Xianlu

Chapter 296
Dao soldiers, Taoist soldiers, are soldiers specially raised and refined by people who practice Taoism using magic and secret methods, and they have all kinds of strange means.

When Xu Dao was still a Taoist boy with fetal breath, the spell he relied on most was the Bone Dao Soldier Skull Talisman, which can transform a living person or beast into a dynamic skeleton and white bones to assist him in killing monsters and thieves.

It's just that these are the lowest-level Taoist soldiers, and the upper-level Taoist soldiers are cultivated and refined by Taoists or monsters like the Lord of the Bone Monastery. kill.

Moreover, Taoist soldiers are different from magic tools and spells. When fighting in danger, Taoist soldiers do not need Taoist priests to transfer mana. On the contrary, many Taoist soldiers can transfer mana to Taoist priests to boost Taoist priests' mana.

Every time a Taoist soldier is added, the strength of the Taoist priest can be improved by one point. It is rumored that the Taoist soldiers with a strong background each have their own Taoist soldiers, and they cannot be driven by their own skills. A great guarantee for traveling, protecting and practicing, and subjugating demons.

When a Sanxiu Taoist meets such Taoist disciples, even if his skill level is higher, he is likely to be defeated by the Taoist disciples, or even be beaten to death.

Such a convenient helper, logically speaking, every Taoist should raise and refine a few.

But in fact this is not the case. Even thousands of years ago, the method of raising and refining Taoist soldiers has been leaked from various Taoist sects and spread to the world. There are still only a few sects or Taoist priests in the world who can refine a few or a few.

This is because every Taoist soldier is actually equivalent to a Taoist who has practiced a specific method, but the origin is different, whether it is a demon or a ghost or a person or even a thing.

And similar to the bones and skulls used by Xu Dao before, the Taoist soldiers it conjures can only last for seven days, and they cannot eat and drink by themselves, swallow the essence of the sun and moon, and consume the spiritual energy stored in the spell. Named a Taoist soldier, not a Taoist soldier.

The real process of refining Dao soldiers requires hundreds of years of painstaking efforts like the Lord of the Bone Temple to cultivate the seeds of Dao soldiers who practice a specific method. After the seeds grow to a certain level, the aptitude is mature, and then they can be picked for refining, and Not necessarily successful.

It is not about cultivating disciples, but more like cultivating disciples.

With such a process and consumption, even with the life span of hundreds of years of foundation-building Taoist priests, few people have the financial resources to support them and successfully refine Taoist soldiers.

As for the Taoist disciples in the Qi refining stage, Taoist disciples may not even be able to afford to support a mere Yin beast, let alone Taoist soldiers that take more time.

Xu Dao is now not only building the foundation, but also about to enter the Erhai Dao Palace, and will be supported by the Dao Palace, which is why he came up with this idea.

And for him, compared with ordinary Taoist priests, the threshold for refining Taoist soldiers is undoubtedly much smaller, and the probability of success will be much higher.

This is because his dragon-species body comes with an innate talent—tooth general and scale soldier, who can transform his whole body into an avatar, a puppet-like existence outside his body, able to eat and drink, but without a soul.

Such soldiers are already considered low-level Dao soldiers, which are semi-finished products, and are the best materials for refining Dao soldiers.

Moreover, Yajiang Linbing inherited the talent of Nanke Moyu. As long as there is enough spiritual food, his strength and cultivation can skyrocket in a short period of time. Compared with other monsters and living people who need to grow slowly, it is undoubtedly much more convenient.

Xu Dao thought to himself: "Actually, I stuffed ghost souls into tooth generals and scale soldiers before. The idea was to make servants like Tao soldiers, but the technique was poor, and the tooth general scale soldiers had no wisdom. It’s just a shortcoming.”

"Now that you want to refine real Dao soldiers, you must think carefully. If two months is not enough, you can add more. We must try our best to bring out high-quality raw materials such as scale soldiers."

"Once successful, it will not only help me kill the Taoist priest Lei Zhao, but also the capital for me to settle down in the Taoist palace, and even travel around the world!"

And in addition to the above, he actually has a bigger advantage in refining Taoist soldiers, that is, ordinary Taoist priests' Taoist soldiers can only help Taoist priests in fighting methods, at most they can temporarily improve their cultivation, and they will not help Practice.

