Shangyuque

Chapter 123 The road leading to the avenue is very narrow, Yulou must work hard to squeeze forward (1.13W)

The life of an immortal cultivator is not entirely eventful. Although eventful and magnificent sounds ambitious, it is often accompanied by risks.

After experiencing the turmoil in the Dripping Palace, Yulou's practice in the Dripping Cave stabilized.

No Shabi came to trouble him, no vicious enemy attacked him secretly.

Even under the threat of Master Hongli, Yuan Daoshen would occasionally send Wang Yaohai to Hewan Fishing Port to visit Yulou.

After all, Master Hongli said that if something happened to Wang Yulou, she would kill Yuan Daoshen to avenge Wang Yulou.

Although he was not sure whether Master Hongli was just knocking or was using the knocking to express his true thoughts, Yuan Daoshen did not dare to gamble.

Wang Yaohai played a certain role in the Dongtian patrol team's investigation of the Iron Crocodile Dragon, and he also made a name for himself in front of Yuan Daoshen, so he was entrusted with an important task - visiting Wang Yulou regularly was indeed an important task.

After being protected by True Man Hongli himself, Wang Yulou's reputation in the Dripping Cave reached a new level. He used to be Wang Yulou of the Wang family of Anbei State, and now he is Wang Yulou who is valued by True Man Hongli.

The three palace disciples of Dishui Cave Heaven might not be able to remember the names of all the sect elders, but they can definitely remember Wang Yulou's name.

On this day, Wang Yaohai, who was entrusted with an important task by Yuan Daoshen, came again to inquire about Yulou's condition.

In the quiet room of the villa, Yulou said helplessly as she poured tea for Wang Yaohai.

"Brother Yao Hai, what can happen to me? In the past three years, I have only been out of Hewan Port twice.

One time was to congratulate Xuewu for taking up the position of the monk guarding Baimao Fishing Port, and the other time was to go to Dishuitian to talk with Elder Lin.

Go back and tell Yuan Daoshen that I won’t cause trouble for myself, so that he won’t bother you anymore.

You come to this courtyard once a month, and you come more frequently than Xiaoyu and Senior Sister Lin. This is not appropriate."

Wang Yaohai was secretly shocked. Wang Yulou called Yuan Daoshen by his name. If Yuan Daoshen heard this, he would probably be furious again.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators and even the Purple Mansion cultivators have not truly become immortals. When it is time for them to live their worldly lives, they still live their worldly lives.

Hongli slapped Yuan Daoshen in the face repeatedly, perhaps because he felt too good to stop.

Therefore, the fact that Old Yuan was angry did not mean that he had no self-control, but that he simply could not do anything about Wang Yulou.

As for Wang Yaohai, he would not spread rumors randomly. After all, he had already pledged his allegiance to Wang Yulou.

Yuan Daoshen thought that Wang Yaohai was a member of the Yuan family, but in fact, this Senior Brother Wang was a typical two-faced person. He was one thing in front of Yuan Daoshen and another in front of Wang Yulou.

Of course, two-faced person is not a good word. From Yulou's perspective, he is willing to regard Wang Yaohai's behavior as a firm ideal and belief of lurking in the enemy camp.

What belief?
Following Wang Yulou is not necessarily worse than following Lao Yuan!

"Hahaha, I dare not say anything nonsense to Elder Daoshen, and it is also a good thing to discuss Taoism with you, Yulou.

However, you have had those two concubines for many years, why haven't they given birth to a son yet?"

Wang Yaohai's question actually crossed the line, but he and Wang Yulou had gotten along well for the past three years, and this crossing of the line could actually be seen as a further test of their relationship at that time.

In short, this is what Wang Yulou thought, so he did not hesitate and immediately accepted Wang Yaohai's invitation to upgrade their relationship.

“Brother Yao Hai, you don’t know that in order to prevent me from being disturbed by matters of sex, Master Hongli cast a spell on me.

In the past few years, whenever Chu Ran, Xiao Yu and I had skin contact, it would only take a moment for my whole body to become hot. "

As he spoke, Yulou used his spiritual energy to activate the spell that Hongli had left in his body.

Zifu Daxiu is indeed terrifying. After three years, the spell is still powerful.

Noticing the red seal on Yulou's forehead, Wang Yaohai drooled with envy.

Although there is suspicion of being controlled, would a real person cause trouble to others at random?
What does it mean to be valued by real people?

This is what real people value!
Seeing Wang Yaohai's surprised expression, Yulou didn't care and continued to explain.

“You can report this matter to Lao Yuan and say that you got me drunk with bitter leaf wine before you figured it out. You can take credit for it.

You should know that the sect releases two portions of foundation-building resources a year. The Yuan family's portion will not be available until nine years later, but there are still three people ahead of you.

After nine years, it will be another twenty-four years, and then thirty-three years before it will be your turn. But in the meantime, there will definitely be other more core disciples of the Yuan family who will get ahead of you.

Brother Yao Hai, you are probably not young anymore, right? "

Three years ago, the sect rewarded Wang Yulou, the monk who guarded the Hewan Fishing Harbor, with two thousand points of Bishui Palace merit, eight hundred points of Dishuitian merit, ten thousand spirit stones, water jade, dripping grass, and green blood frog marrow.

