Chapter 652: White Bone Mountain, White Bone Demon

Chapter 652: White Bone Mountain, White Bone Demon (Two in One)

There is no sun or moon in Dongxuan Mountain, but there are four seasons and differences between day and night.

Before dark, Li Yuan had his first meal after joining the sect. The rice was the 'Chiyuan rice' he had seen before, each grain was plump and had a unique aroma.

The dish is 'Dragon Horn Deer' meat fried with 'Green Jade Bamboo Shoots'.

These three are the most common ingredients in Dongxuan Mountain. Although they are low-grade spiritual foods, they are cultivated with the secret methods of Dongxuan Mountain and are no worse than the mid-to-high-grade spiritual foods in other domains.

It tastes great, is very filling, and is cheap.

"The benefits of being a disciple are really good."

Smelling the aroma of the spiritual food, Li Yuan's appetite was whetted.

He immediately picked up the bowl and chopsticks to taste it, and found that the taste was excellent, not inferior to the fine dishes he had eaten in the capital city of God before. Moreover, a strong current of heat spread from his abdomen to his whole body, as if he had taken a fine elixir.

Li Yi was serving on the side, and couldn't help but smile when she saw Li Yuan eating so happily. She was a waitress-like spirit puppet, so she was naturally satisfied to see that her food was popular.

"This spiritual power is quite sufficient, equivalent to one seventh of a Dragon Tiger Pill. This is just the low-grade spiritual food from Dongxuan Mountain..."

After cleaning up the food, Li Yuan wiped his mouth with satisfaction, secretly shocked.

He has a huge appetite, especially after all the elements entered his blood. Without the nourishment of the elixir, it would be easy for him to eat several cows in one meal.

But now, after eating a bowl of rice and two dishes of vegetables, he actually felt a little full. This shows how effective this spiritual food is.

"Master, do you want more bowls?"

Li Yi bowed and asked.

"No need."

Li Yuan put down his bowl and chopsticks. The heat from the spiritual food spread throughout his body and even to his Niwan. He actually felt a little tipsy but did not forget to admire:
“You have excellent craftsmanship.”

"As long as the master likes it."

Li Yi smiled and introduced to him: "Master, these three spiritual food combinations are listed in the 'Spiritual Diet'."

"Spiritual diet recipe?"

Li Yuan was a little curious.

He has only been learning for one day, and even though he has read some books, his understanding of Dongxuan Mountain is probably not as good as Lingkui Li Yi.

"The spiritual diet recipe lists more than 86,000 kinds of spiritual diets, each of which is made from a combination of multiple spiritual ingredients. Not only does it taste great, it also has a variety of functions."

Li Yixinran introduced:

"For example, this 'Red Deer Meal', the red rice nourishes the body, the dragon-horned deer contains blood, and the jade bamboo shoots nourish the soul. If the three are combined and the heat is controlled, it will nourish the body, soul, and strengthen the qi and blood vitality!"

"Eighty-six thousand?!"

Li Yuan, who had just tasted the Red Deer Meal, had his eyes light up: "How many kinds do you know?"

He was not a gourmet, but of course he was happy to eat good food, especially since this spiritual food had effects comparable to elixirs.

"Master, I know how to cook 29 kinds of spiritual food."

Li Yi obviously really loves Lingshan. When listening to Li Yuan's question, he was so excited that the latter couldn't help but be a little surprised. Not to mention the spiritual puppets of Dongxuan Mountain, the anthropomorphism is simply too extreme.

If he weren't the master of Li Yi, it wouldn't be clear from her appearance, words and actions that she was a spirit puppet.

"Red Deer Meal is the most common spiritual meal and also the cheapest. Some disciples who are short of money usually eat this."

"..."

Li Yuan retracted his evaluation. This spirit puppet was still not human-like enough, so he couldn't say such hurtful words.

However, he had to admit that the price-performance ratio of the Red Deer Meal was extremely high.

This 1,500 kilograms of red Yuan Ling rice is only a small reward, and there is also a free 100 kilograms of dragon horn venison and 300 kilograms of green jade bamboo shoots. Even with his appetite, it is enough to last him for half a year.

A disciple can receive twelve minor merits a year, which is obviously more than enough for food and drink and to feed these eleven spirit puppets.

Seeing that Li Yuan stopped asking questions, Li Yi packed up his dishes and left the bamboo building reluctantly. During the time when Li Yuan was meditating and reading, two two-story buildings were built outside the bamboo building. These were the residences of the spirit puppets.

"Whoo~"

Still feeling slightly tipsy from the spiritual meal, Li Yuan pushed the door open and walked out.

