Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight: black robe insect repair (two in one chapter)
At this point, the sacrificial refining of the Molten Blade has been initially completed.
At this time, 70% to 80% of the power of the spiritual weapon can be exerted, and the rest is a period of running-in. When the running-in is completed, the molten knife can fully exert its power.
This is Liu Yu's first top-quality spiritual weapon.
Acquiring this magical weapon means that his strength has officially entered the high-end of the foundation-building realm, surpassing most foundation-building monks.
At this time, if he encounters an opponent like Li Bu Tong, Liu Yu has the confidence to deal with him with the help of the Jingshen Thorn and the Molten Knife when both sides do not use their trump cards.
Even though he is not an opponent yet, he is somewhat sure of escaping unharmed.
Although he really wanted to try the edge of the best spiritual weapon, the environment like Yudantang obviously couldn't withstand the tossing, so Liu Yu had no choice but to give up and put the molten fire knife into a storage bag.
Then he took out the refined Yangyuan Pill, swallowed it, started to practice the exercises, and started daily practice.
The refining difficulty of Yang Yuan Dan is similar to that of Qing Yuan Dan, but the age of the spiritual grass required is much lower than that of the latter, making it more suitable for sale.
Qing Yuan Dan is an ancient prescription, and it is extremely powerful for monks in the early stages of foundation building. However, the age of the spiritual herbs required is older than that of Yang Yuan Dan, so it is not suitable for sale.
If other monks have also seen this ancient prescription and seen Liu Yu selling a large amount of Qing Yuan Dan, they will definitely wonder where so many old spiritual herbs come from.
Therefore, Liu Yu only sold a small amount of Qing Yuan Dan. He mainly relied on the second-level low-grade Jing Yuan Dan to earn spiritual stones. As for the second-level middle-grade Yang Yuan Dan, he planned to put it in the store in another twenty or thirty years.
As long as the spiritual stone is enough, Liu Yu knows what he needs and will not sacrifice for the small.
…
Time flies, and three months have passed.
During the past three months, Liu Yu spent three hours a day completing daily practice, one hour warming up the magical artifacts, and the rest of the time attending various auctions and gatherings with foundation-building monks.
But I don’t know if it’s because the good use has been exhausted, but the harvest is very little, and the shadow of the best defensive spiritual weapon is not seen.
In order to get rid of erysipelas, I collected a relatively rare "Earth Stone Dark Milk". I spent 500 spirit stones on it, but the effect after using it was unsatisfactory.
A part of the erysipelas has been eliminated, but most of it remains like maggots attached to the bones and accumulated in various meridians.
Most of the removed parts are erysipelas left behind by taking elixirs during the Qi refining period, which are superficial erysipelas with less entanglement.
When the monk is in the Qi refining stage, the gaseous mana and the physical body are not so closely combined. However, the medicinal power of the elixir is refined into mana, and most of the erysipelas flow with the mana, so naturally it will not be deposited too deeply.
But in the foundation building stage, the physical body has been cleansed by spiritual energy. While the physical body is strengthened in all directions, it is also more closely integrated with the magic power. While practicing, the physical body will be passively strengthened, and the erysipelas will naturally be deposited deeper.
Therefore, erysipelas produced after the foundation-building period is more difficult to remove.
Liu Yu wanted to get rid of this part of erysipelas, so he naturally needed a more effective "detoxification spirit".
Considering that after purchasing the Molten Knife, there are only more than 5,000 spiritual stones left in the storage bag, it is a long way to go to buy the best defensive spiritual weapon.
In the past few months, he disguised himself and went to auctions and gatherings with monks. At the same time, he also sold a batch of Jingyuan Pills and Yangyuan Pills one after another, bringing the spiritual stone back to around 13,000.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Liu Yu finished his practice, opened the formation and went downstairs. He nodded slightly to the clerk who greeted him, and then left the Jade Alchemy Hall, preparing to attend an exchange meeting held by a well-known casual cultivator.
Second-level elixirs are relatively rare. After some publicity, many foundation-building monks came to buy them. Some monks came often and gradually became familiar with them. After becoming familiar with the quota of twenty bottles of elixirs every year, they will naturally be given priority.
supply them.
It was through these monks that Jiang Qiushui learned about the many monk gatherings held near Jinxingfang City, and then informed Liu Yu.
It is worth mentioning that although Liu Yu temporarily stayed at the Jade Pill Hall, he did not interfere in the management of the store. Even if a monk purchased the Jingyuan Pill, it was Jiang Qiushui who came forward.
"I will stay in Jinxingfang City for another three months to see if there is anything I want in the next Jinxing Auction House auction. If it doesn't work, I will go back to the sect and find a way."
"There is no imminent crisis at the moment, and we are far from the bottleneck in the later stage. It is better to be on the safe side and not rush for a while."
This thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and then he skillfully walked into a remote and hidden alley and completed the change of clothes. He transformed into a middle-aged Taoist priest in yellow robe with disheveled hair, and then walked slowly towards the east gate without any hurry or slowness.
Go.
Casual cultivators embark on the path of cultivating immortals for various reasons, and their cultivation qualifications and even circumstances vary greatly. Most of them are people who have reached the middle stage of Qi refining and are unable to purchase low-grade magic weapons.
But after all, there is a huge base, and there are also a few "reckless heroes" who have stood out after many hardships. For example, Yan Wuyou, who was chased by the Qingxu Sect and fled into Qingzhou, most sect disciples do not dare to look down on them, and they can't say anything when they meet them.
He will also call him "Brother Yan".
Qingsong Laodao, the casual cultivator who took the lead in holding this exchange meeting, is this kind of person and is the best among thousands of casual cultivators.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Yu walked into a teahouse called "Fengyu Tower" at the east gate.
"Senior, did you just come to join the party?"
Immediately a young waiter came up to him and asked respectfully.
"good."
Liu Yu looked around the teahouse and said calmly.
"Okay, senior, please go to the second floor. Many seniors are already here."
"This junior wants to greet the guests, so I won't accompany you."
The young waiter said enthusiastically, pointing to the stairs not far away.
Liu Yu nodded slightly, then walked towards the second floor of Fengyu Building, and soon saw the scene inside.
The space, which is about ten feet long and wide, is decorated in a simple and natural way. The placement of the decorations seems random, but it also implies a certain pattern. Whatever you see is pleasing to the eye, it has a Taoist charm of tranquility and inaction.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen square tables set up inside, and about a dozen people had already arrived and were chatting with each other. None of them had a cultivation level lower than the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Fellow Daoist Hong is indeed here, but he hasn't found the detoxifying spirit yet?"
A pretty female cultivator with heavy makeup caught a glimpse of Liu Yu and said hello with a smile.
"Yes, I have been busy for so long, but I have achieved nothing."
Liu Yu showed a smile on her face and replied politely.
The circle of monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage is only that big. He has attended gatherings like this several times in the past three months, so naturally he has become familiar with some of them, to the extent that he can call them by name.
As for why ordinary monks were so short of medicinal elixirs, and why they still accumulated so much erysipelas, no monks were ignorant to ask, and Liu Yu had no intention of explaining it to them.
After being able to practice to the foundation-building stage, every monk has his or her own secrets. It is extremely taboo to carelessly explore the secrets of other monks. Such monks are very rare, and they may disappear in the world of immortality.
Liu Yu did not join in their conversation, but sat down at the table next to them, politely greeting people he knew, and keeping a certain distance.
Seeing Liu Yu's neither salty nor cool attitude, the female cultivator with heavy make-up had no intention of sticking her face to the cold buttocks. After saying hello, she turned around and continued talking to the familiar person.
This monk surnamed Hong, who needed a "detoxifying spirit", was a bit mysterious in her eyes, which made her curious and wanted to know more about him. However, his polite and distant attitude made people inaccessible, so she had no choice but to give up.
"Fellow Daoist Qingshi, seeing how happy you are, you must have gained a lot from your last trip to the mountain, right?"
"Old Wei, we haven't seen each other for just five years, and you've actually broken through to the late stage of foundation building?!"
Liu Yu sat alone at a table, poured a cup of spiritual tea and drank it by herself. At the same time, she looked around and listened in all directions, trying to collect useful information.
After drinking a cup of spiritual tea, Liu Yu noticed that there was a table where the monk was sitting alone.
This man was dressed in black robes and had a pale face. The hood covered most of his face, making it difficult for people to see his face clearly. A kind of cold and distant temperament emerged spontaneously.
He is in the middle stage of foundation building. The most eye-catching thing is that there are several cloth bags hanging on his waist, and the storage bag is just one of them.
"Spiritual Beast Bag, could this person be a monk from the Yuling Sect of Nanyu Kingdom?"
Liu Yu's heart moved, and she immediately recognized the cloth bags of the man in black robes as spirit beast bags.
There are no sects in Chu State that specialize in driving spirit beasts. Even among the five major sects, there are very few monks with spirit beasts, and even fewer have practiced to the level of foundation building.
On the contrary, the Yuling Sect of the neighboring country Nanyu is good at controlling beasts, and it is as large as the Yuanyang Sect. There are many disciples in the sect who control the spirit beasts.
No wonder Liu Yu had this association. There are abundant resources for cultivating immortals in the branches of Venus. What's even more rare is that they have basically not been exploited by human monks, so they have always attracted some immortal cultivators from inland countries to take risks here.
It seemed that because Liu Yu had been looking at him for a long time, the man in black robe turned his head and looked at him coldly, his eyes cold and sharp.
Liu Yu looked away calmly and continued to listen to the information exchanged by the monks. He didn't think much about it. After all, it was normal to meet monks from other countries here.
