Liu Yu flashed countless thoughts like a wild horse, picked up the "Alchemy Notes", and continued to review the past and learn new things.
Sharpening the knife is as good as chopping wood. Even if you want to improve your alchemy skills, don't rush it for a while.
And now that you have just made a breakthrough, it is not advisable to take pills immediately to improve yourself quickly. Just practice normally to stabilize your cultivation.
…
The next day.
The great sun rises from the east, casting thousands of rays of light into the sky and the earth.
As soon as Chen Shi arrived, huge noises came from Yongtaifang City.
Under the arrangements of Jiang Qiushui and Leng Yuexin, more than 600 Qi Refining Stage monks have gathered in the square.
Although it is not to the level of prohibition, after several months of rest and training, there is still no problem with the orderly formation and solemn military appearance.
The monks in the square held their heads high, but the place was silent.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Junior Sister Leng."
Liu Yu observed carefully for a while, scanning the dozens of monk teams arrayed, he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and opened his mouth to express his approval.
Since Cui Liang died and Yan Kai left, Leng Yuexin took over the training of Qi Refining monks.
"It's my duty. Senior Brother Qingyang's praise is something Yue Xin cannot bear."
Leng Yuexin cupped her hands and said modestly.
But the faint smile on her face still showed her thoughts.
"Junior sister Jiang, is everything ready?"
"Have all the arrangements been made for the defense in Yongtaifang City?"
Liu Yu did not continue to praise Leng Yuexin to prevent him from being too proud. Instead, he changed the topic and asked Jiang Qiushui on his left.
"Come back, senior brother, everything has been arranged."
Jiang Qiushui replied neatly.
In front of many monks, she showed a clean and tidy style, and she did not look like the well-behaved daughter she was in private.
The arrangements have been made long ago, and now it is just a routine inquiry.
"Um."
"In this case, we will set off immediately!"
Liu Yu nodded lightly.
As he finished speaking, he touched the storage bag with his left hand, and Gui Yuanzhou immediately appeared in his hand.
Inject mana and throw it into the air.
The palm-sized red boat quickly grew in size. After a while, it swelled to a size of fifty or sixty feet and floated quietly in the air.
board the boat, enter the cabin
After a while, all the monks had boarded the Guiyuan Boat, and under the arrangement of Jiang Qiushui, all the monks in the Qi Refining Stage entered the cabin.
There were only seventeen foundation-building monks left on the deck.
After everything was arranged, Liu Yu took out several spells with both hands and hit them on the control token.
The five to sixty-foot red flying boat immediately vibrated and flew towards the general direction of Xianque City.
Facing the early sunlight, Liu Yu stood with his hands behind his back. Behind him stood his fellow disciples, vassals of the sect, and monks from the Yan Kingdom, etc. who were building the foundation.
The expressions on the faces of these monks were different, but because they were not told that the final battle was about to begin, the mood of these monks was generally quite positive.
After all, this long-lasting war in the world of immortality has reached this point, and the situation has become very obvious.
Unless good and evil break through the blockade and intervene, the defeat of the four sects of the Yan Kingdom is a foregone conclusion.
At this time, Baiyun Temple's prestige was completely gone. It is no exaggeration to say that the tree fell and the hozen scattered.
With the fall of Xianque City, this trend became more and more obvious.
At this time, in the second half of the thousand-mile distance from Yongtaifang City to Xianque City, how can the various forces along the way still have fighting spirit?
During the few months when Liu Yu was "standing still" in Yongtaifang City, he received dozens of "letters asking for surrender", all from forces large and small in the latter half of the period.
There are abundant resources for cultivating immortals thousands of miles around Xianque City, and it is also close to the mountain gate of Baiyun Temple. If you want to establish power here, you must have some connections in Baiyun Temple.
But seeing that the building was about to collapse, they couldn't wait to change the entrance hall.
For the continuation of the family and for the continuity of inheritance, their reasons are various.
He prepared a rich "gift", found a high-sounding reason, and sent monks to ask for surrender.
Liu Yu did not accept all the forces that asked for surrender, but accepted some and rejected them.
"Sincerity" is enough, and there is no deep entanglement with Baiyun Temple.
As for those who are too entangled with Baiyun Temple, such as the Bai family in Fenghuang Mountain, and will have endless troubles if they stay, they choose to plow the courtyard and sweep the holes once and for all.
And those who have too little "sincerity" are ignorant.
At this time, it is purely a fantasy to want to change the family without spending a lot of money.
Combining the interests of the sect and the needs of the team itself, Liu Yu decided to operate on some of the monks without much thought.
Win over some people and suppress some people.
