Drawing the sword is the truth

In this world, all immortal cultivators use spiritual stones to assist their cultivation.

The faster the refining of spirit stones is, the faster the cultivation will be.

Depending on how it is used, one spiritual stone can be used for ten to one hundred days by a low-grade spiritual root cultivator.

In the first ten days, 40% of the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is refined, in twenty days, 60% of the spiritual energy is refined, in fifty days, 80% of the spiritual energy is refined, and in one hundred days, all the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is refined.

The efficiency of refining spiritual energy with medium-grade spiritual roots is twice as fast as that of low-grade spiritual roots, that is, it takes five to fifty days to refine one spiritual stone. The refining efficiency of high-grade spiritual roots and top-grade spiritual roots is faster.

Therefore, the key to limiting the cultivation speed of those top spiritual cultivators becomes the number of spiritual stones.

That is...

resource.

In the early stage of Qi refining, the annual income of monks is often only one or two spirit stones. Even in the later stage of Qi refining, the annual income of monks is only ten. Many cultivators who do not have enough spiritual stones to practice often rely only on breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice, and their efficiency plummets by dozens. times.

Even if a top-grade spiritual root cultivator does not use spiritual stones, the efficiency of breathing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can only be equivalent to that of a low-grade spiritual root cultivator fifty days after using spiritual stones.

Of course, the external environment, auxiliary objects, magic weapons, skills, status, and one's own realm will all affect the specific value.

Liu Chengyuan relied on the Suzaku Qi Refining Method to refine spiritual stones as quickly as a top-grade spiritual root monk who used ordinary Qi Refining Methods.

Then supplemented with Qi Nourishing Pill...

In one hundred days, he can refine 40% of the spiritual power out of one hundred spiritual stones. The total is equivalent to forty spiritual stones. Forty spiritual stones, it would take an ordinary monk with medium-grade spiritual roots five years to refine them. Half.

In other words, with the same middle-grade spiritual root, his cultivation efficiency for one hundred days is equivalent to five and a half years for other people!

The price...

Two hundred spirit stones.

It is enough for a middle-grade spiritual root monk to practice for nearly twenty-eight years.

If he can really complete this hundred-day practice, the door to the third level of Qi Refining will be open to him.

Everything is ready, all that is needed is the spiritual stone.

…

When Liufu went to drive the carriage, an old man led five people to Liu Chengyuan's yard.

Among the six people, the leader, an old man and a middle-aged man, stepped forward and greeted meticulously: "Young Master."

"Steward Yuan, Yuan Feng."

Liu Chengyuan looked at his butler, the captain of the bodyguard.

The housekeeper's name is Yuan Hai. Although he and Yuan Feng share the same surname, they are not related.

Among the two, Butler Yuan is at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the captain of the bodyguard Yuan Feng...

Seventh level of Qi refining.

A monk in the late stage of Qi refining.

In the late stage of Qi refining, all the people in the Bai Yuliu family were considered important and important figures. Even though he was the eldest son, he could not enjoy such a standard of protection.

but……

As the head of the White Jade Liu family, Liu Fengxue placed a guard at the peak of the sixth level of Qi refining beside him, and then gave him resources to help him break through to the seventh level of Qi refining.

It was also because of this kindness that Yuan Feng had no complaints about Liu Chengyuan first driving him away and then recalling him.

"The safety of myself and the yard will be left to you."

Liu Chengyuan said cautiously.

Yuan Hai and Yuan Feng looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "Please rest assured, young master, we are here and we will not let the petty thugs harm you in the slightest."

"Okay, I'll give you an important task."

Liu Chengyuan led Yuan Feng, Yuan Hai and a group of six people to the inner courtyard. He pointed at the nuclear bomb that still covered many flowers and plants and said: "Move it to the side hall and guard it day and night. No one is allowed to enter the side hall. Half a point.”

The two of them took a look at the nuclear bomb in the courtyard and were a little surprised.

However, a man behind him changed his expression instantly.

This change made Liu Chengyuan's eyes quickly fall on him: "Do you know this thing?"

"No...I don't know it, but I have mastered the art of Tianji and have reached the third level. Under the influence of Tianji, this thing...seems to contain great dangers, just like...the scorching sun in the sky, making people panic..."

The man's face turned a little pale.

"Tianjishu? Tianjishu of the third heaven!?"

