Chapter 194 Yulan’s choice, the new Jin Dan Zhenren
It is the second day of July, year 5702 of the Nine Solar Calendar, and the weather is sunny.
The calendar in Shangyang City is chaotic, and each family has its own set of algorithms, so Yu Xian has always used his own age as the time node to record.
Counting from the original starting point, he traveled to this point when he was twenty-seven years old.
After three years of hard training, he made no progress in his cultivation. At the age of thirty, he decided to go to the mortal world and cross the country to retire, and thus opened a plug-in for time travellers.
At the age of thirty-eight, he returned to the world of immortality and worked as a bastard in Shangyang City for two years.
At the age of forty, he was invited by Patriarch Zhao to serve as a guest of the Zhao family and to sit in the Zhao family's land.
At the age of forty-two, a beast tide broke out in Yangcheng, and Patriarch Zhao was seriously injured, causing the Zhao family to be at odds with him, forcing his hands to be stained with the souls of the Zhao family.
At the age of fifty-one, he went to Shangyang City to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, but passed by Chen Yi.
At the age of fifty-three, he met Chen Yi again. In the same year, Yulan completed the foundation construction and returned to Shangyang City again.
At the age of fifty-four, he accepted Luo Han as a Taoist companion. Two years later, he peacefully broke up with Chen Yi.
At the age of sixty-one, Shangyang City encountered another beast wave. He used the blood sacrifice formation recorded in the Blood Demon Transformation Technique to refine the blood puppet and the blood demon sword, and his skills improved greatly.
The next year, Chen Yi and Chen Xiao left, and the family became the only one in Shangyang City.
At the age of sixty-six, he broke through the golden elixir realm.
Now seventy years old, he has a fake alchemy monk, two demon kings, and a third-level blood puppet. He is very wealthy and powerful and can be the overlord of the place.
Then correspond to the nine solar calendars one by one, and the timeline becomes clear.
After having the concept of time, Yu Xian found that he began to slowly integrate into the world, and he also had an inexplicable sense of belonging in his heart.
According to Wanshou Zhenren, the entire Jiuyang Territory is vast, spanning millions of miles, which is almost equivalent to the surface area of the planet he lived on in his previous life.
And the Jiuyang Domain is only a part of the entire world.
Outside of the Jiuyang Domain, there are many large and small domains.
Without exception, every territory with domain as the suffix has one or more god-transforming lords sitting in charge.
Although Wanshou Zhenren's family is in decline, he comes from a serious and famous family, and his vision is completely different from that of Shangyangcheng, the country bumpkins who claim to be from aristocratic families.
Yu Xian is like a sponge, squeezing out the knowledge and inheritance of Zhenren Wanshou.
The name of the person he caught and plucked before Wanshou Zhenren was Chen Xiao. Unfortunately, Chen Xiao was too weak and his brain was full of muscles, so he couldn't squeeze much out of it.
But Chen Yi, her level is definitely worthy of the name of genius.
But in front of her, if Yu Xian really didn't want to expose his ignorance, he would really be a coward.
After all, he still wanted to take down Chen Yi.
The kind you ride on.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a year since Yu Xian returned from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.
…
Fu area, mansion No. 3.
Banquet room.
Yu Xian waved his hand, and a group of charming dancers dressed in cool and breathable clothes bowed and left, leaving only the fragrant wind on the floor, mixed with the aroma of fruit wine in the hall, making people daydream.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, don't the singing and dancing look good?"
Yu Xian was lying on his back with his legs on the table, his posture was quite casual.
On the table, a small blood-colored metal sword was stuck upside down on the table. On the tip of the sword was a dark red banner embroidered with many animal-shaped patterns, which was fluttering in the wind.
At this time, a small figure floated out from the soul flag, it was the real person Wan Beast.
"Yu Xian, you are acting like this, when will you be able to avenge me? A hundred years have just passed by in a blink of an eye. You have a great talent. In the future, you will compete with the genius of the Immortal Sect. How can you indulge in wine and sex?"
Wan Beast Zhenren looked distressed and distraught.
At first, Yu Xian humbly asked him for advice, and he was quite pleased. He felt that this guy could handle it, and his hope of revenge for him increased.
As a result, within two months, Master Wan Beast discovered that he was wrong.
Yu Xian is not an ascetic monk. He is obviously addicted to wine and sex, and he is very addicted to it. Almost all women are unhappy with him.
