Chapter 287: Spirit Snake Xiaoqing (two in one chapter)
Is there any reason that can stop a man from running towards the sea?
Is there any reason to prevent a monk from making vigorous progress on the path?
"Forget it, since you have made the decision, go to the bloody secret realm to take a chance."
"Liu cannot stop it by force."
After looking at Geng Yunsong seriously for a while, Liu Yu saw that he still insisted on his opinion, so Liu Yu did not continue to enlighten him.
After all, this son is not related to me, and letting him live in Cailian Mountain is only based on the original agreement with Geng Yuanzhang. This son is not his descendant or disciple. Since he has made a decision, there is no need to forcefully change it.
With his qualifications, if he continues to practice in Cailian Mountain, there is really no possibility of building a foundation. Continuing like this is tantamount to erasing the future.
"This Yin Lei is so powerful that even a monk in the early stages of foundation building may die if he is careless. You should use it for self-defense."
"There are also these two magic weapons. You can also use them to increase your self-protection."
With that said, Liu Yu took out three items and put them on the table, and said calmly.
The three items are a black round bead, a three-inch sword and a small shield. Both the sword and the shield are top-grade magic weapons.
"Thank you Uncle Liu for the reward!"
"Uncle Master, I will never forget Yun Song's great kindness and kindness in this lifetime!"
Geng Yun said respectfully, his face still a little uneasy, but the joy in his eyes could not be suppressed.
The reason why he came to see Liu Yu this time was to get some support so as to increase his ability to protect himself.
Now that I have achieved my wish, I am very excited, and even my confidence in breaking into the bloody secret realm has increased a lot.
Seeing this boy's respectful, nervous and excited expression, and listening to the respectful words in his ears, Liu Yu suddenly felt his spirits waning.
He had heard such words too many times after establishing the foundation, and he was already a little tired of them.
"After entering the bloody secret realm, you must not underestimate the enemy and rush in."
"Back off."
With a symbolic warning and a wave of his hand, Liu Yu dismissed him.
"Yes, uncle, the disciple is going down!"
Geng Yunsong bowed respectfully and then walked out.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but his steps seemed to be much lighter.
Looking at the boy's back, Liu Yu's eyes became deep.
For most ordinary monks, no matter whether they work bravely and diligently or work steadily, it is very difficult to take a step forward.
A shallow pool cannot raise a dragon that soars through the sky.
Ordinaryness and mediocrity are their main themes, and counterattacks are only a very rare phenomenon, which may be called a miracle.
Liu Yuzengjin was also one of them. If there was no immortal mansion, he might have made the same choice.
There is still a glimmer of hope if you give it a try, but if you don't fight and fight, there will be only eternal darkness, and there will never be a miracle.
Without Echo Valley, is it worth the jump?
If you are on the right path, you will have no regrets even if you die.
Geng Yunsong has the legacy left by Geng Yuanzhang, and he has given him two magic weapons, one for attack and one for defense, so it will not be a problem to pass the sect selection.
As for whether he can gain something in the secret realm and finally come out with the harvest, it depends on his luck.
Shaking her head, Liu Yu put these distracting thoughts aside and took the "Secret Records of Beast Control" that had been written into a book and slowly read through it.
An hour later, the spiritual energy in the cave suddenly fluctuated slightly and became slightly chaotic.
"Could it be...?"
Liu Yu's heart moved, and she took out the token of the Wutu Bluestone Formation from her storage bag, opened a small gap in Ji Ruyan's room, and then penetrated it with her spiritual consciousness.
In the "boudoir" that was mainly red and pink, a girl with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye was sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating and practicing Qi.
Ji Ruyan seemed to be at the critical moment of breakthrough. Her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. The spiritual pressure on her body was also rising steadily, and she was about to pass the eighth level of Qi refining.
Liu Yu kept a ray of consciousness to spy on him and did not interrupt rashly.
At the critical moment when a monk makes a breakthrough in his cultivation, if he is distracted by external interference, it is likely to result in a failure of his achievements and a great loss in his cultivation.
The purpose of his spiritual awareness was not to satisfy some "weird" fetishes, but to protect this woman. If any accident happened, he could rescue her in time to avoid serious injury or serious damage to her cultivation.
On the road to cultivating immortality, not only do you have to face external threats, but the cultivation itself also involves considerable dangers.
At this glance, two hours have passed.
At a certain moment, Ji Ruyan's spiritual pressure increased, truly reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining. Then his expression relaxed a lot and his breath began to stabilize.
