Shangyuque

Chapter 96: The Inner Sect Prodigy of the Qi Training Ancestor, Wang Yulou's First Fight with a Monster (1.1W monthly ticket requested!)

The cultivator himself is just a traveler on the road of seeking the truth, but he is a special kind of traveler.

Like Wang Yulou, the last time he thought about where his final destination would be, the answer he gave was Zifu - marrying Zhou Yingxi.

Being a son-in-law, becoming a monkey version of Zifu, living to be 700 years old, and ensuring the continuation of the family, is actually not that bad.

How wonderful, full of the little monk's fantasy.

The reality is that even if he became Zhou Yingxi's Taoist partner, Zhou might not be able to push them to the Purple Mansion realm.

"If the Qunxiantai disagrees, no one can achieve enlightenment - cultivating immortals is a scam." An Ning's last words were like a heavy mountain, weighing on Yulou's heart.

However, Yulou was not too frightened. There was no need for people to dwell on worrying about distant matters.

Compared with the difficulties in the future, the current predicament is what he should focus on solving.

As long as your cultivation level gradually improves, everything will be fine. At least, even when facing dangerous times, you will be more calm.

Wang Xianmao's idea in this regard coincides with Yulou's. The communication between the clan leader and Yulou often returns to the simple yet complex focus of cultivation.

However, when Yulou really left the protection of his family, he still felt a little unsure.

In Wangjiashan, Wang Yulou is protected by the clan’s senior cultivators, the great formation, and the order of the Immortal Alliance.

In Qingxifang, Wang Yulou was protected by the guarding monks, the formation, and the order of the Immortal Alliance.

But after entering the Dripping Cave, Yulou realized from Zhuochi's attitude that there was no so-called immortal alliance order in the Dripping Cave.

Wu Jinyan is an example. This supervisor from the Immortal Alliance was directly absorbed into the Dripping Cave as a guest elder - he was quickly bribed and directly corrupted.

The common people in the Dripping Cave have to study the grace education lessons designed in the Dripping Cave day and night until the end of their lives.

As a guardian monk, Yu Lou works in Hewan Village, where no large formation exists at all.

No, actually there is a formation. The formation that comes with the mansion that Wang Xianmao gave to Yulou through Zhuochi is the strongest formation in Hewan Village.

"If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up, but here, I seem to be the tallest one?" Yulou sighed helplessly.

However, he had nothing to be afraid of.

If you always hide under the protection of others, how can you become a truly independent monk?

Flowers grown in a greenhouse are extremely fragile. Only by daring to face the storm and thunder can they reach the distant shore step by step.

After collecting the many treasures bestowed upon him by the clan leader, Yulou put on the robes of a disciple of the Bishui Palace and walked out of the mansion made of spiritual wood - yes, it was made of spiritual wood.

Therefore, this must have been a gift from the clan leader. Judging from Zhuo Chi's appearance, it is impossible for him to be so generous.

However, the clan leader’s attitude was too complicated, so Yulou decided not to think about it for the time being.

"Immortal Master?"

"Meet the Immortal Master!"

"Immortal Master!"

Suddenly, a fairy palace descended from the sky, and the villagers had already gathered around to watch the fun.

As soon as Yulou came out, they shouted "Master Immortal" and some even knelt down and kowtowed.

After taking a look around, Yulou realized that they were not kneeling to him, but to the Bishui Palace robes he was wearing.

The special method of education of kindness in Dripping Cave sounds like hell, but the effect is surprisingly good.

Although not all of these people are fishermen, the majority of them are fishermen wearing homespun shorts.

For fishermen, the monks guarding the Dripping Cave can exorcise demons and kill water monsters. They are their visible and real guardian gods.

Naturally, they are very respectful and would kneel down when they see it.

"Go away, don't stop the guard monk from traveling!"

While Yulou was observing and thinking silently, a team of warriors in red appeared and drove away the villagers who were surrounding the gate of Yulou's residence.

The captain of the red-clothed warriors was a female cultivator in her twenties with the sixth level of Qi Induction. She wore the robes of a Qingquan Palace disciple in the Dripping Cave, which were in other words, the robes of a menial disciple - to be precise, those were not robes at all, but just a uniform with a prettier style.

The female cultivator looked at the Bishui Palace disciple robes on Wang Yulou's body with envy. When she noticed Wang Yulou's gaze was directed at her, she quickly lowered her head, bent down, and spoke with a little nervousness.

"Senior Wang, Senior Zhang and Senior Cui invite you to a banquet to welcome you."

This was an inner sect disciple of the Dripping Cave who was at the initial stage of Qi training. Moreover, he was escorted to his new post by two senior cultivators at the foundation-building level. Within just half an hour, the reputation of Wang Yulou had spread among the cultivators of the Dripping Cave in Hewan Village!

This noble young man, she, all the monks stationed in Hewan Village, and even the two guarding monks, belong to two different species without reproductive isolation.

senior
Yulou felt a little sad, having grown up in Wangjiashan, where the Wang family had laid a foundation.

When he arrived at Qingxifang, he was met by Hongmei, Wang Rongsheng and others.

