Inside the wooden house, the air was as hot as boiling.
In the middle, there is a hole four feet in diameter, with tongues of fire spitting out, releasing astonishing heat wantonly.
Three feet below the entrance of the cave, lava as red as fire rises and falls like the ocean tide.
From a distance, it looks like countless dragons and snakes are rolling around in it.
Above the cave entrance, a small mountain is suspended in the sky.
The hill is nine feet high and eight feet wide at its widest point. The earth element's spiritual energy is extremely rich. Spirit patterns flash all over the body, and at the same time, seals fly out from Xu Junming's hands and sink into the interior of the hill.
Gradually, the spiritual light on the hilltop became more and more prosperous.
Xu Junming's eyes suddenly opened and he drank.
"rise!"
A ten-foot-wide cave entrance instantly appeared above the wooden house, leading directly to the five-foot peak cave sky outside.
The hilltop followed the entrance of the cave and flew out like lightning.
Dark clouds filled the sky, and in the blink of an eye, thunder gathered like a snake, and struck down with a 'bang'.
The calamity thunder struck the hill, like a forging hammer in the hands of a blacksmith, tempering the impurities in the earth spirit stone.
The second thunderbolt struck, the hill gradually shrank, and the gentle slope became steeper.
When the third calamity thunder descended, the hilltop suddenly burst into light and transformed into an octagonal tower nine feet high, three feet wide, and divided into four floors.
"It's done!"
Xu Junming was excited.
This is the second spiritual weapon he has personally practiced.
However, this spiritual weapon is not complete yet.
He flew back to the wooden house.
The octagonal tower fell back over the eye of fire.
He stretched out his hand and pointed, inside the first floor of the octagonal tower, the earthly spiritual energy gathered to form a lotus lamp holder that was more than a foot high.
Within the 'Red Fire Divine Light', the Ding Fire Qi that had not yet been refined flew into the lamp holder like a torrent.
Gradually, a lotus lantern with earthy yellow and dark red flames emerged.
Xu Junming slapped the magic bag, and the power of the earth's magnetism collected in the past month flew into the second floor of the octagonal tower. The magnetic force continued to compress, and gradually formed a ruler that was black in color and about three feet long.
The third layer of Shaoyin energy condensed and turned into a fiercely roaring flag.
However, compared to the oil lamp on the first floor and the black ruler on the second floor, the aura is much weaker.
The fourth layer of golden aura gathers and gradually turns into an iron rope.
After these four magical instruments were condensed and formed, a plaque appeared on the outside between the first and second floors of the octagonal tower, and three seal characters glowing with yellow aura emerged.
"Emperor Tower!"
Xu Junming nodded with satisfaction as he looked at this natal spiritual weapon that he had painstakingly cultivated and was born according to the Earthly Emperor's Way.
"It's a pity that my understanding of the 'Earth Emperor's Way' is not enough. The magnetic ruler condensed with the power of the earth's magnetism, the lotus lantern condensed with the energy of Dinghuo, the golden lock condensed with the spiritual energy of Xinjin, and the Xuanshao that condensed with the energy of Shaoyin.
The Yin flag is not yet a spiritual weapon, otherwise it will be able to derive a second spiritual ban."
"Try its power!"
Xu Junming was eager to give it a try and stretched out his hand.
The Earth Emperor Tower fell towards the eye of fire, and the raging flame magma inside was sucked up. The Earth Emperor Tower sparkled with spiritual light, the earth element aura was absorbed and refined by the tower body, the gas of Ding Fire nourished the lotus lantern, and the magnetic ruler absorbed the power of the earth's magnetism.
, the Fumo Golden Lock absorbed the Xinjin spiritual energy.
Every time a piece of earth fire magma is refined, the Earth Emperor Tower and its four magic weapons will be strengthened by one point.
At the same time, the earth fire magma in the fire eye will be reduced by one point.
The longer the time passes, the smaller the threat of the Fire Eye becomes.
If it takes a hundred years, this flaming eye will no longer be a threat.
At that time, he will not only obtain a powerful natal spiritual weapon, but also receive great merits from heaven.
The joy gradually dissipated, and regret crept into Xu Junming's heart.
Although the Earth Emperor Tower is powerful, it must stay here to suppress the Fire Eye. Unless the threat of the Fire Eye is completely eliminated, he cannot take this spiritual weapon away.
I watched in trance for a moment.
"Wuji, I will leave this Earth Emperor Tower to you."
Ren Wuji nodded.
He wants to stay and guard the Fire Eye, so the responsibility of guarding and cultivating the Earth Emperor Tower will naturally fall on him.
After thinking about it, Xu Junming took out the Tianluo Umbrella from the magic bag and handed it over.
"I will also leave this umbrella to you. As long as you continue to practice for a while, you can be promoted to a spiritual weapon. With it, with the power of the formation, as well as the two spiritual weapons of the Earth Emperor Tower and the Yin and Yang Great Mill, you can meet the golden elixir
You can resist it in the mid-term. In this way, I can leave with peace of mind."
Guarding the fire eye is of great importance, and Xu Junming must try his best to ensure that it is as foolproof as possible.
After handing the Tianluo Umbrella to Ren Wuji, Xu Junming took one last look at the Wuzhang Peak Cave Sky.
He activated the formation and came outside.
The former Wuzhang Peak has been moved to the underground fire eye by Xu Junming, and now only a small lonely temple remains in its place.
He looked around and sighed slightly.
For peace of mind, Lu Pan was left behind.
You must know that when he was trained by him from the Bronze Armored Corpse Sacrifice to his own Dharma Protector General, Lu Pan had already opened up fifteen Earth Evil acupuncture points, and his strength was better than that of a monk with a third level of Golden Pill.
Later, he swallowed the mother cold flame bug and the blood of nine thousand cave-like cold flame bugs, opening up eighteen more earth evil acupuncture points.
The practice of the third round of Tiangang Nine Rounds is nearly half completed.
Although his cultivation level is only in the middle stage, his strength is unparalleled, his energy and blood are strong, and his fighting ability is no less than that of a monk at the sixth level of the Golden Core.
This is the most powerful bodyguard around him.
Now I can't count on this bodyguard.
A fire eye captured two spiritual weapons from him, a clone of the early stage of the golden elixir, a protective god general equivalent to the middle stage of the golden elixir, and a Tianluo umbrella that would soon be upgraded to a spiritual weapon.
More than half of my strength is left here.
"I'm back to before liberation. But as long as nothing happens to the fire eye, that's enough."
He didn't believe that the person behind Ito Hanako could use a late-stage Jindan monk to detonate the Fire Eye.
As long as this is not the case, this flaming eye will be infallible.
After being completely relieved, Xu Junming rubbed his hands together to make a whistle and blew hard, and the melodious whistle resounded through the sky.
Not long after, a blue lightning flew from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, a six-foot-long bluebird landed lightly on Xu Junming's left shoulder.
"Whoosh...!"
Patted it on the head.
"I know you work hard to practice, so I'll give you this green wood staff!"
Taking out the wooden stick from the bag of magic, the blue bird chirped happily, and sprayed out a stream of wood spiritual power, wrapping the wooden stick. After a little practice, the wooden stick slowly shrank and flew into its mouth.
After smiling, Xu Junming turned around and looked at the six guardian generals who came out from behind.
"Go ahead and do your work. But remember, we are only chasing corpses buried in the northeast."
The guardian generals nodded and turned to leave.
Seeing their figures disappear, Xu Junming was about to leave when he saw an extremely tall and muscular figure running over on the dirt road in the distance, taking long strides.
Although his body is majestic, his speed is not slow.
When the visitor saw Xu Junming, his expression was overjoyed and his pace accelerated a bit.
