Bai Ran stretched out two fingers, picked up one of the beads deftly, and put it in front of his eyes.
After staring for a moment, Bai Ran put the beads back and slowly closed his eyes.
But a picture in the jade slips came to mind.
A ball of fist-sized beads emitting five colors of light, with a dozen other smaller beads floating around.
And these beads are exactly the same as the ones in Bai Ran's hand.
The orb that loomed in the five-color light was familiar to Bai Ran. It was the Sky-Building Pill that flew out of the Xutian Cauldron.
Such a strange picture is one of the few pictures in the jade slips without any explanation. It looks mysterious. When Bai Ran scanned this picture in the jade slips in Cunjin Pavilion, he was naturally shocked.
pole.
This is why he did not hesitate to use an extra talisman as a gift to replace this jade slip from the ancient jade.
Otherwise, according to his original intention, he would just give him a bottle of elixir as a gift.
Apart from this one, there are several other pictures in the jade slips without written explanations, and the things drawn are also extremely weird.
There were items that looked like magic weapons, and there were also entities that looked like monsters and ghosts. But they were all things Bai Ran had never seen before.
Thinking that the Heaven-Building Pill is actually one of them, these weird pictures seem to be extraordinary things.
Bai Ran carefully remembered these pictures in his heart, maybe he would have the opportunity to see other things in the future!
At that time, it will naturally be treated seriously.
But at this moment, Bai Ran was really embarrassed when he looked at the beads in the box.
There is no doubt that these five-color beads must be closely related to the Heaven-Building Pill, otherwise they would not appear in the same picture.
Considering that these beads were refined by refining the bones of Ji Xuan, and Ji Xuan also owns a blood jade spider.
Another traitor of the old demon Xuan Gu, could it be that he also entered Xutian Cauldron back then and obtained a Heaven-Building Pill and drank it.
This can explain why the bones turned into five colors after death, and were burned by him with fire to condense these beads.
Judging from Bai Ran's experience in taking so many elixirs, nine out of ten times, the properties of the elixir for replenishing the sky have not been refined, or the properties of the elixir for replenishing the sky are too strong, and the elixir must be reconstituted and purified after taking it.
From this point of view, perhaps these beads are the real Sky-Building Pills!
Otherwise, how could they appear in the picture so solemnly!
As for using a monk's body as an alchemy furnace to nurture elixirs, although this is rarely used in today's world of immortality, Bai Ran had witnessed it with his own eyes.
The Black Evil Cult's "Blood Coagulation Five Elements Pill" is one of the very bloody and domineering methods.
But all of this is just wishful thinking. Naturally, he will not take it immediately.
So after thinking for a while, he walked out of the secret room and headed towards the insect room.
The current insect chamber is not as simple as it was in Tianxing City, but five stone chambers of different sizes have been opened up by Bai Ran.
Two of them are used to cultivate two different batches of gold-eating insects.
One batch is the tens of thousands of gold-eating insects that Bai Ran showed off in the Xutian Palace and devoured many iron fire ants. The other batch is naturally the nearly a thousand carefully selected insects brought out from the Tianxing City cave.
.The two batches were deliberately placed separately.
Speaking of which, I wonder if it was because too many fire ants were eaten.
Those tens of thousands of gold-eating insects seemed to have begun to evolve and reproduce again, and some of them had already begun to devour each other. This was an unexpected surprise for Bai Ran.
Among the remaining stone chambers, one housed Bai Ran's only remaining blood jade spider, and the other housed the soul-crying beast that just slept all day. The last one housed Bai Ran's remaining blood jade spider when he was in Xutian Temple.
Collection of golden silkworms.
Let’s not talk about the Blood Jade Spider, but the Soul Crying Beast! Although Bai Ran had the Soul Crying Bead in his hand, he was still worried in his heart and did not dare to refine the bead easily. So he put it aside for the time being and did not deal with it.
Anyway, this beast looks normal now.
Golden silkworms! When Bai Ran collected them at that time, it was not just on a whim, but these monster insects were also famous strange insects on the list.
Although their ranking is very low, even far inferior to the blood jade spider, they are only ranked at the bottom. But this kind of golden silkworm is a second-evolution monster that few monks know about. As long as they are given enough time, they are very likely to
Evolved into a flying insect called "Phantom Flame Moth". This kind of flying insect is not comparable to the golden silk silkworm, but the seventeenth strange insect on the list has the innate ability to transform.
