Chapter 120: Advance

Chapter 120 Advance

Kill the best fighter in Japan.

It was just a piece of cake for Yu Xiao.

This incident greatly shocked Shencheng and the martial arts world, and was enough to raise the reputation of the Wumeng organization and individuals to a higher level.

Fujiwara no Ryunosuke is not much stronger than Rui Liancheng.

Against the Martial Saint.

No chance of winning!

The biggest difference between a Martial Saint and a Grand Master is that a Martial Saint can transform his blood and energy into qi, and use the qi to enhance his attack power or protect his body.

Once the strong energy protects the body.

Invulnerable to swords and guns, and hard to be attacked by anything.

Even in the world of immortal cultivation, it would be difficult for a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining to break through the protective Qi of a Qi Refining warrior without top-level offensive means.

This is why.

Yu Xiao dared to grab Fujiwara's knife with his bare hands.

Not to mention ordinary iron, even the magic swords and magic knives that can cut iron like mud can't hurt him at all.

With Yu Xiao's current martial arts attainments.

Unless the blood and energy are completely exhausted and it is impossible to condense the internal energy, heavy machine guns, cannons, and even aerial bombs will hardly pose a threat.

Just rely on martial arts.

You can walk sideways.

Almost invincible in the grand world.

With enough confidence, one can act more radically and unscrupulously.

First, refine the materials into pills as soon as possible. In this way, there will be 28 ordinary Lingshen pills and 3 high-quality Lingshen pills available.

pity.

There is no top-grade ginseng pill.

Otherwise the breakthrough will be more time-saving and labor-saving.

Of course, spending a little more time is no big deal.

As long as I can further complete the body refining, with so many resources, it will be more than enough to break through the bottleneck of Qi refining.

At this time, Yu Xiao received news that the annual disciple assessment of Qinglan Valley had ended, and this year, forty-eight new disciples had been added to Elder Jiang Changqing's fold.

As one of them.

It's inevitable to make a trip.

Go to attend the apprenticeship ceremony.

……

This day.

Qinglan Valley Jiuyang Mountain.

Jiang Changqing sat at the preaching altar, with several true disciples on his left and right, and in front of them was the Jiuyang Mountain preaching field.

"Meet the Master!"

Forty-eight new disciples saluted in unison.

Yu Xiao was mixed in the crowd. He had been a sect disciple for ten years, and it was the first time he saw the sect elders and the true cultivators who were building their foundation with his own eyes!

At first glance, Jiang Changqing appears to be a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a thin figure, black hair and beard, and a somewhat immortal temperament.

His actual age must be over a hundred.

The life span of a true cultivator who has established his foundation can generally reach over 200 years, but the age of a cultivator is usually not reflected in his appearance.

Jiang Changqing's eyes swept over each disciple, passing by Yu Xiao several times.

in this process.

Can feel it clearly.

There is invisible spiritual energy passing by.

This must be the spiritual consciousness of a foundation-building cultivator.

The good news is that the Breath-Concealing Technique is close to perfection, with the addition of the Qi-Concealing Pill as an aid.

Even if the foundation-building cultivator is present.

He also cannot see through his own cultivation.

"No gift!"

Jiang Changqing had no expression on his face. After all, he had to go through this kind of scene once a year, and he now had thousands of disciples registered under his name.

He also doesn't remember everyone's details or even their names.

to him.

A true disciple.

There are only thirteen true teachings.

The rest are employees.

Employees can be trained appropriately.

But it's just to do a better job.

"You are able to become my disciple, which means you have some ability. You need to practice diligently to achieve further progress."

"Every Friday of every month, the Jiuyang Mountain Dojo will hold a forum to explain the methods of alchemy and cultivation. It will be of great benefit to you all, so don't miss it casually."

"In addition, the Medicine Refining Pavilion will prepare an initiation gift for each new disciple. You can choose to receive it before you leave."

"As for your new jobs, Wenhua will be responsible for arranging them."

"..."

The new disciples then studied and understood the internal affairs of the Medicine Refinery Pavilion, mainly getting to know the true disciples and the Medicine Refinery Pavilion's deacon team.

Jiang Changqing is sitting down.

There are thirteen true teachings.

The eldest senior brother with the highest cultivation level has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, while the twelfth and thirteenth senior brothers and sisters with the lowest cultivation level have only reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"Can one become a true disciple at the sixth level of Qi Refining?" A new disciple asked excitedly, "Then do we also have a chance to become the master's true disciple?"

"Wake up!"

"what are you thinking?"

Another disciple said: "Compared to other elders in Qinglan Valley, Master does not really value disciples' cultivation talent, but he values ​​disciples' alchemy talent very much."

