Chapter 641 Arrangements after the war, the spirits are in hand!
Liu Yu's face was indifferent, and he waved his left palm lightly.
"Whoa!"
The next moment, countless cyan flames fell from the palm, floating towards the sky and the ground, flying or walking various monsters.
"Roar~!"
The shrill roars of beasts often stopped falling abruptly before they rose completely.
The Qingyang Demon Fire that has reached the second rank, even if it is just a trace of power, is enough to turn them into ashes with half a breath.
Flesh and spirit, both became the fuel for the growth of the magic fire.
To face a golden core cultivator and a second-grade spiritual fire, the cruel reality is too desperate for low-level monsters.
No matter how hard you resist, you can't change the final result.
The cyan flame continuously waved out from the palm, and after absorbing the fuel, it grew stronger and returned to the palm from all directions.
After confirming that the area around Lingwu City was safe for the time being, Liu Yu didn't hesitate to strike, and flew past all the way, leaving no one alive!
All monsters within sight are turned into fuel for the magic fire!
However, he has many competitors.
Some Jindan monks with flexible minds also wanted to take this opportunity to hunt down some monsters so that they could return to Dagan in exchange for some resources.
After all, when they became prisoners, all their property had been deprived.
Even if he was later rescued by the Zhang family and given a conditional gift of a magic weapon, he was still poor and useless.
At this time, except for a magic weapon, there is only a storage bag and a few spirit stones, and we must find a way to obtain resources.
And the surviving low-level monsters are a very good choice, their strength is absolutely crushed, and there is no need to worry about being retaliated by the monster clan at this time.
After all, he was about to pat his ass and leave immediately.
"thump"
The black wind wings vibrated slightly, and Liu Yu quickly shuttled around Lingwu City, and countless low-level monsters were wiped out with a wave of his palm.
Although there are many competitors, his status as "Captain" and his record of destroying key nodes in the first step are there.
Therefore, except for people of the same rank, most Golden Core monks shy away.
The collection of fuel, although not as fast as expected, was generally smooth.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the blue light stopped at the east gate of Lingwu City.
"Ten thousand degrees."
The egg-sized flame danced slightly in the palm of his hand, and Liu Yu sensed it slightly, and he could tell the growth of the Qingyang Demon Fire at this time.
"Having reached the pinnacle of the second rank, the next step is to collect a third rank spiritual fire."
After flashing this thought, he put Qingyang Demon Fire into his dantian, he couldn't help nodding his head slightly, feeling more satisfied.
The magic fire has met the basic requirements for promotion, and the power can still be improved a lot by continuing to harvest fuel.
But compared to before, it is half the effort.
Often collecting five-degree fuel will only have the previous one-degree effect, and as long as one does not really advance to the third rank, the power will not be greatly improved.
The spiritual sense swept around Lingwu City, and under the hunting of more than a dozen Jindan monks, there were very few low-level monsters left, and it would be useless to continue hunting.
Therefore, as soon as Liu Yu turned around, he went straight to Lingwu City, not intending to continue to attack.
The Yaozu is only retreating temporarily, and it is impossible to give up Lingwu City easily. Once enough strength is accumulated, a counterattack may come at any time.
He didn't want to stay here for too long and experience another life-and-death battle.
"Both Huashen Shenjun and Yuanying Zhenjun have appeared, and they have already surpassed the Jindan level too much. We still need to reduce contact with high-level monks."
Liu Yu flashed this thought, let go of Zhuo Mengzhen, and led the woman to fly towards Lingwu City.
With the retreat of the Huofeng Clan's Huashen, the battle of Lingwu City has officially come to an end, and all battles have stopped.
Both the fourth-level demon king and Yuanying Zhenjun fell, and the third-level demon cultivators who hadn't had time to withdraw had all been wiped out.
As for the golden core cultivator hunting down low-level monsters, it was a complete massacre, not a battle.
……
"Tap"
Liu Yu and Zhuo Mengzhen landed on the ground one after another, and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion together.
The floor paved with bluestone is covered with large or small cracks, and it does not look like it used to be at all.
Curls of black smoke rose, and flames flickered between the buildings from time to time. Lingwu City was more like a ruined city than a fairy city.
