Chapter 173 Which Demonic Master is This?
Xuanyin Sect.
This year's Demonic Ceremony has officially begun.
For the geniuses of the ten sects of the devil, this is an event that cannot be missed. The reward for being on the top of the Nine Nether List is secondary. This is also a rare opportunity to make a name for themselves. From past experience, any genius who can enter the top ten of the Nine Nether List will almost certainly become a giant of the devil in the future.
The chances of those in the top 100 of the Jiuyou list achieving Nascent Soul stage are much greater than those of others.
Many of the geniuses from various sects had been preparing for this grand ceremony several years ago, and had gone into seclusion for several months in advance, just to face this grand ceremony in the best condition.
Before the competition for the Nine Nether List officially begins, there is usually a dinner party.
The strong men from various sects who come to participate in the ceremony, as well as the geniuses, will appear at the dinner.
In the main peak of Xuanyin Sect, there is a large hall with bright lights.
Although Li Yu is not a member of the evil sect, he is a very distinguished guest of the Xuanyin Sect. He was also invited to this dinner, and his seat was next to Nangong Chan, in a very front position.
When he and Nangong Chan arrived at the hall, there were already quite a few people inside.
He came to his seat and took a quick look. In this hall, apart from the servants, there were very few people whose cultivation was below the Golden Core Stage.
Although the Jiuyou List is far less well-known than the Tianjiao List, the age limit is more relaxed. Without the strength of the Jindan stage, it is almost impossible to be on the list.
However, leaving aside those Nascent Soul ancestors and those older Golden Core stage masters, the remaining geniuses from various factions are somewhat polarized in strength.
Some of the strongest among them, a few of them, are probably less than fifty years old, but have already reached the seventh or even eighth level of the Golden Core. There are a few others who have the strength of the sixth level of the Golden Core, but it is rare to see those who have reached the fifth, fourth, or even third level of the Golden Core. Most of the rest are still at the first level of the Golden Core.
This situation cannot be seen in sects such as Tiandao Sect and Kunlun Sect.
Under normal circumstances, from the first to the ninth stage of the Golden Elixir Realm, the number of disciples from each faction should be almost evenly distributed.
This situation in the Demonic Path is obviously due to the extreme concentration of resources.
Li Yu sat in his seat for a while, and Xu Yi and Tian Qi came running over. Li Yu's judgment of them was correct. After taking six Golden Spirit Pills, both of them had already formed pills in both their spiritual veins.
This shows that their talent for cultivation is at least not inferior to that of the three sisters of the Zhao family.
After forming the elixir, their status in the sect naturally rose, and they were qualified to attend today's dinner.
The two men toasted Li Yu with a glass of wine and then respectfully stepped back.
Li Yu looked at their backs and took a sip of the spirit wine.
The power of faith in the Jindan stage is indeed much stronger than that in the foundation-building stage.
His idea was feasible. If he had enough Jindan-stage followers, his speed of cultivation from Nascent Soul to God Transformation would not be left behind by the demon girl and Senior Sister Qin.
The only problem is that he has to make sure the younger brother he finds is reliable.
As Li Yu was thinking, a voice suddenly came from his ear, "Chanchan, long time no see."
He looked back and saw a young man walking towards him.
This young man looked ordinary, but his strength was extremely extraordinary. Li Yu could easily see that he cultivated five spiritual veins. Among them, the four spiritual veins of water, gold, wood and earth were only at the first level of the golden elixir, but the fire spiritual vein had reached the ninth level.
Only one step away from condensing the Nascent Soul.
However, this step is the most difficult. For many cultivators, especially those who have improved through demon elixirs or golden elixirs, the time required to go from the ninth transformation of golden elixir to the Nascent Soul is longer than that from the first to the ninth transformation of golden elixir.
This man looked to be in his twenties, and seemed to be only two or three years older than Li Yu and Nangong Chan. However, under the Qi-gazing technique, some of the aura on him could not be concealed at all. Even if he was not fifty years old, he was very close.
In this world, for mortals, fifty years old is considered old, but for a cultivator in the Jindan stage, only one-tenth of his lifespan has passed.
Nangong Chan turned to look at the young man and frowned, "Senior Brother Liu, I've told you many times, please don't call me that."
The man smiled and said nothing. Instead, he raised his glass to Li Yu and said, "This must be the Young Master of Kunlun, Liu Yang. I have heard of your great name for a long time."
Li Yu also raised his glass to him out of courtesy. Judging from this man's strength, his status in the Xuanyin Sect must be not low. However, Li Yu had never heard of his name in the past few months in the Xuanyin Sect.
But this is normal. Let alone the Xuanyin Sect, he doesn't even know many of the geniuses of Kunlun's previous generation. When they reach the Jindan stage, many people will choose to live in seclusion and practice wholeheartedly. It is not surprising that they don't go out for several years.
After Liu Yang politely greeted Li Yu, he poured another glass of wine and said to Nangong Chan, "I've been in seclusion for a year. I haven't seen my junior sister for a year. Don't you want to have a drink with me?"
