Xianlu

Chapter 161 All things are ready
In the courtyard of Xu Dao Station, he concentrated on filling the swordsman's heart with the "heart blood" extracted from the dog demon.

The swordsman watched Xu Dao cut his chest open, and subconsciously thought that Xu Dao was going to kill him. He didn't come back to his senses until he heard Xu Dao's explanation and found that there was no blood spurting from his chest.

But the severe pain of the flesh being cut open and the ribs being ripped apart still persisted, making the swordsman's old face pale and ferocious.Fortunately, while Xu Dao was confining his body, he even locked his teeth. Otherwise, under the severe pain, it is possible for the swordsman to accidentally bite off his tongue.

On the other hand, Su Jiu, the little fox girl, stayed aside. Although she also showed surprise on her face, she didn't suspect that Xu Dao was going to kill the swordsman.After all, she had experienced a similar experience to the swordsman in the carriage before, but she was covered with a layer of fox fur, while the swordsman was replaced with black dog blood.

Xu Dao was surrounded by Su Jiu, and suddenly remembered the secret art of harvesting and cutting that he had performed on Su Jiu.

Involuntarily, he thought in his heart: "Skin-changing and blood-changing, the two are quite similar. I don't know if the method of harvesting and cutting is also obtained from the secret foundation-building technique such as the blood-changing method."

It's just that right now is not a good time to think about this matter. He has to focus on the matter in front of him, lest the blood exchange take too long and leave too much sequelae for the swordsman.

Xu Daoxin performed it with his hands. After opening his chest, he used qigong to suppress the swordsman's wound, peeling away the flesh and fascia layer by layer until the steaming and beating heart was exposed.

Stretching out his fingertips, he gently cut an opening the size of half an egg on the swordsman's heart, and he squeezed the "heart blood" floating in his hand into it.

After placing the demon blood, Xu Dao did not directly close the swordsman's chest, but took out the blended spirit liquid from the pouch, washed the fascia and flesh, and then closed the ribs and covered the membrane.

When he completely stopped, there was only a thin red mark left on the swordsman's chest, and it was not at all obvious that his heart and lungs had just been exposed to the eyes of others.

At this time, Xu Dao clapped his hands, shook off the blood that didn't exist in his hands, and then pinched a magic formula, and the swordsman's body was instantly unrestricted.

Open the chest and administer the drug, which takes about [-] minutes.

After the confinement was lifted, the swordsman suddenly felt that his body could move. His legs trembled and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he stabilized his body in time, so he didn't make a fool of himself in front of Xu Dao and Su Jiu.

Subconsciously holding the handle of the knife, the swordsman covered his beating heart, and suddenly felt that not only was there no more pain inside, but it was like a fire was burning, releasing a stream of heat, which gradually flowed through his body. All over his body, there was a faint tingling sensation in every part of his body.

"After the demon blood is implanted, the human body will experience rejection. The process is a bit painful, so you have to be patient. The pain will completely disappear after about a hundred days."

"At the same time, this process is also a process for the human body to quickly become familiar with the demon blood. There are great changes at this stage. I have drawn up a rule for you. In the following days, you will follow this rule, eat and drink, exercise your muscles and bones, and cycle every seven days."

While talking, Xu Dao took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to the swordsman.

The swordsman was still in a daze, he could read a few big characters, and found that the note written by Xu Dao was nothing more than stipulating how many hours a day he should rest, how to eat, and how to report his physical condition once a day.

"Yes." The swordsman gripped the note tightly, and immediately bowed to Xu Dao in response.

After getting the swordsman's answer, Xu Dao recalled some insights and thoughts he had in the process of implanting the swordsman's demon blood. He told the two of them: "There is still something to do with the poor Daoist. You two should not go out casually in the near future. The activities in the courtyard are."

After finishing speaking, Xu Dao was ready to walk away quickly.

But after he opened his legs, he walked up to Su Jiu who had been watching silently, stretched out his hand and rubbed the other person's head, and then stepped away.

After Xu Dao rubbed the head of the little fox lady, her ears pricked up comfortably, and she still moved a little bit.

Go back to the chamber.

Xu Dao took out the scroll that recorded the secret art of exchanging blood again, and he reviewed the content of the secret art of harvesting, folding and cutting, and compared them one by one.

After looking at it for a while, Xu Dao's eyes showed surprise, and he thought to himself: "It is very likely that it is the same kind of secret technique, the secret technique of foundation establishment!"

Although he occasionally thought about it before, the harvesting and cutting might be simplified from the method of planting spiritual roots, but because he didn't have the skills to compare with, he couldn't find a clue, so he could only take it as a guess.

