Facing Wang Xianzhou, who suddenly appeared in the dripping cave, Yulu felt as if she had found her backbone and all her unease disappeared.
As the Drip Water Heaven has been connected to the outside world, the rules of the Immortal Alliance naturally extend to within the Drip Water Heaven, and those cultivators trapped by the guiding Qi are the best proof of this.
Fortunately, within the Drip Water Heaven, the monitor executor of the Immortal Alliance is Wu Jinyan, who can be considered as a half-hearted person.
Now with Wang Xianzhou present, Yulu can do whatever she wants as long as it doesn't involve those foundational families and factions within the Drip Water Heaven, and there won't be any constraints.
"Support me? Old ancestor, are you saying?"
This is Yulu asking knowingly.
"Haha, let's take a look at this letter first."
Taking the letter of the clan leader from Wang Xianzhou, Yulu read it carefully.
Seeing that the two had a good relationship, Qin Churán, who served at the side of Old Ancestor Xianzhou, also put aside her unease and turned to curiosity.
Clearly, the top supervisor behind her had a big family, which may be the reason why she could directly enter the Azure Water Palace.
“Don't worry about the backward flow method, Xianzhou will help you solve it.”
In addition, you'd better find a suitable spouse within the Drip Water Cave when the opportunity arises, who can help you deal with any trouble or problems that may arise in the future.
Although the Mist Pool agreed to take care of me, after all, they are just outsiders, and my relationship with them is not very deep.
Finally, it is the miscellaneous matters in the estuary fishing village, and I cannot give you advice.
Yulu, be brave and go ahead.
"With Xianzhou old ancestor present, there will be no problems or accidents."
With Old Ancestor Xianzhou present, there will be no problems or unexpected incidents!
This is the power and signature of a Condensing Qi period god-killer.
The Wang family has hundreds of direct descendants in every generation, among the outstanding three from the Xian generation, the most outstanding is Wang Xianzhou, but being too hard can break easily, and in fact, he is the only one who has not yet succeeded in cultivation.
As for Old Ancestor Jingyi, he belongs to the type of paragon-in-law from a second marriage, who is considered direct but only on the outskirts within the direct line, and his situation is relatively special.
Putting down the letter, Yulu looked at the old ancestor.
"Churan, arrange for people to prepare a banquet."
Seeing that Qin Churán had left in response, Wang Xianzhou rubbed his beard and asked.
"Are you wanting to arrange for those two to meet me today?"
It's originally to help solve the problems of Wang Yulou, and Wang Xianzhou believes that he understands what Yulu means.
"No, old ancestor, I can handle those two people, but it's about retracing blood and Guo Shui Qi"
Laughing, Wang Xianzhou listened to Yulu's question and sighed.
"Tomorrow, the ancestor will test your spiritual root. Such an opportunity is rare and cannot be sought. You and Yuan An have a bit of good fortune."
However, for you, retracing blood and Guo Shui Qi is a good choice and also involves the question of your foundation in the future when you successfully cultivate to the foundation stage.”
"Questions about the spiritual foundation after the foundation is laid?"
Yulu used to believe that he had the opportunity to become immortal, but later his goal changed to successfully opening the purple sea.
Later on, his goal was lowered again, and he even had the idea of becoming a paragon-in-law.
But whatever the case, he is extremely confident in his ability to reach the foundation cultivation stage.
Double spiritual root talent, family cultivation, prudent conduct style, and Ruyi Golden Light's assistance. If this is still not enough to reach the foundation stage, then the threshold for foundation cultivators is too high.
However, he has indeed never thought about his cultivation after reaching the foundation stage, for he is just beginning his journey into the Condensing Qi level. Foundation cultivation and reinforcing one's spiritual foundation are things that seem too distant.
"Yulu, normally, cultivators in the Condensing Qi stage can only practice covering two types of spiritual energy."
So, after reaching the foundation stage, one must choose between the two. First, cultivate them as the direction for the spiritual foundation of the Dao, and then follow the order of the Five Elements Interlinking Life, to gradually complete the remaining ones.
However, you have both Water and Fire spiritual roots, and there is no such thing as a Condensing Qi practice that can accommodate both Water and Fire, harmonize the Dragon and Tiger, and coexist Yin and Yang in the world.
And adjusting your spiritual roots with Gui Shui Qi can make you more leisurely when choosing the direction for your spiritual foundation after foundation cultivation.
By then, you can practice the method of Hongdeng Zhao. At first, you can become a top-notch foundation cultivator by using this method.”
Yulu is very smart; he quickly understood the intricacies of it all.
"My spiritual root is six fire and four water. If I practice fire arts during the Condensing Qi stage, although the root energy is insufficient to break through the foundation stage, it will affect the speed of supplementing my foundation after reaching the foundation stage?"
Wang Xianzhou nodded repeatedly. This child, Yulu, is good at getting to the point right away.
"Yes, true! Condensing Qi methods of five colors, five tones, and five spiritual roots are simple and easy to practice, but it becomes troublesome after reaching the foundation stage."
