Yuanyang Sect used magic to solidify the surrounding flowing mud into a wall, and forcibly opened up a medicinal garden on the spiritual veins. There was no trace of the medicinal garden on the surface. Liu Yu knew that this must be the formation.
reason.
For a spiritual medicine garden of this level, the formation must be extremely sophisticated, far beyond the Wutu Bluestone Formation.
"Uncle Liu, this is where it is."
A disciple in the Qi refining stage respectfully reported.
Liu Yu, wearing a dark green shirt, nodded expressionlessly when he heard this.
His dark pupils scanned the black swamp for a while, but he didn't see any clues.
Then a faint white light silently lit up in the depths of his eyes, which was the characteristic of using the "Sky Eye Technique", and he looked towards the swamp again.
This time, I finally found a clue. A place in the wide swamp was "opaque", and in the field of vision of the Sky Eye Technique, there were strands of spiritual energy flowing out in all directions.
"This is it!"
Liu Yu made a secret with both hands, and a dark blue light hit the ground.
The blue light spread from where everyone was standing towards the location of the elixir garden. A layer of ice crystals appeared on the surface of the soft mud along the way, which could bear the weight of the talent on it.
This is a first-level low-level spell "Ice Condensation". It is weak in power but quite practical in some places. Although Liu Yu does not have the corresponding spiritual roots, it is still very simple to learn low-level spells with a high level of cultivation.
Instructing the ten disciples in the Qi Refining Stage to go first, a green-red shield appeared around Liu Yu's body and cut off at the end.
After a while, they arrived at the suspected elixir garden. Liu Yu followed the method taught by Elder Yan and fired more than a dozen specific magic spells into the empty air, revealing a hole for people to pass through.
This is only a gap in the first layer of the phantom formation, not a gap in the medicinal garden's protective formation, and cannot be used to enter the medicinal garden.
In order to prevent being regarded as an intruder, he did not let everyone in immediately. Instead, he took out a transmission talisman from his storage bag, whispered a few words and flew into the elixir garden from the opened cave.
The road formed by the Ice Condensation Technique will not disappear for a while, so Liu Yu and the others waited patiently in place.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the illusionary formation on the surface fluctuated, and a middle-aged woman wearing a Taoist robe and dressed like a Taoist nun walked out of it, followed by two inner disciples who were in the late stages of Qi refining.
"Yan Hongyu?"
Liu Yu's pupils shrank, slightly surprised.
More than ten years have passed, Yan Hongyu's appearance has not changed much, she is still as mature and plump, but her cultivation level has improved a small level, reaching the late stage of foundation building, and her spiritual pressure around her body has become stronger.
"I've met Senior Sister Hongyu!"
A smile appeared on Liu Yu's face and she cupped her hands and took the lead in saying hello. Both of them were in the foundation-building realm, so naturally he didn't need to call himself a junior.
No matter what, this woman had helped him before, although it was because of favors and benefits.
What's more, when you go out and defend the elixir garden where you are likely to be attacked, Yan Hongyu's cultivation in the later stages of foundation building cannot be said to be dependent on her, so it is still necessary to have a proper friendship.
The Qi Refining Stage disciples behind him looked at Liu Yu with even more awe. Unexpectedly, Master Liu, who was newly promoted to Foundation Establishment, also knew Master Yan Hongyu. You must know that Master Yan Hongyu was a member of Elder Yan’s clan. He was not lacking in strength and connections. He was known throughout the Yuan Dynasty.
Yang Zongdu is relatively famous.
Her mature and plump appearance is also in line with the appetite of many disciples. If she can be promoted to the late stage of foundation building early, she may be able to compete for the title of "Twin Shu of Yuanyang".
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Liu. Congratulations to Junior Brother for being promoted to the foundation building stage."
Yan Hongyu's face showed surprise, and she recognized Liu Yu in an instant. Her expression softened and she greeted him calmly.
Although she had previously warned Liu Yu not to come into contact with Yan Quer, she did so for the sake of her niece's path. After all, it was unlikely that ordinary Three Spiritual Root monks would be promoted to Foundation Establishment.
A young monk in the Qi refining stage is naturally not worthy of his niece, but his impression of Liu Yu is not bad. After all, he rescued Qu'er and gave her two rare elixirs that were two hundred years old.
"Junior brother Liu was sent to defend this medicine garden? Please show me the token."
"During this critical period, in order to prevent enemy cultivators from sneaking in, senior sister has to be careful. Please forgive me for any offence!"
After a few pleasantries, Yan Hongyu continued, not letting down her guard just because they were acquaintances.
"It should, it should."
Liu Yu replied with a smile, then took out the black scroll from the storage bag and threw it towards Yan Hongyu with a movement of his arm.
The two of them have always maintained a distance of three to four feet, with a tacit understanding not to move forward. If the other party suddenly launches an attack at this distance, they can react in time.
Yan Hongyu used magic power to suck the black scroll into her hand, and then spread it out to check.
Liu Yu and the others stood still and did not move forward, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Welcome Junior Brother Liu to No. 6 Spiritual Medicine Garden. With Junior Brother joining us, our defensive strength will become stronger by two points."
Yan Hongyu finished checking the black scroll in two breaths. The handwriting and aura of her ancestor were most familiar, and her identity was confirmed in an instant.
Then she threw the black scroll back, and as she spoke, she treated Liu Yu as a peer, no longer the condescending attitude she had when facing the young monks in the Qi Refining Stage.
"Liu came here to naturally follow the command of Senior Sister Hongyu. We should all work together."
Liu Yu caught the black scroll and put it in his storage bag, complimenting slightly.
"It's inconvenient to talk here. Junior Brother Liu, please enter the medicine garden first."
After Yan Hongyu finished speaking, she led the way from the front, and Liu Yu followed behind with ten Qi-refining stage disciples.
After passing through the formation, there is a row of stairs going down. The stairs are all black and about two feet wide. They are obviously made of the mud in the swamp. They are solidified by magic into a neat square shape, and the thick atmosphere is eliminated.
Odor.
Walking straight down the stairs and turning three corners, the view becomes wider.
A huge space was opened up under the swamp. Visually, the length and width were close to 300 feet, and the height was about 300 to 400 feet.
Moreover, the spiritual energy in this space is extremely rich, more than twice as good as Liu Yu's Cailian Mountain Cave. If a monk in the general Qi refining period practices here, his cultivation speed can be increased by about 30%.
If a mortal could live in such an environment, he would definitely be strong and live to be a hundred years old without any disease or disaster.
I saw that in the center of the medicine garden were large and small spiritual fields, divided by grooves and divided into various shapes.
The spiritual field is square, round, and triangular, but it does not look messy at all. Instead, it has a pleasing feeling, and it is obvious that someone has taken care of it carefully.
"Huayuancao", "Purple Monkey Flower", "Centennial Vermilion Fruit" and "Green Lingzhi"
The spiritual herbs planted in the medicine garden are all used for refining the foundation-building and golden elixir-stage elixirs. With Liu Yu's experience, he could only recognize about half of them, and the other half were unheard of and could not even be named.
