Chapter 653 Letter from Spring: Wonders of Heaven and Earth
…
After going to several stores that he had visited in advance and getting the spiritual herbs that he had ordered in advance, Liu Yu rushed straight to his temporary residence.
"Relying on the rich resources of Shenjing City and spending a lot of spiritual stones, it is going smoothly so far."
"It won't take long to collect all the spiritual herbs and elixirs for refining Yuan Yuan Dan and Qing Ming Dan."
"It's just that the "Soul Condensation Pill" is still a bit difficult to handle. Even in Shenjing City, the collection progress is not as fast as expected."
"It seems that no matter where they are, spiritual objects that can directly affect the soul and consciousness are extremely precious and rarely circulated on the market."
Thinking like this, no matter how prosperous the fairy city was, he blended into the crowd in a low-key manner and kept rushing towards the cave.
"Rumble"
The formation opened, making an extremely subtle sound, and Liu Yu strode into it.
With a sweep of his consciousness, he found that Zhuo Mengzhen and Zhang Yi were both practicing in the room, so they also entered the practice room.
Ever since she got her status, Zhuo Mengzhen has completely settled down and quickly adapted to her new identity and played her role well.
Although she is already his concubine, with the precedents of Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan, Liu Yu will not let this woman get resources in vain.
They must pay through labor before they can obtain elixirs, spiritual stones and other resources from him.
For example, handle some trivial matters for him, inquire about information, sell pills, etc.
Being able to master various arts of cultivating immortals such as "formation", although the second-level formation master's income is not high, it is more or less.
In addition, some resources can be obtained from Liu Yu, so Zhuo Mengzhen's current training conditions are still much better than before.
At least every half month, she can take a cultivation elixir. Moreover, this woman can enjoy the "internal price" when purchasing the elixir directly from Liu Yu.
The number of spiritual stones in Liu Yu's storage ring has also been growing steadily in the past period of time, reaching as many as 700,000!
Even though purchasing various spiritual herbs requires a lot of spiritual stones, the profit from the third-level spiritual elixir is still too great.
For example, the market price of the "Essence Pill" taken in the middle stage of the golden elixir is generally 16,000 spirit stones per bottle, and the cost of each refining spirit material is about 5,000 spirit stones according to the market price.
In other words, the success rate must be at least close to 30% to ensure no loss, and it must exceed 30% to recover the capital.
However, Liu Yu uses the Immortal Mansion to refine the spiritual grass, and the cost of each refined spiritual material is generally controlled at about one thousand and six spiritual stones, which is less than one-third of the former.
In other words, as long as the success rate exceeds 10% and one out of ten spiritual materials is successful, you will never lose money.
Relying on the unique advantages of the Immortal Palace, Liu Yu accumulated a lot of experience early on and became an "alchemy master". The success rate of refining the third-level mid-grade "Purple Yuan Dan" has reached a stable 40%.
Therefore, the initial success rate of refining the third-level mid-grade elixir "Jinghua Dan" will not be too low. It exceeds 10% at the beginning, and you will definitely not lose money.
Later, he obtained the "Green Pill Cauldron", and the success rate steadily exceeded 30%, and he could make huge profits every time he refined it.
In this way, no matter how much the cost of purchasing spiritual herbs is, if they offset each other, there will still be a considerable profit.
Even if the quantity of elixirs flowing out is strictly controlled, there are still more and more spiritual stones in the storage ring.
In this case, practicing low-key is of course the best choice.
Refining third-level elixirs requires the use of at least one five-hundred-year-old spiritual grass, and older spiritual grasses have become increasingly scarce as cultivators have exhausted their resources.
Even in the resource-rich Central Region, it is not as common as imagined. Generally, only large sects with orderly inheritance can produce more stably every ten years.
Therefore, as a third-level elixir, there is no need to worry about lack of sales.
As for high-quality elixirs that can save a lot of practice time, such as "Jinghua Dan" and "Qingming Dan", the supply exceeds demand. After all, the number of golden elixir monks in the Central Region far exceeds that of Tiannan.
Any shop is very happy to buy third-level elixirs, and the price is not too low, but you need to be careful.
Liu Yu knew very well that the Immortal Mansion was his greatest support. As long as he did not encounter bottlenecks, time would always be on his side.
So I rarely make some particularly radical choices.
After the official announcement of Zhuo Meng's true identity, the clever Zhang Yi quickly changed his tune and called out "Master's Wife" openly and openly, no longer being secretive.
In this way, the days of practicing in the Zhang family's residence were generally quite pleasant.
"The medicinal power of Jinghua Dan is even better than imagined."
"Perhaps it won't take forty years to reach the peak of the golden elixir in the middle stage."
In the practice room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged on the futon, feeling the increasingly full mana in her Dantian, with a smile on her face.
