Immortal Palace Longevity

After receiving the telepathic message, Zhang Tao's reaction was calmer than he had imagined, and a look of "as expected" flashed in his eyes.

Eight years ago, when Liu Yu took on the task of taking on Guo Poyun, he asked for a second-grade spiritual fire as a reward for the task.

Since it is a secret technique, it will naturally not stay where it is, and there will be a need for a higher level.

Before, a second-grade spiritual fire was needed. Will a third-grade spiritual fire be needed in the future?

After learning that Liu Yu was the "master of alchemy" and seeing that he showed strength far beyond his peers, Zhang Tao decided that it was most appropriate for Zhang Yi to worship him as his master.

Therefore, he met with the elders, contacted several people of the same clan, and risked his old face to gather this generous gift of worship.

As for Liu Yu's personality, through eight years of contact, as well as the two major events of "escorting magic weapons" and "the battle of Lingwu City", he thought he had enough understanding.

The other party's moral bottom line is indeed more "flexible".

But the most basic promise is still to abide by, at least not the kind of person who is moody or harms others and does not benefit himself.

There is no reason to destroy something that benefits everyone, right?

Of course, having profound attainments in the fire system is indeed a huge plus.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tao did not hesitate to hear the words, and the light of the storage ring was slightly bright.

A black jade box with a sealing talisman appeared in his hand, and then floated gently across.

Maybe this person himself did not realize that the identity of "Tiannan Envoy" made him have a high degree of favorability towards Liu Yu from the beginning.

Over the years, he has also paid special attention to him.

"Pah"

Liu Yu took the black jade box, nodded slightly to the other party, and then lifted a corner of the sealing talisman on the spot, and then slowly opened it.

"Kacha"

In an instant, a strange spiritual power spread out from the gap of the black jade box, and he, holding the jade box, was the first to bear the brunt.

This is a third-grade spiritual fire. Excluding some unexpected factors, ordinary Jindan can already dominate the Jindan realm if they get such a spiritual fire.

As long as he doesn't encounter that kind of top-notch golden elixir, he can protect himself in the third level.

Abandoning some factors, just talking about the killing effect on living beings, it can already be on par with or even surpass the top magic weapon!

Therefore, facing the third-level spiritual fire, Liu Yu did not take it lightly at this time. He sensed that strange spiritual power and immediately had a thought.

Combining the skills of "The Magic Method of Conserving the Spirit" and "The Heart Sutra of Dreams", the invisible and intangible spiritual consciousness immediately moved, and built a thick "wall of spiritual consciousness" in front of him to protect himself.

The next moment, the strange spiritual power met the thick wall of spiritual consciousness.

"Hiss"

There seemed to be a sharp sound in my ears.

But looking closely, Zhang Tao and Zhang Yi obviously did not have any strange colors, as if they did not hear any sound.

"This sound does not exist in reality, but only in the spiritual level."

The sharp sound disappeared quickly, and Liu Yu noticed that there was nothing wrong with the two people, and judged in his heart.

Seeing that the strange power was successfully blocked by the wall of consciousness, he reached out to the ink-colored jade box and tried to open it completely.

"Huh?!"

But at this moment, Liu Yu suddenly paused.

He keenly sensed that after the strange power that was originally blocked dissipated, there was still a trace of invisible and intangible power in it, which was not blocked by the wall of consciousness and spread directly to him.

This kind of power cannot be observed by the naked eye or the consciousness.

It can only be sensed through spiritual perception, but even with Liu Yu's spiritual perception, it takes a little concentration to sense it.

It happened in a flash.

I didn't expect there would be this trick. In a flash, that kind of power had hit Liu Yu.

There was no bleeding from the seven holes of the body, no tingling in the consciousness, and no abnormality in the soul.

He stood there, looking unharmed.

But Liu Yu's originally calm heart was unconsciously rippled by the power that was not blocked by the wall of consciousness.

Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness...

All kinds of emotions were magnified many times at this moment, especially the "greed" for treasures.

"As the general manager, Zhang Tao must have many treasures in his storage ring that he hasn't distributed yet."

"If I can kill him, they will all be mine!"

As his eyes swept over Zhang Tao, Liu Yu felt an impulse in his heart, and that "bold" idea emerged again.

There was a thought of killing Zhang Tao at all costs, seizing the treasures and escaping Lingwu City.

