It didn't take much effort to get rid of the two people who wanted to kill people and seize the treasure. Xu Dao was surprised to find that the talisman money he had spent at the auction was almost back in his hands.

This was really a surprise for Xu Dao. He held the cloth belt filled with talisman money and thought to himself: "If I had known that this would be the case, why would I have gone around in circles with them and tried to get rid of them? I almost missed it."
But now is not the time to count the loot. Xu Dao raised his head and glanced in the direction of Sheshan. He pondered for a moment, then walked to the boulder with the flying sword inserted, pulled out the flying sword, wore it around his waist, and then
Then he disappeared into the forest.
This place is not too far from Sheshan Mountain. The movement that just occurred may still bring other Taoists or monks from Shezhao to come to investigate. If they are blocked by the other party, there may be trouble, so Xu Dao must leave quickly.
The night is deep, and the pale moon shines in the sky, making the vast mountains and forests below more beautiful.
However, there are countless snakes, insects and ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests, all of which are a scene of predators of the weak and strong. It is far from being as peaceful and peaceful as it appears.
Even the soft-looking mountain mist is often caused by the miasma and poisonous gas in the mountain. If an ordinary person enters it, not only will he be poisoned and die immediately, but he will also lose his way and be easily trapped in the mountain forest.
After Xu Dao immediately set up an ambush, he ran in the direction away from Sheshan for more than half an hour, going around in circles, and finally chose a valley with deep fog to rest.
The valley was slippery, and only the sound of snakes and insects could be heard all around.
Xu Dao walked out of the mist, ducked into a wet cave, chose a dry stone, and sat down cross-legged.
"The miasma here is dense, but it's not too cold and won't attract anyone's attention. Let's hide here for a while."
Sitting cross-legged and taking a breath, the first thing Xu Dao did was to take out the materials for setting up a simple formation from the cricket flags, and quickly arranged a breath-taking and invisible formation around him, sealing the cave and isolating it at the same time.
Sights and sounds inside and outside.
At the same time, he also released a stream of earthworms and scattered them in all directions as a warning and sentinel.
After finishing all the actions, Xu Daofang breathed a sigh of relief and took out the cloth belt he had just picked up at the ambush scene from his sleeve.
He shook the bag, but there was no sound inside the cloth belt, but after pouring in the magic power, he opened the cloth belt, and the talisman money inside slowly appeared in Xu Dao's eyes.
With joy in his eyes, he nodded carefully: "One thousand, one thousand one... seven thousand three, seven thousand three hundred and sixteen!"
There are a total of 7,316 talisman coins contained in the cloth belt. They are all red copper talisman coins made from copper juice. There are no higher level talisman coins.
This made Xu Dao raise his eyebrows. Although these talismans were a lot of money, they were still more than a thousand dollars behind what he spent at the auction.
However, after Xu Dao thought for a moment, he realized that when he participated in a small auction before, he had also thought about auctioning off the things in his hands, so he inquired about the process of auctioning things.
One of the rules is to put things up for auction, and the ghost market store will charge a certain commission from the auction price.
The commission at a small auction is directly 30% of the auction price. Due to the higher price of goods at a large auction, the commission may be smaller than that at a small auction, but it should not be lower.
Xu Dao's guess was correct. After the Gray Robe Man and Huang Dog Taoist sold the Feijian, the talisman money they received was only 80% of the auction price, which was 6,800 talisman money.
The reason why there are more than 7,300 money in the cloth belt is because the yellow dog Taoist and the gray robed man were originally from their own families.
After counting the talisman money, Xu Dao did not take the talisman money out of it, but continued to count the other things inside.
However, after rummaging around for a while, apart from digging out some clothes, monster materials and sundries in the cloth belt, he could not find anything else of great value.
There are no exercises either.
After rummaging through the cricket flags a few more times to avoid missing anything, Xu Dao finally stopped.
After counting, apart from the talisman money, there is still a question as to whether the total value of the things on the gray robe and the yellow dog Taoist exceeds one hundred talisman money.
