There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 277 "The Art of Gathering Wood"

On an unnamed road at the junction of Nanlin Road and Mozhou Road, before dawn, there was a convoy of nearly a hundred people heading towards Mozhou Road in a panic.

"Wow…"

A baby's cry suddenly started and then stopped. On a small oxcart in the middle of the convoy, a woman nervously pressed the mouth of the baby in her arms. An elderly guard next to her came over and poked her head in. The Reiki puts the baby to sleep and signals the woman to release her hands.

The woman carefully let go of her hand, looked at the sleeping child in her arms, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, there was a noise from the front of the team, which startled the women and the older guards next to them, and then they saw a green flare rising into the air somewhere in front of the team.

When the people nearby saw the signal flare, most of them had despair on their faces. The originally quiet team immediately became noisy. Some people began to flee into the mountains and forests on both sides. The older guard looked back at the woman and her pregnant wife. The child in the middle gritted his teeth and ran towards the forest on the left.

The woman looked around blankly and nervously, her hands holding the child tighter. She looked at the messy scene around her, seemingly looking for something. Soon, her eyes lit up when she saw a middle-aged guard returning from the front of the team.

At this moment, the sound of bursts of arrows piercing the air came from the sky.

The next moment, the woman saw the returning middle-aged guard with an arrow piercing his neck. She was stunned on the spot. The next moment, she instinctively got up to check, but her movements reminded her of the man in her arms. child.

At this time, the sound of arrows piercing the air sounded again.

To the west of the path, dozens of long archers wearing the light red uniforms of the Daozang Palace Action Team looked at the team below with cold eyes. Each arrow they shot could take away a guard.

On an official road farther away, two teams of ten Qi practitioners were rushing towards this side.

In mid-air, a foundation-building monk held up the token in his hand and shouted loudly: "I am ordered to capture the remnants of the evil cultivators of the 'First Day', and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

"Shit!"

An energetic voice from the team said, "When I captured the evil cultivator of the 'First Day', you were still in your mother's belly."

As this voice sounded, an old man also stood in the air. There was a gourd suspended on his left side. Thick water spirit energy flowed out from it, combined with the runes on the surface of the circle around him, and condensed into dozens of ice cones.

"Old senior, you have to think carefully about the consequences of taking action. The disaster you suffered this time is the result of someone's impulsiveness!" The foundation-building monk at Daozang Hall held up his token to persuade.

"You've all killed people, and you still ask me if I've made up my mind. Don't you think it's shameless?" The old man pinched the secrets in his hands. Some of the ice picks gathered around him attacked the foundation-building monks, and some fell on the long archers on the top of the mountain.

"How brave!"

With an angry shout, the monk in the foundation-building stage of Daozang Palace sacrificed a silver pagoda, wrapped it around his chest to block the incoming ice picks, then made a magic spell with his hands and shouted softly at the old man: "Suppress!"

This is the monk from the Catacomb Gate!

The old man was well prepared. When the 'Suppressing Mountain Technique' fell, he dodged away, but several people below suffered disaster. In an instant, no one knew who died, leaving only a deep pit filled with blood and Broken limbs.

On the other side, a flame barrier appeared in front of the long archers, and two Qi practitioners fell beside them, sacrificing their magic weapons and igniting the spiritual energy in the air.

At the same time, two teams of Qigong practitioners coming from Guanlu arrived at the scene.

When they rushed down the mountain, they killed all the guards who fled into the forest. When they rushed to the trail, the old man in the sky screamed and fell into a nearby creek.

"I was ordered to capture the remnants of the 'First Day', and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

The foundation-building monk in the dojo hall once again raised his token and shouted, while using his hands to control the tower in front of him, trying to use the tower to kill the old man who fell into the stream.

"when"

But just as the tower fell, a cold light flashed, and the base of the tower shattered. The foundation-building monk of Daozang Palace's face tightened in fright, and he subconsciously took out two red signal bombs and threw them into the air.

But the signal bomb was not exploded. Two broken blades cut it off. The next moment, more signal bombs were thrown into the air nearby and exploded in the air.

"You are so brave, how dare you kill innocent people indiscriminately on my Mozhou Road!"

There was a rebuke in the air, and a weapon cultivator wearing a blue robe was suspended in the air.

The foundation-building cultivator straightened his expression, suppressed the tension in his heart, and clasped his fists and said: "Senior, you can see clearly that this is still the boundary of Nanlin Road, but senior, you have to protect the remnants of the evil cultivators of the 'First Day' ?"

