Chapter 78 Golden Elixir Battle
[Mission]
Find the Star Grass (0/1)
Reward: Basic alchemy, 50 drops of Millennium Spirit Milk.
Accept: Yes/No
Lu Yi had a strange expression on his face. He had acquired many skills through missions, including spiritual food cooking, spiritual wine brewing, basic formations, and now basic alchemy.
If he continues like this, won't he become omnipotent?
However, the task has been issued, so you have to accept it.
Lu Yi silently accepted the task and left the affairs hall.
This time, Lu Yi did not go to the Spirit Beast Hall, but went straight out of the sect.
Unlike the last time when he did the mission with Senior Brother Jiang Fan and Senior Brother Bai Yulong, he was more free when he went out alone.
He used magic to travel faster than riding a ferocious beast in the Qi training realm.
After leaving Baiyun Sect for a distance, Lu Yi saw that there was no one around. His spiritual energy flowed, and thunder appeared around him. It turned into a ray of lightning, soared into the sky, and turned into thunder and disappeared into the sky.
The Thunder Shadow Step at the extreme level also has the ability to fly in the air, and its speed is even much faster than the White Cloud Step.
After two days of travel, Lu Yi arrived at the edge of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
On the edge of the Wanshou Mountains, there is a big city called Wanshou City.
The city is surrounded by huge walls to prevent the beast tide from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range from attacking and destroying the city.
The entire city is built on the mountain and there are a large number of monks in it.
After all, many independent cultivators who have no resources will enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to seek resources.
It is said that Wanshou City was just an ordinary small village originally. Later, more and more cultivators came to Wanshou Mountains to adventure and obtain natural treasures. Gradually, markets were established here. Then the market became bigger and bigger, forming the current Wanshou City.
Lu Yi was not wearing the attire of an inner disciple of the Baiyun Sect. The jade spirit robe on his body had a restrained brilliance, making it impossible to tell that it was actually a mid-grade treasure.
Lu Yi entered the City of Ten Thousand Beasts like an ordinary cultivator.
"Big hot buns! Filled with beast meat! If they don't taste good, I won't charge you!"
"Tanghulu, Tanghulu! Sweet Tanghulu!"
“…”
The city was extremely lively, with the sounds of hawking along the streets endless.
Lu Yi went shopping in his spare time and bought some snacks to eat while walking.
I have been practicing hard every day during this period of time. When I go out, I just want to take a walk, experience the world, and relax.
Because Tianxingcao is a rare herb, Lu Yi held on to a glimmer of hope and went to various pharmacies in the city to ask, hoping to buy it directly.
The result disappointed Lu Yi. Tianxing grass is rare and very useful. It can be used to refine Tianxing Pills. Even if it appears, it will be bought immediately.
Lu Yi came out of the last pharmacy and planned to go into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to take a look.
At this moment, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man came over and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, do you want to buy Tianxing grass?"
Lu Yi was stunned and took a look at him. He was a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi training.
He nodded and asked, "Do you have any?"
The middle-aged man rubbed his hands and smiled, "I don't have it, but I saw it in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."
Hearing this, Lu Yi's eyes lit up slightly: "Really? Where?"
The middle-aged man chuckled and looked at Lu Yi: "I'll take you there, but little brother, I have to ask for labor fees, right?"
Lu Yi did not refute. It was normal to give him some money for the journey since they provided him with a place.
He smiled and said, "No problem, how much do you want?"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he held out five fingers: "Fifty low-grade spirit stones!"
Hearing this, Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the middle-aged man.
This price is a bit high, it's really exorbitant.
Fifty low-grade spirit stones is a considerable sum of money for a cultivator at the Qi training stage.
However, for Lu Yi, this amount of money is certainly nothing. He doesn't care. Anyway, he doesn't need low-grade spirit stones to practice.
Lu Yi nodded: "No problem, as long as you can lead me to find the Heavenly Star Grass, fifty low-grade spirit stones are fifty low-grade spirit stones."
The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw that Lu Yi did not even bargain. He looked at Lu Yi strangely and then said, "Pay first!"
Lu Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
He revealed a powerful aura and pressed it towards the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man suddenly turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked at Lu Yi with fear.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "I'll give you half first, and then I'll give you the other half when I find it."