After such operations, the thousand-mile distance in the second half of Xianque City cannot be determined by handing over, but it is not much different.
For various reasons, the thousand-mile journey ahead will be much easier than the previous two years.
Therefore, the monks in the team are all gearing up, intending to take this opportunity to perform well and get a share of the pie.
Guiyuanzhou left the Yongtaifang City area and traveled about thirty miles before stopping and slowly descending, suspended in the air twenty feet above the ground.
Next to a large river with green water and lush aquatic plants, there are large buildings.
In the open space in front of the building, there were already more than a hundred monks waiting for a long time.
The cultivation levels of these more than a hundred monks vary widely, ranging from those at the first level of Qi Refining to those in the middle stage of Foundation Building.
The first two people are both foundation-building monks.
They all come from the same family - the Bibohe Lu family.
"Bibohe Lu family, Lu Tianci, together with one hundred and thirty-three monks from the family, respect the righteous master of the alliance!"
"Greetings to fellow Taoist Qingyang!"
"Respect the righteous master of the Alliance!"
In the open space, as Lu Tianci spoke, everyone in the Lu family said the same words in unison.
The sound spread neatly and resounded on both sides of the Bibo River.
"Did fellow Taoists see it?"
"This is what people want."
"We are the "teachers of justice" to fight against Yan's rebellion. Naturally, it is the general trend of the times and the will of the people."
Liu Yu smiled faintly and said this to the foundation-building monks beside him, which sounded like he was giving guidance to the country.
"That's right."
"exactly."
No matter what they felt in their hearts, all the foundation builders responded accordingly.
Especially the monks who later took refuge in the Yan Kingdom were the most active.
Trying to completely wash away the imprint of the past in this way.
When there was no response from Liu Yu and his party, the place was silent for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Lu."
"I am very relieved that the Lu family can wake up and correct their evil ways in time."
Liu Yu glanced at the Lu family monks in the open space, suddenly showed a smile and spoke.
Saying these words was regarded as accepting the Lu family's "invitation to surrender", and the solemn atmosphere was in vain.
The head of the Lu family, Lu Tianci, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this test was over.
Although the Lu family is backed by the Bibo River and has relatively rich resources for cultivating immortals, there are only two foundation-building monks in the clan.
In this situation, how can we resist the "teacher of justice"?
If you come out undefended to greet someone, if you don't handle it properly, it may lead to a catastrophe of genocide!
"Fellow Taoists have come all the way, and must have been exhausted by traveling and traveling. The Lu family has already prepared spiritual wine, and we invite you fellow Taoists to come in and have a seat!"
Lu Tianci spoke.
His posture was extremely humble, and it would be no exaggeration to say he was groveling.
With the Lu family's unilateral flattery, "harmony" naturally followed.
The benefits have been collected in advance, and how much of the benefits the Lu family needs to give up has been determined.
In the absence of any extraordinary actions, Liu Yu had no intention of making any moves and did not embarrass the Lu family.
He declined Lu Tianci's offer of hospitality and followed the previous rules to plant "spirit-locking restrictions" on the two foundation-building monks.
This has always been the rule of Liu Yu's team. Since they are ready to surrender, the Lu family naturally knows this and can accept it.
A foundation-building monk was transferred from the Lu family, as well as thirty "elites" who were in the middle stage of Qi refining.
After staying at Bibo River for about two-quarters of an hour, with the help of Jiang Qiushui, Leng Yuexin and others, everything was quickly arranged.
Since then, Bibo River has been under the name of Yuanyang Sect.
"Rumble"
The huge Guiyuan boat shook and headed towards the rising sun again, embarking on an unknown journey.
…
It did not go beyond Liu Yu's expectations, and the next thousand-mile journey went as smoothly as expected.
After all, compared to Baiyun Temple's "benefit" for thousands of years, one's own bloodline and inheritance are more important.
From this point on, it becomes clear how to choose.
The forces along the way have all heard about Liu Yu's "Declaration of Crusade" issued at Phoenix Mountain, and also heard about the reputation of Qingyang Old Demon for destroying families and annihilating clans.
Therefore, most families and forces have no intention of shedding their last drop of blood for Baiyun Temple.
Wherever the Guiyuan boat passed, all the forces, big and small, were waiting for the wind to descend, fearing that if they were too late, they would see blood and cause a huge disaster.
Liu Yu mostly dealt with these forces who understood the situation leniently.
Of course, one moment is another, and under the current situation, "submission" cannot retain all of its resource points and industries, and must give up some of them.
However, the smart family contacted the team early and "voluntarily surrendered."
Instead of waiting until the troops reach the city before surrendering, you can keep everything.
