Chapter 459 Refining Goddess
The medicine is not complete, and through the changes in Xu Dao's body, he found that Xu Dao's cultivation base has been greatly improved.

Although this person's state is not as advanced as that of Le Lao, and he cannot tell Xu Dao's specific actions at a glance, but the other party can be sure that Xu Dao's improvement in Taoism is decades, not just a few years.

It has only been a little over two years since the three of them met last time. Such progress made it unbelievable that the medicine was missing.

When the other party was in a daze, there were footsteps outside the elegant room again, and a figure appeared behind Yao Buqi, who also looked at Xu Dao and Le Lao, showing surprise.

The person who came later was one of the protagonists of the party, Jianxiu Zeng Shijian.

Xu Dao saw the two arrived as promised, he gave each other a slap in the face, and shouted: "Friend Yao, Zeng Daoist, take your seat quickly!"

Zeng Shijian also noticed that Xu Dao's cultivation base had greatly increased, but his performance was better than the lack of medicine. He nodded in return and said: "It seems that Xu Daoyou's retreat this time has really gained a lot."

The man put away the astonishment on his face, and with a smile on his face, he took his seat as he said, and sat cross-legged in front of the table in the elegant room.

The medicine came first, but Zeng Shijian was a few steps slower. His eyes were still on Xu Dao, looking at him in surprise.

As soon as Yao Buqi took his seat, he asked Xu Dao, "You Daoist Xu, what kind of panacea did you get? In just two years, your cultivation base has increased so much."

Xu Dao still said politely: "Fellow Daoist said it, it's just that you can get something from retreat."

While the three of them were talking, Old Le next to him was smiling, holding the spiritual wine in the jade altar, filling each of the three of them, and persuading them aloud: "It's such a good thing, we should drink a cup, Congratulations to fellow Daoist Xu!"

Seeing Le Lao raising his glass, Xu Dao and the others stopped what they were saying and raised their glasses in time.

The cold wine passed through the throat and penetrated into the abdomen, which really made people feel peaceful, but the chest and abdomen were hot again, relaxing the tendons and activating the blood, and slowly seeping out the pure aura and alcohol.

Even with the physique of a Taoist priest who established the foundation, he felt a little smoked.

Xu Dao praised: "Good wine!" The other two also nodded in agreement.

After drinking a cup, the medicine was missing and he asked again: "Fellow Daoist Xu, please tell me, what's the matter with your cultivation base."

It's not very polite to ask a question like this, so the medicine is not available, so I added a reason: "Someone is an alchemist, and I really want to know which kind of elixir the fellow daoist took."

Zeng Shijian was calm, but also curious.

Le Lao was holding a wine glass and watching with a smile on his face.Two of the three people in the small gathering were surprised by Xu Dao's progress, so no one cared about Le Lao's coming without warning.

Faced with repeated questions from others, Xu Dao paused, and truthfully told the inside story: "It's not a panacea, it's just that the poor have tried their best to polish off the evil spirit of the evil spirit, and then refine it."

Looking at Le Lao's performance, it was obvious that the other party had already guessed the reason for Xu Dao's progress, and instead of covering it up, he might as well explain it openly.

Anyway, his actions on Fanxing Island couldn't be hidden from Yao Zeng and the others, and now that the evil spirits have been used up, Xu Dao is still looking forward to getting some more from other people.

The medicine was missing, Zeng Shijian was chewing on the words "evil god thoughts", and under Xu Dao's reminder, he just remembered that it was a bloody remnant soul in the Starry Archipelago.

They were even more surprised when they got this answer.

In the eyes of the two, although the idea of ​​the evil god is miraculous, there are many impurities in it. In theory, it can indeed be absorbed by refining, but only in theory.

In their hands, they can at most be used to raise ghosts and refine magic weapons. If they swallow and refine them, they will definitely go crazy and go crazy.

For a moment, the faces of the two were different. Zeng Shijian showed a suddenly realized expression, and took the initiative to toast Xu Dao with a glass of wine.

Yao Buqi's eyes were still full of surprise, and he said in his mouth: "The evil spirit in my thoughts has been removed... Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xu is a master of alchemy?"

At this time, without waiting for Xu Dao to speak out, Le Lao took the initiative to take over the conversation, and said with a smile: "Your medicine doctor is wrong, Xu Daoyou is not a master of alchemy, but a person in the talisman formation, with superb skills!"

Xu Dao nodded modestly, and said politely: "Where is it, I just like to play with some talisman formations."

Le Lao shook his head, he didn't say anything, but in private, his spiritual sense fell into Xu Dao's ear, and said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, don't hide your clumsiness anymore, if you can refine that evil spirit idea, I'm afraid You have thoroughly studied the Taoism of the Xuanzhen Sect, and you have achieved a small amount of success in cultivation!"