As for practicing, just practice.
Except for wasting the spiritual flowers and grasses brought back from the Demon Bee Forest, euphemistically called honing alchemy skills, at other times, I would rather stare at the sky in a daze than stop and practice for a while.
Of course, women are absolutely indispensable.
Seeing Yu Xian wasting his talent so much, he couldn't help but feel anxious about it.
However, Yu Xian shook his head and said: "Drinking and sex are the desires of the human heart. If I follow my inner desires, I am following human desires and following the way of heaven.
There are so many avenues, and no one can say for sure whether I am right or not. "
"If fellow Taoists could recognize their inner desires like me, maybe we wouldn't have encountered the catastrophe in the first place."
"Furthermore, the spiritual energy here is thin. If I practice hard for a day, I might as well spend a day enjoying myself. How can I say I am wasting my time."
"Fellow Taoist, why don't you come with me to listen to music and dance, and be a layman?"
Master Wan Beast almost laughed out of breath.
"Since the spiritual energy here is thin, you might as well go back to Demon Bee Forest to practice, or go to Xuanyang Realm, where there are fourth-level spiritual veins.
With your age and cultivation level, even if you become a member of the Xuanyang Sect, you can still become an elder of the guest family. It is not without hope that you can accumulate meritorious service and be promoted to the inner sect in the future. "
Yu Xian was very clear-headed and said: "Entering the sect and being restrained is not what I asked for, and what I practice is demonic skills, so I won't be able to get on the stage after all.
Even if you join the Xuanyang Sect, you will still be a chamber pot. It is wishful thinking to still want to break into the palace. "
"This won't work, that won't work either. What do you want? Or are you not planning to avenge me at all?"
The figures of Wanshou Zhenren began to scatter.
"I'll give you everything you want, you can't break your promise!"
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Yang, please don't slander me. You gave it to me voluntarily, making it seem like I took it by force."
Yu Xian quickly corrected him.
"One hundred years, even if it is considered the time of Demon Bee Forest, has only passed for more than a year, so there is no need to be anxious."
"Ah."
Master Wan Beast sneered.
With Yu Xian's attitude, he wouldn't be able to take revenge for another hundred years.
Now he is like a trapped leek. He wants to cut his flesh but is reluctant to do so. If he doesn't, he will be tortured day and night.
The environment in the Ten Thousand Beast Soul Banner is not something humans can tolerate.
Even if he tries not to refine the beast soul in it, every day, the blood and evil energy in the soul flag will infect his body.
Since refining millions of demon bees in the demon bee forest, he obviously feels that his temper has become even more grumpy.
A hundred years is just the most conservative estimate.
Once Yu Xian uses the Ten Thousand Beast Soul Banner to fight with others, he will inevitably go into battle as the main soul. By then, he will be even more contaminated.
Seeing that Master Wan Beasts refused to accept this trick and had an attitude of 'Believe it or not, I will commit suicide right now for you to see', Yu Xian quickly comforted him:
"Well, facts speak louder than words, let's make a bet."
"What bet?"
"Aren't you saying that I don't want to make progress and am addicted to drinking and sex? Then let's bet on whether I can break through the middle stage of Jindan within twenty years.
If you can, you can lose two third-level demon pills to me.
If you can't, you can be liberated as soon as possible. Even if you commit suicide, I will send your soul back to heaven and earth and will never prevent you from reincarnation. "
Yu Xian is very serious about free whoring.
Anyway, no matter he wins or loses, he will not suffer any loss.
Master Wan Beast is not so easily fooled. His only reliance now is the legacy in the Soul Banner of Wan Beast.
Without these treasures by his side, Yu Xian could kill him in a matter of seconds and completely control the beast soul flags.
However, if Yu Xian could really break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core within twenty years, it would not be unacceptable to him.
"Okay, I'll take a bet. How are you going to practice? Completely devote yourself to the blood demon path?"
This is the only possibility that Wan Beast Zhenren can think of.
However, the reason why he could endure Yu Xian's absurdity and lack of progress was that the time was short, and the other most important reason was that Yu Xian did not practice with others.
Although he himself once practiced Taiyin Blood Demon Transformation Technique, he did not agree with the theory of Blood Demon Dao.
People are people, their own kind and not blood food.
If Yu Xian really transformed into a demon, he would actively self-destruct.
However, Yu Xian said disdainfully: "The Blood Demon Path is a small path, how could I be addicted to it? What I cultivate is the righteous path of heaven and earth.
