After tapping all the spiritual objects obtained from the Black Mountain in his hand, Xu Dao instantly found that he was suddenly rich.
As long as he sells the spiritual objects in his hands, he can get at least 15,000 talisman money. Adding what he already has, the monthly income is 37,000. Even if he needs to share some profits with You Bing, he will still have 30,000 yuan left.
Talisman money of three.
In the White Bone Temple, the monthly salary of a Taoist disciple is ten talisman coins in the early stage of Qi refining, thirty in the middle stage of Qi refining, and sixty in the late stage of Qi refining.
This amount of talisman money is as much as the salary of a Taoist disciple in the middle period of ninety years, and that of a Taoist disciple in the later period is as much as forty-five years.
"With so much talisman money, it should not be a problem in the later stages of Qi refining." Thinking of this, Xu Dao realized that he would probably no longer be short of talisman money for use in the future, and he couldn't help but feel very happy.
But after thinking about it carefully, Xu Dao's brows furrowed again. He held the three-legged will-o'-the-wisp flag in his hand and shook it suddenly, releasing several earthworms from it.
These earthworms were all at the level of Qi refining. They grew up in the Black Mountain to the size of a baby's fist and were as big as birds. But when they appeared in Xu Dao's eyes, the auras of these earthworms were wilted and their demonic aura was scattered.
The reason is no other than lack of blood and food.
In the Black Mountain, because of the rich spiritual energy and the numerous demons and ghosts, the earthworms bred into millions in a short period of time. However, outside the Black Mountain, because the spiritual energy of the outside world is low and the White Bone Mountain is currently closed, there are few living creatures outside the cave.
The reason is that the worms have run out of food.
Fortunately, earthworms are born as spirit eaters and can survive directly by swallowing spiritual energy and chewing on trees and soil. But in this way, 120,000 earthworms at the Qi refining level are easy to use, but feeding them is really laborious.
.
Among them, the demonic energy of 30,000 earthworms is equivalent to the realm of the middle stage of Qi refining. If we want to maintain the level of the earthworms and keep their evil energy from declining, the spiritual energy consumed by 10,000 earthworms every day is at least equivalent to that of a Taoist disciple in the middle stage of Qi refining.
In other words, thirty thousand is equivalent to three Taoist disciples in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Moreover, the total number of 120,000 Qi-refining-level earthworms requires daily spiritual energy equivalent to three mid-term Taoist disciples and nine early-stage Taoist disciples. The food intake of the earthworms is also amazing? The daily spiritual energy consumption will consume at least five talismans.
This amount may not seem much at first glance, but as time goes by, at least 150 talisman coins will be consumed in a month, which is 1,800 talisman coins in a year.
Xu Dao has been practicing these days. Few people care about these crickets, so they often ignore them, leaving them to rely on themselves to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to survive.
But although there is spiritual energy in Xu Dao's cave, and there is also a subtle branch of spiritual veins? But the daily spiritual energy is enough for Xu Dao to use? How can he support these earthworms?
Taoists may be able to refine Qi by swallowing sunlight and moonlight, but earthworms are different. Ordinary earthworms can only eat flesh, flesh, vegetation, but Qi-level earthworms must eat spiritual energy? Otherwise, the demonic energy in the body will gradually dissipate.
.
Xu Dao also realized one of the shortcomings of the Nanke beetlefly. He sighed slightly and thought to himself: "No wonder this thing reproduces so fast. It is somewhat famous in the world, but it has never had a big limelight or caused a disaster. It turns out.
The reliance on spiritual energy is too high.”
At the same time, Xu Dao thought in his mind: "I heard that in the past, the spiritual energy in heaven and earth was much richer than it is now. Although Taoists breathed in the essence of the sun and the moon, they did not use it as the main way to refine energy, but directly breathed in spiritual energy to enhance themselves. Today, heaven and earth
When the spiritual energy became thinner, Taoists turned to refining the essence of the sun and moon as the main means of increasing true energy."
"Then the Shezhao tribe would leave the egg of Nan Ke Pingfly alone without hatching? In fact, this thing is a beast that sells gold."
Xu Dao is now on the verge of the late stage of Qi refining. In addition to swallowing the moonlight, he can also swallow the sunray. In fact, he can just bask in the sun and the moon every day to ensure that his cultivation will not deteriorate.
It's just that in this way, you can't make any progress in your cultivation and delay things, which is just a waste of time.
Therefore, he needs additional spiritual energy to refine the talismans to save time in practice and increase his Taoism day by day.
Now, Nanke Bengying under his command is doing nothing. Just to maintain his level of demonic energy, he needs to spend extra talisman money every day, and his money consumption rate is much faster than Xu Dao himself.
"It seems that although I got a windfall, my expenses are not small."
