Immortal Palace Longevity

Using the teleportation array to transfer on the way, and then flying at full speed at the speed of the Nascent Soul Stage, in just about three hours, the gate of the Yuanyang Sect was in sight.

Summoning the elders of the sect, Liu Yu personally issued orders one by one to maintain the stability of the sect.

As he became the only ancestor, the power of the Qingyang faction also rose.

Directly saving hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation, it was able to compete with the three major factions in one leap, and even obviously surpassed one, gradually becoming the new core.

One person's success brings success to the chickens and dogs!

In today's sect, Liu Yu's confidants firmly hold the power, and the three major factions are also very tactful to give up key positions.

Under such circumstances, the sect as a whole is naturally very stable.

In the classical and solemn hall, on the throne behind the eighteen steps, a cultivator in a black robe sat casually and said something slowly.

The calm and majestic voice spread throughout the hall.

Your Highness, more than a dozen Jindan elders stood with their hands down, quietly listening to the orders and lectures of the ancestor.

"If you have nothing to do, please leave."

After arranging everything, Liu Yu waved his hand casually.

He not only grasps the righteousness and orthodoxy, but also has the strongest strength, and he also has confidants of Qingyang in all levels.

Although he has been in charge of the sect for a short time, as long as proper arrangements are made, there will be no trouble for decades, and I believe there will be no dog-blood plot.

"Yes, disciple, take your leave."

Bowed and saluted, a group of Jindan elders respectfully accepted the order, and then slowly left the hall.

After leaving the hall, most of the elders surrounded Jiang Qiushui and Yan Qun'er, trying to test the old ancestor's thoughts and whether there were signs of "rectifying the sect".

In comparison, the three veins leaders who were originally surrounded by people only had one or two elders accompanying them.

At this moment, he seemed alone and had a sense of "the general situation is over".

The former "first elder" Changfeng Zhenren was among them.

But the failure of the infant formation had a huge impact. Compared with his high spirits back then, he now felt like he was lost in the crowd, and his influence was greatly reduced.

Since Yan Qun'er became the ancestor's concubine a year ago, along with the grand ceremony of taking concubines, the core of the family lineage has gradually shifted.

In the family lineage, Yan Qun'er's voice has greatly increased, while the influence of Changfeng Zhenren has been further weakened.

If you carefully distinguish the elders surrounding the two women, it is not difficult to find the difference.

Those who gathered around Yan Qun'er were mostly elders from the family lineage; those who gathered around Jiang Qiushui were mostly elders from the branch lineage.

After Liu Yu took charge of the sect, the open and secret struggles between factions will of course continue.

As long as the internal friction is not too serious, he is too lazy to spend energy to deal with it.

As long as the sect is still controlled by people, the internal struggle will never stop. This is an eternal law.

Even if the three veins are eliminated now, new factions will be born and continue to fight each other openly and secretly.

If we eliminate the family lineage now, it may become the "Yan family lineage" in the future. If we eliminate the branch lineage now, it may become the "Qiu Shui lineage" in the future.

In the end, it became a direct struggle between Yan Qun'er and Jiang Qiu Shui.

The struggle will never stop!

Just like the Yuan State, where most of the immortal cultivation resources are monopolized by the Yuanyang Sect, even if a new sect rules, the oppression and exploitation of the lower class of the entire immortal cultivation world will not stop.

Even if it is not ruled by the sect, and replaced by some "college" or "alliance", this will not change.

The family lineage is represented by Yan Qun'er, and the branch lineage is represented by Jiang Qiu Shui, and they can always convey some ideas to Liu Yu.

Although the influence in the sect has declined a lot, it still stabilizes the basic base.

As for the master-disciple lineage, since the sect changed dynasties, there is no one who can speak in front of the current ancestor, and the decline trend is very obvious.

Despite all the arrangements, the decline is still difficult to stop. Now, many monks from the master-disciple lineage have been squeezed out of some key positions in the sect.

The family lineage and the branch lineage, at this time, have a tacit understanding to add insult to injury.

After all, there are only a few positions in the sect with great power and a lot of money. The rise of the Qingyang lineage is unstoppable, and they have to give up some more or less.

If the master-disciple lineage vacates more positions, then they can't vacate fewer positions?

The alternation of the old and new Yuanying, the rise and fall of factions within the power, is really normal, and there are countless such examples.

Like the Yuanyang Sect in the past, the ancestor Tianfeng almost treated the three bowls of water equally, and it was rare for the three major factions to maintain a balance.

In most sects, the faction close to the Yuanying ancestor is the only one that dominates.

For example, the "Xuanbing Palace" has always been controlled by the family faction monks, and the "Nangong Family" has Yuanying Zhenjun born in every generation, firmly holding more than half of the discourse power of the Xuanbing Palace.

With Nangong Tian becoming a great cultivator, the power of the Nangong family has reached its peak. There are more than one Yuanying Zhenjun, and it is a real Yuanying family.

Sitting on the main seat in the hall, watching the Jindan elders outside the hall "forming cliques and factions", Liu Yu's face was very calm, and he was accustomed to all this.

He and Tianfeng have different ideas after all. He has no idea of ​​maintaining the original structure of the sect, and he also intends to support the power of his own line.

The rise and fall of factions is normal.

Liu Yu has no intention of saving the decline of the master-disciple lineage, and he has no strange idea of ​​taking another concubine.

Unless by chance, the sequelae of the practice suddenly occur

"However, with the advancement of Qi Refining to Yuanying, the sequelae of the practice seem to have been alleviated a lot."

"The Nascent Soul with a higher life form can completely suppress the restlessness of the physical body's Qi and blood, and it is difficult for the sequelae of the practice to suddenly occur."

"Unless the body refining is also promoted to the fourth level, it may be necessary to "harmonize yin and yang" again."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu flashed this thought.

Looking inward at Dantian, the six-inch green Nascent Soul is suspended on the sea of ​​mana, which can completely suppress any changes in the physical body and all the restlessness of the Qi and blood.

Unless the body refining is also promoted to the fourth level, it may be possible that it cannot be suppressed occasionally.

With a slight smile, Liu Yu eliminated distracting thoughts and no longer had "weird" thoughts.

He looked outside the hall, and from the golden elixir elders, he seemed to see the rise and fall of the Yuan Kingdom at this time.

At present, all small and medium-sized forces in the Yuan Kingdom, whether it is a sect or a family, or any other organization, must have connections with a cultivator or a lineage of the Yuanyang Sect.

Those who have no connection are either destroyed or marginalized, and it is impossible for them to have many resources.

With the rise of the Qingyang faction and the decline of the three major factions, those small and medium-sized forces are also destined to rise and fall.

In this change of the Yuanyang Sect, it is unknown how many forces will decline and how many forces will rise.

They did not choose to go all out, they could only accept the fate arranged.

Liu Yu did not do much to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The fate of tens of thousands of cultivators in the Yuan Kingdom and hundreds of millions of mortals has changed because of him, and they have embarked on another completely different path.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, he shook his head lightly and suddenly stood up, and the spiritual energy fluctuated and disappeared from the original place.

"The rise and fall of the country is due to me!"

In the empty and solemn sect hall, an inexplicable voice sounded late.

In the words, it seemed to be full of the vicissitudes of life, and its owner seemed to have seen the changes of the world.

...

Tongtian Peak.

The hall of the cave.

Liu Yu held a cup of spiritual tea in one hand and an ancient jade slip in the other, and a wisp of spiritual consciousness probed into it to examine it carefully.

After a few breaths, he put down the jade slip and shook his head slightly, looking a little helpless.

"It is indeed an "ancient recipe". Three or four percent of the spiritual herbs and medicines recorded in it have become extinct in hundreds of thousands of years."

"Even if I have an immortal palace, I only need to find the seeds of spiritual herbs and medicines, and it is impossible to refine them."

"This "Heling Pill" recipe cannot be successfully refined without a major improvement."

"A good cook cannot cook without rice."

Putting down the jade slip, Liu Yu was silent and completely dispelled the last bit of luck.

In some plots in the world of immortal cultivation, the stories that the later generations explored the caves of their predecessors and got the recipes and could use them immediately are indeed "beautiful fairy tales".

This "Heling Pill" recipe is indeed too "ancient". Three or four percent of the spiritual herbs and medicines have become extinct, and it is impossible even to find spiritual herb seeds.

If only a few spiritual herbs are missing, Liu Yu may still try it.

But if there is a lack of three or four percent, it is doomed to be futile to try to get it together. It is better to think about how to improve it.

"It seems that there are only a few ways to get the fourth-level pill formula."

"Either get it from Master Mo Mei, or improve it through the deduction of the Immortal Palace."

"Either mobilize the disciples of the sect to try their luck, or get it from other alchemy masters."

"But the fourth-level pill formula is not so easy to obtain. At present, Mo Mei's line is the most promising."

"If it doesn't work, we can only deduce it through the Immortal Palace."

"Specifically how to do it depends on the results in eighteen years, and then make plans."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu drank the spiritual tea in one gulp, got up and walked straight to the bathroom.

With the help of several maids, he took a comfortable bath and changed his clothes, and then came to the practice room to sit cross-legged.

Although there is no fourth-level pill, daily meditation and practice cannot be stopped.

The improvement of practice strength is not a one-day effort, but depends on day-to-day accumulation.

"It's a little slow, but I just got promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, which is the golden period for rapid growth of cultivation."

"After three years, I can improve my strength more or less."

"Besides, compared with other True Lords, I have another advantage, and my cultivation speed is always much faster."

On the futon, Liu Yu thought of this, and the light of the storage ring flashed, and an exquisite jade box appeared in front of him instantly.

