Immortal Palace Longevity

“Buzz”

Rune circles lit up quickly, and dazzling milky white light bloomed.

A figure in black robes, with a burly figure and an ordinary long sword hanging from his waist, suddenly appeared in the teleportation array.

This person was Liu Yu.

After being teleported back to the sect, under the attention of many low-level disciples, he directly turned into a green escape light and soared into the sky, flying towards Qingyang Peak.

At this time, he had restored his original appearance.

“Young Master, during the time you were away, Elder Yan visited several times.”

“I didn’t see you come back, so I left a message and left.”

“Elder Yan made an appointment with you at Qingxiu Peak. Please be sure to go and see him. His attitude seems a little... urgent?”

After reporting the information, Wen Caiyi said uncertainly, with a puzzled look.

It was the first time she saw that kind of urgent expression on the face of the Jindan elder.

Could it be because of the beast tide?

Liu Yu had just returned to the sect, and he received Wen Caiyi’s message before he even drank a sip of the spiritual tea.

Hearing this, he frowned.

He had just returned to the cave and encountered such a thing, so he was not in a good mood.

However, according to the description, it should be something very important, so Elder Yan came to visit many times.

Wen Caiyi was just afraid of missing the important matter, so she hurried to report it, and Liu Yu would naturally not vent his anger.

"What is it?"

In an instant, many thoughts emerged in Liu Yu's mind.

Beast tide? Chang'an plan?

Or is it a conspiracy with the other two veins?

However, since the outbreak of the beast tide, under the suppression of the Tianfeng Patriarch, the calculations between the three veins have been reduced a lot, which should be unlikely.

Liu Yu thought to himself, thinking about it left and right without any result, drank a cup of spiritual tea, and went out.

The green spiritual light shone, and many low-level disciples looked up in horror, only to see a green escape light quickly going away.

...

Under full-strength flight, even without using the magic weapon Black Wind Wings, Qingxiu Peak soon came into sight.

"Junior Brother Qingyang?"

"Come in quickly!"

As soon as they entered the forty-mile range, Elder Yan's old and majestic voice rang out among the mountains, inviting Liu Yu to come in for a chat.

Then, a red light rose from Qingxiu Peak and came straight up.

His face was majestic without anger, and he looked energetic. It was Elder Yan!

"Brother Yan is too polite."

The light paused, and Liu Yu bowed and smiled.

Since he did not deliberately restrain his spiritual pressure, he was not surprised that the other party could sense his arrival.

But Jindan cultivators are rarely so leisurely, and their reaction speed is so fast. Could it be that they have been waiting?

While greeting politely, Liu Yu's thoughts turned, and after carefully sensing Elder Yan's breath, he was suddenly shocked!

Under his powerful spiritual pressure, the breath he exuded was a little rotten, and it was obvious that he would not live long!

Keeping one's youthful appearance is a piece of cake for a Jindan cultivator. Under his energetic appearance, Elder Yan's essence is about to die.

"This is a sign that his life span is about to end and he is about to die."

Liu Yu's keen sense of perception quickly made an accurate judgment.

"Brother Yan, what are you doing..."

Hearing this, his face showed a heavy look.

If he was about to die, Elder Yan would definitely be arranging his funeral affairs at this time, and everything would be explained.

As long as there is hope for further promotion, the focus of the cultivator will be on his own practice.

Only when he is sure that he cannot be promoted, recognizes and accepts the fact that he cannot continue to be promoted, will the focus gradually shift to his family or disciples.

And investing energy in the process is also easy to develop feelings. Bloodline, inheritance, etc. are things that many cultivators find difficult to give up before they die.

"It seems that my brother has noticed it."

Hearing this, the smile on Elder Yan's cheerful face quickly disappeared, revealing a hint of bitterness.

"However, I am indeed about to die."

"I fought against a powerful enemy and hurt my vitality. Although I recovered from the injury, I still have sequelae."

"I have used all the means to prolong my life. I am satisfied to live for more than 600 years."

The man shook his head and pretended to be cheerful, but his voice was still a little low.

