"Maintain the current state, the Purple Turban Army, try to shirk as much as possible."
Thinking of this, Liu Yu closed the account, got up and walked back and forth to the door.
"squeak"
The door opened and closed, and he walked down the stairs all the way, and soon came to the first floor of Yudan Hall, without stopping at all.
"Seniors of the Ancient City"
"owner"
Along the way, both shop assistants and customers saluted and said hello.
I am full of awe for this "legendary figure" who not only has superb cultivation, but also has extraordinary attainments in alchemy.
Especially the clerk, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
The treatment at Yudantang is not bad. It is precisely because the "Senior Gucheng" founded Yudantang that they can have a stable job and income.
You don't need to live a precarious life like other casual cultivators, and you don't need to take risks to perform tasks.
So at least for now, most of the clerks are grateful to the legendary Liu Yu.
Thanks to the seniors of Gucheng for giving them a stable job.
"Ah."
Liu Yu's face was calm, and occasionally he nodded slightly to the familiar clerk, and soon left Yudan Hall.
Out of the attic to the street, bursts of noise came oncoming.
Shouting, controversy, gossip, bragging
All kinds of casual cultivators make all kinds of sounds, full of fireworks in the world, making people feel like they are in an ordinary market.
Hongxia Mountain is a fourth-order spiritual mountain, and the aura on it is extremely abundant for casual cultivators, even if it is not at the aura node.
The monks who can live in this Lingshan Mountain are considered to be the better group among thousands of casual cultivators, so their cultivation bases are generally relatively high.
Foundation Establishment cultivators abound, and Golden Core cultivators are not uncommon either.
On the contrary, there are very few qi refining monks who have lived in this mountain for a long time, and they usually come to Hongxia Mountain for business, such as buying magical artifacts or visiting relatives and friends.
They can't stay here for too long, they must leave within the specified time, otherwise they will be found by patrolling monks after the time limit, and many spirit stones will be fined and confiscated.
Of course, if you are too shy to pay the fine, you can also use "labor" to deduct it.
As a sacred place for casual cultivators, although there are not as many rules and regulations as in the fairy city, there are still the most basic rules.
For example, you can't shoot in the gathering place, you can't kill people and seize treasures within the range of Zixia Mountains, etc.
It is precisely because there is a basic order that can guarantee the most basic life safety, the Zixia Mountains can attract many casual practitioners.
"Whoosh~"
Three streaks of escaping light streaked across the sky and landed directly in the city of Hongxiafang, revealing several monks with different levels of cultivation.
These cultivators were all above Golden Core cultivation base, but perhaps because of shortly after the fight, two of them were visibly unstable and pale.
There were blood stains on the clothes.
Flying away in the Zixia Mountains is not restricted, even if you only have a mid-stage Qi refining practice, you can fly freely if you only use a magic weapon, and the class performance is not so obvious.
Seeing three golden core "senior" appearing in a row, the monks in the square city looked over one after another.
"The shopkeeper hasn't come out yet?"
"This time, the three of us brought a few high-quality goods, you can't bargain against your conscience!"
Duan Guang fell straight in front of a shop that bought monster materials, and one of them shouted loudly into the shop.
After speaking, ignoring the various eyes of others, the three of them walked directly into the store, and their figures disappeared quickly.
"It looks like another group of monks went to the border to hunt monsters."
Looking back, Liu Yu flashed this thought.
"With the end of the battle of Lingwu City, the relationship between the two races has become increasingly tense, and the friction is increasing."
"Not only the Annan Six Continents, but also the three sides of the Western Desert, the Eastern Wilderness, and the Northern Plains. The number of demon cultivators and beasts entrenched on the border is also increasing day by day."
"If things go on like this, it's not impossible for the monster war to break out."
he thought silently.
With the end of the ancient era, the ancient ten thousand races also gradually declined and gradually disappeared.
Either stay in a corner, or go extinct directly.
In the world, there are only two great clans left - "human" and "monster".
The two races are the only protagonists, and the only opponents are each other.
Millions of years have passed, and the confrontation between monsters and monsters has continued until now, and there is no sign of ending.
In terms of overall strength, the human race has the upper hand.
But compared to the monster clan, the intrigue within the human race is more serious, and they have no intention of uniting to head-to-head with the monster clan.
The relationship between Dagan and the Holy Land, and the relationship between the Central Region and the Four Regions has always been in a very delicate state.
Just relying on the middle domain is enough to contend with the entire monster clan, and at most it will fall into a slight disadvantage.
However, we must also beware of "holding back" at the critical moment of the Four Regions, and dare not launch a decisive battle with the Yaozu.
After all, after solving the biggest enemy of the Yaozu, the four domains are worried that the Central Domain Dynasty will have the idea of "dominating the world".
The existing world structure has spawned a large number of holy lands, sects, and aristocratic families with vested interests. Of course, they don't want to have another Supreme Emperor on their heads.
The ancient Heavenly Court was indeed extremely splendid, but the vast majority of monks were unwilling to see the second "Heavenly Court" appear.
Although the monster race is at a disadvantage in terms of overall strength, under the coordination of the "Wang Ting", they are much more united than the human race.
But "Yaozu" is just a general term, and the interests of thousands of races within the Yaozu are not the same.
No matter which race, they want their own habitat to be bigger, better and richer in resources.
And a decisive battle with the human race will inevitably be accompanied by a large number of casualties. The originally high-ranking race may fall to the lower ranks after the war.
Under such circumstances, it is also difficult for the Monster Race to make up their minds and launch a full-scale decisive battle against the Human Race.
There is discord within the two clans, and it is difficult to gather forces together. Naturally, it is difficult to break out that kind of all-out war and completely defeat the other party.
Therefore, the pattern formed since the end of ancient times has continued to the present.
Of course, if there is chaos within the other party, the other party will definitely take the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Today's Beiyuan and Tiannan were created by the human race taking advantage of the civil strife in the monster clan.
And Tiannan was gradually eaten away, which was also the result of the Yaozu taking advantage of the gap between the human dynasty's change of dynasty and taking advantage of it.
But these are far from total war.
But now, Dagan's rule has passed its most powerful period, and the relationship with the Holy Land seems to be incompatible. In the existing 93 continents of the central region, there are still scattered organizations such as the Purple Turban Army and the Dajiang Society.
Yaozu seems to be ready to move again.
Liu Yu had a premonition that the current situation in Central Region seemed to be stable, but turbulence seemed to be coming at any time.
It's just that I don't know whether to explode from the inside out or start from the outside in.
"In the current situation, the various forces in the central region are restraining each other, and it is impossible to rescue Tiannan."
"I don't know what's going on in Tiannan now, is the beast tide over?"
"Have the Zongmen and Chu Kingdom fallen?"
All kinds of thoughts flashed in Liu Yu's mind.
In the process of rushing from Jiangzhou to Zixia Mountains in Qingzhou, he had already found an opportunity to hand over the letter of appeal from the Seven Nations League to the Dagan local organization.
But after the news spread, it was as if nothing happened, and nothing happened.
Knowing the situation in the central region, Liu Yu basically had no expectations for the monks sent by Qianting to rescue Tiannan.
Anyway, when the news reached him, he was considered to have completed the task. If he paid a little attention to the news in this regard, he would not take any more actions.
Looking at the bustling scene in Fangshi, Liu Yu felt peaceful in his heart, and then his mana rose into the air and flew towards his cave.
The cave he leased in "Hongxia Mountain" is a mansion covering an area of about [-] acres, with high walls erected on all sides and guarded by a third-order formation.
Inside the mansion, there are all kinds of pavilions, terraces and lofts, as well as rockery and small lakes, etc. The scenery is very beautiful.
The mansion is located on the aura node, and its rank is as high as the third-rank top rank, which is just equivalent to the current cultivation level. With the blessing of alchemist status, it will not attract attention.
With Liu Yuxiu's status and identity, even renting a third-tier top-quality cave is very normal, and it can be said to be very low-key at present.
……
Back in the cave, Liu Yu entered into a state of penance again, swallowing elixir to accumulate mana cultivation base, warming up the magic weapon and comprehending various exercises.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Liu Yu was comprehending a book of spiritual consciousness exercises in the hall, when there was a sudden movement in the storage ring.
"At this time, it should be Guo Poyun."
Putting down the classics, he took out the communication jade tablet, and quickly swept it with his spiritual consciousness.
As expected, it was Guo Poyun who sent the message, and he was already waiting outside the cave.
Liu Yu shook his head slightly, then used the mansion's control token to open the formation, stood up and greeted him outside the cave.
"Boom"
The door opened slowly with a slight sound.
Through the gap, Liu Yu had already seen the familiar figure of Guo Poyun, with a slight smile on his face, he said:
"I haven't seen you for a few months. Fellow Daoist Guo's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and he must be one step closer to the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Standing in front of the door, he greeted skillfully.
"Where is there, how can Guo's progress be compared with fellow Taoists of the ancient city?"
"At that time, who will hit the bottleneck of baby formation first, but it's really not certain!"
"Going to disturb you again, I hope fellow Taoists in the ancient city don't take offense."
Guo Poyun came alone, stood outside the door and clapped his hands, his attitude was very polite.
"The way of cultivating immortals should have a lot of exchanges with colleagues, so why bother?"
"Guo Daoyou, please!"
