Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 261 Three Autumn Events (two chapters in one)

"But isn't this the situation you envisioned the moment you decided to move closer to the Yan family?"

Without thinking about it for long, Liu Yu had already made a decision in her heart. Liu Yu smiled faintly, with clear black and white in her calm eyes.

This matter was decided and put into action as early as when Wangyue Xianyuan City was performing its second mission.

At this time, he will naturally not regret it and do inconsistent things, causing all his previous efforts to be wasted.

The power of this world belongs to itself, cruel and beautiful.

Even if Liu Yu is already a foundation-building monk, even if he has the Immortal Mansion, he still has to be careful, he still has many constraints, and he must abide by certain recognized "game rules."

Therefore, he will never carelessly show himself to be different, but instead strives to maintain an "ordinary" persona, doing what kind of things with whatever identity, and has maintained it from the Qi Refining Period to the present.

It is said that Liu Yu will develop on a normal track, gradually revealing his own advantages and values, gradually being accepted and integrated into the other courtyards, and may eventually enter the core.

But the world is always full of surprises. Because he saved Yan Kuer'er by chance, he had more and more contact with the Yan family and enjoyed many benefits.

At that time, he was still on the periphery among the monks in the foundation-building period of the other monastery, and was not taken seriously or cared for.

That's why there is a choice later.

When the value shown by oneself is limited, each monk has few choices. Most monks will choose to seize what is in front of them and what is most beneficial to them, and Liu Yu is no exception at this time.

What's more, among the three Yuanyang bloodlines, the family line has never been weak.

As for whether he will become an outcast one day?

Liu Yu was not worried.

As his cultivation strength increases, he will gradually reveal higher alchemy attainments, or value.

As long as you have the value to be used, and this value is high enough, you will never become an outcast!

And with the Immortal Palace in his possession, his advantages will become more obvious as he reaches later realms. Compared with other monks, his strength will only grow faster!

Maybe even before that, he had the ability to deal with various situations calmly.

What's more, he has already enjoyed many conveniences provided by the Yan family in Wangyue City. In the eyes of some of his peers, he may have already been labeled with certain labels. If he does not move closer to the Yan family and the family lineage at this time, will he be able to smoothly integrate into other people's lives? The core of the hospital’s lineage?

Accepting benefits from the Yan family but turning your elbows outward, not to mention other consequences, I'm afraid you will have to bear the label of "ungrateful".

Naturally, Liu Yu would not make such a short-sighted move that would not please both sides. If he really had the reputation of being "ungrateful", it would be tantamount to social death in the world of immortality, and he would be in trouble every step of the way.

It would be better to become a free and easy casual cultivator.

Although some of Liu Yu's ideas have changed more or less under the influence of "Essentials of Demonic Cultivation", but if you want to be successful in the world of immortality in Chu State, kindness, credit and other prestige are still very important.

Unless you give up the current situation that you have worked so hard to manage, and do a thorough demonic cultivation one by one.

Therefore, he must maintain these intangible assets well.

…

There is no time in the mountains, and there is no year in the cold weather.

In the small pond in the back mountain, lotus flowers of various colors bloomed three times. Three years just slipped through the fingers.

The cave on the top of the mountain, the practice room.

A young man wearing a black robe with an ordinary face and pale skin sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes closed tightly and he was practicing Qigong.

The blue light on his face was flickering, and his brows were slightly furrowed. It was obvious that he had reached a critical point in his luck.

The upper body trembled slightly, thin beads of sweat broke out from his forehead and other parts of his body, making his neatly combed hair wet.

"call"

Three hours later, the man's face gradually returned to calmness. With a breath of turbid breath, he opened his black and white eyes, and the bright light in his eyes flashed away.

This person is Liu Yu!

"The peak of the early stage of foundation building, the third demonic fire refining!"

Surging, pure mana flowed in the Dantian and meridians, and an unprecedented powerful feeling surged into my heart. Even the stars seen through the skylight no longer seemed so far away.

"Ahhhhh~"

Liu Yu's face was filled with joy, her heart was filled with excitement, and she couldn't help but look up to the sky and scream.

The roar echoed in the stone chamber for a long time, seeming to vent all the injustice in the past!

“Dreams make everything bearable.”

The real improvement in cultivation and the real strength made Liu Yu know that the path he was taking was the right one.

At this moment, he knew that all the frustrations, filthiness, sordidness, etc. he had experienced were worth it and could be endured; as long as he kept walking along the right path, all the setbacks would eventually turn into fuel for eternal life. Bear dazzling Tao fruits.

After a long time, the whistling stopped.

Liu Yu's eyes regained clarity, but their gaze was still bright. The turbulent waves in his heart gradually calmed down, turning into circles of ripples and finally dispersing invisible.

Perhaps it was due to an explosion of accumulated accumulation, perhaps a certain condition was reached unintentionally, or perhaps the opportunity arrived for some unknown reason.

