Chapter 256 Searching the Mountain and Checking the City
The ghost bodies of three ghost Taoist priests who have been practicing for hundreds of years are scattered on the field. The ghost aura is permeated and the wind is howling. Even though there are many signs of wear and tear, if the Taoist can collect some of the ghost aura from it, refine it and swallow it, no matter whether it is a person in the immortal way or a martial artist.
Everyone can benefit greatly.
The only thing wrong is that one of the three Taoist priests who abandoned their ghost bodies is in the realm of Ningsha, and his ghost body is mixed with evil spirits.
This evil spirit dispersed and howled in the wind, constantly defiling the ghost bodies of the other two Taoist priests.
As for the ghost body contaminated by the evil spirit, except for Taoist priests in the Ningsha realm who can easily refine it, Taoist priests in the Ligen realm who are new to foundation building have to spend a lot of hard work to refine it before they can absorb it.
Time was running out, and when the other Taoist priests were in a stalemate and did not take the lead to fight for it, Xu Dao immediately took action to contain the ghost energy that filled the sky to prevent the ghost energy that was polluted by the evil spirit from becoming too much.
He opened the wormfly flag and used it harder than in the previous fight. He mobilized all the magic power in his body and rolled up the ghost energy.
The other Taoist priests reacted and laughed loudly: "Jie!"
Xu Dao's action broke the stalemate between them, and each of the huge monsters stood in the city, with their huge mouths opened, and howling sounds like wind and thunder came out from their mouths.
Boom boom!
A total of thirteen qi machines swept across Jiangzhou City, competing with each other. There were many collisions during the process, and they almost came to blows.
In just a dozen breaths, the three ghost bodies that had practiced for hundreds of years were divided up by Xu Dao and others.
After absorbing Man Banzi's pure ghost energy, Xu Dao stroked the cricket banner with a smile on his face.
When he divided the one-eyed ghost body with Toad and Gecko before, the benefits brought by it allowed him to suddenly increase his Taoism for nearly twenty years, and his Immortal Dao cultivation directly climbed to the perfection of Qi Refining Realm.
Although only a small amount of the three ghost bodies have been divided up now, because the cultivation of the three ghost Taoist priests is deeper than that of Du Mu, the ghost body obtained by Xu Dao can still increase his Taoism for more than ten years after being refined.
.
It's just that he has reached a bottleneck in both immortality and martial arts. He either lacks spiritual roots or lacks skills. For the time being, he cannot use these pure ghost energies to improve his Taoism.
But it's not like he really can't use these ghosts.
Xu Dao secretly thought in his heart: "When I capture the spiritual root, these ghost energies will be able to assist my Yin Shen in building its foundation!"
When building the foundation of the physical body, although Xu Dao had already prepared, he still made a mistake. He did not expect that the consumption of spiritual energy during the foundation building process was extremely huge, which was far beyond what a Taoist disciple could purchase in a few years.
Since he wanted the Yin God to establish the foundation, he naturally had to start preparing the "food" needed for establishing the foundation early. This was also an important reason why he coveted the position of Jiangcheng Demon Envoy, thinking of searching for more resources for cultivating Taoism.
That’s all.
The sky above Jiangcheng is clear and the stars are falling.
After all the will-o'-the-wisps and ghost energy in the city were divided up, the Taoist priests stood alone in the city and began to refine the ghost energy that they had swallowed.
For these Taoist priests, the bodies of Taoist priests who are also in the foundation-building realm are a rare feast. Not only can they quickly make up for the loss of innate energy in the process of fighting, but they can also increase their Taoist practices.
However, Xu Dao was not able to refine it on the spot like them, so he set his sights on the still chaotic Jiangzhou City.
"Ah!" screams sounded from time to time. It was the Taoist disciples in Jiangcheng who were chasing the disciples of the Yaksha Sect.
All the Taoist priests from the Yaksha Gate were beaten away, and three of them even had their ghost bodies thrown into the city. Naturally, the disciples from the Yaksha Gate were heartbroken and had no fighting spirit.
The Taoist disciples who had just left their bodies had already fled back to the door.
