When Xu Dao said such words in the hall, all the Taoist priests of the Jin family were startled.
Jin Shidian was sitting on the front seat, with no expression on Guo Zi's face, but his eyes were slightly narrowed. The female Taoist priest frowned, staring at Xu Dao closely, with a flashing look on her face.
The other Taoist priests who attended the meeting did not hide their surprise and confusion. Immediately there were shouts in the audience: "Hey! Is Taoist Brother Jinqiang an acquaintance of mine on Platinum Island? Which elder is he a good friend of?"
"Today we are the only ones who have free time to come to the hall to discuss matters. Perhaps the other elders who did not come have friendships with fellow Taoist Golden Gun."
Listening to the words of the elders in the hall, Jinshidian also said to Xu Dao: "Is fellow Taoist Jinqiang a close friend of any of my elders on Platinum Island? Fellow Taoist, please tell me. I will have someone report it right now."
Elder, please come over."
The man chuckled and said, "There are elders who vouch for fellow Taoist, so of course you will be a distinguished guest of my Platinum Island." He also glanced at the female Taoist priest next to him.
The female Taoist priest frowned, snorted coldly, and narrowed her eyes, looking up and down at Xu Dao's figure and appearance, wondering what was going on in her mind.
Xu Dao saluted everyone, but shook his head: "No. It's not that Pindao has an old relationship with the elders of Guidao."
These words made the Jin family Taoist priest present slightly startled again, but Xu Dao did not deliberately show off. He took his right hand out of his sleeve, and then in front of everyone, he gently pinched a few magic formulas on his hand.
Zheng! A little bit of starlight suddenly lit up in the lobby. Its color was pure white, which made people's eyes dazzle. Xu Dao urged his magic power again, and the number of starlight doubled and spread around him, forming a sparse and colorful formation.
Current starry sky map.
"This is??"
The Taoist priests of the Jin family in the hall were all discerning people. They were all shocked when they looked at Xu Dao's spells. Because the starry sky pattern created by Xu Dao's spells was strikingly similar to the pyramid layout on their island.
"Is this a map of my Platinum Island?"
Seeing everyone's surprise, Xu Dao explained with a smile: "This spell is called 'Little Star Arrangement'. Unfortunately, Pindao is a martial arts practitioner and is not good at practicing immortal spells. He can only use his true energy to barely achieve his appearance.
But it’s just that it’s not like God.”
He held up his hands and said, "I hope all fellow Taoists can recognize this spell."
After listening to Xu Dao's performance and explanation, whether it was the Jinshi Temple or the female Taoist priest, all the Jin family Taoist priests' eyes changed drastically. They did not rush to talk to Xu Dao, but released their spiritual consciousness and started discussing eagerly.
After six or seven breaths, at the speed at which Jiji Taoist priests' spiritual consciousness was active, the content of the Jin family's Taoist priests' conversation with each other could reach up to ten thousand words.
After some anxious discussion, Jin Shidian spoke in a calm voice: "This method is indeed old to my Platinum Island. It seems that Taoist Master Jin Qiang is really an old friend of my Platinum Island."
As the man spoke, he changed the subject and suddenly asked Xu: "This method is the secret method passed down by me on Platinum Island. I wonder who your master is? We can check which deceased elder it is."
When Xu Dao heard this, he had a look of doubt on his face and replied: "Master? The poor master is not from Platinum Island."
He paused and said carefully: "This method is not inherited from Pindao's master, but Pindao is a magic passed down from our ancestors. According to our ancestors, our clan and the Jin family in Guidao actually come from the same Taoist tradition."
pulse."
"It's a pity that after hundreds of years, our clan's population has been thin and has long since declined. I don't even know what happened to my ancestors. I just inherited a little inheritance from my fathers."
Xu Dao had a sad and bitter smile on his face. But in fact, he was sneering in his heart, thinking that Jinshidian was using words to deceive him.
According to his understanding, Baijin Island is more closed than ordinary islands. The Taoist priests on the island are quite xenophobic and united, and they also have the idea that their homeland is difficult to leave. When Taoists die, they hope to be buried on Baijin Island, not
die abroad.
The more than one hundred pyramids on Platinum Island are actually piles of tombs.
Among them, the foundation-building Taoist priests can enjoy a pyramid alone, while the Jin family Taoist disciples, Taoist boys, etc. can only enjoy the treatment of an earthen jar. They are cremated and placed in the jar, and then placed in large and small pyramids, protecting them like god cards.
The whole island.
It is difficult for a Taoist priest of the Jin family who was born in such an environment to pass on the family inheritance to people outside the island. Even if he is an outsider, Xu Dao believes that he will probably ask his descendants to pack up his bones and move them back to Baijin Island for burial.
.
