Chapter 106: Secret Book of the Hehuan Sect
Li Yu and Xu Yi agreed to meet here again in three days. During these three days, he would help Li Yu purchase the purple gold from the disciples of the Soul Refining Sect. At that time, Li Yu would exchange it for two Qi Recovery Pills for one kilogram of purple gold. For every ten kilograms of purple gold, he would get a commission of one Qi Recovery Pill.
In this way, his own time was freed up.
His decision to expand the relationship with the Demonic Path was indeed correct. Now it is coming in handy, isn't it?
Soon, Li Yu left Zijin Cave Heaven and returned to Kunlun.
He didn't have many Qi-restoring pills left, so he had to buy some materials from the sect and refine a few more batches.
When they returned to Ziyun Peak, the three Zhao sisters, who had been staying here for several days, were also about to return to Emei. The elders who came to Kunlun to pick them up had already arrived.
The three sisters actually have good talents. Even if they are not as talented as Jiang Li and Senior Sister Xu, they are still above the core disciples of the big sects. It’s just that they started a little late. Emei still attaches great importance to their practice.
When sending them out, Li Yu politely said, "Come and play again when you have time."
Zhao Xiner said with a smile: "Okay, then we'll come back next month. Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Zhou, see you next month..."
Li Yu was speechless for a moment. He was just being polite, but he couldn't take back what he had said. He could only say, "See you next month..."
After seeing them off, Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan spent some time together before coming to the alchemy room.
With his current magic power, he can refine a furnace of elixirs like the Qi-Restoring Pill in a short while, and each furnace will produce ten top-grade pills. That furnace can definitely greatly increase his experience in alchemy. As he refines pills more and more times, he will be able to refine a very difficult pill like the Rejuvenating Pill and produce ten top-grade pills, without even the need for entrustment.
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s because his soul power has greatly increased, but now even if he is in a hosted body, he will not fall into complete unconsciousness and can still retain his consciousness.
This means that he can enter the "realm of heaven" anytime and anywhere without worrying about being discovered by others.
That kind of dazed state was too conspicuous. It would be fine if he entered it once or twice, but if he entered it three, five, or even eight or ten times, not to mention Zhao Guangxuan, I'm afraid that the Nascent Soul Patriarch and the God Transformation Patriarch of the sect would not be able to help but search his soul.
Three days later, Li Yu came to Zijin Cave Heaven again.
On the hill last time, Xu Yi had already been waiting there.
As soon as Li Yu landed, he came over impatiently and said, "Daoyou Li, one hundred kilograms of purple gold have been collected."
Even Li Yu was a little surprised at this speed and asked, "So fast?"
Xu Yi smiled and said, "It's the end of the month these two days. I have intercepted the purple gold in the hands of many disciples before they could sell it. Next time, we need to collect 100 kilograms. The earliest we can do so is by the end of next month..."
Li Yu said: "Time is limited. I have only refined 100 pills, and I still need 100. How about this, I will go back and refine another 100. Three days later, we will deliver the goods at the same place."
Xu Yi directly took out a hundred kilograms of purple gold from the storage ring and said with a smile: "I trust the character of Brother Li Daoist. You can take this purple gold first. You can give it to me whenever you have refined the elixir..."
Seeing the other party's generosity, Li Yu did not hesitate to give him ten bottles of elixirs and said, "Three days later, I will give you the rest when you come back here again."
After Xu Yi accepted the pill, he thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li can make the Bao Yuan Pill?"
Li Yu smiled and said, "To be honest, the elixir I am best at is the Baoyuan Pill."
Xu Yi said: "It's like this, I have a friend from the Hehuan Sect who wants a few bottles of Baoyuan Pills. Can I also exchange them for purple gold?"
Li Yu said: "Of course, the price is still the same, one pound of purple gold for two Baoyuan Pills."
Xu Yi asked tentatively: "My friend from the Hehuan Sect is now in the Purple Gold Cave Heaven. How about I call him over? Fellow Daoist Li can talk to him. There are also many disciples from the Hehuan Sect in this Purple Gold Secret Realm. If we add them, we can collect 100 kilograms of purple gold in less than a month..."
Li Yu waited there and asked Xu Yi to invite his friend from the Hehuan Sect.
He was not worried about any fraud. In this Purple Gold Cave Heaven, no one could threaten him.
Xu Yi didn't have any other thoughts at all. After leaving for a while, he flew over here with someone.
