It was a cold spring day in the first month of the year, but the howling night wind could not dissipate the thick darkness on the top of Shuangma Mountain. Two figures stood in the cold wind, looking at the lights of the small town below the mountain.
One person said: "Master, the Bon people were too careless this time and almost delayed the important event."
Another person said: "Everything in the world is unpredictable, and good things are hard to come by. Even if they fail, we can just keep trying. We can afford to wait for thousands of years, and we don't care about this day and night."
The man still said angrily: "That being said, things will change if things are delayed. Plans are not easy to be delayed. If we can realize the great cause as soon as possible, we should try our best to push forward."
The Patriarch nodded slightly: "Jin Sheng, I know what you are thinking. Chao Xi is your daughter, and Bai Liming is an important chess piece in our plan. The Holy Envoy of the Bon Religion knows this, and will not and dare not harm them.
, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Yuan Jinsheng snorted coldly: "I don't dare to measure them. If the Bon believers dare to harm my daughter, I will definitely let them be buried with her."
Then he said: "Master, I'm not taking this matter seriously, it's just that the Bon religion's reckless behavior worries me. Now that Taoist leaders have begun to pay attention, it will become more and more difficult for us to advance our plans in the future."
The Patriarch said calmly:
"Time will dissolve everything. When you have experienced thousands of years, you will find that these are nothing. Don't worry, everything will be settled in the end!"
…
The next day, Xingjun summoned Bailiming, Yuan Chaoxi, Zuo Sisi, and Lu Xiaoyao again. After asking them about the situation of returning Zhou Jiang's ashes, he continued:
"You have made such a great contribution this time. After discussing with the heads of each department, I have decided on your rewards."
With that said, with a wave of his hand, a Taoist boy dragged a tray closer to him, with four rosewood boxes placed on the tray.
"This is Qingli soil. This soil is the soil derived from the root system of the ancient sacred tree Fuyao in the process of constantly absorbing and releasing spiritual power. It is not rare, but the important thing is that it has thick attributes and can carry all things. It can be used as a refining
The five elements of natal spiritual objects are also considered to be the best choices."
With that said, Shengyang handed the wooden boxes containing Qingli soil to Baili Ming and others one by one, and then said:
"Through this experience, you have proven your strength. You are exempted from taking the quota to participate in the Seven Stars Yaocai Conference. However, because your highest realm is the middle stage of the Enlightenment Realm, you can only participate as Group B.
.”
When Bai Liming and others heard this, they couldn't help but feel excited. They had planned to use the five elements provided by the Taoist sect to refine their natal spiritual objects. Unexpectedly, Xingjun actually rewarded them with earth-type materials of high quality.
It was an unexpected surprise to participate in the "Seven Star Yaocai" conference without taking the exam, and several people hurriedly gave thanks.
However, due to their own level problems, they could only participate as Group B, which made the four of them realize that they needed to improve their level as soon as possible.
Now that things have happened, Yuan Chaoxi, Zuo Sisi and Lu Xiaoyao bowed again and prepared to leave. At this time, Bai Liming suddenly asked:
"I would like to ask the leader, what countermeasures does the Taoist sect have to deal with the demon clan's increasingly obvious actions?"
Sheng Yang laughed when he heard this: "The Taoist sect is free to make arrangements and will strengthen surveillance."
Bailiming hesitated for a moment after hearing the words, but still said bravely: "Disciple feels that the demon clan is expanding its strength and seems to want to provoke a war."
Sheng Yang said with an easy-going attitude and a casual tone: "You don't need to be too unreasonable. The demon clan has been crippled since thousands of years ago. No matter how much it jumps around, it is just a clown. The demon clan is still lingering and can only dare to
They are just timid and playing tricks. They want to counterattack the Middle-earth, and it will not take more than a day or two. Don't worry, there is nothing to worry about."
Bai Liming wanted to say something else, but finally gave up. Thinking about it, the enemies he encountered now were indeed powerful, insidious and cunning to him. But in front of the behemoth of Dao Sect, they were just ants.
Since Xingjun said so, I might be worrying too much.
After leaving the Xingjun Palace, everyone agreed to bring all the materials to Fire Turtle Island in three days to refine their natal spiritual objects, and then dispersed.