"Yes!"

"As far as I know, Senior Brother Twelve and Senior Sister Thirteen are younger than us, but they are already alchemists who can refine several kinds of high-level elixirs!"

"so smart?"

"It's not easy to become a high-level alchemist. The process of learning intermediate and high-level alchemy consumes too many materials. Although I have a small fortune, I can't afford such a large amount of waste even if I lose everything!"

"There is no hope for true teachings."

"I just hope to be a deacon!"

"..."

From the discussion, it can be heard that Jiang Changqing pays special attention to his disciples' talent in alchemy, which makes Yu Xiao fall into deep thought.

If one demonstrates sufficiently high alchemy skills and is active in the sect as an alchemist, he can not only stay away from disputes and develop in a low-key manner, but also gain more status and resources and come into contact with more people.

It is a good choice!

If I were to choose an elder to be my disciple in the future.

Then Jiang Changqing is the most suitable one for me.

After all, as far as Yu Xiao knew, Jiang Changqing was the only known person in the entire Qinglan Valley who could refine top-grade foundation-building pills.

That alone.

He has enormous value.

The Alchemy Pavilion not only has Jiang Changqing's nine true disciples, but also has as many as seventy-two deacons.

among them.

Three senior deacons.

There are twelve intermediate deacons.

The rest are low-level deacons.

Zhou Dafu and Huang Zeyou are both low-level deacons, which shows that there is a big gap between the deacons of the sect.

Deacons are not true disciples of elders.

However, they are all the core disciples that the elders value the most. Among them, the three senior deacons have a status similar to that of true disciples, but their potential is slightly inferior because they are too old.

"not bad!"

Yu Xiao spent half a day.

Understand the benefits of getting started.

What he looks forward to most is the Dharma talks on Fridays of every month.

That’s equivalent to two free classes a month!

Jiang Changqing would give the lectures himself whenever he had time. If he didn't have time, he would ask his disciples or other elders to give the lectures instead.

Or it may be related to spiritual practice.

Or it may be related to alchemy.

Jiang Changqing is a second-level alchemist and a genuine foundation-building cultivator. He will definitely be of great help to Yu Xiao.

The apprenticeship ceremony is over.

Yu Xiao received the entry gift package.

Every new disciple can choose one of the elixir recipes, elixir furnaces, and elixirs according to his needs.

Most disciples would choose elixirs.

It's a Lingshen Pill.

Worth two hundred spirit stones.

It can be kept for cultivation and can also be easily sold for cash in the market.

Yu Xiao is definitely not interested.

He will choose between the alchemy furnace and the alchemy recipe.

Although the purple-patterned copper alchemy furnace issued by the Alchemy Pavilion is slightly better than the fire copper alchemy furnace in hand, the difference is not that big, and there is no need to replace the one that is already used smoothly.

then.

He chose the Dan recipe.

There are two intermediate-level elixir refining methods.

One is called Rejuvenation Pill.

This pill is a healing medicine. As an intermediate pill, it is more difficult to refine than the Blood-Essence Pill, but its recovery effect is not as good as the Blood-Essence Pill.

However, the materials used in the rejuvenation pill are common and cheap, so it is a therapeutic pill that can be mass-produced.

One is called Qingming Dan.

This pill is a very practical auxiliary pill, which has excellent detoxification effect and can also clear the mind.

It can be used to fight against various negative states in battle, and it can also be used to adjust the state during daily practice. It has a wide range of applications.

In fact, it depends on value.

This pill recipe is the best.

It is worth at least five or eight hundred spirit stones.

However, the secret scroll cannot be passed on to others and can only be used by oneself, which is useless to most disciples who can only barely refine low-level elixirs.

Received the entry gift pack.

Arrived at the Jiuyang Mountain Hall.

He is here to take up a new job.

There were two true disciples on the scene.

A man in his thirties, with an elegant appearance and gentle temperament, is the ninth senior brother Wenhua.

The other one looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate skin, petite figure, and very exquisite facial features. There was a glow of precious light flowing on her green clothes, and she looked like a quirky and beautiful girl.

This is Thirteenth Senior Sister Chen Xiaoyu.

Yu Xiao bowed and saluted: "Greetings to Senior Brother Seven and Senior Sister Thirteen!"

"Brother Yu, there is no need to be so polite."

Although Wenhua is a true disciple, he does not seem to be arrogant. Of course, his cultivation is not very high either, he is just at the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is relatively weak among the true disciples of Qinglan Valley.

He held a jade tablet in his hand.

Above is Yu Xiao’s detailed information.

