Mortal Bones

"Is this strange?"

Xu Taiping was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this blood rock soul flint would make Palace Master Qiu lose his composure.

However, as soon as he said these words, he realized that he shouldn't ask.

Because this also exposed the fact that he did not understand the blood rock soul flint.

However, to Qiu Shanyuan, Xu Taiping's words sounded more like - what's so strange about such an ordinary thing?

"I remember the emperor once said that there are no more than ten people who know about the blood rock soul flint in the upper world."

"Sure enough, Xu Taiping was able to activate the Sword Domain in such a short period of time. Behind him, there is indeed a strong man who has opened the Sword Domain, or even the Nine-Level Sword Domain, who is giving guidance."

"Otherwise, things like Blood Rock Soul Fire Stone are not only useless but harmful to ordinary monks, what is the use of him?"

"This senior must have wanted to use Xu Taiping's words to remind me of the Soul Fire Stone."

After thinking rapidly in his mind for a few breaths, Qiu Shanyuan finally made a decision in his heart - he could agree to this matter.

Immediately, he looked up at Xu Taiping and Lu Rushuang seriously and said:

"Two of you, I can accept this matter first, but the Buddhist Zen Seal and the Blood Rock Soul Fire Stone are both extremely precious. You have to ask the Emperor for instructions before you can make a final decision. I will give you a definite answer tomorrow."

In fact, the reason why Qiu Shanyuan wanted to ask the emperor for instructions was not the meditation seal and the blood rock soul flint, but the expert behind Xu Taiping who knew the blood rock soul flint.

"sure."

Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.

Seeing Xu Taiping agreed, Qiu Shanyuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

If a Mysterious Disaster Demon Seed can be exterminated, to Youyun Mansion, losing a Zen Seal and a Blood Rock Soul Fire Stone will be nothing at all.

"Mr. Xu, this golden coin was refined by the emperor himself. Although it has no other functions, it can block the induction of monsters. For the sake of safety, please keep it first."

Qiu Shanyuan stood up, picked up the gold coin on the table, and handed it to Xu Taiping.

"Thank you Lord Qiu."

Xu Taiping was not polite and directly reached out and took the gold coin.

"Then I'm going back. Master Lu, Mr. Xu, please keep everything that happens tonight a secret."

Qiu Shanyuan bowed his hands to Xu Taiping and Lu Rushuang.

…

"Taiping, do you really want to agree to this?"

After Qiu Shanyuan left, Hall Master Lu looked at Xu Taiping with some worry.

"Little sister-in-law, every monk has only one chance to participate in the Golden Scale Society. If I give up without even trying, I will definitely regret it in the future."

Xu Taiping raised his hands and intertwined his fingers to support the back of his head, looked up at the night sky above his head, and continued:

"Moreover, if I can beat this young crow, I will have a chance to compete for the top spot. Didn't you also say that? The higher my ranking is on the Golden Scale List, the more likely Zhenwu Tian and Qingxuan Sect will be in the coming troubled times. Fewer people will die.”

"My master and his old man have a greater chance of surviving in that mysterious cave."

"Now that the opportunity is in front of me, if I don't fight for it, I may never encounter it again in the future."

At the end of the sentence, Xu Taiping turned his head and looked at Lu Rushuang with extremely firm eyes.

The look in Xu Taiping's eyes made Lu Rushuang's heart tremble.

"It's so similar, so similar to Senior Brother and the others..."

The look in the eyes of her two senior brothers when they said goodbye to their master in front of that door was exactly the same as Xu Taiping's at this moment.

"Could it be that the curse of Taixuanzong's lineage is the same as its inheritance, and it also... also fell on Taiping?"

There was a slight chill in her heart.

"No matter whether Taiping wins or loses in the next match, I will inform him of this matter. He is qualified to know all this."

After making up her mind, Lu Rushuang nodded and said:

"Now that you have made up your mind, you can practice with peace of mind in the next few days and leave the communication with Youyuntian to your senior aunt. Your senior aunt, I will definitely ask Youyun Mansion to come up with something worthy of your risk. Thank you."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately raised the corners of his mouth, nodded with a smile and said:

"I'm sure I can rest assured when my little aunt is doing things."

With his little aunt here, he doesn't have to worry about bargaining with the people of Youyun Mansion.

"By the way, what exactly is this blood rock soul flint?"

At this time, Lu Rushuang, who was about to go back to the house to make some arrangements, suddenly turned around and asked Xu Taiping curiously.

Xu Taiping smiled helplessly when he heard this.

He doesn't know either.

…

Late this night.

In the sword ghost sword domain.

"Senior Dao Gui, what exactly is this blood rock soul flint? Why did even the master of Youyun Mansion become so out of character after hearing this?"

Xu Taiping, who had just entered the sword realm, immediately asked the sword ghost the question that had been confusing in his heart for a long time.

"The Blood Rock Soul Fire Stone does not belong to the Shangqing Realm, but comes from the Taiqing Realm that has severed contact with the Shangqing Realm. The origin of this blood rock involves a dispute between a certain ancient Buddha and the Taoist ancestors. , it’s better that you don’t know for the time being, so as not to be involved in the invisible cause and effect, and you won’t know how you died in the end.”

The sword ghost said in a cold tone.

When he heard that this matter actually involved the dispute between the Buddhist and Taoist families, Xu Taiping was shocked and immediately put away the idea of ​​inquiring.

"It seems that your memory has recovered a lot, Senior Daogui."

Xu Taiping said with some hindsight.

"Indeed, after you opened the Zhangba Sword Domain, my memory has recovered a lot."

Dao Gui did not deny it, but judging from the tone of his words, it seemed that he did not really want to talk to Xu Taiping about this matter.

"Then Senior Daogui, what exactly do you want this Blood Rock Soul Fire Stone for?"

Seeing this, Xu Taiping immediately changed the subject.

He didn't believe that Daogui was just saying it casually.

Daogui didn't answer immediately, but raised one foot and tapped the ground lightly with his toes.

"Boom boom boom..."

With this light tap, the originally calm Dao Domain immediately saw lightning and thunder.

At the same time, the originally broken altar under them began to repair automatically at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a while, Xu Taiping was surprised to find that in the part of the altar that was repaired, there was an additional passage and steps leading to the underground.

"Senior Daogui, what is under the steps?"

Xu Taiping looked at the entrance with surprise.

Daogui was very pleased with the look on Xu Taiping's face at the moment. He immediately crossed his arms and looked towards the direction of the passage, and explained to Xu Taiping with a proud face:

"The altar where you and I have tested our swords over the years is not inside my sword domain, but just an entrance to my sword domain."

As he said that, he pointed to the steps in the passage, and then continued:

"And below that is the real location of my sword domain."
