Chapter 233: First Visit to the Dynasty
Yuxuan Peak.
After Li Yu returned to the alchemy room, he pursed his lips out of habit.
After all, it is a relationship that has lasted for thousands of years. When alone with Keren, the two of them can't help but feel emotional.
After a long kiss, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released, the memory of the illusion gradually faded, and the memory of reality finally took over.
But at that time, the two of them kissed and hugged each other.
Then Keren hid himself.
Li Yu was not in a hurry. After all, she was also so shy at the beginning in the illusion.
Thousands of years of experience in the illusion have made Li Yu understand that many things in this world can be left to time.
Zhou Zixuan, Jiang Li and others were all in seclusion, practicing hard in order to break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.
Li Yuze focused on making the elixir.
No matter what, the Thousand Faces Saint Lord did help him a lot. Li Yu personally refined all the elixirs above the fourth level for him, and those below the fourth level he gave to the alchemists of the Sun and Moon Sect.
Unknowingly, the Sun Moon Sect had become the sect with the largest number of third-grade alchemists in the world of immortal cultivation.
The number of third-grade alchemists in the sect even exceeds that of Kunlun.
Not only that, the number of third-grade talisman masters in the Sun and Moon Sect exceeds that of Maoshan, the number of third-grade weapon refiners exceeds that of Qingcheng, and the number of third-grade formation masters also exceeds that of Huashan, making it the largest gathering place for talents in the world of immortal cultivation.
Recently, Wu Tong has begun to recruit special talents at the peak of the Golden Core Stage. In time, the Sun and Moon Sect will have fourth-level alchemists and weapon refiners.
During this period, matters concerning the Lingyuan Realm continued to ferment in the world of immortal cultivation.
Especially after the Tiandao Sect confirmed this, there was a huge panic in the entire world of cultivating immortals. The Tiandao Sect took the opportunity to spread the news that no matter whether they were from the righteous path, the evil path, or the independent cultivators, as long as their cultivation level was above the Nascent Soul stage, they could join the Tiandao Sect unconditionally. At that time, if the Lingyuan Realm invaded, the Tiandao Sect would provide them with shelter.
Even though the reputation of the Tiandao Sect is no longer as good as before, it is undeniable that to date, the Tiandao Sect is still the only super sect in the world of immortal cultivation.
Last time, it was under the leadership of the Tiandao Sect that the Xuantian Realm was able to defeat the invasion of the Lingyuan Realm.
After the Tiandao Sect announced the news, within just a few days, more than twenty Nascent Soul masters from both the righteous and evil paths left the sect and joined the Tiandao Sect. Even two Nascent Soul masters from Kunlun rebelled against the sect.
Under normal circumstances, there would not be much benefit for them to join the Tiandao Sect.
But the catastrophe is imminent, and the stronger the force behind it, the safer it will be.
As the former beacon of the immortal cultivation world, the Tiandao Sect not only failed to stabilize people's hearts, but its behavior of taking advantage of the situation instead caused even greater unrest. Some small and medium-sized sects began to attack each other, and the number of attacks on the Jindan elders of various sects also increased rapidly in a short period of time.
The entire world of immortal cultivation has been swept by a trend of everyone out for themselves, and everyone wants to improve their own strength as much as possible before the two great worlds are connected.
After all, the more strength you have, the more power you will have to protect yourself.
Tiandao Sect's own elders also suffered the consequences.
These days, the number of Jindan elders who died outside of Tiandao Sect was the largest, ranging from the first to the ninth level of Jindan. This made the Jindan elders who were stationed outside all year round feel insecure and they fled back to the Tiandao Secret Realm.
Tiandao Sect was furious and sent out a late Nascent Soul cultivator to investigate, but they found nothing.
Before the arrival of external enemies, Xuantian's world of immortal cultivation had already fallen into chaos.
Fortunately, the relationship between the righteous and the evil has changed a long time ago. During this period, the top leaders of various sects have come to Kunlun one after another and have been discussing the alliance in advance.
If the Lingyuan Realm is really invaded again, the Demonic Path will undoubtedly be in danger.
All the righteous sects can retreat to their sect's caves, while the evil sects can retreat to the big world, which is easy to attack but difficult to defend. When the time comes, they will be exposed nakedly in front of the enemy.
In order to avoid being defeated one by one, the evil sects hope to move to the secret realms of the righteous sects and unite to fight the enemy. The righteous sects are currently discussing this matter.
The top leaders of various sects have basically agreed to the Demonic Path's request and are finalizing a preliminary plan.
The Xuanyin Sect will move to Kunlun Cave Heaven when the time comes.
One reason is that the two factions have always had close ties. Second, there has been no news from the Kunlun ancestor in these years. By then, Kunlun Cave Heaven will need at least one Void-Breaking Being as a deterrent.
Similarly, the ancestor of the Soul Refining Sect has also disappeared for a long time, and the disciples of the Soul Refining Sect will move to Emei Cave Heaven at that time.
