Exorcism

Baldy had a pleasant day, and especially enjoyed dozing on Brother Xiaoqiu's shoulder: "This is the most comfortable sleep I have ever had. In the past, I stole the preserves at home and ate them while hiding on the haystack. After eating, he yawned loudly, even though he hadn't known what it felt like to be sleepy for several years.

"I must join the war. I can sit on the head of the unicorn. They will be willing..." Before returning to Zuo Liuying's room, the bald man still did not forget to talk about this matter.

The snow had stopped. Mu Xingqiu stood in the guest room, dazed for a while, sat on the bed to reflect, and lit a Hundred Nights candle beside him, with a piece of fragrant green wood leaf hanging above the flame. This was very special. After the destruction of the Ancestor Peak, precious things became cheap to the survivors.

Mu Xingqiu quickly fell into a calm state, breathing long and almost silently. He had not had a good rest for many days, so thinking could replace sleep and restore his energy.

About an hour later, as the sky was about to light up, Mu Xingqiu, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly began to tremble violently. The Daohuo Baby Pill he had taken began to take effect.

Shen Jixian said that the greater the potential, the slower it will take effect. Mu Xingqiu was already out of the state of thinking, so he was very surprised and a little disappointed. He thought that his potential would not be like this. In an instant, he had no time. After thinking about this, I prepared myself fully for the upcoming Dao Fire Tempering Pill.

Mu Xingqiu is now at the fourth level of inhalation, which shows that he has experienced Dao Fire Tempering Pill three times. To be honest, the taste is not pleasant at all. The magic power in the meridians of the body flows rapidly, and keeps pouring into the Upper Dantian Niwan Palace. After gathering in large numbers there, it quickly flows down to the Jiang Palace in the middle Dantian, where it is further strengthened, and then falls to the lower Dantian, becoming as hot as fire.

This is the elixir fire ignited by Tao fire. It uses the lower Dantian as a furnace to temper the inner alchemy that has been formed.

Inner elixir is the most stable source of mana. A Taoist priest may inspire powerful power under special circumstances, even beyond his own cultivation level, but it can only last for a short time, and the damage to the body will be very great afterwards. After the inner elixir is improved, the power can be stabilized and released without special effort, without causing any harm to the body.

This is what the Tao Fire Baby Pill does, no pill can create power, and it is the same. It only stimulates the potential of Taoist priests and refines the inner elixir, thereby turning the potential into mana that can be used at any time.

Mu Xingqiu's lower dantian was getting hotter and hotter, like holding a piece of crackling charcoal in his chest, and it was burning more and more. He had to calm down. This is one of the reasons why Taoist priests must cultivate their minds. It is okay to have a chaotic mind at ordinary times. Whenever it comes to Tao Fire Tempering Dan or more importantly, when it comes to improving Tao Fruit, calmness of mind is a very important quality. Once the mind is disturbed, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. At least the Dantian will be damaged, and at worst, the inner elixir will be unstable. This will cause frustration in practice and even regression.

Mu Xingqiu tried his best to clear everything from his mind. The burning Hundred Night Candles and Aoki Fragrant Leaves could provide a little help, making his state of mind purer and quieter.

He wasn't worried. Although the process of tempering the elixir with Dao Fire is painful, it is still much easier than condensing Qi into elixir. I have experienced that kind of life to death. After being reborn from death to life, most Taoist priests can withstand the Dao Fire Tempering Pill in the inhalation realm. Mu Xingqiu's pill condensation is more dangerous than others, which makes his endurance stronger.

The Tao Fire Tempering Pill lasted for nearly half an hour. It was already dawn outside, and several Taoist priests walked out of the room one after another. They immediately noticed something strange in Mu Xingqiu's room. They all walked softly and spoke in lower voices.

"Is he the first?" Yang Qingyin held her chin with one hand and looked at Mu Xingqiu's door, slightly surprised.

The seven Taoist priests all came out, looked at each other, and all nodded. They also spent a night thinking about it, but the elixir did not take effect.

Shen Hao grinned, "Mu Xingqiu cultivated a heaven-defying technique and used up all his potential in advance, so there wasn't much left. Haha, I can finally surpass him."

"That's not necessarily the case." Xiao Qingtao knew more about Daohuo Baby Pill than others, and showed a thoughtful expression, "The so-called potential is relative to the person. Maybe Brother Xiaoqiu's potential is comparable to others. It’s a big piece.”

"I don't believe it. I will definitely be able to surpass him this time." Shen Hao geared up, "I hope my elixir will take effect on the last day."

"I thought I was the only one who was so ambitious. It turned out that I wanted to take a pill and rise to the seventh level of inhalation." Xin Youtao still remembered the ridicule he received when he expressed his determination yesterday.

A few people discussed in low voices, Shen Jixian came out. After so many things, the founder of Wangshan was abnormal, the situation in Luanjing Mountain was unknown, and the future of Pangshan was uncertain. The head of the Five Elements Department was still smiling, and his white beard and hair were comparable to the snow on the ground. "Well, half an hour has passed. It seems that Mu Xingqiu has reached the fifth level and is about to be promoted to the sixth level. Not bad, not bad."

The Taoist priests were all taken aback, and Shen Hao was a little confused. He began to believe that Xiao Qingtao's words might be correct. A little potential of Mu Xingqiu was more than a large amount of other people's potential.