Opening the lid, a Ganoderma lucidum lay quietly in it.

The appearance of this Ganoderma lucidum is crystal clear, like the finest jade, with circles of dark green natural lines on the surface, about the size of an adult's fist.

It is the thousand-year-old spiritual medicine "Bi Lingzhi"!

This medicine can grow to a maximum of a thousand years. Two hundred years of medicine age can be used as the main medicine for the foundation-building stage, and five hundred years can be used as the main medicine for the golden elixir stage.

Once it reaches a thousand years, it can be used as the main medicine for the fourth-level lower-grade elixir to help the Nascent Soul stage cultivators improve their cultivation.

Although there is no elixir formula, "Bi Lingzhi" as the main medicine, directly eating and refining it raw also has a certain effect of improving cultivation.

"Compared to refining into pills, the direct refining method is still inferior."

"If you eat it raw and refine it, the effect is at most 10% of the fourth-level low-grade pill, which is really too wasteful."

"Only I can practice so luxuriously. If it were other cultivators, even the True Lord of the Daqian Royal Family couldn't do it."

"Alchemy is indeed one of the greatest hundred arts of cultivating immortals."

Liu Yu sighed slightly as he picked up the Green Ganoderma Lucidum and looked at it carefully.

Only he could be so wasteful and directly take the spiritual medicine to practice.

"It is indeed a bit extravagant, but compared to sitting in meditation and refining Qi, taking spiritual medicine is a little faster to practice."

"And with the backing of the Immortal Palace, the price can be borne."

This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and he lowered his head and swallowed a green Ganoderma lucidum in a few mouthfuls.

Then he closed his eyes and immediately practiced the tenth level of Qingyang Gong to refine it.

The Ganoderma lucidum entered the stomach, and as the technique was running, a pure spiritual power that was extremely amazing to low-level cultivators soon emerged from the abdomen.

Under Liu Yu's precise control, it was quickly involved in the Great Zhoutian cycle.

It is worth mentioning that compared with the seventy-two cycles in the Jindan realm, the Yuanying realm has thirty-six more cycles.

However, these thirty-six cycles are not carried out in the physical body, but in the Yuanying state.

The Yuanying is a more advanced life form, and is no longer as "fragile" as the Jindan.

It can directly absorb and refine spiritual energy from the heaven and earth, and complete all the processes of refining spiritual energy into mana step by step.

However, the Nascent Soul is not a simple aggregation of mana, and still needs the nourishment of the physical body, so it still relies on the physical body to a large extent.

When practicing to a high level, the pursuit is a word of "purity", whether it is the physical body of mana or the Golden Core Nascent Soul.

Ordinary cultivators have not yet noticed it, but in the eyes of the Nascent Soul True Lord, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is full of "impurities".

Although the Nascent Soul can further condense and purify the mana, and even independently complete all the processes of refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into mana, it cannot be done too frequently for a long time.

If it lasts too long, the Nascent Soul will also be "polluted" by the spiritual energy. If this pollution is not removed in time, it may even make it difficult to make any progress in cultivation.

Therefore, if you want to improve your cultivation, the physical body is indispensable.

Relatively speaking, the Nascent Soul is still somewhat fragile. If you want to reach the "other shore", you still need the protection of the "boat".

Therefore, although you can be away from the physical body for several months when practicing the Nascent Soul realm, looking at the history of the immortal world, there are really not many cultivators who would choose to abandon the physical body.

Even if you want to switch to the "ghost path", you have to think carefully. "It is difficult for a ghost spirit to become a saint after ten thousand calamities" is not an empty statement.

If the orthodox cultivation of immortals is a broad road, then the road of ghost cultivation is an even more bumpy and rugged path.

If there is no choice, no immortal cultivator will specialize in the ghost path.

Moreover, not every immortal cultivator can switch to the ghost path. At least the cultivation must reach the golden elixir realm to have a greater success rate.

Or, there are some other opportunities that succeed by chance.

Back to the point, the seventy-two great Zhoutian cycles are borne by the physical body, which can effectively prevent the impurities in the spiritual energy from polluting the Nascent Soul.

Liu Yu naturally would not have any strange idea of ​​abandoning the physical body.

Although the speed of absorbing and refining spiritual energy in the Nascent Soul state is indeed faster, even far beyond the physical body.

But if there is no physical body, the Nascent Soul is still too fragile and cannot last forever in the world. This is always a more difficult path.

After the physical body cycles seventy-two times and the Nascent Soul cycles thirty-six times, a total of one hundred and eight cycles are completed, the tenth level of Qingyang Gong is considered to have completed one cycle.

The number of cycles has indeed increased by thirty-six times.

However, in the Nascent Soul state, the thirty-six cycles are extremely fast, and the Nascent Soul's mana is more condensed, so the speed of operation is also faster.

Therefore, the time spent on each Great Zhoutian cycle is still not much different from that in the Golden Core Realm.
