Pursuing Longevity With an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 215 Return without success (two chapters in one)

The soldiers did not take off their armor without stopping. After the exchange between the two was completed, the next monk immediately took out his treasure and stated the exchange requirements at the same time.

Liu Yu's seat was relatively far back, and the completion of his transaction meant that the exchange meeting had come to an end.

After all, the subsequent transactions were mediocre and nothing eye-catching. They were far inferior to the auxiliary pill-forming spiritual objects and the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.

Since there was nothing of interest, Liu Yu did not make any further moves and watched the whole process quietly until the exchange meeting ended.

Thank you all fellow Taoists for coming all the way to participate in the exchange meeting organized by our Wu family.

This exchange meeting is over now. Fellow Taoists who have not exchanged the spiritual objects they want don't have to worry. You can still come and have a look next time.

The exchange meeting is usually held once every three to five years. It is designed to allow fellow Taoists to exchange knowledge. Interested fellow Taoists can leave transmission notes. When the exchange meeting starts, we can notify you in time.

Wu Weiguang smiled and held his hands in all directions, saying with a smile on his face.

The more monks who come to the exchange meeting, the more the Wu family will earn. Moreover, if any good treasures appear in the exchange meeting, with the family's heritage, the competitiveness will definitely be better than that of a single foundation-building monk.

Furthermore, mastering this channel is itself an intangible resource.

Definitely, definitely, I will come to support you when the time comes.

The people carrying the sedan chair were carrying people, and some monks also responded politely.

But more often than not, the attitude is indifferent and silent. Some monks will never come again after attending an exchange meeting.

Okay, that's it, Wu announced that this trade fair has officially ended.

For privacy reasons, all fellow Taoists are kindly asked to be divided into three groups and leave separately according to their seating arrangements, with one group leaving every half cup of tea.

Underground of this inn, there are eight exits leading to various parts of the city. Fellow Taoists, you can leave on your own.

Wu Weiguang announced.

not good.

After hearing this, Liu Yu secretly felt bad.

According to the seating order, he belongs to the third group to leave, while the monk named Zhou who received the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill belongs to the first group to leave. This way it is undoubtedly much more difficult to track.

Moreover, in full view of the public, many of the tracking methods in Essentials of Demonic Cultivation cannot be used.

After all, there were many experienced foundation-building monks present, and he felt that he could not do it perfectly yet. If he was not careful, the clues might be seen, and something might happen.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Liu Yu finally made up his mind.

According to the method recorded in the Mystical Method of Preserving God, the invisible spiritual consciousness began to move covertly, silently rushing toward the monk named Zhou, forming a secret, invisible mark somewhere on his calf.

This mark is within a range of four hundred miles, and Liu Yu can sense it through the secret technique of storing the records in the magical method, so as to track the target.

With his current range of consciousness, which is close to six miles, it is not much worse than that of the monks in the late stage of foundation establishment. He mainly relies on the magical method of preserving the divine magic. This little move was not noticed by many monks present.

As the mark was completed, Liu Yu slowly withdrew his consciousness. Seeing that none of the monks in the field showed any abnormality, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

squeak

Not long after Wu Weiguang finished speaking, the closed door suddenly opened and made a noise.

Including the monk surnamed Zhou, a dozen foundation-building monks in the front row stood up and walked downstairs.

The remaining monks did not make any changes. After all, this was indeed conducive to hiding their information, and several foundation-building monks from the Wu family were watching outside the door.

Not everyone wants to be the first to be the one who kills chickens to scare the monkeys.

Liu Yu, Qiu Zongxing, the female cultivator in yellow skirt and other remaining foundation-building monks waited quietly. There was no conversation during the period, and they all maintained a certain degree of vigilance among themselves.

It was only after half a cup of tea that the second group of monks, including the female monk in yellow skirt, stood up and left.

Most of the seats next to the round table were suddenly empty, making it seem a bit empty. Only a dozen Foundation-Building monks were left sitting quietly.

Whenever there was a moment of calm during major events, even though he had decided to intercept and kill the monk surnamed Zhou, Liu Yu still sat leisurely, feeling extremely calm.

In the time it takes to make a cup of tea, you can't run very far at the normal escape speed in the middle stage of foundation building. You can escape within a range of dozens of miles at most.

As long as it does not exceed the range of the secret induction, then you can use the escape boat to pursue, and everything is guaranteed.

Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have some important matters to take care of, so I won't leave with you later.

Liu Yu's divine consciousness transmitted the message.

Qiu Zongxing's bringing him here was a transaction in itself. Since the transaction had been completed and the two of them had no friendship, there was no need to leave together.

Okay, since Fellow Daoist Hong has important matters to deal with, let's part ways.

Fellow Daoist Hong, see you later.

