The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 317 The foundation building spirit talisman is completed (please subscribe!)

He walked here, firstly unintentionally, and secondly because he smelled a scent.

Turning the corner, what came into view was Huahua sitting with her back to him, and Xiaojin sitting cross-legged across from him.

At this time, Huahua is holding a large bamboo stick cut from bamboo in her hand. There is also a spiritual fish on the stick. It is roasting and sizzling at this time. The fragrance is emanating from this uncooked spiritual fish. .

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhiyu first seemed to be struck by lightning, then suddenly he reacted and said angrily:

"Ha, you two bastards, didn't I give you numerous warnings before seclusion, telling you not to catch fish from the lake? You just turned a deaf ear to it, right? Okay, okay, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you bastards It won’t last forever!”

He was really angry. He had brought all the spiritual fish in the lake from the Chixiao Secret Realm, and their grades were as high as the third level. In order for these fish to spread in the family, the Xu family did not hesitate to borrow money and spend huge amounts of spiritual stones. Upgrade your family's spiritual veins to the third level of high quality.

Not only that, in order to prevent the clan members from disturbing the growth of these spiritual fish, the family also deliberately used a third-order low-grade formation to cover the entire spiritual lake and designated it as a forbidden area. You can imagine how much the family attaches importance to these spiritual fish. .

But now that the spiritual fish, which was so important to the family and had a small number, were roasted and eaten by his two spiritual beasts, how could he not be angry.

He came to the fire in two or two steps, holding a second-level low-grade soft whip weapon in his hand. He was about to take action at that moment. He was determined to punish the two ignorant spiritual beasts this time.

Because Huahua's back was turned to him, and because her heart was focused on the spiritual fish, she didn't notice anyone approaching. Xiaojin, who was sitting opposite her, noticed him with a scowl on his face, and the three-dimensional long sword in his hand that was filled with spiritual power. Zhang Zhang's whip, he immediately spoke and begged for mercy:

"Master, please forgive me, Huahua and I did not intend to disobey your instructions, but there was a reason and we had no choice but to catch the spiritual fish in the lake to eat!"

Huahua also heard its loud shout at this time, turned her head and glanced at the long whip weapon, holding the unroasted spiritual fish in her hand, and hid behind Xiao Jin with a 'sniff'.

Looking at the living treasure-like flowers, Xu Zhiyu's anger subsided by half, and he asked patiently:

"Really? Then tell me how you are forced to do so. Didn't I leave the corpses of monsters for you to use as food before I went into seclusion?"

"Master, we finished all the rations you left behind half a year ago. You don't know." At this point, it turned back and glanced at Huahua hiding behind it, and continued:
  "Huahua is so edible. He keeps fussing with me every day when he doesn't have enough to eat. I can't do anything about it, so I can only let it eat. Plus, Master, you don't know when you will be released from seclusion, so the two of us ate for a while. After the bamboos and bamboo shoots sprouted, I really couldn’t hold on any longer, so I occasionally went to the lake to fish for spiritual fish to eat.”

"Master, don't worry. There are a lot of spiritual fish and shrimps in this lake, and we don't have much to eat. It won't affect their survival at all."

After Xiaojin broke through the foundation building, his communication ability has indeed been greatly enhanced, and he can express these meanings even with gestures and words.

"This is an oversight on my part. I didn't expect to be locked up for such a long time. Moreover, this place was covered by formations and they couldn't go out to look for food, so they were very hungry and only caught the spiritual fish in the lake. It's quite understandable. Original."

"But why did Xiao Jin just say that there are many spiritual fish and shrimps in this lake? Isn't this lake specially used to cultivate the third-level high-grade spiritual gathering monoton shrimp and the third-level high-grade spiritual gathering pike? Besides, these two There aren’t many spiritual fish and shrimps!”

Thinking of this, he summoned Huahua Dao:

"Huahua, give me the fish in your hand!"

After hearing this, Huahua did not immediately get out from behind Xiaojin, but looked at him with her head in the air, no, to be precise, she looked at the long whip weapon in his hand, with a timid look in her eyes.

He sighed secretly and put away the long whip. Seeing this beautiful talented man, he stood up and trotted to him. He bent down and handed the bamboo stick and the spirit fish to him, and at the same time, he did not forget to rub his big furry face. Rub him.

After taking the sign and looking at it, he said softly:

"Isn't this the Lingjiang crucian carp I met in the Guxiu Dongfu River? How did it appear in Linghu Lake? Is it because there were changes in Guxiudongfu that the Lingjiang crucian carp was raised here?"

