Chapter 658 Commoner League

"It's getting late today. It's really a pleasure to be able to chat with fellow Taoists from the ancient city for a long time."

"Farewell, Mr. Guo will visit again soon!"

Guo Poyun handed over his hand and said meaningfully.

"Fellow Daoist Guo, walk slowly, we are waiting for you at any time!"

Liu Yu said with a smile, personally sent him outside the cave and watched him go away.

Watching its retreating figure, his eyes gradually deepened until it completely disappeared, then he turned around and returned to the small pavilion.

After a more formal exchange just now, Liu Yu learned about the organization behind Guo Poyun, called the "Buyi Alliance".

It is considered a relatively powerful organization of casual cultivators and has quite a reputation among casual cultivators.

He also revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, that there was more than one Nascent Soul Lord in the "Buyi Alliance".

Since he has the intention to join, Liu Yu will of course collect relevant intelligence during this period. According to the information collected, the "Buyi Alliance" forces are indeed deeply rooted in Jiangzhou.

Although it is still unable to compete with the sect family, it can be considered as a firm foothold and has the ability to "bargain".

"I wonder if this person will bring what Liu wants next time he comes?"

Packing the tea sets in her hands, Liu Yu had various thoughts in her mind.

As a prerequisite for joining, he first put forward two conditions. Only if the other organization can meet them will they consider joining.

One is to help collect the spiritual grass for refining the "Soul Condensing Pill".

Even if you stay in Shenjing City, it will take a long time to collect the missing spiritual herbs that are beneficial to the soul.

Therefore, this time, I brought it up.

Whether the soul is powerful or not will have a big impact on the broken pill becoming a baby. Of course, the sooner it can be refined, the better.

Of course, in order to prevent the elixir recipe from leaking, Liu Yu added a few redundant third-level spiritual grasses to it, so there was no need to worry about the elixir recipe being leaked.

The second is a spiritual consciousness technique, which requires at least being able to practice to the Nascent Soul realm.

Like "Qingyang Gong", "Chen Shen Miao Dharma" is also incomplete, and there is no follow-up after reaching the golden elixir realm.

But fortunately, I have the general outline of the technique in my hands. As long as I collect enough information, I can deduce it by myself through the Immortal Mansion.

Maybe the skill will be better than the skill and even better than the original skill.

As for "Qingyang Kung" being the fundamental skill, Liu Yu did not want to leak the information easily, lest the "Buyi Alliance" take control of his life.

For now, he still wants to try to find it by himself. If he has no choice, he will find another way out.

"tread"

Seeing Guo Poyun leaving, Zhuo Mengzhen quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to help clean up the tea sets, while asking:

"how?"

She only had a middle-level cultivation of Jindan, and her strength was not outstanding. She knew that she was not qualified to negotiate terms with the other organization, so Liu Yu took the lead in everything.

"Buyi League."

Liu Yu's thoughts flashed and he was thinking about it, but he still answered and slowly talked about the information about the Buyi League.

Although casual cultivators have grown to a certain level, due to the suppression of Qian Ting, sects, and aristocratic families, it will be difficult to obtain rare resources for promotion to high levels, especially strategic resources such as Jingjin Dan and Ningying Dan.

However, due to the vastness of the Central Territory and the rich resources for cultivating immortals, the number of casual cultivators far exceeds that of Tiannan.

Among such a huge base, there will always be a very small number of "lucky ones" who can break the pill and become a baby or even travel to the ethereal state.

Therefore, in the Central Territory, there are actually many large and small casual cultivating organizations, but most of them are insignificant.

According to the attitude towards the sects and aristocratic families, all casual cultivating organizations can be roughly divided into two factions.

The "radicals" who believe that the contradiction is irreconcilable and must take up the magic weapon and fight to the end in order to overthrow Qian Ting and eliminate the family.

Regarding the "radical" casual cultivating organizations, whether they are Qanting Holy Land or sect families, they are mercilessly suppressed and suppressed.

Once discovered, they will be eliminated immediately without any leeway!

The more famous casual cult organizations among the radicals include the "Purple Scarf Army", "Black Dragon Society", etc., which directly engage in the fiercest confrontation with existing interest groups, and the conflicts between the two parties cannot be reconciled.

Among them, the "Purple Turban Army" has a great reputation throughout the Central Region.

According to legend, there were several great monks in the late Yuanying period who openly raised the banner of "overthrowing the Qianting and destroying the Holy Land".

Although it was a failure every time, it miraculously was not wiped out. There is a trend of "wild fire cannot burn out, but spring breeze blows and regenerates".

The "Purple Scarf Army" survived tenaciously without the Emperor Huashen Shenjun taking action, which can be regarded as a bright banner among the radical casual cultivators!

Corresponding to the radical faction, the other faction is the "moderate faction".