But in the process of refining Dao soldiers, even if Xu Dao fails to refine them, he may still benefit from them in terms of cultivation.

It's all because what he wants to use as a Taoist soldier to practice exercises is the "Jiaolong Meridian Locking Essence Chapter" that he obtained in the fairy garden!
Suddenly, Xu Dao's heart became hot.

He flew low-key over the Erhai Lake, wishing he could find a spiritual island immediately, and quickly stationed there to start the process of practicing and training Taoist soldiers.

But he still suppressed his thoughts. Although he flew out of the water dock, he lingered nearby, not too far away.

This was because although Xu Dao had confirmed the authenticity of the letter, he was still worried that someone would try to lure him out of the house and kill him.

After about half a day, he didn't notice anything strange around him, nor did he see any strange Taoist priests flying towards him, so he was relieved for the time being, and judged that he wasn't being followed.

So Xu Dao held a map in his hand, randomly chose a direction, and ran forward with a sharp increase in speed, his figure suddenly disappeared in a vast mist.

After he disappeared for about half an hour, suddenly three Taoist priests walked together and appeared near the water dock. Their movements were quite similar to Xu Dao's just now, and they kept circling around the water dock.

Only one of them cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! What a treacherous fellow!"

Someone else said: "This guy has been walking around, I can't wait too closely to follow him, and let him get away. This guy has disappeared in the sea fog, and I can't find it when I look for it."

If Xu Dao was so worried, the Wuzhao tribe really sent people to ambush him. Fortunately, he was cautious and didn't let the other party succeed.

But the three Taoist priests looked at the vast water mist around them, and one of them said with flickering eyes: "Don't worry, I still have a chance."

"There are countless uninhabited islands full of spiritual energy. The big deal is that we'll be busy these few days and go to a few more places. Sooner or later we'll be able to catch this kid!"

"Exactly!" The other Taoist priests agreed.

But what the three Taoists didn't expect was that although Xu Dao held the map of Erhai Taoist Palace in his hand, he didn't go to any point on the map. Instead, he went to the place where the island was not recorded.

With the experience of cultivating in the southwest, Xu Dao would rather place his cave in a hidden corner with little aura than reveal the location of the cave to others.

What's more, he had already offended the Wuzhao tribe before he entered the Taoist palace, so he had to beware.

The Erhai Lake is vast and the water body is blue.

Xu Dao soared in the sky, walked across the water, and found that the huge sea was really quiet and cold.

And according to his recent knowledge, if the sea is centered on the place where the water dock is located, it will be thousands of miles wide.

Thousands of miles away, there are rumors circulating in the Taoist palace that there is a lot of confusion, and even the Taoist priests who established the foundation may get lost.

From this, Xu Dao suspected that although there were no monsters or even many creatures in Erhai Lake, it was not necessarily a safe place, so the range of islands he was looking for was on the side of Shuiwu and Wudu.

But to many people's disappointment, he searched and groped for three or two days, but he didn't find any unrecorded island.

He had to sigh: "That's right, this Erhai Lake is almost the back garden of the Erhai Taoist Palace. With the abilities of the Foundation Establishment Taoist and Golden Core Taoist, all the formed islands on the sea should be included in this sea map."

It's just that Xu Dao is still a little unwilling to give up. Since he has already spent two days of hard work, why not continue to work hard?

After all, the most important thing about the cave is the place where he lives and lives. Even if there is a ban in the Taoist palace, it is strictly forbidden to offend others in the cave, but he still doesn't want to pin his safety on a few rules.

So Xu Dao suppressed his thoughts and searched more carefully on the sea.

At this time, he began to miss the Nanke gnats. If there were Nanke gnats, tens of thousands of gnats would be scattered, and the search efficiency would be more than ten times. It would be like he can only search slowly with his eyes now.

Xu Dao secretly thought in his heart: "In the future, we must keep more ghosts by our side, so that they can be inserted into the teeth and scale soldiers as a driving force, so as not to have servants to deal with trivial matters."

This also reminded him that if he wanted to refine a large number of Taoist soldiers, he had to find a way to refine a large number of ghost soldiers, or other methods to solve the problem of toothless soldiers without souls.

It's just that the most important thing for him now is to find a foothold and determine the location of his own cave.

After another two days, Xu Dao finally gave up.But he still didn't run to find the islands on the chart, but found another foothold.

The foothold he was looking for was really just a "foothold", it was not an island, but a hidden reef.