By chance, Yulou had met many foundation-building cultivators with the clan leader, and even saw two Purple Mansion cultivators.

At those times, Wang Yulou was just a marginal character. Everyone was better than him, and everyone's cultivation was higher than Wang Yulou's.

Zifu, whose lifespan can reach ten thousand years, is like an immortal.

The next day, he could make two suns appear in the sky and suppress the big sun. Zhou Fujiao, whose body was completely destroyed, looked embarrassed, but his soul was inhabited by the corpse of a demon general-level dragon, and he was also extremely powerful.

In addition, there is the mysterious rebellious master whose origin and identity are unknown. He is the real dragon that cannot be seen from head to tail.

But now, I can actually be called a senior by others.

The differences and distinctions between them made Yulou a little dazed for a moment.

He smiled and nodded to the female disciple from Qingquan Palace.

"Lead the way. By the way, what's your name? Why are you leading a group of mortal warriors?"

The female cultivator arranged her men to clear the way for Yulou, and then, she carefully followed Yulou's side and replied in a low voice.

“Senior, Junior Cultivator Qin Churan, these warriors are not completely mortals, they belong to the acquired realm warriors. If they can understand the innate essence, they can enter the Qi Induction Stage.

The acquired warriors practiced martial arts, and their power was quite strong. Many of the water monsters that harassed the fishing village in the river bay were just beginning to enter the realm of miscellaneous monsters, so they could easily deal with them. "

Wang Yulou nodded thoughtfully.

He was accustomed to seeing foundation-building monks using their magical powers, Qi-cultivating monks controlling magical instruments and performing secret teachings, and so on.

In his opinion, a Qi Induction Stage cultivator can only cast spells and play with talismans in the early stages, and in the later stages he can at most manipulate mid-grade magical instruments, which is already weak enough.

But in the grassroots governance unit of the Dripping Cave in Hewan Village, Qin Churan, who is at the sixth level of Qi Induction, can actually be considered a leader-level strongman. With his Qi training, he has even become an ancestor.

Well, how should I put it, it’s a bit abstract, but it’s normal if you think about it carefully.

After all, Yulou's starting point was so high that he only understood the world of the young monks today.

"My two, um, fellow Taoists, what are their names and their backgrounds?"

Yulou continued to ask, this is the first time to arrive at a mountain, first figure out the situation inside the mountain.

Zhuo Chi and Wang Xianmao were both so high up that they would not pay attention to these details.

Perhaps in their eyes, what happened in Hewan Village had nothing to do with Yulou, and Yulou only came here to practice meditation.

"This"

Qin Churan really didn't expect that Qilinzi, a member of a wealthy family, would behave like this.

Too arrogant, really too arrogant.

You come here to be a garrison monk, but you don’t even know the information of your colleagues?!
In fact, she misunderstood Yulou. When Yulou asked her, he was trying to grasp the situation and collect information at the first opportunity.

Yulou is not only not arrogant, but also takes it very seriously.

In the past at Qingxifang, most of the shopkeepers and customers who came and went around him were people with high-level Qi training. Even so, Yulou was too lazy to pay attention to many of them and was just polite on the surface.

Now personally asking for the information of the two Qi-cultivating disciples in the Dripping Water Cave is the most insightful experience that Yu Lou has ever had in his life!

Although she was shocked by Wang Yulou's arrogance, Qin Churan decided to take a gamble after a brief thought, and she reported in a low voice.

"The younger one is Senior Zhang Xuewu, and the older one is Senior Cui Dingyi.

Senior Zhang had the opportunity to become a disciple of the Bishui Palace. He often acted in a domineering manner, which led to some conflicts with Senior Cui.

Senior Cui is a native of Hewan Fishing Village. He has practiced step by step from a mortal warrior to his current level, but for many years he has been unable to break through to the fourth level of Qi training. "

"Hmm? You mean, they are both outer disciples?"

Yulou noticed the element instantly.

My goodness, there are three Qi training stage cultivators guarding Hewan Village, but two of them are outer disciples, while Wang Yulou is a disciple of Bishui Palace - an inner sect disciple.

This... Am I the top leader now?

"Yes, Senior Zhang and Senior Cui both belong to Huachi Palace." Qin Churan said.

Who can compare with you? I don’t know which big family you are from, but you entered the Bishui Palace just after practicing Qi.

She couldn't imagine that the only reason why Wang Yulou didn't directly join the inner sect of the Red Lantern was because he needed to practice the Guishui Qi of the Dripping Cave.

If the Dripping Cave did not have this kind of spiritual energy that was just right for Wang Yulou, he would probably be sitting in Wang Jingyi's cave now, happily practicing Qi.

"Okay, I understand."

Wang Yulou nodded without comment and said nothing more.

After sending Wang Yulou into Zhang Xuewu's mansion, Qin Churan stood outside the mansion, feeling a little disappointed for a moment.
She couldn't tell what she was feeling sad about. Maybe she was sad that her pledge of allegiance had not been responded to?
It may also be because she thought that Yulou looked about the same age as her, but had already achieved great success in Qi training.
Born into a prominent family, a genius in the inner sect, extremely talented - maybe he has a single spiritual root. Such a person will have the opportunity to build a foundation in the future, right?
The gap between people is too big, and the more Qin Churan thought about it, the more depressed he became.

