After testing the defense and attack aspects, Liu Yu was greatly satisfied with the results.
"good."
Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction.
He stretched out his palm, and the Chiyan Tower shrank to the size of a palm again, becoming small and delicate, slowly rotating, and the tower emitted a bright red aura.
After getting familiar with the performance of this spiritual weapon for a while, he put it into the storage bag.
"Gulu"
Liu Yu sat cross-legged, took out a spirit-restoring pill, raised her head and swallowed it, and began to practice the "wonderful method of preserving the spirit" with her eyes.
After the elixir entered the abdomen, a coolness soon rose from the abdomen and floated towards the Niwan Palace.
It neutralizes the pain of refining the spirit caused by practicing the Mystical Method of Presence of God, and nourishes the soul subtly.
There were thin beads of sweat on his calm and ordinary face, and his eyelashes trembled from time to time. It was obvious that he was not as calm as he appeared.
Although the Nourishing Pill can alleviate the pain caused by practice, it cannot completely eliminate it.
The pain from the soul, even if there is only a trace left, is many times greater than the pain of the physical body.
However, after decades of persistence, Liu Yu has long been accustomed to this kind of pain.
As he tempered his soul in an orderly manner, his state of mind became more and more calm, silently enduring the pain.
It has been two hours since the four "Shen Shen Miao Technique" exercises were completed.
"call"
Liu Qing opened his dark pupils, feeling the increase in consciousness, and frowned slightly.
Since the spiritual consciousness has been raised to eleven miles, the spiritual consciousness gained by practicing the "Mystical Method of Preserving God" has become less and less.
There are three reasons why this is the case now.
On the one hand, the higher the spiritual consciousness is, the more difficult it becomes. For every inch of improvement after ten miles, the difficulty will be twice that of ten miles ago.
On the one hand, taking too many nourishing pills has gradually led to drug resistance.
The last aspect is that the realm of spiritual consciousness has exceeded the peak of foundation building and is two realms higher than the level of cultivation.
The strength of spiritual consciousness is closely related to the realm of cultivation. The two do not exist independently. In short, cultivation "holds back".
It is precisely because of three reasons that the improvement of soul and consciousness has become slow.
Liu Yu frowned and then relaxed. Although the improvement of spiritual consciousness has become much slower, it is still better than ordinary monks who can only passively improve as their realm improves.
"Still greedy."
He laughed at himself, then adjusted his mentality, closed his eyes, pinched the spell, and used the Qingyang Kung to polish his magic power.
As time went by, a green light gradually appeared on his face.
While Liu Yu was practicing, the aftermath of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain was gradually spreading.
The impact of this incident gradually spread throughout the Yan Kingdom.
Baiyunguan deceived and set up an ambush in the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain". Although Changfeng was well prepared, he was still seriously injured.
Including Master Changfeng, only three Master Jindan escaped back to the camp.
Several other Jindan masters who had come to seek refuge with Yan State had no news after that battle, so it was probably a disaster.
Yuanyang Sect was furious and immediately launched a storm-like offensive against Xianque City.
Using usually relatively mild methods, a bloody attack was launched against the large and small forces in Yan State that were unwilling to "take sides".
And the Nascent Soul Ancestors from both sides didn’t show up for some reason.
…
Time flies, and half a month passes in an instant.
Liu Yu continued to maintain the beam of light about what happened after the "Battle of Tianwang Mountain" and felt a little strange about the sect's uncharacteristic attitude.
During this half month, I took the time to visit the main camp of Xianque City to learn the latest information.
"Unexpectedly, Master Changfeng's injuries were more serious than imagined."
"It actually hurts the origin of the golden elixir. It is likely to have an unpredictable impact on the birth of a baby and reduce the chance of a baby."
"No wonder the sect's attitude has changed drastically."
In the practice room in Yongtai Fang City, Liu Yu finished his practice and thought silently.
Master Changfeng is the most powerful Jindan cultivator in the sect, and he also has the greatest hope of conceiving a baby. He has always been placed in high hopes by Patriarch Tianfeng and was cultivated as the "Nascent Soul Seed".
If something like this happens, it will certainly make Patriarch Tianfeng furious.
The only attitude of the Yuan Ying ancestor is the attitude of the sect. No wonder the sect's behavior will change drastically.
Thinking about the situation in Yan State, countless thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, rising and shattering like stars, and finally returning to peace.
Finally, I walked out of the practice room.
In the past half month, he has summoned all the major and minor forces around Yongtai Fang City.
