Xianlu

Chapter 104

After counting all the spiritual objects obtained from the Black Mountain, Xu Dao found that he had become very rich.

As long as he sells the spirit item in his hand again, he can get at least fifteen thousand talismans, plus what he already has, the total is thirty-seven thousand.

Even if he needs to share some money with You Bing, he still has [-] left.

In the Temple of Bone Bones, the monthly salary of Taoists in the early stage was ten talisman coins, in the middle period it was [-] talisman coins, and in the later period it was [-] talisman coins.

This amount of talisman money is the salary of Taoists in the later period for 45 years, and it is the salary of Taoists in the middle period for 90 years.

"With so much talisman money, it shouldn't be a problem to cultivate to the late stage of Qi refining."

Thinking of this, Xu Dao realized that he would no longer be short of talisman money to use in the future, and he couldn't help but feel very happy.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xu Dao frowned again.He was holding the three-legged ghost fire flag, and with a sudden shake, several mayflies were released from the flag.

These gnats are all qi refining grade gnats. They grew up to the size of a baby's fist in Montenegro, like birds.But when it appeared in Xu Dao's eyes at this moment, his aura was wilted and his demonic aura was scattered.

There is no other reason, the lack of blood and food required by the mayflies.

In Montenegro, because of the rich aura and numerous ghosts.

The gnats bred millions of people in a short period of time, but when they left the Black Mountain, the aura of the outside world was low, and now the Baigu Mountain was closed, and there were few living things outside the cave, and the gnats ran out of food for a while.

Fortunately, the mayflies are born to eat spirits, and they can feed themselves by directly swallowing spiritual energy, eating trees and clods of soil, but in this way, 12 mayflies at the level of refining qi are easy to use, and it is really laborious to feed them .

Among the 12 gnats, there are [-] gnats in the middle stage of qi refining, and [-] gnats in the early stage of qi refining.

To keep the concentration of their evil energy unchanged and not decrease, it is calculated that [-] mayflies are equivalent to one Taoist.

With 12 qi-refining level gnats, the daily spiritual energy required is equivalent to that of three middle-stage Taoists and nine early-stage Taoists, and the food intake of cockroaches is also amazing, adding up to at least five talisman coins per day.

Such a number may not seem much at first glance, but when the days add up, at least 150 talisman money will be consumed in a month, and 1800 talisman money in a year.

When Xu Dao practiced these days, he seldom cared about these mayflies, so he often ignored them, so that they could only rely on their own aura to survive.

But in Xu Dao's cave, although there is spiritual energy and a small branch of the spiritual vein, the Nissan's spiritual energy is barely enough for Xu Dao to use, so how can he support 12 mayflies?
And Taoists may be able to refine qi by swallowing sunlight and moonlight, so that their cultivation base will not decline, but this thing is different. Ordinary gnats can still only eat flesh, grass and trees, but gnats of the qi refining level must eat spiritual energy, otherwise they will eat aura. The evil spirit in the body will gradually dissipate.

From this, Xu Dao also realized a major drawback of Nanke Anyu.

He sighed slightly, and said in his heart: "No wonder this thing multiplies so fast and is somewhat famous in the world, but it has never had a big limelight, nor has it caused disasters. It turns out that it relies too much on spiritual energy."

If there is no aura, the Nanke gnats are just ordinary bugs, no matter how many there are, they will not do much harm to Taoists, monsters and other things.

At the same time, he was still thinking in his heart:

"I heard that the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth was much stronger in the past than it is now. Although the people in the previous immortal way breathed in the essence of the sun and the moon, they did not use this as the main method of refining energy, but lived directly by breathing in the spiritual energy between the heaven and the earth. "

"Now that the aura of the earth and the earth is thin, Taoists have begun to focus on refining the essence of the sun and the moon, supplemented by the aura of the heavens and the earth."

Taking Xu Dao as an example, he is now on the verge of the late stage of Qi refining, he can not only swallow the moonlight, but also the sunflower.

Because of the continuous flow of sun and moon essence, as long as Xu Dao gets enough sun and moon every day, he can guarantee that his cultivation base will not regress.

But the effect of refining qi like this is too low, far less enjoyable than refining spiritual qi.

If Xu Dao wants to continue to increase his true energy and improve his morality on the basis of not regressing in his cultivation, he'd better absorb additional spiritual energy and refine it into true energy.

But his subordinate Nanke Moyu is different from him. He lives by eating spirits. Even if he doesn't do anything every day, just to maintain his own concentration of monster energy, he still has to swallow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

That is to say, the mayhem will consume talisman money, and the speed of consuming money is faster than that of Xu Dao.

