"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
"Senior Brother Hanshan is here! Please come over here!"
"Hurry up and bring a new pot of tea!"
"Okay, uncle!"
…
At the time of Xu, the cave of Sixth Elder Ming Yi was still brightly lit, and people came to give gifts from time to time. In order to entertain the visitors, a small courtyard was built in the woods in front of the cave.
Several spacious red pavilions and flower corridors were set up in the courtyard, equipped with tea tables and chairs, and now several tables were filled.
The Sixth Elder Ming Yi was still entertaining the distinguished guests from the Lingbing Palace in Huang Yu Palace. Here, his double monk Murong Yu and his disciples were entertaining them, and many guests came to congratulate him.
Murong Yu was dressed in red, graceful and dignified, with a smile like a flower, as if she could not hide the joy on her face.
Her husband, Mu Tianming, has been promoted to the golden elixir elder after overcoming the calamity. For this reason, the sect has invited all the families in Yunzhou to hold a golden elixir ceremony. In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of guests from all over the country bringing gifts to the door to congratulate her. How could she not be happy? Raise your eyebrows!
"Junior Brother Liu!" Murong Yu just sent away a senior uncle from the "Shangzi Lineage" of the sect. Then he saw three spiritual lights falling outside the courtyard. They were Junior Brother Xuanyu from the Xuanzi Lineage, and two of his subordinates. Disciples, nephew Xuanchang and nephew Xuanshui.
"Sister Murong, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Disciple Xuanchang pays homage to his uncle"
"Disciple Xuan Shui pays homage to his uncle"
Liu Yu led Xuanchang and Xuanshui, who were holding red cloth gift boxes in both hands, to come forward to congratulate them.
"Come and sit inside!" Murong Yu took a few steps forward and greeted with a smile.
"Sister, is Elder Ming Yi here?" Liu Yu said respectfully as he walked inside.
"Junior brother doesn't need to be born, just call him Ming Yi from now on!" Murong Yu said with a smile.
"Okay senior sister!" Liu Yu replied with a laugh.
"Ming Yi is still in the Huang Yu Palace and will be back later. Junior brother, please sit down and have some tea first!" Murong Yu then continued.
"Senior brother, he must be very busy these days. Senior sister, you are here too. This is my heartfelt wish. I congratulate senior brother on his happy marriage. I hope senior sister will not dislike it!"
After waving to the Xuanchang couple behind them, they immediately came forward with a ceremony case with the word "Fu" in both hands. Liu Yu lifted the red cloth on the case and congratulated.
On one of the wooden tables, there are twenty sets of spiritual materials for the "Spirit Gathering Talisman Array", that is, one hundred fourth-grade "Spirit Gathering Talisman", and more than a dozen bottles of "Spiritual Dust" needed for the formation.
Secondly, there are nine spiritual tickets with a face value of 100,000 yuan. On the nine spiritual tickets, there is a "golden branch entwined with dragon embroidered red Taoist robe", which is a sixth-grade robe.
The format is exquisite, the color is festive, it can ward off dust and evil spirits, and you can tell it was made by a famous artist at a glance.
"Junior brother usually lives in seclusion and seldom walks around the sect. If you can come and sit here, you are thoughtful. There is no need to give these things!" Murong Yu said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Mingyi successfully overcame the tribulation and was promoted to the Golden Core Realm. He has become a role model for us. It is a great blessing for the sect. Senior Sister must accept this small gift!" Liu Yu said hurriedly.
"Okay! Senior sister will accept it first for Ming Yi!" Murong Yu waved slightly, and the disciples waiting at the side took the red cloth gift case from the hands of Xuanchang and his wife.
At this moment, several more sword lights fell, and two middle-aged Taoists walking in front, a man and a woman, the man was elegant and tall, and the woman was graceful and graceful, like a pair of beautiful women.
The woman was holding a swaddled baby in her arms. Under the man's amusement, she just let out a crisp laugh of "luck, chuck".
"Senior Brother Xuanming, Senior Sister Lingxue are here, welcome, welcome!" Murong Yu hurriedly turned around to greet him. Senior Brother Xuanming is the son of the fourth elder Xuanmu, and Senior Sister Lingxue next to him is his dual cultivator, and they are well-known in the sect. of great beauty.
I heard that Senior Sister Lingxue's family wanted to find a son-in-law in the sect, but after several searches, they never found a suitable candidate.