Xu Dao sighed, thinking that he would have to spend a lot of money in the later stages of Qi refining, or even foundation building.
There may be more than 30,000 talismans, which can barely satisfy him in the later stages of Qi refining.
Staring at the dying and half-dead Xingying in his hand, Xu Dao thought, he took a batch of temporarily unused spiritual objects from all around and threw them directly in front of Xingying.
Without waiting for Xu Dao's order, even though they were very hungry, they did not make the slightest move towards the spiritual creature in front of them. Xu Dao's thoughts dropped and a few of them began to feast.
Click, click, click! In just a few breaths, Xu Dao's earthworms gnawed clean the several spiritual things in his hand, and at the same time, the demonic energy on their bodies also solidified visibly to the naked eye.
After waiting for a while, a few earthworms returned to their original appearance, no different from how they had just left the Black Mountain.
Xu Dao felt happy for a moment, "Fortunately, the level of evil spirit has not fallen below yet, and I can eat it back."
Although Nan Ke's spider worm has a special physique, as long as enough spiritual energy is consumed, the newborn spider worm can just swallow the spiritual energy in a short period of time and grow to the demonic level of the ant king.
But similar to the division of realms when Taoist disciples are refining qi, if a worm wants to undergo a qualitative change, such as evolving from an ordinary worm to a worm with demonic aura, or growing from the early stage of qi refining to the middle stage of qi refining, it needs to break through.
Breakthrough will cost more spiritual energy.
Continuing to tease a few well-fed earthworms in his hand, Xu Dao used the object-taking spell to directly take out some useless and not-so-rare spiritual objects from the spiritual objects all over the ground.
He piled them together, waved the banner in his hand slightly, and took the pile of spiritual objects into the banner.
The space in the three-legged will-o'-the-wisp flag is not small, it is as big as a small building. The aura inside can flow with the outside world. After stuffing 120,000 earthworms, there is still a lot of free space.
But as soon as the spiritual object entered the flag, the three-legged will-o'-the-wisp flag in Xu Dao's hand began to tremble on its own, clicking!
There was also a faint sound of gnawing. It was the crickets in the flags that had once again received sufficient food for a long time. They started to eat them first, causing the flags to shake.
Noticing the joyful look conveyed by the earthworms, and feeling that their auras had returned to normal, Xu Dao couldn't help but smile.
Apart from the sword box that still has one chance to be used, these insects are his biggest support.
But when he came back to his senses, Xu Dao looked around and found that a piece of the spiritual objects on the cave floor was missing, and his eyes still showed pain.
It may be that he is hungry and needs to be replenished. Although the additional spiritual objects have spiritual energy, the amount of spiritual energy cannot be compared with the talisman money of the same price. The advantages are that each has the value of refining elixirs, refining weapons, and painting talismans.
Therefore, in just one blow, Nanke Pingfly swallowed many spiritual objects worth nearly three hundred talisman coins.
"Three hundred talisman money... When I entered the Wind Cave in the past, I was able to withdraw more than 300 Taoist power in advance, which made me very happy. Today, just feeding some Gu worms actually cost me three hundred yuan of Taoist power."
When Xu Dao thought that he would have to come here once a month in the future, his heart ached even more. He thought to himself: "From now on, I will still be honest and feed him every few days to avoid being hungry and spending more money."
."
At the same time, he had no choice but to think that it would be great if there was a way to save his worms from consuming talisman money every day and instead earn him talisman money.
After a moment of reverie, Xu Dao shook his head to get rid of all the distracting thoughts. Then he raised the banner magical weapon in his hand, placed it on his knees, and looked at it carefully.
This time it was captured from Fang Guanhai, and its original name was the Three-legged Ghost Fire Flag.
During these days of retreat in the cave, Xu Dao spent his free time polishing his true energy, meditating on it, and warming up this flag.
Through these days of research, he has mastered the specific effects of the banner. At the same time, the entire banner has been completely refined by him. The inside and outside of the banner have been soaked with his true energy and marked with his mark.
Feel free to use it.
This flag is composed of a pole that looks like gold and wood, and a roll of jet-black flag surface. Both the pole and the flag surface are carved and woven with many unclear rune imprints, which can be made larger or smaller.
For the larger ones, the flag poles are made into columns, which can be several feet high. The flags are stretched out and can cover more than ten feet in all directions, just like the storage space inside.
The smaller ones can shrink to the size of a palm and can be inserted into the head of a Taoist priest like a hairpin.
When Xu Dao saw this flag for the first time, it was Fang Guanhai who drove the three-legged ghost-fire crow and spit it out from the belly of the ghost-fire crow. He shrunk the flag and put it in the pouch in the belly of the ghost-fire crow.
