Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 303 Strength Level (three in one chapter)

The latter is a second-level mid-grade elixir for restoring mana. It can be taken during a spell fight and can be converted into mana without special refining.

In a very short period of time, it can restore one-third of the mana below the peak of foundation building, which is of extremely high practical value.

In fact, there are many mana-restoring elixirs on the market that can also restore mana quickly, but they have various flaws and limitations. The biggest limitation is that they require active refining.

But in the fierce battle, how could the enemy cultivator give this time to refine it?

Therefore, the mana-restoring elixirs on the market are too limited, not very practical, and not very expensive.

But Zizhidan is different. It can restore mana during the battle, which is equivalent to one-third more mana than a monk of the same level, which is equivalent to increasing its strength in disguise.

If two monks are in a fierce fight, one has taken the Purple Zhi Dan, and the other is slowly absorbing the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone, it is self-evident which one will be exhausted first.

Therefore, although only one elixir like Zizhi Pill can be taken within three days, it is definitely a rare treasure for monks who are about to go to the battlefield. It may be able to kill powerful enemies at critical moments.

With this elixir in hand, Liu Yu would not have to worry about not being able to exchange for what he needs.

He calmly touched the two elixirs in the storage bag. Originally, he just wanted to refine a few bottles for spare use, but unexpectedly the value suddenly increased significantly, and he had some expectations for this exchange meeting.

Moving slowly, stopping for a while from time to time, Liu Yu glanced at the stalls along the way and carefully screened the items placed on them.

The most sought-after items now are undoubtedly all kinds of things that can increase strength, such as powerful talismans, powerful magic weapons, talismans made of magic weapons, etc.

In contrast, various raw materials such as spiritual herbs, elixirs, Qi refining materials, formation materials, etc. are obviously "deserted".

The price of the former has gone up two or three levels and there are still monks buying it, but the latter is selling at a somewhat low price at this time.

This time Chu and Qi attacked Yan together and had an absolute advantage in strength, but all the monks had no intention of taking it lightly.

The State of Yan is also one of the "Nine Great Countries". It is larger than the State of Chu in terms of size, and it also has the home field advantage.

Although no monk thinks that it can withstand the alliance's attack, some casualties are inevitable, and there may even be heavy casualties. This is the consensus of all monks.

No monk wants to be one of the "casualties", so they are trying to increase their strength as much as possible, and some even take out the treasures at the bottom of the box.

Liu Yu wandered among the various stalls, searching hungrily for what he wanted. He accepted all the spiritual herbs that were not available in the Immortal Mansion and collected them all in a low-key manner.

Although he had the two "magic weapons" of Black Jade Intermittent Pill and Purple Zhi Pill in hand, he did not take them out easily and only used them when exchanging some rare spiritual herbs.

If it is just ordinary spiritual grass, try to exchange it with common things such as spiritual stones and cultivation elixirs.

Black Jade Intermittent Pill and Purple Zhidan are two spiritual herbs that have been refined for close to the 500 years that Golden Pill monks can use them. For most foundation-building monks, they are out-and-out high-age spiritual herbs. .

Even a second-level alchemist who is highly skilled in alchemy may not be able to collect a few refining materials in his lifetime, let alone refining them in large quantities.

If it suddenly leaks out in large quantities, it will definitely attract the attention of some monks.

Of course Liu Yu would not do such a thing that might reveal the secrets of the Immortal Mansion.

Therefore, it was only used as a bargaining chip in the exchange of rare spiritual herbs, and in order to prevent frequent transactions from attracting the attention of interested people, he left several times in the middle and changed into the costumes of disciples of other sects to conduct transactions.

It wasn't until he finally looked at all the stalls and was no longer ready to take action that he changed into his original appearance and reappeared at the exchange meeting.

A bearded man, a muscular man, and a lean old man. Unbeknownst to the monks, he changed his appearance, body shape, and clothing, sweeping away the spiritual herbs inventory of the monks in the field.

Of course, these spiritual herbs and elixirs are not available in the Immortal Mansion, and a maximum of two of each species can be purchased symbolically.

No monks specifically identified themselves at the exchange meeting. As long as they were monks from the Five Sects, they could participate, so no one noticed Liu Yu's "little moves".