"Gather and concentrate, embrace the origin and guard the unity"

But that kind of power was too weak and the influence was extremely limited. Liu Yu silently recited the "Zuowang Heart Sutra" and easily suppressed it with his rock-hard willpower.

Although all kinds of emotions were still magnified, he was no longer affected.

There were still some waves in his heart, but his eyes were clear!

"Kacha"

Liu Yu gently opened the ink-colored jade box and revealed the contents inside.

This is a pure white lotus, without even a trace of impurities on the surface. If it weren't for the flames jumping from time to time, it would be almost impossible to tell that it was a flame.

As soon as it was exposed to the air, the pure white lotus-like spiritual fire continued to radiate around, and the strange power just now.

Liu Yu saw all kinds of emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness from it, and sensed a power that could distort the mind.

"I guess it was this power that magnified the emotions in my heart just now."

"This power can affect and magnify the emotions in the hearts of living beings. Let's call it the "power of desire" for the time being."

This thought flashed through his mind.

However, this kind of spiritual fire was not recorded in the classics he had seen before, so Liu Yu did not recognize it at the first time.

At this moment, an old and deep voice sounded in his ears slowly.

"Third-grade spiritual fire, the Impermanence Heart Flame."

"The normal power of this spiritual fire against the enemy is slightly weaker than that of the same-grade spiritual fire, but it is also far superior to the second-grade spiritual fire."

"Its characteristics must have been experienced by fellow Taoist Gucheng just now,"

"That's right, it can amplify the emotions in the hearts of living beings, and even make living beings become irrational beasts under the burning and distortion of the "fire of desire"!"

"If used properly, it is no problem to reverse the situation of the battle, and the effect is far superior to one or two powerful magic weapons."

Looking at the pure white spiritual fire in the ink-colored jade box, Zhang Tao's eyes flashed with pain, and he slowly introduced it.

In order to exchange this "Impermanence Heart Flame" from the elder, he paid a huge price.

Over the years, the family merits that have been accumulated with great difficulty have been consumed by almost half.

But for the safety of his direct descendant Zhang Yi, he still gritted his teeth and chose to exchange.

After all, he was already old and could not go any further. It was useless to have more resources. They had to be left to the younger generation.

While speaking, Zhang Tao cast a series of spells, which fell around the "Impermanent Heart Flame".

Forming a "wall" covered with seals, isolating the "power of desire" that could affect emotions.

He and Liu Yu had high cultivation and firm will, and could ignore this influence, but Zhang Yi, who was only in the middle stage of Qi Refining, was far from doing it.

"Impermanent Heart Flame?"

"Moody."

"Not bad."

Looking at the lotus shape and the pure white spirit fire that jumped from time to time, Liu Yu nodded slightly and was very satisfied.

Thinking back to more than ten years ago, the golden flame of the third princess of Fire Phoenix that could directly attack the Yuanshen, he still remembered it clearly.

Since then, he has always had the idea of ​​obtaining such a spirit fire and giving it to Qingyang Demon Fire to devour, but he has not been able to do so due to the environment.

Now that I have the "Impermanent Heart Flame", I finally got what I wanted.

Although the characteristics are somewhat different, it can affect emotions and naturally indirectly affect the soul.

Liu Yu is well aware of the huge difference between the Central Region and Tiannan.

This land has a longer history, and the secret arts and magical powers developed must be more numerous and more sophisticated.

If one's own methods are not updated and upgraded in time, sooner or later, he will encounter a strong enemy, and then he may fall into a passive position or even be defeated.

The current two spiritual consciousness attack methods, "Shock Spirit Thorn" and "Great Dream Spring and Autumn", although covering both single attack and group attack, are relatively "traditional" attack methods to some extent.

Due to the prosperity of the world of immortal cultivation, the Central Region Jindan is knowledgeable and has more knowledge about the soul and consciousness.

The current two spiritual consciousness secrets are probably not "weird" and cannot play a role in winning by surprise.

Even if they don't know the secret arts of spiritual consciousness, the Central Region Jindan may have one or two magic weapons to resist spiritual consciousness attacks for self-defense.

Especially for the true teachings of big forces, there is a high probability that they have both.

If the attack you place your hope on is easily resisted by the opponent, you will be in a dilemma.

And the "power of desire" that can ignore even the wall of consciousness, I believe that ordinary consciousness defense means can also penetrate it, which is "weird" enough.

