Li Yu took the gourd and came out of the alchemy room happily. Old Lin was still a kind-hearted person and he would definitely make a fortune this time.
He moved his fingers, activated his spiritual power, and tested the elixir.
This is a life-prolonging elixir, probably made for disciples, because cultivation is a long process, during which you must first learn to resist aging.
There are three main Taoist methods to fight aging and extend lifespan: elixirs, Fangzhong, and vomiting.
Among them, elixirs are the simplest. You need to have excellent skills and talents for breathing, and you need to have a good double cultivation cauldron in your room. Only elixirs are the most direct.
No wonder the dignitaries in Bianliang, including the royal family and concubines in the harem, are all eager to enter the Shenxiao Palace.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the same goes for elixirs. Although it is the simplest method, it relies on external things after all, and is not as good as the other two which are self-improvement.
I have the Qingmu Jue technique, as well as Qin Keqing and Jing Huan, so dual cultivation of Fangzhongshu is naturally the best choice.
The dual cultivation of men and women is the art of the Fang, which is one of the three major branches of Taoism. Those who are good at this art are pure and peaceful. The Yellow Emperor ascended with this, so practitioners use the metaphor of refining the inner elixir to treat women who practice the art of the Fang.
It's called a cauldron.
There are also high and low levels of cauldrons. If a woman is naturally charming, possesses spiritual roots, is harmonious with the Five Elements, and is more effective than ordinary women when practicing both, then she can be called a treasure if she gets one.
Yuanmiao Mountain was as quiet as ever. Li Yu walked to the door of a small courtyard. This was the courtyard of Zhao Fujin and Pan Jinlian.
It was empty inside, and the two girls ran away to nowhere. Li Yu shook his head, closed the courtyard door for them, and made a small wooden figure at the door.
The little wooden man is lifelike, looking like he is scolding people with a straight face. On the small sign in his hand are the four characters "Practice well" written on it.
As long as they return to the small courtyard and see the wooden figure, they will know that they have returned from Soochow.
Carrying the gourd and riding on his white horse, Li Yuyou went down the mountain leisurely.
Yuanmiao Mountain is high and steep, but at night the jade lion walks on the ground as if it were on flat ground, still jumping around at every turn.
After walking down the mountain gate and arriving at Cai Mansion, the disciples saw that he was dressed like a Taoist priest and did not dare to neglect him.
After all, the Taoist priest who dares to go to Cai Mansion must not be an ordinary person, unless he is a fool.
"What does this Taoist priest do for you?"
"I am Li Yu from the Zhengjing Sect, here to see Cai Jing."
Li Yu's reputation was very good, and as expected in Bianliang, the disciple immediately lowered his hands and bent down, with a flattering smile on his face, "Let's take a rest in the flower hall of the little Taoist priest. I will call my master now."
Cai Jing's mansion is very luxurious. In terms of exquisiteness and exquisiteness, his courtyard has surpassed the Taichu Palace in Soochow.
The carved beams and painted buildings are beautiful, and there is a screen wall in front of it, which is painted with pictures of five blessings coming to the door, pine cranes and longevity, which is very suitable for Cai Jing's age.
Walking around the screen wall, a person turned his back to the Moon Gate and faced the flowers in the flower hall, leaning down to smell the fragrance of the flowers.
Although it was just a back figure, Li Yu recognized it at a glance. This figure was Ximen Qing.
Li Yu didn't say anything. He moved his finger and shot a golden needle towards Ximen Qing's neck.
With a clang, the golden needle hit a fan bone. The crisp impact sound indicated that his fan was made of metal.
Ximen Qing was extremely angry. Before he could turn around, he already cursed: "Where did you come from, how dare you sneak attack me...hey, a serious Taoist priest!"
When Ximen Qing saw Li Yuyin's smiling face, his face turned from surprise to joy, and he cried: "Little Taoist Priest, it's great that you are safe and sound."
Li Yu smiled and said: "Thanks to you, I will live a good life."
"The Taoist priest is so proud of me. We were attacked together that day, thanks to the great power of the Taoist priest. Qing just tried his best to fight against the thieves together with the Taoist priest."
This guy's face is thicker than the city wall. He is pretending to be stupid now, and Li Yu certainly won't give up.
"Brother Ximen is so polite. You were very lively that day..."
The two of them were wary of each other and kept a certain distance. Li Yu refused to step into the room, and Ximen Qing did not dare to come out easily.
With a whoosh sound, an earthen wall suddenly stood up behind Li Yu. Bang~bang~bang~after three sounds, a few flower petals were stuck on the earthen wall.
These petals are deeply embedded in the earthen wall. If they hit someone on the neck, they will definitely die.
Li Yu sneered, the earthen wall disappeared instantly, and the petals scattered on the ground.
Ximen Qing held a whip in his hand. He held it so close that his fingers turned white.
Li Yu wasn't much better either. That day in the river valley, the two of them were secretly fighting each other, and Li Yu found out that his cultivation level was almost the same as his own, and they both had a wealth of underhanded methods.
When facing such an enemy, you must be careful, because you never know when you will fall into his trap.
Li Yu looked like this when facing Ximen Qing, and Ximen Qing opposite him also felt embarrassed.
Opposite him, the Taoist priest named Li Yu was more ruthless, darker, and more difficult to defend against than himself.
When they met just now, before he could look back, he used his killing move.
It was obvious that he just wanted to kill him directly.
The two of them were fighting, although they were talking and laughing on the surface, but their hands were constantly moving.
After a while, the flower hall was full of broken branches and leaves, the ground was stained with water, and there was a lot of mud. There were not only a few whip marks on the huge wooden pillars, but also dozens of gold needles.
"Hahaha, two distinguished guests came to the door at the same time, let me..."
Cai Jing's ears suddenly turned red while he was speaking, and the atmosphere in the flower hall was a bit strange.
His two guests stared at each other, as if the entire flower hall had just been ransacked.
"Xiang Cai, this man colluded with Fang La in the mission, attracted bandits, and killed Mr. Lin. I have mentioned these things in the memorial, right?"
Cai Jing said with a smile: "There must be a misunderstanding. I haven't had time to explain it to you yet. Do you know who he is? He is my brother-in-law. How can he be related to bandits?"
Li Yu's face became even more ugly, but Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Ah! It turns out that the little Taoist priest misunderstood Xiao Ke so much, then I have to explain it. I also wanted to save Mr. Lin over there, so I had to make a bad move.
, I hope I can let the little Taoist hold back the bandits."
Li Yu had nothing to say, because although Ximen Qing made it clear that he was harming himself, he was very cautious and did not leave any evidence.
Even if there are many witnesses, there is no way to convict him. Ximen Qing can just tell a few lies and continue to get away with it.
He just kept reminding Fang La's people to kill Li Yu first, and he also used words like 'protect the Taoist Priest, if the Taoist Priest dies we will be finished'.
From the beginning to the end, he never hit himself personally. Instead, he frequently hit Ximen Qing that night.
This thief is actually related to Cai Jing. It seems that there is no way to take revenge by following the normal procedure.
Li Yu looked at Ximen Qing with a smile. The two looked at each other and stopped arguing.
