Five hundred and twelve chapters twenty-eight spirit birds
…
After recalling Hu Shou and Tianlang, Xu Rui did not leave, but took them back to the Dripping Cave.
The spiritual energy here is as rich as Dazhu Peak. Xu Rui plans to practice hard here and rearrange the formations here to create his own home outside Qingyun.
And he also wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate the twenty-eight spiritual birds that he had recently acquired.
We will need them when we go to the Western Swamp next.
If you don't have strength, you won't be able to protect yourself once you encounter danger.
As for the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Kiln and the Blood Refining Hall, he didn't bother to knock on the doors again when the vampire bats were no longer useful to him.
Changing the plot significantly will not do you any good.
…
In the dim world, a fat man wearing a gray robe flew forward with a worried look on his face.
Judging from his embarrassment, it was obvious that he had gone through a cruel fight.
Suddenly, a huge eagle, more than ten feet tall, flew over like lightning.
The speed is much faster than that of the fat man.
The giant eagle looked at the other party and spat out.
In an instant, a strong wind blew, and a wind blade that was more than ten feet long fell from the sky.
The obese man hurriedly resisted, while the somewhat damaged hammer head glowed with an earthy yellow aura, protecting his entire body.
But just as he was getting ready, another wind blade struck with lightning from the right rear.
He was looking at his head and body, and with a scream, he was cut in half by the wind blade.
The body fell to the ground, and a flash of light revealed a strange beast with the head of a pig and the body of a tiger, eight or nine feet long.
The giant eagle folded its wings and its aura flickered, transforming into a tall young man wearing a green robe with a phoenix pattern and a golden crown on his head.
At the same time, a blue bird of more than ten feet flew from a distance, folded its wings, and transformed into a young man wearing a green robe with a phoenix pattern, a jade belt around his waist, and a magic sword on his back.
"Who do I think is trying to steal my business? It turns out to be you, my 14th brother?" The man with the golden crown said with a smile.
"Brother Qi is serious. I passed by here and did it casually. Brother Qi should not be weird."
The man carrying the sword laughed.
The golden-crowned man smiled, waved his sleeves, and collected the monsters and the broken pumpkin hammer on the ground.
“Brother Fourteen, are you going back?”
"I have completed the tasks assigned by the master this month."
The man carrying the sword smiled.
"My fourteenth brother arrived very quickly, and I just happened to finish it. Let's go back together and have someone with us on the way."
"What I wish for."
As soon as the two people finished speaking, a gust of cold wind hit them. Their expressions changed and they quickly turned their heads to look. However, a hundred feet away from them, they saw a line of thick gray fog rolling in like a big tide.
There were shadows in the mist, as if countless undead were filling it.
"Made, we've met these guys again, let's leave quickly." The man with the golden crown said urgently.
After the man carrying the sword nodded quickly, the two of them transformed into their original bodies and quickly fled into the distance.
There are hundreds of millions of dead souls in the Dead Soul Abyss. When they move in groups, it is like a storm sweeping across them, and all living creatures in the Dead Soul Abyss will retreat.
The two demons moved at an astonishing speed, and soon got rid of the tide of undead and arrived at a ravine.
He transformed into his original body, shrank his body, and crashed directly into a boulder.
A strange thing happened. The originally solid boulder seemed to not exist after they collided with it, and it swallowed the two of them directly.
Of course, this boulder is just an illusion of the forbidden law.
Walk into the stone path and come to a water curtain.
Behind the water curtain stands a stone tablet.
Three characters are engraved on the stele.
Qingyun Cave.
On the left side of the stone wall is the Qingyun Cave. The two of them pinched their fingers, and the closed stone door opened. They walked through the long stone path and came to a stone hall.
This stone hall is nine feet high and thirty-six feet wide.
In the middle, three feet above the ground is a lotus throne.
There are stone paths on both sides and back of the main hall leading to other places.
Xu Ruigao was sitting on the lotus seat, and there were already more than a dozen figures in front of him wearing green robes with phoenix patterns, with different appearances, but the same extraordinary aura.
The two of them were stunned for a moment when they came in, but they quickly came to their senses.
He quickly came forward to greet him.
"See you, sir."
Xu Rui nodded slightly, "I'm back."
The two took off the dharma bags from their waists and handed them over.
"Sir, it's just our mission this month."
Xu Rui took it, took a look at it, waved his hand to refine the corpse, added a marrow washing point, and threw the bag back.
The reason why he assigned the twenty-eight spirit birds the task of killing three golden elixir monsters every month was not to cleanse their marrow points, but to hone them.
After all, no matter how good your qualifications are, if you stay in the greenhouse as flowers, you will only be left with a pile of waste materials in the end.
"Go back and sit down."
The two of them caught the bag, responded quickly, returned to their seats, and sat down cross-legged.
Gradually all twenty-eight spiritual birds came back.
"Now that everyone is back, I'm going to talk about the truth, so listen up."
Xu Rui talks about the popular road.
The twenty-eight spirit birds all practice the Way of Wind and have excellent qualifications. In just five years, they have already broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
Those who practice quickly have already reached the late stage of Golden Elixir.
The speed of cultivation of the innate Tao body is almost ten times that of the innate spirit body. Coupled with his continuous explanation of the principles of the wind, these spiritual birds have made rapid progress.
In the past five years, Xu Rui, a puppet of his own destiny, has also successfully cultivated the 'Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao' to the eighth level.
Xu Rui's sermon has nothing to do with the different appearances of golden flowers emerging from the earth and golden lotuses from heaven, except for the slight breeze surrounding them.