After some "discussions", a consensus was reached with these forces to retain their original territories, industries and interests.
The price is that they need to send some monks to be dispatched, and at the same time they need to help maintain the stability of this area.
"Rumble"
The stone door slowly opened, and Liu Yu, wearing a black robe, walked out of it.
"Master!"
When Yingge and Yanwu heard the movement, they quickly walked over, bent their soft bodies, and saluted respectfully.
"Um."
Liu Yu nodded expressionlessly and walked straight to the bathroom.
Yan Wu knew his master's habits and followed him step by step.
Clothes and water are ready, and the water will be replaced with new warm water every once in a while when it gets cold.
The bathroom door was open, and mist was billowing from it.
After Liu Yu walked in, he raised his arm.
Yan Wu, who was wearing a dark red dress and exquisite makeup, approached cautiously and took off her clothes gently.
Even though this scene had happened countless times, she still had two blushes on her face and felt inexplicably ashamed.
At the same time, her eyes were shining, and there was some inexplicable expectation in her heart.
Looking forward to being "lucky" by the master one day, so that he can fly up the branches and become a phoenix, realizing a class jump.
Of course Liu Yu could guess what the little maid was thinking. She was not very interested in pure physical pleasure.
This little maid's figure and appearance were considered to be excellent, but she was still not as good as Jiang Qiu Shui. If necessary, he could go to Jiang Qiu Shui.
A little physical pleasure is just a spice on the road to immortality, and he will not indulge in it.
What's more, the little maid can't run away and can pick it anytime she wants.
For monks in the foundation building stage, it can be seen at a glance whether the maid in the middle stage of Qi Refining is a virgin.
At the moment, Jiang Qiushui is still needed to handle internal and external affairs, and Liu Yu doesn't want to irritate his right-hand man, otherwise he won't be able to act as a hands-off shopkeeper.
In the past two years, many forces have made excuses to send maids over, but after comprehensive consideration, he still refused.
Otherwise, this cave would have become a "harem" long ago, and it would be lively with Yingying Yanyan, instead of being so "deserted" now.
Liu Yu took off her clothes and entered the pool.
Soon, a weak, boneless hand stretched out.
Under Yan Wu's service, Liu Yu quickly finished bathing, put on a brand new black robe, and appeared in the hall.
"Sir, please have some tea."
Not long after sitting down, Yingge came over with a steaming cup of spiritual tea in both hands, and spoke with a meek expression and a clear and pleasant voice.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Liu Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, nodded in praise, then put the teacup on the tray, took out a talisman-making classic from Bai Lianhua, and started to read slowly.
As for the two maids Yingge and Yanwu, they stood quietly aside and did not dare to make any loud noises.
As maids, they are certainly not qualified to sit in front of their master.
…
When the cup of spiritual tea was finished and Liu Yu was about to let Yingge get another cup, a cold voice suddenly came from the door of the cave.
"Senior brother, Qiu Shui needs to see you for something."
Although the two have known each other for decades and had many close exchanges, the etiquette cannot be discarded.
"Junior sister, come in."
Liu Yu's lips moved, and her consciousness instantly transmitted the voice to the visitor's ears.
After a while, a beautiful and charming female cultivator walked in with hasty steps.
It's Jiang Qiushui!
Her face was solemn at this time, as if she had something important going on.
When he saw the two maids standing on both sides, he frowned and his face turned cold, and said coldly:
"You have nothing to do here."
"You can go down now!"
When Yingge and Yanwu heard this scolding order, they were a little at a loss and could only look to their master for help.
Jiang Qiushui obviously had something important to do, so Liu Yu did not brush her off and waved her hand to signal the two women to get down.
Of course, the status of the two maids in the Qi refining stage could not be compared with that of his junior sisters, so he didn't care.
Soon, there were only two people left in the cave.
Jiang Qiushui looked much better when he saw the two girls leaving, and gently kneaded next to Liu Yu.
She could tell at a glance that the two women were still virgins, and she felt a lot more comfortable.
"Brother, I just received the news."
"Around Yongtaifang City, a "Liujin Stone Mine" in the original Baiyun Temple was forcibly occupied by the Hehuan Sect monks on pretexts."
"According to the five sects' agreed rules, that Liujin stone vein should belong to us."
Jiang Qiu Shui's face was solemn and he spoke his intention slowly.
This matter involved the Hehuan Sect. She couldn't make the decision and had to ask her senior brother for instructions.
"Ryukite vein?"