As soon as he returned to his residence, a round-faced Taoist boy came in a hurry and announced his intention. However, it was Elder Tian who heard that Bai Liming was back and called him over.
Baili Ming did not dare to delay, and immediately got up and went to Longmen Island, knocking on the door of Elder Tian's small courtyard.
After a conversation, Elder Tian was very sad when he heard that General Zhou had died in battle. General Zhou had often come to deliver medicinal materials to him before, and he was familiar with General Zhou. Elder Tian sighed:
"People should not be judged by their appearance. The boy Zhou Jiang seems to be honest and honest, but when facing a powerful enemy, he never flinches and sacrifices his own life. It is admirable and admirable!"
After that, he took out the sacred tree branch and said: "After careful research, I found that this tree is a branch of the ancient sacred tree Fuyao. It has the power to communicate with heaven and earth, and is also helpful for soul spells. You can use it as a wood material to refine
The natal spiritual creature.”
Then he added: "Although the other method of focusing on the mind is full of falsehoods, it also has merits. For example, the method of refining the demon pill is very practical to quickly increase the strength when encountering an enemy in a tough battle. However, the side effects are too great.
It will cause the mana to be mixed and affect the quality of the golden elixir."
Bai Liming nodded when he heard the words. Fortunately, he did not try to practice, otherwise he would have to pay for it. While thinking about it, Elder Tian continued:
"I have improved it. Although the power is not as high as before, it has no side effects. You can safely refine the demon pill to increase your strength." He said and handed over a booklet.
Bai Liming took the booklet and saw a line of words written on the cover: "Using oneself as a cauldron to refine the demon elixir, a magical technique that can quickly increase one's level without any side effects."
"This..." Bai Liming's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say. Looking at Elder Tian who looked proud, he asked tentatively:
"Master, is the spell name a bit long?"
Elder Tian thought for a while: "Well, it makes sense, let's call it Little Magical Method."
Bai Liming couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth a few more times, and suggested: "Disciple, I think it's better to call it the Amplification Method?"
"Very good, very good, that's what I call it." Elder Tian praised it after hearing the words.
Bai Liming put away the booklet and asked again: "During this training process, the disciple found that although the attack range of the divine soul attack method is wide, the attack power is insufficient. I wonder if the master has a way to improve it?"
Elder Tian laughed: "What I was about to say is that this is a spell I created recently. This spell can condense the power of the soul and turn it into an invisible sharp blade to directly attack the opponent's soul.
Then your soul will fly away."
As he spoke, he took out another pamphlet from his arms and handed it over.
Bai Liming took the booklet, and when he saw that there were only three words "Soul Blade Technique" written on the cover of the booklet, he took a long breath and thought to himself: "Master is finally reliable for once."
…
Three days later, Baili Ming, Yuan Zhaoxi, Zuo Sisi, and Lu Xiaoyao gathered together and rushed to Huogui Island.
Fire Turtle Island is located more than ten miles north of Kaiyang Palace, guarding Kaiyang Island with Longmen Island and Jackdaw Island. There is a vein of earth fire on this island, which is where Kaiyang Palace refines weapons and elixirs.
land.
There are many stone towers on the island. Stone towers usually have two or three floors and are five or six feet high. There is at least ten feet between each stone tower. This is to prevent explosions when refining elixirs or refining weapons, thereby affecting the safety of other stone towers.
distance.
There is a stone tower in the center of the island, which is twenty or thirty feet high. From a distance, it looks like it stands out from the crowd.
This tower is where Elder Cao lives.
Elder Cao has a tall and muscular figure. His green robe is casually tied around his waist. He only wears a gray backpack on his upper body, revealing two thick arms. His bronze skin has a metallic sheen.
His eyes are like copper bells, his face is like a basin, his messy hair and a messy beard complement each other perfectly.
Elder Cao laughed and cursed a few times. He already knew the purpose of everyone's coming, so he led a few people into the tower without talking nonsense.
"Since you are the partners of this little girl Chao Xi, you have fought side by side through two experiences, and you have been very protective of Chao Xi. As Chao Xi's elder, I cannot fail to express my gratitude."
With that said, Elder Cao gave each of Bai Liming, Zuo Sisi, and Lu Xiaoyao a ball of dancing flames.