Thinking of this, he thought thoughtfully and told Xiao Jin:
  "Go to the lake and catch some more fish and shrimps. I want everything!"

Xiaojin took the order and left. He handed the fish-piercing stick to Huahua again and said:
  "Go ahead and keep baking!"

Huahua was so happy when she heard this, she happily sat down cross-legged, added two more withered phoenix tail bamboo sections to the fire to make the fire even bigger, and then continued to grill the spirit fish happily.

With nothing going on, Xu Zhiyu also found a clean place to sit down, waiting for Xiao Jin's return and the spiritual fish to be grilled.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Jin, who transformed into a water snake, poked his head out from the edge of the lake. With a vigorous swing of his body, three or two spiritual fish, four or five spiritual shrimps, and a dozen small crabs were mixed in between.

These aquatic products accurately landed in front of him. He picked up a spiritual shrimp and checked it, and found that it was indeed the same as the one he had eaten in Guxiu Cave Mansion. Only then did he finally confirm that there was really a new 'resident' in the spiritual lake.

"Xiao Jin, let me ask you, apart from these first-level spiritual fish, shrimps and crabs in this lake, have you found any other spiritual fish and shrimps that are higher than yours?"

Upon hearing the question, Xiao Jin blinked his triangular eyes, raised his head, thought for a while, seemed to have remembered something, then lowered his head and asked:
  "Master, are you talking about the spirit shrimp with nine spots on its body and the strange fish with no scales on its body?"

"Yes, yes, these two kinds of fish and shrimps. Have you two seen them? Have you ever caught them?"

At this moment, Huahua's spirit fish was grilled. He first handed one to the owner Xu Zhiyu, and then after obtaining his consent, he took the rest of the spirit fish, shrimps and crabs to the barbecue. What happened to this guy in the past I have forgotten most of them, but I have not forgotten the skill of grilling fish. On the contrary, I have become more and more proficient in it.

While eating, he motioned for Xiao Jin to continue talking. "Huahua and I have encountered these two kinds of fish and shrimp several times when we went fishing together. They are not in large numbers and never move together. Huahua and I also tried to catch them, but these two Breeding fish and shrimp are extremely vigilant and are often spotted when we are far away from them, and they move so fast in the water that we simply cannot catch them, so we have never caught them successfully.”

"By the way, the last time I saw them, I found that they seemed to have given birth to many offspring. It was spectacular to follow them around."

Hearing this, he rewarded Xiao Jin with the half-eaten spiritual fish in his hand. He quickly came to the lake, cast a 'Water Avoidance Technique' on himself, and then plunged into the lake.

He went into the water this time just to see with his own eyes what Xiao Jin said, whether the Juling monoton shrimp and Juling pike were really breeding. If so, it would be great news. No one knew it better than him. The effects of this kind of spiritual fish are exaggerated. One fish or one shrimp is worth a month of hard work.

Moreover, increasing one's cultivation level with this kind of spiritual fish is different from taking elixirs. Taking too many elixirs may produce erysipelas in the body, but spiritual fish will not do this, and there will be no problem if they are taken for many years.

But this time he was unlucky. He searched underwater for a full day and night, but he couldn't see any shadows of the Juling shrimp and Juling pike. In desperation, he got out of the water again and came. Arrived at the lake shore. At this time, the two spiritual beasts who had feasted did not run around, but stayed quietly to guard the place where he entered the water.

In fact, he didn't doubt what Xiao Jin said, he just wanted to confirm it himself, but he was unlucky and couldn't get what he wanted. However, he also decided that the retreat was over and he must report this to his family.

In the next few days, he played with the two spiritual beasts for a few days to relax his mind. After being in seclusion for seven years, he was in a state of tranquility and restlessness.

However, his retreat this time was not over. Next, he planned to continue the retreat and draw the foundation-building talisman.

Just do it, and after repeatedly telling the two spirit beasts not to touch the two third-level top-grade spirit fish and shrimp descendants, he stepped into the room and began the great business of making talismans.

Making the talisman this time is different from usual. This time there is an extra step, which is to prepare the spiritual ink. Generally, the spiritual ink is used to make the talisman, but the foundation-building spiritual talisman is different and needs to be specially made.

His eyes swept over Butianhan tobacco, red jingzhi, and colorful ginseng one by one, and then took out the second-level spiritual water specially used for mixing spiritual ink and poured it into the spiritual inkstone.

He grabbed the colorful ginseng, scratched the skin with a knife, and activated his spiritual power. Then he saw the colorful juice in the ginseng being forced out little by little, falling into the spiritual inkstone, and mixing with the spiritual water.

