Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 203 The number of deaths (two chapters in one)

"Junior Brother Liu, wait!"

Xie Junjie put down his teacup and said.

Ordinary blank jade slips are not worth a few spiritual stones at all. Using a blank jade slip to copy a pill recipe can get more than two thousand spiritual stones. This kind of transaction is rare. He just wanted to take the opportunity to see if there are more. Just the benefits.

Seeing that the spirit stone in his hand was about to fly away, Xie Junjie didn't care so much. The embarrassed expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and he immediately spoke out to save him:

"A gentleman has the inherent beauty of adulthood. Since Junior Brother Liu is obsessed with the art of alchemy, he is also sincere."

"Okay, I agree to this deal."

"However, Junior Brother Liu and Senior Sister Yan have to agree on one condition. This matter must not be spread outside, and it cannot affect the transaction between me and my good friend."

"If both of you agree not to let this matter go public, then we can proceed with the transaction right away."

Xie Junjie made a good calculation. As long as this matter is not spread out, it will not affect the secondary sale of the alchemy inheritance, and he can also use this to earn another amount of resources for cultivating immortals.

After hearing this, Liu Yu stretched out Lingshi's hand, paused, and then took it back.

"Have you finally lost your composure? Haha."

However, if you use a blank jade slip to copy a foundation-building elixir recipe, you can get 2,500 spirit stones. There is no need to make a guarantee or swear an inner demon oath, and it will not affect the resale.

Liu Yu smiled coldly in his heart, predicting that this person's greed would not let go of this opportunity.

In other words, if this person wants more spiritual stones, at worst they will fall apart, and he will never give in again.

"Thank you very much for your help. Liu is very grateful."

"This transaction will never be spread to the outside world. Please rest assured, Brother Xie."

Liu Yu was "overjoyed" when he heard this and quickly promised.

Xie Junjie nodded when he saw this, then turned to look at Yan Hongyu.

"Thank you, Junior Brother, for your peace of mind. I'm just accompanying Junior Brother Liu here to connect the two of you."

"As for this transaction, I will never mention a word to others."

Seeing him looking over, Yan Hongyu said calmly, with a calm and powerful tone, and a convincing demeanor.

"good!"

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Xie Junjie stopped inking and immediately took out two jade slips, one old and one new, from his storage bag and started burning.

The old jade slip naturally records the Huang family's alchemy inheritance, while the new jade slip is used to record the foundation-building elixir recipe.

The monks burned information into the jade slips very quickly, not to mention that there was not much information to be burned this time.

Xie Junjie completed the inscription of the elixir in just three or four breaths and handed the new jade slip to Liu Yu.

Now that the three of them have reached a consensus, he naturally wants to get this spiritual stone quickly.

After all, 2,500 spirit stones are still a large amount of money even for a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. It is enough to buy several bottles of elixirs for practice and maintain a period of luxurious practice.

After the jade slip was caught, Xie Junjie spoke again:

"The prescription inside has been repeatedly confirmed before being copied to ensure that there are no omissions or deletions."

"Junior Brother Liu, please check carefully. If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

"If you encounter any problems afterwards, don't come to me again. I won't be responsible if I don't know how to make alchemy."

Liu Yu didn't reply. He took the jade slip and put it against his forehead. His spiritual sense penetrated it and began to examine it.

With his current attainments in alchemy, it would undoubtedly be a fool's errand to just rely on theory to identify whether there is any problem with a foundation-building elixir without refining the elixir several times.

We can only roughly infer whether there is any problem with the elixir based on the ratio of the elixir, combined with changes in medicinal properties and the process of refining the elixir.

Of course, to truly confirm that there is no problem, you have to refine the elixir several times before you can be sure.

In this alchemy inheritance of the Huang family, a total of six foundation-building alchemy recipes were recorded, three in the early stage of foundation building, two in the middle stage of foundation building, and one in the late stage of foundation building.

They are the Jing Yuan Dan, Lian Qi Powder, and Yuan Ning Dan used in the early stage of foundation building; the Yang Yuan Dan and Zeng Yuan Dan used in the middle stage of foundation building; and the Sheng Yuan Dan used in the later stage of foundation building.

Among them, Liu Yu already had the prescriptions for Jing Yuan Dan and Yang Yuan Dan, but the four prescriptions for Lian Qi Powder, Ning Yuan Dan, Zeng Yuan Dan, and Sheng Yuan Dan had not been seen before.

Even if two of the prescriptions are duplicates of the existing ones, as long as the other four are genuine, Liu Yu will definitely not be at a loss.

