Chapter 789 The world is ruthless!
Five years flew by in the rumbling flames of war.
After the trip to Haoyue Fairy City, four pill recipes were obtained, and Liu Yu once again experienced a brief period of stability.
Yuanyang Sect, Tongtian Peak Cave Mansion.
Practice room.
Liu Yu sat cross-legged, her chest rising and falling slowly, and the azure light on her face fluctuated.
A body's spiritual pressure is like substance, which becomes deeper and deeper as time goes by.
"Huh~"
I don't know how much time passed before he finished practicing and opened his eyes, exhaling a heavy breath.
Sensing his current level of cultivation, Liu Yu nodded lightly, generally quite satisfied.
After taking three "Flying Immortal Pills" and then continuing to take the magical herbs, his cultivation level steadily improved in the past five years.
Although there is still a long way to go before the initial peak, it is still a small step forward.
If the realm of Nascent Soul is also divided into nine levels, then he has firmly entered the second level of Nascent Soul and is steadily improving towards the third level of Nascent Soul.
"At this rate, it will take about two hundred and twenty years to reach the early peak of cultivation."
"Twenty years and thirty years of cultivation may be enough for other True Lords."
"But for me, it's still too slow, too slow."
"The secret of possessing a spiritual treasure is a huge potential threat that will suddenly erupt at any time."
"You must have enough strength to protect yourself before the secret is exposed."
"And if you want to hold the spiritual treasure upright, your cultivation level must at least reach the stage of becoming a god!"
After finishing the practice, Liu Yu thought silently.
"It is now confirmed that there are no problems with the four elixir recipes. Once all the spiritual herbs are collected, we can start refining them immediately."
"As for the lack of attainments in alchemy, this problem is easy to solve."
"After all, with the Immortal Mansion as my support, I can definitely ripen the spiritual grass and refine it in large quantities. Even if my attainments are insufficient, I will always succeed."
"Every time you refine it, you will always succeed a few times by chance, and your alchemy skills will gradually improve in the process."
"Anyway, after taking charge of the sect, there will no longer be a problem with spiritual stones."
After thinking about it, he frowned slightly.
At present, the elixir recipe has been obtained, and with the Immortal Mansion as a support, it is not a problem if the alchemy is insufficient.
The only problem is that the spiritual herbs have not been collected yet.
The fourth-level elixir requires at least a thousand kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs.
Some of them are very rare and it is not easy to collect them all.
Even if Liu Yu used the power of the entire sect, five years later, he could only collect two-fifths.
It sounds like it will be possible to collect them all in another five, six, seven or eight years.
But in fact, it is not the case and cannot be calculated like this.
Everything that is easy to find has been found, and the remaining spiritual herbs that have not yet been found require more energy and often longer time to find.
This process may take 20 to 30 years, or it may take 30 to 50 years. There is a certain amount of luck involved.
"Compared to the other three elixirs, the elixir of herbs used to refine the Flying Immortal Pill is not that rare. Sixty-seven out of ten of them have been collected."
"But it is almost impossible to collect them all within ten years, and it will take at least ten years."
Frowning in thought, Liu Yu shook his head slightly.
It was hard to get the recipe, but it couldn't be used immediately. It had to wait for decades or even longer.
He couldn't accept this result.
If you have been cultivating steadily for more than two hundred years and reached the early peak, and one day the secret of the ruined sword is exposed, and the divine king or demon emperor comes to visit, wouldn't you just have to wait for death? !
"You can't put all your hopes on the sect."
"Now that five years have passed, and the date agreed with Mo Mei has come, maybe we can try to get the spiritual grass from her?"
"After all, this woman is a veteran alchemy master. She has been famous for hundreds of years. She does not refine the "Flying Immortal Pill" once or twice. She must have the corresponding spiritual herbs and elixirs in her hands."
"It's just that the crisis has been resolved now. If you stay in Danding Sect, you won't go out at will. How to convince Mo Mei is a problem."
Sitting cross-legged, Liu Yu thought hard about how to quickly collect all the spiritual herbs.
After thinking about it, I still thought of Mo Mei.
At present, only from this woman can we see the hope of quickly collecting all the spiritual herbs and elixirs.
"Try it."
Liu Yu flashed this idea.
After all, he didn't actually take action. In this incident in Haoyue Immortal City, he could be regarded as this woman's savior.
If you are willing to pay a certain price, there is always some hope and you can try it first.
After making the decision, he no longer thought about it. Feeling the physical strength at this moment, he shook his head helplessly.
After the ancient war, the environment of the world of immortality changed drastically, and many rare spiritual creatures and herbs disappeared one after another.
Without the corresponding key spiritual objects, the paths to cultivating immortals were cut off one after another, and various schools of cultivation gradually declined.
For example, physical training.
More than ten years have passed, and although Liu Yu has never given up and mobilized the sect's power to search for it, Liu Yu still has no news about the fourth-level body-refining spiritual object.
