Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 114 Ding Family's Pills

The third from the bottom of the Southern Wilderness savage monsters is the Southeast Li Wu, commonly known as Southeast Li, or Nanwu Lishan, Nanli, Jiuli, etc.

Over the past year, Xu Boyang has not made any friends with any Liwu forces. The Liwu chieftains and their vassals in Nanhu have locked themselves on the island and are not allowed to leave. Moreover, there are very few Liwu cultivators on the Thousand Stars and Ten Thousand Islands Lake, so there is no chance of meeting them at all.

In addition, Monk Li had never been to Jiuli and knew very little about it. He only knew that he had accepted a guest scholar named Wuba, who was already in the middle stage of the [Gathering Spirit Realm]. Unfortunately, this person seemed to have escaped after being stabbed in the back.

However, Xu Boyang humbly consulted his nephew Lang Mo Weiyu and gained a basic understanding of this mysterious and strange southeastern force adjacent to Qingshen Nanhuai County.

According to Lang Mo Weiyu, Li Wu cultivated the art of spiritual communication in the witch domain. Initially, he was at the two realms of [Body Tempering] and [Spirit Gathering]. It is said that he used his spiritual consciousness and then the witch domain to connect with the goblins and ghosts underground, thus obtaining strange witchcraft.

Legend has it that these goblins and ghosts living underground are all extremely powerful and have unique skills, but for some unknown reason, they cannot come out directly from underground. However, they seem to have a blood relationship with the Li Wu. They can communicate with the Li Wu who casts witchcraft through their spiritual consciousness, so as to achieve the purpose of using the body to cast spells.

Therefore, a [Spirit Gathering] wizard who is proficient in witchcraft is a relatively powerful magician. Once the goblins and ghosts he is loyal to are relatively powerful and obedient, he can use them to perform powerful magic that defies the heavens, often killing people invisibly.

Of course, Li Wu also has shortcomings, and they are fatal.

Their [Body Tempering] realm is divided into three sub-realms: tough skin, strong bones, and boiling blood. This initial stage basically means constantly tempering the body in various blessed caves and sacred springs, making the body strong enough so that after [Gathering Spirits], when the goblins and ghosts underground descend upon them, they can withstand the huge spiritual consciousness and the powerful spiritual power of spells, and will not explode and die.

Therefore, the Li Wu at this stage has no spiritual awareness and does not know witchcraft, which leads to his average strength. However, his brain is smarter than the Qi Ling little demon, and his body is strong, much stronger than that of the Buddhist family.

After reaching [Spirit Gathering], the situation improved, but it was not an overnight success or a drastic improvement.

After gathering the spirits and gaining spiritual awareness, Li Wu needs to cultivate earth spirits in his sea of ​​consciousness that can combine with goblins and ghosts. For Li Wu, there is a world of difference between cultivating earth spirits and not cultivating earth spirits, just like the difference between a Taoist cultivator at the fifth level of Ningyuan and a cultivator at the sixth level of Ningyuan.

Once the earth spirit is cultivated in his brain, Li Wu will be able to travel through mountains and underground, and hide his veins for thousands of miles. However, he has already reached the middle stage of gathering spirits, and unfortunately he still cannot communicate with spirits. He can use some simple witchcraft, and his cultivation level is roughly equivalent to the sixth to ninth levels of Taoist Ningyuan.

However, it is very difficult for Li Wu to cultivate the earth spirit on his own, unless he has help from a senior or takes the Taoist awakening spirit pill.

The most powerful thing about Li Wu is that he reaches the late stage of gathering spirits. At this time, Li Wu can connect to the underground through the earth spirit in his brain, and obtain the spiritual consciousness of the underground goblins and ghosts, and thus possess them.

Because they can communicate with spirits and possess bodies, their strength is similar to that of a Taoist who can instantly reach the late stage of foundation building from the sixth level of Condensation, which is extremely powerful.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a pheasant turned into a phoenix overnight.

Legend has it that those who have cultivated from the [Spirit Gathering Realm] to the [Witch Pattern Realm] are called Great Witches and are already the leaders of a tribe. And the Li Witches who have cultivated from the [Witch Pattern] to the [Witch Domain] are even rarer and are almost the same as the Taoist Purple Mansion True Person, and are respected as Witch Kings.