"We Wang family have not had anyone reach the door of the purple sea for years because we cheated during Condensing Qi cultivation. However, this choice is also a kind of helplessness - we Wang family are afraid to take risks."
It will be troublesome after foundation cultivation?
Yulu thought for a moment and asked again.
"Isn't Mu Chunze also a foundation cultivator who practices the five-spirit absorption Qi? But it seems to me that he is even stronger than the clan leader."
Wang Xianzhou stood up and sighed with some emotion.
"He reached the foundation stage when he was in his seventies, and later he became a paragon-in-law. Putting him aside, you have both Water and Fire spiritual roots, which naturally makes your cultivation more complicated."
If you want to go further, you need to prepare well during the Condensing Qi stage. Once you get the root energy harmonization right, after reaching the foundation stage, you can use the Hongdeng Zhao foundation cultivation method to achieve the effect of simultaneously cultivating the water and fire meridians' spiritual foundations.
Actually, if your spiritual root is six water and four fire, you may not need to come to Drip Water Heaven. There are hundreds of fire methods of spiritual energy within Hongdeng Zhao, and you can choose freely."
Unexpectedly, Old Six Mo Chunze is a little genius. Yulu feels a bit moved in his heart, so many heroes in the world.
However, he noticed that about the backward flow issue, Wang Xianzhou still hasn't mentioned it.
"Old ancestor, I asked about the backward flow issue with deci water spiritual energy as it's mentioned in the letter from the clan leader."
Wang Xianzhou's reply this time was very careful, and he hesitated while explaining.
"Yulu, in fact, whether it is necessary to backward flow the pulse has yet to be known."
There are great differences between ancient and modern methods, and foundation cultivation itself is becoming increasingly easier.
After reaching the foundation stage, the widened meridians from backward flowing the pulse will be useless. At that time, what you need to cultivate are the acupoints.
On the one hand, having more acupoints can make your combat strength stronger during cultivation.
On the other hand, carrying the spiritual foundation of the Dao with acupoints is also a preparation for entering the purple sea.
The width of the meridians will not affect the speed of cultivating acupoints, and this is something that can be confirmed within the clan."
Ah?
It seems that I've been tracing the pulse with much effort, only to be in vain?
Yulu felt a bit bitter in his heart.
"Old ancestor, but if the ancestor tomorrow says that backward flow of Guo Shui Qi is a top-notch combat technique, then without backward flow of pulse widening meridians, relying solely on the spells attached to the deci water spiritual Qi method, it can hardly be considered a top-notch combat technique."
Looking at Yulu's complex expression, Wang Xianzhou said thoughtfully.
"Widening the meridians can indeed enhance your combat abilities during the Condensing Qi stage."
But direct foundation cultivation can avoid fighting in the Condensing Qi stage, right?"
Direct foundation cultivation?
Yulu had never thought of such a good thing. Although Wang's family has resources, it is not luxurious enough to allow a cultivator to stay at home and practice until the foundation stage.
Whether such foundation cultivation can shoulder the responsibilities of the family and whether it can stand firmly in the Wuning Daoji world, both cannot be guaranteed.
"So, should I still trace the pulse?" Yulu said with a wry smile.
"The clan leader and I cannot give you advice.
Since the clan leader and I have been out of town for a while, the ancestor has been in seclusion again.
She has no family, and the few disciples she had are also with her in the fairyland.
Now, we are even unable to find the ancestor's person to ask about the meaning of making you practice backward flow of Guo Shui Qi.
Perhaps you can think of a way at Drip Water Heaven, backward flow of Guo Shui Qi is the method of Drip Water Heaven after all, they should know something about it."
Wang Xianzhou offered his own suggestion.
"Old ancestor, I am now 23 years old, and I have already cultivated my Condensing Qi to a certain level. Since I entered the Azure Water Palace directly, no one at Drip Water Heaven knows my age."
Old Wu might have some doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask. Perhaps he assumed that our Wang family had a backer in the ancestor, and had a way to speed up the cultivation of their disciples.
But if I were to go and ask the elders of Drip Water Heaven or the high cultivators of the Purple Palace about backward flow of Guo Shui Qi, it would be troublesome."
Yulu hadn't expected that when the ancestor recommended him a method, there would be so many after-sales problems.
Compared to inquiring deeply with the people of Drip Water Heaven at the risk of exposing himself, he was more inclined to follow Old Ancestor Xianzhou's first plan.
Reaching foundation cultivation directly without facing combat during the process, naturally, there is no need to widen meridians.
Yulu thought about it very carefully. Wang Xianzhou was silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"Yulu, Ancestor Dianri has practiced for a thousand years and has had much contact with our Wang family. The advice she gives must have deep meaning."
If the purpose is only for root energy harmony and combat supremacy, you actually have many other Condensing Qi methods to choose from, but she deliberately recommended backward flow of Guo Shui Qi."