But the final result was not that they generously donated to the sect, but that they directly took away the Yuan family's share of the sect's foundation-building resources - the 100,000 spirit stones that Yuan Daoshen paid as compensation were not included in this.

The reason why Wang Yulou was awarded eight hundred points of Di Shui Tian merit was that he defeated the great demon crocodile dragon.

This was certainly a good thing for Wang Yulou, but for Ji Yuan and Wang Yaohai, it was a bolt from the blue.

Every twelve years, the Yuan family is able to receive a portion of foundation-building resources from the sect, and all of Yuan's disciples rely on this resource to serve the Yuan family.

It can be said that the fight between Wang Yulou and Yuan eventually affected all of Yuan's disciples, and Ji Yuan and Wang Yaohai's foundation-building time was pushed back by at least twelve years.

After hearing Yulou take the initiative to calculate the waiting time for his foundation-building resources, Wang Yaohai's face looked a little unnatural.

He certainly couldn't wait for thirty-three years, but Wang Yaohai had no other choice.

This is because the Yuan family collected few dogs, so he had the opportunity to build a foundation.

Some elders in the sect accept disciples without regard to whether they are vegetarian or not. They require the disciple gifts but do not provide much support. They even do not care whether the disciples will have the opportunity to build a foundation in the future.

Compared to those elders, the Yuan family at least has some bottom line, and more importantly, they have strength.

After all, it is the largest family in Dripping Cave. Providing one portion of foundation-building resources every twelve years means that the Yuan family can give their disciples and clansmen the opportunity to build a foundation every twelve years.

"Then there's no need to wait that long. Lao Ji and I will probably each get half in the future. There's still a chance. As for whether it will succeed, it all depends on fate." Wang Yaohai replied with a strong smile.

There are two reasons why the Yuan family failed to have dozens of foundation-building people. One is that having more people is not necessarily a good thing. The resources for cultivation and protection will not be enough, and it may force others to unite more closely around Master Hongli.

Another is that the Yuan family will split up the share of foundation-building resources obtained from the sect and distribute them to their disciples. This seems fair, but it only guarantees survival, not success.

“You can’t rely on fate. It will be troublesome if you rely on fate, so what I am doing now is to try my best to help you get a chance to get one.

Brother Yao Hai, I will definitely go to the Immortal Alliance in the future. Well, at least I will go to the Red Light.

But now that I have created such a big scene in the Dripping Cave, there is no way I can give up.

After Senior Sister Lin and I get married, I will have three wives. They will look after my properties and power in the Dripping Cave for me after I leave.

And you, if you can build the foundation, you will be my own person planted in the Yuan family.

If Yuan Daoshen or the future head of the Yuan family has any evil intentions, you can at least play a role in conveying the message in secret."

If Zhang Xuewu is the dog raised by Wang Yulou, then Bai Xiaoyu and Qin Churan are the extension and representatives of Yulou. However, Wang Yaohai and Lin Ying are different, they are Wang Yulou's allies.

The reason why Wang Yaohai could become an ally was because of his special status as a disciple of the Yuan family. Yulou had originally tried to win him over because he had a conflict with the Yuan family, and Wang Yaohai might be useful in the future.

“Strive for a chance to get one”

Wang Yulou spoke very frankly, and even directly stated his future plans. Wang Yaohai naturally understood that Yulou was not talking nonsense.

In less than eight years, he had reached the fifth level of Qi training, and it seemed that he would be able to break through to the sixth level soon.

Born into a prominent family, with a powerful background, his influence has grown in a way that is eye-catching, and he is highly regarded by the sect's True Man Hongli.

How could such a Wang Yulou not be qualified to arrange his own future or even Wang Yaohai's future?
"But this opportunity is not easy to fight for. Yulou and Jiyuan are still ahead of me."

Wang Yaohai smiled bitterly and said that when Wang Yulou was trying to win him over, he said that it would be a good thing for Ji Yuan to go to the Zhuo family's gang to be a vanguard, and now it has come true.

Ji Yuan has worked in the Dongtian Patrol for several years and has completely established himself. His ranking among the Yuan family disciples is firmly ahead of Wang Yaohai.

“Use your strength from three angles. There are three people in the Yuan family ahead of you. One of them is your master’s granddaughter, and the other two are disciples of the Yuan family’s direct lineage who have established their foundation.

If we eliminate one of them, your ranking will move up a level and stabilize. "

Seeing that Wang Yaohai didn't say anything, Yulou understood that Wang was moved.

After all, he was a disciple of Huachi Palace who had fought his way out of the dangerous West Sea. How could he really become a loyal dog of the Yuan family? It was nothing more than a mutual use.

Faced with the temptation of building a foundation, Hongmei was so crazy that she wanted to kill her disciple, and it was not excessive for Wang Yaohai to abandon a good senior brother and sister.

“Second, within the sect, Brother Yao Hai, you have done a good job as the Inspector of Huachi Palace, but it is just normal work results.

Let's move and make some noise. Now that Sect Leader Qu has retired, the new Sect Leader Chu Hongyi is a centrist.

I managed the Hewan Fishing Port well, so Sect Leader Qu gave me a reward. You can try this kind of thing too."