It is said that the Witch King can create a Witch Domain in his mind, directly summon underground goblins and ghosts to descend into his sea of ​​consciousness, become one with them, and with a wave of his hands and a move, he can turn the world into hell in an instant.

Ever since learning about Li Wu's background, Xu Boyang finally understood why his Taoist Qingshen was so strict in controlling the elixirs. He had no choice but to resort to this last resort in order to protect himself. It was a pity that no matter how hard he tried to guard against it, he could not guard against people's hearts.

After Li Wu, we came to the third of the six major families in the country, the Sihai Crystal Palace.

In fact, the Four Seas Crystal Palace and the Southern Wilderness Savage Monster are both monsters, and are roughly equivalent. They are stupid in the early stages, but they improve after they transform and open their intelligence and consciousness.

But the water monsters in the Crystal Palace are different from the wild monsters. They have the cultivation method of the dragon clan, that is, they can hide in rivers, lakes and seas, and their cultivation can grow slowly over time. When things are ready, they can improve their cultivation through metamorphosis. They do not need to practice like Black Tooth, nor do they need to devour like Qingqiu. After all, in the water, they have almost no external enemies unless other families invade.

Of course, the path for the dragon clan's [dormant incarnation] to transform into a dragon is extremely long and difficult. Not all water monsters will choose it and have the fate to choose it. To put it bluntly, this secret method is mostly limited to the bloodlines of the four major dragon clans of the aquatic nobles.

As for the other water monsters, if they have no bloodline, no way, or have a way but it is too slow, their ending is actually the same as that of the Black-Tooth Monster in the Southern Wilderness.

Just like the fish demon and snake Pingfu in Xinyue Lake, no matter what the reason, they did not choose to transform into dragons.

But this does not mean that the Crystal Palace's [Dormant Incarnation] is not strong.

The [dormant incarnation] of the Four Seas Crystal Palace can transform into a human form after one transformation, and possess the abilities of a Taoist Huangting Feathered Master. After two transformations, it can possess the strength of a Taoist Zifu Zhenren.

It is said that it can transform three times, but it is beyond the knowledge of most people in the country, and no one knows what kind of terrifying existence it is.

Moreover, when a dragon has sex, it will inevitably give birth to a dragon-like water monster that has undergone a metamorphosis. Although it is extremely difficult to breed, it is not impossible. In other words, the direct descendants of the dragon clan, whether they are Jiao or Qiong, have the strength to compete with Huang Ting Yu Shi as soon as they are born!

Because of the existence of the dragon clan, the overall strength of the Sihai Crystal Palace is stronger than the above three families. Xu Boyang firmly believes in this.

The second place above the Crystal Palace is Xu Boyang’s own Taoism.

Taoism itself has a balanced offense and defense, which is almost perfect. It has no particularly strong advantages, nor particularly weak disadvantages. It has many advantages, such as the early development of spiritual consciousness, the numerous refining tools, the world-leading alchemy, etc.

Xu Boyang had personally experienced all of this and understood it clearly. As for his shortcomings, they were not very strong before the sixth level of Condensation. Although he was not as weak as the Buddhists and the Barbarians, he still had a hard time facing some forces in the early days, such as Confucianism, Qingqiu, and the Dragon Clan, and was not very pleasing. Some of them were even unable to fight back.

As for Confucianism, which ranks first, it basically has all the advantages of Taoism, except that it does not know how to make elixirs. However, Confucianism does not have the early shortcomings of Taoism.

It has always been a consensus among all schools of thought that Confucianism was strong in the country in the early days. Otherwise, they would not have occupied such a large territory in the north, with thousands of miles of fertile fields and cities everywhere.

As soon as Confucians step into [Li Qi], they can fly, with spiritual energy overflowing and powerful magic. Even when they reach [Yun Ling], they are not much inferior to Taoist foundation building. Overall, they are indeed stronger than Taoists in the early and middle stages. The only drawback is that their spiritual awareness is slightly slower to open than that of Taoists.

After learning about these things, Xu Boyang had a deeper understanding of why Su Yanlu cared so much about Qingshen. After all, in this chaotic world, with powerful enemies all around, if Qingshen was gone, how could the Taoists of the world find their home, and how could they seek the great Dao in their hearts?