Therefore, the clan leader asked me to come here to explain these complex situations to you.
"Backward flow of Guo Shui Qi, with backward flow in front and Guo Shui Qi in back, it is only when backward flow of Guo Shui Qi is combined with Guo Shui Qi that it has its greatest feature."
"If you want to continue backward flow of pulse, I can make the spiritual elixir for you."
Alright, everything has been explained thoroughly from all aspects.
"The backward flow of Guo Shui Qi is generally poor or even worse in combat, and it does not have an advantage in terms of cultivation speed. Besides backward flow, this ancient method has no distinctive characteristics."
But backward flow itself looks not very useful, and the ability to fight in the Condensing Qi stage is not that appealing.
Wang Xianmao did not know how to make a decision, so he sent Wang Xianzhou to hand over the decision-making power to Yulu.
If you want to practice backward flow of pulse, the clan will support you.
If you don't want to practice backward flow of pulse, the clan will do its best to help you.
"Old ancestor, I plan to practice cultivation for a while first, during which I will cultivate in two different modes."
"The first method is not to trace the pulse, and to focus on daily cultivation of Guo Shui Qi with full force, in order to accumulate cultivation."
"The second method is to practice Guo Shui Qi while also practicing backward flow of Guo Shui Qi."
In the end, we will compare the costs and time consumption of these two cultivation methods, and then make a decision. What do you think?"
Practicing cultivation is a troublesome thing, and the process from cultivating Qi to building a foundation takes at least decades. Yulu decided to try a small experiment first.
In his view, if he can practice cultivation while also tracing the pulse, it won't significantly affect his cultivation speed, and it won't cost much. So, it's worth a try.
As a method recommended by Ancestor Dianri, the most distinctive feature of the backward flow of Guo Shui Qi is that it uses the extremely Yin Guo Shui spiritual Qi to widen the meridians. If this characteristic is abandoned, it may deviate from Ancestor Dianri's original intention in recommending this method to him.
Ancestor Dianri, why are you in seclusion at this time?
Isn't this just a waste of my time?
The reason for Ancestor Dianri's seclusion is actually very simple—staying in the world will shorten her lifespan.
Every day spent wandering would shorten her lifespan, and if it weren't for her master Man Xiang seeking to attain the golden core, she might not come out for decades.
Staying inside the fairyland and leading the forces and alliance sacrifices from nothingness is the norm for high-level cultivators.
"This is a foolproof strategy, and in fact, there is no limit to widening the meridians."
"Yulu, while backward flow of pulse can improve combat abilities, the strength of cultivators is ultimately determined by their cultivation."
When they reached this point, both fell silent.
Wang Xianzhou was a cultivator who had repeatedly slain foundation-stage cultivators with his Condensing Qi. Exactly because of this, he had such deep feelings about the differences in cultivation levels.
How many ordinary cultivators could easily deal with all his combat techniques simply because their cultivation levels were higher than his.
The key lies in the cultivation levels.
"Let it be for now. Once I've been around for a few more years, my age will no longer be as sensitive, and I can finally ask around with the high-level cultivators of Drip Water Heaven."
Thinking of this, Yulu remembered the age and lifespan of Old Ancestor Xianzhou — there was not much time left for the ancestor.
"Old ancestor, how long do you plan to stay in Drip Water Heaven?"
Hearing this question, Wang Xianzhou stared at Yulu in shock and answered with a carefree smile.
"I won't be leaving, child. I won't be going anywhere this time."
Yulu's mouth slightly widened, and it took him a while before he snapped out of it.
"Then it's fine. The spirit fish in Xiu Shui Lake taste quite good, and you can eat them every day in the fairyland."
"Hahaha, I'm almost in the ground, what do I need spirit fish for? You should eat more."
At the reception prepared for Wang Xianzhou, Yulu introduced his two good disciples to the family elders - Wang Rongzhou.
A tired-out appearance, his eyes were foggy, his hair was white, and his cultivation level was only six layers of Condensing Qi. It looked like he would never have a chance to break through to the late-stage of Condensing Qi in his life.
Nevertheless, even though 'Wang Rongzhou' looked that way, Zhang Xuewu and Cui Dingyi still stood up straight with great respect.
Wang Yulou and Wang Xianzhou's efforts to maintain low profile were also seen as a testament to the massive power of the Wang family of Anbei.
A disciple from the family coming out to cultivate at the sect with a bodyguard of only six layers of Condensing Qi beside him, such an event could only be done by a major family.
They didn't know that 'Wang Rongzhou' was not a bodyguard, but a killer god, someone who could kill people like Wu Jinyi as easily as slaughtering chickens.
Of course, such ignorance may be a good thing. At least Cui Dingyi's sleep and mental state will not be disturbed.
"Old ancestor, what do you think of Cui Dingyi?"
After the banquet ended and people dispersed, Yulu asked respectfully.
"Very impressive, but it's not him who is impressive, it's the rule that allowed him to go from a common person to a cultivator from scratch."
