Of course, Liu Yu would not stand idly by when the four concubines gave birth to babies, and planned to help as much as he could.
But this is no reason to take risks.
Of course it would be possible to do it casually, but if he was asked to enter the secret realm specifically for this purpose to find the "Sun and Moon Spirit Spring", the main medicine for refining the Infant Ning Dan, it would undoubtedly be a fantasy.
Liu Yu always puts his own interests first, and his original intention has never changed.
The path of immortality is private, and he cannot take risks for others. If it were his own path, it would be almost the same.
"Greetings to the ancestor!"
The summons was sent, and the personal maid Gu Yueying soon appeared in front of her.
"Wow!"
In the bathroom, soon there was the sound of water, mixed with strange noises.
(Twenty thousand words are omitted here)
…
Seven days later.
In the hall of Tongtian Peak Cave Mansion, a man and a woman sat opposite each other around a table.
The female cultivator has a cool temperament and a slender figure. She wears a tight-fitting yellow dress, with smooth skin and picturesque eyebrows.
This woman is Zhuo Mengzhen!
It seemed that after a strenuous exercise, there were still two blushes on her cheeks that had not faded away. Against the backdrop of her fair skin, she showed an astonishing beauty.
Under the yellow clothes, there are still large red marks on the milky white skin that have not faded away, telling how intense the exercise was not long ago.
"Hmph~"
Thinking of the secret technique just now, Zhuo Mengzhen groaned and cast a look that was both angry and resentful.
"."
Opposite me, Liu Yu's expression remained unchanged as she sipped the spiritual tea in small sips.
At this time, he had entered a state as holy as a Buddha.
"Are you sure?"
After a long time, Liu Yu looked serious and asked softly.
With Zhuo Mengzhen's background, even with his help, the chance of having a baby is less than 30%.
If you forcefully pass the level, you will most likely die directly.
The 30% chance is already worth a chance for ordinary golden elixirs.
But in Liu Yu's opinion now, it is still too low, so he plans to let Zhuo Mengzhen wait.
Ancient secret realms appear one after another, many long-extinct spiritual herbs and elixirs reappear, and it may not be impossible for the "Sun and Moon Spiritual Spring" to reappear.
Once the main medicine appears, with the resources at his disposal, he is very sure to get it in exchange.
Liu Yu's current alchemy attainments have probably surpassed the senior alchemy master Mo Mei.
Although the Ningying Pill is rare, it is only a fourth-level low-grade pill after all, and the difficulty of refining it is not great for him now.
With his current alchemy attainments, even if he could only obtain a small amount of "Sun and Moon Spirit Spring", it would not be a problem to refine a few Infant Ning Dan.
Based on various considerations, Liu Yu was inclined to let Zhuo Mengzhen wait.
"Persistence is indeed valuable."
"But if something cannot be done, it would be wise to take a step back temporarily."
"If you give up on passing the test, I can guarantee that you will be rich and prosperous, and that you will live to be 800 years old without any disaster."
After a pause, Liu Yu said slowly.
To be fair, he did not want his concubine to rush through without the help of Ningying Dan.
If he were a disciple of a sect with a 20-30% chance of conceiving a baby, Liu Yu would encourage the disciple to give it a try and create a path to the sky.
But there is no need to be so strict with your concubines.
After all, he never expects them to help him in the battle, he only needs to manage the forces under his command.
Whether it's double standards or differential treatment, he is just so realistic.
Facing Liu Yu's persuasion, Zhuo Mengzhen did not speak immediately, but shook his head slowly and firmly to express his attitude.
She is not only a concubine, but also a qualified monk, and she would never want to be a vase!
"Husband, on this path of cultivating immortality, no one is sure of being promoted."
"But I am willing to risk my life to try to seize that glimmer of hope!!"
Faced with Liu Yu's concern, Zhuo Mengzhen had a sweet smile on her lips, her voice was soft but firm.
Use your beauty to serve others, but your beauty will fade and your love will go away.
Although at present, perhaps because of their shared experiences, her husband still loves her.
But people's hearts are fickle, who can guarantee how long this kind of love will last?
Even if she is just a concubine, Zhuo Mengzhen has always been proud and does not allow herself to be completely reduced to a vassal.
She deeply knows that the reason why others are kind to her is mostly because she herself is good.
"."
Hearing this, Liu Yu fell into silence. Feeling the other party's unswerving determination, she felt a little moved in her heart.
Yes, if it were him, if he only had a 30% chance of being promoted to a god, he would still choose to jump at the last moment.
I will never regret it until the moment I am about to die.
"I already understand your intention and will not stop you from passing the test."
"But there is no need to rush into having a baby. You can wait."
"I have obtained the recipe for the Ningying Dan. Although some elixirs have disappeared, with the emergence of ancient secret realms one after another, there may not be hope of collecting them all."
