Facing the witch's question, Li Yu answered honestly: "No."
Nangongchan's eyes widened: "Where have you gone?"
It was impossible for Li Yu to refine the nine-turn demon elixir by himself, unless his fire-attribute golden elixir also reached the ninth-turn, or he had the fire-attribute heavenly spirit vein. He did not possess either of these two conditions.
Li Yu explained: "I gave it away."
Nangongchan asked: "To whom?"
"...Senior Sister Qin..."
The consequences of deceiving the witch last time were still vivid in his mind, so Li Yu never thought of deceiving her from the beginning this time.
There was no need to lie to her. Senior Sister Qin was his real senior sister who was also his teacher and friend. It was right to be nice to her, and he was not afraid of the demon girl knowing about it.
Slowly change her extreme possessiveness.
Nangongchan narrowed her eyes slightly.
No wonder she failed to suppress Qin Keren just now.
It turns out that this guy had prepared an enemy beforehand!
Although she knew that Qin Keren and Li Yu were brothers and sisters, and their relationship was not comparable to that of others, in his heart, shouldn't her position be a little higher than Qin Keren's?
Qin Keren was so confident about the demon elixir he obtained from the devil's way.
What about the most unique Chan Chan?
Even if he wanted to give Qin Ke the demon pill, wouldn't he be able to do it later so that he could defeat her first?
But the matter was now over, and it was too late to say anything. She stayed by herself for a while and was no longer so angry. At least he didn't try to lie to her this time.
She walked up to Li Yu and said, "I ask you a question, and you answer it truthfully."
"Say it."
Nangong Chan looked into his eyes and asked: "If Qin Keren and I are in danger at the same time in a certain cave world, and you can only save one, who will you save?"
A woman always hopes to choose herself among the two choices to confirm her status.
Li Yu asked back: "Why don't you ask who I will save when you and Zixuan are in danger?"
Nangong Chan glanced at him, she still knew herself.
Zhou Zixuan is his Taoist companion, and it is natural for Li Yu to save her.
I don't want to sleep with him.
She coughed lightly and said, "Don't change the subject. I'm asking about Qin Keren, not anyone else. Just tell me the truth."
Li Yu asked: "It's that time, can't you join forces?"
Nangongchan said angrily: "We don't want to join forces, can't we? Please answer me quickly!"
Li Yu shrugged and said helplessly: "I choose not to go. If there is a danger that you can't solve together, I can't do anything if I go. I will only give away one more. So why bother..."
Although the truth is this, it is not the answer she wants.
Nangong Chan originally wanted to pester Li Yu to continue questioning, but Zhou Zixuan and Jiang Li came over, so she could only give Li Yu a resentful look and gave up for the time being.
Life in Kunlun was extremely leisurely, and Li Yu just cooked and cooked every day to show off her progress in cooking.
In fact, he wanted to show off his dressing skills, but neither Zhou Zixuan nor Jiang Li gave him a chance to show off.
They still subconsciously feel that this is not what men should do.
In comparison, women who are still in the devil's path are more open-minded.
When Li Yu returned to Kunlun this time, in addition to reuniting with them every month, she also had an important thing to do.
As his cultivation level increased, the faith of lower-level disciples played an increasingly smaller role in his cultivation. He had already thought about it when he was in Xuanyin Sect. The elders of the sect who were in the foundation building stage and were about to expire were
His best recruiting target.
A large part of these people have actually reached the peak of foundation building long ago, and their magic power has been compressed to the extreme. However, due to their talents, they are unable to break through on their own. The number of realm-breaking pills they need is also higher than those who have used pills all the way.
There are far fewer geniuses piled up.
One or two golden elixirs can help them advance to the golden elixir and extend their lives for another two hundred years.
If Li Yu wants to recruit them, there should be no objections from the sect.
These elders have devoted their whole lives to the sect. In their later years, they have no hope of forming elixirs. They can even leave the sect at any time, and the sect will not interfere with their whereabouts.
The only thing you need to worry about is their loyalty.
But people’s hearts are unpredictable, and this kind of thing cannot be avoided.
Li Yu first asked Wu Tong to count the number of elders in the foundation building stage of the sect who were about to expire. This kind of thing was what Wu Tong was good at. One day later, he gave Li Yu's accurate number.
Wu Tong held a piece of paper in his hand and said: "There are a total of 2,132 people in Kunlun during the foundation building period. Among them, there are 78 people who will expire within five years and have completed the foundation building.
One hundred and sixty-nine people will reach the end of their life within ten years..."
