Chapter 182: Ask the Young Master to take me in!
Li Yu stood there in a daze.
The Tiandao Sect is in turmoil, the Demon Sect is experiencing great changes, and the Xuanyin Sect is in danger. As a saint, she is not worried about the future of the sect. She is actually still struggling with the question of whether he will save her or Qin Keren when they are in danger - this hypothetical question.
No wonder she hasn't spoken much in the past two days and looks like she is worried about something.
So that's what I was thinking about.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "I won't save anyone."
Nangong Chan said firmly: "You must save one."
Li Yu continued to shake his head: "If I go, I will die."
Nangong Chan asked: "Who do you want to die with?"
Li Yu was silent for a long time, and said helplessly: "I want to live..."
One is his elder sister who is both his teacher and friend, and the other is his savior. If he gives up on elder sister Qin, he will have no face to return to Kunlun, and if he gives up on the witch, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
The palms and backs of his hands are all made of flesh, so he could only avoid answering.
Nangong Chan looked at Li Yu hatefully. She just wanted to hear that her position in his heart was a little more important than Qin Keren, even if it was just a little. Was that so difficult?
She had saved his life three times before, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to ask for his help, let alone just an answer.
She snorted, turned around, walked out of the barge and came to the bow of the boat.
At least now, she didn't want to stay with Li Yu.
The two Yuanying ancestors of the Xuanyin Sect looked at the Saint Girl who looked worried and sighed in their hearts. The Saint Girl has really grown up. She used to not care about the affairs of the sect, but this time, she was actually worried about the sect's affairs...
In less than a day, Li Yu came to Xuanyin Sect again.
The great changes in the demonic world actually had little to do with him, but the Yuanying elders were urgently summoned, so he had no choice but to take a ride back with them.
When he returned to Xuanyin Sect this time, Li Yu clearly noticed that the number of demonic disciples in the Xuanyin Mountains had increased sharply.
These people are not all disciples of the Xuanyin Sect. Many of them come from other sects of the Demonic Path, such as the Hehuan Sect, the Five Poison Sect, the Xueyin Sect, etc., and their cultivation is not low. I am afraid that a large part of them are core disciples.
Not long ago, the Demon Flame Sect annexed the Xuanming Sect and the Tiansha Palace with thundering means, causing panic among other sects of the demon sect.
The strength of the Five Poison Sect, the Insect Control Sect, and the Blood Yin Sect is not much stronger than the Xuanming Sect and the Tiansha Palace. If the Demon Flame Sect can swallow them, they can also swallow themselves.
As soon as they received the news, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of the two sects, they immediately went to seek protection from the three giants.
The Xuanyin Sect, the Puppet Sect and the Soul Refining Sect are different from other sects in the Demonic Path. The three giants all have an Ancestor who can Break the Void. Even if the Ancestor is away from the sect for a long time, the Demon Flame Sect cannot do anything about it.
Even a strong sect like the Tiandao Sect, which has three Void Breakers, would not have any intention towards these three giants.
Poxu is a kind of deterrent. The difference between one and three is not that big. One Poxu is enough to kill all the disciples of Tiandao Sect except the ancestor Poxu countless times.
The Yuanying ancestors of the Xuanyin Sect were discussing this matter. Li Yu heard from the demon girl that it seemed that even an old ancestor who had reached the God Transformation stage had been awakened from his retreat and appeared at the meeting.
While Li Yu was refining the elixir, he was also paying attention to the latest news.
The Demon Flame Sect was able to annex the Xuanming Sect and the Tiansha Palace not entirely on its own. It is said that when the two sects were surrounded, an unfamiliar powerful god-transforming master appeared and joined forces with the two gods-transforming masters of the Demon Flame Sect to suppress the two sects' ancestors.
At the same time, the major secret realms of the Demonic Path controlled by various sects were also attacked by disciples of the Demon Flame Sect, and they lost control of many mineral veins and medicinal fields. The Demon Flame Sect annexed the Xuanming Sect and the Tiansha Palace, and overnight, became another giant of the Demonic Path.
With the support of the Tiandao Sect behind them, they acted even more unscrupulously, slaughtering disciples from other sects of the Demonic Path in various secret caves and realms.
The Demon Flame Sect was arrogant and domineering, the three giants were afraid to act rashly, and other sects of the Demonic Path were in danger. In just a few days, the situation in the entire Demonic Path changed drastically and became a mess.
Li Yu was the same as usual. Apart from making pills, he basically just hung out with the witch.
When delivering a new batch of alchemy materials, Elder Xuanyuan asked Li Yu, "My friend, if one spiritual herb is missing, can you still make Tuomai Pill?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "No, every recipe is the product of countless alchemists' experiments. Even if one ingredient is missing, even the dosage of each ingredient must be strictly controlled..."
Elder Xuanyuan sighed and said, "Then I'm afraid I won't be able to refine the Tuomai Pill this month..."
Li Yu asked in confusion: "Why?"
Elder Xuanyuan said: "There is a secret cave that was originally controlled by the Xuanyin Sect and the Soul Refining Sect. In that secret realm, there grows a large amount of silver spirit grass, which is one of the materials for the Tuomai Pill. But that secret realm is now occupied by the people of the Demon Flame Sect..."
Li Yu has refined countless furnaces of Tuomai Pills and handled countless silver spirit herbs.
Although this spiritual herb is not the main ingredient of Tuomai Pill, it is also indispensable in the process of refining Tuomai Pill, and plays the role of neutralizing the medicinal properties.