As time passed, more and more monks came to join the gathering. Finally, there were twenty people, and no one joined them for a while.
At this time, an old Taoist wearing a green Taoist robe and a long black beard walked up and said:
"I am a poor Taoist, Qingsong. Thank you fellow Taoists for showing me some favors and coming to support me."
"This exchange meeting is held as a bridge to connect colleagues and I to share what we have. If there are any differences of opinion later, I hope all of you will not hurt the harmony."
"It's almost time. Let's start the exchange meeting now. The rules will be implemented as in a normal exchange meeting. I believe you all understand, so I won't go into details."
"Pindao, as the host this time, is the first to start the conversation."
As he spoke, Old Taoist Qingsong gently touched the storage bag, took out a light red demon pill and said:
"A second-grade high-grade fire-attribute demonic beast inner elixir. It is well preserved and contains rich fire-attribute aura. Whether it is used for practicing exercises or refining elixirs, it will be of great benefit to our generation."
"This demon pill can be exchanged for spiritual stones. Each Taoist friend has only one chance to bid. The one with the highest price will get it."
"Wanted Taoist friends can send messages to Pindao."
After saying this, many monks had flashes of emotion in their eyes. After all, this demon elixir reached the second level of high grade, which corresponds to the cultivation level of the monks in the later stage of foundation building.
This is a rare thing for monks in the early and middle stages of foundation building. It is especially useful for some monks who practice fire-attribute skills. Other monks can also use it to exchange things for what they need.
.
So a monk immediately thought about it, estimated the value of this demon pill, and then sent a message to Old Taoist Qingsong with his spiritual consciousness.
Although Liu Yu practiced fire-attribute skills, he had pills to take, and there was no demand for the fire-attribute demon pill, so he did not bid.
What Qingyang Demonic Fire needs is the physical body and some "energy" in the soul as fuel. The demonic elixir leaves the demonic beast's body, and there is no demonic beast essence stored in it, so naturally it cannot provide fuel for the demonic fire.
After all, this exchange meeting was just a small-scale exchange of what was needed among the foundation-building monks. There were not many rare resources, and they were not even as good as some small auctions.
Liu Yu came here just to try his luck. He was prepared in advance, so he couldn't be disappointed.
But what was trivial to him was not the same to other monks.
As treasures were taken out one by one, and what they wanted was successfully exchanged time and time again, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became heated.
But only half of them successfully concluded the deal, and half of the monks took out the treasures that no one cared about, or chose to refuse the deal when they saw the spiritual objects they wanted.
As time passed, it was the turn of the man in black robe who was suspected to be a monk from the Yuling Sect. He sat calmly without getting up. He took out a water-blue bead and placed it on the table, saying coldly:
"The ultimate defensive weapon, the Purple Source Bead, is exchanged for the second-level high-grade spiritual mulberry leaf."
"If any fellow Taoist has a second-order spiritual mulberry leaf, I would be willing to pay a high price to buy it."
"If there is any news about Lingsang, let me know and you can get a certain reward."
As soon as the man in black robe spoke, there was silence. The monks participating in the exchange meeting looked at each other, with a trace of pity in each other's eyes. It was obvious that no monk had a metallic spiritual mulberry leaf that reached the second-level high-grade.
Some monks rolled their eyes and thought that providing information would be beneficial, so they started to fool around.
"Could this person be one of the few "insect cultivators" among the beast-controlling cultivators?"
"It's a pity that the spiritual trees that can produce spiritual mulberry are extremely rare. They are even rarer than the five-hundred-year-old rare spiritual grass. What's more, the grade is as high as the second-grade top grade. I'm afraid this person will be disappointed."
Liu Yu sat motionless like an old pine, silently watching everything in the field, and this thought flashed through his mind.
A top-grade defensive magic weapon is worth at least one thousand two hundred spiritual stones, which makes many monks feel anxious. Unfortunately, there are no second-level spiritual mulberry leaves, so they can only watch helplessly.
After about ten breaths, the man in black robe stretched out his hand to take back the Purple Source Strain, but it was obvious that the exchange ended in failure.
But when his hand was about to touch the magic weapon, he suddenly paused, and then he freely put the magic weapon back into the storage bag.
"The divine consciousness transmits the message. Is there another way to get what this person needs?"
"Just why not do the deal above board?"
From the beginning, Liu Yu felt that this person was a little different from the other monks who participated in the exchange meeting, so he paid more attention and happened to notice this scene.
However, the sound transmission from the divine consciousness was extremely secretive and had minimal fluctuations. It did not require any physical movement. Wriggling the lips was just a habit of ordinary monks. He did not know who had sent the sound transmission.
After the man in black robe, two more people passed, and finally it was Liu Yu's turn.
"Hong needs a spiritual substance that can remove erysipelas in the foundation-building stage."
