Chapter 1 Phnom Penh Flowers
A gust of fragrant wind blew, and the hundred acres of flower fields swayed from near to far with bursts of golden waves, like a golden ocean.
In the fertile field, there is a nameless golden yellow pentagonal flower, the edge of the petal is dyed with a circle of gold, like a circle of gold dust, shining in the sun, the person who is shaking is dazzled, but he can't help but want to see it, it is so beautiful.
Squinting at the blooming gold-edged flowers, Liu Yu was in a very comfortable mood. I couldn't help but say silently: "It's finally the end."
After a year of careful care, there was no major mistake, and it was time to say goodbye to this sea of flowers. Although these days are a little lonely and hard, smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, I can't help but feel a little gratified.
Liu Yu was an ordinary disciple of Huang Shengzong, who was a well-known cultivator and the overlord of the Yunzhou Cultivation Realm. The masters in the sect are like clouds, and there are even real people in the Jindan period who sit in the array, with strong strength, and the sect has been established for thousands of years.
Countless cultivators tried their best to worship the Yellow Holy Sect. However, the acceptance of disciples by the Yellow Saint Sect was extremely harsh, and only a few people with superior talents would be allowed to join the sect to practice and become disciples of the Yellow Saint Sect.
Liu Yu's qualifications for cultivating immortals are extremely ordinary, and being fortunate enough to become a disciple of Huang Shengzong can only be said to be lucky.
Liu Yu's grandfather was also a cultivator, named Liu Li. In his early years, Liu Li was just an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, who pressed darts for the family dart bureau and was a capable dart master.
By chance, I got a book of cultivation secrets, and I succeeded in cultivating without the guidance of a master. Although the cultivation is extremely low, it can be regarded as embarking on the path of cultivating immortals from then on.
Liu Li was a strong-willed person, he was in his early thirties at the time, and he resolutely left his wife and children at home to wander around, seeking that ethereal opportunity. Several of them encountered life-threatening fears, went through all kinds of dangers, but still found nothing.
It wasn't until the year of knowing his fate that he returned home, and he was disheartened, so he adopted his heart and accepted his fate to enjoy his old age.
The chance is so wonderful, Liu Li, who returned home to help with the darts, once darts late at night, when passing through a barren mountain and old forest, he actually rescued the monk "Zhang Wuxin" who was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread.
It turned out that when Zhang Wuxin killed an enemy, he was seriously injured by the enemy's deathly blow. On the way back to the sect, he suddenly suffered an attack and lost his mana, falling from mid-air, and if it weren't for the magic weapon to protect his body, he would have fallen into a meat pie on the spot.
But he was so badly injured that he couldn't move, and soon a beast came smelling blood. Zhang Wuxin saw the beast pounce, and the body protection magic weapon was damaged and he couldn't raise a trace of mana, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
At this time, Liu Li suddenly appeared and killed the beast and saved Zhang Wuxin, who was desperate.
After Zhang Wuxin's injury stabilized, in order to repay the grace of saving his life. Not only did he give Liu Li a large number of spirit stones and pills, but he also left an extremely precious Huangmen Order.
Inform Liu Li that if his descendants carry this order, they will arrive at Huang Shengzong. If you are within the age of ten and have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, you can worship the Yellow Saint Sect and become a disciple of the Yellow Saint Sect.
When Liu Li was wandering outside, he had already heard of Huang Shengzong's fame, and he was overjoyed.
Liu Yu's father's generation had a total of three brothers, the younger three, and soon received Liu Li's death order, that is, to work hard to create people.
Liu Li had many grandchildren after a few years, but they were all mortals with physical bodies and no qualifications for cultivating immortals. Liu Li's mood became heavy day by day, and his temper was also very irritable, and he didn't have a good face for his three sons on weekdays, but he was sad to death for his three brothers.
Until Liu Yu was born, Liu Li was ecstatic, as if he had been reborn. Liu Yu has the qualification of cultivating immortals, to put it bluntly, he has a spiritual root, and with a spiritual root, he can absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to practice. The spiritual root is still born, and there is one in ten thousand. Only one in tens of thousands of people has it, which is very rare.
If you don't have a spiritual root, it's a delusion, and there's no way to do it in the world today. Only in ancient times there were occasional rumors that someone changed their lives against the sky, but many of them were not credible.
Hundreds of acres of fertile land are planted with golden-edged flowers, which is a very precious elixir, in fact, it should be called gold-edged grass. Phnom Penh grass does not bloom until it grows for at least fifty years, and when the petals are in full bloom and mature, the petals are plucked immediately, not waiting for it to bear fruit.
One is that the fruit has no medicinal value, and what is needed is petals, and the other is that the Phnom Penh grass will wither after fruiting. Only by picking all the petals will the flowers bloom again the next year.
Like most elixirs, the higher the number of years the Phnom Penh grass grows, the better the anthers will be produced. This large piece of golden-edged grass of Huang Shengzong has grown for more than 500 years, which is very rare and very rare.
