Chapter 696: Retire after success

"Whizzing"

Under the setting sun, a group of people flew from afar and slowly approached the Zixia Mountains.

"This is the "Holy Land for Loose Cultivators"?"

The green light suddenly disappeared, and Liu Yu looked far into the distance.

I saw a stretch of mountains in the distance, with streaks of escaping light rising and falling, moving leisurely through the mountains.

Either in twos or threes, or alone.

Even the relatively rare "spiritual ships", there were dozens of them coming in and out at a glance, it was very lively.

Pieces of ancient buildings are looming in the major spiritual mountains, and all kinds of monks are active among them, full of human fireworks.

Here, there is no need to worry about the pursuit of Qianting Holy Land for the time being, it is like a paradise.

Looking at the thousands of spiritual mountains, "Zixia Mountain" is the most majestic, reaching an astonishing height of four thousand feet.

It is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, standing firm between heaven and earth, giving people full confidence.

Liu Yu's keen spiritual sense can clearly sense countless strong or weak auras, ranging from Qi refining to Nascent Soul cultivation.

"So many casual cultivators gathered here."

“It is worthy of being the “Holy Land of Casual Cultivators”.

"Let's go."

After observing silently for a while, Liu Yu smiled slightly and said to Zhuo Mengzhen.

After saying this, Dunguang moved and continued to fly forward. It didn't take long before he officially entered the "Purple Cloud Mountains".

"Whizzing"

With the identity tokens of the Buyi League, Liu Yu and the others easily entered the Zixia Mountains without encountering any obstruction.

And he rented a third-level cave house on the fourth-level "Hongxia Mountain" and quickly settled down here.

At the golden elixir stage, they can be regarded as well-known masters among casual cultivators, so the three of them did not encounter the legendary "dog's eyes look down on others", and everything went smoothly.

…

Time flies and one year passes quickly.

"Staff, I want two bottles of "Qi Lian Powder" this time!"

A bearded Foundation-Building monk quickly walked into an antique shop and shouted loudly to the clerk from a distance.

This store is called "Jade Pill Hall" and it is a newly opened store that mainly sells pills.

Because the price is right, in just one year, it has already gained quite a reputation among several nearby Lingshan Mountains, and basically has no worries about the number of customers.

"Okay, senior, please wait a moment. Two bottles of "Qi Lian Powder" will arrive shortly."

The clerk, who was only in the Qi Refining realm, had a very enthusiastic attitude. After speaking, he immediately went to the back room to inform the foundation manager.

Shop assistants like him are only responsible for accompanying customers and informing them of elixir prices, efficacy and other information when customers inquire.

Although Qi Lian Powder has the word "Qi Lian" in it, it is actually a second-level elixir, which is just right to take during the foundation building period.

There is a saying that "refining the essence to transform Qi, refining Qi to restore spirit".

The two realms of qi refining and foundation building are still in the category of "refining qi", so there is nothing wrong with calling it "qi refining powder".

However, it is quite normal for monks who do not understand it to mistakenly think it is a first-order elixir.

"The owner of "Yudan Tang" is really amazing. In less than a year since the store opened, it has already become famous in Hongxia Mountain."

"It is rumored that the establishment of this store affected the business of other elixir stores, but it was easily resolved by its owner."

"Afterwards, I don't dare to cause trouble to Jade Pill Hall again."

During the short waiting time, Bearded Beard Zhuji glanced around, taking stock of the situation in the Jade Pill Hall.

After a quick glance, he found that among the guests coming and going, there were five or six foundation-building monks alone, and more than a dozen Qi-refining monks. It was a prosperous business scene.

The person was not kept waiting for long, and soon the Foundation Establishment Manager walked out of the back room, greeted him politely and handed over two bottles of "Qi Lian Powder".

Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. In just a few words, a transaction is concluded.

On the third floor of Yudan Hall, Zhang Yi looked at the prosperous business of the shop and couldn't help but nodded lightly with great satisfaction.

Then he walked towards the fourth floor of the store to report some situations to Master.

Liu Yu also thought carefully about opening a store.

After arriving in the Zixia Mountains, he found that the environment here was very suitable for cultivation. As a very large gathering place for immortal cultivators, the resources for cultivating immortals here were also very rich.

Although it cannot be compared with "Shenjing", it is enough to meet the current needs. Moreover, as a "sacred place for casual cultivators", the management is much looser than that of Shenjing, and you can come and go freely.

After careful consideration, Liu Yu planned to stay in the Zixia Mountains for a long time to practice.

By opening a shop, you can sell elixirs openly and openly, without having to be secretive.

