Refining the blood of your heart takes varying amounts of time.
But even if the Ant King cooperates 100%, and he can use Gu to control it and sense the progress in the alchemy furnace at all times, Xu Dao still spent nine days to get to the Ant King's mind.
The part contains a "blood elixir".
During these nine days, he almost stayed awake. In addition to taking care of the stove, he tried his best to study the problems that may be encountered during the foundation construction process, striving to have a plan to deal with any situation that arises in the future.
The spiritual energy in the cave was extremely rich. Every time Xu Dao took a breath, he felt a refreshing feeling in his lungs, and the flames under the copper and iron furnace were burning brightly.
Bang! Suddenly, the alchemy furnace shook slightly.
"It's done!"
Xu Dao, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, suddenly opened his eyes. He immediately saw the lid of the alchemy furnace loosen, releasing streams of scarlet smoke.
Xu Dao then stretched out his hand to grab it and opened the lid of the alchemy furnace. A burst of red light that had been suppressed for a long time immediately burst out from it, rendering the entire cave ablaze with red.
There is a strange fragrance coming from the alchemy furnace, which is so tempting that it makes people salivate and makes them feel hungry and greedy.
This kind of hunger does not come from the human belly, but comes from the bones, and even every inch of flesh and blood. It is the greedy and longing feeling in the heart.
Xu Dao stared at the alchemy furnace closely, almost wanting to jump directly into the furnace, stay in the furnace and devour the contents in big mouthfuls.
"Such a vision is much more powerful than when the dog demon blood was refined from the yellow dog corpse!"
Feelings arose in his heart, and the distracting thoughts in his mind suddenly surged. He simply closed his eyes slightly and stopped staring at the alchemy furnace.
The strange fragrance wafted out of the alchemy furnace and lasted for three hours.
The aroma of this elixir filled the entire cave. If it weren't for the strict formations surrounding it that could seal away spiritual energy, odors and other objects, such a phenomenon would have attracted all the living creatures in the nearby mountains and forests.
A long time passed after the third hour, and Xu Dao finally opened his eyes again. He looked at the red light floating in the alchemy furnace, and his eyes were filled with confusion again.
"After three hours of cold elixir, the fire must have subsided and only the warmth is left. The next step is to take it while it's hot!"
He was so excited that he no longer had to endure it. He stretched out his hand and took out the Ant King that had been refined for a long time in the alchemy furnace.
Now the ant king has only its last glimmer of vitality left, and its appearance is greatly different from before entering the alchemy furnace.
Although it still looks like a dragon, the flesh and blood all over its body has become transparent, and its bones are also transparent, like ice crystals and agar.
Xu Dao held the ant king's body in his hands and could clearly see his own palm prints through the ant king's body.
There was only one difference. This part of the ant king's body was not only opaque, but instead emitted a thick and solid red light.
This is the seven-inch position of the dragon ant king. There is a round lump in it. It is round and thick, and the whole body is bright red. It is more exquisite than the finest red agate.
Holding the seven-inch figure of the Ant King in his hands, Xu Dao lowered his head and looked at it, with a sense of trance in his eyes for a moment.
But the next moment, he squeezed the ant king's body tightly, made a knife with his right hand, and dug into it fiercely, trying to get out the blood elixir, that is, the heart blood.
But even though the Ant King was cooked by him in the alchemy furnace for nine whole days, and all the essence and blood in his body were condensed in his heart orifices, his skin, flesh, muscles and bones were still the body of a monster in the foundation-building realm. As a Taoist disciple who had not yet established the foundation,
Even the opponent's scales are difficult to scratch for a while.
Not daring to use magic to directly bombard him, Xu Dao spent a lot of effort to open the slightest wound.
This scene made him marvel, and he thought for no reason: "The body of the monster is so tough. If it were a mortal or a Taoist who wanted to practice double cultivation with the monster, it would probably be difficult to pierce it."
Fortunately, he still had a way. After thinking for a while, Xu Dao pinched his hand and waved, and the cuttlefish sword thrown in another cave flew towards him.
The sword is round and lumpy, about the same size as the blood elixir in the body of a dragonfly.
As soon as he thought about it, the cuttlefish sword changed from the shape of a jumping pill to the shape of a flying sword. The sword on it screamed, which was perfect for cutting through the skin and scales of the dragon ant king.
A sizzling sound sounded.
With great difficulty, Xu Dao finally cut open the ant king's seven-inch position, pinched its body with both hands, squeezed hard, and squeezed out a thick blood-like substance.
Drops of it fell, suspended in mid-air, and gathered into groups.
After squeezing the blood out of his heart, Xu Dao directly wrapped the slender body of the Dragon Ant King around his body, and then looked at the blood in front of him.
This object was not solid, but it was not an ordinary liquid either. Except that it was blood red in color, it was very similar to silver amalgam. It was heavy and suspended in his chest, spinning slowly.
A stronger medicinal fragrance rushed out from it and penetrated the tip of Xu Dao's nose, almost knocking his brain out.
Fortunately, several pure heart talismans were working together in his mind, so he resisted the urge to swallow this thing in one gulp and maintained a clear look in his eyes.
Just like Xu Dao gave blood to the swordsman named Sha before, the best way to take the heart blood is to put it in the heart orifice, use your own warm blood to refine it, and swallow it orally.
If the Taoist really can't help it and swallows it by mouth, the effect of the medicine will be wasted and the effect on foundation building will be trivial. He is afraid that it will fall into the human stomach for a long time, damage the intestines and stomach, and directly damage the Taoist's health.
physical body.
The heart blood was successfully refined, and when it was time to take this substance and plant the spiritual roots, Xu Dao's eyes flashed, and he reviewed the next things in his mind over and over again.
He took three deep breaths, finally lowered his head and stared at his chest.
Letting the red heart blood continue to float in front of him, Xu Dao stretched out his hands, with sharp nails, directly scratching the membrane on his chest.
A stinging feeling passed from his chest into his brain, causing his face to twitch.
In fact, it is best to have someone assist you in the process of blood transfusion, so as not to be careless during severe pain, or accidentally hurt your own organs.
But Xu has no good teachers and no helpful friends. Even if he had, he would not put his life in the hands of others, so he could only do it by himself.
It is impossible to use poison to paralyze the physical body during this process, otherwise it is very likely to lead to a big mistake.
After Xu Dao got used to the severe pain, he immediately stretched out his left hand and peeled off the flesh on his chest. A burst of golden light pressed into the flesh and blood to prevent blood from splattering out.
Fortunately, the size of the heart blood at the refining site of the Dragon Seed Earthworm was moderate. Although it was larger than the bloodline of the dog demon last time, Xu Dao did not need to pull apart his ribs or sternum.
He searched for the gap between the internal organs, made a sharp cut on his heart, then held up the blood from his heart with his right hand, and stuffed it directly into the heart.
Heart blood is a strange thing. After it is stained with Xu Dao's flesh and blood, it does not need Xu Dao to use magic power to force it in. It will be like a ball of living things, attached to the flesh and blood, and then look for openings, and the blood will be even more inside.
Get into dense places.
Xu Dao looked down, his neck bent, and his posture was extremely weird.
He looked at the red mercury-like substance refined from the pill, squirming and squeezing into his atrium, and instantly felt that it was being stretched, giving him a very full feeling.
This made Xu Dao frown and look a little strange.
Fortunately, although the heart blood behaved like a living thing just now, it was actually a completely dead thing. After taking out the heart blood, the Dragon Ant King was already on his deathbed.
Its last bit of vitality is constantly being consumed. If the spiritual energy around it wasn't so strong that it could kill it, it would have died long ago.
