Chapter 265: The problem of erysipelas (two in one chapter)
The range of spiritual consciousness has been increased from seven and a half miles to nine miles, a full increase of about one and a half miles. The increase is not insignificant.
When ordinary monks have reached the peak of the late stage of foundation building, their spiritual consciousness is generally ten miles away. Without special opportunities, it is extremely difficult to continue to break through. But Liu Yugang has just advanced to the middle stage of foundation building, and has a range of nine miles, which is close to the limit of ordinary monks' foundation building realm.
"If I had this level of spiritual consciousness when I was in Wangyue City, then the spiritual consciousness mark would not have been discovered by the monk named Zhou, and there would be no need to miss the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill."
Feeling the surge of consciousness after the breakthrough, Liu Yu thought with some regret.
The reason why the mark of divine consciousness left behind by the Divine Mystic Technique was detectable in the past was mainly due to the fact that one's own divine consciousness was not strong enough. If one were to leave a mark with the current level of divine consciousness, it would be difficult for even an average monk at the peak of the Foundation Establishment to detect it.
It is my own spiritual consciousness that limits the performance of the Mystical Dharma. Now that my spiritual awareness has been greatly enhanced, I am even more able to bring out the mysteries of the Mysterious Dharma.
The attached divine consciousness attack spell, Shocking Sting, increases its power.
Before the upgrade, the Shocking Thorn had very limited effect on late-stage monks building foundations. But now, a Shocking Thorn can make late-stage monks lose consciousness for a moment or even longer.
In a foundation-building level battle, a lot of things can be done in just a split second.
The Shocking Thorn became Liu Yu's important trump card when facing other monks.
It’s just important to note that as the opponent’s level increases, the possibility of him being able to defend himself against spiritual attacks on magic weapons also increases a lot, and he might encounter one at some point.
In fact, the total amount of mana is nearly half more than before the breakthrough, and the restrictions on cultivation have been lifted, so it can continue to grow in the future.
In this way, Liu Yu can use the magic weapon for a longer time and has more room for operation.
With powerful spiritual consciousness, deeper and purer magic power than ordinary monks in the middle stage of foundation building, and several high-grade spiritual weapons, Liu Yu is not afraid at all even if he does not use talismans to face the late stage of foundation building head-on.
The improvement of realm is growth in all aspects.
But because of his skills, he has surpassed monks of the same level in terms of mana and consciousness. He spent so many more elixirs and spiritual stones than other monks, but it was worth it in the end.
After experiencing the changes in the middle stage of foundation building for a while, Liu Yu sat down cross-legged again and continued to consolidate his cultivation.
This time he did not take any pills, but only absorbed the spirit stones and the spiritual energy from heaven and earth to consolidate his newly achieved breakthrough.
One pill a day is the most reasonable way to take it. If it exceeds this limit, the accumulation of erysipelas will be much faster, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
It took half a month to consolidate his cultivation, and Liu Yu opened his eyes again after half a month.
By this time, he was already familiar with the many changes that would occur after his realm was improved. The spiritual pressure around him was much higher than that of an ordinary mid-level foundation-building monk, and he didn't look like he had just been promoted at all.
He got up and left the practice room, washed his body and put on new clothes.
Sitting on the grand master's chair in the hall, Liu Yu took out the Qingyang Kung Fu and began to comprehend the later stages of the sixth level of foundation building.
"Maybe it's time to go out for a walk."
Two hours later, Liu Yu put down the book on Qingyang Gong, and this thought flashed through his mind.
The first is erysipelas, and it’s time to deal with it.
Although I only take one elixir a day, the quantity cannot be tolerated. After twenty or thirty years of accumulation, it is not a big or small hidden danger.
Erysipelas exists in the meridians, Dantian, and everywhere in the body. It is deeply hidden and extremely difficult to remove without using some special methods.
Although it will not cause direct harm to monks, if it accumulates too much, it will seriously affect the operation of mana and the absorption and refining of spiritual energy, thus hindering the breakthrough of cultivation bottlenecks.
If erysipelas is not eliminated, the bottleneck that is already difficult to break through will become even more difficult.
After reaching the middle stage of foundation building, it was time for Liu Yu to make some preparations for the future elixir formation. If the problem of erysipelas was not solved, the success rate of some condensation golden elixirs would undoubtedly be reduced.
And with his qualifications of three spiritual roots, it is almost inevitable to encounter bottlenecks in the later stages of foundation building. In this way, there will be two bottlenecks, one small and one large, that need to be broken through, and it is imperative to solve the erysipelas.
Everything has pros and cons. If you enjoy the benefits of taking elixirs to quickly improve your cultivation, you will also have to bear the hidden dangers of erysipelas.