And right now, after performing a blood exchange method, Xu Dao immediately noticed the clues from the two and found out the clue.

For example, whether it is the secret technique of exchanging blood or harvesting and cutting off, the time limit for "recovery" after the operation is a hundred days, and the word "hundred days" happens to be related to foundation establishment.

It is all because there is a saying of "a hundred days to build a foundation" in cultivating the roots. It takes about a hundred days for a Taoist to plant a spiritual root. If it is too short, the spiritual root will be unstable. If it is too long, the blood will reject it. , rooting failed.

During these hundred days, the body and soul of the Taoist will be greatly improved, the spiritual root will communicate with the heaven and the earth, the magic power will be endless, and the power will be infinite, and every day will be better than one day.

After a hundred days, if Ligen does not fail, the Taoist can be called a foundation-building monk, and his progress in strength will slow down, and the changes in his body and soul will no longer be so obvious, but will subtly change. Magic body demon body.

This is also the reason why Xu Dao explained similar things to the swordsman just now, except that he replaced the foundation building in a hundred days with a saying-a hundred days of injury.

In addition, the functions of the various prescriptions involved in the picking and cutting and blood exchange secret arts are also similar, and the common medicinal materials used in them overlap as many as five fingers.

Holding the blood-exchanging scroll, Xu Dao sat cross-legged in the cauldron in the secret room, thinking in his heart: "If the next changes of the swordsman not only conform to what is said in the blood-exchanging method, but also in line with what is said in the secret art of harvesting and cutting, then it will be It can be determined that the two are the same type of secret technique, and both belong to the method of planting spiritual roots."

It cost nearly a thousand talismans, and with the medicinal materials prepared by Miao Nu and the two demon corpses, Xu Daocai refined such a small group of "heart blood". surgery.

It's just that after the refining is successful, the medicine is rare, and Xu Dao is also short of someone to try the medicine, so he took advantage of the opportunity to reward the swordsman to win his heart.

Thinking silently in his heart, Xu Dao thought to himself: "It depends on the changes in the swordsman."

If it can be determined through the experiment on the swordsman that the two secret arts are of the same type, then Xu Dao can think about applying the method of harvesting and cutting to the blood exchange method.

In this way, the two complement each other. In the future, he will use this method to build a foundation for himself, and the possibility of success will be greater.

"At the beginning of the year, I learned the art of life-cutting. I thought that evil people would do evil if they used it, and good people would do good if they used it. So I wrote it down, but I didn't expect this art to be related to foundation building. Fortunately..."

With so many thoughts in his mind, Xu Dao fell into deep thought for a moment.

………………

the next time.

Xu Dao finished his practice of refining medicine in seclusion. Except for occasionally going into the secret room to study the prescription, he spent the rest of his time observing the changes in the swordsman's body.

Its changes did not disappoint him.

After implanting the blood of the yellow dog demon, the hair on the top of the swordsman was recolored in just one night, and the gray was gone, but it was not black, but turned yellowish brown.

His nasal orifice has also become sharper, far exceeding that of ordinary people, and Xu Dao almost mistakenly thought that he had practiced a spell.

In addition, the most obvious thing is that the swordsman's body is strong. His original body is bent and his stature is not medium, but after the blood exchange, he opens up again and grows like a joint.

this day.

Xu Dao set up a wicker chair in the yard, and he lay on his back, his eyelids drooping, looking at the scene in the yard.

There were two people in the arena. The swordsman held a long knife made of hardwood in his hand, and was still wrapped in a leather jacket. The heat was steaming, but he didn't feel stuffy.

Compared with ten days and a half months ago, his figure has changed greatly. The wrinkles on his face have disappeared, and he has changed from an old man to a middle-aged man.

At this time, he was standing in the field, fighting with Su Jiu.

Su Jiu was wearing a Taoist robe and had no weapons in her hands, but she stood in the arena without fear of the swordsman at all, and she was able to avoid the swordsman's swordsmanship every time she walked and split her palms, and even directly blocked the swordsman's swordsmanship with her hands.

The two of you come and go, the fight is exciting and dangerous.

Fortunately, both of them are not ordinary people now, and with Xu Dao here, even if they were fatally injured in the eyes of ordinary people, they could still be rescued by Xu Dao.

Xu Dao narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them, with a look of interest on his face.

He was not interested in the moves and martial arts of the two of them, but in the various changes in the two of them.

In addition to a pair of fox ears swaying in the wind, Su Jiu in the field also had something dangling in her robe, which looked extremely fluffy and huge.

This thing Xu Dao is very familiar with, it is the fox tail of the little fox lady.

The two were fighting, and as the moves became more and more fierce, Su Jiu couldn't hide it, and the point of the fox's tail had leaked from under the robe, making it even more ostentatious.

Except for Su Jiu, the swordsman on the other side has no tail, but his head is brown and yellow, his arms and palms are covered with sparse but far better than ordinary hair, and the shape of his nose has changed even more. The shape of the nose.

With disheveled hair, the swordsman's movements also seemed unusual, rather like dogs.

This is because the changes caused by the demon blood have already occurred, and the swordsman has been affected by the habits of the demon dog, and he has not had time to adjust in the future.

Fortunately, as a man, Swordsman is still a veteran who has lived most of his life. He doesn't pay much attention to his face and movements. He is just pleasantly surprised by the return of his energy, returning from old age and becoming a mature man.

Looking at the two people with the blood of a fox and the blood of a dog, a word suddenly popped up in Xu Dao's mind: "fox friends and dog friends".

He laughed dumbfoundedly, shook his head, and threw the word that he might have scolded out of his head.

But Xu Dao looked at the two people in the field, still with a faint smile on his face.

According to the observations in the past ten days, all the changes in the swordsman are in line with the records in the secret art of exchanging blood and harvesting and cutting.

This means that Xu Dao's blood-exchanging secret technique can really replace people's bloodlines and implant demon blood, and it also means that the harvesting and cutting are of the same type.

During these days, while observing, he also combined the two secret arts, and gained a lot.

It is worth mentioning that the changes in Su Jiu have a definite explanation.

When Xu Dao rescued Su Jiu in the convoy, she was devoured by a wild fox girl, her scalp was peeled off, and her life was dying, so he covered her with the fur of the wild fox girl as a cure.

Because of the fox blood inheritance in Su Jiu's body, and it is still the blood of a fairy, and because the technique used by Xu Dao was simplified by the foundation-building secret technique, the blood of the wild fox girl invaded Su Jiu's body and induced her The blood of the fox demon, which was already looming, was completely revealed.

All of the above situations, whether it was Su Jiu or the swordsman, allowed Xu Dao to find a feasible way to "plant spiritual roots". He now has everything he needs and only owes the "spiritual roots".

Of course, the current method of planting spiritual roots in his hands can only plant flesh spiritual roots, which is suitable for foundation building in martial arts, but cannot plant soul roots, which is not suitable for foundation building in immortal ways.

For a while, Xu Dao pondered in his mind: "Where should I go to find the spiritual roots of martial arts?"

People in martial arts build a foundation, and the spiritual roots must be picked from monsters or goblins, but the two are rare, even if he knows where they are, he dare not go to the door.

Because monsters are everywhere, those who can be called "monsters" are powerful, comparable to Taoists among Taoists, and they are monsters in the foundation-building realm.

And what can be called a "fairy" is even a big monster. There is a demon core in his body, which is a monster in the golden core realm.

Both of these are not objects that Xu Dao can afford to provoke at present.Don't talk about borrowing the other party's flesh and blood, I am afraid that the other party will swallow his flesh and blood in one gulp.

If he hadn't been worried about this, Xu Dao would not have escaped from the Temple of Bones.

Thinking of the most critical point in building the foundation, Xu Dao frowned.Fortunately, apart from the above two sources of spiritual roots, there is actually another method.

He inadvertently glanced at Su Jiu.

That is, like a Miao girl, extracting blood from the body of a demon.

If the blood in the demon's body is inherited from monsters and goblins, then Taoists can get the corresponding blood, but it is thin and mixed.

But there is a solution to this too.Without him, win by quantity and continue to extract the essence.

If one monster is not enough, then ten or a hundred, or the whole clan will be boiled into the cauldron, traced to its origin, and obtained the essence and blood of its ancestors.

Xu Dao thought about this calmly, but his heart was about to move.

Naturally, he was not thinking about killing people to take blood, but thinking about taking living things other than humans.

It should be known that by refining the blood of the donkey demon, Xu Dao was already boldly testing his own Dao heart.If he violated human relations again, he might leave disasters behind.

Xu Dao secretly said in his heart: "The demon species is also counted as the wild fox girl. There should be a non-human race in the world, whose ancestors are great demons..."

It's just that Miao girl was looking for a demon species to survive, and she only met Su Jiu, let alone a non-human race that multiplied in groups.

Inadvertently, Xu Dao thought of the huge scaled thing seen in the iron palace at the bottom of the lake in Shezhao.

Just being hit by the sunlight, he narrowed his eyes again...
