When Su Rui merged into the old Taoist's spirit and transformed into the old Taoist's appearance and appeared on the streets of Qingxu Town, he simultaneously obtained the old Taoist's memories.
It turns out that this old Taoist, nicknamed "Fire Crow Taoist," was originally a disciple of the Huashan Sect's Fiery Patriarch. However, due to his humble background, he could not afford to offer his master any substantial financial support, and thus never received the true Huashan teachings. Despite all his efforts, he only learned some minor techniques. Forced to try to create his own, he eventually combined the fire-based techniques he learned in the Huashan Sect with some unorthodox techniques to create the "Fire Crow Sutra." After he painstakingly created his technique, his master attempted to embezzle his Fire Crow Sutra and asked the Fiery Patriarch for a reward, ultimately forcing him to defect from the Huashan Sect and become a wandering Taoist.
The Fire Crow Taoist was a man of exceptional talent. At the age of thirty, he created the "Fire Crow Scripture" and spent another twenty years developing his own Fire Crow Formations, drawing inspiration from the Huashan School's Fiery Fire Formation. The Small Fire Crow Formation, comprised of either thirty-six or seventy-two fire crows, could transform into a fiery realm. When facing a formidable foe, the fire crows could form a large formation, trapping the enemy and slowly scorching them to death. The Large Fire Crow Formation, comprised of one hundred and eight fire crows, created a slightly larger realm, primarily designed for group battles.
The fire dragon in his hand was a magical belt he had stolen when he defected from the Huashan Sect. It was crafted by the Fiery Patriarch using the essence of a fire dragon. It was originally a set, but unfortunately, he only stole this one belt. Even so, this belt had repeatedly served him well and saved him several times.
The gold bricks and flying swords were spoils of war obtained by others.
These two items, especially the gold brick, were truly ingenious when used in conjunction with his Fire Crow Formation. Over the years, many opponents had been killed by him using the gold brick to knock them unconscious, then trapped in the Fire Crow Formation, and finally refined to death.
The Fire Crow Taoist had come to Qingcheng Mountain because he had seized a magical weapon from an old rival: the Black Bee Bag. As the name suggests, this thing is specifically used to raise black-clawed wild bees.
After obtaining this magic weapon, Taoist Huo Ya began to look for the Black-clawed Wild Bees everywhere in order to increase his means of fighting the enemy. He happened to learn that there were Black-clawed Wild Bees in the depths of Qingcheng Mountain, so he trekked through mountains and rivers into the deep forests of Qingcheng Mountain to look for them everywhere. What's more, he was lucky and actually found a nest of Black-clawed Wild Bees.
Since the Black Bee Bag could only hold eighty-one Black Claw Wild Bees, the number was limited. While the Black Claw Wild Bee nest he had found was quite large, its attack power wasn't strong, and only a few of the bees caught his eye. So, he brought the nest out of the mountains and opened a cave near the edge of Qingcheng Mountain, where he began researching how to upgrade the Black Claw Wild Bees.
Whether it was selecting a better species by hybridizing other poisonous bees, increasing the toxicity of the black-clawed wild bees by feeding them highly poisonous insects, or increasing the bloodthirstiness of the black-clawed wild bees by feeding them animal blood, he tried them all, and finally raised the alien species of black-clawed wild bees that Su Rui encountered.
The reason these black-clawed wild bees appeared in Niutou Town and Qingxu Town was because he wanted to test the power of the black-clawed poisonous bees he had carefully cultivated. But who knew that this time he would encounter Su Rui, an anomaly, and end up here.
After reading the memories of Taoist Fire Crow, Su Rui had no empathy or sympathy for this guy's life. From the fact that he disregarded the lives of the townspeople in the end and used them to test the power of the alien black-tipped poisonous bees, it can be seen that Taoist Fire Crow himself is a person who disregards life and has evil intentions!
However, Su Rui was quite appreciative of his self-created "Fire Crow Scripture" and combat mode.
In the past, in order to study and practice the "Fire Crow Sutra", the Fire Crow Taoist once kept company with wild crows. More than tens of thousands of wild crows died at his hands. Finally, he exhausted all means to cultivate a wild crow fairy with a trace of three-legged golden crow bloodline, and absorbed its essence and blood to refine this Fire Crow Pot.
Due to material limitations, his Fire Crow Pot could only hold a hundred or so Fire Crows. It also had the power to reshape Fire Crow spirits, though it required the use of some Wild Crow spirits. The reason he released seventy-two Fire Crows was because the Fire Crow Formation, composed of seventy-two wild ducks, was the most powerful formation in a one-on-one duel.
As for his bludgeoning style, Su Rui felt he could learn from it, or even copy it directly, since the Gold Brick and the Fire Crow Formation were already in his hands. If he hadn't been so inspired this time and directly transformed into the form of a Tongbi Divine Ape to fight, if he had directly faced the Gold Brick and the Fire Crow Formation in human form, he might have fallen victim to the Fire Crow Taoist's tricks!
That gold brick was truly impossible to defend against. However, it also had its drawbacks: it was only suitable for striking someone when they were least prepared, like a bludgeoning blow. If used directly against a flying sword, it would surely be chopped to pieces, losing its spirituality and becoming nothing more than a pile of scrap gold.
In addition, Taoist Fire Crow also had a belt, a dark green bag, and a storage bag that was only about ten square meters.
There are a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and a lot of refining materials hidden in the storage bag, but now is not the time to count them.
Su Rui took off the belt of Taoist Fire Crow, took back the fire dragon that was fighting with the red dragon, and threw the belt to the red dragon.
He took out a dark green bag from the Fire Crow Taoist's arms, cast a spell, and scattered the green louse insects, Thunder Scale, and the black bees he had killed. Only a dozen or so were left, and he captured them one by one in the bag.
The dark green bag is the black bee bag that Taoist Huo Ya seized from an opponent. It can currently hold eighty-one black-clawed wild bees. It is a magic weapon that has the functions of helping wild bees heal their injuries, restore their vitality, and increase their toxicity.
A large number of the green fly insects released by Su Rui also died, and their number was reduced by at least half. Among them, the green fly insects with Geng metal attributes also decreased from eighteen to eleven. Even the synthesized green fly sword was broken compared to the original one.
After Su Rui took back the green fly insect, he finally set his sights on the two groups of fire crows that were still intertwined and fighting each other.
Although the number of Black Flame Fire Crows he released was small, the Samadhi Black Flame he possessed was of a higher level, making its lethality naturally slightly greater than that of the Fire Crow Taoist. So, even though he was outnumbered by half, he still managed to kill quite a few Fire Crows. By this point in the fight, Su Rui's Black Flame Fire Crows were still numbering over twenty, while the Fire Crow Taoist had only around thirty. Furthermore, since those Fire Crows had been killed by a higher level of True Fire, there was no way they could be revived using the Fire Crow Pot.
Su Rui used the Fire Crow Pot to collect the Fire Crows that the Fire Crow Taoist had released. He then activated the wild crow spirits that were originally in the Fire Crow Pot, allowing the Fire Crow Pot to increase the number of Fire Crows on its own, and then collected it.
After seeing that nothing else was left out, Su Rui activated the Mirage Dragon Pearl and took the Fire Crow Taoist's spirit back into the Yuan Mirage Illusion, revealing his young human form.
At this point, the disaster that was about to destroy Qingxu Town has finally come to an end!
However, according to Taoist Fire Crow's memory, there are still many black-eared wild bees scattered outside, which need to be subdued one by one, so Su Rui's work is not yet completed.
