Chapter 276: The Four Seasons Turn, the Green Wu Tree Heart
When human monks form elixirs, the calamity they face is far from being called a test, and is more similar to the Tao certification process.
Unless they have a solid foundation and a Taoist heart that is really unbearable, they will basically get through it safely.
But for aliens like fairies and ghosts, it's a completely different story.
Even though it can't compare to the calamity of transformation, it is still difficult and difficult, and there is nothing to be careless about.
In particular, the demon clan in the lower realm has few inheritances, and the research on the various arts of cultivating immortals is far less than that of the human race.
To fight against the catastrophe, most people can only rely on the physical body and the demonic power to resist.
Although the Golden-backed Demon Mantis is a heterogeneous species, it is quite biased.
The killing is sharp, but the physical strength is much different.
With his own strength, even if he survives the calamity, his vitality will definitely be severely damaged, and it will take ten or twenty years to recover.
But now, it is much better to have the "Mountains and Rivers Map" to protect you.
But I saw it open its mouth and spit out a black demonic mist, wrapping the pills that I had worked so hard to cultivate.
He raised his head to the sky and watched the first blue thunder and lightning falling from the sky.
The thunder and lightning crackled fiercely in the air, and before it fell, it was blocked by the rising spiritual light.
The lightning essence and the spiritual energy gathered by the formation consume each other and offset each other.
For monsters, calamity is both a hardship and an indispensable one.
If you don't accept it at all, the foundation of Taoism is lacking, which will affect your future practice.
Therefore, when Xie Duanyang arranged this formation, he deliberately did not arrange it completely, but deliberately left a few flaws.
The first thunderbolt alone is far from enough to destroy this formation.
But it also caused the formation's spiritual light to shake and become chaotic, with wisps of cyan electric light flowing along the gaps and into the formation.
Drawn by the Qi machine and Dharma intention, they naturally converge towards the ink-colored demon pill.
Facing these scattered electric lights, whose power was less than one-tenth of the original power, the golden-backed demon mantis remained motionless.
Let it and the demonic black mist consume each other, and a series of crackling and crackling sounds will erupt.
In the end, only seven or eight rays of lightning met Danwan.
The pill shook slightly, and the black mist surrounding it suddenly became nearly twice as dense, swallowing up and digesting the cyan lightning silently.
The breath has changed slightly, becoming more clear.
But before he could fully appreciate the changes, the second thunder fell from the sky again.
This time, the "Mountains and Rivers Map" missed significantly more lightning.
The thunder light instantly wiped away half of the black mist.
It's just that the golden-backed demon mantis is now in a full state of mana and divine will. It swallows the demonic energy and immediately replenishes it, and even expands outwards.
Again and again.
The seventh thunder struck down, and the already shaky formation could no longer hold on and collapsed.
Thunder and lightning are like spears and whips, whipping down.
At this time, the dark clouds had gathered into a funnel shape, and the clouds were hanging low, almost level with the mountainside.
Therefore, this sky thunder falls extremely fast.
This time, the golden-backed demon mantis did not dare to let the demon pill face the thunder again.
Swallowing the pill into its belly, arousing the majestic demonic energy, it withstood this attack with a relatively tough body.
The back that originally had some golden color turned into burnt black again.
The air is filled with the special smell of half-cooked barbecue.
The golden-backed demon mantis swayed, fell from mid-air, and lay on the ground.
Fortunately, although the seven heavenly thunders previously acted directly on the elixir, this demon elixir is actually the condensation of its true energy and blood, and is closely related to itself.
The physical body has also undergone some tempering, and it is at least one level higher than before.
Although the injury looks miserable, the breath is still stable.
Under the influence of the residual medicinal power in Mana Tong's body, the flesh and blood of the wound healed at a very fast speed.
At this time, the eighth thunderbolt finally fell, creating a deep pit on the ground.
The protective evil spirit is almost gone.
The golden-backed demon mantis, which had been silent since the calamity, finally couldn't bear it anymore and let out a series of sharp piercing cries.
The real body surged several times, completely liberating the mana, blood, etc. that were originally suppressed and contracted.
Go and meet the more powerful thunder behind you.
This time, it is not cyan thunder and lightning, but a bit plain white.
But its power made Xie Duanyang feel it, and he swept away ten miles again.
There are still no plans to intervene directly.
Because he could clearly see that this thunder had drained away the remaining thunder and lightning aura in the dark clouds.
The dark clouds are obviously much thinner than before, and there are signs of drifting away with the wind.
This calamity has come to an end.
Sure enough, as soon as the blue and white thunder and lightning fell, the dark clouds dispersed out of thin air, and the bright sky returned.
In Baimang Mountain, the murderous intention that was originally oppressive and dull, making the creatures in the mountain extremely frightened, has also disappeared.
Xie Duanyang carefully raised his Bai-Colored Shadowless Armor, took good protection and flew towards the mountain col.
