Before Xu Zhuang even raised his expectations, he then thought about it. No matter how well the elixir was preserved, how much of its medicinal properties could it retain after so many years?
Xu Zhuang took two steps forward, flicked his sleeves, and opened the furnace cover. Sure enough, a furnace of medicine dregs was revealed. After sniffing it, there was not even a trace of smell left. Xu Zhuang shook his head and checked the pill racks on both sides again. , and it really paid off.
The medicinal residues in the bottles and jars are no different from those in the jade furnace; the jade pills poured out from the gourds are somewhat similar to the golden elixirs refined by Taisu Zong. They should be gold and stone elixirs. But although the elixir pills are still as round as pearls, the elixir energy has long since drained away; those few magic weapons are also inferior, even if they were taken as rewards to disciples, they were despised.
Xu Zhuang briefly browsed through the remaining scriptures and Taoist books. Although the records were not very profound, there were several ancient alchemy books that were very different from modern alchemy books. They might have some value, so Xu Zhuang put them away. , I didn't bother to pay attention to the others, so I walked out of the cave and continued to explore deeper.
Following the passage inward, several more cave chambers were opened, some of which were empty, some of which contained wooden figures and stone locks, which seemed to be magical tools used to test Taoism, and some of which had beds, futons, tables, chairs, Gui dishes, and of course more. Most of them are alchemy rooms.
Xu Zhuang gradually discovered that the practitioners in this cave were divided into two groups. One group seemed to be alchemy masters, and the other group had all kinds of talismans, magic, swords, weapons, etc. As for why they were identified as one group, in fact, it was Along the way, various clues seemed to point to the fact that this mansion was jointly owned by a pair of high-level monks who had become a Taoist couple, and the rest of the people were all disciples of this pair of monks.
In addition, the journey along the way has been fruitful, and Xu Zhuang was not disappointed. He gradually walked to the deepest point, and there were indeed two caves side by side. Xu Zhuang opened one of them, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This cave room is no different from other alchemy rooms outside. There is nothing except a jade alchemy furnace in the middle. However, what surprised Xu Zhuang was that there was an obvious spiritual light on this alchemy furnace. Circulation is obviously protected by restrictions.
Xu Zhuang walked into the room, took out his sleeves and flicked it on the alchemy furnace. Suddenly, the spiritual light flashed, and the restriction was broken.
This was not beyond Xu Zhuang's expectation. The restriction on the alchemy furnace was obviously set up to preserve the elixir. It did not kill the enemy. Naturally, the defensive ability could not withstand Xu Zhuang's magic power.
After breaking the restriction, Xu Zhuang was not in a hurry. He exhaled, made a pinch, lifted a little into the air, and held the magic power above the alchemy furnace. Then he opened the lid of the furnace, and two rays of light burst out from the alchemy furnace. , was held by Xu Zhuang and Xu Zhuang's magic power, and appeared, but Xu Zhuang was slightly stunned.
I saw two pills in the air, one red and one white, each exuding warmth and coldness, but they did not exclude each other and kept surrounding each other.
A slightly strange look appeared on Xu Zhuang's face. It turned out that the two pills, one red and one white, were recorded in the pill book he had obtained earlier. They were called the 'Kan Li He Dao Bao Dan', and they were actually the same pills as a sect assistant. The best elixir of Yi Shuangxiu.
In terms of value, this elixir is naturally extremely precious. In terms of efficacy, it is a treasure for monks who are good at dual cultivation.
But for Xu Zhuang, the food was tasteless, and it was a pity to abandon it. Xu Zhuang shook his head, but still took out a pill gourd, collected the Kan Li He Dao Bao Dan, and then walked out of the cave and opened it again. Another room.
As soon as the room opened, Xu Zhuang's expression suddenly changed, and he unexpectedly sensed a mysterious aura. Xu Zhuang looked into the room, and at the first glance he saw a large bronze cauldron in the middle of the cave. However, this cauldron had no restrictions. It seemed to be just It was just an ordinary decoration. Xu Zhuang took a look and saw a vermilion gourd placed among it.
Xu Zhuang picked up the gourd and after a brief inspection, he found out that this gourd seemed to be a treasure of collection, and it was actually refined with perfect restraints. Xu Zhuang cast a little magic power, and in an instant he had refined two restraints, and could barely control it. Yes, so I urged him gently.