Yulu, you may not be very sensitive to what the later cultivators from Drip Water Heaven represent behind the scenes.
The death or survival of the Drip Water Immortal has been discussed by many within the Immortal Alliance, but now that I've personally entered Drip Water Heaven, I'm certain of it.
"The Immortal Lord, he has definitely not disappeared completely!"
Yulu nodded slowly. In fact, he had a hunch in his heart about the possibility that the Immortal Lord might still be alive.
In Drip Water Heaven, the faith and reverence for the Immortal Lord are fanatical.
Some systematic designs in Drip Water Heaven are specifically focused on strengthening the faith and reputation of the Immortal Lord.
Although he had heard Old Ancestor Xianzhou's words, he thought of another problem.
"It's better not to talk about the Immortal Lord's matter."
However, the cultivation path for cultivators to return to their original state after the cultivation of their physical body is indeed outstanding, something not found outside and unique to the fairyland.
But Old ancestor, the cultivators in the fairyland are all disciples of Drip Water Heaven. With you staying there for a long time, wouldn't you be watched or expelled?"
Wang Xianzhou refilled his cup of spiritual liquor and smiled.
"Hahaha, do you think that's why I came so late?"
Before coming here, I went to the Lotus Immortal City to re-arrange a position as an Immortal Alliance envoy with an old friend, and my superior is the Immortal Alliance's Chan Jingyan.
"I never thought that I would be so close to death and yet become an envoy of the Immortal Alliance. It's quite interesting after all."
Yulu was slightly stunned. My god, with Wu Jinyi as the leader of Wang Xianzhou, who is actually in charge when they stand together?
Not to mention the gap in power, the connections that Wang Xianzhou has to easily arrange for a position as an envoy are something that Wu Jinyi could never match.
"Yulu, let's talk about Cui Dingyi. In my opinion, we don't need to wait for him to reveal his true colors. We can just use force to suppress him. He's just a small cultivator at the beginning of the Condensing Qi stage, and I don't even need to fight. You can handle it."
"Might makes right. You're being too cautious by asking the clan leader how to handle him and asking me for my opinion on him. When it's time to be decisive, you have to be decisive!"
Regarding Cui Dingyi, Wang Xianzhou offered some advice.
Yulu waved his sleeves, he will lead the way and guard the rear, thus not only exercising Wang Yulou but also ensuring nothing goes wrong - perfect.
"Let's wait a bit. He's still working for me now. In the past few days, overworking is better than underworking. Old Cui is doing quite well, so there's no hurry."
"Hahaha, Good, very good, you kid. Talent, talent."
Wang Xianzhou didn't specify what talents Wang Yulou had, but Yulu guessed that it was nothing but praise.
"Then Old Ancestor, please rest well. I will continue my daily cultivation?"
In the presence of Old Ancestor, Yulu held him in the utmost respect, perhaps even ten times more than that for the Immortal Lord, with a bit more.
"There's no need to rest, I'm not old and can still move around. Oh, I should go for a walk, no, a traveling."
Wang Xianzhou scolded Yulu and picked the most low-key flying artifact he had, setting off to tour Drip Water Heaven.
The Red Finch at the peak of the Xiao Yao Realm was left behind in Yulu's courtyard, serving as an armament for him in times of danger — although Yulu had no real dangers to face within Drip Water Heaven.
However, the Red Finch's personality is incredibly domineering. As soon as it came, it grabbed the nest of the Crane Old Third and shouted at Wang Yulou to find a few female spiritual chickens as companions for it.
The Heron Old Third, with tears in his eyes, sought help from Wang Yulou, who could only comfort it generously and instructed Qin Chu Ran to prepare a spiritual fish for Red Finch every week.
The essence blood pill is something that only dejected birds like Heron Old Third would cherish. The Red Finch, having seen the world with Wang Xianzhou, naturally looked down on such things.
Now that the Red Finch has moved into Yulu's mansion, in the future, the servants in the mansion will only be those who are clueless and Qin Chu Ran. Therefore, the responsibility for taking care of birds will fall on her.
This, Qin Chu Ran only had respect for.
With the enigmatic Wang Xianzhou, throwing out a spiritual bird at will was something at the peak of the Xiao Yao Realm. The grandeur of the Wang family of Anbei gradually became a concept to her.
This is an existence that is not inferior to any of the clans within Drip Water Heaven.
If the Wang family of Anbei followed the Mengxiang lineage, it would be better to stay within small clans like Drip Water Heaven or even become a foundation family within a certain Zhangmen. Then why follow Mengxiang and Red Lanterns?
In the deep night, after a day of cultivation, Yulu did not wait for his ancestor to return, but he was completely at ease.
What kind of concept does Wang Xianzhou belong to?
He rose to become an envoy of the Immortal Alliance through martial arts competitions, once gaining fame in Wuning. Despite his relatively short rise in comparison to those ancient masters who took centuries to start ruling, Wang Xianzhou was undoubtedly a top-level talent.