Time passed slowly, and after a few hours, the monks here left one after another, and the number of people gradually became fewer and fewer.

Liu Yu also took Jiang Qiushui back to the cave where she temporarily settled, collected her harvest, and said goodbye to the woman regardless of her resentful eyes.

In the cave, he waved his sleeves and more than thirty jade boxes appeared on the table.

Looking at these jade boxes, Liu Yu showed a smile on her face.

In one operation, he harvested thirty kinds of spiritual herbs that were not found in the Immortal Mansion, as well as four kinds of spiritual herbs for refining gold-forming elixirs. It had to be said that it was a big surprise.

"Now that we have gathered the spiritual herbs for refining the Yuan Sheng Dan, we can start refining it sometime."

"Moreover, we have collected less than half of the spiritual herbs needed to refine the other two elixirs, which saves a lot of effort at once."

This thought flashed across Liu Yu's mind, and she couldn't help but look happy.

Sheng Yuan Dan, like Jing Yuan Dan and Yang Yuan Dan, is the most common cultivation elixir in the foundation building stage and is suitable for monks in the later stage of foundation building.

The prescriptions for these three kinds of elixirs are relatively easy to obtain. They are available in the hands of many second-level alchemists. They are also available in the Yuanyang Zong Sutra Pavilion. You only need to reach a certain level of cultivation and spend some spiritual stones to restore them at the upper level of the Sutra Pavilion. Just click.

"It's a pity that even talisman treasures appeared in this exchange meeting, but there were no top-quality defensive spiritual weapons."

Liu Yu thought with some regret.

With his current state, he can already exert most of the power of the best spiritual weapons. He already has the Molten Knife for attack, but he still lacks one of the best spiritual weapons for defense.

If a configuration of one offense and one defense can be formed, both strength and self-protection will be greatly enhanced.

If a high-quality defensive spiritual weapon really appears at the exchange meeting, then it is worth raising a high profile and taking some risks.

As for Fu Bao, he was not very keen on it and had no intention of taking action for it.

Without him, there are already three talismans in the storage bag, namely the snow silk needle talisman, the diamond halberd talisman and the purple bell talisman.

Among them, the remaining power of the Snow Silk Needle Talisman and the Purple Bell Talisman can only be used once, while the remaining power of the Diamond Halberd Talisman can be used exactly twice.

With Liu Yu's current state, it is already the limit to offer two talismans at the same time, and now he has three talismans in his hand. Even if he adds one more talisman, he will not be able to increase his strength much.

Therefore, there is no need for this at the moment.

Next, he checked the harvest and sorted out the magic weapons, spiritual weapons, talismans, etc. he currently owned, as well as the various means he owned.

The magical weapons include: Zimu Soul Chasing Blade, Sharp Gold Sword, Shining Gold Bow, Thick Earth Sky Umbrella, and Escape Wind Boat.

The spiritual weapons include: Li Xuan Sword, Green Dragon Halberd, Netherworld Soul-Severing Cone, White Snow Whisk, and Molten Fire Knife.

In terms of secret techniques, there are Qingyang Demonic Fire and Shocking God Thorn. In terms of talismans, there are three Golden Wind Scattered Talisman, a Dark Extinguishing Fire Meteor Talisman, an Instant Thousand Miles Talisman, and three Yin Lei Zi.

Plus three talismans.

Liu Yu tried all the methods, mentally evaluated the approximate power of all methods, and what method was suitable under what circumstances, and had a rough idea of ​​his own strength.

With the pure magic power of Demon Fire Refining Elements and sophisticated spiritual weapons, he estimated that he would be able to defeat ordinary late-stage foundation-building monks without holding anything back.

If all the trump cards are used, it is possible to defeat two late-stage foundation-building monks at the same time, but there is still a long way to go compared to the top monks in the foundation-building realm such as the Three Heroes and Four Heroes.

His current strength is different from that of Changfeng Zhenren's personal disciple Li, and the gap should not be very big.

Of course, this is under the condition that its strength has not improved much compared to that of the past.

However, this is only Liu Yu's preliminary estimate after all. It can only be used as a reference and cannot be used as a basis for action, otherwise he will surely die.

Apart from anything else, if you have a trump card, other monks can’t have a trump card?

The gap between large realms represents a huge difference in strength, but the gap between small realms is not insurmountable.

