Chapter 289: Re-entering the Ancient World
The blood in the bottle flowed like liquid mercury.
Once Gu Yuanqing released some of his suppression, he seemed to transform into a dragon, like a living being.
Dragon blood is an excellent material for alchemy, and the dragon blood of a master of Yin-Yang realm is itself a rare treasure.
At that time, Gu Yuanqing cut off the arm of the Dragon Demon Ancestor, and the falling blood spilled on the trees, and the trees there began to mutate.
If a monster eats the fruit, it will stimulate its blood. If a human eats it, it will also temper their body and speed up the circulation of qi and blood, thus improving their aptitude.
This kind of blood-drawing scene happens almost every ten days or so!
Seeing that Gu Yuanqing was about to throw it back into the Tiandi Pond, the Demon Dragon Ancestor hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, fellow Taoist, let's have a chat."
Gu Yuanqing said calmly: "Have you considered it?"
The Demon Dragon Patriarch gritted his teeth and said, "I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao to obey your orders."
Gu Yuanqing was unmoved and said, "You only have two choices. Either you release your spirit and let me plant the soul seal on you, or you stay here and serve as material for my alchemy."
The Demon Dragon Ancestor was in a state of low spirits. Most of his demonic energy had been dissipated while he was in the Heaven and Earth Pond. His essence and blood had been taken away one after another, and he felt as if his cultivation level was about to regress.
Ordinary monsters whose foundations have not yet been formed can wash away their evil spirits, transform their foundations, and turn into spirit beasts in this pool. However, for a monster like him who has achieved great success in his cultivation, this may not be a good thing.
After hearing what Gu Yuanqing said, it still looked a little hesitant. Although swearing the Heavenly Oath and planting the Seal of the Soul seemed to be similar, they were actually completely different.
The oath of heaven is only to obey orders, and there may be ways to circumvent it in the future, but once the seal of the soul is planted, life and death are in one's hands, and every move will be sensed by the master of the soul seal, without any self at all.
It is a great demon in the Yin-Yang Realm, and has been the Demon King for thousands of years. It has always been the only one who controls life and death. It never thought that it would end up in such a situation today.
Seeing his expression, Gu Yuanqing chuckled and said, "Since you haven't thought it through, just take your time to think about it. I'm not in a hurry!"
After he finished speaking, he threw it back into the Tiandi Pond without waiting for his reply.
Afterwards, Gu Yuanqing rolled up the Dragon Rhino and Luo Yu of the Shura clan. Both of them had undergone the three calamities of heaven and man. Although their flesh and blood were not as good as dragon blood, they were also of great use.
Especially the blood of Shura, the pills made from it can stimulate the potential of the whole body, whether it is to improve strength in critical moments of battle, or to break through limit levels during practice.
And the most valuable thing is that after using it, it will not hurt the root, but will only weaken the blood and vitality, and it will take time to recuperate.
Dragon Rhino had already succumbed to these two, but the floating world could not accommodate the existence of the Three Tribulations of Heaven and Man. There was no point in releasing them back to the Demon Realm, and controlling and refining the soul seal required dividing his spiritual thoughts. Gu Yuanqing was still far from the Three Tribulations of Heaven and Man, and was also a burden. He still wanted to stay with the Demon Dragon Ancestor.
As for Luo Yu, as a Shura, he seemed to have already put life and death aside and had no intention of surrendering at all. According to him, Shuras would never be slaves and could be killed or cut as the Lord wished.
Back in the alchemy hall, Gu Yuanqing refined some elixirs and added the Soul-Quenching Pill made from dragon blood. The grade of the elixir was third grade, which caused a heavenly calamity to strike, and its effect was of great use to both the gods and humans.
Gu Yuanqing kept the pills that were useful to him and gave the rest to Li Chengyi.
After that, he rested for two days and adjusted his condition to the best. Then he sat cross-legged in the practice hall, opened layers of space barriers, opened up his domain, sensed the world of nothingness through the virtual sky world, and then escaped into the ancient world.
The speed of enlightenment and cultivation alone is still too slow. Gu Yuanqing has the Red Dust Wine, so going to Wuliang River to obtain the Soul of Taoism for cultivation is naturally the best choice.
