Chapter 64 Li Yu's Discovery
Purple Cloud Peak.
Li Yu was playing with the flying sword given to him by Shushan, and he couldn't let it go.
The function of magic weapons is to increase the strength of cultivators. The more powerful the magic weapon, the greater the increase in magic power. Of course, this also has requirements for the magic weapon itself. The higher the level of the magic weapon, the more magic power it can carry, and naturally the greater the power.
The flying sword that the sect gave out for free before could only carry about 60% of Li Yu's magic power. If the limit was exceeded, the magic weapon itself would be destroyed. However, this flying sword produced by Shushan showed no signs of collapse even if Li Yu poured all the magic power of his five spiritual veins and more than ten levels of Qi refining into it. The sword even emitted a faint fluorescence.
If this sword were to strike out, no one except a person of the ninth level of Qi Refining with a Golden Spirit Vein would be able to resist it with his own magic power.
Although Li Yu had practiced Taoism for more than half a year, learned alchemy and magic, he was actually a warrior at heart and was more eager for close combat.
What's the point of two people throwing fireballs at each other while hiding far away? This is not the kind of fight Li Yu longs for. A real man should fight with real fists and hand-to-hand combat. In this respect, he is more attracted to the fighting style of the Shushan disciples.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, or what kind of cultivation he has, I can kill him with one sword.
After a moment, Li Yu put away the sword and looked back at the fairy clothes on his body.
The immortal robes of the Emei Sect, like the elixirs of Kunlun, are very popular in the cultivation world. As far as Li Yu could see, whether it was Jiang Li, Senior Sister Xu, or Junior Sister Zheng, they were all wearing the immortal robes of Emei.
Li Yu initially thought that this was just a magic weapon for defense. After exploration, he found that this piece of clothing could not only change color at will, but even change style. It was much higher grade than the uniforms of Kunlun Sect's disciples.
Li Yu originally wanted to buy a defensive fairy robe and an offensive magic weapon. These two gifts saved him a lot of spirit coins.
It is tiring to refine 500 first-grade pills for the sect every month, but the spirit coins earned from it are also very generous . Anyway, those spirit coins will be just sitting there, so Li Yu simply gave Zhou Zixuan a first-grade fairy robe.
She practiced in the sect and was supported by Li Yu. She didn't need to go out on missions and there was no danger. A first-grade fairy dress was enough for her. Most importantly, it looked good and was pleasing to Li Yu's eyes.
What woman doesn't love beauty? A fairy dress produced by Emei that can change color and style at will according to one's mood is the dream of female disciples from all major sects. Zhou Zixuan was reluctant to take it off after wearing it.
She held up the hem of her skirt, turned around, and said to Li Yu embarrassedly: "Thank you..."
The price of this fairy robe is several thousand spirit coins, which is much more expensive than Tongmai Pill. She follows Li Yu and only extracts and purifies some spirit fluids. She gets three Tongmai Pills every month, and this fairy robe...
He was so good to her, she didn't know how to repay him.
Li Yu looked at her. Senior Sister Zhou looked really good in her new clothes. No wonder the fairy clothes of Emei were so famous. When worn on the body, these fairy clothes could automatically adjust the size according to the body shape of the owner of the clothes, showing off her beautiful figure to the fullest.
He waved his hands and said, "What are you thanking me for? Back then, you only had a string of candied haws and you were willing to give me half of it. What's the big deal about a piece of clothing? Besides, this dress looks good on you and I am happy to see it..."
Zhou Zixuan's face turned slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed.
The reason she gave him half of the candied haws was because he was handsome. Such a cute little brother stared at her without blinking, and her girlish heart melted. How could she bear not to give it to him?
After admiring Senior Sister Zhou's graceful figure for a while, Li Yu carried Ling'er and walked out of the yard.
Several elderly people were still playing mahjong to pass the time. Li Yu stood behind one of them and said, "Old Shen, aren't you a spirit beast master? Please teach me how to raise a spirit pet..."
These foundation-building elders who live and work in Ziyun Peak have all kinds of professions, including alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman masters, formation masters, mechanism masters, spirit beast masters... Li Yu knows a few of them.
Old Shen is a spirit beast master who lives diagonally opposite Li Yu. He has raised spirit beasts for Kunlun all his life and still owes Li Yu several hundred spirit coins. He doesn't talk much and never says anything to Li Yu. After playing a game, he goes back to the house with his hands behind his back. When he comes out, he throws a book to Li Yu.
"I'll give you this book, and we'll owe each other nothing."
Li Yu reached out to take it. It was a manual for raising animals with many densely packed notes on it. The content was very detailed, with detailed descriptions from raising babies to preserving the fetus.
Like alchemists, spirit beast masters are also an indispensable profession in the world of immortal cultivation.
The strength of an immortal cultivator cannot be simply judged by the depth of his magic power. One must also consider the bonuses of elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, and formations. When fighting against disciples of the Puppet Sect, the same applies to fighting against demons. One must be wary of their spirit corpses. When fighting against disciples of the Soul Refining Sect, one must be careful of their spirit ghosts...
Some powerful spirit beasts can fight alongside their masters. Some spirit beasts raised by humans are even stronger than themselves.
The Beast Taming Sect, one of the ten Taoist sects, is famous for training spiritual beasts and mounts, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Li Yu wanted to learn how to tame beasts, not because he wanted to make Ling'er obedient, but because he wanted to improve its strength. After all, a tiger's lifespan is not long, only about ten to twenty years under normal circumstances, which is much shorter than that of humans. Only when its strength is improved can it live longer.