"You are my concubine. I will naturally help you in such a big matter as having a baby."
After a few breaths of silence, Liu Yu said slowly.
Throughout the ages, even if one general succeeds and all his bones are withered, and there are piles of corpses under the throne, there are still so many monks who fly to the flames without caring about themselves.
He is also included.
So, what reason is there to prevent another monk from climbing the immortal path?
Even if this monk is his concubine.
Liu Yu thought about it and decided to respect the choices of Yan Quer, Zhuo Mengzhen, Jiang Qiushui, Ji Ruyan and others in the future.
It is up to the four women to choose whether to spend the rest of their lives peacefully or take a leap.
"I thank you so much, husband!"
Listening to Liu Yu's promise, a gentle smile appeared on Zhuo Meng's face, and she promised not to hit the baby bottleneck immediately.
Jindan Zhenren's ultimate lifespan is eight hundred years.
However, due to injuries in fighting, injuries in cultivation, etc., some of their vitality will be lost to a greater or lesser extent. Most Golden Elixir monks have a lifespan of about six hundred years.
This "vitality" is not that "vitality", but something that affects the state of the physical body more profoundly, and cannot be compensated for by ordinary means.
However, as the concubines of the powerful "Qingyang True Lord" of the Seven Nations Alliance, Yan Quer and Zhuo Mengzhen can still use spiritual objects to make up for it. Under the condition of no disaster or disaster, it is not a problem to live to the maximum lifespan.
Under normal circumstances, when a Golden elixir monk reaches the age of six hundred, his physical body's energy and blood will slowly decline, and the chance of being promoted to Nascent Soul will also gradually decrease.
However, the four daughters Yan Quer and Zhuo Mengzhen have all taken the spiritual substance "Golden Scale Fruit", which can extend their peak lifespan for a hundred years, and their energy and blood will not decline before they are seven hundred years old, reducing the chance of having a baby.
After some discussion, Zhuo Mengzhen promised that he would not attack the Nascent Soul bottleneck privately until he was six hundred and fifty years old.
And Liu Yu will not restrict her freedom. This woman can freely travel around the world of immortality and find opportunities to have a baby by herself.
"Rumble"
Soon after, Zhuo Mengzhen left, and as the sound of the stone door closing disappeared, the huge cave fell into silence again.
"The decline and end of things are destined. And it is inevitable."
Seeing the stone door closing, isolating the cave from the outside world, Liu Yu flashed this idea.
It is difficult to conceive a baby, and it is difficult to reach the sky.
There have been statistics in the world of cultivating immortals. If ordinary resources are sufficient, on average, for every 20,000 Qi-refining monks, one Nascent Soul monk may not be born in the end.
Even if the Heavenly Spiritual Root of "Heaven's Proud One" cannot condense high-grade golden elixirs, it will have no advantage over ordinary monks.
This shows how difficult it is to create a baby bottleneck.
Only high-grade golden elixirs can have a slight bonus, and the promotion probability is slightly higher than that of ordinary golden elixirs.
Therefore, high-grade golden elixirs from rival sects have always been targets of suppression.
That's why Liu Yu concealed the news that he had condensed the high-grade golden elixir at the beginning, not wanting to attract pressure from the Hehuan Sect and other sects.
"With the difficulty of the Ying Yu bottleneck, even if I try my best to help, even if the Ying Yu Dan is finally refined, I am afraid that it is impossible for all the last four concubines to be promoted to Nascent Soul."
Getting up and walking towards the practice room, Liu Yu had this thought flash across his mind.
There was an inexplicable fluctuation in his eyes, and then he shook his head, and his eyes returned to calm.
Since ancient times, breakthroughs in great realms have been accompanied by extremely high mortality rates.
Other monks can die, but why can’t he, Liu’s concubine, die?!
After cultivating immortality for more than four hundred years, Liu Yu has long been used to witnessing and causing countless deaths with his own eyes.
So every time I think about this, after the first few discomforts, my heart will soon return to calm.
If the sky is sentimental, the sky will also grow old, and the great road is ruthless and supreme!
…
With the fall of the "Old Monster of Qingshan", the "Xuanyin Sect" that was once most prosperous in the past also collapsed and was annexed by the "Houtu Sect" controlled by Huang Mei.
The secular Miao Kingdom and Yu Kingdom are also under the control of Houtu Sect. Under the background of Huang Mei's promotion to Nascent Soul, the control of these two small and medium-sized countries is as stable as Mount Tai.
On this day, True Lord Yuanying arrived one after another, and was personally received by True Lord Yuanying of Houtu Sect.
Huang Mei, who was already the great monk, was quietly suspended in the air in front of the mountain gate. Facing the greetings of other True Lords, he only returned the greetings with his hands.
He looked towards the south, as if waiting for something.