After the quality of the elixir was slightly improved, the apprenticeship ceremony given by Zhang Tao was even better than expected.
As long as the effect of the elixir does not decay too quickly in the future, it may not take forty years to reach the peak of the golden elixir in the middle stage.
"It is barely of the quality of a ninth-grade golden elixir. In addition, in terms of body refining, it has already reached the late stage of the third level. I shouldn't encounter any bottleneck when I break through to the late stage of the golden elixir, right?"
"There are currently no signs of bottlenecks. The odds are about 50-50."
"After condensing the golden elixir, I have been practicing until now without encountering any bottlenecks."
"The advantages of high-quality golden elixir are not only reflected in strength."
"In terms of cultivation speed and breaking through bottlenecks, compared with low-quality golden elixirs, the advantages are very obvious."
"To a certain extent, it is more important than spiritual roots."
Recalling some of his fellow sect members who were stuck in bottlenecks and had no hope of breaking through, after thinking carefully for a while, this thought flashed through Liu Yu's mind.
Immediately, he took out an "Essence Pill" and swallowed it, closed his eyes and started practicing "Qingyang Gong".
…
"Fellow Taoist from Ancient City, how are you doing lately?"
"I haven't seen you for one day like three autumns, and I haven't seen you for two years. I guess my Taoist friend must have made great progress in his cultivation."
"The purpose of sending this summons is to tell fellow Taoists an important piece of news."
"Just an hour ago, a shocking incident occurred in the six Annan continents!"
"Under the call of the Fire Phoenix Clan, the Monster Clan launched the most violent counterattack in several years, and several of the Demon Clan's transformed gods went straight to the Lingwu City camp."
"At the critical moment, the god-transformation monks sent by Qianting disappeared mysteriously. The Zhang family's god-transformation ancestors were left alone, and the Lingzhou immortal cultivator coalition collapsed thousands of miles away."
"Many monks have witnessed it with their own eyes, and the action of that battle was like the end of the world!"
"Even though we are one continent away, we can still see the huge movement in the direction of Lingzhou with our naked eyes, causing abnormal flow of spiritual energy in several surrounding continents."
"It is rumored that at that time, the entire sky in Lingzhou turned into the color of flames, as if a sea of fire fell from the sky to burn out the life of the entire Lingzhou."
"At that time, the activity of other attributes of spiritual energy was suppressed to the minimum."
"The Fire Phoenix Clan is suspected of using the wonder of heaven and earth - the Nirvana Sea of Fire."
"After this battle, the Zhang family's ancestor disappeared mysteriously. It is suspected that something happened and was killed by the "Nirvana Sea of Fire"!"
It was still a familiar opening, but after a few words, Guo Poyun's tone suddenly changed.
He became extremely serious, without any hint of joking.
The so-called "wonders of heaven and earth" are an extremely special product. Not only can they continuously produce rare high-level resources, but the wonders themselves also have rules.
In terms of power, the wonders of heaven and earth are comparable to the "spiritual treasures" of immortal cultivators.
After reaching the fourth level, the advantages of the spirit demon bloodline are almost exhausted.
It is very difficult to rely on bloodline to fight across ranks again, even for top bloodline like the Fire Phoenix Clan.
And there is no "true spirit bloodline" in this world. The reason why the demon clan can stand shoulder to shoulder with the human race is precisely because they have the "wonders of heaven and earth" that can compete with the spiritual treasures.
Like spiritual treasures, wonders also have incomplete and incomplete "power of rules", which are essentially different from ordinary magical treasures and real treasures.
The power is generally at the same level, but spiritual treasures and wonders are two completely different things.
The former has "spirituality", but it is still a weapon in essence, and its rules are also very simple.
It is often a certain part of a certain rule under the Three Thousand Rules, such as the "burning", "blazing", "high temperature" and other rule fragments of the flame rule.
The latter does not have "spirituality" and is not a weapon in nature. Legend has it that it was a product that was accidentally born when the world first opened.
Compared with Lingbao, wonders have more rules and may contain multiple rule fragments at the same time, or even rule fragments with different attributes.
For example, there are flame rules such as "burning", "blazing", "high temperature", etc.
However, since it has no spirituality, the power it exerts is roughly equivalent to that of a spiritual treasure. If it is also held by a being at the peak of becoming a god, no one can do anything to anyone.
The strongest weapon of the human race is "Ling Bao", and the strongest weapon of the demon race is "Wonder"!
The birth of both requires a "miracle".
It is precisely because of the balance between these two strongest combat powers that no one can do anything to the other for millions of years since ancient times.
"Nirvana Sea of Fire?!"
"I have long heard that the Fire Phoenix Clan possesses wonders of heaven and earth. Is this the name of their wonders?!"