Therefore, if Xu Dao had just followed the other party's advice and made up an identity for himself as a descendant of Platinum Island, then he would most likely arouse the suspicion of the Taoist priests of the Jin family and question his evil intentions.
Fortunately, Xu Dao did not follow the other party's words. Instead, he started from the fact that the Jin family was a branch of Fanxing Island, compared his background with the Jin family, and deliberately made it unclear.
Sure enough, when Jinshidian and other Taoist priests heard Xu Dao's explanation, the look of surprise on their faces suddenly diminished a lot. Even the female Taoist priest who had a bad attitude towards Xu Dao also relaxed a lot.
The people present were all Taoist priests from the Jin family, and they knew a bit about their family's origins and history. They also knew that their ancestors were once Taoist priests who almost broke through to the pill formation.
Although the ancestor did not successfully break through to the pill formation, the ancestor's powerful magic power, coupled with the help of many Taoist priests who were suspected of being from the same sect, easily occupied Platinum Island and left this inheritance for future generations.
It's just that the ancestors of Baijin Island deliberately concealed these things, and too much time passed. The Taoist priests of the Jin family only knew that there was such a thing, but the specific past was not clear.
Now that they received Xu Dao's reminder, they suddenly remembered this incident.
Jinshidian stared closely at the starlight that appeared around Xu Dao, and laughed and said: "I see, that's it, our ancestors are all from the same lineage!"
This person stopped discussing with other Taoist priests, waved his hand, and decided: "In this case, I would like to ask fellow Taoist Jinqiang to stay on the island, and let us take care of you and treat you as a distinguished guest."
The other Taoist priests no longer had any objection, either remained silent, or nodded while staring closely at Xu Dao's "small star formation".
The female Taoist priest among them was silent, her eyes all focused on Xu Dao. She didn't look away until someone started talking again in the hall.
It was Jinshidian who was asking the female Taoist priest: "Fellow Taoist Jinqiang has proven that he is an old member of my Jin family. Does the Thirteenth Elder still want to expel him?"
The female Taoist priest frowned again, but gritted her teeth and stared at Jinshidian and Xu Dao several times with anger, not knowing what she was thinking.
The female Taoist priest snorted coldly, and did not argue again this time. She nodded to the Taoist priests in the hall, turned her back, and strode out of the hall.
Whoosh! His figure flickered, his energy and blood surged, and he disappeared from everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.
After the female Taoist priest left, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Dao again, and everyone showed welcoming expressions and smiling faces.
Xu Dao was not surprised by this result.
The technique of "small star formation" is one of the most powerful formation techniques in the Star Tradition, second only to the Eternal Star Formation.
Once a Taoist successfully arranges this formation around his body, he can not only form a barrier when fighting with others to block the enemy's attacks from the outside world, but also absorb the enemy's true energy during the fight, reduce the enemy's mana, and contribute to Fanxing Island.
Taoist priests fight with people.
Now that Xu Dao had used the formation, the Taoist priest of the Jin family immediately recognized Xu Dao. In fact, more importantly, there was no practice method related to the formation on Baijin Island for the spell that Xu Dao had used.
Once Xu Dao joins Platinum Island, most of the magic in his hands will be spread into the Jin family's magic library for the Jin family to practice.
After all, as Xu Dao claimed, he was a martial artist who was not very good at formations, and what he showed was really just superficial. So if Xu Dao didn't want to cut off the spells of his "ancestors", he would have to pass on the spells.
, a monk from the Jin family who is of the same lineage is the best candidate.
Facing the new spells, the Taoist priests could no longer resist. They also suspected that Xu Dao actually had more similar spells in his hands, or even a Taoist lineage.
In fact, Xu Dao is like this.
In addition to the "Small Star Arrangement", Xu Dao obtained another formation in Tianji Cave, called the "Small Dou Zhuan Star Shifting Formation", which can transfer the enemy's spells away during the battle without leaving a single leaf on his body.
Let the enemy waste mana in vain.
In addition, the Eternal Stars Formation in Xu Dao's hand is even more related to Platinum Island, but this formation is the top priority of Stars Island. If he throws it out easily, it may not attract covetousness.
Instead, it will be a violent fight, or even a fatal disaster.
Something like the "little star-studded formation" can attract the Taoist priests of the Jin family without making it appear that what Xu Dao is holding is too good. It is suitable for the Taoist priests of the Jin family to slowly win over Xu Dao.
Loud laughter rang out in the hall: "Welcome Taoist Fellow Golden Gun to the island. We will hold a big banquet on the island today so that all the members of the Jin family will know about such good things!"