As for how to practice, you will have to wait and see. "
Master Wan Beast could not help but fall into a long silence.
Even if the inheritance of the Blood Demon Path is notorious, it can still endure in the Demon Path for a long time. Even many giants of the Demon Path are from the Blood Demon Path and are famous for being difficult to deal with and fierce.
Could this be a trail?
On the contrary, sex and wine are the avenue in Yu Xian's eyes?
What kind of fallacy is this?
But if you think about it carefully, compared to cannibalism and practicing martial arts, indulging in wine and sex is not unacceptable.
The premise is that we can really break through the middle stage of Jindan within twenty years.
Zhenren Wanshou stopped persuading him and sank into the soul flag.
In the final analysis, he is just a soul slave, not Yu Xian's teacher. Allowing him to be verbose on the side is already Yu Xian's kindness to him.
…
Another month.
He was still playing music every night in his spare time. Outside, the Jiang and Wu families ruled Shangyang City as their arms, and the Taxation Department acted as an intelligence organization to monitor him at all times. His life was very leisurely.
Master Wan Beast, on the other hand, no longer chattered, but hid in the soul flag and observed secretly, as if he really wanted to understand something from Yu Xian's daily life.
It is also worth mentioning that Yulan is back and she refuses to go out to hunt down those foundation-building monks again.
Facing the monks who were risking their lives to protect their tribe and escape, the radiance of humanity in them made her really unable to think of any reason for her to persist.
This goes against her nature.
After all, she is not the decisive Chen Yi, nor is she Zhao Shiwen who will do anything to climb up.
She is just a little woman who just wants to live a quiet life under the wings of her husband's family.
Back then she could fight alongside the Yuezhen Sect.
That's because we share the same hatred and there is nothing to pity for those guys who have insulted women.
But this time it's different.
She knew this was just a game, a game just for her.
She thought she could hold on.
Even if it's for the expectation in my husband's eyes.
But when she saw a mother holding a child, kneeling in front of her, she was willing to give everything just for the chance of survival of the child in her arms.
When she saw the ugly faces of the monks she was chasing, the teasing and torture of those they were chasing was the most disgusting thing in the world.
She felt that many people were innocent and were just implicated.
She was about to collapse.
So she came back, tired, and stood in front of Yu Xian, the light in her eyes was extremely dim.
"Mr., I'm so tired."
Yu Xian looked very distressed and felt that he had done something stupid, but at this time he could only smile and open his hands to her and take her into his arms.
"Then don't do it."
"sorry."
Yu Lan shed tears in Yu Xian's arms. She felt that she was terrible.
Yu Xian comforted her softly: "We don't need to say these words between us. It's up to me to say I'm sorry.
They always take things for granted and arrange your life without asking about your happiness, likes and dislikes.
But never again. "
He thought he was replicating the experience of the Yuezhen Sect back then, but he never thought about the pressure that Yu Lan would bear as the person in charge.
Moreover, facing a dozen foundation-building monks and their families, the situation was ten times more complicated than that of the Yuezhen Sect.
With Yulan's character, it is incredible that she can persist until now.
He was thankful that Yulan could explain everything to him in time instead of having to bear it alone.
Otherwise, by the time he reacts, Yulan may have already changed into a different person.
Yulan heard that Yu Xian didn't blame her at all, but said sorry to her, and her nervousness and uneasiness suddenly disappeared.
She was quietly buried in Yu Xian's arms and fell asleep quietly without realizing it.
Yu Xian looked at Yulan's peaceful sleeping state and sighed quietly.
Cultivation requires courage and diligence, walking on thin ice. How can we forge a Taoist heart as pure as gold and jade without being forged by fire.
After all, not everyone can cheat like him.
But when he thought that even he couldn't do these things, how could he force Magnolia, who was as weak as a flower, to do it.
"I just want you to stay with me for a little longer, but I want to see you happy even more. This will make me feel like I'm still a human being."
Yu Xian gently smoothed the knot between Yulan's eyebrows and said secretly:
"I entered Taoism because of you. Even if you enter reincarnation in the future, I will definitely look for you to come back after I become an immortal."
With this thought firmly in mind, I felt that the sea and sky were vast, and an obsession immediately disappeared from my mind.
That's right, if you can't succeed in one life, you will seek the second and third lives.
Since immortality and immortality are available, how can there be no reincarnation in the underworld? With reincarnation, there are past and present lives.
