Surprised in his heart, Xu Dao understood that his Ningsha realm was just the last step away from reaching perfection.
And he looked up at the surging goddess' telepathy in the golden birdcage, and found that the amount of telepathy was still huge. After he had absorbed it for a long time, it seemed as if nothing had been lost.
But looking more closely, Xu Dao still found some clues.
He didn't pay too much attention to this. Although his request was huge and the mental power consumed was not a drop in the bucket, for the entire goddess, it was still only one percent, and it was nothing at the moment.
Perhaps he drank it directly here until it was on the verge of forming pills, and then he consumed too much and was exposed.
Xu Dao sighed again in his heart: "She deserves to be called the Goddess of the Stars, her mental power is huge! I need to keep up my efforts and complete the Taoist practice as soon as possible!"
After a long period of tempering, the mind power of the goddess in the cage is now very pure. If an ordinary Taoist priest obtains it, it can be taken as a spiritual elixir.
At an unspecified time, all the thoughts in the cage will merge into one, and be refined into a big medicine, which will be taken away by the master of Qianlong Pavilion.
He needs to hurry up!
After quickly resting his mind and body, Xu Dao stood up from the altar not long after, firmly stepped out of the altar area, and was surrounded by the surging thought power outside the altar.
He no longer swallowed the mental power in batches like before, but his body and soul swallowed it together, increasing the absorption speed as much as possible.
Time continues to pass bit by bit.
Under such intense cultivation, Xu Dao suffered even more pain, but the speed at which his cultivation level increased also made him extremely happy!
Another month or two has passed, and he only needs to go in and out two or three times at the end, and his practice will be complete!
But when he regrouped and walked out of the altar in high spirits again, the huge golden birdcage suddenly shook!
boom!
The golden flames in the birdcage swirled crazily, and the whole body trembled like never before.
Xu Dao looked shocked, and he quickly retracted his outstretched leg in time, and activated his magic power to restore the formation pattern outside his altar to its original state.
The golden flames outside the altar were no longer blocked, but also swept up the altar where he was. The heat even penetrated the barrier, making his hair smell burnt.
If Xu Dao had not been accustomed to this kind of heat, he would have cried out in pain on the spot.
He didn't feel pain, but screams came from many of the other twenty-six altars, and calls for help rang out: "Ah!"
"It hurts me so much!"
"Help me!!" he screamed, and his cry for help could be heard for miles.
These screams made Xu Dao's expression suddenly change, and he thought in horror: "Could there be a refining error and the furnace is about to explode?"
After a while, he added layers of protective spells to himself, but what made him relieved was that although the golden flames outside the altar were raging, they did not burn down the altar where he was, and only continued to emit a sound that was difficult for ordinary people.
It's just the heat you can endure.
But the next moment, an even more frightening incident occurred.
A voice sounded, making Xu Dao, who was already feeling hot all over his body, feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar. A cold snort sounded from the cage:
"You Taoist priests, do you think that this Taoism is easy to deceive? It is really hateful to steal oil and rice like rats!"
His voice swept across all directions, deafening and deafening.
After Xu Dao heard this, he only had one thought: "It's over, we've been discovered!"
He felt uneasy, but his hands were not slow and he immediately took out the golden rod from his sleeve and held it in his hand.
This golden pole comes from the fairy garden and can capture golden elixirs. It is the most powerful object on Xu Dao's body. It can be big or small, and the golden flames in the cage cannot damage it at all. Holding it may have a chance of survival!
In addition to the golden pole, he also placed a small flag on his head.
Just when Xu Dao was thinking about whether to take the lead, break the altar, smash the cage formation, and rush out first before the opponent could react.
Things have turned around!
Other Taoist priests begged for mercy: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore! Pavilion Master, please spare my life!"
"Pavilion Master, have mercy on me, it's the little lard that has deceived my heart!"
Several shouts rang out in succession, and they continued to be mixed with the other party's miserable howls, but on Xu Dao's side, the person who was suspected to be the master of Qianlong Pavilion did not see any eyes or consciousness for a long time.
Immediately, Xu Dao thought of something, and he quickly took out his Hidden Dragon Token and looked at the eighteen light spots on it.
I saw that most of the light spots were completely dim and could not communicate with each other. Only six light spots were left that flickered on and off, but could possibly communicate.
The Hidden Dragon Order is interconnected with the altar beneath them. As long as there is no problem with the altar, it will flicker on and off, but it will not completely dim.
Xu Dao hesitated slightly and quickly responded, asking the Taoist priests who could still be contacted what happened.
Four of the six people were even more ignorant than Xu Dao and asked him what happened. The other two gave the same guess as Xu Dao:
"Perhaps someone broke the altar and stole the precious medicine (mind power) outside the altar?"