It can be seen that the Zhang family has long been prepared.
A monk was arranged to "extinguish the fire" everywhere in the city, clearing away the residual power of various magical powers.
Under Zhang Tao's arrangement, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
"boom"
Some monks pinched the magic formula again and again, and landed on the array flags that were taken out, and buried the array flags one by one into the aura nodes or earth vein nodes, and they were already arranging the array.
There is more than one such monk, and they use their spiritual consciousness to communicate secretly with each other.
It is conceivable that the array arranged will definitely not be simple, at least there are four levels.
Otherwise, it is not enough to persist in Yaozu's next counterattack.
After all, at this time Annan Liuzhou is still dominated by the monster race, and there are countless low-level monsters in Liuzhou, as well as hundreds, thousands or even more third-level monster cultivators.
As for the Zhang family, there is only one city.
Lingwu City must be defended, and only when the reinforcements from Qianting arrive will it be possible to gradually occupy other fairy cities, recover Annan Six Continents one by one, and drive the monster clan forces out of Annan Six Continents.
The war came to an end, but the Zhang family's dozens of golden cores did not stop for a moment.
While recovering mana, he was also making various preparations quickly, trying to restore the proper functions of Lingwu City as soon as possible, so as to make it stronger.
The unique product of the city is originally unique to the human race and the humanoid race. Even if the monster race holds it in their hands, it will not be able to exert its due effect.
For example, the rune magic circle engraved on the city wall, with the simple thinking of low-level monsters, can't exert its effect perfectly at all, and can only be used simply.
And the third-level demon cultivator is a real third-level combat power. If all of them are placed on the city wall, it will be too overkill.
But immortal cultivators are different. Even if they are just cultivators in the Qi refining period, as long as they can train a little, they can also exert the effect of the rune circle to a great extent, and make the most of the role of the city wall.
The monks in the Qi refining period cooperated with each other to stimulate the magic circle of a section of the city wall to the extreme, and it was possible to resist the attack of the third-level demon cultivator, and even launch a counterattack.
With the overall strength far inferior to that of the Six Continents Monster Clan, it is natural to use any advantage, so it is indispensable for the use of Immortal City itself.
Liu Yu looked around and saw that in the ruin-like fairy city, there was already a Jindan cultivator busy in front of the collapsed city wall.
Either take out various spiritual materials to rebuild the collapsed city wall; or integrate various spiritual materials into the city wall to strengthen the hardness and magic resistance of the city wall itself.
Or there are formation masters who have already taken out talisman pens, talismans, ink, etc., and waved them one by one on the city wall, engraving simple or complex runes, and connecting them into magic circles
There are also monks who are observing the terrain, flying quickly around Lingwu City without saying a word.
Prepare to find out the locations of the nodes of the spiritual veins and earth veins, clean up the wreckage of the "Nine Gates Heavenly Demon Formation", and assist the formation master to arrange the formation.
All in all, everyone in the Zhang family was busy after the war.
On the contrary, Liu Yu, Zhuo Mengzhen, and other monks who had little to do with the Zhang family seemed relatively "relaxed" at this moment, and were out of tune with this scene.
The speed at which monks build buildings is naturally far beyond the reach of ordinary people, let alone dignified Jindan monks who do it themselves.
Visible to the naked eye, sections of city walls rose from the ruins, and there were faint flashes of spiritual light on them, and the speed of construction was very fast.
It's just that in the previous battle, too many walls of Lingwu City were damaged.
Even if dozens of Golden Core monks work together, it will take a long time to repair or rebuild.
Whether it can be completed before the Yaozu counterattack is still a matter of debate.
As for the buildings that were destroyed in the city, most of them were used by the Yaozu during their rule, and they are not suitable for cultivators.
There was not enough time, so Zhang just dealt with it briefly and ignored it.
"Um?!"
After walking a certain distance, Liu Yuling felt touched, and suddenly turned her head to look towards the southern sky.
In the distant sky, hundreds of escaping lights are coming quickly.
If you look carefully, there is actually a famous monk on it, often a foundation-building monk controls the magic weapon, carrying several to a dozen Qi-refining monks.