Xu Dao didn't have time to care so much. After filling his heart with blood, he quickly covered the flesh and blood on his chest and smoothed the skin with his hands, and then the qi and blood of his physical body circulated.
The wound he cut with his fingernails scabbed over at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a red line in the blink of an eye.
Such a speed of healing was within Xu Dao's expectations, but the next scene exceeded his expectations.
After the wound on his chest was closed, the healing speed was not yet complete. Granule sprouts suddenly emerged from the centipede-like red line, each of them squirming, adhering the flesh and blood membranes that had joined together even more closely.
Xu Dao only felt that his eyes were blurred. As the granules squirmed, the wound on his chest kept getting lighter. Until the last granule penetrated into the flesh, the wound had completely healed, leaving no scars.
He looked at his smooth chest in amazement, stroked it gently with his hand, and whispered: "It's so fast! Has the heart blood started to take effect?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the muscles in his body trembled, and a heavy feeling of hunger was transmitted from his body.
With a flick of the brush, Xu Dao's originally calm expression turned ferocious, his eyes were red and filled with a beast-like hunger and thirst.
The spiritual platform has not yet been lost, but his thoughts have become sluggish. Xu Dao endures this feeling and hugs his body with his hands, his whole body trembling with hunger.
If there were any outsiders here, they would find that starting from Xu Dao's heart, red lines emerged one after another, arching up his skin and spreading throughout his body.
At the same time, small bulges appeared one after another in the flesh and blood on his body, like little mice quivering under the flesh.
At this moment, the several pure heart spells in Xu Dao's mind were vibrating crazily, and auras of spiritual light were hanging down, trying his best to maintain his sanity.
After holding his body and thinking about it for ten breaths, he finally remembered what this situation was about.
"This, this is the physical body that needs nutrients to support and transform. You cannot blindly suppress your hunger, otherwise your mind will be lost sooner or later. You must quickly fill your belly with something!"
Raising his head with difficulty, Xu Dao was trembling all over. He grabbed the pill bottle containing Bigu Pills from the various pill bottles placed nearby.
With trembling fingers, he wanted to pour a Bigu Pill out of the bottle and stuff it into his stomach, but due to unbearable hunger, he raised his head and poured nearly ten Bigu Pills in the bottle into his mouth at once.
While his throat was squirming, he didn't even chew, and all the Bigu Pills fell into his stomach.
But after swallowing this bottle of Bigu Pills, his hunger was not relieved at all. Instead, he seemed to taste a little sweetness, and he became more and more thirsty for food to fill his stomach.
You must know that one bigu pill can ensure that a Taoist does not need to eat for one month, and nine pills means nine months.
Without time to think too much, Xu Dao simply took another bottle of bigu pills from the side, slid his throat, raised his head and poured them all into his stomach.
After swallowing four bottles of bigu pills in a row, his belly still seemed to be burning with flames. Unable to bear it, Xu Dao grabbed other pills next to him and poured them into his stomach.
Poison-removing pills, soul-nourishing pills, blood-building pills... all kinds of pills that he always had on hand were all swallowed by him.
But after swallowing so many pills, nearly a hundred in number, his abdomen was still flat and the hunger in his body was not relieved.
Sitting in the cave, Xu Dao looked around blankly. He reached out and grabbed the body of the ant king, suddenly held its head, opened his mouth wide, and started chewing with red eyes.
Creak, creak, creak!
In the cave, Xu Dao's figure was illuminated by the firelight under the alchemy furnace, and his shadow was reflected on the wall. He looked strange, with sharp teeth, and he devoured it with big mouthfuls, and the juice from his bites splashed everywhere.
From beginning to end, the dragon ant king's body was swallowed into his belly with every last bit left.
Xu Daohuan looked around and suddenly stood up from the ground. He shook his body, passed the copper and iron furnace in front of him, identified the direction, and walked towards the cave on the other side.
There are earthworm flags placed there, and there is blood food in the flags...
