Chapter 135: Dan Formation
Li Yu returned to Kunlun and was busy for a few days. A few days later, when he came to the Zhao State Temple again, he found that the number of believers in the temple was several times less than three days ago, and the power of faith had also been greatly reduced.
The wish list in the wooden box is already full and can no longer be put in.
Of course he also knew the reason.
People are realistic. If they want to continue to attract believers, they must always maintain a certain sense of presence in front of people, otherwise they will soon be forgotten and naturally will not be able to gain faith.
But in this way, he doesn't have to do anything except helping these believers realize their wishes.
This is not a solution.
The power of faith of a mortal is extremely weak, and it takes a lot of time and energy to maintain it. His efforts are not proportional to his gains, and may even be worse than his own practice.
He had to find some help.
So, after returning to Kunlun, Li Yu asked Wu Tong to help publish a job notice in the Kunlun Monthly.
He planned to recruit several disciples to be responsible for the daily maintenance of the temple, help the people and recruit believers.
Most of the people's demands can be met by disciples in the Qi Refining Stage.
Each disciple is paid two hundred spirit coins per month.
This reward is extremely generous for ordinary disciples. They can get several times more spirit coins than usual without doing any dangerous tasks. The only drawback is that the secular spiritual energy is thin, which is not conducive to practice.
But this is not a problem at all in the face of spiritual coins.
Two hundred spirit coins per month can be exchanged for a Tongmai Pill in five months, which can completely make up for the lack of spiritual energy.
Once this job announcement was issued, the number of applicants exceeded 500 within one day, but Li Yu initially planned to recruit only five people.
Wu Tong handed the thick list to Li Yu and asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to help those mortals?"
Li Yu did not tell him about the power of faith. He smiled and said, "I grew up in Zhao State. Now that I have the ability, I want to do something for the people of my motherland."
Wu Tong did not doubt anything and said, "In fact, you don't need to spend spirit coins on these things. With your status as the master disciple, you can just give an order, and the Zhao royal family will have to do things properly. The disciples of the sect will also be at your disposal..."
Wu Tong's words were like a wake-up call to those who were still dreaming.
Li Yu almost forgot that Kunlun was the only master within a radius of thousands of miles.
These secular dynasties are nothing more than vassals of Kunlun.
Whether it is the change of dynasties or the change of royal family leaders, it is all a matter of a word from the head of Kunlun.
There is no need for a head monk; an elder in the Jindan stage can decide the rise and fall of a secular dynasty.
Immortal cultivators cannot interfere in the secular world. This is to restrict ordinary disciples and prevent them from doing whatever they want by relying on their strength. However, in the name of the sect, they can directly restrain the secular dynasties.
Ask them to build some immortal temples, cooperate with Kunlun disciples, serve the people, eliminate evil, and punish corrupt officials. They dare not disobey.
For Kunlun, this is a very small matter. Li Yu can decide on his own without even the need for the elders to discuss it.
After saying goodbye to Wu Tong, Li Yu came to a mountain.
When the disciples of Shoufeng saw Li Yu, they immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Li."
He was puzzled. Jade Emperor Peak was a quiet place for worldly affairs. No one came here on weekdays. What happened today that brought this important person here...
Li Yu summoned the resident elder of Jade Emperor Peak and quickly gave an order.
From now on, a garrison will be set up in every city of the thirty-seven countries under Kunlun's jurisdiction. Each garrison will be staffed with five disciples above the fourth level of Qi Refining, who will be rotated on a monthly basis. Their duties are to understand the people's sentiments and supervise the government. The government of each country also needs to cooperate with these Kunlun disciples.
These disciples stationed outside the city are paid generously, and their monthly spiritual coins come from Yuxuan Peak.
Li Yu had more spirit coins than he could spend, and the resources he needed for his practice could not be bought with spirit coins. It was a good opportunity to spend those accumulated spirit coins.
The foundation-building elder of Jade Emperor Peak did not ask any questions about this matter and went down to make arrangements.
Not to mention setting up another garrison, even if the head disciple asked the emperors of these countries to abdicate, they would have to do so.
He was just wondering why the master's disciple would be interested in mortal affairs, but he didn't ask any more questions and just performed his duties honestly.
The identity of the master's disciple was really useful. Li Yu went to Jade Emperor Peak and did not ask about the matter after he came back. However, the people of Jade Emperor Peak were still very efficient. In just one month, countless bases of various countries were built.
The most important reason is the strong cooperation of those secular dynasties.
Firstly, this was Kunlun's order, and they dared not neglect it. Secondly, having Kunlun disciples living in the secular world was also a good thing for them, as it was conducive to maintaining long-term stability in the country.