How powerful this ability is, the information is vague. It seems that this insect was rare in ancient times, and there is no specific explanation.
However, even if the Phantom Flame Moth is ranked so high, even if there are some falsehoods, it is definitely not trivial.
Bai Ran ignored the surprised looks of other old monsters and collected these half-dead golden silkworms.
However, the golden silkworms were abandoned by Wan Tianming without hesitation. They really had very little energy left and looked like they would not be able to survive for long.
After Bai Ran got them, he kept feeding them rare elixirs such as "Feiling Pills", but he could barely hold on until he breathed his last, and the situation got worse and worse.
Seeing this scene, Bai Ran could only do nothing!
Now Bai Ranxin had an idea and went directly to the golden silkworm's insect room.
Across the window where the forbidden spell was cast, Bai Ran stretched out his head and took a look, his eyebrows furrowed.
At this moment, these green giant silkworms were lying on the ground indoors one by one, all motionless as if they were dead.
If Bai Ran hadn't been able to sense the faint spiritual energy on their bodies, he might have thought they were dead.
Bai Ran walked in without much hesitation.
After walking around these strange insects for a few times, they picked out a pair of male and female golden silkworms that were the largest and seemed to be slightly more energetic.
Then he took out the jade box from his arms and fed two five-color beads into the mouths of the strange insects before leaving the insect room again.
Bai Ran's idea is very simple!
Since there seems to be no hope of saving these bugs, it would be better to use them to test the effectiveness of the round beads.
Tianbu Dan is so famous, so its medicinal properties should be extremely miraculous.
If these beads are really the real Heaven-Building Pill as he imagined, then even if these golden silkworms cannot be saved, it will not make the situation worse.
Of course, if there were any adverse reactions after taking the golden silkworm, Bai Ran would naturally stop paying attention to these beads. In the following days, he dealt with the special existence of Jiuqu Lingshen.
This is an important basis for him to condense his Nascent Soul in the future, so he must take good care of it carefully no matter what.
In the center of the medicine garden, Bai Ran specially set aside a small piece of land.
Then he used several sets of refined prohibition flags to surround the land, making it impermeable to wind and rain, and turned the nearby ground into a stone-like existence.
Only then did he confidently transplant the Nine-Tune Spirit Ginseng body into it.
As for the incarnation of Jiuqu Lingshen, the white rabbit that has been trapped in a jade box, Bai Ran has no intention of trapping it for a long time. After all, even the incarnation may have an impact on the body of the spiritual ginseng over time.
Bai Ran brought a jade box filled with various talismans to the side of the spiritual ginseng body in the medicine garden, and then tore off the talismans on the box.
As a result, before Bai Ran could open the lid, a ray of white light flew out from the box, circled and then was thrown into the Jiuqu Spiritual Ginseng beside it, and was nowhere to be seen again.
Seeing this situation, Bai Ran couldn't help but smile knowingly.
It seems that after being caught once, this white rabbit incarnation was frightened and became less courageous.
But Bai Ran was looking at the body of the Nine-Turned Spiritual Ginseng, and kept thinking in his mind. I wonder if the small bottle of green liquid he used could have any magical effect on the Nine-Turned Spiritual Ginseng.
This idea came to him as soon as he got this spiritual ginseng.
But now there are more places where green liquid is needed. This test is not in a hurry.
What's more, if the green liquid is used, the Nine-Tune Spiritual Ginseng's ability will suddenly increase greatly, and some kind of mutation will occur, allowing it to escape from the formation.
Wouldn't it make him regret it to death?
This is not an ordinary grass or tree, but a legendary immortal elixir that has taken on an incarnation. It’s better to be careful!
With this idea in mind, Bai Ran stopped paying attention to it as soon as he placed the Jiuqu Lingshen.
As for the newly produced green liquid, Bai Ran used it all to ripen the soul-nourishing wood among the three sacred trees.
Although it was only a small section of the root, Bai Ran believed that as long as he gave him a few years, a ten thousand-year-old soul-nurturing tree would reappear.
Originally, Bai Ran planned to study the Xutian Cauldron to see if there was any other way to open it.
But a small piece of ribs accidentally dug out from the storage bag made Bai Ran temporarily interested.