Perhaps the most valuable ones are the cloth belt containing the talisman money, the corpse of the man in gray robe, and the ghost of Taoist Yellow Dog.
"How poor." Xu Dao sighed in his heart: "I can auction something like a flying sword, but I only have such a small amount of money in my pocket."
Xu Dao didn't know that if the gray robed man and the yellow dog Taoist had not been so poor, they would not have thought of selling Feijian and going out to kill people and rob goods.
This is because the flying sword was obtained by chance between the two of them, but it was difficult for them to divide the flying sword, so they had to put it up for auction.
And because the two of them thought that there were always people who were rare about flying swords, and the talisman money from the auction made them really feel distressed, they boldly tampered with the flying swords.
The original plan of the two of them was that if the flying sword was caught by a later Taoist disciple, or the tricks involved were discovered, they would just put it down and safely divide the talisman money obtained from the auction.
However, although Xu Dao was allowed to participate in the auction using the identity of "Daoren Lu", his cultivation level was only in the middle stage of body training and was not considered advanced among the two of them, which completely aroused the greed in their hearts.
The various actions Xu Dao made when leaving the auction also convinced them that Xu Dao had not seen through Feijian's tricks and was just a rich fat sheep.
The two of them even thought about saving Xu Dao's life and capturing him alive, so that they might be able to get a chance to make a fortune from Xu Dao's mouth.
Such a wrong decision caused them to fall directly into Xu Dao's hands, and they gave Xu Dao a treasure for nothing.
Xu Dao didn't know the above reasons, but the ghost of the Yellow Dog Taoist fell into his hands. If he wanted to know, he could just ask.
But Xu Dao is not ready to question Taoist Yellow Dog at the moment. On the one hand, he wants to show off the other person first, and on the other hand, he has something to do now.
After briefly counting the harvest, Xu Dao first took out a batch of debris from the cloth belt and burned it directly to prevent it from being tampered with by the yellow dog Taoist and the gray-robed man. There were also some monster materials and spiritual objects.
, as well as the yellow dog corpse that he cut in half, were all fed to the insect swarm, which was regarded as a reward of worms.
After finishing these things, Xu Dao hurriedly took the flying sword in his hand, held it up, placed it on his knees, and then poured his thoughts into the flying sword.
That's right, now he wants to completely refine this flying sword and then use it for himself.
A Taoist priest may be able to use a new magic weapon simply to test the power of the magic weapon, but if he wants to use it like an arm, he must use his own energy to warm the magic weapon.
If it is a magic weapon snatched from the enemy, even if it does not require special techniques to refine it, in order to open the magic weapon, the Taoist must first completely wipe out the residual Qi of others in the magic weapon before it can be completely refined.
None of these things can be accomplished in a short time. With Xu Dao's cultivation level, he would have to spend at least one night's effort.
And this was also the reason why he was too late to expel the residual Qi from Taoist Yellow Dog in Feijian, and was tracked by the other party using secret methods.
Xu Dao closed his eyes slightly, and after briefly checking the flying sword, he poured his true energy into the flying sword.
About eight hours later, he detected a subtle strange Qi in the flying sword, which was somewhere between the presence and absence of it. If he hadn't started refining the flying sword, it would be extremely difficult to discover this.
And even if he discovered it, if he hadn't had the experience of being intercepted and killed just now, he might not have thought that someone could actually do something to the magic weapon based on this little bit of true energy.
"Sure enough, the Taoism in the world is so mysterious that we have to guard against it." Xu Dao was suddenly shocked.
Although the interception and killing of the gray robed man and the yellow dog Taoist not only failed to achieve their goal, but also succeeded in delivering their wealth to him, this is not the reason why he should not reflect on it.
Shocked, Xu Dao also thought to himself: "This may also be because this flying sword is difficult to put into the flying sword and is directly exposed to the outside. Otherwise, there are stored magic weapons to isolate it, and most people will not bite it."