The Puppet Sect will form an alliance with Shushan. As for other righteous sects, without the existence of Poxu, the number of disciples is relatively small, and they will be scattered in three places. With this distribution, the three sects' cave secret realms will almost reach their capacity limit.
In the illusion, the Lingyuan Realm caught the Xuantian Realm off guard.
If they could prepare a hundred years in advance, with the strength of the Xuantian Realm, they would not necessarily be afraid of them.
After refining the last batch of Golden Spirit Pill, Li Yu came to the headquarters of Sun and Moon Sect.
When passing by his huge statue, Li Yu stopped briefly and absorbed all the power of faith in the statue.
During this period, the Thousand Faces Saint Lord has been living in the Sun and Moon Sect. He said he likes the atmosphere here.
The disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect are all over two hundred years old. Although in his eyes, they are considered the younger generation among the younger generations, but in terms of mentality, these Jindan stage disciples are not much worse than those who have broken through the void.
They are very open-minded about the future, and some even hold an expectant attitude.
Under normal circumstances, they would not be able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.
However, if they could kill dozens of people of the same level as the hostile forces and refine their golden elixirs, it would not be impossible to form a fetus. In peacetime, it would be almost impossible for them to do so, but in wartime, there would be fewer concerns when killing the enemies.
After handing the elixir to the Thousand-Faced Saint Lord, Li Yu returned to Kunlun again.
During this period of time, he had nothing to do except refining medicine.
The Taoist companions are in seclusion, Senior Sister Xu and Senior Sister Bai are in seclusion, the demon girl is also in seclusion in the Xuanyin Sect, and everyone is trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. It will take at least ten years, and at least three to five years, for the Barrier Breaking Pill to take full effect.
Ever since the last kiss and hug, Senior Sister Qin has been avoiding him, and matters related to the Lingyuan Realm are taken care of by Huashen, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
Since I'm idle in the sect anyway, I might as well find something to do.
Three days later.
News came from Yuxu Peak that the headmaster was in seclusion and the affairs of the sect were temporarily handed over to the elders for decision.
After the Nascent Soul stage, seclusion is the most normal thing, let alone for a genius like the master. From that day on, the Kunlun disciples have never seen him in the sect.
…
The Great Zhou Dynasty.
Royal capital.
A figure walked on the busy street, with the sound of hawkers constantly heard.
"Baozi, freshly baked buns."
"The quantity of top-grade Tongmai Pill is limited, first come first served!"
"Sir, come in and have a look. We have new tea for tasting..."
"A female cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining is looking for a Taoist companion who is at or above the sixth level of Qi Refining..."
…
This is Li Yu's first time to come to the Central Dynasty. The strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty is even above Kunlun. Not only do they have more Void Breaking, Spirit Transformation and Nascent Souls than Kunlun.
On the surface, this place doesn't seem much different from other countries, but the number of cultivators on the streets is far more than that in small countries such as Zhao and Jiang.
Li Yu met hundreds of immortal cultivators along the way.
Most of them were cultivating Qi, but there were also quite a few who were cultivating Foundation Pills. Li Yu even sensed two Nascent Souls.
This is a city where mortals and immortal cultivators live together.
On both sides of the street, there are shops for mortals and shops for cultivators, all mixed together. Passers-by seem to be accustomed to this. Mortals and cultivators live together in harmony. This scene is rarely seen in other places.
Li Yu walked around the street and finally came to a government office.
On the plaque at the entrance were inscribed the three large characters "Danbu Si". At the entrance of the yamen, there were two stone alchemy furnaces instead of two stone lions.
On the left wall, there was a piece of red paper with words on it: "Recruiting alchemists for a long term, with preferential treatment. Interested parties may discuss the matter in person..."
Training an alchemist not only consumes a lot of resources, but also requires guidance from high-level alchemists. Except for Kunlun, alchemists are scarce talents no matter where they are, even if they are only of the first rank.
Li Yu walked into the yamen with his hands behind his back.
After stepping through the gate, Li Yu smelled a familiar scent of elixir. He was so familiar with this smell that he could easily identify what kind of elixir it was and its grade based on the scent of the elixir.
A middle-aged man with messy hair came out of a duty room and said to Li Yu, "Stop, what are you doing?"
Li Yu said: "I'm here for the interview."
The man looked him over and asked, "Are you an alchemist?"
Li Yu nodded.
The man's expression was a little suspicious. After all, the person in front of him looked too young. He rarely saw such a young alchemist. Maybe the other party was just an apprentice of alchemy?
He waved his hand and said, "We don't accept apprentices ."
Li Yu said: "I am not an apprentice."
"And who are you?"
"I can refine first-level pills."
The man was obviously a little unconvinced. The young man in front of him should not be more than 30 years old. Judging from his demeanor and eyes, he did not look like an old fellow with the secret of maintaining his youth. However, if the other party was really powerful, he could not miss it. It happened that he had a furnace of Qi-recovering pills to refine. Hearing this, he said, "Then come in..."
Not long after, the middle-aged man looked at the ten high-quality Qi-restoring pills in the pill furnace. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he held the young man's hand and said with a smile: "My Dan Department needs talents like you..."
