Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 494 Cultivation Plan (Please subscribe and vote monthly!)

While thinking, the journey of just a few steps has been completed, and the cave is right in front of us.

"Huh?"

Looking at the opened cave formation, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with surprise.

If I remember correctly, the cave formation should have been closed before he left. Why was it opened at this time?

Apart from himself, only the sub-tokens in the hands of Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan could open the formation at the entrance of the cave.

But the two women are still finishing the ceremony, so who opened the formation and who is inside?

As I approached the door, a faint wisp of orchid fragrance suddenly entered my nose.

"is her?!"

Liu Yu's heart moved, and he already knew the identity of the person inside without needing to scan with his spiritual consciousness.

This wisp of orchid fragrance was somewhat familiar, with a special smell that he had been in close contact with before.

When I smelled it again, I recognized it instantly.

For some reason, Liu Yu suddenly thought of Elder Yan's mysterious words when he left, as well as the strange attitudes of Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan.

The doubts in my heart were immediately solved.

"Squeak."

Sure enough, the moment Liu Yu opened the door, he saw the figure of a female cultivator.

This woman is wearing a plain tight-fitting robe with no complicated decorations and exquisite embroidery.

But that trace of grace and splendor cannot be concealed by a simple Taoist robe.

Because the Taoist robe is too "fitting", his uneven figure is even more distinct against the Taoist robe.

Even from a distance of more than ten steps, you can still feel the heavy weight.

Her long black hair was tied back by a crimson hairpin, revealing a large area of ​​delicate facial features. Black and white formed a sharp contrast.

Light eye shadow, curved eyelashes, graceful temperament

There is also the snow-white smooth skin and the stunning bright red lips.

Even if he just glances at it, with a man's intuition, he will instinctively feel that this is a rare beauty!

Grace and dignity coexist, and there is a hint of charm in maturity.

A plain-colored Taoist robe was wrapped around her exquisite body, highlighting the identity of the female cultivator in front of her. She was supposed to have an identity regardless of the world of mortals, but now it gave people a strange feeling.

This woman is Yan Hongyu.

Because Liu Yu didn't cover up the movement, the woman naturally noticed it early and stood up in a hurry as soon as the door opened.

"Jingle Bell"

The silver jewelry in the hair collided, making a pleasant sound.

"I've met Elder Qingyang!"

Yan Hongyu hurriedly saluted, a blush already appearing on her snow-white cheeks.

She seemed not accustomed to the change of identities between the two parties, and her behavior was quite restrained, so she did not state her name when saluting.

An ordinary disciple decades ago has suddenly transformed into an elder of the sect? !

And because the pill formation failed and there was no further potential, the ancestor actually asked her to be a concubine.

"No need to be polite."

"Senior Sister Hongyu, you and I have known each other for decades, so there is no need to be so polite."

Liu Yu walked to the other side of the table by herself, took out a cup of spiritual tea from the storage bag, poured herself a cup of tea, and said lightly with a smile on her lips.

"yes."

Yan Hongyu agreed, then lowered her head and sat down without saying a word, her expression changing as she faced the table.

At this time, she no longer looked as wise and wise as before.

On the contrary, because of a series of blows, his demeanor was lonely and obviously not in high spirits, and he actually showed a hint of weakness.

This touch of delicateness is just right, adding a touch of feminine beauty to a woman. Combined with her graceful and mature temperament, her appeal to the opposite sex is even higher.

"good."

Liu Yu looked at it with admiration for a while, and nodded secretly in his heart.

When he accepted the magic weapon "Golden Jade Ring", he understood what Elder Yan meant, but he had no intention of rejecting it.

It can only be said that sending a defensive magic weapon at this time really hit his weak spot.

And Yan Hongyu's appearance and figure are indeed in line with her own aesthetics.

Faced with the dual temptation of magic weapon and beauty, how can Liu Yu refuse?

Don’t take the initiative, don’t refuse, don’t

The reason why he did not refuse the marriage again was that in addition to the two immediate benefits, he also had long-term plans.

