Chapter 252: Liquidation of old accounts (seeking the month)
"These are the only doubts that this disciple has accumulated over the years."
"I beg you, Master, to give me some advice. I will never forget this!"
After saying this, Geng Yunsong bent down deeply and did not get up for a long time.
Although the road is rugged and full of thorns, it can be seen that this man has a very upright outlook on life and has not contracted any "bad habits".
The tone is sincere and the words come from the heart, without seeming to be fake.
Unless you have actor-level acting skills, you can hide everything from Liu Yu, but obviously, this junior in front of you is not.
He shook his head secretly in his mind.
If the sect is content with the status quo, these characteristics are indeed enough, but if it wants to obtain more resources, it must be "smooth" and make some changes.
He didn't need the so-called repayment and remembrance of a monk in the Qi Refining Stage, so after listening to this son's words, his heart felt calm.
Liu Yu did not reply immediately, but fell into thinking.
After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and gave answers to his questions one by one.
As the level of cultivation increases, if you give some guidance to the monks in the Qi refining stage from a high position, of course there will be no major problems, and they are basically correct.
Most of the questions can be given accurate and correct answers, and a small number of questions can also be given a general direction for the student to try slowly by himself.
Even monks in the Golden Core Stage dare not say that their understanding of the Qi Refining Stage is perfect and there will be no problems at all.
If you give a precise and affirmative answer to every question, it will undoubtedly mislead students.
And his level is only foundation building, and he can be considered excellent if he can answer more than 90% of the questions in the Qi Refining stage.
Even if it has nothing to do with his interests, Liu Yu still sticks to his promise.
Therefore, there is no truth or falsehood in the guidance, or deception to leave hidden pits. It completely demonstrates the style of a "senior expert".
"Master Nephew Geng, do you still have any doubts? If so, let's talk about it together."
"The next answer will be in half a year."
After talking for nearly half an hour without stopping, Liu Yu felt her mouth was dry, so she took out the prepared spiritual tea from her storage bag and took a sip before asking casually.
"These are the only questions I have for the time being. Thank you, Master Liu, for clarifying my doubts!"
Geng Yunsong bowed again politely, and then said.
"Well~ since there's nothing to do, please step back over there."
Liu Yu waved her hand without changing her expression and said calmly.
"Yes, disciple, resign!"
After Geng Yunsong saluted, he slowly exited the cave.
Liu Yu put down the tea cup, looked at Geng Yunsong's back and shook his head slowly. After all, this man did not understand his true meaning.
If you can improve your realm by practicing hard and eventually become an immortal, then what is the difference between a genius and a waste?
Why has the world of immortality been competing for resources and territory all the time since ancient times? Countless monks have fallen because of it?
If you follow the rules, you will inevitably turn into a handful of loess in the end, especially if your qualifications are average, and it will kill your future.
Only by breaking down barriers, changing your thinking, looking for opportunities in chaos, and planting a golden lotus in the fire, can you "change your destiny against the will of heaven."
The first words also contained a hint of reminding him to pay attention to flexibility.
"Ordinary, ordinary."
This is Liu Yu's impression of this son.
Although Geng Yunsong became an immortal cultivator, his thinking has not undergone a fundamental transformation and he still remains at the stage of a mortal.
There is extraordinary power, but no extraordinary thinking.
In other words, we don’t really understand the world as it really is.
Once you succeed, all your bones will wither.
So, how much blood does it take to form a Nascent Soul?
What about a great being like a true immortal? How many souls will become dead souls because of this?
Shaking his head slightly, Liu Yu did not take these questions to heart, and picked up the spiritual grass and read through it again.
Time flew by unconsciously, and two more hours passed in the blink of an eye.
There was movement from the Wutu bluestone formation. Liu Yu scanned his consciousness and found a familiar figure, so he opened the cave.
A male cultivator who was at the peak of Qi refining, tall and tall, with dark skin and a simple appearance, but with a gleam in his eyes walked in.
The person coming is none other than Wu Chang!
Now that the cultivation base has been established, the strength is sufficient, and the wings are full, it is almost time to end some causes and effects.
More than twenty years ago, before Liu Yu went on a mission to Hanyue City.
I once bought the Zimu Soul-Chasing Blade from the Jubao Building in Liuyunfang City. Since I spent a lot of money at that time, the person in charge, Du Jingshan, saw the money and did some tricks.
He pretended not to know anything at the time, and didn't clean up his "hands and feet" until he left Liuyunfang City.
At that time, Liu Yu was only a young monk in the Qi refining stage, and his cultivation would reach the later stage of Qi refining.
