Chapter 205 Greatly Increased Skills and the Blood Contract of Guarding the Palace
Miaomu stepped into the cave. There was a swishing sound in her hand, and several talismans immediately flew out of her hand and fell outside the cave, erasing all traces of the outside world.
She stood in front of the bronze tripod, looking at the bright red pills in Yu Lie's hand, breathing slightly heavy.
I think she, Miaomu, has been in Daocheng for many days, and even left the city to fight life and death, but it is not until today that she saw the pill that can increase her cultivation. This situation is different from her situation in Greenwood Town.
, it’s simply a world of difference.
If it weren't for the bright future in Daocheng, and the spiritual energy alone was unmatched by other places, Miaomu almost wanted to leave Qianzhou Daocheng and return to the Heihe River Basin to become his own Taoist disciple.
Over the past few days, she had fantasized about it more than once. Maybe when she returned to the countryside, her path and situation would be better.
Smelling the scent of the blood-quenching pill in Yu Lie's hand, Miaomu looked excited:
"Getting this elixir today is a good sign and a good start!"
Yu Lie succeeded in refining the elixir, which suddenly made her realize that her life might be getting better again.
However, Miaomu did not directly reach out to take the elixir from Yu Lie's hand and take it. Instead, he looked at Yu Lie and asked:
"I would like to ask fellow Daoist Yu, what are the particularities in taking this elixir?"
Hearing this, Yu Lie casually replied: "The method of taking this pill is similar to that of Qianxue Pill. You can take it bucally, or you can bury it in the skin, flesh or cavity, and use the blood to slowly dissolve and flush it away."
After hearing the explanation, Miaomu nodded. She reached out and picked one pill from Yu Lie's hand.
While taking the medicine, the woman inadvertently moved the other pills in Yu Lie's hand, and blocked Yu Lie's sight with her fingers, making Yu Lie wonder which one she had chosen.
A pill.
After taking a blood-quenching pill, Miaomu still didn't take it as much as she said. She looked at Yu Lie calmly, thinking about what she wanted to say.
When Yu Lie saw this scene, he smiled softly.
His eyes were not wandering, and he casually pinched a blood-quenching pill from his hand. Without any hesitation, he directly put it in his mouth and held it under his tongue.
Then Yu Lie put the remaining few pills of pills back on the lid of the copper tripod, and then found a place in the cave to meditate and refine the pills in his mouth.
He just said: "Then Taoist friends Miao and Pindao will go into silence first."
Miaomu quickly handed over his hands and said, "I'm here to protect the Dharma for fellow Taoists."
Hearing this, Yu Lie had no expression on his face, but he laughed in his heart: "This female Taoist is quite vigilant, she is afraid that I may have tampered with the elixir."
Miaomu stood aside and waited patiently.
After waiting for almost an hour, Yu Lie's blood continued to steam, his energy was strong and there was no sign of decadence or poisoning.
At this time, Miaomu was completely relieved. She also walked to a corner of the cave, meditated and crossed her legs, put the elixir she had just received under the tip of her tongue, and gently tapped her teeth to take it.
But the moment she sat down, Yu Lie, who was immersed in cultivation, closed his eyes slightly and his eyes flickered a few times.
Miaomu was right to worry, Yu Lie had apparently tampered with the elixir!
And not only the one taken by the other party was tampered with, but all the blood-tempering pills, not even one of them was left, was planted with a unique toxin by Yu Lie.
This toxin is none other than Yu Lie's own blood.
He has been practicing poisonous arts since he was a Taoist boy, and has never detoxified. Now it is a mixture of many strange poisons, complex and rare. Even after being refined in fire and copper furnace, its toxicity is still there.
Fortunately, Yu Lie did not intend to trap Miaomu on the spot.
The toxins in the blood-quenching elixir are even weak, and there is a period of incubation. The initial amount is very small. It will only increase with the passage of time and the number of elixirs taken. When it reaches a certain level, it will affect
People who take medicine.
In this way, it can avoid being discovered by the person who took the medicine, and it is not too cunning. Even if the other party discovers it, Yu Lie will have a reason to fool him.
The reason why the poison was secretly planted was because Yu Lie was worried that this female Taoist had excellent qualifications and would improve much more than him if she took the same pill.
And Yu Lie couldn't openly deduct the other party's elixirs, otherwise it would be easy for them to break up completely or even cause conflicts.
But once the gap in strength becomes larger in the end, and the validity of the dragon energy contract will soon disappear, in Yu Lie's opinion, Miaomu may take action against him.
