Chapter 139 Hidden Cultivation
a few days later.
Yu Xiao returned to Xiaozhu Valley.
This Foundation Establishment Pill refining project caused Qinglan Valley to suffer heavy losses.
Of the thirty-six foundation-building pills that Jiang Changqing had spent a great deal of resources and energy to refine, the sect ultimately only managed to recapture twelve.
The other foundation-building pills all fell into the hands of the evil cultivators. Yuan Lie was killed, Jiang Changqing was seriously injured, and nearly twenty disciples were killed or injured.
Not only blood loss.
It's even more embarrassing.
This incident alarmed the head sect master, who announced that he would organize several other major sects to carry out a sweep and revenge against the evil forces.
Yu Xiao seemed to be.
It doesn't make much sense.
If the seven sects of Yunzhou were really able to wipe out the evil cultivators, they would have done so long ago. However, it is far from easy given that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light.
But the loss we suffered this time was really huge, and we would lose face if we didn't make some noise and show off.
As for Yu Xiao's attempt to take advantage of the situation, I believe both Qinglan Valley and Yinshi Sect have discovered this.
The two major forces have secretly launched an investigation.
However, just as Yu Xiao expected, both sides regarded the mysterious existence as an evil foreign cultivator. It was impossible for anyone to suspect an ordinary alchemist from Qinglan Valley.
This incident still had some negative impact on Yu Xiao, because the Foundation Building Pill project was considered a failure, which resulted in the loss of all project bonuses.
Three prefecture-level merits.
It’s a bit of a pity that it’s gone.
Of course, losing three merits and gaining three foundation-building pills is a loss that is insignificant in comparison.
I have all the foundation-building pills.
What other merits do you want?
After Yu Xiao returned to Xiaozhu Valley, he first practiced in seclusion for three months in order to stabilize his cultivation at the peak of the eighth level of Qi Refining.
During this period.
The head of Qinglan Valley, Qing Xiaozi, took action several times and destroyed several strongholds of the four major demon cultivation forces in Yunzhou, and several battles broke out between the forces of good and evil.
Although the seven sects were very powerful and suppressed the demonic cultivators so much that they dared not show up, as expected, they had no place to use their strength.
Even if several masters personally took action, they could only symbolically destroy some unimportant strongholds and branches.
The four major demonic forces are branches formed after the collapse of the Xuanyin Sect seven thousand years ago, and each inherited part of the Xuanyin Sect's heritage.
They are the Yin Corpse Sect, Yin Fire Sect, Yin Ghost Sect, and Yin Blood Sect.
The strength of these demonic forces is not weak, but as remnants, they cannot compete with the Seven Sects.
But they have a long heritage.
It existed as early as seven thousand years ago.
How can it be easily eliminated?
Therefore, the final outcome of this matter is likely to be nothing.
Yu Xiao had no interest in the disputes between good and evil, or the grudges in the martial arts world. After these few days of rest, he felt that he was in good shape and it was time to start trying to break through.
Through double doors.
Come to the Red Moon World.
Back to Lingjia Village.
At this moment, only a few days have passed since Yu Xiao left this world last time, so nothing in the village has changed much.
After a while.
Under Yu Xiao's order.
More than two hundred households of villagers gathered in front of him. They were all skinny and pale, and their faces were full of awe as they faced the immortal master.
this world.
Dark and depressing.
These ordinary people who were born in the lower class had a hard life and would do anything as long as they had food to eat.
The old village chief came tremblingly to the front and asked: "Master Immortal summoned us, what do you want to tell us?"
Yu Xiao said, "Give the order, from today on, anyone with ginseng or ganoderma lucidum that is over 100 years old can bring it to me in exchange for cooking oil, rice and flour."
When you hear this.
The villagers looked at each other.
Can ginseng and ganoderma lucidum that are over 100 years old be exchanged for daily necessities? If this is true, it is undoubtedly a good thing for the villagers.
The spiritual environment of the Red Moon World cannot be compared with that of the main world, but there is no doubt that in Daxia, there is a chance to breed more natural treasures.
Yu Xiao discovered that the quality and value of a ginseng of about two hundred years old in the Red Moon World could be comparable to that of a ginseng of seven or eight hundred years old in the Great Xia World.
As the end of the world.
The population is severely depleted.
But for zombies, most of the natural treasures are of no significance to their cultivation.
Because of this, the richness of cultivation resources and the upper limit of material quality in this world are definitely higher than those in Da Xia.
Yu Xiao is currently at a critical moment in his improvement, so he plans to mobilize the villagers to search for available resources for him.
