"This is all I have to say. Fellow Taoist Hong might as well go back and think about it again."
"As long as you help Pindao kill or defeat the guardian monster, the formula and spiritual grass information will be given to you with both hands."
"If you Taoist friends have thought it over clearly, you can come back to Fengyu Tower to discuss it at noon in three days."
Old Taoist Qingsong said with a smile, and then picked up the teacup.
Liu Yu knew that the old Taoist had made up his mind, so he continued to persuade him, but it probably had no effect.
Seeing that his intention to serve tea to the guests was very obvious, he couldn't stay any longer. He said he would think about it carefully, got up and walked downstairs.
Walking on the wooden staircase, Liu Yu turned around and took a deep look, just in time to see the man in black robe sitting down.
"If I'm not mistaken, the other helper invited by Master Qingsong is this person."
After passing this thought, Liu Yu left the Fengyu Tower.
After confirming that no monks were following him, he found an alley to restore his original appearance and returned to the Jade Pill Hall.
Without notifying Jiang Qiushui, Liu Yu opened the door and entered the room, sat down, and then began to think.
First of all, Old Taoist Qingsong insists on one condition. If he wants to get the formula of Canglang Spiritual Water this time, he must enter the branches of Venus and at least help him defeat the monsters and get the golden elixir.
Liu Yu then thought about whether he should give up this opportunity. Anyway, he had just broken through recently and would not have to face the bottleneck for a while.
It's just that this detoxifying spirit is made from spiritual grass and can slightly improve his qualifications, which makes him a little hesitant.
If he can get the formula, he can ripen it through the Immortal Mansion and prepare a steady stream of Canglang Spiritual Water. He will no longer have to worry about erysipelas, at least in the foundation-building realm.
It is important to know that as long as you take elixirs, erysipelas will definitely occur. Even if you clean up a large amount of erysipelas at once, as long as you continue to take elixirs, erysipelas will definitely occur.
Although if there is not much erysipelas, it will not have a big impact on the monks, but Liu Yu cannot bear to take one Yangyuan Pill and one Yangshen Pill every day.
If you use other spiritual objects, you can only use them once, so you have to continue looking for them, which will require a certain amount of energy.
And if you get the Canglang Spiritual Water formula and collect the Qiling Grass, you can continuously configure it and solve the problem once and for all.
In his heart, he didn't want to pass by Canglang Lingshui, and then Liu Yu began to weigh the risks in this operation, and mentally estimated the strength of Qingsong Taoist and black-robed insect cultivator.
In the end, he came to the conclusion that these two people actually posed little threat to him.
Qingsong Laodao is a casual cultivator. Although he has a certain reputation among casual cultivators, he is not a famous monk.
Although his level is high, his cultivation techniques and magical weapons are definitely not very good. His combat power should be somewhat different from that of direct disciples of Jindan monks like Li Bu Tong, and he should be on par with himself.
After all, he has the best spiritual weapons and the magic Stunning Thorn as a basis, and his mana is purer than that of ordinary monks in the middle stage of foundation building. However, the total amount of mana is insufficient, and it would not be good for him to remain in a stalemate.
The black-robed male cultivator's cultivation level is only in the middle stage of foundation building. He is suspected to be a monk from the Yuling Sect. Most of his strength depends on the quality of the spirit beasts and insects. However, his realm is comparable to his own. Even if the spirit insects are ferocious, Liu Yu is confident that he can
Compete with them with the edge of magical weapons.
If the two of them join forces and sacrifice the talisman, I believe they can retreat calmly. After all, the talisman costs tens of thousands of spiritual stones, which is not affordable for most casual cultivators and sect monks.
Taking into account his various advantages and disadvantages, for Liu Yu, the biggest risk in entering the branches of Venus is not these two people, but the monsters in the mountains.
The branches of Venus are still dominated by monsters. All the order of human monks will lose their effect if they enter it. There may be third-level demon beasts passing by at any time.
The monk's body contains a large amount of spiritual energy, which is a great tonic for monsters, and monks in the foundation-building stage can already penetrate the eyes of third-level monsters, which is worthy of their special hunting.
Furthermore, humans and demons are inherently hostile to each other. As long as their strength is not much different, they will hunt each other without any reason. If Qingsong Laodao goes too far into the place, there is a risk of being besieged by monsters.
Risk, return.
Liu Yu's eyes kept flickering, weighing the risks and gains and losses in her heart.
Finally, his eyes narrowed and he made up his mind to take a trip.
With the Instant Thousand Mile Talisman in hand, it can be activated in an instant. Even if the situation is not right, there is still no problem in using this talisman to save your life.
"However, some preparations still need to be made."
Liu Yu murmured to himself.
A life-saving trump card like the Talisman of a Thousand Miles of Instantness would be gone after being used. He couldn't bear to waste it. It would be best if he could never use it.
Therefore, you need to prepare one or two other means to instantly escape a large distance, and then use the escape light to retreat calmly.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu disguised herself, hiding her cultivation until the early stage of foundation building, and went in and out of major shops to find suitable means.