"You are so sharp-tongued, are these women, children and children also evil cultivators?"

"Senior, we don't need to answer your questions. You should understand the rules of Daozang Hall. I am following the orders of the inspector."

"How dare you, a junior, dare to talk to me like this."

At this time, there was a smart man on the path who took the opportunity to run towards the boundary of Mozhou Road. But as soon as he made a move, the long archer on the top of the mountain subconsciously raised his arrow and shot.

"You are presumptuous!"

The weapons cultivator on the opposite side shouted loudly, blood surged around his body, two broken blades cut through the void, one cut off the arrows fired, and the other directly killed all the long archer team on the top of the mountain!

It all happened in a flash, and then there was silence.

"Senior, you..."

Before the foundation-building cultivator finished speaking, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and the suspended body had been cut into two sections. Then, the weapon cultivator in front looked downwards with fierce eyes.

He may have acted out of instinct just now, but now he has plans to silence him.

"I'm so daring!"

At this moment, the harsh sound of breaking through the air echoed between heaven and earth, and at the same time, a five-foot-tall tower fell from the sky and hit Qi Xiu's head.

...

Hilltop courtyard.

After Wang Ping finished reading the second volume of "The Art of Gathering Wood" just written by Taoist Yucheng, a light screen panel popped up:
  [The second volume of the Art of Gathering Wood: Gather the wood spirits of heaven and earth, awaken the spiritual veins in the body, use the consciousness of the spiritual veins to cross the world of inspiration, capture a suitable wood spirit creature, surrender it for your own use, and fuse it with the soul , to increase the sensitivity to the wood spirit energy and achieve a qualitative change in the soul. 】

[1. Use a fixed spell formation to gather the wood spirit energy of a primeval forest, awaken the wood spirit spirit vein consciousness in the body, and cross the inspiration world. You can try it twice a day until the consciousness can stabilize in the inspiration world. ]     【2. Find a suitable wood spirit creature and use your own spiritual veins as bait. You will find it within two hours. You need a sealed artifact with golden spiritual properties to help you conquer it easily. 】

[3. Sit cross-legged on a fixed magic circle and communicate directly with the spirit creature. You can try it once a day until it becomes familiar with your soul. 】

[4. When the spirit creature is familiar with your soul, you can try to fuse it with your soul, or use the simple method of 'soul-eating'. In this step, please observe the state of the spirit creature, only its emotions. When it is stable, there will be a higher success rate. The current success rate has no reference. 】

[Note 1: Before cultivating the soul, the spiritual vein consciousness in the body is very dangerous to the physical body.

[Note 5: Please make sure that the spiritual veins in the body have not expanded to the internal organs. If they have expanded to the internal organs, please eradicate them in time. If they cannot be eradicated, they must be sealed in time, or go to a retreat in a place that isolates spiritual energy as soon as possible to stay away from the invasion of external consciousness. You can't leave the seclusion until the excess spiritual veins are cleaned up. 】

The conditions required for promotion are difficult to say and simple to say.

The difficulty is that compared to before Wang Ping was promoted, and after his promotion, the conditions of the second level of "The Art of Gathering Wood" were just a piece of cake for him.

However, whether the promotion can be truly successful depends on the person concerned.

Based on his current understanding, he clearly understands how difficult it is to fuse a spiritual creature with the soul of an incoming monk. If you are not careful during this process, you will be assimilated into a monster. At the same time, you need to prevent the spiritual veins in the body from being absorbed at all times. Rampage.

"Liyan never thought of using such a method to improve the "Jutsu of Wood". This secret method was probably created by the people behind him."

Seeing Wang Ping finish reading, Taoist Yucheng said: "'Soul-Eating Technique' is one of the most powerful spells of Taoist Wuma's lineage. Senior Brother once said that they use 'Soul-Eating Technique' to devour spiritual creatures to strengthen themselves." spirit, many people went crazy because of it.”

The 'Soul Devouring Technique' sounds very bluffing, but in fact it is useless for spiritual beings in the real world, because swallowing the souls of other creatures will give the Devourer an extra personality, which will lead to an explosion within three days. Possessed.

This spell is assimilation, not absorption. It uses the monk's soul to assimilate other substances. It is a spell that tests back and forth on the edge of madness.