In the past three years, Liu Yu's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds. He has reached the peak of the early stage of foundation building two years faster than expected. He has also completed the third magic fire refining, and his magic power has become even more pure.

The improvements brought about by his cultivation and demon fire refining have made his strength increase by 20 to 30% compared to three years ago.

And the middle stage of foundation building is not far away. As long as he makes up for the part of the mana cultivation that was consumed by the demon fire to refine the essence, in a few years, he is 80% sure to break through in one fell swoop.

This is a deep intuition.

After exhaling another breath, Liu Yu completely calmed down, got up and left the practice room, rinsed her body and put on a clean robe.

A lot has happened in these three years.

The first is the second Jade Pill Hall, which sells foundation-building elixirs. It was successfully opened two years ago. The store was finally opened outside the Yuanyang Sect, in the large-scale Jinxingfang City, five hundred miles east of the mountain gate.

Wuchang ran up and down to collect information about stores interested in selling in various markets, and then reported it to Liu Yu for a look.

Liu Yu then handed it over to Jiang Qiu Shui for an on-site inspection. After considering various conditions, the woman selected a good store in Jinxingfang City. He finally checked the results of the two of them and made the final decision after confirming that there were no problems.

The issue of bargaining was naturally left to Jiang Qiushui, and female cultivators were better at this aspect.

However, no matter what, the right to use a store in a large market such as Jinxingfang City is not much cheaper. It is a huge expense in a short period of time.

Coupled with Liu Yu's own cultivation consumption and other miscellaneous expenses, the spirit stones flowed out like running water, and the storage bags shriveled up. Now there are only more than 2,000 spirit stones left, reaching the highest number since the foundation was established. The level of poverty.

This was despite the fact that he had income from the Yudan Hall in Renhefang City and the Yan Family. He often changed his identity and went to various markets inside and outside the sect to sell Jingyuan Pills and Yangyuan Pills. A huge sum of spiritual stones.

It is worth mentioning that most of the spiritual herbs used to refine the Yangyuan Pill were gathered together, and the rest was gathered in the first year after returning to the sect.

The Yangyuan Pill is only the most common second-level elixir taken in the middle stage of foundation building. It is generally sold for 650 spirit stones per bottle, and the difficulty of refining is not much different from the ancient Qingyuan Pill.

With Liu Yu's current alchemy skills, he could easily refine it, and the success rate was gradually approaching 40%.

It has to be said that the Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra was of great help to Liu Yu in alchemy. Not only the alchemy techniques, but also many of the alchemy experiences and unique ideas also benefited him a lot.

No one can be generous when it comes to spiritual stones. After more than a month of long bargaining, Liu Yu finally bought the right to use the shop for fifty years for thirty thousand spiritual stones, an average of six hundred spiritual stones per year. of rent.

Although it was quite painful, in the long run, the investment in the spirit stone was still very necessary, so after both parties agreed, he quickly handed over and signed the contract.

The Hengduan Mountains are far wider than the imagination of ordinary monks, spanning more than a dozen large and small countries in the south and north, isolating Tiannan from the rest of the continent, and have branches in many countries.

The State of Chu is located in the northernmost part of Tiannan, adjacent to the Hengduan Mountains. Qingzhou and Jingzhou are located in the north of the State of Chu. Both states have more than a dozen branches of the Hengduan Mountains, large or small.

There are many Lingshan spirit veins in these branches, with powerful groups of monsters and beasts occupying and reproducing. The monsters in some branches are weak and were expelled and killed by human monks, and became the training ground of human monks, as well as the mountain gate of Yuanyang Sect. From this.

Due to various reasons, not all branches can be occupied by human monks. Some branches are still forbidden areas for human monks, and intruders will escape death.

Jinxingfang City was established dozens of miles away from a branch, and a relatively safe and stable channel to enter the branch was opened not far away. The branches here are very rich in resources for cultivating immortals. Although they are still dominated by monsters, the dominant position of monsters has been gradually shaken in the past thousand years, so more and more monks come here to take risks and earn money. .

There are many undeveloped branches of the Hengduan Mountains in Qingzhou, but there are only a few that are suitable for venturing into the mountains to hunt for treasures and hunt monsters, and even fewer have stable passages.

Jinxingfang City benefited from this and became more and more prosperous. It grew step by step from a small city at the beginning and became a large city today. Every year, many monks from other states of Chu came here to make a living, and there were also many monks coming and going in the city. more and more.

By opening the second Jade Alchemy Hall here, there is absolutely no need to worry about the sales of the elixirs, and because there are many monks coming from there, it is difficult to trace the sales, so the risk is much smaller.

As long as Jiang Qiushui can be trusted, he can sell a little more second-level elixirs. With this shop, the spiritual stone expenditure during the foundation building period is basically enough.