Wang Yaohai couldn't figure out how to make any noise, but he didn't ask. Instead, he waited expectantly for Yulou to point out the third direction for him.

After refilling his teacup with spiritual tea, Yulou spoke softly.

“Finally, Elder Changhe is not young anymore, and a long time ago, he had no chance of making further progress in his life.

If you can get rid of his granddaughter, Brother Yao Hai, you will be his few hope.

This coincides with the first one, so it's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, what do you think?"

The real purpose is revealed, Lao Wang, please give another token of your loyalty, otherwise I will feel uneasy.

The care and support that a master provides to his disciples is limited. People often think about themselves, and besides that, they think about their relatives, and the disciples have to sit at the back of the queue - of course, the immortals and true people can live for tens of thousands of years, and they may not make any difference between relatives and disciples in their eyes, they are all tools.

But for Wang Yaohai's master Luo Changhe, he didn't have many choices.

If you want to move up in a system, in addition to having excellent personal abilities, removing obstacles in front of you is also a good method.

In the small system of the Yuan faction with Luo Changhe as the core, the granddaughter of Elder Changhe is the obstacle to Wang Yaohai.

As for whether Yulou's suggestion is cruel or not.
If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm. If being cruel to others can help Yulou and the people around him live a better life, then be cruel.

The clan leader and the ancestors always think that Yulou is not cruel enough, but Yulou is actually also reflecting and growing.

Compared to Mangxiang's courage and determination to treat everything as consumable, I am indeed far behind him.

Such a reckless elephant is just a normal one among the great cultivators. The cruel and strength-oriented world of cultivation cannot tolerate the kindness of the incompetent and weak.

Finally, Yulou finally figured it out - being a weakling on the outside but a saint on the inside is at least better than being a tough guy on the outside but a weak one on the inside.

Too many people know that being crippled on the outside but wise on the inside is a good choice, but they don't dare to do it, but Wang Yulou dares to do it.

From this point of view, the path chosen by Yulou is far from an ordinary path.

Wang Yaohai didn't know how to respond to Yulou's invitation.

After he tried to upgrade the relationship, Wang Yulou gave him very good feedback, but the feedback was too much and too big, and he found it difficult to bear it for a while.

Looking at the teacup, Wang Yaohai fell into silence for a long time.

This cup of tea was poured for him by Yulou.

Just like that day when he drank the tea that Yulou gave him and then chose to backstab Yuan, now, Yulou was also waiting for him to drink tea.

Wait for him to choose.

The brown tea soup emits white smoke, and black tea foam swirls slightly in the tea soup.

As it spins, some of the tea foam floats up and some falls down.

Just like the cultivators struggling in the world, some can float up, practice Qi, build foundation, and finally, even go further and become Purple Palace.

But most of them will eventually fall and sink to the bottom of the cup, becoming consumables that make up the rich tea aroma of the tea soup.

I can't fall!

I want to float!

Wang Yaohai picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp with a resolute expression, swallowing all the tea foam, whether it fell or floated, into his throat.

He wants to be detached, he doesn't want to be controlled by others.

So, faced with the olive branch extended by Wang Yulou, he had no choice.

"Hahaha, okay, Brother Yao Hai, I really didn't misjudge you!

Let me first tell you about how you achieved success in Huachi Palace.
After it's done, I'll give the leader some personnel changes. Considering your Yuan family's background, do you still worry that the sect won't reward you?
Sect rewards are one thing. If a disciple of the Yuan family performs well, the Yuan family will also give you more resources and rewards.

The combination of the two means an extra percentage of resources for building the foundation in the future.

As for the matter of Elder Changhe’s granddaughter, wait for my news.

Now that Sect Leader Qu is gone and the crackdown has stopped, the direct descendants of elders like her will eventually come out of the cave from time to time.

When she goes out, that's your chance to take action."

Wang Yaohai realized that Yulou's arrangement seemed to be wrong, and he spoke carefully.

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, I will leave with her, and there will be records left at the entrance and exit of the cave. This..."

He had no psychological burden about surrendering, but he was worried that Lao Luo would suspect him.

"That's fine. I'll ask Senior Brother Jin Ruiqing and Senior Sister Qu Yi to go out with you and provide proof of your alibi."

Jin Ruiqing, an experienced Qi practitioner who approached Wang Yulou at the exchange meeting, entered the Bishui Palace based on his seniority, but had long lost the opportunity to build a foundation.

Qu Yi, Wu Jinyan’s secret lover, was originally a disciple of the Bishui Palace whose master died violently.

In a sense, these two people are both Wang Yulou's people.

The former is Yulou's subordinate in business, while Wu Jinyan, who is behind the latter, is gradually becoming a family friend of the Anbei Wang family.

What is powerful?
This is what it means to be powerful!

Wang Yulou's cultivation level is only the fifth level of Qi training, but he can use his power to directly control Wang Yaohai's fate.

"But what's the reason for the three of us to leave the cave?"

Wang Yaohai had already begun to back out. He didn't expect Wang Yulou to want to control him in this way.

He had met Jin Ruiqing before, and they were just acquaintances, but he didn't expect that this man was actually Wang Yulou's man.

