Chapter 270 Black-robed Insect Cultivator (two chapters in one)

At this point, the sacrifice of the Molten Blade has been initially completed.

At this time, 70% to 80% of the power of the spiritual weapon can be exerted, and the rest is a period of running-in. When the running-in is completed, the molten knife can fully exert its power.

This is Liu Yu's first top-quality spiritual weapon.

Acquiring this magical weapon means that his strength has officially entered the high-end of the foundation-building realm, surpassing most foundation-building monks.

At this time, if he encounters an opponent like Li Bu Tong, Liu Yu has the confidence to deal with him with the help of the Jingshen Thorn and the Molten Knife when both sides do not use their trump cards.

Even if he is not his opponent yet, he is somewhat sure of escaping unharmed.

Although he really wanted to try the edge of the best spiritual weapon, the environment like Yudantang obviously couldn't withstand the tossing, so Liu Yu had to give up and put the molten fire knife into the storage bag.

Then he took out the refined Yangyuan Pill, swallowed it, started to practice the exercises, and started his daily practice.

The refining difficulty of Yangyuan Pill is similar to that of Qingyuan Pill, but the age of the spiritual grass required is much lower than that of the latter, making it more suitable for sale.

Qing Yuan Dan is an ancient prescription, and it is extremely powerful for monks in the early stages of foundation building. However, the required age of the spiritual grass is older than that of Yang Yuan Dan, so it is not suitable for sale.

If other monks had seen this ancient prescription and saw Liu Yu selling a large amount of Qing Yuan Dan, they would definitely wonder where so many high-aged spiritual herbs came from.

Therefore, Liu Yu only sold a small amount of Qing Yuan Dan. He mainly relied on the second-level low-grade Jing Yuan Dan to earn spiritual stones. As for the second-level middle-grade Yang Yuan Dan, he planned to put it in the store in another twenty or thirty years.

As long as the spiritual stone is enough, Liu Yu knows what he needs and will not lose the big for the small.

…

Time flies, and three months have passed.

During the past three months, Liu Yu spent three hours a day completing daily practice, one hour warming up the magical artifacts, and the rest of the time attending various auctions and gatherings with foundation-building monks.

But I don’t know if it’s because the good use was exhausted, but the harvest was very little, and the shadow of the best defensive spiritual weapon was not seen.

To get rid of erysipelas, I collected a relatively rare "Earth Stone Dark Milk". I spent 500 spirit stones, but the effect after using it was unsatisfactory.

Some of the erysipelas has been eliminated, but most of it is still accumulated in various meridians like maggots attached to bones.

Most of the erysipelas removed were the erysipelas left behind by taking the elixir during the Qi refining period, and were superficial erysipelas with a shallow entanglement.

When a monk is in the Qi refining stage, the gaseous mana and the physical body are not so closely combined. The medicinal power of the elixir is refined into mana, and most of the erysipelas flows with the mana, so naturally it will not be deposited too deeply.

But in the foundation building stage, the physical body has been washed by spiritual energy. While the physical body is strengthened in all directions, it is also more closely integrated with the magic power. While practicing, the physical body will be passively strengthened, and the erysipelas will naturally be deposited deeper.

Therefore, it is more difficult to remove erysipelas produced after the foundation building period.

Liu Yu wanted to get rid of this part of erysipelas, so he naturally needed a more effective "detoxification spiritual substance".

Considering that after purchasing the Molten Knife, there were only more than 5,000 spiritual stones left in the storage bag, it was a long way from buying the best defensive spiritual weapon.

In the past few months, he disguised himself and went to auctions and gatherings with monks. At the same time, he also sold a batch of Jingyuan Pills and Yangyuan Pills one after another, bringing the spiritual stone back to around 13,000.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Liu Yu finished his practice, opened the formation and went downstairs. He nodded slightly to the clerk who greeted him, and then left the Jade Alchemy Hall, preparing to attend an exchange meeting held by a well-known casual cultivator.

Second-level elixirs are relatively rare. After some publicity, many foundation-building monks came to buy them. Some monks came often and gradually became familiar with them. After becoming familiar with each other, the share of twenty bottles of elixirs per year was naturally given to them first.

It was through these monks that Jiang Qiushui learned about the many monk gatherings held near Jinxingfang City, and then informed Liu Yu.

It is worth mentioning that although Liu Yu temporarily stayed at the Jade Pill Hall, he did not interfere in the management of the store. Even if a monk purchased the Jingyuan Pill, it was Jiang Qiushui who came forward.

"I will stay in Jinxingfang City for another three months to see if there is anything I want in the next Jinxing Auction House auction. If it is not possible, I will go back to the sect to find a way."

"There is no imminent crisis at the moment, and we are far from the bottleneck in the later stage. It is better to be on the safe side and not rush for a while."

This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and then she skillfully walked into a remote and hidden alley to complete the change. He disguised himself as a middle-aged Taoist priest in a yellow robe with his hair disheveled, and then walked slowly towards the east gate with slow steps.

Casual cultivators embark on the path of cultivating immortals for various reasons, and their cultivation qualifications and even circumstances vary greatly. Most of them are people who have reached the middle stage of Qi refining and are unable to purchase low-grade magic weapons.

But after all, there is a huge base, and there are also a few "reckless heroes" who have gone through hardships and stood out. For example, Yan Wuyou, who was chased by the Qingxu Sect and fled into Qingzhou, most of the sect disciples did not dare to look down on him, and would call him "Brother Yan" when they met him.

Qingsong Laodao, the casual cultivator who took the lead in holding this exchange meeting, is this kind of person and is the best among thousands of casual cultivators.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu walked into a teahouse called "Fengyu Tower" at the east gate.

"Senior, did you just come to join the party?"

Immediately a young man came up to him and asked respectfully.

"good."

Liu Yu looked around the teahouse and said calmly.

"Okay, senior, please go to the second floor. Many seniors are already here."

"This junior wants to greet the guests, so I won't accompany him."

The young man said enthusiastically, pointing to the stairs not far away.

Liu Yu nodded slightly, then walked towards the second floor of Fengyu Building, and soon saw the scene inside.

The space, which is about ten feet long and wide, is decorated in a simple and natural way. The placement of decorations seems random, but it implies a certain pattern. What you see at first glance is pleasing to the eye, and it has a Taoist charm of tranquility and inaction.

At this time, there were more than a dozen square tables set up inside, and about a dozen people had already arrived and were chatting with each other. None of them had a cultivation level lower than the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Fellow Daoist Hong is indeed here, but he hasn't found the detoxifying spirit yet?"

A pretty female cultivator with heavy makeup caught a glimpse of Liu Yu and said hello with a smile.

"Yes, I have been busy for so long, but I have achieved nothing."

A smile appeared on Liu Yu's face and she replied politely.

The circle of monks in the foundation-building stage is only that big. He has attended gatherings like this several times in the past three months, so naturally he is familiar with some of them, to the extent that he can call them by name.

As for why ordinary monks were so short of medicinal elixirs and still had deep accumulation of erysipelas, no monks had any ill-informed questions, and Liu Yu had no intention of explaining to them.

After being able to practice to the foundation building stage, every monk has his own secret. It is extremely taboo to carelessly explore the secrets of other monks. This kind of monk is very rare, and there is no telling when they will disappear in the world of immortality.

Liu Yu did not join their conversation, but sat down at the table next to them, politely greeting people he knew, and keeping a certain distance.

Seeing Liu Yu's neither salty nor cool attitude, the female cultivator with heavy make-up had no intention of sticking her warm face to her cold butt. After saying hello, she turned around and continued talking to the familiar person.

This monk surnamed Hong, who needed a "detoxifying spirit", was a bit mysterious in her eyes, which made her curious and wanted to know more about it. However, he maintained a distant attitude while being polite and made people unable to approach him, so he had to give up.

"Fellow Daoist Qingshi, seeing how happy you are, you must have gained a lot from your last trip to the mountain, right?"

"Old Wei, I haven't seen you in just five years, and you have actually broken through to the late stage of foundation building?!"

Liu Yu sat alone at a table, poured a cup of spiritual tea and drank it herself. At the same time, she looked around and listened in all directions, trying to collect useful information.

After drinking a cup of spiritual tea, Liu Yu noticed that there was a table where the monk was sitting alone.

This man was dressed in black robes and had a pale face. The hood covered most of his face, making it difficult to see his face clearly. A kind of cold and distant temperament emerged spontaneously.

He is in the middle stage of foundation building. The most eye-catching thing is that there are several cloth bags hanging on his waist, and the storage bag is just one of them.

"Spiritual Beast Bag, could this person be a monk from the Yuling Sect of the Yan Kingdom?"

Liu Yu's heart moved, and she recognized the bags of the man in black robes as spirit beast bags at a glance.

There are no sects in Chu State that specialize in driving spirit beasts. Even among the five major sects, there are very few monks with spirit beasts, and even fewer have practiced to the level of foundation building.

On the other hand, the Yuling Sect of the Yan Kingdom is good at controlling beasts, and it is as large as the Yuanyang Sect. There are many disciples in the sect who control spirit beasts.

No wonder Liu Yu had such an association. The branches of Venus are rich in resources for cultivating immortals. What's even more rare is that they have basically not been exploited by human monks, so they have been attracting some immortal cultivators from inland countries to take risks here.

It seemed that because Liu Yu had been looking at him for a long time, the man in black robe turned his head and looked at him coldly, his eyes cold and sharp.

Liu Yu looked away calmly and continued to listen to the information exchanged by the monks. He didn't think much about it. After all, it was normal to meet monks from other countries here.