This time, that time.

When building the foundation realm, you have to worry about being controlled by the Yan family and becoming a thug and a tool to earn spiritual stones.

But when they reached the Golden Core realm, the two sides were already on equal terms, and the relationship had undergone subtle changes.

If Liu Yu wants to gain more power in the sect, he will inevitably cause a backlash from those with vested interests.

At this time, you can no longer fight alone. You must unite forces that can be combined to get the benefits you deserve.

Even if they are brothers in the same sect, even if they are close blood relatives, few are willing to give up part of the benefits they have received.

If it cannot be obtained by peaceful means, it must be obtained by unusual means, and the help of allies is indispensable.

After all, Liu Yu is just a new golden elixir after all, and has not even refined his natal magic weapon.

Even if his strength is better than ordinary golden elixirs, he is far from being invincible.

When the strength is not enough, it is natural to strategize and use your strength to better achieve the goal.

As for the camps of the same family lineage, the Yan family and the Li family are natural allies, so they naturally need to be closer.

As a Jindan elder, it is only normal to have a concubine.

Even if he turns against her one day, her status as a concubine will not cause any hindrance to Liu Yu.

But in front of you, you can get further support from the Yan family and the favor of the monks from other families, so why not?

Weighing the pros and cons in our mind only takes a few breaths.

After taking a few breaths, seeing that Yan Hongyu still didn't say a word, Liu Yu frowned slightly.

Although today is the Golden Elixir Ceremony, he still has a lot of things to do, but he doesn't have much time to spend here.

However, it is really difficult for a female cultivator to take the initiative to speak about marriage, so she has to break the silence herself, otherwise it will only be a waste of time.

"Senior Sister Yan came here late at night, what's the matter?"

Gently putting down the cup in his hand, Liu Yu took some time to look at the other party and said calmly.

"."

Struggling fiercely in her heart, Yan Hongyu suddenly heard the familiar voice, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her hands under the table clenched unconsciously.

But after all, this woman has rich experience and deep feelings for her family, so she knows that she has no choice at the moment.

So, it took a long time to make the decision.

"Alas~!"

Yan Hongyu sighed quietly.

Then he stood up slowly, and his well-shaped and distinctive figure was once again displayed in front of Liu Yu.

This girl seemed to have dressed up carefully, with just the right eye shadow, lipstick, makeup, etc.

One less point is too light and looks a bit overshadowed, while one more point is too rich and looks a bit gaudy.

It's not too thick or light, but it adds a bit more color.

People can't help but move their index fingers, and they want to take it into their arms immediately and "care" for it.

As Yan Hongyu stood up, the orchid fragrance with a mature charm became more and more intense, seeming to tug at the heartstrings, making people feel itchy.

After getting up, she still didn't say a word. She just glanced at Liu Yu with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then quickly looked away.

Then, the snow-white jade hands with neat and slender nails slowly touched the belt around her waist.

Seeing this, Liu Yu smiled slightly. The two of them didn't communicate much, but they already understood each other tacitly.

But although it is essentially a transaction, it does not prevent him from enjoying it.

A trace of mana closed the door, and the formation outside also opened.

(Five thousand words are omitted here)

From a distance, it seemed like there was a strong wind blowing, and the lights in the attic were swaying.

Time passed slowly, and the light on the candlestick was lit all night, and was suddenly extinguished at dawn.

…

The next day.

The two of them were dressed neatly and sat opposite each other in the cave.

"Hongyu, you can live in Qingyang Peak with peace of mind from now on."

"If there is any shortage, feel free to tell me."

After taking a sip of the spiritual tea, Liu Yu calmly spoke.

"Yes, Master Qingyang."

Yan Hongyu was startled for a moment, then reacted and said calmly.

Although we have studied the Yin and Yang Dao together, it would still feel very awkward if we had to say those two words now.

After all, there is an age difference between the two of them by several dozen years, and Yan Quer's side

Therefore, Yan Hongyu hesitated for a moment and still called him uncle.