There are at least thousands of monks in hundreds of escaping lights!
When the repair of the city wall is completed, these low-level monks can just use it. Relying on the city wall to build another line of defense can be regarded as a force that cannot be ignored.
I don't know how the Zhang family contacted the low-level monks.
About half a quarter of an hour after the battle ended, lights appeared one after another in all directions of Lingwu City, and low-ranking monks came one after another.
Even Jindan cultivators have a dozen or so people involved in it.
"If you didn't participate in the battle of Lingwu City, you just want to sit back and leave, and you don't have enough strength. I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Looking at the "slow as a turtle crawling" light in the sky, Liu Yu smiled faintly.
These later monks did not contribute anything in the battle of Lingwu City, and he did not think that the Zhang family would allow these monks to enjoy the benefits.
Most of them will be arrested and will participate in the subsequent defense battle of Lingwu City. If they can survive by luck, they will leave at that time.
"It seems that everything is going in the expected direction, but soon, there will be a bigger shadow."
"I just don't know—who is in control of ups and downs?"
Before arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Yu glanced back at the bustling Lingwu City and smiled faintly.
Let Zhuo Mengzhen wait in place, and after the person in front came out, he stepped over the threshold and entered directly.
……
In the antique hall, there is not too much decoration, and a few simple furnishings reveal a solemn and cautious atmosphere.
The hall was shrouded in a dignified atmosphere, making people put away their smiles unknowingly.
There is a sense of chilling in the details, just like the situation Lingwu City is facing at this moment.
In the center of the hall, there is a large four-legged round table, on which a simple sand table is arranged.
This sand table has mountains, waters and rivers, and it is full of small flags of different colors.
"Lingzhou" and "Yizhou"
"Firebird Clan", "Blood Bat Clan", "Lava Tiger Clan"
Looking carefully, the sand table was arranged in the general shape of Annan Liuzhou. As for the small flags of different colors, the names of the monster groups were written.
An old man with white beard and hair was standing in front of the table with his hands behind his back, looking at the sand table and frowning in deep thought.
"Fellow Daoist of the ancient city is here, please sit down quickly."
Zhang Tao's expression moved, noticing Liu Yu's arrival, a spring-like smile naturally appeared on his face and said.
In the previous battle, Liu Yu's astonishing strength and his performance in breaking through key nodes first had already gained his approval.
"As expected of a person who crossed the Hengduan Mountains, he really is not comparable to ordinary monks."
"What's more valuable is that he is still a master of alchemy."
"With time, you may not be able to become a mighty Nascent Soul True Monarch."
"Even one step closer is not impossible."
Looking at the silent "young monk" in front of him, Zhang Tao commented silently in his heart.
As the head of the Zhang family in Annan Liuzhou, even among the Jindan monks who looked at the entire family, he also has a pivotal position, and he thinks that his vision is definitely not bad.
Liu Yu cultivated to the middle stage of Jindan at a young age, has the strength to be close to the "real person list", and is also a master of alchemy.
In Zhang Tao's heart, he has already compared him with several top up-and-comers in the family.
But I have to admit that apart from their family background, those young people don't have any advantages.
Even his strength at this time may not necessarily surpass Liu Yu, let alone his future achievements.
What's more, the other party has already obtained the "Ningying Pill", which is a elixir that is crucial for the broken pill to become a baby!
Hearing this, Liu Yu went straight to the Taishi chair opposite him and sat down.
Silence for half a breath, lightly arched his hands, and said directly:
"Friend Zhang Tao, the battle of Lingwu City is over, so the previous promise of your family, isn't it?"
Although the words were not finished, Liu Yu's meaning was already self-evident.
It is only natural to use money to do things, so his words are justified.
Moreover, with every second of delay, the possibility of the Yaozu's counterattack increases by one point, and it is indeed not suitable for a long time to be polite.
"Hahaha~"
Hearing this, Zhang Tao shook his head lightly and gave a hearty smile, but he didn't mind at all, and immediately said:
"Fellow Daoists of the ancient city, don't worry, my Zhang family will do what I say, and naturally I won't break my word."
"Fellow Daoist performed very well in the previous battle. There will be no shortage of promised treasures, and they have been prepared long ago."