When I think about it, it must be extraordinary that the ribs of the Xuan Gu Demon can remain unharmed under such a terrifying Shura holy fire.
Bai Ran was lying on the bed in the bedroom, holding the white crystal object in the sheets, looking at it with curiosity on his face.
First of all, there is no way this object is really a rib of the old demon Xuan Gu. The current shape is just a way for the old demon to hide it from others.
Not to mention the special material, just the faint trace of spiritual energy on it tells you that even though it is not a magic weapon, it must be an item that has been sacrificed and refined.
But whether Bai Ran used his spiritual sense to detect it or slowly injected spiritual power, the ribs didn't react at all.
After Bai Ran frowned, he immediately remembered that the old devil practiced the way of demons and ghosts. I'm afraid this thing must use some ghost energy.
Although Bai Ran himself does not have the power of ghosts, he still has the soul-gathering bowl he obtained in his early years.
Although all the ghosts in the bowl had been completely consumed by him in refining the puppet, there was still a lot of Yin Qi left in the bowl.
So he pressed into the storage bag with one hand, and the dark round bowl appeared in his hand.
Bai Ran casually glanced at the Soul Gathering Bowl, and the five fingers holding it suddenly flashed with green light.
A trace of Yin Qi was sucked into Bai Ran's body through his palm, and then slowly spread to the other hand holding the bone.
A cold black air gradually appeared and quickly enveloped the rib.
Bai Ran stared at this scene without blinking.
The ribs finally reacted, and the originally white and smooth surface began to turn black. It didn't take long for the entire yin energy to be sucked into the bones, turning it half white and half black.
Seeing these changes, Bai Ran didn't show any strange expression on his face, but his eyebrows moved inadvertently.
After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, he suddenly sat up from the bed.
Then an even more dazzling green light erupted from the palm holding the Soul Gathering Bowl.
At the same time, a ghostly cry could be heard from the other hand, and a larger mass of pitch-black Yin Qi took shape.
The ribs wrapped in it unceremoniously devoured the yin energy.
After making a cup of tea, continuously inhaling the Yin Qi, the thing gradually became equally black.
Suddenly a low humming sound came from the thing, and then a wisp of dark light burst out, and the room was suddenly filled with a strange and sinister atmosphere.
Bai Ran put away the soul-gathering bowl with some hesitation, and at the same time, he loosened the fingers of his other hand, and the ribs came out of his hand and floated, and the Yin Qi surrounding them also collapsed under the impact of the black light.
Looking at this strange scene, Bai Ran's eyes kept flashing.
But apart from the low murmur in the air and the constant flickering of black light, the black bones had no other changes.
After a while, Bai Ran's expression changed, and he suddenly waved in the air.
With a "whoosh" sound, his ribs were sucked out of thin air and held firmly in his hands.
Then he stared at the object in vain, and his spiritual consciousness penetrated into it.
This time, there was no longer the impenetrable feeling. The spiritual consciousness entered the ribs very smoothly.
As a result, a black light flashed before his eyes, and large ancient texts and pictures appeared one after another in front of his eyes.
"Jade slip", Bai Ran murmured secretly, looking too shocked.
This object may be a specially made jade slip, which was also his prior conjecture.
So he suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to study each word carefully.
"Xuanyin Dafa"
After reading only the familiar words in the first half, Bai Ran was completely sure of the content of the formula.
Although he has never practiced this famous magic technique, the "Blood Refining Divine Light" that he practiced in his avatar was completely derived from this technique, and there are naturally many similarities in content.
Therefore, after reading the previous methods, he came to this conclusion based on many similar cultivation methods.
And this rib-like jade slip is the so-called "Xuan Yin Sutra".
To be honest, Bai Ran was a little disappointed.
Now that he has practiced the Qingyuan Sword Technique, although the Xuanyin Technique is unusually overbearing and more powerful, he will not be stupid enough to re-learn this technique.
However, he did not immediately withdraw his spiritual consciousness from the Xuanyin Sutra, and continued reading sentence by sentence.
Because the second half of the Xuanyin Sutra also records some secret techniques of magic, but not all of them cannot be practiced.
As each of the incredible secret techniques was revealed one by one, Bai Ran's expression changed from disappointment to surprise, and gradually became mixed with a hint of solemnity. Finally, his entire face was filled with slight excitement.
The power of these secret techniques is truly incredible.