Nangong Chan said calmly: "I don't like drinking."
Li Yu glanced at her. During this period, she had been asked to cook a few dishes and drink a few glasses with her every other night. She didn't know who it was...
Since Junior Sister was so disrespectful, Liu Yang had no choice but to drink the wine himself. He said helplessly, "After not seeing you for a year, Junior Sister hasn't changed at all."
After that, he nodded slightly to Li Yu and said, "Brother Li, I have a few friends to meet. Excuse me..."
Although this person came from the devil's way , he was polite and tactful towards others. After Li Yu saw him leave, he walked to some Nascent Soul masters of the Xuanyin Sect, and those Nascent Soul masters were also very polite to him.
He set up a soundproof barrier, looked at Nangong Chan, and asked, "This person is very powerful, where does he come from?"
After Liu Yang appeared, Nangong Chan was obviously in a bad mood, and replied calmly: "So what if he is very strong, it is not something he cultivated himself. If he didn't have two parents in the Spiritualization Stage, it is not certain whether he has formed a Dan now..."
Although Li Yu guessed that this person had an extraordinary background, he was still surprised to hear about his origins.
Both parents are gods, this is the real second generation of immortals.
As far as Li Yu knows, the only one in the world of immortal cultivation whose background can be compared with his is Wang Heng from the Tiandao Sect.
It has to be said that cultivating immortals and cultivating immortals are different.
The vast majority of those who practice immortal cultivation have to start as mortals and cultivate themselves step by step. Those with less talent cannot build a foundation in their lifetime and can only seek to prolong their life.
Most of those who have better talents and are lucky enough to build a foundation will die before reaching the golden elixir stage.
But there are also a few people whose starting point of practice is the golden elixir.
Even going from the Golden Core to the Golden Core Nine Transformations did not require any talent. After all, one had two parents in the Spirit Transformation Stage. In front of them, even the immortal cultivators and monsters at the Golden Core Nine Transformations would not even have the chance to self-destruct their Golden Cores and Monster Cores.
If a person has two parents who have broken through the Void, and are ruthless enough to help him reach the late Nascent Soul stage, it is possible.
However, no one knows how many golden elixirs and primordial infants have perished among them.
To cultivate immortality, one can also rely on one’s father.
The world they live in is not the same as that of most people.
Nangong Chan glanced at the hall and said to him, "The one over there who has reached the ninth level of the Golden Core is the son of a Spiritual Transformation Patriarch of the Puppet Sect. The one over there is a disciple of the Spiritual Transformation Patriarch of the Soul Refining Sect. All those who are under fifty years old and have reached the sixth level of the Golden Core that you see here have Spiritual Transformation behind them..."
Li Yu could understand this.
Most parents will do this to pave the way for their children.
If he had children, they would surely be able to fly before they learned to walk.
No matter how high or low it is, we have to let the child's five spirit veins form a pill first.
Li Yu could only say: "This is normal. Think about it. If we have children, we will definitely treat them better. Before they practice, let alone the Golden Spirit Pill, I have prepared the Pregnancy Pill for them..."
Nangong Chan put herself in Li Yu's shoes and thought that what Li Yu said was true.
If they had a child, she would definitely bring her with her from childhood, preferably a daughter. In addition to teaching her cultivation, she would also braid her hair beautifully and put on beautiful flower ornaments. As for the elixirs she needed for cultivation, Li Yu would prepare them. All the elixirs given to her must be top-grade with five elixir patterns, not a single elixir pattern could be missing...
If her cultivation talent was not high, she would definitely hunt monsters, at least to allow her to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. After all, it was flesh that fell from her body, so if she didn't feel pain, who would?
But she quickly reacted, glared at Li Yu, and said angrily: "Who has a child with you!"
Li Yu glanced at her speechlessly and said, "I mean, we will have children in the future, not that I will have children with you..."
Nangong Chan said with a dark face, "This girl is devoted to the immortal way, you and Zhou Zixuan Jiang Li go and have a baby!"
Li Yu had actually thought about this problem.
Immortal cultivators rarely have offspring. After all, they pursue immortality and do not want to be distracted or have their resources divided by anything. But if they know that there is no hope of a breakthrough, they will sometimes think it over or figure it out, and place their hopes on the next generation.
Li Yu does not have the problem of no hope of breakthrough for the time being, but he is too busy with his cultivation and cannot give his children enough company.
Thinking about the witch's experience, it's better to wait until later to talk about giving birth.
Today's dinner is actually just a venue for the geniuses from various factions to get to know each other. After Elder Xuanyuan announced the start of the dinner, everyone began to move around with wine in their hands.
Some people who have wide social circles, like Liu Yang, had already started walking around before the dinner began.
These geniuses of the magic world are not from the same era as Li Yu, and Li Yu does not know them. The only two geniuses he knows are those he created himself. He can't let them toast with his two younger brothers.
However, although Li Yu did not move around, many people came to find him.
Without exception, all of these people were Yuanying ancestors of the Xuanyin Sect, and they had dealings with Li Yu in the business of elixirs.
In fact, at first, only an early Nascent Soul ancestor came over. He took this opportunity to ask Li Yu to refine a few fourth-order Qi-recovering pills, and hoped that he would charge less materials.
But the other Yuanying ancestors of the Xuanyin Sect did not know the inside story and thought that he was just there to offer a toast.
Although Li Yu's cultivation was only at the Jindan stage, he was the future headmaster of Kunlun. He was indeed honorable, but as Yuanying powerhouses, they didn't need to go over and toast him specifically, and it wouldn't be rude.
But when someone took the lead, they could no longer sit still.
Otherwise, wouldn't Li Yu and the Saint Lady misunderstand that they don't take him seriously?
Li Yu was fine. Through dealing with him for the past few months, everyone knew that he was a kind person who was not fussy about trivial matters and would not care about these things.
But the saint is different .
She was well-known for her stinginess. She had long since turned her back on others and devoted herself to her future Taoist partner, asking them for a lot of extra materials for elixirs. If she remembered what she had done today, the price she would pay next time when she asked Li Yu to make elixirs would probably be even higher.
Then, the Yuanying ancestors of the Xuanyin Sect began to leave their seats one by one and walked towards Li Yu's seat in an orderly manner.
"Young Master, you have worked hard in refining the elixir. This glass of wine is for you."
"Please take care of those few Golden Spirit Pills, Master."
…
Li Yu had not planned to drink so much, but since others came over to toast him, he could only raise his glass in response. Otherwise, wouldn't he be disrespecting these Nascent Soul masters?
At this moment, there were figures walking around in various places in the hall.
But it was obvious that the place where Li Yu was was where the most people gathered.
This also attracted the attention of many powerful people from various factions.
It would have been better if they hadn't looked at it. After taking a look, some Nascent Soul powerhouses from the ten sects of the Demonic Path were immediately shocked.
Who is this person? Those who left their seats to toast him all had cultivation levels no lower than the Nascent Soul stage!
The Nascent Soul masters of various sects who had been practicing in seclusion for many years and had not cared about worldly affairs were both shocked and suspicious.
Who is this great master of magic?
Apart from the powerful gods, who else has such face?
Looking closely, they were even more shocked to find that they could not see through the other party's cultivation level at all. Wherever their spiritual sense passed, there was nothing. Only the sect's ancestor who had reached the state of enlightenment could give them this feeling.
I didn’t expect that the Xuanyin Sect attached so much importance to this ceremony that a powerful god-transforming master would be present at the dinner!
After the last Yuanying Patriarch of Xuanyin Sect left, a Yuanying Patriarch of Lianhun Sect also came over, raised his wine glass, and said respectfully: "Senior, I offer you a toast..."
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, wondering why the Nascent Soul Patriarch of the Soul Refining Sect came to join in the fun.
As he glanced around, he saw from the corner of his eye that several more Yuanyings from other sects were walking over and consciously lined up behind them...
Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of everyone present. Some young geniuses were very concerned about the affairs of the immortal world and read every issue of gossip produced by Xiaoyao Sect. They were not unfamiliar with Li Yu.
"Strange, why are all these ancestors toasting Li Yu?"
"Does Young Master Kunlun have such a big reputation?"
"Do they also want to establish a relationship with Kunlun?"
After hearing these discussions, the Yuanying ancestors of various sects realized that they had made a fool of themselves, but they had already lined up and could only bite the bullet. However, they naturally could not call him senior in their words. In order to hide their embarrassment, they could only euphemistically express their willingness to cooperate with Kunlun...
When everyone's eyes were focused there, they naturally discovered a beautiful figure that was hard to ignore.
The geniuses from various factions were immediately attracted to Nangong Chan.
"Is that... the Saintess of Xuanyin Sect?"
"It's Miss Nangong. I met her once two years ago. She has changed so much since then that I can hardly recognize her..."
"She is much prettier in person than in her portrait. It's time to change the portrait at Xiaoyao Sect."
"Young Master Kunlun, why are you sitting with the Saintess of Xuanyin Sect?"
"I heard from the Xuanyin Sect disciples that the two of them seem to be getting married."
"What? The Saintess of Xuanyin Sect wants to become a Taoist couple with the Young Master of Kunlun Sect!"
"Hush, keep your voice down. According to gossip, the Saint is pregnant. Otherwise, why would Kunlun allow the Young Master to make pills for the Xuanyin Sect and also let him participate in the Demonic Ceremony? It's obvious that they treat him as one of their own..."
"Where did you get this news?"
"I can read lips. The Saint just said that she and Li Yu had a child..."
…
When the people from each faction were discussing, they all set up a soundproof barrier. Li Yu couldn't hear what they were talking about, but it was definitely related to him and the demon girl. And judging from their expressions, what they were talking about must be very explosive...
