Chapter 103: Goodbye Qiushui
It is worth mentioning that the uniforms issued to the inner and outer sect disciples of the Yuan Yang Sect are just ordinary clothes and not magical robes, although the fabric is of good quality.
Back when he was in Cold Moon City, Liu Yu had instructed Chai Wenzheng to arrange for a tailor to make dozens of sets, all of which were stored in his storage bag.
Upon arriving at the training room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion and took out a jade vial from his storage bag. He uncapped the vial and poured out an Azure Spirit Pill.
As he placed the pill in his mouth, he closed his eyes, allowing his magical power to circulate along the route of the wood spirit technique, refining the medicinal power and starting his daily cultivation.
Two hours later, Liu Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air, opened his eyes, and felt a slight smile on his face as he sensed he was not far from progressing in his cultivation. At the current pace, it would take about a year to reach full circle of qi refinement.
Since the time Liu Yu began refining elixirs in the Immortal Abode, he has always focused on solidifying his foundation and purifying his magical power, rather than blindly pursuing rapid advancement.
Although the magical power refined from pills accumulates more quickly without grinding, it undoubtedly weakens the foundation, which is detrimental to future cultivation.
Liu Yu's goal is not merely foundation establishment, so he would never engage in such practices that harm the roots; otherwise, he might have reached full circle of qi refinement long ago.
The purer the magical power becomes, the easier it is for gaseous magical power to transform into liquid magical power, hence the chances of successful foundation establishment increase.
However, this would undoubtedly slow down the cultivation speed by about thirty percent, which is one of the reasons why high-level cultivators in sects and families outnumber loose cultivators. After all, most loose cultivators have mediocre spiritual root aptitude, and with scarce resources, their progress is already slow, leaving them no time to carefully hone their skills despite knowing it would be detrimental to their future advancement.
Liu Yu did not continue to practice the art of spirit preservation or any other techniques. A month is neither long nor short; if one isn't careful, it can pass in the blink of an eye. Since he had decided to establish his foundation quickly, it was time to prepare for it.
With this in mind, Liu Yu stood up, opened the formation of his cave dwelling, and flew towards Greenwood Peak on the Blood-drinking Blade.
He currently has fourteen hundred sect contribution points, which is still eleven hundred points short of the twenty-five hundred needed to exchange for a foundation establishment pill. Gathering such a large amount of contribution points through private transactions with fellow disciples is not an easy task.
Liu Yu usually keeps a low profile and is quite the hermit in the cultivation world, not knowing many people within the sect. It would not be easy for him to accomplish this task alone.
However, it's not a problem; there is one person who has a wide network, and with her help, it would be much easier to get this done, and that person is—Jiang Qiushui.
He just didn’t know if she had been dispatched to the front lines and whether she was currently in the sect. The two of them could only be considered somewhat familiar since they hadn't been in contact over the past five years, and Liu Yu wasn't sure of her whereabouts.
However, even if this girl couldn't help him, Liu Yu has a backup option, which is Senior Brother Qian.
Senior Brother Qian is the biological son of an elder in the foundation establishment stage. He has connections and channels to get tasks that involve allocation of resources, but given his personality, he would surely demand a high price, and the costs would undoubtedly be much higher.
Liu Yu flew at full speed on the Blood-drinking Blade and arrived at Greenwood Peak in about an hour.
