Mortal Bones

"Young Master Wuyou, this is it."

In a room where the waiters rested in the Jufeng Teahouse, Fang Lier stood at the door and pointed at the empty room, then hid behind Xu Taiping with a nervous look on his face.

"Miss Lian'er, you saw the shop assistant walk in with your own eyes and never came out again, right?"

Xu Taiping glanced inside the room and asked Fang Lian'er at the same time.

"Yes, sir."

Fang Liang'er grabbed Xu Taiping's arm and nodded repeatedly.

"Then let me go in and take a look first."

Xu Taiping gently patted Fang Liang'er's hand holding his arm and motioned for her to let go.

"Master Wuyou, I...I'll go in together."

Fang Lian'er said bravely.

"Then just hold on to peace."

Xu Taiping took the little monkey Ping An out of his sleeve and put it in Fang Liang'er's hand.

"oh oh!"

Fang Liang'er was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, with no fear in his eyes.

"Sir, the shopkeeper who lives here is named Sun Wang. Because he likes to listen to grandpa's stories, he has always taken good care of us."

"I just happened to meet him when I went downstairs. After I heard that grandpa was injured, he had to go downstairs with me to visit grandpa at the inn."

"He also said that he would bring some gold sore medicine from his hometown to grandpa."

"So he asked me to wait at the door while he went back to the house to get something."

"But I waited for a long time and he didn't come out. Then I opened the door to check and found that there was no one in the house..."

When Xu Taiping was searching in the house, Fang Liang'er, who was following him, recounted to him the previous situation.

"There is indeed something evil about it."

Xu Taiping nodded when he heard this, and at the same time, he sent a message to Fairy Lingyue in his heart:

"Sister Lingyue, there are no secret doors, no secret passages, and no hiding places in this room. Ping An has also confirmed that Fang Liang'er did not lie, so it is very likely that as we suspected, the yellow dog demon species has already begun to play. Hide and seek."

In the current situation, the only thing he could think of was the yellow dog demon species.

"Taiping, use that talisman eye to look at the wandering souls in this house and see if they are any different from the wandering souls in our house."

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping at this time.

"Let me take a look."

Xu Taiping immediately injected a stream of true energy into the palm of his right hand that was engraved with runes, and then pressed his palm towards his left eye.

In an instant, the scene in his left eye was dyed blood red.

And in this blood-red room, wandering souls turned into ghosts and were frantically biting a huddled man in the corner of the room.

The man, dressed as a shop assistant, leaned his head against the wall and weakly pushed the evil spirits around him with his hands.

"Taiping, this shop assistant is probably not dead yet. He is just trapped in the domain barrier of the power of the yellow dog demon species, and cannot be noticed by the outside world."

After Xu Taiping told Fairy Lingyue what he saw, Fairy Lingyue speculated with certainty.

"But if this continues, this shop assistant won't be able to hold on for long. When he dies, he will probably become a wandering ghost under the power of the yellow dog demon species."

Xu Taiping speculated in his mind as he saw the shop clerk's eyes becoming dull and his appearance becoming more and more similar to the ghost next to him.

"No one can save him unless he kills the yellow dog."

Fairy Lingyue shook her head.

"Sir, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Seeing Xu Taiping covering his eyes, Fang Liang'er thought his eyes were uncomfortable, so he stepped forward to ask with some worry.

"It's nothing. I contracted an eye disease a long time ago. It will be cured after covering it with my hands for a while."

Xu Taiping turned back and smiled at Fang Liang'er.

And just when he turned his head, his left eye fell outside the door, and he suddenly found a group of scarlet blood flowing from the room, trying to spread to another room in the corridor.

As the blood spread, the surrounding corridors began to turn blood red, and it seemed like two different worlds from the corridor on the other side where everything was normal.

"Sister Lingyue, it seems that Huang Quan will not be able to hide from everyone in the teahouse from the beginning. He has to slowly accumulate strength."

Looking at the scarlet blood slowly flowing into the clerk's room, Xu Taiping immediately conveyed his speculation to Fairy Lingyue.

"What?"

Fairy Lingyue, who didn't know what Xu Taiping saw, was confused.

So Xu Taiping told Fairy Lingyue what he had just seen in his left eye.

"But even so, you don't have much time left for Taiping. You have to refine the trapped dragon tower into a life-saving magic weapon before the demon blood flows all over the teahouse."

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.

"Now it seems that the only thing we can use is a glowing demon blood candle."

Xu Taiping nodded.

The Demon Blood Candle is a treasure that Earth Fruit planted in the Blood Rain Forest last time. There are three in total.

According to legend, it was made from the blood of the ancient demon god Liuguang. After it is lit, time will stand still for ten years under the candlelight and one day outside the candlelight.

The longest time a blood candle can burn is seven days in the outside world. "

In other words, after lighting a glowing demon blood candle, even if Xu Taiping practiced under the candlelight for seventy years, he would only spend seven days in the outside world.

Therefore, this glowing demon blood candle is the most precious treasure in Xu Taiping's body.

After all, it is gone once it is burned, and there will be no second copy in the world.

…

"Although the Retaining Light Candle is very precious, if you can refine the Dragon Trapped Tower in advance, it will not only help you, Taiping, get through the current predicament, but also be of great benefit to you along the way."

"Because the most powerful thing about this Dragon Trapped Tower is its defensive power. Once you refine it into your life magic weapon, your own defensive power is likely to be improved."

"Just like when you refined the Shentu Bow, you got the power of lightning and fire."

Back in the guest room, Fairy Lingyue told Xu Taiping about the benefits of refining the Dragon Trapped Tower.

After thinking about it carefully, she had to admit that the vision of the Yangling Demon Emperor was longer-term than hers.

"Now it seems that refining the Dragon Trapped Tower in advance does have more advantages than disadvantages."

Xu Taiping nodded.

While talking, he had already taken out a Retaining Light Demon Blood Candle.

"The most regrettable thing this time is that you can't practice under this magic blood candle because of the eight demon emperors' soul imprints on your body. Otherwise, if you concentrate on practicing for seventy years, even if you only practice martial arts, you will definitely be able to improve greatly."

Looking at the blood-red candle that Xu Taiping placed on the table, Fairy Lingyue said with regret in her eyes.

Because of these eight demon emperors' soul imprints, Xu Taiping, let alone practicing, would have difficulty staying alive if it weren't for the few mouthfuls of Tibetan Immortal Wine from Daogui.

And those few mouthfuls of Tibetan Immortal Wine can only help him survive for three to five years at most. It is impossible to practice under this magic blood candle for seventy years.

But fortunately, when refining the natal immortal weapon, only a little soul power and a lot of time are consumed.

So this is why Di Yang specifically emphasized that he should use Xuanyuan clone to refine the trapped dragon tower.

"It's okay, Sister Lingyue."

Xu Taiping split out a Xuanyuan clone, and then used the true fire on his fingertips to light the magic blood candle, then smiled at Fairy Lingyue and continued:

"I still have two magic blood candles left."

"After breaking through the transformation realm, if I really encounter a strong enemy, I can light both of these magic blood candles and retreat for 140 years in one go."
