Taoist masters in the golden elixir realm are different from Taoist priests. Although Xu Dao has the Jade Hook and Squid Sword with him, he is not sure that he can get through under the nose of the Taoist master.
The immortal cultivation level on his body is very likely to be seen by the opponent at the first sight, and even the numerous talismans in his mind may be seen by others.
If it is not necessary, Xu Dao really does not want to contact the Taoist master Jindan too early. But now that he is entrusted by Zhuang Bufan, and there seems to be a big secret here, he has to pay a visit to the Taoist master.
Fortunately, during this trip, Xu Dao first summed up the Qingjing Chapter exercises, and then refined a talisman, imprinted it in his mind, and sealed its spiritual platform.
Suspicious of him too much, it should be enough for him to get away with it.
Even if the golden elixir Taoist master suspects Xu Dao, sees through his immortal cultivation, and has the Qingjing chapter and talisman to guard the spiritual platform, the many talismans in his mind will not be exposed.
In this way, although his dual cultivation of immortality and martial arts has attracted attention, it will not lead to immediate death.
After much thinking and deliberation, Xu Dao felt that he was a little too cautious. After all, he was not an outsider, but a disciple of the Taoist sect who had worshiped the Taoist palace in a serious way.
Miao Hong, I believe that Taoist Master Jin Lin will not criticize him harshly.
With a slightly nervous mind, he flew over dozens or even hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.
The huge Hundred Ship Water Dock appeared in Xu Dao's eyes. The ships were linked together and the iron ropes crossed the sea. It was quite imposing, like a dragon python lying on the sea with its tail attached to its tail.
Xu Dao gently swayed through the layers of formations and landed on the Baichuan Water Dock. Just when he was thinking about how to find someone to report and ask Taoist Master Jinlin for instructions, he was wrapped in the earthworm flags.
The flying sword suddenly started to vibrate.
Zheng!
There was a clear sound, and the blue-purple light suddenly collided from the flying sword. The light was so sharp that it instantly attracted the attention of other Taoist disciples or Taoist priests around.
"Hey, magic weapon!"
"The artifact on this person's back is very aura, it must be a good treasure."
Wisps of eyes fell on Xu Dao, and they all showed surprise and astonishment. They had obviously discovered the extraordinary features of Zhuang Bufan's flying sword, and even more coveted eyes flickered among them.
But after discovering that Xu Dao's cultivation was also at the foundation-building level, those coveting eyes hid one after another, and some Taoist disciples even lowered their heads quickly, for fear of attracting Xu Dao's attention.
Then something even more surprising happened to everyone around him.
A golden light suddenly flew from the center of Baichuan Water Dock. Its light was bright and golden like agate, and it aimed at Xu Dao.
After landing on Xu Dao's head, it floated in mid-air and slowly unfolded. This golden light looked like a scroll, with letters one after another emerging from it.
"Zhi said: The Taoist promised to speak, so come quickly with your sword and weapon."
"Appreciate this."
This kind of momentum was obviously an invitation issued by the Jindan Taoist master in the Taoist Palace, causing other people around him to speculate about Xu Dao's origins and what happened.
Those Taoist priests who had looked at Xu Dao with covetous eyes quickly looked deeper and lowered their heads like Taoist disciples.
In addition, several other people saw the word "Xu Dao" on the golden scroll, and they all thought of something, and their expressions suddenly changed slightly. These people signaled each other with their eyes, and one of them immediately quietly retreated.
I don’t know which direction the message was sent to.
Xu Dao himself did not pay too much attention to the small actions of the people around him. He read the words on the golden light scroll repeatedly, his thoughts were flowing in his heart, but he was no longer nervous, and his mind suddenly relaxed.
He had already made all the plans he needed to make in advance, and he had made all the mental preparations he needed to make. Now that the Taoist master in the palace was inviting him, there was no way he could escape.
So Xu Dao took a deep breath, unfolded his sleeves, bowed to the golden scroll and replied: "I will obey the Taoist Master's decree!"
Buzz!
Hearing Xu Dao's call, the golden light scroll shook slightly, and a few words on it splashed out, dripping down to Xu Dao's side, surrounding it and turning into scales and petals.
Before Xu Dao could prepare, he immediately felt his eyes blur, and his body had already left the ship's deck, turning into a golden light and heading towards the center of the Baichuan Water Dock.
Whoosh whoosh!
A few moments later, Xu Dao's body stopped and he came to a body of water.
He looked around a few times. Although there was nothing in his eyes, his spiritual consciousness told him that murderous intent was everywhere around him, and there were many Taoist priests with powerful auras sitting around.