Just a moment.
"Master Immortal!"
A village woman with a big belly came to Yu Xiao with several children. Among them, the girl who looked a little older was holding an ancient ginseng.
"This is the yam that my elder brother found while digging wild vegetables two years ago. Please have a look at it, Master Immortal!"
Yu Xiao released his magic power and grabbed it.
The ginseng flew from the girl's hand to hers.
He examined it for a moment. This ginseng was not very old, only about three hundred years old, but it was already comparable to the thousand-year-old ginseng of Daxia.
"Yes, I accept it. Do you want rice, flour, grain, oil, or vegetables, fruits, and fresh meat?"
The middle-aged village woman had seven children. Her eldest son, the only able-bodied son, went out hunting last year but unfortunately encountered a zombie and was killed by it.
Life is very difficult nowadays, and I was just trying to give it a try, after all, my family is really struggling to make ends meet recently.
She said quickly, "Master...Master...as long as you can give us some food, we can have a full meal."
Yu Xiao didn't say anything more.
Take out a bag of rice from the storage bag.
This bag of rice weighs more than 100 kilograms, enough for the village woman and six children to eat for one or two months.
"Thank you, Immortal Master!"
"Thank you, Immortal Master!"
"Why don't you kneel down and thank the Immortal Master!"
The village woman never imagined that an ordinary yam could be exchanged for so much food!
White flowers.
This is refined rice!
Even the best-off family in the village could not afford such noble and exquisite food!
And this scene.
Being seen by other villagers.
The villagers' eyes suddenly turned red.
Of course, with the immortal master in charge, no one dared to covet the rice in the village woman's hands.
The village woman has mountain products and yam in her hands.
Don’t other people have it?
This kind of medicinal herb is not rare in the mountains and forests. For ordinary villagers, it is just a wild vegetable that can nourish the body!
Whenever village women give birth, they use these medicinal herbs to regulate their body in order to quickly restore their vitality and maintain their birth frequency.
Therefore.
Many villagers' homes.
They all have collections of medicinal materials.
Following the example of a village woman who successfully exchanged for more than 100 kilograms of rice, others took out the medicinal herbs they had treasured at home.
But Yu Xiao would never go back on his word.
As long as it is medicinal material that meets the standards.
No matter where the villagers got it from, they could exchange it for rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, vegetables, wine, fruit,
At this moment, Yu Xiao has purchased several large farms and granaries in the Great Xia Star Flag Country, and has also invested heavily in the livestock industry and retail department stores.
He has as many resources as he wants. Ordinary rice, flour, grain and oil are worthless, but the space warehouse has been upgraded.
The luck consumption generated by Yu Xiao's transportation of these basic resources of Da Xia to the Red Moon World was very low.
Overall.
There is a cost though.
But it's not worth mentioning.
A skinny old man handed over two medicinal herbs, one of which was a 500-year-old ginseng and the other was a 400-year-old Ganoderma lucidum.
"I haven't tasted fat meat for twenty years!" The old man said with longing on his face, "If I can have one more bite of delicious fat meat before I die, I will have no regrets. I hope the immortal master will grant my wish!"
this world
Herbs are not rare.
Meat is extremely precious.
Due to the rampant corpse plague, wild animals are almost extinct, and the villagers are less likely to raise livestock due to food shortages.
The common people's source of meat.
Mainly insects and ants.
It is normal not to eat meat for ten or twenty years.
Yu Xiao then took out 100 kilograms of meat and 100 kilograms of flour from the warehouse. The meat was all freshly slaughtered fat pork belly.
"This... Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"
When the old man saw the white and juicy fat, his eyes immediately lit up and his mouth watered, and he was so excited that tears came to his eyes.
This scene.
Create stimulation again.
Let the word spread quickly.
Villagers from ten other villages also rushed to Lingjia Village to offer medicine.
Yu Xiao spent more than ten points of luck and gave away thousands of kilograms of various rice, flour, grain, oil, fresh meat and salt, but in return he got more than seventy usable medicinal herbs!
He didn't even expect it.
Small black forest.
It’s amazing that we can get so many resources.
Not only that, Yu Xiao's generous donation completely ignited the enthusiasm of the villagers, and hundreds of villagers entered the Black Mountain Forest to collect herbs.
Because the zombies in the Black Mountain Forest have basically been eliminated by Yu Xiao, this area is still relatively safe.
some time in the future.
This will become Yu Xiao's collection site.
Thousands of villagers from more than a dozen villages will become Yu Xiao's collectors. They will definitely turn the mountains and forests upside down in order to obtain more supplies.