…
Wu Mansion, Alchemy Room.
Patriarch Wu sat down in fear, only daring to touch the lower half of his buttocks.
There was no room for him to be careless.
Just the day before yesterday, he heard the news that most of the monks who followed Miss Yulan died unexpectedly.
How could he, who had been following Yu Lan, not know that these dead monks had unclean hands and feet.
Especially those who had contradicted Yulan face to face died miserably.
He knew that the steward had been very angry recently.
In this case, he, as the protector, would naturally bear the brunt, and he would also have to take the blame.
"Don't be so afraid. I don't eat people. I came to you because I have something for you to do."
Yu Xian smiled lightly, making it difficult to see his happiness and anger.
Patriarch Wu respectfully replied: "As a person in charge of your lord, my subordinates must work hard to complete the task."
"Here are the materials for the Five Elements Yuan Dan. You can refine another one. Is that okay?"
Yu Xian dropped a storage bag.
Patriarch Wu did not dare to answer immediately.
The materials for the Five Elements Yuan Dan are not easy to assemble.
His Wu family had an unexpected encounter and received what he thought was the inheritance of Jin Dan Zhenren. After three hundred years of accumulation, and with the help of his position, he risked his life to scrape together a batch of materials.
Even if the manager is incredibly powerful, this is only a short amount of time.
Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about Master Jindan’s golden elixir or the demon king’s third-level demon elixir. How can it be done casually?
So he couldn't agree easily. If the general manager relied on him, he wouldn't have the Five Elements Yuan Dan to compensate the general manager.
Even if his fake elixir is dug out, it won't work.
But when he looked into the storage bag with his consciousness, he saw densely packed alchemy materials, and at that moment, the dark golden third-level demon elixir, which caught the eye like a pearl.
"This this……"
Patriarch Wu was almost speechless, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief:
"Third level demon pill?!"
Yu Xian said with a low-key smile: "I went to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains a few days ago. I was just strolling around, but I ended up picking up a demon pill. Is there any problem?"
How could Patriarch Wu believe the nonsense about picking up a demon pill?
Although it is true that some demon kings will find a secret place to rest when their longevity is reached, and then due to changes in the terrain or the natural formation is broken, the resting place will be revealed to the world.
But the third-level demon elixir is also a rare tonic for demonic beasts. Once it appears, it will already cause competition, so how can it wait for a human monk to pick it up.
But looking at the demon pill, the energy and blood on it are all gone. It's quite old, and it doesn't look like a killing pill. Could it be that you really picked it up?
Damn it, the Wu family members have risked their lives so many times in order to collect medicine in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, why don't they have such good luck?
"No, no problem."
Patriarch Wu said with emotion.
"Now that the manager has prepared the materials, I am 80% sure about this furnace of elixir."
Don't talk too much, otherwise if you encounter any accident, there will be no room for salvation.
Yu Xian said: "Eighty percent is rounded up to ten percent. I will wait for the good news from fellow Daoist Wu."
After that, he stood up and left.
Before Patriarch Wu could react, by the time he figured out the relationship between 80% and 100%, Yu Xian had disappeared.
“It’s possible now that it’s not possible.”
He sighed, took out the third-level demon pill with all its brilliance, and studied it carefully.
The success of the previous Five Elements Yuan Dan is also related to the long-term research of the Wu family's successive leaders. After all, it is the only chance, so Rong has to be cautious.
Now that the golden elixir has been replaced by the demon elixir, it is still quite unfamiliar. Even though he has become a heretic golden elixir, the task is still arduous.
…
Time flies and it is already half a year later.
Faced with the compulsory task imposed by the General Manager, Wu Laozu did not dare to muddle through the task. He studied it carefully before starting to refine the elixir.
Now is the day when the elixir is completed.
Yu Xian took Yu Lan, who was recovering well, to stand aside and whispered information about the Five Elements Yuan Dan into her ear.
Magnolia's ears were itchy from the hot breath exhaled by Yu Xian, and she snuggled into his arms, smiling softly.
In the past six months, they had almost returned to the time when they first came to Shangyang City, with only her and her husband.
Sister Xiao Yi has left long ago, and sister Luo Han has not returned from the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains. She almost monopolizes my husband, and it is packed every day.
"Master Manager, the elixir is ready."
Patriarch Wu looked a little tired. He had been nervous almost the whole time for the past six months, fearing that something would go wrong.
