Chapter 524 Borrowing to reach the White Bone Island
Chapter 524 Borrowing Arrival at Bone Island
The "Xiaodong Xuanyun Forbidden Sacrifice Refining True Talismans" obtained through Xu Dao's deduction has been further improved on the original basis.
The original talisman can only use the spirituality of external objects to practice spells or enhance the power of spells, but the ritual talisman is different, it can directly borrow the ability of the external object itself.
In this way, by refining the Soaring Snake into the natal talisman, you can already use its power of "flying in the air and wandering in the mist".
However, there are several limitations and disadvantages.
The first point is that Teng She does not only have one ability, but after Xu Dao refined it, he could only choose one ability to borrow from Teng She, and after it was determined, he could no longer make changes.
Xu Dao has experimented with other monsters. If he wants to change the borrowed ability, he needs to release the monster that was refined into the talisman first, then re-process it and refine it from scratch.
But the monsters that have been refined into the talisman of life are food that has been eaten, chewed, ground, and digested. It cannot be released alive, and if it is released, it will die.
In addition to being unable to change the borrowed innate abilities, Xu Daomeng also needs to support the Soaring Snake in his natal talisman so that its demonic energy will not wither and its life will not die.
Although Soaring Snake was controlled by him, he might still starve to death of thirst. If Xu Dao squeezed it too much, it might die prematurely.
Once Teng She's lifespan expires, or her spirituality is exhausted, and her life is in danger, Xu Dao will naturally no longer be able to obtain the "flying in the mist" technique from her.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Dao named this wonderful effect of the Talisman "borrowing" rather than robbing it.
And after successfully practicing ordinary spells, the Taoist will only consume the true energy or spiritual energy when using the spell, and will not consume the true energy when not using it. The same is true for magic weapons, which at most need to be warmed and maintained from time to time.
Not much consumption.
However, after Xu Dao borrowed the ability of "Soaring in the Mist", even if he did not use this technique, he would still consume his true energy. If he used it, the consumption of his true energy would be doubled.
And the source of its consumption is the Soaring Snake that he refined into his destiny talisman.
In short, Xu Dao refined the Soaring Snake with the help of talismans. In fact, it was like making a cage to imprison the Soaring Snake in his body, and providing him with good food and water every day. It was similar to raising exotic animals.
Taoist soldiers.
If he doesn't give it to him for one day, Teng She will starve for a day. If he doesn't give it to him for many days, the other party will fall into a deep sleep, and he won't be able to borrow his abilities until the other party dies of hunger and thirst.
This situation is similar to raising Taoist soldiers. When deducing the talismans, Xu Dao happened to also rely on the Taoist training method of Platinum Island, so that he could truly successfully deduce the talismans.
Fortunately, this flaw is actually a happy trouble. After all, there are gains and losses. If he thinks that the support is too expensive and cannot afford it, Xu Dao can also choose to kill the Tengshe on his own initiative to save food rations.
In addition to the above two major restrictions, Xu Dao cannot refine other monsters after refining the Soaring Snake.
At the same time, he can currently only refine one foreign object.
And after refining the monster, depending on the strength of the monster, it will also put a burden on Xu Dao's soul and body. If Soaring Snake has grown to the golden elixir realm in advance, even if the opponent abandons himself, Xu Dao may not be able to refine it...
The initial successful derivation of the sacrificial talisman method actually has many limitations and is not satisfactory.
Hao Xudao is proficient in various methods and has Huang Tianzhen in his hand. He doesn't want to stop there. He hopes to refine the talismans more and change the magic of "borrowing" to the magic of "plundering", thereby eliminating the need for day and night support.
fee.
Even rough "plundering" is not enough. In Xu Dao's conception, after the ritual talisman is completed, the innate abilities obtained by plundering should not be controlled by the original owner himself and cannot be improved.
But it should be able to continue to grow and retain a certain degree of growth. Only in this way can it suit his wishes.
Of course, if you want to deduce such a powerful magic method, it will definitely not be completed in a short time. Let alone half a year, it may be ten years or a hundred years, and he will not be able to deduce Xiaocheng's talismans to a medium level.
It is enough to plunder.
In the cabin.
The thoughts in Xu Dao's mind went back and forth: "It seems that we have to collect as many methods as possible related to talismans. No, not just talismans, but other methods such as ritual weapon refining methods, Taoist soldier raising methods, and formation methods.
Wait, we also need to collect them together."
"The reason why I was able to successfully deduce the ritual talisman within one year is based on hundreds of past spells, as well as the Xuanzhen Sect's Taoist tradition and the Fanxing Island Taoist tradition."
