Immortal Palace Longevity

"Boom boom"

The stone door slowly opened, making a dull sound.

After learning that Elder Yan was about to pass away, Liu Yu was inexplicably touched, and his mood became heavy.

After returning to the cave to sort out his mood, he planned to go directly to the practice room to practice when his heart was calm.

But at this moment, the spirit beast bag suddenly emitted a huge fluctuation!

"Huh?"

"Is it Xiaoqing?!"

Liu Yu touched the slightly shaking spirit beast bag, and instantly sensed its current state through the connection of the master-servant contract.

At this time, Xiaoqing's state was very strange. His spirit was a little sluggish, but his life essence was slowly improving, becoming stronger bit by bit.

"Stuck at the peak of the second level for decades, is it finally going to break through the bottleneck?"

He flashed this thought and quickly walked towards the spirit beast room.

"Tap tap"

When he came to the spirit beast room, Liu Yu took off the spirit beast bag and poured it down. A huge black shadow instantly appeared in the cold and damp room.

The body is five or six feet long, the waist is as thick as a millstone, and the skin is light blue, looking like emerald green.

The snake head is not flat, but rather three-dimensional, naturally with a bit of majesty.

After decades, Xiaoqing's appearance has changed a lot, and it is already very different from the Yinming Spirit Snake.

The skin that was once dark blue has turned into pure blue.

This means that its bloodline has been transformed and has completely reached the level of a spirit monster.

"With the level of spirit monster bloodline, it is not difficult to break through the bottleneck of condensing demon pills."

"Although for a demon beast, it has been promoted to the third level in just over a hundred years, the speed is indeed very fast."

"But over the years, I have invested a lot of resources, and there should be no unstable foundation."

"Dragon Blood Fruit, Spirit Feeding Pill, Demon Beast Meat, Demon Beast Blood..."

"With the nourishment of so many spiritual objects, Xiaoqing's foundation should be much stronger than that of ordinary demon beasts."

Many thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, judging the current state of his spirit beast and the possibility of condensing demon pills to advance to the third level.

Soon he smiled and came to a happy conclusion.

"Hiss"

Xiaoqing opened his eyes with some difficulty, and spit out his snake tongue with difficulty, expressing his joy and closeness to his master.

But due to his current state, he was a little listless and did not rush over as quickly as usual.

"Advance well, little guy."

"Only after you advance can you help me."

Liu Yu approached, reached out and touched Xiaoqing's head, conveying a series of comforting messages.

He could feel the pure and rich demon power and active and strong blood in his huge demon body.

Both were very active at this time, running along the mysterious trajectory, causing Xiaoqing's breath to slowly rise.

The essence of life transformed bit by bit, gradually approaching the limit of the second stage.

"Hiss"

Xiaoqing spit out his snake tongue listlessly, indicating that he would definitely help his master, and then closed his eyes obediently and soon fell into a deep sleep.

And its aura is still slowly rising, and its body is gradually growing.

Although the rise is not large, it is very stable. If it continues like this, it is likely to be promoted successfully after a while.

"With the blood of a spirit beast and a very strong foundation, Xiaoqing has a very high success rate in condensing a demon pill, almost reaching 60%."

"But this 60% is only a theoretical data after all."

"Whether it can be promoted successfully in the end depends on its luck."

Liu Yu muttered to himself, and his palm slid across its skin, feeling smooth and cold.

At the critical moment of the spirit beast's promotion to the third level, he was extremely calm in his heart, and did not feel worried about gains and losses.

Because with the current strength, having a third-level spirit beast as a helper is just icing on the cake.

Under normal circumstances, it may provide considerable help, but it will not greatly improve strength.

"Plans cannot keep up with changes."

"I originally raised a spirit beast to help me fight, but I didn't expect that the speed at which the spirit beast with spirit bloodline improves its strength is far less than mine."

"But it's also good to be a mount or to be used as a guardian when practicing."

