Here's the thing.
This day.
Xu Sheng and Shi Niang were still trekking in the mountains and forests.
Suddenly they heard the sound of people killing each other.
The two men looked at each other, then quietly approached and hid in a big tree to watch from a distance.
They saw an old Taoist priest fighting with an old monk.
I saw an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face, with ten flying swords circling around his body!
With a casual point of the finger, the flying sword whistles!
Extraordinary fighting power!
Obviously he is a strong man in the Yang Shen realm!
The old monk opposite was not tall, but very big, like a small mountain. He was fat and had big ears. He wore a string of Buddhist beads around his neck and a cassock that exposed half of his shoulders.
At this time, the old monk's skin was shining with golden light. It was unknown whether he was performing some kind of Buddhist power or not. He was not holding any weapon in his hands.
But when he attacked, his two palms were harder than black steel!
Several more bright red flesh arms popped out from behind the body with a "puff puff" sound!
Afterwards, his arms grew to six in total!
Very weird!
It looks like the legendary three-headed, six-armed creature.
But there is only one head.
The old monk formed Buddhist seals with all six arms, and every strike he made was accompanied by a shock of Buddhist light.
All the flying swords of the old Taoist priest were blocked.
"Amitabha!"
Every word uttered by the old monk was like the sound of a huge bell, and every step he took was powerful and heavy: "Call out the Daolingtu, or you will die~~~~!!"
He rushed towards the old Taoist priest with great ferocity.
"Don't even think about it!"
The old Taoist priest also rebuked: "That was originally the property of my Taoist ancestors!"
As he spoke, the flying sword whistled and rushed over!
"The Daolingtu is a dangerous thing!"
The old monk said: "I must get it today and convert it!"
Then he continued to attack with his six arms, killing the old Taoist priest.
Two people were fighting fiercely in the forest!
The trees wherever it passed were broken and fell, the soil on the ground was blown up, and many rocks were shattered!
Very scary.
“So strong!”
Xu Sheng's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this, and he thought to himself: "Who are these two people? Are they fighting for the Dao Spiritual Map? What is this thing?"
Of course, Xu Sheng didn’t actually want to take action at this time.
After all, these two guys are quite strong, and Xu Sheng doesn't want to get involved.
Unless both of them are defeated, Xu Sheng might be able to take advantage of the situation.
"Is that Taoist Xuande?"
However, Shi Niang unexpectedly used his magical power to condense a voice and directed it to Xu Sheng, saying, "Xiao Chengyuan, that's your uncle!"
"What? My uncle Xuande?"
Xu Sheng was stunned. He also used his magic power to condense a sound and directed it to Shi Niang's ears and asked, "It's him?"
Xu Sheng had heard Xuan Zhen say before that Xuan Zhen still had some fellow disciples, but some of them traveled around the world and never returned to the Taoist temple.
So Xuanzhen didn't know whether those people were still alive.
However, according to Xuan Zhen's previous speculation, they should all be dead.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed away from Yunhu Temple for so many years.
But I didn’t expect Shi Niang to say this now.
"Absolutely!"
At this time, Shi Niang said, "I have seen him many times when he was traveling with your master Xuan Zhen. It is definitely him! Oh no, Taoist Xuan De seems to be at a disadvantage! Hurry up and save your uncle!"
As he spoke, Shi Niang became a little anxious.
Originally, Shi Niang even wanted to use his magic power to take action.
But she remembered that Xu Sheng had a very yang body.
In addition, Xu Sheng did not agree with her absorbing the Yang energy.
So she stopped.
It is very difficult for her to recover her magic power after using it.
But it’s different when Xu Sheng uses his magic power, he can recover quite quickly afterwards.
So she urged Xu Sheng.
"Since he is my uncle, then of course I have to save him."
Xu Sheng said: "But there's no rush."
"You brat!"
Shi Niang glared at him and said, "I really don't know who you learned this style of behavior from!"
After all, she had been with Xu Sheng for decades, so she certainly knew what Xu Sheng was thinking at this moment.
He definitely wants to stay here for a while.
Wait until the two people outside have finished fighting before taking action.
But that Taoist priest is Uncle Master Xu Sheng.
But Xu Sheng has a very yang body!
Let your uncle beat you until his energy is exhausted before you take action?
Shi Niang originally thought that Xu Sheng would take direct action.
Taking action later will also be a rescue, and taking action now will also be a rescue, and the latter can also save the uncle-master from being consumed.
However, Xu Sheng ignored Shi Niang at this time.
It's good enough that he decided to save people.
It's impossible to be stupid enough to take action now.
Even though he has a very yang body, who does he owe anything to?
Does a person with a very yang body have to rely on his physical condition to save people?
At this time, Xu Sheng certainly knew what Shi Niang was thinking.
But Xu Sheng didn't want to pay attention.
Xu Sheng doesn't owe them anything.
Just like Shi Niang wanted to practice dual cultivation with him and absorb his yang energy all day long, Xu Sheng was actually a little annoyed.
He doesn't owe Shi Niang any money.
As a result, Shi Niang always wanted to take advantage of him.
Even if the Yang Essence was sucked away, the Yang Body would be able to recover after a period of time.