Wang Ping thought for a while and said: "I designed a secret room that can isolate the spiritual energy, and a mountain forest that can absorb the wood spirit, and then arrange a complex sealing array in the core area of ​​the mountain forest. In this way, a lot of risks can be reduced, which can be regarded as Give the disciples a way out."

"Well, you make the decision in this regard. With your talent, you will definitely seek the fourth realm in the future. Qianmu Temple needs some special means to keep up with your needs, but the Taoist sect still has to follow the Taoist sect's rules."

"I understand what Master means. I will find a way to get the 'Soul-Eating Technique', but I will strictly limit its use."

"That's exactly what I mean." When Wang Ping spoke, he looked towards the northern sky. At the end of the sky, there appeared the five-color projection that was used by the emergency contact and comfort envoy of Daozang Palace!
  ...

Ningzhou Road, Shunyangfu Ferry.

The busy workers at the dock and the sailors on the nearby boats were all cautious at the moment, not daring to make any unnecessary noise. Occasionally, one or two brave ones would hide behind some shelters and look at a large ship on the river in the distance.

It was a three-sailed official ship, with a Daozang Palace flag hanging on the top of its main sail. The ship did not dock at the dock port, but went straight down the river and headed towards Nanlin Road. There was a speedboat in front of the ship clearing the way. , let other ships passing along the way retreat to both sides of the river early.

On the top deck of the official ship, Hu Qianqian looked a little anxious, looking at the busy sailors on the deck, pressing his hands on the wooden guardrail, and the sharp claws on his hands left vicious scratches on the guardrail.

After settling the Wulang matter, she was originally going to stay on Ningzhou Road to deal with the remaining tail. When she received the news that Qianmuguan was attacked because of Wulang, she immediately dropped everything she was doing and returned.

She felt that what happened this time was because of her carelessness. Niu Qi and Wang Ben, who were standing to her left and right, also had sad faces. Niu Qi kept breathing hot air from his mouth, and Wang Ben's long beard drooped at the corner of his mouth. With.

"We must take good care of that goat demon. He has the secret of the 'First Day'. Maybe his secret can help us make up for our mistakes!"

Hu Qianqian explained again.

Although she had said this many times, Niu Qi and Wang Ben didn't think there was anything wrong.

Just when the ship was about to approach the boundary of Nanlin Road, a five-color five-element pattern suddenly flashed through the hazy autumn sky, making Hu Qianqian feel a bit biting in the autumn wind, and her furry ears swayed back and forth unconsciously.

"This is the first time I've seen Daozang Palace use the highest level signal!"

Niu Qiweng said angrily. After speaking, he exhaled two balls of hot air from his nose. He was obviously suppressing the irritability in his heart.

Wang Ben stuck out his tongue and licked his mouth, and said dissatisfied: "Can you stop talking?"

"Click"

Hu Qianqian didn't control the strength in her hand well, and crushed the fence that her palm loved.

The sailor below felt a chill on his back, and Niu Qi and Wang Ben both closed their mouths.

A quarter of an hour later.

There was an eagle cry in the air, and a falcon with a wingspan of more than one foot quickly glided downwards. When it approached the official ship, it turned into a little demon wearing a black cotton outfit.

"What's the matter?"

Wang Benhe asked.

The hawk demon tilted his head habitually, his round eyes rolled rapidly, and he half-knelt on the deck and said: "Daozang Palace is chasing Wulang... Uh, no, it's when they are hunting down the remnants of the 'First Day'. There was a conflict at the junction of Mozhou Road and the monks on the opposite side, and I heard that several inbound monks died."

When Hu Qianqian heard this, her blue eyes suddenly turned into vertical pupils, then she stuck out her tongue and licked the sharp teeth in her mouth, and said to her left and right, "Speed ​​up!"

Niu Qi and Wang Ben, who were on the left and right, nodded tacitly when they heard the words, and then they drove the demonic energy in their bodies to roll up the official ship. The next moment, the entire ship immediately rose into the sky like a magic weapon, and connected with the world. The spiritual energy merged in the space and flew across the river at an extremely fast speed.

Within an hour, the official boat followed the river and entered the territory of Nanlin Road.

"You two go and escort that old sheep demon yourself!"

When Hu Qianqian's voice came, he projected his identity tag into the sky, and then his body disappeared into the air. Niu Qi and Wang Ben turned around and walked towards the room with the sealing array at the back.
