In the evening, Liu Yu lay on the bed, staring at the roof, not practicing as usual. I went to Master and explained the situation in detail. Tang Hao was silent for a while after hearing this, obviously he was helpless.
Later, Tang Hao came to give Liu Yu a detailed analysis of the hidden dangers of the assignment. He also told Liu Yu to exchange all the contribution points he had saved for elixirs at Huangbaotang. If he had spiritual stones in his hands, he would also go to Fangshi to spend all his money on elixirs. Without elixirs to assist his practice, he wanted to achieve breakthroughs in the outside world. Extremely difficult.
Before Liu Yu left, he also warned Liu Yu that the secular world is deceitful and people's hearts are sinister, so he must think twice before acting.
In Tang Hao's opinion, his apprentice was useless. He had been sent to the secular world for ten years, and he had little money and little contribution. His cultivation would definitely stagnate. I have wasted these ten years, even if I practice to Dzogchen in the future. He must also be very old.
You must know that the older you are, the less likely you are to succeed in foundation building. Whether you can practice to Dzogchen is another matter.
Gently touching the storage bag, it contained all of Liu Yu's belongings. There are more than 3,100 spiritual stones, and the storage bag itself is worth more than 500 spiritual stones. A red long sword, named Chimu Sword, is a first-grade intermediate magic weapon. The sword body is carved from century-old red wood and has a gold handle. The market price is about five hundred spiritual stones.
A third-grade intermediate golden armor talisman. After casting this talisman, it can withstand several attacks from monks at the tenth level of Qi training. It is worth a lot of money. The market price is about a thousand spiritual stones. The rest are some daily necessities, clothes, silver and the like.
But judging from the total value of these spiritual stones, which are more than 5,100 pieces, Liu Yu, who is only at the fifth level of Qi training, is not rich. Obviously Tang Hao greatly underestimated Liu Yu's net worth.
These things were left to him by his grandfather Liu Li. After Liu Yu went to the mountain at a young age, Liu Li would come up to the mountain to visit her every few months, bringing precious medicinal materials and spiritual stones every time. In Liu Yu's memory, his grandfather always had a smiling face, being kind and obedient to him.
Three years ago, it was the last time his grandfather went up the mountain. Not long after, news came that Liu Li had passed away. Liu Yu clearly remembered that his grandfather took him to a remote place in the corner of the mountain with a serious expression and gave him this storage bag without expression.
It is said that there is a map in the storage bag. The map marks a place where there is a cave. It is still the place where a monk in the foundation-building stage rests. There is a magic circle in front of the cave to protect him. He asked Liu Yuxiu to try to break the formation when he reached the advanced stage of Qi training, and warned that he should not tell outsiders about this matter. The world is dangerous and he should be careful to cause trouble.
Afraid that Liu Yu would not believe it and not understand the unpredictable nature of people's hearts, he told Liu Yu something that shocked Liu Yu and left him speechless. It is still unbelievable to this day.
Back then, Liu Li was traveling around and looking for opportunities to meet a casual cultivator named Xuan Jian. The two of them lived in the same restaurant and were inexplicably involved in a fierce fight. The two of them worked together to break out of the siege. The situation was very dangerous. If anything went wrong, both of them would be killed on the spot.
From then on, the two of them traveled together, looking for that ethereal opportunity together. During several life and death situations, the two of them saved each other's lives, and they became brothers with different surnames because they were similar in age.
Xuan Jian is a few years older and he considers him his elder brother. The two of them talked about everything and shared weal and woe. It turns out that Xuan Jian's cultivation practice is a family tradition and he belongs to a very small cultivation family. When it was passed down to Xuan Jian, Xuan Jian himself was the only cultivator left in the family. The others have no spiritual roots, and they see that the cultivator family is about to become a mortal family, and their family fortunes are in decline.
Xuan Jian himself was worried about Zhong Zhong and often sighed. After more than twenty years of wandering around aimlessly, the two of them didn't gain much. As the years passed and they got older and older, they returned home. However, they still exchanged letters and the contact was not interrupted.
One time, Liu Li passed by Xuan Jian's mansion as a escort and paid a visit. The two had been separated for more than ten years. After meeting, they felt cordial and talked at night by candlelight. Liu Li told Xuan Jian about his unintentional rescue of the foundation-building monk Zhang Wuxin, which made Xuan Jian feel incredible.
On the one hand, he was pleased that Liu Li had the opportunity, and that his grandchildren had spiritual roots and had successors in cultivation. On the one hand, he felt helpless because none of his descendants had the qualifications to cultivate, and the family was declining. Since then, the two have not seen each other, and there have been very few letters. Because Liu Li is devoted to Liu Yu's cultivation resources, Xuan Jian is also thinking of ways to deal with the family's future.
Three years ago, Liu Li suddenly received a letter from Xuan Jian, asking Liu Li whether he had any powerful magic weapon or other items such as magic talismans.
Liu Li checked the letter, thinking that his old friend had encountered some trouble, and was very worried. He immediately set off to help, traveling all night, not daring to miss a moment of food, wind or sleep. It took more than ten days of running around to get there.
Xuan Jian was very grateful when he saw his old friend Liu Li arriving after a long journey, and lamented that having a friend like this would make him have no regrets in his life.
It turns out that Xuan Jian has not encountered any trouble, but he is already very old. Recently, he feels that his life span is about to end and he will give up soon.
However, none of the younger members of the family still have spiritual roots. They are afraid that after his death, the family will have no one to rely on and the family fortune will decline. They are even more afraid that after death, someone with spiritual roots will appear in the family, and there will be no one to enlighten them and no cultivation resources. They will be buried and the family will not be able to revive.
There have been cultivators in Xuan Jian's family for generations. Although their cultivation levels are not high and their number is not large, they have been passed down to this day for more than 800 years.
When Xuan Jian was born, there was another cultivator in the family, his father Xuan Zhonger. After Xuan Jian came of age, Xuan Zhonger was killed in a fight for spiritual grass. There is a mysterious map in the Xuanjian family. As the biggest secret in the family, it is passed down from word to mouth and never told to outsiders.
The map marks a cave, which is the place where a foundation-building monk rests. There is a magic circle in front of the cave to protect him. People of the Xuanjian tribe in the past dynasties have tried to open the cave, but they were unable to break the magic circle because their cultivation was too low. Xuan Jian's genealogy records the cultivation levels of clan members in past generations, with the highest being the seventh level of Qi training.
When they met a few years ago, Xuan Jian learned that Liu Li had accidentally rescued the foundation-building monks and received a generous reward afterwards. At that time, Xuan Jian wanted to ask if he had any powerful magic weapon in his hand, and wanted to borrow it to break the magic circle and take out the treasures left in the cave. But in the end, he did not say it out loud, because family secrets cannot be easily disclosed to outsiders.
Without telling Liu Li the secret, even if Liu Li had a powerful magic weapon in his hand, he might not be able to borrow it. Xuan Jian was in good health at that time, and he thought that if a descendant with spiritual roots appeared, he would pass the map to him. But now that Xuan Jian's life was approaching, he couldn't wait any longer, so he wrote to Liu Li asking if he had a powerful magic weapon in his hand.
"Brother Xian, I am very happy that you can come here. I thank you in advance. Brother Xian, do you have a high-level magic weapon in your hand? It will be of great use to me."
Xuan Jian and Liu Li were sitting in a secret room. They were both in their seventies and had white hair. Xuan Jian's face was pale and sad. But Liu Li's face was rosy and he didn't look old. After chatting for a while, Xuan Jian asked with concern.
"Brother, why are you asking like this? What happened to you?" Liu Li thought for a while and replied softly.
"Brother, it's hard for me to tell you something!" Xuan Jian's wrinkled face showed a hint of guilt. He didn't want to reveal the map before he was sure.
"Brother, although I don't have a high-level magic weapon in my hand, I do have a third-grade high-level magic talisman called "Fire Continent", which is extremely powerful." After thinking for a moment, Liu Li replied. Liu Li cherished this talisman very much and wanted to leave it to his grandson Liu Yu.
"Third-grade high-level magic talisman? How powerful is it?" Xuan Jian asked immediately, excited, with a trace of blood on his pale face.
"When the foundation-building senior gave it to me, he said that it was as powerful as a strike from an early-stage foundation-building monk. He told me to use it with caution." Liu Li told the truth and did not hide anything from his big brother.
"Brother, listen to me..." Xuan Jian told Liu Yu the family secrets in detail and asked him to help break the formation together. If the formation is successfully broken, a share of the proceeds from the cave will be given to Liu Li. Afterwards, the two discussed it in the secret room for a whole night.
