Xu Dao immediately began to use his brain to remember the formation diagram released by the Qianlong Token firmly in his mind. Every detail was clear, and no part was unclear.
The process of refining the goddess has just begun, and other Taoist priests on the scene have also received corresponding tasks, and they all silently observe it like Xu Tao.
In the huge golden birdcage, the spiritual light flickers, and the energy is magnificent but it is still hidden and has not yet surged.
And just outside the huge golden birdcage, there was a huge body that was already spiraling around the cage. The thick scales rubbed against the birdcage, making a metallic sound.
However, its head and tail are hidden in darkness, making it unclear how big the owner of this body is.
An indifferent gaze fell from the darkness, quietly watching everything in the birdcage.
Xu Dao and others stayed inside, and their behaviors were different, but they all clearly fell into the eyes of the giant thing, but they didn't realize it.
After a long time, a cold voice sounded: "Yes, in just thirty years, we have been able to gather all the materials and recruit many talents from all over. You are indispensable!"
The giant creature's eyes staring at the birdcage moved to the front of the birdcage.
There were two figures standing there, one was stooped with an old face, and the other had a sinister appearance with blond hair and a golden beard.
When the two heard the voice, they had different reactions. The old-looking man quickly bowed his waist and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, that's ridiculous. This old man is just doing some minor things for the people in the pavilion. It's just a small contribution."
But before the old man finished speaking, the blond man with golden beard next to him snorted coldly: "I shed a lot of blood in order to catch the cheap maid from Fanxing Island! You want to send me away with just a compliment?"
When the old man heard that the blond man with golden beard was so rude, he was immediately shocked and angry, and turned to glare at him: "You are rude! You,"
But when the other party heard his question, he glanced at him and snorted coldly. The golden light on his body flashed, and the fierce energy pressed on the old man's body, making the old man's face turn pale involuntarily, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he could no longer say a word in his mouth.
Cackling!
The giant creature on the birdcage next to it trembled and squirmed several times. A ferocious snake head slowly sank from the darkness and landed in front of the birdcage, looking down at the two people confronting each other.
On the top of this snake's head, there are towering horns, luxurious scales, and colorful clothes. It is the master of the Qianlong Pavilion that Xu Dao once watched from a distance.
Its vertical eyes were cold, and it looked intently at the blond man with golden beard. It opened its mouth and breathed out, and said in an urn voice: "Golden Ou, what do you want? If you die, I can fulfill it for you now."
The two people it was sizing up were Mr. Le and Venerable Jin Ou respectively.
The storm surged in the Baibaoku, blowing the clothes of the two men, and completely dissolving the confrontation between them.
Jin Ou was looked at by the Master of Qianlong Pavilion, and his expression suddenly became uncertain. He looked up at the Master of Qianlong Pavilion who was in the giant snake state, but he didn't have the slightest intention of getting angry.
Thoughts flashed through Venerable Jin Ou's mind: "This guy's aura is getting stronger and stronger. He obviously doesn't have an elixir, not even a dragon, but his aura is even more shocking than an ordinary golden elixir."
The man's expression became more and more embarrassing. He flicked his sleeves, his body flashed, and he fled outside the Treasure House with his hands behind his back, leaving only a voice:
"Little snake, don't forget the promise you and I made, Jie, otherwise even if you really cultivate the top-grade golden elixir, you won't be able to keep it. Even with this huge foundation, if it weren't for the poor Taoist right now, you would still be able to hold on to it.
How long will you stay?”
The sound echoed loudly in the treasure house, knocking down countless piles of talisman coins and mineral materials.
The master of the Qianlong Pavilion did not leave the huge bird cage. It was still hovering around the cage, watching the other person say harsh words and then left.
After the huge iron door of the Hundred Treasure House opened and closed, and the figure of Venerable Jin Ou disappeared completely, the old man gasped for breath and was freed from the frozen state just now.
Le Lao's face was still pale, but there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, he showed a ruthless look and whispered: "My lord, this bastard is quite domineering. Why don't we lock him in a cage with the starry goddess?"
By refining them together, I can contribute to the Lord’s journey of transforming into a dragon!”
The master of Qianlong Pavilion did not answer Le Lao's words. He raised his head, his huge body squirmed, and disappeared into the darkness again.
The giant creature continued to look at the twenty-seven altars in the birdcage and the stone-like starry goddess.
Seeing that the master of Qianlong Pavilion did not respond, Mr. Le said in a low tone: "If the master is worried about missing the important matter, I can..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard an indifferent voice coming from above his head: "No need. The thing in the cage is a medicine specially selected by this Tao. The golden gull allowed this thing to swallow several islands, and it has been polluted.
If you refine it into the spiritual essence, I'm afraid it will contaminate the great medicine of this Tao even more."
When Mr. Le heard this, he was suddenly shocked.
