The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

Chapter 18: Qiongbi Ruyi
Unfortunately, there is no if. Who made them meet Xuyang? The show is over, there is no fun anymore, it’s time to take action.

With a flash, Xuyang, dressed in a black robe, appeared behind the fat man. He cut the back of his neck lightly with a knife and then repeated the same trick in front of the horrified look of the young man in black, knocking them all to the ground.

He gathered up some remaining storage bags and magic tools on the ground and threw away everything including the sect's jade tokens that might have tracking effects. He almost filled up the area under the reverse scale. After counting, he found that there were fifteen storage bags.

"I'll get a bigger storage bag if I get a chance. It would be even better if it has a space treasure."

After cleaning up the battlefield and breathing out fire to cremate these poor sect kids, Xuyang picked one up with one claw, found a deserted place on the map in their storage bag, and galloped away.

Half a day later, Xuyang landed on a high black soil slope called Heishiyuan in Xizhou, Yue State, found a hidden cave on the cliff, and walked in.

He casually put the two men on the ground and did not rush to interrogate the two unlucky guys who were in a coma. Instead, he took out all the things from the white-haired old man first.

At this moment, there were three things placed in front of Xuyang.

They were a black wooden sign, a piece of pure white bone, and an emerald green jade ruyi.

Most of the materials in the white-haired old man's storage bag were related to ghosts and spirits, as well as several spiritual objects for forming elixirs, the inner elixirs of monsters, tens of thousands of spirit stones, and several ordinary ancient treasures and magical instruments. In theory, the only truly valuable ones were these three.

The Jade Ruyi is a very good defensive ancient treasure. In the hands of the white-haired old man, it can withstand one or two blows from his full strength of level seven physical body. Among all the ancient treasures, it is definitely one of the best.

The whole body of Ruyi is only about one foot in size, lush green, and has a warm and subtle spiritual light. There are two ancient small seal characters engraved on the handle. After Xuyang compared it with the ancient books of Luanxinghai, it should be the two words "Qiongbi", which means a pure white mountain, and has the meaning of preciousness and beauty.

"Qiong Bi. It feels wrong, but I can't put my finger on it."

Xuyang shook his head thoughtfully, having no clue, and continued reading.

As long as you place the dark wooden plaque next to you, you will feel a sense of tranquility and peace in the depths of your soul. Your soul will feel as comfortable as a baby in the embryo, and at the same time, your spiritual power will grow slightly stronger.

"A soul-nourishing tree that nourishes the soul and strengthens the spirit?"

After Xuyang was surprised, he was overjoyed.

All along, among the three paths of essence, energy and spirit, as a dragon, he is best at the path of essence. He uses the Bone Tempering Technique to temper his monster body and condense his essence and blood. He also has a jade pendant to refine real dragon blood. It can be said that in terms of his natural talent and attainments in the path of essence, no one in the entire human world can match his unique conditions.

The way of Qi has the Art of Transforming into a Dragon, not to mention that he owns a mine of spirit stones, and has used the spirit stones generously to refine his magic power several times, so his magic power is also profound.

Only the Way of God has always been passively nourished by sperm and blood. Once it encounters an opponent with truly powerful spiritual consciousness, it may be one of the flaws that lead to its defeat.

With the soul-nourishing wood, he can find a method to strengthen his spiritual consciousness in the future, and condense his spirit, soul and mind into one. Then no one will be able to target him in this way.

The remaining piece of white bone was the only thing that Xuyang couldn't understand.

After being burned by fire and hit by huge hammer, it was surprisingly safe and sound. Suddenly, Xuyang seemed to remember something, and took out a soul-gathering bowl from the old man's storage bag. He had just seen this bowl before. It was full of dark and cold soul power and yin energy. No one knew how many killings were required to gather this bowl.

At this moment, a red light flashed in Xuyang's hand, and a group of cold black air came out from the soul-gathering bowl, wrapping the piece of bone. Soon, the bone piece reacted, and the originally white surface began to turn black, and it spontaneously began to absorb the Yin Qi. As a large amount of Yin Qi was absorbed, it gradually turned half black and half white. After a cup of tea, it had turned black.

At the same time, a low humming sound was heard, and wisps of dark light burst out, and suddenly the cave was filled with a strange and gloomy atmosphere.

Xuyang first used his magic power to wrap and sense it, and felt that there were no ghosts, souls, or other strange monsters, so he felt at ease to penetrate his spiritual consciousness into it.

A black light flashed, and ancient texts and pictures of people practicing martial arts appeared before his eyes.

After he carefully studied it, he found that this was the Xuanyin Method. From level one to level thirteen, it was enough to practice to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

However, the Xuanyin Dafa in the bone fragment was very fragmented. Many key parts of the secret techniques were glossed over. It was obviously a castrated version. Although the old man had tried his best to complete the missing parts, it still felt very messy.

If you practice this kind of castration technique, wouldn't you be easily controlled by someone who truly understands the essence of this technique?
Xuyang curled his lips slightly. The Xuanyin Sect really had a tradition of loving father and filial son. The master was on guard against the apprentice, and the apprentice harbored evil intentions. The Xuan Gu Ji Yin Sect in later generations was no exception.

After figuring it out, he originally wanted to throw away this useless thing, but after thinking about it, Xuyang kept the bone fragment. The secret techniques of restraining the spirit, condensing the soul, refining the soul, searching the soul, dual cultivation, and gathering the essence contained in it can still be used as a reference for condensing the soul.

Moreover, with the soul-searching technique, it becomes much easier to obtain the enemy's memory.

After such a delay, the two unconscious people on the ground woke up one after another after a few painful groans.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment. Not understanding the situation, they both kept silent.

Xuyang was naturally well aware of this. After arriving in Tiannan, the sky was high and the sea was vast. He was also happy to have found a treasure, so he was in a good mood. He used the sound-transmitting suona to speak to the two of them indifferently:

"I have traveled to the south of the country and do not know much about the local customs and people. I have long admired the local sects of Yue. Can you two help me solve some of my doubts?"

"Senior has been hiding his true face and not showing it to others. I'm afraid that after we reveal the truth, we will still end up with our souls torn apart." After a moment of silence, the Xuanjianmen foundation-building master dressed in black spoke bitterly.

The fat man in the Confucian robe at the side moved his lips for a moment, and then remained silent, obviously agreeing with what his opponent had said before.

"Oh, forget it. I wanted to let you suffer less. Since you are unwilling to cooperate, I will just use the soul search technique directly."

Xuyang was not angry when he saw this. He took out the eerie and terrifying Xuanyin bone piece and threatened it in a calm tone.

The soul-searching technique recorded in the Xuanyin Dafa requires the consciousness of at least the Nascent Soul stage to perform. Xuyang's consciousness is barely enough, but he has just obtained it and has not yet carefully comprehended it, so the soul-searching fragment is definitely intermittent and incomplete.

Looking at the spooky bone fragments, the two were immediately frightened out of their wits. This bone fragment was obviously a typical magic artifact. Compared to the pain brought by extracting the soul and refining the spirit, death was just a luxury to put an end to it all.

"Senior! Whatever you need to know, as long as it does not involve the constraints of our sect's oath, I will tell you everything I know! I have practiced for more than sixty years and went through untold hardships to achieve my current level of cultivation. It is really not easy! I am willing to serve you at my utmost, and I only ask for your mercy and give me a way to survive."

To Xuyang's surprise, it was the sanctimonious fat man who spoke first. At this moment, he knelt down and begged for his life without caring about his face.
