After receiving Xu Luo's reminder, the man thanked him repeatedly and finally went down the mountain.
Xu Luo did not tell him what to do if the ancestral hall could not hold it.
The man didn't ask.
Maybe he forgot to ask, or maybe he already knew the result.
However, there are usually many ancestral spirits in the ancestral hall, and even the third-level ghosts dare not approach, so as long as they hide in the ancestral hall, they are basically safe.
If even the spirits of their ancestors cannot protect them, it basically means that ordinary Taoist priests are powerless to save the situation.
The man left, and Xu Luo continued to do his own thing calmly as usual.
But deep down, I can't stay calm forever.
This incident may seem like a small matter, but it actually had a huge impact on him.
In particular, it made him deeply aware of his own weakness and powerlessness in the face of evil spirits.
In this world, if you want to survive well, you can only try your best to improve your strength.
Faced with this stimulation, Xu Luo felt infinite motivation in his heart.
Morning classes, evening classes, every single one, none of them were missed.
At night, he drove No. 1 and the others to fight continuously and stockpile as many Yinhun Pearls as possible.
He didn't dare to let No. 2 upgrade to level three at this time.
He can only control one more level two. Once a level three appears, the limit will be exceeded.
At this time, Xu Luo stockpiled as many Yinhun beads as possible.
On the one hand, it is to prepare for the 15th of July, and on the other hand, it is also to speed up the process of building one's own foundation and speed up the process of refining the Six Ding and Six Jia generals.
The higher the level of sacrifice, the less oppression on Xu Luo will be, and more evil spirits can be driven away.
At the same time, Xu Luo's own strength is improving, which can also increase the upper limit of the number that can be controlled.
During the day, he would practice health-preserving boxing whenever he had free time.
Although it is a health-preserving fist, the overflowing essence, energy and spirit will be consumed by the health-preserving fist, so that one's essence, energy and spirit will always be in a perfect state. The excess ones will not overflow by themselves, but will be consumed and used to consolidate one's foundation, rather than being consumed.
Therefore, the more you practice health-preserving boxing, the more energetic you will feel.
Although it consumed a lot of physical energy and caused Xu Luo to have a big appetite, it was naturally worth it.
His life was monotonous and boring, but Xu Luo himself enjoyed it.
Tiandu Peak is sparsely populated, with basically no outsiders, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain rarely go up the mountain.
Xu Luo wanted to learn martial arts techniques. The stronger the physique, the more energy he would have. The effect would naturally be better in the stage of refining essence into qi.
But this is only theoretical.
In the initial stage of learning, practicing martial arts is mentally exhausting and it damages the spirit and nourishes the essence. After practicing for a whole day, you are exhausted. Your energy is indeed improved, but your spiritual power is consumed too much. How can you possibly refine your essence into qi?
Refining essence into qi is nothing more than reducing what is deficient and replenishing what is in excess.
This goes against the original intention of practicing Taoism.
Only after passing the 100-day foundation-building stage, crossing the stage of refining essence into qi, and reaching the stage of refining spirit, can one dabble in martial arts. Moreover, because the spirit is complete and the qi is sufficient, the improvement in martial arts will be faster.
When a Taoist cultivates the Tao, the three flowers of essence, energy and spirit will naturally develop in tandem without any flaws.
When a warrior has developed a strong physique and has abundant Qi and blood, it is common for him to spend his energy to nourish his spirit and practice Taoism.
But at that time, few people would do that.
I am used to taking action myself. When something happens, I can solve it with just one fist. Why do I need so many other methods?
This is also the reason why Taoists call them warriors.
Although a peak martial artist can actually cultivate the Yin Spirit, he is no longer suitable for practicing Taoism.
Because they need to keep their qi and blood pure.
Therefore, if Xu Luo wants to practice martial arts as well, he needs to refine his spirit and cultivate the Yin Spirit, and then he can apply what he has learned to other situations.
However, it is actually enough to practice health-preserving boxing at this time.
Time flies.
Although it is already July, the beginning of autumn, the so-called autumn tiger is still there.
From midsummer to autumn, the temperature does not drop as quickly, but it is noticeably felt at night, resulting in a huge temperature difference between day and night.
Fortunately, Xu Luo didn't pay much attention to it.
During the day, he began to occasionally cut wood near the shallow layer of the dense forest.
Not all the trees have to be cut down, that would be too much work.
Instead, they cut down a few trees every now and then to make the forest less dense and more sparse, so that sunlight can penetrate and disperse the negative energy, giving them a place to hide and not strengthening them all the time.
Although the effect is not that great, after dispelling some of the Yin Qi, it will not be so easy to increase the strength of the Yin spirits in the marginal areas.
Moreover, if Xu Luo pushes forward little by little, he will be able to bring sunshine to the central area as well.
If possible, Xu Luo would naturally want to burn the dense forest directly to dispel the evil spirits and make sure these evil spirits have nowhere to hide.
But he also knew that this was unrealistic.
There is yin and yang in the world. Even if I destroy this dense forest, there will still be shadows elsewhere for them to hide.
Taoists follow the will of heaven and forcibly violate the laws of nature, which will lead to heaven's punishment. Everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme, and things may even make things worse.
So he only made limited changes to weaken their strength.
At this time, he did not have the cultivation level of returning to the void, and could not flatten the world with one sword, so he could only stay hidden and slowly improve his strength.
As long as you keep improving yourself, one day, there will be no danger of improvement.
Xu Luo has always believed this.
Of course, if you cannot improve your own strength, the same principle applies to improving the strength of those around you.
Just like when he met Lin Bao, Taoist Tianji helped him drive him away. When he encounters danger, he can ignore the danger directly if the people around him are helpful.
It’s a pity that Su Li, Su Ying and others are not here, so I have to bear any danger by myself.
Like the previous three years, basically everything they had was dealt with by them. Xu Luo would at most encounter some danger, but nothing serious. As long as he was careful to avoid it, there would be basically no problem as long as he stayed on their body.
But now the world has changed drastically, and the people around me are no longer around to protect me. If there is any danger, I can only face it by myself.
Fortunately, apart from the evil spirits, there was no other danger for Xu Luo at this time.
So he just needs to improve his strength.
At least that's the case when there's no full moon.
July 4th, Thursday.
Xu Luo was walking in the mountains with an axe in his hand.
He held an axe in his hand and had his master's sword on his waist, looking a bit out of place.
Even though he is alone at this time, Number One is actually always hovering around him. Once he encounters danger, Number One can appear instantly.
This is also the benefit after the sacrifice.
In the dense forest, away from direct sunlight, No. 1 can exert its full strength.
Even if it is outside, not when the sun is at its strongest at noon, it can still exert 80% of its effect, unlike the others, which cannot appear in the sun.