"Boss Qin, Senior Wang is obviously the son of a wealthy family, so don't let your imagination run wild, hahahaha."

A warrior who was familiar with Qin Churan joked with a smile.

"What nonsense! Why don't you go on patrol?"

It was the first time for Yulou to enter the residence of a strange monk.

Well, forget about Qingxifang guarding the monks' residence, that's a place anyone can enter by paying spirit stones.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, please take a seat, please take a seat!"

Seeing Wang Yulou coming, Zhang Xuewu hurriedly stood up to greet him.

At this time, he had changed into the clothes of a disciple of Huachi Palace.

The uniforms of Huachi Palace were made of fine silk and looked better than those of Qingquan Palace. As outer disciples, they were better than menial disciples after all, but they were still not monastic robes.

Just from the uniforms of the Huachi Palace disciples, Yulou had a new understanding of the sect's governance model.

Save as much as you can and never give benefits casually; you must motivate them to move and work hard for a beautiful life of cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Yulou, have the two seniors left?"

Cui Dingyi is older and relatively calmer, or perhaps because he has almost no chance left in the Taoist path, so he is not as active as Zhang Xuewu, but he is still very polite.

"Well, you two don't have to be so reserved. I just came here to practice in peace.

But as the guardian monk of the river fishing village, I will still do the work that should be done."

"Don't Be Shy"

It was obvious that Yulou was the invited guest. At the same time, Zhang Xuewu's cultivation level was at the fifth level of Qi training, which was much higher than his. However, Yulou acted like the host.

As he spoke, he sat steadily in the head seat at the table.

Contrary to his usual style, Wang Yulou chose an extremely high-profile response.

Being low-key, steady, and even cowardly is a good strategy, but this does not mean that being high-key is not a good strategy.

The secret of its application lies in one's focus.

Judging from the appearance of the shallow-water turtle boy in Hewan Fishing Village, if Wang Yulou keeps a low profile, he might be unsafe.

Zhuochi and the clan leader have already set up his character. As long as Yulou doesn't do anything stupid, these two fellow practitioners will naturally not dare to have any bad intentions towards him.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Wang is young and promising, brave enough to take on responsibilities, and now he has set an example for me with his actions.

I am just a little older than you in age, but in other aspects, I still have a lot to learn from you, Wang Daoyou!"

After Zhang Xuewu performed passionately, he did not sit down, but waved his arms and spoke loudly.

"Prepare the banquet!"

Cui Dingyi smiled, said nothing, and drank the spiritual tea silently.

It would be difficult for him to go any further anyway, so naturally he had no motivation to lick Wang Yulou.

"My two fellow Taoists have been here for many years. I would like to know about the appearance of monsters near the Hewan Fishing Village. I wonder if either of you can tell me about it?"

Zhang Xuewu was about to speak, but Cui Dingyi spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist Yulou, I am from Hewan Village. Actually, I have lived here for nearly a hundred years."

Cui Dingyi didn't want to lick Wang Yulou, but he knew that he couldn't act too cold, otherwise it would seem as if he had something against Wang Yulou.

Therefore, he must take the initiative to demonstrate his values and attitudes in order to at least protect himself.

In front of a young and promising genius with a prominent family background who entered the inner sect of the Bishui Palace after practicing Qi at the first level, Cui Dingyi's caution is actually a kind of survival wisdom.

"Inner Gate Prodigy" is a very niche term.

"Stop. Are there any specific records, such as how many attacks by monster beasts occurred in a certain year, how powerful the monster beasts were, etc.?"

As a local monk who practiced in Hewan Fishing Village, Cui Dingyi was naturally familiar with the situation here, but his simple empirical summary was too general, and Yulou wanted to see more specific data.

"Yes! Yes! Fellow Daoist Wang, yes, I'll go find it for you right away!"

Zhang Xuewu finally got the chance and quickly responded.

"No hurry, let's have the banquet first?"

Yulou originally wanted to have the banquet first, but when he looked closely, he found that the banquet here was extremely shabby.

Two spirit fish, one steamed and one boiled, were the main dishes. There was no spirit wine, but there was plenty of high-quality liquor. The only other things were a bowl of spirit rice and a cup of unknown spirit tea for each person.

If the attitudes of the two men showed their intention to get closer to Yu Lou, the 'Qi training ancestor' and the 'inner sect genius', then this shabby banquet demonstrated their true strength.

"This, Fellow Daoist Wang, is a little shabby, but don't worry, next time a monster attacks, we will treat you with monster meat!"

Cui Dingyi spoke, and this time it was his turn to lick.

There are two specialties of Hewan Village. One is the magical fish that can be caught from time to time in the swamp, and the other is the attacking monsters - all the monsters have treasures!

Yulou smiled slightly, took out a bamboo wine pot from the storage bag and said.

