Xu Dao walked in the fairy garden. Except for a few demons and ghosts in the middle and late stages of foundation building, he did not have to avoid all other demons and ghosts. It can be called a rampant fairy garden.
In addition to the demons and ghosts that can move around in the fairy garden, there are naturally a lot of Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma lucidum. Xu Dao searched for them all the way. Even if he didn't have any skills in his hands, he had already transformed his body's Taoism from fifty to fifty with the help of Hualong.
The year has been raised to sixty years, and the Taoism has increased by ten years.
You must know that he is now in the realm of foundation building. The strength represented by each year's Taoist practice is more than three times that of the Qi Refining Taoist disciple. The spiritual energy and mental effort required are naturally several times that of the Qi Refining Taoist disciple.
It is precisely with the improvement of strength that cultivation also becomes difficult. This is why after becoming a Taoist priest, Taoists can still compare their strength and realm with the number of years of Taoism.
The mana has increased so much, and naturally a lot of resources have been consumed during it.
Xu Dao thought that if he hadn't entered this fairy garden, if he wanted to do this in the outside world, even if he was good at drawing talismans and running a business, it would still take nearly ten years.
The only thing that makes him regretful is that although the fairy garden is good, the things inside cannot be packed and taken out of the outside world. Otherwise, he would be determined to search instead of looking for food while practicing. Maybe the food needed for the entire foundation-building realm will be lost.
Found by him.
At this time, I was at the bottom of a valley in the fairy garden.
Xu Dao broke open a rock with his hand and took out a piece of jade-like object, which was only as big as his palm.
To be precise, this thing is raw jade. It has not been carved. If it falls into the hands of a skilled craftsman, it will definitely turn into a piece of exquisite jade. The only difference is that this jade is full of inspiration and has accumulated a lot of spiritual energy.
.
Such jade can already be called spiritual jade or spiritual stone.
Xu Dao stroked the jade in his hand with surprise in his eyes.
He had read it in some miscellaneous books. It was said that before the Holy Tang Dynasty, Taoist monks in the world used jade containing spiritual energy for trade. Its function is the same as that of talisman money. Taoists can absorb the spiritual energy in it to replenish their magic power and practice.
There are many wonderful uses.
However, this type of spiritual energy jade often only grows in the essence of heaven and earth, and it takes time for the spiritual energy to be trapped in the rocks.
Therefore, even if it is a core place of spiritual veins, especially spiritual veins that have not been formed for a long time, it will not take tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years to produce this thing.
For example, the Baigu Mountain Spiritual Vein and the Shezhao Spiritual Vein that Xu Dao has visited before, the core area is just that the concentration of spiritual energy is much higher than other places, and it is easy for monsters and spiritual objects to grow, and no spiritual energy jade has been condensed, even if it is half a piece.
No.
After years of mining by Taoists, especially in the era when several immortal saints emerged, all the aura jade in the world has been mined out.
As a result, later Taoists only heard of its name, and not many people had seen the real thing. Even if they had seen it, today's Taoists would only use spiritual energy jade and ores as materials for alchemy, treasure refining, and talisman painting, and would not be willing to use them as materials.
Use it like talisman money.
Xu Dao looked closely at the palm-sized jade in his hand, and was really surprised: "This fairy garden is really a good place, and even the spiritual energy jade remains."
But after sighing with emotion, he used his five fingers to crush the palm-sized spiritual energy jade into pieces. Then he sat cross-legged and immediately swallowed up the escaped spiritual energy to increase his magic power.
Unable to take this thing out, even if it was rare or could be of greater value in alchemy and weapon refining, Xu Dao could only choose to squeeze it dry and absorb it using the most primitive means.
Naturally, the amount of spiritual energy contained in such a naturally nourished thing far exceeds that of copper talisman coins of the same size.
In just this palm-sized jade, Xu Dao estimated that the spiritual energy in it was equivalent to one or two thousand talisman coins. Moreover, he looked at it and found that most of the jade inside was made of ordinary stone, and the quality was quite poor.
It is not a qualified spiritual stone.
After sucking up the spiritual energy from the spiritual energy jade, Xu Dao felt that his magic power had increased a lot. In addition to a feeling of fullness, his Yin spirit and physical body also felt a comfortable feeling, which was far better than refining.
The body of the demon is much better.
Xu Dao estimated that if all he refined in the fairy garden were this kind of spiritual energy jade, the loss rate during the refining process would be much smaller. At the same time, after leaving the fairy garden, he would need more time to polish his mana.