If he hadn't discovered this trick, he would have left the sect and faced the pursuit of the foundation-building monks, and there would have been no way he would have been able to survive, either intentionally or unintentionally.
If it weren't for the sect's market, which made Du Jingshan scrupulous, he would have let him control it.
But there are not so many ifs in the world of immortality, which can avoid disaster. The only word is to be cautious.
At that time, he secretly swore in his heart that if he was strong enough in the future, he would have to take revenge!
More than twenty years have passed, and his strength is no longer the same as it was back then. If this person has not broken through to the late stage of foundation building, then the time for ending this cause and effect will not be far away.
If this person breaks through to the late stage of foundation building, he can survive for a while and wait until his cultivation and strength have improved before taking action.
But anyway, we can almost start preparing for this now.
As long as one's strength allows, one can grudge and grudge as one pleases, without restraint and as freely as he wants.
Just now I have lived up to my journey of cultivating immortality!
It was precisely for this reason that Wu Chang was called here.
"Wu Chang has met Uncle Liu!"
"I have long heard that my uncle has gone to the frontline battlefield with his invincible power to kill enemy cultivators and defend the interests and reputation of the sect."
"Uncle Master's heroic appearance really impresses the disciples!"
After not seeing each other for many years, Wu Chang already had scattered white hair on his head, which made him look more mature and steady, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt familiar, and he spoke loudly with a respectful smile on his face.
At the same time, he bent down and saluted, without any ambiguity at all, and his movements were very precise.
"Sure enough, this guy's tone is consistent."
A smile appeared on Liu Yu's face. Although this was a relatively common flattery, it still made the monk feel comfortable and useful.
"Okay, okay."
"You and I have known each other for decades, so there's no need to be so polite. Sit down."
Liu Yu interrupted Wu Chang with a smile and raised her hand to signal him to come to the opposite side.
"yes!"
After hearing this, Wu Chang raised his head cautiously and observed the expression on Master Liu's face.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, he responded loudly, put away his courtesy and sat on the stone bench opposite.
Seeing this, Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Wu Chang about his experiences over the years.
After some inquiries, I learned that this person had been sent out by the sect to perform several missions after returning from Hanyue City, but they were all missions within Qingzhou and he did not encounter much danger.
"The amount of spiritual stones I got from Hanyue City was used in cultivation. It was almost used up very quickly, and then the cultivation speed plummeted."
"After practicing for twenty years, the disciple has already passed the age of fifty and will reach the peak of Qi refining."
"Don't talk about the three foundation-building treasures now. Ordinary foundation-building spiritual objects are not available at all, and the spiritual stones are so eager to be broken into two halves."
"I still miss the days when I followed Master Liu and performed missions together."
In the end, Wu Chang was half reminiscing, half sighing, as if he meant something, and his words showed some intention.
He is a true spiritual root monk with good qualifications, but without the support of his family, relatives and friends, his cultivation speed is not much faster, which is exactly the opposite of Geng Yunsong's situation.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yu just smiled but avoided answering.
With his current status as a second-level alchemist and foundation-building monk, he only needs to say hello, and there will be many Qi-refining-level monks working for him, so there will be no shortage of manpower.
What's more, Wu Chang will only reach the peak of Qi refining in his fifties. With a lack of resources, even if he tries hard, the chance of success in foundation building is very small, and there is no value in cultivating him.
Although Liu Yu does not lack resources, she does not have the habit of "poverty alleviation".
Even the "foundation building experience" that does not cost spiritual stones is not taught for free. At a certain moment, for a certain kind of monk, knowledge itself is a value.
And he has always respected knowledge, especially knowledge related to cultivating immortality.
As for that bit of friendship, it is even less worth mentioning in front of the real spiritual stone.
He is used to considering many things from the perspective of interests.
The first thing I think of is this person, just because he is familiar with me. It does not mean that there are no other channels.
Seeing that Liu Yu avoided answering, Wu Chang changed the subject wisely and talked about some interesting things in the sect. It was like he was in Hanyue City in a trance, but the status gap between the two parties was even greater.
"Okay, no more gossip."
"I asked you to come here this time because I have something for you to do."
"Liu knows that you are relatively well-informed and wants you to find out the details of a foundation-building monk and the forces behind him."
Liu Yu interrupted his seemingly endless words and said solemnly with a solemn expression.
"Foundation-building monk! Uncle Liu, this...?"
Wu Chang looked surprised when he heard this, then he frowned and said hesitantly.
He seemed very embarrassed and did not agree immediately.
In Liu Yu's opinion, his expression was a bit exaggerated, but it was not revealed.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking you to inquire about the news, and I won't involve you in it."
