Xianlu

Chapter 160
Sitting in the secret room, Xu Dao let out his thoughts and tried his best to feel the changes in the smoke in the cauldron.

The tripod in front of me is not simply a large tripod made of copper and iron. It can be instilled with Taoist thoughts, and then control the temperature inside the tripod. It is considered a magic weapon, worth five or six hundred talismans.

Xu Dao had never personally refined elixir before, but fortunately, although the method in the blood exchange secret technique was similar to alchemy, it could be called simple, and he only needed to prepare a lot of materials and warm them up.

Among them, the most important main medicine is, of course, the flesh and blood that contains the demon blood in the body. Among them, those with strong demon blood are the best, living things are the first, dead things are second, and things such as fur and bones are the third.

He originally wanted to go to the ghost market to buy a monster containing demon blood to extract blood, such as the snake girl he saw at the auction last time.

But once a large auction is held every three months, it's not yet time, it's still early.

Secondly, because Miao Nu is a late Taoist, she is not considered an unknown person in the Shezhao. If the Shezhao tribe finds out that this person is dead, they will probably investigate.

If Xu Dao went directly to the ghost market to buy the corresponding items for the blood exchange method in the recent period of time, he might have come into the sight of the Shezhao tribe.

Fortunately, there were not many things in Miao Nu's stone house that could catch his eyes, not even the talisman money, but the materials related to the blood exchange method were all available, there were more than ten copies, enough for him to adjust slowly.

At the same time, after Xu Dao rummaged through the items in his bag, he found that there were two things in the bag that could barely allow him to try to draw the blood, instead of running to find the monster himself.

One may be able to draw out the blood of a demon donkey, and the other may be able to draw out the blood of a demon dog, both of which he obtained in previous battles, and the realm is not bad,
Taking care of the copper and iron cauldron at this time, Xu Dao was trying to extract the blood of the demon donkey from the flesh and blood in the cauldron.

In order to be able to succeed, he has not closed his eyes for three days, fearing that the heat will not be enough and the demon blood will be cooled, or that the fire will be too hot, and the flesh and blood in the cauldron will be roasted dry.

But even if he was so cautious, after 36 hours in a row, the tripod shook suddenly, Xu Dao quickly lifted the lid of the tripod and looked inside.

A burnt smell instantly diffused from it, and the medicinal materials and spiritual sand used to purify the flesh and blood became black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and lost their efficacy in an instant.

Xu Dao secretly thought something was wrong, he quickly took out the refined demon body from the cauldron.

If it was as he had worried before, the corpse inside had turned into a mummy, not to mention the blood in his heart, the bodily fluids all over his body had dried up.

Seeing this scene, he reviewed the content on the scroll of the secret technique of exchanging blood, and his heart sank:
"Looks like what is said in the technique, the best materials are living things. For those who can succeed, [-]% of them are living things, and the remaining [-]% ​​are dead things. And the dead things are also made of complete and fresh monster bodies. For good... there are almost none that can extract blood veins from fur, bones, etc., and it is just a guess in secret art."

Although he failed, Xu Dao's three or four days of hard work were not completely ineffective, and his mastery of the secret technique has deepened a lot through this round.

"The difficulty of extracting demon blood is closely related to the vitality, state, and richness of the material. Generally speaking, the fresher and inferior the blood, the easier it is to extract."

After sorting it out, Xu Dao sighed softly again: "But refining the demon blood is only the first step. In the whole secret technique, the second step is to implant the demon blood into the human body!"

Strictly speaking, the reason why he wanted to refine the demon blood was to refine the "heart blood" first, and it was also to ensure the success rate of implanting the demon blood.

Because if the implanted demon blood is too thin and has too many impurities, the chance of the recipient's blood exchange being successful will be lower.

Among the various reasons, there are only a few sentences on the scroll, and the rest needs to be studied and pondered by Xu Dao himself, but fortunately, he is not very troubled.

scoff!

A burst of flame suddenly appeared in Xu Dao's hand. He lit a fire talisman and directly burned the mummy in his hand to ashes. He also took out the broken medicinal materials from the cauldron and threw them aside.

Immediately afterwards, he took out another corpse from the bag, which was the corpse of two yellow dogs.

Xu Dao looked at this thing, and thought to himself: "Although this corpse has been dead for many days, it is far fresher than the one just now, and it itself is a monster. It doesn't matter whether the blood of the monster dog in the body is strong or not. After refining, it should be usable. However, the level is too low to be used, and most of them can only be used to refine Dao soldiers and warriors."

But what he wants to do is to test the secret technique of exchanging blood and try to refine living human soldiers.