The originally flat ground was struck by thunder with potholes of varying depths and sizes.
The golden-backed demon mantis lay in the middle, with black and green blood gurgling from its body, forming a pool of blood.
The air is filled with a strong smell of blood.
Release the large net specially made for catching colorful pheasants, fish the shrunken golden-backed mantis out of the blood pit, apply ointment to it, and feed it healing elixir.
Seeing that its breath gradually stabilized, Xie Duanyang reached out and collected the blood into a bottle, not wasting any drop.
After all, it is a level five monster and a rare alien species.
It is rare whether it is in Tiannan or Dajin.
Whether blood is used to make elixirs, transform talismans, or even just for fertilization, it is excellent.
It can be regarded as a small amount of money to make up for Xie Duanyang’s expense on him.
He did more than that, releasing his spiritual consciousness, whether it was intact or damaged.
Pack up the array plate, array flag, and some of the materials that the golden-backed demon mantis dropped and transformed under the thunder.
Release a dozen fireballs and roll them up, then release the earth-walking grandson to cast the earth-walking spell.
Until the place has been so ravaged that no trace of the original traces can be seen anymore, and all the ideas and so on have been destroyed.
Xie Duanyang just put the praying mantis into the spirit beast bag, used his secret technique to change his appearance, restrained his aura, and carefully left Baimang Mountain.
We walked around a few times and made a big circle.
It took him three full days before he returned to the valley.

As soon as he came in, he hurriedly opened the "Inverted Five Elements Formation" restrictions to cover the surrounding area, and then he had time to check the situation of the golden-backed demon mantis.
Although Jingzhou is a wasteland for cultivation, Baimang Mountain is also inaccessible.
But the strange phenomenon of Dancheng is a bit big after all, so I can’t help but thank Duanyang for not being more careful.
This spiritual insect is much better than Xie Duanyang imagined, and its recovery speed from injuries is astonishing, and it can be fully recovered in less than half a month at most.
But it fell into a deep sleep, which reminded Xie Duanyang of the time when it activated its blood vessels in advance under the influence of blood chalcedony.
It is also the same as before. Obviously, the benefits of this pill calamity are not just in terms of realm and cultivation.
"This is the best thing."
After lighting the feather incense, the golden-backed demon mantis slept more peacefully and sweetly, and Xie Duanyang pasted a relatively unpopular "Calm and Concentration Talisman" on its forehead.
Originally, I was a little worried that after the pill was formed, the insect's resistance to the Soul-Retaining Card would become stronger and it would not be as peaceful as it is now.
[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.]
It's a good time to add a few more restrictions now.
————
Twelve days later, Xie Duanyang extinguished the incense and put down the talisman pen made of jadeite and crane feathers.
He looked at the bloody lines drawn with his own essence and blood, meandering and flowing as if alive, and finally submerged into the body of the golden-backed mantis and disappeared completely.
Feeling that his connection with it was getting closer, Xie Duanyang raised two fingers together, lightly tapped the mantis's forehead, and sent a thought.
"Wake up."
The golden-backed demon mantis, which had already fully recovered, woke up at the opportunity and blinked its somewhat confused and groggy eyes.
The mantis regained consciousness quickly and excitedly spit out the magic elixir the size of a chicken, trying to practice its new magical power in the valley.
Xie Duanyang was delighted to see his hunting spirit, so he summoned the Immortal-Decapitating Flying Knife, and began to spar with the golden-backed mantis.
One person and one demon both use the sword skills of the White Tiger's Seven Kills, but the artistic conception is completely different.
Although the immortal-killing flying knife is a wish-fulfilling magic weapon, its grade is comparable to a natal magic weapon.
However, due to Xie Duanyang's current level of magic power, he was always a little unable to control it and could not exert 100% of his power.
As for the golden-backed mantis, the current sword technique has returned to its original nature, and its power can surpass Xie Duanyang's head.
However, the two serrated knives are not as sharp as the flying knives.
Both sides kept their trump card killing moves and used 70% to 80% of their strength. However, the fight was fierce and it was difficult to tell the winner.
Xie Duanyang came to the conclusion.
The two forelimbs of the golden-backed mantis are almost the hardest and most precious parts of the body, and have been tempered by its demonic power for countless years.
Even though they are not as good as the Immortal-killing Flying Knife, these two boring knives are almost equivalent to the newly trained magic weapons.
In terms of the connection between essence and mind, there should be something beyond it, but after all, it cannot be as clear as a magic weapon, which can be far or near.
"How about we sort out some of the tricks of the 'Gold Smelting Hand' and teach it..."
The cultivation of monsters is more difficult than that of humans. The golden-backed mantis can form elixirs, and Xie Duanyang is already satisfied.
If you want to climb to level six or level seven, under normal circumstances it would take at least a hundred years.
