Xu Dao did not take away the imperial liquid in the white pool, but still placed it in the pool.
It is quite difficult to store something like Emperor's Liquid. Even if it is stored in a jade bottle containing spiritual energy, and the above-mentioned sealing spell is applied, the moonlight will still continue to flow away, but the speed may be faster or slower.
Therefore, when Taoist priests get something like Emperor's Liquid, they usually use it as soon as possible, either taking it directly or refining it into elixirs as medicinal materials. Among them, the former has the most benefits, while the latter can only retain the wonderful effect of Emperor's Liquid.
A sort of.
However, in a terrain like "Jilan Island", the imperial fluid will not dissipate with the passage of time.
On the contrary, it is precisely because of the passage of time that the water that was originally just containing moonlight slowly sedimented like wine, and finally became the Imperial Liquid.
Faced with such magical terrain and landforms, Xu Dao praised the magic of nature.
The subtlety of this wonderful effect has surpassed all the formations he has seen so far, and the sea city formation on Baili Floating Beach is not as good.
What also amazed him was the formation that Tianshu Taoist had painstakingly arranged on this terrain.
In addition to arranging formations to gather the essence of the moon and protect Jilan's terrain, Taoist Tianshu also created an extremely deep passage at the bottom of the cave. She guided the geothermal energy into the cave, cooking the white pool at all times.
The water of moonlight accelerates the transformation of moonlight into imperial ooze.
It is this geothermal energy that drives the entire formation and is one of the sources of power for the formation.
Otherwise, without the spiritual veins and spiritual energy, relying solely on the supply of moon essence, the imperial fluid accumulated in the cave every month would not be enough to consume the formation itself.
In addition, this secret vault itself has various subtleties.
Xu Dao stayed in the cave for a full month, and was amazed by the secret vault itself every day. He even temporarily put aside the task of repairing the "Xiaodong Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman".
After comprehending the entire secret library, Xu Dao spent nearly half a year, trembling and cautiously repairing and adjusting this large formation involving hundreds of deserted islands.
Three hundred years have passed since Taoist Tianshu founded this secret library.
Over the past three hundred years, the ground veins have fluctuated, rocks have weathered, and seawater has eroded. The topography and formations of the secret vault have all deviated a lot from the original situation. Among them, there are blocked and broken passages, and there are only a few formations.
After many repairs and maintenance, the entire secret library has recovered a lot, the moonlight has gathered more, and a light mist has risen on the island, which continues all day long and spreads to hundreds of miles away.
Although it does not have much protection, it can hide the entire secret vault, so that even if a Taoist who knows the terrain of "Jilan Land" passes by, he will not be able to recognize it.
In addition, although Xu Dao cannot lay out a large formation with a range of tens of miles, he can lay out a formation with a range of several thousand feet.
He used the white pool that stored the emperor's liquid as the core, superimposed on the original formation in the cave, and arranged another set of defensive formations.
After all this was taken care of, the cave completely changed.
The cave, which originally contained nothing but stalactites, now has water flow, some vegetation has been planted, and many holes have been opened in the surrounding walls to connect to the outside world. Every day, tooth soldiers pass through the holes.
.
The first is to use the tooth general scale soldiers to patrol a hundred miles around as an early warning; the second is to monitor the smoothness of the entire secret warehouse. If there is any stagnation, the tooth general scale soldiers will report to Xu Dao in time, without him having to go one by one in person.
Let’s go and visit the island.
On this day, in the center of the secret cave.
Xu Dao sat cross-legged above the white pool where Emperor Manchu's liquid was stored, looking at the orderly order in the cave, his eyes filled with a sense of accomplishment.
The reason why he put so much effort into reorganizing the secret treasury was because his thoughts in his heart had changed. He no longer wanted to hastily stay here for two or three years and then leave.
Xu Dao has taken this place as his own foundation and must manage it well.
He withdrew his gaze from around the cave, glanced at the white pool beneath him, and thought in his mind:
"Although this place has no spiritual veins, the energy of the moonlight gathers every day, and it is also a geomantic treasure. If I really leave this place, where should I go to find a suitable cave?"
"Besides, the spiritual veins in the entire West Sea land are exhausted. Even if there are 108 island forces, the spiritual veins on their islands are weak. I am afraid they are not as good as my 'Moonlight Treasure Island'."
Xu Dao gave the cave a name that he felt was appropriate, and made the decision that he would cultivate quietly here and would not leave here until he reached the realm of refining power.
It just so happened that he had just experienced a big change in Baili Fucha. Even though he had run far away, it was better to continue to avoid the limelight.
