Chapter 171 The Return of the Prodigy
Xu Yi defeated Huang Wei in an instant, and the crowd was in an uproar.
Most of the disciples from other sects of the Demonic Path did not know Xu Yi. They were just surprised in their hearts as to when the Soul Refining Sect had produced such a young and powerful man who not only had dual spiritual veins at the peak of foundation building, but also had practiced thunder magic.
Logically speaking, such a person should not be unknown.
But the disciples of the Soul Refining Sect knew that Xu Yi’s cultivation level had increased dramatically in the past few days.
With his talent, he would be able to form a double-spiritual-veined golden elixir within ten years. Because of his age advantage, his status within the sect is higher than that of most of the golden elixir elders.
Huang Wei stood there blankly, looking extremely depressed.
Even if he had an ancestor in the Nascent Soul stage, it would be impossible for him to pour so many resources into him. The gap between him and Xu Yi was probably something he would never be able to catch up with in this lifetime.
What made him even more painful was the contract.
The few spirit ghosts he had cultivated with great difficulty, especially the one in the late foundation building stage that his ancestor had just given him, all lost to Xu Yi, which directly caused a great loss of strength and completely reduced him to an ordinary foundation building stage.
Huang Wei took the initiative to cut off the connection with those spirit ghosts and whispered: "These spirit ghosts are yours."
After personally feeling Xu Yi's current strength, he no longer had the intention to go against Xu Yi. People like him would sooner or later become the same as his ancestor.
Xu Yi captured a few ghost spirits, but he did not push Huang Wei too far and made him kneel down and admit defeat.
Always leave some room for others so that you can meet again in the future.
His mentality is different from before, and he no longer cares about the previous conflict with Huang Wei.
After handing over the ghost spirit, Huang Wei gave Xu Yi a complicated look, and left silently under the watch of the crowd.
After experiencing this little setback, Xu Yi returned to his room and continued to study the recipe.
This year's Demonic Ceremony has not officially begun yet, and the disciples of various sects have nothing to do. The news that a young powerful man has emerged from the Soul Refining Sect soon caused heated discussions among the foundation-building disciples of various sects, and even some Jindan Yuanying powerful men have heard of it.
The place where the disciples of Hehuan Sect live.
When a young man heard the news, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Is Xu Yi already at the peak of his dual spiritual vein foundation building?
Tian Qi felt very uncomfortable.
He and Xu Yi used to have similar strengths, but later, with the help of Li Yu, they built their foundations almost at the same time. The talents of the two were not much different. Xu Yi had the help of spirit ghosts, so his actual combat power was stronger. He had countless Taoist companions, was proficient in the way of dual cultivation, and practiced faster. They each had their own advantages and disadvantages.
The two have a good relationship and keep in touch from time to time. Xu Yi has just opened up the second level of meridians, while he has already opened up the third level.
Tian Qi was once very proud of this.
As a friend, he once advised Xu Yi not to indulge in cooking, which was of no use to his cultivation, but to find a few Taoist companions and practice dual cultivation, focusing on cultivation like him.
However, before Tian Qi could be proud for long, Xu Yi had already completed the foundation of both spiritual veins and expanded his meridians to the 162nd level.
Thinking of his advice to Xu Yi at that time, he felt like a clown.
…
Lingchan Peak.
During this month in Xuanyin Sect, Li Yu's cultivation level did not improve significantly, but his cooking skills improved greatly, which won unanimous praise from Yaonu and Qing'er.
Under Xu Yi's careful teaching, his signature dishes have increased to dozens.
When Xu Yi came to Lingchan Peak again, there was a figure following him. It was Tian Qi from the Hehuan Sect. Li Yu got the top dual cultivation technique "Liangyi Jing" from him.
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Brother Tian, long time no see."
Seeing that Li Yu still remembered their friendship, Tian Qi felt relieved and smiled back, "If it wasn't for Brother Xu telling me, I wouldn't have known that Brother Li was here."
Accidents often happen on the path of spiritual practice, and sometimes an unintentional separation may be a farewell forever.
The rare gathering of the Purple Gold Cave Heaven trio reminded Li Yu of his experience during the Qi Refining Stage. At that time, in order to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, he had to go to the Purple Gold Cave Heaven to pan for gold. In just a few years, the Foundation Establishment Pills that were once hard to come by had piled up like a mountain in the corner of his storage space.
The tender lamb was sizzling on the grill and it would take a while for it to be cooked. The three of them gathered around the fire. Just like in the past, Li Yu clinked glasses with them. Tian Qi smiled and said, "Although I haven't seen Brother Li again in the past few years, I often hear news about Brother Li in the sect. In our Hehuan Sect, there are countless disciples who admire Brother Li..."