"If Liu remembers correctly, the mines here are temporarily under the care of Zhao Jiaqiang, and the Zhao family has sent a foundation-building monk to stay permanently."
"Where is the foundation-building monk?"
When Liu Yu heard this, his eyes suddenly became dark and dark, and he asked.
"Brother, the foundation-building monk from the Zhao family has died at the hands of the Hehuanmen monks."
"The monks from the Hehuan Sect used the Zhao family's children to attack them for no reason and detained thirteen monks from the Zhao family."
"Then the Zhao family's foundation was asked to go there in person. Shortly after the Zhao family's foundation left the mine, the soul lamp went out."
"Then the Hehuanmen monks forcibly occupied the Liujin Stone Mine."
"Senior brother, I'm afraid that the Hehuanmen team has been planning for a long time!"
Jiang Qiushui replied quickly, a trace of worry flashed across his delicate face.
The change in the Liujin Stone Mine occurred in just one day, so fast that the team had no time to react.
This is obviously not accidental, but planned for a long time.
Liujin stone is a highly valuable ore, from which a magical weapon refining material "Liujin sand" can be extracted. Just one tael costs fifty spiritual stones.
Liujin sand is suitable for refining high-grade metallic instruments and can be used as the main material.
Even for refining top-quality metal instruments, they can also be used as auxiliary materials.
The value of this Liujin stone vein is very considerable, and it can definitely be regarded as the lifeblood of small and medium-sized forces.
Liu Yu nodded slightly, and then fell into thinking.
First of all, this valuable Liujin stone vein must not be given up easily. This is not only its own value, but also related to one's own interests.
After occupying the mineral vein, this becomes the property of the sect.
If you throw it out of your own hands, the meaning will be completely different.
If you don't say it, you will end up with a reputation of "losing power and humiliating the sect" and ruining your future in the sect.
The names "Qingyang Old Demon" and "Qingyangzi" have become a joke, and the image they have worked so hard to build will collapse.
Destruction is far simpler than building.
The senior leaders of the sect will never like a disciple who "loses power and humiliates the sect", nor will they allow a monk with a reputation of being "weak" to enter the core and become a true successor.
The main purpose of Liu Yu's trip to the Yan Kingdom was just to collect the spiritual grass for refining the golden elixir. He had no intention of working hard for the glory and interests of the sect.
But the behavior of the monks from the Hehuan Sect had unintentionally seriously damaged his interests.
As long as he dares to take half a step back, the "personality" and "image" he has maintained for a long time will collapse, and the situation will become very different.
Liu Yu can accept a good reputation or a bad reputation, but he cannot accept a weak reputation.
This move by the Hehuanmen team not only took away the interests of Yuanyang Sect, but also destroyed his "intangible property".
"Can't retreat!"
This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind.
In the world of cultivating immortals, giving in often leads to no peace, and what you get in exchange is mostly pushing the envelope.
Only by punching back hard, beating it until it bleeds like pillars, and pulling out its claws one by one, can the other party not dare to go even half a step beyond the thunder pool.
"I already understand this matter."
"Junior sister, immediately send a monk to negotiate with the Hehuanmen team and tell him that his attitude must be tough."
"If the other party refuses to return it."
"We will fight at all costs!"
"Since the other party doesn't care about the current alliance of the five sects, we don't have to worry about it either."
Having made a decision in his heart, Liu Yu looked cold and said decisively.
Although I have made a decision in my heart and am ready for war, it would be best if the matter can be resolved through negotiation.
"yes."
Sensing his senior brother's firm attitude, Jiang Qiushui's expression turned solemn and he quickly replied, while at the same time a feeling of peace of mind arose in his heart.
It is precisely because of this kind of strong strength and determined will that senior brothers are worthy of being relied on and entrusted to them for life.
"Reorganize the team immediately and prepare to fight the Hehuanmen monks. Everything will be done as Liu said just now."
"Junior sister, go down and make arrangements immediately."
Liu Yu nodded slightly, her expression softened slightly, and she spoke softly to Jiang Qiushui.
"Understood, senior brother."
"Qiu Shui will make arrangements here."
Jiang Qiushui nodded slightly, with a smile on his bright face, and said obediently.
Then he stood up, gave a slight blessing, and walked out of the cave. Miaoman's figure quickly disappeared.
"Liujin Stone Mine"
Liu Yu murmured to himself.
After this incident, he was not in a good mood and had no intention of reading the classics anymore.
After a while, he got up and walked outside the cave, intending to enjoy the moonlight tonight. 8)
