Chapter 136 Acting Master
Yuzhu Peak.
Inside a certain hall, Xu Qingxin looked Li Yu up and down with an incredulous look in her eyes, and indeed felt the fluctuations of Jindan-stage magic power from him.
In less than two years, he went from building the foundation to forming the elixir. Even with the help of various elixirs, it was an incredible thing. At least it showed that his talent was not as bad as the rumors said.
On the contrary, this kind of talent is only below the Heavenly Spiritual Vein.
You know, although Junior Sister Jiang's heavenly spiritual vein had already formed a golden elixir, no other spiritual vein, even with the sect's resources, has yet to form a golden elixir.
Xu Qingxin looked at Li Yu in astonishment, and asked in confusion: "You formed the elixir so quickly, so your practice in the Qi Refining Stage should not be slow either. What did you do when you were practicing in Baiyun Temple?"
Beside Li Yu, Jiang Li recalled the past and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
At that time, she was the one who forced Li Yu to go down the mountain with her to eat, drink and have fun. Doesn't that mean that she was the one who delayed Li Yu at that time?
After taking a look at Jiang Li, Li Yu knew what she was thinking and gently touched her head to comfort her.
When Jiang Li was at Baiyun Temple, he did spend more time playing.
But Li Yu was really practicing hard, but with such talent, his serious practice was not as good as others who just played around.
But he did not explain that after forming the pill, in addition to his own practice, he could also practice by absorbing the power of faith and the spiritual energy of various alchemy materials. Even if his practice speed was not as fast as that of the Heavenly Spiritual Vein, it would not be too slow. Now everyone thought that his original talent was good, so there was no need to explain it later.
There are quite a few Jindan stage disciples in Kunlun, more than two hundred in total. Although it is far less than that of the Tiandao Sect, it can still rank second among the orthodox sects. The successful formation of a foundation-building stage disciple is not a big deal. Every year, people in Kunlun form golden elixirs, and some Jindan elders die, but it usually does not cause widespread discussion within the sect.
But if this person is Li Yu, then the meaning is different.
This means that the previous news about his poor talent in cultivation were all rumors. Not only does he have an amazing talent in alchemy, his talent in cultivation is also not bad. In a few years, it is very likely that he will be another fifth-grade alchemist and a powerful person in the sect.
Even the head master summoned Li Yu to Yuxu Palace and asked him in detail about his cultivation.
When Li Yu formed the elixir, he seemed happier than Li Yu.
In Yuxu Palace, Wang Daoxuan patted Li Yu's shoulder with a smile and said, "I was originally worried that with your talent, handing the sect's affairs to you would delay your cultivation. Now it seems that I was worrying too much. From today on, I will be in seclusion for a long time. All the sect's affairs will be handed over to you. If you can't decide, call the elders to discuss it..."
After coming out of Yuxu Palace, Li Yu's identity changed again.
He went from being the headmaster's disciple to the acting headmaster in a daze. When the headmaster was in seclusion, he was responsible for handling some major and minor affairs within the sect, while his cheap master became a completely hands-off boss.
As soon as this news came out, it caused quite a heated discussion in Kunlun.
In Kunlun’s history, Li Yu is not the first acting headmaster in the Jindan period.
The head of the second largest sect in the righteous way is often the most outstanding among his peers. Talent, strength and prestige are all indispensable. In addition to handling sect affairs, spiritual practice is equally important to them.
And when they are in seclusion to practice, they need someone to handle the sect's affairs on their behalf.
This person is usually the master's disciple.
The head master has only two disciples.
Although Senior Sister Qin is extremely talented and the most talented among her generation, she is devoted to cultivation and does not care about worldly affairs. Naturally, she is not the best candidate to be the headmaster.
The only one who is qualified to be the acting headmaster is Li Yu.
The significance of the acting headmaster is not only to handle the affairs of the sect when the headmaster is in seclusion. Every acting headmaster is trained as a future headmaster, and now it is just for him to adapt to the position of headmaster in advance.
Since the headmaster has chosen him, if nothing unexpected happens, when Li Yu reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he will become the official headmaster of Kunlun.
This news was beyond many people's expectations.
After all, it was well known in Kunlun that Li Yu did not have a high talent for cultivation. However, the fact that he formed the elixir so quickly dispelled the rumors that had been circulating for a long time. In terms of talent and strength, he met the requirements of the acting headmaster. In terms of prestige, among the ordinary disciples, no one in Kunlun could compare with him. In addition, his talent for alchemy was unmatched in Kunlun.
After careful consideration, it seems that no one is more suitable for this position than him.
After all, Kunlun is famous for alchemy. Among the same level, the status of alchemists is naturally higher. The status of a third-grade alchemist is comparable to that of the sect's Nascent Soul Master. It is reasonable for such a person to be the acting headmaster.