On the contrary, those corrupt officials, or local thugs and bullies, are all terrified, fearing that they will be reported by the people. In the past, they did not take the people seriously, but now with the intervention of the Immortal Master, any background and means of theirs seem particularly pale.
In a very short period of time, the residence of Kunlun disciples became a place of worship visited by people from all over the world, surpassing all secular temples.
Li Yu deeply realized the benefits of being organized.
There are thirty-seven countries and hundreds of garrisons, which means hundreds of immortal temples. If he were asked to go to each place to help the poor and needy, and also to use tricks to get others to build temples, how long would it take to build them? But through the sect, one month would be enough.
In those garrisons, Li Yu did not erect his own statue, but instead used the alchemy furnace, the symbol of Kunlun.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a statue or a furnace; what matters is the drop of blood in it that can absorb the power of faith.
Li Yu visited the headquarters of various countries. Perhaps because it was easier for individuals to form faith, the speed at which these sect headquarters collected the power of faith was far slower than that of the immortal temple he personally managed. However, their numbers were large. With hundreds of headquarters added together, the power of faith accumulated every month was also extremely huge.
Yuxu Palace.
Wang Daoxuan, who had just come out of retreat, checked Li Yu's cultivation, nodded, and asked, "I heard that you have arranged new Kunlun bases in various countries?"
Li Yu said: "I think that the people of all countries are also the people of Kunlun. As immortal cultivators, we should also understand the sufferings of the people. I wanted to consult Master before making a decision, but Master was in seclusion at the time, so I made the decision myself..."
Wang Daoxuan waved his hand and said, "There is no need to ask me for permission for such a small matter. You have done a good job on this matter. However, are you paying for the remuneration of the external disciples yourself?"
Li Yu said: "After all, it was me who proposed this matter, so I don't want to let the sect spend money."
Wang Daoxuan said: "The sect can still afford this amount of spirit coins. The sect has the reputation, but you have to pay for it. This is too unreasonable. Starting this month, you don't have to pay for these spirit coins. I will also let the sect give you the previous ones."
Li Yu was determined not to take the spiritual coins that had already been issued.
It's really embarrassing to ask for it. After all, on the surface he is fighting for the reputation of the sect, but in fact he is also seeking personal gain. It is reasonable for him to pay some spirit coins, otherwise it would be a complete freeloader.
The establishment of hundreds of sect headquarters completely liberated Li Yu.
He only needs to harvest the power of faith once at a fixed time.
A few days later, Li Yu went to the capital of Zhao State and brought Zhou Zixuan and Ling'er back.
Both of them have completed their foundation building, but Ling'er is still in the early stages of foundation building. Li Yu feeds it all of the extra Tuomai Pills every month, and its strength is increasing day by day.
Time flies, and another half a year has passed.
During this period, Li Yu mostly spent time in Kunlun, and occasionally went to Emei to help them refine some pills.
In half a year, Ling'er took dozens of Tuomai Pills, and her strength gradually reached the peak of foundation building. Under Li Yu's guidance, she also began to compress the magic power in her spiritual veins.
The process of forming elixir is the same for humans and monsters.
They all need to compress the liquid magic power in the spirit veins to the extreme, and finally condense it into a pill. The one condensed by humans is called a golden pill, and the one condensed by monsters is called a monster pill. After the monster pill is formed, the monster can rely on the power of the monster pill to transform into a human.
A few days later, a spiritual boat left Kunlun Cave Heaven and quickly disappeared into the sky.
In a Taoist temple in Fengzhou, Chen State.
This Taoist temple is very popular, and people come to burn incense in an endless stream. They line up in a long queue and walk into a large hall, where they kowtow respectfully towards an incense burner enshrined in the hall.
This incense burner represents the Kunlun School.
People don’t know much about Kunlun Sect, after all, it belongs to the world of immortal cultivation, but they know that because of the existence of Kunlun Sect, the bullies in Fengzhou who oppressed the people have disappeared one after another in the past six months, and some corrupt officials have also been dealt with one by one by the court.
Not only can one seek redress and receive medical treatment here, but even if crops are suffering from drought, after seeking help here, an immortal master will call the wind and rain and solve the problems for the people.
The lives of the people of Fengzhou have undoubtedly become better in the past six months.
Every day, countless people come here to pray or fulfill their vows.
Li Yu did not alarm the Kunlun disciples here. He quietly took away the power of faith accumulated over the past six months, and then rushed to the next stronghold.
Kunlun has jurisdiction over thirty-seven countries. Although they are all small countries with small populations, there are about ten strongholds in each country on average. He needs to visit each one once. It was a month later when he walked out of the last fairy temple with his statue.
