From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 305 After Coming Out of Seclusion
The Great Alchemist's Mansion, the training room.

Yu Shuyang opened the magic circle from the inside. He didn't know how long he would be in seclusion, but he gained a lot this time.

Not only did he sacrifice and refine the Dongyuan Xuantian Flag, but he also raised his cultivation to the late eighth level.

He just needs to use his mind to nourish the mysterious water energy, and then sacrifice and refine the Zhenlong Dharma Image, then he can refine the energy and plant the talisman.

At the moment, he doesn't have much idea about the Zhenlong Dharma Image. Although he knows that it is based on the kidney membrane cloud clothes, it is not easy to sacrifice and refine it.

That Yunyi has the ability to inherit the law and is not affected by the various laws. If one wants to sacrifice and refine this law, the biggest trouble is to collect and refine spiritual objects.

The tortoise and snake forms that were sacrificed and refined earlier were made of yang water and yin fire respectively, and the Nine Yang Divine Water and Five Ding Yin Fire were also refined.

Yu Shuyang thought about it and realized that there were only two ways to refine the Zhenlong Dharma Image. One was to find a dragon-like mythical beast and peel off a piece of its kidney membrane to use as a spiritual material for refining.

The other one fell swoop in on the magical power of cloud law. Just like the kidney membrane is also called cloud clothing, he can use the magical power of cloud law to refine a dragon banner.

At present, he has mastered two magical powers of cloud magic: cloud travel and cloud separation into yin and yang. He has also gained many insights into the two magical powers of cloud cover and cloud fog, and believes that with more practice, he can also cultivate magical powers.

Yu Shuyang looked at the two water balls in his hand. These were the ones that Saoxia Tongzi had asked to sacrifice and refine. One was the Tianyi True Water Ball, and the other was the Xuanming True Water Ball.

The two streams of true water spiritual aura were refined into mysterious light energy, and could no longer use the power of the star to gather true water, but they could refine the sky light into water light energy.

He planned to use this to comprehend the two magical powers of clouds and mist. When the time comes, he could use clouds and mist as materials to refine them into cloud clothes.

Compared to the kidney membrane refining method, he prefers to use the cloud clothing refining method. In this way, he can kill two birds with one stone. After all, he plans to practice nine magical powers.

Yu Shuyang put away his wandering thoughts and walked out of the training room. He didn't see a single servant along the way. The huge alchemist's mansion seemed to be empty.

When he arrived at the guest room he had stayed in earlier, Qi Feng, Wan Jia, including Li Zhen, Jin Tong... were all gone.

Just when he was extremely surprised, he saw a fox demon cleaning the courtyard. The fox demon had a human body and a fox head, and was holding a broom to sweep the fallen leaves.

"Where are the people in the mansion? Where did they go?" Yu Shuyang walked forward and asked.

The fox demon tilted its head, looked Yu Shuyang around, and said, "Are you the one who's in seclusion in the training room?"

Yu Shuyang nodded, motioning him to continue.

"The great alchemist took all the monsters in the mansion and moved to the academy. Now there are only a few monster servants left in the mansion." The fox demon explained.

"How long have I been in seclusion? Where is the academy?" Yu Shuyang continued to ask.

"You've probably been in seclusion for three or four years. I heard you went into seclusion before the crown prince was enthroned. It's been more than three years now.

The academy isn't in the capital, it's outside the city, and I've never been there. If you want to go, I can help contact the academy's manager." The fox demon offered helpfully.

Yu Shuyang nodded and said, "Then please help me contact them."

He secretly guessed that Wan Jia, Qi Feng and the others should have gone to the academy. They thought they would not get lost in the Great Alchemist's Mansion, so he did not send a flying talisman to inquire.

But thinking about this three or four years of seclusion, I don’t know how the fish mother is doing, or what’s happening with Hushan Island and Yatou Mountain.

Thinking of this, he took out two flying talisman fish scales, both of which were refined using the old scales he had shed. Only by relying on the induction of Qi could he use flying talismans to transmit messages.

He first wrote a flying talisman to Yu Mu, telling her about his retreat and cultivation, so as to avoid worrying about something happening to him after three or four years of no contact.

By the way, I also asked how Yu's father was doing, whether he had come out of confinement, and how my second sister, second brother-in-law, and several nephews were doing.

Finally, I didn't forget to ask whether my eighth sister and her husband had moved to Donghai. When I left earlier, Yu Mu said that she had written a letter to my eighth sister to tell her that her nephew Huang Bashan was born, and to persuade them to move to Donghai.

Afterwards, he wrote a flying talisman to Li Taiping, first asking about his progress in cultivation. Before leaving Hushan Island, Li Taiping was thinking about using lightning-struck wood to sacrifice and refine a set of star god talismans.

Then he greeted Yang Fuzi. He remembered that when he left the island, Yang Fuzi told him that he must return to Hushan Island within ten years at the latest, and there would be an opportunity for him.

Moreover, Yang Fuzi can only stay on Hushan Island for a maximum of ten years. He said at the beginning that the opportunity was on Lei Island deep in the desolate sea, which would take ten years at the fastest and twenty to thirty years at the slowest, so he must go back when the time comes.

Apart from that, I think Zhixian Tuliu, Tea Tree Spirit Yunhua, three students from the Xiyu clan, and two disciples from the Turtle and Snake clans are all doing well in their cultivation.

Finally, Yu Shuyang wrote about the golden bee monster, the golden tiger, and the spider monster, and asked about the business conditions on the island.

After writing the two flying talismans, he cast a spell to transmit the letter. The fish scales turned into two flames, flew up, and disappeared directly into the void.

It is strange to say, this flying talisman can be used to send messages directly in the inland areas of Kyushu, no matter how far the Kyushu are from each other.

Unfortunately, after arriving in the East China Sea, they could only send letters to each other by flying talismans within the East China Sea. If they wanted to send news to Kyushu, they could only write letters through the post station or ask the passing sea merchants to help deliver the message.

Before he could feel surprised, he saw a green light flying over and falling into Yu Shuyang's hand, turning into a cow hair. He knew at a glance that it was Li Taiping's reply.

This flying talisman can be directly inspected with the mind, or it can be torn open to listen to the voice transmission. Yu Shuyang thought it was useless, so he rubbed the cow hair in his hand and tore the flying talisman open.

"Brother, everything is fine on the island. Master Yang and I will be taking a boat to Qingqiu Island. Besides your two boys, five disciples, and your three nephews, we will be traveling with you.

Last year, Master Yin sent a message inviting Master Yang to Qingqiu Island to help him establish Tokaido Temple. However, the trip could not be made because the arrangements on Hushan Island were not completed.

By the way, there is also a demon fairy from the Chi family traveling with us. He said he is here to deliver the ritual ship that has been refined. I think he seems to have other plans, so I hope you can make preparations in advance.

Everything is going well on the island. The three tribes of golden bees, water spiders and moonlight spiders are developing very fast. In the past two years, thanks to the Four Symbols Tail Wagging Formation, their cultivation has also increased a lot.

In addition, there are more than a dozen Yunwu tea trees that have awakened and become spirits, as well as twenty or thirty flower spirits. They were all nurtured bit by bit by Yunhua using formations to slowly nourish their spirituality.

The sand pigs in the farmland are growing very fast, producing hundreds of piglets every year. Now you can see little sand pigs running around everywhere on the island. Fortunately, there is a formation to block them, so they don't cause any harm.

Many of the meat ganoderma spirits you enlightened have become demons, and are now growing various types of mushrooms in farmland, orchards, tea gardens, and flower gardens.

At the beginning, due to unfamiliarity, a lot of poisonous mushrooms were grown, which caused many little monsters on the island to become obsessed. Fortunately, Yunhua was there and could help detoxify them.

Anyway, everything is fine on the island, don't worry, in ten days or half a month, we will be able to reach Qingqiu Island."

As Li Taiping narrated, Yu Shuyang saw several more scenes. After all, Yang Fuzi was in charge of the island. In front of the third-grade demon fairy, there were few disasters.

After all, if Yang Fuzi can't solve it, Yu Shuyang probably won't be able to solve it either.

Before he could think of anything else, another flash of fire turned into a fish scale and fell into Yu Shuyang's hand. It seemed to be the flying talisman given back by the fish mother.

He crushed the flying talisman again and listened to the message inside. "Stupid brother, not long after you went into seclusion, Da Zhenzi sent a flying talisman saying that you were going into seclusion to practice.

At the end of last year, your father came out of seclusion. He had already cultivated to the late sixth level and met me.

I told him about you and asked him to wait for you to come back before overcoming the tribulation and breaking through. I also gave him specific instructions.

Your father said it’s still early, and it will take at least another thirty or forty years before we can consider overcoming the tribulation. Now he doesn’t need to retreat for a long time to practice.

He has already started refining the spiritual materials of earth energy prepared by Yatou Mountain. He asked me to tell you that there is too much accumulated earth energy. If he refines it all, he might be able to open up a blessed land comparable to a cave heaven.

Your eighth brother-in-law and your eighth sister's family have moved to the East China Sea and are now helping Da Zhenzi manage the trade routes. I heard from your eighth brother-in-law that there is unrest in the Huaishui Dragon Palace and now the trade route between the North and Wuzhou has been cut off.

Fortunately, they moved here two years ago and didn't suffer too much. Your eighth sister asked me to tell you that Xiaobashan has been well nurtured by you, and she wants to thank you very much.

Also, your sixth sister wrote to me last year, saying that she would come over in a while and bring your future sixth brother-in-law with her. Once the time is confirmed, I will notify you in advance.

There is another thing. Xiao Bashan went to Hushan Island several times and met a snake fairy with the cultivation level of the third rank on the island. He wanted to take him as his disciple.

Your junior brother also came over to help discuss the matter. Your eighth sister and I couldn't make up our minds. Later, we heard that Qingqiu Island had established an academy, and we could be sent to the academy.

After much consideration, I decided to let all three grandsons go. Please give me some advice on this matter so that I don't suffer any loss.

There is one more thing. Your second cousin Li Li is engaged. Because your godmother has been in seclusion for cultivation, the demon fairy ancestor of the Zhu family has been waiting in Wuhui Cave for four years to see your father come out of seclusion.

So he was asked to be the witness and personally arrange everything for Li Li. If Li Zhen's wife had not been in seclusion practicing, they might have held the wedding.

You've been cultivating for quite some time now, so you should think about when to get married. Don't wait until you reach the sixth rank, as having children by then will be difficult."

After Yu Mu finished her words, she did not forget to urge her to get married. Yu Shuyang was left in a state of confusion and could only shake his head and give up.

However, thinking of the earth-qi spiritual materials, he sent another flying talisman to Yu's mother, explaining to her clearly that the earth-qi spiritual materials were exchanged for the talisman money from the steamed bun shop and the grass shop. They were not only for Yu's father, but also for Yu's mother.

He explained again that the talisman money and New Year's money were of no use if they were accumulated there, so it would be better to exchange them for earth-energy spiritual materials, which could also help with cultivation and would be useful when breaking through to the fifth level in the future.

Yu Shuyang felt that it was useless to keep the talisman money in the warehouse. It would be better to exchange it for spiritual materials and treasures, and it would be best to turn it into business investment so that it could be better converted into wealth.

After he sent out the flying talisman, he thought silently in his mind and sorted out the words of Li Taiping and Yu Mu.

There are two things he has to face. One is that the ancestor of the Chi family is coming to give him a magic ship, and he must be asking for the golden elixir later.

This time, his problem was easy to solve. The ancestor of the Chi family broke through to the fifth level with the help of the Gong family's methods of the nine human families, but did not accumulate the corresponding five virtues afterwards.

Now he only has 100 years left to live, and he wants to ask for an elixir to help him break through to the fourth level. At that time, on the ship, the Chi family was reprimanded by Yin Chenzi on the spot, and asked him to go to Zhongzhou to seek a solution from the human race.

