Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

After erasing the words on the wooden sign that you can exchange realm-breaking pills and money for craft weapons, Gu Xing's stall immediately became deserted.

Some people stopped, but after reading the content on the wooden sign, they shook their heads and left.

Some people also offered to exchange other things for the trick weapon, but Gu Xing heard that there was no shortage, so he shook his head and the other party left.

Time passed in Gu Xing's bored eyes.

However, just at dusk, someone came to the stall.

"Mid-grade magic weapon? Assassination? Corrosive power? Can you take a look?"

The person who came was a rugged man, with a burly body and muscular muscles.

Gu Xing raised his head and glanced at him, then pointed at the bone spur and said indifferently.

"Look."

I won’t change it anyway.

He yawned and was already thinking about whether to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

However, the rugged man picked up the bone spur and looked at it carefully over and over again, his face becoming more and more satisfied.

"Very good, you need that phantom water shield, right?"

When Gu Xing heard this, he immediately became energetic and at the same time looked at the rugged man in surprise.

"You have?"

This rugged man doesn't look like someone who can exchange for a phantom water shield.

"I don't have it on hand right now, but I can get it for you. Just keep it for me. I'll be back soon."

"it is good."

Gu Xing was very happy to hear what he said.

After staying in Zhennanguan for so long, I am finally going to get what I want.

So, the rugged man left next, and then came back soon after.

"This is the phantom water shield and phantom water."

The rugged man took out a book and a jade bottle.

Gu Xing took it and started checking it.

The three characters "Huan Shui Shield" on the book were very eye-catching. Gu Xing opened it and read it simply.

It would be difficult to learn just by looking at it once, so the rugged man let Gu Xing check it with confidence.

After confirming that there was no problem, Gu Xing closed the book with satisfaction.

Then he opened the jade bottle again.

The jade bottle was very light and seemed to contain nothing.

But when Gu Xing opened it, he saw half a bottle of colorful water inside.

However, so many colors do not make it look gorgeous, but rather ethereal.

Like bubbles floating in the sun, it gives people a sense of nothingness that is about to burst.

This is phantom water.

A special substance.

After deciding to continue practicing water-based exercises, Gu Xing deliberately read the books recording various special waters in the Taoist Academy.

Like spiritual water, it is the most common type of special water.

And phantom water is very special compared to spiritual water.

According to the classics, phantom water is extracted from dreams.

Gu Xing doesn't know the specific means, but it's certainly not simple.

And this also creates the characteristics of phantom water that seems real and illusory, and seems to be weightless.

This is why the Phantom Water Shield can resist both physical attacks and mental damage.

As for practicing the Phantom Water Shield, the most important thing is this Phantom Water.

After confirming that both items were fine, Gu Xing traded with the rugged man with satisfaction.

And then, the purpose of setting up the stall this time was completed, so Gu Xing immediately closed the stall and went home, returning to the inn.

When he returned to the inn, he naturally began to practice the Phantom Water Shield.

Phantom Water Shield is a top-grade defensive technique, but its physical defense and mental defense are not top-notch.

It's just that its comprehensive defense ability is very good, and Gu Xing also took a fancy to this.

Of course, the most important thing is that this phantom water shield is the most suitable Taoist technique for him on the military merit exchange list.

The difficulty of practicing the phantom water shield is not high, mainly because phantom water is rare.

To practice this Taoist technique, you need to absorb the phantom water into the body, and then merge it with your own true energy to control the phantom water and manipulate it for defense.

And absorbing phantom water is different from spiritual water, it is not drank in one go.

If that's the case, this phantom water is no different from poisonous water.

Of course, to Gu Xing, who has the ability to eat all things, this poison is nothing.

It's just that if you simply eat it, it may increase your physical strength, but it is useless for practicing the Phantom Water Shield.

Absorbing phantom water also requires a special method. This method is recorded in the book and cannot be explained clearly in one sentence.

After Gu Xing studied it carefully, he began to try to absorb the phantom water.

In this attempt, Gu Xing found that it was quite painful.

Just like forcefully stuffing a foreign object into his body, Gu Xing used his true energy to contain it, refined it using a special method, and finally stuffed it directly into his body.

Unlike true qi, true qi can be completely contained anywhere in the body.

As for Huan Shui, it felt like there was something strange in his body from the beginning. After he gained control over it later, this awkward and weird feeling slowly dissipated.

And refining is just the beginning. Later, it needs to be fused with part of its own true energy to achieve the same level of use as using true energy.

Of course, Phantom Water is limited and cannot be used without limit.

However, as long as you can practice this Taoist technique to the extreme, you can generate a source of the combination of phantom water and true energy in your body to achieve an endless cycle.

At this time, as long as the source is not destroyed, the Phantom Water Shield can be used unlimitedly.

Otherwise, every loss would require replenishing the magic water, and Gu Xing would not be able to sustain it.

The money is okay, but the main thing is that this thing is rare and difficult to buy.

Therefore, if he didn't want to have to buy phantom water again after using it a few times, Gu Xing had to practice this Taoist technique to the highest level as soon as possible.

In one night, Gu Xingkan absorbed all the phantom water into his body.

Then, he tried to use the Phantom Water Shield.

Then, a colorful and ethereal thin water shield appeared outside his body, like a layer of bubbles.

Gu Xing briefly tested its strength, and a water arrow condensed around him and shot towards the water shield.

The water arrow, which had reached the level of the inner palace, hit the water shield, but it only made it slightly dented before returning to its original state.

And this was just Gu Xing's intensity when he first started.

Naturally, he was extremely satisfied with this.

Looking at the hazy light outside the window, Gu Xing laughed helplessly, feeling tired.

He yawned and fell into a deep sleep.

……

"You came back alone too?"

The officer guarding the city frowned when he saw the scarred man in front of him.

The man lowered his head, his expression could not be seen, and his tone was sad.

"They...are all dead."

All his teammates died, but he barely survived, although this is a normal thing among practitioners who are out.

But these days, this seems like too much.

The officer thought warily.

"Okay, no problem." At this time, the soldier on the side took back the talisman and said.

The man lowered his head and walked towards the city.

"Wait a minute," the officer suddenly shouted.

"Give him a full check-up."