Xu Dao immediately confirmed: "Sure enough, the Taoism of the Xuanzhen Sect has a relationship with the idea of ​​refining evil gods! The master of the Qianlong Pavilion is seeking the goddess of Fanxing Island and wants to refine her."

He also understood why Le Lao was full of smiles and respectful when he first saw him
It should be that the other party guessed this point, and determined that he was either a formation master, a formation genius, or both.

And no matter which one, it means that Xu Dao has inherited part of the Taoism of the Xuanzhen Sect, and it is possible to arrange a ninth-rank alchemy formation!
In the elegant room, Xu Dao didn't mean to take the opportunity to show off, he lied: "Although the cultivation base has indeed increased a lot during this retreat, the poor Dao is also eager for quick success and quick benefits. It takes a lot of time to polish, but I don’t know whether it’s good or bad.”

Le Lao was noncommittal when he heard it, and Zeng Shijian just nodded when he heard it, and swallowed a glass of wine.

But when Yao Buqi heard it, the jealous expression flashed across his face.

The man laughed dryly and said: "That's right, how could it be a bad thing to increase your cultivation? Fellow Daoist Xu entered Ningsha for only two years, although he is still the lowest among us, but it won't be a few years, I'm afraid He is the highest among us!"

He squinted at Xu Dao, and changed the subject: "I don't know if fellow daoist Xu can tell us about the method of refining the thoughts of evil gods. After all, we didn't know that fellow daoist could obtain such treasures at the time, so we leaked it to fellow daoist Xu. Once, but it won't be so cheap for you."

Although this person has been hiding his jealousy, the words in his mouth become more and more thorny, especially the eyes, which have been hanging on Xu Dao since he entered the door.

For Taoists, non-friends are not allowed to ask about the secrets of exercises, treasures of practice, and even the specific number of years of Taoism is a taboo.

Yao Buqi just asked why Xu Dao's cultivation base soared, it was already a bit out of line, now he continued to ask, and not only didn't want to exchange benefits, but was running on Xu Dao to pick up leaks, which fell into the eyes of the people around him. I don't know what my last name is anymore.

It should be known that on that day, the other party personally agreed to take the human soul and abandon the idea of ​​evil gods, and if it wasn't for Xu Dao, this person would probably have died, so how could he continue to sit on the table drinking and chatting?Even if Xu Dao didn't say a word, it was Xu Dao who cheated him, and it was his own fault.

Faced with this person's behavior, Xu Dao couldn't help but laugh for a while.

In the past three years, everyone had a good friendship, and the other party did him some small favors. He didn't yell at him, but just bowed his head and tasted the wine, ignoring the other party.

There was a sudden silence on the table, and the atmosphere froze.

Yao Buqi continued to laugh a few times, realizing something, he lowered the smile on his face, and just drank alcohol with a cold face.

What was supposed to be a rejoicing gathering suddenly turned into an embarrassing scene. Xu Dao lost his interest for a while, so he raised his wine glass and said to the three of them, "Drink wins!"

In fact, as early as participating in this gathering, Xu Dao expected that such a situation might appear, but he didn't expect it to happen.

Fortunately, it was just that the medicine was not available for one person.

While drinking, Xu Dao's eyes were not in line with the medicine, but the other party's eyes still had hints of jealousy and complaint.I'm afraid this person is thinking in his heart that out of the decades of Xu Dao's soaring cultivation base, there should be ten years that should have belonged to him.

Xu Dao sneered in his heart, remained motionless, and looked at the other party with clear eyes, with a little playfulness in his eyes.

"Huh!" At this time, the medicine was not ready, and he made a noise through his nose, put down his wine glass, and snorted coldly: "Pindao still has a few furnaces of pills that are being refined, and the fire is difficult to adjust, so he left first, everyone continue .”

After finishing speaking, the man suddenly got up, and without saluting, he opened the wooden door and walked out of the elegant room quickly.

Faced with the departure of the missing medicine, Xu Dao's complexion did not change. He just shook his head and commented secretly: "In the past, I only knew that this person was quite arrogant, but now I know that his temperament is also so narrow. Or the number of times of communication is too small. , the result is only known now.”

With such a temperamental person, let alone a deep friendship, I am afraid Xu Dao has already been hated by the other party.

In the West Sea, such people who are short-sighted and have high self-esteem are not in the minority.

After leaving without all the medicines, Le Lao said something, as if trying to smooth things over:
"Fellow Daoist Yao Buqi's alchemy skills are superb. In the past two years, not only in the pavilion, but also in the sea market, he is well-known and highly respected, but he tends to talk too much."