"It seems that although I got a windfall, the expenses everywhere are not small. I am afraid that the reason why the patriarch of the Shezhao family used the eggs of Nanke's gnats as tokens instead of hatching and using them may be because they knew This thing is a gold-selling beast, and I can't afford it."

Xu Dao sighed softly, and he suddenly realized that although more than 3 talismans were a lot of money, it might be barely enough for him to reach the late stage of Qi Refining.

Staring at the dying, half-dead gnat in his hand, Xu Dao had a thought. He took a batch of unusable spiritual objects from around and threw them in front of the gnat.

Without Xu Dao's order, even though the mayflies were so hungry, they never made any movement towards the spiritual creature in front of them.When the thought of Xu Dao's permission fell, the few mayflies began to feast on it.

Ka Ka Ka!In a few breaths, the hungry mayfly gnawed away several spiritual plants, and at the same time, the evil spirit on his body solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After waiting for a while, these mayflies returned to their original state, no different from the appearance when they first came out of Montenegro.

Xu Dao rejoiced for a moment, "Fortunately, the concentration of the evil spirit has not fallen below, so you can eat it directly."

Although the Nanke mayfly has a special physique, as long as enough spiritual energy is consumed, a newborn mayfly can grow to the level of an ant king in a short period of time.

But just like Taoist practice, there is a bottleneck. If a gnat wants to undergo a qualitative change, such as changing from an ordinary gnat to a monster with monster aura, or growing from a monster in the early stage of qi refining to a mid-stage qi refining, each breakthrough will cost Huge aura, far beyond the ordinary.

Xu Dao teased the hungry mayflies in his hands, and then used the magic of capturing objects to take out the temporarily unused and not very rare parts from the spiritual objects all over the ground.

He piled them together, then shook the streamer in his hand slightly, and directly absorbed the pile of spirits into the streamer.

The space inside the three-legged ghost fire banner is not small, it is as large as a small building, and the breath inside can flow with the outside world. After stuffing 12 mayflies, there is still a lot of free space.

But as soon as many spiritual creatures entered the banner, the three-legged ghost fire banner trembled in Xu Dao's hands.

Crackling!And there was a faint sound of gnawing.

This is the swarm of mayflies and insects in the banner finally got enough rations, and they scrambled to eat bitterly, causing the banner to shake immediately.

Aware of the joy conveyed by the mayflies and the recovery of their demonic aura, Xu Dao smiled lightly on his face.

Now in his hands, apart from the sword box which can be used once, these group of gnats are the most powerful and his greatest reliance.

Although Xu Dao disliked them for eating too much, he still had to offer what should be offered, and he must not send hungry soldiers.

But when he came back to his senses, Xu Dao looked around and found that a large part of the spiritual objects on the ground was missing, and his naked eyes still showed pain.

Xu was very hungry, very hungry, and although the spiritual object had aura, it was not as good as the talisman money of the same price. Just at that moment, Nanke Moyu swallowed his spiritual object worth nearly [-] talisman money.

"Three hundred talisman coins... When I entered the Wind Cave in the past, I was very happy to be able to withdraw more than 300 Dao Gong in advance, but now I just spend so much on feeding Gu worms."

Xu Dao was stunned for a moment, but when he thought about going back every month in the future, his heart ached even more.

But after thinking about it, he had to warn himself: "From now on, I'll be honest and feed him every few days, so as not to get hungry and spend more money."

At the same time, he thought to himself, if there is a way to make his gnats not have to spend money, but can make money instead.

After thinking about it for a moment, Xu Dao shook his head to get rid of all distracting thoughts.

He raised the banner magic weapon in his hand again, placed it on his knees, and looked it up.

This time it was taken from Fang Guanhai, whose original name was the three-legged ghost fire banner.

During these days of retreat in the cave, during Xu Dao's leisure time to polish his true energy, he was contemplating and nurturing this banner.

Through these days of research, he has mastered the specific effects of the flag, and at the same time the whole flag has been thoroughly refined by him, both inside and outside of the flag are soaked in his true energy, stamped with his mark, able to Feel free to use it.

The three-legged ghost fire streamer is composed of a pole that looks like gold and wood, and a roll of black-colored streamer. Both the pole and the streamer are carved and woven with many mysterious rune imprints, making the whole streamer large and small.

For the big one, the poles of the flags form a column, and the height can be several feet, and the surface of the flags can be stretched to cover the four directions, which is as large as the storage space inside.

The small ones can be shrunk to the size of a palm and inserted on the top of the Taoist's head like a hairpin.

When Xu Dao saw this banner for the first time before, it was Fang Guanhai who was driving the three-legged ghost fire crow and spit it out from the ghost fire crow's belly. He shrunk the banner and hid it in the ghost fire crow's stomach.

