Chapter 272: Alone
Over the next two days, Li Li Youyi and Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying became good friends who talked about everything.
Through this relationship, Li Li Youyi successfully borrowed the alchemy room of the Brother Zuoqiu Sect.
Refining a high-grade magic elixir like the Star Day Elixir had extremely high requirements for the alchemy furnace and the flames.
Hidden Two was a pragmatic person and handled things very efficiently; the next day, he sent people to deliver thirty drops of Extreme Day Light Dew to Taoli Mountain. With the materials ready, Chan Hai Guan Wu did not want to delay for even a moment.
If it weren't for the promise to help Li Li Youyi refine the elixir, she would have already gone to the prefecture.
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying looked at Li Ling, who walked into the alchemy room and closed the door behind her, very surprised: "Li Ling can already refine elixirs?"
"Her? She has a big appetite but little skill; she's just a Great Thought Master of the Disaster Fire Realm; she simply can't refine magic elixirs."
Li Li Youyi changed the subject and asked: "Sister Brother Zuoqiu Qingying is already a Spirit Thought Master, right?"
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying revealed a proud look, but smiled modestly: "Just entered the level of a Spirit Thought Master."
"A one-star Spirit Thought Master?" Li Li Youyi said.
A Disaster Fire Realm Great Thought Master, after experiencing the "Nine Refinements of Disaster Fire," must condense a thought-power star to be considered to have stepped into the Spirit Thought Master level.
The grading of Spirit Thought Masters is from one star to nine stars.
In terms of combat power, they each have their own merits compared to Dao Seed Realm experts on the martial path.
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying nodded and sighed: "Li Youyi, the path of thought-power cultivation is not easy to walk; it is much more difficult than the martial path, and the cost is also extremely huge. Fragments of the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone are a shortcut, but they are too expensive. My father went to talk to Elder Qi, but that old guy is extremely stubborn and gives no one face."
"However, there is a path that can be tried."
Li Li Youyi revealed a look of joy and hurriedly asked what method there was.
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying said: "You can join the Secret Realm Division! Members of the Secret Realm Division, because they walk in extremely dangerous places all year round, only need to pay sixty percent of the price to purchase resources in the clan. In addition, they can also use merit points to pay instead of Gushing Spring coins."
Li Li Youyi made a bitter face: "Sixty percent of the price is still 1.2 million Gushing Spring coins; I still can't afford it."
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying laughed: "Are you stupid? You don't have merit points, but my father has been in the Secret Realm Division for thirty years; he has quite a few merit points."
"This... I cannot accept rewards without merit!" Li Li Youyi fell silent.
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying said: "At the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival, if it weren't for you fighting desperately to help, the Brother Zuoqiu Sect wouldn't have won! I heard that the first batch of resources supported by the Due Temple for the Brother Zuoqiu Sect has already been sent to Taoli Mountain. This includes three Longevity Elixirs every year... You must know that in the past thousand years, the Lingxiao Palace only had ten every sixty years."
In the era where Chan Hai Guan Wu was, the Due Temple took out ten Longevity Elixirs every year to help her fight for the world. But at that time, the Lingxiao Life Realm was a land of three hundred prefectures, and the number of martial cultivators was far greater than in this era, and the situation was more complex.
Li Li Youyi was shocked by this: "Doesn't that mean Uncle Thirteen will soon break through to Longevity?"
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying shook her head gently, but could not hide the joy in her eyes: "Not that fast; my father only reached the ninth layer of the Dao Seed Realm not long ago, and still needs to accumulate for a period of time. But becoming a Longevity Realm giant is only a matter of time. So, those merit points of his, leaving them is just leaving them; it's better to take them out to help you. Don't have any psychological burden; it's all owed to you by the Brother Zuoqiu Sect."
Li Li Youyi laughed: "If I decline again, it will make me look pretentious... Well, thank you, Sister Brother Zuoqiu Qingying, thank you, Uncle Thirteen."
"However, to join the Secret Realm Division, you still have to go through the motions first; at least you have to go to a secret realm to perform a mission once." Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying said.
