Chapter 122: Golden Core Twelve Levels
Closing the mountain means abandoning all the sect's resources outside, tightening the defense, and relying on the sect protection formation to continue the sect's fundamental behavior.
For the top sects in Qingzhou, they would never take such action unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, the territory of a large sect is more than tens of millions of miles. In such a huge territory, a large number of resources cannot be moved and recycled, which is equivalent to discarding them all, and the loss is too great.
But now, the five sects of the Blood Spirit Cult have chosen to take such a move, which undoubtedly shows that they have reached the end of their rope.
Once the five sects of the Blood Spirit Cult announce the closure of the mountain, there will only be eight top sects left in Qingzhou, and the situation in Qingzhou will be completely changed! A cultivator looked back and was surprised to find that the origin of all this was actually because of a young cultivator.
Lu Yi, the immortal from Baiyun Sect.
Initially, it was entirely due to the feud between the Blood Spirit Sect and the White Cloud Sect that the Blood Spirit Sect and the Sky Snake Sect joined forces to send people to surround and kill Lu Yi in the Donglin Ancient Ruins. The siege failed, and the turmoil became increasingly serious, like an ever-expanding vortex, which eventually swallowed up the five top sects in Qingzhou.
Everyone was surprised to find that the final outcome was also due to Lu Yi. If Lu Yi had not condensed the realm of swordsmanship and demonstrated his absolute talent, several sects in Qingzhou would probably have been wavering.
For a time, Lu Yi's name spread almost throughout Qingzhou, and even other states had heard of it. After all, Lu Yi's performance in the kendo conference was too amazing, and the fact that the Son of Tianlong was defeated miserably by Lu Yi in the first battle attracted more attention for a time.
At this moment, Lu Yi did not care about the sounds from the outside world. He returned to his quiet state of cultivation.
Every day he either exchanges ideas with his senior brothers and sisters Liu Ningshuang, Donggong Mingyue and Ling Luofeng, or practices magic techniques, formations, spiritual food cooking, etc. through tasks, or he just practices.
Now Lu Yi has a lot of hundred-year spiritual marrows in his hands, and even some thousand-year spiritual marrows and ten-thousand-year spiritual marrows, and his cultivation speed is quite fast.
Two years later, Lu Yi's cultivation broke through to the peak of the Golden Core stage.
He issued a task to break the Heavenly Limits of the Golden Core Realm and break through to the eleventh level of the Golden Core.
The reward did not disappoint Lu Yi. It was also related to the foundation of Taoism and was called Dao Jade.
It must be the same treasure as the Dao Lingzhu. However, considering that I am now in the Jindan realm, I am afraid that the Dao Jade is more precious than the Dao Lingzhu.
Lu Yi was naturally happy to accept the task and continued to practice.
These days, every time Lu Yi went to run errands for his master, he would hear some information from the market from time to time.
After the five sects closed their mountains, the other sects were undoubtedly the biggest winners and began to divide up the territories left by the five sects.
Among them, the Baiyun Sect obtained more resources because of the existence of Elder Ming, a Dongxu sword cultivator, and Lu Yi's extraordinary talent.
Of the five sects' territories, Baiyun Sect was allocated one, and all of the Blood Spirit Sect's territories were incorporated into the scope of Baiyun Sect. The territories of the two sects were originally connected, and now they are completely integrated.
For the independent practitioners and mortals of the Blood Spirit Sect, this is undoubtedly a good thing.
Not to mention that Lu Yi may become an immortal in the future and turn Baiyun Sect into a holy land for immortals, so that the spiritual energy in other areas can also increase this possibility.
The lives of the independent cultivators and mortals under the rule of the Blood Spirit Sect were extremely difficult. They might be dragged out to mine at any time. Even the Blood Spirit Sect monks themselves absorbed essence and blood to practice martial arts, and they might be refined into blood essence.
It was okay for the independent cultivators with high cultivation. If they were careful, they could go to other places to develop. But how could the independent cultivators and mortals with weak cultivation leave the vast territory? No matter how dark it was, they could only endure it.
In comparison, the situation under the Baiyun Sect is undoubtedly better than that under the Xueling Sect.
The Baiyun Sect took one territory alone, and the remaining four territories were distributed among the other seven sects.
Among them, Wanhua Sect and Handong Valley Sect were the two sects that were originally related to Baiyun Sect. The two sects were each allocated most of the sect's territory. The same was true for Wenjian Villa. The territories allocated to the three sects were almost the same, and when added up, they were almost close to the territories of the three sects.
