Xianlu

Chapter 153
Still not returning to Shezhao Mountain City, Xu Dao led the swarm of mayflies and insects, and stopped directly at a corner of a hundred thousand mountains.

After arranging all the arrangements, he got into the temporary cave and began to refine the flesh and blood of monsters that he had snatched from the Shezhao tribe.

Just like when he was in the lake, the Ant King of Nanke swallowed blood honey to increase his demon energy. Xu Dao also let the insects swallow the flesh and blood of monster beasts first, brewed blood honey, and then consumed the blood honey to increase his energy.

Although this method will damage a lot of flesh and blood of monsters, but with gnats as a filter, the advantage lies in stability.

Just like that, he sat in the cave, consuming blood honey with all his heart, in order to refine all the flesh and blood of monsters as soon as possible, and turn them into his own cultivation base.

After all, only what he eats in his stomach belongs to him.

According to the previous plan, Xu Dao first improved his martial arts cultivation base. He circulated all the spiritual energy refined by taking blood honey to the Tanzhong acupoint on his chest, and then continuously polished his body to transform For Qi and blood.

Among them, the mayhem quickly transformed all the flesh and blood of the monsters in his pocket into blood honey, but Xu Dao's own speed of digesting blood honey was limited, far behind the ant king.

For four or five days in a row, he refined blood honey in the temporary cave without leaving the cave.

And the blood honey is worthy of being the pure spiritual liquid that Nanke's gnats use to feed the ant king. Almost every mouthful can bring great benefits to Xu Dao, especially for him to practice martial arts.

Because Nanke Anyu is a monster after all, although the blood honey has a beneficial effect on both the soul and the body, it is most effective in nourishing the body and helping to increase the monster energy or blood energy.

This is also the reason why Xu Dao used only the remaining blood honey after cultivating the Immortal Dao when he was refining the Immortal Immortal Fruit in Black Mountain before, so that his physical body was directly promoted from the beginning of body refining to the middle stage of body refining.

But now this time, the benefits he got were equally great.

this day.

Xu Dao sat cross-legged in the cave with his upper body shirtless, and a jade bowl was placed in front of him, which was full of a large bowl of blood honey.

I saw that after several days of retreat, his breathing became longer and longer. When he exhaled, there seemed to be two white air slowly swimming in his nose.

You must know that this is not autumn and winter, but May and June, the end of spring and the beginning of summer, when the air is slightly hot, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to exhale into fog.

The reason why Xu Dao had such a strange phenomenon in his breath was not only because his lungs and intestines were extremely powerful, but it also represented that the aura in his body was full, and it had reached the point where the aura was overflowing, allowing the aura to haunt his nostrils. Condensed into fog.

call!
There was a sudden sound of airflow pulling in the cave, as if a gust of wind passed through the cave, but the entrance of the cave was tightly closed, and there was no wind outside.

After careful investigation, it turned out that the sound was caused by Xu Dao's chest and abdomen rising and falling like a bellows, and his rapid and deep breathing made him make a roar of wind and thunder.

The sound of wind and thunder rang seven to seven forty-nine times.

He opened his eyes suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his eyes, the skin on his body also glowed white, and his whole body was full of inspiration.

As he took a deep breath, all the aura in the cave was locked into his body by him.

Xu Dao stopped breathing, closed his mouth tightly, his eyes were slightly closed, his whole body was trembling, and there were low humming sounds everywhere.

This scene is not like ordinary people shivering, but like a cat and a tiger trembling like a snoring when someone strokes it.

Obviously at this moment, the flesh and blood on Xu Dao's body was undergoing great changes. He circulated all the blood energy and suppressed all the thunder and fire energy on the surface of his body under the skin, lurking in the flesh, in order to be as powerful as possible. Temper the body as much as possible, so that the flesh and blood on the body undergoes qualitative changes.

Holding his breath like this for a quarter of an hour, Xu Dao sat cross-legged, frowning slightly, realizing that the tempering in his physical body was not enough.

This is like smelting iron with a raging fire. It takes a higher level of temperature and firepower to melt all the "copper and iron" on his body into lumps and form a body of fine steel.
With a stern look in his eyes, Xu Dao suddenly stretched out his hand, took the bowl of blood honey in front of him, and immediately swallowed it, swallowing it all into his belly.

As soon as the blood honey fell into his belly, it collided with the Qi and blood in his body, releasing surging aura, like boiling oil poured into a charcoal fire, and instantly burned.

At the same time, there was a crackling sound, and a trace of electric light appeared on Xu Dao's body surface, concealed but not exposed, and he suppressed it with all his strength.

