Chapter 275: A stunning blow, instantly turning into an elixir
The two of them are too young after all.
Zhang Jialiang is slightly older, only fifteen, and Zhang Xiu is one year younger than him.
Even if they can cast a few spells after the mid-term, there are also magic weapons and talismans that Xie Duanyang left for them in the storage bag.
But they haven't gone through much experience, so now let them go to the Flower Country together.
Maybe he will be tricked and plotted by those old gangsters along the way.
But around here, it is safe.
After going down the mountain to practice with the disciples of Qixuanmen for a few times, to see the commonly used methods, and to accumulate some experience in the world, I can really feel free to let them go on the road.
In addition...
Looking at the two people who walked out of the valley reluctantly, kneeling step by step, Xie Duanyang smiled.
It just so happened that they were allowed to pass on the message, and at the same time, the senior officials of the Qixuan Sect could see their methods.
Three years later, with the support of Qixuanmen with all their strength, the two monks also stepped into the third level of Qi training.
It's just that without the guidance of a famous teacher and their qualifications are not very good, they cannot break through the barrier and enter the middle stage.
Of course, one of the important reasons is that they fell into the same predicament that Mo Juren and Han Li were in.
Originally, the prescription given to them by Xie Duanyang was aimed at the early stage of Qi training. The deeper the magic power, the weaker the effectiveness.
And after three years of continuous searching.
Even though the Qixuan Sect has great wealth and power.
There are also disciples who are good at Qinggong and can go to dangerous places with dangerous cliffs and tigers and wolves, which is much more convenient than ordinary herb collectors.
However, the number of suitable medicinal materials from previous years is still decreasing day by day.
If things continued like this, it was unlikely that they would bother him again, so Xie Duanyang simply sent Zhang Jialiang and the two away.
"I just don't know..."
Xie Duanyang said with a smile on his face, "How will the two monks from Qixuanmen who have spent great efforts to train them make choices after knowing the wider world?"
Although they also have the third level of magic power, those two people have no masters and know nothing about the world of cultivation.
Not to mention the magical talismans, not even the spiritual stones.
If they had heard from Zhang Jialiang and others about the two paths of good and evil, the Tiandao Alliance, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, sect families, etc., Xie Duanyang didn't think they would still be able to stay in such a small place with peace of mind.
"Just don't think about relying on my Luanhuashan."
Xie Duanyang thought silently, and soon turned his attention to other things.
He really wants to stay here for a while, firstly to take care of the Zhang family brothers and sisters, but the most important thing is another matter.
Leaving the valley, Xie Duanyang stood on the top of the mountain and whistled loudly.
The roaring sound pushed away the clouds.
Soon, a gray-black demon rolled in and lay down in front of him.
"In three days, I will help you form the elixir."
Connecting his spiritual thoughts to the sea of consciousness of the golden-backed demon mantis, Xie Duanyang read the words word for word.
This is the reason why he is determined to stay here.
In the hands of the Yuling Sect's pill-forming monk, the golden-backed demon mantis has been trained to the fourth level peak, which corresponds to the human race's fake pill, and is only half a step away from forming a pill.
However, for monsters, forming pills is the most difficult level next to Yuan Ying's transformation.
Under normal circumstances, it is not an exaggeration to be stuck here for a hundred years.
If the blood vessels in your heels and feet are not good, it will be difficult to cultivate to this level.
If the bloodline is astonishing, the disasters caused by these two levels will become even more terrifying.
The golden-backed demon mantis is somewhere between the two. Although it is a different species, it is not as good as the Jiaoluan.
They are just like insects, born with short and shallow wisdom, which is very detrimental to spiritual practice.
Fortunately, it got several opportunities after it fell into the hands of Xie Duanyang.
First, under the influence of blood chalcedony, his own blood vessels were stimulated, and his back appeared golden.
Then, Xie Duanyang instilled into it the elixirs he had observed twice to form elixirs. Although the practices of the human and demon races are very different, there are still many lessons to be learned.
Finally, he cultivated Yu Ling Sect's "Hundred Insects Spiritual Communication Technique". After receiving this insect for twenty years, he used his own golden and fire magic power to refine and purify its Qi, and strengthened each other.
Over time, it will be a big benefit.
Finally.
A month ago, the golden-backed demon mantis conveyed his thoughts to Xie Duanyang Daomo Lake with the help of his spiritual thoughts.
After several years, it finally "digested" all the experience of forming pills, and sensed the germination of pill energy in its own body, and there was a faint sign of solidification of true energy.
Xie Duanyang was overjoyed about this.
Originally, he was worried that his mid-term cultivation would not be enough to cross the Mulan Grassland, so he decided to practice quietly for a while to increase his magic power to the late stage or even the realm of fake elixir before setting off.
But if this spiritual beast is really likely to successfully form a pill, it will certainly be safer.
Even if he faced one or two pill-forming monks, Xie Duanyang dared to give it a try.
For this reason, Xie Duanyang even collected spiritual objects for himself.
Take out a few of them. As long as there are spiritual stones, it is estimated that it will not be difficult to find after the Jin Dynasty, and they can be used to assist the Zuo insect in forming pills.
Understanding what Xie Duanyang meant, the golden-backed mantis vibrated its wings excitedly and made a buzzing sound.
It was not raised by Xie Duanyang with essence and blood since he was a child, but part of his soul was imprisoned by the Juling Pai, and he did it as a last resort.
Although I feel good about it, and my hostility has decreased a lot over the past twenty years, it is still not as close to it as other spiritual beasts.
But now, with the promise that he will help him form the elixir, the golden-backed demon mantis feels much better about him.
However, Xie Duanyang looked at the mantis and secretly reminded himself in his heart that he must refine the Juling Pavilion again.
By the way, several more restrictions will be placed in its body.
Although this card comes from the hands of the Nascent Soul monk, Lieyan Patriarch, Xie Duanyang fully trusts its quality.
But if the golden-backed demon mantis really forms the elixir, there will be a real gap in realm between him and himself.
It’s better to make more preparations to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Three days later, Xie Duanyang put the fire crow, flower bee, black tiger and other spiritual beasts into the valley and started the inverted five elements formation.
Then, he led the golden-backed demon mantis for a hundred and twenty or thirty miles and stopped only when he arrived at a mountain col deep in Baimang Mountain that he had already spotted.
Release the magic weapon to sort out the nearby terrain, and set up two formations: "Mountain and River Hundred Veins Map" and "Spirit Gathering Formation".
Xie Duanyang nodded to the golden-backed mantis and led it into the formation himself.
Generally speaking, the time required for monks to form elixirs varies depending on their qualifications and background.
It ranges from three to five years.
Among them, the most critical and time-consuming one.
It consists in instilling magic power and swallowing the elixir to cause the liquid essence in the body to solidify and condense towards the elixir shape.
However, there are differences between the demon clan and human cultivation. The golden-backed demon mantis has already sensed the germination of the elixir energy in advance, so this step can save a lot of effort.
Unlike the monks who meditated and performed their exercises, the golden-backed demon mantis did not sit still. Instead, he swallowed several pills in several mouthfuls, then took out two boring knives and ran around in the array.
One move after another, Xie Duanyang practiced all the dozens of sword techniques that he had penetrated into its sea of consciousness, as well as the hunting and fighting skills that it had developed on its own over hundreds of years.
[To tell you the truth, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on new books. It allows me to switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. .huanyuanapp is available for Android and Apple.]
Initially, Xie Duanyang could still see his movements clearly with the naked eye.
In the end, the golden-backed demon mantis moved faster and faster, the serrated knife flew up and down, and only two cold lights could be seen.
The demonic energy on the body first expanded wider and wider, and then gradually shrank, wrapping the mantis' body.
It becomes increasingly clear that the path of his sword is treacherous and unpredictable.
Later, Xie Duanyang had to completely let go of his consciousness.
Only then can we break through the strange demonic aura and clearly see the movements of the golden-backed mantis.
At this point, it has no fixed method for making moves.
He doesn't stick to those swordsmanship catalogs, but seems to melt them into one and use them completely for his own use.
There is no fixed method for every sword swing, but it all coincides with the principle of swordsmanship.
Even Xie Duanyang didn't realize that he was drawing parallels after watching it. He felt something in his heart and his sword skills improved to a higher level.
It was obvious that he had practiced the "Seven Kills of the White Tiger" earlier and was more talented at it.
But at this time, the Golden-backed Demon Mantis' sword skills soared, but it seemed that he had come from behind and surpassed him.
Just after a second thought, Xie Duanyang understood.
In the final analysis, it’s because I was distracted too much.
Not only do we need to improve our magic power, but we also have to concentrate on practicing magic, and at the same time, we need to study the art of refining elixirs, making talisman and forming formations.
Even though he didn't spend much energy on the various arts of cultivation, he only had a superficial taste.
And with the help of Taixu Jingzuo, the efficiency and progress are far beyond ordinary people.
But in the end, my spirit was distracted and my thoughts were not pure enough.
On the other hand, the golden-backed demon mantis has already reached its peak level of magic power, and there is no other way to practice magic.
Just concentrate on it and study it all.
Until now, I have finally met the opportunity, and I have mastered my swordsmanship. It can be regarded as a model of accumulation and accumulation.
Understanding this, Xie Duanyang thought about it thoroughly.
Observing the body movements of the mantis, there is also the mysterious meaning that can only be understood but cannot be expressed.
Then verify and compare it with your own understanding.
"The Seven Kills of the White Tiger" is really a mysterious and inexplicable magical power.
Different people receive this inheritance and develop different things.
But after reaching the transformation state, they all reach the same destination through different paths, without any inconsistency.
At this glance, it is a full five days.
The originally gray demonic aura outside the body of the golden-backed demon mantis has become as thick as ink, and is as thick as substance, between solid and liquid states, boiling like boiling water.
