After Xu Dao went into seclusion, Master Le from Qianlong Pavilion saw that he had not come out for several days and had not responded to his transmission notes, so he specially sent someone to check on him.
When he learned that Xu Dao had devoted himself to seclusion and practice on the first day he took over the cave, Lelao immediately understood that Xu Dao was preparing to become a Ningsha.
The thought flashed through his mind unconsciously: "If this person accidentally fails to condense evil..." But immediately, Mr. Le laughed and dismissed this idea. Even if he didn't believe in his own vision, he still had to believe in his own pavilion.
The eyes of the Lord.
So Mr. Le wrote a piece of paper and sent it to the seventh floor of Qianlong Pavilion, asking the servants around the cave where Xu Dao was to pay attention. If Xu Dao came out of seclusion, he would be informed immediately.
And in the cave where Xu Dao is located.
Although Xu Dao immediately entered a state of seclusion, he did not directly start polishing his true energy and absorbing the evil spirit from the water of Huangquan.
Instead, he first adjusted the spirit gathering array in the entire cave to the maximum, tried his best to absorb the spiritual energy transmitted from the huge sea market array, and then used the remaining talisman money in the bag to place it in the retreat room of the cave.
After leaving the formation within the formation, call upon the spiritual energy in the inner heaven and earth in order to increase the concentration of spiritual energy in the quiet room as much as possible.
There was no way. After coming to this first-class cave in person, Xu Dao discovered that the amount of spiritual energy that the cave could absorb every day was limited, and its richness was far inferior to the superior retreat rooms in the Erhai Taoist Palace, let alone the Fairy Garden.
Got it.
This kind of cave abode is already rare in the Western Sea.
But compared with the spiritual energy squeezed out by using blood money, the spiritual energy produced in the cave is actually the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, without a magazine, which makes Xu Dao doubt whether he should overturn his previous idea: "Maybe this hundred-mile floating chasm, seriously
There are spiritual veins present.”
A full ninety-nine and eighty-one days had passed before the concentration of spiritual energy in the quiet room had increased to a level he was satisfied with, and there was enough redundancy in quantity to suit his use in the process of condensing evil.
During these eighty-one days, Baili Fucha has set off again, sailing away from the sea area where the Shark Island is located, traveling across the West Sea, and heading for the next trading point through the waves.
The cave where Xu Dao was located had always been quiet, and no one came to disturb him at all.
Xu Dao was not surprised by this. After entering the realm of foundation building, a Taoist's lifespan is two to three hundred years. Even if it is just an ordinary retreat, it will often last two or three years, let alone his key actions to break through the realm.
.
Even if he stays in seclusion for five years, Qianlong Pavilion will not urge him to complete any tasks. As long as the formation in the cave is still functioning, no one will come to break in privately.
During the eighty-one days that Xu Dao stayed at home, he did not meditate boringly all day long. Instead, he cultivated his moral character, read books, looked at paintings, and studied the newly obtained formation notes in his hand.
The Taoist's retreat is not just about sitting on the ground, like a wooden figure. It mainly refers to isolating the inside and outside, and dedicating the body and mind to practice as much as possible. It does not prohibit relaxation and rest.
Moreover, even if someone wants to absorb spiritual energy day and night and polish the true energy, regardless of whether the spiritual energy is sufficient, their meridians and soul will be unable to bear it, and they must combine work and rest.
During these days, due to lack of sufficient spiritual materials, Xu Dao did not start practicing the 108 formations of the Xuanzhen Sect, but after thinking about it, he had a sufficient understanding of the Xuanzhen Sect's orthodoxy, and its formations
Compared with before, the level has already reached a higher level.
He even almost immersed himself in the seven volumes of formation notes without realizing that the aura of the cave was already abundant.
In the quiet room, Xu Dao sat cross-legged on the futon, picked up the seven leather books placed beside him one by one, stroked the corners of the leather paper, sighed softly, and stored them in the inner world.
"This Xuanzhen Sect is worthy of being a golden elixir sect. In addition to the final ninth-grade elixir formation, the early formations are of great help to the Taoist's practice, condensation and refining. In terms of killing, it is even more important.
It is involved."
His eyes flickered. He was very sure about this Ningsha. It didn't matter whether he had the help of the formation or not. What really mattered to him was the method of killing in the notes.
Since practicing so far, although he has condensed the various spells he once had into the thunder and fire method, and his every move is powerful and powerful, he still mainly relies on physical brute force to fight against people.
Or to be precise, its thunder and fire spells are far less powerful than using the physical body.
In Xu Dao's original plan, he practiced martial arts and tempered his body, which was only used as a trump card, and he wanted to show himself as an immortal monk to the outside world.