After the thin man landed, he quickly stepped forward, bowed to Li Yu, and said, "I am Tian Qi from the Hehuan Sect. I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Li's great name."
Li Yu clasped his fists in return and said, "You're welcome."
With a glance of his Qi-gazing technique, he was able to see through this man's cultivation level. Like Xu Yi, he had both spiritual veins at the peak of Qi refining. But unlike Xu Yi, his body was very weak. Even Chen Ming was not as weak as him. It was obviously the result of excessive indulgence.
However, if you don't indulge in excessive sexual activities, you would not be a disciple of the Hehuan Sect.
For the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, matters between men and women have long lost their original meaning and have become a form of spiritual practice.
Tian Qi said to Li Yu, "I heard from Daoist Xu that Daoist Li can buy Baoyuan Dan here?"
Li Yu said nothing, but took out a bottle of Baoyuan Dan and handed it to him.
Tian Qi opened the pill bottle, took a look, and couldn't take his eyes away.
Baoyuan Pill, top-grade Baoyuan Pill. This was the first time he had seen a top-grade Baoyuan Pill in his life.
For the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, dual cultivation is the practice. What they lack most is not the Qi-recovering pill, but the Yuan-preserving pill. The sect does have alchemists, but the Yuan-preserving pills they refine are basically of medium quality, and there are very few of high quality, let alone super-high quality.
Like him, many disciples of the Hehuan Sect were in extremely poor health, and even if they wanted to practice diligently, they were powerless.
It was different with the Bao Yuan Dan. Not only would his body not be depleted, but he could also practice for a long time. He had taken the top-grade Bao Yuan Dan several times, and the feeling was indeed different. Top-grade Bao Yuan Dan had such an effect. He could not even imagine the effect of the top-grade Bao Yuan Dan...
He reluctantly returned the pill bottle, licked his lips, and asked, "Can one pound of purple gold be exchanged for two Baoyuan Pills?"
Li Yu said: "Of course, if you don't believe me, ask Fellow Daoist Xu."
As Li Yu's first guest, Xu Yi took out his top-grade Qi-recovering pill and showed it to Tian Qi.
Tian Qi immediately said: "Fellow Daoist Li, from now on, I will give you all the purple gold from the Purple Gold Secret Realm and the disciples of the Hehuan Sect. Do you have so many Baoyuan Pills?..."
Li Yu could not refine elixirs of the second level and above due to the lack of the main materials, but the materials for the first level elixirs could be planted. As a first-grade alchemist, it was easy to obtain them. Li Yu smiled and said, "How many purple golds you have, how many Baoyuan Pills I have."
Soon, Li Yu finalized the business of Hehuan Sect.
Looking at this Hehuan Sect disciple, Li Yu remembered something and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, I have an unwelcome request. I wonder if it is presumptuous of me."
Tian Qi had something to ask of someone, so he immediately said, "You don't have to be polite, Brother Li, but you can say whatever you want."
Li Yu said: "Actually, I have always been very interested in your sect's secret technique of dual cultivation. I wonder if you could lend it to me to have a look?"
Tian Qi looked embarrassed, but he quickly made a decision. He took out two booklets from the storage space and said, "I am studying the sect's core secret book. In principle, it is not allowed to be passed on to outsiders. But since Fellow Daoist Li is interested, there is no problem..."
Sect principles are sect principles, but he really needs the top-grade Baoyuan Pill, and no one knows that it was he who passed it on anyway.
He glanced at Xu Yi, who looked away and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know anything."
Li Yu took the two books and asked with some confusion, "Why two?"
Tian Qi smiled and explained: "The Liang Yi Jing is a top-level dual cultivation secret technique, divided into the Yang Jing and the Yin Jing. The Yang Jing is practiced by men, and the Yin Jing is practiced by women. The combination of Yin and Yang is the Liang Yi dual cultivation method..."
Li Yu couldn't help but his eyes brightened.
What is professionalism?
This is called professionalism.
Li Yu thought of his book on the secret technique of dual cultivation. There were not so many details to it and there was no distinction between men and women. The Hehuan Sect was indeed the one that understood dual cultivation the best. It was obvious that they were very professional.
Li Yu opened the "Liang Yi Jing" and read it carefully. As expected, he found that the He Huan Sect's dual cultivation secret technique was much more advanced than his ordinary dual cultivation method. The reason why he and Zhou Zixuan's dual cultivation had no effect was not because they were not talented, but because they did not have the correct dual cultivation method...