But Le Lao didn't say too much, and when the topic changed, he called Xu Dao and Zeng Shijian to drink: "Drink quickly!"

"After the wine is opened, it must be drunk within half a day, and it cannot be left overnight. This old man also entrusted the blessing of Xu Daoyou today, and this is why he has this blessing."

While chatting, the three of them took the spiritual food brought by Xu Dao. The atmosphere was not very enthusiastic, but it was harmonious.

After the altar of spiritual wine was exhausted, the three of them, who were the Taoist priests who established the foundation, were all smoked, and they were only a hair away from being drunk.

Among them, Zeng Shijian hugged his own sword box and hummed a little song. He swallowed the last bit of wine in the cup, then shook himself up, breathed out the alcohol and said to Xu Dao and the others:

"Thank you for your hospitality, this wine is very good! It's rare to be so drunk, I will take my leave first, and find a place to sleep!"

"Haha! Talk slowly, both of you." Although this person looked dull on the surface, his thoughts were delicate, and he seemed to have guessed early in the morning that Le Lao had something to discuss with Xu Dao.

After Xu Dao and Le Lao stayed for a few words, they also stood up and sent each other out of the elegant room.

When the wooden door of the elegant room was closed again, Le Lao didn't go back to his seat directly, but walked to a snake wood carving in the room.

He fiddled with it a few times, causing the whole room to vibrate, and the spiritual light emerged. It was already a re-arrangement, which further isolated the inside and outside, and could prevent the conversation in the room from being heard.

Xu Dao sat back on the futon by himself, a little drunk, waiting for Le Lao to talk.

Unexpectedly, the first sentence the other party said after sitting back made his eyes clear, and his drunkenness disappeared immediately.

Old Le crossed his hands, and respectfully said: "Not much to say, Xu Daoyou is good at talisman formations, this old man invites you on behalf of the master, and wants to use the skills of Daoist friend to refine the goddess of stars!"

The other party paused, and explained: "This Goddess Fanxing is the white-haired evil god that fellow Taoists call."

"Oh?" Xu Daoqing groaned, squinted at the other party, and remained silent for a long time, pretending that he hadn't reacted because of alcohol.

Le Lao continued to talk eloquently:

"Fellow daoists, after capturing this goddess of stars, this pavilion, like fellow daoists, found a way to refine it. In addition to turning it into pure thought power, it can also extract its essence and use it as a superior spiritual root. Planting it into someone else's body... And one of these methods is the Xuanzheng Sect's Ninth Grade Pill Formation."

"This pavilion has already invited all the people who are proficient in the profound formation method within a radius of 50 li, no matter how big or small they are, to the pavilion. You are the only one left now."

Old Le bowed again: "Although I am very anxious, but in order not to disturb Fellow Daoist Xu's practice, I have waited until now, so I came here without warning."

"Now it seems that what I waited for was very correct. Even if Fellow Daoist Xu is not the most proficient in Xuanzheng, he is also the most talented person in the pavilion, and he is most likely to help the Lord!"

With such words, in addition to explaining the cause and effect, it also promised a lot of benefits. Basically, once the success is achieved, and Xu Daofan asks for it, Qianlong Pavilion will respond to it.

According to Xu Dao's observations during the past three or four years, the other party's words are quite credible.

At least Qianlong Pavilion has never owed any bills, and after the Fanxing Island incident, it has made up for compensation for the second time, which is somewhat rare in the West Sea.

It's just the causal relationship between Xuanzhenzong and Fanxing Goddess that the other party said, Xu Dao is more inclined to think that Xuanzhengzong's ninth-rank Dancheng formation is in front, and Qianlong Pavilion intends to capture Goddess behind.

But these have nothing to do with him, he is just one of the talisman fighters collected by the other party.

Xu Dao didn't answer immediately, he was surprised by what the old man said, asked several times in detail, and finally nodded in response: "It's a meager effort!"

To be honest, he had no room for rejection at all.The other party had already talked about the Qianlong Pavilion Master in his words, so he valued him so much, which also showed that he would not let him go.

The person who can control Jindan Daoist is not something Xu Dao can deal with now.

After Le Lao heard it, he was overjoyed and shouted: "With the help of fellow Taoists, the refining of the goddess can be expected."

The two communicated in detail again, and Xu Dao found out that apart from the Xuanzhen Sect's Ninth Grade Pill Formation for refining the Star Goddess, the Lord of the Qianlong Pavilion also prepared other means, including pills, magic weapons, etc. .

And according to what Le Lao said, there are several things that are as important as the formation of Jiupin Dancheng, which made Xu Dao's heart move:
"Is it also a treasure that is beneficial to forming alchemy, and can improve the level of alchemy?"