The preciousness of the Phnom Penh flower lies in the fact that it is the main raw material for refining the second-grade elixir "Jin Yuan San", which is a good medicine for cultivation in the middle stage of Qi training, especially for monks with gold spiritual roots, and the effect is very significant after taking it. A small bottle of Jin Yuansan is worth more than a hundred spirit stones, and it is often in short supply in the market, and the price often rises to a higher level.
Liu Yu calmed down, sat cross-legged in the middle of the flower field, and disappeared into the flowers as if his body was submerged in a golden ocean. Seal your hands, mobilize your own mana, skillfully transport the "Wood Qi Nourishing Technique", and moisturize the gold-edged flowers around you.
The "Wood Qi Cultivation Technique" is very simple for cultivators who have a wood-based spiritual root. The effect is only to attract the scattered wood aura around the flower field and gather quickly, so that the golden-edged flowers are bathed in a higher concentration of wood aura for better growth.
Liu Yu himself has a wood spirit root, he is a three-line miscellaneous spirit root cultivator, and he also contains a golden spirit root and an earth spirit root, and his immortal cultivation qualifications are very ordinary. Unlike other fellow disciples in the sect, most of them have dual spirit roots, or even better single spirit roots. The single spirit root is also known as the heavenly spirit root, which means that the blessing is deep and the meaning of the darling of the sky.
The more single the spiritual root of an immortal cultivator, the purer his qualifications, the faster his cultivation speed, and the better the effect, which is well known in the cultivation world.
The regulations on the acceptance of disciples by Huang Shengzong stipulate that the minimum qualification is the double spirit root, so if you want to enter Huang Shengzong, you must have good qualifications. Of course, there are still some disciples who hold the Yellow Gate Order like Liu Yu, or enter through the back door for other reasons, but the number is very small.
Liu Yu had to cast spells on time every day to take care of the flower fields, once in the morning and once in the evening, and run the "Wood Qi Nourishing Yuan Technique" for two hours each time.
Although the "Wood Qi Nourishing Yuan Technique" is simple to cast, it consumes a lot of energy after a long time, and at the same time, it also delays one's own cultivation time. But this is the task assigned by the sect, and Liu Yu has to treat it carefully, only hoping to complete the task as soon as possible.
The Yellow Holy Sect has a rule: All Qi cultivation stage disciples who have reached the fourth level of Qi cultivation must go to the Yellow Sun Hall to accept the task of the sect.
Of course, the sect will not let the disciples work in vain, when completing the sect task, according to the difficulty of completing the task, not only will an appropriate amount of contribution points be rewarded, but also a variety of cultivation materials, such as elixirs, elixirs, spells, etc.
Contribution points can be very rare, and if you accumulate a certain amount, you can exchange them for various precious items in the Yellow Sun Palace.
For example, a first-grade magic weapon Qingguang Sword is sold for about 500 spirit stones in the market, as long as you accumulate 200 contribution points, you can go to the Yellow Sun Hall to exchange for a Qingguang Sword, which shows the value of contribution points.
The most attractive thing to Liu Yu is the "Foundation Building Dan", after the Qi cultivation period cultivators reach the tenth level of Qi cultivation and the Great Perfection, they will be promoted to become a foundation building period monk. If you want to advance to the foundation building period, you must build the foundation Dan. Without the assistance of Tsukidan, it can be said that it is a fool's dream to want to directly advance to the foundation building period.
Of course, if Fuxing Gaozhao can find the treasures of the ancient world, such as: Ten Thousand Years Nine Songs Xuanshen, then it is another matter. But this is even more of an impossible thing to fish for the moon in the water.
Liu Yu was taken to the Huang Shengzong at the age of seven and began to cultivate the path of immortals. He studied hard and devoted himself to cultivation until he was sixteen years old and reached the fourth level of Qi training. The cultivation speed is really average, and this is also thanks to his grandfather Liu Li, who brought him spirit stones and pills from time to time for him to cultivate.
At the same time, the junior brothers who started at the same time, because of their superior qualifications, their cultivation reached the fourth level of qi cultivation early. But Liu Yu did not feel discouraged because of his slow cultivation, and he still felt very fortunate in his heart.
Because the rules of the Yellow Saint Sect have an order: all disciples of the Yellow Saint Sect who have not reached the fourth level of Qi cultivation before the age of eighteen will be expelled from the sect.
Liu Yu's former friend was named Ai Yuanmu, who started more than ten days earlier than Liu Yu, but he was two years older than him, and like him, he was fortunate to become a disciple in the sect with the Yellow Gate Order, and he was also a three-line miscellaneous spirit root. Because the two of them were in the same situation, and they were both discriminated against by other disciples, they became good friends.
Two years ago, because his cultivation did not reach the fourth level of Qi cultivation, he was forcibly expelled from the sect. Liu Yu will never forget the scene under the sunset, Ai Yuanmu walked down the mountain step by step with tears in his eyes, walking extremely difficult, and falling down from time to time, looking so helpless.
