Chapter 679 The news of the jade plaque is unusual
Compared with ordinary golden elixirs, Zhuo Mengzhen still has certain advantages in being able to purchase elixirs from Liu Yu at the "internal price".
Including the income from working for him and being a second-level array mage, it is more than enough to satisfy daily practice.
He even added one or two magic weapons.
In the past twenty-five years, in addition to running errands for Liu Yu and earning spiritual stones, this woman has also continued to hone her cultivation and fighting skills.
The time when Zhuo Mengzhen broke through to the middle stage of Jindan was not far different from Liu Yu.
It was only because I was seriously injured and fell down in the middle of the journey that I needed to regain my strength and rebuild, which delayed a lot of time.
However, compared to Liu Yu's three-level cultivation, and the ninth-grade golden elixir, he needs to accumulate a huge amount of mana.
This woman is practicing Qi alone much faster and consumes much less resources.
It has cultivation conditions that are beyond those of ordinary golden elixirs, and the foundation is not very strong. It took decades to cultivate to the point where it is close to its mid-term peak, which can be considered quite satisfactory.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Liu Yu leaned out of the window with her hands on the edge of the window, quietly watching the scene of the woman practicing her sword, with a slight smile on her lips.
Although Zhuo Mengzhen's strength is nothing to him now, his spirit is indeed good and will not become a burden in the future.
When encountering danger, you can also have a certain ability to protect yourself.
"Compared to Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan, Zhuo Mengzhen is still stronger."
"But this is not bad."
The excitement brought about by the breakthrough disappeared, and his mind gradually returned to calm. This thought flashed across Liu Yu's mind.
Under the orange sunset, he quietly looked into the distance.
On the green grass, Zhuo Mengzhen seemed to be aware of something, and turned around to find Liu Yu.
The sword force paused, and the woman smiled sweetly.
Immediately, the solidified flying flowers and fallen leaves moved again, and she continued to practice her sword.
"咻咻~"
In the courtyard, bursts of piercing sounds came and went, and from time to time there was the sound of a sword.
The practice ended half a quarter of an hour later. Zhuo Mengzhen put away his sword and stood proudly on the lawn in a white outfit.
Looking at Liu Yu from a distance, she said:
"How about we compare with each other?"
Calculating the time, it has been about twenty years since the last time the two of them fought.
Knowing Liu Yu's terrifying strength, Zhuo Mengzhen knew that he was no match for him, but now that his cultivation had increased and his strength had greatly improved, she wanted to know how much of a gap there was.
"."
Hearing this, Liu Yu smiled slightly, and his magic power rose into the sky.
In less than half a breath, he flew from the attic to the lawn.
"Let's take action."
He put his hands behind his back and said calmly.
He had just broken through to the late stage of Jindan, and his strength had increased significantly. Liu Yu also felt a little itchy.
Although the opponent's strength is a bit weak, it doesn't hurt to stop fighting once they reach the point of discussion.
What's more, after so many years, it's time to clean up Zhuo Mengzhen, otherwise I'm afraid this woman will be uneasy with her strong temper.
After all, he was only given the title of concubine to one person, so he naturally had to show off his "excellence" and convince the other person to become a concubine.
The male Muduo, the female Muqiang!
This is an instinct engraved in the blood, and even as a golden elixir female cultivator, it is affected to some extent.
You're not polite, Zhuo Mengzhen nodded lightly when he heard this, and his expression instantly became extremely solemn.
Knowing the terrifying strength of the other party, standing opposite her as an opponent, she immediately felt heavy pressure, as if there was a giant beast standing opposite her.
"go!"
Opening his mouth and spitting out his natal magic weapon "Mysterious Yin and Yang Needles", Zhuo Mengzhen quickly pinched the magic formula to activate it, and dense shadows of needles appeared dozens of feet around his body, and they all shot towards Liu Yu.
"咻咻~"
Hundreds of pink needles formed a dense "rain curtain" like raindrops, falling along an arc-shaped trajectory towards the target dozens of feet away.
After activating his natal magic weapon, Zhuo Mengzhen released the silver sword in his hand at the same time, followed the "pink rain curtain" with a flash of cold light, and attacked Liu Yu with all his strength.
Because she understood the opponent's strength, she attacked with all her strength, without any reservation.
In an instant, bursts of magic-level power enveloped the entire courtyard.
The grass and trees are low and the dust is flying.
Fortunately, there was a formation to protect him, so that the entire mansion would not be destroyed in a single battle.
On the other side, facing Zhuo Mengzhen's fierce offensive, Liu Yu remained indifferent with his hands behind his back, showing off the airs of a high-level monk.
It wasn't until the "pink rain curtain" composed of needle shadows approached ten feet that he thought, and a blue fire shield several feet in size appeared in front of him.
Protective flame shield!
"Bang bang bang~"
Densely packed red needle shadows fell on the blue fire shield, and there was a continuous roar, but it was difficult to move forward at all.
All the red needle shadows were blocked by a thin fire shield, and then their power was exhausted and they collapsed and disappeared.
When the "rain curtain" composed of needle shadows disappeared, the silver thin sword was close at hand.
With a thought in his mind, the protective flame shield dissipated. Liu Yu calmly stretched out his right hand, his body surface glowing with silver aura, and he moved towards the silver rapier slowly but quickly.
It is not a protective flame shield and cannot withstand the attack of this sword.
The reason why he did this was just because receiving the magic weapon with his bare hands would have a better visual effect.
It also allows Zhuo Mengzhen to realize the difference and break some unrealistic ideas.
"Stab~"
With a flash of silver light, his middle finger and index finger came together and clamped the silver rapier accurately, sparks bursting out.
But he himself was not damaged at all.
"Hmph~!"
Zhuo Mengzhen was not convinced, and he pinched the sword with both hands, activating the power of the silver rapier with all his strength.
"Buzz~"
The sword's aura was strong and it trembled violently.
But trapped in the two fingers carrying Peiran's huge strength, like the Monkey King being suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, the silver thin sword cannot move forward even half an inch no matter what, let alone escape.
"It's my turn."
Looking at Zhuo Mengzhen from a distance, Liu Yu easily caught all the attacks and then smiled strangely.
"not good!"
Looking at this smile, Zhuo Mengzhen instinctively felt that something was wrong.
She didn't know what she thought of, but she immediately flashed and disappeared from where she was.
"The Secret of the Shining"
It appeared again, about eighty feet away from its original position.
However, the sense of crisis coming from the spiritual sense was not relieved by the movement, but became more intense.
The next moment, a slight sound of wind sounded in my ears.
As if following a shadow, Liu Yu appeared half a foot away from the woman, holding a silver thin sword firmly in her right hand and extending her left hand forward like a bag.
"Bang~"
Under the power of third-level physical training, Zhuo Mengzhen's mana shield shattered like a bubble.
The next moment, an irresistible force came and she was easily held down by a big hand.
Then the big hand moved, and the woman was brought into a broad chest, and a masculine energy came to her.
"how?"
Liu Yu seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She gently held the girl in her arms with her left hand and spoke condescendingly.
"I lost."
Feeling the opponent's unfathomable strength again, and almost losing sight of his back, Zhuo Meng was really a little disappointed.
The fight just now lasted only a few breaths, and she didn't expect to lose so quickly.
"Compared to before, his strength has increased a lot."
This thought flashed across Zhuo Mengzhen.
"Your level is too low, which limits the increase in strength."
"But it has improved a lot compared to before and is doing very well."
Letting go of the silver thin sword, Liu Yu gently pushed aside the female cultivator in her arms, uncovering a few strands of hair that blocked her face, and said softly.
The effect of suppression has been achieved, but we cannot suppress it all at once, otherwise it is likely to damage the other party's self-confidence.
Appropriate affirmation is also necessary.
A two-pronged approach will achieve better results. Liu Yu has dealt with many female cultivators and has sufficient experience in this area.
"Um."
Zhuo Mengzhen responded in a low voice, turned his head and looked away, not daring to look directly into the eyes that were gradually becoming fiery.
However, after receiving Liu Yu's affirmation, she couldn't help but feel happy, with a bright smile on her lips.
A touching blush quietly appeared on this woman's cheeks.
I don’t know if it’s because the mana shield was broken and the mana was shocked, or because of some other reason.
"My husband has broken through to the late stage of Jindan?!"
Zhuo Mengzhen suddenly spoke.
Although it was a question, the tone was extremely affirmative.
She didn't cover it up in the first place, but she could easily detect it when the two of them were in close contact.
Due to the simultaneous cultivation of the three paths, Liu Yu's cultivation speed is not too fast compared to ordinary monks, and it has not reached a shocking level.
With the cover of being an alchemist, he is much faster than ordinary monks and is relatively easy to accept.
As for the monks in the middle realm, they don't know when they formed the elixir and when they reached the middle stage of the golden elixir. Naturally, they cannot accurately calculate the speed of their cultivation.
