Two years later.

Yan State, Youzhou.

Yongtai Fang City is just a small and medium-sized city, located on a second-level middle-grade spiritual vein.

It is neither backed by a certain monster mountain range nor close to any large fairy city. It has no advantages in terms of geographical location.

But it happens to be at the intersection center of several second-order resource points, and several second-order resource points are occupied by foundation-building-level forces.

It was jointly established for the purpose of mutual exchange between several forces.

However, it is almost impossible to develop further.

After two years of fermentation, the turmoil in Yan and Nanyu finally swept into Yongtaifang City.

There was a big battle four days ago, which caused the flag to be changed here.

At this time, there is a cave with the strongest spiritual energy in Yongtaifang City, in the practice room.

A young man wearing a black robe with an ordinary face was sitting cross-legged on a futon doing exercises.

Big beads of sweat kept appearing on his face, rolling down and soaking his clothes.

It seems that luck has reached a critical moment.

This person is none other than Liu Yu!

He was frowning at this time, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was pinching the magic tricks quickly and urgently.

This situation has lasted for two hours.

Time passed slowly, and after another half an hour, the speed of Liu Yu's movements slowed down and gradually stopped.

Finally, he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dark pupils!

Two dazzling rays of light came out from his eyes, and it took a while before they slowly dissipated.

This is a phenomenon that occurs when spiritual consciousness, or spiritual power, grows too fast and cannot be perfectly controlled.

Ten miles range, the pinnacle of foundation building!

Feeling the power of his spiritual consciousness at this time, Liu Yu was in a good mood, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Two years have passed, and with the help of Chi Yuan Dan, my cultivation has maintained a momentum of rapid progress.

But there is still some heat left before the fifth magic fire refining.

But in terms of spiritual consciousness, he took a step forward in cultivation and reached the peak level of ordinary monks' foundation building.

There is a saying in Buddhism that the mortal world is like a sea of ​​suffering.

The body is the boat on the sea of ​​suffering, and the soul and spirit are the passengers on the boat. They need to use the boat to cross the sea of ​​suffering and go to the "other shore".

But if the soul is strong enough, it can get rid of the shackles of the boat and walk freely in the sea of ​​suffering in the world of mortals.

There are also descriptions of this aspect in many Taoist classics, but the metaphors are different.

Divine consciousness is the external manifestation of the power of the soul. Liu Yu attaches no less importance to spiritual consciousness than improving his cultivation level.

The so-called "refining essence to transform into qi, refining qi to transform into spirit".

He had a vague feeling that perhaps the soul was a key point in the cultivation of the middle realm.

…

After taking a short rest, Liu Yu continued to use his spiritual consciousness to perform various techniques and secret techniques according to the content of "The Mystical Method of Preserving the Divine".

Soon, he took control of the skyrocketing consciousness, and the divine light in his eyes completely subsided.

Looking at his clothes that were wet with sweat, Liu Yu shook his head slightly, got up and walked outside the practice room.

Two years have passed, but his appearance has not changed at all, and time seems to have left no trace.

It's just the corners of the eyebrows and eyes that add a bit of a sense of weather and vicissitudes.

"Son."

"The water is ready, you can take a bath at any time."

Yingge sang, Yanwu saluted, and the last person said softly.

In the past two years, the two women also learned some of Liu Yu's habits.

For example, after practicing, you basically need to take a shower and change clothes. For example, when reading classics, you like to drink spiritual tea.

And I don’t like drinking cold tea, I want lukewarm tea.

So while the master was practicing, the two maids could only wait outside the practice room.

After the master finishes practicing, one woman is responsible for bathing and changing clothes, and the other is responsible for preparing spiritual tea.

However, the "favor" that Yan Wu longed for never came to her, and she could never forget it.

But if the master didn't have that intention, she would never dare to take the initiative.

Otherwise, if the hairpin goes too far, it will make the owner angry, and the consequences may be very miserable.

The status of a maid is humble, and the reality is so cruel that she has no choice.

"Um."

Liu Yu responded lightly and walked straight to the bathroom.

Yan Wu was half a step behind and followed suit step by step, while Ying Ge turned around to prepare the spiritual tea.

Walking into the bathroom, Liu Yu spread her hands flat.

Yan Wu pursed her lips when she saw this, resisted the shame and stretched out her white palms, slowly approached her body, and touched towards the belt.

Liu Yu felt a pair of weak, boneless little hands slowly groping around on his body. The owner of the little hands was a little restrained and nervous.

He smiled inwardly. This was not the first time such a scene had happened. He had long been used to it and was very calm about it.

After a while, the clothes were taken off one by one.

...(fifty characters omitted here)

When Liu Yu walked out of the bathroom, she suddenly felt refreshed, put on a new robe, and the fatigue caused by cultivation was gone.

Yan Wu, who was wearing a lavender dress, followed him step by step, her cheeks dyed pink.

"Sir, the spiritual tea is ready."

Seeing the master coming out, Yingge quickly came up to greet him and saluted him.

"Well~, okay, you have nothing to do here anymore."

"You guys go down first and wait."

Liu Yu said gently.

No matter how good the maid is, she can still be regarded as one of her own. In situations where there is a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority, her attitude is generally relatively gentle.

Of course, if someone makes a mistake, they will be punished without mercy.

"yes."

Yingge was the first to agree. Yan Wu was half a breath behind and agreed reluctantly.

The two women walked out of the cave one after the other, and soon their graceful figures disappeared from sight.

Liu Yu was leaning on the Taishi chair, holding a steaming cup of spiritual tea in one hand and a classic book in the other, slowly reading through it, stopping to think and ponder from time to time.

A quarter of an hour later, this small book had reached the last page.

He put it on the table and fell into thinking again.

The mountain gate of Baiyun Temple is located at the junction of Youzhou and Bingzhou. The nearest large gathering place for immortal cultivators is - "Xianque City".

And Yongtaifang City is already in the second half of Youzhou, only about a thousand miles away from "Xianque City".

If everything goes well with the main force of the sect and his own team, it may not take long or a few months for them to reach the gates of Xianque City and start the final battle.

Looking back on his experiences over the past two years, Liu Yu's eyes looked a little sad.

After the main force of the sect captured Jinquefang City, Baiyunguan had completely reacted and made corresponding arrangements.

They fully took advantage of their home field, integrated many large and small forces from both continents, deployed lines of defense, and put up tenacious resistance.

This journey up to this point has been really difficult and scary every step of the way, and we have encountered many dangers.

Even Liu Yu himself encountered a well-matched opponent. If he didn't use his trump card, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage, and the mission process came to a standstill.

Fortunately, help was found, and senior sister Li Buyu was called upon to help at the critical moment, and the dilemma was finally resolved.

For this, a lot of price has been paid and a lot of resources have been given up.

The team suffered heavy casualties. Most of the monks originally recruited in the Phoenix Mountain area were dead, and it was difficult to find any familiar faces.

Even among the 300 Qi Refining Stage monks from Qingzhou, there are only about 170 left.

However, under the deliberate care of Liu Yu and others, there are still about ninety disciples left in the sect. This is also the result of hard work to preserve them.

But fortunately, the strategy implemented from Phoenix Mountain has worked. He has been actively wooing the local forces and monks in Yan State, and has not been stingy with rewards of various resources such as spiritual stones, elixirs, industries, and spiritual mountains.