The Tiexin Sect and the Hongyun Sect joined the sect at the very end, which was icing on the cake. The two sects together shared a territory that was less than that of one other sect.
The last Black Jade Peak and Demonic Scale Valley joined in because the battle was almost over, and they made almost no contribution, only getting some corners.
Although this made Black Jade Peak and Demonic Scale Valley very dissatisfied, they could do nothing about it.
Of course, they did not join the war at the beginning, but joined at the end, and suffered almost no losses. The reason why they were allocated the spoils was entirely because the dust settled only after they took sides.
Otherwise, I'm afraid not even the last corner will be left for them.
The entire landscape of Qingzhou has completely changed in the past one or two years. The Baiyun Sect has made considerable progress and the various resources it has obtained have increased a lot compared to before.
Not only that, when the news of Lu Yi's talent as a swordsman spread, the entire Qingzhou, even the talented cultivators from small and medium-sized sects and families in other territories, would flock to the Baiyun Sect.
They all went there for Lu Yi's reputation.
After all, if Lu Yi really becomes a sword immortal in the future, Baiyun Sect will become an immortal sect. Being a disciple of an immortal sect will naturally be very promising.
That's right. Every time Lu Yi went to the market, he felt that there were a lot more people.
When all the disciples saw Lu Yi, they would greet him with a smile and be very respectful.
Another year passed, and Lu Yi reached the peak of the Golden Core. With his foundation, it was natural for him to break through the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao and enter the eleventh level of the Golden Core.
After the breakthrough, Lu Yi also obtained the Dao Jade.
It was a palm-sized piece of beautiful jade that flashed with colorful light. Mysterious Taoist patterns flashed inside it. Although it was placed in Lu Yi's hand, it seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth and could disappear at any time. It was obviously an extremely precious treasure.
This Dao Jade, like the Dao Spirit Pearl, contains innate Dao patterns, but the Dao patterns contained in the Dao Jade are obviously more mysterious and more numerous.
Lu Yi carefully put away this great treasure, which was the precious treasure he needed to break through the Nascent Soul stage.
Afterwards, Lu Yi began to practice again.
Three years later, Donggong Mingyue broke through to the Golden Core Realm, which shocked the Baiyun Sect for a while. Although Donggong Mingyue was older than Liu Ningshuang when he broke through, he was still a peerless genius and would be a monstrous figure who could dominate the Eastern Region in the future.
The three disciples of Lingluo Peak Master are more talented than the other, which makes the other peak masters envious, but there is nothing they can do.
After a few more months, Lu Yi finally completed his accumulation and broke through another level of Heavenly Dao restrictions, reaching the twelfth level of Golden Elixir.
At this level, even for Lu Yi, it would take a long time to break through.
Although this is still frighteningly fast compared to that of ordinary monks.
Something big happened these days and the news reached Baiyun Sect.
Qingqiu Hua, the descendant of the Demon Emperor of the Northern Demon Land, made breakthroughs in his cultivation after obtaining the inheritance of the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor. He reached the fusion realm at an unimaginable speed, shaking the entire Demon Land and even alarming other major regions.
After all, the improvement in cultivation was too fast. Even if an immortal was reincarnated and cultivated again, it would not be at such a speed.
Some people speculate that Qingqiu Hua not only obtained the inheritance of the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor, but also obtained her entire body of cultivation, and she only needs to integrate them to break through directly.
Some people also say that the blood essence of the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor was obtained by Qingqiu Hua, which sublimated Qingqiu Hua's bloodline again and even reached the level of a nine-tailed fairy fox.
Regardless of the reason, the commotion caused by Qingqiu Painting was too big and attracted the attention of the entire Tianming. Many elders from the holy land of the immortal sect turned their eyes over.
There were even many assassination attempts by forces hostile to the Qingqiu Fox Clan. The most terrifying one was when the Tribulation-crossing monks were dispatched and attacked the Qingqiu ancestral land. In the end, the Tribulation-crossing monks left and everything returned to peace.
No one knew what happened that day, but not long after, Qingqiu Hua took out the immortal weapon left by the Qingqiu clan and attacked with one blow, turning a monster from the Qinglong clan who was also in the fusion realm and even had the hope of becoming an immortal into ashes.
This caused the entire demon land to become turbulent. The Qinglong clan was not weaker than the Qingqiu clan. Qingqiu Hua acted so decisively and fiercely that he even used the immortal weapon that suppressed the ancestral land. It was conceivable that he had the support of the elders of the Qingqiu clan.
There is so much information contained in this.
