Chapter 279: Dragon and Tiger in Harmony
"Congratulations!"

Ji An smiled and bowed in response. He took out a jade box from his storage bag:
"There happen to be two Tianyuan pears here, please take them, brother."

Liu Yu checked the box, nodded, and put it into the storage bag:

"With my junior brother here, I can save myself a lot of effort."

"My fellow apprentice, you're too polite."

"I'll owe you these spiritual fruits for now. I'll use the hides of beasts in the late foundation building stage to pay off the debt in the future."

"Okay," Ji An put his elbows on the table, leaned forward slightly, and asked:

"Brother, what kind of wonderful method have you comprehended that requires the use of Tianyuan Pear?"

For other cultivators who practice Qingmu Changchun Gong, the understanding of the cultivator of Fire Gong cannot bring any enlightenment, but he is different.

It is no exaggeration to say that he has mastered the Five Elements. Which foundation-building cultivator can comprehend the power of the Five Elements to the same level as he does now?

The subtle influence of the ten Tao seeds in his body gave him his own insights into all practices involving the five elements.

“I wonder if you remember, Junior Brother, I once mentioned that I realized the harmony between water and fire.

Since then, he could draw inspiration from water when practicing martial arts.

However, when the cave was initially chosen, it was an area with strong fire spiritual energy. The water spiritual energy was boiled and evaporated by the flames, and the water spiritual energy was scarce.

At first it was just enough, but as my understanding of the exercises deepened, the water-based spiritual energy I absorbed gradually became insufficient.

Therefore, more nourishment is needed to fully realize the effect of the practice."

Liu Yu paused for a moment and continued:

“When I practiced the technique, I could absorb the spiritual energy of the sun’s Bing Fire and the spiritual energy of the Ding Fire in the cave, and then combine them in my heart to produce a strange phenomenon.

I suspect that if I could draw the water spirit directly from my body, I would be able to achieve better results."

Some time ago, Liu Yu listened to Master Zhu Xiangrong's teachings, during which he mentioned:

'Qi is generated in the kidneys, and there is real water in the qi; fluid is generated in the heart, and there is real qi in the fluid.

True water and true energy are the true dragon and the true tiger.

Only when the dragon and the tiger are in harmony can it be considered the true harmony of water and fire.'

Inspired by this, he came up with the idea of ​​shifting from external seeking to internal seeking.

However, he practiced fire-based exercises instead of water-based exercises, so the real water in his kidneys must be hidden deep inside.

He tried many methods, but was unable to sense the real water.

Ji An nodded continuously, he completely understood the other party's thinking, and said with a smile:

"Brother, you want to take the Water Spirit Fruit to nourish your kidney qi, to invigorate the deep and quiet kidney essence, and to bring the water in your kidneys and the fire in your heart together, thus achieving harmony between the dragon and the tiger.

This is a good idea, you can give it a try.

But after all, this is an experiment within the body, so how to strike a good balance is best for you to consult your master."

Normally, the conflict between water and fire is the norm. Even if the opponent has a good idea, if he doesn't handle it well, the conflicting power of the five elements will explode in his stomach.

Liu Yu was slightly stunned and raised his eyebrows.

"This is a matter of great importance to cultivation, and I have already sought confirmation from Master Zhu Xiangrong and Master Jia Yu.

They all expressed their support, gave valuable advice, and shared their experiences.”

Without the support of his teacher, he would not dare to put this idea into practice.

This junior fellow actually understood the meaning of the expression completely, which made him admire him.

It was beyond his expectation that the other party, who practiced the Wood Element Kung Fu, could have such insights.

"That's good. I wish you success in verifying the wonderful method."

Ji An ordered again:

"Cuihua, go to the Qingling Bamboo Forest and get some second-grade pine nut wine."

The fire-element spirit wine nourished by the wood element's energy is of great help to cultivators who practice fire-element techniques.

"Okay, I'll get ready now.

It's getting late. After getting the spirit wine, I'll go straight to preparing dinner. I'm sorry I can't serve you."

The maid agreed and left quickly in small steps.

"Haha, I'm in for a treat tonight!"

Liu Yu was all smiles. The bamboo tube pine nut wine was not only delicious, but also could speed up the operation of his martial arts.

If possible, he would like to have a cup every day.

However, he couldn't bring himself to make such an excessive request, and he didn't have many resources to exchange.

The two exchanged their cultivation experiences for a while, and then talked about the current situation.

Liu Yu frowned and said:

“Ancestor Yuxiao led a group of Chaoyuan-level uncles to Yuanhe Mountain, and the high-level forces left behind were insufficient.

We can still control the outer areas of the sect, but we are unable to support the surrounding families.

It is said that except for the areas controlled by various sects, a large number of families were destroyed in the demon disaster.

Even if the demonic disaster ends, it will probably take Xizhou a hundred years to recover.”

Population is a very important resource, and reproduction takes time.

Ji An looked puzzled and said:

"Something is not right. We are defending our formation, and our casualties are far less than those of the monsters.

It stands to reason that the consumption of low-level monsters has exceeded the tolerance limit of various monster races, so there is no reason for them to continue to pester.

Brother, do you have any news from Yuanhe Mountain?"

Unless the monsters can capture a large tribe of the human race, it will be disadvantageous for them to continue to consume their energy like this.

"No, our uncles won't tell us this information." Yuan Heshan.

The bluestone steps wind their way up, and the Qitian Peak reaches the sky.

On the top of the mountain, a nine-tiered hip-and-gable roofed hall stands quietly under the blue sky.

The black gold and black jade tiles emit a hazy glow in the sunlight, but do not reflect any light.

The surface of the vermilion beams and pillars is painted with light golden cloud patterns, which are different from each other in terms of flower cloud patterns, cloud water patterns, and residual cloud patterns.