The effort spent will also be much less.
Therefore, after refining the piece of spiritual energy jade he came across, Xu Dao was greatly moved and quickly started searching around to see if there were any other jade stones.
It's a pity that even though he dug around for three feet, he still couldn't find another piece of spiritual energy jade.
This made Xu Dao have to put down this idea and continue to rush to the important place of the fairy garden recorded on the Lei Zhao map. He also vaguely realized in his heart that the spiritual energy and jade stones had appeared, which was far away from the place where the golden elixir spiritual roots were stored.
Not far away.
as expected.
After Xu Dao walked and walked for two or three hours, he suddenly left the barren mountains and came to a group of buildings.
Looking up, all he could see in front of his sight were walls and eaves. However, these walls and eaves were all fragmented, dilapidated, and looked like a desolate and lifeless scene.
"This is?"
Xu Dao walked inside, stepped on the bricks on the ground, and bent down to look down.
At this time, he discovered that these bricks and rubble were in a state of decay and could break into pieces when pinched. It was not like they could become like this after decades of hard work.
In addition, although there are many monsters and strange fog in the fairy garden, there is no evil wind blowing, which means that these buildings collapsed and fell into disrepair hundreds, or even more than a thousand years ago.
Xu Dao rubbed a piece of broken tile in his hand and scattered the ashes.
He continued to walk forward with vigilance, and more and more buildings appeared in his sight, including pavilions, pavilions, bridges and aisles, countless, which could make people imagine how prosperous this place once was.
In particular, although there are many palaces in these buildings, they are not the residences of secular people. No matter how time washes away, the marks left by the monastics in them are still difficult to erase.
Since it is not a place where ordinary people live, and combined with the fact that this place is in a fairy garden, Xu Dao immediately guessed:
"This is probably the residence of the former disciples of Xianyuan."
He turned around and looked, and found that just where he walked, the ruins were vast. From his perspective, they could already accommodate the lives of 100,000 people.
Even if the people who once lived here were just Taoist children, there are still a lot of them.
You must know that on Baigu Mountain, the number of Taoist boys adopted by Baigu Temple every year is only a few hundred. If you add those who are demoted to handymen every year, as well as some mortals, the number will reach more than ten thousand.
The ruins in Xu Dao's eyes are just a corner, not the whole picture.
This made him walk past the collapsed walls, dry pools, and grassy steps... one by one, with no emotion in his eyes.
Xu Dao is now 100% sure that the current ruins were not abandoned by the Erhai Dao Palace on its own initiative, nor were they once used by the Erhai Dao Palace to support its disciples.
It should be where the mountain gate of the real owner of the fairy garden was located thousands of years ago.
This is not just because Erhai Dao Palace has only opened its fairy garden to the public every three years since ancient times.
It is also because the Erhai Taoist Palace, even with the help of the whole country of Wu, can barely support more than a hundred Taoist priests. The total number of Taoist disciples carefully raised by each Taoist priest is only more than a thousand, which is about the same as the Yaksha Gate. As for other Taoist priests,
Children, handymen and the like were not regarded as Taoists at all, but were treated as ordinary people and were fostered in Wudu City.
The Erhai Taoist Palace will not and does not need to build such a grand palace in the fairy garden to accommodate its disciples.
Xu Dao looked at the ruins in his eyes, his eyes filled with yearning: "Did the people who used to practice Taoism practice in places with such rich spiritual energy? The number of disciples of the Dao Zong Xuanmen is so many.
?!"
In the past, he only listened to his predecessors' stories about the prosperous age of immortality thousands of years ago in books, but now he intuitively felt the prosperous age of immortality from the ruins of the fairy garden.
Xu Dao was calculating in his mind: "And this is just the gate of the fairy garden of real ghosts and immortals. There are also the blessed land of land immortals and the cave of golden immortals. Each level is wider and higher, and the real top Taoist sect is unknown.
Xuanmen, what kind of scene will it have at its mountain gate, and whether it can really be called the 'immortal world'."
According to the records in "Hundred Explanations of Cultivation", the mountain gates of some Taoist sects are almost completely different from the ordinary world. The Ganoderma lucidum and Lingcao inside them are useless, and even ordinary ants will be different from those in the outside world.
Monsters, not extraordinary beasts.
These disciples of Daozong Xuanmen regard their own mountain gate as the "immortal world", and regard the mortal world outside the mountain gate as the "mortal world" and "human world".
It's a pity that Xu Dao has already missed this prosperous age of immortality. If he had been born a thousand years earlier, he might still be able to catch the last train.
