Compared with the changes in appearance, Xu Junming paid more attention to the inner world, especially the souls of the eight babies. Through the bronze mirror, it can be clearly seen that compared with the original dullness, the expressions on the faces of the eight babies have become more agile.
The originally young body has also grown up a lot.
Obviously, Black Dog's innate breakthrough has greatly nourished these symbiotic souls.
However, injuries to the soul are the most difficult to repair, not to mention that these babies are all born with soul injuries, so repairing them is particularly difficult.
Fortunately, they are symbiotic with the black dog's soul. Unless Xu Junming can overcome the disaster and become an immortal, it will be difficult to repair it.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Now that the black dog's cultivation had increased and could repair their souls, Xu Junming felt relieved.
He has many methods so that Black Dog can continuously improve his cultivation.
"master!"
A familiar yet unfamiliar soul wave appeared in Xu Junming's sea of consciousness.
Seeing the clear intelligence in the black dog's eyes, Xu Junming nodded.
"I will seal the remaining medicinal power of the Three Yellow Pills in your Dantian, and you will slowly refine it when you practice in the future."
"Thank you, sir."
The mind of the newly born spiritual black dog is similar to that of an eleven or twelve-year-old child. He is still very naive, but he already understands the truth.
"You're welcome. However, you swallowed the pill carelessly this time and almost died from an explosion. You have to be punished."
"Niu Kui!"
The Kui Niu standing next to him hurriedly stepped forward. Its true form was Kui Niu, and its name was "Niu Kui" given to him by Xu Junming.
"Please give me your instructions."
"You keep an eye on it, and when its cultivation is stable, put it in confinement for three days."
"Woooo...!"
The black dog's face showed a look of begging for mercy.
However, Xu Junming is not soft-hearted, and not punishing someone for making a mistake is connivance. Although the mistake was made by Black Dog before his intelligence was fully developed, this is not a reason for forgiveness.
"I know, Master, I'll take care of it."
I've been almost pissed off by this black dog these past few days, and Kui Niu is eager to teach this cunning guy a lesson.
However, although Kui Niu is careless, he always does things in a measured manner. If you leave the black dog to him, there won't be any big problems.
"When it comes out of seclusion, give him these two spiritual weapons."
Xu Junming waved his hand casually, and handed over a Hutian Talisman of the spiritual weapon level and a Netherworld Flag made from the Netherworld Bone Flag as a sample to Kui Niu.
It's not that he doesn't want to give the black dog a better treasure, it's just that it's just a newborn, and it can use spiritual weapons, magic weapons, and spiritual treasures even if it's pushed to death, and it won't even be used once if it's drained dry.
"Yes, sir."
Xu Junming nodded and walked out.
After leaving the Spiritual Beast Courtyard, Xu Junming walked to Tiangong Hall.
The scenery inside the Heavenly Palace remains unchanged.
It is a thousand feet high and eight hundred feet in diameter, shaped like an octagonal pagoda.
This octagonal pagoda is dotted with large and small stone niches from top to bottom. According to different areas, different spiritual materials, magic weapons, and refined elixirs are stored.
There are eight lotus pedestals surrounding the pagoda, seven of which are empty. The only one occupied is Xu Junming's puppet, the monk Zhikong.
Throwing it away casually, a large black iron umbrella nearly ten feet long flew into the Tiangong Divine Furnace.
This umbrella is the Tianluo umbrella that Xu Junming refined earlier.
Nowadays, this Lingbao, which is mainly based on the Formation Dao and supplemented by the Talisman Dao, has become a lot more useless as Xu Junming has more and more Lingbao in his hands and is getting stronger and stronger.
Even so, as one of the few formation spirit treasures in his hands, Xu Junming did not intend to give up.
The Tianluo Umbrella flew into the Lotus Furnace of Tiangong Divine Furnace and soon fell into the scorching flames.
Xu Junming stretched out his hand and a piece of Ten Thousand Refined Spiritual Iron plundered from the Dragon Palace treasure house flew into the Tiangong Divine Furnace.
Ten Thousand Refining Spiritual Iron is the main material for refining metallic immortal weapons. Although Xu Junming's piece of spiritual iron is called "Ten Thousand Refining", it actually only has nine thousand nine hundred refinings.
However, the richness of the Xinjin spiritual energy contained in it is the best in this world.
If you want to refine the Tianluo Umbrella again, only this spiritual iron is not enough.
Xu Junming stretched out his hand and pointed, and countless talismans began to gather in the umbrella.
At his level, quantity is no longer decisive. No matter how many Dongzhen-level spiritual talismans there are, they cannot compare to one Dongming-level spiritual talisman.
Therefore, in addition to enhancing the strength of the innate Bagua formation on the Tianluo Umbrella umbrella, the second most important step in retraining the Tianluo Umbrella is to turn hundreds of thousands of Dongzhen, Dongxuan, and Big Cave level talismans into Dongming level
of talismans.
This is a big project and it won't be over for a while.
In addition, in addition to Qiankun Xunzhen, Kanli Gendui, and eight kinds of spiritual talismans, the spiritual talismans in the Tianluo Umbrella also include Hutian, Good Fortune and other different attributes. Although these spiritual talismans cannot increase the power of the Tianluo Umbrella, they cannot increase the power of the Tianluo Umbrella.
give up.
While Xu Junming was practicing, he was revising the spiritual taboo of the Tianluo Umbrella that he had sketched in his mind.
This training lasted two years.
Because the original Tianluo Umbrella is a spiritual treasure, after re-sacrifice, there is no need to survive the tribulation.
However, compared to the previous one, the newly trained Tianluo Umbrella has been shortened from the previous one to four feet.
The slightly wrinkled black umbrella cover shines with a faint mysterious light and has a simple and unpretentious atmosphere. Although it looks inconspicuous, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this umbrella is extraordinary.
After weighing it in his hand for a moment, Xu Junming opened the umbrella ribs.
The internal structure has not changed much.
In the middle is the main rib, which is slightly thicker than an adult's thumb, and on both sides are eight auxiliary ribs that are much thinner.
The nine umbrella ribs are all made of black 9900 refined iron, which looks extremely hard and tough.
This iron umbrella looks similar to an ordinary umbrella, but the real mystery lies in what is invisible to the naked eye.
Like eight auxiliary umbrella ribs, each one contains nine Dongming-level spiritual talismans.
These talismans correspond to the eight different attributes of 'Qiankun Xunzhen and Kanli Gendui'.
In addition, after Xu Junming combined the redundant spiritual talismans into higher-grade spiritual talismans, the Tianluo Umbrella was eliminated.
After this sacrificial practice, Tianluo Umbrella's original hodgepodge of spiritual talismans has now become more unified, and its power is naturally stronger.
In two years, more than just a spiritual treasure has changed.
The black dog has also advanced to the late stage of Xiantian, and with the spiritual treasure given by Xu Junming, he has a certain ability to protect himself.
Xu Junming moved the bronze mirror and looked at the dark red blood in the black dog's body, clearly feeling a ghostly aura from it.
"The bloodline of the Netherworld Dog is even stronger."
The black dog shook his head, "Master, since my bloodline is stronger, why haven't I awakened my innate magical powers yet? Moreover, I still haven't figured out why the souls of these eight brats are symbiotic with mine.
."
It's not the only one who hasn't figured it out. Even Xu Junming still hasn't figured out why the souls of the eight babies can coexist with the soul of the black dog.
However, he was certain that this must be related to the awakened Nether Dog bloodline in the black dog's body.
As for whether it was true or not, he couldn't be 100% sure now. He would only wait until Black Dog's strength got closer before looking at it.
After letting the black dog go, Xu Junming left Chongshan Residence where he had stayed for two years. When he reappeared in the outside world, it was a suburb with lush trees.
After he wiped out all the demons above Nascent Soul in Fuyu Country, he left there.
Buyeo is not the only country in the East China Sea.
This vast ocean of nearly a million miles is dotted with countless islands and hundreds of countries, large and small.
Larger countries are like Buyeo, with a land area of nearly a thousand miles and tens of millions of people.
A smaller country may only have an island a hundred miles away, with only a few thousand people under its rule.
Xu Junming is now located in a maritime country called Dayu State, which is hundreds of miles away from Fuyu State.
Dayu Kingdom is slightly larger than Buyeo Kingdom, but there are several more plains on the island, so the population is quite large. In addition, several generations of kings have worked hard to govern, and the people are relatively rich.
After arriving here, Xu Junming originally planned to continue traveling, but after taking the blood squeezed from the demons in Fuyu, his physical cultivation reached the breakthrough point, so he temporarily stopped here and returned to Chongshan Residence.
Later, he broke through to the seventh level of Tiangang Realm in martial arts. He took advantage of the opportunity to improve his cultivation quickly after breaking through. He practiced in Chongshan Center for a period of time. Later, he had to refine treasures and raise dogs. It took him more than four years to come out.
Looking at the road at the foot of the mountain, Xu Junming waved, and the Kui Niu and the black dog flew out.
Kui Niu transformed into an ordinary green bull and carried Xu Junming to the foot of the mountain, followed by the black dog. This slightly weird group walked forward in a swaying manner.
Pedestrians walking on the official road turned their heads from time to time to look at this strange combination.
"Tsk tsk" he said a few words of praise, then turned around and left.
However, there are also people who like dogs. After seeing the extremely handsome black dog, they approached Xu Junming and were willing to pay a high price to buy the black dog.
Whenever he encountered such a person, without Xu Junming opening his mouth, the black dog would become furious, baring his sharp teeth, barking loudly, and driving these guys away mercilessly with his strong body.
Fortunately, he knew his master's nature, so he didn't really hurt anyone.
The further we go, the thicker the water vapor becomes.
Soon the sound of rushing water flowed into the eardrums.
Not long after, a large river twenty or thirty feet wide came into view.
A river a hundred meters wide is no longer small.
In terms of productivity in ancient times, unless there were practitioners taking action, there would be no way to build a bridge on such a river.
However, even if practitioners can do it, they will not waste their precious mana and spiritual materials for the mud-legged people.
When Xu Junming came over with Kui Niu and Black Dog, a small town appeared in his eyes.
It is said to be a town, but in fact its size is more like a village, with only a few houses in total.
Calling it a village, there are many things here that are not available in the village.
Such as inns, restaurants, horse and carriage shops, ferries for people to cross rivers, etc.
Although the place is not big, there are many people and it is very lively.
"Sir, Lao Niu, I smell the aroma of roast chicken." Kui Niu's divine consciousness said.
"Woof woof!"
"Old Hei, can't you speak?"
"Master Dog, I always feel that the barking can better reflect the urgency of Master Dog, I am eager to eat roast chicken."
Hearing these words, Xu Junming shook his head secretly.
It is said that "those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black." This sentence is really appropriate when applied to black dogs.
The originally loyal black dog became completely like Kui Niu after being taught a lesson by Kui Niu.
The two guys are now very lazy and greedy, and they have a special liking for roast chicken and wine.
"Barking is a sign of lower animals, speaking is the sign of a practitioner." He looked at the black dog with disdain, "When you bark again in the future, don't stand with me, old cow, I can't afford to embarrass that person."
"
When the black dog heard this, he became angry instantly.
"Stupid cow, you humiliate me."
"Yes, that's right. Bite me if you can!"
Seeing the pride on the green cow's face, although the black dog wanted to bite it, it was a late-stage congenital dog and was not even qualified to carry someone's shoes in front of Kui Niu, a second-level Yuan Shen cow.
The black dog rolled his eyes and ran to Xu Junming. He felt like he was about to cry and said aggrievedly.
"Master, this old cow is bullying me."
Xu Junming twitched the corner of his mouth. This kind of trick like 'crying wolf' has been played by black dogs many times. If Xu Junming still falls for it, then he is really a stick.
"Gungun, don't trouble me with such nonsense in the future."
After defeating the black dog with a wave of his hand and letting it quarrel with the green cow, the group of people gradually walked into the town.
A dozen two-story village shops built with rough logs became clearer.
Business travelers from afar, carrying cargo or driving carriages, walked into the courtyard behind the inn or restaurant.
Xu Junming used a method to cover his eyes. After avoiding the eyes of everyone, Kui Niu instantly turned into a human form, but the black dog had nothing to do.
Having awakened the bloodline of the Nether Dog, it would need at least a golden elixir or even a Nascent Soul to transform into another form.
The waiter who opened the door to welcome customers saw Xu Junming and hurriedly came over to greet him.
"Master Taoist, please come in...!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Kui Niu walking in from behind. He was tall, with a lion's nose and a wide mouth, resembling a giant man.
He was instantly enveloped by a tall figure, and a feeling of fear involuntarily arose in his heart.
Before the fear disappeared, a large black dog about half a man tall walked in slowly behind the giant man.
Dogs were not allowed to enter the restaurant, but looking at the huge size of the black dog, the boy didn't have the courage to stop him.
"Then open your mouth and you're not afraid of biting my arm off in one bite."
Thinking of this, he trembled in his heart. Seeing that the group of people seemed to be headed by the Taoist leader, he quickly ran over. However, the fear in his heart made him go around to Xu Junming's left side.
And on the right is the big black dog that jumped up on the bench, with two thick front paws lying on the table, and its deep eyes staring at him.
"Tao... Taoist Master, eat... what do you want to eat?"
Although he asked this question, the young waiter still focused more on the black dog, fearing that it would suddenly rush up and bite him.
"Don't worry, my dog doesn't want people."
Xu Junming smiled and comforted.
The waiter swallowed.
"Tao...Master, how did you raise this dog? This head is too big."
"Haha, Taoism always has some abilities that are different from ordinary people."
The waiter admired him and said: "The Taoist Master is indeed a Taoist master and has real abilities."
In response to the compliment, he smiled without hesitation.
"Bring us all your specialty dishes, your roast chicken, and your good wine."
After saying that, he spread out his left hand and placed twenty taels of silver on the table.
"You take these first. If they are not enough, we will make up for them later."
When the waiter saw the silver, his eyes lit up. He was no longer afraid and picked up the silver excitedly.
"Don't worry, the roast chicken and old wine in our store are the best in Jindian County. I guarantee you won't regret it and will want to eat it again."
"Since it's delicious, go get it quickly and don't be nagging," Kui Niu said.
"Okay, I'll go right away. You two gentlemen, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
"Remember to add more meat, we can all eat it."
"I understand. Don't worry, gentlemen, our store doesn't have much else, it just has a lot of meat."
