Immortal Palace Longevity

Ten years later, Zixia Mountains.

Temporary cave, hall.

The sun was just right and the breeze was not dry. The bright sunlight shone in from several windows, adding a bit of warmth to the hall.

"Tap tap"

A series of regular footsteps came from far to near, and a slender female cultivator gradually appeared in sight.

This woman was wearing a tight yellow dress, and on the tray in her hand, there were several exquisite pastries full of spiritual energy, all made of spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines.

It was Zhuo Mengzhen!

She walked to the other side of the table, put the tray on the table, and looked at Liu Yu quietly without saying a word.

Ten years later, the aura emanating from Zhuo Mengzhen's body was still only at the middle stage of the Golden Core.

The last time she attacked the late stage of the Golden Core, it was obviously a failure.

She was very unlucky. She encountered a bottleneck when breaking through the late stage. The last time she was in seclusion for four years, she still failed to break through.

The cultivation of the Golden Core Realm is a hundred times more difficult than the previous two realms, and it is simply incomparable.

Even with dual spiritual roots, there is no obvious advantage.

Either when breaking through the middle stage or the late stage, there will always be a bottleneck, even dual spiritual roots and different spiritual roots are no exception.

The advantage of spiritual roots has been greatly weakened by the Golden Core Realm.

To have a smooth journey in the Golden Core Realm, only heavenly spiritual roots, high-grade Golden Core, or extremely excellent spiritual bodies, divine bodies, and Taoist bodies can do it.

In addition, even dual spiritual roots, different spiritual roots, or ordinary spiritual bodies will encounter bottlenecks sooner or later.

However, those with excellent spiritual roots can often condense Golden Cores of higher quality.

Perhaps this can also be seen as a continuation of the advantage of spiritual roots?

After all, it is extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to cultivate to the point where they can break through the Golden Core bottleneck, so how can they have the energy to consider the quality of the Golden Core?

"Pah"

After a few breaths, Liu Yu closed the manual of the exercises, took a piece of cake handed over by Zhuo Mengzhen, opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

In order to cultivate the "Star True Body", in addition to using some physical resources to assist in cultivation, one must also eat a variety of foods containing a large amount of spiritual energy on weekdays.

Only in this way can one maintain high-intensity cultivation and further stimulate the potential of the physical body.

He carefully calculated that the investment in physical cultivation even exceeded the sum of the investment in Qi and spirit cultivation.

With such a huge amount of resource consumption, it is no wonder that physical cultivation will gradually decline.

After all, after the "Ancient War", the overall spiritual energy concentration in the cultivation world began to decline, and all kinds of cultivation resources showed a trend of reduction.

Fortunately, Liu Yu has a fairy house, and this level of consumption can still be borne.

Ten years have passed, and his cultivation in all aspects has steadily improved. Although he has not been able to take another small step, there has been a considerable increase.

The range of spiritual consciousness has been further improved, from 150 miles to 152 miles.

Compared with the lower limit of 200 miles in the Nascent Soul stage, it is only 48 miles away.

"This is the technique I have collected recently."

As he said this, Zhuo Mengzhen took out several books and jade slips from his storage ring and placed them on the table.

Liu Yu's heart moved, and he immediately picked up the books and jade slips and took a rough look at them one by one.

"Not bad."

After a moment, he smiled and put them into the storage ring along with the books he was reading. ….In the past ten years, although Liu Yu stayed in the mansion and rarely went out, he never stopped collecting various immortal cultivation books and spiritual herbs and medicines.

These were generally left to Zhuo Mengzhen.

Being in a super-large gathering place for immortal cultivators, it was relatively convenient to collect various immortal cultivation resources. In addition, with the help of elixirs and spiritual stones, as well as some help from the Purple Scarf Army, it was generally very smooth.

A lot of fire-attributed immortal cultivation techniques were collected, and some could even be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage.

Even the techniques that lead directly to the God of Transformation, Liu Yu collected two fragments at all costs, which could be used as reference materials for deduction. ..

Although the spiritual consciousness technique is more rare.

But most of the problems in the world can be solved with spiritual stones, as long as they are properly operated.

With enough high-quality spiritual stones and the bombardment of third-level spiritual pills, Liu Yu finally collected three books, which can be practiced to the Nascent Soul stage and can be used as a reference for deducing the "magic method of preserving the spirit".

Zhuo Mengzhen also gained a lot of benefits by working for him.

