Chapter 522: Want to refine the Soaring Snake Deduction
On the sea, the Platinum Island fleet confronted the defecting ships.
When the defecting Taoist priests saw that Xu Dao had entered the cabin without ending, the look of horror on their faces slightly faded, and they began to think of resisting.
But such trivial matters have nothing to do with Xu Dao.
The fleet had four boats, eight Taoist priests, and a foundation-building beast controlled by Xu Dao, while the defecting side only had one boat and three Taoist priests.
There is a huge disparity in strength between the two, and the latter is already unable to escape.
Besides, if Xu Dao needs to handle such chores personally, then what's the use of Xu Dao asking Jin Shisan and others to go to sea with him?
In the cabin.
Xu Dao sat cross-legged, with hundreds of runes flashing around him, like stars hovering.
He held his hands in front of him and concentrated on the natal talisman suspended in his hands. Its shape shrunk and was trembling slightly. It had strands of golden light and seemed to be woven from gold.
Recalling the scene where he had just used his natal talisman, Xu Dao's brows wrinkled and relaxed.
After discovering that Qing Jing Pian could be used externally, he immediately realized that his trick would definitely be of great use in the West Sea. It was even possible that he could even test the golden elixir ferocious beast.
Of course, he could only think about testing the ferocious golden elixir beast in his mind at most, and it was impossible to actually do such a dangerous thing unless it was absolutely necessary.
Xu Dao studied the talisman of his life and thought: "The ferocious beasts in the West Sea are all ignorant and are constantly polluted by evil spirits, and my Quiet Chapter just restrains this situation. After the test just now, I can easily be besieged by ferocious beasts again in the future.
The looseness enlightens the ferocious beast and escapes from its trap."
But what makes him regretful is that in the experiment just now, he was only able to enlighten the ferocious beast, but not enough to convert it.
Only with the former, then he can only protect himself. Only with the latter, can he not only protect himself, but also be able to take advantage of vicious beasts for his own use.
Obviously, the latter is what Xu Dao is looking forward to most.
He sighed slightly, remembered all the experience of casting the spell just now, and then opened his eyes.
Xu Dao stretched out his hand, and suddenly two objects jumped out from his left and right sleeve pockets, suspended in front of him, and circled around the talisman of destiny.
One of them is in the shape of a square gold foil, and the other is in the shape of a dark cyan bracelet, which is the Duhua Talisman and Soaring Snake Xiaoqing.
The former had no reaction, but the latter, although coiled up like a bracelet, could still squirm slowly, indicating that it was not dead yet.
The Soaring Snake is a variant of the golden elixir, and he was reluctant to kill it. After Xu Dao captured it, he kept it imprisoned and cut off its spiritual energy, interrupting its growth.
Otherwise, if you give it a little more time, it may inadvertently step into the realm of refining monsters, and it will be very easy to become the master.
Xu Dao stared at the Duhua Talisman and Soaring Snake Bracelet with twinkling eyes.
After studying the talisman for more than half a year, he failed to obtain the power of the talisman, which not only made him regretful, but also interrupted one of his plans.
This plan was his attempt to transform the Soaring Snake into oblivion, so that it would completely surrender to him from now on, whether alive or dead.
In this way, even if Soaring Snake grows to the golden elixir realm, the master will still be the master, and the pet beast will still be a pet beast!
It's a pity that Xu Dao's plan has completely come to nothing, and he can't transform Soaring Snake himself.
As for why Xu Dao didn't choose to use the Duhua Talisman to convert the Teng Snake.
First, because the effectiveness of the talisman is limited, it is only equivalent to several spells of Taoist Jin Ou.
However, the Soaring Snake is a variant of the golden elixir. Even if Venerable Golden Ou comes in person, the opponent cannot transform the Soaring Snake into his hands in just three or five strokes. He must go into seclusion and slowly refine it.
The second is that the talisman that is transformed into a talisman is ultimately someone else's talisman.
If Xu Dao uses this talisman to transform Teng She, will Teng She regard him as his master, or will he regard Taoist Master Jin Ou as his real master?
Xu Dao doesn't know this, and he doesn't want to take a gamble.
He looked at the talismans, soaring snakes, and natal talismans suspended in front of him, with a faint look in his eyes:
"In this case, we can only try another method..."
Xu Dao hesitated slightly, but in the end his eyes were firm and he made a decision: "Teng She must be conquered as soon as possible!"
With only one year left to travel, he will reach the White Bone Island. If he can completely conquer the Tengshe on the way, it will not only save him from a big problem, but also give him a lot of help. When the time comes, he will reach the White Bone Island.
Island, he will be more confident.