If it were not for the good time of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, Xie Junjie was not an alchemist who did not pay enough attention to this kind of thing, and only wanted to exchange for spiritual stones. Liu Yu would never have been able to trade these for the price of 2,500 spiritual stones. Danfang.

His spiritual consciousness swept through the jade slip, and he finished reading the information in less than a breath. Liu Yu put down the jade slip.

Leaving his consciousness to observe the external situation, he closed his eyes openly and began to infer whether the four pills had been tampered with.

The changes caused by the combination of various medicinal properties were extremely complicated, and it was not easy to deduce. It took about a cup of tea before Liu Yu really opened his eyes.

He nodded slightly to Yan Hongyu and Xie Junjie, indicating that there was nothing wrong with the prescription.

The prescriptions of Jing Yuan Dan and Yang Yuan Dan have already been recorded in my mind. After a little comparison, I can tell that there are no problems. After inference, no problems were found in the other four prescriptions.

On the one hand, Liu Yu also felt that the possibility of problems with the alchemy formula in the alchemy inheritance was extremely small. After all, it was personally managed by the elder of the Huang family's alchemy hall.

When Xie Junjie saw that Liu Yu had no problems after the examination, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he was slightly happy in his heart.

But he still had a calm expression on his face, and put the spiritual stones and resources on the table into his storage bag one by one.

A full 2,500 spiritual stones were put into his bag, which made him feel very good.

You must know that in addition to magic weapons, the average spiritual stone in the storage bag of a monk in the middle stage of foundation building is only about one or two thousand, and many monks in the early stage of foundation building even have less than a thousand.

The spoils of the Huang family, plus the two thousand spirit stones that had just been accounted for, and the complete alchemy inheritance was sold for another large sum of spirit stones. How could this not make him excited?

For a moment, Xie Junjie had the illusion that the road to immortality was not as difficult as he imagined.

The future seems bright.

After reaching this deal, the three of them felt that they had made a profit. Naturally, they were in a good mood. They sat down again, filled their cups with tea, and started chatting again.

For a time, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

The atmosphere became harmonious, time gradually passed without realizing it, and a cup of spiritual tea slowly bottomed out.

"Senior Sister Yan, you are a disciple of the Jindan family, so you must have better information than us ordinary foundation-building monks."

"I have a few questions that I would like to ask you. Is it inconvenient?"

While chatting, Xie Junjie suddenly put down his tea cup and said to Yan Hongyu solemnly.

"If there is any inconvenience, we are all brothers in the same discipline. Of course I know everything and will tell you everything."

A look of surprise flashed across Yan Hongyu's face, but her words were spoken flawlessly.

She knows everything and says everything, but even if she doesn't say it, just treat it as if she doesn't know what it means?

This thought flashed through Xie Junjie's mind, but the smile on his face remained unchanged and he said slowly:

"Because of the medium-sized spirit stone mine at the junction of Qingjing, our world of immortal cultivation in Chu State has been plunged into civil war for more than twenty years."

"I would like to ask Senior Sister, what are the true casualties of our sect?"

"How many of our colleagues have died in the foundation-building period? How many thousands of disciples have died in the Qi-refining period?"

"In my opinion, senior sister, how long will this war last?"

After Liu Yu heard this, he also suppressed his smile and adjusted his sitting posture so that he could look at Yan Hongyu. This issue was exactly what he was concerned about.

Yan Hongyu heard the words but did not reply immediately. She held her chin in a fist and looked down at the table as if she was deep in thought.

It wasn't until several breaths passed that he spoke out some accurate death messages:

"According to records, during the twenty-year civil war, thirty-five of our sect's foundation-building comrades have fallen. With the affiliated forces and the recruited casual cultivators, the number of fallen foundation-building monks is close to sixty."

"As for the monks in the Qi Refining Stage, even more have died. Close to three thousand disciples of our sect have died, while the number of affiliated forces and casual cultivators will only be even greater. The total number is at least five to six thousand."

"Because the main battlefield is at the junction of Qingzhou and Jingzhou, our Yuanyang Sect and Hehuan Sect will suffer greater losses in the fight, but the other three major sects also have monks attacking each other in other continents, so the losses will not be too small. .”

When Yan Hongyu said this, her tone was inexplicably heavy, as if she was thinking of something bad. After a while, she continued:

"We, Yuanyang Sect, only have 400 foundation-building monks on our side, and our losses have been close to one-tenth. If we continue to fight, we will really hurt our muscles and bones."

"The situation of other sects is similar. They cannot bear such losses."

"So I believe that this war cannot continue endlessly. It can take as long as ten years or as short as three to five years. There will definitely be a result."

"And this result has nothing to do with us Foundation Establishment monks. It must be a decision made by the Jindan seniors of the five major sects and even the Yuan Ying ancestors together."