She looked at the male cultivator in front of her from the corner of her eye. For some reason, his ordinary appearance had a special charm at this time, which made her want to get close to him unconsciously.

"In that case, please retreat first."

"When the appropriate time comes, Liu will summon you and give you some pointers on your cultivation issues."

Taking out the alchemy notebook and warming it up, Liu Yu said calmly without raising his head.

With his keen spiritual sense, he could certainly sense the other party's consideration, but he didn't express any more.

At this time, he was in a state of being as holy as a Buddha.

Liu Yu had a panoramic view of the changes in attitudes towards Yan Hongyu and some female cultivators.

This did not surprise him.

The process of cultivating immortality is not only an increase in strength, but also a transformation in the essence of life.

By the golden elixir stage, he has achieved initial transcendence.

Compared with mortals, they are no longer the same. They can survive even without a physical body.

To a certain extent, compared to low-level monks and mortals, monks above the Golden Core realm are indeed more "perfect".

This is the essential gap in life, which creates a special attraction, especially for the opposite sex.

After all, evolution is the instinct engraved in the blood of all living things.

It is also the nature of the species to want to match a more perfect bloodline and give birth to more perfect offspring.

After being washed and marrowed to improve his realm, Liu Yu's appearance did not change much, except that some flaws disappeared.

It still looks ordinary on the surface, but it has become more "perfect"

"I understand, Uncle Master, Hongyu will leave."

Yan Hongyu agreed, then turned around and left quickly.

Although she initially accepted the reality, she was still a little worried and couldn't let go of it in a short time.

After the woman left, Liu Yu continued to review the alchemy notes. After two hours, she put them away and got up to enter the practice room.

On the futon, he sat cross-legged, took out the golden jade ring, a defensive magic weapon, injected mana into it and started refining it.

No surprise, the moment the mana was injected, I felt the breath of alien mana.

Apparently this magic weapon had been used before being given to him.

Liu Yu didn't pay too much attention, and immediately increased his magic power output. He slowly held the magic weapon in his hand and tried his best to refine the magic weapon "Golden Jade Ring".

As his magic power circulated, his true spiritual pressure was revealed, almost comparable to some middle-stage Jindan monks.

The newly formed elixir has this kind of background. If other monks know about it, they will definitely become curious and want to explore the secrets.

The cyan light in his hands shone, and magic spells landed on the golden jade rings.

The ring trembled slightly, as if it was oppressed and restrained by some invisible force. It trembled repeatedly but could not move.

Its golden aura gradually turned cyan as time went by.

"Preliminary wash completed."

One day passed, Liu Yu flashed this idea, and the magic technique in both hands immediately changed!

The invisible and powerful spiritual consciousness spurted out, spread to the inside of the golden jade ring, and began to engrave the brand of spiritual consciousness on its core.

It was not until two days and two nights later that Liu Yu initially completed the ritual refining of this magic weapon and it was ready for use.

"However, it can only exert 70% of its power at this time."

"If you want to continue to increase its power, you must try your best to eliminate the aura of foreign mana in it, so that Jin Yuhuan can become familiar with his own aura."

After a little experimentation, he found that this ring had a good defensive effect whether it was a brute force attack or a spell attack. Liu Yu nodded slightly satisfied.

Afterwards, he put it in his storage bag and started practicing every day.

After turning on the spirit gathering formation in the cave, Liu Yu closed her eyes and focused most of her attention on the operation of the technique.

Not long after, a large amount of spiritual energy slowly gathered towards the cave under the gathering spirit formation.

With the movement of the technique, the spiritual energy even formed a layer of mist, submerged into his physical body, joined the Great Circular Cycle, and was refined into mana.

After cultivating to the golden elixir realm, there are still seventy-two great cycles, so the cultivation time has not increased.

It's just that the operation route of the skill is more complicated, but the purity of the mana essence is also different from that of the foundation building period, so the training time for Qi refining is roughly the same.

"Huh~"

Three hours later, Liu Yu exhaled a breath and opened his eyes, with a flash of light in his pupils.