"Come, try the eighth-grade Mangjing wine I brought. This wine is made with Mangjing stone and added with a variety of special spiritual herbs. The taste is extraordinary."

Zhang Xuewu and Cui Ding's eyes widened when they heard this. Is this the arrogance of the children of wealthy families?
I've never heard of an eighth-grade spiritual wine made from mango crystal stone!

Yulou changed his low-key strategy today and took the initiative to show off his high profile, and used eighth-grade spiritual wine as a treat, just to make the two new Taoist friends realize the situation.

There is a future if you hang out with me, Wang Yulou!
In this way, he could practice peacefully in Hewan Village.

"Because this wine has been added with Mangjing Stone, it cannot be contained in a gold or stone cup. Come, bring two wooden cups for the two Taoist friends!"

When Zhang Xuewu heard Yulou's words, he hurriedly pretended to crawl to his feet and urged the servants to find a wooden cup.

Cui Dingyi, who was older and more experienced, noticed something was wrong. Why was there a silver cup in Wang Yulou's hand? Wasn't it not possible to use gold or stone vessels to hold Mangjing wine?

What? A ritual cup made of mirror silver?
Cui Dingyi finally had some intuitive feeling about the luxury of the wealthy families. When the three of them raised their glasses to drink together, his eyes did not leave the cup made of mirror silver.

So luxurious!

"My two fellow Taoists, the three of us should unite as one and work together to protect Hewan Village in the future."

After saying this, Yulou drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Cui Dingyi had lived for more than a hundred years. This was the first time he drank eighth-grade spiritual wine. He was reluctant to drink it all in one gulp, so he held the cup and took several sips before finishing it.

The meal included magical fish, magical rice, magical tea and magical wine, and everyone enjoyed it very much.

Through communication with the two, Yulou gradually figured out some things about the Dripping Cave and gained a grasp of the relevant situation of Hewan Village.

By the end, Yulou even felt a bit dazed because of the relay between the two of them, with each taking turns to take the stage.

It seems that he is not here to be a garrison monk, but to gain experience as a temporary official.

But it is different from the training on a temporary basis. Yulou's background and his own strength allow him to have the ability to change the fate of anyone by promoting him at will.

At least, Yulou can change the lives of these two people!
-
Before entering the house, Yulou heard He Laosan cursing. He shook his head, having indeed forgotten about this bastard.

"Third brother, stop scolding me, you won't suffer any loss if you follow me.

If you keep scolding me, I will send you home, and someone else will take care of you then."

Wang Yulou said something to He Laosan, and He Laosan naturally understood it. He shook his head angrily.

Hanging out with Wang Xianmao and hanging out with Wang Yulou are both jobs, but these jobs are naturally divided into high and low levels, and the poor bird is not qualified to refuse Wang's job arrangements.

Thinking of this, it opened its mouth wide and started cackle again.

"Here, one Essence Blood Pill a week. No more."

Yulou threw out a blood essence pill, which landed right into He Laosan's mouth, and then he said.

"I've eaten the pills. Come on, take me to the Bishui Palace."

After taking the Essence and Blood Pill, He Lao San finally had some motivation to work, so he obediently became Wang Yulou's mount.

The patriarch's thoughts are hard to guess.

Before leaving, he first refined a flying boat for Yu Lou, and then gave him a spiritual bird at the end. The functions of these two things overlap to a large extent.

As for why we want to go to the Bishui Palace.
He had already obtained the method of tracing the Guishui Qi that Yulou needed, but the two elders were present at the time, and the list of merits to be exchanged by the disciples of the Bishui Palace was so long that Yulou did not see it clearly.

This time he went back to the Bishui Palace just to see if there was any opportunity on the list that he could seize to earn merit.

The first four levels of the Guishui Qi in the Tracing Pulse are worth four hundred points of merit. Yulou now owes the Dripping Water Cave three hundred points. Although the merit will not compound interest, it would be better to pay it back as soon as possible and feel relieved.

As a guardian monk in Hewan Fishing Village, Yulou could only earn thirty merit points a year. It would be foolish to just rely on living a life of hard work to pay it back.

Various elixirs can be used to speed up the practice of Qi training. What Yulou wants to do is to find a way to earn merits, pay off his debts as soon as possible, and improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

Seize the time, in spiritual practice, time is everything!
Danri established his foundation when he was in his teens and later became Zifu.

Zhou Yingxi might be able to establish her foundation before the age of thirty. Even if she has only one spiritual root, if she establishes her foundation at this age, she will have the opportunity to achieve Purple Mansion in the future.

Wang Yulou's goal was not high, he just wanted to build his foundation before he turned eighty. An Ning demonstrated that the foundation-building period could extend one's life to nearly five hundred years.

He believed that in four hundred years, so many things could happen that nothing was impossible.

Wang Yulou sat cross-legged on He Laosan's back. He Laosan pushed himself forward with his two feet, and with a slight flap of his white wings with gray flying feathers, he flew into the sky.

At this time, Zhang Xuewu, who had come to Wang Yulou to "report" with the data of monster attacks in Hewan Village over the years, had just walked to the door of Yulou's mansion and happened to witness the scene of Yulou riding a crane. In the sky, the crane was flying gracefully. The young man in green robes turned his eyes slightly, nodded to Zhang Xuewu, and then flew into the sky.

