Chapter 53 Famous in the World of Immortal Cultivation
In fact, not only others were confused, Li Yu himself was also stunned for a long time when he received the reward for the second-level spirit beast competition.
He really didn't expect that Ling'er would be able to have the last laugh with the strength he had just established.
The most eye-catching performance in this year's spirit beast exchange was not the Beast Control Sect or the Tiandao Sect, but the little white tiger from Kunlun. That unique competition opened the eyes of many people.
I didn’t even bother to watch the third-level spirit beast competition that followed.
Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan and Jiang Li were also surrounded by the crowd.
But others are not looking for Li Yu, they are all looking for Ling'er.
Regardless of men, women, or children, when faced with such a cute and smart little white tiger, they all wanted to touch and hug it. Li Yu couldn't bear to be disturbed, and Ling'er was obviously not used to this kind of scene, so Li Yu could only leave early with it.
When Wang Daoxuan received the news in Kunlun Cave, he no longer knew what to say.
At this Immortal Conference, Li Yu brought him too many surprises. The succession of surprises even made him a little numb.
This is the first time that Kunlun has made a splash at the Immortal Dao Conference before the alchemy exchange has even begun.
It can be said that even if Kunlun does not participate in the exchange of alchemists, its current achievements have exceeded previous achievements and it deserves to be called one of the top ten sects in the world of immortality.
In Tiandao City, after returning to the station, Li Yu immediately took the ten pulse-opening pills that Ling'er had won back.
Although Ling'er won this, there was no need for Li Yu to be polite to him.
Only if he forms the elixir first, their cultivation resources will not be lacking.
He came to this exchange meeting at the right time. Before the alchemy exchange started, he had already received twenty Pulse Extension Pills, not counting the additional rewards that the sect had not fulfilled. The exchange of immortality is held once every five years, which means that
, he can come here once every five years to purchase goods...
For the purpose of gaining insights, Li Yu also went to see the ensuing exchanges on weapon refining and mechanism skills. Although he was just sitting in the audience, some disciples of Tiandaozong, Qingcheng, and Tianji sect also
He looked like he was facing a formidable enemy. Fortunately, Li Yu was an audience the whole time and had no intention of participating in the competition.
In fact, Li Yu was thinking about whether he should master the art of refining weapons after returning. Alchemy and weapon refining are actually very similar. He has all five spiritual veins and has the ability to control fire. To him, weapon refining is...
It shouldn't be too difficult...
Tiandao Sect is worthy of being a super sect with balanced development of all sects. The beast-controlling sect is stronger than the beast-controlling sect. The weapon refining and Qingcheng are evenly matched. Even the machine skills are not much worse than the Tianji sect. In addition, the previous formations and talismans are better.
The competition was basically a competition between Tiandao Sect and various sects. This allowed some immortal cultivators who had previously lacked knowledge of Tiandao Sect's strength to see the strength of this super sect for the first time.
The exchange on organ skills is over, and one day later, there will be an exchange on alchemy.
This is also Kunlun’s home court.
In the peak period of Kunlun, there were three alchemy exchange competitions, and the top ten were all Kunlun disciples. It was a unique alchemy holy place in the world of immortality.
However, in recent years, Tiandao Sect has produced many good talents, and some outstanding alchemists have emerged in Emei. Kunlun cannot form an absolute monopoly on alchemy, especially in the past two years, Tiandao Sect has even been able to compete in alchemy. Go up and fight against Kunlun.
Losing the Alchemy Competition actually means no loss to Tiandao Sect.
They are not known for their alchemy in the first place.
But if Kunlun loses, the consequences will be more serious. Many casual cultivators and small and medium-sized sects, because of Kunlun's strength and reputation in alchemy, will give the elixir to Kunlun for refining. Some cultivators with good talents want to learn alchemy. Even those who worship Kunlun will worship Kunlun because of its reputation.
If Kunlun loses to Tiandao Sect in alchemy, Kunlun's influence in alchemy will definitely decline sharply, and what originally belonged to Kunlun will be transferred to Tiandao Sect.
Among the various arts of cultivating immortals, all others are foreign objects. Only Dan Dao can directly improve cultivation and thus increase longevity. Even if Kunlun's resources are not as good as Tiandao Sect, some talented cultivators are willing to become Kunlun disciples.
