Chapter 37 Five Elements Spiritual Veins
Danding Peak.
Inside the small courtyard, Li Yu didn't know yet that the entire Kunlun was boiling because of him. Just now, he took the Tongmai Pill and was checking the condition of his spiritual veins.
He originally only had three spiritual veins, but was tricked by that old thing into taking a Qi Gathering Pill, which opened up an earth spiritual vein. Now he has four spiritual veins. This spiritual vein was newly opened, and his cultivation level has not yet been improved, so the meridian-opening pill naturally chose the earth spiritual vein.
Now, he has five acupoints in the Wood Spiritual Vein, four acupoints in the Fire Spiritual Vein and Water Spiritual Vein, two acupoints in the Earth Spiritual Vein, and one acupoint in the Gold Spiritual Vein that has not been opened.
This made Li Yu, who had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, feel uncomfortable all over.
Three would be fine, now there is only one missing from the five elements, and he always wanted to make it a whole number. But when he thought about adding one more spiritual vein and the difficulty of building the foundation would double, he forced himself to suppress the idea.
After Elder Sun entrusted all his assets to him, Li Yu had a little over 36,000 spirit coins on him, which could be exchanged for 36 Tongmai Pills. Unfortunately, all the Tongmai Pills were intercepted by Jiang Li's master. If he wanted to buy them, he would have to wait at least until next month.
Originally, Li Yu had some complaints about this overbearing behavior, but since it was given to Jiang Li, he didn't care.
Li Yu returned to the underground alchemy room and took out the things Jiang Li had just given him.
The two things in his hands were a ring and a talisman.
Li Yu found the book "Collection of Talismans" and compared them one by one according to the patterns on it. Finally, he found the Purple Thunder Talisman among the third-level talismans.
The third-level talisman corresponds to the Jindan stage. Even if it is a disposable consumable, the selling price is 10,000 spirit coins per piece. The Purple Sky Thunder Talisman is a high-level talisman among the third-level talismans. It cannot be bought without 20,000 spirit coins. Usually, it is even more out of stock.
This talisman contains a ray of divine purple thunder, which is comparable to the full-strength attack of a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Of course, not everyone can use the third-level talisman. The mana consumed just to activate this talisman is enough to drain Li Yu dry more than ten times. To safely activate this Purple Thunder Talisman, one must at least have the strength of the initial stage of foundation building.
If one wants to forcefully activate it during the Qi Refining Stage, one needs to take a whole bottle of Qi Recovery Pills in advance, and even then, one will still hurt oneself.
As for the fourth-level talisman, it cannot be activated in the Qi Refining Stage. The speed at which the Qi Recovery Pill recovers Qi is not as fast as the speed at which the talisman absorbs magic power, and it can suck him dry in an instant.
This talisman is of higher grade than the one Elder Sun gave him. Li Yu kept it close to his body. This would be his greatest life-saving trump card.
Then, Li Yu looked at the ring.
Judging from the grade of this talisman, the value of this ring should not be low. Li Yu scanned it with his divine sense and already had an idea in his mind.
This is the space magic weapon he has always dreamed of.
A space magic weapon that has never been recognized and refined.
Although the space inside is not large, only about two meters in length, width and height, it is more than enough for Li Yu. His pills, talismans, magic tools and spirit coins can all be stored in it with more than enough.
Li Yu was unable to estimate the value of this space ring, because it was not sold in the sect's market, and it could not be bought even with spirit coins. Most of the deacons in the Foundation Establishment stage did not have one, and only the sect's Jindan elders could barely get one each.
Li Yu bit his fingertips and dripped a drop of blood onto the ring. As the runes on the surface of the ring flashed, the drop of blood was quickly absorbed and soon disappeared.
At the same time, a mysterious connection was established between Li Yu and the space ring.
Anyone can open a space ring that has never been recognized by its owner.
Once the blood is dripped to recognize the owner, only Li Yu's spiritual consciousness can open it. Even if the ring is lost or stolen, others cannot easily obtain the items inside.
When his spiritual sense swept over just now, Li Yu discovered that there was something in this space ring.
In the corner of the ring space, there were more than a dozen boxes, some were jade boxes, some were wooden boxes. Li Yu locked them with his divine sense. As soon as he thought about it, a faint light flashed on the space ring, and all the things in the space appeared on the stone platform in front of Li Yu.
Li Yu counted and found that there were twelve boxes on the stone platform.
He opened them one by one and found that the boxes were filled with various spiritual herbs and medicines that he could not name. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy on them, the spiritual energy contained in each one was no weaker than the red fruit and lotus he had absorbed before.
If this level of spiritual medicine is sold to a sect, one plant can be sold for about five hundred to one thousand spiritual coins. Especially rare ones can be more expensive.
Of course Li Yu would not sell it. Instead of selling it to the sect, it would be better for him to absorb it himself. Firstly, all the Tongmai Pills this month were intercepted by Jiang Li's master, and he could not spend the spirit coins from the sales. Secondly, exchanging them for spirit coins could only improve Li Yu's own cultivation, and by absorbing them through the Qiankun Furnace, he could also repair it at the same time.
Such a broken furnace can bring so many benefits to Li Yu. If he waits for it to be fully repaired, what will happen...
Being so close to these elixirs, Li Yu could feel a faint desire in his chest.
After a slight hesitation, Li Yu picked up an unknown spiritual herb with fire attribute. As expected, when his fingers touched the spiritual medicine, all the medicinal power was absorbed into his body, and the spiritual herb turned into ashes.
As a hot current rushed in, the fifth acupoint of the Fire Spirit Vein in his body was opened.
Li Yu used the Qiankun Furnace to directly absorb spiritual medicines, which had another benefit. It was that it could designate a spiritual vein. If it absorbed spiritual medicines of fire attribute, it would open up the acupoints of the fire spiritual vein. If it absorbed spiritual medicines of wood attribute, it would open up the acupoints of the wood spiritual vein. The same was true for the other spiritual veins.
Logically speaking, it would be better for him to absorb the elixir than to take Tongmai Dan.
However, in Kunlun, spiritual medicines are not sold individually. All rare spiritual medicines are given to high-level alchemists for refining, and he has no access to them at all.
There are twelve spiritual medicinal herbs, four of which are of fire attribute, three of water attribute, two of wood attribute, and one of earth attribute. These ten spiritual herbs are inductively connected to the four spiritual veins in Li Yu's body, so he easily determined it.
As for the remaining two, Li Yu's spiritual veins did not respond. Using the process of elimination, it was not difficult to guess that these were two gold-attributed spiritual medicines.
Looking at the last two spiritual herbs, Li Yu was a little hesitant.
As long as he touches any of these two spiritual medicines with his hand, the golden spiritual vein in his body will be opened, and the difficulty of building the foundation will increase by 20%. Logically speaking, he should not do this.
But if he didn't do this, he always felt like something was missing.
He is a perfectionist. He already has four of the five elements, only missing one. He feels uncomfortable just thinking about it.
After a moment, a gleam of determination flashed in Li Yu's eyes, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
Anyway, there are already four spiritual veins, and one more won’t do. It will only take one or two years to build the foundation at most.
As a warm current flowed into his body, he shivered and let out a long sigh.
"Comfortable..."
All five spiritual veins were opened, but Li Yu did not have any special feeling. Although each of his spiritual veins had not reached the second level of Qi Refining, the depth of his magic power was comparable to that of the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Compared with the average Qi Refining Level 4, he is not particularly biased and is a true pentagonal warrior.
After he builds his foundation, he will be able to unlock three other types of spells: wind, thunder, and ice. Among people of the same level, he will have few rivals.
Even in a large sect like Kunlun, these pentagonal warriors are rare.
Li Yu sank his consciousness into the mysterious space. The broken alchemy furnace had not changed much in general, but the few tiny cracks on the two words "Qian Kun" had completely disappeared.
This basically verifies Li Yu's guess that this alchemy furnace can absorb the five elements of spiritual energy, soul and other energies to repair itself.
A moment later, Li Yu left the alchemy room and walked into the yard when he heard a knock on the door.
He opened the gate and saw Wu Tong standing outside. There were also some figures looking around. When they saw Li Yu, they all spoke.
"Is this the Junior Brother Li?"
"He is indeed handsome."
"He's so lucky..."
Wu Tong flashed into the yard, closed the gate, and handed a jingling bag to Li Yu. Li Yu opened it and saw that the bag was full, probably containing a thousand spirit coins.
Li Yu asked: "Why give me spirit coins?"
Wu Tongdao: "Liu Dong made money by telling stories. According to the rules of our industry, you are the party involved, so you get 60%, and we two get 20%..."
After saying that, he looked at the ring on Li Yu's hand with envy, and murmured: "This is a space magic weapon, the kind that is priceless. Many elders in the foundation building stage don't have it. Junior Sister Jiang is really generous to you... "
Li Yu did not explain too much. There were some things between him and Jiang Li that the disciples of Baiyun Temple did not know.
When the two of them first arrived at Baiyun Temple, they went into the mountains together to look for medicine. Jiang Li was bitten by a poisonous snake. If Li Yu had not risked his life to suck out the poisonous blood for her, she would have died two years ago.
The snake was very poisonous. Jiang Li was saved, but Li Yu was poisoned. Fortunately, Elder Sun intervened and saved his life.
They are friends of life and death...