At the same time, the flag is not as its name suggests. Its biggest function is not to release will-o'-the-wisps. The reason why the front flag's surface burned with will-o'-the-wisps before was only because of Fang Guanhai's spell and the three-legged ghost-fire crow's will-o'-the-wisps.
The biggest function of the flag is to throw out the flag, block the four directions, and seal the energy. It can cover the enemy like a cage, and then exert pressure, or even directly ingest the flag and imprison it.
This was also the move that almost prevented many Yin Shen from escaping.
Rubbing the three-legged will-o'-the-wisp flag in his hand, Xu Dao felt the coolness on the flag pole. He stared at the flag, and suddenly remembered that when he saw this flag in Fang Guanhai's hand, the pattern formed on the flag was the other party's Yin Beast, with three legs.
Ghost Fire Crow.
Now what appears on the flag has turned into a pattern like a small insect, which is exactly the worm that Xu Dao captured in the flag.
"Fang Guanhai called this flag the 'Three-Legged Ghost Fire Crow', but now that I have it and it's filled with worms, I simply call it the 'Flower Flag'."
After giving his magical weapon a new name, Xu Dao waved the flag and chanted: "Big, big, small, small!"
He first turned the flag into a thin and tall beam and propped it up in the cave. Then he cut it into a four-inch size. He rolled up a small small flying flag and inserted it directly into his bun, temporarily serving as a hairpin.
hairpin.
Now that he is still in the cave, Xu Dao is too lazy to hold the banner in his hand at any time, so he simply does so. After he comes out of seclusion, he may be a Taoist holding a banner again, shaking the magic weapon to show that he is not someone to be trifled with.
After Haosheng sorted out everything he had acquired, Xu Dao closed his eyes and fell into practice.
Although his Qi has been polished and mastered, he cannot break through to the later stage of Qi refining because he has not yet obtained the breathing and breathing method in the later stage of Qi refining, but there is still nothing to do.
Xu Dao held a few talismans in his hand, constantly drawing spiritual energy from them, and then breaking them up and refining them into true energy, so that the quantity and quality of the true energy in his body would be as pure as possible.
…
Time passes little by little.
In the remaining days, Xu Dao practiced Qi training as usual, fed earthworms, and at the same time read some Taoist books and miscellaneous records to calm his body and mind.
During this period, he also sent out worms to carefully explore outside the cave, but the entire White Bone Temple had always been in a closed state, with Yin soldiers roaming everywhere and bones flowing everywhere.
Even if he evades the inspection of these Taoist soldiers, he will not be able to enter the buildings of the White Bone Temple, and at the same time, he will not be able to leave the scope of the mountain guarding formation.
The entire White Bone Mountain and a small half of the mountain range are blocked by the formation. The tightness of the blockade is much stronger than that of the Flying Flags. It can be said to be isolated from the inside and outside.
Therefore, although Xu Daosheng did not give up his desire to understand the outside world, he did not expend too much useless effort.
Finally, it was the forty-ninth day of returning to the mountain.
Xu Dao is still in a state of cultivation today, warming up the true energy in his body.
Moo!
A metal-like trembling sound sounded, as if it sounded in Xu Dao's heart, like a big bell.
But the voice was solemn and strangely reassuring. It only woke Xu Dao up, but did not disturb his true energy.
Xu Daochu initially thought that he was hallucinating due to his practice, so he quickly used the Qingxin spell to suppress his distracting thoughts.
But after nine breaths, the huge trembling sound sounded again. Xu Dao was sure that it was not an illusion produced in his heart. He quickly stopped working and turned off the engine, and opened his eyes in surprise.
Xu Dao sat cross-legged in the cave and waited for a while. He heard the same trembling sound again and recognized it as the sound of a bell.
This sound came from outside the cave, and even though Xu Daode's cave had a formation to isolate outside sounds, it couldn't stop it at all.
At the same time, it seemed to resound from the bottom of Xu Dao's heart and emanate directly from his mind.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Dao looked at the direction of the White Bone Temple and thought in his heart: "Tao Discussion Conference!"
Thinking about it, Xu Dao turned his right hand, and a green fruit suddenly appeared on his palm. It was the Immortal Fruit that he got from Fang Guanhai.
When the Taoist priests in Guanzhong collected the spiritual objects that day, they did not take away the Immortality Fruit from the banners, but left them in the banners.
At the same time, there was no Taoist priest around Xu Dao, telling him how to refine the Immortality Fruit in his hand and use it to build the foundation.
I think other Taoist disciples who have obtained the Immortality Fruit should be the same as Xu Dao. At present, the Taoist temple is closed to the mountains and isolated from inside and outside. If the Taoist priests know the refining method, they will tell everyone at the Tao Discussion Conference.
