Mortal Bones

"Dong dong, dong dong, dong dong..."

Listening to this very rhythmic trembling sound and looking at this beating heart, Xu Taiping was a little confused.

That's right, this heart is the fourth treasure Diguo found from the ground of Fengming Mountain.

"Sister Lingyue, did Diguo find the wrong treasure when he found it from the ground?"

Xu Taiping held up the heart slightly and asked Fairy Lingyue with some confusion.

Fairy Lingyue, who was stunned, was awakened by Xu Taiping, and immediately said with a look of ecstasy:

"Taiping, you have your phoenix marrow stone!"

When she said this, Fairy Lingyue sounded very determined.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping was also happy.

But looking at this strange heart with seven holes in his hand, Xu Taiping's confusion once again outweighed his surprise.

"Sister Lingyue, what exactly is this strange heart?"

He couldn't help but asked Fairy Lingyue with curiosity on his face.

"What I want Diguo to find this time is the saint's literary heart. It is a sacred object of Confucianism that the sages of Confucianism cultivated with great righteousness and spent their whole lives."

"Once this thing comes out, all ghosts will flee and no evil will invade."

"The Wuji Immortal from Linyuan Pavilion, a fellow Confucian and Taoist practitioner, will definitely bring out the Phoenix Marrow Stone in exchange for this item."

"And the reason why I am sure that there will be saint Wenxin here is because I saw a secret in the Huangting Dao Palace file."

"About a hundred thousand years ago, there was a Confucian sage who fought a decisive battle with a demon god here in order to protect the common people. As a result, he died together with that demon god."

"Because the aftermath of that war was so terrifying, in this area that was a big river more than 100,000 years ago, the river course shifted, the mountains and rivers collapsed, and the bodies of saints and demons sank into the ground, nowhere to be found."

"So this time, I wanted to try my luck with earth fruits."

"After all, Earth Fruit's greatest ability is to pick up treasures buried underground."

"And the more valuable the treasure, the easier it is to pick it up."

The spirit body of Fairy Lingyue held the beating heart in her hands and explained to Xu Taiping with awe in her eyes.

"So, we finally found it this time."

While Xu Taiping was puzzled, his eyes became extremely excited.

"More than just found it!"

Fairy Lingyue suddenly raised the corner of her mouth, then pointed at the hole in her heart and said:

"This is the heart's eye. In the Confucian Sacred Heart, the more eyes there are, the higher the knowledge, and the higher the aura of awe-inspiringness. Like the piece we found, the sage's heart with seven eyes, is also called the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart. It is the most precious treasure of Confucianism!”

Xu Taiping was speechless.

Although I have never heard of the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, it was evaluated as a "treasure" by Fairy Lingyue, which shows its importance.

"Since it's so valuable, otherwise...we won't exchange it with him?"

Xu Taiping asked tentatively.

"No, no, no."

Fairy Lingyue waved her hands repeatedly, then continued with a smile:

"This seven-aperture exquisite heart can only be used in the hands of Confucian disciples, and it is of no use in our hands."

When she said this, Fairy Lingyue paused for a moment, then glanced at Xu Taiping with a sly smile and said:

"What I want to say is that exchanging an exquisite heart with seven orifices for a phoenix marrow stone is too much. I have to find a way to get more things out of the hands of the Linyuan Pavilion Wuji Immortal."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly realized, then nodded in agreement and said:

"That's how it should be!"

"Put this thing away first. It's still some time before we can return to Qingxuan. I'll think about what treasures you can use on the Wuji Immortal."

Seeing that Xu Taiping was so enlightened, Fairy Lingyue smiled with great satisfaction.

"By the way, Sister Lingyue, you haven't said yet what uses this peach meat can be used for."

Seeing Fairy Lingyue looking deep in thought, Xu Taiping immediately reminded her.

At the same time, he also took out the jade box containing peach meat.

"I almost forgot about it."

After being reminded by Xu Taiping, Fairy Lingyue also recalled it.

"Any edible fruit produced by the earth fruit is no less than a great medicine. Ordinary people take it to prolong life, and monks take it to enhance the true essence of Qi and blood."

"And for you and me, the most important use of this peach meat is..."

Fairy Lingyue paused for a moment, and used the power of her soul to levitate the peach flesh, and then continued:

"Taiping, after you eat a piece of peach flesh, I can borrow your body for one attack, although I have to suppress your cultivation level to the shocking realm."

"But it should be no problem to use it against some current opponents."

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping also looked surprised and said:

"Great, now that I have five spiritual peaches, sister Lingyue, you can borrow my body to strike five times!"

Although he is not a person who likes to rely on others, if Sister Lingyue has five chances to take action, he will be much more confident when facing Qingxuan's current disaster.

Fairy Lingyue seemed to have seen through Xu Taiping's thoughts, and immediately smiled helplessly and said:

"Taiping, you may not know that the Zhenwu Barrier of Zhenwutian has great restrictions on monks above the level of refining the gods, especially those outside Zhenwutian."

"If I take action, it is very likely that I will only waste a spiritual peach in vain."

"The catastrophe of Qingxuan Sect this time may have to be relied on by yourself."

Xu Taiping was startled when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"I forgot about that."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Fairy Lingyue with a smile and said:

"It's okay, Sister Lingyue. With the help of Liantong this time, my cultivation has also been improved to the realm of refining spirits. I still have so many treasures in my hands, so I will definitely be able to handle it."

Fairy Lingyue nodded, then pointed to the Shentu bow on the table and said:

"Originally, I wanted you to refine the seal of life and death into your life-defining magic weapon first, but now the Qingxuan catastrophe is approaching. The more you improve your combat power, the more confidence you will have, so you should refine the Shentu bow."

"Sister Lingyue, the different immortal weapons you refine, could it be that it also affects the combat power of the cultivators?"

Seeing that Fairy Lingyue mentioned the matter of refining life-defining magic weapons, Xu Taiping immediately raised his doubts.