The second elder, Jin Shidian, was laughing, and the other Taoist priests of the Jin family next to him also echoed: "That's right! The West Sea is currently in turmoil. If our Platinum Island can get Taoist fellows from the Golden Gun to join us, the strength of the island will be greatly increased!"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was harmonious, Xu Dao also smiled and looked happy. He cupped his hands and said, "It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask my ears."
The group of people chatted in the hall for another quarter of an hour. During this time, the Jinshi Palace played several talismans, which turned into transmission talismans to notify other Taoist priests and Taoists on the island.
In less than half a day, most of Platinum Island knew that a foundation-building Taoist priest had landed on the island and wanted to join Platinum Island.
The Taoist priest in charge of the banquet immediately took his place and placed copper tripods, stoves and other utensils in front of the largest pyramids on the island, as well as tables, chairs, and cups.
The Taoists had magic to light fires, some to slaughter, and some to sweep. At noon, the banquet was already prepared, and a few Taoist priests who were still in retreat or had something to do also came.
Xu Dao counted and asked again, and found that there were seventeen foundation-building Taoist priests on Baijin Island, twelve of whom were the twelve elders of the Jin family. The other five were the elders of Keqing, or alone.
Or the elder of a small family on the island.
However, Xu Dao suspected that there were secret foundation-building elders on Baijin Island, hiding their secret power as the island's secret power, and keeping it secret from the public.
He had just arrived, and although he had a relationship with Platinum Island, and the other party also coveted the formation inheritance in his hands, he was not yet a member of Platinum Island, and he had to get to know him slowly to know this.
The banquet prepared for Xu Dao was a flowing banquet, which was served from noon to evening, and the wine continued.
In the meantime, Jin Shidian and others were also constantly making insinuations, and tried to get Xu Dao drunk and make Xu Dao speak the truth after drinking, but Xu Dao dealt with them one by one without revealing any flaws.
When the moon was in the middle of the sky and the lights were brightly lit, there were still Taoist priests coming from the island to congratulate Xu Dao.
Judging from this banquet alone, it can be said that the Jin family treated Xu Dao very politely. Even the five guest elders had objections. It seemed that they had never received such a big banquet when they joined Platinum Island.
After all the people who should be seen were met and all the questions were asked, Jin Shidian and others saw that they could not get any more information from Xu Dao, so they had no choice but to let Xu Dao go for the time being and investigate again later. Anyway, there is a long way to go.
.
Xu Dao also took the opportunity to say goodbye, left the banquet, and drunkenly wandered to the spiritual residence prepared for himself.
This spiritual residence is located near the banquet. It is quite spacious and has been donated to Xu Dao.
In the middle of the night, Xu Dao didn't have time to inspect, so he walked straight into the quiet room with spiritual energy, hung up a "Do Not Disturb" sign, and sealed the quiet room formation.
Staying in the unfamiliar quiet room, most of the drunken expression on Xu Dao's face immediately disappeared. His face darkened, he crossed his legs on the ground, and slowly breathed out the spiritual energy in the quiet room, refining the wine in his belly.
Jinshidian and others have made a heavy investment. The wine they prepared for the banquet was of the highest quality, strong enough, and specially brewed for the foundation-building monks. Even Xu Dao was affected by it, and it was rare for him to get drunk.
Fortunately, he was just drunk, and it was not enough to make him unconscious. If that were the case, the drink would be poison, and Xu Dao would not drink it stupidly.
When he had the time, he sat down to meditate and adjust his breath. In just a moment, Xu Dao refined the alcohol in his body, and expelled the alcohol that could not be refined from his body.
Opening his eyes, he breathed a long sigh of relief, his eyes became clear again, "Huh..."
Xu Dao looked at the quiet room and found that the quiet room was beautifully decorated with many jades, porcelain, screens and futons. There was also a large bronze and iron cauldron in the middle, which was two people tall. Although it was not a foundation-building instrument,
But it is also convenient for his daily use.
Xu Dao's eyes fell on the big copper and iron cauldron, and his eyebrows suddenly raised: "Huh?"
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the cauldron with great interest. Then he nodded and said, "Did the poor Taoist go to the wrong cave? Which Taoist friend is practicing in the cauldron?"
Bang! As soon as Xu Dao finished speaking, the big copper-iron cauldron rang, and the top cover opened, revealing a trace of white air, as if a panacea was about to be born.
But what rose from it immediately was not the elixir, but a white jade beauty holding her fingers and smiling.
The beauty wears thin clothes and accessories, is bare-chested and bare-legged, and has a fair and beautiful figure.
She lowered her eyes and exhaled:
"It's not that my Taoist friend went to the wrong cave, but that this poor Taoist has been waiting for a long time and came here to offer a congratulatory gift to my Taoist friend." His voice was gentle and trembling, and it was quite tempting.
Xu Dao looked at it intently, but his face showed surprise, and he said strangely:
