Chapter 347 Cutting down mountains and destroying temples
Time flies by.
In his own water mansion, Xu Daomao continued to improve his cultivation through various harvests, and also raised teeth, generals and scales for future use.
Even though the turmoil in the outside world became more and more intense, he still kept his thoughts to himself.
In the past four or five years, he has digested all the gains from his outings, and accepted the salary from the Dao Palace and the support from Youjian Fu Shop. His total amount of Qi has increased by as much as thirty or forty years, and all of it is still there.
The physical aspect of ascension.
As a result, Xu Dao's physical cultivation has reached the level of nearly a hundred years, and is on the verge of condensation evil!
The reason why there has been such great progress is mainly because the Locking Essence Chapter is a physical technique, which allows Xu Dao to absorb the blood from the tooth generals and scale soldiers to improve their physical cultivation.
It's a pity that the Locking Essence Chapter can only affect the cultivation of the physical body, but cannot affect the immortal way.
Xu Dao thought about this again and again, and in order to bring his own cultivation to the edge of Ningsha as soon as possible, he simply spent the past few years polishing his physical body and increasing his physical Taoism, and temporarily put aside his efforts in the immortal way.
The effect is also gratifying. Now his total amount of Qi has reached more than 160 years. With the superimposition of Immortal Martial Arts, his Taoism is only about 20 years lower than that of a Taoist priest who has perfected Ningsha.
Coupled with the three Foundation-Building Tooth Generals and nearly 10,000 scale soldiers he has trained, he should be able to fight with the Taoist priests who have perfected the Ningsha in the Taoist Palace.
As for the casual monks outside the Taoist palace, they are likely to be suppressed and beaten by him.
Not to mention that Xu Dao also has the Cuttlefish Sword Magical Artifact and a Golden Elixir Talisman as the treasure at the bottom of the box. Even if Zhuang Bufan, who is refining the Gang, fights with him, he will probably not get any benefits, and he may accidentally do it.
Will be killed by him.
This day.
Xu Dao sat cross-legged in the cave, quietly imagining the picture of the Nine Netherworld Dragons, constantly inhaling the rich spiritual energy in the cave to transform it into true energy.
As he swallowed, each piece of talisman money also cracked into pieces and looked like rust.
When all the talismans around him were consumed and turned into metal powder, Xu Dao finally slowly opened his eyes, but the divine light flowing in his eyes like a dragon had not yet dissipated.
A sigh sounded: "The days of ease are over."
After briefly recalling the practice just now, Xu Dao suddenly stood up. He looked at the quiet and exquisite scene in the cave, waved his hand, took out a Taoist robe for going out, and put it on himself.
Such a move means that Xu Dao is about to leave seclusion.
For five years, Xu Dao Ansheng has been practicing in seclusion, but the Taoist priests outside have already beaten the dog's brains out. At the same time, the three golden elixir Taoist masters in the Erhai Taoist Palace finally couldn't help but prepare for the end.
Start dealing with it.
Now there is a decree from the Jindan Taoist master, ordering all Taoist priests to return to the mountain gate and obey the instructions.
Fortunately, five years have passed since the decree was issued. Xu Dao has already made various preparations for this situation, so it is not surprising. Especially since his cultivation has increased a lot and he is already a foundation-building Taoist priest for many years.
More confident.
It just so happened that during these five years, all of Xu Dao's savings were consumed, and he had to go out to look for food. Otherwise, relying only on his salary and the dwindling income from the Talisman Shop, his cultivation level would be as low as
It can only continue to grow at a "turtle speed".
In addition, the most important point is that Xu Dao can take advantage of this opportunity to make some preparations for his own evil spirit, so as to determine the evil spirit as soon as possible and enter the middle stage of foundation building.
Thinking of this, he frowned slightly and sighed in his heart.
Although in the silkworm room of the Tao Palace, the Nine Netherworld and the True Dragon Visualization are combined into one, which can not only improve his physical Taoism, but also improve his immortal cultivation, but the two do not work at the same time.
When Xu Dao was visualizing this picture, he could only practice martial arts or immortality, but he couldn't do both. As a result, if he wanted to condense evil spirits, he would probably have to use two kinds of evil spirits respectively.
A high-quality evil spirit is already rare, and it often takes Taoists several years, or even decades, to find it. It is even more troublesome to collect two high-quality evil spirits.
Xu Dao estimated the process of planting his spiritual roots and realized that his Ningsha would probably be as troublesome as when he was building the foundation and planting his spiritual roots.
"It would be great if both martial arts and immortality could use a kind of evil spirit and mix them together."
For him, this is not impossible, but due to the level of the Qingjing chapter, it is currently impossible.
After a little reverie, Xu Dao put this thought aside for the time being, and instead thought to himself secretly:
"I have to find a way to earn more credit this time when I leave seclusion. If I have enough credit, I can do like Zhuang Bufan and ask the Taoist master to deduce the location of the evil spirit for me. This will save at least half of the trouble."
In fact, if he had more merit, he could exchange it for the evil spirit in the Dao Palace treasure house, so that he would not have to search for evil energy. However, Xu Dao had already communicated with Zhuang Bufan and had no intention of considering this option at all.
.
At present, there is a shortage of Gangsha in the Dao Palace and the quality is low. He does not want to ruin his future of immortality by condensing evil because of laziness.
Similar to the spiritual roots planted in the Ligen realm, the evil spirits collected in the Ningsha realm and the Gang qi refined in the Gang realm are all related to the quality of the great elixir formed during the foundation-building breakthrough golden elixir.
It should be noted that there is no regret in achieving elixirs. Only the great elixirs of the upper third level have the possibility of becoming immortals and ancestors; the true elixirs of the middle third level can barely break through to the realm of Yuanying, but the success rate is low; the fake elixirs of the lower third level are
You will be trapped in the knot for the rest of your life, unable to break through and be reborn.
And Xu Dao's goal is not just to form a pill, but to earn himself a chance to attain Taoism and live forever!
Spiritual roots, evil spirits, and Gang Qi are the three materials for elixir formation. He must keep improving, so that he can steadily form the third-grade elixir, or even the first-grade elixir, the golden elixir.
Rumor has it that only those with the first-grade golden elixir have the possibility of attaining the golden nature of immortality. The rest are all inferior.
Thinking of the pill formation, Xu Dao suddenly became excited. He immediately shook his sleeves and robe, put away other things, and walked out of the cave.
There was a wave of water, and Xu Dao appeared above Erhai Lake for a long time. After looking for his direction, he immediately ran towards the direction of Erhai Lake.
Not long after.
A series of majestic and tall buildings appeared in his eyes, which was where the gate of the Taoist Palace was located - Baichuan Water Dock.
It was a little different from the situation Xu Dao had seen a few years ago. The water dock formation was now open, and a few miles away, Xu Dao noticed a sharp aura rising from the Baichuan Water Dock.
Various formations cover the high-rise ships, and they communicate with each other through chains, making hundreds of high-rise ships combine into a huge formation, like a huge giant turtle lying on the Erhai Sea.
Xu Dao looked at this scene in a daze, frowning secretly and thinking: "It seems that the situation has really deteriorated to a certain extent, otherwise the Dao Palace would not have raised all the water dock formations."
With such a battle, he almost thought someone was attacking the mountain gate of Erhai Dao Palace.
With a slightly heavy heart, Xu Dao dispersed his consciousness and cautiously approached the nearest entrance.
When we got close to the Baichuan Water Dock, there was a shout immediately: "Master Taoist, tell me your name quickly, otherwise I will not kill you!"
This shout sounded alert, but listening to the sound transmission spell mixed in his voice, one could tell that his cultivation level should only be that of a Qi Refining Taoist disciple.
But Xu Dao didn't take it too seriously. He immediately showed his majestic physical energy and blood, and the sound of thunder and fire flashed faintly around his body, and said: "I am a poor Taoist, Xu Dao. I will obey the Taoist order and return to Shuiwu today to wait for orders."
While speaking, he also took out his identity card and shook it. A wisp of spiritual light immediately emerged from the identity card and shot towards the formation of Baichuan Water Dock, passing the verification.
When the person who asked questions saw the majestic energy and blood released by Xu Dao, his heart skipped a beat. After Xu Dao showed his identity card again, he immediately rolled down from the building boat, controlled a magic weapon, and stood in the formation.
Welcome Xu Dao on the border.
The man quickly explained: "Junior has offended the Taoist priest. Taoist priest, please come into the formation!"
Xu Dao didn't make it difficult for the other party. He nodded, walked through the air, and landed on the ship. He also communicated with the other party, trying to understand what happened in the Tao Palace recently.
It turned out that just over a month ago, some monks ganged up and set fire to the boat. Fortunately, the nearby Taoist priests discovered it in time and prevented them from succeeding.
But even so, there were still several large-scale boats that were burned down to half and a lot of property was damaged. Fortunately, the hulls of the boats were not damaged.
The occurrence of such things also made the people in the Taoist Palace extremely angry. The entire Baichuan Water Dock was immediately sealed off, and anyone who had liaison with the outside world was closely investigated in an attempt to destroy the Taoist Palace.