If there is no long-term accumulation, even with Huang Tianzhen in hand, Xu Dao can at most repair the "Xiaodong Xuanyun Forbidden True Talisman" on the basis of Tianshu Taoist priest and make up for the shortcomings left by the other party.
place, and it is impossible to deduce a new talisman.
It has nothing to do with whether you are amazingly talented or not, but whether you have a deep accumulation and whether you have the goods in your stomach. Deducing Taoism is not just a matter of imagination.
For a moment, Xu Dao looked at the snowy scene outside the window, with excitement rising in his eyes.
In the past, he mainly focused on collecting Qingxin Jingqi spells and high-level cultivation techniques. From now on, he will learn all kinds of Taoist traditions, elixirs, formations, weapons, weapons and other skills, no matter how high or low they are.
No, everyone will be welcome.
Only by continuing to accumulate in this way, can he possibly develop the ritual talisman to perfection.
Faintly, Xu Dao felt that this talisman technique would be the technique he would rely on most in the future after the Contemplation Method in the Qing Jing Chapter. Or to be precise, the Contemplation Method in the Qing Jing Chapter was just the first part of the Sacrifice Talisman Technique.
It is very likely that after he formed elixirs, became a real person, a ghost, an immortal, or even immortal, all his hopes fell on this talisman.
Beside the window.
Jin Shisan saw the hot look in Xu Dao's eyes, and subconsciously thought that Xu Dao was getting interested again. So she pressed the table, slowly stood up from the futon, and folded her beige underwear.
The robe is loose, easy to open, and can hide things.
"Master Golden Gun." Jin Shisan swayed and sat next to Xu Dao, nodding and lowering his eyebrows, looking very charming.
Xu Dao noticed Jin Shisan's movements, and he only looked at each other and understood.
He withdrew his mind from thinking and was not ready to shirk the next good thing. After all, the other party had already changed from hint to explicit. It would really hurt the woman's heart if he shied away from the second show of kindness.
.
Xu Dao chuckled and reached out to lift Jin Shisan's delicate and smooth chin.
………………
As the ship sailed on the icy sea, every ten days it progressed, the snowflakes in the sky would grow larger in a circle.
A month or two later, the fleet encountered an iceberg in the sea. The iceberg that emerged from the water was as big as a ship, and the one underneath was as big as a city.
It was the first time for almost everyone in the fleet to see an iceberg. They had only seen it in books before, so they were particularly curious. They even stayed on purpose and sent people to board the iceberg to explore whether there were precious mineral materials or spiritual flowers on it.
Spiritual grass.
The appearance of the iceberg also means that the fleet is very close to Bone Island and has almost entered the opponent's sphere of influence.
But when one iceberg after another appeared in front of the fleet, everyone who was originally curious became bored.
Because the appearance of icebergs would cause the fleet to take a detour, and after several trips, everyone in the fleet began to get tired of the icebergs.
At the same time, to the north of the West Sea, the weather is getting colder and colder.
Fortunately, the people who go to sea on Platinum Island are all Taoists, and without exception, they all have zhenqi protection. Otherwise, just the cold weather can reduce the number of the fleet by half.
But in the last stretch of the journey, the five ships still set up a formation to protect the ships.
The severe cold has affected the behavior of the Taoist disciples on the ship. In order to prevent the speed of the fleet from slowing down, they had to activate the formation. And after activating the formation, the fleet's defense was greatly increased, which could also reduce the risks in the last stretch of the journey.
Xu Dao stayed in the fleet, and as the arrival date approached, he completely ended his retreat.
In addition to his daily spiritual practice, he would go out for a walk every day, and from time to time he would wander around the fleet to see if there were other caravans.
Not to mention, he actually met a lot of ships coming and going. They were all like the fleet from Platinum Island, with clear goals and pointing straight in one direction. They were obviously White Bone Island.
Among them, the largest fleet had more ships than the White Bone Island fleet. Xu Dao even saw a Lian Gang-level treasure ship. It was tall and majestic, and its momentum was comparable to the Star Snail treasure ship in his hand.
The smaller ones are single-person boats, or even only one bamboo raft.
Bamboo rafts are also magical tools. They glide on the ice, automatically without wind, and fly as fast as a shuttle.
The reason why it is on the ice is because the closer you get to the north, not only icebergs form on the sea surface, but also the sea surface is frozen by them.
Xu Dao looked at it and saw that it was all white, as if he had come to a white wasteland instead of a sea.