He looked at Li Yu and asked uncertainly: "Are you really going to give them the Realm Breaking Pill for free?"
Li Yu nodded and said: "These elders have dedicated their lives to the sect. I happen to have some realm-breaking pills in my hand. I might as well give them a chance to form the pills, but they need to serve at Yuxuan Peak for fifty years."
Wu Tong sighed: "You are so generous. If you can let them form a pill, let alone serve for fifty years, I am afraid they will agree to any request."
Ziyun Peak.
Two figures descended from the sky. Looking at the familiar plants and trees here, Li Yu couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
If his old friends could wait until today, they wouldn't have returned home with regrets.
"Young Master is here..."
"Long time no see, Master Shao."
"Is it true what happened between you and the Xuanyin Sect Saint?"
"I bet you that you will have a girl. I spent a hundred Dan coins. I don't know if I can see it before I return to the ruins..."
On Ziyun Peak, some old people were playing cards, and some were lying at the door chatting. When they saw Li Yu, although they did not stop what they were doing, they all greeted him with a smile.
Their lifespan is short, and the only thing they can do is wait for death.
Let alone Headmaster Shao, even if Headmaster Kunlun or Patriarch Poxu came in person, they wouldn't care too much.
The reason why he was different from others in his enthusiasm for the Young Master was because among the senior officials of the sect, he was the only one who still thought about them, the dying old guys, so that they could have this little fun before returning to the ruins.
Li Yu looked at these sullen old men. Unlike the disciples in the Qi refining period, although these elders were enthusiastic, they did not have any faith.
Although these elders outside have twilight energy in their bodies, there is still vitality in the twilight energy. Their lifespans are at least ten years.
Although Li Yu has saved a lot of golden elixirs in the past few months, they are not inexhaustible. They still have to be used on those who need them most.
He briefly greeted everyone and came to a courtyard with Wu Tong.
Wu Tong had made sufficient preparations in advance. He pointed to this courtyard and said to Li Yu: "There lives here a second-grade alchemist with a lifespan of two hundred and forty-six years..."
He walked to the door of the other courtyard, placed his right hand on a stone platform, and input magic power.
After a long time, the door of the other courtyard was opened from the inside, and a rickety figure walked out of the courtyard. His figure was as skinny as wood, with few sparse hair, and sunken eyes, like a walking skeleton.
This was what Li Yu looked like when he saw Elder Sun for the last time.
The old skeleton man raised his head and glanced at the two of them. Although he could not see through their cultivation and guessed that they were the young geniuses of the sect, he was about to die and nothing in this world had anything to do with him.
His sunken eyes moved, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "What's the matter?"
Wu Tong looked at Li Yu and said, "This is the young master."
The old man's eyes did not waver, and he said calmly: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I'm waiting to go back to bed."
He is about to die, so what if he is a young headmaster? Even the headmaster's call is not as important as his sleep.
Li Yu was not unhappy about this either. These elders, after losing hope in forming elixirs, had long been indifferent to life and death, and they had this attitude towards everyone.
Wu Tong looked at the old skeleton man and said: "Elder Feng has dedicated his life to the sect. In recognition of your contribution to the sect, the young master will give you a Golden Spirit Pill."
The old skeleton man was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was hallucinating.
Golden elixir?
The sect can only produce five fingers worth of the realm-breaking elixirs that have been built to the golden elixir stage every month, and they will all be used on those talented disciples. They have mediocre talents and must have great achievements. The last one got the golden elixir.
Yes, a few years ago, someone presented a Heavenly Spirit Vein to the sect.
He has such great achievements, why should he?
At this moment, the old skeleton man thought that his end had come, and because he was extremely eager to form elixirs, he had the hallucination before returning to the ruins.
His person may still be lying on the chair in the house.
It wasn't until the young man's hand flashed with light and a pill appeared in his hand that the old man reacted.
After being stunned for a moment again, he realized something.
He has been practicing for more than two hundred years and has accumulated virtues and good deeds throughout his life. God finally opened his eyes...
In just an instant, the indifference that looked down on life and death disappeared from his face. His cloudy eyes were filled with the desire for life. He tried his best to straighten his body, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Second-grade alchemist Feng Zhang,
See Young Master!"
Li Yu's expression moved slightly.
Although this elder's cultivation is only at the peak of the later stage of foundation building, the power of faith in him at this moment is more than that of Xu Yi and Tian Qi after they formed pills.
This is not surprising either.