Qu Yi had only heard that the master of this female cultivator had died violently during the Immortal Alliance's magic decree mission.

These two people proved for Wang Yaohai that in the future, Wang Yaohai would become Wang Yulou's lackey and be completely controlled by Wang Yulou.

He could accept being influenced by Wang Yulou and surrendering to Wang Yulou, but he could not accept the result of completely losing his autonomy.

Is that kind of foundation building really related to Xiaoyao?
Obviously, Lao Wang was still too naive, and his low starting point affected his vision.

Not to mention that the foundation-building stage is not free and easy, even the Purple Mansion stage is not truly free and easy.

Zhou Fujiao is an example of a person who is free and easy but half dead at the same time.

“You are the inspector of Huachi Palace and a disciple of the Yuan family. If you want to leave the cave, just talk to the cultivator guarding the gate.

I will arrange for the other two people myself, and I won't leave any of them behind, don't worry."

"But Fellow Daoist Yuque, if my senior sister and I were out at the same time and she died, I would be suspected no matter what."

Wang Yaohai was still rational and he saw the problem.

Luo Changhe's granddaughter was with him outside. She died, but he survived. His ranking in the Yuan family in terms of foundation-building resources rose by one place. Based on the principle that the beneficiary is guilty, he would inevitably be suspected.

"Do you regret it?" Wang Yulou looked at the male cultivator opposite him calmly.

Under Yulou's emotionless gaze, Wang Yaohai lowered his head.

"No regrets."

Now that he had been favored, he had no right to refuse, nor did he really want to refuse. He just wanted to negotiate a bargain with Yulou.

For example, he could inform Senior Sister Wang Yulou of the time to leave the cave, and Wang Yulou could arrange someone to do it.

"Old Wang, if one person dies, it's troublesome and a problem. But if two more people die, it won't be a problem. Since you don't regret it, I will do everything for you!"

The death of one elder’s granddaughter is a trouble, but the death of more is not a trouble.

Wang Yaohai looked up in disbelief and bumped into Yulou’s calm face again.

Ruthless, calm, and cruel, Wang Yulou and Mangxiang are no different from those great monks in their behavior.

He understood the rules of this world very well and was gradually accepting some of them.

The first step to changing reality is to accept part of the reality. This is the logic of practice that can never be avoided.

"does it worth?"

Wang Yaohai didn't think that the issue of his foundation-building resources was worth such a fuss.

Yulou pulled Wang Yaohai up and brought him to the platform next to the quiet room.

The quiet room in the villa was rebuilt in imitation of Lao Yuan’s place of practice. Outside the cloud platform connected to the lobby is the boundless sea of clouds of the Dripping Water Cave on the mountainside.

Pointing at the sea of clouds, Yulou said with emotion.

“Look, the sun and moon in the cave are fake, but the people in the cave know nothing about it.

The people on earth looked at the Immortal Palace in the sky and worshipped the greatness of the Immortal.

They couldn't imagine that the monsters in the cave heaven were set up by the sect and existed only with the permission of the Immortal Lord.

You are different, Brother Yao Hai. You have been to the West Sea and you know how big the world is.

In this universe, you and I are but mayflies. How much truth do we know?

The so-called power is just a cloud brought by cultivation.

Put aside those false suns and moons, put aside those false rules and concepts that are only for discipline and control.

The only truth is your and my cultivation, and the only one we can rely on is ourselves.

If we want to go further, or become the price in other people’s mouths, we have to give up something, don’t we?
However, if you want to achieve something but are unwilling to be involved in the consequences of your actions, it is probably impossible.

People, don’t be too greedy.”

Being pulled by Yulou to stand at the edge of the clouds, Wang Yaohai could feel the breeze between the mountains and clouds blowing his hair.

He was at a loss for a moment.

Do I deserve to be taken seriously?

Wang Yulou used both soft and hard tactics, giving sweet dates, big cakes, and big sticks, and now he even played a low-profile version of welcoming with open arms.

The effect was outstanding, at least Wang Yaohai was confused.

"Fellow Daoist Yuque, Yao Hai understands!"

Finally, Wang Yaohai paid him a solemn tribute and left.

Wang Yulou stood in front of the platform for a long time without moving.

Your hands are stained with karma, your hands are stained with karma, what nice words.

“Very good, Yulou, this is what the clan leader and I expect you to be.

Don't worry, don't hesitate, you are doing the right thing.

The resources between heaven and earth were limited, and the great monk had taken away most of them. Everyone was guarding everything they had vigilantly.

If you don't fight and bite, how can you go far?
Wait for the enemy to come to you, and then you can stand on the moral high ground to take revenge, kill the enemy, and gain benefits?
The great monks won’t allow it, the Purple Mansions won’t allow it, the Golden Cores won’t allow it, and the Immortal Lords won’t allow it!
Enemies like Yuan Daoshen and the Yuan family will not give you too many opportunities. Even if you do get a chance, you will not be able to resolve it in a short period of time.

The Immortal Alliance restricts you and the Yuan family. Everything is designed. This short period of time may be a thousand years or even ten thousand years.

Those that you can easily take down, such as Cui Dingyi, cannot bring you enough returns.

The great monks ate countless people in order to stand on top of the world and be independent. If you don't eat people, how can you become a superior person?"