"I hope Xiaoqing will be promoted successfully before the Chang'an plan starts, otherwise I can't take it with me on this trip and can only stay in the sect."

Liu Yu shook his head, comforted Xiaoqing for a while, then walked out and closed the spirit beast room.

Like cultivators, when the life level breaks through the third level, the spirit beast must undergo the baptism of thunder tribulation.

If you are in the Hengduan Mountains, because of the thunder tribulation, it will make a huge noise and attract high-level spirit beasts, which is tantamount to seeking death.

Therefore, if Xiaoqing does not advance to the third level within ten months, you can't take it with you on this trip.

At that time, you can only hand it over to Jiang Qiushui or Ji Ruyan to take care of it.

Coming to the training room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the mat, took out the jade bottle containing the Snow Ginseng Pill, opened the stopper, took out a pill and put it in his mouth.

"Gurgle"

After the pill entered his stomach, he gathered his energy and began to practice and refine it.

The "Qingyang Gong" technique was circulated over and over again, converting the medicinal power and spiritual power released by the pill into the Qingyang Gong's excellent solid mana, each of which was smaller than dust.

Finally, it flowed to the large-scale mana lake.

With the help of the two pills, Liu Yu's cultivation level was not slow, and now he is close to the peak of the early stage of the Golden Pill.

Before the start of the Chang'an plan, there is hope to reach the peak of the early stage.

In terms of physical cultivation, it is a step faster and has reached the early peak. It only needs a suitable opportunity to break through to the middle stage of Jindan.

In terms of physical training, Liu Yu had better training conditions in all aspects, so he came from behind and surpassed Qi training.

As for refining gods, progress is very slow due to the lack of assistance from elixirs.

After several decades, it has only reached a range of seventy-eight miles.

But even so, it surpasses ordinary middle-stage Jindan monks and still has a huge advantage.

After cultivating to the peak of the early golden elixir, it is likely to reach the range of eighty miles. If it breaks through to the middle golden elixir, it is likely to reach the level of the late golden elixir.

Three hours later, the practice of "Qingyang Gong" was completed.

Liu Yu took a short rest and then continued to operate the "Star True Body".

"Hiss"

As the technique started to work, the black robe on his body suddenly exploded.

His bronzed, powerful and beautiful muscles were once again exposed to the air.

One foot, two feet...

The moment the "Star True Body" was activated, Liu Yu returned to his true body, and his body size increased rapidly.

Soon, it exceeded the previous limit and did not stop until it was about three feet six feet.

From a distance, he looks like a giant sitting cross-legged in the practice room.

Even the very spacious practice room feels inadequate.

"The progress in body refining has been a little too fast, and the strong accumulation has been exhausted."

"It seems that it is going to reach its peak in the early stages and stay there for a while."

"Unless you continue to absorb the "power of the sun"."

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and when he thought that in order to gather the "power of the sun", he must enter the supreme state, Liu Yu gave up the idea immediately.

The terrifying side effects made him shudder, and he had already decided to use it sparingly and with caution.

After adjusting his condition, Liu Yu's storage ring lit up slightly, and various auxiliary resources appeared in front of him.

He picked them up, swallowed them directly, or applied them on his body to assist in the cultivation of "Star True Body".

With the assistance of these resources, even if the "power of the sun" is not absorbed, the progress in body training is not slow.

…

Time flies like running water, and nine months have passed.

The beast tide offensive continued to slow down, as if it was digesting the territory it had gained. Large-scale battles did not occur, but small-scale battles continued one after another.

However, in ordinary wars, there is no need for Jindan monks to take action.

"Rumble"

On this day, Qingyang Peak suddenly became turbulent.

Pieces of black clouds began to gather over Lingshan Mountain, and the colorful spiritual energy of heaven and earth quickly flowed towards Liu Yu Cave Mansion.

A thin but powerful spiritual pressure enveloped the entire Lingshan Mountain, and gradually became thicker.