This made him slightly surprised: "It's already so cold to the north of the West Sea that you can drive carriages and horses on the ice. How cold will it be if you go further north?"
To the north of the West Sea is still the West Sea, and further north there is another sea area called the "North Sea".
Xu Dao thought to himself: "If the climate in the North Sea is even more severe, stretching as far as the eye can see, and the sea water is frozen everywhere, then it will be no different from the land. Instead of calling it a sea, it might as well be called 'Beiyuan'."
Thinking about it, he followed the boats on the road and left after about ten miles without approaching them.
After returning to the Platinum Island fleet, Xu Dao promptly informed them of the freezing situation ahead.
So the five sea-going ships enlarged their formations to the extent that they could break through the ice, turning them into five icebreakers.
When the thickness of the ice became even thicker and it became more and more difficult to break the ice, the fleet simply let the three ships that were too heavy take off and float in the air, while the other two jumped to the ice and stayed on the ice.
slide.
As a result, the fleet's daily consumption of food and supplies has also increased, making Jin Shisan, as the island owner and ship owner, worried about the fleet's money and food situation every day.
Fortunately, they did not fly for too long. In just eight or nine days, a majestic and tall iceberg appeared in front of them.
Icebergs are stuck in the white wasteland, standing like spines.
When the sky clears and there are no snowflakes, the iceberg will reveal a glaze-like light, with clear layers, like jade, and golden. It stands tall, like a lighthouse, guiding the surroundings.
Xu Dao saw the iceberg immediately, and his eyes moved upward as the iceberg penetrated the clouds.
There was a look of anticipation and relief in his eyes, he opened his mouth slightly and muttered silently: "Is this the White Bone Mountain..."
"Look!" The rest of the people on the fleet were not as quiet as him, and immediately someone shouted: "It's coming!"
"That's Bone Island! We're here!"
Some Taoist priests were speechless: "The surrounding area is frozen, and the White Bone Island is almost like a country on land. Such a large territory is really enviable."
But someone immediately refuted the Taoist priest: "It's freezing here. No matter how big the land is, what's the use of it?"
Many people also realized this and became a little worried: "No wonder White Bone Island has not been visible in recent years, and the Sea Alliance has not paid much attention to it. Such a land is probably too barren. If the spiritual veins on the island are no longer
It’s a bit thinner, not even comparable to the larger Soulless Island.”
Indeed, as these people feared, although the surrounding area was frozen for thousands of miles and the territory was vast, there were only buildings at the foot of the huge iceberg.
The buildings form a city, which spreads outward from the foot of the iceberg, getting lower and lower as it goes outwards, until it is mixed with the ice and it is difficult to distinguish the height.
Xu Dao also thought to himself: "Looking at the size of the city, it seems to be only as big as Jiangzhou City. I wonder how many people it can support... I'm afraid it's not many."
But when they actually arrived near the iceberg, the situation was beyond everyone's expectation.
The entire buildings on White Bone Island are all white and seem to be made of ice and integrated into one.
The city is built like a tower, ring after ring, layer after layer. With such a structure, the number of people that can live in it is ten times or even a hundred times that of an ordinary city.
After the fleet arrived, a Taoist dressed in white robes jumped out. The other person was a person from the Bone City. He used magic to guide everyone to the ferry where the ship was docked.
The ferry is not on the ice, but under the ice. It is dug all the way to the place where the sea water emerges, connecting the sea below. It is covered with a dome, which can not only protect against wind and rain, but also facilitate the berthing of various ships and sea animals.
.
Moreover, the thickness of the ice layer itself is also amazing. Twenty or thirty layers of corridors can be carved out of it, and people walking in it will look like ants scattered up and down.
There were several Taoist priests among the group on Baijin Island who had never seen the world before. They were as eye-opening as the Taoist disciples, and they were astonished as if they were entering the city for the first time.
Xu Dao looked around. Although he was also amazed by the structure of Bone City, what shocked him even more was the living people coming and going in the city.
At a glance, he saw that there was no distinction between ordinary people in his sight. At least 70% of the people had a light yellow aura standing on their heads, solemn and thick!
Xu Dao looked at the central iceberg again. In an instant, his eyes were filled with yellow. He saw that the entire iceberg and the entire city were shrouded in a yellow air, with strands forming a ribbon and falling down in the distance.
He stared blankly, the shock in his eyes faded away, replaced by endless emotion: "Dragon Qi! Yellow Sky Qi."
The entire City of Bones is astonishingly shrouded in the aura of the Yellow Sky. Its aura is so majestic and vast that it is incalculable.
Almost all the people in the city are Huangtian survivors.