At the peak of Condensing Qi, he is so powerful that killing Wu Jinyi is as easy as slaughtering a chicken. Even if he encounters a foundation cultivator who wants to take him down, Old Ancestor Xianzhou could easily escape.
So, Wang Yulou would rather pray that there will be no accidents when he first uses the Qing'er Fire-Water Furnace to refine his weapons.
Qing'er Fire-Water Furnace, a mid-grade magical artifact-grade refining furnace, with seventeen layers of restrictions.
For a refining furnace, however, the restrictions are not the most important, as it is not meant for dueling.
The main functionality of a refining furnace depends on two aspects: material and structure, with restrictions coming last.
"Qing'er" refers to the fact that it is made from a middle-grade magical artifact using eight-grade spiritual materials to refine pure iron, with two pairs of blue-colored furnace handles extending outward from the inner cavity, resembling pot handles.
"Qingdi" refers to the fact that it is made from three middle-grade spiritual materials: eight-grade Qingchi Pool Lead, eight-grade Stack Layer Rock, and eight-grade Wu Steel. These three materials are refined together and applied onto nine-grade spiritual material Bifeng Huo Mu, forming the inner core.
"Water and Fire" refers to the structural design of the refining furnace, which can use two refining methods based on water and fire to refine magical artifacts.
In terms of fire methods, the Bifeng Huo Mu can prevent the influence of spiritual fire, and the refined spiritual material Qingdi Iron is not afraid of spiritual fire at all. Therefore, this furnace can be used to refine magical artifacts using fire methods.
In terms of water methods, the Qing'er Fire-Water Furnace has an inlet under its left ear, where spiritual water flows in and, following a circular path along the rail tracks of Bifeng Huo Mu that are tightly attached to the inner cavity of the inner core, it flows downwards towards the center of the base.
During the period of the spiritual water flowing, the alchemist can use special water method refining techniques to wash and refine the magical artifact.
Of course, the Water Method Refining Dao is too special. Compared to Fire Method Refining Dao, it is far less versatile in terms of the types of materials that can be processed and the types of magical artifacts that can be refined.
However, Yulu noticed that the Merit Hall in Drip Water Heaven had corresponding Water Method Refining Dao techniques that could make up for the deficiencies in the foundation stage of An Ning's refining techniques.
However, those techniques could only be studied by Yulu himself and could not be passed down to others.
When purchasing the refining furnace from Wu Jinyi, Yulu also bought a batch of refining auxiliary materials.
He threw the remaining pieces of Human-Faced Snake Scale into the refining furnace, activated the Red Lantern Fire, and began refining the magical artifact.
Yulu was quite familiar with the refining process for the Small Snake Scale Shield. Depending on the size of the scales, he would infuse it with four to seven layers of restrictions.
After continuously refining 14 pieces of snake scales, only six of them exploded, which can be considered a great success.
Yulu would never use these small snake scale shields himself. He refines them for the purpose of enhancing the fighting capabilities of the disciples from He Wan Yuruan Village.
Such an inferior magical artifact, when used properly, can still produce excellent effects.
"Ant swarm can kill elephant" is completely impossible when the difference in cultivation is large. However, in battles between cultivators and beasts, the wisdom of cultivators is more important than magical artifacts.
Cooperation in spells, positioning, and so on are all the advantages of cultivators.
For example, if the Human-Faced Snake from that day were to attack with the cultivation level of the disciples from He Wan Yuruan Village trained by Yulu, they would only meet a sorry end.
Collective Fire Art, Law artifact mixed up walking path, and so on are all basic ones. Yulu or Zhang Xuewu could secretly operate a small flying sword or a jade blade with ink applied, directly stealing the bigger ones hidden among the flying small snake scale shields.
The beast might react, but it would also be a waste of its energy and attention to try to discern which artifact is garbage and which is a hidden deadly weapon among the many.
Dueling is a systematic thing. Multi-person combat and cooperation, under certain conditions, can create huge results.
This is also the reason why Yulu believes that as long as he can prepare the condensed Qi cultivators from He Wan Yuruan Village, he can naturally obtain the right to manage personnel.
War achievements and victories are always the fastest ways to unite people's hearts.
"What is your current level of refining magical artifacts?"
Seeing Wang Yulou stop the spiritual fire and begin to sit and recover, the returning and watching for a long time Old Ancestor Xianzhou asked.
"The refining of low-grade magical artifacts will never be a loss, the refining of mid-grade ones can ensure a small profit, and as for high-grade magical artifacts, I haven't tried yet, so I'll accumulate more experience."
Yulu's answer was extremely conservative, mainly because he didn't have any materials for high-grade magical artifacts.
The Turtle Iron Armor is indeed a good item, but he has no intention of refining it into a high-grade magical artifact. Instead, he plans to make a special set of iron armor, which he will wear as body armor.
The Turtle Iron Armor is a valuable item; it has strong defensive power without the need for refinement. Ordinary magical artifacts cannot break through its defense.
"Very well, sending you to Hong Mei is correct. With An Ning's refining techniques in the Refining Dao Handbook, Yulu, your prospects are unlimited."
But water and fire spiritual roots are also quite good in refining pills. Are you interested in learning to refine pills?"
Old Ancestor Xianzhou is an expert in refining pills, arrays, and cultivating spiritual beasts. The Iron Family behind the Iron Seized Crane is one that he brought into the Wang family.
Seeing the old ancestor's intention to cultivate him, Yulu said with sincere awe and fear.
"Old Ancestor, Yulou has taken too many privileges from the family and has not contributed even the slightest bit to it. Now, you are also going to teach me to refine pills."
Wang family has been passed down for so long, and it also has a small closed-type economic system, similar to contribution points and war achievements exchange. However, the specific trading currency is called contribution points.
Yulu has taken too many privileges from Rongyuan Shu and the clan leader over the years, but has not given any contribution points back to the clan, feeling quite ashamed.
"Don't worry about contributions between us. The contributions I've made for the family are countless, so sharing some with you is no problem."
"Furthermore, contributions, war achievements, and merits - these things that are kept on the surface in any place are meant to deceive the ordinary people."
The truly scarce things are always to be strived for by oneself, not to be waiting for others to exchange them.
Yulu, don't tell me you don't understand this."
Standing at the door of the quiet room, Wang Xianzhou was smiling and laughing in a strange way at Yulu.
Yulu of course understood the old ancestor's meaning. He stood up with a bitter smile, put away the refining furnace and red lantern, and said.
"Old Ancestor, why don't you take a look at the room I've prepared for you? Xu Ran has been busy all afternoon. Let's go."
"Are you really not going to learn the art of refining pills?"
"You haven't studied the art of refining magical artifacts either, have you?"
Opening the door to the bedroom, Yulu saw that the old ancestor looked somewhat puzzled, and continued.
"I have been learning refining magical artifacts for ten years. Is it really necessary to study refining pills for another ten years?"
Moreover, with Old Ancestor's presence now and other brothers, elders in the clan in the future, Yulu doesn't need to refine pills anymore."
Raising his hand to tap on Wang Yulou, Wang Xianzhou helplessly said.
"You little guy has extraordinary talent in refining spells, symbols, magical artifacts, and even refining pills are all interconnected. I'm sorry to waste your talents."
Thought for a moment, Yulu answered seriously, although he was serious just now, but now his seriousness with more sincerity.
"Old Ancestor, Yulou wants to spend more time on cultivation."
From childhood to adulthood, only in An Ning cave heaven and in the dripping water cave, Yulu had the feeling of embarking on the path of cultivation.
Great cultivators restrict the cultivation speed of condensed Qi cultivators, and compared to the disciples of many great families and sects, Yulu has fallen behind by too much.
Nowadays, Yulu can only rise early and sleep late, grasping every day's time and trying to catch up as much as possible."
One thousand years is too long, only strive for the present moment.
After striving for one moment after another, a thousand years also has the chance to become a real thing within reach.
Therefore, even if it means bearing the pain of corroded bones, Wang Yulou can still persevere in investigating meridians.
Cultivation, cultivation, in nearly four months, is the time when Wang Yulou truly embarked on the path of cultivation.
Looking at the serious Yulu, Wang Xianzhou was somewhat absent-minded, as if he saw his own past self.
At that time, he had just entered the practice of Qi, and he was also eager to use all his time for cultivation.
It can be said that every newly cultivating Qi practitioner has experienced such a period, often waking up when their cultivation resources are completely depleted.
Frenetic cultivation; as the cultivation level increased bit by bit with time passing, the spiritual Qi was like water, and he was like a sponge, absorbing as much as possible for unlimited growth.
originally, it has been over 140 years.
After regaining his composure, Wang Xianzhou smiled and rubbed Yulu's head, saying.
"Good, refining pills is actually very simple; it's just a matter of accumulating resources. Refining magical artifacts and refining pills have the effect of drawing analogies from similar things. You can study it after you have reached the foundation-cultivation stage."
Of course, by then, you may be able to master it in just two years, and there's no need for ten years."
Old Ancestor Xianzhou was tall and muscular, taller than Yulu by a significant margin. When he rubbed Yulu's head, it felt very natural and comfortable.
But Yulu was already a big child. He took a step back and bowed respectfully.
"Then, old ancestor, please rest. Yulu will continue to practice."
Gave Yulu a disapproving look for not letting him rub his head, Old Ancestor Xianzhou closed the door and walked in front, saying.
"Rest? What kind of rest is that? I've been led around by the nose by you."
Let's go, let's study and see what kind of pill you should use. Now that you have reached the level of condensing Qi, various powerful remedies can also be used.
"Haha, I'll let you experience the feeling of refining one's cultivations."
"You should rest, you've come such a long way."
"I'm just getting old, and I haven't died yet. Haven't you heard that after death, one will naturally rest."
