has the painful lesson of failing in the face of the Heavenly Tribulation last time, so Xue Ning's cultivation in this life pays great attention to the tempering of the body. Part of the aura inhaled into the body was used to condense the cyclone and give birth to the Taoist true qi in Xue Ning's body, and the other part was used by Xue Ning to refine the body.

Xue Ning also consumed aura at the cost of permanently increasing the strength of his body. This kind of improvement will not lead to a decrease in the strength of the body due to the consumption of true qi in Xue Ning's body.

Ordinary cultivators can infuse true qi into the whole body, so that the rou body has the strength of stainless steel, but such a rou body is strong, once the true qi in the cultivator's body is not good, it will immediately return to its original strength.

Xue Ning strengthened his body, but he could not use a part of his aura to protect his body when fighting with others in the future.

Black Bamboo Dao Sutra, every time a small realm is raised during the Qi cultivation period, the cyclone of the Great Qi Sea can condense one more spiral arm, and every additional spiral arm in Xue Ning's body makes Xue Ning's speed of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth increase exponentially.

From the first level of Qi training to the fourth level of Qi training, Xue Ning's speed of absorbing spiritual energy has increased by eight times. Such an extraordinary aura absorption speed made Xue Ning have a super aura recovery speed.

It was precisely with this True Qi recovery speed, which was eight times faster than that of ordinary Qi Cultivation Fourth-Layer True Cultivators, that Xue Ning could be regarded as having the capital to leave all the 1,000 local defenders in Linjiang County this time.

Xue Ning knew that if it was really a tough battle between the two armies, then his side would have almost no chance of winning, and the number of defenders in Linjiang County was ten times more than his own. But who is Xue Ning, Xue Ning is a cultivator who was once only one step away from being able to rank in the Mahayana Yuan Divine Realm of the Heavenly Immortal Class. The way that Xue Ning came up with to deal with the defenders of Linjiang County was a charm.

That's right, it's a charm, a kind of cultivation artifact that only low-level cultivators can use.

Spells drawn with cinnabar as the material and spells as the base can be directly used against the enemy once they are activated after being infused with aura.

Xue Ning's Yuan Shen is powerful, and the experience of the Mahayana Yuan God Realm also makes Xue Ning know a lot of spells. Among them, there are some extremely powerful spells, once triggered, even Earth Immortal level cultivators are difficult to resist.

Of course, with Xue Ning's current strength, he couldn't create a spell of that level. Most of Xue Ning's primordial spirits were in a state of self-sealing, and the only strength he had could only depict some low-level spells. But these low-level charms are more than enough to deal with the thousand local defenders in Linjiang County.

……

Because of Bai Yu's help, the defenders of Lin Jiang County were able to ignore the poisonous insect miasma of the Giant Wolf Mountain Range and were able to clarify the location of the Giant Wolf Cottage. Originally, it only took half a day to reach the Giant Wolf Cottage when he entered the Giant Wolf Mountain Range, but after Xue Ning entered the Giant Wolf Cottage, he ordered his subordinates to set up a lot of insidious and vicious traps on some of the necessary paths to enter the Giant Wolf Mountain Range.

The defenders of Linjiang County were unprepared in advance, and many soldiers fell into the trap prepared by Xue Ning's side by surprise, and were pierced by sharp wooden stakes

Before entering the mountain, dozens of people were lost, which made the local chief soldier of Linjiang County extremely angry.

"What's going on with these traps, you didn't say there would be traps on the way into the mountain before!" The head of the local general soldier of Lin Jiang County was about to be blown up, and I saw him grabbing Bai Yu's neck and collar brutally, and the posture was clear: "If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, I will kill you alive." ”

Bai Yu really wanted to cry without tears at the moment, and tried his best to say that there were no such traps here before he left, and these traps should have been set up later.

Perhaps because he felt that the white jade was still useful, although the local general soldiers of Lin Jiang County wanted to split the white jade directly alive, they finally suppressed the anger in their hearts and led the defenders of Lin Jiang County all the way towards the giant wolf cottage. But this time, this general soldier didn't dare to swagger and lead the army to advance brainlessly.

It's almost a step by step investigation, like a ghost in the future to sweep mines. Originally, it only took a small half-day trip, but it took a day to arrive.

The chief soldier originally wanted to order the burning of the cottage as soon as he arrived at the giant wolf cottage, so as to vent the tone in his heart today, but when he really saw the mountain gate of the giant wolf cottage from a distance. The soldier was furious.

"What the hell is going on, Bai Yu! Are you going to tell me that this is what you call the humble mountain gate? See for yourself what the is! You told me that you can attack with fire, but now you can teach me how the you can kill stones with fire! ”

After the general soldier roared and said these words, he only felt dizzy, and it was actually because he had just shouted too loudly that caused a lack of oxygen.

