Chapter 133 The Power of Faith
Emei Cave Heaven.
After Li Yu came to Emei, he began to learn how to refine poison pills.
In the entire Emei, the only ones who can refine top-grade detoxification pills are Senior Sister Bai and the three sisters' master. However, she has to refine other pills every month, plus she practices, so she has no time to do so. A lot of materials for the detoxification pills have piled up.
Li Yu can produce three top-grade detoxification pills in one furnace, but he always maintains the level of one pill per furnace.
It's not that he withheld two pills, but before refining, he absorbed two portions of spiritual liquid, leaving only enough for one pill, so naturally he could only refine one.
The other two portions of spiritual liquid turned into the purest spiritual power, ninety percent of which was absorbed by the alchemy furnace, and one tenth was fed back to Li Yu to compress the magic power in the spiritual veins.
He refined the pills very quickly, and in just a few days, he had used up all of Emei's detoxification pill materials.
Li Yu handed all the pills to Bai Qingying, and then said: "It's not easy for you to come here. If you need any pills, I will make them for you."
After Bai Qingying consulted with the head of Emei, batches of alchemy materials were delivered to Li Yu.
Li Yu took a quick glance and found that they were all high-level materials, including the main materials of Tuomai Pills, third-level Qi Recovery Pills, Foundation Establishment Pills, etc. It seemed that they were really planning to get the most out of them, but they didn't know that Li Yu was also getting the most out of them.
The higher the level of the material, the more spiritual power it provides, and the more cracks the furnace can repair.
Li Yu was looking forward to continuing to repair the alchemy furnace and seeing what surprises it would bring him.
Except in the beginning when he didn't know how to refine pills and could only let the pill furnace absorb them and impact the acupuncture points at the same time, later, as his pill refining skills improved, he seldom let the pill furnace absorb those precious spiritual medicines and herbs. He would rather refine more pills and use them to exchange for spiritual coins or pills.
Now that he thought about it, this mysterious alchemy furnace was his real treasure, and his previous stingy behavior was really wrong.
In the Emei Cave Heaven, in a hall somewhere.
The head of Emei looked at the bottles of top-grade elixirs in front of him and felt only regret.
If any sect possesses Li Yu, it will no longer have to worry about refining high-level elixirs.
If they had kept him in Emei at all costs when he was still in the Qi Refining Stage, such an excellent alchemist would have become their Emei's person. Now he is one of the Seven Sons of Kunlun and a disciple of the head sect leader. Kunlun has poured a lot of resources into him and would never let him go.
Half a month later, Li Yucai finished refining the Emei elixir.
Emei is different from Kunlun. Kunlun has more alchemists but fewer materials, while Emei is just the opposite. They have fewer alchemists and their skills are generally not high. Many elixirs have to be purchased from Kunlun and Tiandao Sect. This time, all the materials in Emei's inventory were cleared out by him.
Bai Qingying asked Li Yu to stay in Emei for a few more days, but Li Yu declined.
He has stayed in Emei long enough, and the materials for the new Kunlun Moon should be delivered to Yuxuan Peak. He is eager to absorb the materials to repair the mysterious alchemy furnace and unlock new uses.
After returning to Kunlun, Li Yu began to refine without stopping.
Different from his previous efforts to refine more pills, this time, except for the minimum share required by the sect, he gave all of them to the Qiankun Furnace to absorb. After absorbing the spiritual power of so many spiritual medicines in recent time, the changes in the furnace were also obvious.
Although the large cracks on it have not changed much, the small cracks on the furnace body have almost all been repaired, becoming flat and smooth.
Yuxuan Peak.
Inside a hall somewhere, Li Yu had already refined all the medicine required by the sect this month, and absorbed all the remaining spiritual herbs and medicines.
Suddenly, Li Yu's expression changed and his consciousness sank into the alchemy furnace space.
It seemed that quantitative change led to qualitative change. After absorbing these spiritual herbs and medicines, he felt the movement of the alchemy furnace.
Suddenly, many golden spots of light appeared on the broken alchemy furnace, and they kept jumping on the furnace like tadpoles. When Li Yu was surprised, these jumping spots of light suddenly jumped out of the furnace and rushed into his consciousness.
Li Yu's consciousness returned to his body instantly, and at the same time, some more images appeared in his mind.
