Volume 1 The Storm Chapter 2 Preparation
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, Xu Yao arrived at a low-lying place at the junction of the front valley and the back valley, there is a poisonous crocodile here that can be regarded as a tyrant in the outer valley, not to mention the fate, even if it is killed, it is worthless, plus the poisonous swamp where it lives is full of poison, so few disciples of the sect in the past pay attention to it.
Xu Yao stood around the swamp and looked around, making sure that there was no one around, then took out a jar of golden powder from his arms and sprinkled it on the ground, stared at it for a long time, and then patted the ground under his feet three times in a row, and immediately an entrance that only allowed one person was revealed, Xu Yao calmly entered, feeling the damp smell of mixed soil that he had been familiar with for three years, Xu Yao was inexplicably relieved.
This secret land was not created by him, but left by a miscellaneous disciple in the past, Xu Yao had joined forces with him many times before, and he was born and died together, but he didn't expect that in the end, because of a broken "Rune Minutes", the other party chose to start without hesitation, although Xu Yao laughed to the end, but the price was also heavy, Xu Yao lay on the bed for a month before slowly recovering, and his cultivation was delayed a lot, resulting in the realm of the second layer of Qi cultivation now.
Thinking of this, Xu Yao subconsciously touched the deep scar on his back, and was in a trance, his eyes gradually became firm, in the past three years, how many have he experienced to come to this point, if he fails, he will not be willing to do so, thinking of this, Xu Yao began to take out from between the lattice and the box in the secret room before he had placed seven bottles of demon beast essence blood here, a pile of blank rune paper, and a spirit rune pen in good condition, all piled on a stone table.
Xu Yao just wants to refine some talismans for himself, refining talismans as one of the six arts of cultivation, has been circulating in the world of cultivating immortals for countless years, Xu Yao only occasionally got a copy of the "Rune Minutes" plus a good understanding has a slight gain, but it is only just getting started, and can only refine some of the lowest-level talismans, but even so, it undoubtedly makes Xu Yao have a way to make money from now on without having to sacrifice his life and death to fight with demon beasts, and it also greatly enriches Xu Yao's fighting methods.
Xu Yao can only refine the most basic fire talismans, wind talismans, and water arrow talismans, which only have a good effect on the monks and uncivilized demon beasts in the first three layers of qi cultivation, but it is enough for Xu Yao. Although the middle-grade talisman is more powerful, it has a certain threat to the monks in the middle stage of qi training, but not to mention Xu Yao's second layer of qi training, the talisman materials are also unaffordable for Xu Yao now.
Xu Yao took a deep breath, picked up the talisman pen on the side, and a stream of true qi was poured into the talisman paper, there are four steps in refining the talisman, containing the pen, attaching ink, enlightening the spirit, and banning. Xu Yao was unable to cultivate due to an injury for a period of time, so he had to run the true qi, pondering the method of running the true qi, coming and going, and the realm of cultivation did not go up, but it made the control of the true qi that had been tempered a lot stronger.
In front of him, Xu Yao had completed the first three steps, unusually smooth, and had reached the last step of the ban, only to see Xu Yao's face full of seriousness, ten fingers flying up and down, and he was sealing the extremely unstable spiritual power on the half-formed wind talisman, but the rune paper that had been slowly stable suddenly had a flash of inspiration, Xu Yao's face changed and his hands immediately sealed, and a spiritual light immediately rose on the stone table to wrap the wind talisman that Kankan was about to complete, and after the rune paper in the ban shook for a while, it turned into invisible debris and disappeared into the air at a very fast speed.
The corners of Xu Yao's mouth twitched, although these three magic talismans have been refined for half a year, but the success rate is still less than fifty percent, with Xu Yao's current true qi, he can only refine three times a day, although he doesn't know how much better than half of the talisman at the beginning.
But in the early stage, Xu Yao also posted a lot of books into it, and the success rate of refining talismans is about thirty percent to be able to say that it is even good, and forty percent can be said to be a small profit, fortunately, Xu Yao himself is often hunting demons, and some demon beast essence blood can be used as the lowest level of spiritual ink after careful processing, and some animal skins can also be used as rune paper, so a considerable part of the material can be self-sufficient, Xu Yao can barely grit his teeth and persevere, of course, the most rare thing is the inheritance of the talisman, but this is not in Xu Yao's consideration for the time being.
Seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, and half of the half-month trial time has passed, Xu Yao stood refreshed next to a stream in the back valley, which is one of the places where the spirit deer often haunts, Xu Yao used five days of refining talismans, and after consuming all the materials, he got four wind talismans, three fire talismans, and two water arrow talismans.
Without any further delay, immediately after a little repair, the Black Wolf Gorge spent two days hunting the Wind Splitting Wolf and obtained ten pairs of wolf teeth, the whole process was unusually smooth, and he did not meet other disciples, Xu Yao guessed that most of the remaining disciples should have completed the task of hunting the Spirit Deer and the Wind Splitting Wolf, and it was also one of Xu Yao's own plans to stagger the time of practicing the talisman with other disciples.