Just like the current situation of the Black Teeth in the Southern Wilderness, it is a lesson learned. The Black Teeth Mountain Tribe, which is said to have 100,000 tribes, was forced to fall apart by various forces. They wandered everywhere and lived under the roof of others. They were like a dog that had lost its home and their hearts were like a boat without a mooring.

Today is different from the past. In Xu Boyang's heart, Qingshen is just like the bright moon in the sky at this moment. There is a lone moon in the bright sky. Who is the first person to see the moon by the river?
Xu Boyang looked for a moment and felt a little dazed, as if he was back in his old house in Lingxiupu, Fengqing Town. In the past, he and his father Xu Shaoliang also liked to sit in their own yard, move two chairs and sit under the moonlight, look up at the moon, lower their heads to drink tea, eat melon seeds and chat, it was so comfortable.

Now it seemed like a lifetime ago. Suddenly, he was overwhelmed by homesickness.

At this moment, Xu Boyang suddenly noticed a silver light coming from not far away in the air. When it got closer, he saw a white deer carrying a little girl. The silver spots on its body were shining with silver light and it was walking in the air.

Seeing this, Xu Boyang pursed his lips slightly. Now, his cousin Xu Boxiao would go to Zhuohua Island to learn alchemy after gathering energy and practicing in Zhuzhao Mountain every day. She would leave early and come back late. She was only at the fourth level of Condensation Yuan and could not use magic tools. It was troublesome for her to go back and forth, so Xu Boyang gave her [Bai Luxue].

The little girl was extremely happy since she got this spiritual beast. She would ask Taoist Bailu for good spiritual fruits to feed it all day long. The white deer was very understanding and after a few interactions, it became a mutual understanding between her and him.

In addition, his cousin Xu Boen is now in charge of the family. Sometimes he has to go down the mountain or out of Zhuzhao Island, which is inconvenient. In this regard, Xu Boyang specifically found Wolf Mo Changge and spent a thousand spirit stones to buy a black panther named [Ben Lei Dian]. It is extremely fast and is no worse than [Bai Luxue]. However, although this black panther is obedient and agile, it eats meat and is much more difficult to raise than [Bai Luxue].

However, eating meat has its benefits. This [Thunder and Lightning] is not weak at all when fighting. Ordinary Ningyuan cultivators may not be its opponents. Moreover, it is loyal to its master, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Brother!"

When Xu Boxiao saw Xu Boyang standing with his hands behind his back in front of the hall, he smiled sweetly, jumped down immediately after landing, and ran over happily. After all, he was only a ten-year-old child and his mind was not fully mature yet.

Xu Boyang glanced at the sky and said with a smile, "Boxiao, why are you so late today? Did the master keep you here?"

"No."

Xu Boxiao smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm helping Master! Big Brother, I was just about to look for you. Master heard that you're returning to Qingshen tomorrow, so she asked you to come over after you're done with your work. She'll be waiting for you at the Danshen Tower."

"Oh?"

Xu Boyang was slightly stunned.

In fact, Xu Boxiao didn't know that Xu Boyang had already made a special trip to Zhuohua Mountain in the afternoon and informed Su Zilu, Xiao Keqing and You Lao in person about the return to Qingshen early the next morning.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and the moon was hanging brightly in the sky. The people from both families should have entered their caves and started practicing. If there was no important matter, they should not be disturbed. However, Xu Boxiao suddenly said that this was Su Zilu's intention, which felt a little strange.

"Did something happen to her during her training?"

Xu Boyang thought to himself and couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, he was entrusted with an important task by Su Yanlu. When he was leaving, he repeatedly asked her to take good care of his sister for him. Moreover, over the past year, Su Zilu had worked diligently and hard, and made great contributions to Qinlong Mountain.

Especially three days ago, Xu Boyang was considering returning to Qingshen soon. After thinking it over again and again, he finally plucked up the courage to ask the question hidden deep in his heart. Before, because Lang Mo Changge had not made any move, he was worried about the taboo and was afraid of damaging the friendship between the two families, so he had not opened his mouth.

He didn't expect that Su Zilu would be so open with him, telling him everything she knew, and she was really open with him, which touched him deeply.

By now, Xu Boyang has basically figured out the situation of the Ding family supplying elixirs and the Three Thousand Academy collecting alchemy materials!

According to Su Zilu, the materials used to refine elixirs include the inner elixir of wild monsters, the bodhi of monks, and the earth spirit of wizards. Basically, they are used to refine elixirs that can invigorate spiritual consciousness and promote cultivation, such as the Yunling Pill, Qiling Pill, and Shenyuan Pill. There is also a Huangting Pill called the Huaxing Pill.

Because these three things are the essence of the three schools of Barbarian Demon, Buddhism, and Li Wu, just like the Confucian Temple of God and the Taoist Purple Palace, they are all related to the cultivation of spiritual consciousness.

Of course, Su Zilu said that Taoism is originally for the pursuit of immortality. Apart from killing wild monsters to obtain inner elixir and killing witches to obtain earth spirits, they will never kill their own kind to make elixirs. After all, this is against the way of heaven.

To put it bluntly, these things are not necessary for alchemy, but they can serve as substitutes. Not only can they be perfect substitutes, but the refining speed is even faster!
Xu Boyang was startled when he heard this. In this case, most of the pills provided by the Ding family to the Three Thousand Academy should be Yunling Pills, Qiling Pills, Shenyuan Pills, and that Huaxing Pill.

It goes without saying that the Soul-Enriching Pill can help Confucians break through, and the Soul-Awakening Pill can help barbarian monsters awaken their spirits and Li witches gather their spirits. As for the breakthrough pill, the Divine Yuan Pill, the Ding family has a branch in Samadhi Mountain, and there are three Taoist families in the Three Thousand Academies, so it will naturally be useful for breakthroughs.

Although the above three kinds of elixirs are expensive, they are not completely impossible to obtain. If you want to buy them, it is just a matter of how many spirit stones you have. Of course, it may also be a matter of quantity. After all, outside of Qingshen, it is extremely difficult to obtain enough elixirs in large quantities. The first-class Taoist alchemists are still in the hands of Qingshen Immortal Sect.

However, according to Su Zilu's guess, the most important thing might be the transformation pill.

Xu Boyang had never heard of this kind of elixir. After he learned about its effects, he couldn't help but gasp. He didn't understand why there was such a miraculous elixir in the world. It was even more powerful than the Soul-Turning Pill, and its effects were completely different from the Disguise Pill he had used before.

In this way, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false between people, and even the spiritual consciousness of those with low cultivation level cannot distinguish the true from the false. Even the Huangting Yushi cannot detect it unless he uses extremely powerful pupil techniques.

Not only that, this elixir can also significantly increase the success rate of the barbarian monster's transformation. The barbarian monster's transformation is like a Taoist breakthrough in realm. It is not necessarily successful. There is a certain probability of failure. Once it fails, it will also die.

As for the so-called collection of mortal blood, Su Zilu inferred that it should be a secret method of alchemy.

The other party must be using some kind of secret blood sacrifice method to refine the elixir. After the blood sacrifice of these materials, the medicinal power of the elixir is greatly enhanced, thus obtaining an elixir with exponentially increased effect.

In this way, the two are combined, in short, the elixir made is fast and effective!

At this point, Xu Boyang gradually realized the horror behind the Ding family's actions. If everything was true, it would have seriously endangered the safety of his own Fengqing Town and even the entire Qingshen. To put it bluntly, they were simply digging their own graves and playing with fire, so he was extremely worried about the situation at home.

After returning this time, he planned to investigate the matter secretly. If it was really the Ding family that had ill intentions, Xu Boyang planned to move all the people in Fengqing Town to Qinlong Mountain or to Cangwu.

Even if he is weak and alone, even if he goes to Cangwu to seek refuge with the Su family, he must completely draw a line with the Ding family. Otherwise, sooner or later, the truth will be revealed, and his family will be inexplicably implicated and suffer a devastating disaster.

Of course, Xu Boyang did not tell Su Zilu that all this was done by the Ding family and the Three Thousand Academy. He just said that he found some families outside doing this evil thing and used it to make elixirs.

After all, he was still a guest official of the Ding family when he returned to Qingshen. He only knew from the one-sided words of Monk Li that Ding Tianshi was involved with the Three Thousand Academy, so he must not jump to conclusions.

If there is any hidden secret, then you are just asking for trouble and shooting yourself in the foot.