There are more spiritual stones in his hand than ordinary monks, so there is a reasonable explanation.

Second, you can collect various spiritual herbs openly. After all, it is normal for alchemists to collect spiritual herbs for use in elixir making.

With the support of the Purple Scarf Army, the Buyi League and other people from all walks of life, Liu Yu successfully solved the challenge of building a store and got his own piece of cake, which was regarded as a foundation under the Zixia Mountains.

Just like before, he first made a few batches of low-level elixirs by himself to gain a reputation. After that, he basically left the refining of first- and second-level elixirs to the recruited low-level alchemists.

Liu Yu has refined the third-level high-grade elixir with a success rate of over 30%. It can be said that he is qualified to become an "alchemy master".

With his alchemy skills that were close to those of a master, coupled with the price not lower than the market price, and his promise to provide guidance on alchemy every two years, he easily recruited several low-level alchemists.

From then on, Liu Yu took his hand away and only occasionally asked about the situation of Yudan Hall.

The day-to-day management is left to the shopkeeper recruited during the foundation building period.

As for his direct disciple Zhang Yi, he is responsible for supervising the work to avoid the private use of public tools.

After all, when he reached the Golden Elixir realm, he needed to accumulate more mana, and he didn't have that much energy to keep paying attention to mundane things.

The same is true for Zhuo Mengzhen.

Only when there are golden elixir customers, will this woman personally come to entertain them.

As the hostess of the "Jade Pill Hall", coupled with her own mid-stage Golden Pill cultivation, and her background in the "Buyi Alliance", most Golden Pill monks have to be polite.

Day-to-day management is carried out by the recruited foundation-building monks, while Zhuo Mengzhen and Zhang Yi are responsible for entertaining high-level monks, supervising the daily operations of the Jade Pill Hall, and checking in every once in a while.

In this way, Liu Yu completely freed up her hands, focused most of her energy on cultivation, and became a hands-off shopkeeper responsible for collecting spiritual stones.

Only occasionally when I'm in a good mood, I refine a few batches of third-level elixir.

After all, the spiritual grass used to refine third-level elixirs is relatively rare. It would obviously be abnormal if there were too many of them on the market.

During the trip to the Black Mountain Immortal Prison, after killing nine golden elixir guards and disposing of the loot, Liu Yu was not short of spiritual stones, so naturally he was not in a hurry to sell the elixirs.

As long as the spiritual stones satisfy daily cultivation, he is not blindly pursuing the increase of spiritual stones.

…

"Dong dong"

Arriving at the fourth floor of Jade Pill Hall, Zhang Yi knocked on the door on the left, then lowered his hands and waited quietly.

"Come in."

Soon, a calm and indifferent voice came from the room.

"Squeak"

"Disciple Zhang Yi, pay homage to Master!"

After gently opening the door and closing it, Zhang Yi walked quickly to the desk, then bowed and saluted.

"Um."

Liu Yu nodded gently, motioned for him to sit aside, and then asked:

"Is there anything unusual in the store lately?"

He only occasionally went to the Jade Pill Hall to deliver a few bottles of third-level elixirs, and usually stayed in the cave to practice.

"Master, everything in the store is currently normal and nothing unusual has happened."

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and then quickly replied.

"But Senior Guo sent someone to inform him that he will visit Master again in three days."

After hesitating for a while, he continued to speak.

This is already the second visit this month and the fifth visit this year. Zhang Yi can vaguely guess what Guo Poyun means.

However, regarding the affairs of the Purple Turban Army and the Commoner League, Liu Yu had no intention of involving this son.

The cultivation level in the foundation building period is still too low, and it is insignificant in any organization. In addition to daily practice, Zhang Yi only helps to look around the store.

"Um."

Taking a sip of the spirit tea, Liu Yu nodded thoughtfully.

Immediately, he began to guide Zhang Yi in his cultivation and answer some of his questions about his cultivation.

Taking people's money to do things for others, he Liu has always been an innocent child.

Therefore, when it comes to giving guidance on cultivation these years, I have not casually dealt with it. The cultivation problems encountered by this disciple can basically be answered.

After all, if Tianlinggen qualifications are well cultivated, they will be a powerful help in the future.

As the first direct disciple, Liu Yu passed on the "Qingyang Kung" after much thought.

Let Zhang Yi make a choice between teaching the exercises at home and "Qingyang Gong".

There is no doubt that the Zhang family, as a god-transforming family that has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, will not lack techniques that can directly transform into gods. It has a higher limit and is more mature than the "Qingyang Kung".