As time passed, more and more monks came to join the gathering. Finally, there were twenty people, and no one joined them for a while.

At this time, an old Taoist wearing a green Taoist robe and a long black beard walked up and said:

"I am a poor Taoist, Qingsong. Thank you all fellow Taoists for showing me some kindness and coming to support me."

"The purpose of holding this exchange meeting as a bridge is to exchange information between my fellow colleagues. If there are any differences of opinion later, I hope that all my colleagues will not hurt the harmony."

"It's almost time. Let's start the exchange meeting now. The rules will be implemented as in a normal exchange meeting. I believe you all understand, so I won't go into details."

"Pindao, as the host this time, will be the first to introduce the opportunity."

As he spoke, Old Taoist Qingsong gently touched the storage bag, took out a light red demon pill and said:

"A second-level high-grade fire-attribute demonic beast inner elixir. It is well-preserved and contains rich fire-attribute aura. Whether it is used for practicing martial arts or refining elixirs, it will be of great benefit to our generation."

"This demon pill can be exchanged for spiritual stones. Each fellow Taoist has only one chance to bid. The one with the highest price will get it."

"Wanted fellow Taoists can send messages to Pindao."

After saying this, many monks' eyes flashed with emotion. After all, this demon elixir is as high as the second-level high-grade, which corresponds to the cultivation level of the monks in the later stage of foundation building.

This is a rare thing for monks in the early and middle stages of foundation building. It is especially useful for some monks who practice fire attribute skills. Other monks can also use it to exchange things for things they need. .

So a monk immediately thought about it, estimated the value of this demon pill, and then sent a message to Qingsong Old Taoist with his spiritual consciousness.

Although Liu Yu practiced fire-attribute skills, he had pills to take. There was no demand for the fire-attribute demon pill, so he did not bid.

Qingyang Demonic Fire needs some kind of "energy" in the body and soul as fuel. The demonic elixir leaves the demonic beast's body, and there is no demonic beast's essence stored in it, so naturally it cannot provide fuel for the demonic fire.

After all, this exchange meeting was just a small-scale exchange of what was needed among the foundation-building monks. There were not many rare resources, not even as good as some small auctions.

Liu Yu came here just to try his luck. He was prepared in advance, so he couldn't be disappointed.

But what was trivial to him was not the same to other monks.

As treasures were taken out one by one, and what they wanted was successfully exchanged time and time again, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became heated.

But only half of them successfully concluded the deal, and half of the monks took out treasures that no one cared about, or chose to refuse the deal when they saw the spiritual object they wanted.

As time passed, it was the turn of the man in black robe who was suspected to be a monk from the Yuling Sect. He sat calmly without getting up. He took out a water-blue bead and placed it on the table, saying coldly:

"The top-grade defensive weapon, the Purple Source Pearl, is exchanged for the second-grade high-grade spiritual mulberry leaf."

"If any fellow Taoist has a second-order spiritual mulberry leaf, I'm willing to pay a high price to buy it."

"If there is any news about Lingsang, let me know and you can get a certain reward."

As soon as the man in black robe spoke, there was silence. The monks participating in the exchange meeting looked at each other, with a trace of pity in each other's eyes. It was obvious that no monk had a metal spiritual mulberry leaf that reached the second-level high-grade.

Some monks rolled their eyes and thought that providing information would be beneficial, so they started to fool around.

"Could this person be one of the few "insect cultivators" among the beast-controlling cultivators?"

"It's a pity that the spiritual trees that can produce spiritual mulberry are extremely rare. They are even rarer than the rare spiritual grass that is five hundred years old. What's more, the grade is as high as the second-level high-grade. I'm afraid this person will be disappointed."

Liu Yu sat motionless like an old pine, silently watching everything in the field, this thought flashed through his mind.

A top-quality defensive magic weapon is worth at least one thousand two hundred spiritual stones, which makes many monks feel anxious. Unfortunately, there are no second-level spiritual mulberry leaves, so they can only watch helplessly.

After about ten breaths, the man in black robe stretched out his hand to take back the Purple Source Strain. It was obvious that the exchange ended in failure.

But when his hand was about to touch the magic weapon, he suddenly paused, and then he freely put the magic weapon back into the storage bag.

"The divine consciousness transmits the message. Could there be another way to get what this person needs?"

"Just why not do the deal above board?"

From the beginning, Liu Yu felt that this person was a little different from the other monks who participated in the exchange meeting, so he paid more attention and happened to notice this scene.

However, the divine sound transmission was extremely secretive and had minimal fluctuations, and did not require physical movements. Wriggling lips was just a habit of ordinary monks, and he did not know who sent the sound transmission.

After the man in black robe, two more people passed, and finally it was Liu Yu's turn.

"Hong needs a spiritual object that can remove erysipelas in the foundation-building stage."