In terms of body refining, the growth of cultivation has stopped long ago and can only be passively improved under the influence of Nascent Soul's radiation.
"The current level of physical cultivation is between the third level and the fourth level."
"At this rate, we should be able to officially reach the fourth level in about fifty or sixty years."
"pity."
Thinking of this, Liu Yu's eyes flashed with a little regret.
The resources for cultivating immortals in the Central Region are far richer than those in Tiannan. Compared with the resources needed for legal cultivation, although the resources for body refining are scarcer, they are by no means non-existent.
With his current strength, if he were still in the Central Region, he would most likely be able to obtain the fourth-level body refining resources.
In this way, body training will not be stagnant for decades.
Unfortunately, due to a series of accidents, the Sword of Destruction had to be used.
It is impossible for Liu Yu to go to the Central Territory again before he has enough power to protect himself.
"Not only in terms of body refining, but also in terms of god refining."
"The body refining resources are basically extinct in Tiannan, and the Yuanshen artifacts are extremely rare. However, rapid growth in strength cannot be achieved without the improvement of these two aspects."
"In addition, killing Ao Lin may arouse the hostility of the Jiaolong clan. There are really many problems that need to be solved in the near future."
Liu Yu stood up with emotion and walked out of the practice room.
If a Nascent Soul cultivator wants to break through to become a god, it is not just about improving his realm. The fact that his soul is strong enough to a certain extent is also the key to the success of his promotion.
The only items that can have an effect on Yuanying monks are fourth-order and fifth-order Yuanying spirit objects. You can imagine how rare they are.
"General Yuan Shen items can only be used once. If you want to improve your Yuan Shen after using it, you can only find the next one again."
"This will consume a lot of resources, energy and time to search."
"It seems that we still have to take advantage of the Immortal Mansion and collect a kind of Yuanshen artifact that can be used continuously."
"Similar to the Qinghe Spirit Tree, it can continuously produce Qinghe Spirit Tea."
All kinds of thoughts flashed, the door slowly opened with a bang, and Liu Yu's figure disappeared here.
…
"Meet the young master."
Upon hearing the commotion, the maid Chang Wen Caiyi, who was in place at any time, immediately hurried up to greet him.
"Um."
Liu Yu responded lightly, indicating that the woman didn't need to be polite, and then walked straight to the bathroom.
The five-year period has come, and the spiritual grass problem needs to be solved urgently. He plans to leave for the Alchemy Sect immediately.
Entering the bathroom, you will see a hazy scene in front of you.
In the center of the room, there is a spacious pool filled with warm spiritual water.
Liu Yu opened her arms, and soon a pair of weak, boneless hands wrapped around her, groping up and down to undress and untie her belt.
Immediately, he stepped into the pool and washed himself under the service of the maid.
Fortunately, his Qi refining cultivation is far ahead, and he can already suppress the sequelae of the exercises, so he doesn't have to worry about sudden attacks.
Otherwise, there is no way to tell, and there will be a "mandarin duck play in the water".
After half an hour of bathing, Liu Yu had already put on her underwear and stood in front of a full-length floor-length mirror.
Opening his arms, he let Wen Caiyi put the black robe on himself, and then continued to take care of it up and down.
With nothing to do, Liu Yu looked through the mirror and saw the maid who was busy behind her.
Another twenty years have passed, and if he remembers correctly, this woman is now about two hundred and twenty years old.
Based on the lifespan of a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, even if he takes some life-extending substances, he will only have less than eighty years left at most.
At two hundred and twenty years old, the physical body's energy and blood have already begun to decline.
Even though he used many methods to preserve his appearance, the signs of physical decay gradually began to appear.
The female cultivator who was in her youth back then, her beautiful face gradually aged, and her years were gone.
At this time, she looked like a young woman in her thirties or forties.
The fair and delicate skin is gradually showing signs of sagging, and several crow's feet have appeared in the corners of the eyes.
Although many habits remain the same, the temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes.
From being young and lively and full of fighting spirit back then, I have become sentimental and worried now, and I obviously feel that my energy and energy have dropped a lot.
"Time passes quickly."
Liu Yu sighed secretly.
After thinking for a moment, he made a decision in his heart and said calmly:
"Cai Yi, you have worked hard for me by serving me for nearly two hundred years."
"Tomorrow, let's officially retire."
His tone was incomprehensible, as if he was slightly nostalgic, as if he was remembering certain scenes from the past, and he seemed to be lamenting that time is fleeting.
Hearing this, Wen Caiyi, who was adjusting his clothes as if nothing had happened, was startled, and his hand movements suddenly stopped.
Like a fleeting glimpse, following Liu Yu's scenes, the memorable scenes played in her mind like a black and white movie.
Wen Caiyi has been practicing for two hundred and twenty years, but most of his life has been related to Liu Yu.
It could be said that the male cultivator in front of her occupied all of her life.