Lu Yi took out twenty-five low-grade spirit stones and threw them to the middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man saw the spirit stone, his fear disappeared. He took it with great joy and thanked him immediately: "Sir, you are so generous! I will definitely bring it to you!"
Lu Yi nodded and smiled: "I will not treat you unfairly after the matter is done."
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly: "Sir, shall we set off now?"
"Let's go now."
The middle-aged man hurriedly took Lu Yi out of Wanshou City.
After leaving the city, the two moved towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
The Wanshou Mountains are extremely huge. Even though this is just a small section of its branch, when Lu Yi looks around, he still sees endless mountains extending to the horizon.
The middle-aged man was named Lin Ting. He was quite talkative and told Lu Yi some gossip about the area near Wanshou City. There was a cultivator who was lucky enough to go into the mountains and collect extremely rare spiritual herbs, but the next day he disappeared and no one knew where he was.
There were also Jindan cultivators who went deep into the mountains, encountered powerful and ferocious beasts, and eventually escaped with injuries.
"The hottest gossip in Wanshou City these days is that the Li family of Wanshou City has discovered a place where a Nascent Soul cultivator passed away. It seems that the Nascent Soul cultivator was a master of formations when he was alive. The cave outside is full of formations. The Li family is gathering other families in Wanshou City to break the formations and get the treasures. They have even summoned a lot of independent cultivators to help. In two or three days, they may set off."
Hearing this, Lu Yi was a little surprised: "The cave of a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
He felt a little strange in his heart. He had originally wanted to find a reason to encounter a senior monk’s cave and take out those treasures. He didn’t expect that he actually encountered a cave.
However, Lu Yi didn't feel much inside.
Even if there are some treasures in the cave of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he actually doesn't need anything.
After all, he has everything he needs, and even if he doesn't have something, the Master will find it for him when the time comes.
Seeing that Lu Yi was only a little surprised, he stopped asking questions. Lin Ting was a little puzzled: "Sir, don't you want to go and take a look?"
Lu Yi shook his head: "For a Nascent Soul cultivator who is proficient in formations, the cave is probably very dangerous. Although the treasure is good, you have to be alive to get it."
He has been practicing basic formations during this period of time, and has practiced several basic formations to level 8 or above, and has a considerable understanding of formations.
Although he didn't know what kind of formation the Nascent Soul cultivator knew, the formation set up by the Nascent Soul cultivator should be strong. He might not be able to break it, so there was no need to take such a risk.
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Lin Ting looked at Lu Yi with some surprise. Cultivators of this age generally believe that they are favored by destiny. When encountering such things, they would not even think of joining in the fun.
He smiled and said, "Young Master's ideas are different from those of ordinary people, but the path to immortality is difficult and requires a lot of resources. If you don't fight for this kind of opportunity, you may miss a lot."
Lu Yi glanced at Lin Ting and said with a smile: "Are you planning to go?"
Lin Ting smiled helplessly and said, "I am already over fifty years old. If there is no special opportunity, I may never have the chance to build a foundation in this lifetime. So I naturally plan to give it a try."
Lu Yi nodded and didn't say anything. Everyone has different opportunities. He and Lin Ting were not related, so there was no need to say much.
Lin Ting has been making a living in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range for many years and is very familiar with the outskirts of the area. He took Lu Yi around in circles and, with the help of Lu Yi's perception, avoided the territories of many foundation-building beasts. It took them one day to finally arrive at a high mountain.
The mountain is about three or four thousand meters high, with jagged rocks and extremely beautiful scenery.
Lin Ting took a breath and said, "Sir, it's right over here."
He brought Lu Yi to a cliff and pointed to the top of the cliff. Soon they saw a cluster of faint blue grass with dots of light flashing on it.
The light is relatively dim during the day, but at night, the light of the star grass is like stars.
Lu Yi glanced at the grass, then looked at a huge cave nearby. A strong aura emanated from the cave.
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Ting: "You didn't tell me that there is a nest of a foundation-building beast next to this Tianxing grass."
Lin Ting was not embarrassed at all, scratching his head and said, "Sir, you didn't ask, I said I would bring you to find the Sky Star Grass, but I have already done it."