But when he thought of this, he secretly cursed himself.
This time, he did not expect Taoist Huanggou to have such a sophisticated tracking method. Next time, someone might be even more sophisticated. Even if there is a stored magic weapon as an isolation, he can still track and identify the direction for thousands of miles.
These things are not Xu Dao's delusions, such as the soul lamp...
At that moment, Xu Dao warned himself in his heart: "Everything you get in the future must be carefully checked to avoid disaster."
At the same time, he thought of the Yin Shen of the Yellow Dog Taoist, and immediately narrowed his eyes.
Some distracting thoughts arose in his mind, disrupting the progress of refining the flying sword. Xu Dao had to quickly clear his mind and concentrate on the process of refining the flying sword.
As time passed, the unknown cave here began to glow with white light again, and at the same time, the sound of the air vibrating and cutting was heard.
At the end, sharp sword sounds resounded in the cave. If Xu Dao had not arranged the formation, this sound could attract monsters and Taoists within a mile.
Xu Dao misestimated the time it would take him to refine the flying sword. A day passed, and when the light outside the cave became dark again, and night came, he failed to complete the refining process.
But this situation did not make him unhappy, but instead made him look forward to the flying sword even more.
A magic weapon needs to be warmed and cured. The longer it takes to be refined, the better the quality of the magic weapon.
When he obtained the wormwood banner before, Xu Dao concentrated on refining it overnight and completely controlled the banner. Now he spends twice as much time on the flying sword as on the wormwood banner. Doesn't it mean that the flying sword is more powerful than the wormwood banner?
powerful.
Moreover, the flying sword is different from the flying sword. The latter is good at confinement and storage, while the former is good at killing and speed.
This made Xu Dao's sense of expectation even greater!
Finally, when the moon was high in the sky, a crisp sword cry sounded in the cave.
Sizzling, the hard rock cave wall was poked with dense holes by invisible Qi machines.
"Good!" Xu Dao's laughter suddenly sounded in the cave. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the sword in front of him.
It is several feet long in shape and is ink-colored. It is slowly swimming around Xu Dao's body, as agile as a swimming fish.
Xu Dao stretched out a finger and pointed it in the air. He moved his finger gently and pointed, and the black flying sword followed his mind and wandered left and right, so fast that Xu Dao's naked eyes could only see an afterimage.
At the same time, a thought came to Xu Dao's mind, and he thought: "Get up!"
Zheng! The sound of swords echoed in the cave again.
I saw the black flying sword swimming crazily up and down Xu Daozhou's body. The sword energy screamed, the air vibrated, and the entire cave roared.
Moo! It's like a huge monster hiding in the cave is roaring.
And Xu Dao's body, which was sitting cross-legged on the stone, floated out of thin air. He was supported by the sword energy, his clothes were flying wildly, and his hair was shaking.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Dao felt happy in his heart. There was a look of interest in his eyes, and he immediately said: "Go!"
Ziya! Xu Dao's figure flashed immediately, he rushed out of the cave, and stepped directly into the miasma.
During this process, it was the first time for him to control a flying sword and he was not very familiar with it yet. The sword energy that overflowed left traces on the hard rock ground.
Stepping into the air, the flying sword continuously circled Xu Dao's side. The shadow of the sword flashed up and down, almost invisible, forming a spherical range with Xu Dao as the center.
If an outsider looks at it again, they will find that the air in the place where Xu Dao is is changing, just like the steam of summer heat, which is faintly distorted.
Xu Dao was surprised to find that the sword energy overflowed around his body, forming a steady stream of energy that allowed him to fly with the sword without being hit by the strong wind. At the same time, just like the qigong skills he had practiced, it was actually a
defensive barrier.
Not willing to hide in the miasma and secretly enjoy himself, Xu Dao thought to himself: "Let's go play in heaven."
Immediately, he jumped up and ran straight through the night sky. He lifted himself up from the miasma, broke through the mist, and ran under the moonlit sky.
