge City, under the strong pressure of the beast tide, Liu Yu hardly had a good sleep.

Every time, he just took a quick rest.

With the energy of a Jindan cultivator, although it would not affect his state, he still missed the feeling of a good sleep.

...

"Ah~!"

After a day and a night, Liu Yu woke up slowly, stretched his waist, and felt refreshed.

When he was clear-headed and dressed neatly, he came to the hall. The maid had already prepared spiritual tea and various cakes.

After eating a few cakes and drinking a cup of spiritual tea, he went straight into the practice room and began his daily practice.

It had only been two years since he left the Yuan Kingdom branch. There had been careful arrangements there, so Liu Yu had no intention of going there for the time being.

It was indeed a waste of time to go back and forth.

Well, let Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan come over.

In the practice room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the futon, took a "Peking Yuan Pill", and began to practice the "Qingyang Gong".

Qingyang Gong for three hours, the magical method of keeping the spirit for two hours, and the true body of the stars for two hours.

Seven hours passed by practicing all three at the same time.

While developing comprehensively and without shortcomings, Liu Yu also paid the price of time, and spent a lot of time in boredom.

What you want to get, you often have to pay first.

After completing the training, Liu Yu spent another hour to nurture magic weapons such as the Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear, the Golden Jade Ring, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Then he touched the storage ring, took out various monster materials, and began to count the gains of this trip.
