In the same force, standing on the same side, the relationship between the two unconsciously drew closer.
After discussing the main matters, the two turned to exchange insights on cultivation, sharing some interesting stories from Jiangzhou, and occasionally bursting into hearty laughter.
"Daoist Gu Cheng, I take my leave."
"After I return, Guo will immediately report this matter to Elder Clear Water."
"I believe it won't be long before you will be notified to participate in the alliance ceremony, and the first task will be issued soon."
Unknowingly, dusk had arrived. Guo Poyun put down his teacup and said with a hint of reluctance.
Although his cultivation was still a small realm higher, the other party's understanding of the path of cultivation was profound, often hitting the nail on the head with certain issues, which benefited him greatly.
"Daoist Guo, take care. I, Gu, will await good news."
Liu Yu stood up and cupped his hands, personally escorting Guo Poyun outside his cave dwelling before turning to enter.
At this point, he had officially joined the "Cloth-Clad Alliance," only missing the alliance ceremony.
"Soul Condensing Elixir."
Returning to the small pavilion, Liu Yu quickly tidied up the tea set. Thinking about the newly acquired sixteen spiritual herbs, his heart couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
With these sixteen spiritual herbs and elixirs in hand, he had all the necessary ingredients to refine the "Soul Condensing Elixir."
This meant that he could soon produce this elixir, and his Primordial Spirit and spiritual consciousness would enter a period of rapid growth.
Ever since his spiritual consciousness range had reached one hundred miles, even though he practiced the "art of spirit preservation" every day, progress in terms of his Primordial Spirit was as slow as a turtle.
Once the range of spiritual consciousness reached one hundred and twenty miles, the growth rate became almost imperceptible. If one didn't pay close attention, they would hardly notice any increase.
It seemed that one hundred miles was a boundary; once a golden core cultivator exceeded this limit, no matter how hard they cultivated, the effort would yield little reward.
Even if one practiced spiritual consciousness techniques, surpassing the one hundred miles limit made it difficult for conventional methods to continue yielding growth.
Unless one took a multifaceted approach, practicing spiritual consciousness techniques while also using various spiritual objects to assist.
However, this approach would consume too many resources and energy, only achievable with the true inheritance of a large sect or prominent family.
Fortunately, with the Immortal Abode as his backing, Liu Yu could continue down this path.
"Rumble!"
The stone gate slowly rose, emitting a dull sound.
Liu Yu stepped into the training room, activated the formation, and sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion. The jade bracelet's spiritual light flickered slightly, and dozens of jade boxes appeared around him.
These were all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Soul Condensing Elixir.
Included were two main Thousand-Year Spirit Grass, fifteen important auxiliary herbs of five hundred years, and dozens of ordinary auxiliary herbs under five hundred years.
Looking at the jade boxes surrounding him, a smile appeared on Liu Yu's face. He then closed his eyes, his mind touching the green light points.
In the next moment, a familiar pulling force came, and his Primordial Spirit instantly vanished from his physical body, along with the dozens of jade boxes.
……
It felt like an instant, yet also seemed to last for a long time.
When Liu Yu regained consciousness, he found himself in the Blue Barrier, transformed into a "red giant light ball."
Below was an expanse of red spiritual farmland spanning ten acres, with jade boxes floating around him.
Currently, all the spiritual herbs and elixirs that needed to be accelerated had been fully matured. Even the later collected herbs for the Consolidation Yuan Pill and Azure Void Elixir had been accelerated and stored adequately.