Patriarch Xianzhou, who had been hiding aside and listened to the entire conversation between Yulou and Wang Yaohai, strode out and affirmed Yulou's decision.

"But, ancestor, if I didn't pursue the speed of cultivation, many things could be avoided."

Wang Yulou didn't turn around, but asked the ancestor behind him.

Wang Xianzhou hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth which was known only to three people in the Wang family.

"Silly child, haven't you realized yet? The restriction on the flow of qi is a way for the great monks to prevent more people from appearing in the world that may affect their interests.

But their methods are not limited to restricting the induction of Qi. Thousands of years ago, it was no longer possible to use elixirs to speed up the practice of induction of Qi. This was only an obvious restriction.

The real problem is that the Purple Palace achieved through the new method is too difficult to attain!

In ancient times, in the Zifu who practiced the old method, one hundred people could become one after laying the foundation.

Now under the new law of Zifu, even out of ten thousand people who want to build a foundation, it is not certain that only one can emerge. Why?
Why is building a foundation becoming easier and easier?
Why is there such a big gap between Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion?

You think it clearly, Yulou.

This is also the reason why I urge you to practice day and night and build a foundation as soon as possible.

True Man Hongli really values you. In order to help you build your foundation as soon as possible, he even uses magic to limit the possibility of you being affected by the pleasures of men and women.

Don't think too much, just practice, Yulou."

Those who get on the car first weld the doors shut, and then create a vague fantasy of immortality to deceive those who come later into willingly becoming consumables.

Building a foundation is simple, but if a cultivator wants to build a foundation, he must participate in the transactions in the world of immortal cultivation. In the end, the biggest beneficiaries are the great cultivators (the top of the food chain) who control spiritual objects (means of production). The more immortal cultivators build their foundations, the more surplus value the great cultivators will reap - in order to reap the benefits, Mang Xiang even allows the people below to use future surplus value as compensation.

Despite this, as long as cultivators still want to practice, they can only obey the Immortal Alliance system.

Protection is also a restriction. The Immortal Alliance does not allow foundation-building cultivators to attack Qi-cultivating cultivators. This is a protection for Qi-cultivating cultivators. Qi-cultivating cultivators will always support the Immortal Alliance.

But for foundation building, in the face of the chasm between foundation building and purple palace, the rule that prevents one from exploiting Qi training to extract resources is like a cage.

As Yulou walked further and climbed higher, he gradually understood many things.

But out of awe, no, out of fear.

Because of fear, he didn't dare to speak out or try to resist.

Smart people are the first to see through the lies in the rules, and then choose to obey them wisely - that's human nature.

The Immortal Alliance had planned everything from the very beginning.

To be precise, the Immortal Lords had designed everything since they established the Immortal Alliance to serve them.

The Immortal Alliance is a tool, and the Immortal Lords on the Immortal Platform are the masters.

"Ancestor, after building the foundation, is it more difficult?"

Under tremendous mental pressure, Yulou's throat became a little hoarse.

The child has grown up and has become more resilient to the cruelty of the world. Wang Xianzhou naturally won't pretend to be mysterious and say things like "it's not time for you to know yet."

"If the foundation can be established successfully in one try, a person with a single spiritual root can achieve the foundation at the age of 100 through normal practice, and a person with two spiritual roots can achieve the foundation at the age of 120 through normal practice.

After building the foundation, assuming the normal speed of building a foundation every sixty years, a cultivator with a single spiritual root would need at least two hundred and seventy years to complete the cultivation of the foundation, which is not enough time.

It takes 240 years for a cultivator with dual spiritual roots to complete his cultivation of the Tao foundation, but even after the Tao foundation is complete, he is still a long way from opening the Purple Palace.

The connection between the five spirits takes at least a dozen years, and if it is slow, it is normal to take decades.

The birth of the five spirits ends, and the cave heaven begins to form, with spiritual objects inheriting the foundation of Taoism and giving birth to the cave heaven.

The Five Meridians Taoist Foundation requires five ninth-grade spiritual objects. Even if one spiritual object only counts as 200,000 spiritual stones, it would still be one million spiritual stones.

But the key is time!

It would take at least several decades for the five spirits to be born and the cave heaven to be formed. Even for a cultivator with dual spiritual roots to practice normally, that time would not be enough.

Every minute and every second you save now will be the surplus you will have before opening your Purple Palace in the future.

The spirit stones you earn now as you build up your power and foundation are all to help you save time, to save time when you are practicing Qi and to save time after you have established your foundation.

Without rapid practice, no one can achieve the Purple Palace by just sitting in a cave!
Don’t compete with others for profit. No one can get the spiritual objects needed for the initial essence of the cave by sitting in the cave alone! "

Yulou opened his mouth weakly, but ultimately said nothing.

His current cultivation speed is ten times that of a person with dual spiritual roots who practices Qigong without taking any elixirs.

Logically speaking, after seven years, he should have been able to achieve the same progress as seventy years of practice and directly reach the eighth level of Qi training, but in reality he only achieved a little more than three-fifths of the theoretical effect.

The marginal effect of the elixir on the speed of cultivation is too great. The theoretical maximum speed of cultivation is delayed by too many things. This is also the result of Wang Yulou's extraordinary birth, which allows him to obtain a large amount of resources and abandon many trivial matters.