Liu Chengyuan's eyes suddenly changed.

Good guy!

The Tianji Technique of the Third Heaven is even rarer than that of the monks in the late stage of Qi Refining. After entering the Shantianyuan, you can at least be in charge of the first floor and become the building owner. If you have meritorious service, it is not difficult to become the deputy head of the Xuantianyuan.

A person like this actually came to serve as his bodyguard?

Is this how the eldest son is treated?

"Young Master Yuan, this thing is... dangerous. I suggest you, Young Master Yuan, stay away from it."

The man said nervously.

Tianji warned him to escape as fast as possible.

"Your name is... Fang Daoyan?"

"yes."

"I'm quite interested in the art of Heaven's Secret. Can you teach me the art of Heaven's Secret?"

"This... the young master has a bright future. He should not spend his precious time on the boring study of Tianji Yiyi."

"It doesn't matter. I heard that Tianji can deduce opportunities and even predict bad luck. If I can practice it, I will at least have an extra guarantee."

Liu Chengyuan said.

There was once a powerful person in this world who opened up the world of heavenly secrets, recorded all traceable information, and passed down the sixteen levels of heavenly secrets derivation techniques, allowing the originally mysterious and mysterious art of heavenly secrets derivation to flourish.

Any Tianji monk who has practiced Tianji derivation can use a little spiritual light to deduce clues from the Tianji world that contains countless information and get guidance.

Those who have cultivated the Tianji technique to the tenth level can also open up a small world in the Tianji world for people to communicate, help others make deductions, share information, and even erase the Tianji for others.

Of course, the price is extremely expensive.

"Oh well."

Fang Daoyan reluctantly responded: "However, practicing the secret deduction technique requires the use of corresponding magic weapons..."

"I happen to be going out to sell the carriages, let's go buy them together."

Liu Chengyuan said.

At this time, Liufu had already driven the carriage to the door and came to ask for instructions.

Liu Chengyuan took one look at the hydrogen bomb and said cautiously: "Captain Yuan, this thing will be left to your care."

After speaking, he pointed emphatically at the operating area: "No one should touch this area even half a minute!"

"Don't worry, Master."

Yuan Feng glanced at some unknown words in that area and said solemnly: "I will protect this thing with my life."

Liu Chengyuan nodded.

In the later stage of Qi refining, he has become a figure in Baiyu City.

The facade masters of several major chambers of commerce in Baiyu City are often at this level, even the Lin Chamber of Commerce, which ranks first in the city, is no exception.

Liu Chengyuan came to the door.

Wind Chaser Yuan Cheng is already waiting at the door.

modeling……

It feels like the front of the Harmony train, only more compact and exquisite.

There were many people on the street looking at the carriage with envy in their eyes.

However, the yard Liu Chengyuan bought is in the core area of ​​Baiyu City. At a glance, the house is grand, the environment is elegant, the streets are clean, and there is no mess at all.

Pedestrians coming and going are also well-dressed and either rich or noble, so they don't lose their composure and watch.

Liu Chengyuan got on the carriage, with luxurious carpets under his feet, and the decorations on both sides were full of ingenuity.

In addition, this carriage, which is about 4.6 meters long, is divided into two levels, the front and rear. The driver is located in the front, and the space is relatively small, but the rear level is quite spacious. The two seats can be put down completely and connected with the rear seats to form two levels. There are single beds that can be combined.

"The designer of the Yuancheng... knows it very well."

Liu Chengyuan touched the textured seat: "Although this world is set in ancient times, a city where immortals and mortals live together must not be treated with the impression of the past."

…

A big city with a population of tens of millions is so huge, and it requires amazing productivity and transportation capacity to supply the daily consumption of tens of millions of people.

These are all symbols of heritage.

Liu Chengyuan was sitting on the carriage, surrounded by traffic, various shops and pedestrians, and a dazzling array of goods on display. From time to time, he could see carriages with gorgeous decorations, and even carriages with Qi Refining monks as their drivers. The carriage passed by.

In a trance, people feel like they are walking through an antique modern city.

After walking forward for a while, the number of carriages and carriages suddenly increased in front, and they were traveling slowly.

Where Liu Chengyuan came into view, a building with a height of more than ten floors appeared.

Inside and outside the building, a large number of monks were coming and going.

Following the memory, something moved in his heart...

"This is... the Demon Slayer Academy?"