With this batch of materials to help.
Plus supply from Big Summer World.
Yu Xiao only felt that when he reached the stage of foundation building, there was almost no pressure in terms of resources.
If the foundation can be laid successfully.
Yu Xiao can be considered an expert in both the main world, Yunzhou's immortal cultivation world, and the second sub-world, the Red Moon world. He can do more things and go to more places.
Next. In the small village of the Red Moon World.
Yu Xiao began to concentrate on practicing.
Six months later.
With the help of abundant cultivation resources, Yu Xiao successfully broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"not bad!"
"keep it up!"
Yu Xiao decided to break through to the foundation building stage in one go, so after spending another three months consolidating his realm, he began to continue practicing.
A blink of an eye.
Nine months passed.
Consumed more than one hundred Lingshen pills.
He successfully cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Yu Xiao then entered a state of seclusion, which lasted for half a year, and he consumed thirty fine-quality spiritual ginseng pills and five golden ginseng pills.
Another breakthrough!
Directly achieved the great perfection of Qi Refining!
This state of great perfection in Qi refining is also the state of half-step foundation building!
Yu Xiao at this moment.
Not only the blood and qi have reached the perfection of blood gang.
The magic power has also reached the perfection of Qi refining.
At this moment, relying on his strong physique as a physical cultivator, if he makes a full effort, there is a high probability that he is not inferior to a cultivator who has just started the foundation-building stage.
In other words, this ordinary disciple in Qinglan Valley, who only shows his cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining, will hardly attract any special attention from any big shot.
Today's strength.
It can almost sweep away all the true teachings!
Even some high-level priests and even elders can give it a try!
not enough!
It is safer to hide.
We need to go further!
Yu Xiao calculated the time and found out.
I have been practicing in seclusion in the Red Moon World for two years, and my progress in exploring this world has been almost zero.
Yu Xiao puts all his energy into practicing, so naturally he won't act too high-profile so as not to attract the attention of various forces in this world.
Of course.
Two years is not a short time.
It is impossible for Yu Xiao to just focus on cultivation, and this is not in line with his style.
During this time, I would go hunting zombies nearby every now and then, which could both accumulate merit and collect materials.
Two years passed.
A total of nearly 10,000 corpses were beheaded.
Yu Xiao refined all the corpse pills in his hands into ten thousand blood pills, and then used the blood pills as materials to make sixty-five blood essence crystals.
It only took two years.
Obtained sixty-five blood essence crystals!
Yu Xiao is very satisfied with such efficiency!
If the Daxia world is a production base, then the Crimson Moon world is a material base. The speed and convenience of obtaining materials far exceeds that of Daxia or even the main world.
With these materials.
Breaking through the Blood Gang Realm is no problem.
So, two choices are placed in front of us. Both blood and magic power have reached a bottleneck. How to choose the breakthrough direction next?
On the surface.
Mana seems to have a better chance of breakthrough.
Because even though Yu Xiao had dozens of blood essence stones in his hands, he did not have enough auxiliary materials to refine the Blood Yang Pill.
Let’s look at the magic power.
Yu Xiao has in his hand a 5,000-year-old ancient medicine from Da Xia, plus three foundation-building pills that he took advantage of the situation!
Three foundation-building pills.
The representative can try three times!
No matter how you look at it, the chances are great!
however.
Actually.
Yu Xiao had no choice.
You can only choose to break the blood first.
There are two main reasons.
First, Yu Xiao knew very well that his spiritual roots were mediocre, and even with the blessing of three foundation-building pills, he might not be able to successfully build the foundation.
If one can first break through from the "Blood and Qi Refining Gang" to the "Blood and Qi Casting Body" realm.
This can increase the success rate of foundation building.
Second, and this is also the most important and fundamental reason, he does not have the skills for the foundation-building period!
Yu Xiao's "Qing Mu Gong" is a Qi Refining Stage practice, and at best it can only be practiced to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
If you want to go further.
Yu Xiao not only needs foundation-building pills, various materials and opportunities, but he also needs to find a foundation-building practice method as soon as possible.
and this.
It is undoubtedly a troublesome thing.
The foundation-building exercises are different from the Qi-refining exercises. The Qi-refining exercises are generally common, while the foundation-building exercises are a secret that is not passed on to any sect.
Qinglan Valley Sutra Library.
Naturally, there is more than one method of building a foundation.
If you want to exchange for foundation-building techniques, you must have at least ten earth-level merits, and you can only exchange for part of the techniques each time.