As a high-level cultivator, who is really willing to die after seeing the beauty of this world?

It's just that the facts are in front of us and we have to accept them.

"Liu understands."

Liu sighed and frowned slightly.

The lifespan limit of a Jindan cultivator is 800 years. Once the limit is reached, the soul will dissipate uncontrollably.

This process cannot be stopped unless there is the participation of a supernatural spirit.

When the lifespan limit is reached, the general spirit has lost its effect.

However, due to various reasons, even with the means of prolonging life, the lifespan of most Jindan cultivators is only about 600 years.

After all, cultivators fight against heaven and man throughout their lives, and will always suffer injuries of varying severity, which will affect their normal lifespan.

However, life-extending spiritual objects are very rare, and the effect is best when used for the first time, and the effect will become worse and worse afterwards.

Elder Yan lived for six or seven hundred years, and looking at all the Jindan cultivators, he cannot be said to be "short-lived".

"But this means that I have lost a strong supporter in the sect."

Liu Yu thought to himself.

He sat firmly on the side of the family lineage, and the Jindan family with the best relationship with him, except for the Li family, is the Yan family.

It can be foreseen that with the death of Elder Yan, the strength of the Yan family will definitely weaken significantly.

After all, he has experienced many things in the world and has extremely sophisticated methods. He is an absolutely qualified "elder" who relies on more than just his strength.

This point, even if Yan Quer has successfully formed the elixir, will be difficult to achieve in a short time.

The gap in strength between the new Jindan and the old Jindan is still very obvious.

Not everyone is like me. They have accumulated a lot in the foundation building period and have good strength as soon as they advance.

What's more, such things as wrists can only be acquired by experiencing some severe beatings. It remains to be discussed whether Yan Quer is as powerful as Elder Yan.

"This place is not suitable for in-depth discussions. Junior Brother Liu, please come inside and have a chat."

Elder Yan made an invitation gesture, and then Dunguang turned and descended, leading Liu Yu into his cave.

…

In the classical and unique cave mansion, the two people sat opposite each other at a stone table.

Not far away, a small pond was opened, with many goldfish swimming slowly in the pond.

He poured a cup of spiritual tea for Liu Yu with his own hands. Elder Yan held the tea cup and looked at the goldfish in the pond, with a look of loneliness on his face, quite like a hero in his twilight years.

Even the golden elixir cultivators cannot escape the cycle of life and death.

"well."

He sighed and said in a deep voice:

"This old man is about to expire. He probably only has one or two years left. I am anxious to see Junior Brother Liu this time just to discuss matters after his death."

"Although the old man has passed away, the relationship between the Yan family and his junior brother can still be maintained."

"Junior Brother Liu, right?"

When saying this, Elder Yan stared at Liu Yu closely, obviously very concerned about this.

"It's natural."

"When he was just a disciple in the Qi refining stage, Liu received a lot of help from the Yan family. How can he be such an ungrateful person?"

Liu Yu answered righteously without hesitation.

Even if Elder Yan passes away, the Yan family's huge power is not without successors.

Yan Quer, who has successfully formed the elixir, will inherit the power that Elder Yan has managed for hundreds of years.

At least in a short period of time, the Yan family's power has declined greatly, but they are still a qualified collaborator.

To take a step back, in the eyes of outsiders, he was in cahoots with the Yan family, and all he had to do was not wear a pair of pants.

It would be too ugly if Elder Yan just ignored him as soon as he passed away.

It is both a marriage and a magic weapon. If you treat her too coldly and roughly, it is obviously not appropriate and your future in the sect will be ruined.

A cold and heartless monk is obviously not worth focusing on training.

It was precisely because of various considerations that Liu Yu never considered it. After Elder Yan passed away, he ignored the Yan family and even planned to help when the time was right.

After all, the Yan family occupies a large amount of interests. With the death of the slick Elder Yan, there will definitely be challenges, overt or covert.

Liu Yu has reason to believe that Elder Yan has made careful arrangements, and some allies of the Immortal Cultivation Family will not stand idly by when the time comes.

Through the exchange of marriage interests and other means, the immortal cultivating families have also formed loose or close alliances.