Before forming the elixir or even the Nascent Soul, I will not cultivate it too carefully.
Compared with accumulating mana and cultivation, it is easier and more cost-effective to directly increase combat power.
One, of course, is the "Seven Kills of the White Tiger".
It has now mastered that sword style perfectly, and it is time to learn the others.
However, Xie Duanyang has no intention of teaching all the remaining six postures to the Golden-backed Praying Mantis, and the next two postures will be enough.
The second, of course, is its pair of serrated knives.
Previously, the golden-backed mantis could only rely on instinct to temper and strengthen its essence with demon power, and did not know the way to sacrifice.
If it has acquired some weapon-smelting skills and some knowledge of "gold-smelting and iron-smelting hands", it will definitely be much better than itself.
"Melding gold and smelting iron hands" originally borrowed from the demon clan's body refining technique, and I think the golden-backed mantis would be more suitable.
Having planned everything in silence, Xie Duanyang then injected the sword technique derived from Yishi Sword Intent into the sea of consciousness of the mantis, allowing it to comprehend it on its own.
I sat cross-legged under the green Wu tree and meditated again to practice my Qi.
His own spiritual beasts have successfully formed elixirs on their own, which is a good thing, but it also gives him some encouragement.
Xie Duanyang was lucky, and what he was most worried about did not happen.
The changes in Baimang Mountain in the past few days have not attracted the attention of the demon cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
Jingzhou is as peaceful as ever.
And after he quietly left the valley and secretly observed the Qixuanmen to ensure that the Zhang brothers and sisters were familiar with the world according to his plan, Xie Duanyang was finally able to completely relax and concentrate on practicing.
In another six months, it will naturally be restored to the later stage of foundation building.
After coming out of seclusion again, I looked at Zhang Jialiang and Zhang Xiu who were much more mature in the past.
After explaining everything in detail, Xie Duanyang made up his mind to leave.
He had stayed in Jingzhou, Yue State for a long enough time, and even though everything was fine, he did not want to stay any longer.
However, before that, he still has something to do.
"I don't know if it can be done."
Stroking the smooth surface of the green Wu tree with his hand, Xie Duanyang murmured to himself.
This tree is closely related to the bloodline of the Feng people, although Xie Duanyang has dug out the piece of blood chalcedony from under the tree.
But if you remove it and carry it with you, it will ultimately be a good thing for the growth of the colorful pheasant.
Although he really has no way to remove this spiritual tree at the moment.
In fact, even if there is a way, it is not suitable to do it.
People move and live, but trees die when they are moved.
I will be wandering around for many years, unable to take root and settle down, so I am not suitable to take this tree with me.
But this doesn't mean that he really can't take anything away.
A branch, a spiritual root, a seed...
At the beginning, Xie Duanyang "joined" Baihuashan and gained a lot of knowledge about spiritual plants.
From the day he saw the green wu tree, he was thinking about what he could do.
After several years of research, I have some understanding.
"In two days, the bucket handle will point to noon.
When Yang Qi reaches its extreme, it is the time when the antlers of antlers are released, cicadas chirp, and Yin Qi emerges."
Looking up at the night sky, feeling the subtle flow of air in the air, Xie Duanyang whispered.
Taking advantage of the anode's yin growth and the opportunity of yin and yang conversion, you can be sure to do something to the tree.
In four years, he had already prepared everything.
Dismantle the confusion formation, raise your hands to lower the four and eight formation flags inside and outside, a total of twelve formation flags, and then call in the colorful pheasants.
Through the induction connection between it and the spiritual tree, the Qi machine of the green Wu tree in the center is in the same formation.
Two days passed by quickly.
Xie Duanyang took out the rootless rainwater, frost, snow, buds and other things collected in the four o'clock and eight festivals.
According to the requirements of Baihuashan Spiritual Planting Technique, they are placed in various places in the formation.
Then, he used his magic power to strike at the twelve formation flags one after another.
Twelve formation flags flew up at the same time, each wrapping up something.
Invisible threads extend from it, intertwining vertically and horizontally, forming a large and sparse network.
On each formation flag, there is a stream of light emerging, flowing along the silk thread into the green Wu tree.
The aura blooms on the tree, sprouts, grows leaves, spits out cores, and bears fruit...
In just a few breaths, it feels like I have gone through the changing seasons.
And the sapphire-like tree bark gradually bulged and sunk.
There is great mystery between the expansion and contraction.
"Out!"
His eyes were firmly locked there, feeling the changes with his spiritual consciousness.
Xie Duanyang suddenly spit out one word and at the same time released the Immortal Killing Flying Knife from the gourd.
There was a flash of white light, and the flying knife traveled around the tree, easily drawing a half-foot-square circle.
Xie Duanyang used his five fingers as claws, spat out magic power slightly, and grabbed it in the air.
The bark falls from the top.
And in the palm of his hand, there is an extra round ball filled with green light.