When "Shocking Soul Thorn" and "Great Dream Spring and Autumn" fail, and in ordinary battles, it must have a good effect.

Thinking of this, the more Liu Yu looked at "Impermanence Heart Flame", the more satisfied he was, and he even had an impulse to stay in Lingwu City for a few more days to let Qingyang Magic Fire be promoted to the third grade first.

However, this idea only flashed in his mind, and was eventually suppressed by reason.

"Click"

Liu Yu closed the ink-colored jade box, and re-pasted the soul-sealing talisman before putting it into the storage ring.

"Your son has a fire elemental spiritual root, which is just right for what I learn."

"What's more rare is that he has a firm heart towards the Tao, which is very much to my liking."

"I accept the matter of becoming your disciple."

After putting away the "Impermanent Heart Flame", he nodded gently to Zhang Tao and formally agreed to this matter.

Although accepting a disciple, especially a close disciple, is usually inconvenient.

But in front of three third-level pill recipes and the third-grade "Impermanent Heart Flame", all this is not impossible to change.

Liu Yu has never been a stubborn person. As long as the benefits are big enough and the matter will not bring bad effects to himself, everything can be discussed.

The spiritual root aptitude does have a great advantage in the first three realms, but it still takes a while to grow up, at least a few decades.

And with that time, he may have cultivated to the peak of the golden elixir. If it goes a little better, it is not impossible to break the elixir and become an infant.

Isn't it easy to grasp a "good disciple"?

As long as this good disciple does not try to pry into his secrets, Liu Yu does not mind being a master again, after all, it is not the first time.

After saying that, he grabbed the three jade slips on the sand table with his five fingers, and put them into the storage ring without even looking at them.

"Impermanence Heart Flame" and "Soul Condensation Pill Recipe", any one of them is enough to match the value of these three pill recipes, and the actual value is far more.

There is no problem with the first two things, the treasures with the lowest value, the other party naturally cannot fake it for the sake of losing more than a small amount.

"I am very pleased that Daoist Fellow Gucheng can agree."

"I will leave this junior to Daoist Fellow!"

Finally, after hearing what he wanted to hear, Zhang Tao felt relieved and bowed his hands.

"Since Gu has accepted the gift of apprenticeship, he will teach this boy well and will not let down the trust of Taoist Zhang Tao."

"Don't worry, Taoist."

Liu Yu bowed his hands in return and said solemnly.

He has always been more practical. Since he has taken the benefits of others, he will naturally do their things well.

Unless there is an unexpected situation, such as he can't protect himself, etc.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and then turned around at the same time and looked at the young man Zhang Yi standing with his hands hanging down.

This boy looked mature for a young man, and he kept his ears erect and lowered his head slightly, listening to the conversation.

But seeing the eyes of his great-grandfather and future master looking at him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and subconsciously lowered his head.

Seeing this, Liu Yu and Zhang Tao smiled at each other, then restrained their smiles, and their expressions gradually became solemn.

The counterattack of the demon clan may come at any time, and time is urgent and cannot be delayed for too long.

After arranging Zhang Yi's destination, Zhang Tao did not want Liu Yu to stay in Lingwu City for too long.

Next, the apprenticeship ceremony was simplified. Under Zhang Tao's personal witness, Zhang Yi completed the apprenticeship ceremony step by step.

"Disciple Zhang Yi, pay homage to the master!"

Full of youthful vigor, but with a hint of childishness, it sounded in the hall.

"Dong Dong Dong"

The previous apprenticeship steps were completed quickly. Zhang Yi meticulously tidied his clothes and knelt down to Liu Yu with a flick of his sleeves.

With a slow but firm attitude, he kowtowed three times in a row.

There is a saying: Heaven, Earth, the King, Parents, and Teachers.

For the disciples, the master has the responsibility to preach, impart knowledge, and solve doubts. What's more, he will pass on some unique knowledge of the way of cultivating immortals that he has comprehended.

When the disciples encounter bottlenecks in their cultivation, they will generally help them break through in many ways.

For example, impart relevant breakthrough experience, such as preparing suitable "breakthrough pills".

For example, choosing a suitable location, arranging disciples to go out for training and breakthrough, and arranging guardians to secretly protect their safety, etc.

In many cases, the master himself is the "guardian".

If the road to cultivation is dark, then the master is the guiding light for the disciples, guiding the disciples in the direction of progress so that they will not go astray.