Fortunately, the results are good.
The top cover of the alchemy furnace was opened, and one Yuan Dan was mainly golden, with the other four slightly lighter colors rising slowly, emitting bursts of colorful light.
"The original Demon King of this Demon Pill should be the Demon King of the Metal Element, so the refined Five Elements Yuan Pill is best swallowed by monks who practice metallic skills."
Patriarch Wu introduced.
The demon clan cultivates and develops bloodline, aiming at the true spirit, so the racial characteristics are particularly obvious. Unlike the orthodox human monks, the five elements are generally complete, and even if they are biased, they will not occupy too much.
"It doesn't matter, it's good if you eat some. I don't dare to ask for too much."
An old man full of lifeless energy stood in front of the alchemy furnace, looking at the Five Elements Yuan Dan suspended in the air with obsession, holding it with both hands almost piously.
This person's name is Wan Tianqiu, and he is the hidden ancestor of the Wan family. He is more than 190 years old and is approaching the limit of a foundation-building monk.
You must know that ordinary monks will have various hidden injuries in the process of cultivation, and it will be enough to live to 150 or 60 years old.
Anyone who actually lives to the theoretical age of 200 is a real longevity star.
If it weren't for the temptation of the Five Elements Yuan Dan, none of the Wan family would have dared to reveal the existence of this ancestor. After all, he was too old and would die if he took action almost once.
Originally, Yu Xian looked for Jiang Wang first.
After all, he was young, and he could be given a few more years of work after he broke through the heretic golden elixir. However, Jiang Wang was a dreamer. He wanted to break through the golden elixir on his own, and did not want his life to be manipulated. After much hesitation, he refused.
On the contrary, the ancestor of the Wan family quietly broke through to the late stage of foundation building.
After he came to the door, Wan Laozu actually gave this hard-won opportunity to his ancestor Wan Tianqiu, who was also his ancestor.
It can only be said that family cultivation of immortality does have merits. The sense of family honor can even be better than one's own future.
Wan Tianqiu stared at the Five Elements Yuan Dan and suddenly took a deep breath.
His white hair suddenly turned black, his stooped body became as big as the flatulence, and a burst of vitality emanated from his body, which was exactly what he had done to fight for his life.
He was able to live for such a long time only because of a chance encounter when he was young and he learned a method of withering Qi and blood.
On weekdays, it can compress the qi and blood of the whole body to an extremely weak level and preserve its own vitality as much as possible. Therefore, its lifespan is extremely long, but it will also cause drowsiness.
He lives a long time, but he also sleeps a long time. The time he spends awake is not much more than those who normally live a hundred, fifty or sixty years.
At this moment, he will burst out all his energy and blood. Once he fails to break through, he will immediately die of exhaustion of energy and blood.
But with the opportunity for a breakthrough in front of him, how could he be allowed to hesitate.
Wan Tianqiu swallowed the Five Elements Yuan Dan, and the powerful momentum immediately caused thunder and disaster.
boom!
Black clouds suddenly arrived in the sky, thunder rolled, and the momentum contained in them caused the whole city to boil.
"It's another golden elixir thunder disaster!"
"Huh? Why should I say another word?"
"What the hell, the most irritating thing is that the place to escape the tribulation is the Wu Mansion! Patriarch Wu actually mastered the method of breaking through the golden elixir?"
"Could it be that due to Shangyang City's luck, Jindan Daoist people can appear one after another?"
"Alas, another amount of blood has to be paid. I haven't been able to catch my breath yet from the golden elixir gift I gave to Patriarch Wu last time."
"If I can also become a golden elixir..."
A crowd of people followed the thunderous calamity and gathered around the Wu Mansion, looking at Jie Yun's eyes filled with envy, jealousy, longing, or emotion.
Jiang Wang stood in the crowd, and when he saw Lei Jie falling, he suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart.
Maybe I should agree to the steward.
Heretic golden elixirs are also golden elixirs!
But soon, he got rid of this regret. What he wanted was the true golden elixir realm, and he did not want to be controlled by others.
What's the point of breaking through the golden elixir if you can't gain freedom?
Jiang Wang turned around resolutely and decided to leave the world of immortal cultivation in Shangyang City, cross the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, and go to Xuanyang Realm to seek opportunities for golden elixirs.
Different people made the same choice.
Lin Zhanlong was like this back then, and so is Jiang Wang today.