From being a miner in the sect, to becoming a casual cultivator, passing the Immortal Ascension Conference, and becoming a formal disciple after ten years of training...

Sixteen years.

From a miner to a formal disciple.

This transformation is inspiring.

Although his cultivation in the middle and late stages of the fourth level of Qi Refining is relatively ordinary, his attainments as an intermediate alchemist are impressive.

Don't wait to speak.

Chen Xiaoyu interrupted: "Brother Yu, there are two jobs suitable for you now, you can choose one of them!"

"Appreciate further details!"

"I'm in need of an assistant. Junior Brother Yu is an intermediate alchemist and is very hardworking. You can be my assistant!" Chen Xiaoyu said quickly: "How about it? This job is suitable for you!"

Yu Xiao asked calmly:

"What's the other job?"

Wenhua said: "Junior Brother Yu will be stationed in Yunxi Town and serve as the manager of Qingyang Medicine Shop."

Manage a shop for the sect?

Yu Xiao's heart couldn't help but move slightly.

The four major alchemy workshops in the Medicine Refining Pavilion are: Qingyang Alchemy Workshop, Chiyang Alchemy Workshop, Ziyang Alchemy Workshop, and Jiuyang Alchemy Workshop.

Jiuyang Danfang is quite special.

It was the alchemy workshop founded by Jiang Changqing himself.

This alchemy workshop only refines pills for the sect elders and even the sect master, while the other three alchemy workshops supply disciples and sell to the outside world.

Qingyang Medicine Shop is a shop affiliated with Qingyang Medicine Workshop. It is said that it has branches in more than thirty immortal cultivation markets and cities.

Mainly deals in medium and low-level elixirs.

This job is good.

There are two major benefits.

Firstly, Yunxi Town is very close to Xiaozhu Valley. Yu Xiaoke can apply to Deacon Zhou of Lingcao Garden to continue to serve as the manager of Xiaozhu Valley. In this way, can't he continue to live in Xiaozhu Valley?

Secondly, although the Qingyang Medicine Shop in Yunxi Town is small in scale, it is still a medicine shop after all.

After Yu Xiao became the manager, he could not only deal with more people and accumulate personal connections, but he could also use the medicine shop to sell the goods he had without attracting any attention.

It will be more convenient to monetize resources in the future.

Chen Xiaoyu said expectantly: "Junior Brother Yu, how about it, this shouldn't be difficult to choose!"

It’s really not difficult to choose.

"Senior Sister Thirteen, I can only appreciate your kindness!"

If Yu Xiao really wanted to join the true sect, wouldn't it be better for him to find Lu Lingyun? Why should he serve a little girl as a follower and a beast of burden?

He then said tactfully: "I have been used to the life in Xiaozhu Valley for ten years. If possible, I would not want to leave here, so I prefer the job of the elixir manager in Yunxi Town."

"what?"

Chen Xiaoyu's eyes widened in disbelief.

Wenhua: “Do you need to think about it again?”

Yu Xiao shook his head: "No need."

Wenhua: "Okay, since you have made your choice, then go to Yunxi Town to take up the post of steward!"

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Until Yu Xiao left.

The Thirteenth Senior Sister was completely confused.

"Nineth Senior Brother, do you think Junior Brother Yu has a problem with his brain?" "Haha, Little Thirteen, don't think that others can't see your thoughts. I think Junior Brother Yu is very smart."

Chen Xiaoyu still didn't understand. Although she was indeed here to capture cattle and horses, being a cattle and horse for the true disciple for a few years was better than being demoted to Yunxi Town.

……

Yu Xiaogang returned to Xiaozhu Valley.

The notice from the Medicine Refinery Pavilion came down.

He will be transferred to Yunxi Town as the manager of Qingyang Medicine Shop and concurrently serve as the manager of Xiaozhu Valley.

Held two positions.

Working two jobs.

The manager of the Xiaozhugu Lingtian can obtain one Taoist-level merit token every year.

The manager of the medicine shop in Yunxi Town is guaranteed to receive 4 human-level contribution tokens every year.

These two jobs don't take too much time.

The manager of the medicine shop in Yunxi Town can be equipped with two low-level alchemists to assist in alchemy, and six outer disciples to be responsible for management.

Yu Xiao called Li Fu over.

"Brother Yu, what can I do for you?"

"Li Fu, you have followed me for ten years. It is not easy to be diligent. I have decided to promote you to be the shopkeeper of Qingyang Pill Shop in Yunxi Town."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Li Fu was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although Yu Xiao doesn't care about worldly affairs, he has seen the performance of his subordinates over the past ten years.

Li Fu is an outer disciple.

He is careful and honest.

Yu Xiao put him in charge of the store's daily affairs, which could save him a lot of energy and he only needed to practice alchemy.

This way.

Although he holds two positions.

But life hasn't changed much from the past.

If Yu Xiao worked harder, he could continue to accept the sect's alchemy tasks while refining pills for the medicine shop.

It is not difficult to earn one thousand four hundred to five hundred spirit stones and fifteen or sixteen merits every year, which is already higher than the income of most beginner disciples.

The next few days.

Luo Xiaoshan, Fu Qingfeng, Ma Qianjun and other friends came to Xiaozhu Valley one after another to congratulate him. Although Yu Xiao started slowly, with his alchemy skills, he now earns no less than them!

It can be said that it is a late bloomer with great accumulation of experience!

Alchemists have always been respected.

During this period, more and more disciples from the sect came to make friends with Yu Xiao. Xiaozhu Valley had never been so lively in the past ten years.

But the limelight soon passed.

When calm was restored.

Yu Xiao started a new round of cultivation.

The purpose of this practice is to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Yu Xiao did not break through the Aoki Kung Fu at the beginning, but spent most of his time on the Moving Mountain Kung Fu.

More than a dozen blood marrow pills were consumed for this purpose.

Yu Xiao has reached the stage of blood and qi refining, and has taken nearly a hundred blood marrow pills to improve his physique. Under such circumstances, practicing the skill of moving mountains is a natural outcome for him.

It took ten months.

The Mountain Moving Technique was successfully broken through.

From mastering the realm of small success.

Officially achieved the high level of moving mountains!

This also means that Yu Xiao's blood, energy and magic power have been further integrated, and he has become a physical cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage with great accomplishments in body refining.

This not only greatly increases combat power.

It also lays a solid foundation for breaking through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

During these ten months, although Yu Xiao spent most of his time practicing the Mountain Moving Skill and the rest of his time on refining pills and managing the shop, no matter how busy he was, he would take time out every Friday to return to Jiuyang Mountain in Qinglan Valley.

For nothing else.

Just to listen to the experience shared by the foundation-building monks.

These twenty lessons.

Didn't miss a single class.

Although only half of them were taught by Jiang Changqing or others who taught the foundation-building methods, they also gave Yu Xiao a lot of insights into alchemy and cultivation. Many things that he had previously been unable to grasp became clear to him.

really.

Working in isolation won’t work.

Cultivation is about learning from all schools of thought.

Only by standing on the shoulders of our predecessors can we see farther.

Ten months of rest and preparation, ten months of study and understanding allowed Yu Xiao to reach his peak state.

In this state.

Start practicing Aoki Kung Fu.

This time it only took about eight months.

Eighteen ordinary Lingshen pills were consumed in total.

The Qi Sea Spiritual Xuan directly and successfully condensed the seventh arm.

This means that he has broken through from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level, and Yu Xiao has officially become a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

There was hardly any bottleneck.

Both the time consumed and the energy and resources consumed were obviously far lower than expected.

When blood and energy are refined.

Qi refining reaches the late stage.

Yu Xiao does not plan to excessively pursue the growth of his realm and cultivation in the short term, but is more inclined to enrich his abilities and means.

For example, practice more practical small spells such as disguise and breath concealment, and practice them to perfection.

These spells seem to be unorthodox.

Few monks spend a lot of time practicing.

But it is very useful for Yu Xiao, as it can effectively improve his ability to deal with various situations and increase his own safety.

Other than that.

still have a question.

Now my cultivation has been improved.

But Yu Xiao lacked sufficient combat spells.

The only offensive skill he has mastered now is the giant sword technique, and he has only just started practicing it.

The current means are sufficient in Dajing.

After all, the Dajing world lacks means and has a low upper limit on strength, but in the environment of the immortal cultivation world, it still seems not rich enough.

Yu Xiao checked the spiritual stones and merit reserves.

The spiritual stones are about 3000.

A large part of it was earned from secretly selling pills.

In addition there are 14 individual-level merit tokens.

In the past two years, my main focus has been on cultivation, so naturally I have taken on fewer alchemy missions.

Fortunately, I have two jobs.

The basic merit is relatively high.

Yu Xiao summoned the Lingzhu Boat back to the sect, and then went directly to the Sutra Library.

After careful consideration.

First, I selected three jade slips.

[Fragments of the Mysterious Arts Chapter of the Mysterious Dao Sutra], exchange price: 700 spirit stones, 3 personal-level orders.

This secret scroll is a fragment of a set of unorthodox martial arts entitled "Xuan Dao Jing", which not only records several rare unorthodox magic spells, but also records many methods to restrain various unorthodox methods.