However, because Yaksha Gate was previously besieging Jiangzhou City, the duration of the siege is difficult to estimate. Therefore, except for some Taoist disciples with advanced cultivation, most Taoist disciples came here in the physical body to facilitate the return of the Yin Shen to the physical body to recuperate.
.
But now, no matter how tightly they hide their bodies, each one of them can only be pulled out of their hiding place like a rabbit.
Once caught, these Yaksha disciples would be beaten to death on the spot, and their property, possessions and spirits would be divided up.
Although the net worth of a single Yaksha sect disciple is nothing to Xu Dao, the number of Yaksha sect disciples exceeds a thousand, and their combined net worth cannot be ignored. Naturally, Xu Dao cannot miss this great opportunity.
While the Taoist priests at White Bone Temple were still digesting the imperial edict, he quickly walked with Su Jiu and others through the dilapidated Jiangzhou City, and grabbed the Taoist disciples from Yaksha Gate like rabbits.
In order to ensure efficiency, Xu Dao was only responsible for killing, while Su Jiu, Chen Wan and others in the East Hall were responsible for counting the harvest, so that rewards could be given based on merit.
With the addition of Xu Dao, a Taoist priest-level fighting force, the remaining Yaksha Sect disciples in the city allowed themselves to be eaten by the mermaids in Jiang City. More and more people from Jiang City rushed out of the ghost city formation and killed the Yaksha Sect disciples.
Compete for benefits.
Such a chaotic scene lasted for several hours and finally came to an abrupt end.
This is because those Taoist priests from Shezhao and White Bone Temple have come back to their senses from their practice and participated in the process of searching for Yaksha Sect disciples.
Their methods are more cruel and terrifying than Xu Dao. Every time they catch a Taoist disciple, they will swallow it whole. Some people in Jiangcheng who can't avoid it in time, and Taoist disciples from White Bone Temple, are also swallowed by them.
.
Even though the people in Jiangcheng didn't know their true appearance, every one of them stopped fighting, and they didn't dare to fight with them, and they retreated back to the ghost market formation.
At the end, only Xu Dao was left outside the formation.
The other twelve Taoist priests, all swaying their huge bodies, walked inside and outside Jiangzhou City with greedy faces, constantly catching Yaksha Sect disciples and swallowing them with open mouths.
Xu Dao pressed the banners full of earthworms and looked at the behavior of the Taoist priests. The joy on his face had disappeared.
He sighed in his heart.
Compared with the ghost Taoist priests at Yaksha Gate, these twelve Taoist priests in front of us are undoubtedly more like hideous ghosts!
It's just that the disciples of the Yaksha Sect are all hostile forces, and the twelve Taoist priests are not something he can order.
Xu Dao could only lower his eyes, ignore this scene for the time being, and choose to keep it in mind.
Jiangzhou City is in ruins at night.
Black smoke billowed, and the remnants of the fire spread like stars across the entire city. All the remaining living people huddled in the ghost market formation.
When the sky darkened and the sun was about to emerge, the twelve Taoist priests finally stopped searching the mountain and inspecting the city. They all returned to the edge of the ghost market array in high spirits, with their faces glowing red.
Xu Dao raised his eyes to look at these Taoist priests and found that the resentment and demonic energy on their heads were entangled and flourishing.
In just the middle of the night, the momentum of these Taoist priests has increased a lot.
Among them, the snake-headed Taoist priest from Shezhao, who was already on the verge of refining the Gang, had strong magical power and had been completely replenished by his 180 years of Taoism. He only needed to collect Gang Qi to break through to the realm of Refining the Gang.
The twelve Taoist priests, all of whom had benefited greatly, stood outside the formation, sizing up the Jiangcheng Taoist disciples in the formation like chickens and dogs in cages, with greedy and sinister eyes.
But when they saw Xu Dao sitting cross-legged in the formation and looking at them calmly, the twelve Taoist priests remembered that they had more important things to do.
They then stopped coveting the Taoist disciples in the formation, and instead chanted excitedly:
"Disciples, come out of the city!"
"Follow someone to cut down mountains, destroy temples, and destroy demons!"
