Chapter 286 Investment in the Secret Realm (Two Chapters in One)
"This, I really haven't thought about it, but I won't bother Senior Sister to worry about it."
Liu Yu paused and replied politely.
He had never really thought about it before.
Different from ancient times and middle ages, with the passage of time, the world of cultivating immortals has undergone many changes since modern times.
Nowadays, in the world of cultivating immortals, dao names are rarely used unless it is a particularly formal occasion, and only among sect monks, they occasionally use dao names to address each other.
Like family monks and casual monks, there is no Taoist name at all.
Of course, if it breaks into the reputation of Nuoda, it will have a resounding "name".
It's not like what Senior Sister Lu Xue said, you can't live without a Taoist name, this is probably just a whim of hers.
"Junior Brother, why are you being so polite? My Dao name is Suxue."
"Junior Brother Yu Jiang's Taoist name, I was the one who helped him figure it out."
"Since the junior brother really didn't think about it, why don't you ask the senior sister to help you think about it?"
Lu Xue said with a smile on her face, she seemed to have a strong interest in naming people.
Yu Jiang on the side touched his nose in embarrassment when he heard the words.
As a direct disciple, Jing Yongqing showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he was no stranger to this situation.
"No, no, don't bother Senior Sister."
"I'd better think about it myself."
Liu Yu waved his hand, rejecting Lu Xue's proposal again.
If this woman is asked to help, he doesn't know what weird Taoist name he will come up with, but he knows that many female cultivators have literary and artistic feelings that hurt the spring and the autumn.
Liu Yu pondered for a while, and a thought flashed in his mind. He thought of his own cultivation technique, and coughed lightly with an idea:
"Let's call it Qingyang, what do you think, Senior Sister?"
"Qingyang?"
Hearing this, Lu Xue frowned slightly, and said mercilessly:
"This Dao name is very ordinary, how about asking Senior Sister to help you get one?"
"Sixth Junior Brother, do you want to think about it again?"
After speaking, she looked at Liu Yu expectantly.
But Liu Yu just shook his head slightly, smiled without saying a word, and had no intention of changing at all.
Seeing this, Lu Xue curled her lips, but she was not angry, and could only accept the reality helplessly.
After this encounter, the four reported their dao names to each other, and they got to know each other a lot.
After chatting in the pavilion for a short while, the third brother Jing Yongqing bid farewell.
After he left, Liu Yu saw that he was almost done, and also mentioned that there were still important things to do, so he had to leave.
"Junior brother, wait a minute, my cave is also in that direction, and we happen to be walking together."
Lu Xue stopped Liu Yu who took out the mother-child soul-chasing blade and was leaving, and seemed to have something to say.
Liu Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"Junior Brother Yu, farewell."
Lu Xue cupped her hands at Yu Jiang, then took out a green lotus-leaf-shaped magic weapon, threw it into the air and jumped on it.
"Senior Sister Lu, Junior Brother Liu, go slowly."
Yu Jiang cupped his hands slightly, and stood where the old god was, without any intention of leaving immediately.
"Farewell!"
On the mother-child chasing soul blade, Liu Yu said something again, and then turned into a black ray of light, chasing after Lu Xue who was one step ahead.
Among the five disciples under Li Changkong's seat, Lu Xue's attitude towards him was obviously the closest.
There is no hate for no reason, no love for no reason, and he believes that there is a reason for everything.
Two streaks of light, one black and one green, still had a dim light in the daytime, flying towards the sky one after the other.
"Is Junior Brother Liu very curious?"
"Junior Sister Yan Qun'er and I have known each other since childhood."
"Although I haven't seen Junior Brother Liu before, I have heard of Junior Brother Liu Yu's name from Qun'er."
Before Liu Yu could ask out the doubts in his heart, Lu Xue took the initiative to transmit the voice with his spiritual sense.
Liu Yu's heart moved when he heard the words, and the doubts in his heart were immediately resolved.
He has a good personal relationship with Yan Qun'er, so the relationship with Yan's family must not be bad, so it makes sense that he is closer than other senior brothers.
"Junior Brother Liu, I've already arrived, so I'll go back to the cave first, do you want to go in and sit down?"
"I have heard for a long time that my junior brother is good at alchemy. If you refine a second-level middle-grade cultivation pill, don't forget about your senior sister."
Lu Xue's cave was only more than 300 miles away from Tongtian Peak, less than an hour later, he stopped in the distance and clapped his hands away.
"Next time, no problem, I will definitely inform my senior sister."
"Senior sister's ability to make talismans, I also admire me very much. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely buy a few second-level talismans of great power from my senior sister for self-defense."
Liu Yu also paused, and said via voice transmission.
Through the previous conversation, he has learned that Lu Xue is a talisman maker, and he is currently able to refine second-tier middle-grade talismans.