Li Li Youyi said: "This is natural, but I still have to wait a bit longer. I want to try Fengfu Seed Dao; it won't be too late to perform a secret realm mission after becoming a Dao Seed Realm martial cultivator."
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying smiled sweetly, her charm infinite: "No rush, cultivate well yourself; if you encounter anything, you can come to me; treat the Brother Zuoqiu Sect as your own home."
Chan Hai Guan Wu spent five days to refine the Star Day Elixir, a total of twenty-nine pills.
The finished product rate was astonishingly high.
Li Li Youyi asked: "How long until you leave?"
"Leaving tonight." Chan Hai Guan Wu said.
Li Li Youyi said: "So urgent? Since the relationship is so significant, why not tell the Brother Zuoqiu Sect directly and let them think of a way?"
"We can all understand some things; those old guys cannot be completely ignorant. Don't underestimate the transcendent of the current world; each one can live for a thousand years, and none are simple."
Chan Hai Guan Wu's beautiful eyes were filled with smoke, and she said again: "I am going because I have a reason that I must go. Those three old guys are going with me; Li Chief Yuan Zhe's Nine Emperor Banner has great use."
Li Chief Yuan Zhe, that is Master Coffin, and also the leader of the Nine Li Clan a thousand years ago.
Chan Hai Guan Wu, Li Ling, Master Coffin, Master Jar, and Master Master Master Lingwei left together overnight.
Li Li Youyi did not go with them; he knew very well what he should do and what he should not do at the moment.
What should be done at the moment.
Is to go into seclusion and settle down, striving to complete the Nine Refinements of Disaster Fire as soon as possible, and impact the Spirit Thought Master level. If one can really activate the time power of the Dao Ancestor Wu Taiji Fish, the cultivation speed will be completely different.
At the same time, he must continue to temper his Qi and cultivate the Sixth Sea.
When Master Coffin left, he used the spatial power of the Nine Emperor Banner to strike the Dao Fruit into Li Li Youyi's Fengfu, expanding the Fengfu to twenty thousand square units. Adding ten thousand square units of magic Qi, it would take at least two months to temper.
Where the limit of the Fengfu is, is still unknown; it is far from being cultivated to perfection.
Li Li Youyi returned to the blood mud space; the entire world was quiet, and there was an unprecedented sense of loneliness.
Chan Hai Guan Wu was not on the jade boat, and there was no Master Jar's nagging underground.
Master Coffin's coffin, Master Master Master Lingwei's spirit tablet, and the Gushing Spring coins in the five boxes... were all gone!
"Why do I have a feeling that I've been robbed by her? This Mist Heavenly Son isn't cheating me into marriage, is she?"
Li Li Youyi sighed long, flew down onto the jade boat, and prepared to cultivate alone, but found more than a dozen sparkling ice crystals placed on the boat.
Inside the ice crystals were five dragon bones and seven dragon seeds.
"This..."
Li Li Youyi could not believe his eyes, and hurriedly took out the four dragon bones, two dragon seeds, and one Longevity Elixir he originally had from his boundary bag.
"Alright, I misunderstood her! She actually likes to give people surprises... She must have also collected the Longevity Elixir; this is because she knew I had one, so she didn't leave one for me?"
Li Li Youyi took out seven of the dragon bones and gave them to the seven little ones.
The seven little guys had helped him countless times; if it weren't for their help in many fierce battles, the consequences might have been completely different.
Now, they were nine inches long, and their combat power was comparable to some Dao Seed Realm first-layer martial cultivators.
Of course, they were also Dao Seed Realm first-layer, but the combat power gap was very huge.
Even without counting figures of the successor level, a Dao Seed Realm first-layer martial cultivator like Wang Zhi could only be considered medium.
First, they had not cultivated Dao Arts.
Second, they were not pure immortal bodies.
Third, the battle weapon was only a first-grade hundred-character magic tool.
If the seven little ones could increase their strength with a dragon bone, then the combat power of each one would absolutely be able to stand at the peak of the Dao Seed Realm first-layer. It was not impossible to challenge second-layer experts.