After settling his mind, Xu Dao put away his distracting thoughts, closed his eyes slightly, and began to practice using the emperor's liquid in the white pool to refine his true energy.
A trace of light golden water floated up and wrapped around his body, turning him into a golden cocoon and turning into mist, which he slowly swallowed into his body.
In addition to Xu Dao taking the Emperor's Liquid, there was another thing quietly lying on the edge of the white pool, shrinking and carefully rubbing the Emperor's Liquid.
This thing is the Soaring Snake. Xu Dao kept it in the cave. Although he forbade the other party to swallow the Emperor's Ouyang, the Soaring Snake ate and drank while he was practicing, so he turned a blind eye.
Eye-catching.
It just so happened that when he was practicing, he also needed to use "The Art of One Heart and One Virtue" to improve the efficiency of his practice with the help of Soaring Snake.
One person and one snake live in peace and harmony, happily enjoying the emperor's liquid, each benefiting from it.
…………………………
The cave is quiet and leisurely, Xu Dao only needs to practice with one heart, and there will be no small gains every day.
Time passes.
Only after Xu Dao polished his Qi for more than a month did he break away from this feeling of pleasure.
This is not because he has consumed all the Imperial Liquid Slurry in the pool, but in order to avoid boredom, he ended his life of practicing Qi all day long and began to meditate on the exercises and formulas in his hands.
As a result, although the progress of his essence energy has slowed down, his experience in the talisman formation has increased day by day.
This kind of day where you can feel your strength increasing every day and gain new insights every day, makes Xu Dao Shimui know the taste and feel even more immersed.
It wasn't until a year later, when most of the spiritual materials in his bag were consumed, and there was no new talisman to activate Huang Tianzhen's magic, that he walked out of the cave for the first time.
But he didn't leave too far. Xu Dao just flew hundreds of miles away from the cave, looking for ferocious beasts in the sea and harvesting ferocious beast materials. After that, every once in a while, he would go out to the island to hunt monsters and get some fresh air.
Day after day, another three or four years passed.
Xu Dao finally broke off this retreat life of concentrating on spiritual practice.
In the past five years, he has understood most of the Taoism of Xuan Zhen Sect, and also understood a lot of the ancient star formations, and even sorted out and repaired the newly obtained golden elixir talismans.
The talisman seeds condensed in his mind were replenished each one. Not only did they become more condensed, their number also increased to seventy-two.
Through these seventy-two talisman seeds, Xu Dao swallowed the clouds and puffed out the mist, and the energy around him was extremely condensed. He spread the true energy around him, and anyone enveloped by the mist would be trapped in a formation-like detention.
In other words, Xu Dao's technique of swallowing clouds and spitting mist is already a formation that can kill, imprison, and confuse the enemy on a large scale.
In addition, the visualization of the underworld dragon made of seventy-two talismans has also become more lifelike, agile and powerful, making the amount of spiritual energy Xu Dao can visualize and swallow every day reach a higher level.
.
And these gains were all absorbed by him from the three orthodox traditions of Xuanzhen Sect, Fanxing Island, and "Xiaodong Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman".
Especially the "Xiaodong Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman" among them, Xu Dao has thoroughly understood the talismans of the fetal breath realm and the Qi Refining realm, and has also understood half of the talismans of the foundation-building realm.
Up to now, he can condense the destiny talisman in his mind at any time, and then insert the seventy-two talisman seeds into it and blend with each other.
It's just that he has not yet reached the realm of refining Gang, and has not faced the Danjie pass directly, so he is in no hurry to do so. In addition, he also believes that it is not too late to try again after he has fully comprehended the "Xiaodong Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman"
.
And in nearly five years, the above gains are not his biggest gains.
Xu Dao's biggest gain is that his true energy has been polished to the point where it is difficult to refine it. His one hundred and eighty years of Tao practice in both the immortal and martial arts are all profound and solid. His physical body and Yin spirit are full of vitality, and he is ready for the refining.
Now that he has everything ready, all he needs is the east wind, and he can immediately go straight into the Qingming, pick up the Gang Qi, and refine it into himself!
In the cave, Xu Dao's heart was beating, and his eyes suddenly opened with a strong light.
He raised his head slightly, feeling the weak but gradually increasing airflow in the cave, and understood that his "east wind" had arrived.
After four or five years of observation, Xu Dao already knew the sea area near Dongfu very well.
When he opened his eyes, it was the time of year when the clouds in the nearby sea were the lowest, and the wind on the sea was also the strongest.
In the thousands of miles of sea, cyclones will appear from time to time, hanging upside down in the sky, forming dragons sucking water.
It can suck fish and shrimps in the sea to a thousand feet or even ten thousand feet into the sky. With the help of these cyclones, Xu Dao can easily rise to high altitudes and harvest the Gangqi.