He was confident that if he could practice the Qingyuan Sword Technique to the ninth level, and combined with the secret techniques he could cultivate in the Xuanyin Sutra, he would still be no match for the Nascent Soul monks, but he would still have a chance to escape with his life saved.
When you encounter old monsters like Jiyin, you can no longer just obediently destroy them without any way to deal with them!
Among these secret techniques, Jiyin Patriarch's "Tiandu Corpse Fire" is among them. As for the "Tiandu Demon Corpse", it is just a refined corpse incidentally produced during the practice of this secret technique.
It's a pity that this kind of secret technique must be based on Xuanyin Dafa and must be practiced at the Nascent Soul stage or above. Otherwise, he would be interested in trying it.
After all, he had witnessed the power of Tiandu Corpse Fire with his own eyes, and it was indeed extremely sharp.
But even so, the weakness of Tiandu Corpse Fire is still clearly revealed from the training formula.
When Bai Ran saw it, he sneered in his heart!
If Ji Yin uses this demonic fire against him next time, he will definitely shock him!
After looking at it for a while, Bai Ran memorized two or three secret techniques that he liked and could be practiced during the elixir formation period. He planned to start practicing them when he has time.
Bai Ran carefully put away the small ribs that concealed the Xuanyin Sutra. Bai Ran was very satisfied with this harvest, and still felt a little uncontrollable excitement in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, he touched the Xutian Cauldron in the storage bag, and his desire to explore became hot.
He immediately set off and headed towards the secret room of the cave.
If he can open the Xutian Cauldron in one go, let alone the Heaven-Building Pill, even if he can get a few more ancient treasures, his strength will be greatly increased.
With this idea in mind, in addition to observing the golden silkworms once a day, Bai Ran held the small tripod and studied day and night, and searched various older classics from time to time to see if he could find it.
A way to open the cauldron.
Unfortunately, half a month later, Bai Ran, who had racked his brains and tried all means, had to admit that the Xutian Cauldron, known as the number one secret treasure in the Chaos Star Sea, was indeed not something he could open at the pill-forming stage.
This tripod is really amazing!
Not to mention the fire and flood, Bai Ran tried all the magic weapons and ancient treasures, but could not leave even a trace on the cauldron wall. He collected a trace of the evil-fighting divine thunder that had just been recovered from the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, and shot the cauldron.
On, there is also no response.
As for other incredible ways to open the cauldron, Bai Ran also tried them all, but naturally they were all in vain.
In the end, Bai Ran could only give up and put the small tripod back into the storage bag.
As for the dry blue beads that Bai Ran suspected might be closely related to opening the Xutian Cauldron, he did not dare to touch them easily.
The dry blue ice flame is an existence that even the old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage are extremely afraid of.
Before his cultivation reached the late stage of pill formation or before he formed the Nascent Soul, he had no idea of manipulating and refining this bead.
Bai Ran still has this bit of self-knowledge.
During this period, the condition of the two golden silkworms who had taken the five-color round beads was still the same as before, with no major reaction. It seemed that the medicinal properties had not been exerted yet.
Instead, the tens of thousands of gold-eating bugs in another insect room finally began to devour each other on a large scale. It seemed that new gold-eating bug eggs were about to be born, which made Bai Ran very happy.
The next thing he has to do now is to refining the crystals he obtained from the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords on the lava road. He has no intention of wasting any of them and is preparing to refine the crystals into the flying sword bit by bit.
among.
In this way, although his Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword cannot be said to be indestructible, there are really only a handful of things in this world that can destroy it.
This will be of great benefit to him in future battles with high-level monks.
However, the refining of this crystal is an absolutely laborious task.
Based on the special material of this object, although there is no detailed description in the classics, Bai Ran estimates that it will take at least half a year to slowly refine this crystal with the help of the magic circle.
If halfway through the refining process, the magic power suddenly becomes insufficient and cannot be maintained, the crystal will be completely destroyed.
This is no joke!
If he had only been in the early stages of pill formation, he would not have taken the risk even with the help of various elixirs.
But now that he has ten thousand years of spiritual fluid, even though he had used part of it before, the rest means that he no longer has to worry about running out of mana.
On the contrary, considering that you will encounter a lot of dangers when you are about to go out to sea to hunt monsters, the sharper the magic weapon is, the better.
In this way, it is inevitable to re-refining the flying sword!
