Xianlu

Chapter 550
On the top of the Bone Ice Mountain, You Bing did not enter the palace for retreat after leaving the customs. The true energy in his body has been calmed down, and the formed golden elixir has been recuperated.

But You Bing still didn't go down the iceberg, she just delivered a few letters to Zhuang Bufan and others in person, and the reason why she stayed on the iceberg was to take care of Xu Dao.

You Bing finished the retreat, and Xu Dao entered the retreat state again.

It's just that his retreat is different from the usual state of retreat. It's not about practicing meditation, but with the help of his own accumulation so far, as well as the spiritual objects on Baigu Island, to arrange the Ninth Grade Dancheng Formation and the Starry Formation to help him form alchemy.

He has already been familiar with most of these two formations, and with the Huangtian Zhenlu in his hand, he can already try to arrange the formations while comprehending the rest of the formations.

In addition, with You Bing, a Taoist who just formed a top-grade golden core, by his side, Xu Dao was able to call the other party to his side from time to time and discuss with him a few times.

On this day, Xu Dao first asked You Bing for a batch of spiritual materials, and called You Bing to his side to talk with him about "Returning Pills with Jade Liquid".

Those who return pills with jade liquid refer to swallowing Jin and refining Qi.

According to the records in "Daoshu": "Jade liquid is based on the qi of the kidneys, which rises to the heart. With the qi of the heart, the two qi intersect and pass over the heavy building. If you keep your mouth shut, you will be full of fluid in the Yuchi, swallow it, it is jade liquid. I stir the upper and lower palates with my tongue, close the Yuchi and close the two cheeks, and swallow its breath emptyly, this is the way to return the elixir."

Second, in forming alchemy, it refers to repeated tempering of true energy to make it as pure as jade liquid, and then gold and stone can be obtained.

The general meaning is that the true qi in the foundation building realm is gaseous, but in the process of forming a pill, it can be condensed into a liquid state, and then gathered into a solid state, instead of directly changing from qi to solid.

Of course, true qi is extremely mysterious, like water but not water, like air and not air, like light but not light, indescribable, the reason behind it is not really that simple, it is just a comparison of the three states of gas, liquid and solid.

"Returning alchemy with jade liquid is the most common step in alchemy. It is recorded in many Taoist books, and there are almost no books about it. Daoist friends, don't underestimate it. This method is expensive, but if you don't, the chance of alchemy will be reduced. Half."

In the Ice Palace, You Bing sat in front of Xu Dao, and said with a solemn expression: "Although the matter of alchemy is to pursue the top grade, the more ambitious the better. As a last resort, never do anything dangerous!"

She said with the utmost sincerity: "The concubine's alchemy, or the luck of the heavens, has taken the possibility of a one-in-a-million chance. It is extremely dangerous, and it is difficult to prove this statement. But the concubine dare not lie to the lord! "

Xu Dao was dressed in Taoist robes and sat cross-legged in front of You Bing. Hearing this, he mused. He let out a breath, and finally nodded seriously:

"Pin Daoist understands, understands the importance of it, fellow Daoist, don't worry."

Seeing that Xu Dao agreed, and it didn't look like a fake, You Bing also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The reason why Xu Dao took the initiative to talk to You Bing today is because he has read a lot of alchemy books, and besides the alchemy formation and star formation, he knows many other methods that are helpful for alchemy formation.

On a whim, he wondered whether it is possible to use the technique of returning alchemy with jade liquid, or simplify this technique, and focus on other links, such as directly changing from a gaseous state to a solid state. It is rumored that this was the case at the beginning of the alchemy.

But his idea was slapped on the head by You Bing, who bluntly said that the stage of "returning elixir with jade liquid" is a great progress in the development of immortality, and it is a good recipe for elixir that has been figured out by later generations.

Even according to You Bing, Xu Dao's two formations can be discarded, but only the technique of "returning pills with jade liquid" cannot be discarded. The former is only related to improving the level of the great pill, while the latter is directly related to the formation of pills. success or failure.

Xu Dao thought about the importance of it, and suddenly felt that he was a little out of shape these days, and he secretly said in his heart:
"Indeed, as You Bing said, before forming alchemy, one must try to increase the possible upper limit of the golden alchemy. But in the process of alchemy, it is not feasible and dangerous, but a surefire strategy should be taken, the more stable the better."

Apart from this point, Xu Dao suddenly remembered the tragic examples in various Taoist scriptures and rumors.

Dandan ring is the most taboo to be rash and aggressive. Once the furnace is overturned, no matter how talented you are, with extraordinary roots, billions of dollars, and extraordinary morality, even if there are immortals watching the furnace, failure is failure. All advantages and accumulation will be wiped out and can no longer be used.

Once the alchemy fails, it cuts off the possibility of the alchemy becoming top grade.If it is better, it can form a real pill in the future, but it almost hurts the foundation, and at most it will form a fake pill.

