"Taiping, judging from the sword battle between you and Shen Li, Bazhen Powder, Qi Shou Dan, and gentian wine should barely be able to allow you to exert your seven powers."
"It just shouldn't last long. Taking it once can only take as long as a cup of tea."
"And the number of times it should be taken per day cannot exceed three times."
Two days later.
In the stone room of Fanlou in Qiyuexuan, Fairy Lingyue and Xu Taiping were reviewing the results of this sword inquiry.
After the sword battle with Shen Li, Xu Taiping got together with the brothers, sisters, and headmaster of Qifeng, and expressed that he would continue to retreat in the future.
Everyone knew that he went into seclusion not because he gave up on himself, but because he was seeking a breakthrough in martial arts cultivation, and no one tried to dissuade him.
The leader, Zhao Qian, even sent him a large amount of medicinal materials to replenish his qi and blood. He also sent him the yellow bamboo fruit from the Yellow Maple Valley and the 300,000 gold coins he received from watching the battle with the Spirit Mirror.
"I understand Sister Lingyue."
After listening to Fairy Lingyue's warning, Xu Taiping nodded very seriously, then looked at the Bazhen Powder and Qi Shou Dan in his hand and said:
"These Bazhen Powder and Qi Shou Dan are forcibly taking away the Qi, blood and true essence with the soul seal. If you take too much, the backlash of the soul seal will be even stronger."
Before the sword battle with Shen Li, he had taken Bazhen Powder, Shouqi Pill and Gentian Wine, so he naturally understood the purpose of Fairy Lingyue's warning to him just now.
"Besides, my gentian stone can only be soaked in one or two pots of gentian wine at most, and then it can no longer be soaked. According to the brewing method of Tibetan Immortal Brew, brewing a pot of Tibetan Immortal Brew requires at least three qian of gentian stone."
"What's left now can be used to brew three or five jars at most. It can be used if diluted, but it can only be used in ten jars at most."
Xu Taiping picked up his gentian stone which was only the size of his thumb and looked at it with some emotion.
One of the reasons why his mortal bones have been able to cultivate as fast as those high-level spiritual bones over the years is because of this gentian wine.
"If you want to get the gentian stone again, you may have to go to the secret realm outside that day to look for it."
Fairy Lingyue nodded.
"But according to Emperor Xuanhuang, the three gourds of Hidden Immortal Brew are enough to last until you break through the realm of transformation."
She then added.
Xu Taiping nodded and then looked at his twisted and squirming shadow, and asked without raising his head:
"Sister Lingyue, do we have to wait until noon to kill this evil spirit?"
"The sun's fire is strongest at noon, which is the best time to deal with these evil things." Fairy Lingyue nodded, "So, to be on the safe side, we'd better wait for half a stick of incense."
"Okay." Xu Taiping looked away, then sat cross-legged and placed the water-breaking knife flat on his legs.
"Taiping, in addition to brewing the Hidden Immortal Brew and killing the evil god, we also have to start thinking about a trip to the Sea of Dry Stones."
Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping again at this time.
The reason why Xu Taiping was specifically reminded of this was because the two materials needed to plant the Ksitigarbha fruit and the materials needed to break through the elixir had to be found in the Sea of Dry Stones.
"Thank you Sister Lingyue for reminding me." Xu Taiping nodded solemnly, "After I kill the evil god in the shadow and solve my worries about going to other worlds, I will immediately search for a way to the Sea of Dry Stones."
With this evil god in the shadow, Xu Taiping didn't dare to go to other worlds. He could really stay in Zhenwu Heaven and let Emperor Zhenwu's seal suppress this evil god.
"As long as you remember." Fairy Lingyue smiled.
"By the way, Sister Lingyue."
Xu Taiping suddenly remembered something, so he asked Fairy Lingyue curiously: "When Emperor Xuanhuang taught me how to restrain this soul seal, he once said that he was fighting against the sky by doing so, and If I don’t understand something, I’ll ask you.”
Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she answered Xu Taiping:
"I once studied under Huang Ting Dao Palace. Emperor Xuanhuang must have seen through my inheritance, so he said that to you."
"As for the battle with the sky that he mentioned, I actually don't quite understand it either."
At the end of the sentence, Fairy Lingyue rubbed her brows, then looked at Xu Taiping with a serious look and said, "After my soul was shattered in that incident that I cannot tell you about for the time being, many of my own memories are blank. , and it has not recovered yet.”
"Is it true that after the earth fruit matures a few more times, sister Lingyue, your memory will also recover?" Xu Taiping asked curiously.
"It's possible, but I can't guarantee it."
Fairy Lingyue first smiled bitterly and shook her head, then looked at Xu Taiping with a serious face and said: "But Emperor Xuanhuang has given you this set of methods to restrain the soul mark. You can really try it. It is impossible for a being like him to do this." I lied to you about things."
"That's what I thought too." Xu Taiping smiled calmly, "No matter what the outcome is, it's better than sitting here and waiting for your life span to run out."
Using the Demon Emperor's soul to forge a sword, and using the furnace forging method to convert the ghostly energy in the soul seal into spiritual power and true essence. Both of these are unheard of actions that go against the will of heaven. No one can say whether the will of heaven will backfire. not good.
"boom!……"
While the two were talking, an explosion of air suddenly sounded in the stone room.
Then Fairy Lingyue saw streams of black smoke floating out from the shadow behind Xu Taiping.
"Taiping, be prepared. This evil god may have sensed your murderous intention and is preparing to attack you in advance."
Fairy Lingyue reminded sternly.
Xu Taiping nodded without saying a word, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grasp the handle of the water-breaking knife.
"Xu Taiping!"
Just as Xu Taiping was quietly waiting for the evil god to drag him into the abandoned street like last time, the voice of the sword ghost suddenly sounded in Xu Taiping's ears.
"Senior Sword Demon?"
Xu Taiping knew that the Sword Demon, who had never talked nonsense, must have something important to say when he spoke at this time.
"Xu Taiping, give me a piece of soul fire stone. When the evil god appears, I can pull you both into my sword domain."
The sword ghost sent a message to Xu Taiping's soul.
"Taiping, did the sword ghost tell you something?"
Fairy Lingyue on the side sensed that Xu Taiping was communicating with the soul, and immediately asked.