Yuxu Peak.
Li Yu, who has become the acting headmaster of Kunlun, has moved his practice place to Yuxu Peak, where a large spirit gathering formation is arranged. It is the mountain with the richest spiritual energy in the entire Kunlun Cave Heaven.
He and Zhou Zixuan usually live in Yuxuan Peak, but they will come to Yuxu Peak to practice.
After forming the elixir, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy increases, and the concentration of spiritual energy becomes more and more important .
Li Yu sat cross-legged as the golden elixir slowly rotated in his dantian. The spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth was attracted and poured into his body, passing through his spiritual veins and into his dantian, to be completely absorbed by the golden elixir.
After practicing for a day, Li Yu did not feel any improvement in his cultivation.
This is a very normal thing.
It is abnormal to be able to feel the improvement of your cultivation.
Different from Refining Qi and Building Foundation, Golden Elixir is already the second highest realm of cultivation. Within a hundred years, if one can advance from the early stage of Golden Elixir to the middle stage of Golden Elixir, he can be called a genius and has a great chance of being promoted to Nascent Soul.
There is no medicine that can assist in this process.
Refining Qi and building the foundation are based on opening up and widening the spiritual veins. Every time an acupoint is opened or a spiritual vein is widened, there will be a stage-by-stage improvement in the level of cultivation. The Golden Elixir requires long-term practice, and there will be no stage-by-stage jumps in the level of cultivation.
Of course, the absence of elixirs does not mean there are no shortcuts.
Theoretically speaking, there are shortcuts at any stage of cultivation. Golden elixirs of the same attributes can be directly absorbed to strengthen oneself, but there will be great losses in the process. If a cultivator in the golden elixir stage relies solely on plundering other people's golden elixirs to form an infant, he will need at least dozens of golden elixirs of the same level.
Kunlun, as the second largest sect in the righteous path, has more than 200 powerful Jindan stage masters.
In other words, only by killing all the Jindan stage cultivators in Kunlun can one barely gather a Five Spirit Veins Yuanying.
Some bloodthirsty demonic sects are incapable of doing such a thing, nor do they have the strength to do so. Killing one or two secretly will not have much impact. In a short period of time, a large number of Jindan stage cultivators with the same attributes will be killed, which will definitely be noticed and be besieged by the immortal cultivation community. This is how the Ancient Five Elements Sect was destroyed.
Zhao Guangxuan's death fell into this category.
After investigating, Kunlun believed that he was ambushed by someone of the same level when he was out, and his golden elixir was taken away by someone, who then destroyed his body...
The sect actually guessed it right.
Zhao Guangxuan's golden elixir was refined by the demon girl using the Netherworld Spirit Fire at the moment of his death. With the return of the spirit fire, it was transformed into a part of the demon girl's magic power. The demons often hunt monsters. The demon elixir of monsters in the golden elixir stage has the same function as the golden elixir of immortal cultivators.
Using killing people to steal pills to improve cultivation is too bloody. Fortunately, Li Yu has a better alternative. Whether it is alchemy or the way of faith, they are much gentler than this method.
However, as he entered the Golden Core stage, the speed of improving his cultivation through these two methods was much slower than that of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Especially the power of faith of mortals, for the Jindan period, the effect is minimal. Without more than ten years of accumulation, it is difficult to see results. If you want to quickly improve your cultivation, you still have to focus on alchemy.
The call of the witch deep in his soul disrupted Li Yu's thoughts.
In the dark and gloomy palace of Xuanyin Sect, Nangong Chan sat cross-legged on a huge chair and asked Li Yu, "What are you busy with? There has been no news for two days..."
Li Yu looked for her every day, which made her feel a little annoyed, but when he didn't look for her one day, she always felt like something was missing.
Li Yu explained: "I just formed a pill these two days, and my master asked me to be the acting headmaster, so I am a little busier than usual..."
Nangong Chan was stunned and asked in disbelief: "What, you have formed a pill?"
Based on her understanding of Li Yu's talent, it would take him at least ten to eight years to reach the peak of foundation building and form his first golden elixir , unless Kunlun could give him the Golden Spirit Pill as a meal, but this was obviously impossible.
Li Yu said: "Yes, the Golden Spirit Vein just formed a pill two days ago. Master said that my talent seems to be quite good. In the past, I relied entirely on pills and neglected cultivation, so I didn't show my talent for cultivation..."
“…”
Until the soul connection with Li Yu was severed, Nangong Chan was unable to recover from the news.
Being able to form a pill in such a short time, his talent is more than just good, it is second only to the Heavenly Spiritual Vein. If Li Yu only cultivated one spiritual vein after forming the pill, he might reach the Nascent Soul stage before her.
By then, wouldn't their soul contract be reversed?
Her younger brother is even stronger than her. Where can she put her face?