In the end, after careful comparison, he spent 8,000 spiritual stones and purchased an "Escape Talisman" from Tianfu Pavilion that could move fifty miles very quickly.
Its escape speed is only slightly worse than that of thunder escape and wind escape.
Once this talisman is activated in an instant, it can move a distance of fifty miles in a designated direction at an extremely fast speed, which is extremely powerful for a monk in the foundation building stage.
Because the range of spiritual consciousness at the peak of foundation building is generally only ten miles away, beyond this range to escape from the lock of divine consciousness, it is naturally much easier to escape from danger.
However, if you face a golden elixir monk or a demonic elixir-level monster, the effect will be compromised, because the spiritual consciousness of a golden elixir monk or a monster beast starts at fifty miles, and if it is used at an inappropriate time, it cannot escape the lock of the divine consciousness.
After getting the Earth Escape Talisman, the number of spiritual stones in Liu Yu's storage bag dropped to 5,000 yuan. He wanted to buy powerful means, and he had enough money, and there were a lot of various consumables in the storage bag, so he returned.
Jade Pill Hall.
…
Three days pass in a snap of the fingers.
Three days later, at noon.
Liu Yu transformed into Hong Hao, still dressed as a Taoist in yellow robe, and came to Fengyu Tower.
Waving his hand to indicate that the waiter did not need to greet him, he walked slowly along the wooden stairs to the second floor. As he climbed up the stairs, his view gradually widened, and two figures came into view.
One is the old Taoist Qingsong who is wearing a green pine robe and has a black beard and looks like an immortal. The other is a male cultivator in black robe who is pale and cold and has a cold and arrogant temperament. He is wearing a black robe and is suspected of being a monk from the Yuling Sect.
The two of them sat opposite each other in silence, as if waiting for something.
"I'm so relieved that fellow Daoist Haha Hong can come."
"Fellow Taoist, please rest assured that what I said that day will not be even half false."
Seeing Liu Yu's arrival, the two of them turned their eyes, and Old Taoist Qingsong stood up and said hello with a smile.
As for the male cultivator in black robe, he still sat where he was and said nothing.
"I still can't let go of the thing in Fellow Taoist's hand. Hong has to come. I just hope that Fellow Taoist Qingsong will abide by his promise."
Liu Yu slightly cupped his hands and said helplessly.
He fully demonstrated the image of a monk who has some strength, but not too much strength, and seems to be a little forward-looking.
"Friend Hong Dao, please rest assured that the Taoist principle of conduct has always been to put integrity first."
"By the way, this is Fellow Daoist Canglancang, another helper invited by Pindao this time."
"Fellow Daoist Cang, this is Fellow Daoist Hong."
Old Taoist Qingsong seemed to be in a good mood when he saw Liu Yu's arrival. After repeated assurances, he began to give a brief introduction to the two helpers.
Canglan's reaction was mediocre, and she just nodded lightly to the introduction.
Seeing this, Liu Yu just bowed his hand and had no intention of making friends with him.
Because it is the instinct of monks to improve their cultivation level and realm, and to improve their cultivation level, it is indispensable to have the help of cultivation resources, and the process of searching for resources is often accompanied by killing and bloodshed, so the relationship between strange monks is often indifferent and hostile.
This is the norm in the world of immortality.
If an unrelated monk is overly enthusiastic about another monk, he may have good intentions, but it is more likely that he has other motives.
Since we are going to enter the branches of Venus together, of course we need to know each other's methods a little bit, not to mention cooperation, at least to avoid internal friction.
"Pindao mainly uses the Wuchen Sword..."
As the initiator, Qingsong Laodao first talked about his own methods.
"I am mainly controlling a kind of fire-attributed spiritual insect. Its attack is slightly better than the average top-grade magical weapon."
Canglan spoke coldly, as if his character was indifferent and paranoid. At this time, he still did not take off his hood.
"Hong's magical weapon is a metal long bow..."
Liu Yu followed the good example and briefly introduced his own methods.
After some understanding, he learned that Qingsong Lao Dao mainly used a top-grade magic weapon, the Flying Sword, while the black-robed male cultivator Cang Lan used a fire attribute spirit insect called "Flying Fire Firefly".
Just as he had only revealed a part of his strength, Liu Yu would not think that this was the real strength of the two of them, at most it was only the most superficial part.
"Originally, I thought that if fellow Taoist Hong didn't come, Pindao would have to find a way to ask another fellow Taoist to help. But now that fellow Taoist Hong is here, there's no need to do anything extra."
"Without further delay, if you two fellow Taoists have no objections, I will set off right away!"
After the introduction, Old Taoist Qingsong pointed at the stairs and said somewhat eagerly.
Liu Yu had already made preparations before arriving, so naturally he would not have any objections at this time, but Canglan arrived one step earlier than Liu Yu, and her attitude had already explained everything.
The two of them immediately stood up and walked towards the stairs.
"If you want to get the pill-forming spiritual object, you can't let go of the wealth of these two people."