It takes time to trace the pulse, it takes time to practice fighting skills, it takes time to participate in normal sect activities, and it takes time to refine equipment and exchange for spirit stones.

Time, time.

The Immortal Alliance restricts the channels through which cultivators obtain resources, and the restrictions on the rules refer to the cultivators' time.

Everything was calculated clearly.

With this calculation, among the many Qi practitioners Yulou knew, only a few still had the chance to reach the Purple Palace, while for all the others, it would be difficult for them to remain immortals for long.

“Yulou, practice hard. Break through the sixth level of Qi training within a month, and break through the late stage of Qi training within two years. By then, it won’t be a problem for you to establish your foundation when you are around sixty years old.

After the life extension, 340 years of lifespan will leave enough room for you. If you can achieve the Five Meridians Dao Foundation within 150 years, you will have a great chance of reaching the Purple Palace."

An Ning can extend the lifespan of a foundation-building cultivator from six hundred years to nearly five hundred years, which shows that the upper limit of the lifespan extension for a foundation-building cultivator is not low.

Patriarch Xian Zhou's prediction was very conservative, he only estimated that Yulou could extend his life to four hundred years, or forty years.

"Ancestor, Yulou understands. It's just Wang Yaohai's matter. Are you sure there won't be any accidents in the arrangements outside the cave?"

Wang Xianzhou smiled slightly and said.

“With this kind of thing, it’s impossible that there won’t be any accidents. It’s just a little trouble.

But even if Wang Yaohai's matter cannot be accomplished, it will not affect the overall situation, so you don't have to worry."

Having said that, the ancestor asked again.

"However, Yulou, are you sure you want to kill the five direct descendants of the Dripping Cave this time?"

When Wang Yulou told Wang Yaohai that more people should die, he meant four more people would die.

“Well, the foundation-building resources in the Dripping Water Cave are distributed among the foundation-building practitioners in a queue, but the elders often give priority to their own bloodlines. Sometimes it is not uncommon for them to give to their own bloodlines several times in a row.

Among the participants in the exchange ceremonies I initiated, most were marginal disciples in the Bishui Palace, such as Ji Yuan, Wang Yaohai, Fan Zhugao, etc. Even if they had the Zhuo and Yuan families behind them, they could only be ranked at the back in terms of resource distribution.

Killing more direct descendants will give participants in the communication conference more opportunities. In this way, even if I pass away in the future, my influence in the Dripping Cave will not disappear.

With Xiaoyu and Lin Ying as the foundation, and the foundation-building method of the old Dharma Assembly with me as support, this is the perfect plan."

Wang Yaohai thought Yulou was a man of modesty, and Yulou killed many people for him in anger. No, it should be said that he was involved in many karmas for him, so that his chances of building the foundation would be more stable.

In fact, Yulou was targeting the problem in the distribution model of foundation-building resources for the disciples of Bishui Palace.

If more direct descendants die, the chances of a foundation-building ceremony occurring will be higher.

Moreover, Qu Yunjian, who was in charge of the crackdown, has left, and the new Chu Hongyi is too incompetent. Only by killing more direct disciples who have just entered the cave and become officials can the exchange meeting continue to prosper.

If the exchange Dharma Assembly prospers, Yulou will have more resources for cultivation.

The Five Meridians Dao Foundation Cave Heaven, one million spirit stones, ah.

The road leading to the avenue is very narrow, and Yulou has to work hard to squeeze forward.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect there was such a meaning. Yulou, you are more calculating than me now, okay!"

Wang Xianzhou's face turned red with excitement, but Yulou didn't think it sounded like a compliment.

It's nothing more than the rolling red dust, trying to move forward, but in the end, one's hands are stained with blood.

If you want to fight for resources, it is impossible to divide them according to strength. If you divide them according to strength, all the resources in the world belong to the immortals. Here we are talking about true immortals, not even golden elixirs.

They can only use their own methods within the rules accepted by all parties, and the method used by the Dripping Cave is to give priority to the foundation-building elders in many aspects, and the specific distribution is based on seniority and queues.

It sounds ridiculous, but it works very well in practice and can ensure that no major problems will occur.

What Yulou is doing now is to let it have some minor problems so that he can get more for himself.

"Grandmaster, I will take this as a compliment from you, but I really should come out of seclusion now. Otherwise, when I break through the sixth level of Qi training, I will scare my fellow disciples when I go out again."

The speed of practicing the fifth level in seven years is already terrifying, but if in another two months, Yu Lou's cultivation level breaks through the sixth level, that would be terrifying.

The cultivation path planned for him by Patriarch Xian Zhou was not complicated. He would first cultivate to the sixth level of Qi training in the Dripping Cave, and then let Chu Hongyi give him a task to go to the Red Light Photo Gallery.

By then, Yulou received the mission to go to Hongdengzhao, and under the care of Patriarch Jingyi, he broke through to the late stage, and did not return to the Dripping Cave, but cultivated all the way until the selection of the Immortal Alliance Fighting in thirty years.