It was already night in the small cave heaven assigned to him. Although there was no sun or moon, he could still see stars when he looked up. Having read the three introductory books, he knew that those were the other small cave heavens contained in Dongxuan Mountain.

Further down the mountain is a different dimension that Daojun opened up from the depths of Guixu. It can be entered and exited through a domain gate. It is the trial ground for the disciples of Dongxuan Mountain.

Under the shining starlight, Li Yi and Li Er led the other spirit puppets to work hard. The spirit puppets did not need sleep or practice, and they did not need to rest unless their hearts were exhausted.

Li Yuan tilted his ear slightly and could still hear the cries of mice in the distant forest. These little creatures were very smart and wild.

“This is a treasure land for cultivation!”

Li Yuan admired sincerely and felt very satisfied.

The treatment of disciples in Dongxuan Mountain is better than he expected. As soon as they enter the sect, they will receive a hundred-year salary, which means that new disciples do not need to worry about the resources for practice, at least in the short term.

If one plans well, using this hundred-year salary as a foundation, one can even build a business to support one's own practice.

"It's still early, so I can go get some Taoist soldiers and spirit beasts."

Li Yuan had an idea in his mind.

He was extremely interested in the spiritual beasts of Dongxuan Mountain. It was possible that the flesh and blood of the spiritual beasts he needed to open the fourth talisman would fall in the 'Spiritual Beast Area'!
Woo~
He walked out of his own little cave.

Li Yuan is located at the 333rd step of Dongxuan Mountain, which belongs to the "Disciple Area", similar to the Dongtian Area, with dozens of steps below the thousand steps.

The largest is the Spirit Field Area, which has one hundred levels, followed by the Spirit Puppet Area, the Taoist Soldier Area, and the Spirit Beast Area. Most of these are the foundations of current or previous generations of disciples.

These are all mentioned in the three introductory books.

"The Dao Soldiers Area is from the 420th to the 460th step. The types of Dao Soldiers produced are related to the Dao Soldiers' Skills learned by their masters. New disciples can choose any team from them..."

Li Yuan had something in mind, so he walked towards the military area.

The Taoist soldiers are divided into two areas, the upper and lower areas. Needless to say, there are forty Taoist soldier caves below the 500th level, and there are at least a hundred kinds of Taoist soldiers.

"Different from the weak spirit puppets, Dao soldiers are Dao-protecting soldiers who are truly good at killing. To cultivate Dao soldiers, one needs to practice various Dao soldier techniques, such as the [White Bone Dao soldier technique] in the three books of disciples. Dao soldiers cultivated with this technique are called White Bone Dao soldiers..."

Li Yuan walked neither slowly nor slowly, recalling the conversation with Lingshu Boy.

He attached great importance to the words of the boy under the seat of the Taoist Lord. According to the boy's meaning, the first thing to consider when selecting Taoist soldiers is not the type of Taoist soldiers, but who trained the Taoist soldiers.

The level of Taoist military practice determines the potential of Taoist soldiers to a certain extent.

"Four hundred and forty-four steps..."

Li Yuan silently counted the steps, and soon he arrived at the 440-level small cave recommended by Lingshu Boy.

"New disciple Li Yuan, come and receive the Taoist soldiers!"

Li Yuan took out the disciple's order and gently pressed it. A white light rose from the steps and turned into a stream of light in a flash. A voice came from it:
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Li, please come in!"

"Ok?"

Li Yuan's heart was slightly moved. There were actually fellow disciples here:
"Thank you, senior brother."

With thoughts turning in his mind, Li Yuan stepped into the door.

hum~
The light and shadow flashed and disappeared.

Li Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he looked up. It was a grayish-white cave. Everywhere he looked was white, and the mountains and rivers looked like they were made of bones.

His eyesight was very good and he could even see the texture of the bones on the mountains of bones, which was daunting.

"I just heard that there is a new disciple, but I didn't expect Junior Brother Li to come so quickly. I am so sorry for being so rude!"

A voice sounded in the gray-white mist, and a tall and thin Taoist in a white robe and a white crown walked out of the void and bowed to Li Yuan.

"You are too polite, Senior Brother. I came here in a hurry."

Li Yuan hurriedly returned the greeting: "What's your name, Senior Brother?"

"My common name is Li Xuanyong."

The tall and thin Taoist took a look at Li Yuan and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

The realm of this new junior brother was so low that it was shocking. If he hadn't decided to go and greet him in person on a whim, he would have been devoured by the Taoist soldiers he raised.

"Meet Senior Brother Li."

Li Yuan could feel the captivating aura of the tall and thin Taoist in front of him, but his heart was no longer disturbed. The disciples of this generation of Dongxuan Mountain had entered the mountain at least three hundred years earlier than him, so it was natural that they had higher cultivation levels.