Currently, this woman is in charge of the Jinxing Jade Pill Hall, and she has full authority to handle affairs as the shopkeeper. Of course, Liu Yu also has to arrange a few people here, either explicitly or covertly. This is still very necessary.

As for the Yudan Hall in Renhefang City, it was left to Sun Ju to take care of it.

After more than 20 years of delay, this woman got her wish to "return to a regular job", but her expression at the time did not seem to be as happy as she imagined.

After cleaning her body and putting on new clothes, Liu Yu lay on the Grand Master's chair in the cave hall and smiled slightly at the thought.

Then he took out an illustrated book of rare spiritual herbs and elixirs collected by Jiang Qiushui, poured a pot of spiritual tea on it, and read through it comfortably.

In the first year, Wu Chang attacked the foundation, but failed as expected, and no miracle happened.

After the failure, his energy and energy obviously declined, and his whole person seemed to have aged ten years in a short period of time.

Wu Chang also completely gave up some thoughts and gave up practicing. However, he did not give up on himself, but tried his best to earn spiritual stones.

Liu Yu was quite pleased to see this, and even specially summoned Wu Chang to comfort him and point out a clear path for him.

He himself has no hope of immortality. He can pin his hopes on his descendants. He does not have to leave the sect. He can also find Taoist companions within the sect. However, if he wants to develop into a family, he will be subject to many restrictions and cannot be as free as an independent family. develop.

Finally, Liu Yu implicitly hinted that if Wu Chang stayed in the sect to develop and work honestly for himself, his descendants could take care of him if they had spiritual roots.

But Wu Chang was still hesitant. He couldn't make up his mind for a while and said he wanted to think about it.

This matter mainly depends on his own wishes, and it is not easy for others to force him.

However, from Liu Yu's point of view, if Wu Chang leaves the sect, it will take another ten or twenty years at most, which means that it will be gone as soon as it is used smoothly, and trust will be compromised.

But Wu Chang stayed in the sect to marry a wife and have children, so he could work for him throughout his life. Not only did it last for decades longer, but he also felt much more at ease when using it.

There is no doubt that the latter is more in Liu Yu's interests, so he said a few more words of comfort before sending him away.

Among the sects Liu Yu was once familiar with, only Jiang Qiushui succeeded in building the foundation, while the others all failed. Silinggen Weiheng is still in the middle stage of Qi refining and has no chance to even build the foundation.

As for Shang Chuanjiang, whom he is most familiar with, his contact with Liu Yu gradually decreased after Liu Yu established the foundation, and there seemed to be some estrangement. However, he has not yet attacked the foundation, and it seems that he is ready to give it a try when the opportunity is greatest.

But if he wants to break through the bottleneck of foundation building, it will only be in the past few years. Shang Chuanjiang is about the same age as Liu Yu, and is also close to the age of fifty, where Qi and blood rapidly weaken. If he doesn't give it a try, he will have no chance.

In the second year of the three years, Yan Kai came to visit him. He was well prepared with the Foundation Establishment Pill and had great luck. Not surprisingly, he had become a Foundation Establishment monk.

After building the foundation, this son remained humble, corrected his attitude and did not make any excuses. Apparently, he had not forgotten the good fortune he had in Wangyue City.

When a foundation-building monk wanted to get closer, Liu Yu naturally would not push him away, nor did he show off as a "senior foundation-building" person.

They "cordially" had a long chat with him over tea in the cave for a long time, talking about some of his experiences, and also gave Yan Kai some guidance on the cultivation methods in the foundation building period, as well as the taboos of cultivation.

Of course, compared with when Jiang Qiushui was given guidance, a lot has been deleted.

Finally, Liu Yu "accidentally" revealed that he was a second-level low-grade alchemy master and could already refine second-level low-grade elixirs. He also "generously" said that if Junior Brother Yan wants to buy cultivation elixirs in the future, he can just come to his senior brother. , for the sake of fellow disciples, I can sell a bottle of Jingyuan Pill to my fellow disciples every two years for the price of 420 spiritual stones.

Yan Kai was naturally overjoyed and said on the spot that he would never forget Senior Brother Liu's kindness, but he had to do it if he had to do something!

With this incident, the relationship between the two naturally got closer, and finally Liu Yu personally sent him out of the cave.

Thinking of Yan Kai's attitude, Liu Yu put down the rare spiritual grass illustrated book, left the cave and came to the highest point of Cailian Mountain. Facing the blowing evening breeze, he fell into calm thinking.

Although he received good karma due to the exchange of the Instant Thousand Miles Talisman and the gift of foundation-building experience, as well as other reasons, Yan Kai's foundation-building behavior showed that he was relatively close to him.

But when Liu Yu becomes a disciple of the Li family and joins the family lineage, can this closeness be maintained?

This is a question.