Lu Yi glanced at him and said nothing more. He took out the remaining twenty-five low-grade spirit stones and threw them to him.
Lin Ting received the spirit stone with excitement and said gratefully, "Thank you, sir."
Then he looked at Lu Yi, hesitated, and said, "Sir, that foundation-building beast looks difficult to deal with. Why don't you go back and find someone to help? Or you can wait for a while and see if anyone has brought back the Heavenly Star Grass, and then you can buy some."
Lu Yi shook his head, his face calm: "It's just a foundation-building beast, there's no need to make such a fuss."
He said to himself, "I want to collect the star grass."
Suddenly, tasks appeared on the panel.
【Task】
Collect Star Grass.
Reward: Foundation-building spiritual food recipe: "Charcoal-grilled steak"
Accept: Yes/No
Lu Yi was delighted. As expected, because there were foundation-building beasts nearby and collecting them was difficult, it could trigger the task.
Lu Yi looked at the reward and felt a little happy.
The spiritual food recipe for the foundation-building realm is a good thing. He doesn't have much to do with the tasks and cultivation right now. With this recipe, he can practice.
Lu Yi accepted the task casually, took a step forward and walked towards the cliff.
When Lin Ting heard Lu Yi's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Lu Yi walking towards the cliff. He said in surprise: "Sir, there is no need to risk your life, right? Life is more important than anything else..."
An extremely powerful spiritual energy was flowing around Lu Yi, and wisps of sword intent rose into the sky. The extremely terrifying aura made Lin Ting's voice stop abruptly, and he stood still with a look of horror on his face.
“This, this…”
What kind of aura is this?! This young man looks so young, how can his aura be so terrifying?!
Lin Ting couldn't believe it.
At this moment, a hissing sound came from the cave, and a black snake head popped out from the huge cave.
Behind the snake's head is a giant snake body as thick as a bucket.
This vicious snake in the Foundation Establishment Stage stared at Lu Yi with its yellow eyes and continuously made threatening hisses.
It obviously also sensed the threat from Lu Yi.
Lu Yi's expression remained unchanged. The Qingling Sword appeared in his hand and he swung it casually.
laugh!!
A flash of white sword light flashed and slashed across the neck of the vicious snake. The next moment, the snake's body stiffened, and a bloody crack appeared on its head. Then the head slowly slid down and fell heavily from the cliff along with the corpse. Blood flowed, almost forming a pool of blood.
Lu Yi, who is at the twelfth level of Qi training, has basic strength that is already enough to reach the foundation-building stage. Even if he only uses the Baiyun sword technique of the Guizhen stage and a little sword intent, it is enough to easily kill a foundation-building cultivator at the fifth or sixth level.
You know, Lu Yi has now reached the 19th level in the Baiyun Sect's Trial Tower.
This is the result of Lu Yi still having many tricks up his sleeve.
Twenty percent of sword intent is enough to bring about a qualitative change in Lu Yi's combat power. At least he is basically invincible at a low level.
Lin Ting looked at the corpse on the ground with a dull expression.
A vicious snake at the foundation-building stage was killed with just one sword? !
He broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Lu Yi, fearing that Lu Yi would kill him with a sword.
Lu Yi didn't care about Lin Ting behind him. He took a step forward and floated into the air like a white cloud. He easily came to the cliff and collected the Tianxing grass.
Mission accomplished, easy as pie.
Lu Yi was in a good mood. He jumped off the cliff and picked up the giant snake's corpse.
This is good food.
Afterwards, Lu Yi looked at Lin Ting in the distance.
Lin Ting was looking at Lu Yi with fear at this moment, and seemed very scared.
Seeing Lu Yi looking over, he swallowed his saliva, pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled with difficulty: "Sir, you are very powerful, really amazing! By the way, these spirit stones, I think it's better to return them to you."
Lu Yi took a look at the low-grade spirit stone that Lin Ting handed over and smiled: "I'm not a devil, why are you so afraid of me? Since it's a normal transaction, what belongs to you is yours."
Although Lin Ting did not say that there was a foundation-building beast next to the Tianxing Grass, he did fulfill the terms of the transaction and took him to find the Tianxing Grass.
He didn't say much, but instead asked him to take on one more task and obtain a recipe for foundation-building spiritual food.
