Xi Lengyan’s star-like pupils suddenly widened. Disbelief appeared on her beautiful face. She rubbed her eyes repeatedly to confirm that she was not hallucinating. Then, she said in surprise, “M-Master Shen?”
Shen Ping stood with a smile. “Yes, it’s been a few years. How is Miss Xi?”
Xi Lengyan took a few deep breaths. “H-How can you be here? This is the Netherworld Core of Mount Futu. Not to mention you, even the Perfected Lords and Earth Immortals of the Dao sects in the world can’t enter this place.”
She found it unbelievable.
Thousands of years ago, Shen Ping was still a weak scholar. Although she had gotten her maidservant, Chunxiang, to give the Blood Taisui to him, even so, it was impossible for him to grow to the level of a Heavenly Immortal in just a few years.
Shen Ping said softly, “This is all thanks to Miss Xi’s gift. If not for the Blood Taisui, I wouldn’t have come here no matter what. As for how I came to you, it’s a long story. It’s more important to save you first.”
When Xi Lengyan heard this, she hurriedly shook her head. “Don’t. Don’t ever step into this house. This house is completely made of the Anti-magic Netherworld Stone. Not only will you lose all your magic power inside, but you will also be contaminated with a special aura that will be difficult to remove for the rest of your life.
“Although I don’t know how you arrived here, you should leave quickly.”
The Anti-Magic Netherworld Stone was a rare resource like the nomological stone. It was similar to a large array of the Anti-Magic Curse. It could prevent magic powers from circulating. Shen Ping had seen it in books. However, no matter how much magic powers it prohibited, it was difficult to prohibit his strange beast bloodline.
Therefore, as Xi Lengyan spoke, he teleported into the house.
“You… Why do you have to do this? Young Master Shen, I’m not worth your life.” Xi Lengyan sighed softly.
Shen Ping said, “Isn’t Miss Xi also protecting the secret of the Blood Taisui for me?”
If Xi Lengyan revealed the whereabouts of the Blood Taisui, he could not resist Mount Futu at all when he was weak. Furthermore, if not for the Blood Taisui, he would not have been able to activate his strange beast talent and break through to the Perfected Lord realm in such a short period of time.
Xi Lengyan shook her head gently. “The Blood Taisui is not a simple matter. Forget it, it’s too late to say this now. You will be discovered soon after you enter the house. Ghost King Youyue will also easily sense the power of the Blood Taisui in your body. She can use a method to extract the Blood Taisui. At that time, your life will be in danger.”
She sighed helplessly. “In the end, I still can’t escape…”
Before he could finish speaking, her voice stopped abruptly, and she saw that Shen Ping had returned to the window.
“Miss Xi, this house can’t trap me.”
Xi Lengyan’s red lips parted slightly and her eyes were filled with shock. However, she quickly came back to her senses and smiled. “Young Master Shen, it’s been a few years since we last met. I didn’t expect you to have such divine powers. It’s really amazing. It’s just that we can’t stay here for long. Young Master Shen, you should leave. Don’t worry about me. Youyue used to have a good relationship with me. As long as she can’t find the whereabouts of the Blood Taisui, she won’t harm my life.”
Then, she continued, “Young Master, don’t act on impulse. Mount Futu is powerful and has a Ghost Immortal with ten thousand years of cultivation.”
Shen Ping frowned slightly. If it was only a Ghost King, he could still deal with it with his strange beast talent. However, if it was a Ghost Immortal, he could escape on his own, but he could not bring Xi Lengyan out.
Moreover, Xi Lengyan was indeed safe and sound. Her life was not in danger. He thought about it seriously. He looked at Xi Lengyan and said, “Miss Xi, the next time I come, I’ll definitely save you.”
“Since you have such thoughts, it’s not in vain that I gave you the Blood Taisui.” Xi Lengyan smiled.
“I’ll take my leave.”
With that, he disappeared.
Xi Lengyan looked at the empty window as if the short experience just now was just a dream. She could not help but feel a sense of loss. However, she knew very well that Shen Ping’s departure was the best choice.
“In just a few years, he actually grew to this extent. Looks like he has other opportunities on him. Youyue, your plan to condense the Blood Taisui into an Immortal is going to fail.”
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her lips again. Although she did not know what level Shen Ping was at now, he could deal with it safely with his methods even with the Blood Taisui on him.
Yunjiang Cliff Cave.
Shen Ping stood in front of the mural. He stood with his hands behind his back for a long time and sighed. He originally thought that Perfected Lord’s strength and the talent of a strange beast could easily save Xi Lengyan, but in the end, he had made a wasted trip.
“I still have to transcend the mortal world and become an Earth Immortal or even a Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit to save her.”
He was deep in thought.
To other Daoists, breaking through from the Perfected Lord Realm to the Earthly Immortal Realm was a huge threshold. It could even trap them for a long time. To him though, it was not difficult. As long as he killed an Earthly Immortal, he could pluck their Dao Fruit through the Devouring Talent.
Even if he did not have an Earth Immortal to provide him with, he could still rely on the Nomological Stone he obtained from Scholar Chen to break through. He just needed to absorb the vitality of the five elements.
He had cultivated the Yin Qi in the Yin and Yang Qi. Whether it was his daily homework or relying on his devouring talent, he had condensed Yin Qi. Now, he had to cultivate the five elements again.
“Cultivation techniques and the vitality of the five elements… Looks like I have to be a wandering Daoist to slay demons.”
Among the demons and ghosts, ghosts were the Yin and Yang Qi, while demons were more of the Five Elements Qi. In the entire world, the demon forces were spread throughout the provinces. As long as the range of the mountains was slightly higher, it was easy for demons to be born inside. For example, a wolf demon had appeared on Little Lotus Seed Mountain. The fox he had encountered last time had also evolved towards the direction of demons..