After confirming that there were no problems with the three spiritual consciousness techniques, Liu Yu picked a technique suitable for this woman and gave it to her on credit at a "30% discount".

In this way, Zhuo Mengzhen's strength finally reached the level of the same-level cultivators in the Central Region.

"What is the recent situation?"

"Is Qianting still as crazy as before to suppress various loose cultivation organizations?"

After swallowing a few pieces of cakes, Liu Yu took a sip of spiritual tea and then asked.

"The suppression of loose cultivator organizations by Qianting Holy Land has lasted for ten years, and the intensity has only recently weakened."

"But the suppression that has lasted for ten years has caused many loose cultivator organizations to suffer heavy casualties, and it is no longer possible to pose a threat to the major immortal cities under the control of Qianting Holy Land."

"Many loose cultivator organizations that have suffered heavy losses have come to Zixia Mountains, intending to regroup here."

"At present, the number of permanent cultivators in Zixia Mountains has probably exceeded the 500,000 mark, and the number is close to 550,000."

"If this continues..."

Hearing this, Zhuo Mengzhen thought for a moment, and then told the information she had collected in a clear and orderly manner.

At the end, a trace of worry flashed across her face.

So many radical loose cultivators gathered in Zixia Mountains. Even with the protection of the reputation of "Nine Dragon God", is it safe?

This time, that time.

You know, both Qianting and Holy Land have spiritual treasures.

The God-Transforming Lord activates the ancient spiritual treasures, but he can temporarily exert his Void Refining-level strength!

When that time comes, will the Nine Dragons God take action, and will he be able to hold on?

However, before the woman finished speaking, she was interrupted by Liu Yu raising her hand and did not continue.

The problems that Zhuo Mengzhen thought of, he naturally thought of as well, so he has kept a very low profile these years.

Even if Qian Ting does take action by then, the first targets will be members of various casual cultivating organizations.

There are so many casual cultivators in the Zixia Mountains. Even if the army really comes to attack the territory, there will be so many targets in the chaos, and it will not be difficult for him to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

As long as you don't stand out and don't get targeted by the Nascent Soul Lord of the Holy Land of Qianting, the danger is not as great as imagined.

"It seems that this round of attacks on the Holy Land of Qianting is about to come to an end."... "The situation may not develop in the worst direction. We can still practice in the Zixia Mountains with peace of mind."

"Just remember not to be in the limelight and become a thorn in the side of Qianting Holy Land."

After a few breaths of silence, he tapped the armrest with his knuckles, and Liu Yu gave instructions.

"Understood, husband."

Zhuo Mengzhen nodded obediently, with a smile on his face, then picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to Liu Yu's mouth.

Seeing the other person swallowing it in one gulp and acting as if nothing had happened, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

These seemingly inconspicuous cakes contain no less spiritual energy than a third-level elixir.

If you were an ordinary golden elixir cultivator, you would have to refine it immediately after eating a piece of it. How could you be so calm and relaxed?

"Thank you for your hard work these years."

Seeing the female cultivator cover her mouth and chuckle, Liu Yu couldn't help but smile.

Then his face straightened, and with a wave of his hand he took out twenty high-grade spiritual stones and placed them on the table. After thinking about it for a while, he said:

"Take these twenty high-grade spiritual stones and go to the market to buy a "Purple Cloud Pill" to try to break through the bottleneck in the later stage."

"The spiritual stones will be recorded in the account first and then used to offset future remuneration."

"Purple Cloud Pill" reaches the third level and is a very famous realm-breaking elixir in the Golden Pill realm. It can increase the chance of breaking through the Golden Pill bottleneck by 40%.

The recipe of this elixir is unique to "Zhenjun Zixia", the great disciple of "Nine Dragon God Lord". It is very effective in breaking through bottlenecks, so the price has always been high.

Just one requires two hundred thousand spiritual stones, which is equivalent to the price of two good magic weapons.

"Husband~"

Zhuo Meng was really moved and did not take the spirit stone immediately.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Liu Yu raised her hand to stop her.

"Stop talking nonsense and take it."

Liu Yu waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Um."

The words he had not yet spoken were swallowed back into his mouth. Zhuo Mengzhen bit his red lips and put away the twenty high-grade spiritual stones one by one.

Immediately, a sweet smile appeared on the woman's delicately made-up face.

"This feeling of being trusted...is so good."

