The demonic beast flesh and blood stolen from She Zhao was used to refine a large amount of blood honey for Xu Dao. However, due to the limited storage space, compared to the benefits obtained by the swarm of earthworms and flies in the lake, Xu Dao's own benefits were
Still a little bit weaker.
But even so, in less than half a month, Xu Dao not only completed the process of martial arts meat refining, his physical body reached the late stage of body refining, his immortal cultivation level also increased by four to five years, and his Yin Shen Tao practice increased to thirty years, which is far away from the body refining stage.
There is still twenty years left before Qi reaches Consummation.
Calculated, the blood honey gained has allowed him to gain nearly twenty years of spiritual power, which is almost as good as an Immortal Fruit in the Black Mountain.
Moreover, in order to lay a solid foundation for the physical body, Xu Dao also wasted a lot of blood honey. If others were to use it, the waste could at least increase the Taoist practice by two or three years.
"Twenty-five years of physical Taoism and thirty years of Yin Shen Taoism. I still have some blood and honey in my hands, and I can continue to increase my cultivation for several years. But if I want to gain so much now, it is time to end the retreat and adapt to polishing my true energy.
.”
In the cave, thoughts flashed through Xu Dao's mind.
He planned to keep the remaining bit of blood honey in his hands temporarily in case of emergency needs. After all, blood honey is a pure spiritual liquid. In addition to being used for cultivation, it can also be used as talismans, medicinal materials, etc.
If Xu Dao's magic power is insufficient when facing an enemy, he can directly swallow blood and honey to absorb spiritual energy, which is much faster than refining talisman money.
After some calculation in his mind, Xu Dao opened his eyes. He looked at the dark cave room and said in his heart: "Let's get out of seclusion and return to Shezhao Mountain City."
At that moment, he suddenly stood up from the ground, flicked his sleeves, and two snake-shaped energy spurted out, immediately sucking some things in the cave into the earthworm flags, and then opened the stones that blocked the cave.
In an instant, golden rays of light shot down from the west and fell on Xu Dao's face as he walked to the entrance of the cave.
The sun was not hot, but it made him feel the slightest warmth on his face, and he closed his eyes comfortably for a moment.
Walking out of the temporary cave comfortably, Xu Dao found that the mountain air outside was getting better and better, with mist transpiring in the mountains, mixed with the songs of animals and birds, giving people a sense of wild beauty.
Seeing the beautiful scenery, he felt comfortable.
In addition, he had gained a lot from just one trip to Shezhao's Dragon Vein these days. Adding up all these things, it was no less than a trip to Montenegro, so he couldn't help but feel unhappy.
Even Xu Dao is still considering these days, whether he should go into the Shezhao Dragon Vein again, steal more monster flesh and blood, and make Nanke wormflies brew into blood honey.
Maybe if he does it twice more, he can cultivate his body and soul to the perfect state of body refining and qi refining, and just wait for the foundation to be built.
But it was a pity that after learning that there were foundation-building Taoist priests paying attention to the lake, Xu Dao believed that the risks involved were very high. He could not think of a safe strategy, so he could only put it aside and keep it in his heart silently.
"What else do you want to do with this? Let's go back to Shezhao Mountain City to have a rest and find out the news together. Maybe there will be a turn for the better."
Xu Dao thought to himself, and then he shook his head and threw all these things behind his mind.
Then he stretched out his hand, opened his mouth and grasped, and a ball of black light immediately appeared in his hand.
Wu Guang is the cuttlefish sword. After half a month of self-digestion and Xu Dao refining it for a period of time, the copper and iron energy it absorbed has long been digested.
After refining several thousand kilograms of copper and iron, the texture of the cuttlefish sword increased. Although there was no obvious change, it was still a gain.
One thing worth mentioning is that, as Ru Shudao had figured out when refining the flying sword, the shape that can best bring out the power of the cuttlefish sword is not the shape of a long sword, nor is it the shape of a gourd made to contain the energy of copper and iron.
is spherical,
In its spherical shape, the cuttlefish sword has a compact body, the strongest texture, and sufficient strength. When it shuttles through the air, it encounters very little wind resistance, and it works well in all aspects.
Of course, if Xu Dao wants to fight with people with a sword, or refine other metals, disguise his identity, etc., the sword shape and gourd shape are more suitable.
For example, Xu Dao now, because he wants to control the flying sword to fly to Shezhao, and he doesn't want others to associate him with his previous identity at the auction, so the cuttlefish flying sword is still in the form of an iron gourd, and it is slowly moving
Turn around him.