Compared with Tiandao Sect, Kunlun's biggest advantage is that it has fifth-grade and even sixth-grade alchemists who can refine such heaven-defying elixirs as Pregnancy Pill, some geniuses in the world of immortality, and many third-grade alchemists. , and it was precisely because of this that I chose to stay in Kunlun.
After all, although Tiandao Sect is powerful, it does not have a fifth-grade alchemist, so it cannot provide much help for their future practice.
But with the disappearance of those high-level alchemy materials, Kunlun also encountered the dilemma of a clever woman unable to make a meal without straw.
Without the materials, those high-level alchemists would not be able to create the Pregnancy Pill out of thin air. In this way, Kunlun's greatest advantage would no longer exist.
Li Yu often went to Yuxu Palace. When the headmaster discussed matters with other Yuan Ying Patriarchs, he also listened to a few words. It seemed that since the sect's last pregnancy pill was given to Jiang Li, Kunlun was in a difficult situation. We have recruited extremely talented disciples.
The resources of Tiandao Sect are ten times better than those of Kunlun. Without the advantage of level five and above elixirs, others will naturally be more willing to join Tiandao Sect.
If this status quo is not changed, Kunlun's decline will only take hundreds of years.
Therefore, Kunlun attaches great importance to the alchemy competition in this Immortal Dao Conference. He vows to win the first place in the three alchemy exchanges and let more disciples enter the top ten, so as to expand the influence of the sect and attract more people. Many talents.
The alchemy exchange will only begin tomorrow, and there are no other competitions today. Li Yu has nothing to do, and sits with Wu Tong on the steps at the entrance of the hall, chatting.
He still liked chatting with Wu Tong, mainly because he could learn more.
He could even find out the gossip about the sect Poxu's ancestors. He also knew a lot about the ancient secrets of the world of immortality. There was no question that Li Yu could not answer that he could not answer.
Every time after chatting with Wu Tong, Li Yu can gain a lot.
When they came to Tiandaozong, they chatted all the way on the Lingfang. Li Yu also saved a lot of questions that he didn't have time to ask. Today, both of them happened to be idle. Li Yu placed a plate of melon seeds between them and asked Said: "By the way, where did the remnants of the Tianyan Dynasty you mentioned last time escape to, some secret cave?"
Wu Tong cracked a melon seed and said leisurely: "Lingyuan Realm."
Li Yu asked in confusion: "Lingyuan Realm, why have I never heard of it?"
Wu Tong smiled and said: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it. The Lingyuan Realm and our Xuantian Realm have not been connected for more than a thousand years. I dare say that most of the Yuanying Patriarchs don't know.
The existence of the Lingyuan Realm and the few transformed gods may still have some memories of that war. At that time, the remnants of the Tianyan Dynasty gathered the strong men of the Lingyuan Realm and wanted to make a comeback, but they were led by the Tiandao Sect to lead the righteous sects.
We fought back, but even though we won that battle, all the sects also suffered heavy losses, and countless strong men fell, and it took hundreds of years to recover..."
Seeing that Li Yu didn't quite understand, Wu Tong explained: "Actually, our world is essentially the same as those secret realms in the cave. The only difference is that the area is different. The larger one is called the big world, and the smaller one is called the secret realm.
Dongtian, these big and small worlds are floating in the void, and they are always moving. Some small worlds are connected to the big world, and some are not. Those that are already connected may be separated in the future, and those that are temporarily separated may also be connected in the future. Ling Yuan
The two big worlds of Xuantian and Xuantian are very close to each other. They move according to certain rules in the void. Every once in a while, they will encounter each other..."
Before Wu Tong told him this, Li Yu didn't even know that the big world they were in had a name.
In addition, there is actually a Lingyuan Realm that is connected to the Xuantian Realm every once in a while.
Li Yu learned from Wu Tong that, like Xuantian Realm, Lingyuan Realm also has aborigines, and there are immortal cultivators in both worlds. Every time the two worlds are connected, a protracted war will break out.
The resources of the two big worlds have been exhausted by mining, and there is nothing to fight for. However, the golden elixirs, Yuan Ying, and even Yuanshen of the immortal cultivators on both sides are a great tonic to the other side, more powerful than the elixir.
Conveniently, once the two worlds meet, what will follow is bound to be a carnival of killing.