Yu Xiao currently has not made any contribution to any earth-level sect. Even if he has enough merits and spirit stones, exchanging his mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation for a foundation-building technique will inevitably arouse suspicion and jealousy.
This matter cannot be rushed.
We still have to plan slowly.
Yu Xiao calmed down and devoted himself to cultivation in the Red Moon World for another year, and this year's focus was on consolidating his realm in preparation for a breakthrough.
at the same time.
Travel to and from the main world more frequently.
Yu Xiao began to accept alchemy tasks from the sect, worked hard to accumulate merit, and prepared relevant auxiliary materials for the next breakthrough in blood and energy.
……
This day.
The woods of the Black Mountains.
Yu Xiao was experimenting with a new spell when he saw green light coming out of his left and right hands, and two eerie green flames appeared in his palms.
"go with!"
Yu Xiao used fire control skills to gather the two green flames together, and finally turned them into a fireball and threw it out. Green light flashed through the forest.
next moment.
Green flames suddenly rose into the air, instantly covering the truck-sized rock and burning it completely in just a few seconds.
No magma is formed.
Not even too high a temperature.
Such a rock as big as a truck was burned in the flames!
A few seconds later.
The green fire dissipated.
The boulder disappeared and only a big pit remained!
Yu Xiao nodded: "The power of the Corrupted Bone Ghost Fire is indeed amazing. From now on, I will have another powerful killing move to use!"
Rotting bone will-o'-the-wisp.
It is the magic from the Yin Fire Sutra.
Several years ago, Yu Xiao killed two robbery cultivators, the Wu brothers, who broke into Xiaozhu Valley. These brothers were disciples of the Yinhuo Sect, one of the four great demon sects.
They left a volume of the "Yin Fire Sutra" containing the secret technique for Yu Xiao, and the secret technique recorded in it was this bone-rotting ghost fire.
This technique is extremely difficult to practice.
Yu Xiao also practiced for many years before he managed to master it, but since his cultivation level was far superior to that of the Wu brothers, his power was incomparable.
And because Yu Xiao possesses a highly sophisticated fire-controlling technique, when used in conjunction with the bone-rotting ghost fire, it is able to produce several times the effect in a myriad of ways.
these years.
Not only did his cultivation level steadily improve.
The practice of magic has never stopped.
"That's enough about the bone-rotting will-o'-the-wisp fire. Now let's start practicing the giant sword technique!"
Yu Xiao has learned the art of giant sword for more than ten years!
This difficult but extremely practical spell has now reached perfection after more than ten years of frequent actual combat and hard training!
Any kind of spell.
No matter how insignificant a spell is, once it reaches the level of perfection, its power and effect will be multiplied several times.
There are quite a few cultivators in Qinglan Valley who learn the art of giant swordsmanship, but only a handful of them can master this art during the Qi Refining Stage.
Once the giant sword technique is perfected.
The power, speed, attack distance and range will all be greatly enhanced.
Even if he has just entered the late stage of Qi Refining and is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, he is still able to pose a huge threat to the body cultivators of the same level, or the cultivators who have reached the perfection of Qi Refining with just one sword!
however.
Without waiting for Yu Xiao to start.
His perception skill had almost reached perfection, and suddenly he felt from a long distance that a strong corpse aura was enveloping the Black Mountain Forest.
what happened?
Yu Xiao felt puzzled.
All the zombies within dozens of miles have been slaughtered, so how come zombies suddenly break in out of nowhere?
Do not!
wrong!
Yu Xiao activated the purple-gold magic eyes.
With this secret reconnaissance technique that he had mastered to a small degree, Yu Xiao's field of vision had changed greatly. He could clearly see the black fog produced by the rising corpse qi.
This black mist.
Threads and threads.
There are at least several hundred.
Each one represents an independent corpse qi, and each corpse qi is at least equivalent to the strength of the sixth level of Qi Refining. A small number of them are even equivalent to the late stage of Qi Refining!
Among the corpses.
One dish is particularly eye-catching.
It was like black smoke billowing up. From the strength of the aura, it was not difficult to judge that he had reached the half-step foundation building stage!
"Not just any zombie!"
Yu Xiao has been in this world for several years and has a deep understanding of the habits of zombies.
No matter how high the cultivation level of ordinary zombies is, they will only follow their beast-like instincts.
The group of zombies that appeared near the Black Mountain Forest at this moment had a clear purpose. This alone was enough to judge that they were probably not wild zombies wandering here, and there was at least one corpse cultivator among them.
Yu Xiao speculated.
The anomaly in the black forest.
It is possible that it has already attracted the attention of the zombie forces in this world.
