Chapter 248 253, Ouyang Feng's Mountain Guardian Spiritual Beast With the help of "Invisibility", one of the 72 Earthly Fiends, Ouyang Feng's figure and breath were completely hidden and disappeared. Even though he passed by in front of the patrolling monsters in a swaggering manner, those patrolling monsters were completely unaware. He had a smooth journey and arrived at the main entrance of the Taoist temple on the mountainside. He saw that the door of the temple was wide open. Several little demons who were dressed in Taoist robes but had not yet fully transformed and still had various animal features were sweeping the temple inside and outside. Inside the main hall of the Taoist temple, a middle-aged Taoist was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his eyes closed, meditating in front of the statues of the Three Pure Ones. This Taoist had a deep aura and abundant blood. As soon as Ouyang Feng saw him, he knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person. "Ling Xuzi? This wolf demon is indeed not weak..." Of course, just by feeling his aura, one can only judge that he has a strong physique and profound cultivation. As for his actual combat level, one still has to fight him to know. After all, not every monster is like the Black Bear Demon, who can fight Monkey King with martial arts. There are also those who have profound cultivation but are novices in actual combat. They can only rely on their cultivation to bully the weak, and if they encounter a tough opponent, they will not be able to fight so effectively. They will never be able to defeat the strong with the weak in their entire life, such as Xu Fu in the Fengyun world. However, Ouyang Feng's trip was only for alchemy and the alchemy furnace, so there was no need to create unnecessary trouble, so he went straight around the main hall and headed towards the backyard of the Taoist temple.
From beginning to end, the meditating middle-aged Taoist priest did not notice Ouyang Feng who was in the invisible state. After searching the backyard of the Taoist temple, nothing valuable was found. After pondering for a while, Ouyang Feng slowly released his spiritual sense, avoided the main hall in front, and carefully explored with his spiritual sense. After a while, he found a secret passage mechanism in the study. He did not activate the mechanism immediately. He first used the "array" technique in the study to set up a ban that could eliminate any sound or movement, and then he began to try to open the secret passage. When he turned the mechanism hub and opened the entrance to the secret passage, there was indeed a sound of mechanism in the study, and the essence of heaven and earth also began to flow abnormally. If the prohibition had not been set up in advance, the wolf demon would have noticed it. After the entrance to the secret passage was opened, Ouyang Feng stood by the study door and waited for a while. Seeing that the wolf demon did not come to check, he stepped into the entrance of the secret passage. After walking down the stairs for more than ten steps from the entrance of the secret passage, you will come to a stone corridor. After walking along the corridor for a while, you will see a bronze door in front of you. On both sides of the bronze door, there is a small door on the left and right corridor walls. Ouyang Feng walked to the small door on the left, and after a quick scan with his spiritual sense, he found no mechanisms or traps, so he pushed the door open and walked in. He saw a desk and two wooden shelves in the room behind the door. There were two scrolls on the table and some jade bottles and gourds on the wooden shelf. Ouyang Feng first checked the jade bottles and gourds, opened the stoppers, smelled the odor, felt the energy, and figured out that what was contained inside were elixirs that could replenish qi and strengthen the body. Although they were not magical elixirs, they were of great benefit to spiritual practice. He immediately put them all in his pocket without hesitation. He put away the pills and went to the table, picked up a scroll and unfolded it. He saw that the scroll was woven with some kind of light golden thread, and it recorded various alchemy techniques and many pill recipes. Ouyang Feng was delighted. He put the scroll away, then picked up another scroll and unfolded it. He saw that this scroll recorded the methods of identifying, finding and even cultivating various alchemy materials. “It’s also practical.” Ouyang Feng muttered to himself, put away the scroll, left the room, opened the small door opposite and went in. He saw that the room was filled with all kinds of materials, including rare flowers and plants, various gold, stone, minerals, animal materials, and some liquids with different properties. Ouyang Feng was too lazy to identify them one by one. With a wave of his hand, he put all the materials in the room into the storage talisman. Afterwards, he came to the big bronze door, raised his hand and pushed it open, and saw a natural cave behind the door. The cave was extremely hot, with a hole in the middle. A red light was faintly visible in the hole, and on top stood a huge alchemy furnace that was nine feet high. Even without spiritual perception, the naked eye can see the flickering light above the alchemy furnace, which is obviously not an ordinary item. Ouyang Feng smiled silently, walked forward, raised his hand and gently stroked the alchemy furnace, then looked at the cave under the furnace, and saw lava surging in the depths of the cave, and the walls were engraved with strange talismans. He knew that this wolf demon was using the earth's fire to refine the elixir. "Does this alchemy furnace need to be activated by the lava fire? I will set it up accordingly after I return."