It's not surprising that Yu Lie was worried. In fact, when capturing the tree demon, Miaomu's conversation was unintentional on the part of the speaker, but intentional on the part of the listener.
The more Yu Lie thought about it while refining the elixir, the more he felt something was wrong. He suspected that the female Taoist might have recognized him.
Therefore, instead of letting himself be on guard or using other means to guard against it, he might as well bury a little secret in the elixir from the beginning to prepare for future troubles!
Secretly, Yu Lie raised his eyes and glanced at Miaomu, thinking in his heart:
"If you don't have any bad intentions, when the cooperation is completed and you need to take the last few pills, I will refine the antidote for you and mix it into it to understand this matter."
The other side.
Miaomu was immersed in his practice and didn't notice anything strange at all.
The blood-quenching pill melted in her mouth, and the fragrant fragrance hit her nostrils. It immediately penetrated into every muscle and bone in her body, causing her muscles and skin, as well as the blood under the skin, to tremble.
The energy is mixed and the energy rushes incessantly.
The huge effect of the medicine impacted her mind, making her feel pleasantly surprised:
"What a pill. It must be the most powerful and effective pill I have ever taken so far!"
She made some calculations and found that if she could take this elixir every day, one day of practice would be worth ten or even thirty days!
In other words, the cultivation of the last Taoist disciple, which usually takes ten years to complete, can be completed in only one year or even four months if there are enough such pills!
This made Miaom very happy.
She immediately gathered her energy, urged the qi, blood and zhenqi in her body, squeezed out and absorbed the medicinal effects that had seeped into her body.
And as soon as she flipped her fingers, a spiritual stone jumped out of her sleeve, fell into her palm, released spiritual energy, and was swallowed into her stomach.
Take medicine to refine your Qi and increase your energy.
In the cave, a man and a woman sat around a huge copper cauldron used for alchemy, each working hard to refine the medicinal effects in their bodies.
Half a day passed.
The two of them absorbed a blood-quenching pill one after another.
Among them, Miaomu's qualification root bone was exactly what Yu Lie was worried about. It was much better than Yu Lie's. She took it later, but digested it faster.
Regardless of whether it was Miao Mu, who had tasted the sweetness of the fine elixir, or Yu Lie, who had ulterior motives, after they finished refining the elixir, they did not bother each other, and took out the blood-quenching elixir from the copper cauldron in the middle, and continued to plate it.
Sit aside and meditate to practice your Qi.
Such a tacit and peaceful behavior lasted for three to five days in the cave.
Time passed, and when Miaomu stood up again and wanted to take the elixir from the bronze cauldron, he found that the bronze cauldron was empty.
Yu Lie refined the blood-quenching pill, which was already swallowed by the two of them.
At this time, Yu Lie noticed the movement at the bronze cauldron.
The pill he had just taken was almost digested, so he opened his eyes in time and looked at Miaomu with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Miao, is the elixir refined by Pindao powerful enough?"
Miaomu was looking at the empty bronze tripod with regret. When she heard Yu Lie's words, she nodded sharply.
The female Taoist's face was flushed and she stared at Yu Lie with piercing eyes and said:
"Brother Yu, you will not deceive me. This blood-quenching pill is really a good pill. Just five or six pills have allowed me to increase my Taoist practice by as much as three months in one go!"
She stood still in the cave, staring at Yu Lie ardently, even with a look of hunger in her eyes: "Now I truly know the value of people in the alchemy way! With the help of elixirs and without the help of elixirs
, completely two different things.”
Yu Lie nodded and agreed with Miaomu's words.
Among the three major cultivation skills of alchemy, weapon refining, and talisman formation, generally speaking, the cultivation of alchemy is the fastest.
There is no other reason for this, and it is mostly caused by taking drugs and taking pills.
Yu Lie's cultivation aptitude is only above average, and his understanding may be slightly better, but it is far from being comparable to the first-class real geniuses.
Therefore, the reason why he chose the alchemy path with all his heart in the first place was so that he could make the elixir for himself and take it, which would help his daily practice and breakthroughs.
There are even rumors that when a person in the alchemy path has reached an advanced stage of cultivation, his bones can be improved, and even his understanding can be improved. It is really the first path that people with ordinary qualifications should choose!
Yu Lie happily raised his hands to the female Taoist in front of him and said: "Fellow Taoist Miao is so complimentary, so complimentary."
