Xu Dao's eyes fell on the corpse that was extremely suspicious of a Taoist from the Golden Core Realm without blinking. The other three Taoists sitting next to him did the same, all of them looked nervous and full of expectation.
As time goes by, clouds gradually rise around the body of the Taoist corpse covered with hair, and his hair starts to dance, and his clothes are swaying, as if he is about to come to life at any moment.
This was not Xu Dao's illusion, all four of them saw with their own eyes that the corpse's fingers moved.
Plop!
Among the group of people, a Taoist disciple suddenly kowtowed and lay on the altar, bowed three times and bowed nine times to the corpse, and shouted: "I have taken the liberty to kill the demons and worship the Taoist master who subdues demons.
I beg the Taoist master to give me spiritual roots!”
After this person made the move, another person quickly fell down, kowtowed and shouted: "Please give me the Taoist initiation and give me spiritual roots!" This person was the burly Taoist who had given Xu Dao good words before.
Seeing this scene, Xu Dao and another stranger were both a little confused. They looked at the two people in surprise, unsure of what was going on.
Soon, the equally ignorant Taoist imitated the burly Taoist and the others bowed and bowed. Only Xu Tao was left sitting cross-legged.
This made Xu Dao's heart move, and he thought about whether he should follow the example of the other three and kowtow with a more respectful attitude. Anyway, the other party was a dead body tied to a golden pillar. The deceased was the most important, so it was not humiliating to kowtow to the other party.
But when he was about to lean down, Xu Dao's eyelids suddenly twitched and he stared at the corpse intently.
Because just after the clouds around the Taoist corpse rose, not only did the opponent move his fingers, but the skin and flesh on his body also moved, but this movement was caused by thin thread-like things squirming under his skin.
While still there, the silk thread raised its head like a snake from time to time, as if it wanted to pierce the flesh of the Taoist corpse.
What made Xu Dao even more shocked was that with his sharp eyes, in the swing of Dao's corpse robe, he clearly saw that there was nothing underneath the robe, with no flesh and blood left, as if someone had cut it off.
Such a scene instantly made the scene look a little weird and scary.
This made him completely stop thinking about kowtowing, and instead immediately started practicing magic spells, ready to fly away from this place at any time.
But other than that, there were no other changes at the Jindan Taoist Corpse, and there were no untoward situations around the Jinzhu, such as a formation rising up to tie four people into it.
What makes Xu Dao even more hesitant is that the three-year Fairy Garden experience has been held countless times. Although it is dangerous, it has not been heard to be a scam. Taoist priests of all sizes in the Taoist palace have come here like this.
Yes, he also specifically consulted Taoist priests who had participated in the fairy garden experience.
And no matter how strange the Taoist corpse above the golden pillar is, it is still just a corpse. It is not like he has never killed a Taoist priest in the Jindan realm, so how can he be afraid of this corpse in front of him?
Xu Dao calmed down and prepared to see what opportunities would arise.
Of course, having said that, precautions must be taken. Xu Dao looked at the three Taoists next to him who were kowtowing, then quietly walked down from the altar table, stepped on the Ganoderma lucidum, and walked to the edge of the table.
, and then sat down cross-legged.
This can be just in case. If there is a mutation on the field, he can escape in time with only half a step away. At the same time, he is still near the golden pillar. If something good happens later, it will not
It's considered a departure.
Just as Xu Dao sat down, the huge golden pillar suddenly trembled, the iron ropes tied to it rattled, and the Taoist corpse's hair and robes also shook.
Whoosh! The clouds swirled around the golden pillar, became strong, and filled the four directions. In just a blink of an eye, the clouds fell in all directions, as if raindrops were falling, covering the surroundings of the golden pillar.
For a moment, Xu Dao suddenly understood why the ground around the golden pillar was covered with spiritual grass, and there were so many spiritual things growing there.
Because the clouds falling on the ground are not ordinary water mist, but pure spiritual energy. When they fall on the ground, they can nourish Ganoderma lucidum, spiritual flowers, spiritual flesh and blood.
The three Taoists sitting cross-legged on the altar table were overjoyed when they saw this scene.
They immediately started to vomit in big mouths, with a feeling of relief on their faces.
Such pure spiritual energy enters their bellies, and every bite is like a good Qi-nourishing elixir. It is pure and continuous, nourishing yin and yang, and can best replenish their mana and repair injuries.
In just a few breaths, the three Taoists felt that they were full of energy and their condition was adjusted to an excellent level.
But when Xu Dao looked at it, his eyes became strange, "This..."
Such a scene really gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Xu Dao vaguely remembered that when the Taoist conference was held in the White Bone Temple, the Taoist priests of the White Bone Temple also induced the "Emperor's Liquid" to get the Taoist disciples drunk. It was just that there were eight monster Taoist priests sitting there with ill intentions.
All around, there was only one corpse in front of the four of them.
But no matter what, Xu Dao didn't dare to breathe in the spiritual clouds around him. He lowered his gaze and immediately held his breath and concentrated without taking another breath.
As for the three Taoists who were swallowing the spirit cloud, they became more and more happy as they inhaled, shaking their heads. They all felt as if they were about to become immortals, and they were completely unable to notice their surroundings.
Immediately afterwards, in addition to the sound of the golden pillars trembling, there was also a rustling sound.
Such a sound fell into Xu Dao's ears and immediately made his back feel cold. Therefore, the rustling sound came from the body of the Taoist corpse. Strips of flesh sprouts sprouted from his body, and the Taoist robe made a rustling sound when it was rubbed.
.
The granulations grew longer and squirmed out from the top and bottom of the corpse, both arms and hair, spreading around and dancing in the air, making the corpse look extremely weird.
This scene made Xu Dao extremely vigilant. He stretched out his hand to explore behind him to see if there was still a way back. Fortunately, there was only condensed spiritual mist on the ground, and there was no formation to rise to isolate the inside and outside.
.
But this also made Xu Dao feel bad.
First, there was a confusing cloud energy, and then there were flesh worms making strange noises coming out of the body of the Taoist corpse. This situation clearly showed that there was something wrong with the chance here.
Just when he was still thinking about what the flesh worm was, the flesh worm made a loud rustling sound, and one by one suddenly broke away from the corpse, floated in mid-air, and swam towards the surroundings.
Xu Dao's expression changed immediately. He no longer thought about it, turned over, and jumped back out of the area covered by the strange spiritual cloud. He stood up and made a seal, looking at the scene in front of him.
Although the scene was still just weird and there was no real crisis yet, the bugs were flying out. Even if Xu Dao coveted the possible opportunities inside, he had to withdraw first to avoid losing big for small things.
When he exited the area shrouded in clouds and mist, and looked at the strange scenes inside, the pressure in Xu Dao's heart instantly eased a lot, and the feeling of horror brought to him by those densely packed flesh insects also eased a lot.
Xu Dao even felt agitated in his heart, wanting to reach out and catch a flesh worm so that he could study it.
Carefully observing the strange flesh worms from a distance, he suddenly discovered that the flesh worms did not just come out of the corpse, but also came out of other things.
And these things are exactly the sacrifices and demon materials placed on the altar table!
Monster heads and organs also had meat worms drilled out one after another. They were different in size, big or small, but they were all squirming and scurrying around in mid-air.
"Damn it! I didn't expect that the monsters in the fairy garden also have such ghosts in their bodies." Xu Dao looked at it and felt a sense of nausea in his heart.
You must know that in the past seven days, he has refined and devoured a lot of monster flesh and blood, but he did not notice anything strange in it at all.
For a moment, he was secretly glad that thanks to him, he had refined the flesh and blood of the monsters into essence talisman pills, but he only absorbed the essence and blood in them, and he did not eat them alive like before.
Otherwise, no matter how strong the digestion ability of the dragon's body is, the flesh worm can burrow into the body of the Jindan Taoist, and it is inevitable that it may still lurk in the dragon's body.
At the same time, Xu Dao also thought to himself: "I wonder if there is something wrong with those ghosts and monsters?"
He thought about it carefully and found that he could rest assured. Because when he refined the ghost's remnant soul, he didn't devour the other person's memory. He just browsed through it roughly and then broke it into Yin Qi and ghost Qi.
The spiritual energy has been refined.
This process is similar to turning flesh and blood into essence pills. It is equivalent to cooking it before swallowing it. The parasites inside should have been killed or removed.
Xu Dao was so wary of those flesh bugs, but the three Taoists on the offering table were different.
In their eyes, the flesh worms did not look like worms, but strands of golden light, constantly swimming in the air, and emitting bursts of immortal sounds and divine chants.
One of the Taoists shouted: "Spiritual roots! Spiritual roots!" He kept grabbing at the flesh insects wandering around, trying to find the right one.
