Chapter 182: Visitors from the Sect (Combined Chapter)
After two months of cultivating and understanding the cultivation techniques, the next step involved practicing magical artifacts and spells, converting cultivation into strength.
Time flew by, and yet the Elder Council of Moonlit City had not sent any task notifications.
Liu Yu didn’t overthink it; instead, he remained calm and observed the situation. In any case, it was impossible for him to be sent to his death—if the time came, he could always flee.
He was particularly interested in the “blood offering escape” technique obtained from the White-bearded Elder.
The cost of this secret technique was not small, but its principles were very simple, allowing even qi refinement cultivators to use it. Over the past two months, Liu Yu had fully comprehended the technique.
With a task possibly arriving at any moment, it was imperative to learn this life-saving secret technique as quickly as possible.
Now that he had completely grasped the technique, Liu Yu took out the spiritual herbs needed to refine the “Blood Recovery Elixir” from his Immortal Abode. He planned to start practicing “blood offering escape” as soon as the elixir was finished.
The refinement difficulty of the Blood Recovery Elixir was comparable to that of the Vitality Pill, but much simpler than the Azure Origin Pill. With Liu Yu’s success rate of thirty-five percent in refining the Vitality Pill, he believed that his initial success rate for the Blood Recovery Elixir wouldn’t be too low.
All the spiritual herbs required for refining the Blood Recovery Elixir cost about twenty spiritual stones to mature a batch. He spent six hundred spiritual stones to mature enough for thirty portions of spiritual herbs.
He refined five batches each day, consuming all thirty portions in six days, successfully producing three batches that yielded twenty-three Blood Recovery Elixirs.
Watching the final batch of Blood Recovery Elixir fail, Liu Yu expressionlessly cleaned the impurities from the Yellow Mysterious Cauldron, then rinsed it with clean water before storing it away.
Now that the Blood Recovery Elixir was ready, it was time to begin practicing the blood offering escape.
Liu Yu opened his door and entered the practice room, sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion, arranging the flying artifacts suitable for escape in front of him.
“Li Xuan Sword,” “Mother-Child Soul Pursuing Blade,” “Pink Seal,” “Golden Steel Banner,” “Sharp Gold Sword,” “Radiant Gold Bow.”
He also had the “Black Iron Chain” and “Yellow Earth Wheel” seized from the White-bearded Elder. After two months, these two artifacts had already been refined and marked with spiritual consciousness imprints.
These were all of Liu Yu’s supreme magical artifacts and Superior Spiritual Artifacts. Of course, he had other magical artifacts, but those of medium or low quality could not compare with the supreme ones. Even with the blood offering escape, their speed would only be comparable to the supreme artifacts at best, making them somewhat useless.
Gazing at the eight artifacts and spiritual artifacts in front of him, Liu Yu fell into deep thought.
Among them, the speed of the Superior Spiritual Artifact, Li Xuan Sword, undoubtedly surpassed many supreme magical artifacts, but it was also his most powerful weapon for combat. Regularly using it could scatter its internal blood essence if he infused it with his blood.
He certainly couldn’t waste such a rare Superior Spiritual Artifact just to prepare for a retreat. That would be throwing away the essentials for the trivial.
Thus, he ruled out the Li Xuan Sword and any other magical artifacts he needed for regular combat.
Liu Yu’s gaze flickered between several supreme magical artifacts until it finally settled on the Sharp Gold Sword.
The reason for this choice was simple: aside from being specially forged, flying swords and flying knives generally had a slightly faster escape speed compared to other magical artifacts.