"With Junior Brother Liu's words, I feel relieved."

A smile appeared on the old and serious face, and Elder Yan felt relieved and smiled.

Later, he revealed some arrangements after his death.

And I hope that when the Yan family encounters challenges, the other party can help.

As time goes by, the force Liu Yu represents is no longer just him.

Even if you leave him, the power will not collapse, and it will still be huge.

Jiang Qiushui and Leng Yuexin successfully formed elixirs one after another, which made many monks in the sect secretly feel frightened.

Around Liu Yu, a strength of three Jindan elders was formed, occupying a place in the sect.

He has also formed allies with the Li family, the Yan family and other immortal cultivating families, and has truly established a foothold in the Yuanyang Sect. Even many of the old Jindan forces in the sect do not dare to underestimate him.

For this reason, even if Liu Yu participated in the Chang'an Project, many monks seemed likely to leave and never come back, but they remained polite on the surface and their attitude did not change at all.

During the conversation, Elder Yan secretly lamented that Liu Yu's rise was so rapid that it was quite unstoppable.

He had a hunch that if Junior Brother Liu came back alive, he would probably soar into the sky and become a figure like Li Changfeng.

Even in the future, he will replace Li Changfeng and take charge of the sect!

"Junior brother, do you know that Hong Yu is also about to expire?"

Elder Yan suddenly said.

Liu Yu nodded silently, but did not speak.

He actually didn't have much affection for Yan Hongyu, so taking her as a concubine was more of a result of self-interest considerations.

And because of Yan Quer's relationship, there is still some distance between her and her.

"Hongyu is also nearing the end of his life. Now he is old and his appearance is declining. I don't want my junior brother to see his current appearance."

"She returned to the family privately, and I asked my junior brother not to be offended."

Elder Yan turned to the tea cup and said calmly.

He didn't feel much about Yan Hongyu's death, let alone any pity.

In his eyes, he is just a slightly outstanding family member.

The family has invested a lot of resources. Since the elixir formation has not been successful, it must contribute to the family and use the remaining value.

As a tool for marriage, Yan Hongyu has already played a role, and it doesn't matter whether she is a good person or not.

In his more than 600 years of life, Elder Yan has seen too many outstanding juniors, but unfortunately, they all failed to condense the golden elixir, and instead died in front of him.

As time went by, there was no feeling anymore.

Only the younger generation like Yan Qun'er, who has great hope of condensing the golden elixir, can attract his high attention.

His feelings are not placed on a certain younger generation, but on the entire family.

"It's human nature, and you can understand it."

Liu Yu nodded, without any intention of pursuing the matter.

In the final analysis, the marriage was just a test of the Yan family's attitude towards him. Since the two parties already knew each other's attitude, the tool at the time was not important.

As for Yan Hongyu, he never had the idea of ​​supporting her, nor did he regret his original choice.

The two discussed the arrangements after sitting and passing away, and began to chat.

Most of the time, the other party was talking, and Liu Yu listened quietly, occasionally echoing a few words.

Elder Yan talked nonstop, as if he had completely looked down on life and death, and kept talking about some things in the past.

For example, fighting against someone who underestimated the enemy, killing a certain well-known cultivator, and once admired a certain fairy, but unfortunately he didn't get what he wanted in the end, and felt deeply regretful.

In every word, the two seemed to be friends of different ages, and they got along quite happily.

It was not until half a day later that they reluctantly dispersed.

"Even Jindan cultivators cannot escape the cycle of life and death."

"I, Liu, will never choose this way of death!"

"Either become a true immortal, or die on the road to immortality!"

"If you don't want to be a dazzling meteor for a while, you should be the eternal scorching sun hanging in the middle of the sky!"

Leaving Qingxiu Peak, Liu Yu thought silently.

At this time, the night has enveloped the sky and the earth, and the stars and the moon compete for brilliance in the night sky.

Because of the stars, it is not very dark tonight.

He turned into a green escape light, and disappeared from Qingxiu Peak in the blink of an eye, becoming a small dot on the horizon.