Currently, the world of cultivating immortals has gone through a long period of peace.
But according to Wu Tong, there is no fixed rule for the connection between the two big worlds. Sometimes they are separated by hundreds of years, sometimes they are separated by thousands of years. Maybe they will not meet again in a thousand years, but maybe it will be tomorrow.
The strength of Lingyuan Great World is not inferior to them at all. Once a war breaks out, no matter whether it is the righteous path, the demonic path, the Buddhist Demon Court, or the Central Dynasty, they will not be spared.
But when that time comes, let alone the foundation building stage, even the sect's Jindan elders and Yuanying Patriarch will be unable to survive alone. Every time there is a battle, there are even strong gods who have fallen.
This gave Li Yu a sense of crisis. It was better to improve his strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the crisis comes, he may not even be able to protect himself.
Seeing his thoughtful look, Wu Tong smiled and said: "What are you worried about? Even if a war breaks out, people like you are still responsible for logistics. They can just refine elixirs in the rear. You don't have to work as hard as Dharma cultivators..."
"When that time comes, I'm afraid no one can be alone."
"That's true. If that time comes, if there are no strong PoXu guards to guard it, even large sects like Kunlun, Shushan, and Emei will be at risk of being destroyed."
"Tell me, where is the Poxu ancestor of the sect? He has not shown up for hundreds of years..."
"They must be practicing in seclusion and seeking breakthroughs. When they reach that state, they are only one step away from becoming a heavenly being. Who is willing to let thousands of years of practice return to dust? For them, the sect is already something outside the body..."
…
While chatting wordlessly with Wu Tong, Li Yu glanced away and saw a Kunlun disciple running past them in a hurry and into the main hall where several Yuanying Patriarchs were.
After a while, when he walked out of the hall and passed in front of them, Li Yu stretched out his hand to stop him and asked: "Senior Brother Han, look at you in a hurry, what happened?"
The Kunlun disciple smiled and said: "It's a good thing for us in Kunlun. Tomorrow's third-grade alchemist competition, Tiandao Sect actually took out a pregnancy pill as a reward..."
Li Yu was stunned when he heard this. The Pregnant Infant Pill is a fifth-level elixir. No one else except Kunlun can refine it. Has anyone in Tiandao Sect been promoted to a fifth-level alchemy master? Even if they have, where did they get the materials?
The Kunlun disciple said: "According to Tiandao Sect, they have obtained more than ten pregnancy pills from an ancient secret realm. Whoever gets the first place in the third-grade alchemy master competition tomorrow will get this pregnancy pill...
"
Upon hearing this, Li Yu's first reaction was that after this Immortal Dao Conference, there would probably be many talented cultivators willing to join the Tiandao Sect, including some who were powerful in the Golden Pill.
The elixir that can help condense the Nascent Soul and increase the lifespan of five hundred years has a fatal attraction for any immortal cultivator, especially those in the late stage of the Golden Elixir.
After that, he quickly thought that Tiandao Sect might be fully confident about tomorrow's third-grade alchemist competition.
Otherwise, they wouldn't set up such a valuable reward.
However, what confidence do they have to win the first place as a third-grade alchemist from Kunlun?
You must know that more than half of the third-level alchemists in the world of immortality are in Kunlun, and their strength is far superior to the alchemists of other sects.
The Tiandao Sect does not have such kindness to give the pregnancy pill to Kunlun for free.
More than a dozen pregnancy and baby pills were picked up in vain. Li Yu felt sour when he heard that. If he had such luck, not only would he not have to worry about conceiving a baby with five spiritual veins, but Jiang Li, Zhou Zixuan, and even Ling'er would also have their share.
…
Li Yu couldn't help complaining: "Why are there so many good things in these ancient secret realms..."
Wu Tongtong: "That is, including the Tiandao Sect, the alchemy, talisman, weapon refining, formation, and machine skills of all major sects are all inherited from the ancient sects. Even the names of the sects are inherited from others.
of……"
Li Yu asked doubtfully: "Since the ancient sect was so powerful, why are none of them missing now?"
Wu Tong scratched his head and said: "Well, for so many years, there has been no conclusion in the world of immortality. When the major sects discovered these ancient sect secret realms, there were no people there. Now everyone generally believes that they should be left behind.
I moved after I passed the inheritance..."
