Xianlu

Chapter 339
After Xu Dao listened to Zhuang Bufan's words, he fell into silence on the spot.

It's no wonder that all the way down his practice, he always had a faint feeling that the news of the practice circle in Wu State was blocked. It turned out that it was not his illusion, but that the entire Wu State was isolated from the world.

The thoughts in his heart were churning, Xu Dao thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized, he looked at the alchemy furnace and asked: "Then what is the situation in the foreign land boundary now? But it is the same as the saying on the market in Wu country?"

Suddenly there was a dry laugh in the pill furnace, Zhuang Bufan replied: "To be honest, I don't know much about this."

"The reason why I dared to say this to fellow Taoists with such certainty just now is because during the trip to the snow mountain, Pindao used the earth's veins and sky thunder to burst into the atmosphere layer and saw the world abroad with his own eyes. That's right. sure."

Zhuang Bufan continued to explain that among the group of foundation-building Taoist priests in Wu State, although there was a rumor that Wu State was a cage, there was no relevant evidence to prove it.

Coupled with the fact that the Taoist palace blocked the news intentionally or unintentionally, the number of Taoist priests who believed this was even smaller, and many Taoist priests under the age of one hundred had never even heard of this statement, just like Xu Dao.

Xu Dao asked a few more questions, and Zhuang Bufan answered truthfully, but the words in them were mostly deliberation and speculation, but judging from his attitude, it didn't seem like he was deliberately deceiving Xu Dao, it was probably true not sure.

This made Xu Dao frown.

For hundreds of years, no Taoists from abroad appeared, but when he and Zhuang Bufan traveled far away, they met two people from abroad, one of whom was a demon at the Golden Core level, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart.

Xu Dao couldn't think clearly by himself, so he simply cupped his hands at Zhuang Bufan and asked, "Brother Dao, is it related to the arrival of that foreign demon that Brother Dao's trip to refine the gang this time?"

He said sincerely: "Pin Dao always feels that something big is about to happen, and I hope Brother Dao will not hesitate to give pointers, so as not to accidentally lose his life in the upcoming turmoil."

The words were so straightforward that Zhuang Bufan didn't know how to answer for a while. The other party pondered a few times, thinking that he and Xu Dao had already had a life-and-death relationship, and that Xu Dao had already met with Taoist Jinlin, probably In the eyes of a Taoist, he belongs to his own people thoroughly.

Zhuang Bufan organized his speech, and first said with emotion: "The autumn wind is not moving, and the cicadas are aware of it, and the Taoist friends are vigilant."

As soon as Xu Dao heard this, he immediately felt something was going on, but then Zhuang Bufan didn't say anything naked.The other party did not dare to involve too many other characters, but only talked about things related to himself:

"In the beginning, if the Taoist priests in the state of Wu had finished condensing the evil spirits, they could often get the stellar qi they needed directly in the Taoist palace. The same is true for casual cultivators from outside."

"However, the quality of the evil spirit and stellar energy used in the realms of condensing evil spirits and refining gangs is related to whether they can form pills in the future, and the number and types of gangshas in the Taoist palace are limited, so there are still many Taoists who would rather spend Over time, I searched all over the sky for the suitable evil spirit and strong spirit."

"At the same time, with the passage of time, the consumption of Gangsha in the Taoist Palace has not increased, resulting in more and more Taoist priests trying to search for Gangsha on their own. The aspect of evil spirit is nothing, but the aspect of Gangqi is the key. I think If you want to collect, you can only go up to nine days, and enter the stellar gas layer to collect."

Zhuang Bufan paused, and said with emotion: "Actually, Pindao is not the first person to collect stellar energy by himself. Many people in the palace have tried it before, but they either couldn't find the stellar energy they needed. Either the harvesting failed and he was seriously injured, and he kept silent from now on, never revealed the specific process of harvesting, and simply never came back."

"It's just the luck of the poor, thanks to the blessings of the Taoist and fellow Taoists, this barely succeeded in refining the gang, and entered the realm of refining the gang."

After hearing such words, Xu Dao suddenly understood why Zhuang Bufan still looked cheerful after losing his body. It was not just that the other party's temperament had changed, but also because the other party was able to successfully enter the realm of refining gang , and the collection of the favorite stellar energy is already a big profit!
At the same time, Xu Dao was chewing on the other party's words, thinking to himself: "I am afraid that the number and types of gangsha in the Dao Palace are not decreasing, but have been exhausted, or the remaining ones are simply unusable. "

This made Xu Dao frown. In this case, when he was about to condense the evil spirit and refine the gang, the gangsha in the Taoist palace would probably not be counted on.