After accepting twenty spiritual stones, she knew that all these years of hard work were not in vain, and she finally gained some trust from the other party.

Looking at this woman, Liu Yu shook her head slightly, but did not take the opportunity to make any intimate moves.

Although Zhuo Mengzhen has dual spiritual root qualifications, he is only a middle-grade golden elixir. It will take at least decades of hard work to break through the bottleneck.

Even if you are unlucky, it is not impossible for hundreds of years to happen.

Many golden elixir monks are stuck by the bottleneck and cannot get any closer until they die.

At present, the Central Territory is turbulent, and Zhuo Mengzhen's little strength is not enough to protect herself, so Liu Yu thought over and over again and decided to help her.

After all, this woman has been with him for decades and is a legitimate concubine. It seems a bit unkind to not help him at this time.

And now she has a powerful helper who can handle many chores, giving herself more time to practice.

If he really died in the chaos, wouldn't he really become a "lonely man" and have to do everything by himself?

More importantly, Zhuo Mengzhen did not ask for help after his breakthrough failed, which Liu Yu appreciated very much. ….It is one thing to take the initiative to speak, but it is another thing to passively accept it.

As the saying goes, people's hearts are revealed over time, and after decades of shared experience, we can now trust them a little more.

Later, Zhuo Mengzhen continued to report on the situation of Jade Pill Hall and some specific things that happened in the Central Territory.

"Go ahead."

"After purchasing "Zixia Dan", retreat as soon as possible to make a breakthrough."

"There are undercurrents surging in the Central Territory right now, and a storm may come at any time. Your current strength is not enough to protect yourself."

The conversation ended after a quarter of an hour, Liu Yu put down the teacup and said softly.

"Yes, husband."

"tonight......"

Halfway through Zhuo Meng's true words, seeing the other party's indifferent look, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, but he could only turn around and leave.

We had just discussed the "Yin Yang Avenue" a few days ago. She understood the other party's current state very well, so she did not continue to persuade him.

If a female cultivator takes too much initiative in this matter, she will appear slutty and worthless.

Zhuo Mengzhen understands this truth, so he rarely takes the initiative. At most, he hints intentionally or unintentionally, and every time he gives in half.

"tread"

The regular footsteps gradually faded away, and the figure of the female cultivator quickly disappeared from sight.

Liu Yu looked away. Today's practice was completed and he continued to look through the Kung Fu books.

In the past ten years, he had rarely been able to calm down and practice. During this period, he read a large number of various classics and absorbed the more advanced knowledge and concepts of immortality cultivation in the Central Region.

Among them, most of them are fire-attribute skills.

At this time, if he enters that "supreme" state, Liu Yu is confident to deduce the follow-up of "Qing Yang Gong" and "Chen Shen Miao Dharma".

However, in order to make the technique as "perfect" as possible, he decided to start the deduction after condensing the Nascent Soul.

…

"Hai Xiu~"

A few days later, in a special training room that cost a lot of money to build, Liu Yu entered the "real body" state, sweating profusely from her upper body.

On the broad chest, nine large acupoints are connected to form a circular pattern, as bright as fire, and the fist tip shines with a bright red aura, swinging out at extremely fast speeds along a mysterious trajectory.

In an instant, dozens of punches can be thrown.

Because his speed was so fast, there were even dense fist shadows appearing around him, and powerful attacks were shot to all parts of the training room.

"Peng Pengpeng~"

Fortunately, the third-level spiritual materials were added to this training room when it was built, as well as the formation protection and reinforcement, so it did not fall apart under the attack.

If it were an ordinary training room, it would be reduced to rubble with just one blow.

"Huh~"

After finishing eighteen sets of "Meteor Fist", Liu Yu stood up to finish the exercise and let out a heavy breath.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, his expression changed, his keen sense sensed movement, and he subconsciously looked outside the cave.

"It's been a few days since Guo Poyun's last visit, so it shouldn't be him."

"At this time, who will come to the door?"

With thoughts flashing in his mind, Liu Yu casually put on a black robe, left the practice room and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

"Squeak~"

Soon, the door of the mansion opened gently, making a slight sound.

Through the gap, Liu Yu instantly saw a familiar figure.

"Xu Haoran?"

"Coming to me at this time wouldn't be another solicitation, would it?"

"But it has only been a short time since the last recruitment of the Purple Turban Army. I am so impatient. Could it be that something big has happened?"... Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but a smile naturally appeared on Liu Yu's face, and she held her hands in greeting:

"I haven't seen you for a few years. Fellow Taoist Haoran is even more elegant than before. Please come in quickly."