Every time it goes around, the iron gourd will grow bigger. Until the gourd becomes the size of a human being and can no longer be stretched, the surface of the iron gourd will show an interesting look.
I saw him flying in the air, suddenly sitting down cross-legged, just sitting on the gourd.
Xu Dao's laughter sounded near the cave. He sat on the gourd, shaking his head and chanting:
"Please take off baby."
After uttering one sentence, the huge iron gourd carried him spinning around in mid-air, and then the mouth of the gourd was pointed at the cave, and several sword energy crackled out.
The sword energy immediately collapsed the cave, and at the same time caused the gourd to fly into the air.
Xu Dao sat upside down on it, with his hands in his sleeves, his clothes fluttering, and his hair tangled, looking at ease.
It's a pity that there are no mortals here, otherwise anyone who sees it will definitely shout: "Immortal!"
………………
After sorting out the harvest, his appearance and decoration changed at the same time, Xu Dao drove the gourd and flew southward, falling straight into the mountain city of Shezhao.
This time, his skill has greatly increased, and the cultivation and methods he reveals to the outside world can be more tyrannical, which can also be used to deter others, lest shady things come to disturb his eyes.
But even though Xu Dao had thought so carefully, he never expected that when he returned to his foothold in the mountain city, before he could get a firm foothold, he realized that someone was already looking for trouble for him.
Xu Dao came back and found that the environment of Lu's medicine shop was still quiet, the floor tiles in the courtyard were clean, there was no bleak scene, and there were still lights lit.
But as soon as he returned here, a cricket that stayed in the courtyard flew to his side and gave him a piece of news.
"One person is missing?" He raised his eyebrows after receiving the news.
Before he could communicate with the beetle in the courtyard, someone happened to push out the door of a wing room and saw Xu Dao in the courtyard.
"Master, you are back!"
Immediately, respectful words were heard in the courtyard, and it was the voice of an old swordsman. The other party had a rag hanging on his shoulders and a candle in his hand, and he was striding out of the room.
Xu Dao glanced at the other party and did not jump off the gourd. Instead, he sat directly on it and asked the swordsman calmly:
"What happened in the courtyard while Pindao was out, and where was Su Jiu?"
Hearing that Xu Dao already knew the situation in the courtyard before he landed, the old swordsman's face became stern and he said to himself: "Good guy! I really have a backup plan in the courtyard. Fortunately, I didn't run around."
Not daring to hide anything, the swordsman surnamed Sha immediately told everything that happened in the mountain city during the time Xu Dao was out.
It turned out that after Xu Dao sent Weiying back to deliver the letter, the two people in the courtyard became more low-key. Except for going out to buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, they never left the house easily.
And the little fox girl Su Jiu learned martial arts skills from Xu Dao, and her strength greatly increased, becoming more powerful day by day, and she was far from the weak little maid she was before.
But even so, Su Jiu always wrapped her head with a scarf whenever she went out. She never argued with anyone, kept a low profile, and most of the time she begged the swordsman to go out for her.
What Su Jiu does most every day is to stay in the underground darkroom and polish her skills.
But even so, Su Jiu was targeted seven or eight days ago when she just bought some things for her daughter's family in a nearby street.
The other party also devised a plan to offend Su Jiu and take him away. Fortunately, Su Jiu was not fooled. She chose to put down her things directly, turned around and walked back to the house, and informed the swordsman.
When the other party saw that the trick was not working, he actually came directly to the door, found an excuse at random, and wanted to kidnap Su Jiu.
"Even if we hid in the secret room and reported the master's name, the man still refused to let go... In the end, because he was worried that the secret room that the master had worked so hard to decorate would be destroyed, Jiu'er took the initiative to stand up and talk to the man
He left and left me here waiting for the master to come home."
The swordsman lowered his head and said word by word: "That man left immediately after he got Su Jiu, and didn't send anyone back to take the little one's life."
Xu Dao narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened.
According to what the swordsman said, the other party was obviously a practitioner. He discovered the energy and blood in Su Jiu's body, so he must be coveting something, and then he wanted to take Su Jiu away.
After all, Su Jiu had just practiced martial arts. Even if she wrapped strange parts of her body with cloth, her energy and blood would not be covered in such a simple way.
And judging from the other party's methods, the other party is not very afraid of Xu Dao, a master in the "mid-term body training". Either he wants to take advantage of him, or he wants to leave some room, so he doesn't eliminate the root cause, but just captures the person.
thing.