But Xu Sheng doesn't owe Shi Niang any money.
In short, Xu Sheng was just observing silently at this time.
Ten minutes later.
Xu Sheng saw the old monk using some kind of Buddhist technique, and there was a wisp of black air floating around the Buddha's light.
The sound of a baby crying could be faintly heard from the Buddha's light.
"You actually practiced this kind of magic!"
Xuande's face changed drastically as he said, "You keep saying that you are devoted to Buddhism, but you are harming babies to practice martial arts!"
"Amitabha."
However, the old monk just said: "They are all sinful, I am just trying to save them!"
While speaking, he continued to kill fiercely.
"Why don't you take action?" Shi Niang's face changed when he saw this.
After the old monk used this move, the power of the six arms doubled!
"Shut up." Xu Sheng glanced at Shi Niang and just said, "Be quiet."
The old monk can use such methods now, who knows if he can use other powerful methods in the future?
Xu Sheng was speechless.
Shi Niang has lived for hundreds of years after all, how could he still be so naive!
But think about it, she probably spends most of her time practicing.
So she is usually more girlish in nature, and she fell in love at first sight with Xuanzhen, and was deeply involved in it after she fell in love.
"Hmph." Shi Niang's cheeks puffed up.
But there was nothing she could do at this time.
Take action yourself?
She was reluctant to waste her magic power.
After all, Xu Sheng refused to let her absorb Yang Yuan.
Plus, her magical powers will be used to save Xuanzhen later.
So she could only watch.
In short, the two of them continued to watch like this.
Xuande fought with the old monk for another hour.
Finally, both of them had consumed a lot of their magic power.
"boom!"
When the old monk used all six arms to attack, Xuande's flying sword was blown away, his body was thrown out, and blood was already gushing out of his mouth.
Xu Shengcai finally took action.
"Flying Sword, go!!!"
Xu Sheng did not rush forward directly, but mobilized the pure yang soul in his sea of consciousness. Now he has five pure yang souls, so he can mobilize four of them out of his body.
The other one stays behind to dominate the physical body.
The four pure yang souls are all very strong and powerful.
They all got into the flying swords.
In an instant, Xu Sheng seemed to have four extra arms.
He controlled the flying sword with his mind and killed forward.
Of course, at the same time, he was pinching the magic formula with his hands, which was to enhance his control over the pure yang soul that had left his body.
Because the Pure Yang Soul has left the body, even if it resides in a flying sword, its control becomes weaker the farther it is away from the body.
This impact can be relatively alleviated through magic formulas.
“Disgraceful!!!”
In short, at this time Xu Sheng's four flying swords whistled towards the six-armed old monk.
"who?"
The old monk was also shocked: "Who attacked me? Despicable!"
His six arms turned around, and the Buddha's light with black air suddenly exploded.
He actually blocked all four of Xu Sheng's flying swords with a bang.
"die!"
Of course, the seals in Xu Sheng's hands were changing continuously at this time, constantly strengthening his control over the sword, controlling the flying sword to change again, and continuing to kill the old monk.
"Uncle Master, I am Xuan Zhen's disciple!"
At the same time, Xu Sheng immediately shouted: "Quick, attack together!"
Xu Sheng did not intend to use the endurance of his extremely yang body to wear down the old monk, nor did he intend to use his martial arts skills as a half-step martial saint to fight him head-on with his physical body.
He guessed that Xuande should still have some strength, so he let Xuande continue to attack.
After all, Xu Sheng had done his best by saving Xuande.
This is not an obligation!
Xu Sheng didn't intend to give more.
Sure enough, Xuande also reacted at this time.
"Old monk, die!"
He pinched his hands together with a spell.
Buzz buzz buzz!!!
Several flying swords took off again.
"Disgraceful, disgraceful, disgraceful!"
Attack the old monk again.
Cooperate with Xu Sheng's four flying swords.
The numerous flying swords were like flies, surrounding the old monk and killing him madly.
And the old monk was indeed quite fierce.
It lasted for more than a minute.
Only then was the defense broken through by the flying sword.
Xu Sheng's flying sword took advantage of the opportunity and sneaked in.
A sword cuts across the throat!
Then Xuande's flying swords also swarmed in!
Crazy strangulation!
After a while, the old monk died.
Before his death, he wanted to practice the method of sitting in meditation and burn his body to become a Buddha, but before he could do so, he was chopped into pieces by Xuande's flying sword.
"Master Xuande."
Seeing the battle was over, Shi Niang didn't wait for Xu Sheng to speak, and jumped out and said, "Are you okay?"
"This female donor?"
Xuande retracted his flying sword and looked at Shi Niang in confusion: "Who are you?"
He just heard Xu Sheng's voice and knew that the person who attacked was obviously a young man.
I didn’t expect that a beautiful and charming lady in red named Shi Niang would appear now.
"I am the little cat demon, Shi Niang!"
Shi Niang said: "Back then..."
"Ah? It's you?"
Xuande was surprised and asked, "You have turned into a human body?"
Of course Xu Sheng also went out at this time.
At this time, Shi Niang had already spoken continuously, telling the story of Xuan Zhen again.
Xuande was shocked.
Saddened by Xuanzhen's passing.
"You were the one who saved me just now?"
Afterwards, Xuande also looked at Xu Sheng and said, "Senior Brother Xuanzhen has a good disciple."
"Uncle Master."
Of course Xu Sheng also said: "You're welcome."
Although the other party was his uncle, Xu Sheng was still a little wary at this time.
After all, Xuande has not been seen for so many years.
Who knows what time has changed people into?
He helped out of friendship as a master, but that didn't mean he would blindly trust the other party.
After all, even a fake Guanyin Bodhisattva can appear!
"Anyway, this time, thanks to you guys!"
Xuande also took the dead old monk's space magic tool and said, "This old man's space magic tool contains some things that are helpful for cultivation, and even a fairy's inner pill that he hasn't had time to refine. You can share it..."
"What?"
Xu Sheng was surprised: "Inner elixir?"
This benefit is real!
Afterwards, Shi Niang also got some things that were beneficial to her cultivation.
And then.
The three of them left.
Came to a secluded place.
Xuande sat cross-legged, somewhat weakly, and said that he needed to regulate his breathing and recover for a while.
Xu Sheng and Shi Niang looked at each other and continued to practice.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months have passed.
It took three full months to refine it.
Xu Shengcai had just finished refining the inner elixir.
He transformed its energy into his own magic power and cultivated a pure yang soul.
The inner elixir obtained from the old monk turned out to be quite powerful, which was a pleasant surprise.
"Flying sword, rise!"
Xu Sheng glanced at Shi Niang and Xuan De who were still practicing, and let his five pure yang souls fly out of his body. Suddenly, five flying swords flew into the air and rotated around Xu Sheng's body.
"Strength has increased again!"
Xu Sheng was quite satisfied with this.
Although this progress is not very great.
But it’s already very good.
Of course, Xu Sheng cannot continue to improve his skills by refining the demon's inner elixir.
The reason why he had refined the scorpion spirit's inner elixir before and this time's refining of the inner elixir could directly improve his Taoism.
This is because of the foundation Xu Sheng had accumulated through so many years of practice.
He just has low energy now.
That's why it is possible.
But this kind of refining improvement definitely has a limit.
At some point it may not work.
For example, the little Taoist nun in her previous life, she was refining but couldn't digest it anymore, so she had to slow down.
Therefore, the level of cultivation cannot be improved by killing monsters.
However, if you have reached a certain level of cultivation, this method will be very useful.
At least Xu Sheng hasn't reached that bottleneck yet.
If he could refine more goblin inner cores, Xu Sheng estimated that he could continue to improve in a short period of time.
Of course, it was at this time.
Shi Niang also opened her beautiful eyes.
A hint of joy showed on Shi Niang's face.
Obviously the strength has also improved.
"Xiao Chengyuan, following you is indeed beneficial!"
She said directly: "I will always follow you from now on, you are not allowed to abandon me."
“…”
Xu Sheng was speechless.
However, this time Shi Niang was just watching from the side, and in the end he also got a share of the benefits, all thanks to Xu Sheng.
But Xu Sheng didn't know whether she was naive or deliberately trying to tease him by saying such ambiguous words to him? Was she trying to seduce him to practice dual cultivation with her, or to absorb her Yang Yuan?
Therefore Xu Sheng did not respond to her.
She is like this because she wants to save Xuanzhen, so she is a little twisted and crazy, but she is still trustworthy.
So Xu Sheng still let her stay with him.
Of course, at this time Xuande also opened his eyes.
He exchanged a few words with Shi Niang and Xu Sheng.
"Do you know what the Daolingtu that I fought with this old monk for is?"
He said directly: "This involves a great opportunity!"
Xu Sheng and Shi Niang both looked at Xuande.
“We are all family!”
Xuande said, "Let's not beat around the bush. This spiritual map is a treasure map left by the most brilliant sage in our Taoist sect, Zhang Daoling! Legend has it that if you unlock the mystery of this thing, you can find the inheritance he left behind!"
"What?"
Shi Niang was shocked: "Zhang Daoling?"
Xu Sheng was also shocked.
Because Zhang Daoling is an extremely talented person in the history of Taoism in this world!
According to legend, he looked only about twenty years old at the time, but he had already trained his Yang God Soul to the number of one hundred!
He can be called the number one genius!
But it is a pity that this peerless genius did not leave behind any special skills.
After he cultivated his Yang God Soul to level 100, he confidently chose to overcome the tribulation and ascend to heaven.
According to the records in Taoist scriptures, this person successfully ascended to heaven.
Therefore, later generations called him "Daoling Zhenren"!
Of course, after what happened with Xuan Zhen, Xu Sheng was not sure whether this 'Zhang Daoling' had really succeeded in ascending.
Maybe he was killed by the great terror above the ascension just like Xuan Zhen.
Maybe he escaped.
These are all unknowns.
But now Xuande actually said that this person actually left behind a legacy in secret!
This couldn't help but make Xu Sheng excited!
It is possible that this person's inheritance contains the secret of how he was able to train the Yang God Soul to the number of a hundred in such a short time.
