Chapter 142 The Goal of Setting Sail
Lu Yu kept running the Nine-turn Nirvana Art to separate the black water droplets from the Red Lotus Cyclone, but every time he relaxed, he failed again, and the two fell into a long battle.
After hundreds of attempts, Lu Yu suddenly made an amazing discovery.
In fact, this strange black bead itself is not aggressive. Rather than saying that it is attached to the Red Lotus Cyclone, it is better to say that the Red Lotus Cyclone actively attracted it.
Why does the Red Lotus Cyclone attract it? What is the relationship between the two?
Following this line of thought, Lu Yu soon made a new discovery.
Originally, after swallowing the Nine Yang True Water, Lu Yu's Red Lotus Cyclone already had the power of true fire, which is the attribute of extreme yang.
As the saying goes, solitary yin cannot grow, solitary yang cannot be born. Due to its own nature of development and growth, the Red Lotus Cyclone has been seeking external forces to neutralize this extremely yang attribute, but this extremely yang attribute comes from swallowing the Nine Yang True Water. Ordinary things cannot compete with it, and the purpose of neutralizing the two cannot be achieved at all.
Until this mysterious black bead appeared.
Although Lu Yu could not figure out its origin, at least he was sure of one thing, that this black bead was a very yin and very soft thing, and its power was no less than that of the very hard and very yang Nine Yang True Water, otherwise it would not have been possible to keep the same form under the continuous refining of the power of the true fire.
This discovery made Lu Yu very happy.
Since this black bead has such properties, it means that he can achieve the effect of condensing the power of the true water by refining it, just like swallowing the Nine Yang True Water under the stream, completing the second step of gasification of the five elements!
This is really great news!
Originally, Lu Yu had no clue, and didn't know where to find a treasure comparable to the Nine Yang True Water to let the Red Lotus Cyclone condense the other five elements. Unexpectedly, such a very yin and very soft thing would be delivered to the door on its own initiative. This is really a no-brainer.
Now, it is even more impossible for Lu Yu to tell Fang Haoran and the others about the existence of the black bead in his body.
However, it is not a simple matter to achieve the purpose of condensing the power of true water by refining this black bead. At least with Lu Yu's current strength, it is impossible to do it.
"It seems that the cultivation of the third level of the True Yuan Realm is still unable to condense the power of true water, so it can't do anything about it for the time being."
"As long as the cultivation continues to improve and the red lotus cyclone continues to grow, it will be a matter of course to completely refine it and condense the power of true water."
After thinking this through, Lu Yu's mind was at peace, and the haze in his heart was swept away.
Since this is the case, then his next goal is clear, that is, to continue to improve his cultivation.
And improving cultivation requires a lot of resources. For the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Sutra he practiced, this resource gap can only be described as terrifying.
So, to put it more directly, his next goal is only one, that is to make money and accumulate resources!
Lu Yu walked out of the secret room for cultivation.
There was no trace of Yang Chudie in Mingjing Garden, only the maid Chu Hongling was alone in the garden.
Lu Yu talked to her for a few words, and then he realized that seven days had passed since he woke up last time.
During these seven days, Yang Chudie had been attending the meeting convened by the Elders' Council at Wulao Peak. It was obvious that the series of problems caused by the Xiaolitian Secret Realm incident were far from over.
"I didn't expect that you have reached another level after just a few days of not seeing you. You are indeed worthy of being the person that Miss Chudie favors. I am afraid that only Miss Yudie can match such an outstanding talent."
Chu Hongling looked straight at Lu Yu and praised him sincerely.
Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by her praise. This time, his cultivation level was raised to the third level of the True Yuan Realm, which was entirely the result of the generous help of the True Elders, and had nothing to do with talent.
Moreover, Yang Yudie was a True Master. After this trip to the Xiaolitian Secret Realm, Lu Yu had a clear understanding of the power of True Masters. He also personally experienced how terrifying the power of True Masters was. Compared with him now, it was simply the difference between the bright moon and the firefly.
Therefore, Lu Yu knew clearly that he was far inferior to Jade Butterfly Master, who was once a famous figure in the Dali Sword Sect.
"Sister Hongling, do you know what kind of person Jade Butterfly Master is?" Lu Yu asked curiously.
"What kind of person is Miss Jade Butterfly..."
Chu Hongling's eyes showed a look of reminiscence. After pondering for a long time, she suddenly smiled.
"Miss Jade Butterfly is a ghost, a little willful and willful. She is a hundred times more difficult to deal with than Miss Chu Die when she is serious."
Lu Yu was stunned.
He originally just asked casually, and he didn't expect to get such an answer from Chu Hongling.
Originally, in his mind, Jade Butterfly Master should be a lofty and extremely powerful iceberg beauty. It was really difficult for him to overlap the image of Jade Butterfly Master in his mind with the image described by Chu Hongling.
Lu Yu chatted with Chu Hongling for a few words and planned to leave Mingjing Garden.
Unexpectedly, Chu Hongling suddenly said, "Where is the young master going? Miss Chudie ordered me to follow the young master from now on. Wherever the young master goes, I will go there too."
Lu Yu was surprised: "Why did the master ask you to follow me?"
"Miss Chudie said that after the young master comes out of retreat, he will prepare to do something big and he must have someone to send him around, so she asked me to follow the young master and do what he tells me to do." Chu Hongling replied.
Lu Yu suddenly realized what Yang Chudie meant.
Chu Hongling had a special status and was almost equivalent to Yang Chudie's incarnation on Yudie Peak. She asked Chu Hongling to obey her orders, which was equivalent to handing over all the resources of Yudie Peak to her.
From this moment on, not only were all the resources of Yudie Peak used by him, but no one in the entire peak would question his orders, such as asking all disciples to stop practicing and learn the art of alchemy.
This matter related to the future and fate of a disciple would be difficult to accomplish with Lu Yu's personal reputation without Chu Hongling's presence.
"In that case, then you follow me and we will start to do this big thing!" Lu Yu nodded happily.
So Chu Hongling followed Lu Yu and left Mingjing Garden.
The two walked briskly along the way without disturbing anyone, and came directly to a separate courtyard in the front mountain, which was the area where the inner disciples lived.
The first person Lu Yu wanted to find was not Qi Yunkai, Baozi and other members of the elite team, but Fang Qian, who was passionate about alchemy.
After a while, the two came to Fang Qian's residence.
At this time, the yard where Fang Qian lived had changed a lot. The various materials that were originally piled up were gone. Obviously, during the time when Lu Yu was away, the warehouse specially used to store materials had been built, and all the materials had been moved there.
Lu Yu walked into the yard, and did not find Fang Qian inside or outside the house. The alchemy room next to it was also empty.
Lu Yu couldn't help but wonder. Fang Qian loved alchemy. Usually, he stayed in the house to study the art of alchemy when he had time. How could he suddenly disappear?
Did he go to compete with others in alchemy again? But if you count the days, today is not the day when Yuanjiang Market opens!
Lu Yu was very puzzled and was about to go out to find someone to ask.
Just at this moment, a loud roar came from a nearby courtyard. Judging from the sound, it seemed to be Fang Qian.