He originally thought that the Goddess of the Stars swallowing a few more islands and strengthening her soul would be a good thing for the Master of Qianlong Pavilion, but he didn't expect it to be a bad thing.
The master of Qianlong Pavilion seemed to have read through Le Lao's thoughts. His eyes moved and glanced at Le Lao. Finally, his voice and expression took on a hint of emotion, and he said with a sneer:
"Otherwise, why do you think the other two bosses would be so willing to take action to capture this object for us?"
In response, the master of Qianlong Pavilion said: "What I just said, I will give you a great elixir after I have achieved my goal. When the time comes, the golden gull will kill or behead you, you can do it as you like."
When Mr. Le heard this, his expression immediately cheered up. He lowered his head even lower and said respectfully: "Old slave, I have nothing to ask for. I only hope that the Lord will achieve enlightenment."
There was a chuckle, and the Qianlong Pavilion Master no longer looked at Le Lao, but fell on the head of the person in the birdcage.
Its soft chirp sounded at the scene:
"This person is not bad! He actually mastered one-tenth of the true inheritance of the Xuan Zhen Sect. If I remember correctly, he only received the inheritance of the Xuan Zhen Sect four years ago. He has the potential of a Talisman Array Master. If he refines it,
Something goes wrong in the process, and everyone else can abandon it, but this person has to be saved."
As soon as Lelao heard the comments from the Master of Qianlong Pavilion, he thought of a person in his mind. He quickly raised his head and looked into the huge bird cage, and immediately noticed that the light and color of the cage changed, clearly revealing the figure of that person.
This person is none other than Xu Dao.
Xu Dao had already memorized the formation diagram given by the Qianlong Order. He was closing his eyes, making gestures in the air, and simulating how to arrange such a large formation in his mind.
Various talisman formations flashed in his hands, changing unpredictably and casting them at will.
It was this scene that attracted the attention of the Qianlong Pavilion Master.
Mr. Le also stared at Xu Dao, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to himself: "It seems that it is right to hand over the important task of the talisman array to this person!"
Mr. Le has always been the general manager of Qianlong Pavilion. For more than half a year, he has also been arranging things in the Golden Bird Cage.
It was not until the end that due to lack of ability, he finalized the selection of moderators for the three aspects of talismans, elixirs, and utensils, and then retreated behind the scenes to watch with Qianlong Pavilion.
As for the three finalized candidates, Mr. Le was actually uneasy, lest he chose the wrong person and hindered the Qianlong Pavilion Master's important affairs. Fortunately, now that he heard the Qianlong Pavilion Master's praise, he suddenly understood that at least three people
One of the candidates, he did not choose wrong.
Le Lao squinted his eyes and watched Xu Dao's behavior more carefully.
………………
In a golden birdcage.
Xu Dao opened his eyes suddenly. Although he didn't know that he had become the main focus of the two people outside the cage, he still did not relax at all in terms of behavior.
He slowly exhaled, feeling refreshed, and continued to praise in his heart:
"Such a formation, if I mastered all the 108 formations of Xuanzhen Sect, it might take me six or seven years to improve it. But if I were to do it now, given my level, it would take a long time.
It will only be possible in sixty or seventy years."
"The feasibility of this formation is extremely high. Once you master it, it will save me years or even decades of effort."
What he didn't know was that if Qianlong Pavilion Master and Le Lao knew that it would take him sixty or seventy years to improve the Alchemy Formation, their evaluation of him would definitely rise to a higher level.
Because of this improved formation, Qianlong Pavilion collected many talisman formation warriors from the West Sea, studied in many ways, spent thirty years, and also invited a certain Jindan Taoist who was good at talisman formations to take action, and finally decided on this formation.
Law.
After deciding on the formation diagram, in order to avoid being unable to arrange it, or not being able to activate it after the arrangement, Qianlong Pavilion carefully selected nineteen Talisman formation Taoist priests, including Xu Dao, to enter, and only then dared to activate the grand formation.
As the leader of the Taoist priests of the Talisman Formation, Xu Dao understood the formation in his hands. Without thinking much, he immediately communicated with the eighteen light points representing other Taoist priests through the Hidden Dragon Order and made various arrangements.
Among the remaining Talisman Array Taoist priests, although there are some who have mastered many formation patterns of the Xuan Array Sect and are highly skilled in Talisman Arrays, and there are even some who have mastered a few more spell formations than Xu Dao, they have not looked up from the formation diagrams they have obtained.
Get started.
Upon receiving Xu Dao's order, everyone was awakened and many people were unhappy.
But after seeing the formation ideas and assigned tasks given by Xu Dao, they thought about it for a moment and immediately felt awe-inspiring in their hearts:
"Hey! This messenger seems to be pretty good.", "Which Talisman from Xihai is this?", "Why didn't I think of this method?"...