After a round of greetings, the lamb was almost done roasting.
Li Yu cut a piece of roasted meat from the lamb leg, put it on a plate and handed it to Nangong Chan.
Nangong Chan ate the tender and juicy mutton in small bites, and couldn't help thinking in her heart, this guy Li Yu really has friends all over the world. He knows people everywhere, both in the righteous and evil ways.
Tian Qi was chewing on the delicious lamb leg, but his mind was absent-minded.
In just a few days, Xu Yi's cultivation level had climbed from the early stage of foundation building to the peak of foundation building, and he had reached the peak of double spiritual veins foundation building, which saved him nearly a hundred years of cultivation. It was impossible for him not to be envious.
If you save this hundred years, achieving Nascent Soul will be almost certain.
But he was not like Xu Yi, who was noticed by Brother Li for his superb cooking skills. Compared with Xu Yi, he had nothing to show off, and he was very anxious.
After thinking for a while, he said to Li Yu, "In the past two years, I accidentally got a book of dual cultivation techniques, called "Xuan Nu Jing", which records several new dual cultivation secrets. I wonder if Brother Li is interested?"
Li Yu asked: "Are you talking about Dragon Flip, Tiger Step, Ape Fight, Cicada Attachment, etc...."
After becoming the acting headmaster, his authority in Kunlun was also improved. The library that he was not allowed to visit before could now be visited at will. Li Yu found many good things in it, including many secret methods of dual cultivation.
Tian Qi was surprised and asked, "Brother Li also knows the Nine Methods of Xuannv?"
Li Yu nodded and said, "I also have this copy of the Xuan Nu Jing. There are many dual cultivation techniques in Kunlun's collection of books."
Tian Qi felt a little disappointed when he heard this, and he had to give up the idea of donating the book.
Nangong Chan asked curiously, "What is Dragon Flip Tiger Step?"
Li Yu cut another piece of meat for her and said, "It's nothing. Eat it quickly. It won't taste good if you roast it any longer."
Looking at Xu Yi who had become unfathomable beside him, Tian Qi did not give up. He glanced at the Holy Maiden of Xuanyin Sect opposite him. When it comes to cooking, he is not as good as Xu Yi, but when it comes to understanding women, ten Xu Yis are not as good as him.
The relationship between the Holy Maiden of Xuanyin Sect and Brother Li is definitely special.
Maybe I can break through from her.
Tian Qi looked at Nangong Chan again, and his brain started working rapidly.
The Holy Maiden of the Xuanyin Sect was extremely gifted and undoubtedly extremely beautiful. All of her fellow Taoists combined were not even half as good as her.
But when it comes to makeup, she is not as good as any of them.
First of all, her hair was tied into a simple ponytail. Although she was pretty and looked good with a ponytail, many female practitioners in the Hehuan Sect who were devoted to cultivation and did not care much about their image also liked to wear ponytails because it was simple and convenient.
But it is obvious that the Holy Maiden of Xuanyin Sect is not a woman who doesn't care about her image.
She had light makeup on her face. If she really didn't care about her image, she would not put on makeup on purpose. It can be seen that she still hopes to become more beautiful, but she is not good at makeup. Even the simplest light makeup has many imperfections in Tian Qi's eyes.
There are many beautiful hairstyles for nuns, but she always wears a ponytail, probably because she doesn't know how to do it, or her maid doesn't know how to do it.
Different bun styles require different accessories. Her hairpin does not match her hairstyle at all.
If Tian Qi were to make an evaluation, although Miss Nangong is pretty, she is rather rustic.
After a few cups of spirit wine, Tian Qi suddenly said, "Last year, I found a secret book in a secret realm. Although it is not a dual cultivation method, it records more than a hundred ways to comb women's hair, dozens of eyebrow shapes, and more than ten kinds of makeup. In addition to dual cultivation, I can occasionally do makeup and eyebrow drawing for my Taoist partner to add some joy to the boudoir. I wonder if Brother Li is interested?"
Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan had actually done this kind of thing before.
Newlyweds want to try everything.
But Zhou Zixuan felt that how could a man do makeup and draw eyebrows for a woman, so he never tried it again.
Li Yu was about to refuse when someone suddenly pinched her thigh.
The witch glanced at him and gave him an extremely obscure look.
Li Yu was about to say no, so he had no choice but to say, "Well, I'm actually quite interested..."
Tian Qi was delighted when he heard this and said, "I left the secret book in the sect and didn't bring it with me, but I have memorized all the contents on it. How about I demonstrate it to you on Brother Xu?"
In fact, there is no such secret book at all. These skills are all acquired by him through his daily dual cultivation with his fellow Taoists.
Xu Yi was stunned when he heard this, and he moved his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
He also knew that this was Tian Qi's chance to complete his foundation building.
It's okay for him to suffer some grievances for the sake of his friends.
…
Under the suggestion of the witch, in the days that follow, Li Yu will not only learn cooking from Xu Yi, but also learn makeup from Tian Qi.
He came to Xuanyin Sect not to make elixirs, but to learn techniques.
However, there are still some maids in Lingchan Peak, so there is no need to experiment on Xu Yi.
Li Yu didn't take this matter seriously at first.
It's just combing hair and drawing eyebrows, what's so good about that?
He knew what Tian Qi was thinking. He just wanted him to give him some Tuomai Pills. In fact, he didn't need to go through so many twists and turns. Li Yu was originally planning to make additional investments in him.
However, Li Yu soon realized that no one should be underestimated.
The same maid, after being handled by Tian Qi, still had the same face, but gave people a completely different feeling.
Li Yu couldn't tell exactly what the difference was, but she felt that she was more beautiful than before, and her temperament had changed a lot, just by changing her hairstyle and slightly trimming her eyebrows.
Li Yu looked around and saw the demon girl and Qing'er. Even Xu Yi looked shocked. It was obvious that this was not just his illusion.
Moreover, different maids, after his transformation, showed different styles.
He can give each person the most suitable makeup and style based on their appearance, body shape and other personal characteristics, and even pays attention to the accessories on their head and body. He can be called the top stylist in the world of immortal cultivation.
Li Yu could see that each of these guys from the evil way possessed unique skills, and for them, practicing was just a side job.
Li Yu was able to learn the essence of Xu Yi's cooking skills. The essence of Tian Qi's stylist skills lies in his own experience and aesthetics. It would be amazing if Li Yu could learn 50% of them.
Half a day later.
Except for Qing'er, all the maids on Lingchan Peak have changed a lot. Li Yu feels as if he is in a fashion show.
Looking at Tian Qi, who was covered in makeup, Li Yu took out a box of Tuomai Dan and said, "Brother Tian, you have worked hard. This is just a small gift as a token of respect."
Finally, he got the elixir he had been longing for. Tian Qi put away the elixir box tremblingly and said, "It's not hard, it's not hard. It's my honor to be able to do something for Brother Li..."
In the following days, apart from refining elixirs, Li Yu also learned techniques from Xu Yi and Tian Qi.
Both of them are masters in their respective fields. Li Yu has a strong learning ability. His cooking and makeup skills are improving day by day. After each session, he would practice with Qing'er. In three days, he mastered the braiding methods of dozens of hairstyles.
During these three days, under his deliberate care, Tian Qi's cultivation level also improved to the peak of double spiritual veins foundation building.
Li Yu sometimes even sighed that if he had met someone as generous as himself back then, it wouldn't have taken him so long to form the pill.
But if you think about it carefully, he doesn't seem to have any special skills, and he can't seize the opportunity when it comes.
Tomorrow is the Demonic Ceremony. At dusk on the last day, before the two left Lingchan Peak, Li Yu handed each of them a jade bottle, which contained six golden elixirs.
Xu Yi and Tian Qi were stunned. They didn't recognize this kind of medicine at all.
Li Yu explained: "This is a fourth-level golden spirit pill, used to break through the bottleneck of the foundation-building period. You can take it. There is no need to compress the mana, and you can directly form a pill. If it is not enough, come to me again."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi and Tian Qi's bodies shook at the same time.
Golden elixir!
Although they had never seen it, they had heard of the great name of this elixir.
This is the breakthrough elixir from foundation building to golden elixir. How many powerful people at the peak of the late foundation building stage cannot even get one until they die!
In the evil world, a golden elixir can cause a bloody storm.
And there were six pills in the bottle that Li Yu gave to each of them!
The six Golden Spirit Pills could be taken directly, saving the process of compressing the magic power. They could form pills in both of their spiritual veins overnight, allowing them to step into the golden elixir path and increase their lifespan to five hundred years.
Neither of them had ever thought that they would encounter such a great opportunity during this trip to the Xuanyin Sect.
With the strength of dual spiritual veins and golden elixirs, they can even make it onto the Nine Netherworld List!
Although the pill bottle is light, it feels as heavy as a thousand pounds in their hands.
Not to mention friends, even their masters, sects, their fellow Taoists and relatives would not give them these.
For a cultivator, there is no greater favor than this.
Xu Yi took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, and said seriously: "Brother Li, I will never forget your kindness. If you have any mission in the future, I am willing to serve you!"
Tian Qi was stunned for a moment, and followed Xu Yi's example, kneeling on one knee. However, everything he wanted to say had already been said by Xu Yi, and he had no time to think of anything new. His face flushed as he thought, but he couldn't think of anything better, so he could only follow suit and say, "Me too!"