After reading the message, Liu Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and a bit of shock flashed in his eyes.
According to Guo Poyun's vivid description, he could fully imagine the scene at that time.
A dark red sea of fire suddenly appeared, covering the entire Lingzhou. The temperature of the space rose sharply, and ordinary creatures died in a breath or two.
The vegetation within a continent will wither and turn to ashes in an instant, and the land thousands of miles away will turn into scorched earth.
The fire attribute aura becomes active, and the activity of other attribute auras decreases to a minimum.
The huge movement, even from a continent away, can be observed by many monks with their naked eyes.
In the face of this kind of "doomsday", as long as your cultivation level is not at the state of becoming a god, you will be just like ordinary mortals, and you will not be able to escape the fate of death.
"The god of Qianting suddenly disappeared, and the god of the Fire Phoenix tribe suddenly came, bringing with him the wonder of heaven and earth, the "Nirvana Sea of Fire."
"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a coincidence."
Liu Yu looked solemn and looked toward the six Annan continents, as if he could see a doomsday-like scene.
One can imagine how terrifying the power of the "wonders of heaven and earth" activated by the God-incarnated Demon King is.
I am afraid that with just one blow, 99% of all living creatures in Lingzhou will die in an instant.
"Human nature."
Liu Yu sighed softly.
He had a vague hunch that the reason why the Zhang family was so completely defeated was probably due to the hostility from within the human race.
Perhaps there were forces who disliked the Zhang family a long time ago, took advantage of the Zhang family's secretly anxious mentality, and fueled this action, and finally had another small "accident".
"The game between big forces is still too far away from me."
"Most of the power is gone in Lingzhou and will never return. The Zhang family has suffered devastating losses, and the ancestor of the gods is still alive and dead."
"In this way, the dignified Huashen family has also been in turmoil overnight."
"The future direction is difficult to predict. It seems that not being too close to the Zhang family before was the right choice."
When Liu Yu thought about it, she could understand the Zhang family's current situation.
I am afraid that once it is confirmed that the Zhang family’s ancestor is dead, the forces that add insult to injury will immediately jump out and embark on the process of confiscation of homes, extermination of clans, and liquidation.
Time flies, and two years have passed. It has been four years since Liu Yu came to Shenjing City.
Ever since he decided to leave Shenjing City, collect the necessary resources, and go to a place with fewer high-level monks to "live in seclusion", he has been actively making preparations in this regard.
The first is to search for the follow-up of "Qingyang Gong", the second is to collect the spiritual herbs for refining Yuan Ning Dan, Qing Ming Dan, and Soul Condensing Pill, and the third is to increase the reserves of spiritual herbs and elixirs in the Immortal Mansion.
Two years have passed, and Liu Yu has made considerable progress in the latter two areas.
The countless resources for cultivating immortals in Shenjing City, without being stingy with spiritual stones, allowed him to collect many rare spiritual herbs of various grades, which greatly enriched his immortal mansion.
The spiritual herbs for refining Yuan Ning Dan and Qing Ming Dan have also been collected and can be refined at any time.
The only remaining spiritual herbs for refining the "Soul-Condensing Pill" have not yet been collected completely, but the progress has reached about half, and we finally saw the dawn of starting to refine the pill.
"At present, there is only the follow-up of "Qingyang Gong", and there has been no news."
"If possible, I would like to stay in Shenjing for a while to see if we can make progress."
"But if something like this happens, it's better not to stay in the Zhang family's mansion and leave Shenjing City as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Liu Yu suddenly stood up, opened the door with magic power, and quickly walked out.
Based on his understanding of Guo Poyun, the other party would never make such a joke. If he was summoned in such a serious manner, then the matter must have really happened.
As a god-forming force, there are definitely many enemies of the Zhang family. Once it is confirmed that the Zhang family's god-forming ancestor is dead, I am afraid that liquidation will come immediately.
Liu Yu didn't want to get involved and be treated as a Zhang family monk, so he planned to leave immediately.
"I wonder if Zhang Ziping has received news of this shocking incident at this time?"
This thought flashed through his mind.
After thinking about it, Liu Yu took out the jade communication card and sent out several emergency messages to inform the other party of the news.
After all, after four years, the two of them have developed a pretty good personal relationship, and the Zhang family has also provided various courtesy, and nothing will be lost by a verbal reminder.
The bright sunshine spreads across the land, the mansion is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and spring has arrived again.
When Liu Yu left the practice room, his spiritual consciousness, which had reached one hundred and twenty miles away, immediately spread in all directions.
"Put down everything you are doing and gather in the lobby!"
With an unprecedented serious tone, he sent messages to Zhuo Mengzhen and Zhang Yi respectively, asking them to come to the hall as quickly as possible.
Then clean up the traces and leave Shenjing City immediately.