When Liu Yu saw this, he closed the formation and quietly withdrew his consciousness.
Having reached the ninth level of Qi refining, you are already qualified to attack the bottleneck of foundation building. This was the case for you at the beginning. Before you reached the level of Qi refining, you directly attacked the bottleneck.
However, he did not intend to let Ji Ruyan be like this. He would first take the dragon blood fruit, then practice until the Qi refining was complete, and finally hit the bottleneck, which was safer.
As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, it’s time to prepare it now.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu put away the secret record of beast control, issued a transmission note, and then left the cave to control the escape light and flew towards Qingyun Peak where the sect's main hall was located.
With his current cultivation level in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, it was easy to spend some spiritual stones to collect the sect's contribution in exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill. This step had been completed long ago after returning to the sect for a few months.
The Yuanyang Sect has regulations that the foundation-building pills exchanged from the sect can only be used by the sect's disciples and cannot be traded to forces or monks outside the sect.
But after thousands of years, this rule has become ineffective, but it also has a lot of room for manipulation.
For example, borrowing the name of a sect disciple, exchanging the foundation building pill, then making some disguises, and then claiming that the foundation building failed, etc.
In this way, the Foundation Establishment Pill can be transferred without anyone noticing.
As long as no major problems arise, the sect will turn a blind eye.
After all, even for a Foundation Establishment monk, it is extremely difficult to obtain another Foundation Establishment Pill from the sect, and it is impossible for the Foundation Establishment Pill to be leaked out in large quantities.
But Liu Yu was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment monk and a second-level alchemist. He was still eyeing the title of "Elder Disciple" and used his connections in the sect to get a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Find an inner disciple, transfer a large number of contribution points, and then take this person to Qingyun Peak to exchange for the Foundation Building Pill with the leader Zhuang Ziling.
Everything went surprisingly smoothly and there were no setbacks.
The leader, Zhuang Ziling, knew that there might be something fishy in this. If he were an ordinary foundation-building monk, he would have to conduct a thorough investigation. It would be impossible to redeem the foundation-building pill.
But Liu Yu is no longer what he used to be. His cultivation has reached the middle stage of foundation building, and he is also the disciple of Elder Jin Dan. He only has a foundation building pill, so he just turns a blind eye and pretends not to know.
Of course, if Liu Yu was too greedy and wanted to obtain a second Foundation Establishment Pill through a similar method, it would be basically impossible.
If you are too greedy, the title of "Elders' Disciple" will not be useful.
After successfully obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, Liu Yu gave some benefits to the inner disciple who was doing the work, then beat him to stop saying what he shouldn't, and then drove the magic weapon back to Cailian Mountain.
Most of a day after going out, when the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, Liu Yu returned to the cave.
Ji Ruyan was not seen in the hall. This woman had just broken through in cultivation. It should take two or three days to stabilize her state before she could end the retreat.
Liu Yu entered the practice room, swallowed the elixir to activate the practice, and began to meditate every day to refine his energy and consciousness.
Unless circumstances did not allow it, he would do this every day for ten years and he would never slack off.
Two days later, Ji Ruyan came out of seclusion and told Liu Yu that she had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Liu Yu acted as overjoyed as if she had just learned about it. He praised the woman on the spot and gave her three dragon blood fruits to take one every month.
Too much is not enough. Taking three Dragon Blood Fruits during the Qi Refining Stage can already activate Qi and blood and greatly strengthen the physical body. If there are any more, the physical body may not be able to bear it. After all, the "essence" of the Qi Refining Stage monks is too low.
Therefore, three pills is the optimal amount for monks to take during the Qi refining period.
In this way, the cultivation of both of them was steadily improving, and two months passed by in a flash.
…
Two months later, Liu Yu was lying leisurely on the Taishi's chair, reading the book of Baicao Dan in his hand, frowning and thinking carefully from time to time.
I have almost understood the Green Bamboo Alchemy Sutra, and I have also mastered the alchemy techniques recorded in it. Naturally, I don’t need to read it frequently.
But even from Liu Yu's current perspective, there are still many puzzlings about the principles of some of the experimental contents in the Baicao Dan book.
You need to record the things you don’t understand and go to the Sutra Pavilion or communicate with colleagues to find answers.
Today is the day when the Bloody Secret Realm opens, and the sect team set out yesterday.
Not surprisingly, the ten selected outer disciples all passed the selection, and Geng Yunsong also passed the selection.