Xu Dao has seen several such hidden reefs nearby, most of which are distributed around islands, but the one he chose has no other islands nearby, and it is the highest one in the tens of miles of sea. Highlands".

The hidden reef lies below the sea surface, and the "highest" point is still more than ten feet away from the sea surface. If he hadn't used his divine sense to scan from time to time, he would really not be able to find it with just his eyes.

Such a hidden reef, its secrecy is quite in line with Xu Dao's needs, and its size can also be used. The whole body of the rock is compact, like a huge rock, and the place near the water surface is about ten feet wide. The bottom is even more huge, there should be hundreds of feet.

Having spent several days on the sea, Xu Dao didn't bother to look for others, and after careful examination, he decided to open up a cave here.

With a roar, he immediately transformed into a complete dragon body, with pale scales and a huge figure, exuding a terrifying momentum.

Without any further delay, Xu Dao controlled the body of the dragon species, and dived into the sea water with a puff, the water splashed wildly, and the waves churned.

After entering the sea water, the transparent eyelids covered the pupils of the dragon's flesh, allowing him to see easily in the sea. At the same time, a thick water vapor permeated around his body, making him feel comfortable for a while.

Xu Dao even tasted it carefully, and found that the blood in his body was faintly active. This was not his illusion, but the dragon veins in his body originated from mirages.

Mirage is a monster that grows in rivers, lakes and seas. It likes water vapor, especially sea water. There is a saying among dragons that "the dragon enters the sea".

Therefore, even if the salt in Erhai Lake is too high and there is a Dead Sea, it is still a good place for Xu Dao who has transformed into a Jackie Chan form.

His heart suddenly moved, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that choosing to open a cave underwater is a wrong decision and a correct decision?"

Opening the cave under the water, surrounded by endless water vapor, and then introducing some spiritual energy and arranging the spirit gathering formation, it should be extremely beneficial to the growth of the dragon's physical body, which is much more suitable than on land.

Thinking of this, Xu Dao was secretly happy. He immediately stopped hesitating and crawled on the huge reef shaking his head and tail. Using both claws and tails, he slammed into the rock violently.

Large pieces of rock, like tofu, were easily dug up by him, crushed into dross, and then rolled away by the water stirred up by the scale tail.

It took him four or five days to find the island, but it only took him a mere hour to dig the cave, and he had already achieved initial results.

Xu Dao chiseled out tens of square meters of rock at once, and then directly blocked the entrance to prevent the seawater from pouring in. He himself stayed in the cave and sucked all the seawater away with the cockroaches.

In this way, the water mansion in one side of the sea has an outline.After digging out the cavern, Xu Dao's top priority is to arrange a formation to isolate the inside and outside, so as not to see too much sea water seep in.

In addition, he also needs to arrange stable rocks and hidden formations. The former is to prevent the huge cave from collapsing suddenly, and the latter is to cover up the breath and prevent outsiders from discovering the place.

Among them, for the latter purpose, he also deliberately cut off the top of the reef by two or three feet, hiding it deeper.

After a good life and busy work, most of Xu Dao's wealth, which was not rich at first, was lost.

Logically speaking, when the new Taoist priests open up the cave, the Erhai Taoist Palace will often provide assistance, but Xu Dao opened it in advance, and has not yet been officially included in the gate wall.

Therefore, he could only gather spiritual materials on his own, and the materials and formations he chose were all cheap materials and formations, which were not in the eyes of Taoist priests.

Of course, this kind of cheapness is compared to the cave mansion of the Taoist priest who established the foundation. Compared with the cave mansion he once had in Baigu Mountain, its level is much higher, and it is barely enough for the time being.

Once he was done, when Xu Daopan sat down, the inside of the submerged reef was completely changed. There was a spiritual light on the top as the sun and the moon, and there was water flowing down into the brook. The water mansion had changed from an outline to a prototype.

The rest needs to be polished, or planted some vegetation, to add vitality to the water mansion, or to continue digging to expand the space of the water mansion... But these are all things that can be busy in the future.

He was entrenched in the very center of the water mansion, breathing out and cultivating, replenishing all the consumed qi, and adjusting his state to the best.

The next thing Xu Dao has to do is to practice "Jiaolong Meridian Meridian Locking Essence Chapter", cultivate Taoist soldiers, and improve Taoism!