Many cultivators discussed that the tribulation-receiving cultivator who had broken into the Qingqiu ancestral land was the elder and powerful man of the Qinglong clan.
Otherwise, even if Qingqiu Hua had extraordinary talent, the elders of the Qingqiu clan would not allow her to act so recklessly.
This is already a declaration of war.
The Demon Land became very lively, which made the cultivators from several other major domains watch the show happily, hoping that they would get their dog brains beaten out.
When Lu Yi heard the news, he felt a little regretful.
Qingqiu Hua's vixen is really fierce, she didn't die even after this...
Lu Yi only hoped that Qingqiu Hua had forgotten the unpleasantness of the past and would not cause him trouble, otherwise he would feel a little panicked.
On this day, in the sky not far from the Baiyun Sect's main gate, within a radius of dozens of miles, snow was falling all over the sky, and golden sword lights were flashing.
boom!!
A roar was heard, and the flying snow was blown away by the violent aftermath, and the dark clouds in the sky dissipated.
Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang stood opposite each other, golden sword lights were flowing around Lu Yi, and Liu Ningshuang's snow-white hair was fluttering. There were still residual spiritual fluctuations around both of them, and the distortion in the sky was now slowly subsiding.
Liu Ningshuang exhaled a breath of cold air, and her aura became much weaker. Looking at Lu Yi, who was as graceful and elegant as a peerless swordsman, she smiled helplessly: "Junior brother, you have improved too fast. I am no longer your opponent."
Lu Yi smiled slightly: "Senior sister's cultivation speed is not slow either. She has already reached the sixth level of Nascent Soul. The advantage I have over you is in the realm of mind."
Liu Ningshuang frowned slightly and sighed, "It is very difficult to comprehend artistic conception. Even I haven't made much progress recently. It will take some time before I can reach the artistic conception of nine-tenths ice."
Lu Yi nodded slightly. He thought about it and said, "Senior Sister, this may be useful to you."
As he spoke, Lu Yi took out the Ice Spirit Pearl.
Liu Ningshuang was stunned when she saw the Ice Spirit Pearl emitting a hint of chill. There was surprise on her pretty face: "Is this the Ice Spirit Pearl?"
Lu Yi smiled and nodded: "Well, I got it by chance some time ago, and I'm giving it to you, Senior Sister."
Liu Ningshuang's expression suddenly became complicated. She looked at Lu Yi and said, "Junior brother, this Ice Spirit Pearl is too precious. Even the Hanli Sword cannot compare to this Ice Spirit Pearl. It is best for you to use it yourself."
No, it's really useless to me...
Lu Yi complained in his heart.
Although this Ice Spirit Pearl can indeed allow him to comprehend the artistic conception of ice, he can obviously improve it by using the sparring tasks, so why use this natural treasure? It is better to give it to his own senior sister. When his own senior sister's strength is improved, the rewards for the sparring tasks will be more generous.
Now that I can beat my senior sister in competition, naturally I often compete with her and issue tasks.
【Task】
Defeat Liu Ningshuang
Reward: Enhanced ice state of mind, 20 drops of Millennium Spirit
Completed
Do you want to receive the reward: Yes/No
This reward is quite generous, with 20 drops of Millennium Spirit Essence. This is just one exchange. As long as he exchanges more exercises with his senior sister every day, he won't have to worry about resources for cultivation anymore.
Not to mention the improvement of the artistic conception of ice.
In these years, Lu Yi often practiced with his senior sister, and his ice state of mind has even exceeded 90%, which is stronger than his senior sister.
It's just that he basically doesn't need to use it now.
If the senior sister is stronger, her sparring rewards will only be more generous.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "I am practicing swordsmanship, so this Ice Spirit Pearl is not very useful to me. Senior sister, you are a congenital ice spirit body. With this Ice Spirit Pearl, it won't take long for you to condense your own ice realm."
Liu Ningshuang hesitated for a moment. She was silent for a moment, with a very complicated expression, and then she said, "As your senior sister, I have only accompanied you in cultivation and explained Taoism and magic to you. I haven't even helped you in any way. You have already given me the Hanli Sword, so how can I take this?"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "To me, Senior Brother, Senior Sister's bottle of top-grade Qi Condensation Pill is more precious than this Hanli Sword and Bingling Pearl."
Liu Ningshuang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Do you still remember that bottle of top-grade Qi Condensation Pill?"
Lu Yi smiled slightly, looked at Liu Ningshuang and said, "Of course I remember. Junior Brother will always remember it in his heart."