Liu Yu had never seen Ai Yuanmu cry before, he was very hearty on weekdays, and he didn't care about anything. But that time, Ai Yuanmu fell to the ground and cried, digging his hands into the dirt on the ground, kowtowing to the steward of the sect and begging him to continue to practice in the sect. In the end, he was put up by the law enforcement disciples and carried down Huang Shengshan.
Whenever she thought of the scene at that time, Liu Yu couldn't help but cry and felt extremely sad. During the cultivation days with Ai Yuanmu, he was like a big brother, taking care of himself, and was Liu Yu's only best friend in Huangsheng Mountain. Liu Yu knew that Ai Yuanmu cultivated harder than him, but he had one less good grandfather than himself.
If it weren't for the spirit stones sent by his grandfather from time to time, he would have been expelled from the sect like Ai Yuanmu. So since then, Liu Yu cherished it even more, redoubled his efforts, and his Dao heart became more and more firm.
Liu Yu's assigned task was to take care of this large piece of Phnom Penh grass for a year until the Phnom Penh grass bloomed. After the sect sends someone to harvest the ripe gold-edged flowers, the task will be completed.
In this mission, not only will you be rewarded with 100 contribution points, but you can also get 10 spirit stones, which is quite rewarding. It's just that this task took a little longer, but the contribution points obtained from completing the sect task in the first two years were only more than 90 points together. At that time, the tasks received from the sect were all short-term, and the rewards were very low.
You must know that in exchange for a Tsukidan, it costs 5,000 contribution points in the Yellow Sun Temple, and at the current rate of obtaining contribution points, it will not be able to be exchanged until fifty years later. Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt a headache, patted his clothes, stood up to end this spell, and slowly walked to the thatched house not far away, intending to rest for a while.
On weekdays, Liu Yu lives in this simple thatched house, taking care of the flower field, and this has been the case for nearly a whole year.
Yunzhou is located in the corner of the Eastern Yuan mainland, close to the Tiannan Sea, with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. The temperature is moderate, there is light rain from time to time, and it is still a good place to escape the heat and spend the winter.
The terrain is flat, mostly plains, of which small hills are the majority, only the northern edge of the uplift of a majestic mountain, named Huangsheng. The whole mountain is like a pillar of heaven, reaching into the sky, and you can see it thousands of miles away.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there were immortals living on the mountain. There is no way to verify whether there are immortals living in it, but there is a great sect of cultivating immortals on the mountain, and most people in the world know about it.
Liu Yu walked forward slowly, shaking a small green cloth bag in his hand. The small road is paved with the first steps of the entire bluestone, and the surface of the bluestone is covered with moss in many places, and there are nameless grass growing in the gaps. There are towering trees standing upright next to the path, and the mid-afternoon sun is blocked by the dense foliage, and no trace of it shines in.
With a light breeze, Liu Yu looked very comfortable.
A few days ago, after the Phnom Penh flowers were ripe, the sect sent someone to pick them, and the sect task was completed. Just now to the Huangri Hall handover, because of Liu Yu's careful care, the quality of the golden-edged flowers is very high, and the harvest is better than in previous years.
Therefore, the task completion is rated as excellent. With the original task reward unchanged, Liu Yu was given an extra bag of Phnom Penh grass seeds.
Although Liu Yu didn't have time to plant, he took it to the market to sell it, and it was also a spirit stone. Liu Yu was about to visit his master Tang Hao, a monk in the early stage of foundation building. Because of the delay in the mission of the sect, I didn't go to see him for some time, and out of etiquette, I had to go forward to ask for peace, and I also had to ask his old man for advice if I had some questions about my practice.
Huang Shengzong has been inherited for thousands of years and has flourished for thousands of years, and you can get a glimpse of it from its rigorous, orthodox, and responsible missionary system. The disciples below the fourth level of Qi cultivation in the sect all live in the Chuyuan Hall at the foot of the mountain, and all aspects of life are taken care of by special personnel, so they can study and practice with peace of mind.
After Liu Yu entered the school at the age of seven, he also lived in the Chuyuan Palace. Every day, I have to go to various universities to study, literacy, Bible reading, physical building, etc., for more than ten hours.
Knowing dozens of ancient texts, reading all kinds of obscure ancient scriptures, once a day soaking in a medicinal bath is to build the body, but the taste is not good, every time after soaking in the medicinal bath, the whole body is red, as if the skin of the whole body is going to fall off.
In the first three years, the sect will not teach any cultivation of the Fa, only some basic knowledge, and there will be an assessment, and those who fail will continue to study until they pass the assessment.
After I started to practice the Fa Decision, it was also easy to difficult. Read more and more ancient scriptures, and the content is becoming more and more profound, and at the same time, you must practice the secrets of martial arts in the world. Until the cultivation reaches the fourth level of Qi cultivation and passes the test of the sect, you can worship a monk in the foundation building period of the sect as a teacher.
Huang Shengzong's teachings on the cultivation of new disciples are accumulated, and most of the disciples of famous and upright sects are also like this. Although there are differences, they are just the same, and they are all aimed at better cultivating new disciples and laying a good foundation for cultivation.