The intention is that people will not be able to catch his shortcomings and harm his body, but will be able to exploit his tricks and take advantage of the situation to kill him.
But Xu Dao now relies mainly on his body to kill his enemies, which deviates from his original intention, makes it inconvenient for him to hide his clumsiness, and also misses his trump card.
Moreover, the Taoist priests in the West Sea all have unique methods, and there are also powerful figures such as the Master of the Shark Island and the Master of the Qianlong Pavilion. If he only relies on his body and magical weapons, he may not be able to maintain his advantage if he continues. He must make plans early and use his spells.
It's about improving.
"The physical body, the magical weapon, and the magic must be all in place!"
He secretly thought in his heart: "The left path is rampant in the Western Sea. The Taoist priests do not practice magic and rely more on external objects... Magic is my advantage!"
Xu Dao's previous plan was to continue to dig deeper into thunder and fire spells, and to derive other types of thunder from the "Red Sky Thunder", and to increase the power of the spell step by step, becoming one of the trump cards.
But now that he has obtained the orthodoxy of Xuanzhen Sect, it has given him another way of thinking, a comprehensive way of thinking.
In the Talisman Array family, the so-called array is evolved on the basis of various runes. The former is similar to words, and the latter is similar to articles. A formation must require a variety of runes with different uses, which are combined according to the principles of heaven and earth.
Only then can it operate on its own.
The one hundred and eight formation patterns taught by the Xuanzhen Sect are based on this idea. If you can easily create several formation patterns, you can use the formation patterns to lay out a formation in a short period of time. During the battle, on the spot,
Exhibited.
Xu Dao spent eighty-one days in retreat, and this is the idea he gained.
He does not necessarily have to delve into the art of thunder and fire, but can combine the spells he has learned in an orderly manner to form large-scale spells like formations!
In fact, he had thought about this move when he was integrating the past spells, but he just had an idea at that time, so he put it down and instead used the Yin and Yang thunder method and the fire method to smelt the "Red Sky Thunder".
But it's different now. He has got a golden elixir inheritance in his hand, which contains 108 formations and 360 spells, including thousands of combinations of yin and yang, the change of the four seasons, the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, the operation of the Eight Diagrams, etc.
Various ideas, until a large formation can be arranged that can assist the formation of the elixir!
Not only did Xu Dao get a lot of inspiration from it, he could try out the combinations in his notes one by one, he could also directly refine the hundred and one formation patterns and integrate them into his spells.
In addition, many people have had the opportunity to realize that in addition to using the spells they have learned, they can also incorporate other aspects into it.
First of all, the simplest and most convenient thing is evil spirit! Use the true energy containing evil spirit to cast a spell. As long as the two do not conflict with each other, the power of the spell will inevitably be greatly improved.
Secondly, there are his innate spells, mirage, teeth, generals and scale soldiers; and thirdly, his dragon body, and the magic weapon in his hand...
The thoughts in his mind were beating, and Xu Dao suddenly thought: "In this way, my technique will not only be a spell, but also a formation! Even if it cannot be successful for a while, at least it is developing towards the formation."
After combing through it carefully, he found that this move has great potential. Once it succeeds, its strength will inevitably double, and the magic will no longer be useless, but a great way to protect the Tao!
And during these days, Xu Dao also had a specific idea, pondering in his mind: "Thunder fire, mirage, evil water, strong wind, dragon body... they have been tempered and mixed into one."
His eyes were extremely clear.
Thought for a long time.
Xu Dao suddenly let out a breath and put away all his thoughts.
He closed his eyes slightly to calm his beating heart, and silently thought in his heart: "The most urgent task is to condense the evil spirit of Huangquan first, and then plan other things."
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had become calm and solemn.
Xu Dao looked around the quiet and elegant room, turned his hand over, and an earthen jar appeared in his hand. Like a drunkard, he slapped the neck of the jar hard, shattering the sealing mud.
Blocks of dry mud cracked and fell, and the rune-like cinnabar characters within them also faded and lost their effectiveness in an instant.
After cleaning the mouth of the bottle, Xu Dao paused, turned his hand over again, grabbed the mouth of the bottle with one hand, and raised it.
He raised his head, moved it to the mouth of the jar, and poured it into his abdomen.
If there were other Taoist priests here who saw his behavior, they would definitely be horrified or astonished, because no one could condense the evil spirit of Huangquan like him and drink the water of Huangquan like wine.
Normal methods of condensing evil spirits usually involve refining evil water, evil soil, evil bones, etc., and extracting pure evil spirits from them, and then incorporating the evil spirits into the Yin spirit or the body one by one, and burning the Yin one by one.