As for the second method Xu Dao plans to take, it is actually very simple, which is to use all possible means to refine the Soaring Snake into his natal talisman!
This method is not Xu Dao's pure whim.
The beauty of "Xiaodong Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman" is that you can practice magic with the help of monsters and spiritual objects. If you want to practice fire magic, you can kill fire monsters, or sacrifice spiritual fire and imprint it with spirituality.
In the natal talisman.
When a practitioner obtains his spirituality, he can increase his understanding of fire magic. He can even store the plundered spirituality in his natal talisman. When fighting, he can consume his spirituality to increase the power of the fire magic!
This move is quite in line with the magic of "cultivating the truth through falsehood". Taoists learn it and can speed up the progress of magic practice. It is similar to the Huang Tianlu in Xu Dao's hand, but it has many limitations and is not as powerful as the real treasure.
one part.
What Xu Dao planned was to completely refine the Teng She into his natal talisman and seize its spirituality for his own use!
Compared with the Duhua Teng Snake, this move will first consume the object. Secondly, Xu Dao also doesn't know how much spirituality he can capture.
Moreover, Teng Snake's heels are extraordinary and are a variant of the golden elixir, and he Xu is just a foundation-building Taoist priest. Whether he can succeed is another matter.
And once he fails, his losses will be huge, which is equivalent to losing a future golden elixir helper, which is still a second-grade golden elixir!
But now that the matter has come to this, Xu Dao has only this method that can completely take Teng She for his own use without leaving any future troubles and extracting the maximum value. This is the only way he can do it.
Of course, if possible, Xu Dao hopes to preserve the spirit of Teng She as much as possible during the refining process.
This will not only allow him to get the maximum benefit and borrow the opponent's demonic energy. It is also possible that Teng She will retain his intelligence and growth, just like a refined magic weapon.
Thinking about this, Xu Dao suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Refining magic weapon?"
He thought about it and suddenly realized that the essence of the contracted pet beast and the refined magic weapon are exactly the same. They are both subduing foreign objects for their own use.
Xu Dao's thoughts were wandering, and he suddenly drifted to the various methods of sacrificial and refining magic weapons.
Inferior sacrificial techniques allow Taoists to use magic weapons, but will cause damage to them; medium sacrificial techniques allow Taoists to use magic weapons without damaging the value and power of the magic weapons; as for superior ones,
By refining the magic formula, you can not only use the magic weapon, but also warm it and improve its grade.
The techniques in Xu Dao's hands regarding the sacrifice of the star snail treasure ship and the cuttlefish sword are all of the highest quality.
It's just that both methods can only be used on matching magic weapons. If they are used on other magic weapons, either the effect will be greatly reduced, they can be used but cannot be warmed, or they cannot be refined at all.
With his mind open, Xu Dao secretly thought: "So is there a sacrificial refining technique that can refine all kinds of magical weapons for personal use, and can also warm and nourish the magical weapons and improve their quality and spirituality?"
He has never heard of this "universal sacrificial refining method".
But Xu Daoxuan thought about it and thought that there might be, or should be, such a sacrificial refining technique in the world.
There were two major examples before him. One was the visualization method used by Taoists.
For example, the concept of Immortal Dao can be adapted to thousands of Immortal Dao practitioners. Regardless of gender, age, or level, everyone can practice it, but the effects they can obtain are different for each person.
The principle behind increasing a Taoist's magic power and improving a Taoist's realm is exactly the same as the principle of nourishing and cultivating magic weapons.
The founding of Jianxianyiyi is the proof!
The second example is the "Little Cave Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman" in Xu Dao's hand.
This talisman can seize the spirituality of foreign objects and use it for one's own use. It is powerful and has no taboo on meat and vegetables. It is not limited to living and dead animals, ordinary and strange objects, and its adaptability is extremely wide. It may be called a semi-finished "everything".
Use the sacrificial refining method.”
Xu Dao's current idea is to develop this talisman from a semi-finished product to a finished product based on it!
Such a train of thought was born in his mind, which immediately made him excited and full of expectation.
"If the "Little Cave Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman" can go further, even if it cannot achieve what I want, the possibility of using it to refine the Soaring Snake will be greater."
Xu Dao immediately became interested in deducing the talismans.
If other people had this idea, they might not have the confidence. But he is different. He has practiced hundreds of spells, and he has studied them all to perfection. With Huang Tianzhen in hand, practicing the spells is extremely simple.
What's more, Xu Dao's Qingjing chapter contemplation method was obtained by his own research, and he is no stranger to deducing Dharma formulas.
And unlike the concept of the Qing Jing chapter, he no longer needs to complete it word by word from beginning to end. The talisman itself already has a foundation, and the main type of talisman he needs to refine has also been determined - the magic weapon sacrifice.
