Immortal Palace Longevity - Chapter 108 Qingsu Peak
The foundation-building pills are kept in the sect’s treasury, and each one has a clear destination. Although Master Zhuang is responsible for distributing them, he has no right to dispose of them privately. They must be taken out of the treasury according to the sect’s rules and procedures.
This trip took about a quarter of an hour. Just when Liu Yu was getting anxious, Master Zhuang finally returned with a small porcelain bottle in his hand.
“Foundation-building pill”
Liu Yu stared at the porcelain bottle, and his heart was full of waves.
If he were not a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage at this time, he would have no room to interrupt, and could only hold back his thoughts and wait.
Master Zhuang walked to the stool in front of the table slowly and sat down, put the porcelain bottle on the table, and said with a polite smile:
“Brother Geng, this foundation-building pill will be handed over to you.”
Then he glanced at Liu Yu and said:
“You, a young man, must be cautious when building your foundation, and don’t let down your uncle Geng’s hard work!”
Liu Yu naturally hurriedly agreed.
Geng Yuanzhang, however, was not fooled by this. He snorted again, picked up the porcelain bottle, opened it and confirmed it was correct before walking out.
“Disciple, I’ll take my leave.”
Other foundation-building cultivators can be straightforward, but Liu Yu, a small Qi-refining cultivator, obviously can’t. He hurriedly bowed and then quickly chased after him.
“The other courtyard sect has really produced many talents in the past hundred years.”
Master Zhuang looked at the two figures who left one after the other, and a cold color flashed in his eyes.
He was born in a Jindan family. When the Jindan Yuanying cultivators only practiced, he was pushed out by the family sect to be the master. Naturally, he didn’t want the other courtyard sect to gradually become stronger.
When Liu Yu walked out of the hall, Geng Yuanzhang was already waiting at the door. He winked, and the two walked down the mountain together.
The foundation-building pill was indeed not suitable to be handed over to him in public. After all, if it was for the foundation-building pill, it was worth risking his life.
The two walked to the mountainside, and then took Geng Yuanzhang’s black flying boat and flew towards Qingquan Peak.
An hour later, the two returned to the Zhengyuan Hall and stood facing each other in the hall where the portrait of the founder was hung.
“I will give the foundation-building pill to my nephew. I believe there is no need for me to explain the benefits.”
“It is best to wait until you are more confident before using it, otherwise it will be difficult to get the next one.”
Geng Yuanzhang took out the porcelain bottle from the storage bag and handed it over, then said.
“I know the benefits and will live up to my uncle’s expectations. Thank you for your help, uncle Geng!”
Liu Yu took the foundation-building pill steadily with one hand and bowed his hands to thank him.
Geng Yuanzhang looked at him leisurely, and was silent for a while, as if he was weighing something. Finally, he took out a jade tube from the storage bag and said:
“This is my experience of building a foundation in my early years. You can take it and use it as a reference!”
Liu Yu took the jade tube and said with a “sincere” face:
“Master uncle, I will repay you for your kindness. If I can successfully build a foundation, I will definitely protect that junior brother and provide help in cultivation.”
“But I don’t know where that junior brother is practicing?”
Liu Yu’s words were indeed sincere. This kind of personal foundation building experience is often not deleted or modified. Each step has a detailed description, which has a guiding role for him. It is much more precious than the abridged version of the Sutra Pavilion.
At this time, he decided in his heart that if he successfully built a foundation, he would prepare a foundation building pill for Geng Yuanzhang’s descendants at the right time.
Geng Yuanzhang shook his head after hearing this and said bluntly:
“I can still hold on for a few more years. If you can build your foundation, come to me again. If not, forget it.”
Liu Yu nodded solemnly and then said goodbye.
Geng Yuanzhang did not speak, but waved his hand and walked to the small room on the side.
Seeing this, Liu Yu put the porcelain bottle and jade tube into the storage bag, left the Zhengyuan Hall, and walked towards the top of Qingquan Peak.
The Sutra Pavilion is located on the top of Qingquan Peak, which has the meaning of being above the important institutions such as the “General Affairs Hall”, “Zhengyuan Hall” and “Law Enforcement Hall” on the mountainside, and also shows that Yuanyang Sect attaches great importance to the inheritance of knowledge.
What is the biggest advantage of the sect compared to the family and the independent cultivators? It is nothing more than resources and inheritance.
The five major sects of Chu State have the most complete inheritance from Qi Refining to Jindan Yuanying, plus the absolute advantage in resources, so that talents can emerge in large numbers and stand at the top of the Chu State’s cultivation world, and in turn firmly control the resources.
The Sutra Pavilion on Qingquan Peak is divided into six floors. The first floor is open to the public without any threshold. The second floor can only be consulted by those in the late stage of Qi Refining, and the third floor is open to inner disciples.
As for higher-level knowledge, it is in another Sutra Pavilion on Qingyun Peak.
With the information of the Sutra Pavilion flashing in his mind, Liu Yu rushed to the Sutra Pavilion half a minute later and went straight to the third floor.
The Sutra Pavilion is in the shape of a pyramid, but the third floor is ten feet high and about twenty feet long and wide. There are hundreds of bookshelves of various sizes inside, and each bookshelf has a jade tube or a book.
After going upstairs, Liu Yu first saluted an old woman with wrinkles on her face at the counter, took out the disciple token and waited for her to check it, and then walked towards the bookshelf.
Although the old woman who manages the third floor is wrinkled and old, she is a real foundation-building cultivator. As a junior nephew, she must be polite.
Five years after leaving the sect, Liu Yu had not been back since he found the “Red Flame Formation” used for alchemy. With mixed feelings, he did not talk to other inner disciples and searched for foundation-building experiences in the sea of books according to the marks.
Finally, he searched the area related to foundation-building and found five jade cylinders recording foundation-building experiences. He went to the counter to ask the old woman to make a copy of each copy.
Each copy required twenty spirit stones, and it was forbidden to spread it, otherwise it would be dealt with according to the sect rules.
Although the price is high, it is much better than many casual practitioners who have no guidance and can only practice blindly.
After copying the five jade tubes, Liu Yu did not leave directly, because he would always get stuck when practicing the first-level top-grade spell “Fire Snake Spell”. He had no fellow practitioners to communicate with in Hanyue City and could not consult the classics. Now he wanted to find out if there were any books on this subject in the Sutra Library.
Liu Yu searched through more than a dozen bookshelves and finally found a book “Detailed Explanation of Fire Snake Spell” on the fourth bookshelf in the fifth row. It was a thin booklet, probably written by a Qi Refining disciple who was good at magic.
He suddenly realized that it turned out that the magic power needed to be compressed in a certain place in order to run smoothly, which was not mentioned in many magic books.
“There is no shortage of geniuses in the world of immortal cultivation!”
Liu Yu sighed, put the booklet back to its original place, and walked down the Sutra Library.
Some of the novel ideas mentioned in this booklet and some ways of using the Fire Snake Spell were not even thought of by Liu Yu before he read it, and he was full of admiration for it.
The purpose of this trip has been basically achieved. Unfortunately, I didn’t find a good alchemy formula. Perhaps this rare formula is only available on the fourth floor of the Sutra Library!
Liu Yu left the Sutra Library, left Qingquan Peak, and flew towards Qingsu Peak with the Blood Drinking Knife in a deep red light.
Qingsu Peak is not tall and majestic, but it has a second-level middle-grade spiritual vein, with 749 caves opened and closed, and was divided by the sect as a retreat for disciples in the Qi Refining Stage to advance.