The spiritual crane flaps its wings and steps on the heavy clouds, gracefully like an immortal walking in the cave. The bright spiritual light is covered with the robe, and I go to the clear water to find my fate.

When Zhang Xuewu saw Yulou leaving, he thought that Yulou's words at the welcoming banquet were just a prelude to her leaving her post at this moment.

He wanted to leave with the documents in his arms, but after thinking it over, he decided to stand at the door, waiting.

There was no chance, he had no chance, so in front of Yu Lou, who might be his chance, he was so humble and unwilling to give up.

He has dual spiritual roots and is so-called extremely gifted, but he is only average among the three thousand Huachi Palace disciples.

If there is one double spiritual root cultivator among fifty people, then there will be sixty double spiritual root cultivators in Huachi Palace, but only twenty people can become inner disciples every year.

There are also many powerful ones among those with three spiritual roots, and those with four spiritual roots who have connections also want to join, so there are not many opportunities left for Zhang Xuewu.

If you can't become an inner sect disciple, what's the use of having dual spiritual roots? It's useless!

……

Flying all the way to the Bishui Palace, He Lao San landed steadily.

A cultivator who had just started practicing Qi was riding a spiritual bird at the peak of the Miscellaneous Demon Realm. Everyone who noticed this pair of people looked at them sideways, but after seeing the Bishui Palace robes on Yulou, they understood and stopped looking.

A descendant of a wealthy family!

In fact, the Anbei King’s family is not the top family. Among the foundation-building immortal clans, they can only be said to be just okay.

However, now that the Red Lantern Master Mangxiang is about to attain the Golden Elixir, everyone expects that as the chickens and dogs raised by Mangxiang, the Wang family will also ascend to heaven with him, so they all give him more face than before.

In the Hall of Merit, Yulou simply explained his purpose to the deacon disciple, and the deacon disciple gave him a jade slip.

“This jade slip contains the exchange catalog for the disciples of the Green Water Palace, but it cannot be updated in real time.

The exchange of sect's merits is not fixed, and sometimes extremely valuable things will suddenly appear.

If you want to get real-time updated information, you can purchase the "New Product Notification" service.

Twelve Spiritual Stones are enough per year. After purchase, we will notify you every time the Merit Exchange Catalog is about to be updated."

Yulou was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that this was the way the stewards of the Merit Hall of the Bishui Palace generated income!
He first accepted the jade slip, then took out twelve spirit stones from his storage bag, handed them to the deacon, and said.

“Fellow Daoist, you know my situation. Now I owe the sect a lot of merit.

Therefore, I want to find some means to earn merit as soon as possible. Do you have any recommendations?"

The deacon's attitude became better after he received the spirit stones, he explained.

"The inner sect disciples' merit points are often linked to tasks. Now as a garrison monk, in addition to the fixed merit rewards each year, if you have the merit of killing monsters, you will get another reward.

In addition, your Bishui Palace disciple token has a merit trading function, and you can also earn merit by trading with other disciples.

However, the fastest way is to use spirit stones to buy merits.

Six spirit stones and one point of Bishui Palace merit, it's actually not expensive, haha."

Yulou nodded. Six spirit stones for one merit, so the exchange price for the first four levels of the Tracing Pulse Guishui Qi Method was two thousand four hundred spirit stones.

Considering the rarity and power of this method, this price is very reasonable.

You know, for high-value resources and heritage, having both a price and a market is something that can only be encountered by chance.

But it is naturally impossible for Wang Yulou to exchange spirit stones for merits. In his hands, spirit stones can be used for cultivation and to produce new spirit stones. If used well, they are no worse than merits.

"I am quite proficient in Taoism. I wonder if the sect will accept magical instruments?" Yulou asked.

The deacon was stunned for a moment, looked at Yulou, and replied.

"Uh, I'll take it, but fellow Daoist, the palace only accepts top-grade magical instruments with more than eighteen levels of restrictions."

It is known that Wang Yulou is a cultivator with a single spiritual root. He has become a Qi practitioner at a young age. He does not look like someone who can refine a top-grade magical weapon.

He didn't know that Yulou's cultivation was achieved in the cave. Currently, the only one who noticed the mismatch between Yulou's cultivation and the speed of his spiritual roots' cultivation was Wu Jinyan.

But Old Wu was on good terms with the Wang family, and he didn't know much about the situation of the Wang family's direct descendants, so he didn't dare to ask.

As for sending Yu'an to Fulong Temple, there is no need to worry about someone targeting her cultivation. Fulong Temple is thousands of miles away from Hongdengzhao, and no one knows Yu'an except Ning Yao.

Wang only allowed Yulou, Yu'an and Rongshi to draw Qi into the cave to practice, because he considered that if there were more people, the risk would be unbearable.
-
As a being at the peak of the Miscellaneous Demon Realm, the space on He Lao San's back can even accommodate two people.

Yulou, who was sitting cross-legged on it, placed the jade slip in front of his forehead and began to read it carefully.

