half an hour later
"Thank you Chen Zuotang for the elixir. Pindao has no big problem now."
Lu Yuanming, whose face had regained a little rosiness, sat cross-legged, smoking a cigarette vigorously.
"Fellow Daoist Lu is so humble. If it weren't for you, tonight would have been very unlucky."
I waved my hand and smiled back, but there was still a dull pain in my chest.
After this battle, I already have a rough idea of my own strength. Although I didn’t fight tooth and nail, it wasn’t much different.
As long as there is no self-mutilation, it will be no problem to deal with the ghost king level.
"Jiuyang, I didn't expect to encounter the Yin-Yang Pearl here. According to records, if you gather two beads, you can change your destiny, increase your Yang life, and reshape your destiny. What you have in your hand is the Pearl of Yin, so it will be sealed by your master. It should be the Pearl of the Sun."
At this moment, the five immortals after the battle also manifested their spiritual bodies one after another. Their faces were full of exhaustion, and their injuries were looming. It seemed that they would not be able to recover for a while.
"It's just a rumor. If it could really change your destiny, wouldn't my master have used it for himself?"
I looked up to the sky and blew out the smoke. I was not interested in the so-called miraculous effects of this Yin Yang Pearl.
"Chen Litang's words are wrong. This Yin Yang Pearl once heard a senior say that changing one's fate against the will of heaven is a bit false, but increasing one's life is true."
Lu Yuanming on the side raised his head, seeming to remember something from the past.
After finishing speaking, I raised my eyebrows and said, "Increase Yangshou? This is not bad. It just so happens that I have lost some Yangshou recently."
But who knows, after hearing this sentence, Lu Yuanming directly retorted: "Chen Zuitang, don't be anxious. Although this Yin Yang Pearl has miraculous effects, it is a double-edged sword. Everyone who has used it in history has averaged 100,000 points." It’s extremely miserable, like a certain ancestor in my Taoist sect.”
"This is interesting. After all, I have a destiny of seven deaths. Is it possible that I still can't suppress this broken bead?"
Hearing this, I also became interested.
"No, although the Yin-Yang Pearl is a condensed thing of heaven and earth, it cannot escape the rules. It is not subject to reincarnation, but it is still within the Tao. Our Taoist ancestors once used the Yin-Yang Pearl to forcibly increase their life span by a few months, but the price was a lifetime of cultivation. In order to return to nothingness, the three souls and seven souls were imprisoned in the pearl and melted into nourishment.”
"Hey, this is interesting. It doesn't matter. I'll wait until I get the other half of the beads. Then I'll try to see if the so-called Yin-Yang beads have such miraculous effects."
I put out the cigarette butt and stood up slowly, holding my chest.
"Chen Zuotang, are you okay?"
At this time, Lu Yuanming also discovered something was wrong with me.
"It's okay, I just suffered some internal injuries. I'll just find a place to rest after this is settled."
I smiled and shook my head. This minor injury was not serious, but I didn't expect that Five Immortals' injuries would be more serious.
In fact, I suffered the greatest loss from the five Immortals in this battle. Not only was my spirit body injured, but I also used the Five Immortals. After this battle, I couldn't recover for months.
"As long as it's okay, let's set off. The Yin and Yang Pearls are one body. The location of the Yang Pearl can be found through the Yin Pearl."
While talking, Lu Yuanming suddenly coughed violently, and upon closer inspection, he coughed up a pool of blood.
"Damn it, your situation seems to be even worse. Why are you still vomiting blood?"
Seeing this, I took a few steps forward to check.
"It's just the sequelae. The cost of casting the God-Calling Curse this time was high, but we won in the end."
Lu Yuanming smiled casually and did not dwell too much on this matter.
"Okay, but don't force it. After all, that girl is still waiting for you to come back. Don't do it unless you have to."
Patting the other person's shoulder, I took the lead in taking out the Pearl of Yin from my pocket, and then followed the guidance of the aura emanating from it.
However, just a few seconds after leaving, a hint of gray appeared in Lu Yuanming's eyes. This was a sign that only appeared when someone was about to die.
"Is this the result of that hexagram?"
Lu Yuanming laughed to himself, then gathered his thoughts and quickly followed me.
Following the breath of the Pearl of Yin, I found that the direction I was commanding turned out to be a very secret place, surrounded by overgrown weeds and standing stones. In the end, the location we arrived at was just a small puddle. The water surface was extremely dark and faint. Silks of white mist can also be seen rising from the water.
"Chen Zuitang, there is no road here. Is there a formation?"
Beside the puddle, Lu Yuanming opened his yin and yang eyes, but after looking around, he didn't find any fluctuations.
"There should be. After all, it was my master who sealed the Pearl of the Sun. Let me give it a try."
After saying that, I lit up my cigarette, then picked up a piece of talisman and walked to somewhere in the puddle.
"The extreme of yin, the emptiness of yang, the intersection of yin and yang comes from the source, the mysterious water rises, falls into the Lingtan, the gate of the earth opens wide and reveals vitality!"
"My brother Ma ordered me to take photos!"
After saying that, I threw out the talisman in my hand.
The talisman floated in the air and slowly fell into the puddle after emitting a faint light.
Bang bang bang!
After a while, the dark water suddenly began to roll, and it looked like boiling water.
"Who! Who's up there!"
Suddenly, a rich male voice sounded from the water, and Lu Yuanming and I were instantly locked in the eyes.
"Hey, it turns out that it is really sealed under the water. It's a pity that my talisman cannot solve this formation."
I shook my head. The talisman floating on the water was now completely wet and had completely lost its power.
"The Pearl of Yin is on you, isn't it!?"
The next moment, the rich male voice sounded again.
"It's on me, but don't think about coming out and being free. I'm going to borrow your power this time."
I picked up the Pearl of Yin, and the thick white mist on it quickly dispersed, and I immediately dived into the water.
"Haha, now that you know everything, I won't hide anything. My power can indeed reverse destiny, but the price you have to pay is unbearable!"
As the white mist continued to penetrate the water, the strong male voice below became more and more powerful, and the boiling water began to bubble.
The next second, a hot breath suddenly burst out like a volcano erupting.
The heat filled the air, and then slowly condensed into an elegant figure of a man in black robe.
"Give back the other half of my power, and I will grant your wish."
On the water, a figure in black robe raised his hand and said to me in a deep tone.
As soon as I finished speaking, I smiled disdainfully and said, "You are in your current state and you are qualified to negotiate terms with me? I can't break this seal, but I can use this Yin Pearl to absorb your power and then merge it into one. Of course, your movements will be temporarily restricted, but the price is that I will let you go free after using it, what is the condition?"
"No, I am the one who is protected by heaven and earth. Why should I negotiate conditions with mortals like you? Remember, it is you who are asking for me. In other words, you are not qualified to negotiate any conditions with me. Give me the beads!”