The west wind was howling, and the iron horses on the eaves were making sounds of killing. The clanging sounds startled the green smoke curling from the three-legged copper incense burner with animal ears.

The plaque under the eaves has three golden characters "Zixiao Palace" written on it.

The handwriting is strong and has a sharp feel.

Zhenren Beichen sat in the main seat of the hall, on a brass throne with a relief of a dragon and a tiger fighting each other.

He is the head of Yuanhe Mountain. He looks like a skinny old man with two white eyebrows and a kind look.

But no one dared to underestimate him. Zhenren Beichen, who practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, had just defeated a wild boar demon king half an hour ago.

"There's no way to retreat at Yuanhe Mountain. If the monsters continue to attack, the mountain gate will be in danger.

I wonder if you, the masters, have any clever ideas to defeat the enemy?"

Zhenren Beichen spoke in a calm tone, but all the cultivators present could hear the murderous intent in his words.

There was silence in the hall, and the sound of iron horses outside the hall became louder and louder.

Nanshan Zhenren glanced at everyone and raised his eyebrows.
“My fellow masters, the spiritual veins of Yuanhe Mountain are only at the second-grade, top-grade level.

After enduring the fierce attacks of monsters for several years, it is no longer able to continue.

If the spiritual vein drops in grade, the gate of Yuanhe Mountain will be destroyed.

The three sects are of the same blood. We earnestly request all the real people to ask for help from the sect and send more Jindan real people. Let us work together to drive out the monsters!
Afterwards, Yuan Heshan will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Before the demon disaster broke out, Yuanhe Mountain was also seeking to improve the quality of its spiritual veins. After thousands of years of accumulation, the time has come for the flowers to bloom and the fruits to be borne.

However, the Jinling Sect was one step faster, and the prices of the five elements spiritual objects in Xizhou skyrocketed, slowing down their progress in improving their spiritual veins.

Now, all of Yuanhe Mountain has been abandoned except for the main spiritual vein. The mountain protection formation has been under fierce attack for so long, and the accumulation of hundreds of years has been destroyed.

If it continues to be attacked for a few more years, the spiritual vein might really fall in grade.

True Man Yuxiao was silent. Now they were still worried about that problem.

If the transformed monster attacks, the sect without a Golden Core True Person in charge will not be able to hold out for long even with a mountain protection formation.

The Jindan cultivator rushed to Yuanhe Mountain and wanted to drive away the monsters, so he had to leave the sect. However, he was too far away from the formation and was attacked by the shameless transformed monster, so he could only suffer the consequences.

Yuanheshan is almost in dire straits and can ignore these risks, but they cannot.

Without the support of Yuanying Zhenren, I feel insecure.

Master Beichen noticed the subtle changes in his ally's expression, feeling tired, and whispered softly:
"My fellow masters, if Yuanhe Mountain falls, the situation in Xizhou will be completely ruined."

Today, he spared no expense to use his secret method to kill a demon king, just to find a glimmer of hope in this war where a blunt knife cuts flesh.

Compared to before the demon disaster broke out, the number of Yuanheshan disciples in the foundation-building and Qi-refining stages who died was nearly half.

The death toll of Chaoyuan-stage monks also reached over 30%.

The mountain gate has less than 20% of its spiritual stones in reserve. If the war continues, it will have to draw on the earth's vital energy to maintain its supply.

In that case, the potential of Yuanhe Mountain will be exhausted.

Even if the demon disaster ends, Yuanhe Mountain will decline.

This was not what he wanted to see. Why should the other two sects stand idly by while stepping on the corpses of Yuan Heshan!

"I will explain the situation we are facing to the headmaster and will ask him to come over if necessary."

True Man Yuxiao responded that Yuan Heshan must still have some strength left, but if they really just sat back and watched it exhaust itself, there wouldn't necessarily be any backlash.

The sect's inheritance is in crisis, who can predict how the two Yuan Heshan masters will react!

The real person of Luofeng Valley is named Kunxiu, and his Taoist name is Baiyun.

Master Baiyun raised his eyebrows slightly and replied solemnly:

"I will report your sect's difficulties to Senior Brother Huoyun. I believe the three sects will be able to find a reasonable solution."

Mangcang Mountain is located 800 miles west of Yuanhe Mountain and is the base camp of monsters.

At this time, all the demon kings gathered together, each with a deep and solemn look in their eyes.

Today, the real person of the human race showed his extraordinary power. He actually managed to kill a demon king despite the attacks of the demon kings, which made them all terrified.

The bull demon roared a few times and said:

"What should we do next? All the tribes have reached their limits, and Yuanhe Mountain is still impossible to capture.

If Fairy Hu fails to complete her mission, we will all have to stay here.

If the fighting continues, the various ethnic groups will not be able to support it any longer."

The demon kings had long wanted to retreat, but they dared not disobey the orders of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Now they were in a dilemma and the situation was extremely unfavorable.

Qinglong chuckled and said:
"I think if we want to capture the human clan that has a mountain protection formation, we must unite our forces and attack day and night without stopping. We must consume the formation's veins as quickly as possible to achieve success.

It's not too late to summon all the demon kings now."

Black Wolf took a glance and said viciously:
"Master Qing Jiao, you sound so light. If we fight to the death against the human clan, even if we break through the mountain gate, how many survivors will our clans have left?"

He glanced at the demon kings and said:
"In my opinion, we should send an envoy to inform Fairy Hu that we should temporarily suspend our attack.

The war between the two races has led to the proliferation of demon cultivators. I have received information that a demon cultivator in the Jindan stage has appeared.

Let the human race worry about it themselves. It is not an easy task to wipe out the demon cultivators.

We might be able to benefit from watching the battle between the demon cultivators and the human race."