Xu Dao looked at Zhuang Bufan, and asked again: "Dare to ask, brother, are there many Taoist friends in the Taoist palace who have already achieved great success, but have never tried to refine the gangsters, and have always stayed where they are... For example, Chen Mendao long?"

The Taoist priest of the Chen family was the young Taoist priest who once welcomed Xu Dao to leave the fairy garden with Zhuang Bufan. The mana power of the other party also reached [-] years, which is a great achievement, but Xu Dao did not hear that the other party was eager to collect it. Gang Qi.

Zhuang Bufan was silent again for a moment, and then he replied with a dumbfounded smile: "Exactly."

The person also added: "And most of these Taoists are from my master-student lineage, such as those guys from the Wuzhao tribe, but few people can bear their temper, and they can't wait."

This answer gave Xu Dao a flash of inspiration, and he couldn't help asking about the situation of Taoist Jinlin again, and inadvertently asked the Taoist's current age.

Although no specific answer was obtained, what is certain is that Taoist Jin Lin is the oldest of the three Taoist masters in the palace.

In this way, a guess in Xu Dao's mind gradually became clear.

The three Taoist priests in the Taoist palace have all formed alchemy for a long time, and the lifespan of several Taoist priests may really be short.And if a Taoist wants to continue to prolong his life, a breakthrough is the best way.

But the current state of Wu is isolated from the world, and the country is closed to the outside world. The domestic cultivation resources are not enough for Taoists, let alone for Jindan Taoists.

Even if Xu Dao guessed wrong on this point, the foundation-building Taoist priests in the Taoist Palace were restricted by the qi and it was difficult to make progress. Even if the Jindan Taoist priests were not for themselves, they had to think about these disciples and grandchildren. Among them, Jinlin Taoist priest for the most.

In other words, the current state of Wu more and more needs to open its doors and reconnect with the outside world!
Xu Dao guessed that Taoist masters may have been discussing this matter many years ago, not just in recent years.Just judging from the incident of Zhuang Bufan's attack, most of the three Taoist masters had different opinions and disputes arose.

Now that Zhuang Bufan really relied on himself, successfully broke through to the Gang Sha layer, and picked up the Gang Qi from the outside world, it is likely to break the balance of this matter and make the dispute between the Taoists biased.

At the same time, Xu Dao's mind flashed again, remembering the relationship between the golden core demon and the Huanxi nun, he secretly said in his heart:

"I think it's not just the Taoist priests in the Wu Kingdom who want to break the closed state, but also the Taoists or demons in the outside world. It is one of the nine countries, and it is absolutely impossible that there is no news about it in the ears of outsiders."

The fact is just as Xu Dao thought, not only a group of people from the state of Wu headed by Daoist Jin Lin wanted to end the seclusion.

Many existences outside of Wu State have been coveting the territory of Wu State for a long time, racking their brains to blast open the 'gate' of Wu State, come in to travel or plunder.

The nun Huanxi who was beheaded by Xu Dao was sent by a golden elixir demon to sneak into Wu Guozhong as a spy and a vanguard.

The reason why Nun Huanxi is eager to complete the cultivation of the Sha Ning realm is because she wants to step into the Astral Refining Realm as soon as possible, reach the Stellar Qi layer like Zhuang Bufan, and communicate with the golden core demons outside.

Thinking of these, Xu Dao's mind suddenly tensed up.

In his opinion, there may be more than one or two Taoist priests who sneaked into the middle of the country of Wu like Huanxi Nun, maybe the whole country of Wu has been infiltrated into a plug.

It's just because the Wu Kingdom has three great golden alchemy Taoists sitting in the town, these outside Taoist priests dare not come out easily.

But with the passage of time, the cultivation of the Taoist priests who sneaked into Wu Guozhong improved, and sooner or later the situation of the entire Wu country will be known to the outside world.At that time, it will not be whether Wu Guo wants to open the country's gate on his own, but will be smashed by the Taoists or ghosts from the outside world.

A sense of urgency suddenly surged in Xu Dao's heart.

He originally thought that he broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at a young age, and his life expectancy is not long. Although he will not suspend his practice, he does not have to be as nervous as a Taoist life, and he can enjoy it more.

Who knew that a big storm was about to strike, as long as others were in Wu Guozhong, even if they returned to remote areas such as Sheshan, it would be difficult to escape.

The only thing that can make this kind of turmoil disappear is that the Taoist masters in the Taoist palace choose to continue to seclude the country. At the same time, in the eyes of the outside world, the Wu country is a barren place and it is not worth investing so much effort.

