Beyond the dense forest, there is a vast wilderness covered with hundreds of miles of snow, and a huge palace stands here.
At this moment, there were crowds of people outside the palace. It was unclear how many people there were and who they were. They looked up at the thirteen-headed stone sculpture standing in front of the palace.
The stone carvings contained endless Taoist charms. They sat cross-legged here, picking up the Taoist charms and practicing spells.
The walking alchemist raised his head and looked above his head.
The palace was filled with smoke, there were no sun, moon or stars, only cascading thunderclouds. In the thunder clouds, thunder light emerged, and thunder dragons rolled in the clouds and manifested themselves.
This palace seems to be independent of the world. Stepping into it is like being isolated by heaven and earth, and it is difficult to feel anything outside.
"Look, that stone statue doesn't look like the one we met before?"
Xu Zhong pointed to a stone sculpture fluttering in the wind, and several others looked in the direction pointed by his finger.
They actually saw a stone sculpture.
This stone sculpture has an unknown Taoist charm, connecting the floating clouds above and the nine secluded places below. Between the heaven and the earth, its breath exists forever, as if it has been integrated into this world.
"It doesn't seem like it." Yunyong squinted his eyes and shook his head: "There is no reason that it can be faster than us. Even if it is faster than us, it will not come to this palace and turn into a stone sculpture to ambush us. .”
All of them are Qi Practitioners of the First Realm, and they are not worthy of being ambushed by a Qi Practitioner of the Chengwu Realm.
Several people carefully avoided these Qi refiners who were picking up Tao Yun to practice magic.
Although they are in seclusion, each one has magic protection.
There are flying swords of sword cultivators surrounding him, flying in the sky, the sword energy roars into the wind, and collides with the starlight, but it is not released. If someone who is not discerning touches him, this sword energy will directly slash at the enemy.
There is also a scroll hanging behind the Qi Refiner, which contains a vast ocean, with countless dragons dancing in the sky. Looking from a distance, one is shocked by an extremely powerful aura. There is really a big river hidden in the scroll. There are really countless dragons hidden there.
There is also a Qi Refiner with a large gourd suspended above his head and a futon made of Kui cowhide sitting at his feet.
They were comprehending the Taoist charm contained in these stone carvings, while Xu Zhong and others looked at the big cauldron in front of the palace. The green and purple air in the cauldron spurted out, and streams of innate air flowed densely. There are also pills that have become spiritual, transforming into white, fat, palm-sized children swimming in the innate energy.
"How about going and taking a look?" Yunyong looked at the excited Xu Zhong beside him and asked immediately.
Xu Zhong nodded wildly and then took the lead to move forward.
…
Every Qi practitioner has different methods to protect his or her own safety.
They were the first to stop and watch in front of the stone sculpture.
The stone carving of Qingzi was indeed not far different from the one they had seen. The Taoist charm flowing through it came from its eyes.
The eyes are on the left and right, on both sides of the waist.
One is pure and the other is turbid, one is good and the other is evil, but it itself symbolizes a way of conflict and integration.
The Taoist charm pervades this place, which is very magical.
Xu Zhong and the others did not have the kind of power that required conflict, so they just took a look at it and left after confirming that the stone sculpture was a dead object.
But Xu Zhong was worried. After all, he had seen the statue come back to life.
"These stone sculptures are not powerful individually. Even if you want to use Xiyi's methods, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do."
Although what they exude is also Taoist rhyme, the emphasis is on a rhyme character rather than a Taoist character.
They cannot preach, and naturally there is no way to turn the Qigong practitioners who understand them into their followers.
On top of the stone carvings, there are four evil figures, four elephants, yellow dragon, unicorn, true phoenix and true phoenix.
"How did it get in?" Yunyong looked at Xianxi with curiosity.
Among these thirteen statues, the one with the most crotch-stretching figure is Lingxing. Its level of bloodline is not comparable to that of the other twelve statues.
It's like it was forced on.
"Who knows? Maybe it's a good flatterer!" Tang Yuan said casually.
They kept going up.
Xu Zhong looked back at the stone sculpture for no apparent reason.
Above the 缼輑 stone sculpture is the chaos stone sculpture.
The statue of Chaos is lifelike, almost as if it were drawn to scale.
Qiongqi is not much different from the others.
When he arrived in front of the Taotie stone sculpture, Tang Yuan could not move.
The aura emerging from the Taoist body faintly evoked a certain Taoist charm in his body, which made him yearn for it. Then he looked at Xu Zhong and others: "I am meditating on the Taoist Taoist charm here. Remember to come before you leave." Look for me here.”
Xu Zhong and Yunyong nodded in agreement and left the place immediately.
Before leaving, Xu Zhong looked back again. This time he seemed to see the Taotie stone sculpture seem to move. It seemed to open its eyes and glance at himself.
He had always felt this way before, but it was only now that it seemed to be confirmed.
Yunyong realized that something was not right with him, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Zhong looked hesitant: "The Taotie statue seemed to have moved just now."
Yunyong frowned and remained silent. He patted Xu Zhong on the shoulder and motioned for him to continue moving forward.
They continued to walk forward, and after taking a few steps, a white tiger suddenly appeared in front of the four of them.