It's worth studying carefully.

[Collection of Qi Refining Techniques], exchange price: 800 spirit stones, 4 individual-level merits.

This secret scroll records eight practical small spells for the early and middle stages of Qi Refining.

[Introduction to the Six Arts of Immortal Cultivation], exchange price: 800 spirit stones, 4 personal merits.

This jade slip is equivalent to an introductory popular book on the six arts of cultivating immortals. It also records a lot of knowledge in the fields of elixirs, talismans, formations, and refining.

After exchanging the three classics.

There are only three merit tokens left.

Finally, I chose a spell called "Shield Array".

[Shield Formation Technique], exchange price: 700 Spirit Stones, 3 personal-level merits.

This spell requires the magic power of the late stage of Qi training to cast.

Just as giant sword techniques require sword-like magical instruments as a medium, shield formation techniques require shield-like magical instruments as a medium to be used.

Once this technique is used.

The magic shield can be transformed into a shield formation.

This is enough to significantly increase the defense range.

It is a very practical defensive secret technique in battle.

The exchange is complete.

The spirit stones and merits have just been used up.

Yu Xiao looked at the four secret scrolls in his hand, plus the spells he had already learned that needed to be improved, and felt that they were enough to satisfy his practice for a long period of time in the future.

The day.

【Luck-2】.

Yu Xiao took the secret scroll back to Dajing to rest.

He first flew back to Guangzhou from Shanghai, which took only five or six hours. It was obvious that his magic power had improved significantly.

Calculate the time.

This round of practice.

Nearly eighteen months in total.

Because I seldom went back to Dajing during that period.

It has only been a week since Fujiwara Ryunosuke was killed.

……

Yangcheng.

The big house in Qinglong Lane.

Finally completely relieved!

When Yu Xiao felt the blood and magic power at this moment.

He thought to himself, "There should be nothing in the Dajing World that can threaten my life!"

Theoretically speaking, the ultimate and upper limit of the power of the Dajing world is the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, but in reality it is very difficult to reach this limit.

now.

I dare not say that I am the best of all time.

At the very least, search every corner of the world and look through thousands of years of history.

Even if there really is a monster that has reached its limit, it is only the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage.

Even though Yu Xiao was still three levels away from perfecting Qi Refining, he had great strength thanks to his martial arts skills in Blood Qi Refining and his great body refining.

It's really hard to face an existence of this level.

Also have enough self-protection ability.

Even a fight is possible.

Therefore.

Now it's certain.

It is impossible for an overwhelming threat to appear in this world, with Yu Xiao's current strength and the ancient palace space as a trump card.

As close to 100% safety as possible!

After coming back this time.

Yu Xiao does nothing.

I rested for two weeks in one go.

Every day he would drink tea, read the newspaper to observe changes in the situation, or study the secret scrolls brought from the sect.

of course.

In this process.

He is also thinking about the next step.

Yu Xiao finally concluded: "It is necessary to speed up the development of Dajing World!"

Looking back.

Why does Yu Xiao spend most of his training time in the main world?

On the one hand, it is because the cultivation environment in the main world is better, but in fact Yu Xiao refined a large number of spiritual pills in Dajing.

Even if there is not enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

These spiritual pills can also be used to restore magic power for cultivation.

The main reason why he spent most of his time in the world of immortal cultivation was that the environment there was more stable.

Five years.

ten years.

within the expected time.

There won't be much change.

Such a stable environment is suitable for cultivation.

The biggest problem facing Dajing has always been the unstable situation and turmoil in the world. It is hard to say what the world situation will be like in five or ten years.

How can one retreat and practice with peace of mind in this situation?

Chaos in the world is not in Yu Xiao's interest. If he can take the initiative to push forward at a critical juncture and thus accelerate the changes in the world situation, it is necessary to at least stabilize China as soon as possible and get it back on track.

Think of this.

Yu Xiao checked the stone tablet.

Current personal information is as follows:

----

Name: Yu Xiao.

Physiological age: 23 years old.

Real age: 38 years old.

Reputation: 25720/30000 (awesome).

Luck growth: 9 points per year.

Luck: 155

Merit: 3846.

-

now.

It has been a month and a half since the bloodbath at Taiping Mountain.

It has been nearly a month since Shencheng killed Fujiwara Ryunosuke, and his reputation is still growing, but the speed has become slow.

These things have almost fermented!

It seems that it is difficult to directly break through the reputation level at present, and it is time to take more radical and proactive measures!

It’s the last day. If you haven’t voted for the monthly ticket yet, you can vote now.
