Hearing what You Bing said, Xu Dao felt suspicious for a moment, but You Bing was not a joking person.
So he calmed down and said nothing, but stared at You Bing with piercing eyes, looking forward to it.
If You Bing really got an Immortality Fruit, then the two of them would have made a lot of money!
With Xu Dao looking at him, You Bing paused for a moment and then spoke again, saying:
"On the first day after falling into the Black Mountain, Pindao happened to catch a glimpse of a baby-shaped thing in the secret place of a canyon. It was the size of a pair of fists, covered with green skin, and had a clear idea. In particular, this thing was full of yang energy, and it was in harmony with the mountain.
The things are different... Later I went to the camp and listened to fellow disciples talking about it, and I learned that this thing is the fruit of immortality."
Xu Dao thought, although he didn't know what the Immortal Fruit was produced from, he didn't even know whether it was a fruit.
But after entering the Black Mountain, Xu Dao repeatedly searched for yang spiritual objects without success. He knew deeply that the Black Mountain was filled with ghosts and there was no Yang energy left.
What You Bing has revealed now has yang energy, which is contrary to the gloomy environment in the Black Mountain, but coincides with the principle that the yin pole generates yang. On the contrary, it can be proved that this thing is probably the immortal fruit.
"The purpose of cultivating the Yin God in the Immortal Way is to make your own Yin God continuously shed Yin and transform into Yang... If the Immortal Fruit can really help people build their foundation, it must be an item with great vitality, aura, and yang."
Xu Dao thought about it in his mind and believed a little what the other party said. However, he still had a question in his mind.
"Why don't fellow Taoists just take off this thing?" Xu Dao asked aloud.
When You Bing heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't."
"When I saw this thing, I was deep in the Black Mountain, surrounded by dangers, and there were monsters in the late stage of Qi Refining guarding the Immortal Fruit. It was difficult for me to pick off the Immortal Fruit, so I left."
You Bing looked at Xu Dao, with no waves in his bright eyes, and whispered: "When I join the camp at White Bone Temple, the people in the camp have nothing to do with me, and this matter is important? How dangerous is it in the Black Mountain? So I never revealed it.
This news has never left the camp."
Hearing You Bing's words? Xu Dao nodded secretly.
The Ascension Fruit is related to foundation building. For Qi Refining Taoist disciples, especially late-stage Taoist disciples who are stuck in the Qi Refining realm, it is a treasure that must be obtained by any means necessary.
If you miss one, you have to wait for the next Jiazi? And Taoist disciples who practice Qi refining don't have many Jiazi.
If You Bing dares to reveal the news in the camp of White Bone Temple? He will definitely be coveted by all parties and put himself in danger.
But now she is willing to share this matter with Xu Dao, not afraid that Xu Dao will have evil thoughts because of it, and her trusting attitude immediately makes Xu Dao happy.
Xu Dao stretched out his hand and squeezed the other person's soft and slightly cold hand. He said warmly: "Fellow Taoist, there is no need to worry. People in the camp are not allowed to plot, but you and I can. Pindao will take the Immortal Fruit with you."
"Yes." You Bing looked at Xu Dao's face and agreed directly without any hesitation.
In the past few days, the two of them had deepened their physical intimacy, and then practiced martial arts and taken medicine together, spending money on charms.
During this period, Xu Dao also told You Bing what happened in the camp, and directly opened the storage bag, letting You Bing take the talisman money in the bag as he pleased.
This act of reciprocating love made You Bing gain a lot, and made her heart warmer. Therefore, she trusted Xu Dao even more than before.
After You Bing took the initiative to tell the news about the Immortal Fruit, the relationship between the two became more harmonious.
After a little discussion, it was concluded that although the Immortality Fruit that You Bing had seen was hidden and difficult for others to find, it might have been picked away by someone after twenty-two days.
If it hasn't been picked off yet, the risk of being discovered will increase as the days away from the mountain come, so the two of them must go over and pick it off as soon as possible.
So after the two of them discussed it, they each got ready in the cave, one meditating and the other choosing the worms.
When they were ready, they sat cross-legged opposite each other, escaped from the Yin Shen, and ran towards the place where the Immortal Ascension Fruit was.
There were also some minor twists and turns.
It was just a few years after You Bing was promoted to a Taoist disciple. She had only learned breeding spells, but she had not yet raised a Yin beast. It was not safe for the Yin God to travel.
Because there are many demons and ghosts in Black Mountain, it is far less safe than in White Bone Temple. If a Taoist disciple is just a ghost spirit traveling without an external incarnation to rely on, his ghost spirit will be easily injured or even killed by monsters and ghosts.
And if the soul of Yin Shen dies, even if the Taoist disciple's physical body is still there, the Taoist disciple is dead.
Fortunately, after Xu Dao thought about it, he referred to the crow in the White Bone Temple and selected an earthworm to scatter his spirit.
In this way, You Bing's Yin Shen can barely hide in the body of the earthworm. If he encounters danger outside, with the earthworm as a buffer, his Yin Shen can return to the physical body in time to survive.
But in this way, because You Bing has never learned the art of Gu, she cannot control the tiny body of the earthworm, so she can only barely hide in it, like a living coffin.
But this also solves the biggest safety problem, allowing the two of them to travel together.
……………………
During the time that Xu Dao and You Bing were practicing together in seclusion, the situation in Black Mountain became increasingly tense.
The camp at Baiguguan was first actively destroyed by Shen Mu and others. Later, due to lack of manpower, the remaining Taoist disciples in the camp did not even dare to go out to collect medicine. They only dared to huddle in the camp and try their best to defend themselves.
And deep in the Black Mountain, many powerful Taoist disciples die every day, and even their souls are taken away.
As the Immortal Fruit begins to appear in the Black Mountain, every time it appears, it will cause a bloody storm, killing many Taoist disciples.
And on the day that Xu Dao and the two decided to leave seclusion, an Immortal Fruit appeared in an obvious location, which directly led to the collision between the three forces of the Yaksha Sect, the White Bone Temple, and the Shezhao tribe.
Among these three forces, the Yaksha Sect has the largest number of Taoist disciples, and the Taoist disciples in the late stage of Qi Refining are also the weirdest, so the Baiguguan and Shezhao tribes have to join forces to fight.
But even so, the two sects were repeatedly defeated by the Yaksha sect.
In a hilly area.
Within a few miles, the ground was covered with mutilated skeletons, and ferocious and ugly poisonous insects were flying in the air.
At this time, Taoist disciples with tall hats and white clothes stood sporadically on the hills. They were surrounded by ghosts one after another, including long-tongued ghosts, big-headed ghosts, starving ghosts, and drowned ghosts...
These white-clothed Taoist disciples are all disciples of the Yaksha Sect. They walk in the hills, as if they are ghosts wandering in the world, constantly driving ghosts and seducing souls.
"Fellow Taoist, have mercy!" With a scream, a ghost suddenly jumped out of a tragically dead beast corpse on the ground.
The Taoist robe worn by this Yin Shen is in the style of the White Bone Temple, so he must be a Taoist disciple in the White Bone Temple.
Yin Shen wanted to escape, but his feet were entangled with thin chains and he could not escape from the beast corpse.
At this time, a Yaksha disciple who was shaking a copper bell came over. The man leaned down and gently took off a gray-white talisman from the animal corpse.
The Yin Shen of the Taoist disciples of White Bone Temple was apparently entangled by the chains extending from the talisman, and was captured on the talisman.
"Fellow Taoist, spare your life, I have the talisman money to give." Yin Shen had his feet tied with chains and shouted in panic.
But when the disciples of the Yaksha Sect saw it, they turned a deaf ear. There was only a greedy look in their eyes. They immediately moved their faces, stuffed the talisman into their mouths, and started chewing it.
The Yinshen who were bound by the talisman were also stuffed into their mouths and became like little paper figures.
"Ahhh!" Yin Shen suddenly screamed repeatedly.
With a gurgling sound in his throat, the disciple of the Yaksha Sect suddenly spat out the talisman in his mouth, and a gray-white figure immediately appeared next to him.
This figure is all gray and paper-like, only the sides of the cheeks are painted with blush-like makeup. It is not a ghost, but it is light on the feet and can stand on grass roots. It looks like paper. The face of the paper figure is exactly the same as before.
A Taoist disciple of the White Bone Temple who can scream in agony.
Behind the disciples of the Yaksha Sect, there are more than twenty figures like this, all of them are light and papery, but their aura is permeable, and they at least have ghost aura at the level of Qi refining.
From time to time there are screams on the hills:
"I am the son of the sixth elder of Shezhao. Spare my life. I have...ah!"
"Help! Fellow Taoist Mo Wen, help!"...
The Taoist Yin gods who were unable to escape in time were trapped in the dead Yin beasts, like grown wheat, being harvested first by the approaching Yaksha disciples and reduced to ghost servants.
A few miles away from the hills, two groups of men and horses peered at the scene on the field, their eyes were awe-inspiring, even frightened.
…………………………
After Xu Dao and You Bing were ready, they immediately rolled up all the Qi-refining-level insects and flew away from the cave.
The number of this group of worms reached one hundred thousand, 30,000 of which were brought back to the cave by Xu Dao, and the remaining 70,000 or so were grown by the swarm of worms during their time in seclusion.
This is because Xu Dao is in seclusion and cannot control the Gu insects to find blood food for them, otherwise the number of Qi refining level earthworms will be even greater.
It is worth mentioning that after raising a large number of Qi-refining-level centipedes, Xu Dao discovered that the more Qi-refining-level centipedes there are, the faster the cultivation level of the centipede ant king will grow, which can accelerate the increase in the power of the centipede swarm.