"Whoosh~"
Not long after, a blue-purple light suddenly appeared in the sky, and a line of spiritual pressure that was obviously more powerful than an ordinary True Lord quickly approached.
Seeing this, Huang Mei, who had been waiting for a long time, perked up and slowly flew towards the direction of the purple light spot.
In the past thirty years, ancient secret realms have emerged one after another, revealing many ancient treasures that have been extinct for a long time.
A few years ago, a large secret realm happened to appear not far from the Miao and Yu countries.
Although Houtu Sect cannot monopolize it, it has also gained a lot of benefits.
Secret realms appeared one after another, which greatly enriched Tiannan's high-level immortal cultivation resources.
However, the treasures obtained from the secret realm may not necessarily be used by myself. Everyone has the need to exchange what they have.
Therefore, shortly after the exploration of the large-scale secret realm was completed, Huangmei Zhenjun immediately sent out invitations to all colleagues to participate in the exchange meeting.
By doing this, although you cannot directly gain any benefits, you can greatly increase your reputation and make friends with fellow Nascent Souls from the three major alliances.
This kind of invisible influence is also a type of soft power.
"Whoosh~"
After approaching half a mile, the two rays of light disappeared at the same time, revealing the figures of two monks.
"I haven't seen you for many years. Fellow Taoist Qingyang is even more charming than before!"
He cupped his hands from a distance, smiled heartily with yellow eyebrows, and greeted him familiarly.
"We haven't seen each other for nearly thirty years, and our Taoist friends have made further progress!"
With her clothes fluttering, Liu Yu smiled softly and returned the favor.
His spiritual sense spread quietly, and he easily sensed the other party's cultivation level. Compared to the last time they met, he was more face-to-face, and indeed he had made further progress.
It was roughly promoted from the "seventh level of Nascent Soul" to the point close to the "eighth level of Nascent Soul".
For Yuanying monks, such progress in just thirty years is considered very rapid.
"It seems that over the years, Huang Mei has been exploring treasure hunting a lot, and I'm afraid he has gained a lot."
This thought flashed across Liu Yu's mind.
No matter what, the two of them were close friends and he didn't have any strange thoughts.
After all, the stronger your allies are, the better they will be for you.
"Please~!"
After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them flew towards the mountain gate of Houtu Sect together.
"Five Elements Palace"
Under Huang Mei's guidance, the two landed on a mountain shrouded in mist and entered a solemn hall.
"Forty-Four True Kings"
After crossing the threshold, Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness quietly swept through, and he immediately discovered many auras at the Nascent Soul level.
Counting Huang Mei and him, there are forty-four Nascent Soul cultivators from the three major alliances!
But after thinking about it again, Liu Yu felt relieved.
With the emergence of ancient secret realms, high-level immortal cultivation resources have increased a lot in a short period of time. Of course, the Nascent Soul monsters must replace the unused treasures in their hands with usable resources to improve their cultivation strength.
Therefore, it is natural to have more frequent activities.
Divine consciousness and spiritual awareness spread quietly, and Liu Yu discovered that at this exchange meeting, there were six Guangda monks, all of whom were famous.
Either he is a hero of the righteous way, or he is a giant of the evil way!
"The quality of this exchange meeting is indeed quite high."
After this thought came to an end, Liu Yu looked at the few monks in the hall who were wearing bamboo hats that could block the detection of spiritual consciousness, and an inexplicable luster flashed in his eyes.
Although they are well hidden, their secret techniques and magic weapons can effectively prevent the detection of spiritual consciousness.
But with his extremely keen spiritual sense, he could still feel the subtle wisps of evil spirits. There were actually evil cultivators attending this exchange meeting incognito!
"Fellow Taoist Qingyang"
"I've met fellow Taoist Qingyang!"
Looking at the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, Liu Yu is also a well-known figure now, so as soon as he appeared, many true kings stood up to say hello.
He nodded with a smile and sat down on a Taishi chair. Next to him happened to be the old monk Kongzhao with his hands clasped together and a look of compassion on his face.
"Right."
"During the end of the ancient times, the human and demon tribes were not as prosperous as they are now, so the seal that sealed that existence was also placed by the powerful powers of all ancient tribes."
"In this case, it cannot only exist in Tiannan and one place. I am afraid that there are sealed places in every place in the five regions."
"Not only the human race's sphere of influence, but also the demon clan's sphere of influence also has secret realms emerging."
"In this case, the demon kings must have useless treasures in their hands. They urgently need to exchange for useful treasures and do not want to miss such a grand event."
"This way, everything makes sense."
After this thought, Liu Yu sat down without changing her expression and greeted a comrade skillfully.
In fact, when there is no direct conflict, when true kings and demon kings meet, they rarely fight and kill each other directly, and it is common for them to exchange their favors.
Moreover, this exchange meeting was initiated by his friend Huang Mei, so he would not deliberately reveal the identity of the demon cultivator.