Soon, the cold and stern voice outside the cage continued to speak angrily, answering their doubts: "I will completely untie the barrier now, so that you and other rats can have a feast!"
Screams rang out: "No! Master, spare your life, don't open the altar!"
"Misunderstood! It's not that I want to steal the treasure. It's because the barrier of the altar is damaged. I collected it for the Pavilion Master first."
The golden birdcage shook suddenly, and the sound of cracking cracking sounded in the cage. It was not loud, but the screams and desperate cries that followed were shocking.
"Spare your life, spare your life..."
There were quite a few screams, but in the middle of the words, they suddenly stopped and there was no more sound.
When Xu Dao heard these movements, he immediately knew that most of the altars in the birdcage were broken, the barrier was no longer there, and the Taoist priests inside were burned alive.
Fortunately for him, there was nothing strange about the altar where he was, the barrier was intact, and not a trace of golden flame came in.
Taking a breath secretly, Xu Dao thought happily: "Fortunately, when I harvested my telekinesis, I took the risk and stepped out of the altar to pick it myself. I didn't think about the altar or the barrier being tampered with."
At present, the goddess's refining is nearing the end, and the remaining mental power is pure. Xu Dao covets these mental powers, and other Taoist priests naturally also covet them, and there are not a few brave people.
It's just that they didn't start the layout early in the morning. The golden flames outside the altar were so thick that they couldn't be driven away. They didn't have the courage or ability to step out of the altar to harvest telekinesis, so they could only play tricks on the altar's barrier.
The less sophisticated method is just to smash the hole in the altar barrier and lie down in the hole to absorb telekinesis; the more advanced method is to just create a gap, or to tamper with the altar barrier.
It is a pity that due to Xu Dao's arrangement, although people outside the cage cannot observe the situation in the cage and can only take a rough look, the twenty-seven altars and their protective barriers have all been prepared early.
These Taoist priests tampered with the altar, and without exception, they all touched the backhand of the master of Qianlong Pavilion and shocked the other party, which led to such a disaster.
To deal with these Taoist priests, the master of Qianlong Pavilion does not need to do anything himself. He only needs to give an order to remove the altar barrier, and the Taoist priests will be burned to death by the golden flames in the cage.
"Ah! Spare me, I know how to refine medicine. I beg the Pavilion Master to give me another chance!"
"Pavilion master, this matter is important! Spare my life..."
The screams were still ringing. It was obvious that these Taoist priests were quite capable and could barely hold on for some time in the golden flames. But Xu Dao understood that in the realm of foundation building, he would be burned to death in less than half an hour if he encountered such fierce flames.
need.
The master of Qianlong Pavilion outside the cage heard the Taoist priests' pleading, and he was so angry that he hissed like a smile:
"We pride ourselves on benevolence and righteousness. We have enough money in our treasury, and we have specially prepared twenty-seven square fire shelters to allow you and others to hide, so that you will not get the bad reputation of hiding everything. Who will let you and others seek death? And will
If you steal anything from me, spit it out!"
After the words fell, the Taoist priests who begged for mercy burst into tears, not to mention how much they regretted it.
On Xu Dao's Hidden Dragon Order, the remaining six unknown Taoist priests also sent out messages frantically, either thankful that they were not greedy, or laughing at the short-sightedness of the Taoist priests who were burned.
After Xu Dao received these messages, he also discussed them with the other party, and he was very happy in his words.
While they were discussing and commenting, the screaming Taoist priests had to recognize the reality. The master of Qianlong Pavilion was determined to burn them all to death.
The begging for mercy gradually turned into curses: "Bah! A loach wants to turn into a dragon!"
"Snake! Pindao curses you on the day when you form an elixir and when your body explodes!"
The most foul-smelling words spewed out from the mouths of these Taoist priests, cursing the Master of Qianlong Pavilion from top to bottom.
When Xu Dao thought that these people were just incompetent and angry, a Taoist priest took action: "Haha! Since you want someone to die, then someone will destroy your great cause of elixir formation first!"
"Break it for me!"
The screams were mixed with auras or shouts, and the burned Taoist priests used their own methods to destroy the layout in the cage, especially the layout they were responsible for previously.
Whoosh!
These Taoist priests were desperately agitated, and the golden flames in the birdcage were even more manic. However, the master of Qianlong Pavilion who was watching all this outside the cage only chuckled, showing great disdain.
Soon, Xu Dao discovered that no matter how much damage those Taoist priests had done, the process of refining the Star Goddess was still not reversed at all.
This is because the improved formation was born out of the Nine-Rank Alchemy Formation Formation. It is the same as the Alchemy Formation Formation. Once it is running, especially in the middle and late stages, even if the Golden Alchemy Taoist comes, there is no way to interrupt it.