Yu Shuyang was not very clear at first, but now he understands that this is caused by the interference of the human Yuan Qi. Yin Chenzi instructed him to seek the method of becoming a saint in the human way.

Now that he has the method of fighting against the dust-like calamity, he can focus on the details and help him remove the human essence from his body. In this way, he can sense the heavenly calamity and try to overcome it and break through.

As for whether the demon fairy ancestor of the Chi family could successfully break through, he had no control over it. After all, it was already very difficult for him to give him a chance.

If it weren't for the purpose of practicing the power of meticulousness and precision to see if it could be effective against fifth- and sixth-grade cultivators, he wouldn't have considered helping at all.

Another thing is that the snake fairy wants to take Huang Bashan as his disciple. This matter needs to be considered. Although both of them are snake demons, other things have to be considered.

First of all, my nephew Huang Bashan is a descendant of the Ba Snake family and has no shortage of methods for cultivation. If I lead him into the Taoist Alliance, he can also become my disciple.

Secondly, among the three masters, Yu Shuyang has the weakest relationship with the Snake Immortal and has only met him twice so far. Judging from the Qiankun Snake Bag, he can refine magic weapons with his flesh and blood, and is definitely not a good person.

Finally, the question is the Snake Immortal's motive. Why did he suddenly run to Hushan Island and want to accept Huang Bashan as his disciple? There is no logic at all.

Before Yu Shuyang figured out the motive, he would not agree. The Taoist Alliance paid particular attention to the master-disciple relationship. After all, the purpose of the Taoist Alliance's dream test was to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families.

"Master, are you out of seclusion?"

Yu Shuyang looked up and saw that it was Wan Jia and Qi Feng who came. He saw that Wan Jia's cultivation had reached the middle stage of the ninth rank, and Qi Feng had also gathered the Dharma image and had reached the early stage of the ninth rank.

"You two are both doing well, and you are making great progress in your cultivation. What about them?" Yu Shuyang asked after looking at them.

Qi Feng spoke first, "Master, I know that the Wan family has been learning alchemy from the great alchemist for the past two years, and they don't know as much as I do.

Jintong and the three Fengli were in the academy. As for Cao Xiaoshan, Fan Liulang and Qi Niangzi, they went to Menzhou Temple within two months after they woke up.

As soon as the news spread that Cao Xiaoshan was able to practice cultivation, his family members came to his house to make things difficult for him. Later, the second son of the Shangguozhu Mansion came to harass Fan Liulang.

The Guifang General's Mansion and the Shangguozhu Mansion kept giving them trouble, and finally Cao Xiaoshan and Fan Liulang came to the Great Alchemist for help.

Because Cao Xiaoshan was a follower of your Shintoism and practiced the Red Wish Temple Establishment Method, the Great Alchemy Master instructed him to establish a temple in Menzhou.

So, Cao Xiaoshan, Fan Liulang, Qi Niangzi, the madam, and three other top prostitutes all left together."

Yu Shuyang nodded. He didn't expect that three or four years would pass during his retreat, and Cao Xiaoshan, Fan Liulang and others were all gone.

Now they have gone to the inland of Kyushu and cannot be contacted for the time being. It is also unknown whether they have succeeded in building the temple. If there is a response from the incense in the temple, we can communicate with the Tai Sui Dragon God.

"How is the academy? Is it very grand?" Yu Shuyang asked.

Qi Feng snorted angrily after hearing this and said viciously, "Don't mention it, these three years have been all in vain.

Ever since the Great Alchemist founded the Tokaido Academy, children from all the noble families in the Fox Country have come here, making the academy a mess.

Not long ago, the Great Alchemist just established a rule to have monthly scripture examinations, which is considered a bit more disciplined."

Yu Shuyang understood in his heart that even the Taoist Alliance could not resist the infiltration of the aristocratic families, and it would be extremely difficult for Yin Chenzi to preach and recruit disciples.

The thought that he still had to choose a few disciples from among them made him feel overwhelmed. He had to be extremely cautious in accepting disciples to pass on the Dharma lineage, lest his family be encroached upon bit by bit by the aristocratic families after he escaped the calamity and ascended to heaven.
