Chapter 215 Suppressing the Flesh
As time went by, Youjian Talisman became more and more famous in the ghost market, and the business became more and more prosperous.

In the end, because of its excellent quality and guaranteed quality, Xu Dao's talisman shop had seized half of the talisman business in the North Street Ghost Market within a month.

The Taoists who come in and out of the shop every day are like flowing water, making others envious.

Of course, there will occasionally be some small frictions, but in the end, either someone specially visits the door and sends a gift to express apology, or the other party who caused the friction disappears quietly, which is thought-provoking.

After such frictions occurred three or four times, the talisman store had completely established itself in the ghost market.

Fortunately, otherwise, if the troubles continue, Xu Dao should consider another way, maybe he can "solve troubles" and "help the poor" full-time to earn money.

After all, selling talismans is still taking money from others indirectly, while "helping the poor" is just reaching out to grab money from other people's pockets, and the latter will get the money faster.

It's just that Xu Dao's physical body is still in the process of transformation. It's okay to draw and draw spells and learn spells when he is full of food on weekdays, but the frequent hands-on with others consumes more blood than the gain.

As for using Yinshen out of body and people, one is that Yinshen's strength is not necessarily superior to others, and in addition, since Xu Dao entered the "Hundred Days of Foundation Building" in his physical body, he has never had Yinshen's out of body.

Today is different from the past, after his body was implanted with dragon blood, he was already in a state of rage, and when his Yin God was still in his body, he could barely use his will to suppress the restlessness in his body.

And once the Yin God leaves the body, it may not take a few days for his physical body to be completely affected by the dragon's blood, dehumanize him, and directly turn into a monster, and it is also possible that he will never regain his human form.

In this way, Xu Dao also discovered a difficult problem.

That is, the dragon blood was implanted into his body. As the days went by, not only would this situation not subside, but various habits might evolve into something engraved in his bones, similar to an instinctive existence.

And all the pure heart spells he practiced were all immortal spells, which were planted in the soul.

When the Yin God is in the body, the heart-cleaning spell can still suppress the blood of the body, but once the Yin God leaves the body, all the runes will follow the Yin God, so naturally the body cannot be taken into account.

That is to say, after the foundation of the physical body is established, Xu Dao's Yin God can no longer be separated from the body!
This point is also the biggest dilemma he has encountered so far in the dual cultivation of celestial and martial arts, and it needs to be carefully considered and pondered.

………………

Fu shop backyard.

There are formations arranged around the courtyard, which can shield people's eyes, and can also isolate the inside and outside, preventing the young people from sneaking in.

And under the ground of the courtyard, there is a recently opened underground quiet room, which is arranged with more rigorous formations.

Such an underground quiet room is exactly the retreat place that Xu Dao created for himself.

Because the talisman store has already opened, he estimated that the time he will stay in Jiangzhou City will not be too short. He has put in a lot of effort in the process of building the quiet room. The whole quiet room is four or five feet high, more than ten feet It is wide and several feet away from the ground, and its area is about the same size as the courtyard on the ground.

White oil candles as thick as a human arm were burning blazingly. The candle flames were as big as a baby's head, distributed all over the four sides of the quiet room, so that there was no shadow in the quiet room.

These candles are all made from the fat of monsters and beasts mixed with herbs. During the burning process, they will release a calming fragrance, which can assist Taoists in retreat and practice. They are expensive, and the shopkeeper of a certain shop personally gave them Dao sent it over as an apology.

Xu Dao was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room at this moment, with his head slightly bowed, holding a leather book in his hand, flipping through it slowly, and reading in his mouth.

The name of the leather book is "Cultivation of the Hundred Solutions", it is the Taoist book that inspired him a lot of truths, and it was passed down to the time of the Tang Dynasty.

Although he has long been familiar with the content of the book and has memorized it fluently, every time he encounters difficulties in his practice, Xu Dao will still take out the leather book and read it silently, trying to figure out the meaning of the chapters and sentences.

After reading "A Hundred Solutions to Cultivation" again, Xu Dao sighed softly, and slowly put the leather book on the table.

While tapping on the table with his fingers, he thought:
"As I have learned before, the pursuit of longevity in martial arts is to focus on the physical body, supplemented by consciousness. In other words, from the perspective of martial arts, human consciousness is born from the physical body and is determined by the physical body. It is different from the cogito in immortality."