The best years of this woman's life were spent on Liu Yu. The "master" left indelible traces in her life!
I thought that once I retreated, I would have to leave my master and the extremely familiar environment.
Although he had been prepared for this, when he actually heard these words, Wen Caiyi still felt an unspeakable panic in his heart.
She didn't want to leave her familiar environment, let alone her master!
It has been like this for more than two hundred years.
If she were to go back to that helpless state, it would be hard for this woman to imagine that kind of life, and she would not have the courage to face it alone!
"no no."
Wen Caiyi murmured.
Immediately, her eyes turned red for a moment, tears flashed in her still charming eyes, and she said eagerly:
"Sir, is there something wrong with my maid?!"
"Please point it out, Master! I will change it immediately!"
"Although my maid is old and frail, she can still serve the young master with tea and water and do some cleaning."
Endless panic spread in her heart, and Wen Caiyi spoke indiscriminately.
She hurriedly bowed down and spoke very fast and urgently, with a little choking, still wanting to save everything.
Seeing the maid in front of her with tears streaming down her face, speaking indiscriminately and even ignoring her appearance, Liu Yu rarely got angry, but instead felt a little pity.
As a personal maid, to a certain extent, this woman is the one who has been with him the longest, and can be regarded as getting along day and night.
Looking at Wen Caiyi who had completely let down his guard, he could understand the other person's mood at this time.
"Caiyi, you have always done a good job, and I am very satisfied with you in every aspect."
"But your realm, after all, is only foundation building, and you don't have much longevity to this day."
After a moment of silence, Liu Yu explained word by word.
As he spoke, he turned around and helped the female cultivator in front of him up with his own hands.
He stretched out his right hand and gently lifted the woman's chin. Looking at the extremely familiar face, he paused and continued:
"But after serving me for so many years, you should have a life of your own."
"In the remaining few decades, you will be truly free and live your own life."
After speaking, Liu Yu shook his head slightly and turned his back.
"Master~!"
Wen Caiyi's red lips parted slightly, and she wanted to try to save her again.
Liu Yu raised her right hand to stop him from continuing. It was obvious that he had made up his mind.
Staring at the person in the mirror, his tone returned to calmness and he said calmly:
"Having followed me for so many years, have you ever regretted it?"
The decline and end of things are destined and irreversible.
"My maid has no regrets!"
"If it weren't for the grace of the young master, and with the qualifications and family background of the servant girl, I am afraid that I would not even be able to reach the foundation building stage. By now, I would have turned into a pile of withered bones."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Caiyi replied firmly, with no regrets on his face at this time.
Her chest rose and fell greatly, indicating that she was extremely uneasy at this time.
"Um."
After fastening his black robe, Liu Yu responded lightly.
When he turned around again, his personal maid Wen Caiyi had two lines of hot tears streaming down her face.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed the woman's cheek carefully, and felt a warm touch. It was the other person's body temperature and the temperature of tears.
"Liu never treats his own people badly. When you retire, you can receive a large amount of merit and contribution."
"With this meritorious contribution, in exchange for a few life-extending things, it will not be a problem to live to the limit of the foundation period."
"In the next seven to eight years, you can still act in my name, and no monk will dare to bully you."
"Let's spend the rest of the time well and have a life of your own!"
Wiping away her hot tears, with little waves in her heart, Liu Yu looked away and spoke slowly.
After saying this, he moved his body and walked out of the cave without looking back.
"Son."
Behind him, Wen Caiyi murmured softly.
The tears in her eyes once again followed the previous traces, all the way down her white cheeks.
Finally, it dripped onto the cold ground, making a clear sound of water droplets.
"Tick tock~!"
The sound of water is like tapping on the heartstrings, making people remember it involuntarily.
Not long after, Wen Caiyi broke down in tears, speechless and choked.
Having served Liu Yu for two hundred years, she knew only too well that once the young master made a decision, it would be difficult for anyone to change it.
Wen Caiyi stayed where he was, watching the figure walking away step by step.
At this time, her eyes were confused, as if she had lost something very important and she didn't know where to go from now on.
"Huhu~"
On the other side, Liu Yu walked out of the cave, his clothes and robes rustling against the mountain wind.
"Heaven and earth are ruthless!"
"If we see love, the sky will be barren and the earth will be old."
After a few breaths, he looked down at the mountains of the sect and murmured to himself.
This cruel road to immortality has no room for any tenderness!
Shaking his head gently, Liu Yu's eyes returned to indifference and calmness, and the ripples in his heart also faded and disappeared.
Immediately, it turned into a blue escaping light and silently went to the Alchemy Cauldron Sect.
"Whoosh~"
Thank you for the rewards and support from fellow Taoists such as Qingzhuizhu with 2000 points and Xiaofeng Hanyue with 2000 points!
PS: I can’t stand it anymore, so I’ll just have 4,000 words today.
I heard that an author died suddenly after staying up late. Changting was indeed a little scared.