The Demon-Slaying Academy is a semi-official and semi-private organization jointly established by the Tianjian Academy, the Guardian Academy, and the Wanling Academy. It emerged thirty years ago and is spread throughout the cities in Tiannan to deal with the increasing number of demons and troubles outside the city.

With the investment from Wanlingyuan, we will use the power of the people, aristocratic families, and sects to eliminate demons and monsters, so as to reduce the pressure on Tianjianyuan and Guarding Hall.

Recently, part-time jobs such as express delivery, mercenary service, notarization, and treasure hunting have also developed.

perhaps……

He could find a courier and get rid of the hydrogen bomb in his hand.

"stop."

Liu Chengyuan said.

"Master?"

Liufu parked the carriage aside in confusion.

"You take the chariot to Lin's Trading Company and let him pay. I'll go to the Demon Slayer Academy for a walk."

"Young Master, there is a mixture of dragons and snakes in the Demon Slayer Academy. In your capacity..."

Liufu exclaimed.

Before he finished speaking, Liu Chengyuan had already opened the door and got out of the carriage: "Didn't you see there was a guard around me?"

After saying that, he took Fang Daoyan to the Demon Slayer Academy.

The Demon Slaying Academy is very large, with an area of ​​more than tens of thousands of square meters. There are hundreds of monks and thousands of mortals in the courtyard, either buying and selling supplies, receiving intelligence, joining forces with others to hunt monsters, or looking for guides to go deep into the wilderness. Search for treasures of heaven and earth.

At a glance, it is bustling and lively.

Liu Chengyuan did not stay outside and went directly into the inner hall of the high tower of Demon Slayer Academy.

There were much fewer people in the inner hall, but their cultivation level was a higher level.

It's not uncommon to see monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, and from time to time there are twos and threes of masters in the late stage of Qi refining coming and going.

Liu Chengyuan looked at it for a moment and soon came to the express business area.

Seeing Liu Chengyuan's luxurious clothes, several representatives of the escort agency who thought they had extraordinary strength immediately came forward: "Master, do you have any treasures that need to be escorted? Our Daqian Escort Agency has a reputation of 60 years, and we will definitely achieve our mission!"

"Sir, the chief escort of our Tianxing Escort Agency has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. He has been an escort outside the Tiannan Territory, and his safety is fully guaranteed."

"Let me see."

Liu Chengyuan replied and checked the information of several reputable escort agencies.

At this time, a girl whose appearance and temperament were not inferior to Lin Xuewei's and an old man with a withered face walked in from outside the hospital.

The arrival of the two people attracted the attention of many people.

Even Fang Daoyan, who was guarding Liu Chengyuan, glanced at the girl a few more times.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

But soon, his eyes fell on an old man behind the girl.

"This is a Ningzhen Realm monk."

He whispered: "But... there's something wrong with the breath..."

"This brother has great eyesight."

The escorts from Daqian Escort Company came up immediately: "That girl is Yin Yuchan, the young master of the Frost Sword Sect. She is only 28 years old and has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. The person behind her is the elder of the Frost Sword Sect, Fu Xingyun, a real master of Condensation, but he performed forbidden techniques in the battle to destroy the Frost Sword Sect six days ago and was seriously injured."

"Frost Sword Sect?"

Fang Daoyan was stunned: "Frost Sword Sect, one of the four major sects around Baiyu City? This sect was destroyed? I remember that the master of Frost Sword Sect is a powerful cultivator who is about to condense the golden elixir!?"

"Isn't it! Tianshuangjian Yin Qingshuang is one of the top ten masters of our Baiyu City. A Tianshuang sword is powerful in the surrounding 800 miles of Yunling. But the one who is targeting them... is a human demon!"

The escorts from Daqian Escort Company said this and couldn't help but lower their voice: "Human demon in the golden elixir realm!"

"Human demon in the golden elixir realm!"

Fang Daoyan's face changed immediately.

There are demons among monsters, and there are human demons!

This is a kind of demon that has lost its intelligence and is insane. They feed on the negative emotions of intelligent creatures. After occupying a place, they often torture intelligent creatures crazily and devour them when their negative emotions reach the peak!

This kind of evil demon can be killed by everyone.

Similarly, it is also the culprit of the current chaos in the world.

Even the demon race has to temporarily cease fire with the human race because of the demons, and fight against the increasingly fierce evil demon chaos together.