Next is Chi Jing Zhi, and finally Bu Tian Han Tobacco, all in the same process. When all the raw materials were mixed together, the mixture in the inkstone changed wonderfully, as if there was a fire burning underground, and it actually boiled like boiling water.

Along with this process, the juice became more and more viscous, and finally turned into a semi-solid state. Seeing this, he understood. It turned out that this was what was recorded on the slip, so he was not surprised.

Afterwards, he picked up the second-grade high-grade talisman pen specially refined for him by his grandfather, stroked the tip of the talisman pen in his hand, and fell into deep thought again.

The talisman required for refining this talisman pen clearly requires the use of Wei Hao from the Sky-pupil Golden-tailed Wolf, but the Xu family of the Sky-pupil Golden-tailed Wolf has been using it since the day he learned how to draw the foundation-building talisman. After asking around in many places, no trace of the Tiantong Golden-tailed Wolf was found in shops or auctions.

When they finally went to Taiyang Tower to inquire, a Zifu alchemist there told them that this kind of monster only existed in the core of the Hengduan Mountains.

Xu Zhiyu was greatly shocked when he heard the news, because not to mention the core area, with his cultivation level, he had to be careful even when going to the periphery of the Hengduan Mountains. If he was not careful, he might become the prey of the monster.

As for the entire Xu family going out to break through the Hengduan Mountains, it would be no different than committing suicide. No one would die, and no one would want to come back.

In the end, Xu Zhiyu approached Granny Wen and told her the matter. It was the first time that he saw an embarrassed expression on Granny Wen's face, but in the end he gritted his teeth and agreed.

A few months later, Granny Wen, who had a tired face, handed him the body of the Tiantong Golden-tailed Wolf. This made him overjoyed and also made him very curious about the origin of this thing.

After he asked, Granny Wen said that he had reported this object to Tong Ying, who dispatched nine golden elixir masters from the Taiyang Tower headquarters to go to the Hengduan Mountains to hunt down the Tiantong Golden Tail Wolf. Finally, after paying a considerable price, I finally hunted down a second-level high-grade Sky Eyed Golden-tailed Wolf.

After hearing this, he was greatly shocked and had a clearer understanding of Tong Ying's energy. At the same time, he also had a more urgent desire to improve his cultivation. Things that the Xu family couldn't do despite all their efforts were solved with just one sentence.

Although on the surface it seems that it is because of Mr. Tong's high position that he can easily mobilize so many Jindan masters to work for him, if we dig deeper, it is inseparable from Mr. Tong's cultivation in the god transformation stage.

After getting Wei Hao of the Golden Tail Wolf with Sky Eyes, he went to his ancestor and handed the Purple Spotted Polygonatum and Wei Hao to him together, and explained the talisman to be refined. The ancestor said nothing after hearing this. He agreed, and finally gathered the efforts of him, Xu Shengsheng, and Xu Shengxiao, and it took more than half a year to refine the pen.

His thoughts turned around, and he stretched out the talisman pen towards the Lingyan. When the tip of the pen touched the semi-solid spiritual ink, a magical scene happened. The spiritual ink completely melted and turned into a liquid, no longer the same as before. appearance.

Next is to carve the runes in your mind. The foundation-building talisman can be regarded as the most difficult second-level talisman to draw. There are a total of 120 runes, which need to be superimposed five times. It's simply ridiculously rare.

It took him half a year just to take the first step of realizing the talisman from the sea of ​​consciousness. After that, he started to draw it. The next step was to draw it again and again, fail again and again, sum up the experience again and again, and start over and over again.

Another year passed like this, and with the help of his own efforts and the lifelong experience of Wei Kaijiang, a third-level talisman maker, he finally successfully drew a foundation-building talisman after consuming 75 raw materials.

Looking at the talisman in his hand, which was less than half a foot long and only two inches wide, shining with deep yellow light, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. For this talisman, he and his family had sacrificed too much and gone through many hardships, but it was good. Finally succeeded.

He did not stop, but continued to draw the foundation-building spiritual talisman, because the spiritual ink made from one Butianhan tobacco plant was enough to draw a hundred materials.

After all one hundred materials were consumed, and half a year had passed, he had obtained a total of eleven foundation-building talismans. Overall, his success rate for making talismans was less than 10%. However, with the last ten materials, he had completed the talisman four times. This success rate is not low.

"It's time to leave seclusion!" He whispered, put away the magic talisman, and stepped out of the room.