There was no shortage of similar environments in his paradise. The volcanic dragon's nest could attract the lava and underground fire. He then used the Tongtian Baojian to record the specifications of the cave and the talismans on the four walls. Then he waved his hand and put the alchemy furnace into the storage talisman. As soon as the alchemy furnace was put away, the entire cave shook violently, and then a sharp and piercing wolf howl was heard, followed by the roof of the cave collapsing, revealing daylight. As the light from outside shone in, a huge wolf head with gray and white hair and the size of a water tank poked in from the collapsed part of the cave ceiling. It stared with a pair of fierce wolf eyes and roared: "Who is it? How dare you steal my Ling Xuzi's alchemy furnace!" Amid the roar, violent demonic energy surged into the cave, sweeping and whistling like a gale. The cave was filled with mud and rocks rolling and dust flying everywhere. With just this one move, Ouyang Feng was exposed. He just became invisible and concealed his breath, but he did not really turn into air. His body still existed. When the evil spirit and mud and dust filled the entire cave, although no one could be seen, the outline of the human figure that was not stained by the dust suddenly became very conspicuous. Sensing Ouyang Feng's location, the giant wolf opened its wolf mouth and bit him without saying a word. Ouyang Feng sighed helplessly, revealed his figure, and activated the "light-generating" magic. Under the shining divine light, the evil spirit in the cave instantly melted away like boiling water poured on snow. The giant wolf's eyes blurred and it temporarily lost its vision. At the same time, its chest felt suffocated, as if it was weighed down by some invisible pressure. The magical skill of “Shengguang” has the characteristics of breaking all laws and making it difficult for evil spirits to approach. With Ouyang Feng's current cultivation level, any small demon would be exposed to his true form immediately after being illuminated by the Shengguang technique, with his bones and muscles numb and his whole body powerless, and could only be slaughtered. Ordinary evil spirits would be shattered on the spot. The wolf demon Ling Xuzi was also considered a great demon, with a strong physique and profound cultivation. After being illuminated by the strange art of life light, he did not lose his fighting power. He just felt dazzled for a moment, and it was difficult for him to cast magic, and his movements became slow. Just as its biting action slowed down, Ouyang Feng's body flashed with golden light, and he transformed into a six-foot-tall Dharma image. At the same time, he raised his giant palm and pushed it horizontally, hitting the wolf's head hard. The wolf's head, which was as big as a water tank, was suddenly blown up and retreated out of the hole in the top of the cave. Ouyang Feng took advantage of the situation and soared into the sky, jumped out of the cave, and slapped the wolf monster again. Bang! With a loud bang, the huge wolf demon's white hair flew apart. It staggered backward and let out a painful whimper from its throat. Although he didn't use any special moves, the wolf demon took two palm strikes from Ouyang Feng's Dharma state, but it only lost some hair and felt pain, without any broken bones. It showed that its physique was extremely strong. After repelling the wolf demon with two palms, Ouyang Feng had no intention of fighting again, so as not to alarm the black bear demon thirty miles away. He immediately flashed, retracted his Dharma image, and flew out of the mountain. The wolf demon was hurt by Ouyang Feng and couldn't figure out his strength, so it didn't chase him for a while. It could see that the opponent was flying farther and farther away. The more it thought about it, the angrier it got. It roared again and rode on the demonic wind to chase after him. Seeing the wolf demon chasing him, Ouyang Feng intentionally led it to fly away from Black Wind Mountain, while paying close attention to the movements of Black Wind Mountain. After flying hundreds of miles in one breath and not seeing any movement from the Black Wind Mountain, Ouyang Feng felt relieved. He flew a few hundred miles more and caught a glimpse of an empty wilderness. He then fell onto the wilderness and looked at the chasing wolf demon with his hands behind his back. Seeing that he looked confident, the wolf demon suspected that there was an ambush here, so he quickly stopped the evil wind, poked his head out of the air to look around and sniff for a while, and confirmed that there was no ambush. Then he fell to the ground and transformed into a middle-aged Taoist priest, holding a long knife shaped