Xu Dao asked calmly: "Who is that person? Has he left a name?"
When the swordsman heard this, he shook his head in shame and said, "I don't know, but that man came at night. He was wearing black clothes, so I couldn't see his appearance. After catching Jiu'er, he flew away without a trace."
Patiently, Xu Dao conducted a careful interrogation of the swordsman and went directly to the secret room to take a few glances to make sure that the swordsman was not lying.
For a moment, he also secretly speculated whether the person who kidnapped Su Jiu came for him.
But Xu Dao thought about it and felt that this possibility was unlikely.
He secretly thought in his heart: "What do you want to do with this? Just come to the door, kill the opponent, and bring that girl Su Jiu back."
Although Su Jiu was just a little maid he rescued casually on the road, now that he had taught the other party the martial arts skills of the skin-refining realm, the two of them had a destiny, and it was barely worth his while.
"That person can be blocked by the formation in the secret room for a moment, and his cultivation level is not much higher. He can't be a foundation-building Taoist priest..." Xu Dao thought about it, and suddenly became convinced.
He is now at the late Taoist realm in terms of both immortal martial arts and cultivation, and he also has two magical weapons in his hands. Except for Taoist priests who are in the foundation-building realm, he doesn't pay much attention to the other Taoist disciples.
Moreover, he also thought that since his skill had greatly increased now, he just needed to find someone to do it to test his strength, especially his prowess in martial arts.
At that moment, Xu Dao made up his mind and thought to himself: "The person who took me should at least spit something out."
But if the other party has a good background, is related to Taoist priests in the foundation-building realm, or has a large number of people, he will definitely not take big risks to save him.
After making a decision, Xu Dao said directly to the swordsman: "You continue to stay in the courtyard. I will go out and bring Su Jiu back soon."
"Yes, my lord is very kind!" The swordsman heard this and quickly lowered his head and bowed to him.
After Xu Dao said a word, he didn't pay attention to anything in the courtyard. He just sat on the gourd and flew in a certain direction.
A gray shadow immediately began to wander over Shezhao Mountain City.
Flying so blatantly in mid-air, even though it was nighttime, it still attracted the attention of many people.
It's just that Taoists who can possess flying magic weapons are powerful characters among Taoist disciples, and no one dares to disturb them easily.
Although the person who captured Su Jiu did not leave his name or background, Xu Dao guessed from his behavior that this person should have lived in Sheshan, and there was a high possibility that he was a member of Shezhao's tribe.
Perhaps he could find out the identity and address of the person by asking someone in the mountain town or ghost market.
But in this way, it will also alarm the other party and expose Xu Dao, making him turn from darkness to light.
Fortunately, Xu Dao hid Nanke wormflies in Su Jiu and the swordsman surnamed Sha early in the morning. Even if the two of them died, as long as the wormflies on their bodies were not dead and the distance was not too far, Xu Dao would have the means to find them.
At most it will take some effort.
Xu Dao slowly circled around the mountain city. After a few circles, Xu Dao suddenly stopped and looked at the top of Sheshan Mountain.
It was he who relied on the ant king's telepathy to run around and determine the approximate location of several earthworms. He also relied on the swarm of insects under his command to capture the remaining traces of those earthworms and follow them all the way.
The lingering traces of the smell were looming, extending all the way up to the heights of Sheshan Mountain. The higher they went, the ant king could more clearly identify the locations of several earthworms.
Xu Dao thought in his heart: "As expected, the thieves who kidnapped Su Jiu are in Sheshan, and most of them are from Shezhao."
In this way, he must not show his true colors to avoid causing trouble. After all, the other party has a backer, and he is currently just a casual cultivator.
Although Xu Dao was aware of this, he didn't hesitate much. He sat down on the gourd and floated towards the ghost market on the top of Sheshan Mountain.
He was just secretly seeking personal revenge, and it was not like he came directly to smash the edict. He had nothing to fear. The worst he could do was grease his soles and run away.
Just after entering the Shezhao Ghost Market, he still wanted to buy some supplies and inquire about news.
After a while, Xu Dao climbed to the top of the mountain and came to the ghost market.
The gate of the ghost market remained the same as before, but when many Taoist boys saw him flying in on the gourd, their eyes lit up. They were much more enthusiastic than before, and they came over one after another to guide Xu Tao.
Xu Dao pretended to be a high-roller and blended directly into all kinds of people.