This is because after Qi refining level earthworms cannot continue to grow, they will actively condense a blood-colored spiritual liquid in their bodies, which is thick and crystal clear, similar to honey. Xu Dao calls it "blood honey".
The blood honey is extremely pure. It is a spiritual liquid obtained by refining the blood and flesh of earthworms and aura. It has the effect of rapidly increasing the demonic energy of the ant king, and can even be taken by Xu Dao.
Almost every time the ant king eats a meal of blood honey, its demonic power will increase immediately, with almost no bottleneck.
After about ten days of hard work, the demonic power in Nanke's body was already three or four times that of before, which was faster than Xu Dao's cultivation.
Once the ant king grows up, the other ordinary ants will be able to break the bottleneck and continue to grow and become stronger.
If Xu Dao were to do the same thing with Shen Mu again among the 100,000 wormflies, he could consume up to 8,000 wormflies alone and kill Shen Mu on the spot.
The 100,000 Qi Refining level earthworms were flying in the Black Mountain, buzzing with astonishing force.
Even in the dark night, when demons and ghosts were everywhere, there were still few demons and ghosts who dared to come forward to provoke him.
Xu Dao was carrying a storage bag and jade hook with him on this trip, and the frog possessed by You Bing was lying on the storage bag, silent and motionless.
It is said that although You Bing has difficulty controlling the movement of the beetle, she can get out of the Yin Shen in time and communicate with Xu Dao to point out the way.
After flying for three or four hours, Xu Dao controlled the Gu insects and rushed directly into the depths of the Black Mountain.
He was originally worried that the monsters deep in the Black Mountain would be very powerful, but after he actually encountered a few, or even a monster in the late stage of Qi refining, his worries disappeared instantly.
In order to pick the Immortal Fruit as soon as possible, Xu Dao continued to run rampant, flying all the way in the direction pointed by You Bing.
After exploring the road several times, the two finally arrived at the canyon where You Bing met the Immortal Fruit.
You Bing's Yin God jumped out of the body of the earthworm and said: "Continue to travel inward along this line of sky, then pass between the cliffs on the left, walk a hundred steps, look up, and you can see in a concave cave...
…”
"Understood." Xu Dao held a hundred thousand earthworms in his arms, paused, and sent the earthworms several times to lead the attack, and then rushed into the sky.
You Bing took the Yin Shen back into the body of the cricket at the right time to prevent there being monsters around.
Xu Dao groped his way through the rock walls, moving left and right several times, and the buzzing echo of flying earthworms came from the cliffs.
Finally, he reached the upper part of the cliff completely, the space became larger, and he also discovered the hollow in You Bing's mouth.
This cave is hung high on the cliff. The rock wall on the top is tilted, blocking the sky. It is surrounded by rocks on three sides. It can be said to be a good place to shelter from wind and rain.
You Bing discovered this place that day because he happened to see it while looking for a hiding place.
And Xu Dao controlled the earthworm to fly near the cave, and immediately saw the small spiritual object in the cave.
This spiritual object is green all over, like a curled-up baby. It is only four or five inches tall, but at a glance, it makes people feel that it is full of spirit and is not a common thing.
What's even more peculiar is that this thing is like a human breathing, surrounded by spiritual energy, and the way it swallows and exhales is quite magical.
Xu Dao condensed the past and realized that the spiritual energy in this object was not negative, but full of vitality, extremely masculine, and a great tonic.
This made Xu Dao suddenly think of something he had refined, the innate infant energy.
The innate baby qi is produced together with the evil qi of the child and mother. Its qi is very soft, just like the innate breath that a child enjoys in the mother's body. It can not only enhance the Taoist's cultivation, but also slightly refine his qualifications.
The spiritual object that appeared in front of Xu Dao was quite similar to the innate infant energy.
It's just that this immortal fruit is more mellow, more agile, and more exciting than the innate infant energy in Guo's ancestral hall.
Xu Dao was overjoyed and said to himself: "Even if this thing is not the Immortality Fruit, it is still a secret treasure."
You Bing's voice rang out from the swarm of earthworms at the right time: "This thing is occupied by monsters, be careful!"
Xu Dao heard this and replied: "No problem!"
He immediately pointed out a group of crickets and ordered them to rush towards the Immortal Fruit.
Sen! The earthworms were only half a foot into the Immortal Fruit, when a thin red shadow flashed past, and dozens of earthworms died in the blink of an eye and fell to the ground one after another.
"Huh?" Seeing this scene, Xu Dao felt light in his heart.
He stared at it and immediately noticed a long red snake appearing on the Immortal Fruit. The snake was entangled on the Immortal Fruit, with its mouth open and its two fangs roaring at the group of earthworms.
After identifying it, Xu Dao seemed to recognize this object and said with a little surprise:
