Xu Dao put the promoted cuttlefish sword properly into his sleeve and stored it safely with the golden pole.
At the same time, after the cuttlefish sword returned to him, he dared to stand up, walk back and forth on the altar, and move a few times.
During the process of refining this sword, because the cuttlefish sword's breath-containing effect was lost, Xu Dao had to rely on his own breath-containing skills to hide his physical cultivation. Therefore, he sat cross-legged in the same position all day long to avoid being exposed due to activities.
Martial arts qi machine.
Due to his cautiousness and the fact that he had also improved his Qingjing Chapter skills, no one noticed the clues about him, which made Xu Dao secretly relieved.
After exercising for a while, Xu Dao called the Taoist servants around the altar and asked them to bring water and other things, wash his hands, and eat some wine and food.
After taking care of himself, he stood still in the altar, looking up at the starry goddess in astonishment.
The golden flaming ropes in the cage still locked the opponent tightly, leaving no room for him.
This goddess suddenly seemed very close, but in fact she was at least a thousand steps away from him.
For more than half a year, the Goddess of the Stars has been as motionless as a stone sculpture. There has never been the slightest difference, as if she has died.
However, all the Taoist priests present knew that the Starry Goddess was not dead. The vitality inside was still very strong. If it poured out, it would immediately burn all the people and objects in the golden birdcage without leaving any trace behind. It was dangerous.
Very.
The next thing they have to do is to refine such rich vitality into medicine and give it to the master of Qianlong Pavilion.
Xu Dao sighed in his heart: "After more than half a year of preparation, we finally have to start working on something important!"
During the past half year, he also understood why Qianlong Pavilion would change the tasks they were responsible for from time to time, and each task was only a certain link, which did not require them to refine the finished pills, nor did they need them.
Make a complete array.
This is because Qianlong Pavilion is deliberately testing their skills, distinguishing the true from the false, and selecting those with superb skills.
Disrupting the entire process and making each Taoist priest responsible for only one link can not only hide the specific steps of refining, but also prevent others from causing trouble.
If there is an error in the subsequent refining process, other Taoist priests can make it up in time.
In addition, during more than half a year of preparation, not only the Taoist priests in the cage became familiar with the process, but the people in charge of the overall situation also figured out what each Taoist priest was good at.
Once the refining of the goddess begins, everything in the cage can be put to good use, people can make full use of their talents, and the level of each Taoist priest can be brought out to the maximum extent.
Xu Dao was thinking in his mind: "I wonder what specific tasks will be assigned to me in the process of refining the goddess?"
These days, although he has only been focused on enriching his own pockets, he has completed the tasks assigned to him well, and he has also properly demonstrated his talents in talisman formations.
In the last few months, Qianlong Pavilion no longer entrusted him with matters unrelated to the talisman formation. He only asked him to draw talisman, carve the formation plate, or use various formations to refine various materials.
Xu Dao faintly noticed that Qianlong Pavilion seemed to be consciously training him to become familiar with different formations.
This made him secretly look forward to it: "When the refining officially begins, even if the task I am responsible for is only one of the tasks, among the many Taoist priests, I will definitely be the most critical group."
For a while, he was looking forward to the official refining of the goddess: "I hope to get more benefits before the goddess is completely refined!"
After several times of anticipation, Xu Dao calmed down. After checking the altar where he was, he sat cross-legged in the center of the altar, eyes slightly closed, and waited silently.
Several hours passed.
There are twenty-seven altars scattered throughout the birdcage, connected in a circle, and each one is located.
At this moment, not only was the altar cleaned, but the Taoist servants, shark girls and snake girls who had been accompanying the Taoist priests for more than half a year were also cleared away, leaving only the Taoist priests stationed at the altar.
This is because once the process of refining the goddess is formalized, the spiritual energy in the cage will inevitably riot, and crises will arise. The fewer people waiting around, the better.
But except for people, the rest of the place in the birdcage was full, which was very different from when Xu Dao first came here half a year ago.
The lead and mercury in the cage are like rivers, the formation flags are like clouds and neon, the talismans are like forest trees, and the medicine is like stars suspended in the air, flickering... In addition, there are densely packed talisman coins stacked on the ground.
The entire birdcage is covered.
This formation seemed to create a reflection of the heaven and earth in the cage, which was condensed and strange.
However, the exact purpose of this arrangement will not be revealed until refining begins.
Gradually, all preparations were made, and twenty-seven Taoist priests, including Xu Dao, were on standby.
When the outside sky just went out, there was a soft ding!
The entire treasure house was dimmed instantly, and the huge birdcage was hidden in the darkness, as if it had disappeared.
Only the goddess of stars in the center stands squatting, her body emitting pure white light, like an eternal torch.
The Hidden Dragon Orders in the hands of the twenty-seven Taoist priests jumped out of their sleeves one after another, suspended in front of the faces of the Taoist priests, and flashed out text.
Xu Daomeng opened his eyes, glanced at the Qianlong Order, and immediately saw his mission clearly: "Control this formation, check for leaks and fill in the gaps."
Its task is to command a large formation, smooth out stagnation, fill in gaps, and ensure that the formation is successfully deployed. There are eighteen Taoist priests who are good at formations in the cage, and they all listen to his orders to ensure that the formation operates day and night.
endlessly.
Immediately, a rather complete formation drawing slowly unfolded above the Hidden Dragon Order, with eighteen light points flickering in it.
As soon as Xu Dao's spiritual consciousness moved, he discovered that this array diagram was closely related to nearly half of the layout in the cage. He could also communicate with the eighteen Taoist priests in the cage through eighteen light points.
It is worth mentioning that in this extremely complete formation diagram, Xu Dao saw strong traces of the ninth-grade alchemy formation.
Even if this formation is not a replica of the Ninth-Rank Alchemy Formation, it is inseparable from the Ninth-Rank Alchemy Formation.
However, compared with the layout of the Dancheng Formation, the types of materials, spiritual level, and requirements required by the side in front of us have been reduced, and the emphasis is on quantity.
This immediately made Xu Dao very happy:
"Although Xuanzhen Sect's ninth-grade elixir formation is extremely effective, just gathering a spiritual material is comparable to hunting for a great elixir, not to mention the possibility of failure. And the Qianlong Pavilion's
The square formation method provides a formation method that relies on quantity to win. It is worth pondering for me.
"This improved array is another great harvest. We will see how effective it is later. If it is suitable, I will use it!"