Bai Yu also wondered what was wrong with this chief soldier, and looked at the mountain gate of the giant wolf cottage with the hand of the chief soldier in confusion, this look didn't matter. Bai Yu's eyes were about to pop out.

"This! This! This...... How could it be! It's simply impossible! ”

As far as the eye can see, there is a huge wall that stretches halfway up the mountainside. The height of the towering walls is more than ten meters. The pitch-black iron city was closed. There is a post in five steps on the city wall, and a sentry in ten steps.

All of this explains that this is a well-guarded city. Not to mention that it was only a thousand local defenders in Linjiang County who came to attack the giant wolf cottage this time, even if the forbidden army of the national capital came to 3,000, it would cost a huge price to capture it.

"Impossible! I call you fucking impossible! ”

"Bump!" The local general soldier of Lin Jiang County was angry, and smashed the white jade out with one punch.

The local chief soldier in Lin Jiang County is tall and big, and his punch is not something that Bai Yu's small body can bear.

With just one blow, Bai Yu turned into a prawn, and fell to the ground with his body trembling all over.

Seeing that Bai Yu couldn't afford it, the local general soldiers of Lin Jiang County didn't care about Bai Yu's life or death anymore.

"Mr. Xu, the situation is not right, I think the gate of this giant wolf cottage is the wall of the national capital, and it is only such a scale, but this is just a cottage. General Xu Bing, looking down, if you want to attack the mountain, you have to think in the long run. ”

The person who spoke was Shen Yan, the deputy of Xu He, the chief soldier of Linjiang County, who was the henchman of the eldest prince, who was assigned to Linjiang County to control the local military power after ascending the throne. And Shen Yan was originally the deputy of the former general soldier of Linjiang County.

Shen Yan said in his heart: "With the scale of the city wall here in the giant wolf cottage, it is impossible for a group of bandits to build it, so if it is not for the bandits, the layout here must involve the participation of another mysterious force, and for this force, Shen Yan has no understanding here."

Although the state of this era had reached nominal centralization, in reality, the actual power of each family at the local level was still enormous. If it weren't for that, the second prince and the fourth prince would not have been able to pull together a team so easily after they fled back to the place. Those teams were originally the result of the expansion of their own family soldiers.

Shen Yan was already a little worried at the moment: "Isn't this a game that the third prince has arranged a long time ago." Thinking of this, Shen Yan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

Thinking that among the many princes, the three princes have always been known for their cunning and wisdom. If the third prince has actually been secretly operating here for a long time, then it is really not so easy for the thousand local defenders of Linjiang County to capture this place.

Xu He was born in the interest group of the great prince, and his predecessor was a centurion in the forbidden army of the national capital. With Xu He's eyesight, he could naturally detect the easy defense and difficult attack of the giant wolf cottage.

Knowing that they had not prepared to attack the city this time, Xu He had to order the whole army to be stationed at the foot of the mountain first. Later, he ordered the craftsmen of the army to urgently build siege equipment. Just wait for everything to be ready, and then storm the cottage.

The local defenders of Linjiang County did not attack the city, but blocked the giant wolf cottage at the foot of the mountain. The people on Xue Ning's side couldn't get out, and the people on Xu He's side couldn't get in, and the situation temporarily formed a confrontational situation.

For this confrontation situation, Xu He was very anxious, and Xu He was eager to attack the cottage and capture the third prince Xue Ning alive for his own future. Xue Ning is even more anxious, and the giant wolf cottage is now in a stage of rapid development. Outside, Xue Ning knew very well that the eldest prince must be trying his best to stabilize the rear at this time, as long as he completely controlled the whole country of Northern Xue Kingdom, then for them, the fugitive princes, the eldest prince would definitely not let go.

If you can't accumulate enough strength at this time, it will be a dead end at that time. It was precisely because of such external troubles that Xue Ning could not tolerate these defenders of Linjiang County besieging him and others.

Xue Ning plans to attack! took the initiative to attack, but before that, Xue Ning still needed to know more about the defenders of Linjiang County.

Thinking of how to obtain the other party's information at the moment, Xue Ning smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.

Xue Ning took out a stack of withered yellow rune paper from the space ring, a rune pen that Xue Ning had used to draw runes in his previous life.

The silver-white talisman pen is embossed with many strange and complicated lines all over the body.

This pen name: "Spiritual Drawing Pen" is Xue Ning's self-made drawing pen in his previous life, which can greatly increase the success rate of drawing symbols, and the spiritual drawing pen itself also has the effect of attracting and injecting spirits. The spiritual power in Xue Ning's body and the natural spiritual power from the outside world can be channeled into the rune paper.

With the formation pattern in the memory of the previous life. Xue Ning dipped the spirit pen in his hand and dipped it in cinnabar paint and began to draw on the rune paper.

It is not a ghost-drawn symbol, Xue Ning's talisman making technique is authentic Taoism, and the drawings drawn are all Taoist formations with strict and mysterious formats.

Xue Ning's primordial spirit is powerful, and his spiritual sense perception is super strong, so although he has not drawn a talisman for a long time, Xue Ning at this moment has no feeling of being born in his hands.

When Xue Ning's last stroke was completed, a faint fluorescence suddenly flashed on the dry yellow rune paper. Xue Ning knew that in this way, this rune paper would be considered to be made.

Picked up the depicted rune paper, and Xue Ning folded it into a paper crane with three or two clicks. Seeing this, everyone must have been able to think that there is no mistake, what Xue Ning just drew was a "paper crane talisman"

The paper crane talisman is a kind of intermediate rune paper in Taoist talismans, and if you want to draw it, you need the cultivator's own cultivation to reach the foundation building period and generate spiritual consciousness before you can do it.

Although Xue Ning's cultivation did not reach the foundation building period, Xue Ning opened up the sea of knowledge and produced spiritual consciousness, so this paper crane talisman Xue Ning can also draw.

After making the paper crane talisman, Xue Ning attached his spiritual sense to it, and pinched a strange magic seal on the paper crane. Later, I saw that this paper crane actually seemed to come to life. Slowly levitated, and turned around twice beside Xue Ning.

"Hehe, go keep an eye on the defenders of Linjiang County, and report as soon as you have an emergency." The paper crane made of paper crane talismans was as if it could really understand Xue Ning's words, so he nodded strangely, and then flew out of the room with a whoosh. Fly towards the garrison under the mountain of the defenders of Linjiang County.

"Alright, next, fire charm ......"

With the paper crane talisman outside, Xue Ning can finally rest assured. The rest of the time, Xue Ning planned to draw a batch of low-level spells for defending the city.

Xue Ning knew a lot of low-level charms, most of which were five-element charms. But Xue Ning thought that when the two armies faced each other, it should still be the fire spell that had the most lethality. Therefore, Xue Ning planned to draw a batch of "fiery charms".

As the name suggests, the "Fire Charm" can detonate a blazing fire ball in a radius of battle once it is triggered. Attacking the enemy with fire is the most efficient.

The "fiery talisman" is a low-grade, third-level talisman. The monks who have three layers in a row will master the method and will be able to paint independently. The fire charm is also different from the "paper crane charm", which must be controlled by spiritual sense, and the "fire charm" only needs to be pulled by spiritual power to be directly activated.

Xue Ning's strength is the fourth level of Qi training, and the choice of a low-grade and third-level talisman like the "Fire Talisman" is well thought out.

Because the drawing of a spell is not just a matter of drawing the corresponding pattern. If that's the case, the rune paper will only be in shape, but in reality it will not be of the slightest use.

The spell must be drawn and infused with the corresponding level of aura in order to have attack power. The stronger the spiritual power carried by a spell, the greater its lethality.

Practicing the four layers of qi and refining the "fiery talisman", Xue Ning can even draw seven or eight in one go. But after seven or eight sheets, most of the aura in Xue Ning's body was consumed. At this time, Xue Ning could only stop and recover his spiritual power. Fortunately, Xue Ning majored in the Black Bamboo Dao Sutra, and the four-armed cyclone condensed by the sea of qi absorbed the spiritual energy eight times that of the ordinary cultivators of the fourth layer of qi cultivation. After only resting for half an hour, Xue Ning felt that the aura in his body had recovered.

And because of the excessive consumption of aura in Xue Ning's body before, after resuming meditation and recovering, Xue Ning found that the aura in his body was much more condensed than before.

Discovering this, Xue Ning's eyes immediately lit up.

Cultivators can draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, and combine the essence and blood qi in the body to produce Taoist true qi in the muscles and veins in the body. In the process of forming the true qi of Taoism, because the aura of heaven and earth in the outside world is inherently impure, there will be some impurities in the aura of the outside world to a greater or lesser extent. And the Taoist true qi cultivated with such aura must also be impure.

Originally, the very important work of purifying the Taoist true qi in the body while sleeping on the path of cultivation of cultivators was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the efficiency was extremely low. In the previous life, because Xue Ning had a mysterious black ball, he deciphered many peerless exercises from ancient books, and with so many peerless exercises, Xue Ning's cultivation could be said to have soared all the way. In the previous life, Xue Ning had painted spells. But that was only because of interest, but I didn't find that there was such a benefit in making talismans.

"It seems that you can't just practice in the future, if you have time, you need to make a lot of talismans, so that you can not only store some talismans for emergencies, but also be able to continuously refine your own Taoist true qi.

The defenders of Linjiang County under the mountain are building siege equipment in a closed golden gong, and Xue Ning and the others on the mountain are not idle.
