Chapter 65, Genmu
Just when Li Dong strengthened his Dao heart because of his momentary feelings, the voice of the flame puppet came.
"Pass the first level of month-level difficulty, this strange fire is your reward for passing the first level, please collect it."
The flame puppet opened its mouth and spit out an azure fire, which was still Azure Flame, but there was a golden fire pattern in the center of the Azure Flame, which was a high-grade Azure Flame of the Xuan Rank.
The Azure Flame of the upper grade of the Xuan Rank can not only shorten the alchemy time, but also increase the rate of becoming a pill, and it is impossible to buy such a precious exotic fire in the Fang Market.
Li Dong took out another hidden fire gourd and collected the Xuan-rank high-grade Azure Flame.
"The first level has been passed, will the trial disciples immediately teleport to the second level?"
The flame puppet repeated such a passage again, and Li Dong had some doubts in his heart, why is this puppet's autonomous consciousness similar to that of intelligent robots on the earth? This can't be regarded as turning on the spirit at all, it is the same as the robot that has been programmed in advance, is the puppet similar to the principle of artificial intelligence on the earth? Or is it the road of ten thousand laws, and all the different paths lead to the same end?
"The disciple wants to challenge the first level of difficulty"
The Flame Golem unleashed thirty-six orbs of fire again.
"Within ten breaths, defeat thirty-six fire beads, and you can pass the first level."
This time, Li Dong could see with the naked eye that the fire beads this time were a little different from the previous two times, and the color of the flames sealed in the fire beads changed from purple red to black.
There is no doubt that this time it was definitely more difficult than the previous two.
Li Dong didn't dare to slack off, the "Sparks in the Sky" spell would definitely not work, and his most powerful spell at the moment was only the top-level spell "Burning Sky Fire Lotus" that condensed the magic runes.
A rune like a fiery red lotus flower appeared in the air, and Li Dong snorted softly,
"Boom!"
The fire lotus rune suddenly exploded in mid-air, instantly dividing into thirty-six parts, and the thirty-six fire lotus roses in the wind, turning into thirty-six huge lotus flowers the size of a basin in an instant, with red lotus petals and purple lotus stamens, which look extremely bewitching and beautiful.
The huge lotus flower met the fire beads in the air, and the petals closed one by one, turning into a huge mouth, swallowing the fire beads into the flower buds.
The space was twisted and vibrating, and the black flames in the fire lotus buds were rushing left and right, desperately trying to break through the fire lotus's blockade.
Li Dong frantically continued to output mana, maintaining the power of the fire lotus, and the black flame struggled to resist for about six breaths, and finally extinguished weakly.
Li Dong was still quite satisfied with the power of the "Burning Sky Fire Lotus", which was worthy of being a top-level spell that had condensed the runes of the magic type, at least several times more powerful than the "Sparks in the Sky".
"Pass the first level of day-level difficulty, this strange fire is your reward for passing the first level, please collect it."
The flame puppet opened its mouth and spit out a purple-black fire, and the void in front of Li Dong was actually distorted, as if the space was about to collapse, and it was actually a pure void flame in the middle of the ground level.
The Pure Void Flame was not suitable for alchemy refiners, because its fire nature was too domineering and violent, but it was an excellent spiritual material for Dao Guo Zhenjun to cultivate fire supernatural powers.
Li Dong took out a hidden fire gourd again and collected the Pure Void Flame.
"The first level has been passed, will the trial disciples immediately teleport to the second level?"
"Yes, the disciple is going to the second level"
The teleportation array that the flame puppet said was in the depths of the main hall, and Li Dong followed the figure of the flame puppet all the way, walked for a quarter of an hour, and came to the teleportation array.
A hexagonal stone platform is full of finger-wide stone groove lines, and in these finger-wide stone grooves flow a bright red blood-like liquid, such as a blood-like liquid from the center of the stone platform to the east, west, north, south, and finally from the south line into the center, as if the human body's blood circulation, forming a strange circulation pattern.
Each of the six corners of the stone platform has a square jade with a large head, and each piece of jade has a trace of complex and difficult formation around it, and there is a fist-sized hole in the middle of the stone platform, but I don't know what it is placed.
This is the ancient teleportation array, and its arrangement method is very different from today's teleportation array, however, what are the specific differences, after all, Li Dong's formation attainments are still shallow, and he can't see anything for the time being.
When Li Dong stood on the stone platform, the flame puppet opened its mouth and spat out a fist-sized square sigil, which fell into the depression in the center of the stone platform, just close to the seam.
Obviously, this square sigil was the key to activating the teleportation array.
Immediately, the liquid in the finger-wide stone trough seemed to be ignited, and a blood-red light lit up one after another along the lines from the center, and a moment later, the jade in the six corners was also lit up, shining like a star.
Li Dong only felt that the heaven and the earth were hanging upside down, the space was distorted, and after a period of dizziness, the scenery in front of him changed, and Li Dong appeared in a courtyard surrounded by dead vines.
Is this the second level?
Li Dong looked at the desolate and lonely courtyard, looked around for a while, and finally saw a stone tablet under a withered old locust tree in the courtyard.
When I came to the stele, I saw that the stele read: "The second level of the trial, this level mainly tests the use of the disciple's wood spells, finds the wooden puppet guarding the level, and can get rewards after passing the challenge." ”
This fart yard is as far as the eye can see, the yard is empty, except for an old locust tree in front of me, a stone tablet, there is nothing, where can I see a wooden puppet? Could it be that too much time has passed, and the wooden puppet has run out of energy and disappeared into the long river of history, if so, then he won't be able to break through the second level?