A monk in the same big realm, but one in a higher realm is not necessarily better than a monk in a lower realm. It depends on the individual.

Realm can represent strength, but it cannot completely represent strength. Otherwise, when fighting, it would be enough to compete with realm.

Liu Yu divided the strength of the foundation-building monks into three levels in his mind, based on their true strength.

They are ordinary monks, elite monks, and top monks.

Ordinary monks are average in strength at the same level, they don't have particularly powerful secret techniques or methods, and their performance is quite satisfactory.

Such as Yan Kai, Cui Liang, Jiang Qiushui, etc., compared to other foundation-building monks in the sect, there is nothing outstanding.

Elite monks are considered to be the best. They can defeat ordinary monks relatively easily. They generally have practiced extraordinary skills and possess good magic weapons and spiritual weapons.

For example, Li BuTong, whom I have met before, is one of the best among the elite monks. He is probably practicing top-level techniques and possesses top-grade spiritual weapons.

As for the top monks, they refer to the Three Heroes and Four Heroes, the Six Sons of Hehuan, and the Seven Swords of the Waning Moon. They have solid records and no obvious shortcomings in all aspects.

When facing ordinary monks and elite monks, they are often able to outnumber the enemy and even defeat them head-on. It is a majestic crushing!

However, the strength of the monks in the late stage of foundation building is obviously much better than that of the monks in the early and middle stages. In comparison, it is indeed "not ordinary". It is not appropriate to say that they are ordinary monks.

Moreover, being able to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building is considered excellent in the realm of foundation building. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an excellent monk.

Ordinary monks, outstanding monks, elite monks, top monks.

This is the division of strength of monks in the foundation-building stage in Liu Yu's mind. Every time he comes into contact with a monk, he will subconsciously think about the level of his strength.

Of course this is not rigorous, it is just a classification based on his own standards, and he has no intention of telling others his standards.

According to this set of standards, Liu Yu feels that his strength is probably at the elite level, and he is already considered a very small minority in the foundation-building realm.

If you want to protect yourself in the upcoming battle of the Yan Kingdom, if you want to collect spiritual grass seeds and plunder various resources in the Yan Kingdom, given your current strength, you only need to keep a low profile, and it is still very feasible.

As long as you are not unlucky enough to encounter a Golden elixir monk, or be attacked by many monks of the same level, you will still have a good chance of saving your life with various trump cards.

Chaos is the ladder to ascend!

It was precisely because of the growth of his own strength that Liu Yu started to think carefully and wanted to seek benefits in the next chaos!

After sorting out the contents of the storage bag, he put the harvested thirty-four kinds of spiritual herbs into the Immortal Mansion.

He also used magic power to carefully warm up the magic weapons and spiritual weapons. Two or three hours had passed.

Liu Yu took out the Baicao Dan book again and started reading it.

…

Two days passed in a flash, and the atmosphere on Kongsang Mountain was calm and depressing.

The caves of the one hundred and fifty foundation-building monks of Yuanyang Sect are not far from each other, and they usually communicate very frequently, but there is no relaxed expression on their faces, and their actions are full of solemnity and depression.

Liu Yu, Jiang Qiushui, Yan Kai, and Cui Liang were also sitting opposite each other in a small pavilion, talking about what was about to happen.

"According to Cui, our attitude must be tough when facing the Immortal Cultivation Family of Yan State!"

"Some cultivating families are inextricably linked to the four major sects of the Yan Kingdom, and they are even the disciples of the sects who go out to spread their branches."

"When the senior officials of the four major sects in the Yan Kingdom are confirmed to have been bribed and controlled by evil spirits, it is difficult to say that they have no problems."

"I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

"Otherwise, it must be a big hidden danger, which may lead to a large increase in casualties!"

Speaking of this, Cui Liang's face became unusually serious and he said extremely seriously.

"Senior Brother Cui, is this too extreme?"

Yan Kai's eyes flashed with confusion and hesitation, and then he said.

"Ha~, extreme?"

"If you choose to be kind to them, it will be our sect disciples who die."

"Junior Brother Yan, what do you think we are in their eyes?"

Cui Liang sneered and said mockingly.

Then, without waiting for an answer, he continued:

"Intruder, invader!"

"This time the Yan Kingdom has turned to the righteous way, and the Nan Yu Kingdom has turned to the evil way. Do you think that after Chu and Qi have eliminated the immortal cultivating forces in the Yan Kingdom, they will withdraw?"

"How can there be any reason to spit out the fat that reaches your mouth?"

"Perhaps Yan State will still be Yan State, or perhaps it will cease to exist from now on!"

This is the truth. Yan Kai fell into silence after hearing this. He instinctively felt that this approach was inconsistent with his ideas, but he could not find a reason to refute it.

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

"We are in a different position from the Yan State. In order to avoid harm to the disciples of the sect, we must not be merciful."

"But it doesn't have to be too bloody or extreme. It still has to vary from person to person."

Liu Yu gently raised her hand, interrupted what Cui Liang was about to say, and said calmly.

After conquering Guque City, they will officially enter the Yan Kingdom and come into contact with the large and small forces in the Yan Kingdom. Therefore, they have discussed four or five times in the past two days how to deal with the large and small forces in the Yan Kingdom.

He also talked many times with many fellow disciples he knew. He listened to these fellow disciples "pointing out the country" and kept the useful things in his mind.

"Senior Brother Liu is right, Qiu Shui thinks so too."

"But after all, we are new to Yan State. It will undoubtedly be much easier if we can have a few local snakes to guide us."

"There is no need to show mercy to the monks who resist us!"

"But for monks who "surrender" to us, we can give certain preferential treatment depending on the situation. I believe it can reduce a certain amount of resistance."

Jiang Qiushui smiled slightly and said.

She neither chose the right nor the left, but chose a compromise.

"Can."

Cui Liang seemed to have suffered a big loss in this regard, and he opened his mouth to say something else.

But just when he was about to speak, there was movement in several people's storage bags, causing him to hold back the words he was about to say.

Liu Yu's expression changed, and he immediately took out the sect token as soon as he touched the storage, and a ray of spiritual consciousness penetrated into it to read the information.

"All Foundation Establishment disciples, hurry to the Cangwu Ship!"

A cold and heartless message came from the sect token, which shocked the hearts of all the Yuanyang Sect monks.

"The day has come!"

Liu Yu thought in his heart, and then stood up suddenly.

No monk noticed that there was a hint of excitement hidden in his calm eyes.

The other three people also stood up one after another with solemn faces, understanding from each other's eyes that they had received the same message.

Suddenly, Liu Yu keenly noticed the fluctuation of energy and suddenly looked towards the sky.

Cangwu ship, Xuemei ship, Daoyuan ship, Hongmeng ship, Sword God ship!

The five spiritual ships rose into the sky again, changed to a size of more than ten feet, and floated quietly above Kongsang Mountain.

They exude aura wantonly, and their power is more powerful than many golden elixir monks.

The ship's body of more than ten feet is inconspicuous in front of Kongsang Mountain, which is hundreds of feet high, but it has a strong sense of presence, as if they are more obvious than the tall mountain peaks.

This gave the monks the illusion that they were as tall as the mountain peaks.

No! Even taller than this third-level spiritual mountain.

Liu Yu and the three of them nodded to each other, touched the storage bag and took out the Soul-Chasing Blade, and flew towards the Cangwu with the escape light.

As for the temporary cave, there is no need to pack it up at all. The items inside are complete and there is no need to prepare anything.

After staying for just two days, not even a hair was left behind. Everyone left when they wanted to, and there was no need to pack anything.

In the night sky, streaks of escaping light soared into the sky, converging towards the five spirit ships, and landed on the decks one by one.

"See you elders, my disciples are always at your disposal!"

After landing on the deck, all the monks saluted respectfully.

"No need to be polite, the attack on Guque City will begin soon."

"I'm going to tell you something ugly earlier. If anyone dares to escape from battle, he will be punished immediately for treason. I will kill him personally. Do you understand?"

Master Changfeng's majestic eyes glanced around, and his faint words reached the ears of all the monks.

"Disciple understands!"

This time, all the monks spoke in unison, which was quite impressive.

Seeing this, Master Changfeng nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied, and then stopped talking. The other elders also had no intention of speaking.

One hundred and fifty foundation-building monks were ready to go. The ten golden elixir elders were all on the deck at this time, and their expressions were serious. It seemed that they were ready to take action.