This herb has another characteristic, which is that it must be freshly picked to be useful. If it is away from the soil for more than three days, the medicinal properties of the herb will be lost. It will be useless to keep it in a storage space and it can only be picked and used immediately.
Originally, the Xuanyin Sect had such a secret cave. Before refining the elixir, all one had to do was to have someone pick fresh silver spirit grass.
However, due to the support from the Tiandao Sect, the Demon Flame Sect's strength increased greatly. In those low-level secret realms and caves, even the disciples of the Xuanyin Sect and the Lianhun Sect suffered considerable losses.
That secret realm is a second-level secret realm, and only those in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages can enter.
The Soul Refining Sect and the Xuanyin Sect certainly had no shortage of disciples at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, but when they were fighting for that secret realm, the two sects joined forces, and despite having the advantage in numbers, they were still driven out of the secret realm.
It’s not that the disciples of the Demon Flame Sect are stronger.
It's just that their equipment is too sophisticated.
The magic weapon of the Xuanyin Sect disciples collapsed at the first touch against the magic weapon of the Demon Flame Sect disciples. The Soul Refining Sect disciples had just released their spirit ghosts when the other side threw out a bunch of talismans, all of which were top-level thunder talismans that could restrain ghosts. Without the spirit ghosts, the Soul Refining Sect disciples retired on the spot...
The real battles in the world of immortal cultivation are not about laughing and joking in a fantasy world, nor are they about competing for the Nine Netherworld Ranking. Whoever has the most powerful magic and the most skilled spells will win.
Magical weapons, talismans and other equipment are the decisive factors that affect the battle situation.
Especially for low-level cultivators below the Jindan stage.
The level of weapon refining and talismans of the demon sect is far behind that of the righteous sect. Obviously, the disciples of the Demon Flame Sect have obtained top-level equipment provided by the Tiandao Sect, so they can naturally crush ordinary demon sect disciples.
Li Yu thought of the treasure house of Xuanyin Sect.
Although there weren't many top-notch good things there, it would still be no problem to refine some magic weapons for the Foundation Establishment Period. There were also mountains of materials for writing talismans. It was just that they lacked talent in this area.
Unfortunately, Li Yu's subordinates are all talented people.
There are alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman masters, formation masters, and mechanism masters, and they are all veterans who have been immersed in this field for two hundred years. As their cultivation advances to the golden elixir level, their magic power becomes more stable and powerful, and their skills will be further improved.
If these materials were handed over to them, they would be able to create a batch of fine magic weapons and talismans very quickly.
At the same time, with so much material for them to practice, it won’t take long for them to successfully advance.
This can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Li Yu did not have to pay too much to train a third-level weapon refiner and talisman master. The Xuanyin Sect not only cleared its inventory, but also exchanged it for a bunch of magic weapons and talismans, so that it would not be crushed by the equipment in the confrontation with the disciples of the Demon Flame Sect.
The secret realm of Xuanyin Sect was robbed, which also had a great impact on his alchemy.
If those secret realms fall into the hands of the Demon Flame Sect, they will fall into the hands of the Tiandao Sect, which is not a good thing for the entire world of immortal cultivation.
Elder Xuanyuan said with a gloomy face: "If it weren't for the talismans and magic weapons of the Tiandao Sect, the disciples of the Xuanyin Sect would not have lost. Damn Tiandao Sect, do they really want to unify the world of immortal cultivation?"
Li Yu looked at Elder Xuanyuan and said, "If necessary, I can ask some weapon refiners and talisman masters to come over and help you refine some magic weapons and talismans."
Elder Xuanyuan was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately said, "That couldn't be better..."
He actually wanted to test Li Yu's attitude, but he didn't expect that he would offer to help.
He and the Saint Girl haven't even become Taoist partners yet, but he's already thinking so much about the Xuanyin Sect.
By then, when he takes charge of Kunlun and the Saint takes charge of Xuanyin Sect, the two sects will be even closer than one family.
The Xuanyin Sect had lost its secret realm, so naturally they were more anxious than Li Yu. To show their sincerity, Elder Xuanyuan personally went to Kunlun with Li Yu. On the spirit boat, Li Yu saw Elder Xuanyuan hesitated to speak several times, as if he had something to say.
Li Yu smiled and said, "Elder Xuanyuan, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it."
Elder Xuanyuan hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "I want to ask... Is the Saint pregnant?"
…
When he returned to Kunlun and came to the familiar entrance of the cave, Li Yu looked around and was slightly stunned.
Many people gathered outside the entrance of Kunlun Cave.
Li Yu originally thought that there was some activity going on in the sect, but upon closer inspection, those people were not Kunlun disciples.
Judging from the symbols on the immortal clothes they wore, these people came from various major sects, including Shushan, Emei, Qingcheng, Huashan... Some of them had no symbols on their bodies, perhaps they were independent cultivators.
All people have two common characteristics.
All of them have reached the peak of foundation building, and they are all very old, with a strong air of decadence on their bodies, and it is obvious that they don't have much time left to live.
"Young Master is back!"
These people were sitting cross-legged in various places in the square. When Li Yu appeared here, someone shouted, causing the crowd to suddenly boil.
Within two breaths, Li Yu was surrounded by three layers of enemies.
Then, they all knelt on the ground, their faces filled with excitement.
“You’re finally back!”
"Disciple is willing to serve Young Master like an ox or a horse!"
"Please, Young Master, take me in!"