At the same time, the function of the banner has nothing to do with the name, it can't release ghost fire to burn the enemy.

Instead, after the banner is sacrificed, it can block the four directions, suppress the air, cover the enemy like a cage, and then exert coercion, and even directly imprison people in the banner.

This is also the move that almost made Xu Dao's Yin God unable to escape.

The reason why Fang Guanhai named this banner "Three-legged Ghost Fire Banner" was simply because he used this banner to hold his own ghost beast - the three-legged ghost fire crow.

Xu Dao rubbed the flag, he felt the coolness on the pole, and stared at the flag.

On today's banners, the patterns on the banners have become small insects, which are exactly the mayflies that Xu Dao collected in the banners.

The small insects are densely packed, with vague shapes, covering the entire streamer, and their shapes are like patterns, making the whole streamer even more mysterious.

"Fang Guanhai called this banner the 'Three-legged Ghost Fire Crow', and now I have it, and it is equipped with a mayfly, so it is simply called the 'Pygmy Banner'."

After giving his family's magic weapon a new name, Xu Dao waved the banner and said:
"Big big, little little!"

He first turned the flag into a slender beam and propped it in the cave, and then harvested it into a four-inch size, and directly inserted it into his own hair bun, temporarily serving as a hairpin.

After leaving the customs, Xu Dao can also take off the gnat flag on the top, hold it in his hand, and walk around as a Taoist holding the flag.

After Haosheng sorted out everything he had gained in the Black Mountain, Xu Dao thought about it for a few moments, then closed his eyes again, and fell into the practice.

Although his true qi has been polished and proficient, and because he has not obtained the method of the late stage of qi refining, he cannot break through to the late stage of qi refining, but there is nothing to do.

Holding a few talisman coins in his hand, Xu Dao kept absorbing spiritual energy from them, breaking them down and refining them into true energy, trying his best to make his own true energy more pure and deeper.

………………

Time passed little by little.

For the rest of the day, Xu Dao continued to refine Qi and feed the mayflies as usual, and at the same time read some miscellaneous records of Taoism books to reconcile his body and mind.

During the period, he also sent gnats to carefully explore the outside of the cave, trying to understand the situation in the temple.

But the entire Temple of the White Bones has always been in a closed state, the Yin soldiers are running rampant in the mountains, and the bones are running around.

Even if the gnats escaped the inspection of these Taoist soldiers, they were still unable to enter the buildings of the Temple of Bones, and at the same time they could not leave the range of the mountain protection formation.

The entire White Bone Mountain and half of the mountain range are shrouded in formations, and the degree of strictness of the seal is far beyond that of the cockroaches.

Xu Dao simply extinguished his thoughts of understanding the outside world and devoted himself to hard work.

Suddenly, on the No. 40 nine days when he returned to the mountain, he was still in the state of cultivation today, obsessed with warming and nourishing the true energy in his body.

Moo!
A metal-like trembling sound sounded, as if it sounded in Xu Dao's ear, like Hong Zhong Da Lu.

Moreover, the voice was dignified and strangely released a reassuring feeling, which only woke up Xu Dao, but did not disturb his true energy.

At first Xu Daochu thought it was because of his own practice that he had hallucinations, so he hurriedly used the spell of clearing his heart to suppress distracting thoughts and calm his mind.

But after nine breaths, there was a moo!
The loud trembling sound resounded again, and Xu Dao was sure that he was not hallucinating. He hurriedly stopped work and turned off the engine, and opened his eyes in surprise.

Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Xu Dao waited, and after a few breaths, he heard the trembling sound just now, and recognized that it should be the ringing of bells.

This sound came from outside the cave, although his cave was equipped with a soundproof array, but it couldn't stop it at all.

At the same time, it seemed to sound in Xu Dao's heart, directly from his brain.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Dao looked towards the direction where the Temple of the Bone is located, and a thought popped into his mind:
"On the Dao Conference!"

He flipped his right hand, and a bright green fruit suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand. This fruit was exactly the Immortal Immortal Fruit he got from Fang Guanhai.

When the Taoist priests in Riguanzhong collected the spiritual objects, they did not take away the ascension fruit from the banner, but left it in the banner.

But there was no Taoist who listened to Xu Dao and told him how to refine the Immortal Ascension Fruit in his hand, or even use it to build a foundation.

At present, the Taoist temple is closed to the mountain, and the inside and outside are isolated. If the Taoist priests know the method of refining the fruit, they will probably tell everyone at the Dao Discussion Conference.

After thinking for a moment, a total of nine bells rang, and another sound echoed in Xu Dao's mind, continuously.

"Come back, come back!"

A vague voice sounded, like an old man muttering and chanting scriptures, mooing and shouting.