The first picture shows a sturdy figure on a vast land, defeating many ferocious beasts such as tigers and elephants with his bare hands. Many figures wearing animal fur skirts step on the carcasses of the animals, surround him and shout happily.
Then the picture changed.
That figure was standing high up, and below him were countless figures, kneeling on the ground, mumbling something, and kowtowed to him continuously.
A trace of strange power flew out of those people's bodies and poured into that figure.
The next moment, the picture changed again.
Those ancient humans began to build temples and statues, and the appearance of the statues was exactly the same as the figures they worshipped at the beginning. As the temples and statues were built, more and more people came to worship, and the strange power that emerged in their bodies was all absorbed by the statues.
The picture continues to change.
Countless temples and statues were built on the vast land. Gradually, the number of believers of the statues grew from dozens to thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even more...
After an unknown amount of time, the statues in the various temples suddenly shone brightly. Beams of golden light flew out from the statues and gathered together to form an incomparably huge ball of light, which was sucked into the body by a figure that looked exactly like the statues.
Then, a colorful glow appeared in the sky, and the figure flew into the glow and disappeared.
The picture disappeared, and a kind of enlightenment arose in Li Yu's mind.
This is a new way of practice!
A different path of cultivation that has nothing to do with talent, and is a way of improving one's cultivation by absorbing the power of other people's faith.
What emerges within the bodies of those mortals is the power of faith.
As an immortal cultivator, Li Yu helped them solve the difficulties that ordinary people could not solve, and gained their temporary faith.
This kind of power has nothing to do with whether it directly helps them, but only with their inner faith. That day, Li Yu performed miracles many times, and a faint power of faith also emerged from the bodies of some onlookers.
Other cultivators cannot directly absorb this power of faith.
This doesn't seem to be the practice system of this world.
Li Yu|The Qiankun Furnace in his body is similar to a converter, which can convert various energies into the magic power that Li Yu needs, and then feed it back to him.
Having owned this alchemy furnace for such a long time, Li Yu has become certain that this alchemy furnace is not from this world at all.
As far as he knew, in the Xuantian World, no magic weapon had this ability. Even the legendary immortal weapon did not have such a function.
Moreover, Li Yu always felt that this alchemy furnace was deliberately teaching him the method of collecting the power of faith.
After all, the one who benefited the most in this matter was not Li Yu, but it.
Out of ten percent of the power of faith, Li Yu could only get one percent at most, and ninety percent was withheld by it to repair itself.
This alchemy furnace seems to have its own consciousness...
However, Li Yu was not worried that this would be disadvantageous to him.
Without this alchemy furnace, he would not be where he is today. His life would have ended at the moment before he traveled through time. Living one more day would be a gain, not to mention having his current strength.
One person, one furnace, it can be said that they prosper together and suffer together.
Li Yu began to ponder this new way of cultivation on his own. This method is more like creating a god than cultivating immortals.
The more believers there are and the more sincere they are, the more power of faith they provide, and the faster the practice will be. Compared with cultivating immortals, the advantage is obvious, that is, no talent is required, as long as there are enough believers.
The problem is how to get so many believers and make them believe in themselves sincerely.
It is useless to build a temple and statue for yourself. If others do not believe, you cannot force them to believe. This kind of thing requires a voluntary act. Forcing will not work. But how can we make people willing?
Three days later, Li Yu left Kunlun and traveled quickly towards the State of Zhao.
After spending a few days with Zhou Zixuan and accompanying Ling'er, Li Yu started his plan.
Zhao State.
Capital city.
A month ago, a powerful immortal master appeared in the capital of Zhao State and performed many miracles in front of countless people.
Broken legs, blind eyes, or incurable diseases, these terminal illnesses of mortals are not difficult for the immortal master. He can easily cure them. A cripple who has been disabled for many years can jump up and down on the spot, jumping three feet high. A girl who was born blind can see the light immediately after the immortal master gently touches her head. A certain man who was unable to have sex eats the immortal master's elixir, and his wife becomes pregnant the next month, and the family's incense can be passed on...
Where has a mortal ever seen such a magical method?
They only know that there are immortal masters in this world, and each of them possesses powerful strength that can turn decay into magic. However, most of those immortal masters practice in caves in immortal mountains, pursuing the way to immortality, and are rarely seen by mortals.