"Golden Pill" - one hundred and ten merit points.

The name is scary, Golden Elixir, but this thing is a golden elixir in the physical sense, made from many kinds of spiritual gold.

The medicinal properties are extremely powerful and can break through all bottlenecks in the Qi training period.

How can you not be overbearing? You use the magic tool to make pills.

The only problem is that after taking this pill, you will lose the possibility of making further progress.

This is the great elixir that can break through the realm.

"Five True Treasure Pills" - 260 points of merit per pill.

The meaning of the Five Truths is the same as the Five Spirits, Five Rhymes and Five Colors. They actually correspond to cultivators who cultivate five different kinds of spiritual energy. The monks of the Wood Method take the Wood Truth Treasure Pill, and the monks of the Water Method take the Water Truth Treasure Pill.

After taking the precious pill, one can break through the realm, but it is not 100% certain to succeed. However, it will not lose the possibility of further progress.

This is a precious pill, not a great pill that can break through a realm. Some unscrupulous merchants bully independent cultivators and sell the great pill that can break through a realm as a precious pill. It's like selling a big fat piglet as a small fragrant pig. It's so bad that it's rotten.

The advantage of a sect is that within the sect, people who want to cheat you have the idea but not the courage, so the possibility of falling into a trap is greatly reduced.

However, not everyone can enter the sect. Families, big and small, from the bottom to the top, control all the key positions in the sect.

Soon, Yulou found an elixir that he really needed in the list of elixirs.

"Three Reds Marrow Cream" - 20 points of merit per pound.

The three reds refer to the big blood-producing grass, the essence of monster flesh and blood, and the red spiritual ginseng. The three reds are used as the main ingredients to make the three-red marrow-producing paste, which can be applied to the body to strengthen the cultivator's body.

Qi-inducing monks are cheap and can risk their lives, but after practicing Qi, they can easily get hurt if they are involved in any fight, so it is necessary to cultivate or develop a stronger body.

But the lifespan of Qi-cultivating monks is too short after all, and without the foundation for dual cultivation of body and technique, only foundation-building monks can truly train their bodies - if they do not want to open the Purple Palace.

In a limited lifespan, it is impossible to have both a strong body and powerful fighting ability, but this does not mean that Yulou must become a glass cannon. Any cultivator with a little bit of ambition will strengthen his body as much as possible.

Don't pursue invincibility, but at least don't be restricted by the magic you cast. That's enough.

After scanning through all kinds of elixirs, Yu Lou would have already filled his shopping cart with all the elixirs he wanted if he had one. Unfortunately, he couldn't afford to buy any for the time being, and he still owed Bishui Palace 300 points of merit.

In fact, Yulou was most interested in the column of magical instruments.

After all, he had been developing towards becoming a weapon refiner since the beginning of his cultivation.

《Thirty-second Floor - Scarlet Magic Sword》——Two thousand one hundred merit points.

Two thousand one hundred merit points are approximately equal to ten thousand spirit stones. For a magic weapon, this price is very abstract.

Even if the flying sword is a celestial dragon-shaped magic weapon, it is still too abstract to buy a top-grade magical flying sword with ten thousand spirit stones.

However, after Yulou finished reading the detailed introduction of the Scarlet Magic Sword, he fell into silence.

The base material of the sword is the eighth-grade refined Shuiyuan Hanbin iron of the water attribute, and it is also endowed with the eighth-grade flame-feathered rooster's comb blood, with both water and fire as its attributes.

Eight levels of sharpness, eight levels of solidity, eight levels of speed, and eight levels of various basic restrictions.

As a refiner who had just entered the art of refining weapons, Yu Lou was very sure that this scarlet magic sword could not be refined by a refiner in the Qi training stage - he did not have the confidence that he could refine it even with the assistance of Yu Ruyi.

Putting aside other things, just the act of refining an eighth-grade Shuiyuan Hanbin Iron can be done by people who are rich or stupid - selling Hanbin Iron alone can earn a lot of spirit stones, there is no need to refine it for use.

And what about refining the eighth-grade flame-feathered rooster's comb blood with the properties of Shui Yuanhan's iron? Yulou felt a little numb just thinking about it.

There is a master in the Dripping Cave. The one who forged this flying sword must be someone with extremely high attainments in Taoism!
Because the most powerful thing about this flying sword is the restrictions on it. The thirty-two restrictions are all refined into the sword body, and the entire flying sword has been developed to the limit.

The sharp restrictions that Yulou mastered that can be used on spiritual gold materials, even after inheriting An Ning and the Wang family, only have seven levels, but this weapon refiner can master eight levels.

However, in terms of sturdiness and speed, Yulou has mastered one more level than this weapon refiner. Of course, it is possible that this weapon refiner did not try his best - the eighth level is only the limit of the flying sword, not his limit.

After reading the introduction of the Scarlet Sword again, Yulou finally looked away.

"Thirty-second Floor - Golden-Horned Mud Turtle Shield" - six hundred merit points.

When Yulou saw the familiar Squirtle shield, he first thought of Yu'an, and then realized something was wrong.