He used his extraordinary memory to memorize all the secret techniques of dual cultivation, and then returned them to Tian Qi.
Afterwards, he made an appointment with Tian Qi that during these three days, Tian Qi would collect purple gold while Li Yu would go back to refine the elixir. After three days, they would make the transaction here. In order to thank Tian Qi for letting him read the secret book of dual cultivation, Li Yu also gave him a top-grade Baoyuan Pill.
The treatment he gave to Tian Qi was the same as that given to Xu Yi: one pound of purple gold and two Baoyuan Pills. For every ten pounds he collected, he would get one more pill. As for how he divided the money among the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, Li Yu did not care.
This kind of thing must benefit both of them, so that they will work hard for themselves.
After returning to Kunlun, Li Yu first went to Tianzhu Peak.
In a stone room, Li Yu moved a hundred kilograms of purple gold out of the storage space. The deacon disciple was stunned and asked in disbelief, "So fast?"
He remembered clearly that a few days ago, Li Yu had consulted him on how to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills. Less than ten days had passed, and he had already gathered 100 kilograms of purple gold. This was too fast...
For an ordinary disciple, it would take at least three to five years, or at most ten years, to refine a hundred kilograms of purple gold. Even if his magic power was profound, it would not be possible to do it that quickly, unless he was lucky enough to find an undiscovered purple gold mine...
But this is impossible. Over the past thousand years, the predecessors of both the righteous and evil paths have already plundered those low-level caves clean, and it is impossible for large chunks of purple gold to be left behind.
Li Yu looked at the deacon disciple and asked, "Can these purple golds be exchanged for a foundation-building pill?"
The deacon disciple came back to his senses and immediately nodded, "Yes, of course..."
He accepted the purple gold and walked to a larger stone chamber in the main hall. He quickly came out with a pill bottle and handed it to Li Yu, saying, "This is a foundation-building pill. Junior Brother Li, keep it."
After putting away the foundation-building pill, Li Yu turned and left the hall.
The deacon disciple was left standing there, puzzled...
After returning to Ziyun Peak, Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan studied a new secret technique of dual cultivation. At this time, in the Soul Refining Sect thousands of miles away.
A disciple of the Soul Refining Sect took a top-grade Qi-Restoring Pill from Xu Yi, and his expression was still stunned. He had never thought that what Senior Brother Xu said was actually true. A pound of purple gold could actually be exchanged for a top-grade Qi-Restoring Pill...
Looking at this beautiful pill with five elixir patterns on it, he instantly felt that all the sect’s pills were garbage.
After much difficulty in refining a pound of purple gold, I could only exchange it for a medium-quality recovery pill with two danwen. After taking one pill, my mana was not fully restored, and I had to spend a lot of time refining the poison in the pill. Pah, it's a rubbish pill, not even a dog would eat it.
He looked at Xu Yi with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Xu, starting from next month, all the purple gold I refine will be handed over to you..."
Xu Yi nodded and said, "If you have any friends who have purple gold, you can introduce them to me..."
At this time, in a remote stone house somewhere in the Soul Refining Sect, a deacon disciple who was responsible for collecting purple gold looked at the empty stone house, puzzled...
That's strange.
Every month at the end of the month, it is the day for all the disciples to exchange purple gold for elixirs. Last month, the disciples who lined up to exchange elixirs lined up from here to the door. This month, the first two days were normal, but today, more than half a day has passed, and there are less than ten disciples who have come here...
At the same time, Hehuan Sect.
Tian Qi walked out of the room with a look of ecstasy on his face.
After six hours, the effect of the top-grade Baoyuan Pill actually lasted for six hours, which is more than six times that of the mid-grade Baoyuan Pill.
With his extremely weak body, he could only satisfy one Taoist companion and could not practice for more than an hour. But today, after taking a Baoyuan Pill, he and several Taoist companions practiced for six hours in a row, setting a new record in his life...
At this time, he would definitely not be willing to take those inferior Baoyuan pills.
Thinking of the sect's elixirs that required time and effort to refine the poison after taking them, Tian Qi's face darkened.
Bah, it’s rubbish pill, even dogs won’t eat it!
Tian Qi didn't waste any time and immediately contacted some disciples in the sect who cultivated the Fire Spiritual Veins and the Gold Spiritual Veins. For one pound of purple gold, Li Yu gave him two Baoyuan Pills. If he only gave them one, there would be countless people willing to...