Finally, under the persuasion of the Zhou family, they gave up the idea of recruiting a son-in-law, and became a Taoist couple with the always rebellious senior brother Xuan Ming, and married into the sect of the fourth elder.
"Congratulations! Congratulations!" Taoist Xuanming waved as he spoke, asking the disciples behind him to bring the congratulatory gifts.
On the three long ceremony tables, there are twenty "Qingke Dan" pills, a stack of large spiritual tickets, several high-quality magical instruments and other gifts.
"The fourth elder has already sent a gift to Ming Yi. This little girl cannot accept it. Brother Xuanming, please take it back quickly!" Murong Yu hurriedly declined.
"The gift from my father can only be regarded as a congratulatory gift from my father. These are the wishes of Lingxue and I, accept them quickly!" Taoist Xuanming said immediately.
"No! No!" Murong Yu continued to refuse.
"Hey! Pindao and Lingxue still want to get a hold of Senior Brother Mingyi's destiny. They hope that they can survive the tribulation as smoothly in the future. Accept it quickly!" Seeing that Murong Yu wanted to refuse, Taoist Xuanming smiled. said.
"That being the case, the little sister thanked senior brother and senior sister for Ming Yi!" Murong Yu thanked him and asked someone to accept the gift.
"Xuanyu has met senior brother Xuanming and senior sister Lingxue!" After Murong Yu accepted the gift, Liu Yu stepped forward to say hello.
"It's Junior Brother Xuanyu!" Taoist Xuanming nodded slightly.
"Master's nephew Xuanchang!"
"Master Nephew Xuanshui!"
"Meet the two masters!"
"I've met all of you, senior brothers!" Xuanchang and his wife also followed up and saluted.
…
During a while of greetings, Murong Yu led everyone to a pavilion and sat down. He asked people to bring tea, cakes and various bright spiritual fruits, and began to chat about daily life.
Not long after, "Taimu Taoist", the head of the Li family in Yue Kingdom, led a group of clan members to come to congratulate him. Murong Yu could only apologize repeatedly and stood up to greet them. He had no time to entertain Xuan Ming, Xuan Yu and others.
Murong Yu has been quite busy these days.
"Wow! Wow!" While everyone was chatting, the baby in Lingxue's hand started crying. The little guy didn't even have all his teeth. He grabbed a fat white jujube and stuffed it into his mouth. , was taken away by his mother Lingxue, and she started crying.
"Yu'er, be good!" Lingxue softly comforted the child while patting it gently, but the little guy was crying so hard that he had no intention of stopping for a while.
"Uncle, let Ruoshui comfort you!" Seeing that the little guy kept crying, Zhou Ruoshui, who was already a mother, stepped forward and took the little guy from Lingxue's arms.
"Oh! I won't give you dates, right? How pitiful!"
"Yu'er, don't cry! Yu'er, be good! Look what this is!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Zhou Ruoshui held the little guy in his arms and patted him gently, muttering to himself as he walked.
After a while, he took out a delicate little tiger skin rattle from the storage bag, shook it, and made a soft thump, thump sound. The little guy's eyes were slowly attracted to the rattle, and he gradually stopped crying.
…
"Senior Brother Xuanming, how old is Yu'er!" The little guy returned to his mother Lingxue's arms, holding a rattle in his hand. It shook and fell to the ground. Seeing that he was about to cry again, Liu Yu saw He couldn't help but smile and said.
"Four months!" Xuan Ming picked up the rattle from the ground with a doting look on his face.
"Have you passed the spiritual root qualification test?" Liu Yu asked immediately.
"I took the test a few days ago, and it turns out that the single spiritual root of the wood type is!" Xuan Ming patted the little guy's little head and said happily.
"Congratulations, senior brother, this is a happy event!" Liu Yu hurriedly congratulated.
"Yu'er's qualifications are only average!" Xuan Ming said modestly, and then jokingly said to Liu Yu: "Junior Brother Xuanyu, it's not a problem for you to be alone all the time. It's time to find someone. Is there anyone in the sect that you like? Let Xueer tell you!"
"I'm used to being alone!" Liu Yu shook her head and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, can Master return to the cave now?"
"When Xue'er and I came, his old man had already returned from Zhenbao Pavilion! Why, junior brother, do you have something important to do with him?" Xuan Ming asked immediately.
"It's nothing important. I just have some doubts about my practice recently and want to ask my master for advice!" Liu Yu hurriedly replied.
"Since the master is at home, I will take a step forward and visit his old man!" After saying that, he stood up and excused himself.