Xu Yi and Tian Qi are both young. Even without Li Yu, they can still form elixirs. Li Yu is the most kind to them.
But for these old men who only had less than two years left to live, this was a life-saving grace and their only life-saving straw. He even just took out the elixir, but the power of faith generated by the other party was so much.
Sure enough, it wasn't that these old people didn't have faith, but that he didn't come up with anything worthy of their faith.
Li Yu couldn't help but glance at Wu Tong.
This guy didn't have any faith at all at that time. Is it because they were too familiar with each other?
Wu Tong thought that Li Yu's glance had a deeper meaning, and said to the old man: "Don't worry, this realm-breaking pill is a pity from the young master, not from the sect. After you form the pill, you need to get it in Yuxuan
Are you willing to serve Feng for a hundred years without betrayal?"
The old skeleton man said without any hesitation: "Disciple is willing!"
If he can form elixirs, let alone serve for a hundred years, even if he spends the remaining two hundred and fifty years working for the young master, he will not have any complaints. He is even willing to donate the golden elixirs before his death.
, donating the body for corpse refining...
As long as he can form a pill.
In the past few years, the only thing he could do was to wait quietly for death. Others would not understand this feeling. Now that he finally had a glimmer of hope, he would not hesitate even if he sold his body and soul.
Feeling the growing power of faith, Li Yu found that he still underestimated these people's desire for pill formation.
After a moment, Li Yu personally helped up the old man who was kneeling on his knees and banging his head. The furnace of heaven and earth in his body was already running wildly, absorbing all the power of faith around him.
For this second-grade alchemist, he only used one golden elixir.
Like Elder Sun, he had actually made sufficient preparations to form the elixir, but the only thing missing was this last step.
It's just that his luck is better than Elder Sun, and he was lucky enough to break through the realm with just one realm-breaking pill.
The faith gained through this method was much more than Li Yu expected. The Qiankun Furnace was even more exciting than when refining elixirs. Li Yu considered refining all the materials into elixirs so that he could cultivate more
The golden elixir is coming.
Those materials are disposable and are gone once absorbed.
But every time a golden elixir is cultivated, he can continue to absorb faith for more than two hundred years.
One is to drain the lake and the other is to develop sustainably. There is no need to say which one to choose.
…
Everywhere in Ziyun Peak.
The foundation-building elders who are about to expire are playing cards and fishing, enjoying the last joy in their lives.
Compared with the foundation-building elders in the past, they were lucky. At least the sect could still think of them and let them spend the last few years safely. Knowing that there was no hope of breakthrough, most of them accepted their fate.
At a certain moment, the expressions of these leisurely foundation-building elders suddenly moved and they looked somewhere.
Just now, a strange mana fluctuation came from that position.
Kunlun is the second largest sect of the Righteous Path and has strong men in the Golden Core Stage. Although there are not as many as the Tiandao Sect, there are also elders who form new pills every year, and most of them are no strangers to that kind of mana fluctuations.
After all, that is their lifelong pursuit.
After that mana wave spread to the entire Ziyun Peak, the entire Ziyun Peak immediately boiled.
"This is……"
"The fluctuation of the core formation!"
"Who is it? Who formed the elixir!"
"It seems to be Old Ghost Feng. He actually formed an elixir!"
…
After a brief shock, only deep envy and jealousy remained on everyone's faces.
Someone formed elixirs before the death of Shou Yuan. As fellow disciples, they were not happy for him.
Everyone is the same, they are all about to expire, and they are waiting at Ziyun Peak to return to the ruins. Why can he form an elixir and gain more than two hundred years of life out of thin air?
At this moment, almost everyone had no intention of having fun.
The entire Ziyun Peak suddenly became quiet.
No one urged the game, the fish bit the hook, and the figure sitting on the fishing platform was indifferent.
But their silence did not last long.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, another special wave of mana spread throughout Ziyun Peak.
Everyone looked up one after another with shock on their faces.
"What's going on today?"
"Someone is forming a pill again!"
"Who is it this time?"
…
In a short period of time, two people formed elixirs and broke through the limit of longevity. Envy and jealousy could no longer describe their feelings.
And just when everyone was stunned, a new wave of mana came.
"Three already!"
"Something's wrong!"
"Something must have happened!"
Once was an accident, and twice was coincidence. However, no one had formed a pill on Ziyun Peak for decades. Within one day, three people broke through one after another. There must be some reason for this. For a time, one after another figures appeared from all over Ziyun Peak.
Flying up, they converged towards the direction where the last wave of mana came from...