Li Yu said in astonishment: "Moving, where?"
Wu Tongtong: "Moving to a place with stronger spiritual energy, the spiritual energy of a world will become less and less as time goes by, and it will become more and more difficult for immortal cultivators to practice to a higher realm, just like the major sects
Having moved to various cave-heaven secret realms, those ancient sects should also have moved to other worlds with more spiritual energy, leaving only the sect’s inheritance for those who are destined to follow..."
The destined people Wu Tong was talking about were all the major sects today, including Tiandao Sect.
The thoughts of these ancient sects are the same as those of Li Yu's old friends who are about to expire. Even if they return to the ruins and leave, they must leave a legacy to future generations.
I don't know where they moved to. Apart from Xuantian and Lingyuan, there are obviously other big worlds.
Li Yu found that the more he chatted with Wu Tong, the less he knew about the world of immortality. Before the chat, he only had a few questions, but after the chat, he had more doubts...
…
Early on the next morning, at this Immortal Dao Conference, in addition to the competition for the Dharma Cultivation Talent List, the most watched alchemy competition officially began.
The level of alchemy in the world of immortality is closely related to every cultivator. Every exchange of alchemy will attract the attention of many people. When everyone in Kunlun came to the competition venue, they could only choose to fall from the sky, because there were already many people around the competition venue.
Being surrounded by people was overwhelming.
On the competition platform, where Kunlun was located, Li Yu found many acquaintances.
In addition to Zhao Wuliang, Chen Shu, Fang Jin, Huang Yuanji and other people who participated in the alchemy competition, there are also many familiar faces in the Faxiu lineage. Not only Zhou Han, Chang Ze, Cai Xing and others, Li Yu was familiar with them during Qi refining.
The genius, among the Seven Kunlun Sons, except for Senior Sister Xu who is in seclusion, and Senior Sister Qin who has never appeared, everyone else is here.
Senior Sister Qin's absence is not as expected by Li Yu. She likes to be clean and rarely appears in crowded places. She only participated in the last competition for the Talent List and should still be in the sect now.
However, among the remaining five people, Li Yu only knew Lu Xingzhou and Hua Yun, whom he had met once before, while the other three met them for the first time.
Although the Seven Sons of Kunlun are often discussed together, there is actually a big gap between them.
Senior Sister Qin's talent is unique, and she is one of the best in the entire world of immortality.
Senior Sister Xu's talent is not as good as hers, but she is also very close to the Heavenly Spiritual Vein. Her fame is not limited to Kunlun. Even if you look at the Tiandao Sect, you can't find anyone with better talent than her.
Except for the two of them, the other five are only somewhat famous within Kunlun. Outside Kunlun, not many people know about them.
The Alchemy Competition is Kunlun's home field. This time, Kunlun's disciples from the Tiandao Sect, whether they are Dharma cultivators or Formation Masters and Fulu Masters, they all came here to support their fellow disciples regardless of anything important.
Behind the crowd, Wu Tong held a spiritual conch in his hand and said to the conch: "I am Wu Tong. This is the site of the alchemy competition at the Immortal Dao Conference. The first-level alchemist competition is about to begin. The lineup sent by Kunlun is Cuiwei.
In the distant Kunlun Cave, Tongtian Peak, Tianzhu Peak, Feilai Peak..., soundproof formations were arranged on the platform squares of each peak. Within the formations, countless Kunlun disciples sat cross-legged and listened carefully.
The sound came from the huge spiritual conch suspended above their heads.
"The first-level alchemy competition has begun. Ten first-level alchemists from the sect have entered the venue. The first round of refining is the Qi Recovery Pill. No one has finished refining it yet. I will report to you the follow-up situation as soon as possible.
…”
A group of Kunlun disciples sat quietly in the formation. The location of the alchemy competition was in the distant Tiandao Sect. They were in Kunlun and could learn the news about the scene immediately.
Although the entry fee of fifty spirit coins is not low, the Immortal Dao Conference only happens once every five years, so some disciples who value the sect's honor very seriously are still willing to spend this money.
Tiandao City, Alchemy Competition Site.
The alchemy competition was conducted one by one. When the first-grade alchemist competed, Li Yu watched from the stands.
In the first game, a total of two hundred people competed.