Phew... I saw a slight breeze blowing up in the room, and it disappeared in an instant.
"This..." Xu Zhuang shook his head. Such power, even though he had only refined two levels of restraints, was too small. He flipped it over, put away the vermilion gourd, and stopped paying attention. .
There is not much leftover stuff in other parts of this room. Next to it is a shelf with a few small items misplaced on it, but most of them are empty. The innermost part is an ice couch, which is completely transparent and extremely clean.
Xu Zhuang stepped in front of the couch and lightly brushed his fingertips on the couch. He suddenly felt a slight coldness, not a biting cold, but refreshing. I don’t know what kind of mysterious ice it is, which will not melt for thousands of years, but also has the effect of purifying the heart?
But that's not enough to surprise Xu Zhuang. Where did the Taoist aura he felt when he opened the cave door come from?
Xu Zhuang thought for a moment, then suddenly jumped up and landed on the ice collapse, with a slight surprise in his eyes.
"What kind of cultivation can lead to the charm of Taoism still remaining in the sky thousands of years later?"
"Is it the reason for being in the cave, or is it the special effect of this mysterious ice collapse?"
Invisible lines intertwined in the air before his eyes, rehearsing mysterious changes. In Xu Zhuang's eyes, this cave seemed to have gone back in time and space, returning to an unknown time thousands of years ago, when a highly skilled monk was sitting here. On top of the ice collapse, practice Taoism.
"It turns out it's a change in fire magic." Xu Zhuang's heart suddenly moved. He raised his hand and pointed, and a trace of magic power turned into flying smoke and flew out from his fingertips. Then he opened his mouth and spat out, and the magic power turned into a bright flame and flew into the air. , followed the Taoist practice and changed.
A flame turned into a bird, then into a fire crow, then into a fire phoenix, dancing in the air, suddenly, and turned into various soldiers...
After Xu Zhuang refined the "Tai Su Zhen Sha Jing", his understanding of the way to change magic power was truly reflected at this moment, and his random evolution gradually broke away from the changes in Taoism in the air.
Suddenly, Xu Zhuang's heart moved, and the flames in the air suddenly lengthened, twisted, and changed, finally turning into a fire dragon with distinct scales and claws.
A 'Five-clawed Flame Dragon' was created like this. Unfortunately, this 'Five-clawed Flame Dragon' only has its shape, but does not have boundless power and firepower.
Xu Zhuang shook his head slightly and was about to dissipate his form when he suddenly thought of something. He pinched a spell in his hand and spit out a stream of magic power, which turned into light smoke and blew on the fire dragon. The fire dragon's eyes suddenly burned and he swam away. , come alive.
"It's really good!" Xu Zhuang was overjoyed. It turned out that he had a flash of inspiration and used the method of Taisu's false form to shape the fire dragon and imbue it with real power.
The Taisu False Form Technique is a very basic Taoist technique in the Taisu Sect, but it is also a Taoist technique that almost all practitioners of the "Taisu True Form Sutra" practice, including the Golden elixir monks and Yuan Master Yingzun will not abandon it like a shoe, but will pay more and more attention to this technique as his practice progresses.
The technique called "false form" can shape the body and give it essence. When combined with the "Tai Su Zhen Sha Jing", it can be used in a variety of ways. It is said that if you practice to an extremely deep level, you can even refine the false into the real.
During his practice in Liushuidongtian, Xu Zhuang has already focused on practicing this Taoist technique and has reached the fifth level. Now that he uses this technique, he can completely spend his mana to shape it, and use his elixir power as a substance to create a body that is similar to I am an indistinguishable clone.
As long as the magic power and elixir power given by Xu Zhuang are enough, he can use all his methods to become an incarnation outside his body.
But a fake is a fake after all, and the clone created by this method can only move within the scope of his control, and is not a true incarnation outside the body.
Xu Zhuang uses this method to shape the fire dragon. As long as he adds magic pill power, he can naturally increase the size and power of the fire dragon.
But even so, it is still not worthy of Xu Zhuang's joy. It lacks boundless firepower. Rather than calling it a fire dragon, it is better to be called a 'mana dragon'. It only has power based on the quality of Xu Zhuang's mana.
"If I want to develop magical powers like a five-clawed flame dragon, how should I do it?"