If there are foundation-building elixirs, be sure to consider Jiapinju first. We will definitely give you a purchase price higher than the market price.

Qiu Zongxing replied, turning his head and nodding with a smile.

Knowing that Liu Yu was an alchemist who could refine foundation-building elixirs, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and the desire to have a good relationship with him was stronger than ever.

There are not many alchemists who can refine foundation-building elixirs. If you can make good friends with this Fellow Daoist Hong and purchase foundation-building elixirs from him for a long time, why worry about Jiapinju's business not being prosperous?

At this moment, Qiu Zongxing regretted very much because he led the way to introduce the two hundred spiritual stones he had accepted.

If a quarrel arises because of this, wouldn't it be a small gain at a loss?

Next time, definitely next time, see you soon, Fellow Daoist Qiu.

The half-tea time passed quickly, and the remaining monks began to leave one after another. Liu Yu stood up, cupped his hands slightly, and said through his spiritual consciousness.

After saying that, the two of them walked down the stairs together, saying goodbye again as if they were old friends for many years, and then walked towards different exits.

Just like the underground auction Liu Yu participated in during his Qi refining period, eight regular square openings had appeared on the first floor of the inn, revealing eight passages leading to unknown directions.

The passage is not completely dark, but has dim lights.

Liu Yu witnessed Qiu Zongxing walking into a cave entrance, and then without hesitation, he chose one of the cave entrances and walked down the stairs.

After entering, he pinched the spell in his hand and blessed himself with the wind control technique.

Suddenly, the speed surged, and in the blink of an eye, the distance was five to six feet, which was almost an afterimage in the eyes of mortals.

With keen spiritual awareness, after running about ten miles, a small door appeared in front of me.

There were no monks to guard him, and there was no formation mechanism. His consciousness scanned through the small door and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Liu Yu opened the small door and appeared in a small private house with ordinary furnishings.

Without any hesitation, he immediately used the tracking secret technique of Cun Shen Miao Fa. He quickly held the complex magic spell in his hand and sensed the location of the mark.

There was no joy or sadness on Liu Yu's face, but suddenly her expression changed, revealing a hint of a smile.

Through secret sensing, it was sensed that the monk surnamed Zhou had not left Wangyue City and was still moving slowly.

It looked like he was shopping, strolling around in the city, or visiting friends.

That's good, it saves me a lot of tracking time.

Liu Yu smiled coldly, then stretched out his hand to close the small door.

On the surface, there is not much difference between the area where the small door is located and the ground, and there are no big flaws.

If you didn't check carefully, you wouldn't have guessed that there was a hidden passage hidden underneath. It seems that the Wu family has been in business for a long time.

Liu Yu thought silently, opened the door and walked out, appearing in the busier area in the west of the city, far away from the loose cultivation area with many tents.

After going out, he kept walking towards the center of Wangyue City. He opened a private room in a shop selling spiritual food next to the City Lord's Mansion, ordered a few spiritual food and a pot of spiritual wine and started drinking it.

Wangyue City has four gates: southeast, northwest, and Liu Yu had no way of knowing which gate the monk surnamed Zhou would leave through after finishing his work.

But here is the center of the city, and the distance to the four city gates is almost the same. No matter which city gate it leaves from, the pursuit distance is the same.

The monk's spiritual sense is extremely sharp, and Liu Yu is currently unable to perfectly control his murderous intention. If he is followed at close range, he may be detected, making him wary, thus ruining a good thing.

For various reasons, he finally chose to use secret techniques to stay ahead of his position. When the monk surnamed Zhou left Wangyue City, he quickly pursued him and killed him with thunderous means without giving him a chance to react.

In this way, two hours passed. Liu Yu used a secret technique to sense the marked position every half an hour, but they were all in motion, and the position had changed slightly from the last time.

At that time, the movement could not be too big in public, so only the simplest mark was set. If the secret technique was used too frequently, it might be sensed, so it was most appropriate to use it once every half an hour.

Unconsciously, only the leftovers of the spiritual food were left, and not a drop of the spiritual wine was left. Liu Yu made a secret technique with her hands to sense the position of the monk surnamed Zhou again.

Suddenly, Liu Yu's face darkened and became a little ugly.

Because the secret technique was used this time, the position of the monk surnamed Zhou was not sensed.

There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that the distance is too far and beyond the range of mystical induction. The other is that the mark is discovered and has been destroyed and cannot be naturally sensed.

Liu Yu was leaning towards the second possibility.

Because the current induction range of the secret technique is about four hundred miles in radius, with the escape speed of the monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment, even if there is a magic weapon dedicated to flight escape, it will be difficult to achieve this.

He asked himself that even if he used the escape boat, he would not be able to do it. In half an hour, he would be able to escape beyond the induction range of the secret technique. This possibility was extremely small.