However, the aura contained in the blood honey is not only pure, but also in a large amount. The bowl of blood honey he swallowed just now was extracted from thousands of catties of spirit flesh by gnats.

If it is refined and absorbed by ordinary Taoists, at least two or three years of Taoism can be increased.

But Xu Dao swallowed it in one gulp, and the aura was continuously transformed into his qi, blood and true qi, and at the same time dissipated around, and the mist transpired, directly forming a big cocoon entangled with white air.

He sat upright and cross-legged in it, and the aura of thunder and fire on his body became more intense.

Boom!

In the cave, muffled thunder resounded in the white cocoon where Xu Dao was hiding, and electric lights as thick as wicker churned, moving back and forth in the cocoon like snakes and insects.

Gradually, the thumping sound resounded in the white cocoon, from small to loud, and finally overwhelmed the muffled sound caused by the thunder and fire.

Listening carefully, this sound has a high frequency, it is actually the sound of a human heartbeat, but it is much amplified.

The next moment, someone's voice sounded in the cave: "Zha!"

After uttering one word, the white cocoon flashed with lightning, like countless tiny white snakes dancing, which suddenly shattered into pieces, fell off Xu Dao's body, and gathered under his body to form a cloud platform.

At this time, Xu Dao opened his eyes, his eyes were burning, his body was full of energy, and there was a hint of joy in the corner of his mouth that seemed to be a smile that was not a smile.

Looking at the muscles and muscles on his body, there are distinct blocks everywhere, as crystal clear as jade, and there are precious lights circulating in it, the whole body is like jade being ground by water.

Such a scene represents the transformation of Xu Dao's physical body, the flesh and blood of his whole body has been tempered, and the process of refining the flesh has been completely completed.

Since then, Xu Dao's flesh and skin have become firm, and it is difficult to break a strong bow and crossbow, and it is difficult to dismember a five-horse soldier's body. Even if he enters the army naked, he seems to be wearing heavy armor. horse.

This physical state is already invincible to ordinary people, and it can only be captured and killed with the help of the army or the existence of Taoists.

In addition, Xu Dao's method of tempering his physical body is based on the "Thunder in the Palm of the Shanzhong" as a basis, and he tailored it for himself.Now that he has successfully refined the meat, lightning invisible to the naked eye swims around his body at any time, and his whole body can vibrate. It has reached the point where "a feather cannot be added, and a fly cannot fall".

If he walks outside, no matter how strong the wind and sand are, his body will be spotless, just like the dust-avoiding spell used by people in the immortal way.

Examining the changes in the physical body carefully, Xu Dao's eyes showed joy, he exhaled, and thought in his heart: "Finally, the physical body has also reached the late stage, catching up with the cultivation base of immortality."

When he left the Bone Temple, he had just broken through to the late stage of Qi refining, but now after a few months, he has not even had the effort for half a year, and his physical cultivation has also reached the late stage of body refining, far exceeding his expectations.

There are achievements in Xianwu, whether it is fighting against the enemy, or saving his life and escaping, Xu Dao has a great guarantee.

And compared to ordinary immortals, his physical body is not only not a burden, but also a hidden weapon, which may have the effect of finalizing the final decision when confronting the enemy.

Compared with people in martial arts, he has many kinds of spells that he can use, and the Yin God can come and go freely, and his methods are strange and powerful.

However, what surprised him the most was that his physical body and soul had all been transformed after being cultivated by Xianwu, and his lifespan could actually reach 150 years.

It should be noted that ordinary martial arts disciples can theoretically live up to 120 years, but in the next 20 years, their qi and blood will be exhausted, their skills will be greatly reduced, and they will not be able to go any further. good result.

As for the immortals who are also Taoists, although they can live up to 150 years in theory, because they don't refine their bodies, unless they are good at keeping in good health and never lose the blood of their bodies, it is difficult to live to 150 years.

But for the current Xu Dao, he has gained both his soul and body. Even if he suffers damage in the future, he still has the means to warm up and recover one by one. In fact, he can actually live for 150 years.

Such an effect makes it easier for him to obtain longevity than Taoists who only practice one way.

Stuck in the cave, Xu Dao pondered in his heart: "At first, I thought it would be a surprise that fellow practitioners of immortal martial arts would double my strength, but I didn't expect that the biggest surprise would be life expectancy."

He is only eighteen or nineteen years old now, and he is already in the stage of a late Taoist disciple.In other words, he still has at least 120 years of kung fu to continue to practice.

Compared with those late-stage Taoists who are getting old, Xu Dao has undoubtedly a better chance of establishing a foundation.

"I don't know if other Taoists know this wonderful thing about fellow practitioners of Xianwu."

Joyful in his heart, Xu Dao suddenly thought of something: "Fellow practitioners of immortal martial arts, fellow practitioners of immortal martial arts, the soul and the body practice together. This is the so-called 'dual cultivation of life and soul' in previous lives."

"The soul is the nature, and the body is the life. According to the Taoist books of the previous life, the dual cultivation of life and soul is the way of longevity...

At this point, he fell into deep thought.

So far, Xu Dao has been very clear about the purpose of practice. It is not simply to fight and kill, to surpass others, and to control great power, but to transcend mortal bodies in order to achieve freedom and long-term vision!
Among them, the means of beating, killing and killing are indispensable for protecting the way, but after all, they are for the long life of the Taoist.

In contrast, the importance of longevity is self-evident.

But now that he has also practiced martial arts to the late stage of body training, he has a clearer understanding of the physical body, and suddenly discovered that the immortal way and martial arts complement each other, which can not only increase the power of protecting the Tao, but also approximately increase the lifespan of Taoists, which is in line with the ultimate goal of practice.

Thinking about this, Xu Dao scratched his head and recalled the principles of practice in his previous life.

He secretly said: "There was a saying in the previous life, 'Only cultivating fate and not cultivating nature, this is the first disease of cultivation', 'Only cultivating nature and not cultivating fate, it is difficult for ghosts to become holy'."

"I was just a mediocre mortal in my previous life, and I only came into contact with the knowledge of Taoism in this life. I really don't know if it is true or not... But now, compared with the changes in me, there is some truth in it."

Suddenly, Xu Dao had a faint guess in his heart.

Xianwu fellow practitioners, that is, the path of dual cultivation of life and soul.

It may look extremely difficult, but it is also extremely difficult to walk. Whether it is for the talent of the Taoist or the wealth of the Taoist, this road is very demanding, and it is easy to cause the Taoist to fail in the east and the west, and waste a lifetime in vain.

But such a difficult path may turn out to be a shortcut on the road to longevity...

Xu Dao had thought about this before, but his realm was low at that time, and no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't get it confirmed.

Now with the promotion of realm and the broadening of horizons, he has to seriously consider this point.

However, there is another point that deserves his attention, that is, the principles of practice in the previous life, he must not completely copy them to this life.

After all, the practice in this life has its own system. Although Xu Dao can use the principles of the previous life to gain the benefits of understanding by analogy, he must also beware of his own whimsical and unrealistic ideas.

In addition, his realm is low, he doesn't even have a foundation, and he is just an apprentice on the road of cultivation.

It is possible that what he is considering has already been considered by the elders, and they each have their own means to deal with it.

After thinking about it, Xu Dao still wants to follow the path of immortality to seek longevity. He mainly focuses on the practice of immortality, and martial arts, and even sword fairy Waidan are auxiliary means.

But the concept of "double cultivation of life and soul" finally entered his mind officially.

Suddenly.

Xu Dao was in a daze, he touched the tin gourd on his waist, and chuckled lightly as if mocking himself.

"The casual cultivator is really aggrieved. There is confusion and insights on the road of practice. No one can answer it, and there is no one to communicate with. You can only guess by yourself."

Xu Dao thought that he was already a blessed person. Not only did he have a character talisman in his hand, he was able to learn from others, and he was lucky.

But when he thinks about all kinds of things on the road of practice, he will feel the limitations of casual practice every time.

So he sighed in his heart, half comforting half yearning:
"Even if we go back to the Temple of White Bones, the master of the mountain is only at the late stage of foundation establishment. If you want to completely avoid the suffering of casual cultivators, you may have to worship in the Taoist sect. There is a method that directly points to longevity in the door. You can go straight to longevity, and what you practice and what you prove is the Dao."

But there are only ten Taoist sects with famous names and surnames in the world. They control the world's Dao veins and are known as the "Ten Directions" in the "Ten Directions Forest".

The rest of the palaces and temples, although they are as numerous as the forests in the mountains, are big and small, but they are all just one of the thousands of forests.

The ten directions are too far away for Xu Dao, they just exist in the book.

He thought that if he could worship a temple with the Nascent Soul Method, he would be content.

It must be known that those who have cultivated into Yuanying are real people, ghosts and immortals.

It can be reincarnated and reincarnated, which is a mystery in a broken fetus. It is already a person of immortality, but it cannot be destroyed, so it can't be regarded as a great happiness.