When leaving, he did not forget to tell Xuanchang and his wife to stay and sit for a while. He would later apologize to Senior Sister Murong for him and take the first step.
…
"Disciple Xuanyu asks for an audience!" Brother Mingyi's new cave is not far away from the fourth elder Xuanmu's cave. Soon Liu Yu came to Xuanmu's cave and asked for an audience outside the cave.
"Come in!" Junior Brother Ming Yi's Golden Elixir Ceremony is approaching. There are many guests on the mountain, and the people are a bit mixed. Therefore, Xuanmu was arranged by the sect leader to guard the "Jinbao Pavilion" for a period of time. He just returned to the cave to rest and has not yet started to meditate. Practice.
The gleaming forbidden barrier at the entrance of the cave dispersed with the sound, and Liu Yu immediately stepped into the Xuanmu Cave.
Over the years, Liu Yu encountered confusion in his practice, and Liu Yu often came to disturb his master Xuanmu Zhenren, so he was quite familiar with this cave, and soon came to Xuanmu Zhenren's stone practice room.
"Sit!" Although this boy's qualifications are average, his perseverance is acceptable. It is not easy for him to achieve his current level of cultivation. He is already the best among the second generation disciples of Xuanzimai.
To come here so late, he must have encountered some difficulty. After a while, this man opened his mouth, and if he could help, he would try his best to help him, Xuanmu thought in his heart.
"Thank you, Master!" Liu Yu took the tea made by Xuan Mu.
"Why are you looking for a poor man?" Master Xuanmu took a sip of the tea in his hand and asked casually.
"I wonder if Master knows that the upper level of the Treasure Pavilion contains a rare book that records the experience of "short-term continuous stimulation and manipulation of multiple high-level spiritual talismans", or special skills and spells related to this?" Liu Yu asked bluntly.
"Your cultivation has reached the stage of perfect foundation building. Just focus on cultivating the elixir energy to survive the thunder tribulation. Don't put your mind on these heresy!" Master Xuanmu frowned slightly and said.
"This disciple got this by chance in his early years. Please ask Master to take a look at it!" Liu Yu knew that Master had misunderstood, so he directly took out the "Shadow Tomb Order".
"This is..." Master Xuanmu took the strange blood-colored jade plaque handed over by Liu Yu. When he saw the two words "Evil Tomb" engraved on the jade plaque, he couldn't help but look solemn.
"With the resources of the Three Spiritual Roots, the disciple's hope of overcoming the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation is too slim. When the secret realm is opened, I want to use this order to try my luck and see if I can find some opportunities!" Liu Yu took a deep breath and said.
"If Pindao remembers correctly, the next time this order will be activated will be about forty-four years later. You can definitely catch up before you go through the tribulation."
"However, this place has always had a bad reputation in the world of cultivation, and you have to go far to the Luofenghai. The risk of this trip can be expected. If you are not careful, you may end up dead. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a narrow escape. Are you sure? Want to go?"
Master Xuanmu did not ask Liu Yu where this order came from, but bluntly stated the danger in it.
"Since it's an opportunity, why not go!" Liu Yu had made up her mind and replied with firm eyes.
"Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more."
"Pindao vaguely remembers that there are indeed a few volumes of secret records on "continuous stimulation and control of spiritual talismans" in the upper level of Zhenbao Pavilion."
"I think you are looking for these insights to make preparations for Luo Fenghai and his party. They will be loaned out in the name of Pindao in a few days. You can come to the cave study to read them. Don't make this matter public!" Master Xuanmu glanced at it. Liu Yu said after thinking for a moment.
"Disciple, I would like to thank my master in advance!" Liu Yu couldn't help but stand up and bow, saying gratefully.
Since he chose to go to the "Evil Bone Tomb" and embark on this journey, he had to make plans in advance. This place has a bad reputation. Although there is a great opportunity, it must be determined by fate.
If you want to seize a "Evil Jade Fruit" from this secret realm, this trip will definitely involve fighting with others and fighting to the death.
Even if you are fighting with others, you must use elixir energy. Even if you finally get the "Evil Jade Fruit", if you use up too much elixir energy and cannot make up for it before the tribulation is over, the gain may not be worth the loss.
Therefore, during this trip, while winning the "Evil Evil Jade Fruit", we must also try our best to reduce the consumption of our own elixir energy.
In this case, Liu Yu could only think of the "Tao of Talismans" that he was proficient in. In the fight, high-level spiritual talismans could be used continuously to replace the consumption of mana and elixir energy.