However, practicing sword practice for five consecutive days made the mantis uncomfortable.
Each of its cuts is not frivolous, but real.
Pour your own energy, mana, and spirit into it.
Now it is almost reaching the critical point.
However, the spirit of the golden-backed demon mantis is not bad, and it is particularly clear.
"It's now."
Xie Duanyang fixed his gaze and used all his strength to activate the Taixu Mirror in his soul.
At this moment, time seems to have stopped for a moment, and seems to have slowed down ten times.
The golden-backed demon mantis united its two swords in front of each other, and then simply slashed.
It seems ordinary, but it is a return to nature, with great ingenuity and no workmanship.
When it fell into Xie Duanyang's eyes, he was also very surprised.
It is the most pure intention of the White Tiger Seven Kills Sword.
The air suddenly became silent.
The space in the formation is filled with a murderous aura.
The ink-like demonic aura surrounding the mantis both protects and restrains it.
He was easily chopped open by the knife and dissipated in the formation.
Even the "Mountains and Rivers Map" was in turmoil.
Thanks to Xie Duanyang's timely use of magic power to stabilize the mountain roots and water transport, it was not destroyed from within.
This is the golden-backed demon mantis’s natural demonic energy, plus the stunning sword blow at the end took too much effort.
It didn't even have time to see the result of the knife, it just lay on the ground, unable to get up, just swallowing extremely thin mana.
One breath is exhausted, another breath is born.
Xie Duanyang could clearly see the newly generated true energy of the golden-backed mantis.
It is no longer gray as before, but a pure and more condensed ink color.
An illusory elixir shadow appeared from the belly of the mantis.
With each layer of demonic energy that becomes thicker, the elixir shadow becomes clearer and more solid.
However, as the demon pill gradually became fuller, Xie Duanyang also vaguely sensed it.
Between heaven and earth, there is a murderous intent and calamity that spreads out, heading towards the golden-backed demon mantis in the formation.
This murderous intention is several times stronger than when Xike formed the elixir that day.
Xie Duanyang made some calculations and feared that when the demon elixir is about to be completed, the elixir-forming calamity will follow.
"Just let me come and help you."
He is here just to protect the Dharma and will not hesitate when he sees this.
The "Spirit Gathering Array" was lifted up by it, and the spiritual energy within dozens of miles of Baimang Mountain was pulled and condensed into thin clouds and drifted over.
It's just that there are no serious spiritual veins here, so the spiritual energy gathered is only better than nothing.
Without thinking, Xie Duanyang took out seven or eight mid-level spiritual stones from his storage bag, crushed them directly with brute force, and sprinkled them into the formation.
The spiritual energy contained in it was quickly absorbed by the spirit gathering array and transported to the body of the golden-backed demon mantis, where it turned into spiritual power.
Although this is a bit wasteful, it is much faster than simply casting a spell to draw spiritual energy from it.
Fang Zi crushed the spirit stone, and Xie Duanyang stepped forward until he was in front of the golden-backed demon mantis.
He slapped his palm on the storage bag and took out several mana-restoring elixirs, spiritual wine, and the most precious Jiedanfu Zuolingdan, and ordered Mantis to swallow them all.
Xie Duanyang pressed his hands on the back of the mantis and used his magic power to help it quickly refine the medicinal power.
Soon, the demonic elixir shadow in his belly filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One day, two days, three days...
After seven days, a dark-colored pill was completely formed, somewhere between tangible and intangible, spinning endlessly in the golden-backed demon mantis pill chamber.
At this time, after several days of accumulation, the catastrophe and murderous intention were basically completed.
Over Baimang Mountain, dark clouds gradually gathered, and electric light swayed.
With this place as the center, the birds and beasts within a radius of dozens of miles rushed outward like crazy as if they sensed an earthquake.
Even the insects and ants in the soil are no exception.
However, it was a sultry summer, and there were already thunderstorms in the mountains, so it was not surprising.
What's more, the terrain of Baimang Mountain is steep and there are many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects, so it is inaccessible to people.
Xie Duanyang retracted his palm and slightly distanced himself, but the Taixu Mirror did not retract and continued to operate.
Although the golden elixir has just been formed, the elixir in the body of the Golden-backed Demon Mantis is not yet "perfect" and needs a lot of polishing.
Otherwise, the realm energy mechanism will inevitably be a little unstable, and there will always be some problems when the new demon power is running.
When facing a thunderstorm, a small mistake can have huge consequences.
Fortunately, after several days of recuperation, the golden-backed demon mantis is now full of energy and is in much better condition than most of the same kind who have survived the tribulation.
It is no problem to survive this thunder catastrophe.
What's more, there is also a large landscape formation here.
Xie Duanyang was thinking to himself when he saw dark clouds hanging low in the sky and lightning gathering.
It will fall from the sky and crash down to this place.
Xie Duanyang hurriedly cast a spell to escape from the formation, lest Qiji Jiao be implicated as well.