"In this way, for people in the martial arts, the soul cannot be separated from the body, not only because their soul is not solidified and unable to do it, but also because they cannot do so."

"Once the soul or consciousness is separated from the body, it is like a fire without wood, which will be extinguished in an instant. And after losing the suppression of their will, the body will also be like a wild horse that has run wild, falling into demons and collapsing."

Xu Dao continued to think in his heart: "During the Taoist period of body training, the physical body was a complete human body with a complete system. Even if the soul left the body, the physical body could still operate by itself, but it is different when it comes to the foundation establishment..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help lowering his head, and glanced quietly at his left hand, only to see a thought in his mind, and a phantom swaying in his physical body, it was his yin spirit that was about to leave his body.

But he didn't escape Yinshen, but maintained a half-detached state, and just pulled his consciousness away from his left hand alone.

In an instant, Xu Dao's left hand drooped, as if it had turned into a mass of dead flesh.

Immediately afterwards, his left hand trembled by itself. Pale white scales grew out of it, the nails became longer and sharper, and the entire palm swelled, transforming into a monster's sharp claws, cold and sharp.

But what was even more frightening was that his palms hadn't stopped changing, there were actually granulation wriggling out from the gaps in the scales, proliferating and growing crazily, covering the palms and backs, which was extremely disgusting and terrifying.

Seeing such a scene, Xu Dao himself felt his scalp tingling.If there were mortals here, I'm afraid they would be scared to the ground.

In a daze, he realized that the scene in front of him was very similar to the situation on the mirage's corpse in the Dragon Palace back then.

But this is not because of the particularity of the mirage dragon's blood.If he used any monster or goblin flesh and blood as the spiritual root and planted it in Xu Dao's body, the situation of his breaking through the foundation would still be the same.

This is because after the spiritual root was implanted, the self-system of Xu Dao's physical body was shattered, although the physical body also broke through the limitations of the human body, gained extraordinary power, and possessed two kinds of innate spells.

But there are advantages and disadvantages. The self-system of the physical body is chaotic, the spiritual root is strong, and the instinct is enlarged. If the will is not suppressed at all times, the physical body is always at risk of self-collapse.

Especially in the process of building a foundation in a hundred days, the dragon's blood spirit root is not compatible with the human body, and the risk of collapse is even greater.

And this is also the main reason why Xu Dao has never taken the initiative to do anything with others recently.

Once the action is taken, the body's movements are violent, the energy and blood are consumed excessively, and the Yin God's actions to suppress the body are also negligent, which will directly affect the transformation process of the body, and there may even be a rejection reaction in the body, and the dragon's blood will start to overwhelm the host and attack itself stand up.

Fortunately, after a hundred days or so, the physical body has completely transformed from a human body into a dragon-like body, and its spiritual root is stable, so the risk of collapse is greatly reduced.

But even so, after the establishment of the foundation, the will of the martial arts priests still cannot be separated from the physical body, otherwise they will immediately be in danger of going crazy, and the Taoist industry will collapse.

A soft sigh sounded faintly in the quiet room.

Xu Dao closed his eyes slightly, and the thirty or so pure-hearted talismans in his brain vibrated, bringing his left hand under the control of the soul again,
A numb, jerky feeling appeared on his left hand, and in just a few breaths, he already felt that his left hand was a little out of control.

If his soul really came out of his body, he would allow his physical body to change under the drive of his spiritual root and instinct.

I'm afraid it won't take long for his physical body house to be completely changed, irreversible, and even reject the return of his soul, and it is not impossible to regenerate a consciousness.

Realizing this, Xu Dao's back burst into a cold sweat.

He quickly circulated Yinshen, his mana vibrated, and directly cut off the excess granulation growing on his left hand, and impacted his left hand with a huge amount of energy and blood, like a sacrifice to a magic weapon, and completely sacrificed the entire left hand back.

The root buds fell to the ground, and they were still wriggling, but after a few breaths, without Xu Dao's hands, they dried up by themselves, turning into pinches of white ash.

Familiar with it again and again, all the scales on the left hand have been removed, the nails have been retracted, and they have returned to the appearance of a white human hand, like a jade carving, and the horrible situation just now is not visible at all.

Seeing this, Xu Dao was completely relieved, but there was still a kind of fear in his heart:
"I thought that the practice at the stage of refining Qi and body was already difficult and dangerous. Many Taoist disciples were turned into inhumans, ghosts and ghosts, and died. I didn't expect that the practice after the foundation was established. It's more dangerous."

For a moment, Xu Dao frowned.

If this problem is not resolved, then his life and life double cultivation plan can come to an end.

And there is no turning back when he opens the bow. His physical body has already established a foundation, and the dragon's blood root has been implanted in his physical body. Unless he is willing to bear the consequences of shortening his life and asks a powerful man to help him cut bones and flesh, otherwise he can only continue for the rest of his life. Go on the martial arts.

Not to mention whether he is willing to lose his life, even if he is willing, Xu Dao can't find a powerful man who can help him remove bones and flesh, and replace his blood.

This kind of situation falls on other Taoists, especially for casual practitioners, basically there is no solution, and if there is a solution, it cannot be solved by yourself alone, you have to rely on the teacher and the elders.

Fortunately, Xu Dao is different. Although he does not have a teacher or elders to rely on, but with or without a talisman in hand, no matter what spells or martial arts he learns, as long as he has enough talisman money, it is as simple as eating and drinking. Help him find a way to succeed.

It just so happened that these days, as the business of Youjian Talisman Store has become more and more prosperous, it has made a lot of money.

On the one hand, Xu Dao is in order to expand his business, and on the other hand, he is also in order to temper his spellcasting ability. He has practiced a variety of spells again, including repelling objects, exhaling wind, controlling fire, and protecting himself...all of them Studied skills such as alchemy, tool making, and martial arts.

It's a pity that the martial arts skills in the Yaoyao Hall do not have secret books similar to the magic of immortality, so he can't directly start from the martial arts to solve the disadvantages of the physical body.

Fortunately, after day-to-day hard thinking and meditation, after increasing his knowledge, an idea in his mind gradually became clear.

"Since the problem cannot be solved fundamentally from the inside, why not start from the outside first and temporarily solve the problem."

Two options were circling in his mind, and he gave up one of them without hesitation.

"Alchemy is not what I'm good at, and the alchemy formula is rare, and I have to find someone to test the medicine. Whether I have a character talisman or not, after all, a talisman is more suitable for me." Xu Dao was sure.

The solution he thought of was to suppress and seal the physical body with external objects, and "freeze" the physical body when the Yin God came out of his body, so as to prevent the physical body from collapsing by itself.

The general idea is to combine a series of spells that purify the mind and calm the spirit, together with spells that block the effect, to form a repressive and pure spell array that seals the body of the dragon species and reduces the possibility of falling into a demon.

As for such a formation, first of all, it must be easy to use and convenient to arrange, and it is best to reuse it to save money.

Secondly, the security must be guaranteed. It must be researched and arranged by Xu Dao himself, and the key must not be known to anyone, otherwise it may be used by others in reverse.

All kinds of formations flashed through Xu Dao's mind one by one.

Or arrange the formation in a sealed container, and every time he comes out of his body, he will lie in it and seal himself up. It can be made into a coffin magic weapon, or it can be made into a piece of armor to wear.

Or weave spells and fold them into clothes, wear them on the body, and cover the whole body; or, like the Taoists with ink patterns in the temple of white bones, tattoo spells and patterns on the skin in the form of tattoos, driven by mana, can be reused...

The above methods are all inspired by Chen Wan's iron crotch, and he just figured it out.

Especially the first one.

Xu Dao has also experimented with it. He used a similar method to draw amulets on Jin Chan when the shop opened before.

Even now, drawing amulets on spirit objects to make a "talisman vessel" that can rival magical instruments in a short period of time has become the signature craft of Youjian Talisman Shop.

The first method, Xu Dao's experience is very experienced, and the success rate of suppressing the physical body is higher than other methods.However, there are several methods, each with its own advantages, making it difficult to choose.

After deliberating for a moment, Xu Dao narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in his heart: "The poor dao is going to die!"

The next moment, he flipped his palm, and a pale scale appeared in his hand...