The white tiger was shining with an extremely bright light, and a Gengjin aura lingered here. Most of the sword cultivators were surrounding this white tiger, comprehending the Tao charm on it.
Xu Zhong felt for a moment that the Tao charm of this white tiger was far different from the white tiger divine egg in Tianyong City.
"My Xuan Guangxiao Qi needs Geng Metal Qi as its backbone." Fangyuan looked at Xu Zhong and others: "I want to comprehend the White Tiger Tao Yun here and refine the Geng Gold Qi, so I won't go on with you. .”
Several people nodded.
Xu Zhong continued to move forward.
It seemed as if an eye opened behind him, and its gaze fell on him, watching him.
Xu Zhong's scalp was numb and he looked at Yunyong.
But Yunyong just shook his head. He didn't feel the sense of prying eyes: "Maybe you feel wrong."
Xu Zhong could only hope that he felt wrong. He didn't want to repeat the tragic situation of guarding Yiyulou again.
They continued walking upward.
The farther you go, the more you can feel the innate energy contained in the surroundings.
This innate energy flows densely, constantly flowing between the green dragon and the yellow dragon.
They did not stop here. After all, the real innate energy was in the big cauldron and the palaces behind the big cauldron.
They walked up between Huanglong and Qinglong, and within a few steps they came to the open space where the big cauldron was.
In addition to a cauldron, there is also an altar.
Xu Zhong suddenly felt the cauldron in his storage bag tremble slightly. He suppressed the tremor with his hand, and then looked at the big cauldron in front of him with curiosity.
The cauldron seems to have the power to dominate the world. Its light is restrained. If you look closely, you will find a lingering dao halo hidden on the surface of the cauldron, manifesting bursts of purple mist. Just breathing makes people feel... There is a feeling of ecstasy, not to mention the need to directly absorb this innate energy.
Xu Zhong sat down cross-legged like other qigong masters around the cauldron, with a purple jade gourd above his head to protect his figure, and the surface of his body was a water-quality light shield flowing from the Xuanyuan True Water Shield.
He operated the technique, and in an instant, the innate energy flowed all over his body like water, and there was a shimmering light all over his body, and the whole five stars shone even more brilliantly. Angrily, it became more and more substantial, and the face that was originally unclear seemed to turn into his face bit by bit.
The acupuncture points in his body light up quickly, and they jump out into small Xu Zhongs one after another, frantically transporting the innate energy.
"How can I control the entire Wu Yao?" Xu Zhong thought in his heart.
With his five rays fully opened and his guarding one completed, he naturally needs to condense the golden elixir and refine the true fire of samadhi.
And only by refining the golden elixir can the true fire of samadhi be refined.
Xu Zhong looked inside his body. In his body, the orifices were like stars, densely packed like a lush tree crown, and the meridians in his body were like pillars supporting the sky. The light of the stars transformed by magic power flowed downwards along the pillars supporting the sky. Transformation is carried out in the Five Stars.
Finally, it merges into mana and gathers in the Dantian. The Dantian is surging, and the acquired Qi is constantly changing in the Dantian.
"It is better to use Dantian as the foundation and the soil for the golden elixir." Xu Zhong sketched the virtual shape of a big tree in his mind.
The roots of this big tree have to take root in the Dantian. Wuyao is the five thickest branches of the big tree, and the meridians are the countless branches on the branches, connecting countless leaves that are born from the void of the acupoints.
With the divergence of his thinking and visualization, this system seems to be improving bit by bit, and Xu Zhong also has ideas that he wants to put into reality.
However, he suddenly woke up the next moment.
The various sacred pillars in the mud ball were vibrating together, emitting rays of spiritual light to protect Xu Zhong's mirror core.
The Heavenly Dao Demon sealed by the Divine Pillar shook his head and sighed when he saw this.
Just now, Xu Zhong was aroused by a special force, which made Tian Dao Demon Xiang think it was a good opportunity.
After Xu Zhong woke up, his heart was full of fear, and his green shirt was soaked with cold sweat.
"Is the World Tree influencing me? Or is Lei Ancestor influencing me?" Xu Zhong thought in his mind. Before he looked inwards, he had no such understanding, or even had such thoughts.
Just after thinking about condensing the golden elixir, such an idea was born unconsciously.
“Why was it that I was not affected when I was practicing before, but I am affected now?”
Xu Zhong felt the changes in his body.
Qi is connected to the entire physical body, and there seems to be no problem.
Xu Zhong, on the other hand, moved the magic power in his body over and over again, moving around the sky, once, twice, ten times, twenty times.
Finally, on the thirty-sixth time, he found a clue.
There are rune imprints hidden in Huoyao's secret treasure, but they don't know when they were planted.
He carefully felt the rune brand and touched it lightly, and in an instant, a steady stream of innate energy flowed out of it.
The next moment, there is a fragrant fragrance in the body, spreading from the inside out, and a dense stream of light flows from the acupoints through the pores of the whole body to the outside.
At this moment, Xu Zhong felt that he had abandoned his physical body. It was light and weightless, which gave him a special feeling of returning to nature.
And through this rune imprint, he could feel that there seemed to be a consciousness in this palace, a consciousness of Lei Zu.
At this moment, Lei Zu's consciousness seemed to be awakened by him.