"Fellow Daoist, let's see."
As he said that, the storage ring in his hand flashed, and a black jade bottle and a jade slip appeared in his hand instantly.
Immediately, the two objects were controlled by mana and floated towards Liu Yu.
Looking at the two things that came out of his hands, Zhang Tao was indeed heartbroken, but he had no thought of regretting it.
Even the Huashen family, which has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, cannot make enemies everywhere, especially when the Zhang family is in the current embarrassing situation.
What's more, when dealing with such a promising Gold Core cultivator, a win-win situation is the best choice.
Maybe in the future, when there is still cooperation, there is no need to make a one-shot deal.
"Ningying Pill", "Spiritual Alchemy Pill"
Looking at the two treasures floating towards her, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel some ripples in the lake, and her breathing was disturbed for a moment.
After all, each of these treasures is the dream of countless Golden Core cultivators. If it is found that I am carrying two pieces at the same time, I am afraid that I will be missed day and night!
"pat"
Relying on his rock-solid will, Liu Yu quickly calmed the ripples in his heart, and firmly caught the two treasures without any politeness or embarrassment.
He deserves the risk of appearing in the line of sight of a fourth- and fifth-level demon cultivator and being shot to death at any time.
"puff"
Immediately, Liu Yu uncorked the black jade bottle, poured out the elixir, and made it hang steadily above the palm of his hand.
This Dan is about the size of a longan's eye, the whole body is dark purple in color, exudes a faint spiritual light, and there are four natural mysterious lines on the surface.
As soon as it was exposed to the air, there was a strange fragrance that permeated the hall.
When Liu Yu heard it, he felt relaxed and happy, and his soul felt a little light.
Even the golden core, whose dantian has been spinning slowly, unknowingly speeds up the rotation and becomes active.
"Four Spiritual Patterns"
"With this taste and surface characteristics, it really is the "Ningying Pill"!"
As a master of alchemy, Liu Yu naturally had a good understanding of the Three Treasures of Infant Birth.
Putting the purple pill in front of his eyes and looking at it for a few breaths, he was sure that it was the Ningying Pill.
Only pills above the third rank will produce "spirit patterns", so they are also called "spiritual pills".
In the future, every time a small level is improved, one spirit pattern will be added. "Ningying Pill" is a fourth-rank low-grade pill, so it naturally has four spirit patterns.
In order to avoid the loss of medicinal power, Liu Yu quickly put it back into the jade bottle after confirming that the pill was authentic.
Then he picked up the jade slip and pressed it to his forehead, and a ray of spiritual consciousness penetrated into it to read the information.
"Soul Condensation Pill"
In an instant, Liu Yu read the information and knew the basic situation of this alchemy.
This pill is called "Condensing Soul", and it is a third-order middle-grade spirit pill, which has the effect of condensing the soul and increasing the soul.
The rank is only ranked in the middle rank of the third rank, because a single elixir does not condense the soul and increase the primordial spirit very much, but the spirit grass and elixir used to refine this elixir are all very rare.
Moreover, two kinds of thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are actually used as the main medicine!
It should be known that under normal circumstances, only the millennium spirit grass will be used in the fourth-order elixirs taken by Zhenjun Yuanying.
And "Soul Condensation Pill" is only a third-order elixir, and it has no effect on Zhenjun Yuanying.
Under normal circumstances, regarding the competition for the Millennium Spirit Grass, how can the Gold Core cultivator compete with the Nascent Soul True Monarch?
The effect is extraordinary, but the increase rate of a single one is not large, and the millennium spirit grass is used, which further increases the difficulty of refining.
Therefore, "Soul Condensation Pill" seemed rather tasteless in the Zhang family's eyes.
After all, if there is a thousand-year-old spirit grass, of course it must be supplied to Zhenjun Yuanying first.
However, with the Immortal Mansion, as long as the spiritual grass seeds are collected, the millennium spiritual grass can be ripened, thereby refining a large number of pills.
Therefore, the above restrictions are not a problem for Liu Yu.
He attaches great importance to the "soul condensing" characteristic of this pill, which can further condense the primordial spirit. Although the growth rate will slow down in a short period of time, it will be of great benefit in the long run.
Because of the growth of Yuanshen, it is not only the increase of "quantity", but also the improvement of "quality".
And condensing the soul, to a certain extent, is to improve the "quality" of the soul.
So that under the same circumstances, one's own soul and consciousness can clearly outperform other monks.
Even for the future Huashen, there are inexplicable benefits!
And as long as he collects the spirit grass, he can continuously refine it, and taking a large amount of Soul Condensation Pill, the growth speed is not a problem.
After reading the information of "Soul Condensation Pill", Liu Yu was ecstatic in his heart, but his face remained calm, and even showed a trace of dissatisfaction on purpose.
But this is indeed a elixir of refining gods. Under normal circumstances, the Zhang family has indeed fulfilled its promise, so he didn't say anything.
"Fellow Daoist of the ancient city, the difficulty of collecting this elixir and elixir is indeed a bit high, but its characteristics."
Keenly aware of the other party's unhappiness, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Zhang Tao's face, but he still opened his mouth to explain, and began to move with emotion and reason.
The benefits of picking up the "Soul Condensation Pill" as much as possible are mentioned, but the difficulty of collecting spirit grass is briefly mentioned.
He knew he was in the wrong, but there was nothing he could do about it, the same would happen if he chose again.
Although he has some good feelings for Liu Yu and even admires this "young monk" very much, it is still impossible to come up with a normal alchemy formula.
Spiritual objects for refining gods are rare, and the higher the level, the more precious they are, especially for things like pills, which can be continuously refined after they are obtained.
The number of high-level elixir and elixir is limited, and the more monks know, the greater the competition, and there are some other disadvantages.
If it is a normal third-order alchemy formula, the Zhang family will never agree to the conditions. Even if there is a promise in advance, there is a high probability that it will be contradicted.
There are too many interests involved in this, so Zhang Tao thought of the "Soul Condensation Pill" pill formula the first time Liu Yu put forward the conditions.
Because two thousand-year-old spirit grasses are needed, and the other spirit grasses are quite rare, it is worth the difficulty of refining the fourth-order elixir itself.
Even in the Zhang family, it has been seven or eight hundred years, and no new Soul Condensation Pill has been refined.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Zhang family, the value of this pill is greatly reduced.
But even so, without Zhang Tao's appreciation, this recipe would never have fallen into Liu Yu's hands.
"Gu Mo understands."
After listening to the other party's explanation, Liu Yu's complexion gradually softened, and he could only "helplessly" accept the reality.
"Strange, the attitude of the other party seems a little too enthusiastic."
"A Golden Core cultivator in my area can only be regarded as a little powerful at most, and behind the opponent is the Huashen family."
"The battle of Lingwu City is over, and the main force of the Zhang family will arrive soon. At this time, it seems unnecessary for the opponent to be so polite to me, right?"
Thinking of this, he secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.
Putting the jade vase and jade slips into the storage ring, Liu Yu stood up and cupped his hands, and said simply and neatly:
"Thanks to fellow Daoist Zhang Tao's attention, Gu was lucky enough to get these two treasures. This feeling must be kept in mind."
"Fellow Daoist is busy with affairs, Gu won't bother me."
"Farewell!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to reply, he raised his foot and walked out the door.
The night has many dreams, and the two treasures have already been obtained. Liu Yu has no intention of staying in Lingwu City, a place of right and wrong, for a long time, and plans to leave immediately.
Although according to common sense, the Zhang family has guarded the Annan Protectorate for generations, and as the "Heavenly Southern Messenger", he should be close to the Zhang family.
But Liu Yu only has the Golden Core Realm, and he is far from qualified to negotiate terms with the Zhang family, let alone sit on an equal footing.
What's more, with the treasure in his body at this time, he feels uneasy no matter what, it's better to leave early and hide his name.
As for the mission of the sect, I don't know if I will go back or not, so I naturally put it aside.
It will not be too late to go to Daqian's "Shenjing" after one's realm has improved a little bit, depending on the situation.
"Tap"
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and Liu Yu walked towards the door in a leisurely and unhurried pace.
But before he took a few steps, an old and thick voice sounded behind him, making him pause.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"