He believes that the significance of the existence of casual cultivators is to join the group for warmth and ensure the basic interests of most casual cultivators.

But it doesn’t have to be extreme methods such as fighting and bloodshed.

The moderate organization is more inclined to use negotiation and other methods to get along with the sect families, so as to ensure the basic interests of most casual cultivators.

The casual cultivating organizations that currently exist openly and have not been encircled and suppressed by Qianting Holy Land and sect families are basically "moderate".

This is what Guo Poyun calls the "Buyi Alliance". It has a good relationship with the Jiangzhou sect family and has not adopted any more extreme methods, so it can survive for a long time.

"Moderates."

Thinking of this, Liu Yu frowned slightly, not satisfied with this.

In his heart, he still prefers the "radicals" and does not believe that organizations united by "united groups to keep warm" can truly gain benefits through roundabout negotiations and other methods.

And compared to the former, the latter is more like a mob with little centripetal force.

When faced with a real crisis, there is a high probability of collapse at the first touch.

"But simply defining it as "radical" and "moderate" doesn't seem appropriate?"

"Perhaps this commoner alliance is just wearing a gentle cloak and is secretly gathering strength to act secretly?"

As soon as his thoughts changed, Liu Yu thought of this again.

Mainly judging from his contact with Guo Poyun, he is not at all like the kind of monk who would compromise when facing a sect family.

"Um."

After hearing the cause and effect, Zhuo Mengzhen nodded lightly.

She didn't express her opinion, she just put away the tea sets in silence, trusting that the other party had their own correct judgment.

"Wherever you go, I will go."

After putting away the tea set, Zhuo Mengzhen only said this sentence with a very firm tone, and then gradually walked away with the tea set.

Looking at the direction in which this woman was leaving, Liu Yu shook his head slightly and looked away.

"Let's get in touch with the Commoners League first."

Thinking like this, he got up and walked to the practice room, intending to warm up the magic weapon.

No matter what, daily practice cannot be left behind. With the help of "Jinghua Dan", the current cultivation level is maintaining steady growth.

…

Half a month later, in the cave hall, Liu Yu held a thick book in his hand, turning pages from time to time.

"Wow"

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, only the sound of turning pages of books could be heard from time to time.

Suddenly, Liu Yu's expression changed, and he looked outside the cave from a distance, and his spiritual consciousness spread out instantly.

I saw a middle-aged male cultivator with a black stubble on his chin standing outside the cave. Who could he be if he wasn't Guo Poyun?

"In just half a month, you will complete the two conditions you set and come visit again?"

"It seems that the Buyi League is very sincere and has a lot of energy."

Secretly withdrawing his consciousness, thoughts flashed in Liu Yu's mind.

The other party came to visit again, and there was no doubt that he was well prepared.

Spiritual objects that are beneficial to the soul are not so easy to collect, and he understands this well.

But the Buyi League was able to complete it so quickly, and there is no doubt about its strength and attitude.

"According to common sense, even the Yuanying Sect cannot collect more than a dozen kinds of spiritual herbs that are beneficial to the Yuanshen in a short period of time."

"It seems that the Buyi League is indeed what we thought before. It is by no means as simple as it seems."

With this in mind, Liu Yu put the book into the storage ring, got up and walked outside the mansion.

Of course, there are more than a dozen kinds of spiritual objects that are beneficial to the soul, so they cannot be given to him in vain.

Liu Yu needs to pay enough spiritual stones in exchange for those spiritual herbs. This time, he counts the help of the Commoner Alliance as a sincerity in inviting him to join.

"In just half a month, fellow Taoist Guo came to visit again, could it be...?"

Opening the formation, Liu Yu gently cupped his hands and said in an uncertain tone.

"That's right."

Guo Poyun said seriously with a positive tone.

"Hahaha"

After the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"please!"

Liu Yu stretched out her hand to signal and led Guo Poyun inside.

It was the same pavilion as last time. The two of them sat opposite each other, each with a cup of steaming spiritual tea in front of them.

After chatting for a while, Guo Poyun didn't talk nonsense. The storage ring flashed with his hand and sixteen brocade boxes appeared on the table.

"Fellow Taoist from Ancient City, you can open it and take a look. They are all the spiritual herbs designated by fellow Taoist last time."

When he talked about business, his expression became serious and he extended his hand to indicate.

"Um."

Liu Yu nodded lightly, and then opened the jade boxes one by one to check them out.

"Black Leaf Lotus", "Purple Smoke Warming Divine Grass" and "Red Golden Branch"

The jade boxes were opened one by one, revealing the spiritual grasses full of spiritual energy, all of which were up to the third level.

Although they have different shapes and specific effects, they are all spiritual herbs that can enhance the soul.

"Guo had great difficulty and tried his best to convince the monks in the alliance."

"In order to collect these spiritual herbs, the alliance used many channels to collect them all in a short period of time."