Another burly Taoist also shouted happily:
"Hahaha! There are indeed spiritual roots that have been refined here. We only need to choose the right one to perform the initiation and plant it directly in the body. This avoids a lot of tedious work and is much more convenient than others."
"Is what your fellow Taoist said true?" The last Taoist heard this and couldn't help asking anxiously.
The burly Taoist returned to:
"Haha! Take it seriously. There is a saying in the Taoist Palace of 'Blood Initiation' in this move, which can make the success rate of foundation building more than half. By coming here, you have already half-stepped into the realm of foundation building!"...
The three of them were discussing enthusiastically, their eyes all focused on the flesh worm, and they did not notice that there was one missing person beside them.
Xu Dao was surprised when he heard the word "spiritual root" in their mouths. He finally couldn't help but stretched out his hand and used magic to catch the flesh insects in the strange spiritual cloud.
Whoosh! He caught a few slender flesh worms.
The fleshy insect was dark red in color, with no head, tail or legs. The large one was as thick as a finger and the small one was as thick as a needle thread. It was still squirming after falling into his hand.
Xu Dao looked carefully and found that after getting out of the strange spiritual cloud, these "spiritual root" flesh insects immediately seemed a little wilted, either trying to get into his palm, or trying to swim back into the spiritual cloud.
"Is this a spiritual root?" In order to prevent these flesh worms from being harmful, Xu Dao simply cut off these flesh worms decisively.
Unexpectedly, after these flesh worms were cut off, they still seemed to be fine, and took this opportunity to escape back into the spiritual cloud.
Xu Dao did not catch them again, because when he cut them off, he had already noticed the clues. After repeatedly catching other meat bugs, he was immediately sure:
"They are really 'spiritual roots'. These flesh worms are made from strands of essence and blood. Their texture is as pure as the blood that I painstakingly refined!"
Xu Dao was surprised. If such strands of monster blood were planted in the Taoist's body and refined, there would indeed be a great chance of becoming the Taoist's bloodline spiritual root.
But here comes the question. If it is really so convenient and Dao Palace has good intentions, why is it so secretive? There must be something wrong with it!
Xu Dao studied the flesh worms called "spiritual roots", while the three Taoists searched hard around the golden pillar for spiritual roots that suited them.
They look down upon the ordinary "spiritual roots" formed by the essence blood of monsters. What catches their eyes are the "spiritual roots" condensed by the essence blood of golden elixirs.
It's just that it was the first time for the three of them to enter the fairy garden to capture spiritual roots, and they couldn't tell which pile was really separated from the golden elixir corpse.
Fortunately, more than a quarter of an hour later, the flesh worms that emerged from Jindan Taoist Corpse were no longer small and dark red, but several scarlet flesh worms emerged.
This scene not only attracted the attention of the three Taoists, but also attracted the attention of Xu Tao.
Soon, one after another scarlet flesh sprouts grew from the body of the Taoist corpse, wandering around the golden pillar at an extremely fast speed, making it difficult to catch with the naked eye.
At this time, Xu Dao instantly knew why there was nothing under the clothes of the Tao corpse. Because the scarlet granulation was different from the dark red granulation, it was not just parasitic in the Tao corpse, but directly transformed from the flesh and blood of the Tao corpse.
made.
When the three Taoists saw the extraordinarily scarlet flesh buds, they all understood instantly and exclaimed in their hearts: "Golden elixir root", "demon spirit root"!
They jumped up one after another and tried their best to capture the scarlet flesh buds.
Although the number of scarlet granules was rare, it was enough for three people to share. Therefore, the three of them did not fight. Instead, they shouted to others from time to time to help intercept them.
Xu Dao squinted at the hurried movements of the three monkeys, and the idea came to his mind that he wanted to step into the strange spiritual cloud again, catch the flesh worm transformed from the flesh and blood of the Taoist corpse, and study it, but he only took half a step, and then
Just held back.
Finally, one of the three Taoists successfully caught a scarlet flesh worm. Without waiting for the man to react, the flesh worm no longer ran, but aimed at his head and slowly descended.
With a snap, the meat worm was inserted into the opponent's Tianling Cap, half of it stirred the opponent's brains inside, and the other half swayed outside, swaying non-stop.
The scene was a bit scary, but the Taoist who got the flesh worm was not like that. Instead, he shouted happily: "Golden Pill Spiritual Root! Thank you Taoist Master for your blessing!"
"Blood Initiation!"
The other two Taoists nearby saw it, and their faces were filled with envy.
Xu Dao, on the other hand, silently retracted half of his stepped foot.