"Junior Brother Li, you..."

Li Xuanyong was about to wave his hand and say "You don't have to be so polite" when he suddenly saw the big words "Enter the room" on the disciple's order on his waist, and his face trembled immediately:
"Junior Brother Li is actually an inner disciple?!"

"It's my brother who neglected me!"

Li Xuanyong saluted again, this time with the full salute.

"Brother, you're welcome."

Li Yuan caught a glimpse of the word "nominal" on his waist badge, but his expression did not change and he still returned the greeting.

Seeing that Li Yuan's attitude did not change, Li Xuan smiled even more and led him into the mountain:
"Junior brother, there are three kinds of Taoist soldiers in this 'Bone Mountain' that I am guarding, namely 'Bone Demon', 'Bone Black Armor Warrior' and 'Bone Sword'. Did you decide which one you want to choose before you came?"

"Junior brother, I heard that the Skeleton Demons can gather and disperse invisibly, and can be any size you want. They are the best among the Taoist soldiers of the same level, so I want a team of Skeleton Demons."

Li Yuan followed him into the mountain, and looked at this small cave of bones with his peripheral vision.

Lingshu Boy only mentioned a few words about Taoist soldiers, but he was deeply impressed because Lingshu Boy vaguely mentioned the owner of this small cave of white bones.

Taoist Tongqian!

When he first started, he didn't know the meaning of this name, but after reading hundreds of books, he roughly knew who this person was.

The book "The True Transmission Path of Dongxuan Disciples" mentioned that there are twelve characters in Tianyu Daojun's school, namely [Floating Mysterious and Wonderful Clearness, Void and Quiet True Harmony, and Wisdom and Perfection].

The Taoist names of Tianyu Daojun's disciples are ranked according to their seniority, in cycles of twelve, and now it is the turn of the character "Fu".

Taoist Tongqian is a true disciple of the previous generation!

"The Skeleton Demon?"

Li Xuan looked at Li Yuan thoughtfully, and understood in his heart that there must be someone behind this junior brother with a very low realm.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to come here and lead the White Bone Taoist soldiers on my first day of initiation...

…Both of them walked quickly and talked all the way, and before long, they had arrived at the foot of a mountain of white bones.

From a distance, the piles of bones on this mountain look like a giant crawling beast. Upon closer inspection, you will realize that these are indeed the skulls left by a giant beast, and they are already a top-grade divine treasure!
[Bone Demon Mountain (Level 14)]

[…This treasure originally belonged to Taoist Tongqian, a disciple of Dongxuan Mountain. He hunted down the remains of an evil god and used it as a sacrifice to refine a quasi-sixth-level white-bone human demon. After it was destroyed, he was reluctant to part with it, so he turned the white-bone human demon into the Human Demon Mountain, left it in the center of his former disciples, and hired people to refine it and nurture it…]

[Control condition one:? ? ? 】

[Imperial Divine Prohibition: ???]

The remains of a quasi-sixth-level skeleton demon!

Li Yuan looked normal, but his heart skipped a beat. Lingshu boy was truly his benefactor.

Before he came, he had also read the book [White Bone Taoist Military Strategy] and had some understanding of the White Bone Taoist Soldiers. The potential of the White Bone Demon Taoist Soldiers bred by the quasi-sixth-level White Bone Demon is naturally far beyond ordinary comparisons!
Woohoo~
The ferocious skull of the giant beast was as huge as a mountain. From the mouth of the giant beast, Li Yuan could vaguely see the interweaving and flowing of dark white light, among which he could vaguely see a number of white skeleton demons.

"Brother, you should know what this is, right?"

Li Xuanyong suddenly asked.

"Nature knows."

Li Yuan could vaguely guess what Li Xuan was thinking. He was probably testing whether someone had directed him to come here, or if he had just chosen this place by luck. He immediately replied calmly:
"Who doesn't know about Senior Brother Tong Qian's Skeleton Demon?"

"Since you know, I won't hide it from you."

Li Xuanyong smiled and said, "This Human Demon Mountain was originally Senior Brother Tongqian's white bone Taoist soldier. It was damaged due to a calamity, and Senior Brother couldn't bear to abandon it, so he sacrificed it as a divine treasure and hired me to come here to sacrifice and cultivate it..."

Li Yuan nodded, as if he already knew it.

"Brother Tongqian and his ilk have no intention of training and selling Dao soldiers, but the sect rules are here, so every ten years a team of Dao soldiers will be produced. As a new disciple, I have the right to receive them first..."

