Chapter 55: The Jade Hook to Restrain the Interest
In the days that followed, Xu Dao trained Nanke Pingying while practicing.
Among them, the half-finger jade hook obtained from the sarcophagus has a gray surface, pale color, and looks like bone and jade, which is nothing surprising.
Xu Dao cautiously injected Qi into it, but found that there was no change in the object. Except for the two characters engraved on the surface, there was nothing else hidden inside.
This made him think that this thing was just a mortal thing, and at most it had a symbolic function as stated in the suicide note and could prove the identity of the person holding the hook.
But once when I was meditating and refining my Qi, this thing revealed something magical.
Xu Dao sat down cross-legged as usual. He had just imagined the talisman of breathing out in his mind, arousing his spiritual energy. His mind was extremely clear, and distracting thoughts disappeared instantly, faster than before.
If you are an ordinary Taoist, you may think that you are just in good condition, but Xu Dao has practiced several mind-clearing and calming spells and is extremely sensitive to changes in mood and mental state.
After practicing for a while, he confirmed that it was not an illusion. Xu Dao immediately stopped practicing. He groped around his body and took out the jade hook from his sleeve.
At this time, the hook no longer looks gray, and its whole body emits a silvery white light, like milk, and extremely warm.
The silver light flickered slowly, but miraculously, Xu Dao did not find any spiritual energy fluctuations on this object.
He held the jade hook in his hand, and suddenly he felt that the energy in his body had dropped, and the fluctuations of his true energy had weakened, as if he had turned into a stone.
But the true energy in Xu Dao's body was clearly still flowing, and the vast water continued to wash away his soul and body.
"This is!" Xu Dao was shocked in his heart, "Can it cover Qi and conceal its effects?"
He lowered his head to look at the jade hook in his hand and thought to himself: "Is it a magic weapon?"
However, Xu Dao rubbed the jade hook in his hand and injected his true energy again. He still found that the jade hook had not been touched. There were no restrictions or runes inside, and it was more like a mortal object.
This did not disappoint him, but made him even more surprised.
This material, without being refined, can have the effect of suppressing the mind and blocking the energy. It is mostly a spiritual material that self-obstructs, and it is a rare spiritual material.
Whether it is used to draw talismans or refine magic weapons, it is of great use!
But Xu Dao thought over and over again and racked his brains to recall the Taoist books he had read, but he still couldn't remember what the specific material of the jade hook was.
"That's all." He thought to himself that since the jade hook had fallen into his hands and became his property, he would have plenty of time to identify it.
The most urgent task is to first figure out how to use this thing.
Xu Dao became interested. He tried many times and found that although the jade hook could not be stimulated with real energy, when the concentration of spiritual energy around the jade hook reached a certain level, the object's effect of suppressing the mind and blocking the energy would be stimulated, along with the grip.
If you live in its many ways, your mind and energy will be as immovable as a stone.
This surprised Xu Dao. He drew out the spiritual energy from the talisman money, covered the jade hook, and made it work.
Or simply draw runes and patterns on the surface of the jade hook, so that it can accumulate the infuriating energy he inputs around it, and continuously nourish the jade hook like spiritual energy.
The latter method is already the way to refine magic weapons, just like how Xu Dao drew formations inside and outside the sword box, using it to restrain evil spirits and shoot flying swords to kill demons.
It's just that magical weapons are rare, and the techniques for refining them are also rare. Xu Dao has never actually refined a genuine magical weapon.
But not only did he master a formation, he had repaired the spirit-gathering formation, he also happened to stay in Fuyuan for ten days before entering Baimaofeng Cave. He had both practice and theory, so he should be able to give it a try.
He did it as soon as he thought of it. Xu Dao held the jade hook and calmed down the joy in his heart. He thought carefully and decided to use the jade hook as a talisman paper and draw it into a talisman according to the way of drawing talisman.
The jade hook is magical and is not an ancestral possession of Xu Dao. He can boldly paint on it.
Immediately, he suppressed his mind and tried it directly in the cave.
The next few days.
Apart from Xu Dao's cultivation, in addition to continuing to raise Nan Ke Pongflies, he was pondering jade hooks in the cave and trying every means to use them for his own purposes.
Fortunately, although he had never learned to refine weapons, the principles of painting, talisman arrays, and weapons were similar. After Xu Dao tried thousands of times, he successfully drew several combinations of runes on the jade hook, making it
After he inputs the true energy, the miraculous effect of the jade hook can be stimulated, helping him stabilize his mind and mask the effects of the energy machine.
With this jade hook, Xu Dao will have a much higher chance of success than ordinary Taoists when going down the mountain, whether he is actively ambushing others, or hiding his traces and trying to escape.
After combing through it carefully, he found that he already had the Evil Spirit Sword Box as his trump card, the Jade Hook to conceal his traces, the Nanke Pingfly as his trump card for detecting enemies, and he also learned the killing techniques, divine movement techniques, and self-protection techniques...
Xu Dao is no longer a new Taoist disciple, but a seasoned Taoist disciple who is well-equipped and difficult to kill.
If he is a powerful enemy, especially a monster enemy like a bird, even if he can't parry it for a moment, he can still kill the opponent through maneuvers.
After all, ordinary monsters cannot be as rich in means as Taoists, who can advance, retreat and fight.
For a moment, Xu Dao felt happy.
Moreover, the act of refining the breath-containing jade hook was different from his previous talisman formation.
Xu Dao did not refer to the specific techniques for this move. He simply made it by combining the runes himself. It can be regarded as applying the principles of the runes instead of copying them mechanically.
This allowed him to gain a lot from the talisman.
One act of being punished and imprisoned actually made Xu Dao achieve great success. I'm afraid everyone in the audience couldn't imagine this situation.
…
After that, Xu Dao's life trajectory did not change much.
Perhaps because the old ant nest was destroyed by Xu Dao, the situation in Baimaofeng Cave has improved. Although the wind is still blowing non-stop, it rarely lasts for more than one day in a row.
Therefore, Xu Daolian's only job was relieved a lot. Apart from occasionally returning to the ground, he mostly stayed in the cracks to meditate and practice.
This is a genuine retreat, not a prison sentence.
If he has free time, Xu Dao will continue to raise Gu insects and explore the surrounding areas with the ant colonies generated by the differentiation of Nan Ke worm flies.
But apart from discovering a lot of evil spirits and poisonous things in the cave, he did not gain any other benefits.
Fortunately, poisonous things also have effects. Xu Dao can extract the poison according to the practice method of "Five Poisons to Kill Demons" and use it to increase the power of the spell, or to raise a group of poisonous ants for later use.
The only thing that really disappointed Xu Dao was.
Before entering the Baimaofeng Cave, he heard that there might be evil spirits in the cave, so he was so cautious that even the Yin God did not dare to wander around.
But when he refined the Yin Gu and was able to control the Gu insects to explore, he did not find the so-called evil energy, and even the numerous bones in the rumors were not found.
Such a large cave is like a vast white land, extremely clean.
Time passed, and before he knew it, he had stayed in Baimaofeng Cave for nearly two years.
Xu Dao would occasionally think of the hints given to him by Taoist Mo Wen before he entered the cave, which made him pack his belongings in advance every three months when he met the Taoist boy in preparation for leaving the cave.
But seeing that there was still no news or news, Xu Dao was not impatient.