Xu Dao heard that during the Tang Dynasty, such things happened frequently among the descendants of immortals.

Many people who are born holy have a mouthful of innate spirit from their mother's womb, and the practice after birth is as simple as eating and drinking. It is not uncommon for them to accumulate 30 years of Taoism in 300 or [-] years.

However, due to the indetermination of the mind and the lack of firmness of the Dao heart, when forming the alchemy, it is often a little too aggressive. Once it is rash, the furnace will be overturned, and the top-grade golden elixir will be lost forever. Although there are immortal magic medicines, they are all useless, which is lamentable .

Under such a blow, even if this kind of Taoist obtains another true pill, the possibility of cultivating into a Nascent Soul will be further reduced on the basis of the real pill.

Xu Dao searched ancient and modern times, and only heard of a good example. The Taoist surnamed Bai, named Yuchan, was amazingly talented, rare in the world, but because of careless warming and nourishing during the process of forming the alchemy, the mercury flew away, and the alchemy eventually failed. hang into.

Fortunately, the Taoist later sharpened his Taoist heart and did not change his mind. He was given "Four Hundred Characters of Golden Elixir" by a real person surnamed Zhang, and realized the principle of bathing with jade. In less than a hundred years, the mystery of life and death can be broken, and the real Nascent Soul can be certified!

With such an example and You Bing's warning before it, the original impatience in Xu Dao's heart, as if being poured by cold water, suddenly cooled down.

Xu Dao's eyes were full of fear, he looked solemn, stood up and straightened his clothes, and bowed to You Bing in front of him:

"Thank you for your words today, fellow daoist, Xu Daoding will remember it, rather slow than rush!"

When You Bing saw Xu Dao get up and salute, she looked surprised, and when she heard Xu Dao's words, she stroked the ends of her hair beside her ear, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is being polite."

"It also happens that the concubine has formed a golden core in front of her, and the husband has witnessed it with his own eyes. It is inevitable that his Taoism will be affected and he wants to form a golden core as soon as possible. This is human nature."

When Xu Dao heard You Bing's words, he also nodded slightly. It was indeed as You Bing said, because You Bing had formed alchemy for the second time, and the second time was a top-grade golden alchemy, so he was a little affected.

In addition, after Xu Dao came to Xihai, he always felt as if someone was urging him to form alchemy as soon as possible.

His mind tightened at this point, and he realized: "These urgings are probably the evil thoughts in my heart."

Although he has a Qingjing chapter to suppress the Lingtai, and the chapters are getting longer and longer, but the outer demons can be overcome, but the inner demons need to reflect on themselves all the time, and prevent erroneous things from happening.

Xu Dao sat cross-legged and reviewed his career in the West Sea. It is true that he was really impetuous at times in the past few decades.He had experienced this kind of situation in Wu Guozhong before. At that time, he was rather slow than in a hurry, and he searched slowly, and finally got through it successfully.

"After cultivating for sixty years, my Taoist karma may not be called brave and diligent, singing without worry, not comparable to those amazingly talented people in the history books, and I am afraid it is not comparable to the true biography of the Eastern Taoist School, but I will take it slowly. The key is to follow my way and achieve a positive result!"

After thinking it through, although Xu Dao didn't reach the point of suddenly being enlightened, his heart also turned from cold to cold, his mind was calm, and his depression disappeared without a trace.

His next alchemy should not be delayed, but he should not rush forward either. If he can make progress every day, he should follow his own ideas and follow the steps.

Suddenly, Xu Dao thought about these things, and compared Bai Yuchan's "dividing the jade bath", the "Lotus Flower Alchemy" of the Lord of the Bone Monastery, the "Borrowing the False to Cultivate the Truth" of the Lord of the Qianlong Pavilion, and the popular "Jade Liquid Returning the Pill" The techniques are all connected together, and a steady idea pops up in my heart!

"Better slow than rush! Why don't you do it step by step?"

Among the above methods of forming alchemy, without exception, the preparation of alchemy is almost divided into two steps. Among them, what is the method of "dividing the jade bath"? , he also does not know.

But You Bing had already taught him the lotus flower alchemy of the Lord of the White Bones, and he had observed it with his own eyes and up close. It can be borrowed into his own plan and used.

Xu Dao was overjoyed in an instant, and he immediately spoke out, telling You Bing of this idea, and asked You Bing to help him as a staff officer.

Today's You Bing has already formed alchemy by himself, and neither the Taoism nor the Taoism can be compared with that when he succumbed to the Lord of the Bone Monastery. After hearing Xu Dao's ideas, she immediately put forward a lot of ideas .

In the next two days, Xu Dao and You Bing did not rest, they just sat and discussed, and You Bing also cooperated extremely.