When this array of elixirs is raised, there is no return, and it is either life or death.
In the process of forming elixirs, Taoist priests behave violently and earth-shatteringly. If part of the formation stops functioning if it is destroyed, it will not be suitable for such a critical moment.
Through the resistance of these Taoist priests, Xu Dao gained a deeper understanding of the Nine-Rank Alchemy Formation.
But the Taoist priests who resisted did not only use this method. Some of them drank unwillingly and resentfully: "Snake! You are the one who forced me here!"
The sharp sound made Xu Dao and the surviving Taoist priests follow the sound and look sideways.
As he finished speaking, a blue-purple light appeared in the birdcage.
Its light color could not be suppressed even by the tyrannical golden flames, and a burly giant rose from the ground, reaching a height of thirty feet, with a golden birdcage on its head.
What is even more shocking is that the Qi exuded from this animal is far more powerful than that of the Foundation-Building Taoist Priest.
Xu Dao looked at it, and a word popped into his mind: "Golden Pill Taoist?" But he immediately changed his mind: "No, it's a talisman. This Taoist used the talisman given by the Golden Pill Taoist!"
The giant green and purple thing supported the golden flames, raised its hooves, and trampled in all directions in the cage, shaking and shaking.
Fortunately, the twenty-seven altars were far apart, so the opponent's first goal was to quickly open the birdcage and escape.
Otherwise, the giant purple thing would just wreak havoc in the cage, and surviving Taoist priests like Xu Dao would be in danger if the altar where they were standing was trampled down.
In addition to the giant green and purple thing, which was silent and silent, another huge ice brick appeared in the birdcage. The coldness was so intense that even the golden flames around it could be vaguely frozen.
A Taoist priest who was bathed in fire, holding this huge ice brick, soared into the air, with a fierce face, and slapped the golden birdcage fiercely, making a clanging sound.
This Yuhuo Taoist priest also has a talisman in his hand, and it is different from ordinary magic talismans. It seems to be integrated with the power of the golden elixir Taoist magic weapon, which is far more powerful than the giant blue and purple thing!
The two of them fought independently for a while, then immediately joined forces, shaking the huge birdcage and shaking it.
Two of the twenty-seven Taoist priests both had talismans. This situation was not uncommon, but the other party carried the talisman into the birdcage and successfully used it.
The master of Qianlong Pavilion, who was watching coldly outside the cage, became furious when he saw it.
boom!
It suddenly tore off the restrictions on the surface of the golden birdcage, as if the cover had been removed, and the scene outside the cage suddenly appeared in the eyes of the person in the cage.
One of its thick scaly tails was coiled around the birdcage several times and was slowly tightening. The muscles were squirming and the scales were rubbing together, causing the entire golden birdcage to creak.
The master of Qianlong Pavilion lowered his head, looked down into the cage from the darkness, and said coldly:
"If it is as expected, no matter how carefully you select and investigate carefully, you will inevitably be attracted by those losers."
As it spoke, Le Lao stared at him from outside the birdcage, his face suddenly filled with shame.
The master of Qianlong Pavilion has a majestic head and horns, and his body is colorful, extremely luxurious.
It roared and sneered: "You trash, don't you know why I want to put you in a cage?"
Xu Dao looked up at the opponent's huge body. After hearing this, he was the first to understand: "I thought this birdcage was tough and magical. It was mainly used as an alchemy furnace to refine the starry goddess. After all, it can refine the alchemy furnace of a Taoist priest. There is no way in the world.
It’s rare, and the West China Sea is not always a problem…”
"Now it seems that the greater role of this birdcage is to imprison the Taoist priests to prevent the riot from succeeding."
Bang!
The huge blue-purple objects and huge ice bricks continued to smash the bird cage without stopping, and the momentum once overshadowed the surging golden flames in the cage.
But no matter how hurried they were, and the Taoist priests tried their best again, they could still only shake the bird cage, and they were still far from breaking out of the cage.
The mixed light and color scene in the cage fell into the vertical eyes of the Qianlong Pavilion Master. His eyes were full of playfulness, ridicule, and pride.
Xu Dao saw the look in the eyes of the Master of Qianlong Pavilion. He turned back secretly, looked at the golden birdcage where he was, and murmured in his heart: "Could it be that the grade of this birdcage is not just a golden elixir magic weapon?"
The screams in the cage started again: "No, no! Spare my life."
"It's impossible, it's impossible that it can't be smashed open, let me out."
The struggling Taoist priests were like clowns, hysterical, but fell down one by one in the cage. Their bodies were burned to death in an instant, and the benefits they had eaten were returned to the birdcage one by one.
Only Xu Dao, the real "big thief", stood on the altar of safety and was not very sad.