Nowadays, the several high-level spiritual talismans that I can draw, such as the "Red Sun Thunder Explosive Talisman", "Five Spirits Cutting Yuan Talisman", "Five Poison Explosive Miasma Talisman", etc., are all considered powerful among the sixth-grade talismans. Ranked among the best.
If it's just an ordinary battle, it's enough to bring a few more high-level talismans.
However, once you enter the "Evil Bone Tomb", the enemies you will encounter will definitely not be ordinary people.
If you really wait for a life-and-death duel, the opponent uses alchemy energy and simply throws a few high-level spiritual talismans. I'm afraid it's not enough.
If one can continuously activate high-level spiritual talismans in a short period of time or continuously instantaneously cast high-level spiritual talismans to fight against the enemy, not to mention winning by "crazy smashing of spiritual talismans", one can certainly achieve the goal of conserving one's own strength while consuming a large amount of the opponent's elixir energy.
It's just that it's not easy to continuously activate high-level spiritual talismans.
After so many years of dedicated research on the "Tao of Talisman", Liu Yu understands that in addition to the skill of stimulating spiritual talismans, it also depends on the control of the spiritual consciousness of the talisman, that is, the strength of his own cultivation and soul-regenerating soul power. .
Take activating a sixth-grade "Pyroblast Talisman" to attack the target as an example.
The entire attack process is to first use one's own magic power as a guide to ignite the surging fire spirit energy contained in the entire "Pyromaniac Talisman" in the talisman. Within a short period of time, it quickly condensed into a huge ball of flames.
Then, by consuming his spiritual consciousness, he continues to guide the flight path of the flaming ball, hitting the target directly, or when it is close to the target, detonating the entire flaming ball to injure the target.
This entire process consumes a lot of spiritual consciousness, and spiritual consciousness is the product of spiritual consciousness that consumes soul power and mana.
The guidance process consumes the most spiritual consciousness, because the target being attacked will not stay in place stupidly. When attacked by the magic talisman, the target will dodge or quickly retreat. In short, it will not easily let the magic talisman hit itself.
The faster the guided "flaming ball" flies and the farther it flies, the more difficult it is to control, and the more the talisman controller consumes his own consciousness.
Therefore, what is difficult is not simply activating the spiritual talismans continuously. It is rare to control several spiritual talismans at the same time to attack the same target or multiple targets.
This is still a relatively simple single fire attribute talisman such as the "Pyroblast Talisman". If it is a mixed talisman with five attributes of spiritual power at the same time, such as the "Five Spirits Cutting Element Talisman", it will be more difficult to activate and control.
Take Liu Yu himself as an example, with the strength of his soul power that he has practiced the "Tao Soul Heart Sutra" for more than 300 years, coupled with his skillful methods of stimulating various spiritual talismans.
You can control two or three sixth-grade "Pyroblast Talismans" at the same time to attack, but if you switch to the sixth-grade "Five Spirits Cutting Talisman", you can only activate one to fight the enemy.
If you want to enter the Evil Bone Tomb to obtain the "Evil Jade Fruit", you don't need to use elixir energy or use as little elixir energy as possible. This level is far from enough.
Only then did Liu Yu want to borrow the hands of his master, Xuanmu Zhenren, to see if there was any experience or secret technique in "stimulating and controlling multiple spiritual talismans" recorded in the upper level of Zhenbao Pavilion.
"That's right! You have this order, but does anyone else know about it?" Master Xuanmu thought of it, his face condensed, and he asked.
"This order was obtained when the Tianluo Tantric Sect went south... and its disciples were stationed at the Banpingshan Mine... and they killed a seven-star reincarnated dead man with Uncle Tuoba in the mine tunnel."
"At that time, apart from Master Tuoba, Master Shangguan also knew about it. Now that the two Masters have passed away, no one except the Master knows that the disciple has this order!"
Liu Yu briefly described the entire process of seizing the "Sha Tomb Order" from Hu Yanshi.
"That's good. You have this order in your hand. Don't mention it to others again. Be careful if it gets into the ears of the Xiahou family. Remember it!" Master Xuanmu warned carefully.
"Master, don't worry, this disciple knows how powerful it is!" Liu Yushen nodded and replied.
"Oh! I have one more thing I would like to ask you!" Liu Yu suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly.
"Say!" Master Xuanmu said bluntly.
"Master! How much does a seventh-grade "Alchemy Talisman" cost?" Liu Yu said expectantly.