In the ancient world, Gu Yuanqing opened his eyes.
At this time, he was on a platform in the underground crack. He reached into the stone, broke the hidden formation, and took out the Heavenly Order, fishing gear and ancient coins.
Then he used the earth escape technique and walked to the ground.
It has been more than a year since the initial conflict, and it is obvious that the celestial beings from the Sanyang Sect and the Sixiang Sect do not have the patience to wait here for long.
Gu Yuan used the Qingfeng Dun technique and floated away. When he arrived at a place, he probed with his mind.
Just as he was about to take a look at the items he had hidden, he suddenly felt something strange, and then he withdrew his mind and quickly left. "The things here must have been taken away. The gods left a sensing array, and once it is touched, people will know about it. I was careful just now, but maybe I have been noticed."
He entered the ancient world in search of opportunities and was not willing to engage in meaningless fights. Even if the magic weapons and artifacts hidden there were valuable, they were of no use to him.
After all, isn't it possible to get Dao Soul just by fishing?
Next to the Huanling Sect’s headquarters, on an ancient fishing platform, an old man suddenly looked up.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"The magic circle left by the master has been disturbed."
"Could it be that the villain who injured Senior Brother Zhuang has entered this world?" asked the young man next to him.
The old man said calmly: "I'll go take a look."
Then he retracted his fishing gear, leaped into the air, and disappeared into a flash of light.
After a while.
Gu Yuanqing arrived in front of the Wuliang River, but his clothes and appearance had changed compared to before, and even his aura was very different.
These techniques were extremely easy for him who had practiced the Wanxiang Sect's Wuxiang Heart Sutra.
Although the soul is difficult to identify, if you remember his spiritual aura and carefully identify it, you can still recognize it, but at least this way you can avoid most of the trouble.
Moreover, with Gu Yuanqing's level of cultivation, it would be difficult to see through his disguise unless he was at the peak of Xutian or above, or someone like Zhuang Tianlai who had fought with him personally.
The Wuliang River stretches for a very long time. Although there are many monks coming here, they can rush along the river and soon find a secluded place to start fishing.
The Taoist bait that imitates the Heavenly Fishing Technique is quite tempting to the Taoist souls in the Wuliang River.
That kind of fragrance is not simply a strange scent that can be smelled by the nose, but is similar to the charm of the Tao. To the Tao soul, it is like the attraction of the Tao principles that are in line with itself.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the hook was thrown down, a five-foot-long fish was caught. The fish was red all over, and its belly seemed to be burning with flames. It was the Fire Dao Soul.
A year ago, Gu Yuanqing had refined a top-grade Xuan-grade water Dao soul, so his comprehension of the Dao of Water was far superior to others. This time, he came here naturally to make up for the deficiencies in his comprehension of other Dao essences.
Only in this way can one balance the various Dao essences in one's own virtual world in order to achieve perfect harmony.
Before coming, he considered the order in which he should comprehend the Tao's essence, considering the Yin-Yang and Five Elements as well as his own situation.
If it were someone else, even if they had this idea, it would be difficult to put it into practice. Not to mention that Tao souls are difficult to fish for, as they are only interested in baits that match their own Tao essence.
For example, cultivators who are proficient in the way of water will use the bait condensed from their own Tao essence to fish. The most caught are water Tao souls. However, if they want to fish for earth Tao souls, it is almost impossible even if they buy Tao bait from the Huanling Sect, because the bought Tao bait must always be stimulated by one's own Tao.
Perhaps the only way is to trade in the market.
But Gu Yuanqing has no such worries. He has the ability to observe mountains and has dabbled in all kinds of Taoism. When fishing, he only needs to change the bait according to his needs!
After refining this fire-type Tao soul, Gu Yuanqing opened his eyes and then sensed the changes in himself.
"The Yellow Rank Dao Soul has limited influence on my consciousness, but with the previous experience as a lesson, I should still be more careful. At most, I will go out of the ancient world once every month or so, drink Red Dust Wine to eliminate hidden dangers, and precipitate Dao essence."
As he was thinking about it, suddenly his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a ray of light flying in the air, flowing down along the Wuliang River, and a divine thought was sweeping towards him.