The two chatted for a moment, and Yu Lie called out his Taoist jar. He took a look at it and said in surprise:
"Five days have passed, Fellow Daoist Miao, it's time for us to return to the city."
The two people originally planned to leave the city for five days at most.
Now, due to the refining of the blood-tempering pill, the two people's stay in the outer city has exceeded the time limit, and the contract signed between them has expired. It is time to go back and rest.
However, Miaomu had a look of hesitation in his eyes when he heard Yu Lie's words.
She glanced outside the cave, with a bit of unwillingness in her eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, Miaomu suddenly gritted his teeth and said:
"Brother Yu, can you continue to hunt here with me and refine elixirs for consumption?"
She said anxiously: "Brother Yu said before that the refined medicine was only used to test the medicine. Now the medicine has been proved to be very effective. How about you and I continue our efforts and make great progress on the road!"
When Yu Lie heard this, his expression was slightly startled.
He looked at the woman in front of him with fiery eyes and suspected that she had taken some medicine.
Yu Lie secretly muttered: "Is it because of the toxins in the elixir? It shouldn't be."
Seeing that Yu Lie was silent, Miaom thought he was hesitating, so he said with his face still excited:
"Brother Yu, you use your alchemy skills and I use force to kill. We really complement each other, a match made in heaven!"
"In order to make a fortune, Bisunbei, the Taoist disciple named Ye, and others were still catching Taoist slaves in the desert next door. Now this jungle is empty, and no other Taoists come to disturb it. This is an opportunity for you and me, and we cannot allow it.
Miss it! If you miss it, it will be gone.”
Hearing this, Yu Lie suddenly became excited.
Both of them are newcomers to the Taoist city. Miaomu is eager to improve his Taoist behavior and improve his status. How can Yu Lie not be the same? What's more, Yu Lie plans to join the Taoist palace this year!
If he wanted to achieve his goal, he couldn't waste a day.
Instead of wasting time returning to the inner city to do hard work in the workshop for a few more days, it is better to seize the opportunity now and search around the area!
The only thing worth worrying about is that the contract signed by the two before leaving the city has expired. If you want to renew it, you still have to return to the city.
Yu Lie immediately raised this concern.
Miaomu also frowned, but as soon as she gritted her teeth, she suddenly said:
"It doesn't matter, it's easy! Brother Yu and I can just sign another contract."
Yu Lie thought for a moment, glanced at the Taoist urn on his head, and said in surprise: "Sign another one, can Fellow Taoist Miao invite the dragon spirit?"
The dragon spirit is strong and strong, and is the support of the immortal will in the world of mountains and seas. When the Taoists sign a contract, if they cannot do it in front of the immortals in the city, they must at least invite the dragon spirit as a witness.
If you want to be able to use dragon energy, you must have at least a seventh-level cultivation level, so that a Taoist can leave your body with thoughts, drive objects, and control dragon energy.
Therefore, Yu Lie was immediately surprised when faced with Miaomu's proposal.
However, Miaomu's reaction was a bit beyond Yu Lie's expectations. She shook her head and denied that she could invite dragon energy.
The female daoist lowered her eyes, hesitantly stretched out her left arm, and used her magic power to gently roll up her sleeves, revealing her white jade-like wrists and delicate and smooth forearms.
Such a shocking scene appeared in front of Yu Lie, which made Yu Lie's eyes dazzle slightly.
In recent days, although the two have been getting along day and night, they are serious Taoist friends. They behave politely with each other, and the other party's clothes are also decent, and they rarely show off their femininity.
Now Miaomu moved her arm out, and she was close to Yu Lie, and she was a head lower than Yu Lie.
Miaomu suddenly looked like a porcelain doll, with a little baby fat on her arms and cheeks. Her feminine flavor was clearly revealed, and she looked charming and charming.
What's more, there was a dazzling red mark on the inside of Miaomu's left wrist, like a blood stain, which firmly attracted Yu Lie's attention.
"Shu Gongsha?" Yu Lie looked carefully at the red dot on the inside of Miaomu's wrist with a strange look.
He thought to himself: "Why is she showing this to me? Could it be that she wants to use this thing as collateral? If things don't work out..."
Yu Lie's thoughts suddenly flooded with thoughts.
Unlike him, the female Taoist Miaomu opposite had only a look of shame on her face, and then she started talking with a serious face:
"Miao cannot invite the Dragon Qi person, but there is a way to replace him.
This is the blood talisman of guarding the palace, a secret technique that Pindao has practiced since he was a child. Brother Yu and I can sign a blood contract with this to bind each other..."