The Golden Wind Scatter Talisman I bought before was really effective, but unfortunately there are only three left.There are only one or two of these second-tier top-grade talismans in general shops, and it is troublesome to replenish them.
If you can directly buy several second-tier middle-grade talismans from Lu Xue, that would be very good, and you can save a lot of effort.
With the improvement of its own strength, the talisman is more of a supplementary means, far less important than in the early foundation establishment, so the second-tier middle-grade can barely be used.
A few polite words, initially expressing each other's wishes, and then Lu Xue fell towards a spiritual mountain below.
Liu Yu also flickered, and continued to fly towards Cailian Mountain, and returned to Cailian Mountain after another hour or so.
……
Two days later, Liu Yu and Jiang Qiushui sat opposite each other in the hall of Cailian Mountain Cave Mansion.
As for Ji Ruyan, he was ordered to stay in the room and practice hard.
"Senior brother, this is the spiritual herb you ordered to collect, and the income from this year's Golden Star Jade Pill Hall are all in it."
As Jiang Qiushui said, he untied a storage bag from his waist and put it on the table.
"You've worked hard, Junior Sister."
Liu Yu nodded slightly, gave a verbal encouragement, and sucked the storage bag into his hand with his right hand.
Then a ray of consciousness penetrated into it and began to check the items inside.
When Jiang Qiushui saw that the other party only gave a verbal compliment, he didn't express anything. He gave a blank look to express his dissatisfaction, and then poured himself a cup of spirit tea and took a sip.
"This taste."
She frowned.
After getting along for so many years, Jiang Qiushui was too familiar with the taste of the tea brewed by Liu Yu, and now Yipin knew that the tea was not brewed by the other party.
If it's not Liu Yu, then only the "maid" can be used.
Thinking of this, she felt a bit bitter inexplicably.
There were no more than 7000 yuan of spirit stones in the storage bag, and more than a dozen jade boxes with the names of various spirit herbs pasted on them.
Now put 2000 bottles of Jingyuan Dan there every year, minus the annual cost of [-] yuan of spirit stones to buy spirit grass to cover up people's eyes and ears, it seems that the Yudan Hall in Jinxingfang City has reached a balance of payments.
Now the Yudan Hall in Renhefang City has an annual income of 3000 yuan in spirit stones, and the Yudan Hall in Jinxingfang City has an annual income of 7000 yuan in spirit stones.
The Yan family also earns 800 yuan in spirit stones every year, totaling 1 spirit stones.
Liu Yu is currently satisfied with this income, and does not plan to sell more pills.
But when he changed his mind, he frowned slightly when he saw those spiritual herbs.
Among these spirit herbs, some are needed to refine other elixirs, and only five of them can be used to refine golden elixirs.
Jiang Qiushui is the main force in collecting spirit grasses and medicines. With the current batch of spirit herbs, the amount of spirit herbs needed to refine the golden pill is less than two-fifths.
From this woman, through various sect channels and relationships, what can be collected in a short period of time has been collected now.
The remaining ones that have not been collected are somewhat difficult to handle.
"Is there only so much spiritual grass collected?"
Liu Yu frowned slightly and asked.
"That's right, the list given by senior brother last time, most of them are rare spiritual herbs, some of which are even unheard of by Foundation Establishment cultivators."
"The autumn water is collected in Jinxingfang City through Yudantang, and it is also purchased from the brothers who are stationed in the Zongmen Spiritual Medicine Garden through some fellow disciples."
"Currently, only so much can be collected."
"Some Lingcao sects have very strict management, even the seeds will be recorded in the book, even if there are in the elixir garden, the guarding fellow sects dare not do anything at all."
"If you want to impress them, you have to spend a lot of money."
Jiang Qiushui put down his teacup, and replied skillfully, explaining the cause and effect, as well as the difficulties encountered.
Liu Yu nodded expressionlessly when he heard this, without expressing anything.
Jiang Qiushui then talked about the difficulties encountered by Yudantang. After hearing this, Liu Yu immediately sent out a sound transmission talisman, asking a colleague stationed in Jinxingfang City to help solve the problem.
With the spread of the identity of the second-tier alchemist, the network resources in his hands have also increased. Some things don't need to be done in person, and a sound transmission talisman can solve the problem.
Then the two chatted about Yudantang for a while, and Liu Yu waved him away, ignoring the glint of water in his eyes and the extremely resentful look in his eyes.
"Boom"
With the closing of the stone gate, the cave mansion was completely quiet.
Liu Yu finished his cup and put down his teacup, the expression on his face was uncertain for a while.
Big money to buy?
No, as long as you do it, it will definitely leave traces, even if you kill people to silence them, it's useless.
If the Zongmen tracked him down, even if he didn't come forward, he could follow the line of Yudantang to find Jiang Qiushui, and finally find himself.