Six hundred points? Thirty-two floors?

There is a problem - I'm risking my honor as a weapon refiner!

Sure enough, after reading the introduction to base material selection and restrictions, Yulou understood.

In addition to the tortoise shell of the golden-horned mud turtle, the base material of the shield also uses eighth-grade black steel, but the problem is that the integrated and assembled magic tools are not the same thing.

The shell of the golden-horned mud turtle is of the golden bone and dual nature, while the black steel is of the golden nature, so the compatibility is not good. In the final analysis, this turtle shell has been pushed to a height that does not belong to it.

"Thirty-second Floor - Spiritual Waves Gathering Water" - 800 merit points.

It is made from the skins of multiple water-attributed monsters mixed with spiritual silk and with the blessing of thirty-two levels of restrictions, it has reached the ceiling of functional magical instruments.

It can trigger a variety of spells such as fog wave spell, torrent spell, water shield spell, etc. When used in combination, it can have a certain water-attributed magical effect and enhance the fighting strength of water-attributed monks.

What a good thing.

Seeing the most powerful magic weapons that can be exchanged in the Merit Hall of Bishui Palace, Yulou thought of Hongmei. The reason why Hongmei was stopped by the shopkeeper in Jinguan Pavilion was because she had a magic weapon with thirty-two layers of restrictions customized by Jie Xiu in her hand, which she had not yet refined.

Looking back now, I should have seen that Hongmei had a big secret.

The magical instruments refined by the top weapon refiner in the Dripping Cave can only reach the 32nd level. How can Hongmei, a casual cultivator, refine a magical instrument of the 32nd level?

Unfortunately, Yulou and Yu'an were still young at the time and didn't understand the twists and turns involved.

If I had discovered An Ning Xiao Dong Tian earlier.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about the past anymore.

He Laosan flew back to the sky above Hewan Village. Seeing that Zhang Xuewu was still waiting at the door of his mansion, Yulou patted He Laosan and let him land at the door.

"Friend Xuewudao, what are you doing?"

Yulou knew very well that Zhang Xuewu had been waiting at her doorstep for so long as a gesture of some kind, for Yulou and others to see.

This person was quite cruel to himself. With the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi training, he was so respectful to Yu Lou who had just started Qi training.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, look, I brought you information about the monster attacks on Hewan Village over the years."

Wang Yulou smiled and nodded, then raised his hand to open the magic circle of the mansion.

"Go in and say it, go in and say it."

The two men came to the lobby, and Wang Yulou smiled bitterly.

"This house was given to me by Senior Zhuochi. I didn't prepare anything in such a hurry, not even a cup of hot tea. I hope you can forgive me."

Wang Xianmao's operation of asking Zhuochi to give treasures is actually very interesting. Yulou's current situation knows the mystery.

"It's okay, it's okay. By the way, I will arrange for someone to help you.
No, I mean, I will help you find some people who want to serve the Immortal Master, and then you can choose them."

The opportunity came and he tried his best, but in his haste he thought he had said something wrong. Zhang Xuewu was so nervous that he almost sweated.

“It does require some people to take care of it. In this case, I think Qin Churan is not bad. There are more than 20 Qi-inducing cultivators in Hewan Village, and they do not need her as the captain of the warrior patrol team.

Let her come and serve me, and select a few smart servants, can you help me do it?"

High-profile, domineering, with a powerful background, Yulou now has the character of a sex-hungry ghost.

It is necessary to grasp the character's setting in all aspects, so that the two guarding monks dare not make trouble and create a good environment for yourself.

"Yes! I will definitely make sure that the martial arts training is done properly for Fellow Daoist Yulou!"

Zhang Xuewu wanted to call out "you", but he couldn't be so shameless and humble, so he hesitated for a moment and just called out "Yulou Daoist Fellow".

Wang Yulou smiled. How could a true hero hesitate to take action because of a word or a title?

From this point of view, Zhang Xuewu is obviously still a little lacking.

To be precise, it is the care itself that is lacking in meaning.

For example, when Hongmei was in such a terrible state, Wang Yulou and Wang Xianmao were still worried that he was a tyrant who was pretending to be a pig but was actually a tiger.

Are Wang Yulou and Wang Xianmao too timid and too cautious? No, it's just that the stories of the strong men are too terrifying.

The temporary difficulties in their rise are even just footnotes to the legendary story.

What is sleeping on straw and tasting gall? Eating real stuffing, being forced by the enemy to eat the flesh of one's son, offering one's wife, daughter and even son to make the enemy give up the intention to kill.
Yulou remembered the clan leader's words, 'The changes of dragons and snakes will come when the time is right'.

Chief, you asked me to enter the Dripping Water Cave to practice and cut off my past, just to hone me into a true Qilin talent?
There was only a slight flash of confusion in his eyes, and Yulou looked at Zhang Xuewu.

"Go ahead and arrange it as soon as possible."

Zhang Xuewu stood up, walked to Yulou, saluted with both hands, bowed, and then quietly retreated.

Yulou's evaluation of him has increased to a higher level - he has the potential to become an insightful person.