Exhaling a breath, Xu Dao let go of many thoughts in his mind.He looked at the cauldron in front of him, took out a pile of talisman money from his pocket again, and threw it under the cauldron.

A tactic was pinched, and the flames fell under the cauldron, and the talisman money mixed with unknown animal bones and demon bones immediately burned brightly again.

For alchemy and refining tools, the things burned under the alchemy furnace are not only firewood, but also talisman money.

Just when Xu Dao was about to put a new batch of medicinal materials into the copper tripod, he put more than a dozen medicinal materials in front of him, and while recalling the words on the scroll, he picked out five or six of them, and turned to He took out some other medicinal materials from the bag and added them.

The functions of more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials are nothing more than maintaining vitality, promoting vitality, and regulating yin and yang. They are not fixed types and quantities, and many of them can be replaced, and those with sufficient spirituality are the best.

In the end, he threw the yellow dog's body into the cauldron, and with a ruthless heart, he took out a spoonful of blood honey from the pouch and poured it into the cauldron as well.

Just the effect of this spoonful of blood honey can make an ordinary Taoist increase his Taoism by one month.

"Let's see if it can be successful this time. If it can't, the possibility of extracting demon blood from dead objects is too low. In the future, living creatures should be used as the main method. Before refining living creatures, you have to make a lot of preparations like that Miao girl. ..."

With the thought in his mind, Xu Dao sat cross-legged in front of the bronze tripod, calmed down, and began to mobilize the firepower in the tripod, urge the medicine to warm and nourish the yellow dog's corpse in the tripod.

There was no water in the copper tripod, and traces of medicinal power were released from the tripod, turning into a cloud of smoke.

Different from the previous refinement, the smoke in the cauldron is not black, but black and red, and the smell of medicine is even stronger.

The yellow dog's body fell into it. It had been dead for many days, but the medicine was injected from its mouth, nose, ear holes, and wounds.

It made its dull fur shine again, and its flesh became rosy, as if it was about to come alive.

Just like that, Xu Dao submerged his mind and started refining step by step.

………………

Four or five days passed in a flash, Xu Dao lowered the firepower of the cauldron, instead of using medium and high fire, he switched to a long low fire to warm it up. It took more than 36 hours, seven to 49 hours.

These days, both Su Jiu and Dao Ke came to him, but because they both knew that he was busy with important things, they didn't harass him too much.

this day.

Su Jiu and Swordsman were both active in the yard. The former had almost recovered from his injuries and was stretching his muscles and trying to practice his palm skills.

The latter watched Su Jiu's wind and thunder sound with envy in his eyes. He stood aside and waved his long knife.

Swordsmen come and go with just a few tricks, following the way of opening and closing in the army.

In fact, these moves have been practiced to the bone by him long ago. The reason why the swordsman also practices in the yard is mainly to cover up his embarrassment and prevent himself from having nothing to do.

click!
There was a vibration, and the stone door of the secret room was slowly opened, making a muffled sound.The two people who were moving around in the yard stopped their movements and hurriedly looked in the direction of Shimen.

Before they took the initiative to step forward, a person walked out of the stone gate, it was Xu Dao.

Seeing Xu Dao leaving the customs, both Su Jiu and Swordsman showed surprise on their faces. They ran to Xu Dao and shouted: "I have seen the master."

After retreating to see the two of them, Xu Dao had a gentle look on his tired face.

Seeing his expression, the swordsman asked tentatively, "Master, can I get something from retreat?" Su Jiu also showed concern.

Hearing what the two said, Xu Dao smiled lightly and said, "I got something."

"Congratulations, master! Congratulations, master!" Both Swordsman and Su Jiu congratulated quickly.

But Xu Dao went on to say: "It is true that I should congratulate, but the one who should be congratulated is not me, but you."

"Huh?" Su Jiu and the swordsman were startled, they looked at each other, a little confused.

Xu Dao's eyes fell on the swordsman, looking at him with a smile, the swordsman himself was even more confused.

"Old Sha, someone came to my house to cause trouble more than [-] days ago, but you can only stay in the basement, defenseless like a chicken or dog, but are you willing?"

The swordsman fell silent when he heard Xu Dao's words.

The last time Miao Nu came to the place where several people were staying, she kidnapped Su Jiu in front of the swordsman. If he didn't react at all, it was probably impossible.

On the contrary, apart from fear, as Xu Dao said, the swordsman also has a sense of powerlessness.Compared with Su Jiu, he doesn't even have the qualifications to fight to the death.

Hearing Xu Dao's question, the swordsman held the knife at his waist with a look of disappointment.Although he carries a long knife day and night, although ordinary knives are fast, how can they be against the spells, spells and other things of Taoists.