Instead, the mark is discovered and thus more likely to be destroyed.

Due to the circumstances at the time, the mark of divine consciousness was only left on the clothing somewhere on the calf of the monk surnamed Zhou. Although it was relatively secretive, the possibility of being discovered after careful inspection was not small.

And such a simple mark was very easy to destroy. A fireball spell turned the clothes into ashes.

I didn't expect that the first time I took the initiative, I missed it.

Liu Yu shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly. He paid and left the store. After walking around to make sure no one was following him, he walked towards the cave in the south of the city.

Without anyone noticing, he opened the formation without anyone noticing, returned to the cave, took off his disguise and restored his original appearance.

Sitting on the stone bench next to the table in the hall, Liu Yu summarized the reasons for the failure and the gains from this exchange meeting.

After thinking about it, I still feel that I made no obvious mistake.

Although he has the hidden spirit technique to hide his cultivation and aura, he cannot perfectly control his murderous intention from leaking out. In addition to various reasons, it is wise to choose to use secret techniques to locate him from a distance.

In the end, Liu Yu ruled out the possibility that it was beyond the sensing range, and the reason why the mark disappeared was unknown. Although this kind of mark is simple, the possibility of discovering it in general foundation building is extremely small.

The monk surnamed Zhou can discover and destroy the mark, not necessarily by himself, but also by a friend with deep cultivation.

But no matter what the reason is, it can only be said that his energy is not exhausted, and it is a pity that the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill was lost.

Liu Yu thought with some regret.

At this time, other than regretting the elixir, I had no other thoughts.

He learned from Essentials of Demonic Cultivation that even when the Golden Elixir Demon was in the foundation-building stage, he would not succeed every time. If he could succeed more than half of the time out of ten, he would be considered lucky.

At this exchange meeting, I didn’t get any elixirs or body-building exercises for improving my cultivation, but I could get some elixirs for nourishing my mind, which was a worthwhile trip.

Although what I want most right now is a superior body-training technique, how can everything in life go as planned? We can only take one step at a time.

Liu Yu took out the jade slip that recorded the elixir prescription, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and began to watch the entire content.

Requiem Grass, Purple Smoke Fruit and White Ginseng Fruit

The behavior of collecting and storing spiritual grass seeds for so many years has had an effect. Liu Yu was surprised to find that all the spiritual grass needed to refine the spiritual nourishing pill had seeds in the fairy mansion.

He was slightly happy. This would undoubtedly save a lot of effort in collecting spiritual herbs. He could just ripen the seeds directly in the Immortal Mansion, and it wouldn't take long to refine the spirit-nourishing pill.

The Nourishing Pill uses Requiem Grass and another kind of Purple Smoke Fruit as the main medicine, plus twenty-nine kinds of auxiliary materials, which are refined according to different formula ratios. The total number of main medicines and auxiliary medicines reaches an astonishing thirty-one.

This is the most difficult elixir Liu Yu has ever made since he made elixirs. Even the ancient Qing Yuan Dan cannot compare with it.

The main function of the Nourishing Pill is to nourish and increase the spiritual consciousness. Of course, it also has the effect of reassuring and calming the soul. After the combination of many auxiliary medicines, the effect of the Requiem Grass is fully exerted, which is much better than taking the spiritual grass directly.

While thinking about it, Liu Yu put the jade slip back into the storage bag, and took out the spiritual grass experience and watched it for a while.

When there are no more waves or ripples in the inner lake, I will come to practice and start daily practice.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, first took Qingyuan Dan to practice Qingyang Gong, and completed daily meditation to practice Qi and improve his cultivation.

Then the Requiem Grass swallowed the Requiem Grass and practiced the magic method of preserving the spirit three times, slowly but surely increasing the range and intensity of the divine consciousness.

This is a daily practice task that must be done, and it has been this way for more than ten years.

After completing his training mission, he immediately entered the Immortal Mansion, found out the seeds of the spiritual grass needed to refine the spirit-nourishing pill one by one, and planted them in the black spiritual field to ripen.

After all the spiritual herbs were matured and the pill recipe was fully understood, Liu Yu did not immediately start refining the spirit-nourishing pill.

Instead, he first refined the Qing Yuan Dan, became familiar with the new alchemy techniques, and thoroughly mastered the alchemy techniques obtained from the Qing Bamboo Alchemy Sutra before officially starting to refine the Nourishing Pill.

After all, it takes about fifty-five spiritual stones to ripen a spiritual herb for refining a spiritual nourishing pill, which is not a small amount for Liu Yu and cannot be squandered casually.

…

The legs blessed with the wind control technique were running and jumping in the forest. Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness, which had reached a range of seven miles, glanced around with great caution.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and the sect's mission came again.