Li Li Youyi sat cross-legged on the jade boat; there were still twenty-one Star Day Elixirs in the elixir bottle.
The remaining eight were taken away by Li Ling.
"Old Li must pay! Otherwise, his daughter becoming a Spirit Thought Master before the age of twenty, wouldn't that make him laugh his face off?"
Li Li Youyi held a Star Day Elixir between two fingers; the light was extremely piercing, and he wanted to see the elixir text on it, but he couldn't open his eyes at all.
He swallowed it in one gulp!
Entering his abdomen, a warm force spread to every flesh and pore of his entire body.
The whole person was lit up, the divine brilliance was dazzling, and the rosy light filled the entire blood mud space.
The Fuso Divine Tree Meditation Method was performed, imagining himself as those two towering Fuso trees, transporting the rosy light emitted by the elixir in his body into the Spirit Realm, strand by strand, repeatedly tempering it to achieve the transformation of the spirit light.
The first refinement of Disaster Fire took a full three days.
Over the next three months, Li Li Youyi waited for news from Chan Hai Guan Wu while cultivating in seclusion.
Disaster Fire Nine Refinements, tempering magic Qi, cultivating the Twelve Scattered Hands of the Chan Sect, and researching methods for condensing Dao Seeds.
Martial path and thought-power went hand in hand.
With the help of nine Star Day Elixirs, the "Nine Refinements of Disaster Fire," which other Disaster Fire Realm Great Thought Masters needed several years, or even decades, to complete, he did in three months.
In the Spirit Realm between his eyebrows, the spirit light was bright to the extreme, almost liquefying.
But he tried many times and could not condense a thought-power star.
"Spirit Thought Master is truly difficult to cultivate; every step requires a large amount of time to accumulate and repeatedly condense. I wonder if Hidden Two has any news about the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone fragments and three-thousand-year-old essence medicine?"
Thinking of this, Li Li Youyi put the seven little ones into the insect bag, walked out of the cave, and went down the mountain.
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying learned the news of Li Li Youyi coming out of seclusion and caught up to him at the mountain gate: "Li Youyi, I heard that someone is high-profile purchasing Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone fragments in Qiuzhou Prefecture City in your name?"
Li Li Youyi laughed: "It's the Nine Li Hidden Sect helping me find them; one always has to think of more ways. Hey, Sister Brother Zuoqiu Qingying, do you have any missions to go to the secret realm recently? I have time now!"
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying's eyes lit up, and then she laughed: "At the moment, almost all the people in the Secret Realm Division have gone underground in the prefecture. There are indeed a few missions that are not so dangerous, and the two of us can go together."
"Then how long until we can go?" Li Li Youyi asked.
Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying said: "If you are in a hurry, we can set off together tomorrow after I help you handle the matters of joining the Secret Realm Division."
"That's really great! I'll go and greet the people of the Nine Li Hidden Sect first, and we'll set off tomorrow." Li Li Youyi expressed his gratitude to her again.
Watching Li Li Youyi leave in high spirits, the smile on Brother Zuoqiu Brother Zuoqiu Qingying's face faded, and she turned and headed toward the Council Hall on the fourth heaven.
Li Li Youyi and Hidden Two sat in a noodle shop by the bridge, each ordering a bowl of noodle soup.
"There is news about the Spirit Platform Flame Star Stone; Snow Sword Tang Ting secretly contacted my subordinates a few days ago, saying they have them in their hands. However, they must talk to you in person; I'm afraid there's a trap, so I didn't rashly agree. The existence of seven exotic insects makes many people covet you." Hidden Two said.
Li Li Youyi added some vinegar to his bowl and laughed: "Who says it isn't? I was originally innocent, but the possession of jade is a crime. Hmm! Tang Tang Wanqiu is still quite reliable; Snow Sword Tang Ting... I think it won't be too bad, let's meet!"
"Also, notify Hidden Five for me, meet outside the North City Gate tomorrow at noon, and travel far with me."