As he spoke, Liu Yu made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time swept his consciousness to check carefully whether there were monks peeping into his cave.
Immediately, the two walked together to a small pavilion built on the lawn.
After more than ten breaths, the two sat facing each other in the quaint small pavilion. Liu Yu personally poured a cup of spirit tea for them, and began to greet each other politely.
The two talked about everything from secrets about the Dagan royal family to scandals about a certain "fairy".
"Ugh."
After a cup of spiritual tea was drained, Guo Poyun suddenly sighed heavily.
"Why is Daoyou Guo like this?"
Liu Yu's heart moved, knowing that the main show was about to begin, but she still asked.
The smile on Guo Poyun's face disappeared, and his complexion became heavy, looking preoccupied.
After he sighed heavily, he was silent for a moment before speaking:
"After the mission of Heishan Immortal Prison, the headquarters of the League was destroyed and had to be merged into the Purple Turban Army."
"But those hawk dogs in the court, like crazy, frantically attacked casual cultivator organizations similar to this alliance, beheaded and arrested all walks of life."
"The intensity of the attack has suddenly increased by several levels, which is very different from the past."
"Under the impact of this intensity, countless comrades lost their lives, and various organizations also suffered huge losses."
"Even the Purple Scarf Army suffered a lot of losses and had to restrain themselves to avoid the sharp edge of Qianting Holy Land."
"Those mad dogs."
In the end, Guo Poyun disregarded the respectability of the Jindan cultivator, and began to exhale the fragrance.
Liu Yu looked serious at the beginning, but then smiled slightly.
After speaking more than a dozen sentences in Qianting, Guo Poyun straightened his face and stated the purpose of this trip:
"At present, the organization has lost a lot, and it urgently needs to replenish new blood. It is in need of a powerful fellow like the fellow Daoist of the ancient city."
"If fellow Taoists from the ancient city join, it will definitely inspire many fellow practitioners and greatly boost morale!"
"Furthermore, the elders in the organization also value fellow Taoists very much, so they sent Guo to persuade them many times."
"After the ancient city fellow Taoist joins, he will definitely be reused by the elders, and his future is limitless."
"how?!"
After finishing speaking, he put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Liu Yu with a burning gaze.
"Isn't Gu a member of the organization at this time?"
"Every comrade has a usefulness for each comrade. You don't have to be on the front line to contribute to the organization."
"Compared to performing missions to fight and kill, Gu, as an alchemist, is more suitable for quiet alchemy."
"In this way, you can also contribute your own strength."
"Besides, at the critical stage of cultivation, Gu still wants to use his energy."
Unmoved in his heart, Liu Yu immediately replied without changing his face, opening his mouth for various reasons.
The excuses are still the same as the previous few times, "Cultivating with one heart", "studying alchemy", "also making contributions" and so on.
"But."
Seeing this, Guo Poyun wanted to continue persuading.
But Liu Yu's answer was watertight, leaving no flaws at all.
After all, cultivation is the most important thing for cultivators, even the most fanatical members of the Purple Scarf Army.
Only when the cultivation base is improved can it pose a threat to the Holy Land of Qianting.
What's more, Liu Yu stayed in the Zixia Mountains and gave a lot of discounts in terms of elixir, which can also be counted as a contribution to the Purple Scarf Army.
For various reasons, it was difficult for Guo Poyun to refute.
"Friends of the ancient city."
After a few breaths, Guo Poyun smiled wryly and shook his head.
After repeated persuasion to no avail, seeing that the atmosphere was getting serious, he had no choice but to give up, and returned without success just like the previous few times.
"If a fellow daoist changes his mind, he can contact me through the jade token at any time."
"Farewell."
In the end, Guo Poyun got up and bowed his hands heavily, turned around and left the mansion along the path.
Looking at the back of this person leaving, Liu Yu's eyes were thoughtful.
He also heard about this matter during the year he stayed in the Zixia Mountains in Qianting Holy Land.
Perhaps it was the change of the monster clan that made Qianting Holy Land feel threatened, and wanted to clean up the internal hidden dangers before facing it with all its strength.
Perhaps there are too many casual repair organizations, and they are worried that they will unite to shake the foundation of the rule.
The reason is still unknown, but since the Bo Yimeng suffered a devastating blow, the Holy Land of Qianting has intensified its attack on the loose cultivators in the territory, causing these casual cultivators to suffer heavy losses.
Even the most famous Purple Scarf Army lost a lot, and it is rumored that several Nascent Soul True Monarchs have fallen because of this!
It was precisely because of the thunderous blow that caused heavy losses to various casual repair organizations that they all increased their efforts to recruit new members.
A Jindan cultivator like Liu Yu, who is strong and has special skills, is undoubtedly a sweet bun in the eyes of various casual cultivators.