Of course, when a building is about to collapse, there will still be a few foolish and loyal people, and the Baiyun Temple, a behemoth that is about to collapse, is no exception.
There were also a few "stubborn" forces who chose to resist to the end, and in the end, everyone in the clan was bloodbathed.
Although his spirit towards these thoroughly hostile forces was commendable, Liu Yu had no respect for them.
It will not be like in some bloody scenes, where the enemy cultivators are finally let go because of the so-called respect for letting the tiger return to the mountain.
There is no such thing as "being kind".
For seven consecutive days, the team started from Yongtaifang City and advanced a full three hundred miles toward Xianque City. It was smoother than at any time in the past two years and encountered almost no decent resistance.
Even with the strength of a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk, he still chose to surrender and did not dare to stand on the side of Baiyun Temple at this time.
During this period of time, news continued to come from Xianque City.
After the victory of Xianque City, the main force of the sect took a short rest and then continued to approach the Baiyun Temple Gate.
Xianque City is the strongest barrier in the north of Baiyun Temple. After this city is no longer defendable, it can only retreat steadily.
According to the latest news, the main force of the sect has approached within two hundred miles of the Baiyun Temple Gate. This distance can be said to be very close.
Originally, Liu Yu wanted to push forward slowly to see if he could avoid the final decisive battle, but seven days later, a special envoy sent by the sect completely shattered his delusions.
"Junior Brother Qingyang, I have conveyed the sect's order to you."
"I hope you will arrive as scheduled. Don't be afraid of shrinking back and live up to the sect's high expectations."
"Otherwise, the rules are ruthless."
On the Guiyuan boat, Zhou Zhuofeng, wearing a white robe with fluttering robes, said with a serious expression.
"Liu is already aware of the sect's order and will strictly implement it as required."
"Senior Brother Zhou has come all the way, why don't we come in and talk about it?"
"You and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so we just take this opportunity to catch up on old times."
Liu Yu cupped her hands and said with a smile.
Strength is the confidence to speak for oneself. Now that he has reached the later stage of foundation building, his strength has greatly increased. Facing his classmates who he used to look up to, he can now deal with them calmly and calmly.
Relying on his keen spiritual sense, he was able to clearly detect Zhou Zhuofeng's peak foundation-building state, and his aura was very stable.
He must have stayed there for quite some time, preparing to hit the golden elixir bottleneck.
Ranked among the "Three Heroes and Four Heroes" and receiving key training from the sect, the chance of forming an elixir is much higher than that of other monks, but it is not 100% successful.
Judging from the past situation, if three of the seven people can form a pill, it is considered good.
"Although I really want to have a long talk with Junior Brother Qingyang, Zhou has a sect mission and has to inform Junior Sister Li. Junior Brother Ma and others really can't get away."
"If we change the time, I will definitely come as promised."
After talking about business, Zhou Zhuofeng also said politely with a smile.
Junior Brother Liu is no longer what he used to be. Not only is he a disciple of Uncle Changkong, he has also gained a great reputation.
Even if he is ranked among the "Three Heroes and Four Heroes", it is not easy to rely on him.
"Senior Brother Zhou has a sect mission, Liu can understand."
"In this case, senior brother will not be retained."
As he said that, Liu Yu cupped his hands.
"Farewell."
Zhou Zhuofeng returned the favor, then drove a purple spiritual weapon flying sword, turned into a ray of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"What is supposed to come will come, and there is no way to escape it after all."
"Even though we have reached the late stage of foundation building, looking at the sect, the Nine Nations Alliance and even Tiannan are still just pawns on the chessboard."
“I don’t know when I will be truly free and free.”
"Golden elixir stage? Nascent Soul stage?"
Looking at the direction where the purple light disappeared, Liu Yu's smile faded and she felt slightly emotional.
According to the order brought by Zhou Zhuofeng, the sect agreed with Cangyue Valley and Hehuan Sect to launch a general attack on Baiyun Guanshan Gate in one month.
Now the three major sects have begun to gather forces from all parties, recruit and arrange local monks from the Yan Kingdom, and prepare for the war in January.
Liu Yu, Li Buyu and other twelve dispatched Qingfeng squads must also complete the tasks assigned by the sect regardless of the cost and subdue the large and small forces along the way.
Before the January deadline comes, bring all the monks in the team and join the main force of the sect to wait for dispatch.
The wording of the sect's order this time is very strict. Anyone who disobeys the order will be directly expelled from the sect and will not accept any reason to refute it.
On the deck, Liu Yu thought for a while.
Then Jiang Qiushui and Leng Yuexin were called to discuss and control Gui Yuanzhou to speed up.