Xu Dao took out the Ninth-Rank Pill Formation Method, Starry Array, Cloud Forbidden Talisman Method, Taibai Xijin Sword Pill Method, and even the Qingjing Chapter and Huangquan Jiaolong visualization that he had collected in his hands, and asked You Bing to figure it out carefully. , Help him check for omissions and fill in vacancies.

Although he obtained these exercises with painstaking efforts, they are just methods, and You Bing and him are best friends, so there will be no hidden dangers in exchanging them.

And even if it's his Master's Sacrifice Talisman Refining Talisman, this method is only his fundamental method at this stage, and will be changed day by day in the future to increase his foundation. A loophole was left, causing Xu Dao to be deliberately dealt with by outsiders who had insight into the details.

During the two days, You Bing learned so many powerful exercises from Xu Dao, especially the "Quiet Chapter" that Xu Dao used to keep the Lingtai quiet, and he was quite pleasantly surprised.

Even the Bone Goddess in her body was stunned and said from time to time: "This kid's background is really good, a natural Dao seed? Could it be that he can also form a top-grade golden elixir?"

After two days of hard work, when Xu Dao planned to talk to You Bing about the difference between the first, second and third ranks of the top-grade golden elixirs, it would be convenient for him to prescribe the right medicine and form a first-grade golden elixir.

At noon on the third day, suddenly a sound transmission talisman passed through the heavy restrictions of the Ice Palace and came directly in front of the two of them.

This sound transmission talisman was sent to You Bing, and after being caught by You Bing with a light tap, it slowly dissipated, and the message inside was sound-transmitted to You Bing.

Xu Dao watched from the side, and immediately knew that the matter in the sound transmission talisman must be serious, because it was formed by a condensed sword energy, and he was also very familiar with the nature of the sword energy, which belonged to Zhuang Bufan.

Sure enough, You Bing got the sound transmission, and his complexion changed slightly, becoming a little dignified.

Xu Dao indicated to the other party what was going on with his gaze, but You Bing didn't hide anything, and said after a little thought, "Without him, Xihai Jindan and others have finally arrived again. And according to the spies' reports, there may be more than one Jindan outside the island. "

When Xu Dao heard this, his expression was also solemn.

The death of Taoist Bitter Bamboo and the "death" of Taoist Du Jiao, these two major news can't be concealed, they have already been spread.The Jindan Taoist who rushed to Baigu Island now either drove off the island and only sent people to the island to deliver letters, or did not show up at all, planning to observe in secret for a few more days.

These things are still within Xu Dao and You Bing's expectations. The reason why the two look solemn is that they are worried that those golden cores will join forces to attack the island together.

You Bing saw that Xu Dao's complexion also changed, her expression was relieved, and she smiled softly:
"It seems that you and I have to stop here before discussing the Dao, and let's talk about it after the visitor is settled."

Xu Dao nodded and said, "Go together." He was also about to stand up.

But who would have thought that You Bing pressed him on the seat, lightly twisted the formula, called the Bone Lotus Seat to his side, and said:
"Fellow Daoist is the key to forming alchemy. Although it hasn't really started yet, you can't leave the pass easily. Don't bother fellow Daoist about this matter. I will bring the Taoist priests and soldiers in the city with me, and just go out to wait for the enemy."

She paused, and then said: "Besides, there may not necessarily be a fight here, maybe the visitors are guests, and they are here to give the concubine a great gift."

Xu Dao frowned slightly.

Before he could speak, You Bing chuckled again: "It's just a bunch of local chickens and dogs. Don't worry, fellow Taoists, I will come as soon as I go."

After finishing speaking, You Bing saluted Xu Dao, turned around and left.

Seeing that what she said was reasonable, Xu Dao thought for a while, and put out the idea of ​​catching up. He just stood up and saluted the other party, and sent You Bing out of the ice palace.

Today's You Bing is a top-grade golden elixir. He used to have a record of one against five, and now he has an example of easily suppressing poisonous dragons.Even if things change, it won't be so bad.It's really bad, Xu Dao, who has not formed a pill, will be a burden instead.

After You Bing left, Xu Dao was the only one left in the ice palace.To be precise, there is still a dragon body that was beaten half to death, but it is still not completely dead.

Xu Dao walked up to Jiaoju, staring at Jiaoju, sat down cross-legged, ready to start the specific steps of forming a pill!

But what he wants to do is the first half step in his alchemy process.

Just like the fake alchemy of the master of the Bone Temple and the Qinglong pill of the master of the Qianlong Pavilion, Xu Dao is going to form a big pill that looks fake but not fake, and divides the process of forming the pill into two steps.

For this pill, he wants to practice the technique of the outer pill, based on the natal talisman, put it outside his body, not in harmony with his life, then cook the spirit, swallow the foreign objects, and promote it sequentially.

Its alchemy was called "false alchemy of talismans" by Xu Dao.