The five major spirit ships were at the same height. Liu Yu turned to look at the other spirit ships and saw a similar situation, except that some Jindan monks were still lecturing.

Needless to say, the execution ability of the immortal cultivators goes without saying. Under the personal supervision of Elder Jindan, no monk dared to neglect. In less than half a quarter of an hour, all the monks boarded the spiritual ship again.

"buzz"

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the Cangwu ship formed a protective shield around it the moment it started. In the blink of an eye, it was already more than ten miles away.

Other spirit ships were not willing to lag behind and followed suit one after another.

Like a meteor shower composed of five shooting stars, it looks beautiful and spectacular, and many ignorant mortals worship it.

Naturally, it is impossible for various countries and sects to have no ears and eyes for each other. They have placed secret agents in other major forces and major sects to find out information.

They both knew the existence of Anzi tacitly, but they didn't know who it was.

The transfer of so many monks from the five major sects of Chu State, such a big movement, it is just self-deception to say that it can be hidden from Anzi, and it is impossible to hide it from Yan State.

Now that it has been discovered, there is no need to hide it.

The two great powers, good and evil, have their own efforts to contain them. Chu and Qi only need to be responsible for clearing the Yan State as soon as possible, and do not need to think so much.

In this world where power belongs to oneself, the most important thing is the game between the ancestors of Nascent Soul.

As long as the winner is determined between the Nascent Soul cultivators, then the competition in the realm of golden elixir, foundation building, and Qi refining will appear pale and meaningless.

A very small number of high-level monks determine the fate of most low-level monks and hundreds of millions of mortals!

In the current situation where the Soul Transformation monks are not available, the Nascent Soul stage is Tiannan's top combat power. Every change of the Nascent Soul monks may affect the overall situation.

Before the Nascent Soul stage, no matter how many golden elixirs or foundation-building monks there are, it will be difficult to truly affect the overall situation.

The truth of the matter was so desperate that it made the monk suffocate.

However, the considerations of the ancestor of Yuanying are unknown. The monks of the five sects only need to obey the order and attack the Yan Kingdom with all their strength!

Heaven and hell, the weak never have the right to choose.

…

The strength of Yan State can be ranked in the middle and upper reaches of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. Its area is larger than that of Chu State, and its resources for cultivating immortals are richer, and its overall strength is correspondingly stronger.

There are eight continents and four major immortal sects in this country, namely Shuiyoumen, Yuling Sect, Danxia Cave, and Baiyun Temple. Each of them has two Nascent Soul cultivators.

If placed in Chu State, only Piaoxue Pavilion could compare with it.

The four major sects of the Yan Kingdom are equally divided into eight continents, and each sect occupies two continents. Among them, Shuiyoumen and Yuling Sect occupy the four continents in the west, and Danxia Cave and Baiyun Temple occupy the four continents in the east.

The great Yan State was divided up by the four major sects in this way. As for other small forces, they were not able to take the stage. They could only be regarded as vassals of the four major sects, and their treatment was not much better than that of the affiliated forces of the Chu State.

Youzhou is located in the easternmost part of the Yan Kingdom. It can be said to be the gateway to the east of the Yan Kingdom. Its location is very important.

As a huge sect dominating both continents and the actual controller of Youzhou, Baiyunguan built an Ancient Que Immortal City, referred to as Ancient Que City, in the southernmost part of Youzhou to guard the border.

Its effect is the same as that of Wangyue City and Tianqiong City, but due to the high cost of Baiyun Temple, it is superior in terms of range and defense.

There are several Jindan monks from Baiyun Temple stationed in the city all year round, and there is also a teleportation array that can go directly to the mountain gate of Baiyun Temple, so that reinforcements can be quickly dispatched or retreated.

Kongsang Mountain outside Jindu is only five hundred miles away from Guque City. At the speed of five spiritual ships, it can be crossed in a little more than a quarter of an hour.

Liu Yu stood silently on the Cangwu ship, looking quietly into the distance.

Under the night, a huge, blurry outline came into view, becoming increasingly clear.

The bronze-colored walls slightly reflected cold light, appearing cold and hard under the starlight.

There are scratches of varying shades on the surface, telling the vicissitudes and history of this city.

Every vote of support is the motivation for the author to update, thank you Changting!