The latter is possible, but the former... Xu Dao himself disagreed.

He is still in the early stage of foundation establishment, and he doesn't need evil spirit and strong spirit, so he doesn't have much feeling for Wu's closed state.

But once he stepped into Ningsha, or even after Ningsha was consummated, he must have dreamed of getting out of the cage, picking up evil spirits, and traveling to other countries.

Xu Dao compares his heart with his heart, and judges that a group of Taoist priests like Chen Men who have not yet refined their strength but have already condensed their evil spirits will definitely spare no effort to push and open the "gate of the country"!
After all, according to Zhuang Bufan, those who self-refine Gang will either disappear and fail, or die suddenly.Now the only successful Zhuang Bufan, his body was destroyed and he was paralyzed.

If the door of the country is opened, even if the state of Wu is lost, the Taoist priests' mighty power belongs to themselves, and it is not that there is nowhere to go.Not to mention that there seems to be the same need for Jindan Daoist.

After much deliberation, Xu Dao found that the only thing that would allow him to survive the following turmoil was that he seized the time to practice and improve his Taoism as soon as possible, so that he would not follow the tide and be able to protect himself.

While Xu Dao was thinking, Zhuang Bufan in the five-color pill furnace was also "looking at" Xu Dao. From Xu Dao's various questions and reactions, he judged that Xu Dao probably guessed the upcoming storm.

Seeing Xu Dao groaning all the time, Zhuang Bufan comforted him and said, "Fellow Taoist, don't panic, it's still calm now, even if there is a strong wind, it won't be immediately. And you and I will practice well from now on. , Prepare more, compared to others, you have plenty of time."

"When the wind comes, there will be a greater chance of riding the wind."

Hearing the other party's comfort, Xu Dao came back to his senses, thinking that he was indeed lucky compared to other Taoists who didn't know.

And just as Zhuang Bufan said, if the accident happened after Xu Dao was ready, it would not be a storm for Xu Dao, but an opportunity to take off!
Exhaling a breath, Xu Dao looked serious, and saluted Zhuang Bufan in the alchemy furnace: "Thank you, Brother Dao, for your suggestion."

When Zhuang Bufan heard it, there was a sound of sword chanting and loud laughter, and he replied: "Good."

For the rest of the time, Xu Dao took care of the alchemy furnace while chatting with Zhuang Bufan in the furnace.After waiting for three thousand nine hundred and sixty-nine breaths, the conversation between the two came to an end.

Because at this time Zhuang Bufan in the five-color pill furnace yelled loudly, and Xu Dao also lifted the lid of the pill furnace abruptly.

A high-pitched sword chant sounded, clank!
The indigo and crimson light shone in the pavilion, flickering, making Xu Dao's eyes pale, invisible, and even his face felt tingling. This kind of power is definitely not possessed by Ningsha Taoist priests.

Now is the right time, Zhuang Bufan escaped from the alchemy furnace, his soul was completely imprinted in the flying sword, and he came back to life.

Whoosh whoosh!
The flying sword transformed by Zhuang Bufan was shaking in the short pavilion, extremely happy, and he kept shouting: "Hahaha! A certain old Zhuang will also be in the realm of refining Gang from now on!"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, if someone refuses to accept you from now on, greet the poor Taoist as soon as possible, and the poor Taoist will be able to chop him off without shouldering shoulder to shoulder!"

Seeing the other party's momentum, Xu Dao was also happy for the other party, and shouted: "Brother Dao, it's a deal!"

Just at this moment, a burst of golden light appeared in the very center of the pavilion, heavy as lead and mercury, and swept across the pavilion like a wave, imprisoning Zhuang Bufan who was running around at once, unable to move.

An old voice sounded: "If Pindao refuses to obey the two of you, do you want to kill Pindao too?"

The golden light was put away, and Taoist Jin Lin wearing a gold-thread Taoist robe appeared in the eyes of Xu Dao and Xu Dao, which made Zhuang Bufan who was ecstatic just now froze, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't dare, dare..."

Xu Dao also hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and bowed: "See Taoist!"

Daoist Jin Lin looked at the two with a smile, flicked the flying sword in his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Scurry around like a monkey head, don't break Pindao's alchemy pavilion."

Apparently Taoist Jin Lin just hit Zhuang Bufan jokingly, but didn't get angry.Xu Dao also raised his head and looked at the other party generously.

Suddenly, Xu Dao found that the Taoist was holding the flying sword in one hand, and he was randomly holding something like a chicken claw in the other hand.

This chicken paw is half the size of a human arm, with three pointed fingers, and there is golden olive-like blood on it, which will not drip.