Lin Ting carefully looked at Lu Yi, and seeing that Lu Yi really didn't seem angry, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him, "Young Master, you are so generous!"
He was secretly wondering in his heart, which family this young genius came from? At the Qi training stage, he could kill a foundation-building beast as easily as killing a chicken. Even in the Baiyun Sect, perhaps only the legendary Fairy Liu Ningshuang had such strength?
Lin Ting didn't dare to ask more questions, and quickly said, "Sir, we have found the Tianxing Grass, can we go back now?"
Lu Yi shook his head: "I will stay in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range for a few more days, you go back first."
Since we need to find an excuse to get the opportunity, it is impossible to stay in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range for only a short while. It would be more reasonable to stay for a few more days.
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Lin Ting didn't think much about it and nodded repeatedly: "In that case, I will leave first."
Lin Ting looked at Lu Yi carefully, and when he saw that Lu Yi had no objection, he turned and left.
After Lin Ting left, Lu Yi took a step forward, stepped on the white clouds, and disappeared on the spot.
He did not use the Thunder Shadow Step because it made too much noise and could easily attract ferocious beasts. On the contrary, he used the White Cloud Step which made no sound.
Afterwards, Lu Yi randomly found a high mountain and dug a hole on the cliff to use as a temporary cave for practice.
He planned to stay in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range for a few days and then return to the sect.
Four days later, Lu Yi sat cross-legged in front of the cave, poking a piece of snow-white snake meat with a wooden stick in his hand. He was roasting it on charcoal and sprinkling some seasonings on it from time to time. The rich aroma filled the air, making Lu Yi look forward to it.
This is practicing charcoal grilled steak.
Charcoal grilled steaks are a recipe that can improve spiritual energy cultivation. After using it, the spiritual energy in the ingredients will be absorbed in a very gentle way. It can be used together with cultivation pills to speed up the improvement of cultivation.
This recipe does not require many ingredients, and they can all be found in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. It didn't take Lu Yi long to find a lot of ingredients, and he practiced several times a day.
With the ultimate level of tiger bone and ginseng soup as a base, Lu Yi's spiritual food cooking skills are pretty good, and practicing is much easier than before.
At least the taste is acceptable.
In just four days, Lu Yi had mastered the charcoal-grilled steaks to level 3.
After all, it is a cooking recipe for the Foundation Establishment Realm, so it is still somewhat difficult.
Just as Lu Yi was happily grilling snake meat, suddenly a deafening roar came from the distance.
Lu Yi's face changed slightly, and he looked up in the direction where the sound came from. He saw a strong spiritual light surging in the distance, the mountains collapsed, the spiritual energy flowed, forming a strong wind, spreading in all directions, and the rocks and trees were shattered in the strong wind.
What a powerful aura!
Lu Yi was a little surprised. Ordinary foundation-building cultivators did not have such destructive power. To be able to shatter a mountain, one must be a Jindan cultivator.
Are there Jindan cultivators fighting? What happened? Lu Yi looked in the direction of the flashing spiritual light. With his eyesight, he could vaguely see several figures standing in the air, crossing each other from time to time.
Afterwards, Lu Yi felt a strong aura surging again. Some people fell from the sky, and some people escaped.
It seems the winner has been decided.
However, Lu Yi's face soon turned dark because he found that a ray of spiritual light was flying towards him, and behind him, there was a blood-red spiritual light chasing it.
"Fuck... grass!"
Lu Yi was dumbfounded. He was just grilling meat here and a Jindan master passed by?! Why?
Without saying a word, Lu Yi immediately turned off the engine, then went down the mountain and entered the forest. He used the breath-concealing technique at the extreme level and did not reveal any breath at all.
He didn't really want to fight a Jindan monk for no reason.
Whoosh whoosh…
Two rainbow lights quickly crossed the sky and approached where Lu Yi was. Lu Yi could see the faces of the two people clearly.
In front was a white-haired old man, his body covered in blood and his face pale. Behind was a young man with a cold face, there was a sword scar on his chest and his face was indifferent.
What concerned Lu Yi was that the young man had a very strong smell of blood all over his body, which made Lu Yi extremely uncomfortable.
Exactly the same as the Blood Spirit Sect disciple that Lu Yi met before.