This kind of gratitude and this close relationship even surpass the connection between blood!

In the eyes of many cultivators, it is extremely important, and can even surpass the father-son relationship.

Because of this, even in the eyes of the demon cultivators, the disciples betraying the master or killing the master must be a great rebellion.

The entire cultivation world rejects such ungrateful cultivators!

"Master, please have tea."

After completing the previous steps, Zhang Yi stood up and took the tea prepared by Zhang Tao, walked to Liu Yu and respectfully bent down to hand it over.

There is a soundproof barrier outside, and the sound of the entire Lingwu City cannot be transmitted for the time being.

The entire process of becoming a disciple was carried out in a solemn atmosphere.

"Well, the young man is teachable."

Liu Yu did not hesitate, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it aside.

Looking at the boy who stood respectfully with his hands down, but already had a bit of extraordinaryness, he silently organized his words for a few breaths, and then began his first lecture:

"After performing the apprenticeship ceremony and handing over the apprenticeship tea, you are also considered to be my disciple."

"From today on, you are my direct disciple."

"I don't have so many rules here, but there are a few that must not be violated."

"Listen carefully and remember them in your heart. If you violate them, I will punish you severely."

"First, you must not bully your teacher and destroy your ancestors, and you must not kill your fellow disciples."

"Second, without permission, you must not privately teach the knowledge of cultivating immortals you got from me."

"Third..."

Liu Yu's face was solemn at this time, quite a bit like the style of a famous teacher, and his voice was filled with an inexplicable majesty.

He spoke the rules under his seat word by word.

Zhang Yi lowered his head and listened, recording every word and every sentence in his heart.

However, Liu Yu didn't have many rules. Although he didn't speak fast, he finished quickly.

The apprenticeship ceremony was completed!

"Fellow Daoist Gucheng, after leaving the six continents of Annan, do you plan to go to the capital of Daqian, "Shenjing"? "

After the ceremony was completed, Zhang Tao asked after a few breaths.

In his opinion, as the "Tiannan Envoy", Liu Yu had to convey the information from Tiannan to the Central Region Immortal Dynasty, and the first stop must be Daqian Shenjing.

Not only that, as the capital of Daqian, Shenjing can be called the "No. 1 Immortal City in the Central Region" today.

Almost all the spiritual objects and various rare resources in the entire Central Region will flow to or pass through Shenjing.

Almost all the needs for cultivation can be found in Shenjing.

Therefore, no matter from which angle, whether you want to complete the sect mission, or simply want to exchange resources and see the prosperity of the Central Region, the probability of choosing Shenjing as the first stop is very high.

"Zhang Tao is so good at predicting things!"

"Yes, after leaving the Six Continents of Annan, Gu did plan to go to "Shenjing" first."

This is not difficult to guess, Liu Yu admitted frankly.

He really wanted to go to Shenjing to see the prosperity of the Central Region and the current appearance of the Daqian Immortal Dynasty, and see if he could complete the sect mission by the way.

Finally, according to the information collected, choose a suitable place to practice.

After all, with the existence of the "Ten Thousand Demons Formation", Tiannan will definitely not be able to return in a short time.

And after going through hardships and arriving in the more prosperous Central Territory, Liu Yu has no thoughts of going back for the time being.

"Fellow Daoist from the ancient city is new here and is not familiar with the Central Territory yet."

"If Lingwu City is already in hand, the family is about to send a team to Shenjing to formally inform Emperor Qian of the matter and announce the news to the entire Central Region."

"If fellow Taoists from the ancient city are interested, you can set off with the Zhang family's team."

"In this way, it is equivalent to having a tour guide, which can save a lot of time."

Zhang Tao touched his beard and said with a smile.

After the apprenticeship was completed, this person's attitude was obviously more cordial, and the relationship between the two became much closer.

"In this case, being respectful is not as good as obeying orders. Then we will trouble fellow Taoist Zhang Tao!"

After thinking for a moment or two, Liu Yu replied with a smile.

The Zhang family is a force that transforms gods into gods. If you follow the Zhang family's team, there will be a lot of conveniences along the way.

And with Zhang Yi's relationship, the other party couldn't possibly cheat him.

"Hahaha."

"please!"

Zhang Tao smiled heartily, waved his hand to remove the soundproof barrier, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Let's go."

Liu Yu nodded slightly, passed by Zhang Yi, his new direct disciple, gently stroked his head, and led him towards the door.