One must not underestimate the power of the Nascent Soul Sect, which dominates a state.
Since the path to the Zongmen Spiritual Medicine Garden is impassable, we can only collect it slowly, and we must seize the opportunity of the Scarlet Secret Realm.
The Scarlet Secret Realm is opened every 40 years, and it has been 39 years since the last opening, and it will be opened again in less than a few months.
It's time to plan for it.
Thinking of this, Liu Yu paid more and more attention to the matter of the Bloody Trial, and took out a sound transmission talisman to summon Wu Chang.
Wu Chang has been informed before to let him collect some information about powerful outer disciples, and it should be almost done by now.
Compared with inner disciples who are more talented, and who are favored by certain resources of the sect, it is easier to be bought by outer disciples.
Moreover, the realm strength of the outer disciples is not necessarily inferior to that of the inner disciples, but they have not reached the late stage of Qi refining before the age of 30, and their foundation building potential is much lower.
But Liu Yu didn't care about his potential, he just needed him to help him collect spiritual grass seeds, and the outer disciples who were easy to buy were naturally the first choice.
Two days later, in the cave mansion.
"Uncle Liu, the list is the information collected by the disciples during this period. These 30 people are all powerful people in the outer sect."
"And they haven't given up hope of hitting the foundation building, and they are likely to be willing to enter the secret realm for adventure."
Standing beside Liu Yu, Wu Chang respectfully handed over a list.
Now he has completely given up on cultivation, has taken in a female cultivator from a small family, and has taken in seven or eight concubines from mortal concubines, living a "happy" life.
I entrust the hope of immortality in the hands of the next generation, and now I am working hard to earn spirit stones, and I want to leave more things for future generations, so I do my best in doing things.
Knowing the basics, Liu Yu can use it with confidence.
"well done."
Liu Yu praised, took the list and checked it carefully.
The list records the information of the [-] relatively powerful outer disciples that Wu Chang inquired about, including their realms, magic tools used, personalities and hobbies, etc., as well as the strength of these disciples' willingness to enter the secret realm.
Some disciples have detailed information, while others have simple information.
Liu Yu glanced at the ten lines, and quickly read them all. He stretched out his finger and crossed out a small part of the names, leaving only 16 people.
These disciples are either not willing to enter the secret realm, or they are weak, or they are indecisive.
"It's these people, don't worry about those who crossed out."
"In the order of front and back, you report my name, and from tomorrow onwards, bring two people to see me every day."
Liu Yu handed the list to Wu Chang again, and said lightly, there is a majesty of a foundation cultivator, which makes the other party respectful.
"Yes! I would like to obey my uncle's order!"
Wu Chang responded immediately.
"Okay, let's go do it."
Liu Yu waved his hand and said calmly.
"Yes, the disciple retire!"
Wu Chang saluted respectfully, then walked out of the cave lightly.
……
Eight days later, Cailian Mountain Cave Mansion.
"What Liu said just now, can you two understand?"
Liu Yu sat on the grand teacher's chair, looked at the two outer disciples in gray robes and said.
"The disciple understands that we must meet up quickly after we go in, and then follow what the uncle said."
"The most important thing is to collect spiritual grass seeds."
The two people who are famous and domineering in the outer sect on weekdays are like docile little beasts at this moment, with low eyebrows and eyes respectful.
"Well, that's right, as long as you do what Liu said, your benefits will be indispensable after everything is done."
"A large number of spirit stones, powerful magical instruments, elixir for advanced cultivation, and even spiritual objects that help build foundations."
"You can get it all from me."
Threats and lures, Liu Yu said in a seductive tone, and even took out some genuine things to show them on the spot.
"At that time, the reward from the sect, plus a reward from Liu here, there is a lot to do in building the foundation."
"A few years from now, when we meet again, we will be called peers."
Liu Yu smiled heartily.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
The two waved their hands again and again, but they couldn't hide the heat in their eyes.
"This is the map of the Scarlet Secret Realm prepared by Liu for you. It is more detailed than the one issued by the sect."
"The trial of the Scarlet Secret Realm will start in two months. Okay, you guys should go back and prepare well. It's best to discuss how to cooperate with each other."
As he spoke, Liu Yu smiled, and took out two jade slips and put them on the table.
"Yes! Uncle Liu, this disciple is leaving!"
The two picked up the jade slips, left the cave, and walked down the mountain together.
Seeing the two leave, the smile on Liu Yu's face gradually faded, and his eyes became extremely deep.
This is already the ninth and No.10 outer disciple he arranged.
The 16 people on the list who are willing to enter the Scarlet Secret Realm and are willing to accept "investment" after some trials.
In the end there were only ten people.
The support of every vote is the motivation for the author to update, thank you Changting!
PS: The opening time of the Scarlet Secret Realm has been changed, from once every 80 years to once every 40 years.