like wolf teeth in his hand, pointing at Ouyang Feng and angrily said: "Return the alchemy furnace to me, and I will give you a quick death!" "You can use a knife?" Ouyang Feng asked curiously, "Is this knife made from your wolf fang?" Ling Xuzi said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense to me! Are you going to return the alchemy furnace or not?" Ouyang Feng smiled and said: "What I did today was indeed not very honest. After all, in the past, I usually robbed the things I set my eyes on, but this is the first time I have ever stolen anything. To express my apology, I decided to save your life." "What?" Ling Xuzi was startled: "What do you mean?" "In a few years, you will encounter a murder." Ouyang Feng said calmly: "I have seen your mountain and cave, and there are no resentful ghosts or human corpses. I think you are a serious alchemist and not a man-eating monster. In this case, I don't mind capturing you to be a mountain guardian beast and alchemist, which can also help you resolve the killing calamity."
"Ridiculous!" Ling Xuzi laughed in anger, "I am just practicing Taoism and have not offended anyone, so how can there be a disaster? You little thief, it's bad enough that you stole my alchemy furnace, but you are so shameless that you want to arrest me to guard the mountain and make alchemy... Prepare your life!" As he spoke, he leaped up, raised his sword and swung it, creating an extremely sharp blade that chopped down Ouyang Feng on the head. The sound of this sword strike was ferocious, but it lacked any artistic conception, and the moves were even more mediocre. He swung the sword purely relying on his cultivation and brute force. His swordsmanship was so poor that it was only of a low-level level even in the low-level martial arts world. Of course, the power is indeed strong enough, and it is no problem to break the city wall with one blow. "It seems like he is really a monster who only knows how to practice. He has a strong body and skills, but no good skills." Ouyang Feng smiled and was too lazy to use the Blood-Drinking Demon Sword. He just took out the Snowflake Iron Sword and swung it with his backhand. A blade light like a white dragon rushed up, knocking Ling Xuzi's long sword off with a clang, and then slashed Ling Xuzi's chest and abdomen fiercely, cutting his skin and flesh, bleeding and sending him flying backwards in the air. After transforming into a human form, Ling Xuzi became more flexible and able to use weapons, but his physical defense was greatly reduced. But even so, Ouyang Feng's sword only cut through a layer of his flesh and failed to rip open his stomach. Of course, this is also because he used a snowflake iron knife. If he had used the Blood Drinking Sword, Ling Xuzi would have been cut in half with this one strike. Ling Xuzi, who was chopped away, screamed in pain, with a hint of panic in his eyes. He did not expect that the human cultivator's swordsmanship was so sharp. When he changed back to his original form before, he was knocked back by the opponent's two palms. Now that he turned into a human form and fought with martial arts, he couldn't even withstand a single move from the opponent. Ling Xuzi felt very regretful and realized that he had made a big mistake in chasing him. He transformed back to his original form in mid-air, and the injuries on his chest and abdomen healed quickly. At the same time, his four claws generated a magical wind, and he was about to ride the wind to escape. But Ouyang Feng deliberately led him here, so how could he let him escape? There was a flash of golden light on his body, and he transformed into a six-foot-tall Dharma body again. After that, the golden body changed and evolved into thunder. Suddenly, bright electric light burst out from his body, and he turned into a giant whose whole body seemed to be made of thunder. His Dharma form has many changes, and he has demonstrated various changes such as ice crystals, flames, and thunder in front of Lian Xing. However, the golden armor Dharma phase is the most stable to control, followed by the ice crystal Dharma phase. The Dharma phases of energy states such as fire and thunder are the most unstable. Not only are they difficult to control, they also consume a lot of energy. Of course, it’s okay to use it occasionally. After transforming into the form of Thunder Dharmakāya, Ouyang Feng took just one step forward. Amid the roar of thunder, the six-foot-tall Dharmakāya soared into the sky and turned into a real lightning, leaving a bright trail of lightning in the air. In just a blink of an eye, he caught up with the wolf demon that had already flown a thousand feet away. He transformed himself into a golden-armored Dharma image above the wolf