Seeing that the eighteen Taoist priests did not respond immediately, Xu Dao stretched out his finger and flicked the Hidden Dragon Order and announced:
"Fellow Taoists, the base of the cage formation is ready. We will work together to channel the spiritual power immediately, unite the Hunyuan, and raise the great formation!"
After eighteen light spots swayed, although there was hesitation, messages were sent back one after another: "Yes."
"good."
Xu Dao sat cross-legged. He looked at the river of lead and mercury in the golden birdcage. He waved his sleeves suddenly and the magic power came out: "Fellow Taoists, if you stir up trouble, you can drive away the lead and mercury and condense the water formation patterns."
'."
Once the job was done, another command sounded:
"At this time, we should move mountains and pound rocks to carve the 'mountain-moving formation pattern'."
…
"Fire lotus sprouts from the ground in the cage, and the smoke rises into the sky, creating a 'cloud and rain pattern'."
…
"The evil spirit is dirty, so it should sink; the strong spirit is manic, and it should rise. Yin and Yang are divided into two parts, and they should be manipulated immediately."
Order after order was issued from the altar where Xu Dao was.
He either performed it in the birdcage himself, or worked with others, causing the cage to soon be filled with layers of spiritual light. The light was like waves, lingering in the golden birdcage.
Buzz!
The formation, which was only a prototype, started to move slowly and majestically, making the entire golden birdcage tremble.
The master of Qianlong Pavilion outside the cage watched this scene, his eyes swaying, and his heart showed great surprise.
Le Lao beside him also looked moved and was happy for it.
In the cage, except for the Taoist priest in charge of the talisman formation, the other Taoist priests were also awakened by the movement of the bird cage, and quickly cooperated with the formation to start their own tasks.
Some of them hurriedly replaced the damaged formation flags immediately, which could not be refining and repaired on the spot; others poured medicinal materials into the lead and mercury rivers to match the yin and yang of the five elements; others hurriedly distributed elixirs and sent them to various altars.
Ask the Taoist priest to take it, so as not to be unable to withstand the surging spiritual energy in the cage.
All twenty-seven altars were busy without exception.
Xu Dao falls among them. Although he has the most things to take care of, he is good at using distractions, so it doesn't feel difficult.
He repeatedly distracted himself from the matter at hand and watched the operation of the entire formation, including the changes in the birdcage magic weapon.
Xu Daofu praised: "Those who formed the formation of nine-grade elixirs are trying to imitate the heaven and earth, and use the power of heaven and earth to pour it into the Taoist body. The heaven and earth act as a furnace to melt the Taoist, and then assist the Taoist to form the great elixir and raise the level of the great elixir... Now a day
See, it really lives up to its reputation and its effectiveness is real!”
Throughout the birdcage, thousands of auras mingled and surged, cold wind and rain, fire and ice, and thousands of scenes flickered.
The body of the imprisoned Star Goddess in the center finally began to change. The white light on her body surface was frozen, the long hair on the back of her head was chopped off, and her skin and flesh began to collapse.
Although her divine power is still there, it is no longer intact, but her entire body is slowly melting like a candle.
A few days later.
Xu Dao looked up again and found that the other person's facial features were mottled and there was spiritual fluid flowing on his cheeks, like tears from a burning candle.
The entire golden birdcage has turned into a huge and magical alchemy furnace, and the goddess of stars is the medicinal material being cooked and refined.
Xu Dao and the other Taoist priests were responsible for lighting the fire and chopping wood, but they were also inside the furnace, not outside it.
Fortunately, the place they were in was a blind spot of the "Alchemy Furnace", and they were protected by the altar, so they didn't have to worry about refining themselves.
Time continues to pass.
Half a month, a month... several months.
The formation in the birdcage roared, the golden flames boiled and never extinguished, and the entire Star Goddess had already been transformed into pure thought power, which was filling the entire birdcage, roaring like a wind and cloud.
However, the refining process was still not completed. Xu Dao and others continued to drive the formation, control the furnace fire, and burn the huge spiritual thoughts day after day to remove impurities.
The refining process lasted for such a long time. If Xu Dao and others were not Taoist priests at the Foundation Establishment Realm, they would have been unable to endure it.
Fortunately, with the continuous deepening of refining, the formation has already started to operate on its own, and Xu Dao has arranged the eighteen Taoist priests under him in an orderly manner, each performing their duties, making it easier than before.
He himself has no specific tasks and only needs to take some time to look at the formations.
After he was free, Xu Dao looked at the majestic power of thought and coveted it in his heart: "If I can use it, even if it's not much, just a little bit."
After this idea emerged, it started beating in his heart and could not calm down for a long time.
Especially when the power of thought in the cage surged and could distort people's consciousness, gaze and other means of perception, four words popped into Xu Dao's mind:
