Mortal Bones

"What leverage do you have to negotiate a deal with me?"

Fairy Lingyue looked at the sword ghost coldly.

Although the magic root of the magic lotus was not brought in by the sword ghost, it had been hiding it, obviously to threaten her and Xu Taiping at this time.

"As far as I know, once the magic lotus takes root, there are many things that need to be prepared and it takes a long time to remove it without damaging the host."

"During this period, the magic lotus will continue to absorb the host's essence, which may delay the host's cultivation progress, or completely stagnate the host's cultivation."

"As powerful as you are, there are naturally ways to deal with it, but it will definitely take a lot of effort and energy."

The sword ghost said while looking at the two people with a smile.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping felt a hint of worry in his heart, but his face remained calm as usual.

Because he knew that the sword ghost in front of him definitely wanted to use this matter to bargain with Sister Lingyue.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Fairy Lingyue gave the sword ghost a cold look.

She really hated the consciousness Sword Demon had at this moment.

"I can use the sword domain to help you seal this magic lotus."

The sword ghost grinned in a slightly frivolous voice.

"Don't think I don't know that once the magic lotus takes root, it can even engulf your sword domain."

Fairy Lingyue looked at the sword ghost coldly.

"As long as I let that kid continue to test the sword with me, even if the sword domain is completely swallowed up by the magic lotus, I won't hesitate."

Dao Gui suddenly returned to his old tone and assured Fairy Lingyue and Xu Taiping very solemnly.

"Just let me test the knife for you?"

Xu Taiping was a little surprised.

He originally thought that the sword ghost was going to make some excessive request.

Fairy Lingyue was also a little confused, but she realized that the other party was not lying.

"Although I have forgotten many things, I can't remember them without others reminding me, but that obsession has never been forgotten."

"What obsession?"

"I'm looking for a sword technique."

"What sword technique?"

"I don't know what kind of sword technique it is. I just know that once I can find this sword technique, I can be freed."

"Try the knife with me. Which sword technique can you find?"

"It's not you, it's the set of sword skills you inherited from that period of time. This set of sword skills is the pinnacle of sword skills in the world. I have an intuition. As long as I can test the sword with you who have completely mastered that set of sword skills, I will I can find that sword technique.”

When he said this, Daogui suddenly looked excited.

After Xu Taiping heard this, he suddenly recalled the scene where the sword ghost had been urging him to practice swordsmanship during this period, and some of the doubts in his mind were suddenly solved.

"Peace."

Fairy Lingyue did not answer the sword ghost immediately, but turned to look at Xu Taiping.

"Even without him, I still have a way to suppress the growth of this magic lotus."

She then added confidently.

"Little guy, as long as you continue to test the sword with me, I will give up everything to seal this magic lotus for you!"

After hearing Fairy Lingyue's words, the sword ghost suddenly became nervous, and suddenly begged Xu Taiping with a trembling voice.

But Xu Taiping is not a particularly emotional person.

"Which method is riskier!"

He turned to Fairy Lingyue and asked.

"Then it depends on whether you believe in me or him more."

Fairy Lingyue replied.

"Of course it's you, Sister Lingyue."

Xu Taiping answered without thinking.

"Then leave it to..."

"brat!"

Before Fairy Lingyue finished speaking, the sword ghost opposite suddenly fell to his knees with a "plop", and then looked at Xu Taiping with his whole body trembling: "Except for my parents and mentors, I have never knelt under my knees before anyone, but Today I am willing to kneel down and swear that nothing I say today is false, and I will never do anything to betray you, little one."

"I just ask you to continue to test the knife with me!"

After saying this, Sword Demon suddenly knocked his head to the ground.

Xu Taiping was stunned on the spot.

After spending this time together, what impressed him most was the pride and arrogance in Sword Demon's obsession.

But such a conceited being was actually kneeling in front of him at this moment, which made him feel a little weird.

"boom!"

At this time, Sword Demon slammed his head heavily on the ground again, causing the ground to tremble.

"Please continue to test the knife with me!"

The old voice with a hint of stubbornness followed.

"Just for that unrealistic sword technique, you can even give up your self-esteem and arrogance. Sword cultivators are sometimes more difficult to deal with than sword cultivators."

Fairy Lingyue looked at the sword ghost and suddenly showed a hint of awe.

"Lao Duan said that if you practice swordsmanship until the end, you will either go crazy, be a demon, or die."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"boom!"

At this moment, the sword ghost knocked his head heavily on the ground again.

"Little guy, please, please continue to try the sword with me. Only a little bit, just the last line, I can find the sword technique."

Dao Gui looked at Xu Taiping with pleading eyes.

Xu Taiping calmly looked at the old face covered with blood. After a long time, he turned to Fairy Lingyue and said, "Sister Lingyue, I want to take a look."

"What are you looking at?"

"Let's see what kind of knife it was that made him risk his life and dignity."

"good."

Fairy Lingyue rarely intervened in Xu Taiping's serious decisions.

"I promise you."

After receiving the answer from Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping turned his head and looked at the knife ghost.

In an instant, the knife ghost's pupils suddenly expanded, and a childlike ecstasy appeared on his face.

"But, the knife test must be once every three months."

Xu Taiping requested.

The knife test between him and the knife ghost was naturally not an ordinary exchange, but a fight between life and death, so even if he could be resurrected in the knife domain, once a month was still too much of a burden for Xu Taiping at the moment.

"Okay!"

The knife ghost agreed without any hesitation.

After saying this, he swallowed the magic lotus in one gulp, and then solemnly promised Xu Taiping: "As long as I live, I will never let this magic lotus cause any harm to you!"

...

"Although Daogui promised to help you seal the magic lotus with the sword domain, it is not a long-term solution after all. We still have to prepare a few things to pull out the magic lotus in advance."

That evening, beside the bamboo forest in the courtyard, Fairy Lingyue, who had turned into a little girl again, told Xu Taiping earnestly.

"What things do you need?"

Xu Taiping asked.

He was actually a little nervous at the moment. Sister Lingyue said so solemnly, and those things must be difficult to get.

"Yes..."

"Taiping!"

Just as Fairy Lingyue was about to speak, a familiar female voice suddenly came from the door of Qiyuexuan.

This person was Zhao Linglong.

"Taiping, come out quickly. Good news, good news, great news!"

"Taiping, you have got a place to go to Xianhu Cave Heaven!"

Before Xu Taiping could respond, Zhao Linglong at the door couldn't wait to shout.

"Xianhu Cave Heaven?"

Xu Taiping was confused.