Realizing that the east wind has arrived, Xu Dao felt unbearable.
He no longer hesitated, stood up, and took out the conch-shaped treasure ship from his sleeve.
Holding the treasure ship in one hand, Xu Dao stretched out his other hand, grabbed the Soaring Snake that was resting in the cave, and immediately stepped out of the cave.
After coming to the outside world, the sky above Moonlight Treasure Island was really roaring, and the billowing fog was constantly surging. It was the same for thousands of miles nearby.
Xu Dao stood in mid-air, his robes being blown by the sea breeze, and he was delighted: "It's time to practice the Gang."
He laughed loudly, immediately threw the star snail ship in mid-air, held up the flying snake, and stepped towards the treasure ship.
Buzz!
The treasure ship, which was dozens of feet long, jumped out, vibrated loudly in mid-air, stopped a lot, and then went on a rampage, heading specifically for windy places.
Not long after, Xu Dao found an upside-down water column six hundred miles away from the cave.
He stood in the treasure ship and watched with his own eyes tens of millions of kilograms of seawater, being sucked up and rotated by the strong wind, and continuously being sucked high into the sky. It was as if there was really a giant dragon sucking up seawater in the high sky where the clouds were rolling.
Ordinary Taoists would try to avoid such a tornado even if they were Taoist priests. However, when Xu Dao saw it, he was immediately overjoyed. He drove the star snail boat and crashed into it.
Bang!
The treasure ship was swept by the wind and washed by the sea water, and the formation around it immediately shimmered.
When a treasure ship with a size of dozens of feet entered the tornado, it was rolled up like a larger fish and shrimp and spewed high into the sky.
Fortunately, Xu Dao had already maintained and repaired the Star Snail treasure ship a long time ago. Although he failed to restore the eighth meridian, the formation of the entire ship was complete, with no defects or weaknesses.
The star snail treasure ship fell into the tornado and withstood the huge tearing force.
When two or three moments passed, the formations on the treasure ship began to tremble violently, up and down the treasure ship, and it was no longer so relaxed.
Xu Dao stayed in the treasure ship and was not panicked by this. Instead, he was even more happy.
"If it's as rumored, when a boat encounters a dragon sucking water on the sea, no matter it is big or small, it is best to avoid it to avoid being sucked into the strong wind layer."
The dragons on the sea absorbing water are not necessarily caused by the gathering of ordinary wind, but may also be caused by the leakage of Gangqi from the sky. The bigger the water, the more likely it is!
Xu Daotiao went out during the time of year when dragons sucked water most frequently, and found a very powerful one. He was successfully sucked by the dragon and swept into the strong wind layer.
He looked around and looked down at his feet. The scene in his eyes was blurry, but all signs showed that he was at least 30,000 feet high.
A sharp aura was filling the surroundings of the treasure ship, causing the formation of the ship's hull to tremble.
Xu Dao stared at these auras, his eyes flickering.
These breaths are Gang Qi, which travel throughout the mountains and seas, forming Gang Winds, isolating the void, are sharp and strong, and can easily penetrate gold, crack rocks, destroy bones and rot flesh, which is quite the opposite of the evil and poisonous Earth Evil Qi.
But the Gang Qi that appeared in Xu Dao's eyes at this moment were only low-level types, and they were also affected by the tornado, making them chaotic.
Xu Dao raised his head slightly and aimed his gaze higher: "It is said that the sky has nine levels, one level of Gangfeng and one level of sky. I wonder which level of high sky will I reach when this tornado is exhausted?"
The reason why he rode the tornado was that he hoped to rely on the dragon's water-absorbing protection to penetrate as deep into the Gangfeng layer as possible and reduce the loss of the treasure ship itself.
But to Xu Dao's disappointment, the dragon sucked up water and held up the treasure ship. After rising hundreds of feet again, it was exhausted and pulled the treasure ship down instead.
Xu Dao quickly controlled the treasure ship, shook it with a loud noise, and sailed out of the tornado.
Woohoo!
As soon as the dragon came out to absorb the water, the cold and strong wind came in and hit the star snail treasure ship fiercely.
The formation roared, and the talismans in the boat were burned wildly.
Xu Dao looked around and found that he had only reached about the third level of the sky. The next time he climbed to the sky, he had to rely on the power of the treasure ship to climb higher.
With a pinch of his magic technique, the Star Snail Treasure Ship immediately straightened its body and rushed straight up.
Whoosh! One after another strong wind blows from all sides of the hull, endlessly.
The treasure ship, which is dozens of feet long, is like a small fish swimming upstream, crossing the sky one after another.
