Unfortunately...
Although Taoist Zi Yang is a foundation-building cultivator like them, he is a disciple of Taoist Feng Yin, and his strength is far different from that of ordinary foundation-building cultivators.
Even with the pressure from the Soul Locking Formation, Taoist Zi Yang still relied on the formation imprinted on his body and killed the two men.
Of course, Zhang San and Li Si’s attacks were not completely ineffective.
Taoist Zi Yang's injuries were not light. His realm had dropped drastically during this period, and even his foundation had been damaged. He had fallen from the peak of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building, and was still falling.
More importantly, his most important trump card, the formation imprinted on his body, was destroyed. It would take at least several years to fully recover.
During this period of time, Taoist Zi Yang did not plan anything. It would be good enough if he could recover from his injuries in peace. Therefore, he was forced to lie dormant.
"It's too late to find another batch of seeds now." Taoist Zi Yang looked at the Xuan Yin Gu seeds in his hand, his eyes gradually became fierce, "It seems that Master, I can only... take the most helpless path after all."
At this time, Taoist Zi Yang had already locked Luo Xue into the Yin Xi Puppet Refining Array, and returned to the courtyard where Su Yiyao and others were.
He wanted to see if there was still a chance.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Taoist Zi Yang saw Huang Xinya and Yu Yiling standing in a daze in front of a house.
Taoist Zi Yang frowned slightly. He remembered that this was Luo Xue's residence.
And... there's another girl living inside.
"Su Yiyao..."
Taoist Zi Yang narrowed his eyes.
In fact, he had already realized that Su Yiyao had not been practicing much during this period, so her progress in realm was so slow.
But it doesn’t matter, because Su Yiyao is the worst one in the aptitude test, even worse than Luo Xue.
Therefore, Taoist Zi Yang did not have much hope, and would not have much expectation for her either.
But the problem is...
Her consumption of Dao essence is abnormal.
The so-called Tao essence is a very precious resource for practice, and it has an excellent effect on the practice of enlightenment.
Things that can emit the aura of Tao are either some ancient secret treasures or special items, and they are all extremely rare.
Taoist Zi Yang happened to have a few incense sticks for concentrating the mind in his hand. After lighting them, the Taoist energy emitted would be beneficial even to the cultivators who were building their foundation.
He had originally planned to use it to break through to the Jindan stage after the success, but time was urgent, so he had no choice but to give it to this group of girls who didn't even have the innate ability.
Taoist Zi Yang naturally knew that this was such a precious thing and had been closely monitoring their consumption of Taoist essence.
But Su Yiyao... her consumption of Dao essence is three or four times that of others, but her cultivation speed is far slower than others. Taoist Zi Yang was so distressed that he wanted to withdraw.
So, what is the situation now
Taoist Zi Yang took a few steps forward, and Huang Xinya and Yu Yiling spotted him and hurried forward to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Master!"
"What's wrong?"
Taoist Zi Yang looked into the house and his eyes paused.
Huang Xinya and Yu Yiling looked at each other, then bowed again.
"Su Yiyao... has entered the Xiantian realm."
Taoist Ziyang: “???”
innate
Didn’t you still have an allergic rhinitis yesterday
For a moment, even Taoist Zi Yang was stunned.
You should know that between nasal sensitivity and innateness, there are two small realms of clear eyesight and supernatural powers, as well as a threshold to a big realm!
Just one night... and they all transcended
How... is this possible?!
But when Taoist Zi Yang sensed it carefully, he couldn't hide the look of surprise on his face.
"Really... It's innate..."
Chapter 21: Xuanyin Puppet Refining
Taoist Zi Yang is not a frog in the well when it comes to cultivating immortals.
He had seen countless peerless geniuses from the immortal sects, and among them there was even a person who had a spiritual mind.
However, most of these geniuses have consumed countless cultivation resources and accumulated countless years of foundation to create such an effect. The amount is so huge that even the Jindan cultivators would be dumbfounded.
Not to mention the Dao essence of the foundation-building cultivators, even the Linking Pill and the Nascent Soul are all there.
But if there are not a vast amount of resources for cultivation... Taoist Zi Yang doubts whether there is anyone who can compare to Su Yiyao among the so-called geniuses.
At this moment, the door opened and Su Yiyao walked out, looking directly at Taoist Zi Yang with her beautiful eyes.
"Master," Su Yiyao asked in a soft voice, "After becoming a Xiantian, how should I practice?"
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Taoist Zi Yang took a few steps back for some reason.
But he soon recovered and thought to himself how could he be frightened by a little innate ghost. He went back to his usual expression.
"Follow me..."
Taoist Zi Yang paused halfway through his words.
He had originally planned to take Su Yiyao with him to try to fuse the Xuanyin Gu species, just like Li Zining did, but he changed his mind and felt that it was not safe enough.
During this period of time, the attempts to find a girl who could enter the innate Xuanyin body have failed repeatedly.
The first is aptitude, the second is cultivation.
Insufficient qualifications and insufficient cultivation.
Taoist Zi Yang had thought about letting them go further in the innate realm before fusing with the Xuan Yin Gu species.
But the problem is that every realm after the innate level is extremely mysterious and basically depends on personal perception.
Cultivating the soul, tempering the spirit, strengthening the consciousness, and refining the spirit, each step of advancement is extremely difficult. For ordinary cultivators without the help of external objects, it may take several years or even decades.
Unless Taoist Zi Yang finds the Nascent Soul Dao Essence for them to use.
But if that were true, Taoist Zi Yang wouldn't have been trapped and died in the Foundation Establishment Stage, hiding from his enemies for decades.
The longer it takes to train a disciple, the more variables there will be. For the sake of the overall plan, one can only choose to act cautiously.
Therefore, Taoist Zi Yang simply couldn't wait.
But now it's different.
Su Yiyao... One night of innateness.
Seeing that Taoist Zi Yang was silent for a long time, Su Yiyao repeated it again, with a colder tone.
"Master, how should I practice after becoming a Xiantian?"
"Practice, oh... yes, you can practice."
Taoist Zi Yang calmed down, hesitated for a moment, took out a jade slip, and handed it to Su Yiyao carefully.
"Su Yiyao, you should practice this sutra first. It will take some time to get started."
This time Taoist Zi Yang didn't dare to give it to the maid casually, because what he took out was the true teachings of the Xuan Yin Hua Feng Sutra.
What he got from his master Feng Yin Zhenren at that time was this jade slip.
As for Su Yiyao, if she succeeded in mastering the Xuanyin Huafeng Sutra...
Then Taoist Zi Yang would only be happier, as the chances of successfully fusing the Xuan Yin Gu species would increase a lot.
But unfortunately, it's impossible.
The inheritance of the Xuanyin Huafeng Sutra is not complete, and the skills are incomplete.
Otherwise, Taoist Zi Yang would not have to refine the remains of Taoist Feng Yin into the Xuan Yin Gu species.
Su Yiyao took the jade slip and put it in her sleeve casually, then said directly,
"I need more pills."
She knew in her heart that Taoist Zi Yang would agree.
Because Ah Chou had told her that Taoist Zi Yang hoped that they could practice as quickly as possible, so it was impossible for her to refuse.
Huang Xinya on the side finally couldn't stand it anymore and immediately jumped out and said,
"Su Yiyao! Who do you think you are? How dare you say that to Master..."
"good."
Before Huang Xinya finished speaking, Taoist Zi Yang nodded, took out a box and handed it to Su Yiyao.
"There are five of them here. If you don't have enough, talk to me."
Taoist Zi Yang saw Su Yiyao's attitude, but he didn't care. He didn't care at all about what Su Yiyao was planning.
Taoist Zi Yang only needs one result, and that is that Su Yiyao can successfully fuse the Xuanyin Gu species. Apart from that, it doesn't matter even if Su Yiyao insults him in person.
Because he has the strength, Taoist Zi Yang is not worried about any accidents. His foundation-building cultivation is his absolute confidence.
"I am looking forward to... you being able to use this sutra to enter the realm of soul-enrichment."
Taoist Zi Yang smiled slightly, turned around and left, ignoring Huang Xinya and Yu Yiling on the side.
In his opinion, these two people have lost their value.
Mortals without value... are like ants.
... ...
In the darkness, Luo Xue slowly opened her eyes.
"This... is the Xuanyin Puppet Refining Array?"
She looked at the formation runes that slowly emerged around her, and her expression became increasingly solemn.
After the dust settled last night, Luo Xue was brought by Taoist Zi Yang into the depths of Zi Yang Mountain, even deeper than where the foundation-building battle took place.
The concentration of the Yin Xi poison here has reached a level that is enough to suffocate. Luo Xue can feel a slight sense of wetness when she casually touches her body surface.
... They are all Yin Qi poisons that are so strong that they can condense into liquid.
And surrounding Luo Xue was the formation set up by Taoist Zi Yang.
This time, Luo Xue understood what the formation's effect was, which was to gather the surrounding Yin Qi poison.
Even if Luo Xue didn't know Taoist Zi Yang's puppet refining techniques, she could roughly guess what he wanted to do.
Luo Xue opened the panel, and red words appeared.
[Survival Status: Possessed by Gu]
"Poison me to death with the Yin Breath Poison, and then use the Gu Seed to control my body?"
The so-called Yin puppet is just an extra step of poisoning... .
It’s a pity that what Luo Xue is least afraid of is the Yin Xi poison.
The panel flashed red, and Luo Xue directly raised the resistance to insidious poison to 100 points.
In an instant, the slightly chilly environment around them became much warmer, allowing for a respite.
Luo Xue also spent 10 survival points to improve her survival status and directly eliminated the poison.
"Done."
Luo Xue clapped her hands and completely solved the problem of Taoist Zi Yang's puppet refining.
It only cost me 70 survival points, and the survival points I had saved with great difficulty were almost used up.
Luo Xue couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"It seems that I only have 20 survival points left. It will be a long time before I can escape from this situation..."
As she spoke, Luo Xue opened the survival point panel and was stunned for a moment.