"You all stay in the inn, and don't leave until the elixir takes effect." Shen Jixian glanced at the sky, "I haven't done such work as checking the enemy's situation for at least three hundred years... Oh, I thought I could always instruct other Taoist priests. It’s a headache, it’s a headache.”

Shen Jixian had no royal weapon, so he flew directly into the air, looked to the west, and suddenly disappeared. Even the Taoist priests could only see a vague figure.

Xin Youtao said blankly, "Even if we all reach the seventh level of breathing, it may not be of much help to Master Shen."

Xiao Qingtao shook her head, "No, no matter how powerful Master Shen is, he can only take care of one thing. The demons are not stupid and will always infiltrate from other directions. That's when we are needed. In short, the more people the better."

Everyone discussed tactics and argued about Mu Xingqiu's potential. They were all very happy. The burden of protecting Duanliu City and the Ancestral Tower finally fell on the shoulders of the two masters. They only needed to do what they should do.

Another half hour passed, and Mu Xingqiu still hadn't come out. Shen Hao's face looked a little strange, "Is he really going to reach the seventh level? This... is too much." Although everyone wanted to use the Daohuo Infant Pill to reach the seventh level of breathing in one step, they all knew that this was basically impossible, especially Xiao Qingtao from the Five Elements Department, "Most people who take the medicine can only reach one or two levels, but Brother Xiaoqiu can reach three levels, which is really amazing." Shen Hao was very frustrated and turned to Xin Youtao, "It seems that I can't surpass Mu Xingqiu, but I can surpass you." There was an urgent knock on the door outside the inn. Shen Hao went to open the door, and the talisman master Liu Ding rushed in and said breathlessly: "Where is General Mu?" "He can't come out, what's the matter with you?" Shen Hao asked. Liu Ding took several deep breaths, "A group of independent cultivators were captured by the Huang Fu Army, including those who helped Duan Liu City before. They may be beheaded at noon. We have to find a way to save them."

Yang Qingyin came over, puzzled, "Tell me more clearly, what's going on? Why did the Huang Fu Army capture independent cultivators? Didn't those people leave?"

Liu Ding saluted Yang Qingyin respectfully, and then said, "You are Taoists, you may not know much, independent cultivators... have a bad reputation, many of them are wanted, such as Ouyang Liao, and his master Hong Futian, they are all fugitives that the Yingguo royal family has been chasing, this time it is like walking into a trap."

Several Taoists had heard about Hong Futian being wanted when they were in Qishan, but they never took it seriously. They didn't expect that the Huang Fu Army would actually arrest people at this time.

Yang Qingyin said angrily: "Is this called crossing the river and destroying the bridge? The demon soldiers have not been completely defeated yet, and they are actually going to kill the people who have contributed. No, I have to take care of this matter. They can't leave the inn. I will go with you."

Liu Ding hesitated for a while, "General Mu, if you can go..."

Yang Qingyin pushed Liu Ding out of the door, "Mu Xingqiu is my follower, do my words carry less weight than his?"

Liu Ding was stunned, said a series of "good", jumped on the horse to lead the way, Yang Qingyin had already flown with a sword, and headed straight for the Huangfu Army camp on the east bank of the Jie River.

The Taoists were used to Yang Qingyin's impatient temper, so they were not worried. Even Xin Youtao, who knew the situation of the scattered cultivators best, said: "Taoist Pangshan personally pleaded for mercy, and the Huangfu Army would spare their lives. I just wonder, these scattered cultivators have already said goodbye, why do they want to come back?"

Time passed little by little, and after another hour, Mu Xingqiu still didn't come out of the room, and Yang Qingyin didn't return, so the Taoists were a little uneasy.

"Even if you reach the seventh level of breathing, it should be over." Shen Hao said doubtfully.

"Yes, it is impossible to break through the realm with pills. The seventh level is the limit." Xiao Qingtao felt even more incomprehensible, "Should we go in and take a look?"

Xin Youtao hurriedly stopped him, "Zuo Liuying is across the way. If he doesn't come out, then nothing will happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Liuying's door opened, and it was not him who came out, but Lan Qizhang.

"It's been more than two hours." Xiao Qingtao said worriedly.

Lan Qizhang nodded and said calmly: "It's nothing serious, wwｗ.ansｈ.ｃｏm I'll go and take a look."

Lan Qizhang walked into Mu Xingqiu's room and closed the door, leaving several Taoists looking at each other in confusion.

Mu Xingqiu was still sitting on the bed, his face, hands, and exposed skin were as red as burning charcoal, his whole body was trembling slightly, and there was a wisp of white gas rising from his head. Anyone who has experienced the Taoist fire quenching pill knows that this situation is very abnormal.

Lan Qizhang's face was not anxious at all. He calmly took out the magic tools one by one, including candles, oil lamps, copper seals, copper mirrors, etc., a total of seven items, all floating between him and Mu Xingqiu, and then he began to chant in a low voice.

Mu Xingqiu's expression eased slightly.

Lan Qizhang stopped chanting and looked at the young Taoist priest opposite him kindly and even with some pity, "This is why Taoist priests cannot be emotional. You could have risen to the seventh level of breathing, but because of a thought, you are struggling between the fifth and sixth levels. Qin Lingshuang is more talented than you and practices faster. Therefore, the danger she may encounter when tempering the pill with Taoist fire is a hundred times more serious than you."

(I will take the train this afternoon and come back on the 15th. I have some personal matters to deal with. During this period, I will try my best to ensure two updates a day. The time may not be stable. Please understand.) (To be continued...)\u003c!--flag00xs--\u003e