"We only need to fulfill our duties for the sect and do our part."

When Liu Yu heard this, his heart moved and he fell into thinking.

According to Yan Hongyu, this war cannot last much longer, otherwise it will inevitably cause a large number of losses to the backbone of the sect's foundation-building monks, which will be extremely detrimental to the development of the sect, and may even lead to a serious situation of stagnation.

And those affiliated forces are even worse. It's okay to have multiple foundation-building monks in a family or sect. If there is only one foundation-building monk, after the death of the only foundation-building monk, wouldn't it mean that the strength will immediately drop to another level?

Without the suppression of the foundation-building monks, the corresponding small sects and small families would disappear immediately, and they would not be able to survive in the cruel world of immortality.

This world of immortality has always been cruel. If the immortality world of Chu State loses too much power due to civil war, it is likely to be invaded by the immortality worlds of other countries. It is not impossible that the sect will be destroyed and Chu State will be annexed. .

Liu Yu could think of this, and of course the top leaders of the five major sects could also think of it. From this perspective, the war should not last too long.

"After listening to Senior Sister's words, I suddenly felt enlightened."

"In this case, as long as we survive for a few more years, the day when we can return to our clan is not far away."

Xie Junjie was in a good mood and said with a smile on his face. After that, he personally poured a cup of spiritual tea for Yan Hongyu.

He received a large amount of spiritual stones and resources during this trip. What he wants to do most right now is to calm down and practice hard, convert the spiritual stones and resources into realm strength as soon as possible, and prepare to launch an impact in the later stage of foundation building.

The three of them chatted quite enthusiastically again, as if they had become "good friends", and just like that, another half-quarter of an hour passed.

It wasn't until the cup of tea bottomed out again that Liu Yu gave up, so the two of them got up to say goodbye and left Xie Junjie's room.

"Thank you, senior brother, for staying. Liu will leave now!"

After walking out of the room, Liu Yu slightly cupped her hands towards Xie Junjie, indicating that there was no need to send him far away.

He didn't want to spend too much time on useless communication. If he had this time, he might as well open two more furnaces to refine the elixir.

Yan Hongyu also nodded lightly and waved to stay.

Xie Junjie sent the two of them to the door, smiled and said:

"Then I'll send you off not far away. I had a great time chatting with Senior Sister Yan and Junior Brother Liu today. After everyone returns to Wangyue City, you can also walk around a little more!"

In his eyes, Yan Hongyu has cultivation and background, and Liu Yu is an alchemist with financial resources, so they are worth making friends with.

The two of them nodded when they saw this, turned and left without saying anything, and did not stop until they reached Yan Hongyu's door.

"Senior Sister Hongyu, you are so petty and disrespectful."

Liu Yu took off a low-grade storage bag from her waist, handed it to Yan Hongyu, and said with a smile.

It contained low-level immortal cultivation resources worth four hundred spirit stones, which were trophies obtained from the Huang family.

It can be regarded as a favor fee for Yan Hongyu. After all, getting the foundation-building pill formula so smoothly is partly due to this woman's face.

This was a benefit that was agreed upon in advance. Yan Hongyu took the storage bag directly without being polite.

Feeling the weight of the storage bag in her hand, a smile appeared on her face and she said in a joking tone:

"As an alchemist, Junior Brother Liu is indeed different from ordinary monks. He is quite generous in his actions, unlike some people in the sect who are too fussy about things."

As the contact time between the two increased, they became familiar with each other, and it didn't hurt to make some small jokes.

"How can Liu be called generous?"

"As I just said, this is my last savings."

"But in order to make progress in alchemy, I still have to invest in spiritual stones!"

Liu Yu said with a wry smile, he didn't want to be labeled like this.

At this time, he showed off his acting skills that he had honed over the years and used them naturally. His expressions and movements were completely controlled by his heart, making it impossible for ordinary monks to see any flaws.

"Giggle."

Yan Hongyu glanced at Liu Yu up and down, seemingly with deep meaning.

But he just chuckled and did not dwell on this issue. He waved his hand slightly and turned around and entered the room.

Seeing this, Liu Yu shook her head helplessly. At this time, she could not guess what this woman was thinking at all.

But looking back on what I had done, I felt that there were no big flaws, so I didn't think much about it and turned around and walked towards my room.

…

With Guiyuanzhou flying at full speed, in less than eighteen hours, the tall and majestic black city wall of Wangyue Xianyuan City appeared in sight.

"Rumble"

The flying boat stopped on an open space not far from the city gate, then slowly landed with a huge noise, and finally stabilized completely.