Thinking of this, Xu Yao smiled slightly, took out a jade bottle from his arms, sprinkled it on a piece of grass in front of him, and then poured a little on himself, the spirit deer is not aggressive, but it is often amazing, and it is difficult for disciples in the early stage of general qi training to catch up, and they have a keen sense of smell, and they can often find the enemy in advance, but only rosemary, this bottle of rosemary is specially prepared by Xu Yao for the spirit deer, Xu Yao is ready to be on the side, to wait for work, and when the spirit deer comes over and loses its vigilance, it will be captured.
Xu Yao waited patiently behind a rock, and about an hour later, an adult spirit deer was attracted over, this spirit deer first looked around with a puzzled gaze, as if he also knew that rosemary appeared in this area a little unusual, but after hesitating for a while, he still did not resist the instinct of the demon beast, and began to bow his head and eat the grass.
Xu Yao held his breath, suppressed a burst of anxiety in his heart, and after the spirit deer ate it for a while, he slapped a wind talisman on his body, and the whole person suddenly ejected from behind the rock.
In the frightened hiss of the spirit deer, a cold light has crossed its head, watching the spirit deer in front of him fall to the ground, Xu Yao exhaled a little relaxed, and began to harvest, because there is no extra space to carry, Xu Yao can only give up the materials that he usually collects, and only take a small piece of deer antler from the spirit deer.
Xu Yao still has a slight regret about this, of course, the storage magic weapon is something that Xu Yao can't think of now, and he can only give up, Xu Yao just finished harvesting, and suddenly saw two figures faintly walking on the opposite side, Xu Yao didn't want to have too much contact with the rest of the people, and immediately disappeared quickly by the stream.
"Hey, I didn't expect there to be disciples staying here, it's been seven or eight days, and I haven't even hunted enough spirit deer, it's really waste, and it's quite fast." A white-robed young man walked to the stream with a surprised face, and looked at the deer on the other bank, "I also used rosemary, I said Senior Brother Xu, where is the place you mentioned, we have been here for two days, not to mention the deer king, not even a single hair of the deer king has been found." ”
The white-faced young man who was walking next to him looked accustomed to his companion's complaints, and his face was not in a hurry, "It's around here, at that time, the three of us were all cultivators of the second layer of Qi cultivation, and picking that Zhuyue Spirit Grass alarmed the Deer King, and I was the only one of the three who escaped."
Judging by the speed at which the deer king came at that time, its usual range of activities was probably around this area, and now that I have advanced to the middle stage of qi training, the deer king's Xuanmu demon vine is not to be feared, plus the virtuous brother Jin Longsuo, it must be called to have no return, for the brother only to take the king antler, and the Zhu Yue spirit grass associated with the deer king will be given to the junior brother."
The white-robed young man was also full of excitement when he heard this, "Okay, well, with Zhu Yue Spirit Grass, I can also break through the fourth layer of Qi training, and when the time comes, I must abolish Bai Yijia, a horseman who has no one in his eyes", "Okay, okay, let's look for the deer king first", the white-robed young man nodded again and again, but he didn't notice that the sarcastic look on the face of the white-faced young man next to him flashed away.
Of course, Xu Yao didn't know anything about what was happening by the stream, and he didn't want to deal with the rest of the disciples purely out of caution all along, Xu Yao looked at the wind talisman in his hand and frowned, just at this moment, the aura of the kung fu wind talisman dimmed a lot.
Although the low-level talisman does not contain much true qi, but after using this spirit rune, the spiritual light began to dim, and it was also due to the inferiority of the refining materials, Xu Yao shook his head, took the talisman back into his arms, and decided that the next action should be to cut through the mess quickly, and not spend too much time and energy on the spirit deer.
The first two tasks of the trial are not difficult, but it is very tricky for most of the outer door trial disciples to obtain the snake gall of the iron snake, the iron wire snake is a civilized demon beast, and the adult iron snake is comparable to a mid-stage Qi cultivation monk, and it already has a certain amount of wisdom, and what is more troublesome is that it still lives in groups, which is also strange among snake demon beasts.
Therefore, in terms of the realm of most disciples who generally practice the third layer of qi, it is still very difficult to complete the trial, even if the disciples who have reached the fourth level of qi cultivation among the trial disciples, it will take a lot of means to get the snake gall of the iron wire snake.
This is also the reason why most of the people on the Flying Boat chose to join forces temporarily, after all, for a group demon beast like the Iron Snake, joining forces is also a good choice, Xu Yao of course has his own methods, but it takes a certain amount of time.
So Xu Yao didn't plan to waste too much time here, "It seems that you can't save it", Xu Yao sighed softly, and accelerated to disappear into the reckless forest......