The swordsman is not a fool, his heart moved, he immediately let go of the handle of the knife, bowed and said to Xu: "I don't know what the master wants to say to Sha?"

Xu Daoxiao looked at the other party, his right hand suddenly stretched out from his sleeve, his fingers spread out, and there was a black and red blood mass the size of an egg in it.

The blood clot floated above his palm, swaying and wriggling, as if alive and dead, extremely viscous, like a jelly.

"This is?" the swordsman asked in surprise.And Su Jiu stood beside the two of them, also showing curiosity.

Xu Dao held his things, stood with his hands behind his back, and said to the swordsman:

"You follow me for a short period of time, but you have to be diligent and loyal. Today, there is a good fortune for you, so that you can enjoy the wonders of the immortal way and have the opportunity to enter the Tao. Would you like to?"

In an instant, the swordsman's eyes widened. He stared at Xu Dao and the black and red blood in Xu Dao's hand.

The swordsman tightly held the handle of the knife at his waist, his chest heaved, his arms trembled, and he couldn't even speak for a while.His throat clucked a few times before he spit out a few words:
"Old, sir..."

Seeing the appearance of the swordsman, Xu Dao stretched out his hand to signal the other party not to get excited, and said again: "You are quite old, and you have countless hidden wounds. Secret wounds can be cured by medicine stones, but lack of energy and decay of spirit cannot be solved by ordinary means. That's right. If you don't get rid of the latter, you won't have the chance to cultivate immortals and learn martial arts."

"Today, I spent nearly a thousand talisman money to refine the demon blood with a poor method of collecting secrets, and I got a secret medicine, which can make you reborn and have a chance to enter the Tao."

Xu Dao paused:
"But the ugly words are also mentioned earlier. This medicine is taken from the body of the dog demon. After swallowing it, it may restore the vitality in your body, but there is also the possibility of sudden death. Even if it succeeds, you may still grow dog hair, Canine teeth, dog ears and other things are rejected by ordinary people. After you learn the Tao, it will hinder your future foundation and roots..."

After speaking, Xu Dao looked at the little fox next to the swordsman and motioned to the swordsman.

But the swordsman listened to his warning, but he didn't seem to hear it, his body was still trembling, and he murmured: "Thank you, master, thank you..."

The swordsman prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Dao.

"Master's kindness, Sha has nothing to repay, and he will definitely repay the master's kindness from now on."

Xu Dao was not surprised when he got the answer from the swordsman. It must be known that what he wants to give to the swordsman now is a chance to "enter the Tao".

There are countless mortals in the world who are doing nothing. I don’t know how many people have gone through life and death, abandoned their wives and children, and severed their humanity in order to cultivate the Tao, but they are still blocked from the threshold.

Even if you don't practice the Tao, just being a servant of the Taoist is the dream of many people.After all, dogs rely on people's power, and there is a saying in the world that "chicken and dog ascend to heaven".

And the swordsman is quite old, he can barely be regarded as traveling all over the world, so he knows the hardships involved.

Knowing that Xu Dao was refining treasures for him in retreat for several days, the swordsman's excited mind went blank.As for the one or two disadvantages that Xu Daokou mentioned, he didn't pay attention to them at all.

The swordsman kowtowed and replied: "I understand what the master said, but I just hope the old slave will be lucky and not waste the master's money."

"Good." Hearing the swordsman's words, Xu Dao smiled even wider.He called the swordsman, let him approach, and said, "I'll help you take the medicine right now."

The swordsman kowtowed again, he hurried to Xu Dao and stood stiffly.Xu Dao patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to relax, and then cast a spell, imprisoning the opponent's body.

"The method of taking this pill is different from that of ordinary pills, so please bear with it."

Chat room.

Xu Daotu stretched out his hand, and inserted his left hand into the swordsman's left chest, opened his ribs, and lowered his head to fiddle with it.

The swordsman's face suddenly turned pale, but his body was imprisoned by Xu Dao, unable to move at all.

According to the secret technique, after getting the heart blood, it needs to be placed in the heart orifice of the person who needs to exchange blood.Washed by the blood, the blood from the heart will slowly dissolve, spread all over the body, and start to change the physical body of others from the heart orifice.

In addition, there are other methods in the secret art, and it doesn't have to be in the form of "heart blood".

Because the so-called "exchanging blood" refers to replacing not only blood, but blood vessels, and the method depends on the situation.

For example, you can extract the tendons of the demon and implant them into the human body; pull out the bones of the demon and replace them with the human body; steal the viscera of the demon and transfer them into the belly of a human... There are many methods, and they are all here and there.