Here it is, this is the resting pill, take one and sleep for an hour, which is equivalent to sleeping for six hours.
Back when I first started practicing condensing Qi, I didn't have any resting pills. You little rascal, aren't you trying to spend more time on cultivation?
"If you take it, you can practice for ten consecutive hours a day. Hahaha."
Looking at the large clay jar in his hand, there were a large number of resting pills inside, and Yulu felt a bit overjoyed.
Old Ancestor, are we going to start this 007 thing immediately?
Your efficiency, seems too fast!
"Is there a problem with this thing? I didn't see any resting pills in the Hall of Merit in Drip Water Cave."
Yulu is of course willing to have more time for cultivation, but he is worried about some hidden problems with the resting pills.
Foundation cultivators can use cultivation instead of sleep, and in the stage of practice Qi, practitioners can use spiritual Qi instead of food. However, they still need to sleep to replenish their essence and recover their state.
"Qing Rui Immortal God's family practitioners of condensed Qi also eat this pill. How could there be a problem? I still exchanged the formula for the pills with my comrades in the Alliance of Immortals."
As for the fact that there are no such pills in the Hall of Merit, it doesn't necessarily indicate a problem. Not only in Drip Water Cave, but many people in Red Beam Pavilion can't afford this resting pill either."
At this point, Wang Xianzhou remembered his past and felt a sense of nostalgia.
"Why are the descendants of Qing Rui Immortal God not practicing in their own cave heaven?"
Drip Water Cave is the cave heaven of Drip Water Immortal God. Qing Rui Immortal God, as a leader in the Alliance of Immortals ranked in the first row of the immortals, must also have a cave heaven."
Compared to sending the clan disciples outside for adventures, using the corresponding patterns in the cave heaven to eliminate and screen not isn't it safer?
"Exchanging types, that female cultivator liked me, but I was bewitched by another female cultivator at that time. Ah."
If I had been willing to be a son-in-law back then, I would definitely be doing better than that dog thing, Mu Chunze, now.
Yulu, female cultivators are all fierce beasts. If you want to achieve enlightenment, you must stay away from those beautiful female cultivators.
But let's forget about Xia Qin. This girl looks innocent, her cultivation level is also lower than yours, it's just right."
Suddenly talking about romantic history, it is clear that the old ancestor is springing, but it is just missing youth."
"Oh, the clan leader even asked me to find a female cultivator from a family of foundation cultivators in Drip Water Cave for an alliance."
Yulu thinks of this and headaches.
Troublesome, more troublesome than practicing cultivation.
"Child, you don't understand. Marriage is marriage, and keeping your distance from female cultivators is a matter of distance, it doesn't conflict."
Xia Qin is great, smart but not too smart, just right to keep you warm."
In the quiet room, Wang Xianzhou took out a large pill furnace from his storage ring, his expression grew serious.
"All right, these matters ultimately need to be considered by yourself. Now, I will refine the Qi pill for you."
Ordinary Qi refining pills increase the speed of practice by five days, which means practicing one day is equivalent to three days within five days.
However, if I give up the duration of the medicinal force of the pills, I can refine Qi pills that last only two days. During these two days, you can practice one day for four and a half days."
The charm of refining pills lies in this: with the same pill, by adjusting the ingredients and techniques, the effect can be different.
"Let's start with two bottles tonight, and I will gradually custom-make other auxiliary pill, pain-relieving pills, and other things for you."
The top-grade artifact furnace of the 36-layer taboo was as easy to manipulate as a toy in Wang Xianzhou's hands, sliding smoothly.
Watching Old Ancestor Xianzhou refine pills was like watching an artist create, almost shaking Yulu's resolve not to study the art of pill refining.
The old ancestor has not reached a high cultivation level, only at the peak of condensed Qi. However, for Wang Yulou, he is not inferior to the old grandpa in any ring.
Even more so, the old ancestor is much stronger than the old grandpa; he doesn't even need Wang Yulou to provide spirit stones for refining pills.
If Yulu insists on giving, he will still be hit on the head.
This is Yulu's protector, the clan leader specially selected for him.
At times, Yulu would feel lost. He had been in the cultivation world for many years, yet he had never encountered any danger, except for being scared once by Hongmei.
You mean Feituo Dragon?
Those three iron alligators are indeed stronger than the human-faced snakes, perhaps forty shots of the alligator water whip would destroy Yulu's spirit artifact belt, but can we say they are a threat?
Absolutely not!
Even if the alligator water whip shots were to hit, the four iron alligators would have already died from the impact, Yulu wouldn't need to run.
——
As the cultivator who guards the riverbend fishing village, Yulu's task is only one: to protect the safety of the fishing village.
But ordinary beasts can be dealt with by warriors and condensed Qi practitioners, ordinary beasts don't come every day, coming once every six months is already frequent——Shiushui Lake doesn't have so many fierce beasts either.
At the end of the day, the system of gratitude within Drip Water Cave is designed to extract every last drop of gratitude, and sustainable exploitation of gratitude is the fundamental principle.
