Chapter 130 One Year
After sending the witch away, Li Yu's life returned to normal.
In addition to refining pills and practicing magic spells every day, he also assists the headmaster in handling some affairs of the sect.
The sun goes and the moon comes, time passes in a flash.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
In a hall at Yuxuan Peak.
Li Yu collected the magic fire, and in the third-grade alchemy furnace in front of him were three top-grade Tuomai Pills.
Over the past year, the supply of dozens of Tuomai Pills every month finally allowed him to cultivate the Five Spiritual Veins to perfection within a year, and successfully passed the third-grade alchemist assessment.
Half a year ago, Zhou Zixuan was accepted as a disciple by Grandmaster Xuan Zhen. He enjoyed the share of Tuomai Pills from the Great Elder's direct disciple every month. In addition to the share from being Li Yu's Taoist companion, he also completed his foundation building two days ago. In terms of magic power alone, he is not inferior to Elder Sun back then.
Li Yu has also obtained the six golden elixirs.
This is a breakthrough elixir from foundation building to golden elixir. It has similar effects to the foundation building elixir and is a fourth-grade elixir. Only eight fourth-grade alchemists, three fifth-grade alchemists, and the legendary ancestor in Kunlun can refine it. Each one is extremely precious and is the elixir that countless people in the late foundation building stage dream of.
The pills are ready, but Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan cannot take them immediately.
The process of foundation building and elixir formation is extremely similar. Both require compressing the magic power in the spiritual veins. After the Qi refining is complete, the gaseous magic power needs to be compressed into liquid. The magic power in the foundation building period is originally liquid, so it needs to be further compressed into a solid state to form a golden elixir.
This period of time is not short and is related to one’s talent for cultivation.
Only the Heavenly Spiritual Vein does not need to worry about bottlenecks. As long as the foundation is built perfectly, there is no need to compress mana. All you need to do is take a Golden Spirit Pill.
Under the Heavenly Spiritual Vein, a genius like Senior Sister Xu, relying entirely on herself, would need several years to compress her magic power to the point where she could take the realm-breaking pill.
For those with less talent, it may take longer, and decades is normal.
Of course, there are always shortcuts in spiritual practice. If you have dozens of Golden Spirit Pills, you can skip the process of compressing mana. But Li Yu learned from Wang Hua that the materials for fourth-grade pills are extremely limited. Although the sect has eight fourth-grade alchemists, they can only refine three Golden Spirit Pills each month.
The six in his hand were Kunlun's share for two full months.
It is not easy for the sect to achieve this step .
There are so many disciples in the foundation-building stage of Kunlun. The Tuomai Pills and the Jinling Pills, especially the latter, are extremely precious. Each one is highly sought after after it is produced. During this year, the shares he and Zhou Zixuan received were all obtained from other Nascent Soul ancestors and even from the God Transformation ancestor, which affected the shares of many second-generation immortals in the sect and also caused dissatisfaction among them.
The head master has already done his utmost in providing benefits to Li Yu. He has to walk the rest of the way on his own.
Li Yu tried to compress his mana on his own, but found the process extremely difficult. Even though his mana was five times that of an ordinary late-stage foundation-building cultivator, it was difficult to compress the liquid mana that filled his spirit veins too much.
It is no wonder that so many people in the late stage of foundation building were eventually stopped before this barrier. For cultivators with a little talent, although foundation building is difficult, they can be achieved by persevering. However, countless geniuses have died in the struggle to break through from the "Qi" realm to the "Dan" realm.
After completing his foundation building, the first thing Li Yu did was to go to Lingyun Peak to take the third-grade alchemist assessment.
His current identity is only that of a second-grade alchemist. Only after becoming a third-grade alchemist can he become the true master of Yuxuan Peak, have the qualifications to refine Tuomai Pills, and receive more resources from the sect.
He and Zhou Zixuan have already completed their foundation building, and now it is Ling'er's turn.
The assessment for the third-grade alchemist went smoothly. The foundation of the five spiritual veins was completed. With the bonus of the alchemy furnace in his body, he could already refine top-grade meridian-expanding pills. Naturally, promotion to the third grade was not a problem.
He can refine five furnaces of Tuomai Pills every month, and he needs to hand over five to the sect, leaving ten for himself. Including the share exchanged with Tongmai Pills, he can get about twelve to thirteen pills, and save more than a hundred pills in a year.
His magic power could not be improved for the time being, so in the following days, Li Yu spent more time practicing martial arts.
Even without the Tuomai Pill, his martial arts practice was extremely smooth. In a year, without the help of external objects, relying only on his own practice, his true energy was comparable to the magic power of about ten Tuomai pills.
By this calculation, he would be able to form a true martial arts elixir in less than ten years.
On this day, Li Yu was practicing, and in the storage space, a spirit snail suddenly emitted a vibration.
This spiritual conch is used by Yuxu Peak to communicate with him. It should be that the headmaster has assigned him another task.
Ever since Li Yu became the head disciple, his cheap master has completely become a hands-off boss. Except for showing up once a month at the regular meeting of all Nascent Soul masters, he spends the rest of his time in seclusion practicing.
The major affairs of the sect are decided by the Yuanying ancestors, while minor matters are handled by Li Yu.
When he arrived at Yuxu Palace, Li Yu found that there were quite a few people here. In addition to the head master, Li Yu also saw several people from Tianyin Sect. On their chests, there was an embroidered guqin logo. Among them was a young man of similar age to him. Li Yu was not unfamiliar with him. This person was named Chen Gong, one of the Five Notes of Tianyin. The two met in Tiandao City.
Chen Gong clasped his fists towards Li Yu and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Brother Li, on your promotion to a third-grade alchemist."
Li Yu also clasped his fists in return and said, "It's been a year since we last met. Brother Chen is even more impressive than before."
Although the two knew each other, they were just gentlemen friends. After a few casual pleasantries, Wang Daoxuan said to Li Yu: "This time, several elders of Tianyin Sect came to Kunlun because they have something and want to ask you for help."
Li Yu did not respond directly. After all, he didn't know what kind of help he was asked to provide. Although the strength of Tianyin Sect was not as good as Kunlun, it was also a major righteous sect with powerful masters who had reached the stage of Divine Transformation. What was there that required the help of a person in the Foundation Establishment Stage?
In case of danger, he also has room to refuse.
Being kind to others is one thing, but it does not mean being a pushover. In all things, your own safety should be the most important.
A Jindan elder from the Tianyin Sect said, "It's like this. There is a formation in the ancient Tianyin Secret Realm. We would like Fellow Daoist Li to help break it. Regardless of whether we succeed or not, our sect will reward you handsomely."
Today, all major sects in the world of immortal cultivation are inherited from some ancient sect.
The Tianyin Secret Realm is where the ancient Tianyin Sect is located.
Li Yu learned from the elder that the Tianyin Sect wanted to break a formation in the secret realm and obtain the things inside, but the ancient formation was extremely complex and could not be broken violently, otherwise the things inside would be lost.
Over countless years, the Tianyin Sect has invited countless formation masters, but none of them have been able to crack it. As time goes by, the space of the Tianyin Secret Realm has become increasingly unstable, and now only those below the Jindan stage are allowed to enter.
If one wants to get the things in the formation, one needs a person with a cultivation level no higher than Golden Core and extremely high attainments in formations.
Li Yu performed extremely well in the exchange among formation masters at the last Immortal Dao Conference, and the people from Tianyin Sect found Kunlun.
Li Yu didn't think about this request for long before agreeing to it.
This is a piece of cake for him, and he can also make Tianyin Sect owe him a favor. Why not do it?
Without wasting time, Li Yu immediately left Kunlun and followed the people from Tianyin Sect to the ancient Tianyin secret realm. What Tianyin Sect wanted was on a pagoda. On the top floor of the pagoda, on a jade table in the center, there was an ancient music score.
Of course, this is not a simple musical score. Sound spells must be accompanied by special musical scores to exert their maximum power.
But the jade table was covered by an extremely delicate formation. If it was violently broken by using tyrannical magic power, the items in the formation would be destroyed as well. As a result, the Tianyin Sect has not obtained the music score until now.
No matter how complicated the formation is, in Li Yu's eyes, it is not difficult at all.
He easily found the center of the formation, took out the ancient music score and handed it to the Tianyin Sect.
As a thank you, Tianyin Sect gave him a guqin and a sect membership token.
The grade of this ancient zither magic instrument has reached the top grade and can be used by the Jindan stage. It was made by the ancient Tianyin Sect. Li Yu practiced sound magic and just happened to be in need of a handy magic instrument.
Yuxuan Peak.
An ancient zither was floating in the air. Li Yu casually plucked the strings. With a "clang" sound, several deep marks instantly appeared on the ground not far away.
Music spells can be used for both offense and defense. When combined with different music scores, they can also seduce the enemy or inspire teammates.
more importantly.
grace.
Killing the enemy invisibly while playing the music is considered the most elegant of all magic spells.
Li Yu couldn't let go of this new magical instrument. He played with it for more than an hour. When he was about to put it away, he seemed to have discovered something. He held the instrument and shook it, and a sound came from the hollow body of the instrument.