In addition to the Purple Scarf Army, there are more than a dozen powerful casual cultivators who offered olive branches to him.
Even Zhenjun Yuanying came to solicit, but Liu Yu never let go.
It's just a name in the Purple Scarf Army, except for the occasional visit to Yudan Hall on weekdays, it just stays in the mansion to practice.
"Although Qianting Holy Land has stepped up its crackdown on casual cultivators, the Zixia Mountains have shown no signs of being affected under the protection of the "Nine Dragon Gods."
"You can practice with peace of mind and collect all kinds of spiritual herbs and medicines. There is no need to take risks in muddy water."
"Besides, the "Ningying Pill" and "Peiying Pill" have been obtained one after another. In addition to the advantages of the ninth-grade Jindan in congealing the Nascent Soul, as long as you practice to the peak of the Jindan and hit the bottleneck, your success rate will be more than [-]%."
"In the process of cultivating to the peak of Jindan, if you collect a few common baby-forming objects, the theoretical success rate is very likely to exceed [-]%!"
"In this case, there is no need to continue to take risks. It is better to practice safely and steadily."
"Zongheng Jindan is indeed commendable, but if it is against Zhenjun Shangyuanying, it is still not enough."
Thinking of this, Liu Yu subconsciously touched the storage ring in his hand.
The harvest from the trip to the Heishan Immortal Prison was exchanged for spirit stones through the channel of the Purple Scarf Army. Even if the huge consumption of opening the Yudan Hall was deducted, the spirit stones in his hands now steadily exceeded one million, reaching as much as 130 million.
With such a huge amount of spirit stones, it is more than enough to buy a few relatively common baby-forming spirit objects, and through Yudantang, you can also continuously obtain spirit stones.
After thinking for a long time in the small pavilion alone, Liu Yu got up and entered the attic, and walked towards the practice room.
Nuo Da's mansion seemed a little deserted.
The current Zixia Mountains seem to be calm, but how long this calm can last, he has no idea, so he has no intention of recruiting maids.
After all, Liu Yu himself is not greedy for enjoyment, and has long been used to a life of penance.
It's been like this for so many years.
And Zhuo Mengzhen's cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Core mid-stage, and he is currently retreating to polish his mana, and it is possible to break through the late stage in recent years.
Therefore, only Liu Yu was active in Nuo Da's mansion, which seemed a bit deserted.
"squeak"
The door of the practice room opened, and the subtle sound was heard in the silent mansion, and the formation was also opened.
Entering the practice room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the futon, and took out the third-grade top-grade elixir "Qingming Dan".
"gollum"
Swallowing his head up, he immediately operated the deduced "Ninth Layer of Qingyang Kung Fu" and entered the state of cultivation.
Soon, wisps of blue light appeared on Liu Yu's face, flickering and flickering.
Qi refining cultivation has just broken through to the late stage of Jindan, even with the help of elixir, it is difficult to make great progress in a short period of time.
However, the way of cultivating immortals is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, so after he broke through, he never slacked off.
Even if the strength reaches the "Holy Child level", the daily practice has not fallen, unless there are irresistible factors.
For example, the onset of sequelae of exercises and so on.
As for body refining, it was 40 years earlier than Qi refining, breaking through to the late third stage.
With the help of various resources over the years, his cultivation has been growing steadily, and he is one step closer to the peak of Tier [-].
If calculated according to the qi refining period, the body refining cultivation should be at the "eighth level of golden elixir" at this time, and the level of qi refining should be at the "seventh level of golden elixir", so the body refining is still far ahead of the qi refining.
As for refining the gods, he did not fail to practice the "wonderful method of keeping the gods" every day.
With the help of the "Soul Condensation Pill", the spiritual consciousness has grown slowly but steadily. Compared with when he did not take the pill, at least he can clearly feel the growth rate.
It's just that with the increase in spiritual consciousness, the gap gets bigger and bigger the further you get to the back, and the gap between each mile is not small when it reaches the level of a hundred or so miles.
After breaking through to the skyrocketing in the late stage of Jindan, and more than a year of hard work, it still failed to increase from 150 miles to 150 miles.
This made Liu Yu quite regretful.
However, the cultivation of the primordial spirit must not be rushed, and he can only insist on practicing the "Wonderful Method of Preserving the Spirit" four times a day.
At the same time, spend a lot of money to find spiritual things that are beneficial to the soul, and take some from time to time.
In this way, when the situation became more and more tense, Liu Yu paid attention to the turmoil in all directions, and stayed in the Zixia Mountains to practice steadily.
Time slips away quietly through the fingers, leaving traces on the wheel of life.
Ten years, a snap of the fingers.