All the spiritual birds listened with rapt attention.
Sudden.
A powerful air of ice came from behind the palace.
Gaba Gaba!
Visible to the naked eye, layers of ice quickly froze along the passage behind the hall, turning the ten-foot-wide stone passage into a snow-covered ice passage in the blink of an eye.
This sudden turn of events woke up the practitioners who were listening to the lecture.
Xu Rui waved his sleeve, and a spiritual light blocked the expanding ice.
Looking behind, there was a touch of surprise in his eyes.
"Fengtian?"
A strong man sitting in the front stood up in response.
"Please give me your orders, Lord."
"Among all the cultivators, you have the highest achievement in Feng Dao. Next, you will be the one to preach."
"As commanded."
A strong man named Fengtian stepped forward.
For these twenty-eight spiritual birds, Xu Rui all took the surname "Feng" and named them after "the sky and the earth are black and yellow, and the universe is primitive".
Fengtian is the one with the highest level of cultivation among all the cultivators.
After the explanation, Xu Rui came to the back hall.
Like the front hall, he also made certain changes here. The original bluestone platform under the stone wall was flattened and turned into an open stone chamber.
The stone room containing broken weapons was opened up and turned into a training room for Tian Lang and Hu Shou.
The stone path engraved with the Heavenly Book was opened by Xu Rui into his own training room.
Now Hu Shou is outside, and in the back hall there is only Tianlang who is breaking through the soul.
Looking at the frost on the ground, it was obvious that the opponent was making a breakthrough.
"master."
The mirage dragon that had been following Xu Rui flew over.
Looking at the mirage that had completely solidified, Xu Rui nodded with satisfaction.
"Are you still using the Xuanwu sword?"
As the mirage advanced, Xu Rui also repaired the Xuanwu Sword to the level of an inferior magic weapon.
The foundation of the Xuanwu Sword is a high-quality magic weapon. It has been nurtured by the mirage dragon for many years, so it is not difficult to repair it.
Mirage shook his head.
"The Xuanwu sword is an earth spiritual sword, and it does not match the attributes of my subordinates."
Xu Rui, who was choked by his straightforwardness, smiled slightly awkwardly.
"Let's make do with it for now. When I open the passage between the two realms, I will hand over the Muchen Bead to you."
With the Kongming Treasure Tree, I won't need the Muchen Bead in the ghost world, so I can just give it to the Mirage Dragon.
As its original natal magic weapon, it is also bound by the essence of its body. There is nothing more suitable to be the natal magic weapon of the Mirage than the Muchen Bead.
"Thank you, sir."
After appeasing the mirage, Xu Rui waited for another three days.
Then he saw the surrounding ice slowly dissipating.
A tall man wearing a green robe embroidered with wolf head patterns walked out of the spacious stone path, striding out with an excited expression.
Seeing Xu Rui, he knelt down on one knee.
"Sirius comes to see you, sir."
"Get up."
"Thank you, sir."
"It seems you succeeded."
"If it weren't for the good fortune given by the master to improve my qualifications, Sirius wouldn't have such good fortune."
Xu Rui smiled faintly and spread his palms.
An ice cluster about ten feet long, as thick as an adult's thigh, exuding endless cold air emerged.
Sirius, who had mastered the Ice Way, his eyes lit up instantly.
"This eight-thousand-year-old ice crystal is a rare ice material, and I will give it to you today."
"This thing is too precious, Sirius..."
Xu Rui waved his hand to interrupt him, "Since you feel you deserve it, you should make this thing into a life treasure earlier to increase your strength. When the time comes, find some more precious spiritual treasures and give them to you.
This master is just trying to make some fuss."
"Subordinates take orders."
Sirius stretched his hands above his head and took it respectfully.
"Okay, now you have just made a breakthrough and it is time to improve your cultivation. Go back and practice."
"My subordinates resign."
Looking at his back as he left respectfully, Xu Rui raised the corner of his mouth and thought to himself.
"Including Hu Shou, Heavenly Wolf and Mirage Dragon, I have three souls by my side. If I go to the Western Swamp to find the Blood-devouring Bead, my chances will be much greater."
The Great Western Swamp is not like Kongsang Mountain.
The Blood Refining Hall, the overlord of Kongsang Mountain, has long since declined, and the evil cultivators in the nine caves and eighteen streams are also in disarray.
But the Great Swamp of the West is different. The strength of Changshengtang is not inferior to that of Ghost King Sect and Wandu Sect. It is far from the Changshengtang that suffered heavy losses after the battle in Qingyun Mountain and relied on Yuyangzi alone to support the overall situation.
Therefore, Xu Ruicai made many preparations to consolidate his foundation.
Counting him, plus Hu Shou, Tianlang and Mirage, the combined combat power of the four souls means that there is no need to be afraid even if they encounter Yuyangzi.
As long as he doesn't have to be entangled by Changshengtang's large army, he can easily escape.
Another three months passed before Sirius came out of seclusion.
Hu Shou, the nine-tailed green fox who was sent out on business by him, also came back.
Present the dharma bag at your waist.
"Master, here is what you want."
Xu Rui took it and took a look and nodded with satisfaction.
"Is this trip going well?"
"It's a coincidence that not long after I left Kongsang Mountain, I found out about the sermon preached by Fairy Yuluo at Peach Blossom Temple in Roland Peach Mountain seven thousand miles away. After I rushed there, I replaced the things given by the master with these spiritual objects."