The sect did not issue an order for Liu Yu to escort him, so he did not need to go. The elder who led the team was not a cheap man, Master Li Changkong, so he did not need to be arrested.
"I hope these ten people will not disappoint me."
Liu Yu thought silently.
Don’t worry if your investment is in vain, the most important thing is the seeds of the spiritual grass and elixir, which are related to the refining of the golden elixir.
Suddenly, through the connection between master and servant, Liu Yu felt movement coming from the spirit beast egg.
It seems that he is about to be born?
The connection between the master and servant contract is quite special. After all, the Wutu Bluestone Formation is only a defensive formation. Even if there is a formation to block it, the connection cannot be cut off.
Liu Yu stood up, opened the formation, and walked into the spirit beast room.
It was cold, humid, and slightly chilly, and there were tiny ice crystals on the walls.
At this time, the appearance of the spirit beast room changed drastically, and it was almost the same as the cave under the cold pool where the Yinming spirit snake lived.
It was still the nest made of hay, with two gray-black spirit beast eggs lying quietly on it, one with more blue lines on the surface, the other with fewer.
The blue lines of one are still bright, while the other has dimmed.
At this time, there is only one connection left between the mind and the soul, and one of them has disappeared permanently.
Liu Yu looked at the spirit beast egg with fewer blue lines on the right. It was still the same as before, with no obvious changes. However, his keen spiritual sense could sense that there was no breath of life in the egg at this time.
This has become a dead egg.
The other spirit beast egg had a stronger vitality. Liu Yu stepped forward and stretched out his palm, gently touching the slightly rough eggshell.
The spirit beast egg trembled slightly, as if welcoming its owner.
Through the connection of the master-servant contract, it can be clearly sensed that the consciousness in the spirit beast egg is no longer ignorant, and seems to have "awakened" and become active, and is emitting close emotions.
Liu Yu smiled slightly and calmed the little guy's emotions through contact.
At this time, he had already determined that today was the day this little guy was born.
It is best to complete the birth and transformation of a monster by yourself, otherwise it may affect its later development potential and be detrimental to the growth of the monster.
Although opening the eggshell would allow the baby to be born smoothly, Liu Yu would certainly not do such a thing that would encourage the child to thrive.
Take two steps back, pass on the message of encouragement, and let the little one work hard to break free from the protection and restraint of the eggshell.
The little guy inside understood what Liu Yu meant, and immediately began to struggle, trying to break the eggshell.
Visible to the naked eye, the spirit beast's egg trembled greatly and started to shake.
The little guy, whose body and soul were basically fully developed, was banging hard against it.
"Bang, bang"
There were gentle sounds coming from the spirit beast egg.
Liu Yu watched quietly without any intention of taking action.
A monster that needs assistance even for its birth has no value in cultivating it, and he has no habit of raising waste.
"Bang" "Bang"
Rest when you are tired, and continue when you recover. The tenacious creature hits the eggshell hard and has no intention of giving up.
"Click"
After a crisp sound, a small crack appeared on the gray-black eggshell.
Light shone through this gap.
The little guy was already very tired, but he was immediately encouraged when he saw this, and mustered up the remaining strength to continue pushing against the crack.
The cracks grew larger and larger, gradually spreading to the entire eggshell.
"Click"
A slightly louder sound sounded in the room, the crack in the eggshell suddenly expanded a lot, and a small head came out of the crack.
Yinming Spirit Snake!
It's just that the color of the little guy is a little different from its mother's. Most of the skin is cyan, and only a small part is black. It's almost two different appearances.
If it weren't for the same blue line pattern, Liu Yu would have suspected that it was born from the Yinming Spirit Snake from time to time.
"Click"
There was another crisp sound, and the eggshell cracked in half and completely shattered.
This little guy finally broke free and was truly "born".
The first time the little guy came out, he saw Liu Yu and crawled towards him without hesitation.
There was a master-servant contract, and Liu Yu didn't feel strange or anything else at all. He stretched out his palm to put it on his own, and looked at the little guy carefully.
It is still relatively petite now, with a body length of about seven inches and a thickness about the size of an adult's thumb.
The skin is green on top and black on the bottom, the two colors are mixed, with cyan occupying seven tenths and black only occupying three tenths. There are still familiar blue lines on the surface.
When he was born, his aura was almost at the peak of the first-order low-grade, which corresponded to the third level of human monks' Qi refining. It would not take long for him to grow to the first-order mid-grade.
"good."
"Little guy, from now on you will be called Xiaoqing."