Win the selection and join the Immortal Alliance. After joining the Immortal Alliance, immediately build the foundation and become a foundation-building deacon directly under the Immortal Alliance - not a one-time deacon like Wu Jinyan who is a labor dispatch.

At this point, the upper limit of Yulou can be further raised.

If the Mangxiang Golden Elixir fails, then he can take advantage of the Immortal Alliance system to open the Purple Palace.

If the Mangxiang Golden Elixir goes smoothly, you can also choose the opportunity to borrow the Red Light to support the opening of the Purple Mansion.

There is a huge gap between foundation building and purple palace. It is impossible to achieve it by relying solely on yourself.

No matter how much Master Hongli values Yulou, the size of the Dripping Cave is there, and Wang Yulou is not a tyrant in Miaofeng Mountain like Li Haiping of Miaofeng Mountain. His future is not in the Dripping Cave.

As for the Hewan Fishing Port, it can be handed over to Bai Xiaoyu for management. Now Xiaobai and Zhang Xuewu are both disciples of the Bishui Palace, and Lao Zhang went to the Baimao Fishing Port.

After the marriage between Wang Yulou and Lin Ying is completed, his base in Dripping Cave can be expanded to three, Xiangu Cave, Hewan Fishing Port, and Baimao Fishing Port.

"That's fine, that's fine. Long-term seclusion will affect your spiritual heart. It would be good to go out for a walk.

However, what does Lin Mengyao think about your marriage with Lin Ying? He has been dragging it on until now without giving a specific time. "

In two years, Wang Yulou will run away from the Dripping Cave, but the specific date for his wedding with Lin Ying has not yet been set. This matter seems to be a bit anticlimactic.

"This is the news I got from Senior Sister Lin. It may be because the Lin family has not found a suitable small demon-level spiritual bird."

Wang Yulou replied with a strange look on his face.

Small spirit birds from the demon realm that are still young and have the potential to advance are hard to find and very expensive.

He had made this request at the beginning, and Lin Mengyao agreed, so naturally he had to make the arrangement.

But when he couldn't find it for a long time, Lin Mengyao was too embarrassed to say that he would just make do with it for the time being because of his reputation.

As a result, the marriage between Yulou and Senior Sister Lin has been delayed until now.

“If you ask me, now that you are about to leave, you don’t necessarily have to marry Lin Ying.

Yulou, you should think about it yourself. I am not your boss. I am old."

Patriarch Xian Zhou said he was old as he walked away with brisk steps.

Wang Yulou is a very capable protector, and he becomes more and more powerful as he does his job.

But Yulou's eyes were full of worry.

After more than seven years in the Dripping Water Cave, Old Ancestor Xian Zhou has aged seven years and is getting closer and closer to the end of his life.
-
Riding the Red Cardinal to Hewan Port, Yulou landed on the Demon-Controlling Platform.

"Senior Yuque."

"Brother Yulou."

"Jade Tower."

More than two years ago, more than a dozen Wang family members entered the Dripping Water Cave. Some became disciples of the Huachi Palace, and some became disciples of the Qingquan Palace. Yulou's basic plan in the Hewan Fishing Port was completely established.

After chatting with several young Qi-inducing practitioners on duty and asking one of their younger brothers to go find Yu Sheng, Yu Lou entered the mansion.

He planned to go to the quiet room to burn some incense to the Immortal Master's image, but found that Xiao Qin was practicing in the quiet room.

Now, Xiao Qin has reached the peak of Qi Induction and is only one step away from breaking through to Qi Training.

But this step has been blocking her for half a year.

"Husband, are you out of seclusion?" Qin Churan stood up with some surprise when she saw Yulou coming.

Little Qin still looked to be in his twenties. It seemed that Patriarch Zhou had refined a lot of Dingyan Pills and sold them at the exchange ceremony. Qin Churan naturally had a share, and was given two at a time.

Double protection, keep your youth for another hundred years!

"Well, I miss you guys. Don't worry if you can't break through. Take your time and it will come naturally.

Cui Dingyi was able to break through the Qi training stage, so your aptitude of three spiritual roots will naturally not be stuck at this stage. "

Yulou was thinking that if Xiao Qin could break through the Qi training stage within two years, he could arrange for Xiao Qin to skip the Huachi Palace and go directly to the Bishui Palace.

The three palaces in the Dripping Cave are set up to waste the disciples' time and reap their benefits. There is no other meaning.

After Xiao Qin enters the Bishui Palace, she will be assigned a vacant position in the palace, responsible for helping Yulou continue to maintain its influence on the exchange ceremony.

In this way, even if Yulou leaves the Dripping Cave, his power will not collapse.

So, from this point of view, marriage with Lin Ying is a must.

The old man's idea was to look at what was in the pot, but Yulou just wanted to eat what was in the bowl first.

As the couple was being affectionate, a red seal began to emerge, and Yulou loosened her hand, saying helplessly.

"Master, you really value me. After I build my foundation in a few years, I won't have to worry about it anymore."

What's the delay?
Qin Churan said in a gentle voice, somewhat shyly.

"Okay, then Chu Ran will wait for her husband to build his foundation."

After lighting three incense sticks to the Immortal Lord, Yulou asked.

"How's the fishing port's recent revenue?"

Seeing Yulou talking about business, Xiao Qin hurriedly responded.