God, the impurities in the body, shed yin and transform into yang until the success is achieved. The method Xu Dao used to condense the evil spirit of the real dragon last time was roughly the same.
The Huangquan he is using now has evil qi that is cold and yin, and its water is extremely yin and extremely poisonous, so it is called "Wangyou Water".
An ordinary drop of Huangquan water is enough to make a mortal lose his memory, turn his mind blank, and turn him into a stupid child. Not to mention that the poison in his hand, which has been roughly refined by the real Yuanying, is even higher.
Even if Master Nascent Soul is washed away by a sufficient amount of underworld water, the memory in his brain will be completely washed away and cannot be restored.
It is said that in ancient times, many ghosts and immortals had confused memories due to the mystery in their wombs. They would go into the Nine Netherworlds to take water from the underworld, brew it into wine or process it into elixirs, so as to relieve their worries and forget their worries.
If Xu Dao had possessed this underworld evil water before he concocted Yin Jianjian, he wouldn't have had to take out the other party's soul himself. He could just wash it away with the underworld evil water, and he could even receive it safely by his side afterwards.
To be used as a maid.
It's a pity that if he didn't do it himself and auction it off, he wouldn't get the 900,000 talisman money, let alone the evil water from the underworld.
Gurgling!
The cold evil water poured into Xu Dao's abdomen, causing his throat to become cold instantly and he lost most of his consciousness. His abdomen seemed to have turned into a piece of solid ice and was constantly expanding.
But he didn't stop, and took a few more sips of the water from the underworld. Then he put the pot aside and sealed it with the talisman he had prepared in advance to prevent the evil spirit inside from escaping and corroding in all directions.
"The best way to extract evil spirits is to use an alchemy furnace, otherwise too much will escape. And for me, the best alchemy furnace is my body."
Xu Dao's physical body has been tempered by the evil spirit of the real dragon, and his internal organs are strong, so he is not too afraid of the erosion of the evil spirit of the underworld. In addition, his magic power has also been mixed with the evil spirit of the real dragon early in the morning, which can restrain the external evil energy without causing harm.
It uses the flesh body as a cauldron, and the Yin God lives in the body. There is no need to escape, so it can calmly pick up evil spirits and temper the Yin God.
And whenever his Yin Shen is damaged, his physical body's Qi and blood rush forward, and his energy and brain are replenished, and his Yin Shen recovers immediately without any possibility of suffering.
Having a superior dragon body as protection is why Xu Dao believes that he is sure of condensing the underworld!
………………
In the quiet room of the cave, time passed bit by bit.
Xu Dao opened the clay pot every other day and drank several mouthfuls of water from the Yellow Spring.
Under the water of the underworld, his flesh and blood were drained away and his face turned pale, but the Yin spirit in his mind became more and more powerful, and his light was pure white.
After drinking the water from the Yellow Spring for seventy-seven forty-nine times, gold crystals flew from the back of Xu Dao's head, his soul was shaken, and there was a rattling sound in his ears and eyes.
He sat upright in the quiet room, breathing in and out through his nose. Two streams of light yellow air were like dragons, hovering in front of his mouth and nose.
With just one breath, the yellow air can surround the entire quiet room dozens of times, causing fabrics to break, tables and chairs to crack, and masonry to rot wherever it passes.
By repeatedly inhaling and exhaling like this, the remaining spiritual energy in the quiet room, mixed with the remaining evil spirits in the clay pot, were inhaled into his lungs, swallowed into his throat, lowered into his five internal organs, and entered his Dantian, where he mixed with his magic power and was quickly refined.
Zheng!
I don't know how long it took, but when Xu Dao opened his eyes again, his eyes were extremely bright, and his expression was exciting and joyful.
He lowered his head slightly and raised his hand, and the true energy in his body was generated. It gathered into a ball in the palm of his hand, forming a small light yellow dragon-shaped aura, with a head and a tail.
"The Huangquan dragon's true energy is finally here!"
At this time, Xu Dao has already accomplished the task of condensing evil spirits into the underworld, and Yin Shen has also entered the realm of condensing evil spirits. If the upper limit of his magic power breaks through again, the stack of immortal and martial arts can reach 360 years.
After his physical body and Yin Shen both condensed, the vision of the underworld dragon in his mind became more vivid, and the inner world also became more solid.
Sitting in the dilapidated quiet room, Xu Dao's face was pale, but his smile was cheerful and he looked quite happy.
He waved his hand gently, letting the dragon transformed into true energy disperse into his body, and his eyes darkened:
"After the success of condensing evil, it's time to make great progress and condense the secret method again!"
"The dragon swallows the clouds, and there is water in the underworld. There should be the technique of 'swallowing the clouds, spitting out the mist, and calling for the wind and rain'..."