Liu Ningshuang's cold eyes actually showed a slight fluctuation. She slightly shifted her gaze and smiled, "How can the elixir compare to these heavenly materials and earthly treasures, top-grade treasures? Junior brother, you are exaggerating too much."
"In my junior brother's heart, of course I can compare with her. And... in my junior brother's opinion, if senior sister can be happy, this Ice Spirit Pearl can be said to be useful." Lu Yi said seriously.
Liu Ningshuang was silent for a moment, and an imperceptible blush appeared on her cold little face.
After a moment of silence, Liu Ningshuang nodded slightly and looked at Lu Yi. Her smile was different from before, and it was a bit more gorgeous: "In that case, Senior Sister will accept it."
Lu Yi then smiled and said seriously: "I hope that Senior Sister can quickly raise the state of ice to the realm level."
Lu Yi handed the Ice Spirit Pearl to Liu Ningshuang.
Liu Ningshuang smiled slightly: "I want to drink some wine."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Then let's go to my cave?"
"Um."
As soon as the two arrived at Lu Yi's cave, they saw Donggong Mingyue coming over.
When she saw Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang, her eyes lit up and she ran over with a smile: "Senior sister, senior brother, you are here!"
When Liu Ningshuang saw Donggong Mingyue, she wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, then nodded slightly and said calmly, "Junior Sister."
Donggong Mingyue glanced at Liu Ningshuang with some confusion: "Senior Sister, why do you seem a little unhappy?"
Liu Ningshuang shook her head and smiled faintly: "Junior sister, you think too much."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Junior sister, why are you here?"
"I just finished my training and came to chat with you, brother." Donggong Mingyue said with a smile.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "We were just about to have a drink, Junior Sister, would you like to join us?"
Donggong Mingyue's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay!"
Liu Ningshuang glanced at the happy Donggong Mingyue and her expression became even calmer.
Lu Yi took the two of them into the cave and took out spiritual wine and spiritual food.
During these days, Lu Yi has already climbed to the level of Spirit Transformation in the Trial Tower, and naturally obtained a lot of rewards.
Lu Yi obtained two recipes for spiritual wine. One was the Red Flame Wine for the Nascent Soul Realm, which could increase the speed of comprehension of the state of fire. It was extremely precious and powerful.
With this wine, Lu Yi even comprehended the artistic conception of fire, and even improved it to 30%.
It was obvious that he had no one with whom he could spar with in terms of the realm of fire.
There is also another kind called Mingxin Brew, which is a precious spiritual wine that reaches the realm of transformation. It can enlighten the mind and calm the nature, and even eliminate the inner demons.
It is also an extremely precious spiritual wine.
You know, on the road to becoming an immortal, many cultivators must go through inner demons. After all, there are very few people who can truly follow their heart, stay true to their heart, and have a calm mind.
Even after reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm, there is still the calamity of the inner demon when breaking through.
If one's character is not good enough, one cannot even overcome the inner tribulation.
One can imagine how precious this Mingxin wine is.
Unfortunately, Lu Yi's current cultivation level is a bit low, and he is unable to brew Mingxin Brew. The probability of failure in brewing Mingxin Brew is very high. Now he is only at level 2, and Lu Yi has never taken out Mingxin Brew.
He has been practicing Red Flame Wine all this time, and now it has reached level 6.
Unfortunately, Liu Ningshuang, probably because she was born with an ice spirit body, did not like Red Flame Wine and continued to drink Jade Wine. Donggong Mingyue, on the other hand, could drink both and drank a little.
In addition to spiritual wine, there are naturally recipes for spiritual food, and the quantity is slightly more than that of the spiritual wine recipe.
Some are for improving cultivation, some are for improving the level of body refining, and some are for restoring spiritual energy. They are basically all common recipes.
Compared to the appearance of the Golden Silk Spirit that can improve one's understanding, there is naturally a huge gap.
Lu Yi and the other two were drinking and chatting. At this time, Lu Yi thought of something and took out the Thunder Spirit Pearl. He smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, Junior Sister, I got a Thunder Spirit Pearl by chance before, and I'm giving it to you."
My junior sister's cultivation level is improving too slowly. Although she has reached the Golden Core realm, it is still a little lacking.
It will be considered successful only when you can reach the Nascent Soul stage.
After hearing Lu Yi's words, the cave became quiet. Donggong Mingyue widened her eyes and looked at the Thunder Spirit Pearl in shock.
The wine glass in Liu Ningshuang's hand paused. She glanced at the Thunder Spirit Pearl in Lu Yi's hand with a very calm expression.