Among them, the ten major sects of the righteous path have ten people from each sect, which can be less than ten, but cannot exceed. The other one hundred people come from casual cultivators and some small and medium-sized sects. At every Immortal Dao Conference, Tiandao Sect will also give them
Opportunity, this also invisibly expanded the influence of Tiandao Sect in casual cultivators and small and medium-sized sects.
The people in Kunlun are actually not worried about the results of this competition. Kunlun is still in an absolute leading position in the alchemy field. There are countless outstanding first-level alchemists, and many outstanding alchemists cannot get a quota.
It can be said that Kunlun's first-grade alchemy master competition is even more fierce than the first-grade alchemy master exchange competition in the Immortal Dao Conference.
In a corner of the stands, Li Yu was reading a book.
In the first-level alchemy master competition, five furnaces of elixirs must be refined in a row. Among them, the Qi Restoration Pill is required by everyone. For the other four elixirs, the alchemist can choose the first-level elixir that he is good at.
This kind of rule is obviously more fair, reduces the impact of accidental factors, and makes it impossible to operate in a secretive manner.
Refining five furnaces of elixirs, plus adjusting the rest time, took almost a whole day. Jiang Li, Zhou Zixuan and the three Emei sisters could not stay any longer and took Ling'er out for a walk.
Li Yu did not accompany them, but was studying the notes of the fourth-level formation master in Huashan.
The complete method of formation actually also includes talismans and weapon refining, but just like an alchemist does not need to cultivate spiritual herbs and elixirs by himself, nor does he need to purify the spiritual liquid by himself, refining formation plates, formation flags, and carving formation patterns are all
It can be completed by a skilled weapon refiner and talisman master.
With the formation plate and formation flag, it is enough to have the skills to set up the formation, but this kind of formation is dead. The truly powerful formation can be controlled by the formation master, it is infinitely changeable, and its power is much more powerful than the fixed formation.
If you want to control the formation, you must first understand the formation. This is Li Yu's weakness. However, controlling the formation is relatively simple. With these formation notes, he can catch up quickly.
What is really difficult is to find the position of the formation eye in the ever-changing formation.
This requires precise calculations and perfect control of timing. It is generally believed in the formation community that this ability mainly depends on talent, just like alchemy. Acquired efforts are important, but more importantly, it is innate.
Alchemy talent.
Fortunately, Li Yu could skip this step. Breaking the formation was like an open-book exam for him.
As long as he memorizes these high-level formations, his theoretical knowledge will reach the level of a fourth-level formation mage.
Several alchemists from Kunlun saw that Li Yu was engrossed in reading, and curiously took a look. The dense formation patterns and calculations on the pages made them feel dizzy.
This also made them admire Li Yu even more.
Before the alchemy competition, he was actually still reading the formation book. No wonder he was able to win the first place in the second-level and third-level formation master competitions in a row. No matter how hard you work, you will gain something. This is what everyone deserves...
Li Yu was immersed in the ocean of knowledge and could not feel the passage of time. It was not until the Kunlun disciples around him heard commotion from time to time that it affected his reading that he took his attention away from the formation book in his hand.
"what happened?"
"When did Tiandao Sect's first-grade alchemist become so powerful?"
"It's over, it's over. In this first-grade alchemy competition, we're afraid we're going to lose to the Tiandao Sect..."
Listening to the whispers of everyone, Li Yu glanced at the huge water curtain suspended in the void. On it were the real-time rankings of the contestants. The one ranked first at the moment was Song Zhixuan of Tiandao Sect.
Li Yu had already experienced Song Zhixuan's alchemy attainments. He had once surpassed all the first-level alchemy geniuses in Kunlun, and he must have been promoted to the second level long ago. It was probably because of this Immortal Dao Conference that he had not been promoted.
Compared to the competition between second- and third-level alchemists, Kunlun is not sure of success in the first-level alchemy competition. The difficulty of first-level elixirs is limited and it is not easy to widen the gap.
However, among the current top ten disciples, except for one from Emei, Tiandao Sect actually accounts for six, while Kunlun only has three. More importantly, the top three are all Tiandao Sect disciples, which is very surprising.
.
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man carrying a wine flask glanced at the corner of his mouth with disdain and whispered: "This kind of small competition, if the God Transformation stage ends in person, Tiandao Sect really has no shame at all..."