If he wants to build a foundation in the Dripping Cave in the future, he must start cultivating his own power now.

It’s troublesome. Cultivating immortals is really troublesome. Improving cultivation, managing power, practicing auxiliary Taoist techniques, breeding spiritual beasts... all of these are essential.

With a wry smile, Yulou opened the book that recorded the monster attacks and began to read silently. Data would not lie. The fastest way to understand the risks he faced was to look for answers from past records.

Gradually, Yulou's expression became more serious.

Starting seventy years ago, the frequency of monster attacks on Hewan Village began to increase, from once every two years to once a year to multiple times a year.

The strength of the monsters is also constantly increasing. At first, they were all in the mixed monster realm, and later, the initial stage of the small monster realm began to appear. In the past eight years, there have been five small monsters in the middle stage...

Yulou discovered uncomfortably that his position as a guardian monk seemed to be a hidden pit.

But... it's not entirely a bad thing. As a guarding monk, Wang Yulou can convert his merits into merits for killing monsters.

Moreover, he has three Baili Xiaoyao Escape Talismans and a rare Golden Eagle Falling Talisman. He can activate the Baili Xiaoyao Escape Talisman when he encounters danger.

If the enemy is in the foundation building stage, then use a Golden Eagle Falling card. In this way, even a high-level cultivator in the middle stage of the foundation building stage will find it difficult to catch up with him.

Therefore, the monster attacks are just free experience for Yulou, but at the moment, the rising trend of attacks is still a bit too obvious.

Do you want to ask Zhuo Chi?
While Yulou was thinking about it, Zhang Xuewu had already sent Qin Churan, who had just bathed, burned incense and changed into gorgeous clothes, to the door of Yulou's residence.

It's only been half an hour!

Zhang Xuewu: Fellow Daoist Yulou, I really want to make progress!
"come in!"

Yulou was somewhat looking forward to it. Having lived two lives, this was the first time he had to pretend to be a pervert to consolidate his image, and he had no experience in this.

Thinking of this, he added.

"Oh, Xuewu, don't come in. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Zhang Xuewu was immediately delighted when he heard this. He thought he understood what Yulou meant.

However, Qin Churan, who was walking in front, was a little panicked, but she still walked into the magic circle.

The magic circle, the only magic circle in Hewan Fishing Village, was given to the mansion of this senior surnamed Wang by the foundation-building elder Zhuochi.

She didn't know whether this opportunity was good or bad, but she had no power to refuse, although she didn't think of refusing at first.

The right to choose that Wang Yulou and Wang Yu'an have enjoyed since childhood is actually very luxurious.

"Come in, don't just stand there!"

After hearing Wang Yulou's words, Qin Churan withdrew his gaze from He Lao San and carefully walked into the main hall.

Senior Wang, who was wearing the robes of a disciple of the Bishui Palace, seemed to be reading a book, but judging from his expression, he might be in a bad mood, which made Qin Churan even more uneasy.

Are you dissatisfied with me?
"how old are you?"

Wang Yulou asked directly without even raising his head.

"Twenty-three."

"Three spiritual roots?"

"Yes, wood, metal, and water."

Yulou finally raised his head, with a serious look on his face.

As for water magic, the water magic of the Dripping Cave is naturally unique.

Wood method, the most profound inheritance of the Wang family over the past thousand years is the wood method inheritance.

This female cultivator who took the initiative to pledge her allegiance is still worth cultivating.

Thinking of this, Yulou spoke in a gentle voice.

"Okay, sit down. I asked you to come in."

At this moment, Zhang Xuewu outside the house suddenly discovered something wrong.

Something seemed to be moving under the stone bridge in Hewan Village.

He swept his spiritual sense and his face immediately changed color. He quickly used his magic power and shouted loudly.

"There's a monster! Everyone stay away from the river!"

Wang Yulou frowned, stood up, walked out of the mansion in three or two steps, and rushed towards the direction where Zhang Xuewu spoke.

With the help of his spiritual sense, he saw clearly the monster hiding under the stone bridge.

This monster looks like a water snake, but its upper body is half human, except that its half human body is covered with scales.

The monster spat out its tongue, and Yulou could see blood coming out of its mouth. It turned out that the monster was hiding under the stone bridge and had eaten several people crossing the bridge.

"Fellow Daoist Yulou, be careful, it's a human-faced snake in the middle level of the lesser demon realm!" Cui Dingyi, who was standing on the rooftop, reminded.

He was reluctant to use his precious mana to show off by flying with a flying device, so naturally he could only stand at a high point to get a better view.

The human-faced snake noticed that among the three guarding monks, Wang Yulou had the lowest cultivation level, so he immediately mobilized his demonic power and fired three rapid-flow spells at Yulou!

Under the cover of the torrent technique, it wrapped itself in the water and headed straight for the Jade Tower.

Wang Yulou looked surprised - No, why do you think I'm a soft persimmon?

Just because my cultivation is low?
Should I be bullied because of my low cultivation level?

Damn, it’s bad enough that the great monk bullies people, but you, a monster, also bully the weak and fear the strong!

Damn it!