demon's head, and sent down an infinite force field to suppress the wolf demon's head. He then pointed one point and shouted, "Stop!" The wolf demon that was flying on the wind suddenly froze, and fell headfirst to the ground, creating a big hole in the ground. Ouyang Feng also landed, and stood in front of the wolf demon with his six-foot-tall image. He performed the "great strength" technique, and with his divine power doubled, he spread out the five fingers of his giant palm and pressed down on the wolf demon's forehead, gently pressing down. The wolf demon's head, which was as big as a water tank, was pressed close to the ground and kept sinking into the mud. The wolf demon growled incessantly, dug its teeth with its limbs, and struggled hard, but it felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on its head, and it could not break free no matter how hard it tried. Seeing that his entire head was about to be buried in the ground, his skull was in great pain and it felt like it was about to be split, and his neck seemed to be broken, the wolf demon could only summon up his demonic energy and beg for mercy: "Please spare my life, Immortal! I surrender! I will use the alchemy furnace as my filial gift to you. Please spare my life, Immortal, for I have never killed any mortals and have practiced cultivation!" Ouyang Feng temporarily stopped applying pressure, but did not withdraw his palm. He said calmly: "My cave is still in need of a mountain-guarding spirit beast. Although you are not good at fighting, your strength and physique are not bad, and you know how to make pills... Are you willing to serve me, guard the mountain and make pills for me?" Of course Ling Xuzi was unwilling. Guarding a mountain for someone else, even if it's for an immortal, how can it be as free and easy as being a mountain king? But the situation is stronger than the people.
This immortal was much more powerful than him. If he were to serve in the Heavenly Court, he might be able to become a general commanding thousands of soldiers. How could Ling Xuzi dare to refuse such a powerful figure? He immediately said: "I am willing to serve you as my master and guard the mountain for you!" "Very good. But to prevent you from changing your mind, I have to put a ban on you." As he spoke, he spread out his left hand, and the essence of heaven and earth surged in, turning into a few thin ice crystals in the blink of an eye. The "Life and Death Talisman" was originally an ordinary hidden weapon, which had extremely strong restrictive power against mortal warriors, but it was powerless against monsters with powerful blood and profound cultivation. However, the "Life and Death Talisman" refined by Ouyang Feng using his external cultivation and condensing the essence of water is certainly not comparable to the original Life and Death Talisman condensed with ordinary water vapor and wine. Moreover, for each life and death talisman, he attached different proportions of life and death, and yin and yang energies. The complexity of the cycle of life and death, and the changes of yin and yang, was something only he could understand. After refining a few ice talismans, Ouyang Feng raised his hand and injected them into the wolf monster's body, then withdrew his hand and stepped aside. Ling Xuzi only felt a chill on his body at first, and then he felt no more strange sensations. When he was doubting the quality of the other party's "restriction", he suddenly felt a strange itch. In a blink of an eye, his entire body, including his internal organs, every inch of his bones, and every tendon, was in an itch as if thousands of insects were crawling on him and thousands of ants were biting him. "Master, have mercy on me, Master, please have mercy on me!" Ling Xuzi rolled on the ground due to the itch, constantly switching between human and wolf forms, struggling and scratching madly, crying and begging for mercy. Seeing that this upgraded version of the Life and Death Talisman was so effective, Ouyang Feng nodded with satisfaction, pointed a few fingers in the air, suppressed the Life and Death Talisman, and said lightly: "This restriction will occur once every year on this day, and I have to take action personally to suppress it. If you dare to rebel, you will die of itching." "I dare not. I will be loyal and guard the mountain and make elixirs for you!" "I hope you can keep your word. Don't worry, I will only restrict you for a hundred years. After a hundred years, if you don't make any mistakes, I will completely remove this restriction from you." Giving the wolf demon hope, Ouyang Feng summoned the bronze gate and returned to the paradise with the wolf demon, which had transformed into a normal wolfhound size as ordered by him.