Without thinking too much, he should have arrived directly above the exit of the Fairy Garden.
Just when Xu Dao thought he was about to dive into the sea water, the sea surface under his feet was suddenly cut open, revealing a hole and a gray scene inside.
Xu Dao instantly felt weightless and fell hard.
When he came back to his senses, his feet were firmly on the stone bricks, and what appeared in his field of vision was a scene of pavilions and pavilions, with rockeries, corridors, gold-painted walls, and glazed roofs...
It's just that these pavilions and pavilions vaguely reveal a sense of loneliness and decadence.
This feeling made Xu Dao somewhat familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that this was not the feeling that the central area of the Fairy Garden gave people.
Sure enough, when he stared at the pavilions and pavilions, he found that except for those nearby, the rest were dilapidated and filled with mist. But what made him even more convinced was the overwhelming aura around him, which made him take a breath every time.
One sip is as refreshing as drinking nectar.
Immediately, an old voice sounded behind Xu Dao: "The humble house is so simple, it makes fellow Taoists laugh."
The voice was plain and there was nothing out of the ordinary about it, just like an ordinary old mortal. But when Xu Dao heard it, he did not dare to relax at all.
He did not dare to scan the other person abruptly with his spiritual consciousness, but quickly turned around, glanced with his peripheral vision, and recognized the identity of the speaker behind him at a glance.
Xu Dao returned seriously: "If you are a latecomer in learning, see Taoist Master Jinlin!"
An old Taoist priest wearing a gold-leaf patterned Taoist robe appeared in his eyes. His hair was white and he was obviously very old, but his skin was crystal clear and his eyes were light golden. He made people forget about the secular world at the first sight.
The three Jindan Taoist masters were respected in the Taoist palace, and their portraits were circulated. Although the portraits on paper were not enough to depict the true demeanor, they were enough for Xu Dao to identify each other.
This person is none other than Taoist Master Jinlin from the Taoist Palace.
Although the Taoist master who looked like an old Taoist had a rather majestic face, his words were indeed very gentle. He looked at him with a smile in his eyes. Although he did not use his spiritual sense to look at him, Xu Dao instantly felt that all the clues in his body were revealed by him.
Saw it through.
A look of satisfaction appeared in the eyes of Taoist Master Jin Lin, who spoke warmly like an elder: "Xu Taoist, I have heard of you."
"It is rumored that you are a remnant of the imperial edict. When I saw you today, it turned out that you are indeed very qualified. The blood concentration in your body must be at the level of a high-grade spiritual root, and you will be able to obtain the golden elixir in the future."
When Xu Dao heard these words, he felt a rush of thoughts in his heart, and quickly replied: "Taoist master, you have given me such a compliment. A mere man in the mountains cannot afford such praise."
Taoist Master Jin Lin listened and just shook his head with a smile and commented: "Don't belittle yourself."
Xu Dao cupped his hands: "Yes."
After a simple exchange of greetings and courtesy, and Xu Dao's respectful treatment, the Taoist master had a pretty good impression of him, so Xu Dao boldly raised his head slightly and looked around him.
A short pavilion appeared in his eyes. There was a huge multi-colored alchemy furnace placed in the courtyard. The flames in the furnace were boiling, and traces of white air flowed around the lid and holes of the alchemy furnace, lingering for a long time.
It seemed that Taoist Master Jinlin was probably refining elixirs and medicines when he took the time to call him over and summon one or two.
Xu Dao didn't need to think about how to speak out what happened to Zhuang Bufan. Taoist Master Jin Lin waved his hand gently, and the flying sword that Xu Dao carried behind his back broke free from the entanglement of the earthworm flag and flew into the opponent's hand.
A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of Taoist Master Jin Lin. He looked at Zhuang Bufan's flying sword and whispered: "It is really a sword made of steel. My friend Bufan has succeeded."
After saying this, Xu Dao suddenly saw a hint of joy and solemnity in the other party's eyes. Although this look only flashed by, it showed that the other party seemed to understand something after seeing the sword.
Immediately, Taoist Master Jin Lin closed his eyes slightly. He stretched out two fingers and flicked the sword lightly. Immediately, a trace of blue-purple light flew out. Taoist Master Jin Lin pinched it with two fingers and melted it.
This should be the message Zhuang Bufan left for Taoist Jin Lin on the flying sword.
Xu Dao looked at the scene in front of him and just stood by respectfully. The other party did not ask him, and he was not prepared to answer out loud.
