Chapter 55: The Jade Hook

In the following days, Xu Dao practiced while training Nanke Grasshopper.

Among them, the half-fingered jade hook obtained from the sarcophagus is gray on the surface, pale in color, like bone and jade, which is not surprising.

Xu Dao cautiously injected true qi into it, but found that there was no change in this object, except for the two words engraved on the surface, there was no other thing hidden inside.

This made him think that this thing was just a mortal thing, at most it had a symbolic effect as stated in the suicide note, and it could prove the identity of the bearer.

But once when meditating and refining qi, this thing revealed a miracle.

Xu Dao sat down cross-legged as usual, he had just visualized the magic runes in his mind, hooked up the aura, his mind was extremely clean, and the distracting thoughts disappeared in an instant, faster than before.

If you are an ordinary Taoist, you may think that you are just in a good state, but Xu Dao has practiced several spells of purifying the mind and calming qi, and is extremely sensitive to changes in mood and sanity.

After practicing for a while, confirming that it was not an illusion, Xu Dao immediately stopped practicing, he groped his whole body, and took out the jade hook from his sleeve.

At this time, the hook is no longer a gray fluttering appearance, its whole body exudes a silvery-white light, milk-like, extremely warm.

The silver light flickered slowly, but miraculously, Xu Dao did not notice that there were aura fluctuations on this object.

He held the jade hook in his hand, and suddenly felt that the qi on his body was also depressed, and the fluctuations of his true qi weakened, as if he had also turned into a stone.

But the true qi in Xu Dao's body was clearly still circulating, and the vast soup continued to wash his soul and body.

"This is!" Xu Dao was stunned in his heart, "Can it cover the qi and conceal the effect?"

He looked down at the jade hook in his hand and said secretly, "Isn't it a magic weapon?"

However, Xu Daomo rubbed the jade hook in his hand and injected true qi again, and still found that the jade hook was not touched, there was no prohibition inside, and there were no runes, it was more like a mortal thing.

This did not disappoint him, but rather surprised him.

This thing can have the effect of suppressing the mind and covering the qi without refining, and most of it is a spiritual object that is obscure, and it belongs to a rare spiritual material.

Whether it's used to draw talismans or refine magic weapons, it's very useful!

It's just that Xu Dao thought about it repeatedly, racking his brains to recall the Taoist books he had read, but he still couldn't remember what the jade hook was.

"That's it. He thought to himself, since the jade hook had fallen into his hands and became his thing, it would be time to identify it later.

The first thing to do is to figure out how to use it.

Xu Dao was interested, he repeatedly tried and found that although the jade hook could not be stimulated with true qi, when the concentration of spiritual energy around the jade hook reached a certain level, the effect of this thing suppressing the mind and covering the qi machine would be stimulated, and even with Xu Dao holding it, the mind and qi would not move like a stone.

This surprised Xu Dao, he was able to draw out the aura in the talisman money, cover the jade hook, and make it work.

Or simply draw runes and formations on the surface of the jade hook, so that it can accumulate the true qi he has input around it, and continue to moisturize the jade hook like an aura.

The latter method is already a way to refine magic weapons, just like before Xu Dao drew the formation inside and outside the sword box, and used it to restrain the evil qi, and he could shoot flying swords to kill demons.

It's just that magic weapons are rare, and refining techniques are also rare, and Xu Dao has not really refined a genuine magic weapon.

But he not only mastered a formation, but also repaired the spirit gathering formation, and before entering the Baimao Wind Cave, he happened to have spent more than ten days in the Fu Courtyard, both practice and theory, so he should be able to give it a try.

Thinking of it, Xu Dao held the jade hook, calmed down the joy in his heart, he thought about it carefully, and decided to follow the way of drawing talismans, using the jade hook as rune paper and drawing it into a talisman card.

The jade hook is magical, but it is not Xu Dao's ancestral thing, and he can be bold enough to paint paintings.

Immediately, Xu Dao pressed his mind and tried it directly in the cave.

A few days after that.

In addition to Xu Dao's practice, in addition to continuing to raise Nanke grasshoppers, he pondered the jade hook in the cave and tried his best to turn it into his own use.

Fortunately, although he has not learned to refine weapons, the principles of the talisman, array, and instrument have something in common. After thousands of attempts, Xu Dao successfully drew several combinations of runes on the jade hook, so that after he entered his true qi, the miraculous effect of the jade hook could be stimulated, helping him stabilize his mind and shield his qi.

With this jade hook, when going down the mountain in the future, whether it is taking the initiative to ambush others or hiding traces to escape, Xu Dao will have a much greater possibility of success than ordinary Taoists.

After combing carefully, Xu Dao suddenly found that he already had a sword box with evil qi in the hole cards, a jade hook in terms of hidden traces, and a Nanke mayfly in the reconnaissance of the enemy, and even in terms of spells, he had learned all kinds of spells, including killing techniques, magic techniques, and talisman techniques.

He is no longer a new Taoist, but a seasoned Taoist who has all the means and is difficult to be killed.

If he encounters a strong opponent again, especially a demon beast like a bird, even if Xu Dao can't parry it for a while, he can kill the other party by maneuvering and other methods.

After all, ordinary demon beasts are not as rich in means as Taoists, and they can advance, retreat, and fight.

For a while, Xu Dao was happy in his heart.

In addition, the act of refining the jade hook of breath was different from his previous drawing rune array.

There is no specific reference to Xu Dao's technique, it is purely made by himself by combining runes, which can be regarded as a reason, rather than a rigid copy.

This made him gain a lot on the talisman.

was punished and imprisoned once, which made Xu Dao make up for his shortcomings and grow a lot. If you say it, I'm afraid that the people in the audience won't believe it.

......

After that, Xu Dao's life trajectory has not changed much.

Perhaps because the old ant nest was destroyed by him, the situation in the white-haired wind cave has been improved, although the yin wind still blows non-stop, but it is rare to have more than one day in a row.

As a result, Xu Dao was relieved of his only job, and except for the occasional return to the surface, he mostly stayed in the cracks and meditated.

This is a true retreat, not a prison.

If he has free time, Xu Dao will continue to raise Gu insects and explore the Quartet with the ant colonies that are differentiated from the Nanke mayflies.

But apart from finding a lot of yin qi and evil qi and yin poison in the cave, he did not gain any other benefits.

Fortunately, the poisonous things also have an effect, Xu Dao can extract the poison according to the cultivation method of the "Five Poisons Demon Killing Technique", and use it to increase the power of the spell, or raise a batch of poisonous ants for later use.

The only thing that really disappointed Xu Dao was.

Before entering the Baimao Wind Cave, he heard that there might be evil qi in the cave, so he was so cautious that even the Yin God did not dare to run around.

But when he refined the Yin Gu and was able to control the Gu worms to explore, he didn't find the so-called evil qi, not even the rumored white bones.

The huge cave is really like the white earth, and it is extremely clean.

Time passes.

Unconsciously, Xu Dao stayed in the white-haired wind cave for nearly two years.

He would occasionally think of the hints of the Ink-veined Daoist before entering the cave, which made him pack up the east on his body in advance when he met with the Dao Tong every three months in the future, so as to prepare for leaving the customs.

But seeing that there has been no news and news for a long time, Xu Dao is not in a hurry, and even thinks that it is a very good life to sit in prison for three years honestly.