Alchemy.
In this way, Xu Dao does not need to spend a lot of effort and resources.
His thoughts became even more agitated:
"The "Xiaodong Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman" was originally repaired by Taoist Tianshu from the fragments. Although it is a golden elixir magic formula, it still has some imperfections. I should have continued to work on it based on it.
Repair, smelt, and develop efficacy.”
After thinking for a moment, his eyes refocused: "I've done it!"
Whoosh!
Xu Dao immediately put the square talisman and the soaring snake into his sleeves respectively, and made his natal talisman shine brightly, and the runes on it flickered one by one.
He took out a sacrificial refining technique from his sleeve pocket and lowered his head to study it carefully.
This sacrificial refining method is the "Taibai West Golden Sword Pill Method". This method is also a golden elixir method. It is just that the last step is missing and there are no specific elixir-forming steps. However, its elixir-forming potential is still there, and it is the most powerful one in his hands.
Magical weapon ritual refining method.
Although he had already learned the Jianwan Technique, at this time, he looked at the Jianwan Technique from the perspective of talismans. After verifying it word by word, he suddenly drew parallels and came up with many ideas.
Boom!
While Xu Dao was concentrating on trying to figure out the magic formula, there was a loud sound outside the cabin, making the entire ship he was on shake.
It was the three Taoist priests who did not want to be captured without restraint, and had already started fighting with Jin Shisan and others, using all their methods.
Those three people were not fools. They had been prepared for failure early in the morning and waited for work. Instead of falling into a disadvantage immediately, they successfully killed the octopus beast that Xu Dao had transformed.
The three Taoist priests also wanted to take advantage of Xu Dao's inattention and sneak away in the boat again. Fortunately, Jin Shisan and others were not useless. They were decisive and would rather break the boat than capture and kill the three of them.
So after a fight, the defecting Taoist priests had to abandon the ship and all the tribesmen on the ship, and planned to disperse and flee.
You come and go, Jin Shisan and others fight fiercely in the cabin, with bloody heads and wounds. There are even more casualties than when the ferocious beasts surrounded them.
These movements naturally reached Xu Dao's ears, but he still immersed himself in studying the techniques and did not pay attention to them. He had quite the temperament of a bright head but a poor reader.
When the movement outside the cabin gradually calmed down, there was a gentle knock on the door.
The cabin door opened, and a figure appeared: "Taoist Master, the traitors have been suppressed, kill two and capture one!"
The person who came was Jin Shisan, who was half-kneeling on the ground. The demon body had not completely dissipated, and there was a lot of evil energy on his body.
Gulu's voice sounded at the cabin door, and two unwilling heads were rolling on the deck.
One of them was deflated, like a dwarf Japanese melon, with splashes of red and white; the other had blood holes in its eye sockets, a hideous face, and even its scalp was missing. Both of them were tragic!
When Xu Dao heard the knock on the door, he raised his head and glanced at the two heads. He was not interested in the battle situation outside, he only cared about whether the monastic supplies in the ship had been recaptured.
However, Jin Shisan arrived just in time. Xu Dao lowered his head and said:
"Take away the heads and bring over the ferocious beasts and the demonic bodies of the traitors."
When deducing talismans, it is time to consume a lot of spiritual materials. Although the corpse of a ferocious beast is not suitable for refining elixirs and medicines, and the evil spirit is difficult to remove, Huang Tianzhen's teeth are good and he does not avoid meat and vegetables, so it can be used.
The two Taoist priests who died were both martial arts practitioners. Except for the human heads, the remaining bodies were revealed after death and turned into monster bodies. They were inhuman, but had amazing energy and blood, and could also be used as materials.
When Jin Shisan heard the order, he immediately nodded: "Yes."
Not long after, pieces of corpses of ferocious beasts, like huge fish bones on a plate, were delivered to Xu Dao's room for Xu Dao's use.
With the new foundation-building spiritual materials, Xu Dao can understand the foundation-building techniques on Platinum Island and use them to deduce the talismans.
There was a lot of excitement outside the cabin. After finishing the battle, Jin Shisan and others continued to seize the time to clean up the mess and clean up the battlefield. When the first officer was done, the entire fleet gathered again and sailed towards White Bone Island without any deviation.
time flies.
One month later, the fleet encountered a storm, but luckily nothing happened.
Three months passed, and the fleet encountered other ships on the way. There were some transactions or disputes, but nothing major happened.
More than half a year has passed.
Xu Dao had spent his resources in vain, but he had gained quite a lot by deducing the talismans, and he only had a few months left to travel to the Bone Island.