After a few blinks, a look of sadness appeared on Taoist Master Jin Lin's face. He stroked the sword in his hand and whispered:
"It is said that when little friend Zhuang Bufan was building the foundation, Pindao specially refined this sword for him. I thought that the sword flew into the water dock with a strong aura of evil and it was Zhuang Bufan who succeeded.
The Gang Qi has been refined."
"What I didn't expect was that my little friend was flying with this sword. He was unlucky. He managed to master the flying sword, but his body was damaged again."
A thick sigh came out of Taoist Master Jin Lin's mouth, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
Hearing these words, Xu Dao felt that the other party was at least quite humane on the surface, so he sighed in a low voice: "My condolences, Master Taoist."
After saying these words, Xu Dao suddenly noticed that the other party was looking at him strangely. Taoist Master Jin Lin said playfully:
"My little friend, why do poor people need to express their condolences?"
"This," Xu Dao raised his eyebrows slightly, wondering whether he should continue speaking.
"Hahaha!" A burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the short pavilion, it was the Taoist Master Jinlin.
The other party immediately put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Do you think this guy Zhuang Bufan died so easily?"
"No, no, if it was really that simple to die, I wouldn't have tried so hard to get my little friend to give me the sword."
Xu Dao suddenly raised his eyes slightly, with surprise and surprise in his eyes. He looked at the other party with doubtful eyes and a lot of expectation.
Zhuang Bufan had a very close relationship with him. If the other party was really not dead, this would be good news for Xu Dao.
However, Taoist Master Jin Lin did not answer directly, but looked at him with a smile and said, "Zhuang Bufan's qualifications for immortality are not high, but his qualifications for martial arts are good. Do you know why he did not choose to practice martial arts, but chose the sword as a compromise?"
An immortal?"
Xu Dao quickly handed over his hand: "Do you still want to ask the Taoist master for advice?"
jingle!
Taoist Master Jin Lin flicked his fingers to vibrate the flying sword again, and said with a smile: "Without him, this beast is afraid of death."
"Hey, sword cultivator, although it is said that the sword is there and the person is there, and the sword dies, the person dies, but it does not say that the sword must be destroyed when the person dies."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist master held Zhuang Bufan's flying sword and threw it towards the alchemy furnace next to him as if he was disgusted.
There was just a bang, and the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened from the air, and the flying sword was just thrown in, trembling and spinning inside.
Immediately afterwards, the Taoist Master Jin Lin closed the lid of the alchemy furnace and said to Xu Dao: "You two are good friends and also life and death friends. Please watch the lighting time for him."
"After he wakes up, don't open the lid in a hurry, and don't open it too late. Open it every seven, seven, forty-nine breaths, and then you can let him out again."
"There must be no less time, and his soul must not be refined. If it is refined, this guy will really die."
After giving a detailed explanation, Taoist Master Jin Lin suddenly stood up and shook his golden sleeves. He walked around the pavilion for a few times, as if he was suppressing some emotions and wanted to chant.
He made a sound, but he suppressed it anyway and just said:
"Since a guest is coming to our door, I should go and meet that person for a while. Go ahead!"
After saying these words, the other party stepped out suddenly, and his body suddenly turned into a golden light, which flickered and made people's vision white.
When Xu Dao came back to his senses, Taoist Master Jin Lin had disappeared from his eyes and he did not know where to leave. However, Xu Dao was not too surprised by this. He calmed down and thought about it carefully.
What the Taoist said just now made me feel something in my heart, and I felt that something big was about to happen.
"Are there going to be waves..."
After some thinking, Xu Dao also understood Zhuang Bufan's current situation. His eyes moved and were placed on the five-color pill furnace in the pavilion.
According to Taoist Master Jin Lin, Zhuang Bufan should have a secret method to save his life. Although he is a sword cultivator, he can survive like a person in the immortal way by throwing his soul into the flying sword after his body dies.
It seems that on the way Xu Dao escaped, Zhuang Bufan had successfully thrown his soul into the flying sword and survived. Otherwise, Taoist Master Jin Lin would not have said such words just now.
However, this secret method does not seem to be very useful. Putting aside the shortcomings, after Zhuang Bufan's soul was thrown into the flying sword, he actually had to ask the Jindan Taoist to use some methods to revive him. This is not something ordinary people can do.
Exploited.
Xu Dao thought carefully. He followed Taoist Master Jin Lin's instructions and sat peacefully in front of the alchemy furnace. He did not take a nap or even meditate, but just watched the fire.
After waiting for about eight or nine hours, the Taoist master never returned.
The inside of the alchemy furnace finally trembled slightly, and a strange cry came from: "What a flock of birds! A pair of tricks by a poor man...it hurts someone."