The moment there was movement in the hall, Liu Yu's heart moved.

"This kind of movement..."

"Xiao Qing has already condensed the demon elixir."

"The next step is the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation."

Through the connection of the master-servant contract, he instantly sensed Xiao Qing's condition and had already condensed the demon elixir.

And the level of life has officially reached the third level.

As long as you survive the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, this advancement will be completed.

With his thoughts turning, Liu Yu gave up the thought of leisurely reading and immediately made various arrangements properly.

First, all the formations were opened to allow Xiao Qing to absorb the spiritual energy smoothly, and then all the maids were informed to retreat to the mountainside to avoid being affected by the thunderstorm.

He also left the cave to protect the spiritual beasts so as not to cause misunderstandings among some unfamiliar fellow disciples.

"Click"

The dark clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and blue lightning flashes from time to time.

"Sizzle"

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Qing, who had completed his transformation, appeared on the top of the mountain, spitting out the snake letter towards Jie Yun in an arrogant manner, as if he was issuing a challenge.

Due to Liu Yu's deliberate training, it is not as docile as ordinary spiritual beasts.

He still eats unprocessed and bloody blood food, maintaining his unruly and untamed wild nature.

"Click"

"Boom!!"

Thunderbolts fell down one after another, landing on Xiaoqing's already ten-foot-long monster body. Suddenly, the flesh was torn open, blood dripped, and some terrifying wounds appeared.

However, this level of injury is not considered serious for a ten-foot-long demon body.

Xiao Qing's aura was stable and his fighting spirit was high, and he still roared at Jie Yun.

"Click"

What greeted it was the increasingly powerful thunder.

Even the ten-foot-long monster body still looks small under the calamity cloud, as if it will be destroyed in the next moment.

But Xiaoqing remained unruly, roaring at the sky with his own roar, using the magic that he had transformed into magical powers, and facing the thunder disaster head-on.

"Rumble"

Ice shards flew, and the ice attribute magical power was easily broken by thunder, falling on Xiao Qing's already torn monster body.

It is locked and cannot be avoided at all, so it can only bear it head-on.

It's too late, but it's too soon. The rhythm of the thunder falling is very fast, barely giving the target time to breathe, and only thinking about destroying the target.

In the blink of an eye, eight thunderbolts had fallen.

As long as you survive the last step, the tribulation will be completed.

But at this time, Xiao Qing's aura was extremely weak, and the huge monster body was dripping with blood, and almost no intact part could be found.

Under the baptism of Thunder Tribulation, its bloodline seemed to be further stimulated.

About half a foot below the head, there are convex bumps on the left and right sides. It seems that something is gestating in it and is about to complete some kind of transformation.

"Could it be that the bloodline has evolved and is on the road to becoming a dragon?!"

Liu Yu was shocked.

Although they are both spiritual monster bloodlines, the dragon is much stronger than the python in any aspect.

The strength is stronger in the same realm, and the upper limit is also higher.

"If it transforms into a dragon, it must be a bloodline stronger than the cold sky eagle, and it will be a powerful helper."

"Maybe, it can keep up with my pace"

Thinking of this, he was actually a little nervous.

Worried that the spiritual beast he cultivated with great effort would die directly under the bombardment of the thunder tribulation, making the energy and resources invested for hundreds of years go down the drain.

But no matter what Liu Yu thought in his heart, and no matter how serious Xiaoqing's injury was, the thunder tribulation showed no sign of stopping.

"Crack" "Crack"

In the heavy tribulation cloud, a thick blue and purple thunder appeared and fell directly to Xiaoqing below.

This thunder resounded among the beautiful mountains.

It seemed to be a ruthless judgment from the heavens to execute the creatures who went against the will of heaven!

The blue and purple thunder fell, the dark clouds quickly dimmed and disappeared, and the sun was about to shine down.

"Ang~!"

It seemed that Xiaoqing had passed a certain level. His roar was no longer a hissing sound, but a fierce and soul-stirring roar.

When it opened its mouth, pure ice-attributed demonic power gushed out, quickly condensing a thick ice wall in front of it.

Under the dim sky, the ice wall shone with a beautiful blue luster, giving it a sense of indestructibility.

And the demonic power was constantly injected, making the ice wall thicker and more solid.

But in a flash, the blue-purple thunder had already descended and instantly fell on the blue ice wall.

"Boom!!!"

The seemingly indestructible ice wall only lasted for a moment under the power of thunder, and then turned into ice chips flying all over the sky.

The thunder without obstruction instantly wrapped Xiaoqing.

"Ang~"

With a shrill whine, Xiaoqing's chest was directly pierced, and a huge blood hole appeared.

The blue-purple electric light kept swimming around the body, destroying the vitality of the demon body.

After the attack, Xiaoqing's breath declined to the extreme, almost falling to the third level.

It was already in a dying state, constantly making weak wailing.

If it was a wild demon beast, it could almost be determined to be dead.

"Not good!"

Seeing the last thunderbolt falling, his spirit beast was dying. Liu Yu had no time to greet his fellow disciples, and quickly flew to the top of the mountain.

He could feel that his spirit beast was on the verge of death, and of course he would not stand idly by.

"Wither"

The right hand waved a green light, and the magical power "Wither" was activated in an instant, descending on Xiaoqing's demon body.

It instantly locked the blue-purple thunderbolt, greatly reducing its power.

The magical power "Wither" can not only target living beings, but also energy, aura and other dead things, and the range of action is very wide.

Even the heavenly thunderbolt is not immune.

This is the domineering part of the magical power formed by inducing a trace of "Golden Seal Script" power!

Then, Liu Yu took a deep breath.

Five fingers formed claws and pressed on Xiaoqing's body, and the other hand slowly pinched the magic formula.

He actually planned to use the simplest and crudest method to directly guide the remaining thunder in his demon body!

"Zizi"

Direct contact, under Liu Yu's active attraction, the thunder began to flow through the demon body to the palm.

"Hum~"

He groaned, but it was not a big deal.

"Star True Body" has been cultivated to the peak of the early third stage. Not only is the physical body extremely powerful, but it also has good resistance to attacks of various attributes.

For Xiaoqing, the thunder is unbearable, but for Liu Yu, it is just a little pain.

The blue-purple thunder was finally guided by the other hand, forming a thunder ball with a flashing blue-purple luster, and finally put into the jade bottle.

In just two breaths, more than 90% of the remaining thunder on Xiaoqing's demon body disappeared.

Liu Yu stopped there and did not intend to remove it completely.

This kind of thunder power has many wonderful uses, especially for newly promoted creatures.

If all of it is removed, it will be a missed opportunity.

He took out a third-level healing elixir and fed it to Xiaoqing's mouth, and constantly encouraged this little guy through the connection of the master-servant contract.

Although it is more than a hundred years old, it is still a little guy in terms of the long lifespan of a third-level monster, equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old human child.

From this perspective, it seems that there is nothing unreasonable to call it a "little guy"?

After removing most of the thunder and taking the healing elixir, Xiaoqing's breath became stable and finally did not deteriorate further.

However, the injuries caused by the thunder are not easily recoverable. Even with the healing elixir and the third-level monster power, the speed is extremely slow.

The huge blood hole in its chest is still shocking!

"The demon pill is not damaged, and the breath has stabilized."

"As long as the injury does not worsen further, with the powerful vitality of a third-level demon cultivator, there should be no danger to life."

"So, I already have a third-level spirit beast mount?"

Thinking of this, Liu Yu's eyes fell on the two bulging bumps on Xiaoqing's chest.

He secretly guessed that Xiaoqing's bloodline had undergone further sublimation or atavism, and his essence had improved a lot, and he had already embarked on the "road to becoming a dragon."

Once evolved into a dragon, the potential will be greatly increased!