Otherwise, without the cooperation of insiders, it would be impossible for someone to set fire to the mountain gate of the Taoist palace. Moreover, the few monks who set the fire took advantage of the chaos to escape and successfully escaped from Baichuan Water Dock.
This is the first time in thousands of years.
In the past, even if the outsiders were dissatisfied with the Erhai Dao Palace, they would not be so bold as to set fire to it. At most, they would besiege the four-sided ghost market in Wudu City, seize their belongings and run away, just like ordinary people.
Like bandits.
But now, the casual monks dare to stroke the tiger's beard without fear of the consequences.
According to the Taoist disciple who was guarding the formation, there were rumors in the palace that the reason why the Jindan Taoist met his end was because his aloof status in the Taoist palace was not taken seriously and he lost face.
The face of the Taoist Palace is the face of the three Jindan Taoist masters, so the three Taoist masters summoned all the Taoists in the Taoist Palace and prepared to kill all the disobedient Taoist monks in order to completely put down the chaos in Wu Guozhong.
After learning about this, Xu Dao also thought to himself: "No wonder I haven't contacted Su Jiu and the others for more than a month. It turns out that the entire water dock has been sealed off."
In the past, You Yajiang Linbing served as a messenger and porter, and he had a close relationship with Youjian Fu Shop. But just over a month ago, Yajiang Linbing could no longer get news from the Hundred Ships Water Dock.
Xu Dao almost thought that something bad had happened.
Fortunately, Ya Jianglin told him that the Baichuan Water Dock was still in place. It was not moved or attacked. It was just a formation that was raised to isolate the inside and outside. This was Xu Dao's closest approach to the Hundred Ship Water Dock.
The reason is not well understood.
As for the reason why he knew that the Jindan Taoist master was summoning disciples, it was because first the big bell of the Taoist palace rang to summon disciples, and then there was a scroll condensed with golden light all over the sky, running horizontally over the Erhai Lake, like a ray of light.
Let the tooth general and the scale soldiers discover it.
Without further chatting with the Taoist disciple guarding the formation, Xu Dao immediately walked to the Youjian Talisman Shop.
When he arrived at the Talisman Store, he found that the business of the Talisman Store was much bleaker than what he said when he last contacted him, but that didn't mean that the customers had stopped coming.
In fact, due to the tense current situation, the prices of items in shops related to martial arts and cultivation, such as Fu Shop and Alchemy Shop, are rising day by day, and business is booming.
However, whether it is drawing talismans or refining elixirs, they all require a variety of spiritual materials, which must be processed to become products.
Over the past five years, the inventory of spiritual materials in the Baichuan Water Dock has long been exhausted by various shops and workshops, and the subsequent replenishment of fresh spiritual materials has been pitifully slow. Only a few shops with deep pockets are still operating as usual, and some of them are still operating as usual.
Either buy it at a high price, or simply organize your own people to collect the raw materials.
However, Xu Dao's small shop made small profits but quick turnover, and was neither rich nor generous, and he had his instructions. After using up all the stored spiritual materials and making high-priced purchases without making much money, he stopped most of the business and is currently only keeping the door open.
That’s all.
As soon as Xu Dao walked to the talisman shop, the shop assistant, who was already bored and sharp-eyed, recognized him at a glance and shouted: "Master, the master is back!"
Whoosh!
As soon as the waiter shouted, a white shadow flashed out and jumped in front of Xu Dao. The figure was Su Jiu with a strong and vigorous figure. Following him were the swordsman and Chen Wan.
"Teacher!!", "Master!"
The three of them looked at Xu Dao, their eyes a little dazed. Especially the little fox girl Su Jiu. They had not met Xu Dao for four or five years in a row, and now they finally saw them again. Even though they were all cultivators, they were still a little excited.
.
But Xu Dao is normal. He has already reached the foundation-building realm and has a lifespan of three hundred. Four or five years is not a short time for him, but it is not that long either.
And the more you practice Taoism, the more time a Taoist will spend in retreat, and many Taoists will have to get used to it.
If he really couldn't get used to it, he could only choose to bring the little fox girl into the cave together during the next retreat. As for not retreating, that was impossible.
Xu Dao smiled and saluted his subordinates: "I've met you all."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, before Xu Dao could take Su Jiu and return to the room to be warm, a golden light jumped in from outside the store.
It looked like a scroll, and it fell in front of Xu Dao and unfolded it immediately:
"Imperial order: All Taoist people should go to the Dharma Hall to listen to the lectures and discuss together how to conquer demons and demons, cut down mountains and destroy temples."
"Come quickly. Check this out!"
When Xu Dao saw this decree, he raised his eyebrows slightly and chewed in his mouth: "Cutting down mountains and destroying temples..."