In this way, Liu Yu no longer needs to cover up.
After all, sometimes hiding one's cultivation will prevent you from giving full play to your strength, and instead, you will be constrained.
In the realm of Jindan, there are almost no monks who can threaten his life.
And when facing the True Lord Nascent Soul, there is no need or meaning to hide. If he is targeted, he cannot escape.
Therefore, after thinking again and again, Liu Yu decided not to hide his cultivation.
"With the "One Qi Qiankun Talisman" alone, if you encounter a Yuanying monk, your confidence in saving your life is still too low."
"Perhaps it's time to purchase some life-saving treasures."
"After all, after it is enough to maintain daily practice, no matter how many spiritual stones you have, they are just dead objects. They are of little use lying in the storage ring. They must be used effectively."
Nodding slightly, acknowledging the breakthrough in cultivation, this thought flashed through his mind.
"Congratulations husband!"
Zhuo Mengzhen smiled brightly, revealing her neat white teeth between her pink lips.
The intimate relationship has lasted for decades, and now they have a formal title. It can be said that the two are closely related. Of course, she is happy that her husband has taken a further step.
"Come to the attic tonight and I will help you practice!"
After maintaining the embrace posture, we exchanged a few words with each other. Seeing that the topic was about to develop into the world of immortality, Liu Yu immediately spoke.
It has been several months since he "discussed the Tao late at night", and because of his breakthrough in cultivation, his qi and blood have also increased a little. He feels that the sequelae of the exercise are showing signs of attack again.
Yin and Yang must be reconciled in time, otherwise it will not be conducive to cultivation
"Hmm~"
Lowering his head, Zhuo Mengzhen responded softly, his voice almost undetectable.
The blush on her cheeks became thicker, and her eyes were as bright as moonlight, as if she was also looking forward to something.
But what she saw and heard in the sect since she was a child made this girl make up her mind early on and never take the initiative in this matter.
Things that are too easy to obtain will never be cherished by others.
Liu Yu let go of Zhuo Mengzhen, and the two of them talked a few more words about recent events, and then walked towards their respective lofts.
Because of what happened at night, he didn't activate the formation and went straight to the bathroom.
After cleaning the dirt removed from cultivation, he put on a brand new black robe, sat on the grand master's chair in the hall, and took out the "Guixu Shen Jue" to meditate on.
As time goes by, the sun gradually sets below the horizon.
The hazy night shrouded the earth unconsciously, and the wind rustled the leaves outside the window.
"tread"
The sound of subtle footsteps came closer and closer. Liu Yu's heart moved and she turned around to look, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
I saw a female cultivator wearing a pink gauze dress with a faintly graceful figure walking slowly out of the darkness.
Through the pink gauze, the fair and soft skin is looming, and the infinite scenery is fascinating.
The hem of the skirt just covered the knees, revealing a slender and glorious calf with an attractive sheen.
The neatly manicured nails are also painted pink, adding a bit of sex appeal.
This woman's makeup tonight is exquisite, and it can be seen that she has put a lot of effort into dressing up.
Liu Yu glanced up and down openly, without any intention of covering up, and his eyes were extremely aggressive.
The two people's eyes met from a distance, and an ambiguous atmosphere gradually spread in the attic.
As he walked closer, Zhuo Mengzhen waved his sleeves and turned lightly, showing off his graceful figure and bringing bursts of fragrant wind into his nose.
"Pfft~"
Seeing the other person's stunning eyes, she covered her mouth and smiled, feeling very satisfied that the long preparation was not in vain.
Now that things have come to this, Liu Yu will naturally not be confused about the amorous feelings, so she immediately takes a weak and boneless jade hand and strides towards the bedroom.
Tonight, take advantage of it!
Strange sounds started to sound intermittently soon after, and the light in the attic stayed on all night.
It wasn't until dawn that the strange sound gradually became lower and lower, until it finally disappeared.
(Twenty thousand words are omitted here)
…
Half a month later, Xunyang City Residence.
"Wow" "Wow"
Liu Yu and Zhuo Mengzhen sat opposite each other, each holding a book and slowly flipping through it, occasionally stopping to frown and think.
Perhaps due to his influence, or perhaps due to other reasons, this woman gradually became fond of reading classics in detail.
However, most of what Zhuo Mengzhen read were classics on formations, or various magic books, and he was more interested in formations.
"The Black Sky Auction House's once-in-a-decade auction event will not be held until nearly five years."
"But I can't place all my expectations on this auction house. During the period in between, I can also go to shops with good reputations and signboards."
After half an hour of reading time passed, Liu Yu closed the book and thought silently in his heart.
He was about to feed Xiaoqing when the communication jade token in the storage ring made a noise.
"Um?!"
"If you contact me at this time, it's either Zhang Ziping or a monk from the Commoner League."
"Calculating the time, it's been five years since the last mission, so it's almost time."
"Mostly from the Commoner League."
Thinking of this, Liu Yu's storage ring flashed with inspiration, and he took out the jade medal for communication and checked it.
If you want to get something, you have to give something. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times.
With the favorable conditions for joining the alliance and the various convenient benefits after joining the alliance, he naturally wants to work for the League of Commoners.
Complete tasks and get rewards.
In addition to the mission to attack Su Xiangling and his party and intercept the "Stone of Confusion", Liu Yu went through five more missions, each mission being almost five years apart.
It has been five years since the last mission was completed.
A ray of spiritual consciousness penetrated the jade medallion, and Liu Yu instantly read the incoming message, and his expression suddenly became solemn.
"Hurry to the Immortal Palace, we have something important to discuss."
The voice that sent the letter this time was very familiar. It was actually Lord Qingshui. This had never happened before, which surprised him.
"Qingshui Zhenjun personally summoned me. The specific mission was not made clear in the summons."
"His tone was very solemn. It seems that this mission is more unusual than before."
"Buyi League, I'm afraid they are going to make some big move."
Replying to the message and putting the message jade token into the storage ring, Liu Yu murmured.
Hearing the movement, Zhuo Mengzhen raised his head and looked over, inquiry flashing in his eyes.
"Incoming news from the Commoners League, only the core members will be summoned."
"I have to go to Wanxian Mountain. Xiaoqing will be left to you to take care of me. Don't let this guy get into trouble."
Liu Yu explained a few words, took out a few pills for improving the cultivation of monsters and handed them to the other party.
Although his cultivation level has reached the middle stage of the third level, considering the monster's long lifespan, Xiao Qing is still an out-and-out "child".
It is roughly equivalent to what a mortal child would look like when he is seven or eight years old.
After reaching the third level, the spiritual intelligence has indeed improved significantly, but the thinking aspect is still very naive.
He is very powerful, but if no one is looking after him, he can easily get into trouble.
Of course, you can't save yourself trouble by always putting it in the spirit beast bag, which is not conducive to future growth and advancement.
Zhuo Mengzhen followed Liu Yu, and the two lived together for decades.
As a "hostess", she has always been in contact with and looked after Xiaoqing, and she has become quite familiar with one person and the other.
In his absence, he can play a role in supervising the little one.
"Understood, husband."
Standing up and taking the elixir, Zhuo Mengzhen said softly.
She also joined the Commoner League, but due to her mediocre strength, she could not directly become a core member.
But under Liu Yu's care, all the tasks he received were ordinary tasks, and there was basically no danger.
Even if there is a slight risk, as long as you take Xiaoqing for a trip, you can always get through it safely.
One person and one demon are both in the middle stage of the third level. Compared with Liu Yu, their "strength is average", but they are not bad compared to ordinary golden elixirs.
Together, even late-stage Jindan cultivators, as long as their strength is not too high, can win in most situations and escape unscathed no matter what happens.
Even if he encounters the peak of the golden elixir, he can still resist for a short period of time, which is enough to last until Liu Yu arrives in time.
"Um."
Seeing the other party's well-behaved and sensible appearance, Liu Yu nodded gently and immediately walked out of the attic.
But I secretly sighed in my heart that the "beating" half a month ago had really good results.
Zhuo Mengzhen walked all the way to the door, watched the cyan light disappear completely in the sky, and then returned to the attic.
"Whoosh~"
A strong sound broke through the sky, and the blue light pierced the sky, flying straight towards the direction of Wanxian Mountain.
"If you don't prepare a few life-saving things, you will always feel unreliable."
"I hope this mission doesn't start immediately and allows me more time to prepare."
While escaping, thinking about the unusualness of this communication, Liu Yu thought silently.
Although his cultivation had reached the late Golden Core stage and he had made great progress in all aspects, he still felt vaguely uneasy when he thought that Lord Qingshui would personally deliver the message for this mission.
After all, the so-called strength is only relative to the Golden Core cultivator, which is not enough to face the Nascent Soul Lord.
"I hope you won't have to face True Monarch Nascent Soul in this mission, otherwise."