Only the homes of powerful kings and nobles can worship a small number of immortal masters, but ordinary people cannot access them.
But this immortal master was different. He was not stingy with his immortal powers and rescued these distressed mortals on the street without asking for any reward. This was in sharp contrast to other immortal masters and he also had a very good reputation among the people in the capital of Zhao State.
Some of the people he rescued even set up long-term tablets for him at home and worshipped him day and night.
After the news spread, many people from the surrounding cities came to the capital, wanting to catch a glimpse of the Immortal Master. Unfortunately, ever since the Immortal Master displayed his magical powers and flew away in front of everyone a month ago, there has been no trace of him since then.
It was not until a month later that news of the immortal master began to spread around the capital.
An official in Kyoto who was honest and loved by the people unfortunately fell seriously ill. Even the imperial doctors were helpless and he was thought to be dying. But one day he was able to go to court on his own. Not only did he recover from his illness, but he also became as strong as a bull, not weaker than those young officials.
After asking around, everyone found out that it was a young and handsome immortal master who cured his illness and gave him a pill. After taking it, he immediately felt his body full of strength, as if he had returned to his youth.
Isn’t this young and handsome immortal master the one who appeared on the streets of the royal capital a month ago?
This matter has just caused people to talk about it, and new news has come.
There was a woodcutter in the suburbs, who was famous for his filial piety. He had always taken good care of his elderly mother. When he was young, he fought with a tiger to save his mother and the tiger bit off one of his arms. But one morning, when his neighbors saw him again, they found that his arm had grown back. After asking, they learned that he had met a young immortal master...
Things like this happened one after another near the capital of Zhao.
Many people have been helped by that immortal master.
It was obvious that the immortal master liked to help the poor people or those who were kind-hearted the most. For a time, wealthy businessmen near the royal capital began to build bridges and roads, and open their warehouses to make donations, hoping to be noticed by the immortal master. It would be even better if they could get the panacea bestowed by the immortal master.
Many people even spontaneously followed the Immortal Master's footsteps. Whenever the Immortal Master appeared, they would follow.
At this moment, hundreds of people gathered in a village west of the royal capital.
Early this morning, someone claimed to have seen the Immortal Master here. As the news spread, countless people rushed here, blocking this usually deserted village. It was a pity that the Immortal Master had already left.
Not seeing the Immortal Master, the crowd did not leave immediately, but gathered together and talked about the Immortal Master.
"The elixir that the immortal master gave me is so magical. It has allowed my Wang family to continue the incense business. I just want to thank him in person ..."
"Yes, I also want to thank the Immortal Master again. It was the Immortal Master who gave me a second life."
"I really envy you for having met the Immortal Master. I just want to meet the Immortal Master and ask if I have a chance to be an Immortal..."
"I want to ask the Immortal Master how to make a fortune!"
…
As the crowd was discussing, a voice suddenly appeared: "The Immortal Master has done so many things for the people. I propose to build a temple for the Immortal Master!"
The emergence of this suggestion quickly aroused discussion among people.
"That makes sense. We worship so many gods every year, but we have never seen those gods bless us."
"Those gods have temples, so the immortal master should have one too."
"Perhaps if the Immortal Master is happy, he will give us more elixirs."
“That’s a good suggestion!”
Just as this suggestion was recognized by everyone, someone else said, "Having a temple is not enough. It would be better to build a statue for the Immortal Master. This way, we have a place to worship the Immortal Master and don't have to run around everywhere like we do now..."
A wealthy man said, "I paid for the temple, no one can snatch it from me!"
Someone said dissatisfiedly, "I have also received the Immortal Master's kindness. Why should you go out? If we have to go out, we should go out together..."
"I am a painter. I will paint a portrait of the Immortal Master when I return."
"I'm a stonemason. I'll carve the Immortal Master's statue!"
"I have no money, and no skills, but I have strength. You must call me when you build the temple..."
…
Building a temple and erecting a statue for the immortal master was what everyone wanted, and no one opposed it. Within a quarter of an hour, everyone had discussed the division of labor. Those who had money contributed money, and those who had strength contributed their strength. After another half a quarter of an hour, even the location of the temple was chosen, and it was decided to start construction the next day.
The person who first proposed to build a temple and a statue for the Immortal Master was also praised by everyone. When everyone wanted to find him and thank him, they found that he had quietly left, hiding his merits and fame...