Feeling that his mana and cultivation barely increased, he couldn't help but frown.

Only then did I finally understand why some golden elixir monks would stay in a small realm for two to three hundred years.

Just because of relying solely on meditation, the speed of improvement in cultivation is too slow.

Although longevity has increased, the difficulty of improving cultivation has also skyrocketed.

"After cultivating to the realm of golden elixir, the gap between various qualifications will be narrowed because of the existence of golden elixir."

"With my qualifications improved by the psychic energy, and the specious ninth-grade golden elixir, at this time, even if it is a monk with Tianlinggen or Foreign Spiritual Root, the fastest cultivation speed is twice as fast as mine."

"But at the current speed, if you just rely on meditating to refine your Qi, it will take at least one hundred and twenty years to reach the middle stage of Jindan."

"You may encounter bottlenecks. If you want to reach the peak of the golden elixir, it will take years and months."

"It seems that we still need the assistance of external objects."

Liu Yu sighed slightly.

Because the golden elixir can also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, after reaching the golden elixir realm, the cultivation speed of all monks has increased.

As the overall cultivation speed increases, the proportion of spiritual root qualifications will naturally decrease, and the corresponding influence will continue to decrease.

After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, without using any external objects, there may even be situations where the Heavenly Spiritual Root and the Five Spiritual Roots are cultivated at the same speed.

Because as one's cultivation level increases, the proportion of the Golden Core Yuanying in the cultivation speed will gradually equal or even surpass the spiritual root qualification.

Theoretically, if the gap between the levels of the Golden Core Yuanying is large enough, it is not impossible for the Five Spiritual Roots to surpass the Heavenly Spiritual Root in terms of cultivation speed when they both reach the Yuanying realm.

However, although the speed of cultivation has increased, the amount of mana and cultivation required to accumulate has also become more.

"But now he has a maximum lifespan of eight hundred years. To a certain extent, he is considered an "immortal". He doesn't rush into anything."

"We need to change our mentality and try to consider some issues from the perspective of an "immortal"."

"The current success rate of refining the third-level elixir corresponding to the golden elixir realm is still too low, and the spiritual stones in my hand are not enough."

"It seems that in the next ten years, you won't be able to take pills frequently to practice."

"Even with the Immortal Palace ripening, the cost of the third-level elixir is not low. You still need to improve your alchemy skills first, and then refine the third-level elixir."

Taking advantage of the break, Liu Yu thought about his future training plan.

There are currently five third-level elixir recipes in hand, harvested from the trip to the Holy Fire Secret Realm.

But there are only two types that suit me.

One is the third-level low-grade "Fire Cloud Pill", which is an elixir exclusive to fire-attribute monks and is very suitable for monks who use fire-attribute skills in the early stages of the Golden Pill.

One is the third-level mid-grade "Quenching Yuan Dan", which is a general-purpose elixir without attributes. It can be taken by monks who practice any technique and have good effects.

The collection of spiritual herbs and elixirs for refining the "Fire Cloud Pill" had begun before the pill was formed. Together with the inventory in the Immortal Mansion, they have been collected now.

As long as you are confident enough and can bear the loss of refining failure, you can start refining the elixir at any time.

"There is no rush in refining the "Fire Cloud Pill". It is better to improve your alchemy skills first."

"The golden jade ring has been initially refined. It's better to go to the sect's treasure house first to see if there are any surprises and to harvest one or two materials for refining the natal magic weapon."

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Liu Yu's thoughts gradually became clear.

There are only a few natal magic weapons recorded in Qingyang Gong, but the collection progress of any of them has not exceeded three-tenths, and there is still a long way to go.

"Judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that the natal magic weapon will be refined in the next ten years."

"This matter needs long-term consideration. The top priority is to improve our strength in all aspects and earn spiritual stones."

"From the perspective of an immortal, ten or twenty years is nothing."

"Of course, this is because I have higher requirements for my natal magic weapon, but it is also a common situation among all Golden Elixir monks."