At this time, the old locust tree above Li Dong's head suddenly trembled, and the branches stretched out one after another, as if he had just woken up and stretched.
Immediately, all the branches of the old locust tree began to shrink, and after a while, a wooden puppet with a whole body full of circles of tree patterns appeared in front of Li Dong, and the wooden puppet's face was covered with dense tree lines, like a wrinkled old man with a wind candle, which looked a little eerie.
It turned out that this old locust tree was transformed into a wooden puppet.
"Trial disciple, please choose the difficulty of the second level you want to challenge?"
Of course, Li Dong chose the lowest difficulty first, "The disciple has to challenge the star difficulty." ”
The wooden golem shook its right hand, and immediately countless vine branches stretched out from its hand, like long whips dancing in the air.
"Only wood spells are allowed to defend, and within ten breaths, if you are not hit by a rattan, you can clear the level."
Generally speaking, gold and fire spells focus on attack, while wood and earth spells focus on defense, while water spells can be soft or rigid, offensive and defensive.
Li Dong's wood-based spells have not yet condensed the spell runes, and he has only mastered a few high-level spells at present, however, because he has condensed the three-life wood shale of the upper grade of the ground level when he condensed it, there are also two kinds of condensation, one is the high-grade Aoki Ziyungang of the yellow rank, and the other is the high-grade Shadow Wind Shadow Mugang, so even if he has not condensed the spell rune, his wood-based high-level spell will not be weaker than the top-level spell of the monk who has condensed the rune.
Li Dong pinched the seal with both hands, and countless thick vines appeared out of thin air, densely entangled together to form an impermeable cage, protecting Li Dong tightly.
This is a high-level wood-based spell called "Yin Wood Cage", which can be used both to defend and trap enemies.
Li Dong hid in the airtight Yin Wood Cage, waiting for the attack of the wooden puppet, he was still relatively confident in the defense of the Yin Wood Cage, and it should not be a problem to pass the second level of the easiest star difficulty.
The wooden golem's right hand trembled, and countless vine branches burst out overwhelmingly.
In an instant, Li Dong's Yin Wood Prison Cage was pierced by this branch.
Li Dong was surprised, the attack of the wooden puppet was really powerful, even a high-level flying sword could not be as powerful as this branch, and it would take at least some time for the high-level flying sword to break through his Yin Wood cage, and the branches of the wooden puppet actually pierced through in an instant, which was really unstoppable, and nothing could be broken.
Since the defense is not good, it is made up for by numbers.
After the first Yin Wood Cage was penetrated, countless branches came straight towards Li Dong, but they were immediately blocked by Li Dong's second Yin Wood Cage.
After another breath, the second Yin Wood Prison Cage was pierced, and Li Dong had a third Yin Wood Prison Cage.
After another breath, the third Yin Wood Prison Cage was pierced, and countless branches met Li Dong's Fourth Yin Wood Prison Cage.
……
Ten breaths later, Li Dong cast a total of ten "Yin Wood Prison Cage" spells, and finally blocked the attack of the wooden puppet.
This is also the deep mana in Li Dong's body, if he is replaced by an ordinary Dao Seal late stage monk, he will definitely not be able to resist the attack of the wooden puppet, it is the Dao Seal Great Perfection, at most five or six top-level spells will be exhausted of mana, Lu Xiangti was also a Dao Seal Great Perfection cultivator to break through the second level, but unfortunately he couldn't pass it, and it was because the mana was exhausted that he failed.
Offensive spells focus on explosiveness, while defensive spells focus on staying power.
This is a truth that everyone in the cultivation world knows, but it is a realm that few monks can reach.
"Pass the second level of star difficulty, this source wood is a reward for you, please collect it."
The wooden puppet opened its mouth and spat out a piece of turquoise wood and flew straight towards Li Dong.
Li Dong was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a jade box and collected the source wood, which turned out to be the source wood of the Xuan Rank under the immortal spring wood.
Yuanmu is a general term for the supernatural spirit plants with pure wood and yuan breath in the cultivation realm, just like the different fire of the fire system, the true water of the water system, the pure gold of the gold system, and the rest of the earth system.
Whether it is source wood, different fire, true water, pure gold, or earth, it is a category of heaven and earth spiritual materials.
Among the five systems of heaven and earth spiritual materials, if you want to talk about the highest value, the most widely used is the source wood.
The source wood can not only be used for alchemy, refining, talisman making, and array, but also for monks to absorb and refine to cultivate powerful spells or supernatural powers.
However, the alien fire, the source wood, the true water, the pure gold, and the rest of the earth can only be refined and absorbed by cultivating above the Dao species.
The five realms of the Dao, the main cultivation direction of each realm is different, the Dao Qi realm is mainly to warm the Dao veins and cultivate the true yuan; The Dao Seal Realm is mainly to cultivate its own seal, increase the number of Dao patterns of the seal through condensation, and improve the quality of the seal; The Dao seed realm is mainly to cultivate one's own seed, the seed is the seed, just like the law of nature, the seed must need countless fertilizers to take root and sprout, and finally bear fruit, and the fertilizer of the Dao seed is the heaven and earth spiritual materials that can be absorbed and refined by the monks, such as different fires, source wood, true water, pure gold, and rest soil.
Although Li Dong doesn't need the source wood for the time being, he is not far from the Dao Seed Realm, and he wants to store as many five-system spiritual materials as possible, such rare items as the Source Wood are difficult to see in the Fang City, and most of the Dao monks get the Source Wood, Alien Fire, True Water, Gold Essence, and Rest Earth, most of them are absorbed and refined for the first time.