"Besides, your benefits are indispensable."
"Isn't Master Wu preparing to attack the foundation building bottleneck? If you can get more accurate and sufficient information."
"The complete foundation building experience Liu has here is yours, plus two hundred spiritual stones."
Liu Yu said calmly, and with a wave of his sleeves, two hundred low-grade spiritual stones appeared on the table. At the same time, the spiritual pressure around his body no longer restrained, and he pressed towards the person opposite.
Wu Chang had reached the peak of Qi refining, and his savings had been depleted, so two hundred colorful spiritual stones appeared on the table, which immediately attracted his attention.
When he heard the four words "foundation building experience", his face suddenly lit up with joy. This was what he needed most at the moment.
Then he felt a heavy pressure on his body, making his breathing become heavier.
"It is a disciple's honor to serve Master Liu."
"Leave this matter to the disciples to ensure that the person's details are clearly investigated."
With a hand of spiritual stones and experience, he really caught Wu Chang's pain point, so he immediately agreed.
What's more, the price offered by Uncle Liu is considered high, higher than the price paid by many intelligence agencies for purchasing information.
Wu Chang looked embarrassed before, just to give people the illusion that information was difficult to obtain, but now faced with the spiritual pressure that enveloped his body, he had to give in, otherwise he would probably offend his good uncle.
"Very good, Master Wu did not disappoint me. These fifty spiritual stones are an advance payment. You can use it for your work."
"After Liu confirms that the information is correct, I will hand over the remaining spirit stones and foundation building experience to you."
Seeing this, Liu Yu's expression softened and he said with a hint of smile.
After the words fell, Fa Li moved his arm slightly and pushed forward slightly, and fifty spiritual stones were pushed over.
"Yes, everything depends on senior brother's instructions!"
Wu Chang answered decisively without any hesitation.
"Liuyunfang City, Jubao Tower, Dujing Mountain."
"This person was in the middle stage of foundation building twenty years ago, and he looks..."
"That's all we know so far. Can we find out? Are there still questions?"
Liu Yu nodded lightly, and then began to tell the news about Du Jingshan one by one.
"Uncle Liu, don't worry. With this information, it is enough to find out the details of Du Jingshan."
"The disciples have all written it down. After leaving Master Uncle's cave later, they will immediately start to deal with this matter."
Wu Chang promised swornly.
"Besides, the most important thing is confidentiality. It's best not to let other monks besides you and me know."
"Do you understand what Liu means?"
Liu Yu stared at Wu Chang with sharp eyes and said with profound meaning.
Wu Chang was worthy of being an "old fritter". He understood immediately and took the oath of inner demons on the spot without any hesitation.
After carefully recalling the inner demon's oath and finding no loopholes, Liu Yu waved him off.
"Disciple, resign!"
"If there is any news, please report it to Uncle Master immediately."
Wu Chang stood up and bowed, then turned around and slowly left the cave.
Watching him go away, after Wu Chang left the range of the Wutu Bluestone Formation, Liu Yu took out the token to completely close the formation, and then fell into deep thought.
There are three things currently before him. The first is to upgrade his cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building.
Currently, there are still five years of fire left before the peak of the initial stage of foundation building. Once the fire is reached, we can start to break through.
The second is to participate in the apprenticeship ceremony three years later to find a stable backer for himself in the sect.
You need to pay attention to this. Your performance should not be too good or too bad. It is best to be a registered disciple who is not taken seriously.
He can rely on the reputation of the Golden Core cultivator to facilitate things within the sect, but he is not truly trusted by him and cannot direct him to do things.
The third is to earn spiritual stones. You cannot always sell foundation-building elixirs to other stores. The Yan family's channel must also be maintained.
The benefits brought by the foundation-building elixir are not only the tangible spiritual stones, but also the intangible influence, which cannot be ignored.
At the same time, if you want to sell second-level elixirs in your own store, the Jade Alchemy Hall in Renhefang City is not suitable. You need to find a larger store and open it in a city with more foundation-building monks.
After all, foundation-building monks in Renhefang City rarely go there, and the alley is too dark for the smell of wine.
Moreover, the shopkeeper must also have the foundation-building level and be completely obedient. Currently, only Jiang Qiushui, who has planted the Soul Restriction, can be trusted, and there is no alternative.
The fourth is to settle past grievances and karma. At present, only Du Jingshan's old debt needs to be settled. As for the Zhuang Ziling family's, it is not yet time.
The fifth is to find a suitable body-building exercise. In principle, it is better to have less than too much and not to rush. Ordinary things are not worth your energy to practice.