“All three major tasks are going well.

The population finally broke through 20,000 last month, and there are already more than 700 warriors.

As for spirit fish, the harvest has stabilized at around 35. Considering the current number of fishermen, if they want to catch more, they will have to go deeper into Xiushui Lake, which is very dangerous.

Regarding the prevention of monster attacks, the situation is still the same as what I informed you last month, and there has been no change recently."

Expanding the population means expanding the base.

Increasing the production of spiritual fish means increasing income.

Guarding against monsters is Yulou’s main task, although he doesn’t have to worry too much about it now.

“Chu Ran, you have worked hard in the past few years. Here, keep this bottle of Qi-transforming pills for your future cultivation.

Speaking of which, it was very difficult for me to give you anything in the past. The robes looked nice but were useless and ultimately could not improve your cultivation.

It is used in magic tools but you cannot use it, so you might as well take it to a magic exchange meeting to sell spirit stones.

Now that you are almost able to practice Qi, I will be able to send you things, hahahaha."

When it comes to treating everyone equally, Wang Yulou is still able to do it.

Xiao Qin and Xiao Yu are both close to Yu Lou. If resources permit in the future, Yu Lou even wants to push both of them to the foundation-building stage so that they can continue to assist him.

Wang Yusheng was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. Seeing that Wang Yulou and Qin Churan were chatting, he did not dare to disturb them and stood obediently in the courtyard waiting.

Noticing her brother coming, Yulou called him in.

"Brother Yulou, second sister-in-law." Yu Sheng greeted them stiffly.

Wang Yulou smiled and motioned for him to sit down, then asked.

"How's your practice going recently? Have you achieved the middle stage of the acquired realm?"

Among the dozen or so disciples that Wang sent into the Dripping Water Cave, except for eight who at least had spiritual roots, there were many who had five spotted qi and could not even be considered to have five spiritual roots.

Wang Yusheng is one of them, but what makes him special is that he is Yu'an's younger brother.

Not all children born to immortal cultivators have spiritual roots, and many have five-qi mottled spiritual roots. The special rules of the Dripping Cave allow those with five-qi mottled spiritual roots to have the possibility to practice cultivation.

Chen Luwan and Wang Rongwen did not have high demands. They just hoped that Yulou could lend a hand so that Wang Yusheng could cultivate to the stage of drawing in qi. That would be enough.

Of course, to Yulou, given his relationship with Yu'an, Yusheng was almost like his own brother, so he naturally wouldn't just want Yusheng to draw in the qi.

The Postnatal Realm is a special realm of cultivation in the Dripping Water Cave, which is not affected by the inability to use elixirs. Therefore, Patriarch Xian Zhou has refined many elixirs, spiritual powders, ointments, etc. that can be absorbed by warriors for the five-qi mottled disciples sent by the clan.

"I have accomplished it, but my progress is too fast. I feel like my foundation is not solid."

Wang Yusheng answered nervously.

All the children of the Wang family went to school together in the clan school, but after their spiritual roots were tested, their treatment and status were very different.

This differentiated treatment certainly does not reach the point of indifference and oppression - anyone who dares to do such a thing will be fed to the donkeys, not arranged to feed the donkeys, but fed to the donkeys.

But even without cold eyes, ridicule, and oppression, people themselves will still feel lost and desperate.

Wang Yusheng was sixteen years old when he came to the Dripping Cave. Those three hopeless years shaped his current sensitive and inferior personality, as well as his sad and old face.

“Hahaha, don’t worry. When you return to your innate state, your weak foundation will replenish itself. What you need to do now is to practice with all your might.

Come, take these two red ginsengs and eat them. Don’t let anyone else know. Wang Yu’an will pay for your red ginsengs, but I can’t afford to supply others’ red ginsengs.”

Wang Yulou was actually looking forward to it. When Yu'an, the fool, found out that his brother with five mottled five qi could actually practice with his help, he would kneel in front of him and sing "I have a good brother".

"Thank you, Brother Yulou!"

Wang Yusheng was not polite either. He had tried to be polite before, but was scolded by Yulou twice.

In fact, Yulou now gradually began to appreciate people who eat fiercely. He liked the kind of souls who were unwilling to admit defeat.

Yulou chatted with Yusheng for a few more words and asked about the current situation of Wang’s people in Hewan Port.

At this moment, Yulou looked up at the sky outside the Hewan Fishing Port.

Four flying boats were approaching quickly, with four people, just the same number of people as a squad of the Dongtian Patrol.

What is the Dongtian Patrol doing at Hewan Fishing Port?
He gave a few instructions and then flew up to meet him.

"Why are you here, brothers?"

When asking the question, Yulou had already seen the people clearly. They were indeed all members of the Dongtian Patrol Team. However, what surprised him was that two of them seemed to have a cold attitude.

The other two, one was Wang Yaohai's friend and the other was Ji Yuan's friend, so they naturally treated Yu Lou very well.

"Brother Yuque, after Sect Leader Chu learned about the exchange meeting, he had doubts and sent us to invite you and Brother Wu to Dishuitian to discuss the details."

Yulou's eyes narrowed slightly and she smiled.

"Okay, I have something else to do, can you wait for me for a moment?"

"It should, it should!"