Li Xuan smiled gently, but he felt a little pain in his heart.

He took on this tough job of refining the divine treasure, not only because Taoist Tongqian was generous, but also because he could buy these Taoist soldier towers first. Now that he had to give up one team, he felt really reluctant.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Li Yuan was a man of insight and could guess most of what was going on, so he naturally bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome, Junior Brother."

Li Xuanyong was obviously quite pleased with this and immediately waved his hand.

There was a buzzing sound coming from the skull of the giant beast, and then twelve white skeletons of demonic Taoists with symmetrical skeletons walked out.

"Good Taoist soldier!"

Li Yuan clapped his hands in praise.

The bones of these twelve Taoist skeleton soldiers were full, and the white was tinged with silver. He concentrated his mind and could faintly see the divine prohibitions flowing in the bodies of this team of Taoist soldiers.

They are indeed all top quality!

"Come!"

Li Xuan waved his hand again, and the Taoist soldiers trembled. After a few "cracking" sounds of bones rubbing against each other, they turned into a string of bone bracelets that fell into his hands.

"Junior brother, these twelve white bone Taoist soldiers were nurtured by the White Bone Demon Mountain. They are only lacking in fierce and evil aura because the bones used are from the captive spirit beasts in the mountain. However, they are still top-notch among the same rank."

Li Xuan touched the bone chain reluctantly, handed it to Li Yuan, asked him to drip his blood to recognize the master, and then instructed:

"This Skeleton Demon does not need flesh and blood, but it must eat a full meal of animal bones of the first level every month. However, if Junior Brother wants to cultivate and upgrade it, he must be fed with high-level bones to nourish the divine prohibition in his body."

"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice."

Li Yuan reached out and took the bracelet. It was cool to the touch and had a smooth and round texture.

Although it is a Taoist weapon made of bones, it is as delicate and crystal as jade. When it is gently turned, there is a 'cracking' sound from the friction of bones.

Li Xuan looked away and glanced at the disciple certificate on Li Yuan's waist. He felt better.
"Brother, are you ready to eat? If you haven't eaten before, why not go sit with me?"

"I have already used it before leaving. I will bother you again next time."

Li Yuan gently turned the bone chain in his hand, politely declined and said goodbye.

Li Xuanyong sent him to the entrance of the cave, and suddenly remembered something:

"Junior brother, if you want to get the spirit beast, it's best to go tomorrow during the day. In most spirit beast caves at night, the spirit beasts are free-range..."

"Thank you, senior brother, for the tip."

Li Yuan nodded in thanks, he naturally knew it.

In fact, this was also the reason why he was in a hurry to lead this team of Taoist soldiers. With his realm, he would not dare to enter many small caves in Dongxuan Mountain without the protection of Taoist soldiers.

After thanking Li Xuanyong, Li Yuan turned and left.

……

"The Skeleton Demon."

In the small courtyard of the bamboo building, Li Yuan gently picked up the bone chain. With two "clicks", the bone chain turned into twelve white skeleton demons about ten feet tall, standing in threes, with the same aura.

"According to the 'White Bone Dao Military Strategy', there are three kinds of divine prohibitions in the body of the White Bone Demon, the 'bone evil' and 'evil evil' of the Earthly Evil level, and the 'Ruyi' of the Heavenly Evil level..."

Li Yuan looked at this team of Taoist soldiers, and at the same time, he multitasked by flipping through and studying the White Bone Taoist Military Strategy.

Not only the Skeleton Demon, but most of the Taoist soldiers have only the three lowest divine prohibitions in their bodies. The reason for this is that the lowest divine prohibitions are the easiest to cultivate and upgrade.

As for the strength of the Taoist soldiers, it naturally depends on their numbers.

For example, a single Skeleton Demon has only three kinds of divine bans, and even a cultivator of the same level with lower-grade magic power can easily kill it. However, if twelve Skeleton Demons work together, they can kill the former.

"The Taoist soldiers in the Taoist Soldier Tower of the Eight Directions Temple should be the same. The more they are, the stronger they are. I was able to reach the thirty-sixth floor that year because my realm was too low at that time, so low that those Taoist soldiers couldn't even use the divine prohibition..."

As Li Yuan flipped through the White Bone Sect's Art of War, various thoughts kept emerging in his mind.

Even though this book of Taoist military tactics was distributed free of charge to all the disciples who attended the class, it was actually not simple. The various contents concerning the divine patterns and divine prohibitions in it also made him feel enlightened.

Taoist soldiers of the same origin will have a great deal of power when activating the same divine prohibition. If they can be integrated into a formation, their power can be greatly increased, such as the 'White Bone Demon Forbidden Formation' mentioned in this book of Taoist military tactics.