Fortunately, even though he was born thousands of years later, the Taoism in the world has not been completely destroyed, and he still has the opportunity to enter the heavenly paradise of these Taoism sects.
Just like now, he has entered a fairy garden to enjoy the autumn breeze.
During his wandering, Xu Dao could not only look at these ruins and daydream about them, but he could not just look at them, but he "digbed three feet deep" in an attempt to gain some benefit from these ruins.
But it is a pity that the entire ruins are very clean, there is not a single rag or paper, there are only broken bricks and tiles, and the vegetation growing among them.
If there were, hundreds of thousands of years later, they would have been raided by the Erhai Taoist Palace and the Taoist disciples who came here to practice.
After a lot of effort, Xu Dao had no choice but to give up and completely withdraw his attention from the corner of the ruins, and instead began to look for monsters, ghosts, and Ganoderma lucidum that might exist around him.
But what disappointed him again was that he had clearly arrived at an important place in the fairy garden, and the spiritual energy was more intense. Even a breath of it could make Qi Refining Taoist disciples feel "drunk", but the surrounding land was actually worse than outside the ruins.
It was even more barren, with no spiritual beings that could catch his eye at all.
Unwilling to continue exploring the depths of the ruins, Xu Dao finally knew the cause of the problem.
I saw him standing there, looking up at the metal pillar that was several feet thick and hundreds of feet tall that appeared in his eyes, silently stunned. On top of this metal pillar, there was an iron rope like a giant python entangled, fiercely
The bandage was squirming slowly.
As for the golden pillar, the object being restrained by the iron rope was a living person wearing a Taoist robe. The other person's arms were spread out, as if embedded in the golden pillar, with only his head hanging down, completely exposed.
Xu Dao looked at it carefully, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in his heart: "No, this is a corpse!"
Although the Taoist man was lifelike, his hair was shiny, and the hair covering his face made him look otherworldly, he was not breathing and his chest was motionless.
What can support Xu Dao's conjecture is the yellow paper scattered on the ground under the golden pillar, as well as bunches of white slings, incense candles, wine, fruit plates and other objects, giving him a feeling like offering sacrifices and visiting a grave.
As for below the golden pillar, there are flowers and plants all over the place, each one is full of spirituality and wisdom, forming a circle. However, nearly a hundred feet away from the golden pillar, there is no grass growing, as if someone is deliberately cultivating and taking care of it.
Xu Dao looked at this scene and guessed in his heart that the spiritual energy and earth power in the nearby soil had been absorbed and gathered under the golden pillar, which made other places barren and this place fertile.
In this situation, although he found nothing on the way here, it was equivalent to a cornucopia, which helped him save the trouble of searching everywhere.
"Blood Pearl Grass, Dragon Beard Rice, Yin Marrow Granulation..." Xu Dao felt hot in his heart as he identified the spiritual objects under the golden pillar.
If he could collect all these spiritual objects, he would have all the supplies he needed for the foundation building stage.
What surprised Xu Dao even more was that among the sacrifices offered to the people of the Golden Pillar, there were actually materials from demons and ghosts. It was just that they fell among the many elixirs and spiritual objects, and their breath was blocked, so he did not take the first place.
Time to discover.
Involuntarily, Xu Dao immediately wanted to step into it to collect elixirs and pick up sacrifices. However, he finally restrained himself and stopped when he was about ten feet away from the elixir pile.
There may be risks in such an attractive and weird place, and it may be like a pitcher plant, luring you there with honey bait.
But faced with too many good things, he refused to let Xu Dao go away. Besides, this place was probably the place where golden elixir spiritual roots were produced, and he didn't know where to go after leaving.
His eyes flickered for a few times, and Xu Dao made a tentative move, using Qigong to grab an object dozens of feet away from him. It was a black mist supported on a stone altar table, with a dull human face.
.
This should be part of the ghost body of a foundation-building ghost. If Xu Dao swallows it and refines it, it will help him replenish his Yin Shen body.
"Whoosh!"
As a result, with just this tentative move, he really easily got the black mist with a human face in his hand. After getting this thing, Xu Dao was pleasantly surprised. He quickly backed away a hundred feet, distanced himself from Jin Zhu, and then immediately sat down cross-legged.
Start refining this thing.
Regardless of whether it is a scam or not, eat it first when you get it.
After receiving this grimace and black mist, Xu Dao sat cross-legged for three or four hours, and finally restored his Yin Shen into a complete human body...