"After hearing about the deeds of fellow Taoists in the ancient city, the Supreme Elder "Qingshui Zhenjun" who is in charge of the nearby area was very impressed."

"With his old man's nod, we could do it in just half a month."

While Liu Yu was looking at it, Guo Poyun opened his mouth to explain, with a hint of complacency in his words.

Of course, he did not forget to mention secretly that he had played a big role in it.

"Fellow Daoist Guo naturally knows his sincerity and will definitely not forget it."

After hearing Xian Zhiya's intention, Liu Yu immediately expressed that he would not forget the other person's favor.

After checking that there was nothing wrong with the spiritual grass, his storage ring flashed, and twenty high-grade spiritual stones appeared on the table, and he gently pushed it towards the other party.

A piece of high-grade spiritual stone can easily be exchanged for 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and the value is much higher.

The spiritual herbs that are beneficial to the soul are indeed rare, but there are none that are too rare among them. For example, spiritual objects like the "Golden Scale Fruit" will have little effect if taken directly without being refined into elixirs.

However, due to their rarity, it is extremely difficult to collect.

Therefore, the value of two hundred thousand spiritual stones is roughly the same as the value of sixteen spiritual herbs and elixirs. In fact, it is slightly more.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Liu Yu gives less, but the matter hasn't been finalized yet and he doesn't want to owe too many favors.

With a sweep of his consciousness, he instantly counted the number of spirit stones. Guo Poyun secretly lamented that the other party was generous.

But he was not satisfied with the movement of his hand at all, and put the spirit stone into the storage ring with a wave of his hand.

"As for the spiritual consciousness technique, this alliance is not impossible to agree to it."

After saying this, Guo Poyun showed some embarrassment on his face, and he paused before continuing:

"It's just that the Divine Consciousness Technique is too rare. Even if "Elder Qingshui" nods, he has no right to give it directly."

"But after Guo's mediation, the alliance promised that after Gucheng Dao joins, it can be given directly as long as it performs one mission!"

"I hope fellow Taoist understands."

The spiritual consciousness technique that can directly cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm is very rare even in the Central Region, and it is definitely not comparable to ordinary things.

In the Yuanying Sect, only true disciples and direct descendants are qualified to practice, and even then they have to go through many tests.

Regarding this, Liu Yu nodded slightly to express his understanding.

The reason why I brought it up before was just for an attitude.

After all, I haven't joined yet, so it's really unrealistic to ask for a book of spiritual consciousness techniques that directly lead to the Nascent Soul.

But it's always right to ask for a higher price, so that there is room for bargaining.

"Gu can understand your alliance's concerns."

“It’s not impossible to join first and then give.”

"It's just that Gu has one last question. Regarding whether your alliance is a complete "moderate", I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Guo to answer truthfully, otherwise."

After a few breaths of silence, Liu Yu slowly opened his mouth and asked his last question.

Before actually joining, he must know what the "Common People's Alliance" stands for.

If you are a thorough "moderate" and still have the idea of ​​​​living in harmony with the sect family, then naturally there is no need to talk about it.

Hearing this, Guo Poyun smiled heartily, drank the spiritual grass in one gulp, and said:

"Fellow Taoist, you are worrying too much, this alliance."

As the man spoke slowly, Liu Yu gradually understood the position of the "Common People's League".

According to what he said, although the Buyi League is known as a moderate faction, on the surface it lives in harmony with the sect families in Jiangzhou and maintains a low profile.

But in fact, the core members are outright radicals.

The reason for this is that the current situation does not allow it. The power of the Qianting Holy Land and the sect family is too strong, and it would be difficult to develop otherwise.

Like most radicals, if they directly use the slogan "Overthrow the Qianting and destroy the Holy Land", they will be ruthlessly suppressed with a flip of the palm, and they will not be able to make a big splash.

Currently, the gap in strength between casual cultivators and sect families is too huge.

"How about it, fellow Taoist from the ancient city?"

"This alliance sincerely invites fellow Taoists to join, and we also show enough sincerity."

"It is impossible for ordinary Jindan monks to receive this kind of treatment. Taoist friends from the ancient city are a rare exception."

At the end of the conversation, Guo Poyun no longer tried to impress with his passionate ideals, but objectively stated the sincerity of the Buyi League and extended the invitation again.

Even though Liu Yu agreed every time, after getting along with each other for these years, he knew that the other party was a very "rational" monk.

"Your alliance has gone so far. If Gu still doesn't agree, wouldn't it be disrespectful to praise him?"

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear!"

As he said that, Liu Yu cupped his hands heavily.

"good!!!"

"From now on, we are truly "comrades"."

"Fellow Taoist from the ancient city, drink up this cup!"

Seeing Liu Yu agreeing, Guo Poyun's eyes flashed with joy, he personally picked up the teapot and filled two cups of spiritual tea, raised his glass and smiled.