"At that time, the real golden elixir can be expected!"
Behind the two of them, Old Taoist Qingsong also stood up and followed.
But greed flashed deep in his eyes, as if he had thought of a great prospect. The greed in his eyes turned into heat again, and he showed a secret smile silently, and then quickly disappeared.
The three monks with different thoughts walked out of the Fengyu Tower together and walked quickly towards the east gate of Fangshi. After leaving the east gate, they flew towards the branch of Venus with the escaping light.
Many Qi Refining monks who returned from their adventures in the mountains saw the three Foundation Establishment Seniors traveling and quickly turned aside and waited for the Foundation Establishment Seniors to fly away before continuing on.
Although Qingzhou explicitly prohibits killing people and seizing treasures, once they are discovered, they will be labeled as evil cultivators and be wanted.
But if you collide with a high-level monk, no one will think it's wrong.
This kind of thing happens every year in the world of immortal cultivation, and Yuanyang Sect will not take care of it.
In the twilight, Liu Yu glanced around, memorizing the nearby terrain.
Although I had bought a topographic map and memorized it in advance, it was still not as clear as seeing it with my own eyes.
The distance of dozens of miles was too short for the monks in the foundation building stage, and they had already crossed it in less than two quarters of an hour.
An endless mountain range came into the sight of the three people.
It is composed of tall peaks and various terrains, including virgin forests, wide lakes, stinky swamps, etc., as well as waterfalls, grasslands, valleys, basins, etc.
Above the tall ancient trees, there are some ferocious or beautiful birds flying by. Under different appearances are the same powerful forces. They have the same identity - monsters.
Except for the demonic birds flying in the sky, there are very few demonic beasts in grasslands, forests, swamps and other places.
Because with the continuous influx of human monks, the original pattern has been broken, and those monsters that are not vigilant, weak, and have obvious goals have long been eliminated.
The remaining monsters have already learned to hide and no longer show their whereabouts carelessly.
They may strike a fatal blow at an unexpected place at any time, but underneath the calm scene there is hidden murderous intent.
Even the monsters that are not hiding are on heightened alert and will react immediately to the slightest sign of trouble.
Three rays of light fell at the entrance to the mountain range, revealing the blue figures of Liu Yu and Qingsong Laodao.
There are golden elixir monks stationed at the entrance of the mountain. Follow this safe passage to enter the mountain. You need to pay a small number of spirit stones according to your cultivation level. In exchange, if the monk provokes a powerful monster in the mountain, he will get it as long as he escapes to the entrance.
shelter.
Even demonic beasts in the demon core stage will not pursue them when they reach the entrance, because the high-level humans and demons have already reached a certain tacit understanding.
After paying the spirit stones, the three of them gathered their breath and raised their vigilance and entered the mountains along the entrance. Each of them used wind control skills to run and jump through the mountains and forests.
Because the flying target of the weapon is too obvious, it can easily become the target of monsters, and the escape speed of human monks is generally slower than that of monster birds of the same level.
Therefore, even the stupidest monks in the branch of Venus do not dare to fly carelessly.
The Venus branch of the Hengduan Mountains is thousands of miles long, but after the monks' development and exploration, the first thirty miles are relatively safe.
"Fellow Daoist Qingsong has already entered the mountains, so we should finally tell you where the monsters are, right?"
"It's also good for Hong and fellow Taoist Cang to be mentally prepared."
"You don't want to go too deep into the mountains, right?"
While running, Liu Yu suddenly stopped and asked calmly.
Cang Lan also paused when he heard this and looked towards Qingsong Old Way.
"Why should you two fellow Taoists be impatient? There are golden elixir-level demonic beasts lurking deep in the mountains. How can I, a poor Taoist, go and die?"
"Otherwise, since we are already here, Pindao would not hide anything from these two fellow Taoists."
"The place Pindao mentioned this time is..."
Old Taoist Qingsong knew that reaching this point, it would be unreasonable to be secretive, so he stopped and let go of his spiritual consciousness to scan the surroundings, while his lips moved and sent out a spiritual sound transmission.
What the old Taoist learned is that the place where the elixir-forming spiritual object exists is located in a cold pool 480 miles away from the entrance. There is a second-level peak ice-water attribute "Yinming Spirit Snake".
The body of this snake demon is so hard that even attacks from top-quality magical weapons will not cause any pain or itching on the body and will not cause serious injuries.
Moreover, several innate spells have reached the second level of high-grade, which is not weaker than the Golden Wind Dispersion Technique, Black Bird Flame Technique, etc. If you are fighting in the cold pool, your magical power will be increased by three points.
"Four hundred and eighty miles deep? That's already very close to the depths."
Cang Lan took off his hood at this time, revealing a pale and cold face without a trace of blood, he frowned slightly.
"The things that fellow Taoist Qingsong needs are in the cold pool?"
Liu Yu held her chin in one hand and asked with a serious expression.
Then I got a positive answer.
"The second-level peak monster Yinming Spirit Snake is still in the cold pool."
