Mortal Bones

"Snapped!……"

On the sixth floor of Xuanhuang Tower, in a cave at the bottom of a cliff near Tianshuang Pavilion, Xu Taiping lifted up the treasure box dug out of the ground.

This treasure box is the second treasure hidden in Xuanhuang Tower by Emperor Xuanhuang.

Regarding the treasure map of this second treasure, Xu Taiping and the others had already obtained it on the fourth floor, but because the burial location was on the sixth floor, they only came to pick it up today.

"Mr. Zhang, how long has it been since we separated from Nanxing and the others?"

Xu Taiping picked up the treasure box in his hand and placed it on a rock, then turned to ask Mr. Zhang who was guarding the entrance of the cave.

"Half a stick of incense, no more, no less, exactly half a stick of incense."

Mr. Zhang replied.

"That's good."

Xu Taiping nodded, and then while checking the treasure box in front of him, he continued:

"As long as we can reach the entrance of the seventh floor within one stick of incense, we can catch up and go to the seventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower with them."

Originally, he, Mr. Zhang, and Nan Xing planned to leave the tower directly after rescuing Gu Qingcheng, and then rest outside the tower for at least half a month before going to the seventh floor of the Xuanhuang Tower.

But after Gu Qingcheng's repeated entreaties, Xu Taiping finally agreed to go to the seventh floor first.

However, due to time constraints and the need to retrieve the treasures left by Emperor Xuanhuang, they finally decided to split up. Gongshu Nanxing and Zhai Mo took Gu Qingcheng to enter the entrance to the seventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower first, while Xu Taiping and Zhang Lao came here. Get the treasure.

The reason for doing this is because as long as the Qinglong Order is there, Gongshu Nanxing and the others can wait for Xu Taiping and the others at the entrance for a stick of incense, and during the waiting period, the time on the seventh floor of the Xuanhuang Tower will not go back. go by.

In this way, Gu Qingcheng doesn't have to worry about something happening in the seventh-floor Xuanhuang Tower while waiting, and Xu Taiping and the others can successfully obtain the treasures left by Emperor Xuanhuang.

Best of both worlds.

"Sir, that girl Qingcheng has been refusing to reveal what the demon cultivator's plot is. She only said that it is related to the descendants of the Xuanyuan family in Zhenbei Prefecture. We cannot believe her words."

Mr. Zhang hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke to persuade.

"certainly."

Xu Taiping raised his head, smiled and nodded to Mr. Zhang.

Naturally, he was not stupid enough to believe Gu Qingcheng.

The reason why he agreed to go to the seventh floor was because a location that Gu Qingcheng inadvertently revealed happened to be the place where his eyes were exposed to the disaster.

The only thing that puzzled him was that Xuanyuan Xueluo did not appear in the scene in the Lotus Soul Mark.

Not only did Xuanyuan Xueluo not appear, not even the White Tiger Armor or the soldiers of Zhenbei Mansion appeared in this scene.

"And I have made an appointment with Miss Qingcheng. The first thing after ascending to the seventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower is for her to tell us all about Jiuyuan's conspiracy."

As Xu Taiping said this, he reached out and patted the treasure box lightly, shaking off all the soil on it.

"Then I can rest assured."

After listening to Xu Taiping's words, Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to guard the entrance of the cave with a vigilant face.

"Click!..."

At this time, Xu Taiping had also used the key to open the treasure box.

After opening the heavy lid of the treasure box, several items in the treasure box fell into Xu Taiping's sight——

A jade slip, a bead, an oil-paper umbrella, and a piece of paper.

And almost at the same time he opened the lid, the voice of the Xuanhuang Tower Spirit sounded in Xu Taiping's mind——

"Congratulations to the True Martial Heavenly Cultivator Rusty Lion, for receiving a copy of the Xuanhuang Gong "Overturning the Sea" from Emperor Xuanhuang, a fairy treasure wind-suppressing bead, and a fairy treasure Phi Yun Umbrella."

"Except for these three treasures, the Xuanhuang Gong "Overturning the Sea" cannot be used inside the Xuanhuang Tower, the Wind Suppressing Bead and the Cloud-Pied Umbrella can be used inside and outside the Xuanhuang Tower at the same time."

"However, when used in the tower, unless you go to the ninth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower, you can only exert the power of the Lingbao level."

After listening to Ta Ling's introduction, Xu Taiping suddenly felt happy.

Because just as Fairy Lingyue had expected, the second step of the Xuanhuang Technique, "Overturning the Sea" created by Emperor Xuanhuang, was indeed in this second treasure box.

In addition, the wind-suppressing beads and cloud-peeping umbrellas can be used both inside and outside the tower, which is somewhat beyond Xu Taiping's expectations.

"This wind-suppressing bead is very similar to the Cangluan Ring. It can convert the true essence into wind essence and the like and store it in it. It can be released together when needed."

"The slightly different thing is that it can be used to block strong winds, even hurricanes on the sea."

"This Cloud-Piercing Umbrella should be a magic weapon with good protective power. If it exerts its power at the level of a spiritual treasure, it should be no problem to drop a God Refining Realm monk and strike with all his strength."

After sensing the two treasures one by one with his mind, Xu Taiping became even more satisfied.

"But what's going on with this piece of paper? Why didn't the tower spirit introduce it just now?"

After putting away the three treasures, Xu Taiping's eyes suddenly fell on the white paper in confusion.

Immediately, he picked up the piece of paper from the treasure box and unfolded it carefully.

A line of somewhat wild cursive script then appeared in front of Xu Taiping——

"Do you want to get the "Sun-piercing Chapter" of my Xuanhuang Gong? Do you want to get the key to my treasure house? Then go to the eleventh floor of the Xuanhuang Tower and defeat me Dao Nu Wushuang."

After carefully reading the scrawled writing on the paper several times, Xu Taiping carefully put the paper away, then said with a wry smile on his face:

"Let's not talk about the strength of this sword slave Wushuang. It's still unclear whether I can reach the eleventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower."

"Sir." Zhang Lao, who was guarding the cave entrance, suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Taiping, "The time is almost up."

"Let's go."

Xu Taiping nodded.

Compared to challenging the sword slave, the most urgent thing for them at the moment was to ask Gu Qingcheng what happened on the seventh floor.