It is necessary to have beasts, but not too many or too strong.
There is no sense of time in the mountains. Cultivation passes by very quickly, so quickly that one barely notices.
In just two months, Yulu silently cultivated, while Wang Xianzhou rode the crane "Old Three" and flew back and forth, mainly collecting medicinal materials. At the same time, he would try to pick up some wild spiritual materials from the village, making his days very leisurely and enjoyable.
However, when Cui Dingyi really built Golden Pavilion, Wang Xianzhou did come up with a new idea.
"We should indeed be low-key, but Yulu, the war between Red Light Pavilion and Tian She Sect is almost inevitable."
Whether or not Meng Xiangzong can become a golden pill is another matter, but it's inevitable that our Wang family will be affected by the war between Meng Xiangzong and Red Light Pavilion and Tian She Sect.
The clan leader sent you to Drip Water Cave and Yu An to Fu Long Observatory. On one hand, it's to cover up your cultivation problems. On the other hand, it's also to leave a backup plan."
In Drip Water Cave, you need to move upwards, and the riverbend fishing village is your foundation. This, you must definitely understand."
Yulu is offering incense to the divine statue of the immortal, while Wang Xianzhou is 'encouraging progress'.
My own little unicorn is great in every aspect except for being too cautious.
It's clear that he had Cui Dingyi build the Golden Pavilion, and he also likes the high platform.
But when the time came to the final step, he hesitated, afraid that being too loud might cause trouble.
Wang Xianzhou couldn't understand why Yulu Wang had anything to fear.
In this cave heaven, as long as Yulu doesn't break through to the foundation stage, Old Ancestor Xianzhou can protect him for twenty years.
According to Yulu's current cultivation speed, twenty years later, he might even be at the late stage of practice Qi. At that time, there's nothing to be afraid of.
The offspring of the great clan - King Wang's family of Anbei, the Meng Xiang lineage - their ancestor wants to become a golden pill, extraordinary talent - double spiritual roots quality, refined Dao profoundly - the inheritance of An Lina.
With such conditions, the foundation-cultivating sects in Drip Water Cave can choose from a variety of options, and it's not impossible to negotiate with the three sects of the Drip Water Cave Purple Mansion.
If willing to unite, it doesn't need to wait twenty years, it can become a partner of Zhuo or Lin or Yuan families immediately.
Yulu Wang's starting point determines that his life can never be ordinary. As long as he has the level of Wang Xianmeng or Wang Xianzhou, it's considered that he hasn't grown up well."
"But old ancestor, what if old Cui doesn't back down?"
Yulu is worried about this. The construction of the Golden Pavilion has gathered the hearts of the people almost completely, and old Cui's mission has also been completed.
Pity Yulu, who has been reborn twice in this world, is experiencing his first taste of using political maneuvering to harm others. He is both conflicted and twisted, completely devoid of the ease he once had.
The first-time beginner was like this.
Wang Xianzhou's old ancestor's eyes narrowed, filled with fierce light.
"He dare!"
Dye the red sparrow with blue fur, make it pretend to be a beast, and kill that scoundrel.
"Others can keep iron alligators, why can't we keep blue-winged giant eagles!"
All right, all right. The old ancestor indeed has a way.
Yulu may not fully agree with the old ancestor's dangerous method, but with the old ancestor there, what is there to be afraid of?
As a protector, although the old ancestor will not directly intervene, Yulu can only take action himself, but the old ancestor's presence serves as a source of confidence.
"Good, Chu Ran!"
"Ancestor Wang, old ancestor!"
"Go gather the people, the watergate is finished, the Golden Pavilion is almost completed, and we have practiced resisting evil spirits for so long."
"It's time to see whether it's a pawn or a horse, we should take them out to have a look, and see if they're willing to choose me!"
"Yes, Chu Ran will arrange for this right away!"
"People matters, that is power."
By making old Cui the leading man of engineering construction, organizing and coordinating the efforts of cultivators to practice resisting evil spirits, Yulu used the means of human affairs arrangement to gain real leadership power.
Now, it's time to test the size and quality of this power.
Cultivation relies on resources and the help of power. Even the most powerful individual cannot escape the cultivation system without the support of the Immortal Union.
Wang Xianmeng was right. The riverbend fishing village is the true starting point of Wang Yulu's cultivation path, not the family platform or the platform of Hónglànzhào through several shops and racing tracks in Qīngxīfáng.
The relationship between the riverbend fishing village and the Drip Water Cave is similar to that of a local area and the central authority.
The limit on the cost of governance restricts Yulu's limit on catching spiritual fish and spiritual stones, but it also gives him a clear activity space.
As long as the sect ensures that the riverbend fishing village system is maintained, with an average daily income of nine spiritual stones or so, the rest can be Wang's surname!
Of course, Yulu wouldn't eat alone.
After all, as a leader, even a small fishing village, the leader of the smallest cultivation force unit, he has the power to distribute favors within a limited area.