It takes a month just to collect the power of faith.
With so much power of faith, the effect is enormous.
Even if Li Yu could only obtain one tenth of it, the mana in the five spirit veins had been compressed to the extreme. Li Yu could not compress it any further by himself, and the power of faith no longer worked.
The excess power of faith even widened his Ren and Du meridians several times.
Yuxuan Peak, in a quiet room somewhere.
Li Yu adjusted his condition to the best, took out a precious golden elixir, and after a slight hesitation, put it into his mouth.
As the Golden Spirit Pill entered his mouth, it turned into a warm current and merged into his Golden Spirit Veins.
Within the Golden Spirit Vein, the liquid magic power had already been compressed to the extreme. After encountering the warm current, it showed signs of collapse again, but it only collapsed halfway before stopping again.
Li Yu had no choice but to take another Golden Spirit Pill.
But this pill chose the Fire Spirit Vein.
After taking five Golden Spirit Pills, Li Yu was a little dumbfounded. These pills were really impartial. Every spiritual vein had a turn, but in the end, none of the spiritual veins could successfully form a pill.
He finally understood what Elder Sun had felt back then.
Although it was extremely painful, there was nothing that could be done. With such talent, the path of cultivation would require more elixirs than those of true geniuses.
There is still one last golden elixir left in Li Yu's hand.
This pill was originally intended for Zhou Zixuan.
However, given the speed at which she compresses her magic power, she won't be able to use it in a short period of time. I'll find a way to help her refine another one when the time comes.
After all, after he formed the elixir, his magic power became more condensed and pure. With the help of the witch's spiritual fire, it should not be a problem for him to refine a mid-grade or high-grade fourth-grade elixir.
As for the materials for the Golden Spirit Pill, the Xuanyin Sect definitely has them, but they just don't have a fourth-grade alchemist to help them refine it.
Soon, Li Yu made a decision in his mind.
Without much hesitation, he put the last Golden Spirit Pill into his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth and chose the fire spirit vein that had failed to form a pill just now.
After the pill was integrated into the spiritual vein, Li Yu clearly felt something different. With a certain point in the spiritual vein as the center, a powerful gravitational force suddenly came, like a black hole. The magic power that had been condensed to the extreme began to collapse towards that point.
In an instant, the magic power in Li Yujin's spiritual vein disappeared.
Instead, there was a golden pill in the Dantian.
This pill is only the size of a cherry, golden in color, with a faint pattern on it.
The five elements of the golden elixir have different colors. Gold, wood, water, fire and earth have different attributes. They are gold, green, blue, red and yellow respectively. The first golden elixir that Li Yu formed was the gold one.
He could feel that there was extremely pure magic power in this golden elixir, which he could use freely. Meanwhile, traces of spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth also flowed into his dantian through the spiritual veins and merged into the golden elixir.
This tiny pill is the source of magical power for practitioners in the Jindan stage.
Compared with the improvement in strength, Li Yu can also clearly feel the improvement in his life level.
This golden elixir provided him with an endless supply of vitality.
After the golden spirit vein forms a pill, there is another change.
Li Yu discovered that he could no longer perform the Qi Concealment Technique.
The five spiritual veins can only merge with each other to achieve the effect of concealing breath when the magic power is similar. Now that the magic power of the golden spiritual vein has been upgraded to a great level, the breath concealing technique and the breath observing technique based on the breath concealing technique can no longer be performed.
It was for this reason that when he went to Yuzhu Peak to meet Jiang Li, his current level of cultivation was seen through by Master Xuanzhen at a glance.
Even the late Nascent Soul Master Xuan Zhen was shocked at this moment , and asked in disbelief: "You have formed a pill so quickly?"
Li Yuxiu's five spiritual veins were able to form a golden elixir in less than two years. If he had not taken a large amount of golden spiritual pills, it would be that his talent was seriously underestimated. Although this talent was not as good as the heavenly spiritual veins, it was not inferior to the Qingxin, and was even better.
Of course, he couldn't tell anyone about the power of faith. Li Yu only told Master Xuan Zhen that he compressed his magic power step by step. When he couldn't compress it anymore, he started taking the Golden Spirit Pill, and then he formed a pill inexplicably...
Patriarch Xuanzhen was full of doubts.
It is well known that Li Yu has poor talent for cultivation.
However, during the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, his practice relied entirely on elixirs, and there was no way to prove it. Only after he had formed the elixir, the difference in talent could be truly reflected.
Judging from the speed at which he formed his elixir, his talent was definitely not bad. The speed at which she formed her elixir back then was not as fast as his. Who was the first to say that he had a poor talent for cultivation?