Liu Yu had already been mentally prepared for this.
When breaking through the bottleneck in the later stages of Qi refining and foundation building, the erysipelas was still shallow and had little impact on breaking through the bottleneck, so Liu Yu did not spend time dealing with it.
But now we have to deal with this problem for the future.
The second step is to buy spiritual weapons.
With further improvement in cultivation, the power of top-grade spiritual weapons can be fully unleashed. With Liu Yu's current quality and depth of mana, most of the power of top-grade spiritual weapons can also be unleashed.
Even if a top-grade spiritual weapon has only half of its power, it can easily sweep away high-grade spiritual weapons, which will greatly improve the strength. Of course, such a thing cannot be delayed.
In this cruel and real world of immortality, every time you become stronger, you become safer!
Secondly, there are some other things that need to be done outside, so I won’t go into details.
"We have just made a breakthrough in cultivation, and it is impossible to make any major progress in a short period of time."
Making a decision in his heart, Liu Yu used the hidden spirit technique to bring his cultivation, mana and spiritual pressure back to the early stages of foundation building, and then left the cave.
The resources that small and medium-sized markets have in all aspects are much worse than those of large markets.
The cultivation level of monks in the former is generally lower than that of the latter, and monks in the foundation-building stage are rare in the city, so low-level immortal cultivation resources account for the majority, and high-level immortal cultivation resources are very few.
The large-scale market is different. Both the quantity and quality of monks far exceed that of small and medium-sized markets. It is the first choice for monks to trade in the foundation period. Therefore, there are more rare cultivating resources in them, both in terms of types and other aspects, so it attracts more people.
Many monks came, creating a virtuous circle.
If Liu Yu wants to buy top-quality spiritual weapons and treasures that can remove erysipelas, he has a greater chance of getting something from a large-scale market. Naturally, the first choice is a large-scale market.
Among the large markets near the Yuanyang Sect, the most familiar one is naturally the Jinxing Market where a Yudan Hall was opened.
After leaving the cave, Liu Yu patted his storage bag and took out the Soul-Chasing Blade, which turned into a black light and soared into the sky, flying towards the east of the Yuanyang Sect's mountain gate.
…
Jinxingfang City was established dozens of miles away from the Hengduan branch occupied by monsters, and five hundred miles east of the Yuanyang Sect's mountain gate. It was an out-and-out large-scale gathering place for immortal cultivators.
At noon, a ray of black light came from the east and fell in front of the market. A young, ordinary-looking monk wearing black robes appeared.
This person is none other than Liu Yu!
There are all kinds of monks from all directions, gathering towards the market.
Most of these monks were in the Qi-refining stage. When they saw an "expert" in the Foundation-building stage descending from the sky, they all looked at them with awe and chose to take a detour for fear of violating the taboos of their predecessors.
Cultivation in the foundation-building period is no longer considered the lowest level in today's world of immortal cultivation.
Ignoring these Qi Refining Stage monks, Liu Yu walked straight towards Fang City.
The entire city is shrouded in formations, and only the east and west entrances are open for monks to enter. Various formations with different effects are arranged in front of the entrances, and monks are in charge at all times to prevent daring people from causing trouble.
The five Fangshi guards on the left and right were wearing spiritual armor, holding sophisticated spear-like instruments, and their cultivation levels were all above the late stage of Qi Refining. Each of them stood upright, staring at the monks coming in and out with bright eyes, as if they were always reminded of these
The rules of Renfang City.
In terms of scale, Jinxingfang City is only slightly inferior to Wangyue City, but in terms of defense capabilities and other aspects, it is far behind.
But what remains unchanged is that they are all under the control of the Yuanyang Sect. At least the sect occupies the vast majority of the profit distribution in the city. Otherwise, it would not be called Venus, and it would be called another name.
Liu Yu had been to Jinxingfang City several times, so naturally he wasn't too curious at this time. After entering the city, he walked towards a less lively street on the right.
With a rent of six hundred spirit stones per year, in such a large market, it is naturally impossible to rent the most prosperous street. However, it is not too bad, and there are still a lot of monks coming and going every day.
The east entrance of Jinxingfang City, the third building on the tenth street on the right, has the three characters Yudantang written on the plaque from left to right. Liu Yu paused, took a look and walked in.
There is not much difference in the layout of the two stores under my name, it’s just that the one in Jinxingfang City is bigger and more impressive.
Because a first-level alchemist was transferred here, the store's business has improved a lot. Coupled with the flow of people, there are not many customers in the store at this time.
Liu Yu had been to the store several times in the past few years, so all the clerks knew the "owner", and several people immediately wanted to come forward and ask for instructions.
After making a gesture to stop their behavior, Liu Yu called a clerk and asked:
"Where is Shopkeeper Jiang? Are you receiving guests?"