In order to recruit him, the Purple Turban Army made great efforts. Not only did Guo Poyun often come in person, but Xu Haoran, a descendant of the great monk, also visited several times.

"Haoran came without telling me, I hope fellow Taoists from the ancient city won't take offense!"

Standing outside the door, Xu Haoran cupped his hands and said.

Knowing the opponent's unfathomable strength and the grace of saving his life, although he had the support of a great monk behind him, his attitude was still very polite.

"We have known each other for a long time. Fellow Taoist Haoran said this is too foreign."

"please!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them entered the mansion together.

After a few breaths, they sat opposite each other in the lawn pavilion and sipped spiritual tea leisurely.

"The outside world is turbulent, but Taoist friends in the ancient city remain motionless. They can leisurely sip tea every day and enjoy the tranquility."

"I really envy others!"

After some small talk, Xu Haoran spoke with emotion while looking at the peaceful and natural scene in the courtyard.

"What's so hard about this?"

"Gu is just muddle along, not as good as Taoist friend Haoran who manages everything day by day."

"As long as you are not competitive and put aside fame, wealth, honor and disgrace, any monk can do it."

Liu Yu shook his head and smiled.

"That's true, but there are some things that can't just be put down."

Looking at the small lake in the distance and the carefree fish swimming in it, Xu Haoran sighed softly.

"oh?"

"Fellow Taoist said so. Could it be that something big has happened in the Central Territory recently?"

"But Gu received news that the intensity of the attack on Qanting Holy Land seems to have gradually weakened?"

With a flash of eyes, Liu Yu looked thoughtful and asked immediately.

"There is indeed a tendency for the crackdown to weaken."

"But starting from the destruction of the Buyi League headquarters, this attack that lasted for ten years has caused heavy losses to various organizations, and our army is no exception."

"Both the peripheral members and the core members are severely reduced, with more than 40% casualties."

Speaking of this, Xu Haoran frowned.

In the ten-year thunderous attack, no casual cultivator organization was exempted. The Purple Turban Army was also severely damaged and its power was severely reduced.

A long-planned attack on Qanting Holy Land has at least made the Purple Turban Army's decades of operations in vain.

According to Xu Haoran, in order to clean up this time, Qanting Holy Land had already planted secret agents to break into the major casual cultivators.

Therefore, once it was launched, the casual cultivators who were caught off guard suffered huge losses, and thousands of comrades died as a result.

"Fortunately, it was detected in time so that it would not have a greater impact."

"But from another perspective, it is not without benefits that all the secrets in Qanting Holy Land have been uncovered."

After hearing this, Liu Yu was silent for a few breaths before speaking to comfort him.

"Fellow Taoist from the ancient city, do you know why Qanting Holy Land did not pursue the victory and try to uproot our organization?"

Xu Haoran suddenly spoke and asked this question.

After speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Yu to answer, and said to himself:

"Because of the threat from the demon clan!"

"According to reliable information, the monsters entrenched in the six Annan continents have recently crossed the border of Lingzhou and are showing signs of approaching the "Monster Suppression City"."

"The demon clan's "King Court" located in the Eastern Wasteland is also ready to make a move."

"More than one monk witnessed that a high-level demon cultivator appeared dozens of miles away from the "Great Wasteland City" and seemed to have a tendency to invade the city."

Xu Haoran spoke very quickly, and spoke out this heavy news in one breath.

The 99 continents in the Central Region are vast and boundless, but they are surrounded by the endless Hengduan Mountains, isolated from the four regions and cannot be directly contacted.

Among the four demon tribes, the "Golden Crow Tribe" in the Eastern Wasteland is the strongest, so the demon tribe "Royal Court" has always been in the Eastern Wasteland.

In order to deal with the threat of the "Golden Crow Tribe", many fairy cities have been built on the eastern border of the Central Region since the ancient Heavenly Court era.

Among them, the "Great Wasteland City" is the most important. It has been repaired countless times over the past million years and has stood until now.

"So that's why the Qianting Holy Land seized the opportunity but did not try to eradicate it."

"I'm afraid it's because it wants to concentrate on dealing with the demon tribe, so it chooses to launch at this juncture to minimize internal risks."

A flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and Liu Yu murmured, digesting this shocking news.

But, what does this have to do with him? .