When he came closer, he pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillar, and he knelt down with a "bang". His heavy body made the ground tremble.
Xu Junming turned around and quickly got out of the way.
Looking at this man, who was half a head taller than him, and somewhat similar to the Kunlun Moleh in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" that he had seen in his previous life, Xu Junming was about to ask the other party's identity when he heard the other party say happily and solemnly.
"Disciple Qin Zhong, pay homage to my mentor!"
After saying this, he was about to kowtow. Xu Junming flicked his sleeves and held him up with a secret force, then frowned slightly.
"Did you admit the wrong person? I have never accepted a disciple like you."
"Master has forgotten that three years ago you asked Uncle Liu to hand over a set of Four Elephant Palms to your disciple."
Xu Junming pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered.
"Are you the idiot from Tanhua Village?"
"It's the disciple!"
Qin Zhong looked happy and nodded repeatedly.
"So, Liu Dehua told you that I am here?"
"Yes. I have been waiting here for almost three months, looking forward to seeing you every day. God is so pitiful that I finally allowed this disciple to meet his mentor today."
Looking at his shabby green shirt and his face covered with dust, it is obvious that his food and accommodation are not good these days.
Most of the anger in my heart towards him for insisting that he was his master has also disappeared.
He took five taels of gold leaves from the magic bag and held them up with magic power and placed them in front of him.
"Take the money and go, you are not my disciple."
After saying that, Xu Junming was about to turn around and leave.
"I don't want money!!"
Dali still dropped the gold, he knelt forward and walked a few steps, looking excited.
"Master! It's been five years since you left Tanhua Village, and I've been asking for news about you everywhere. In the past five years, I've had to eat, carry big bags at the dock, pick up excrement for others, and do all the dirty work.
I've done all the work."
"In the past five years, I have traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River in order to become a disciple of Master. I hope you can accept me for the sake of my sincerity!!"
"Master...!!"
Xu Junming's body trembled, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly turned around.
Looking at Qin Zhong's rough face with tears streaming down his face and his unbearable excitement, he sighed.
"Why do you have to practice Taoism? Wouldn't it be wrong to take this gold and become a rich man in the secular world, so that your family will be filled with descendants?"
"No! After experiencing life and death in Tanhua Village, I have made up my mind not to care about wealth, nor to seek a wife or concubine, nor to have a family full of descendants. In this life, I must become a Taoist like Master and jump out of the world.
The cycle of life and death in this world, pursuing the great road."
His tone was decisive and his thoughts were so firm that Xu Junming was a little surprised.
With his current level of Soul Dao cultivation, it is impossible to hide whether a person says this from the bottom of his heart or just to show off his words.
"Escape from the cycle of life and death and pursue the great road?!... The ignorant are fearless. I would never dare to say such a thing."
He shook his head and looked at Qin Zhong with a hint of surprise on his face.
I hadn't noticed it before, but now I realized that he had actually broken through the innateness.
Although his foundation is still lacking, his Qi and blood are extremely strong, and he is indeed an innate-level martial artist.
"How did you achieve this innate talent?"
"Since the master taught the Four Elephants Palm, the disciple has been practicing hard every day, regardless of the cold or heat. For more than three years, he has never slacked off for a day. Only two months ago, he broke into the innate world with the five yellow bud pills given by Master Liu."
"Besides those five Huangya Dan pills, have you ever taken any other elixirs?"
"No!"
"Hold out your hand."
Liu Dehua quickly stretched out his hands, and his huge palms, like cattail leaf fans, were covered with thick calluses.
Xu Junming also practices martial arts himself, so he naturally knows how much hard work it takes to grind out such calluses. He took a few steps forward and reached out to touch Liu Dehua's elbows, shoulders and back.
I used my magic power to feel the condition inside his body and finally believed what he said.
The strength of Qi and blood can be faked, but the body cannot.
The foundation built by using elixirs and the foundation built by hard training are definitely two different physical states.