As for how to improve the strength of spiritual beasts, our ancestors had long ago figured out a set of methods and even developed a branch of the beast taming school.
Just like humans, if you want to quickly improve the strength of your spirit pet, the easiest way is to take elixirs. The human body has meridians, and spirit beasts actually have them too. That is why Li Yu's Qi Gathering Pill can allow it to embark on the path of cultivation.
Li Yu found the information about tiger-type spirit pets in this animal breeding manual.
Many cultivators like to use monsters such as tigers and leopards as mounts, and have done more research on tigers. This manual says that tiger monsters have a spiritual vein and eighty-one acupuncture points in their bodies.
Tongmai Dan can help practitioners open up acupuncture points, and can also help monsters.
However, the sect's Tongmai Pills have long been subject to real-name purchase restrictions. Li Yu can buy them for her and Zhou Zixuan, but he can't buy them for Ling'er. After all, the sect's Tongmai Pills are far from enough for ordinary disciples. If he gives them to his spirit pets, what will those disciples who have worked hard for several months or even a year to earn one Tongmai Pill think?
Those second-generation immortals have no shortage of spirit coins. Once the Tongmai Pill can be given to spirit pets, low-level disciples may not be able to buy even one.
It seems that he can only wait until he becomes a second-grade alchemist and can refine Tongmai Pills by himself, before he can quickly improve its strength .
Li Yu had no doubt about whether Ling'er could build a foundation. Although it was just a tiger, its talent for cultivation was much better than Li Yu and Zhou Zixuan. It could open up an acupoint in about a month. Even if Li Yu didn't care about it, it could cultivate to the level equivalent to the tenth level of Qi Refining within ten years.
There is no way to use the Tongmai Pill for the time being. There are two other kinds of pills suitable for spirit pets.
One is the Kailing Pill, and the other is the Xisui Pill.
The Kailing Pill is used to enhance the intelligence of monsters. Compared with other tigers, Ling'er is quite smart, but this is only compared with the intelligence of animals. Compared with humans, it is far behind.
By taking the elixir, you can gradually improve its intelligence.
A top-level spiritual pet, whose IQ is not inferior to that of humans.
If you don't improve your intelligence, even if your strength increases, you're still just a stupid monster. The righteous disciples who kill demons and monsters are those stupid monsters who have strength but no brains and only know how to rush forward based on instinct.
The marrow cleansing pill is used to strengthen the body.
Human cultivators can use all kinds of magic spells, but before monsters can form monster pills and transform into humans, they still have to rely more on their bodies. They use spiritual pills to improve their intelligence and marrow cleansing pills to strengthen their bodies. Coupled with their natural strength advantage, they can also exert considerable strength.
These two kinds of elixirs are sold in the Zixiao Peak Market.
With Li Yu's current strength, he can refine pills of this grade, and he can also find the recipe. The problem lies in the materials. One pill requires more than ten or twenty kinds of materials. It is difficult for an individual to collect all of them in a short period of time. It is more convenient to buy the finished pills directly.
But the price is a bit higher.
The sect sells a bottle of Kailing Pill and Xisui Pill for one thousand spirit coins, which is only enough for ten days of consumption. It costs more spirit coins to raise it than to raise Senior Sister Zhou. In the world of cultivating immortals, there are very few people who can afford to raise spirit beasts.
Fortunately, Li Yu is an alchemist. Although this amount of spiritual coins is not a small amount for him, it is still within his affordability.
Li Yu went to the Zixiao Peak market and bought a few bottles of Kailing Pills and Xisui Pills. According to what was written in the book, he fed it one of each pill every day. Whether it was Kailing Pills or Xisui Pills, the effects would only be accumulated over time and would take several years of persistence to be effective. Li Yu was not in a hurry to see any changes in it.
The witch never contacted him, and Li Yu's life became peaceful again.
Every day I make elixirs and play tiger-playing. In my spare time, I also read some books on talismans, formations, and mechanical techniques.
There are countless ways to cultivate immortality, and all kinds of knowledge are so vast that no one can master it all. Li Yu only dabbled in it superficially to expand his knowledge.
He even took out the book on magic cultivation techniques that he had seized from the Puppet Sect's disciples and flipped through it.
Upon seeing this, Li Yu discovered something very interesting.
The magic technique that Zhao Long practiced was called "The Art of the Underworld". Judging from the several spells recorded in the booklet, it was an earth-attributed technique, but it was different from the "The Art of Thick Earth" practiced by Li Yu.
To be precise, the two techniques are completely opposite.
The "Hou Tu Jue" practiced by Li Yu starts from Yinbai acupoint and ends at Dabao acupoint.
The "Underworld Secret" that Zhao Long practiced started from the Dabao point and ended at the Yinbai point.
The meridians and acupoints of the two exercises are exactly the same, but the order is reversed, one is practiced in the forward direction and the other in the reverse direction.
No wonder the righteous and evil sects have been arguing endlessly about who is the orthodox one. Both are cultivating spiritual veins, but in opposite orders. Everyone thinks they are the orthodox one...
Especially, speaking of the Earth Spiritual Vein alone, the Yinbai acupoint is on the foot, and the Dabao acupoint is between the ribs. The righteous way of cultivation is from bottom to top, while the devil's way of cultivation is from top to bottom. If the righteous way insists that it is the righteous one, it seems that it cannot convince others, at least the devil will not accept it...