The clerk in the Qi refining stage bent down to salute, his collar seemed to "unintentionally" reflect the outline of the mountains, and he said with trembling surprise:
"Back to my boss, there are currently no seniors from the foundation building stage coming to our store. The shopkeeper is resting on the fourth floor."
After Jiang Qiushui reaches the foundation building stage, she will naturally leave matters such as receiving Qi Refining stage monks to other shop assistants. She only needs to maintain the normal operation of the entire store and greet the distinguished customers who buy second-level elixirs.
"Well, you go and do your work."
Liu Yu said lightly, waved him off, and then walked up the stairs.
The third floor is still a living place, divided into two rooms, one large and one small. Although he may not come here every few years, he still stays there.
On the third floor, the door of Jiang Qiushui's room was open. You could see this woman sitting cross-legged in front of the case, holding a few books and reading some information with her head down. It seemed that she was so absorbed that she didn't notice anyone coming.
"Dong dong"
Liu Yu lightly knocked on the door to alert the other party, then walked into the room and sat down opposite the desk.
"Senior brother, why are you here suddenly?"
Jiang Qiushui raised her head and put down the book, with a smile in her bright eyes, as if she was a little surprised. As she spoke, she stood up and poured Liu Yu a cup of spiritual tea.
"There is no need to serve the spiritual tea. I just sit there for a while and then leave immediately."
"Some things happen to be held in Jinxingfang City this time, so I came over to take a look."
Liu Yu stopped the woman's movements and explained patiently.
When Jiang Qiushui heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he still said: "Senior brother, if you have anything to do, just ask me, I will leave immediately to handle it."
"You don't need to worry about these things."
"Take the income from the store over the past year, as well as the spiritual herbs and elixirs I asked you to collect last time. How is the situation going?"
Liu Yu said calmly.
At the same time, he frowned secretly. After walking into her heart through the passage below, Jiang Qiushui seemed to want to take care of more and more. Things were developing in some uncontrollable direction.
After all, females are still emotional, and sometimes they will give up consideration of interests because of some things.
Perhaps this relationship shouldn't have been involved in the first place?
Although the intention is for his own good, he doesn't have the patience to be affectionate!
"Most of those spiritual herbs are very rare. Even if we purchase the seeds of the spiritual herbs, we can still only purchase a small part of them."
"This is the revenue of the store in the past year, totaling 9,000 spiritual stones. After deducting the cost of purchasing spiritual herbs, there are still 7,000 spiritual stones left."
Jiang Qiushui's originally delighted eyes dimmed slightly, he took off a storage bag he carried with him, put it on the desk and pushed it towards the opposite side.
Nowadays, twenty bottles of Jingyuan Dan are sold here every year, which is exactly 9,000 spirit stones, no more, no less. This proves that after transferring an alchemist, this shop has been able to break even.
Spending two thousand spiritual stones next year to collect spiritual herbs can effectively cover up the source of the spiritual herbs used in alchemy and reduce the risk of the secrets of the Immortal Mansion being exposed. It is still worthwhile.
As for the spiritual herbs used to refine the Golden Pill, many of them are rare and hard to find, and time is short at the moment, so it is normal to only collect a little.
Liu Yu didn't intend to blame.
This is a plan that lasts for tens or even hundreds of years. He is only in the middle stage of foundation building and is still far from reaching the peak of the late stage of foundation building where he can hit the golden elixir. He is not in a hurry to do it in just a few years.
"Very good, junior sister has been doing well, keep it up."
"Do not disappoint me."
After scanning the spiritual stones, spiritual herbs and elixirs with his spiritual consciousness, Liu Yu showed a smile and spoke in a slightly gentle tone.
With the spiritual herbs that I already had, and now that I have collected them, I now have one-fifth of the spiritual herbs needed to form the golden elixir. Of course, the main five element spiritual fruits are not included.
The Jinxing Jade Pill Hall earns 7,000 spiritual stones every year, the Renhe Jade Pill Hall earns 3,000 spiritual stones every year, and the Yan family earns 2,800 spiritual stones every year.
Adding up the income from these three aspects, and subtracting the annual cultivation consumption of about 9,000 spirit stones, the number of spirit stones in Liu Yu's storage bag has returned to 15,000. For such a huge sum of money, buying two
Three top-quality spiritual weapons are enough.
"Thank you for the compliment, senior brother. I will not let you down."
Jiang Qiushui forced a smile, but there was still a touch of sadness between his eyebrows.
Liu Yu nodded slightly, then left the Jade Pill Hall and hurried to attend the abnormal auction in Jinxingfang City to see if he could buy a suitable top-grade spiritual weapon.