[…In the past, in Daluo Heaven, the Lord of White Bone Mountain, White Bone Taoist, formed the 'White Bone Forbidden Demon Formation' with his 800 million white bone Taoist soldiers, and killed the Blood Sea Taoist of 'Nether Heaven'…]

"Could it be possible that this White Bone Dao Military Strategy originated from the White Bone Dao Master in White Bone Mountain?"

Li Yuan changed his mind and felt that it was unlikely.

The Taoist Master Bai Gu is one of the three great killing gods in Daluo Heaven and has a great reputation. If it is related to him, how could the rank of the Taoist military tactics of Bai Gu be only at the level of "法"?

"But this team of Taoist soldiers does have great potential. If they have enough bones, they may be able to advance to the fifth realm!"

With a wave of his hand, he turned the team of skeleton demons into bone chains again. Li Yuan felt fascinated and couldn't help but calculate how much bone material was needed for this team of skeleton demons to advance to the second level.

Call ~
Li Yuan stood up and without moving a muscle, he had reached the edge of the cliff.

Prepare to try to mobilize the Skeleton Demon.

"Before you cultivate your magical power, only Taoist soldiers can use it freely."

Glancing at the robe on his body, Li Yuan's mind moved, and he heard a "boom" like thunder. The twelve white-skeletal demons had already jumped out dozens of miles away, leaving deep marks in the night.

boom!
Li Yuan concentrated his mind and became familiar with the usage of this team of Taoist soldiers.

There were only bursts of roars, and the twelve white-skeletal demons walked in the air, swiftly and nimbly, ferociously and violently, following Li Yuan's command, and even performing a series of punches, palms and kicks!
"Any Taoist soldier only has three kinds of divine prohibitions at the beginning. If you want to increase the means, you need to spend mana and mind to pick the corresponding divine patterns to transform into prohibitions, and then refine them into each Taoist soldier..."

"But martial arts are not included in this list. With my help, I can perform martial arts remotely and fight with martial arts!"

Li Yuan's mental strength far exceeds that of his peers. Even without using the five senses set, with his essence and blood as a guide, he can control the skeleton demon as easily as his own arms within a hundred miles.

Following his mind, he performed a series of martial arts very smoothly, from the White Ape Cloak Hammer to the Dragon-Tiger Hun Tian Hammer. Although not as good as the one he performed personally, it was definitely not inferior to the other masters in Dayun Jianghu!

"call out!"

Li Yuan's mind moved again, and the twelve white skeleton demons trembled violently. In the blink of an eye, they collapsed and shrank into a bunch of dark white ancient swords.

Under his urging, they flew back and forth, practicing various sword techniques, and because the Skeleton Demons had the same origin, they could even cooperate with each other and perform a combined sword formation!

call!
After a moment, the twelve flying bone swords flew back to the edge of the cliff.

Li Yuan was a little tired due to the consumption of mental energy, but his eyes were bright. The bones of the skeleton man were like black steel and difficult to be injured by swords. They were one in mind and very useful.

“If we can refine this Skeleton Demon to the second level, it will be safer to go down the mountain to pick the divine runes.”

Li Yuan was very satisfied.

Among the one hundred books he had borrowed before, there were some about picking the magical patterns of wonders, and there were also many ways for Dongxuan disciples to pick the magical patterns.

Or you can go down the mountain. Dongxuan Mountain is vast and broad, in no way inferior to any other realm, and it has all kinds of wonders and divine patterns.

Or go to another dimension, where there are all kinds of wonders and even some extremely rare and high-quality divine patterns.

In addition, you can go to other starry sky realms through the domain gate.

In this regard, Li Yuan naturally prefers Dongxuan Mountain.

……

“It’s so hard to break through!”

Inside the Mirage Dragon Whip, the little female dragon looked at her incomplete divine realm and couldn't help feeling sad.

For several years, she was almost immersed in repairing the divine realm, but her body was no longer complete, and it was extremely difficult to repair the divine realm.

"Unless I rebuild my body, there is no way to repair my divine realm..."

The little dragoness thought about how to persuade the boy to go to Tianshiyuan, and slowly opened her eyes:
"Lee... huh?!"

The little dragoness's voice suddenly stopped, and she looked around in some doubt:

"here it is……"

The little female dragon was shocked.

The Mirage Dragon Clan is extremely sensitive to the aura of the boundary space. The moment she opened her eyes, she felt the terrifying aura of the intersection of the boundaries.

This is definitely not good luck!

"you're awake?"

Li Yuan opened his eyes at the right time:
"This is Dongxuan Mountain."