Baoyuan Pill is too important for the disciples of Hehuan Sect...
…
Kunlun Cave Heaven, Ziyun Peak.
Li Yu was holding a soft and delicate body in his arms, and he was amazed. After all, the Hehuan Sect was the Hehuan Sect, which was famous in the world of immortal cultivation for its dual cultivation method. The effect of practicing in the "Liang Yi Jing" was much better than his dual cultivation secret technique, which could save at least 20% of the practice time.
This means that a cultivator who takes five months to open one acupoint can shorten the time to four months through dual cultivation.
Twenty percent may not seem like a lot, but it takes hundreds of years for a cultivator to break through to a new realm. In the later stages, it may even take several hundred years to break through. Hundreds of years multiplied by twenty percent is no small number.
And this is not the limit of dual cultivation.
The more companions one has, the greater the benefits of dual cultivation will be. Some strong people who are proficient in dual cultivation can even save 50% of their practice time, which means that through dual cultivation, their talent can be doubled.
No wonder some of the powerful people in the sect are all in groups of Taoist companions. Doubling the talent is a huge temptation for any cultivator.
However, for those true geniuses, the effect of dual cultivation is not that great.
In the final analysis, dual cultivation is a way to make up for one's shortcomings.
Talent has its limits, and the Heavenly Spiritual Vein is the limit of a cultivator's talent.
If the talent of the Heavenly Spiritual Vein is 100, through dual cultivation, a person with 20 points of talent can increase it to 40 points at most, and a person with 30 points of talent can increase it to 50 points. The higher the talent, the more limited the improvement of dual cultivation will be. For people who already have max talent, dual cultivation will have no effect at all.
However, the uselessness here only applies to those who have five spiritual veins that are all heavenly spiritual veins. Such people do not exist in the world of immortal cultivation. As long as one of the spiritual veins they cultivate is not a heavenly spiritual vein, dual cultivation can help to increase the speed of cultivation.
Pills, talismans, formations, and refining equipment are actually all the same. They are all used to make up for the strength gap caused by talent. Ordinary people's demand for these external objects is much greater than those of geniuses.
Compared to top geniuses like Senior Sister Qin and Jiang Li, Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan are undoubtedly ordinary people.
Even if their talents were doubled, they still couldn't compare to the Heavenly Spiritual Veins. But after practicing dual cultivation, they originally only had the hope of reaching the Golden Core, but now they can look forward to the Nascent Soul...
Compared to those favored by God, people with mediocre talents need to try all kinds of ways to make up for the gaps in their innate deficiencies.
Dual cultivation is extremely energy-consuming. Zhou Zixuan has fallen into a deep sleep. Li Yu put on his clothes silently and went outside.
These two days, he has been focusing on practicing, and has not yet refined the elixir he promised to others.
However, with his speed, one day was enough. Li Yu came to the alchemy room and walked out after several hours. It didn't take much time to make a furnace of first-grade pills, but he made more than twenty furnaces in succession, so the total time was not short.
Fortunately, the entrance to the Purple Gold Cave Heaven was not far from the sect, and Li Yu arrived there in a moment by riding on the spirit boat.
In the Purple Gold Cave, Xu Yi and Tian Qi were waiting on a hilltop in the Central Mountain Range. The agreed time had already passed, so Tian Qi turned around and asked, "Is he not coming?"
He had promised many disciples that one pound of purple gold would be exchanged for a top-grade Baoyuan Pill. If Li Yu did not come, he would not be able to explain to those disciples.
Xu Yi patiently roasted a deer leg and said, "No, maybe something delayed him."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure broke through the air and landed in front of the two of them.
Li Yu clasped his fists towards the two and said, "I'm sorry, there are too many pills this time. I've been refining pills for the past three days, so I'm late..."
Tian Qi replied: "No, no, we just arrived too."
Tian Qi brought one hundred kilograms of purple gold, and Li Yu gave him two hundred top-grade Baoyuan Pills. He also gave him the one hundred Huiqi Pills that he owed Xu Yi last time. The three of them agreed to meet here at the same time next month, and then left.
Kunlun Cave.
Tianzhu Peak.
The deacon disciple looked at the 100 kilograms of purple gold in front of him with a confused and shocked expression.
In three days, another hundred kilograms.
It would be fine if the illusion trial was fast, but why was he also able to refine purple gold so quickly? Did he discover a purple gold mine?