"Compared to casual golden elixir cultivators and small-power cultivators, one or two hundred years after the elixir is formed, they won't even be able to gather the materials to refine the natal magic weapon."

"I have been around for more than ten or twenty years, so I am already very fast."

Shaking her head, Liu Yu took out the "Yueyue Pot" and began to practice the "Star True Body".

The reason why we do not directly practice the "Mystical Method of Preserving God" is because the knowledge of spiritual consciousness is more profound, and only half of the third-level golden elixir stage has been understood, so it is naturally out of the question to practice.

He would not joke with his own life, and would not take the risk to practice the third level of the Mystical Art of Preserving God before fully comprehending it.

As for the second level, the spiritual consciousness that is already seventy-five miles away has lost the effect of tempering and growth.

Naturally, there is no need to spend time practicing, just run it once in a while to get familiar with it.

"Zi Zi"

As a wisp of "taiyin power" floated out from the spout of the Yaoyue Pot, frost began to condense in the practice room, and freezing sounds came and went.

Wisps of cold air formed into white mist, covering the burly figure.

After cultivating to the golden elixir realm, the essence of life has improved a lot, which has led to an increase in body refining.

Liu Yu could feel that even without the assistance of the "Power of Taiyin", physical cultivation was improving all the time under the influence of the golden elixir.

At this rate, even without the aid of external objects, it would only take about twenty years for physical cultivation to break through to the third level.

Coupled with the assistance of the power of Taiyin, it will be enough in about ten years.

Once he also breaks through to the golden elixir realm in terms of physical cultivation, Liu Yu's strength will immediately increase dramatically.

Therefore, this is the time when he is the most powerful and the time when he is the weakest.

In the next few decades, as long as you can cultivate steadily for a period of time, your strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds!

…

"Rumble"

The formation is activated and the door is opened.

Liu Yu walked out of the practice room and immediately saw the figures of two female cultivators, Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan.

"husband"

The two women saluted and called in unison.

At the Golden Elixir Ceremony, Liu Yu had already announced in public that he would take Jiang Qiu Shuishui as his concubine, so this woman has now changed her tune.

I don’t know if it’s been decades, but now I finally have a status.

"sit down."

Liu Yu said lightly, then walked to the main seat and sat down, taking some time to look at the two women.

There was an inexplicable look in the dark pupils.

"."

However, when the two women heard this, they did not stand up immediately, but exchanged glances with each other while bending down.

"Husband, sister Ruyan and I both know we were wrong."

"About Senior Sister Hongyu."

In the end, Jiang Qiushui gritted her teeth and stood up to admit her mistake.

She knew Liu Yu best and knew that although her husband seemed fine now, he might be furious in his heart.

At this time, it’s better not to be harsh.

In a few words, Jiang Qiushui explained the whole story clearly.

It was indeed Master Xianyun and Elder Yan who used their strength, and under the guise of thinking about Liu Yu, and the magic weapon "gold and jade ring" was too valuable, so the two women put Yan Hongyu into the cave.

Liu Yu was naturally angry when he let people in without his permission.

However, the two women were excusable, so they just gave them a scolding to make them realize the seriousness of the matter, and the matter was considered in the past.

The sub-tokens in the hands of the two women can only open the formation leading to the hall. The practice room, alchemy room, bedroom, etc. cannot be entered.

And with the Soul Restriction, there is no need to worry about their betrayal.

If it were another monk, Liu Yu might have just fucked him to the end, or even killed him on the spot.

He has too many secrets and is destined not to trust any monk.

"Husband, I have already made arrangements for selecting the maid."

"As soon as the news was released, many female cultivators from the sect wanted to join Qingyang Peak."

"Because there were too many people, I took the initiative to select 200 people and eliminate those who were not suitable in terms of appearance and body shape."

"Husband, I don't know when the interview will be arranged and how many maids will be selected?"

After the violent storm passed, Ji Ruyan spoke cautiously.

Thanks to fellow Taoists such as Lesions 5000 points and Yunyewang 5000 points for their support!

PS: Make up for the thousand words I owed yesterday.
